So yeah now HTC admits the 30fps limit is software because of the HDMI port. - Page 5

The bigger issue here is HTC flat out lied about this situation! Why people accept this type of behavior from Companies I just can't understand. Everyone always defends them like "oh they release a lot of phones" etc etc.

As consumers that isn't our problem.

Do you guys honestly think all the DEVS working on the 30fps issue are doing so to score higher on Neocore? No its to fix the input lag/scroll lag. Sure games and stuff are also motivations but thats not the main reason.

I'm glad that you don't think there is any lag but there are a lot of people who disagree. I don't need to watch a video because I have real world tests that I and many others have done ourselves.

The bottom line is HTC took a shortcut and instead of making it to where the cap was only imposed when using the HDMI port they just capped it off and then decided to lie about it.

Its up to us as consumers to call companies out on this type of behavior. I'm sorry if some thinks thats just 'bitching'..

Sorry the first comment you quoted me was sarcasm. I forget sometimes that that doesn't come across well in text.

Yes..The epson screens seem to be doing better right now but theirs have a bit more tearing. I have a novak screen and there has been a lot of new versions of the hack the past couple days. v5.1.1 of the hack gives me the best results so far.

The source of the limit hasn't been found yet so at this point its more of dirty hacks.

^^ perhaps it really is becuase of the hdmi since the incredible doesnt have it. thats really one of the few diffs between them, hdmi, ff cam, wimax radio, and size of course

Hmm, interesting thought, but I'm still going to say it's just an excuse... droid x has hdmi out and is dominating every other device in benchmarks. Don't you think HTC could easily come up with a way to reduce fps to 30 when hdmi is connected, then go back to higher rates when disconnected? Didn't XDA already hack it? Anyone know if HDMI out is still working properly after the hack?

Plus, remember the huge battery drain problems when the EVO first came out? I bet letting the frame rate max out didnt help... However, the OTA update helped with battery a lot, so if that was the original reason then I hope they can fix it officially now that people are getting better batt life...
