Emailed HTC at 4:14 pm EST regarding the HTC FPS cap of 30 FPS.
Received an email from HTC at 4:21 pm EST:
"Dear [TRIP],
Hello Juan, Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC America Technical Support via E-Mail with your request to remove the frames per second cap on the Sprint EVO 4G. The human eye can only process 29.97 frames per second, so HTC purposely capped the EVO 4Gs frames per second to 30. This has enabled the device to operate more effectively in other areas because of less processor usage in FPS."

First of all, not sure who Juan is. Not even my name. Looks like its a response email that is automatically generated by HTC. They must have forgot to remove "Juan" from the canned emial. *sigh*

Second of all, the human eye response is completely bogus. Ofcourse it can process an FPS num like 29.97, but does that mean technology should be capped as well? Love the HTC EVO, but we can clearly see the difference between lets say a 60FPS nexus one output than the 30 FPS that the EVO has.

Lastly, "more effectively in other areas" response is also bogus. What other areas? More processor devoted to the 4G antenna? Then why do you have a 1GHz processor in this device?

*Sigh* I love my Evo 4g. I haven't complained yet. But getting a canned response from HTC is disheartening to say the least. I doubt we are going to see an HTC patch fix anytime soon.
