    Help Screen burn-in possible?

    Last night I burned-in my Evo's screen! I fell asleep playing a game which doesn't sleep the screen, so it was on a stats screen all night. This game (Big Win Hockey) is pretty processor intensive so the phone tends to get hot while it is running, even when on that stats screen. So I woke up...

    Wiimote connection finally a reality for HTC/Sense

    This will probably mean absolutely nothing to most, but I for one have been waiting since the OG Evo for the ability to connect to a Wiimote via bluetooth. We can finally do it with the Evo LTE! This is the app I'm using...

    Help Missing/delayed calls (possible temp. network vision growing pains)

    I am not sure this is the same as the signal strength issue, because it seems my signal strength is pretty strong. I am straight up missing calls, I will get voicemails with no reported call misses. This is really bad, the #1 thing that a phone needs to do can not be unreliable. I'm not sure...

    Help 2.3.3: Browser dumping tabs

    I'm not sure if this is caused by the update itself or perhaps some state that was caused by the new ROM, but my browser tends to apparently re-start itself relatively often, maybe after only a few minutes of the browser going to the background. This causes all the tabs other than the current...

    Help About the Epic task killer ...?

    ... exactly what is it? Is it like task killer apps such as ATK that people recommend against for Android phones? It sure looks like it. I ask because the Epic in my household is pretty unstable and I'm wondering the the default task killing is possibly contributing. Is there a way to shut it off?

    Help Plenty of 3G bars ... but no data!

    Had a bit of an issue with our Epic. For a while tonight, 3G data seemed to have conked out. There were plenty of bars, and 4G and WiFi worked fine. But for some reason 3G data registered "no connection" whenever called by an app. After about 30 minutes it cleared up (not sure if...

    FFC distortion?

    Anyone notice the Epic FFC (using Qik chat) distorts the image? It seems to compress laterally with the camera in a portrait direction.

    Accessories Is there a case like this?

    Looking for a flip-type case that operates a little differently from most, I would like a swiveling belt clip on the cover part of the flip, as well as the fastener. So when the case was on the belt, you could flip it open and it would open into a usable position, with the phone facing you. It...

    Video recording "glitching"

    I notice when I record video (I believe it happens in all resolutions), after some time I will get "hitches" in the final video. These are on the file and not a playback issue. I suspect it has to do with the transfer to SD, as they only happen after a little while, then the buffer probably...

    Crazy oversharpened photos?

    I'm getting some very odd behavior from the camera of my SO's Hero, this is a 200 iso image. Reduced version below plus a 100% crop. It seems to exhibit massive oversharpening or almost like some filter applied. As far as I can tell there are no such things being applied. Anyone see this before?

    Help Evo issues (excessive data, bad battery, random reboots) magic bullet? Facebook sync

    In tracking and experiencing some of the strange Evo issues of excessive data use, intermittent short battery life and spontaneous reboots, a common culprit has become the leading suspect: Facebook for HTC Sense, particularly its contact/people syncing capability. It appears to get stuck...

    Photgraphers, let's talk about the camera

    Let's talk a little bit about some hobbyist-photographer level (or higher?) stuff regarding the Evo camera. The hardware is plenty capable of creating excellent images; as photographers know, good images can come from the crappiest hardware. Things I've noticed: 1. The basic focal length of...
