So here's the latest response from HTC on the 30fps cap issue.
HTC Support Official Response fo 30fps (As designed!) - xda-developers
"Hi Tony, My name is Sara and I will be assisting you today. I understand that you have concerns about the EVO 4G with Sprint running 30 FPS. This is actually how the phone was designed to work. This was a decision made to enhance overall performance of the device, and also to enhance battery life. This may be further enhanced in a future update, but at this time I can neither confirm nor deny this. Thank you for interest in HTC products! I would like to take this opportunity to encourage you to take our Customer Service Satisfaction Survey. This lets my boss know how I’m doing, and also helps us improve your Customer Service experience. I look forward to hearing your feedback about our interaction!"
Now I can get over the build quality issues (which is ridiculous), but this whole lagging, FPS capping thing is literally pissing me off.
Here's another problem.
And..now onto the Android OS itself.
Now I can accept Google's limitations here as the OS is new and they are striving for 60fps, but HTC is artificially limiting their EVOs by choice.
The EVO has a snapdragon! It shouldn't get less FPS than a Hero. I'm seriously going to chuck my EVO into a river. I think people should be more upset about this. The iPhone came out in frickin 2007! Why can't HTC make a better phone?
Shame on you HTC! Shame on you for releasing a hot phone on one of the best networks, then crippling it. It could of been a match made in heaven, but yet again customers are still left waiting.
I vow to never buy another HTC device again.
