It explains it all nicely if you click the link. Short story is it shows contact pics from facebook in other apps besides the people app.

A bit sketchy about installing this right now.
Will wait for more details and/or another solution.

Honestly, this app is perfectly safe. Zero risk.

Perfectly safe, until Google/HTC becomes better friends with Facebook, I recommend using this for all your third party messaging apps.

No one needs to worry about the safey of this app. If you don't trust it, you don't trust the standard SuperUser app everyone uses. The developer is ChainsDD.

I installed it last week and works like a charm.

Excellent! This has been frustrating me for weeks!
Works amazing!

It keeps saying the “contacts database seems to be busy” any help? I am rooted. Is there a certain spot I suppose to install this, SDcard2 or SDcard?

I have got that too but keep hitting check/recheck and eventually it works

Will this work if you're running CM9 or AOKP?

Go to manage applications and force close your contacts storage, then try again. Worked for me.

I just kept hitting the "check" button and I finally got a SU request. After the SU request, it worked perfectly. This app worked super fast too.

New OTA soon

Within the next couple days we should get an update, primarily for the green tint a lot of us have ffrom the camera.
If you don't get it within a few days I'd check out the HTC site for it.

Lol dude I know. But it tweaks some other minor issued too. Idk what they include though.
But don't get me wrong, this phone is my favorite by far. And I've had the epic, OG EVO, and the shift. And this kills all those. Dead.

I know it might be too late for this OTA, but I wonder if it closes the exploit to obtain temp root.
Just wondering How and where did you happen to get this info from?
Yeah where's your source.
I still wont touch any updates, im not loosing any chances for full root and unlocked. Ill deal with it, im sure it'll be baked into a custom ROM when theyr'e available.

Cerberus Security App

I just wanted to let everyone know that this excellent security app is offering FREE life time memberships (licenses basically) until February 29th to mark having a hundred thousand users. To get it, just install the apk, create an account, than go here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFR4VHNka3czd2FJV2FIaXFYTHp0aGc6MQ
The best thing about Cerberus is it's root permissions to do things like force GPS on if it's off, take pictures if people try and access your phone and email the picture to you, and of course send it's location to you along with standard wipe my phone functionality. Definitely worth checking out. You can find it in ROM Manager or on the Market. If you get it from ROM Manager it will install the apk into your system apps so that it survives factory resets and will still provide all of it's functionality.
Oh and I'm sourcing the find to Android Police.

FB Notifications

Is anyone else having problems receiving their Facebook notifications on the EvoLte? I wonder if it's the aggressive task manager that's messing with it.

No.
The Facebook app just sucks. It always has.
Never liked the FB app much, I turned off notifications, but didn't seem to get any for the first three days when it was set to refresh every so hours.
The only reason why I asked is because I didn't have any issues on my OG evo and my wife's 3d notifications work ok as well.

Is Google Wallet completely broken????

i havent been able to get it fully set up since I got this damn phone...first it was stuck on activating account...now its sayind my device isnt supported..wtf!! any help???
I am pretty sure what I have read they are trying to get something fixed before they activate it for our phone which is a bummer.
Yes it is. They claim to be working on a fix for it but it has taken them how long so far? I personally think they have just given up on our phone.
There are fixes, but I have still not been able to use it. At McDonalds last night it was stuck on Authorizing Transactions and today at walgreens it would never open the wallet app when I touched it to the terminal.
Works fine for me.
I called and they told me that it was a problem that they are working on but no ETA on the fix... Also it tells me that rooted devices are not supported which I think is BS

they have been "fixing" it for weeks now and they just seem to break it even more.. im real pissed and want my gd $60 they owe..

Not BS, a rooted device could pose a threat to the secure element of the NFC chip and could potentially exploit card data from it. Remember modders are not majority users, and storing credit card info is a big risk for Google to take.
Now it'll still work with root, but you are taking a risk that something could potentially go wrong.

I thought the same thing until I noticed that everywhere I shop except the grocery store has NFC compatible credit card machines, so google wallet would come on very handy if it ever worked. I find myself forgetting my wallet at home more than my phone, so for me this would be a great tool.

It comes up where the "your device is not supported for your carrier/country" is. At least mine did.
I actually had to install the gw update before it said secure element not responding.
If I were u and had a perfectly functioning phone I would not root it until the gw is up again. Live to flash roms on my og EVO, but this phone is so awesome without it for now I'm happy w it.
I'm sure people will flash away and heed no warnings. Just be careful out there my androodles!

And it'll be the Evo LTE or the SGSIII.
I have handled both and like the Evo more. (rocking a Photon currently)
My one question: is there a RELIABLE AND BUG FREE workaround yet for the botched multi-tasking??
If not, I think that will ruin my experience.

Nope, even with everything I've tried it is still crwp when compared to other phones I've owned, specially stock android 4.1.

I tried multiple roms and so far it seems there is no fix.
For example I was on the web browser. Backed out with the home key to go to home screen. I then went to settings to change my display settings went back to browser and the whole page had to reload and refresh.
My GS2 and Galaxy Nexus was better then this phone in the performance department.
Not to mention after you start installing apps and setting up your home screens the phone just gets slower and slower and less snappy.

Bad enough that my lte is sitting in a drawer as I use an alpha cm9 build on my evo 3d. Multitasking, background downloads stopping, and overall sluggishness compared to stock drove me away.

Nope. Just this phone. I returned this phone due to crappy gps, lag and horrible multi tasking. Having to keep my screen on to download something was unacceptable. I'm on a s3 now and xda app was still on the last Page I viewed yesterday evening and I've played a few games and run a few other apps. Gps is best I've ever experienced on a phone.
