Simple question. Probably getting the EVO LTE , but I've heard there are some problems with WiFi or connectivity . I've found some threads confirming that the problems exist.
What are the odds Ill be getting a bad phone? Are these problems just on a few phones or all?
Are those problems something a custom ROM will fix?
Obviously I don't want to get a bad phone. I prefer to wait 1 or 2 months , for a new batch of problem free phones. Then Ill get one, or try my luck.
Thnks everybody everything helps.
I had issues with wifi like a few others when I was unrooted but it was easy to fix and I haven't been having the problem in a while. Aside from that I'm very happy with the phone

rooting just fix the problem or did you install a new rom
??
I've had zero problems with wifi or data on stock or rooted
Roms,running mostly rejuvenated which is on v1.5 right now.
Others are reporting many issues I haven't had so maybe I am just lucky. Just adding my experience for you, its an awesome device in my opinion...
Ohhh and I've had mine since the pre orders were released from itc jail

Good to hear that
also Ive been reading the stock is pretty good, Ive always ran viper on my pasts evo 4g and evo 3d.
I've had no wifi or data issues at all. My camera app has frozen a couple of times, other than that no issues. And although I'll root eventually, I'm still completely stock and loving it.

the problem with wifi connectivity is compatibility with 4 different specific modems, couple of linksys and others, not that the phone is "bad" but sprint knows about it I talk to the tech at sprint store they told me they should have a fix soon..:good: running liquid smooth rom and life is great...
Not one problem so far. Rooted or not, I only rooted it, didn't unlock the bootloader or flashed anything.

I've definitely had problems with WiFi dropping out for no reason. I've had them both before root and after. The device will simply just drop the connection for no good reason.
The only reason I haven't returned the phone is I'm stubborn. I am going to do a nandroid back-up (already used TiBU) and return this device for a different one.
Because I have Best Buy protection, they should just swap it out for a different device. I've had mine since May 25th, the 2nd day of release.
I hope that helps--the rumor is there was a bad batch of EVO's and Sprint/HTC knows it. Fortunately we are not like the poor HOX (HTC One X) users where the only fix for their issue is a soldering iron...

All phones have problems, i wouldn't listen to any one person. Review opinions in this forum and see if the amount of problems are more or less than the competitors. There are a lot of good phones out there right now and not a one of them is a dog, contrary to what fanboys like to say. It also depends what you are coming from. If your current phone is less than a year old you may want to wait it out for a while. I'm not sure any of the choices now are light years ahead of last years group.
I haven't had any issues at all with the phone, except the crappy multitasking.
Oh and don't use the "best WiFi performance" option, it will drain your a lot (35% over 6 hours vs. 3%)
All new phones have bad eggs in a batch. It's the nature of the beast. I personally went through 3 Evo Lte's until I got a good one because of dead pixels. When I got my Evo 3D I got a good one right off the bat, while many others had problems. It doesn't matter what brand it is wether its HTC, Samsung, or even Apple they all have bad eggs.

It is true to a point, I but don't blame HTC I believe a lot of poor signal just simply has to do with sprints known ways of claiming they are top of notch, but truly they are behind in the game ITS THEY'RE SIGNAL THEY'RE TOWERS, there possible merge to lte may be why we see slow data poor signal
When lte goes full blown we who stuck with sprint will have unlimited 4G and those one atat and vzw will have the same 4G but data capped.
That's why it's been slow for years its a waiting game
So I'd start thinking along the lines it's not all HTC it's the networks signal

So, I got a Rezound last week, kind of hoped that it would still have GB on it, but found out it had that recent ICS build on there. I didn't think much of it until a couple days ago...
First, I think I know the answer already, but since I have this "leaked build", I'm guessing there's no going back to stock GB? What was upgraded besides the ROM (baseband, firmware, etc)?
Second, people are saying that when I talk, it starts out at normal volume, then sounds like I'm holding the phone about 2 feet in front of me while talking (in other words sounding very distant), and coming back... Now, the only person who has actually described the problem is my dad, who has a Thunderbolt. My wife has an Inc2, and has not mentioned any problems, however she may not know what to listen for, as well as others, etc... I've also tried disabling 4g and using 3g only. I am wondering if this is some kind of radio issue?
Third, the bluetooth doesn't seem to have a lot of range. I have a couple bluetooth devices I use often. The first one is a Panasonic KX-TG6581 cordless phone which utilizes bluetooth on the handset to be used as an extension to the cell phone. On previous phones I got whole house coverage (I live in a single level 3000sq ft home). On the Rezound it disconnects at the ends of the house... I also have a Turtle Beach headset equipped with bluetooth. It seems to work fine when initially calling or getting a call, but then there's there's this weird static (kind of sounds like old dial up negotiating tones?). I wonder if this is because of bluetooth 3.0, but not ruling out the headset and rf/bluetooth interference
Last, even running with the extended battery, unless I shut off mobile data altogether when at home (which I should probably be doing anyway, but coming from other 4g phones I never noticed until now), I can stare it for 5 min and watch the percentage dropping. On wifi, not too bad. Just worried if I'm in 4g all day with no wifi will the extended battery last, say 12 hrs? I have no problems keeping it on AC power when at home.
Hope I didn't sound too noobish LOL... thanks for any suggestions.

if you have leaked ics (3.11.605.22) on your phone, you won't be able to return to stock gb.
how about re-flashing the leaked ics to see if the radio, bluetooth, and battery issues can be fixed.
Did the phone come brand new with leaked ics or did you buy it used

When I got the phone, we did the sale inside a VZW store, the salesperson turned it on, and it was at the Welcome to Android screen... Thought it looked like ICS but wasn't 100% sure (should have double checked, I know)... even the rep didn't check... So, I'm guessing it was a fresh flash? Of course, not knowing exactly where it originally came from... don't know if that would make a difference?

Okay.. I'm a bit confused. Were there earlier leaks that would just let you install on a stock phone? I'm not rooted and saw that it was S-ON when I was in the bootloader?
Is the latest ICS the one that was released around 3/17? I just want to make sure I got the right one here...

Yeah there have been a few leaks. The older ones didn't run so well and didn't have the updated radios or hboot. The RUUs are supposed to be run on a locked phone. They are signed releases from HTC. Yes it was leaked around 3/17. I am on it as are many others and it runs fine.

Hey guys, I'm new here so let me know if Im messing up any board rules or customs!
I did a quick search but didn't hit on any exact results... I connect to my home or work WiFi without any drops (which is a whole other situation) but once I leave the range of the WiFi network my EVO doesn't realize and stays connected which means I won't get emails because there is no active connection... So far my only fix has been to turn my WiFi on and off again.. is anybody else seeing this?
It's not the end of the world just a minor nuisance! Im set to auto frequency, best performance and always keep WiFi on during sleep. I feel like that last one might be the issue but I don't want to go to 3G on standby!
Thanks

I have read about some other people having the same issue here. Wifi as a whole is very glitchy on this device right now and hopefully fixes will be part og hts's fist update.
I am experiencing the same issue. Would love to know how to resolve it.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I'm also experiencing this. It is slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker. I'm sure it'll be fixed soon enough.
Mine does this as well, but goes a step further. Once I leave the Wifi area I can toggle Wifi off to drop the connection and use 3G. However, when I go back to a wifi area, any network ive previously connected to states not in range. I can pick up new networks, but not existing networks. The only solution is to reboot the device.
Is something the HTC set for battery saving, what happens when you connected to wifi with any device is that it check every 60-90-180seconds (wherever the programmer set) so your phone won't check right away, but when it does it will disconnect, every phone has it but probably HTC put up a high number that way it saves more battery

This is starting to get quite frustrating. If I leave the house and need to use navigation or anything requiring data I have to toggle wifi off. Has anyone figured this out or is it potentially a hardware issue where I should seek a replacement?
I made a thread about returning my EVO for another one. I had the same issue. The second EVO is working perfect so far. Way better battery life with this one too.

I spoke with HTC yesterday and they were not aware of a widespread issue with this. When I get more time I will dig into it a bit more as I believe it can probably be fixed with mods to wpa_supplicant. In the meantime, I will be sending some logs to HTC as well.

It's definitely software-based, as it didn't happen with MaXimus 2.1 or CM10, but DOES happen with MaXimus 2.2 and the stock ROM. Oddly, it never happened with the stock ROM before now.

Turn off the automatic time zone under settings-->time and date. It stops the problem immediately. I had the same issue. No biggie now.
Turn off the roaming warning since I'm sure it doesn't deter you from placing your calls. Settings -->Mobile Network--> Roaming Guards. I did this as well because it irritated me.

Anybody else notice that when it roams and asks you to set the timezone, that the central timezone uses Central America time rather Central Daylight Time as an option? You can go into the time settings as mentioned by PsiPhiDan to set it correctly, but things will be messed up for half the year if you use the default menu popout selections. Not sure if this is an ICS or Sense thing.
Hardware version 3 here.
No problems other than time zone glitch in the matrix.

Don't know what it was but there must have been something specific that caused that. I had that time zone thing several times that one day but I haven't seen it since. Just as with just about everything, the software on this phone seems a bit buggy. I'm sure they'll get it ironed out soon. I could say that I wish they'd get all the bugs worked out before release but that would delay my precious.
Just returned from taking care of my bill at a corporate sprint store in Detroit Michigan area, and brought up concerns about issues since jb was released. Before I was able to tell my personal issues since the update the couple techs that were at the front door greeting/mingling with customers, told me they have been notified that a patch is being worked on for the Bluetooth, navigation, proximity sensor, wifi and various glitches others have been reporting. This was all said before I even mentioned those issues that myself and others on this forum have brought up. They've even been instructed to stop doing replacement handsets for people with the issues. So to me it sounds like the issues have been noticed/verified finally and HTC/sprint may be releasing something soon. Sounds legit considering the tech's themselves named off the issues and seemed to know a bit about the problems without me saying anything. Figured I'd pass on this tidbit of info and hopefully it becomes a reality.
Update 01/11 called HTC and they have a bulletin that's been sent out that proximity sensor was specifically being worked on (news for stock users at least)..the nav issue the guy said wasn't a for sure thing because it might be a google dropping the ball thing/capatability issue

So to me it sounds like the issues have been noticed/verified finally and HTC/sprint may be releasing something soon. Sounds legit considering the tech's themselves named off the issues and seemed to know a bit about the problems without me saying anything. Figured I'd pass on this tidbit of info and hopefully it becomes a reality.

I would guess for the new year. Htc always does a delta patch a few weeks later

Hopefully this is true. Only issue I'm having is the proximity sensor, so I've been pretty lucky but another update would be nice.

Out of curiousity, I know I started another thread on the following topic, but did you just recently get your phone? Like maybe in the last 3 months or so? Trying to find a pattern to the issues and handset batch.

I have to flash back to an ics rom then back to jelly bean while wiping as little as possible just to get mhl-hdmi adapter to work. And sometimes at that. Most of the time I have to reset the phone 3 times, unplug, plug in cable to phone. It just blows balls! I am about to just go back to ics and stay there. Jelly bean or at least this iteration of it sucks. Not to mention the worse battery life? Why are we excited about jb anyway? It looks good and sounds nice, but it is just like its abbreviation (jb) jailbait!
Does anyone else agree with me or are you all on the google strain of bud? Here's my list of issues over ics: Battery hog! Mhl-hdmi previously mentioned, New usb connection manager screwed my car audio. Have to update busybox everytime I reset just so root explorer displays remaining space in sd card.
I will quit my rant now though I guess. No one at sprint or htc or most the people here even give a rats **** about these issues because i obviously must be a noob who cant wipe and flash a rom properly or my phone has issues so I must be retarded or something. Tired of those attitudes on xda. But thats another topic. Good day to u all!
I updated to JB and I don't have any of the issues you are talking about. After hearing some of your experiences I think I will wait until a patch comes out to update my wife's phone.
I like JB on this phone. Google now is a welcome feature. Initially I experienced shorter battery life, but after adjusting the settings in Google Now I would say my battery life went back to normal or possibly even better than before.
The one thing I don't like about JB is the in scrolling background, but all the pluses more than make up for it.

@ antonicia
I just tried mhl/hdmi output for the first time since upgrading and it worked after 1 reboot for the phone and tv.
I'm running choclate beans from the mikmik and am using the most popular cable on Amazon for $9

What settings in Google Now did you adjust to get better battery performance?

Dude. Nice avatar! KZ FTW!
Google Now doesn't seem to drain my battery at all. I'm wondering if the people that it's draining are in weak signal areas?

I turned off any cards that would frequently update.
Ex. Traffic, weather and nearby places
I can't say for sure that these consume extra battery, but ever since adjusting the settings my battery has been performing well.
It's currently at 50% after 12h 36m off the charger with medium use.
I wish they would just fix this dam Proximity Sensor. I hate my calls hanging up when it touches my face and how it wont show the screen when I wish to hang up.
The CM10 proximity fix woked for me.
[MOD] [CM10] Proximity Sensor Fix
I tested using Proximity Sensor Finder before and after. Before nothing happened, after it went from 9 to 0 when covered.
I've seen all those issues the MeanBean Thread.
All 4.1 JB Devices Broke Bluetooth Voice Dial. As far I know only 4.2 fixes it.
I'd be really impressed if Sprint released 4.2 let alone any update.
I posted a [MOD] in the development section to get Cyberon to be the Default when you click the bluetooth button and it works great, better than it ever has and no longer relies on the Network. And I'm nolonger forced to keep my contacts in gmail. I prefer keep them only in my work's ExchangeMail account.
Nav has worked for me so far but I have not used it too heavily.
As far as Bluetooth Reliability during a Call JB is MUCH better. ICS would drop bluetooth headset as I passed WIFI HotSpots.
WIFI has been an issue on this device since day 1. JB release doesn't seem much better or worse, but it does seem different, but usable for me. I've had it get stuck once and would not let go of WIFI as I drove away, which jams the whole phone up until you shut WIFI off.
The Proximity Sensor seems to be a calibration issue. My guess is the OTA update might have accindentally wiped each devices calibration or something. You can recalibrate it. The default cal works for people. I have not had the issue or it's not a big enough issue for me to care.
Well I can verify after getting a couple refurbs because of the jb updates/roms having nav crashes (first refurb to replace my new launch date phone being a launch date activated one with nav crashes and faulty strip in touchscreen), I finally have one that the navigation works flawlessly on so far with several jb Roms I tried....the refurb date on this phone was in December with no usage/data etc....and I was the first to activate the phone (maybe damaged casing on phone etc and never was sold)...so the pattern of newer built elte's seems to be a pattern...at least for me...it was a battle to get a working phone but paid off in the end...

I have been thinking that radio performance after the latest kitkat update does not seem to be as good as the previous version.
i seem to notice that the phone takes little longer to switch to 4G/LTE signal compared to the previous version. I have not tested if the phone has problems maintaining the 4G signal, does anyone else notice this or any other sort of radio issues?
About a month ago i was sitting with my friend with his original HTC one and noticed the same behavior and i think that has now replicated to the MAX too
its annoying to find the signal stuck at 3G and the internet speeds are terribly low in 3G when compared to 4G.
anyone ...
I'm on Verizon in the US so I don't have 4.4 KitKat yet, but what you are describing sounds a lot like what I've been experiencing for a couple months. I was hoping that the KitKat update for Verizon would contain newer radios that performed better, but it's interesting that you're also having radio issues with the One max.
Could dropping the phone result in this sort of behavior? That's all I can really think of, as most other users don't seem to have too much trouble with the radios on this device.
phone is just as awesome as it was before the update.
sprint user stock non rooted.

On sprint myself. My radios have improved I've tested several close to dead spots and data is more consistent.

That's good to hear. It makes me hopeful for the Verizon OTA, if they ever decide to let us have it.
