Our friend AJ sent this to me today as I had been asking him about SVDO as some had mentioned it would only work after NV was deployed and over 1x advanced...   here is what he said:

Like this evolte droid someone did over at android forums. Just wanted to give credit where credit is due in case you can't read it in the watermark. But this was done by novox77. I think it would be

Tell them that LTE stands for "limited edition" and that they better hurry up and get theirs before LTE is sold out.     AJ

I guess I can update without fear of screwing something up.

To be clear, the Sprint Zone dashboard shows a "Update Now" message for the device software; but when I tap on it, I'm told that my phone is up to date.

Not sure what software you are asking about. Phone software is 4.13.651.3   Sprint Zone is 4.6.34 (just updated today). No idea what JSS15Q is.

 

JSS15Q is an update for the Nexus 7 tablet from August 2013. Any mentions of it on another device must be a glitch with Sprint Zone.

Well, that would explain why I've not seen a number like that on my EVO before...

 

Hey! Aren't you supposed to be working on Signal Check?

 

j/k  :)

I've installed 4.3 and having an issue.

I've got the clock/weather widget on my main homescreen.

While at work it updates (weather) at the specified intervals.

However at home connected to either WiFi or LTE it doesn't update.

I tap the weather side of the widget, even then it doesn't update on it's own.

After manually updating... even then after a couple of minutes, it's back to showing nothing on the widget again.

 

Is this a tower issue of some sort?

Swype has stopped working on my phone. It is in a constant state of restarting. No keyboard for any application, so I can't send text messages or anything. Restarting my phone didn't help.

 

Any ideas?

You should be able to switch to the HTC keyboard by going to settings, language and keyboard, and turning swipe off. That will at least temporarily let you type.

 

Have you tired clearing your Swype data? Go to settings, apps, all, click on Swype, and click on clear data. You might also want to click on the uninstall updates button, if it's available.

Anyone know a way to turn off the shutter sound for the camera and screen shot sound? It still makes the sound even on vibrate.

What software version are you running? Are you rooted?

Try to see if this will work, enforced stream silencer. No root necessary.

I've used it on my EVO 4G, Photon 4G. It may work with the EVO 4G LTE.

 

 

Instructions,..

1-download the apk from Google (above) onto your phone (remember which folder you downloaded it to)

2-Enable "Unknown Sources in Applications Settings".

3-Browse to the file with your devices file manager. (or swipe down the notification bar and click on the download)

4-Open the app and check the "checkbox".

 

You can then test the stock Camera app and you shouldn't have the shutter sound anymore.

No dice.  Can't change settings, turn off Swype or anything with it constantly trying to reload.  I couldn't clear data either with it in that cycle.  In the end, I had to do a hard reboot and start over from scratch.

Has anybody done a screen replacement on this phone?

Yes, it's not horrible but replace the digitizer and lcd as a pre-assembled assembly. You will never separate them without breaking it. There are also a couple YouTube videos that show how it comes apart.

Hi skid71,

 

I've been gone for a week on vacation, followed by being buried by all the work that didn't get done while I was gone, so I don't know if you've solved your problem or not.

 

If not, it sounds less like a tower issue and more of a synch issue or possibly a location issue. There are two places to check your settings: Tap the weather icon > touch the three dots > touch Settings. I have "Update when opened", Scheduled synch" and "Auto detect my location" selected (with my update schedule set to every three hours).

 

The second place is Settings >Accounts & synch > Weather. I have "Update when opened" and "Weather" selected, with the update schedule again set for every three hours. These settings work fine for me.

 

Something else that may help is to clear your cache partition if you didn't do so when you updated to 4.3. Many times odd or intermittent faults can be cleared up by doing this. You can clear your cache (does not wipe any data on the phone) by doing the following (to be safe, be sure you have a pretty full battery charge):

 

1)  Go to you Power settings and make sure Fast Boot is not selected.

2) Power your phone off. Wait a minute or so after the screen turns off to make sure the phone is completely off.

3) Hold the Volume Down button, and press the power button while continuing to hold Volume Down.

4) Let your phone do its thing; eventually you will end up at the HBOOT menu. Navigate to "Recovery" using the volume up/down    buttons, and select it (Recovery) with the power button.

5) Your phone will appear to restart and  eventually show a red triangle with an exclamation point on a picture of a black phone. When you see this, hold down the Volume Up button and press the power button while continuing to hold Volume Up.

6) Again, let your phone do its thing until it ends up at another menu. Navigate to "wipe cache partition" using the volume buttons and select it using the power button.

7) When the wipe is complete, navigate to the "Reboot Phone" option and select it with the power button.

 

Clearing the cache partition after an update seems to help with a lot of seemingly unrelated software glitches. I apologize if I seem to be hand-holding a little much here, but I don't know how familiar you are with these things and it's safer to assume very little knowledge than go the other way :) .

Along with the weather issue I described on the previous page, yes, I was having voicemail issues as well.

 

The weather issue was fixed by re-provisioning data on the Evo. Sorry, I can't remember the exact steps I took.

It involved using ##72786#.

 

To fix the voicemail issue I had to use ##3282#, change the data value to "1" instead of "0", then commit those changes.

 

Everything data has been working flawlessly since.

Keep in mind that I did not run the RUU.

For those of you who are not aware, the official Android 4.3 update for the EVO LTE is now in its fourth revision (4.13.651.4), the latest of which apparently includes fixes for data roaming and installing the RUU from Windows 8. Installing this will wipe your device, even if you are already running one of the earlier 4.3 versions from HTC, so ensure that you have backed up whatever you want to save.

 

Option A: If you want to do it the easy way, download the RUU and run it from your Windows-based computer; it will wipe out your phone (it should leave your SD card alone, but remove it if you want to be safe) and provide the latest factory fresh stock HTC version on your device. The link to download it is in an XDA post here; be sure to thank that poster for sharing his efforts.

 

Option B: If you are already S-OFF and want to run a rooted version by flashing a custom recovery and then the ROM, follow the instructions in the XDA thread here. If all of that seems confusing to you, Option A is probably a better idea for you. Captain_Throwback is a huge asset to the EVO community for those who are not aware, so be sure to thank him as well.

 

Either method you choose will take about 20 minutes, and the first boot will take awhile, so be patient. The two threads I linked to have all the technical information and answers that you might need; if you have a question, chances are somebody has already asked and answered it over there. I only wanted to post a note here for the S4GRU folks who might not be aware there are updates available.

 

HTC has not ruled out further revisions, but they have been clear that any updates will require procedures like this; there will be no OTAs. I just appreciate the fact that they are making an effort to upgrade a device that has been out for nearly 2 years.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
