Based on an announcement on the Sprint Community Blog (LINK: http://community.sprint.com/baw/community/sprintblogs/buzz-by-sprint/announcements/blog/2010/07/29/sprint-is-the-first-wireless-carrier-to-bring-android-22-to-customers-using-the-award-winning-htc-evo-4g-beginning-tuesday-aug-3), the EVO will be getting its froyo update in the next couple of days. As of now the announcement says that the froyo (2.2) update for Android will be available as of 12p (CST) tomorrow 7/30 for download if you want to manually update the phone yourself (This is a nice touch on Sprints part for those who just don’t want to wait) and as of Aug. 3rd Sprint will begin (OTA) over the air updates to the EVO Devices.

Here is a quick note about the Qik video chat program that comes on the HTC EVO 4G by default. IT NEEDS AN UPGRADE. The version that comes with the phone does not work with the 2 camera set up that the EVO uses. The front facing camera will not work with the system. If you have an EVO and plan to do video calls, you will need to run this update 1st. To get the update, go to the Android market place and search for Qik. Then on the list that you get, look for the version that specifically says that its for the “EVO 4G”. Once you see it. select it for download and run the install. That is all there is to correcting this issue.

Once of the big questions with the NEW Sprint EVO 4G involves the battery performance. I have had a couple of people tell me that they can get 7 or 8 hours of good use out of the battery, while others have said that its been less than 1 hour of good use before needing to recharge again. I have only had my phone for 1 day**, and so far I got 12 really good hours of use, but I went in and turned off everything I wasn’t using when I 1st got the phone. The following information from Sprint (LINK: http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Improve_battery_performance_on_your_HTC_EVO_4G/case-wh164052-20100601-130442?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIA) is what I used as a guide to what to turn off.

I’ve recently started receiving TEXT spam. If you think that its annoying when you get spam in your email, wait until you start seeing it in TEXT message form. For me its Text messages concerning the “Warranty on my car is about to expire”, supposedly if I respond to the TEXT I will get information about how to extend the warranty on my car. (On a funny side note: My car is 14 yrs old and has been out of warranty since the turn of the century)

I finally have a replacement phone (That isn’t reported lost/stolen) and I have been able to get everything set up on the new phone. I have returned both the original phone and the 1st replacement phone (The “lost/stolen” one), let see if they process them properly or if i get a notice saying I haven’t returned them. I’m not holding my breath.
