You missed the boat. You don't have it and Sprint pulled it already. Should be back up soon.

Look for the Software number, BTW. The updated version is 1.47.651.1. My baseband version reads 2.05.00.06.10 (upgraded).

I would imagine that the "newer" update (to fix the problems created by the old update) will have a slightly higher version number.

(And I can just see the thread now: 1.47.652.1 has better battery life, faster screen response, etc. than 1.47.651.1, and is a completely different phone!)

Thanks mate. I guess I would rather wait for a proper update, then risk bricking my phone. :)
 
you know its really a shame....how many times has HTC now screwed over Evo users?

first micro SD card issues arise
next wifi issues are reported
next poor battery life is reported ( is manageable using power saving settings)
next screens begin to separate from the phone
next gounding issue regarding screen
Next it is reported that HTC switched screens and now shipping with crappier screens
now OTA update Bricks perfectly stocked EVOs ( mine included :( )

what is this company coming to?

PS...Still i love my Evo...best piece of technology since toothbrush:D

Sprint Pulls HTC Evo 4G Update (Phone Scoop)

HTC and Sprint have stopped distributing the OTA Evo 4G update after a handful of customers complained of "having some issues." Updates will resume shortly after the carrier investigates.

Its nice how they decided to pull it hours after getting numerous complaints about the update bricking devices...as one user mentioned they contacted customer support at around 10am this morning at which the rep told him "it was a known issue"... If you know your OTA might brick some users why keep it out there a bit longer?
 
I noticed a bunch of new Android and phone pix have been placed into my Photobucket album that weren't there before. Can't figure out where they came from and if I delete them, they reappear so they must be on my phone.
 
Sorry for those who had issues today. Didn't try to do the update until an hour ago and then thought, hmm no updates available?, they must have pulled it. Sure enough, that's what happened. Guess it's for the better for those of use who didn't update yet or were worried about bricking the phone.

I just wish they would have made sure the steps to do this update were foolproof for all of us from the get go. Oh well.
 
The update itself doesn't brick the phone (yeah, I know 1 or 2 are claiming it did, but I don't buy those guys story). Apparently, there is something screwed with the upgrade process where the upgrade manager doesn't know you've upgraded. If you upgrade and then get a message telling you and upgrade is available...then you accept that and upgrade the same patch again...it bricks your phone.

If you get the upgrade without somehow upgrading a second time....the upgrade is delicious. Fixes several annoying things...wifi and touchscreen grounding.

So, when it becomes available again, you should upgrade...unless your rooted your phone.
 
Am I going nuts or did the update change when the battery will turn yellow? It use to be 30%... but tonight, after the update, it didn't change until 20%.

Shut your phone down and start it up again..then give it a full charge. After that, then make your judgements about the effect of the update on the battery.
 
My update went fine other than needing to delete and re-add my widgets. My problem is since the update I'm unable to pass traffic on WiFi. I can associate with the AP, authenticate, get an IP address via DHCP but no traffic passes through the network. I've deleted and recreated the credentials for the wireless network (WPA2-PSK) but that didn't help. Anybody else seeing this?
 
Jason from long island ny. didn't get the update at all today. Called sprint when I got home and they had no clue as to what I was talking about.

I think they were just wondering if the meter now turned yellow at 20% rather than at 30%. Not asking if battery life seemed worse... They were just asking about something cosmetic. I think it has always turned yellow at 20% however
 
Got it with no issues on my new phone today.
After I returned my old one cause the screen separation was getting bad. Just my luck I got the Last Evo too.

Btw I think they fixed light leakage on the newer stocks.

Non on my phone :)

Update. When I set my AP to 'g' only, then the Evo connects and passes traffic. When the AP's radio is set to mixed mode which allows connections for 'b, g and n' clients, using the 2.4 GHz radio, traffic from the Evo does not pass.

Mine works fine. Must be your router.
 
Stock Evo 4G. The phone notified me of the update, I plugged it in to power and let the update run. No issues sofar, but we will see. :rolleyes:
 
What I dont understand is how my wife recieved an update on her evo and I did not get mine in Minneapolis area. We both have version 2 hardware. I noticed that I could update my PRL to 667, whatever that means, but that wasn't the update we are all talking about. My wife and I have had no problems with our release day evos, it has truly surpassed our hopes and expectations for a phone. Just doing little things like reading while on the john, I hink to myself, how did I live without one of theese for soo long! Hopefully this was more of a test update for froyo. I heard the nex1 got their froyo, can't be long for evo.
