A root patch for volume is probably needed. I've started asking some of the devs at XDA about it, I'll post back when I hear something.

Thanks. I was thinking of avoiding rooting my phone this time but maybe it's going to be necessary.
Whenever I make a call the screen automatically shuts off. If I want to use speaker phone I have to hit power button to wake it up then hit the speaker phone button. Plus, if I'm trying to call a number that's busy and I'm trying again (think radio contest) without even putting the phone near my head it shuts off. If I'm making a regular call and then pull the phone away from head to hang up I still have to hit the power button to bring the phone awake! Has something drastically changed? All of my old HTC Android phones (Hero, Original EVO) would do this just fine.
Another problem I recently ran into was an errors stating I was almost out of memory. I believe it came from Tasker because it said if the phone is too low on memory Tasker could start behaving badly (paraphrasing of course). This has only happened one time and I when I look at memory usage it showed over 200mb available. What does Tasker need to run?
I don't think so, but I've become self opposed to the Galaxy S 3 based upon its blind overpopularity. I don't want to see the open and choice filled Android device market slimmed even more by the unthinking majority of one device or one manufacturer. The grass is not always greener.Should I have stuck with the GS3?!?!?!
This sounds like a simple proximity sensor issue. Do you have a screen protector installed on the glass? Its a simple problem with a simple fix. Check out this thread for some more information on this:
AndroidForums.com | HTC Evo 4G LTE - Proximity sensor not working
AndroidForums.com | HTC Evo 4G LTE - Slight red light?
If you plan to root you should not have issues.
I've found that keeping my stock setup very lean&mean and not worrying about memory is the best fix for me.

But by all means, do what is the best for your personal situation. My opinion is obviously swayed, but the Evo 4G LTE is a stellar phone even with its few qualms.
Now, is there an app that will replicate what Samsung did with NFC and WiFi direct? The search is on.
There are a few good roms that fix the multitasking/memory-management issues with the LTEvo, without removing bloat, but that's desirable as well.
Probably best to discuss in the root forum.
What did samsungs do? You dont need an app to use NFC or WiFi direct as far as I know
THANKS!
I started wondering if it might be the Zagg. Got my phone and Zagg free at BB and they installed it. I see the notch seems to be about half way over the proximity sensor. I'll try getting that fixed by tomorrow and see what happens.
So you rooted then just removed some of the bloatware from Sprint?
I'm kind of the same way and I definitely had my qualms about the S3 which is why I gave it to my son and used his upgrade for the EVO. He loves the S3 but then again, he had an original Galaxy so he likes the way Samsung(Touchwiz) works. Not to say that I didn't like some things that it did. I guess there's no perfect phone for me but hey, at least I still have an FM radio!

I will be investigating those forums soon. For the most part, if I rooted, I'd only be concerned with WiFi tethering and removing bloatware.
Is there a way to change the sms bubble style to lines in the stock sms on Evo LTE?
It won't bring up menu on the stock launcher, but it works for all applications.
Exact issue I'm having thanks glad to know I'm not alone
