Ok, so I got some time to do my factory reset.
Saved all my pics and shnit from the sd card to my pc. Then formatted the sd, just to be safe.
Did my factory reset. Resynced with google. Added my pics and shnit back to the sd. redownloaded all my apps one by one, excluding some i never used.
The good:
- The old evo is running faster than ever. It scrolls and slides screans much faster and smoother.
- The battery is lasting around 4 or 5 hours more with the same sort of use as normal.
- Seems like less apps running all the time in running apps. more ram available.
- I only left out about ten apps, none being that large and most being movable to the sd. Now with everything installed and going it has about 250mb of internal storage left rather than 70 to 80mb. hmm??
- It start up faster from power on then it ever did. went from 3 to 4 mins to 1.5 to 2. This is not using the fast boot either, thats like 45 seconds.
- everything just seems to load faster and smoother.
The bad:
- still getting no icon in folders on the apps that are on my sd card as before the factory reset. (they are the generic android icon) switching to a different scene then back fixes them.
- A few apps I really like(juice defender, tubemate, mp3music download, music wizard) are now not compatible and don't show in the market. On the web market it shows them but says they are incompatible.
- the gps notification still acts up.
Other than that, the EVO is working great! These are minor annoyances compared to the benefits so far. Hope they fix these issues soon so it can be working Awesome.
