Evo users,

Have u tried Sprint Hotspot on Evo and want to know if that's extra charge on top of Sprint deaf Data plan. Just curious. I would use it if its included the plan but it did not say about Sprint Hotspot in data plan.

If you use rooted Android so you can download WiFi tethering apps.
 
My understanding is that even with Android 2.2, it'll be up to the phone company to allow it for free or not. The only phone that does it for free right now is the Nexus One and that's sold out, never to be sold again.

The battery was low while I downloaded Froyo (battery status was already orange) and I plugged it in. I use WiFi so it downloads faster. After it was done. I clicked to install, it says "battery is too low to install, install later or cancel).

I decide to take my daughter out to store and leaving Evo at home charging. When I got back. it was half charged and finally let me install Froyo.

That's what happenening.

Now I am on Froyo. I am seeing several new addition in apps list. Flashlight, Places, News and Weather (I don't remmy if it was there before).. Flashlight apps is soo neat, much better than 3rd party "Led Light". Planned to delete it soon.

I couldn't find tethering. I will look into Youtube tho.

Hey I have problem with camera after froyo update. I read that froyo had issue with some phone camera. When I tap to run camera, it open/close that's it, won't run. So does the video camera too.

Anyone have fix??

Did you remove, then reinstall battery into it?

No. I didnt. But somehow my camera finally worked on its own. I did ran several updates in setting menu. After I turned off the phone then turned on. Message popped up after I unlocked the phone screen saying update will be installed. I believe that I uninstalled Movicha, Camera fx, Fring which I dont use fixed the problem. Things went well when I played with camera and videocamera. Whew!!

Froyo look better on text message, browser while typing and many more. Much better!!

Also in setting menu, Applications--Manage Application loads up much much faster. I am able to delete some quickly.

What a relief :lol:

I couldnt find Flash Player 10.1 beta in Android market that I want to install. But browser showed down arrow that is a flashplayer button to run. Did work good and video ran smooth. Nice. I tried hulu.com but nearly ran movie. Shoot. But there are hack to enable it to fool hulu its a desktop pc. I read that just type code in browser url and configure it as desktop instead mobile. Not from browser's set up menu.

catty, htc evo's setting see wireless/network look down to last see usb tethering also connect to pc - see default connection type click- see usb tethering or other....

try ask hulu.com.. support ask question about video flash player?
