HTC EVO 4G Will Launch With Storage Gremlin

During Google’s I\O Conference, they handed out around 5,000 EVO 4G’s to attendees. How does that benefit them? A whole lot of hardcore testing. Well low and behold, something popped up.

The lucky ones who got their hands on the EVO a few weeks early have been reporting issues with not being able to write data to the included 8GB microSD card. (Yes I know my image above shows 4GB, gimme a break) Apparently it’s an intermittent issue, but when it occurs it can cause hang ups, or even total crashes. Obviously this isn’t a good thing, but a simple reboot fixes the problem.

Not one to stand around and ignore the problem, HTC is aware of the problem and will be pushing out a software update to the phone as soon as a solution is available (which they expect to be very soon).

Hey, i read the article about the micro sd card problems on the EVO. The memory card ships with the phone unformatted. All you have to do to fix the problem is go into the sd card settings and format the card and it will fix the issues. HTC is aware of this and is releasing an over the air update tomorrow to fix it. I work at Radioshack and we have known about the problem for about a week now. Before we can sell the phone we are required to update the phone for our customers. We have had a live demo of the EVO for about a week now in our store. Its A great phone, however it only has a TFT screen and not an ammoled like the nexus one and the incredible. Sitting next to my nexus one, my screen blows the EVO’s screen away. Muahahahahah

They may be perfect Android users and love the OS, but like with other products, too many choices can and will be overwhelming. Too many choices is a bad thing. Having a choice or t […]

The smart phone market is still not mature yet, so your message is not quite correct. Eventually, there will only be a few manufacturers left standing. Personally, I won't buy anything besides Samsung or HTC, but Samsung is winning my loyalty. They make damn good devices. It's not a coincidence that apple is picking on Samsung in court. In add […]

Re: Google Loses Appeal Over Trial Period in Taiwan
I agree with you. Taiwanese could then complain to their authorities to get them to remove that huge pole out of Taiwan consumer law's ass. Being pressure by own people is far more effective than by corporate giant. […]
