Evo 3D Early Adopters Facing Bugs With New OTA Update
That’s right. Some lucky Sprint Premier members were able to get their hands on some early units of the Evo 3D as part of a “Flirt to Buy” occasion. But as so often is the case with early adoption (I prefer the term beta testers), it’s not all rainbows and sunshine. A 25MB OTA update was pushed out (even before the phone’s official release) to fix a calendar bug several users were reporting. The bootloader was also updated (still locked) to allow users to connect to their phone via ADB.
But where one issue seems to be patched up, a new one has taken its place. Now, users are reporting that after applying the 1.13.651.7 update, the icon for the Dialer app is strangely missing from the new Sense 3.0 lockscreen. Also strange is that the icon is even missing from inside the app drawer as well. I mean, technically the app is still actually there and you could always press the “Phone” button on the homescreen but not having one on that fancy new lockscreen is a bit of a disappointment. A factory reset has actually fixed the issue for some but not everyone.
It’s the case of the missing Dialer app and I’m sure HTC is already hot on the case cooking up yet another update before the launch of one of their biggest phones this year. As always is the case when a new phone is launched, things can be a little buggy. Lets hope HTC can get everything patched up in time.
Thanks, EarlyMon!
