Okay, Where did my Netflix App Go?
Upgraded to 2.3 on my EVO, Netflix wouldn't launch after that, so I uninstalled with intent to reinstall and when o went to the market it was not there! Very Upset About This... Now what will I do at work?
Maybe work?
Are you getting the white screen or no app at all?
If i remember right, the Netflix app works on android 2.2, not 2.3. Just need to wait for Netflix to update the app and resubmit to the market. Again, I could be wrong, thats just what i think i remember.
Sprint 4g Sucks
Evo 4G (that's a joke)
I've got two of these phones. Basically like them, but give me a break on the 4G. It is totally retarded. I shuffel between two covered cities and travel to others. When I click on the 4g antenna the antenna comes on, but the phone rarely switches to 4g and if it does it is brief and never operates in 4g. If I do any data I lose what tiny amount of apparent 4g I get. This method of communication is less reliable than carrier pigeon. Don't buy it for Sprints 4g service. It is shockingly disappointing.

you try and put a multi billion dollar project in a short time! why do you think its done gradually. Rome wasn't built in 7 days ya know. 4G is still in its baby stage, don't expect any real coverage till 2013-14 if not later.
...
It's the 2.5GHz frequency that is the problem and cost a $hit load to provide sufficient coverage using it. More towers = More $$$ which Sprint doesn't have. So don't look for any improvements anytime soon.
If you want REAL 4G go to Verizon Wireles...

Eugene Oregon right here. Constant 3-5mbps with my tether. Sorry your having such issue. There is tweeks to get the signal better in the phone and it will hold a connection better. I am right outside of the 4G cusp but get 2-3 bars constantly inside a...

Well in Austin, TX. 4g on my EVo works great. By the way, Sprint never said the extra fee ($10) was for 4g. Some of the reps did but they were not supposed to..Now all smart phones require the premium data fee..
OK, so even though I don't get why you get shoddy service I'm still trying to figure out why you are trolling this article with something that is off topic. I get good 4G service on my EVO and most of my friends do to. But considering this is an artic...
