"My droid is great 60fps and your evo 4G sucks"
"I'm sure they will fix this because I just think it will be"

"It won't matter, my EVO 4G has 4.3" LCD with 65,000 colors only. And 30fps is more than enough""

I love 'em too! Reminds me of the many times that the older iPhones were found to be flawed in some way. lol

You find em on both sides. Eh, what can you do?

Good news is, it's near impossible to hardware cap to 30 frames per second. It's literally all just the software, which can be fixed.

Secondly, I have an iPod Touch for time-wasting apps/gaming/ media. This bug doesn't apply to me.

My Evo died after using it for 8 hours with 4 of those hours having it charged in my car.

You don't want a 4.3" screen if it caps you at 30fps, get an Incredible. You want better battery life, android has a phone for that too. You want a keyboard, android has that covered. Whether your a LCD or AMOLED fan, android has a phone for you. I'm loving this 4.3" screen.

If it did not happen with the iPhone and AT&T and it happened with all the other carriers, I am sure you would be the first to bag on the iPhone because it could not use voice and data at the same time.

alot of the console games are capped, or were capped at 30fps at one point.

im talking about the 360 and such.

if your a pc gamer, then sure, 30fps is a joke for most of us, but you're playing minesweeper and little arcadey 2d, with some low res 3d shooters.

i don't think the 30fps cap is going to affect the phones at all.]]>Jun 11th 2010 10:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/Jun 11th 2010 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/
The higher FPS is great for fast moving activities such as games because the object pixels will appear to move "smoother", but then again we're talking about a phone. Get real people, it's a PHONE! Buffering and interpolating that many frames sucks up power and processing time (especially if it's Flash!). Sometimes it feels like people want every thing under the sky despite the fact that it would reduce their battery life to crap. Believe it or not, there are engineers and software developers that worry about power consumption. Instead of bashing the EVO, maybe we should take it as a design feature.

To put it this way, people would rather have an oil spill once in a while rather than build fuel efficient cars with low RPMs. You don't need a Hemi to go grocery shopping or 4-wheel drive to drop the kids at soccer. The same philosophy applies to phones.]]>Jun 11th 2010 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/Los Angeles, and i am loving the speeds]]>Jul 3rd 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/Jun 10th 2010 9:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/htc-evo-4gs-graphics-capped-at-30fps/
