How To: Get Back to PRI 1.40 on Evo
Aug 13th
As you may or may not know… when the Evo shipped it came with PRI 1.40. The PRI (as best as I know it) is a connection between your phone and the radio and is responsible for carrying both voice and data. During the rooting (nand unlock step) process your PRI gets downgraded to 1.34. Many users reported slow data speeds on the 1.34 PRI (which was an older PRI during the Evo’s testing/development days). It is a pretty simple fix to get it back to 1.40 if Sprint had made the files available to us, however they didn’t. I spoke with HTC a few days ago and they told me that a FOTA was coming from Sprint that included the correct PRI but they didn’t have an ETA. Thanks to a thread on XDA I was informed that it is live now.
You can follow these steps to get your PRI back to 1.40 without any data loss.

GeekFor.Me is long overdue for a post explaining awake time and when you should and shouldn’t worry about it, and I actually worry that this post could bring that whole debate back up, but I wanted to get this information out there.

News: HTC Facebook not Syncing Contacts
Jul 26th
I have been getting a lot of reports over the last week or so of people not being able to sync their contacts with HTC Facebook (Facebook for Sense). It happened shortly after I released a new rom for the Evo and Hero and I didn’t see others complaining about the issue so I assumed it was something related to what I did. As it turns out this is a widespread problem that has occurred after a Facebook API change, and HTC is working on it.
