- Beats Audio says it’s not available on the speaker. It never was before, but now it tells you.
- Beats bass is significantly boosted on headsets – so much so that it’s distorted on my headsets.
- Camera focus and shutter sounds cannot be disabled, even on silent.
- Changing background light colors forces a re-focus of the camera.
- Long-pressing home, then speaking the word “Google,” will bring up Google Now voice search.
- Google Now comes installed and functioning, although you will need to choose to participate in it before it will function correctly.
- Swype voice-to-text missing? Swype beta has it.
- Proximity sensor issues are causing the screen to be black and stay black until you press the power button. This is happening only on some EVOs (mine included).
- SMS is being reported as lagging.
- There are folder issues in which half of a folder cannot be touched.
- There are WiFi issues created on certain WiFi access points; the fix is to turn off DLNA.
- Quadrant scores are in excess of 6400.
- The battery seems to be slightly better.
- The dialer lag problem seems to have been fixed, although the lag issues did not appear until days into running any other ROM, so we’ll see.
- The power saver check button is persistently stuck in status bar.
- An application monitor was added to Power menu and claims to notify you when apps consume extra battery power.

- The Rosie carousel is back.
- HTC Connections Optimizer appears during setup,
but does not appear to be visible anywhere else. - Sprint tethering claims to work, but 3G data will kick on and off over and over again. I’m uncertain if this is because I don’t have a tethering plan, or it’s busted.
That’s what I’ve found in a day of using a stock (but rooted) Jelly Bean EVO 4G LTE, but feel free to drop us a line with what you’ve found.
So far, I’m finding it a marvelously buggy update with issues that should have been stomped out before it was released, and are being stomped out in the root sector. It’s significantly better than ICS was on the EVO 4G LTE, however.
