And, when using 4G, the EVO�s battery runs down alarmingly fast. In my tests, it didn�t last through a full day with 4G turned on. The carrier, in fact, is thinking of advising users to turn off the 4G network access when they don�t think they need it, to save battery life. This undercuts the whole idea of faster cellular speeds. |
