![EVO 4G LTE update 3.16.651.3 HTC EVO 4G LTE receives OTA update to 3.16.651.3 [Updated]](http://www.pocketables.com/images/2013/01/EVO-4G-LTE-update-3.16.651.3.jpg "EVO 4G LTE update 3.16.651.3")
The HTC EVO 4G LTE is receiving an OTA update to 3.16.651.3. It’s not the update to Android 4.2 that a lot of people are still hoping for, but it does bring some much needed bug fixes and other improvements to the device.
Weighing in at 44MB, users are reporting improvements to the proximity sensor, fixes to the camera shutter sound (i.e. silencing it when it’s supposed to be silenced), and improved voicemail. We don’t have an official changelog yet – the one shown in this screenshot is actually the same one for the previous Jelly Bean update (imagine that; someone at HTC or Sprint messed up agagin!). The changelog also isn’t appearing yet in Sprint’s community forums, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled over there.
In the meantime, hit that update button, and let us know what other changes you find. As always, if you’re rooted and you don’t have S-OFF, accept this OTA at your own risk.
Update: Here is the official changelog, as listed on the Sprint Community Forum:
- Proximity sensor improvements while on a call or listening to voicemail
- Ability to output audio/video to HDTV (and other external displays via MHL cable
- WiFi Connection improvements
- Bluetooth compatibility improvements
- Android process/application shutdown resolved
[Android Central] Thanks, Simon!

While the proximity sensor issues and always-on Developer Options seem to be fixed, I have lost the ability to change the RIngtone Volume. The Media Volume change still works.
sigh.
Root and install a custom ROM, that’s really all I can tell you.
Restart your phone, had the same problem did the trick
Silly me. I had powered off and on, which did not fix the issue, but a restart did. Thanks
You may want to disable Fast Boot under power settings.
Wow, thats odd, after the update, my first Alarm was turned on.
You’re quite welcome, guys. Glad to be of service.
I don’t have an EVO 4G LTE, but figured I’d pass the news along anyway. Cheers.
i just flashed the new full firmwear zip that captainfhrowback posted on xda and i **cked my phone up bad!! captian did also our touchscreens dont work at all now.. i dont kno what to do now?? im so pissed ? should i run an RUU?

- Proximity sensor improvements while on a call or listening to voicemail
- Ability to output audio/video to HDTV (and other external displays via MHL cable

Thanks! I updated the original post.
Does anyone know of a good ROM that i can use that has the update? I would like to keep as stock as possible with no customizations if possible. Thanks in advance. BTW, i used to have FLEX360 Stock with Goodies.
Nobody has it incorporated yet. give it another couple hours and my bet is we’ll see it in MeanBean and probably SuperJelly.
Does anyone know if the HBOOT changed?
Old hboot, shutter noise fixed (wonder if people are going to claim privacy laws again instead of it being a bug), new radios. New firmware’s available.
Anyone know if this fixes navigation?
So it is confirmed that the shutter noise can be turned off again because of this OTA?
I just tried my camera, and with the phone in silent mode, there was no shutter sound. I don’t see an option to turn it off completely, in the camera app though.
Thanks Paul..
Waiting to hear if hboot is changed. Confirmation would be greatly appreciated.
Any improvements to Google Maps/Navigation? I still can’t use it for more than 15 seconds before the application crashes…
my brother just updated, his hboot says 2.09. unsure what it was before update but I assume it was 2.09
Here you go for the boot screen after update.

I can confirm my hboot is still 2.09 after the update.
Can anyone verify… does the email hyperlink hack not work anymore (ro.da1.enable=false, ro.da1.method=false)? I want back to edit my build.prop, rebooted, but it doesn’t seem have any effect now since the update.
I will wait for MeanBean to be updated. This comes just in time for 3.0
Is it me! I no longer can have custom alarm sounds? It defaults to Pendulum when ever i select a custom alarm sound. all the pre-install alarms all work…
Prox. sensor working makes me happy. Google maps still crashing gets me pissed!!!. HTC rep told me via email to clear cache, to resolve the problem. I tried 3x..and nothing happened.
I’m sure Mean Bean will have all this and more in 5,4,3,2..Wait most of these things he already has incorporated.
But you get the idea.
MMS still compresses photos down so small the resolution is terrible.
Proximity Sensor fixed!
Google Maps/Nav FAIL. Ugh!
So if the hboot did not change will the s-off exploit still work if I update
I went with diestarbucks for 3.16.651.3 its as close as i could get to stock without customazation.
Is it just me who had the annoying bug of when you go to your gallery you had to press the my phone button several times just to get to your photos and videos?
After updating my phone the ringtone volume stays on mute. I go to settings and change it to high, save and it goes back to mute. I will never buy another HTC phone EVER. Do they not test any of these updates before they release them? Taking the phone to Sprint tomorrow. What use is a phone that won’t ring?
That sounds like a bad unit, my first one lost it’s data radios.
Navigation seems to be fixed on mine. All is well with my phone at least. Proximity sensor was my main peeve. No shutter sound so I can be the perv everyone expected LMFAO! (just kidding). No complaints. But unless HTC doesn’t clean up their act, people are going to be purchasing from the competition. I for one am seriously considering the LG Optimus G.
Still have a issue with Google Nav Shutting down everytime after 1 minute of use. even after hard reset.
