THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY RESPONSE IS GREATLY APPRICIATED .
Hey there ruger. I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with your EVO 3D since the update. With the kind of trouble you’re experiencing, I suggest you try running your phone in safe mode first. It’s not entirely uncommon for 3rd party apps to cause a phone to crash, especially after an OS update. Some of the apps on your phone may not be ICS compatible, and this may be a result of such a situation. Safe Mode is a tool which allows only preinstalled software to run on your phone while it is enabled, and is exited by simply restarting your phone. To enter Safe Mode, just perform the soft reset you’ve mentioned above by removing the battery and allowing a minute to pass before putting the phone back together. This time, as soon as the screen lights up when you’ve turned it back on, hold the volume down key and continue to do so until you reach your home screen. You should see Safe Mode in the corner of your screen.
Try running your phone for a day or two in Safe Mode to see if it is still shutting itself off. If your phone seems to be stable while in Safe Mode, you will need to go through your applications and uninstall some of the more recently installed ones to see which particular app is causing the problem. If your phone is still randomly shutting down, you may need to perform a Factory Reset. This is also not entirely uncommon after you’ve received a full operating system upgrade as it ensures the new system starts on a clean slate. If you find yourself in this situation, I recommend reaching out to my teammates in customer support. They can best help you ensure your data is backed up so you will not lose anything during the reset. Their contact information is available at www.htc.com/.../contact-us.
Let me know how you make out!
