Although the latest release from HTC, the EVO 4G, has all the capability of supporting Wireless N, for some reason HTC decided to leave it out of the first version of this super phone. However, since it was being packed together with Android, you can be sure that there would be some major changes possible for it. So it comes as no surprise that XDA developers have managed to get the wireless N working completely on the Unlocked HTC (EVO).

But be warned, in case you have recently picked out the HTC EVO 4G and are new to Android, it is not recommended that you go ahead with this procedure. However, if you are like most others and are too stubborn to give up, you can give it a go. Although a previous hack for this required users to have a little knowledge of ADB, now it is relatively simpler to hack, as all you have to do is simply flash the zip file, which is very similar to sideloading your phone with a ROM. But our recommendation is that you still learn a bit of ADB as it would aid greatly in the process of getting wireless N working on your phone.

While you might be compelled to just go ahead and immediately get this hack working, be warned that it could drain the battery life of your EVO. Although we have yet to see just what are the repercussions of getting Wireless N enabled on your phone, chances are that it will affect your battery too.  The fact that the developers over at XDA have been able to get a variety of hacks working in the Android, meant that it would only be a matter of time before they came up with bigger and better roots. In fact, you can be sure that any new hacks released will be simply amazing. You can get step by step procedures on how to get wireless N on your EVO at the XDA developers forum.
