Well it was nice being a part of the EVO 3D community but I got my termination letter today. Sprint does not work at my job so I had to use a verizon prl. I actually tried many different sprint prl's but could never get service at work. Oh well I guess. Now I need to find someone to buy a rooted 3d with hboot 1.4, dock, otter box and several batteries. Hopefully whatever phone I go with at verizon has such a supporting development.

good luck with big red....me, I'd go with the Rezound as Scott from scottsroms has a leaked ICS build already cooked and he is one of the most responsive devs around (he's still dev'ing CleanROM for the 3D too)...killer screen too.

Good Morning All,
Anyone have any stores (Sprint, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc) doing a waiting list for the EVO LTE? I know they will have a pre order 5/7, but didn't know if they were doing a list like they did for the 3D.
Thanks!
I checked my local store and they said they would probably start a waiting list in 2 weeks with a $50 gift card purchase.
The waiting list is the pre-order. That's why they call it the pre-order. You're on a list, waiting for the phone you ordered prior to it's release date.

Do you think its not worth it. I was planning on getting it myself but not sure if I can since I started my plan when the evo3d came out last year summer. That means I wont qualify for a upgrade until 2013. If devs like you wont develop for that phone then I wont be too heart broken if I dont get it.
Back in April I cracked my screen on my 3d. Sent me a refurbished replacement. Within a month the soft keys and bottom of the screen go out. Take it back in to the repair store and they order a replacement. I wait over a week and What do I get? A certified pre owned with the paint chipping off. Is this normal? Read other people got different phones so why do i get a paint chipped used phone?

You're not alone. Sprint only offers refurbished EVO3Ds as replacements. I've gone through probably 7 or 8 phones already, and all of them have had issues.
My current phone has a big blue patch on the screen, it's missing the rubber gasket around the screen, and the aluminum frame around the screen is bent.
I'm overseas right now, so I can't get a replacement, but I definitely will when I'm back in the states. I'm kind of hoping I can get another phone, since I've only had bad luck with the EVO 3d, it seems. I emailed the technician at my local Sprint store, and as of right now, it seems you can only get an EVO3D as a replacement for an EVO3D.
I just got a new phone from sprint today after the one they had send me had hardware issues and a blue spot in my screen.

Dropped my Evo 3D back on the 6th. Cracked the screen. Went to Asurion for the first time ever (have had insurance on all my phones for the past 4 years) and am getting an Epic Touch 4G as a replacement. Hopefully, I won't be disappointed.

My wife's Evo 3D wouldn't charge up (broken prong). The sprint store ordered her a brand new Evo 3D (same ugly purple one as her original). It arrived within a week and no issues with it at all. Not sure why some get refurbs, some get new ones, and others get different phones instead.

That would make sense. Our case, it was a manufacturer's defect so insurance (asurion) was not invloved. Guess we got lucky
I guess I will stick out my light screen bleeding... If only they replaced it with an LTE
I tried to get sprint to replace my phone when the whole left edge bent off. they told me i would have to pay 100 for a replacement if I had the insurance. I thought the whole reason to pay for the insurance is that if the phone broke you got a free replacement. Im glad i didnt pay for the insurance and I walked out of the store with a case
Out of curiosity why are people even carrying insurance on these phones anyways? Can one just find a good used replacement on ebay or craigslist for about the same price as the deductible?

I'm on phone number 4 as well, holding out for the new S3 if possible or it might be phone 4 due to a crappy usb port.
Phone #1 kept randomly rebooting, then after a reboot it decided to never connect to the Sprint network again.
Phone #2 had some visible junk behind the screen.
Phone #3 decided it wanted to commit suicide while I was watching Netflix, it made a loud beeping noise and would never come back on.
Phone #4 Capacitive light buttons are dimmed and since flashing cm9 they won't even come on. The usb port is getting loose and I have to charge my phone at an angle (awesome).
I know this really isn't HTC's fault due to Ausrion (sp) phones but going through 4 phones is kind of pushing me away from HTC. Waiting for S3 reviews to decide on that or the 4G LTE.
Already said screw it and picked up my LTE

Well looks like phone number 5 coming monday or tuesday. #4 just quit on me today, turned the phone off today because I had so training and when I got finished, turned the phone on and the screen won't come on......yay!
Took it to the coperate store, they looked at it and said we will get you another one (refurb). Does anyone know if the refurbs are from Sprint, Asurion, or HTC? If these are HTC refurbs this is quite dissapointing. On a positive note, while waiting at the store they had two very lovely women working there, one Cuban and one Puerto Rican,

So my E3D went south on me. In Developer Options I turned on the touch tracer and could see the phantom touches that were opening apps, dialing contacts, whatever shortcut was under the spot when it fired. Crazy.
So I unrooted, loaded the current RUU, and headed to the Sprint repair location by my house.
They looked at it and confirmed the problem. Dude said, "Well, we have replacement parts so we can replace the screen. Or, if you want, we can swap it for the Evo4g LTE." I didn't think I heard him right, so I paraphrased it back to him. Yup. Incredible. Sprint was really getting on my nerves, but they won my heart back with that move.
Just wanted to share my experience - I hope everyone gets similar treatment when the time comes.
That's lucky! I took mine in last month and they replaced the screen. But, I like my 3D and LTE is not online here yet, so maybe it's better that I kept my 3D anyway.
Must be nice.. I've been through like 7 or 8 3ds and their only offer is another crappy refurb or a downgrade.
Sent from my PG86100
Same thing happened to me! Except it was a list given to me. The last phone was the EVOLTE and my face lit up!
I'm loving the LTE. I miss the Evo 3D only cuz aside from the digitizer issues it was a good phone to me.
The screen and battery on this is a huge improvement. I can upgrade again in July but will probably wait till end of the year or maybe next year.
Whoever had digitizer problems just keep trying. I know it helps if you have insurance.

My 3d has been having problems keeping a consistent wifi or 3g connection the past few weeks. Sprint has sent me 6 replacements, all have been broken (one bad screen, one wouldnt turn on, one the digitizer didnt work etc). I got tired of having to take each one into the store just to have them verify that it was broken. I told them I wanted a new phone, not a refurbished crap phone. The guy checked his computer, and said they could offer me a Galaxy S2 (yes, a 2) or an evo 4g (the old one, not the LTE). I told him there is no way they are giving me a phone that's over 2 years old. He talked to his manager, and he said the same thing, that's all they could offer me.
I called Customer care to see what they would offer, even threatened to cancel my account. They told me I would have to contact Asurion and pay the deductible to get another replacement (and it would be a refurb). I can't believe Sprint is turning me to them to handle their business, since they can't do their jobs themselves. AND trying to make me PAY to get a warranty replacement.
I actually bought my EVO 3D with a bad screen for $20 and replaced it with a good quality screen for $30. Funny thing is, the EVO 4G LTE went on sale for the price of free (2year contract) 2 days later here. I snagged one for my wife but decided to hang on to the 3D. I'll honestly say the only improvement i care about on the LTE is the battery. It's nice that it's light, and the screen is slightly bigger but i think I'll wait till they put out the next evo or HTC phone that has a quad core or something much better.
And this was for free?? or through asurion, I've got two 3vo's that are broken right now, Mine has digitizer problems and my lady's has a shattered screen. Will asurion replace the broken screen one for the hundred bucks with the 4g lte?
And is there a chance mine will be replaced with a 4g lte for free?

I guarantee you will get a refurb 3d. I just called Asurion today and according to them, they have "tons" of refurbed 3d's.
I took mine into a sprint store for the digitizer and had just dumped a sock rom on it but still had the unlocked bootloader and everything. They replaced the digitizer and even replaced the entire shell. They basically put my board into a new phone. Even joked with me about my boot up screen(android pissing on an apple)

I have tep coverage.... They don't seem to care. And the list of phones they were offering was horrible for me. Evo 4g, Evo shift, epic, and conquer... All if which came out before the 3d, have lower resolution, half the ram, single core processors, and.. oh yeah no 3d obviously but I don't really mind losing 3d if its a capable device. I asked about a gs2 and they wouldn't budge on that even. Been a customer for a decade and have 3 lines of service...
The latest refurb has horrid light bleed and the screen actually makes a sound when I press it back into the casing because it doesnt sit properly.
Hmmm. Looks like in off to download another ROM while roaming lol.

You would think they could.... But no. And seriously..... I haven't gotten what I would call a good quality refurb yet.
Every single one the screen has been loose, jacked up power buttons, cases literally bulging apart... And all they wanna do is send another pos or downgrade me. I used to brag about how great they were and in all honesty I've been telling people to stay away since they started treating me like this.... Their customer service used to be what kept me in lieu of their ****ty coverage and slow network speeds.

By the way of additional information - when I scheduled my appointment online with the Sprint repair center, I included information that my phone was critical for my job (which is true) so, possibly, that played into their decision to upgrade my phone.
Hope this information is useful to someone.
I'll give that a shot... My digitizer started acting up today ironically..... Phantom touches and I have to power cycle it occasionally just to get a response.

Sprint doesn't really care about the rooted phone... When I was a tech for them, I still did the repair and or replacement. I just wanted the customer to be honest with me. Either case its their job they have to repair it. TEP is not effected by root.

Well my digitizer has become much worse over the last couple days so I had to do something :-/
So I called customer service and was told that they'd replace my EVO3d... But it'll be 5-7 days on back order. The rep said she had to offer an EVO but acknowledged that it is not an even trade. They wouldn't give me other options. I have insurance but so I figured this is the cheapest way out for now. They waived the $35 fee, or so they said. Last time I did this with a Moment, they said the same thing about being back ordered and a box arrived early with a shiny Transform... So we'll see. My contract is up in 6 months, almost made it!

Actually is not bad at all, went to Verizon and I am very iimpresse!! Pre-ordered 2 of them. Can't wait until next week to play with it!
I am keeping my pre-order for the unlocked version.
Chatted with two representatives on the 13th who both said the unlocked version will work with Verizon, so I pre-ordered then and there. Talk about the unlocked version NOT working with Verizon had me concerned, and now that the pre-order for Verizon is up I thought I'd contact them through phone and check to see if I can switch my pre-order to the Verizon version.
Rep tells me I'd have to cancel my pre-order and place my pre-order for the Verizon version, I tell her my main concern was that the unlocked version wouldn't work with Verizon. She said no, it should definitely work with Verizon....
I am just going to wait and see. Worse comes to worst, I'll just return it and pick one up from the Verizon store at that point.

Completely agree with this. I looked at some of the main "issues" that reviewers complained about and they were SO overblown.
The screen looked fantastic from all angles. Didn't see any pink hue from the side. Camera focus was lightening quick. Maybe it isn't quite as fast as S7, but nothing you'd notice in real world use.
Only thing I was completely disappointed with was the speaker. Not only was it not loud, but it didn't sound impressive in the slightest. For a phone with separates, it did not sound as bassy as ONE speaker on my M8, and I'm fairly certain if I disabled one speaker on my M8 it would STILL be louder than the 10. Highly disappointed on that front. Hoping that I can tweak it with software and push at least a little bit more volume without distorting.
