always glad to see folks dump the iphone
its amazing how so many people could agree to like one size screen,1 form factor,1 set of specs etc in the iphone..... much more choices in phones and stuff with android to suit your needs
this phone blows the iPhone away i love it
i cant comment on battery life yet but the iPhone did have great battery life for me
?
I just assumed the ip4 had good battery life until I went to New Orleans for the weekend with some friends that all have iphones. One of them carried a charger and every placed we stopped they were all taking turns charging.
Sheon -
We do get 4g in most of Honolulu/Oahu
It gets spoyty on Nimitz under the Viaduct and inside building.
If you are IN town - the Tall building are likely interfering as well.
get GREAT 4g Reception in Kaneohe/Kailua
I just got my 3D a few hours ago. Upgraded from the 4G. I haven't had a chance to install all my apps and stuff yet. Quick question...can I just pop in my old 16gb SD card?

The Evo 4G is the first Android phone I have ever owned, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. I think it's a good candidate for one of the best phones that HTC has released ever. If the Evo 3D is just as good as the Evo 4G was last year, then that should make the loss of the og evo not so bad

I actually flashed back to Stock a couple of days ago and couldn't stand being back on Sense. Flashed CM7 back and cancelled my preorder. I don't care how fast and how improved, unrooted Sense just sucks.
I may join you guys after you work through all the quirks and after the first update (definitely not before we have root), but my Evo is just as good today as it was a year ago.
EVO4G was my first touch screen phone and Android phone(moved from BB Curve), so it will be tough letting her go. However, I am extremely excited for my EVO 3D!

I still have my HERO and haven't been in that forum in at least 2 weeks. Counting down until Friday 8am EST! My phone seems to know it's about to be replaced because it's actually working better than it's ever worked. But it's going to my girlfriend cause she wants it. It'll be her headache after Friday. Maybe now I can convince her to let me get her a new phone after she sees my new one.

Yeah, my first android was the g1. then switched to sprint for the hero and went to the evo on launch. sold my evo june first, went back to the hero. Man other than the web being slow, and the camera taking forever to load. The hero has been fun to use for the last month. Im running cm7 and its smooth. Wayy too smooth for a old phone. This makes me realize how much android has grown up in the last 3 years. Im not going to be selling the hero. She is staying in my collection as my backup phone. the Evo 4g was to valuble $$ to just shovel away in the closet. I hope we can make this evo 3D a success so that htc will keep the evo line going. Becuase I know, After playing with the 3d at sprint today, I made a good choice and will be buying HTC again, hopefully next will be a quad core thin rugged evo. call it the Evo Q4, for quad core. anyway. . thanks sprint.
Luckily my wife is getting my EVO and I am selling her Epic and I'm grabbing the 3d Evo, OG evo was a great phone and first phone I got into with flashing and rooting etc...
It was a lot of fun going into the sprint store yesterday seeing the workers play with the 3d evo, and I was playing with 3.0 sense on my regular Evo with some customers not knowing how i did it.
Can't wait till Friday

Try Synergy as soon as you can. Sense 1 and 2 do blow pretty bad but 3 is a big improvement and it's not going to be so bad rocking it until we get root. I have been on the stock rom for 2 weeks (burns in my OGE meant I got a new OG with GB already on it so no root and flash for me before getting rid of it) and it's been painful....
I am thinking about upgrading to the evo 3d in a few hours. (15-20)
and i am wondering, is it really worth it?
can anyone please tell me about any issues with the phone that YOU personally have experienced that are major.
main use of phone will be 2d movies, music, texting and some web browsing. calling of course.
lemme know please and thanks lol
My biggest gripe about the phone..... Google Music/ data roaming.
I had NO issues using Google Music on data roaming with the NS4G. With this, I can't really data roam anymore.
My speeds are slow on 3G (but so are everyone's it seems, Sprint is becoming overloaded obviously), and there are said to be towers out in my area.... I've heard that excuse for the past two years... I'm getting sick of it. All of that combined with not getting some phone calls and text messages is a bit annoying.
Other than that one inssue (which affects any sort of data usage really off Sprint's network), I love the phone for what it is! MUCH nicer feel than any other phone (including the OG EVO) I've ever used, and I love how comfortable it is to hold.
Battery life is decent for me, camera is everything I wanted, and you and somewhat attach a lanyard thing to the phone if you really need too (good for takin' pictures).
I'm happy with it, I'm going to keep it..... Sprint's probably not going to like my complaint tomorrow, lol.
So other than there are really no issues? like overheating or anything?
After 20 days I'm 100% satisfied. Take it for a 30 day test drive, if you don't like it return it.

If this is really all you want to do, then don't upgrade. The phone is amazingly fast, stable, and Sense 3.0 is well organized and very nice to look at, IMO. However, what you seem to want to use the phone for is not something that warrant upgrading to this device for.
I upgraded because previous Evo lagged with some of the games I played on it, it had Bluetooth connectivity issues with many devices I wanted to pair it with, my internal memory was full even using apps2SD, etc. I can benefit from the upgraded hardware on this phone due to the type of user that I am.
In your case, however, if you can afford it and want a phone that can do everything you want and a LOT more, then go for it. What I'm trying to say is that you don't NEED a 1.2 ghz dual core processor, 1 gb of ram, a high resolution screen, 3D capabilities with native mirroring to an HDMI source via MHL, etc. to send texts and browse the web. lol
But it won't hurt!

Last night my wife got an Epic Touch. Nice phone. But I can confirm what people have been saying about the radios. The reception on the Photon was consistently 6 to 8 dB stronger on the Photon. I downloaded the same app with both and the Photon 40 percent faster. Both phones were in the same place. Also, there are a couple of "no Sprint zones " where I'd always drop calls with my old Epic. The Photon always holds the call in that area. I know people have claimed many times that the Photon radios are better and here is a real world test that proves it. Im glad I stayed with the Photon.

you gotta love it when you can use a phone as a phone and make and hold calls.
I was very seriously considering swapping my photon for the ET4G... i mean REALLY considering it.. I loved the Epic.. it would only stand to reason that it successor would be just as bad ass right ??
Then i remember the GPS problems, the bluetooth headaches, the lack of support/updates (from samsung/sprint).. it took lots of modding and just the right ROM to make the phone a pleasure to use.. IThen I grabbed my photon and realized how good I really have it.
This thing just works. I installed SPB shell 3D, rooted it and am loving the experience. Can't wait for CM7.. that'll make the experience w/ the photon INCREDIBLE..

I own both phones and love both of them. =] The epic touch for its screen (way better then I thought it was gonna be), light weight, still pic cam, and no lag. The photon for its radio, build quality, and speakers. Both phones are great and you can't go wrong with which ever one you pick. ^^ Sprint to me is the top dog right now with high end 4g phones. Lets just hope they improve their network this coming October.

I enjoy my Photon way more than my Epic, I just think Motorola's framework is a lot more cleaner than Samsung's. One of the things that annoyed me the most about the Epic is I couldnt disable the sound of when their is a network drop/reconnect. So I would constantly hear it while listening to music going in and out of subways. With the Photon, it's just silent and there is audio interruption going on.
Also, the little things like the orientation animation is nice. Samsung's screens are of course great, but I'm glad I have a higher res screen on the Photon. The icons on the Epic Touch look huge with the lower res, but that of course is a personal preference thing. Also not having my phone be a useless brick that can only use wifi when traveling internationally is great, the world phone option is a huge plus for me.

Even though Samsung doesn't push updates much, the development section is so active that most issues will be cleared out. Also cuz international version has been out a while, most issues must've been ironed out by now

Have had both and like the Epic Touch way better. For one thing I can hear someone when a call comes in. While the Photon had very strong signals and great sound, even with the MR it still suffered from software issues. I know everyone said to keep exchanging until you get one that works but that is not too appealing to me. I just want to get a phone and go. With the ET it has worked great from day one with no issues at all.
To be honest there are some faults that only a tech geek would nit pick about. Most people I know never seem troubled by some of the issues that posters rant and rave about. People complained about the Photon screen, really? I had to go into our tech department and use their electron microscope to see what they were talking about.
I would have to say that both phones are about equal. You can't go wrong with either one. It all comes down to which one you prefer. If you are happy with the one you purchased then that's all that really matters.
The name is kind of catchy also "MOPHO". I thought about getting the Epic Touch too, but I think there are too many things that the MOPHO has the the touch does not.. Kickstand and webtop mostly.. I just wish there was more developer interest.
i agree with the comment about having a grudge with samsung. after owning a moment i'll never own a sammy phone again. just got my photon last night and the sales person was trying to push a samsung on me. i was take your sammy and shove it lady give me the photon!
And I can tell you IMHO, this phone blows away the bionic. I get a stronger more consistent signal, much better screen, the camera...not even close, I appear to be getting faster DL and UL speeds, build quality very similiar, faster, more responsive, NO DATA DROPS.
Though I really liked my Bionic, the Rezound has it beat pretty good.

I had the Bionic and returned it. I really liked the phone and had always been a fan of Motorola. But when I got the Bionic I started to notice that sometimes when I picked it up I had no 3G at all. I live 8 blocks from a tower. When I went to Indianapolis the phone played hot potato between 4G and 3G and then none at all. Last night I went to Indy with the Rezound and it locked on to 4G and held on to it. As a matter of fact it picked up the 4g way before I got to Indy which the Bionic didn't. So far I am happy with the switch. The only thing I wish it did have is an FM radio. I like to listen the our local high School sports while I am at the game.

I was just going to ask if that is why you went to Indy, lol. I went to Penn HS so I am a little disappointed right now to say the least. I F****** hate Yeoman though, so I am glad they lost for that reason.
On the topic of the signal not picking up, my buddy has a bionic and just switched the other day, he had a similar situation and even with extended battery he wouldn't make it through an 8 hour day at work with it bouncing between the 2 so he just turned off LTE. Now he pulls good reception like me.

LOL no not just for that. We did see a lot of people wearing Penn shirts when we were killing time and driving around Lucas Oil stadium We went to see Jeff Dunham at Conseco. That man is funny as you know what. Plus gave me a chance to check out and see if the 4G and 3G played the hot potato game like the Bionic did. Now just waiting on the root.
So obviously proven better performance!
I had friends who went for both. I have been out of school for 6 years, so not sure why so many people went, lol.
How was LTE in a crowded environment? Probably not enough people drawing on it yet to get a real feel. Did you do any speed tests?

I will say the only good thing the bionic has going for it is that the display works better outside sunlight.

This is hilarious. I just swapped my Bionic for the Rezound as well... I was so excited to rock the Bionic....until I tried the camera....my old Tmobile Wing took better pictures than the Bionic. I was very, very disappointed. How could such a beast of a phone be sold with a cracker jax box camera? Well, I want the Nexus, but still waiting. So I gave this Rezound a shot. I've had numerous HTC devices, and they all performed well. This Sense 3.5 is a ram hog, but I just ran the Clean Up Script to temp root and remove bloat, and BLAM, all is good. The camera is fantastic, and the screen is gorgeous! Lets see how it does..
I got lucky..
I went into the Verizon store 100% ready to pay full price for a phone. I dropped my Charge about a month ago and broke the glass. Just cosmetic because the screen and phone worked just fine. Then yesterday dropped it in the tub. Still was working but touch response was jacked.
So into the store... looked at the Razr and the Rezound. I picked the Rezound and at checkout, it rang up $299. I have only been a Verizon customer since June. My unlimited data is still on my plan and everything. Woot Woot!
So far really liking the phone. I was not sure if I could get over losing the Super AMOLED Plus on the Charge. I really did like that phone.
I don't care for all the crap-apps preinstalled on the Rezound. Verizon really needs to stop that!
All over this too. I just got my rezound today after dealing with the bionic for three long months. I am absolutely thrilled with this phone. I was given the bionic as a replacement for a tbolt. I was thrilled at first, but the camera, data drops, piss-poor Bluetooth audio streaming , etc... was intolerable. After months of complaining, I finally got them to give me a rezound.
I'm in love
A friend of mine bought his first smartphone the bionic. Well of course he thinks it is badass, its his first smartphone. Oh and did I mention he bought it when the resounded came out LOL. I sure hope he didn't pay 300 for it.
I just didn't have the heart to tell him how bad of a purchase he just made.
hey guys.
I was on board with the first Evo 4G, then got the Evo 3D, and now i'm wanting to upgrade. but i'm not feeling as excited about the LTE as I was hoping to be.
I use my phones with MetroPCS so I don't care about the LTE capabilities. is there anything going from an Evo 3D to the LTE that might leave me disatisfied? is there a better phone out there (CDMA)?
thanks.

i had the og evo and the evo 3d.. now i got the evo lte and it kicks a$$!!! this phone is a beast.. that is all
Best battery life of any android devices i have owned.
EVO 4G, Epic 4G, EVO 3D, Epic Touch.
Do not get the LTE yet! Do you like 3G speed on your brand new Porche?
I wish I had stay with my 3D.
i just hate this 3G speed!
I'm sorry I don't follow. Are you suggesting the speeds I'm getting on my 3D are better than what I would get on the same service with the LTE?

Cheating on Post 8... HEY MOM WHERE IS THE MEAT LOAF??!!
If you're not having any issues with your EVO 3D, I'd suggest you stick with it. For me, the EVO LTE isn't much of an upgrade because of all the problems I have with it. Others may not have these problems... I dunno, but here's my list:
* It locks up and I have to reset it constantly.
* Characters or whole freakin' words disappear after they've been typed. This bugs me more than everything else.
* Multitasking is an absolute joke because the phone constantly refreshes itself when you leave an app and go to another.
* My text messages don't send or I don't receive any quite often.
* Connecting to the web is always an issue even when the phone is showing a full strength signal. I usually end up grabbing a different phone to do what I was trying to do.
* When I download stuff from the web, the content gets stored on the phone's internal storage instead of the SD card like it's supposed to.
I've had these very same issues even when my phone was bone stock. My phone is rooted now and it's running on the VIPER 4G ROM, and it STILL has the same issues. I still have and use my EVO 3D on a different line... I'm glad I didn't trade it in.

That's lame that you are having all those issues. On the last one though, you do know you can choose where things are downloaded to.

I have my og evo 4g on another line and even when it is on 3g it gets much better service than my lte. For example, on my golf course the lte cant even stream pandora. The og evo never misses a beat. IMO this phone just wasnt meant for 3g.
I would agree on the battery life though, and that is about the only thing keeping from going back to the og evo all together.

I've tried adjusting every setting there is on the Dolphin browser, Google Chrome, the built-in browser and the phone settings and it still won't work right. I'm not too concerned with that issue though... it's a minor annoyance in comparison with everything else.
Stock browser, settings, advanced, download storage.?
"We're coming from a pure power source"
thanks for the feedback guys.
after researching both phones, I'm going to cheat on HTC and go over to the Samsung Galaxy SIII.
more ram, bigger screen, replaceable battery (easily the most convincing argument for me since I typically buy my Seidio big batteries before the phones), and connectivity with all our existing Samsung electronics.
Let's hope I don't regret it...
The best handset I've ever had, by FAR. The LTEVO is as good as it gets... Until the new HTC hardware rolls out this Fall, of course.

Yup, that's how my phone has always been setup. I'm gonna try flashing a non-Sense ROM (if there is one) to see if it'll get rid of my issues.
Got blue (me) and white (wife) SIIIs today. They look great and are very light. Still very nervous leaving HTC but I think change every couple of years is healthy...right?

The Samsung phones are ok. I have an SII that I picked up a few months ago. The only thing I'm not too fond of with the Samsung phones are the Super AMOLED screens. They're a little too saturated with color and not bright enough for my taste.
Coming from someone who knows SPECS and performance, dont go with the Evo LTE.
Thats the phone I currently have and from looking at my signature, I have been on almost every Droid phone even the ones on the GSM side of the world.
The Evo LTE is a good phone but it does have its problems. The biggest and only real problem you will notice is the tasking. If your in a app or brower and if you leave it and try to come back to it, the phone will attemp to reload the whole app or page your on. And if your on Sprint 3G that can be a pain LOL.
If anyone on here tell you the phone is a beast or the best phone on the market, they are either fanboys of HTC devices, or plain clear dont know what there talking about. Dont get me wrong, the phone isnt bad but the phone will start to slow down as you install more and more apps and HTC Sense does take up a good portion of RAM so expect your apps to close out a lot if you back out of them.
If your on the Evo 3D, the only upgrade you will really see is in the Camera and the Display of the Screen. The screen is 720p vs the Evo 3D QHD. As for the camera, its up there with the iphone 4s in my opinion.
If you had to choose which CDMA phone to get next I would say either the Galaxy S3 for its performance, perfect tasking and SAMOLED 720p Display.
Or the Galaxy Nexus to get that pure google experience that has basicly 0 system lag with the Jelly Bean OS.
Thats my 2 cents, to me HTC failed with this phone. The tasking problem with Sprint 3G is just fail. Impatiently waiting for LTE to come to Nashville TN the music city of the country...

Lol I have only had the multi tasking problem (stock rom) now running mean rom everything is perfect except sprints 3g in hawaii but ofcourse I knew what I was getting into when trading WiMAX for 3g so I can't complain, all the other problems you have posted leads me to believe you have a defective device, if so then I'm sorry for a bad first impression.

IMO the galaxy nexus from Verizon which I am familiar with has poor cpu/gpu performance compared to the evo lte. Gaming/video playback/3d graphics really made me sad from a Samsung google device. I do get ridiculous lte here 20-40mbps, just can't play any graphics intensive games without crazy lag and battery guzzling internals. I get a full day on my lte overclocked lol and I get 6-7 hours on my veri GN stock rom.
