Just wondering if any OG EVO owners switching to the 3D have a slight feeling being down or sad?
I'm feeling kinda bummed to leave the OG EVO.

haha! I feel ya man. I didn't even want to activate the 3d right away. I got my OG Evo sitting to my left on the nightstand though, playing some tunes for me. I couldn't bear to get rid of it, I'll at least have it for a backup, or to fall back on in a jam once the rooting and flashing starts, lol.
I'm in total agreement with this.
i'm bouncing to and fro trying to decide if i should get one.
i mean i love the original EVO and Koni's IV hasn't even come out yet!
Cant decide, but if my buddy that works for sprint keeps pressuring me, i'm probably going to jump the OG EVO ship!
I'm going to use my of EVO mainly as my gps system. I have the tetrax magnet thing and I don't want to do that to my 3d.

Haha, no regrets at all. This phone is Awesome. And I'm sure eventually we will have root and an unlocked bootloader...Devs. rarely let us down

Not at all. If you dislike it so much why not get rid of it?
I'm almost feel like I'm neglecting a child by not using my EVO 4G. I keep picking it and messing with it and it just feels so familiar.

No regrets ny EVO served its purpose and has now evolved into this beast. Once you go 3d you never go back

This I agree with, otherwise I'm loving the EVO3D. I'm already looking for someone to root this thing. Wish I had a clue on how to crack it myself.
I just need to get my OG EVO sold now so my new one is free

I just got my 3D this morning, and I keep looking over at my EVO longingly.
nothing against the Evo3D, it's kindof awesome, and playing with the 3D stuff is fun! )even converted a couple 2D pictures to 3D...ya know, for funsies.)
but, I missing flashing. I think I'm going to finally flash MIUI. watch, I'll regret never flashing it before.
You know, the OG has served me well. I had what I felt was the perfect ROM & kernel combo for me. I had t osell mine to Sprint to minimize out of pocket costs for the E3D. I actually said "bye bye" to it as it laid on the counter at the store. But, I look at it like upgrading car models. You're not abandoning the brand, just upgrading. Like going from a 2010 Mustang GT(with the 4.6 320hp V8) to a 2011 Mustang GT(with a 5.0 412hp V8)...a good thing made better. All without abandoning the brand!
I made both of.em stream me some music.from the Google.beta.. they were in unison and everything.. the start of a healthy 3 way love affair!!

I took mine into sprint for their buyback and got $150 credit to my account,, worth it to me.

Well I went back and forth on getting the 3d. I loved my EVO and all the flashing it did. But in the end I am glad to have upgraded. Now let's unlock this thing and start flashing.

did you have to unroot it before trading it into sprint?
And, does the 150 dollar "credit" come off the price of the phone if you buy it there, or, is it a credit on your airtime bill?
thanks
Sprint don't care about root or if it works for that mater. I put together one from pieces I has laying around board with clean esn. 150 off the phone 300. Rebate phone cost 50 bucks. The 300 is. 150 upgrade and 150 rebate. Good luck

Although the new evo screen in sharp, I have to say I like the look of the evo screen better. I like the bigger look to it and the glossy screen. I'm sure I will get use to it but I have the 2 sitting side by side for the time being and it's much bigger on the evo.
Absolutely, dwntwnall4u, and I'm going back! Sorry, no buggy 3vo for me. Have one, down-trading tomorrow. I can't find ANYTHING I like more about the 3vo, except for its' questionable 3D effect. It'll get better (updated, upgraded) I'm sure. But for now......OG 4G (rooted) with Gingebread.
The Old Black Guy
Need some help as to which phone to keep and which to give away. I had an OG Evo and I loved it up to the day i sold it. I then purchased a Nexus. 4G and quickly fell in love with the phone. Exactly a month and a half later I bought the Evo 3d which is what I'm using now.
Now thst you have a history here's what I need help with... would you use the NS4G or Evo 3D? Take all factors into account (NS4G is rooted and evo 3d is not, NS4G is smaller and feels better in the hand whereas evo is a brick, evo has a dual core powerhouse and 3d capabilities, NS4G is single core w/ no 3d, evo runs sense (I'm def not a fan, NS4G doesn't)
Please post your feedback.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
If it was me i would say the Evo 3d . because it's more future proof with the dual core, MHL, ect. The nexus is a great phone too but i really like the evo 3d better.
I would take the EVO 3d without thinking twice but from your post, you seem to like the nexus better so I say keep the nexus, sell the 3d (you probably make more money anyway by selling the 3d)
Well...I currently own both phones as well and plan on keeping both. I've had the NS4G since it came out. Just got the E3D today and love it. Both phones have definitely advantages over the other. To the point that I dont want to get rid of my NS4G so I'll be keeping both.
Not to mention I have a tendency to switch phones rather frequently.
Well I wouldn't be buying an NS4G because I still have mine I'm just debating whether or not to return my E3D to get my upgrade back to upgrade to the new SGS II phone coming out

What's the use of dev support when you can't make anything for the phone? MIUI is easily my favorite ROM and it ran so well on the OG evo ans NS4G so I really don't know this is a hard choice!

with dev support all the good things come to the phone. i mean geez, this phone has only been out what 2 weeks. i think temporary root already means much much more to come. i am an htc fanboy so i am going to say keep the 3d but it's all a matter of personal preference. i have laughed when my htc phones get the updates and all the samsung people say "ours is right around the corner" i laughed at every epic owner that told me "i can wait a couple of days" when our evo 4g's got the gingerbread update, i don't think epic has gingerbread still(correct me if i am wrong). don't get me wrong i have seen samsung phones come out the gate blazing and have the latest and greatest but don't count on anything down the road.
I keep seeing these "I love my phone" threads or "I'm returning my phone" thread and all it does to me is make me indecisive. My upgrade is available on August 1st and I want to know if it's worth it. I am an evo 4g user since last year and i want to know from someone who enjoyed the evo since day 1 the difference between the two phones. By the way I am not planning on getting a gs2. Thanks guys.
UPDATE : Bought the damn phone and then I rooted the damn thing and I overclocked it and I am loving it. Thank god my account was eligible for an upgrade on August 1st while root was out. Patience is a virtue.

I had the Evo 4G since launch day, used it all year, and upgraded to the Evo3D on launch day as well. It is definitely an upgrade from the Evo 4G. The qHD screen is superior, the smoothness of the UI is awesome, sense 3.0 is cool, the processor and gpu are both beasts, and 90% of the devs that worked on the Evo4g are here for the Evo3D as well. The only thing the Evo has on the 3d (IMO) is full root and custom roms/kernels. However, we are very close to having that on the 3D as well. (hopefully) So to answer your question, yes I think you would enjoy the upgrade from the Evo4g. The power of this phone is amazing, even stock. The battery life is superior to the Evo too. And things are only going to get better from here, once we have S-off.
You just sold an evo 3d. Now the indecisive feeling is gone and getting this phone thank you very much.

What he said. I have both phones still. The only issue I have run into with the phone is wireless speeds. I am in the sticks, and pretty sure I am usually roaming on Verizon 1x towers. When I was in a big city over the weekend, Colorado Springs, the 4G speeds were pretty stinking awesome! 3G left a lot to be desired though. I have read up on it a bit, talked with those who I thought would know more than me, and did the 3G speed fix. So far, is loads about 200kbps regardless of signal strength. If you can look past that, you're set. I am pretty sure I'll be sticking this device out for as long as Devs are willing to work on it. Keeping fingers crossed for all of the fun possibilities that this POWERFUL device will bring when kinks are worked out.
Buy it you won't regret it!

For me, i was torn between evo3d and nexus s, i ended up with the 3d and for my first 30 i considered trading for the nexus, if it had just a few more features i probably would have traded for it. Now i wish i would have waited for the samsung s2.
Do i like the phone? Yes
Was it worth $200 to upgrade from the evo? No
But i sold my evo back to sprint for $150, so for a $50 upgrade from the evo it was worth it. Although i still wish i would have heald off for the new samsung coming out
Everything everyone wants in a custom rom and everything every custom rom advertises for the OG EVO is already in the 3D stock, plus the 3d features and more. Yes. Buy the damn phone! It hasn't even been rooted yet. This means where the OG EVO is being pushed to its limits, the 3D's true potential hasn't even been tapped yet.
Yes. Phone is awesome, even without full root.
I love my 3vo. But to each their own. Make sure the screen isn't crooked before they activate it.
Battery life is awesome. Way far superior than the OG 4G.
The ONLY think I like about the OG 4G is the width of the screen. I wish the 3vo was the same width. The 3vo seems a little top heavy in my hands. But it is so minor that I'll soon forget about it.

Wait for the Samsung Within. It just cleared the FCC today!! I can't wait.
I will likely be a EVO lifer. I purchased the EVO 4G on launch and bought the EVO 3D on launch, like many on here have previously stated. I loved my EVO 4G and I love this phone as well.
With or without root (which will come) this phone is beastly. I cannot guarantee that you will like it since I do not know of your previous phone history/preferences but I am assuming that your not a stranger to the smartphone/Android/HTC arena?
Thanks for the replies guys. Also I would like to know what defects should I look for in the phone b4 I can take it out of the store.

Great phone but with Sprint's version of the GSII (Within) just passing through the FCC yesterday I would personally wait a few weeks. Looks like the GSII is coming soon. I personally will be getting it but I walk around with 2 phones. If I only had one upgrade I would wait till you get a firm release date so you can at least have that 30 day window in case you don't like the 3D & want to go with the GSII (Within). But both are great phones so I guess the decision is ultimately whether you prefer Samsung over HTC. I personally think Samsung wins the hardware battle just sucks when it comes to software and support of their products. Also the big time devs are in the 3D's corner right now.

Go with HTC
Had the Samsung Epic and gave up on Samsung providing any updates over a year or more. Always saw HTC updates in the forums. I will not be done in again by sightly better hardware verses superior software support. I'm in HTC's camp from now on.
What's your opinion guys? Anyone with similar thinking?

Sense 3.6 not 4.0 on the sensation BTW. This confirmed by Jeff Gordon in a recent interview, who is in charge of global communications for HTC...also the guy is around this site too and posts some.
If 3D is pointless to you and you want to knock the device then why get it in the first place.
To the OP that choice is up to u as everyone has their own belief on it. It's like saying if u should get HTC or Samsung phone...endless debate and only one opinion matters and that's ur own.

Just to put this out there, I'm keeping my EVO 3D after I get my next phone in June. I like it, flat out.

That's a question for you to answer yourself. We can't tell you whether or not you like your phone. Me? I like this phone. It doesn't have the same impact as the OG Evo did on me (that being my first ever decent phone) but it's still a pretty solid phone. Been able to run ICS on it since I got it after the New Year. I see very little wrong with this phone.
Devs for the Evo are better. 'nuff said. Yeah. Thats right. I said at it. And I'm a badass too. Come at me.

Everything in this post, except for the timeframe of ICS updates, is so untrue. Just saying.
I was drawn to EVO 3d becouse of its design, like it more than Sensation. Having 1gb of rom, opposite to Sensations 768mb, was a one more reason to have it. Not to mention that it should be HTC's flag ship. When all started heading down hill, seed of doubt was planted. Wanted to hear other people opinions.

Love my evo, just not happy with sprints data speeds in my area, sensation is getting ics sooner which doesnt make since to me, what do i know though. I never really use the 3d feature. Sprint has some catching up to do service wise. If i was in the market now for a new phone and carrier, i would look elsewhere. Im not hating sprint or evo. Dont take it that way. In my area, dataspeeds are horrible, may be ok for you though if your in a major metro area.

The 1gb of RAM compared to the sensations 768Mb did it for me. Usually its not a huge deal...but c'mon we're talking about two sense phones here lol.
I personally do like the 3D feature of the device two, pretty much to the point so far where I might only purchase another phone if it had 3D (which is unlikely since im a minority)
If I were you, I'd get the Sensation because it has a bigger user base = more devs.

This.
Go where there is a more robust developing community. Not bashing anybody who develops on this phone since they made my EVO 3D a beast, but I realized that huge International phones like the Sensation and GSII are miles ahead in getting things done.
Guys, why did some of you buy the Evo 3D first hand at all - if not of for the 3D?
THAT should've been the main reason - best 3D compared to any other phone, and good overall performance for everything else (save the battery ). I was "back then" really drawn to the Sensation, but it had NO 3D. I'd have almost bought the LG, but luckily was saved by HTC
I never expected it to catch on, because the people apparently see 3D only as a gimmick (sic!), and a low priority one as that..."3D? Uh, yeah, cool... but does it play Angry Birds? Show me!"...
So, lessons learned: Next time buy the phone you need... I hope my 3D stays with me a long time.
Cheers

Because of the hardware inside, not the screen, or sense. Well at least for me, it was the best option when going the price to performance route.
Hello all thanks for stopping by. I have recently moved and settled to a new area and I bought my wife's and my phone straight out so we can switch at any time (or kill the contract if we moved outta the country). My android phones thus far have been the htc hero, lg optimus s, and the evo 3D. I got the evo 3d last june because I thought that it'd be like the original (tons of support, the next big thing, a crap ton of of mods). Little did I know that they would keep a lot of the drivers closed sourced and we as a community would have a few fantastic deves but would also run devs away (not just talking about the kernel devs over the past year quite a few have dropped by then been bashed and left). So my big question to everyone and indeed what I am pondering is.... Jump to a SIII as HTC and Sprint abandoned us or give HTC another shot? Both phones will have the same processor but im worried about samsung's build quality ...however I dont want htc to get my money blindly .... or i can just wait...? I dunno ...lol what is everyone else's thoughts?

Sprint is the issue. They are the final step before ICS is released. Follow the order: Google releases Android to the manufacturer > HTC tweaks it an adds Sense > HTC sends to carrier. HTC is not necessarily the blame here. There is a few threads dedicated to the speculation of the ICS release. IMO, it's still coming, but, just from the timing of things, they most likely delayed it so as not to conflict with the release of their new flagship, EVO 4G LTE (pushing more people to upgrade to that).
With the amount of reading and diving in to other forums because people ask me about their phones or I have actually rooted their phones, I prefer HTC phones regardless of the Evo 3D's lack of official ICS ROM (even though there is a VM leak and three ports available for it, one of those ports is a fully functional HTC Sense 3.5, which is what I am running) and the HBOOT 1.5 [email protected] (even though it's also mentioned that having HBOOT 1.5, rooted, S-ON and recovery 4EXT is the way to go).
I prefer the Sense interface. It's my preference. I love the ease of rooting (in most circumstances). I've had my experience of rooting a Samsung Captivate. It was eh. It was easy to root, but, when it came to custom stuff, just eh.

How's the GPS on the gsII? I've never seen any Samsung with decent GPS or signal.

GPS works fine. My wife prefers Samsungs and has the GSII. We've used her GPS several times around Savannah, GA and locally where we live and around Atlanta with no issue. Actually performed better than my Evo 3D at times.
It's more about what you like. I've had the hero, og evo, and now 3d. I still have a epic 4g I got for Christmas and my experience wasn't all that great with it until cm came along. I despise touchwiz although its getting better. Sense does make HTC phones run a little slower cause its a resource hog, but I just love sense. I suggest looking at both and deciding on what you are more comfortable with. Both the s3 and evo lte are great

HTC or Samsung GIII
I'd have to, IMO, that the HTC is worth staying with HTC. I too thought about switching over to the SGIII but in the end, I'm going to stick it out with HTC, as the EVO 3D was my first HTC device and I will say I'm a little disappointed with their support of the device. I'll give them another chance with the EVO 4G LTE and see what happens. After all, I plan on being a smart phone user for way more than the standard 2 yr contract and will switch devices in the future if need be.
HTC has great devices and I can't stand hearing "3d will not get ics"
It's been confirmed. There are processes that have to be done before it will be out. I have seen new phones coming out with ics yes, but how many older devices have gotten officially updated yet. My buddy with T-Mobile who still hasn't seen his update. People just don't have any patience. If your on xda u have the ability to run ics. Either do it or wait.

Um t-mobile gsII just got ics last night and where and when did Sprint Ever say the 3d was getting ics? I've been scouring the Web for months waiting for word and have never seen or heard Sprint officially say this. Correct me if I'm wrong.
