It's just the American version of the S2, if you've got an S2 already, it's not exciting at all.
Sooo Pumped
Will be selling my EVO and buying this phone day one. It's thinner than the iPhone 4 and has a beastly dual core processor.
I have had my Evo for less than a year and it's the second HTC phone with which I have had issues. My EVO is a lemon, my screen goes blank for no reason, I can't get Handcent SMS to work at all, the ring is either too loud or too soft. My wife and several friends have EVOs and they have none of the issues I have. Tried to recreate the issues at a Sprint store and of course they don't happen. Anyway, this is great news for me.

Call customer service, if your having these issues (mostly the screen off) there is no reason they shouldn't swap it for you. That said sell your new one and have a GS2 shipper over early.
Anyone getting this on their evo3d? I get these intermittently with people outside the sprint network but now I get them ALL the time on our family plan with my family.
That makes no sense on why texts are delayed for hours when we are in the same house or miles down the road from each other on the same sprint plan. Has this issue been identified and fixed yet?
I am rooted running Titan HD and my wife has a galaxy s2 not rooted.
Yes mine is delayed often. I have google voice and have to check the website periodically to see if I got a text that my phone hasn't yet received. Kinda annoying.

my messages are very often delayed. my friends call me and ask if i received their sms. kind of sad.
Call and ask they check your towers. I get that if I'm roaming. Also gingerbread ghostly sms is an app that pulls delayed or un received messages for you. I used it allot on my Evo, but haven't on my 3d..

I'm having the problem with my texts randomly not being sent until hours or days later. My phone shows the time I actually sent it, but google voice shows the time the recipient actually gets it. I don't know of its sprint or google voice, but it doesn't seem to happen with another phone on my plan that doesn't use google voice.

Does anyone have this problem that isn't on Sprint? Reason I ask is that I just bought this phone and I'm hoping I won't have problems. I'm in the UK by the way, on Vodafone network.
When my wife first got her 3D it wouldn't get most of text messages, just prior to that Sprint sent us an AirRave to try because we had extremely weak signal at our house, once we returned the AirRave the text messages worked ok on the 3D.
Still a no go. That ghost sms doesnt help much either

It is most definitely the Sprint network problem and Verizon's problem while roaming on their network. We may be able to roam but they definitely dont give our traffic or calls any sort of priority. If I am roaming I will not only have messages not sent or received but calls dont even go through and I will just get a notification that I have a missed call at some point.
A verizon phone on Verizon network doesnt have this problem and ATT doesnt have this problem (hasnt for years). Only Sprint and sometimes TMobile have these issues.
I have narrowed it down a bit. I send a text via the stock messenger and I go online to GV and the text I sent is not there.
If I send a text from GV or WhatsApp then everything works as it should.
There seems to be some sort of miscommunication between the stock app and pushing it to GV
I've been having this problem for about ten days, but I'm on a cdma hero with Sprint. I've had Google Voice for about 2 months, but have never used it for sending sms. I only got to this thread because I've been on google trying to figure it out...
happens to me every few weeks.
i have GV on sprint.
randomly people will tell me they suddenly got 10 or so texts and suddenly the recent chat we had the day or two before make a whole lot more sense.
and i also get the random texts that never arrive to me that i can see on google voice though
So a couple of days ago I disabled Google Voice to troubleshoot, and I haven't had a single problem with sms since... The issue (for me at least) is in Voice forwarding my texts (since it unfortunately integrates with sms as well). I do like Voice as my voicemail service, so I'm thinking I will try to re-integrate Voice with my phone to see if it functions properly. I may get around to it tomorrow, and I'll post back a few days after using it with results when I do.
Ive been working with Verizon tech support to get my phones working with my network extender. Its going on 2 months now, and Verison support is now contacting Samsung to see what the problem can be. If this dosnt work, they said next possible step would be to change our phones. I doubt they will give is 4G phones, so what are your recomendations for a good 3G replacement that is not a motorola since the tech told me they have had problems with some motorolla phones working with the extendor.
I was looking at the Inctedible 2 but it only has 1.2 gb of internal storage, but does have more ram and is unlockable. Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ive heard nothing but good things about the Incredible 2. I cant imagine 1.2gb will be that big of a problem when you have access to almost 10 times that amount with an external sd card. I'd pull the trigger on that or the bionic, if you can pull it. (ps. you can get it, it has been done!!!)

+1 my girls got the INC2 running CM7 RC1 and it's AWESOME. Better then my X2 on CM7 RC0. Plus the INC2 is 100% getting ICS. I'd go with the INC2. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Sent from My Rooted MB870/DROID X2 Running CM7
as of right now, I am still waiting for this issue to be resolved. I wouldnt go with a bionic because the verizon support guy said that some motorollas have problems with the extenders. I have now been told by a verizon store rep that they might even replace it with an older 4g phone. So Im not sure what phones they would offer. I hope to hear from them soon.
Just incase anyone is wondering, after 3 days and 9 hours of a 3way conference call with me, Verizon, and Samsung I finally got Verizon to replace the X2's. They are giving us 2 HTC Rerounds. I'm very happy with what they are giving us. Cant wait to recieve them.

Probably because that thing is now $50. I'm hoping to try and get that as well. I heard you should buy a ext. battery for them as well. Any tips on how you got that?

You got it from Support like him?
Whats your secret XD
Verizon can suck my **** right now. I called into the tech support because I've been having really bad speaker issues. today only sounds like damn static also when my phone is connected to my home theater system. the audio will play fine over my bluetooth. they won't even seen me a ******* replacement. moron tells me to just do a factory reset and will be fine and then disconnects the call. I've never dropped my phone and it's never gotten wet. Since day one its been in a otter box defender case. This is really the first issue I've had with the phone. My phone has rebooted only like 4 or 5 total since I've had it (got it on release day). I've done the reset and still same issue. Tomorrow I guess I will just lie to the damn person and tell them that there are more issues than what's going on.

We tried thru twitter and facebook, i got no response from them. When i emailed ER the ball started to get rolling with tech support actually trying to resolve the issue. I finally got fed up with Verizon/Samsung over 8 hours of phone calls in 3 days that i said that i wanted a new device and that would be the only solution. I was patient, polite the whole time so I dont know if that played a part in getting the phones. I did have to extend my contract to go from the X2 to the 4G rezound, but i have no plans on leaving Verizon anyways so that wasnt a big issue. They also gave me a car dock for the Rezound as well.

Why was Samsung in the mix, do they provide the extender?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Yeah, Samsung makes the network extender. The X2's never worked properly with it. I think they took way too long changing settings, increasing the power and everything else with it. hopefully my Rezounds show up soon.

Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA
also try the ER email address i posted earlier in this thread. It took me a few days, but that might be because i emailed them on a friday evening.
Let me start by saying i've loved the Evo 4G LTE, but I cannot handle having my data connection cut out on the regular.
So, I called into Customer Care after reading about some others on here doing it, to get my 4G connectivity issue fixed once and for all. I explained my situation, and I was told to take it into a service center and they will verify that there is no physical/water damage, and they will discuss comparable phones with me.
I took it into the service center yesterday evening. I called about it today, and they told me that ,"It is connecting to 4G right now. But there are improvements being made to the towers, so it may be intermittent." I wasn't going to fall for this line and informed them that i'd like to switch over to a phone that gets a consistent connection. They gave me the standard crap about having to have 3 or 4 replacements before they'll consider another phone. They could order me a refurb EVO if i'd like. (This was all despite informing them what Customer Care had told me.) I got slightly rude because i was angry, but told her to order the phone.
I then called back into customer care, and they took care of me. She ordered me a Galaxy SIII over the phone.
Moral of the story, call into Customer Care and you should be able to get a replacement if the 4G LTE connectivity is an issue for you as well.
Cool story lol. Doesn't 4G connectivity issues mean 4G connectivity issues? Either way, see ya and thanks for your contributions!

Dude I get data disconnection all the time. I will have to toggle airplane mode just to get a signal and sometimes a reboot is required. Long did you have the EVO? Do you have insurance thru Sprint? What happened to your EVO? Everytime I've called Sprint they would make you do a factory reset and hell if I'm doing that. the disconnection happens maybe every other day for me.

Yep, that's the exact same problem I was having. From everything I've read on here, many EVO 4G LTE owners have the same issue. I got to the point where i was fed up with it though. I had that 2nd one for ~4 months. I've been on the EVO 4G LTE since mid October though.
Yes, I had the rip-off $11/month insurance through Sprint. After talking to customer care, they are going to send me an SIII and I will be mailing my EVO back to them. Picking it up from corporate repair store this afternoon after their "fix", which was basically telling me that it connects to 4G and work on the towers is the reason for intermittent connection.
Please update the OP once you get the SIII and tell us if its any improvement.
Im curious to know.
-Thanks

Will do. Many of my co-workers here in Chicago have SIII's and have an almost constant connection to 4G. I'll update my experience with it once I've used it for a few days
What do you think the odds are that HTC would give me a replacement device even after I unlocked thru HTCdev?

Looks like I'm screwed. If the data dropping was a constant issue then I'd file a claim with GoCare. It happens maybe every other day and if I send them my phone the odds this happens within the hour they determine something is wrong is very slim. That sucks tho because they told me I could possibly pay my $50 deductible and I could choose my replacement phone. I'd go Note 2 all the way!

I live in San Antonio, which has had LTE for a while now, and I've never had a problem connecting to LTE except in the building I work in. I'm on wifi at home, but if I don't have my wifi on, I don't have this problem...
..maybe it's not all of the phones, just some?
Anyway, I'd like an update too, from the OP in this thread, just to see what he thinks. New phones are coming out all the time, and I'd hate to switch when the one I've got is still pretty good.

Folks, I've posted this in the Samsung forums as well but just purchased a week old HTC One today and seem to be having the same issue. I am taking my ATT LTE sim out of my Iphone 4, but before doing that I sign out of my apple account and also turn off Imessage on my iphone, i'm still not getting text messages from my wifes Iphone nor a coworkers Iphone. Can someone chime in and maybe help me here a little. Does this take a little time to work or should it work instantly when I change sim cards from one phone to another? Any help at all would be appreciated to try to solve this issue. I just got a text from my brother in Cali and he has an android so it seems to be just the Iphones.
thank you all.
also, I just restored my iphone to stock and no luck yet getting texts from Iphones.
Make sure that they update your account and provision it for a htc phone vs iPhone.
