Is it me or is the evo 3d the most underrated phone ever? Phonedog, phonearena, etc. All have the photon being the better phone but there is no way this is possible. After reading many reviews i went to buy the Photon today thinking it was the all around better device... After purchasing i ended up returning it within hours. Not only was it faulty software wise, but also the build quality wasnt great either. Right when i got the phone home it had lag going from screen to screen, the evo 4g was more smooth honestly. Then it was lagging badly going in and out of text messages while vibrating randomly for no reason. I pulled the battery thinking it was just a one time glitch. Nope. It then just shut off in my hand and wouldnt turn on until i reinserted the battery. Now sure i could have just had a faulty Photon, but i doubt it because the store demo was very laggy as well... And by laggy i mean laggy for a super phone, just not smooth like the evo 3d for example. Being i was long time evo user i just said the hell with it and returned it for the evo 3d and havent looked back. So my question to you guys is, how much is Moto paying for these beastly reviews? Sure it may be a good phone (if not faulty) but even on build quality alone it cant touch the evo 3d.

I had the photon for a few days. The lag you see is just the speed of blur..... Lol I got used to it and actually liked the phone alot. After a few days though the screen really started to hurt my eyes. Seeing individual pixels and seeing the screen "dance" really started to bug me. Returned it to the corporate store and went to the third party store I always shop at and ordered it there.
The mopho would be a fantastic phone if it was vanilla or sense.

Pentile screen bug me, my buddy got it and he let me play with it for like 4 hours before he return it, watching youtube I couldn't stop staring at the damn little bar in the bottom(time line) - cause i would see pixel, for some reason is not the heavy, so it felt cheap(owning evo, evo 3d and iPhone 4) and lastly laggy in the launcher, i do like some features, like brighter screen and better speaker but i prefer to stay with my 3D better support and like 99% of the phone
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Yeah. I have the feeling many in media wanted to hate the phone for its 3d "gimmick" so they rearranged their "facts" to suit the prearranged outcome.
It's telling that many outlets failed to report root being obtained for the EVO 3D for example but many of them reported the photon's clumsy method of doing so.
It's also surprising that so many reviewers were quick to give the pentile display better marks than the super tft lcd on the EVO.

If you don't have an Evo3d well ...
I noticed the screen as well, but knowing it was pentile before hand it didnt bother me that much at all. Although when both screens in a dark viewing area the evo wins hands down. Another thing that bothers me about the Photon is how flimsy the back cover is, feel like youre going to break it everytime you have to rip it off (trust me youll have to do this a lot lol). Another thing that bothers me is the texture on the back of the phone, sure its nice looking at first but if not using a case this material attracts sweat marks and actually gets very dirty in time (same backing that was used on the razr 2 i believe it was) come to think of it, materials and color of the photon reminds me of a smartphone version of the sprint razr 2.

I went into the Sprint store the other day to check one out. It's a nice phone and all but i really dig sense UI and everything else just looks boring to me. Two things I liked over EVO was the kickstand and the docking feature. But the pc setup all has to be bought seperate, I don't think there is a micro SD slot(correct me if i am wrong), and like said it didn't seem to run as smooth.
I actually liked the build and look of it very much.

And when that comes out another phone will be announced as "coming soon" and it will be better, faster, stronger and sexier than the GSII and you should wait for that. Then when that comes out there will be another phone announced that will be even betterer, fasterer, and strongerer than this phone and you should wait for that, and then....it never stops. So basically, you should still be using a rotary house phone and not even have a cell phone until all technology stops progressing.
The good news is, with our current patent system in place, pretty soon technology WILL stop and the only phone you will ever get is the iPhone which Apple won't even have to bother updating anymore because no one else can make a phone anyway.

not to mention root will come with an unlocked bootloader, and a kickstand can be added via a case.
This is the most powerful phone I've ever owned. Speed and headroom are the most important, root will come soon enough now im just getting to know the stock veriosn of the 3D so when all the mods come, I can pick and choose the mods that fit me. Spend these unrooted moments to get to know the 3D before going hard in the paint with the mods. HTC is doing a great job addressing issues. I do miss the width and kickstand of the OG EVO but this phone is too powerful to go back. Hang in there with us.

from what i understand the features you miss arnt due to htc its due to the app devs screen size is about the same kickstand missing dont use mine and as far as stabability one of the downfalls of getting early phone
Screen size is definitely not the same. It's width is smaller and its longer. I don't think the phone is enough of an upgrade. They should have gone the route of the thunderbolt.

Or 512mb of RAM is better than 1Gb

What did u expect? A phone that is custom tailored to your needs... Some of you ignorant people saying "its not a big enough upgrade". Do not know what a upgrade is...

qhd means quarter high definition resolution, not the type of display. Which means it has exactly 1/4 the amount of pixels than full HD. The OG evo has a WVGA resoltuioin
theyre both lcd's. The evo 3d just a better one.
Other than the awesome camera, and slim unibody design, this Evo LTE really isn't that much better than my old Photon. I'll probably feel differently when LTE is live, but considering there's not even WiMax in Wisconsin, it wasn't that much of an upgrade.
However, Sprint made a mistake and said I was eligible for an upgrade 7 months into my 2 yr contract, and my charging port on the Photon broke...so I'm not really complaining
Basically, if it's time to upgrade, go for it...but if your phone is only a year old, or less, I'd wait - unless you're in a first wave LTE market.

I get what the op is saying about the not worth it if the phone you have is a yr old or less. He is one of the few people that obviously don't upgrade to every increment.
And that he liked his photon enough just like a lot on the 3d couldn't see the point in upgrading to this email phone. Now until we get some hd apps other then hulu the screen is nice. I netflix hd would be a improvement as well as hulu in hd. I have no clue what performance is like on the photon. When it came out it was full of lag. And besides he was giving his thoughts switching from one to another right place meh maybe he could have put it I will another thread bu yeab.

I defended Samsung because I didn't believe for a moment that the phone "randomly exploded". The idiot tried to claim it did, and got his ass handed to him when the Fire Department found out it had to do with microwave damage.

Well, that was depressing. The good news is that we will probably get a way better phone than the one seeing as the butterfly 2 is keeping its 5" display and probably Snapdragon 800 in that bad boy. That being said, even though the announcement was a let down, I'm kind of excited seeing as the buttefly 2 isn't restricted to keeping the same specs as the one. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

that was pathetic.
all i can say is that, despite not having pics of a verizon branded htc one, i've seen it. believe me or not, that's your choice...but yeah, i've seen proof that verizon will be getting the One...and i was hoping for a June/July release...but now after today not being the announcement, i'm kinda upset. bah!
I work for HTC as a field rep and they haven't told me anything about it.

ugh too far! but nice stuff. i met an HTC field rep a few months back, i forget his name, though. he was the first rep to ever visit my old store. i got into contact with HTC and literally a day later they sent a rep to my store..pretty awesome customer service.
They gave me a sprint HTC one and wow god awful service.... I just tether my DNA to it lol. After having the one I side with the one. Honestly feels so much more polished plus my HTC one is s-off !!

so i must confess...i caved about opened up a second line (its for my grandmother..i took the smartphone and put her on a basic one. lol) and got the S4...HTC has spoiled me. Just adding apps to my homescreen is annoying. the way the screen gets all small and theres crap all over the place. i guess its nice and all with the options and junk but htc keps it simple. folders alone are annoying...i have to click on create a folder then drag them into it vs just dragging apps over each other and auto creating it...the sound the s4 is capable of is sad...touchwiz is still lagging its phones, its not major but enough to annoy me. i dont get whats the big deal about this phone... debating to return it or just make money off it. Its only my first day with it and i want back to my DNA!! i might return it in hopes that the next htc phone is the One if not something better....
P.S.
Another reason i bought it is because HTC lost alot of big wigs and the comments that followed were not too positive about HTC's future...

Yea this may be a discussion for another thread entirely. I personally wasn't all that impressed with my one and only samsung device to date which was the GNexus. I've enjoyed my Droid X, Razr, Thunderbolt, and DNA way more then I liked it. After having my DNA I really don't mind missing out on the S4. Doesn't seem like it can offer much more then a little faster hardware. Which I feel like the DNA is pretty darn quick to begin with.
I really hope that HTC isn't on the spiral down. I though the Thunderbolt and DNA had pretty great build quality and it looked like it was on the up and up with the One. We had a pretty large discussion on why they're going the way they are and we kinda felt like it is from them screwing things up with Google and the whole Nexus line, turning their back on the modding community, and poor marketing.

they didnt announce any phones at CTIA. it was all a marketting plan or whatever u wanna call it. the Butterfly 2 is already in production and some stuff was leaked about how its in the works. Since the the first Butterfly was the DNA counterpart, that means the the Butterfly 2 thats suppose to be out in third qtr might show up a month after the butterfly 2 release. just google butterfly 2 and you'll see alot of posts about the leaks and rumors.
Played with a brand new s4 today my friend paid $742 for and its felt just like an s3. Dna is much better!

I really like the Evo branding, with the kickstand and stylized red & black body. My contract is up in 2014 Spring, so I hope they push out a new EVO line around that time.
Do you think there is sufficient chance Sprint will do this? :highfive:
Fingers crossed.

Hopefully they don't fail a second time by putting the charge port in a bad place preventing the kickstand from working while charging...epic fail for HTC designers on our LTEvo.

Evol line is dead I think. Just my opinion, but they should really focus on 1 high end brand/series which looks like the ONE

The charging port being where it's at makes using docks much much easier than it being on the bottom.
I, too, think that the EVO line is dead. Thus has been a debate ever since the One was in the works. We might get something that is like a new Evo, and I wouldn't doubt that somebody will say that "Xxxx Phone" is the new Evo.

Then why didn't they flip the kickstand? I knew you could do that, not rocket science, thanks anyways for your two sense. The angle at which the phone sits in reverse is lower than when the kickstand is used as designed, so it is not the same. I never said they should have put the charging port at "the bottom", HTC could have simply placed the kickstand in reverse to allow the phone to charge with the cable on top and docking could still work as most docking stations won't ever use the kickstand to assist in holding the phone on the docking station.

sort of expecting an announcement end of this year or beginning of next. If anyone remembers how sprint/HTC roll there is a top tier phone every 2 years with a decent device every other year. Evo og year one, year 2 evo 3d, year 3 evo lte, year 4 HTC one (though this is better than decent)....what's for year 5? Honestly I can't really imagine anything better than the ONE so soon but, stranger things have happened. I also can't see evo's being dead. Before the galaxies, evo was the top selling series of phones for sprint. Guess we can hypothesize all night long but those are my 2 cents.

I'm fine with that but seems to early since "leaked" pictures are rolling out everywhere. Plus HTC is pushing for re branding. Could be huge things in wake. I'm kind of getting excited. Desperate times for a company who can get their chit together rather than flopping, can potentially pull of some amazing feats to leave us drooling.
lets hope not

Heaven forbid! This version was buggy enough for 2 phones.
The Evo line has a bad rep.
This will be the last.
Dumbest thread I've ever seen. What the F does it matter what name a phone has.?!
If HTC sticks to One that would be good marketing. . this Evo line is BS
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
What does a name matter? Go all the way back to the OG. It was special compared to it's family members on other networks. They needed upgrades to match it. That's why it matters. That's also why the OG took off and is still holding on this long after going EOL. Not named EVO it won't be purchased by me.
For that I can say that I think I read back before the One released that dropping 2 different versions of the device was costing HTC to much so now it is intended that only 1 version will be created to encompass all carriers and One is the name they liked. But Sprint is really beginning to have a bad habit of not selling a lot of the better phones so who knows how much longer they will even sell HTC. Sucks pretty bad when I gotta give up Sprint just to get a BlackBerry. Don't hope for Nokia either and with the reports coming that Apple is dropping i5 and i4 and possibly even i4s from production you may not find them much longer either. HTC better do something great to save them.
Its not Sprint's fault HTC doesn't sell. How many commercials in comparison have you seen of anything Samsung versus HTC or advertisement in general? HTC in my opinion has much better products versus just about everyone else yet no one will agree because they don't advertise worth a damn. Word of mouth is all they've been for so many years. Yeah its sorta worked but Samsung kinda surpassed by a bit. Can't wait to see how this Downey Jr thing won't go. Think HTC is more or less making a fool out of themselves with their ways of promoting devices when they should get their s together and make a convicing argument to the average consumer looking to support a new device. Eh, my 2 pennies for the jar.
