I've been contemplating between Sensation and Amaze for quite some time now....Amaze has lot of +++ over Sensation no doubt, but no S OFF is big minus
Anyway, just was wondering if Amaze has better Data speeds than sensation in reality also, if anyone having both phone can suggest ? Theoretically, I know it should but it is also practically
Well my friend has the sensation and here RARELY hit 10mbps, (sometimes a little higher but at its highest peak). I EASILY get 12-15mbps with peaks of 20-25. Huge difference. I honestly say if your a flashaholic go with the sensation, even though the amaze beats the sensation in every category (style&looks is opinionated)

Thanks for the reply...i am coming from HTC HD2 that makes the decision even harder
Amaze is better at everything except for this and weight, I guess...
The thing is Amaze is what the original sensation should have been...though I made up my mind, I will go with Amaze coz of better camera, data speed,no death grip issue and minimal price difference. There is also CPU and RAM but that I think would negate if I put CM7/9 on sensation. The other differences are just too many to overlook now over.
Sense UI is ok except I will ICS for now, hopefully HTC will take care of that too soon
No ics from HTC anytime soon. But custom roms yes. There might not be tons of people in the amaze section but I've seen many many people help others
I actually like the thickness from the amaze I also have a trident case on my which makes it way thicker. Youll LOVE your amaze especially coming from your hd2

I get 17Mbps easy here during the day. A bit faster late night. I almost bought the sensation instead. The t-mobile clerk at the Peoria, IL store was very blunt.. Told me not to.. i will regret it. (This was before the at&t merger was denied.). I ponied up the money for the amaze 4g thinking if the at&t merger does go through (or even if it doesn't) the amaze supports at&t's 850mhz and 1900mhz HSPA+ band. Failsafe. I don't think the sensation supports 850mhz HSPA+ (per the clerks info)

First off this isn't a post dogging on the evo. I want to make it clear that I love my evo to death. Now I am just curious to know if anyone will be going out and getting the photon? The specs aren't too bad and it looks like it could be a pretty solid phone. My wife is actually do for an upgrade so I might get her it and steal it for a bit.
Anyone else thinking of purchasing or maybe even trading in your evo for the photon?

I am returning my evo 3D for Photon 4G, spec is about the same but it has dual networks CDMA and GSM, this is all in one phone, it is kind of convenience when we travel to GSM country, just pop prepaid GSM card and ready to go. I also hope that Motorola phone has a better signal. Forget to mention, kickstand is a plus.
Yes, Sprint gave me my EVO 3D and I will purchase the photon when it comes out. I miss my kickstand and the 3D function really does hurt my eyes. I know I don't have to use it. but the dual camera kind of annoys me since its so big.
Yeah I have to agree an android world phone that's that ish... the evo 3d is a nice gimmick but that's it I just hope we can get asop roms running this like asap

I was looking at tmo website today and noticed that Amaze is cheaper than mytouch 4g slide. Look at the image attached. Wth? I have both the phones and as you know amaze is way better that mytouch 4g slide. Do you think this is just a mistake on tmo part or are they really trying to get rid of amaze?
Probably just trying to clear out their stock of the amaze before the one series drops

Thats what I thought but aren't they trying to clear out mt4gs as well? MT4GS might not even get ICS. Very weird IMO.
Anything the Sensation gets the MT4GS can get too by porting.
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.

Yep turns out the sales for the Amaze were pretty horrid compared to what they were expecting. Another reason why T-Mobile and HTC carry so few accessories. Not to mention all the returns from bleeding and other issues. They probably lost a crapton of money on this model =(
UPDATE: Amaze is now free with a new 2 yr contract. Mytouch 4g is at $100 and mytouch 4g slide at $200.
how many of us EVO 3d owners were gonna switch to the phones in the title, im gsm and lte wont be hitting the uk (like the evo 3d wasnt)
UNTIL ICS WAS LEAKED
and then changed there mind, deciding, the EVO still has life left in the old baby yet
I'll still be upgrading

I'll be pre ordering the LTE for sure. I upgrade once a year no matter what.

honestly the best way to use an upgrade is on a iPhone (if you like them), because sprint devices drop value after 2-3 months you could pick one up used for contract price from craigslist

That's not a bad idea. Get the iPhone for contract price. Sell it for way more. Buy a used Evo LTE. Then keep the profit.

I'm still going to preorder the LTE but if Newt gets his Rom running 100percent I may keep my 3d

HTC has announced that the One X won't be unlockable on AT&T. If they don't allow unlocking on Sprint, how will that affect your decision? I'm sure a dev or three will eventually find a hole and give us a root method, but I'm sure it won't be easy and may be a good bit of a wait.
Yes that's a good point. If it cannot be unlocked, I'll keep my 3d.

I'll be ordering mine in 20 hours 18 mins and 15 seconds
HTC really shot themselves in the foot, not that im complaining
Still getting the EVO LTE the EVO 3d is good and has life but its missing something what idk
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
the evo 3d is still good, not the best phone possible obviously but more than "good enough" with this update, I dont think that I will upgrade at least for six months more, probably next year.
my money now will go toward a new tablet instead of a new phone.
ICS is nice but the New Camera, Kickstand, S4 Krait, 16GB, HD Voice, LTE, NFC and Sense 4.0 with the new EVO is really tempting.
If anything, ICS/Sense 3.6 made my 3D go up in value.
I'm going to need a Sprint leak or final before I actually sell though. Can't roam with the current VM leak.

I think Agrabren mentioned something about finding an exploit in the S4 chip and stated that REVOLUTIONARY will only support qualcom chips. We should be in good shape with or without HTC's unlock, though I doubt Sprint will restrict unlocking.
Think I'm going to wait for the s3 i love sense but I'm tired of HTC the so called flagship phones come out with a bang then in 3 months or less they are forgotten look at the 3d and rezound
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The OneX is unlockable even on AT&T. HTC announced they understood that customers were very upset that they could not unlock their devices and decided to make all new phones since the 3d, unlockable. As far as sense3.6, I'm not that excited about it. Sense 4.0 is still way much better. I'm going to get the OneX when it comes to sprint in June. But the name is going to be changed, adding it to the evo family. I hear its suppose to be the best evo yet, even topping the Evo4g LTE. I'm excited.

When the OneX joins Sprints Evo family, its said to have removeable SD unlike AT&T version. As for the removeable battery, I'm sure there is a way, there is ALWAYS a way.

Moving to Solavei/Tmobile soon and don't want to spend a fortune. What's a phone that is at least a lateral move to the 3D and a good price to pay for a used one? Trying to stay around $300-$400. I can get a used Iphone 4S for about $375 which is tempting but have heard it is a huge step down? My main uses are gmail, flash video, and surfing.

If you're staying with Sprint, then the evo lte.

Most definitely the Sensation, only differences are that the sensation has a slightly concave screen and a slightly smaller battery capacity

Yes I'm staying with Sprint but.......regardless of the carrier, what is the new phone to get. Like when the 3D was coming out?????
Isnt the Evo LTE the same but it has the LTE connection speed?

From what I hear, the lte is faster, better camera, etc. It also has sense 4.
I've heard that the razr max is great on Verizon and had awesome battery for a smartphone.

Sensation also has less RAM.
EVO LTE runs on dual core Qualcomm S4 (krait) while EVO 3d runs on S3 which is a lot slower than the S4 also there is more usable RAM on LTE

YOU SIR....have sold me on the EVO LTE....good job. Looks like I know what I'm getting....LOL
And from what I remember theres dual channel RAM in the new EVO with higher clock frequencies.
P.s ....The quad core galaxy s3 might be a better choice over EVO LTE .
IMHO if you are sprint get the galaxy s3 though it is dual core (same as EVO LTE ) it has twice the ram.
Also the adreno 225 GPU supports DirectX 9 (dont know about adreno 220) so it will be able to run win 8 in some way.
So my upgrade on my EVO 3D comes up tomorrow, I was going to get one of the free phones on my upgrade. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for which one I should get. Heres what I've been leaning towards.
Samsung Galaxy S III:
+Good phone, I know people that have them and they aren't bad
-No LTE, I use my phone network for a lot of things.
HTC Evo 4G LTE:
+Going from an EVO to an EVO is good right?
-Worried about the battery life, I got hurt by my 3D and don't want to see it go that way again.
Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE:
+Full Keyboard; Also had an Atrix before my 3D, so I'm used to motorolas bass ackwards rooting and hacking and whatnot
-From what I can tell the screen is really crappy. Does anyone know if this is true?
Is there something that I'm missing out on as far as free sprint phones goes? What do you guys suggest?
Ive came away from htc and went for a samsung s3 and I can honestly say im really happy with it plus rooting is easy all the roms are good and battery life in some are awesome. The only thing I miss from htc phones is the clock with the weather changing on the phone
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I wouldn't recommend Motorola Photon Q.
So try deciding between Galaxy S3 or Evo 4G LTE.
In your place i would choose S3 as many people have it thus greater support on XDA but if connectivity on LTE means much more than that then go with HTC Evo 4G LTE.
Or simply, flip a coin. Not because the coin will choose for you, but because, in that split second, you'll know what side you want it to fall on.

lol, I've been leaning more towards the S3 already. Does anyone know what kind of speed difference I would possibly see in the San Diego area? Also, would it be worth it for me to wait till I have some extra cash? Is the S4 a big improvement? Or is there something else worth it?
If I had the opportunity I would jump to s3. The phone is better than the other two all round and the support is better too.

The LTE connectivity in the EVO LTE sucks donkey butt. It won't connect in places were my GS3 connects with no issue. Supposedly the One has the same problem too.
