Hi i have the chance to get rid of the tbolt and switch to the Droid charge while making $150 also, would you do it or stick with the Thunderbolt
Sent from my Infected HTC Thunderbolt using XDA App
Id say it depends if you're a ROM/Tweaking junkie or not. The Charge doesnt have near the Dev support that the Tbolt has. Its a fine phone though.
I'm on the same boat, mainly for the hdmi and battery life.. I'm not sure to make the swap or not

512 RAM....512 ROM....The Droid Charge will be a nice piece of machinery. I was initially going to get the "Charge" but stuck with my gut instinct. It pretty much is a personal preference. I find that a lot of Dev's are out there for the Thunderbolt (which finalized my decision). Go with your gut, it's going to be a solid phone either way.
For some reason the Dev's for Verizon carried phones never really flocked to the Samsung phones, its just the way it is.

If you don't care about custom roms, the Charge might be better for you. Better battery, better screen (imo). But don't hold your breath waiting for updates from Samsung.
But remember SGS2 is coming soon. If it does LTE, I'll proly sell my TB and get one. You can bet SGS2 dev'ing won't languish like the Charge

The Thunderbolt has 768MB of RAM as opposed to the Charge with 384MB. According to several reviews the Charge has problems with flash heavy sites while the Thunderbolt handles them just fine due to the extra RAM.
Hello everyone. Loved my EVO 4g but it broke and Asurion sent me a brand new 3d. Feel sad leaving the OG EVO but glad to have a new phone. The phone came with hboot 1.30 and it keeps trying to get me to take an ota update but I decline because I'm not sure about what can and can't be rooted. Gonna root tonight so any advice or ROM suggestions? Any sense 3.5 roms that have working 3d? Thanks

You got super lucky getting a new one with hboot 1.30. What ever you do, don't take the ota! Use alpharevx's root method and you'll be good to go. Its painless! As far as working 3d on 3.5, I have no clue. Just take a gander in the dev section at the 3.5 roms. Good luck and enjoy the new phone!

I got spoiled on CM7, decks, ect. where i could go 48hrs between charging. Also, watch a entire 2 hour movie & have my battery drop 2%. haha
Battery sucks to me. Im on constant airplane mode and only get about 15hours moderate-heavy usage. Plus theres nothing but Sense Roms right now. I miss my kickstand, the dedicated hdmi port, the number of Kernels and Roms. I do like my screen resolution and dual core overclocking much more.

Dont believe that. Sorry. I run my videos on 100% brightness. With that guys phone, it should still drain atleast 30% in 2 hours from screen on time. Unless his kernel loved his phone.

I just had the pleasure of getting an evo3d also after my evo broke. This phone is a beast. I will miss my evo, but I got an hboot 1.30 And rooted right away. I feel intimidated by some of the settings on some of the Roms but that never stopped me b4, lol
Theres not a phone made that can watch a 2 hour movie on 2% drop. I wish people would stop with the tall tales. Ii would consider 15 hours heavy/mod use very good. I think evo owners are just spoiled.

Every evo has sucked the balls on battery life.....2% percent drop after a two hour movie? he should be banned for spreading that nonsense...I see no difference in battery life between my og evo and this..both are below average..I had an iPhone for a week and that wasn't good either...if you browse the Web on your phone, you are screwed

Viper Rom
I'd highly suggest trying out Viper Rom for HTC EVO 3D. I've been this since RC 1.2 and they just released Redline V2. Pretty sweet. Pretty good battery life, custom kernels will let you overclock/underclock as well as undervolt on this rom. The devs are super responsive and put alot of hard work into this rom. Check it out! (There are a ton of features in the latest builds, but it's best to check out yourself to see which features interest you most)
Is it just me who notices that the evo doesn't really multi task well? When ever I jump back to an app using the recent apps button the app reloads or refreshes. For example I'm playing a game, pause the game, shoot a few texts, check my email, come back to the game and it restarts. Bte I'm not rooted and have just installed the latest update. Thank you much.

Can't speak for sense 4.1, but 4.0 butchered multi tasking. It greatly limits the amount of simultaneous processes running in the background. I could not go back to sense at this point.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
There are already a few threads about this, also from the Q&A sticky at the top of this very forum:
Racer Of All said:
Q: Multitasking does not work like in previous phones, why?
A: Pretty much the phone kills applications off relatively quickly. Most ROMs have addressed this issue and you should receive better multitasking while running them. If you do not want to run a ROM a fix some people found is to go into settings> developer options scroll to the bottom and select "At most 4 processes" under Background process limit.

So no, there's no real fix for sense based ROMs. Most of the ROMs help alleviate this issue but none outright fix it. HTC also claims that this is their intended behavior and that there is no issue with multitasking, so don't expect an official fix from them.
AOSP or CM10 is your only current option.

Sounds like the developer option/fix will drain battery. Do you guys know if the sg3 multi-task better than the evo? I just picked up the phone and still experimenting on it. If all goes well ill keep the phone. So far I like everything. To me, the cons are battery and multitasking.
Otherwise everything else is great.

The phone will outlive the battery. I've had my og evo for 2.5 years. The oem battery doesn't last more than 4 hours anymore. Thank goodness for the gorilla battery, it made my og evo last longer and feel new again. Otherwise I woulda jumped on the 3d or design. Glad I didn't.

Its not really so much the phones ability to multi task as it is the software... as already stated, running cm10 multitasking is phenomenal however running sense 4 multitasking is terrible. Basically, the phone has the ability to multitask however HTC kinda screwed us on that on sense 4

Go and flash my ROM and you'll see that surely it lasts more than that. Unless your using it heavily. If you used your amaze heavily for that amount of time then I would say you have fairly decent battery.

the only difference is the CPU stepping, a smidge bigger battery (which will last the same time for the bigger screen), a bigger screen.
Although the CPU is a S2 there really is no difference in the two. GPS does go out on some Thunderbolt's. CM10.1 is JB; I and a couple
more devs are working on it right now, though CM9 isn't even fully working. which is ICS. If you have S-OFF AND full root then you will
have great fun with it. The Thunderbolt won't disappoint... I have played with both and they are just as fast... I say go for it!
oh with dual 3G radios you cannot go wrong :b
Also what do u think about the rezound I can get one of those for under 130$ is it better ?

I say dont get the tb. Its old outdated and runs hot enough to keep your pocket warm on a cold day. If u look around a bit more a 100 bucks will take you a bit farther then the tb. Being as it was the first real 4g phone it has quite a few issues. Data stalls being a major flaw in the device. I had 4 in my house hold. And htc chased me right over to samsung. Its was good in its day but so was commodore 64 but u wont see anyone using one

even over-clocked and using it for constant radio (BT) streaming it never got warm on me.
I was running ICS Bliss on it... which isn't released yet but hey....
I had the bolt and it never ran hot unless I was charging it and running tethering at the same time. if the phone was running hot all the time you either had the governor set to performance or you had a bad battery. I have the rezound now and loads better over the bolt. so get that over the bolt you won't be sorry. the only thing the bolt had over the rezoind was it was so easy to unlock and get s off. even with the latest boot loader update the bolt got its still easier. with the resound to get s off you have to do the wire trick.
you can look on swappa for phones as many people buys them on there.

I had a thunderbolt before getting a S3 and there are times I miss the bolt. I had great luck with each ROM (SOAB, Thunder Shed, and Santod's ICS Eternity. Heck, I would have loved trying his new Bliss ROM. If you decide you want a bolt and I can figure out how to clear mine I can sell you it with an OEM and Rezound battery, a couple of cases (including a PowerSkin case) for $100. I have been hanging on to it in case a developer needed it, so no worries if you would prefer the Rezound.
