Is better Evo than desire S or?
I have find good deals for Evo in Croatia.
If you mean is the EVO3d better than the htc desire then yes. If you mean is the evo4g better than htc desire then yes as well.

I wouldn't buy Desire S. Let me tell you why.
I had Desire S sometime a year ago and It has this one annoying feature. When you grab the phone in landscape position one of your hands is exactly where the wifi antenna is. So your wifi reception drops a lot! My phone kept disconnecting itself from wireless networks. It was super annoying! And it wasn't just my phone. They gave me a new one as a warranty replacement with the same issue. And two friends of mine had Desire S as well and one of them got rid of it for the same reason as I (the second friend just doesn't use wifi ).
I have my new EVO 3D for a week now and it's nice large and powerfull phone with no problems with reception
Not all of DS having the same problem I guess..because mine is quite good..

That's crap because the EVO 3D clearly has a deathgrip issue too.

Ok, so I added my mom and transformed my single line 69.99 plan into a 129.99 Family Plan on May 9. I got her one of them Sanyo Vero phones (shes 65 and just want to make/receive calls). I currently have my Evo 4G, and I am fairly interested on one of those Evo 3D phones. So I am thinking that if the Evo 3D comes out before the 8th (and thus on my 30 day- return window for my mom's phone), can I go to the store and switch the Vero for an Evo 3D, and then switch the Evo 3D's number to my phone and the old Evo to my moms phone number?
I did bought my moms phone in Radio Shack, so if this is even possible, can I go to that same Radio Shack and do this or do I have to go to the Sprint store?

Im kinda confused about what you are exactly asking but
I take it you just bought your moms phone and are now wanting to return it within the 30 days for a evo 3d then switch the numbers from your evo to ur moms vero aka that u switched for the evo 3d
Well im from kentucky and last year i was wondering something like this i bought the hero and evo from the radio shack
Your answer: yes you have 30 days to return the phone vero that u bought and you can get the evo 3d you would just have to pay the price difference if there is one
Then when you get home just call 1800 sprint customer service and tell them you wanna switch numbers because your mom likes the evo better and u like the evo 3d better and they can just swap the numbers right over
Ps sorry for so much writing

You don't even need to call Sprint to change the numbers on the phone. You can go online to Sprint.com and just do it yourself once you have the phone you want.

Hi everyone,
I am getting ready to buy the Evo 4g lte, I have the Evo 3D now, and I was wondering if everybody still believes this is the best phone ever ;-).
I am a big fan of the Evo line but I also like what I see in the Galaxy SIII, I use my phone for personal and business reasons.
Any thoughts in this matter will be greatly appreciated
I have had my phone for over a month now. I have been pleased (greatly) by the performance of this phone. It has great speeds and battery life. It also pulls down a good connection from sprint. I was thinking of switching over to the Galaxy SIII and I just wasn't pleased by it. I didn't like the body so much. I thought that the screen colors were sort of milky, and the Evo pulls in a stronger signal. I would suggest using the Evo. You will be pleased with your choice. I hope I was of service.
I came from the 3d and this phone if soooooo amazing compared to the 3d, and I really liked the 3d
Thanks for your help!
Its a great phone just remember to use it wisely its an evo all of them are great
Hit the thanks button if i helped
Got the s3 immediately swapped for the lte evo,
The s3 is all hype ya it has S voice and more ram BUT EVO SUPPORTS THE SVOICE APK, so we have it too.. but ya the screen response was slow the signal on Samsung phones blows always has every Samsung I've owned had weak signal that's the first thing they need to acknowledge
Let me just tell u I had the one x on atat this is a duplicate device just sprints version called evo more less,and sealed battery was a concern but HTC Def did it correctly for the first time on their known battery drain issues. Better than I phone battery life.
It just simply doesn't drain.
Great device buy it don't get the s3
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Do a lot of reading before you jump to any device. An evo 3d rooted with a good rom is still a very strong device. I wouldn't buy a s3 or lte at full price, they are getting discounted rapidly. I also wouldn't buy out a contract at this point to get either of these phones, they are good but maybe not great as you will see if you read on these forums. Read, be polite, and absorb other peoples experiences. Spend your money wisely.
My nephew has an old Touch Pro 2 he is saving up funds to upgrade the phone on our plan and the EVO 3D is not an option anymore. Which phone would you get at this time and why?

If you really want the EVO 3D, even though it's slightly outdated, I'm sure if you call the carrier, you can get it.
Just ask them for the EVO 3D when you call and tell them you know they still have them somewhere.
Other than that, if you really want to stay with Sprint, go for the newest EVO. Stay with HTC and the EVO line.
Also, I was considering to get the new One X. I think AT&T has it down in the states? I'm not from the US.
If u are upgrading get the EVO LTE. WiMAX sux balls even when your in a good area. I get 7-9 mps WiMAX and hardly ever use it. WiFi is more stable. Till LTE gets to u u can use WiFi on it.

Over the last year I have been having many problems with my Evo 3d, I am on my 4th replacement device and even this one is having many problems. Today I went to my local Sprint store and as soon as I walked in they just said "Another one?" I was about to down grade to a different phone the options were , Samsung Galaxy Epic (Original galaxy s) and the original Evo 4g (wimax) but this time the rep told me that for some reason the HTC Evo 4G LTE was now a replacement that they could order for me, I dont know if it will work out in the end but I am hopeful.
Just thought this might be interesting to someone.
I went through the same crap. I LOVE my Evo 3D, but it's not what I use these days. I had to deal with a very rude 3rd party Sprint store that accused me of disassembling it. The mismatched screw is on all of the Evo 3D's I've ever seen. I'm now on Tmobile *not by choice* lol, and on the HTC One S. I have constant radio issues now, still on a quest for the perfect phone
A user on another site got a GS3 as his replacement.
That's what I was hoping for but I'll take what I can get
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yea, it's nothing to do with the phone itself, it's the company Sprint uses to "refurbish" their phones. When I had the original Evo 4g, I went through SEVEN refurbished phones, ALL of them had some MAJOR flaw, bad screen, bad pixels, vibrate not working, one came literally in two pieces (the screen wasnt glued/screwed down). I believe sprint's policy is if they have given you 3 refurbs, and you still are having problems, they will give you a brand new phone.
Now, do NOT accept a galaxy 1 or an evo 4g, those are downgrades. They HAVE to provide you with an equal or better phone. The 4g LTE or Galaxy s3 are probably the only two phones out now that are completely comparable.
I planned on taking my 3D to Sprint tomorrow because my digitizer is going out again. It also reboots on its own sometimes. 6-8 months ago i had a digitizer problem and they replaced the digitizer. 3-4 Months ago I had the reboot issue and all they did was restore it without even asking me first. Made me so mad!
I don't think I will be fortunate enough to get an SG3 or Evo LTE... But does anyone have any tips on getting it?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I've been through 8 total I think.... Bad screens, bad power buttons, one was literally about to fall apart. I went through their multiple device exchange and they could only offer me the 4g, epic, conquer, or the shift. I literally laughed at them and said I'll take my chances with another 3d. So here I am with horrible light bleed and a screen that actually makes sound when I press it back into the phone. F#ck sprint if this is how they treat their customers... Been with them for a decade, three lines, and have had tep for the last 5 years. I'm going to straight talk asap.

I think I'm going in to complain about constant reboots and demand a replacement. Hopefully, I too can come out with the evo lte.

So this is what happened. I work for Sprint and my manager hooked me up with an early Christmas gift. I had the EVO 3D and there was a time with Sprint where if you had a 3D and it had a malfunction they would replace it for you for free via the Exchange program for a EVO 4G LTE because there was a shortage of EVO 3D's. So he did that for me and bam I had an EVO 4G LTE. When the update came out I downloaded it excitedly and immediately after the download my phone has been frozen up. It will work temporarily if I do a simpull and then freeze again shortly after. I have done hard resets and cache wipes and I booted into the boatloader and reflashed the stock RUU (The PJIMG whatever it is) and it still does not work so I had my technician exchange it for me again and she offered me an S III instead via the exchange but I told her I still wanted an EVO...
I've been with HTC since the HTC Hero and always loved it. Did I make a bad choice though? Should I have instead gone with the S III? What do yall think?
TL;DR I had some problems with JB and have to have my phone exchanged and my technician offered me an S3 but I told her I want an EVO again did I make a bad decision.
I don't think you made a bad decision. You obviously prefer ht over Samsung. The evo and the s3 Have pretty similar specs. As long as you don't start having issues with the new evo, you made the right decision.
Yeah I just guess now my tech has got me worried that this new phone is gonna be messed up too. But TBH I think that the issue didn't sit so much with the software itself but the fact that the phone was a refurbished device and obviously had issues before.
But I loved my new EVO in the short time I had it. I just see some people here are so adamant about wanting to swap their EVO's for the S3 by any means.
i've been with htc since the touch pro, then OG Evo, now EVO LTE... I really like the EVO LTE, It's fast and handles pretty much anything I throw at it.... the few bugs it has are just really annoying... I'm stock with latest OTA at the moment. The new OTA made LTE connectivity better, but it also introduced a few new bugs... the hardware is great, i'm just not crazy with the stock software...
If I could do it all over again, I probably would have tried the S3 instead of the EVO.... I had no idea the S3 would become as popular as it has...

Sprint never offered the LTE for a malfunctioning 3D. If they did then I wouldn't have had to pay for mine after the 8th 3D stopped working and all they would offer me is an OG Evo or some garbage Samsung. This is one reason Sprint customer service is pure JUNK. The lies, the constant changes in policy, the rudeness, and favoritism. You liked the hero? The worst smartphone ever made? I almost got a flipphone after my experience with the 'hero.' Anyway, I would've went with the S3. Only because I'm sick of HTC and Sense.

I agree about the exchange. Never is a device replaced that way. If they do you are lucky I guess. Evo got replaced with 3d or photon because with that flagship they really didn't have anything on the same level at the time. 3ds and Photons are normally switched for each other and if your lucky they will give the s2 or Galaxy Nexus. What I'm trying to say is no way does a normal customer off the street walk in with a 3d and exchange for a LTE. There are to many lower end devices with its specs to replace it with. You Boss really did bless you for Christmas! The onley other way I can figure is many Sprint has an exchange agreement with HTC.

So you're saying you would have gotten the SIII if you knew it would be so popular. what other people buy is what informs your preference? I really hope that's not what you're saying, because that's really sad and misguided, and kind of, well.... I just won't say.

No you didn't make the wrong decision. Stick with the Evo 4G LTE. Remember YOU messed the phone up by whatever method you performed upgrading to JellyBean. Yes it has a few issues but what phone doesn't. My daughter has the SIII and I got to play around with it for a few hours. Im sorry but I still like the Evo better.
PS How did you not know the SIII was gonna be so popular? It was and still is the most widely advertised phone out there. And also you can't go by what is popular, just because it is popular doesn't make it a good phone by all means.

Thanks for the snide comment. I'm sorry I didnt explain my point well enough. When you have two android phones that are almost identical spec-wise (EVO LTE & SIII) ... I'm going to want the one with a larger user base.... because generally speaking more users means more development for the device... since I do plan on rooting my phone eventually. If I am incorrect by stating this, then I apologize.
When I bought the EVO LTE launch day I compared it to the SIII and since they were so close spec-wise, I went with HTC because of my good past experience with HTC phones.

Someone sounds angry. And it wasn't a formal policy. Just something that could be done depending on the situation and if the evo 3d was in stock at the time of your issue. As well as if you were pleasant to the rep or a jerk...

Also the more popular device gets more accessories.
But i still like the Evo a lot.

So no offense to all of you but you're basically all wrong.... YES in November they did have that offer at our store because of an issue with the EVO 3D's and replacing them so they offered something comparable and since they can't go back to the first EVO they sent out an EVO 4G LTE to me. That's how I got my phone and that's how my manager got one as well. So it was a legitimate program. I work for Sprint okay so don't try to big league me here bro I think I know what I'm talking about.
And I have always been stock so my phone wasn't messed up by my own tweaking with it. I simply downloaded the OTA update on the 13th and it killed my phone. I wouldn't say that's my fault. But regardless the replacement is on its way so stop hating.
Stop turning my topic into self-loathing because you're not happy with the choices you made in your life...

Not to gloat - just setting the record straight here. My local repair center exchanged my 3D for a LTE. I know it's not common, but it happens.
Just sayen.
I think you have the better phone. I much prefer the HTC build and the super lcd2 to the amoled screen on the Sammy.

To the people saying that phones are never replaced with greater phones. I had my og evo and towards the eol of the phone they started replacing the phones for free for a 3d. No contract extension or anything. See mah thread here
I've had my Mogul replaced with an HTC Touch & my Touch for a Touch Diamond.
Even way back when, it was possible. My experience each time, was in-store

Well I'm glad I have people here who agree with me and who also had pleasant replacement experiences. But hey I got my new EVO in and it's working great no issues so far I updated to JB at the store to make sure. ALL ACES HERE!!
People say the s3 is better because it has sold more more units. I dont get this because a evo lte is only on sprint, so of course it hasnt sold as many units as a phone on every carrier. Screen, build quality, and sense keeps the evo in my hands.
