While we're waiting for our phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the Evo, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.
New EVO LTE feature just announced!
I just received my EVO LTE today, It seems that it was shipped with the new stealth invisibility feature enabled by default...Nice feature, huh?

Now that is going to be awesome!!
Is there any writer, reporter here in XDA to start a petition or something so we can ALL sign. Don't you guys think it would be a great IDEA to voice it out our opinions? I am just thinking how big XDA network is, Dev's who started from here still on Android now have there own site can always get the word to them as well..
Can someone call this Guys already

saw it. watch them all here every week. What I thought was funnier was the phone they were using in the Speed social media center(social garage) was the Samsung Epic 4G Touch...least thats what it looked like when R. Wood was showing off the Nascar app....Found it real interesting they didn't give him an EVOLTE to use....esp if they had a ton of signage for it...

lol, I've been preparing for this moment for a long time
My ex old lady used to always say she thought I was psychic afterall, or was it psycho.. don't remember
I've been having problems with my OG Evo for like a month now. I didn't know about the charge dock problems even though I'm always here flashing new roms. I was anxiously waiting for the new one and then all of this happened. For a while, I was seriously considering cancelling my order but then I realized that that would be a win for Apple and I could not contribute to their gain. I decided to wait patiently for my phone.
In terms of the patent I think its BS, and this is coming from a software engineer. I don't want to go deep into that discussion but working with code is a whole different ballgame.
In terms of the whole GS3 vs. EvoLTE vs. iPhone5 thing, I think both the GS3 and the EvoLTE are good phones. I don't know much about the iphone5 specs yet. What I can say is that apple products are not that unarguably better overall for them to have so much money and crazy fanboys right now.
The best apple product was the iPod by far. It revolutionized the industry. Everything else from there has come off branding. You can argue about the OG iPhone and iPad being nice too but that feels like a century ago. Like I said, everything else is marketing. Its funny people buying expensive macs just to log in to facebook and serious customers run parallel half of the time to use windows programs.
Right now, we have competition and we have android developers working their a** off to get a small share of the pie and that's why I can't cancel my order. After I read this, I was shocked by how this blind fanaticism is hurting the industry around the world. I don't wanna be a part of that. Like I said, some Apple products are great, but they are not unarguably so ahead of the curve for them to be squashing everyone that easy. My two cents...

How sad is it knowing that with it now being June 4th (at least here on the east coast) we still don't have our EVO 3D like the first rumor said? I should be camping outside my Sprint store waiting for them to open at 9am.
Ok now let the flamming begin! I'm just bored and it crossed my mind that today should've been the day :/

Christmas is June is always awesome! Finally get a present for myself instead of for others lol. Although I don't know about being worried that the places will run out of phones. I remember par year when I went to get my EVO the waiting list was 3 months, and that was for the people that did pre order. The ones that didn't had a longer wait. I ended up called Sprint and they had one to my house within a week. But when I pre ordered my E3D I was second on the list and I just did it Thursday. And I've read that others are on the top of the list and there detente a lot of people on the list. That's kinda got me worried about how well the phone may do.

No, they can just delete the whole goddamned section.
"HTC Evo," as a branding, must have really worked out. The Evo4G section (during pre-launch) was nowhere near as fncked up IRT all of the dupe threads and crazy ranting and impatience...I suppose HTC did real good in that regard.
As has been expressed many other times by many other people (and I won't open a new thread to say it): I can't wait for the goddamned thing to be released so the Development section can get fired up and I can hang out in there again.
I never visited Q&A for the 4G once it was released. I can only imagine that the dev community will be at LEAST as thriving as the 4G's considering the unlocked bootloader and the massive amount of interest that seems apparent given the flooding on the Q&A section with obvious noobs.
I know man, i'm with you. I cried a little inside, this morning.
I never even got the HTC EVO, i'm still running the Touch Pro 2 on windows mobile. Can you say slow?
Think how excited i am for this thing to come out!

I'll cry on June 24th. That release date was way too much of pipe dream. Anyone that got their hopes up was just asking for a let down. It was way too soon after pre orders. If June 24th comes and I don't have my Evo from Radio Shack, thats when I take my week vacation from work, stuff my ass like a bear in winter and go into hibernation. Yep.. Thats the plan.
Anyone thinking of jumping to the new bb 9850? Just curious

Doubt it It looks nice but no potential compare to the evo, btw get your shield I smell some trolls coming soon and they might flame you
kind of backwards to go to a blackberry, unless you really need the security... and its not worth updating to a bb until the new OS comes out since OS7 is pretty much a dead end.
Yeah, thanks for The responses would never leave my evo.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
hell no! I was a LOYAL crackberry user for YEARS.. I always said I would never use anything except a BB... when I was thinking of making the switch to Android I was REALLY REALLY nervous and hesitant about it since I loved my BB so much... the first Android phone I had was the G2, then the myTouch 4G, then the G2x, then the Sensation, now the Evo 3d... after the first 5 minutes I was hooked.. and I only missed my BB a teeny tiny bit the first few days (the things I missed most were the physical keyboard and spell check in every single input field) but once I experienced Android there was no going back to BB EVER...
its not jumping its more like falling
im jumping to bb 9930 but the lack of it no hotspot and i need that

Actually I didn't but now that you bring it up I think I will. Yep mad.. I mean why bring this to the 3D thread does any one actually think that a 3D owner would switch to a BB. Get real. Maybe the main android thread would be a better place for this. I don't know of any 3D owners jumping ship to another phone especially a BB. We currently own one of the best (one of the best) phones on the market. No BB is going to take its place.

Preach on my man! I had a bb loaned to me while I was waiting for the 3d to drop and I ended up buying a old hero off craigslist for the meantime, so I actually spent extra so i wouldn't fall asleep trying to check Facebook.

Hi all. I currently have an HTC EVO 4G but it is starting to give out on me. Things like the wake/sleep button is slowly descending into the phone and the charging jack not working correctly. Anyway I was wondering if anyone was selling their EVO 3D I figure might as well buy the 3D and move on from the 4G. Thank you
3D pics are amazing for showing relation.
Fantastic idea.
I, myself, am not selling but there are many sites that have it for a cool $50 with a contract, new or upgrade.
Three sentence review: My evo3d is super fast, no lag or stuttering like with the one android device people think is the end all.
I say do it! I went from the nexus s 4g to the 3d(evo4g before nexus) and im never disappointed with the performance.
why dont u look in the marketplace??? thats where u will find people selling phones..

I got a new job that came with a company car and an iPhone.
I am very happy about the car, the iphone not so much. I gave the iPhone fare chance (3 weeks) before deciding that I officially hate it. I have decided that I will be keeping my personal line (Evo 3D) and only use the iPhone for business stuff. I really don't see what the obsession is with the iPhone. IMO the iPhone 4s is crap when compared to my Evo 3D. The only thing that I like about it is that it feels like a solid phone, I don't think it could withstand a drop all to well though.
When I went into the apple store to buy a case for my iPhone this weekend the person asked me how long have I owned this iPhone for and I told her about 3 weeks. She then asked me how do I like it and being the honest person that I am I told her that its the biggest pos on the market right now and if I would have spent my own money on it I would have returned it the first day. I don't think that she expected to get an answer like that because she had a look on her face like I just shot her entire family. Needless to say she didn't help me pick out my case.
Question for anyone thats ever been in an apple store, doesnt it feel like you just walked into a cult. These people are like mindless sheep just grazing on the BS that is apple. I don't think I ever want to go back. Well that the end of my book.

Regardless of where i shop if a person in retail is nice to me i try to be nice back. Dealing with the public is difficult and i'm glad i don't do it anymore. You were an ass and should go back and apologize.

No a simple it's not for me would have been fine. It's the biggest pos is overkill. The girl didn't build the phone,design the phone, or is tim cooks sister. She probably makes 10 bucks an hour and has a boss breathing down her neck about being nice to people. It's the same in any store be it a fruit product or an android product, or mcdonalds.

You know he may not have said the actual words or even pos.to the person people do change stories to make them more dramatic even if they don't mean to hell he could have said its junk but put pos to give us a laugh. Also if she's making 10 a he at a iPhone store then I'm doing something wrong being a vet and making 10 a hr. I have worked in a grocery store as well and I understand the customer.thing but I NEVER ever expect someone to say I'm sorry for crap. Why because if they are rude to begin with I know they won't say sorry because people are selfish manors are a thing.of the past sadly for most people.

*here I'll go back and say something.
Only people I recommend iPhone to is those that aren't very tech savy because as long as they can tap icons they can work an iPhone. I can't have a phone with so much user limitations as the iPhone.
I remember one day I was with a few friends having dinner. Total of about 12 phones. 5 of them were androids.. Nobody's android phone looked the same physically and the homescreens were all nice and customized. The iPhone users were about 7 and they all looked the same. Most even had the same wallpaper. Reassured my love for Android.
I have nothing against apple.. It's just not for me.

No a simple it's not for me would have been fine. It's the biggest pos is overkill. The girl didn't build the phone,design the phone, or is tim cooks sister. She probably makes 10 bucks an hour and has a boss breathing down her neck about being nice to people. It's the same in any store be it a fruit product or an android product, or mcdonalds.

Either way, people choose (directly or indirectly) to work in those jobs. They knew the risks of dealing with the public.
About 80-90% of everyone in the general public is an asshole. You gotta be able to take a joke when you work food service or retail.

I just got an iPhone 4 for work. I was hoping that they would do anything Android but no. After jailbreaking it isn't the worst thing in the world... Not for free anyway.

I once went into an apple shop to have a look at the Iphone 4 when it came out.
Someone came over and asked how i was finding it, I said I prefer Android phones.
He then said "No-one ever says the "A" word here".... Made me laugh

Lol. When I went to pick out my first smart phone it was between the iPhone 4 and the HTC evo. I had done all the research and it came time to actually go to the store and look at the time. I was honestly going into it with an open mind after putting my apple hatred aside. I looked at the iPhone first and while it did have a very nice design, it just felt so boring. All you have is a background with a bunch of icons laid over it. I told the lady I wasn't impressed and I was thinking about the evo and she goes oh well we will have the HTC aria very soon I think you would like that. I kind of laughed and walked out lol.
Then I went to the sprint store. The evo blew my mind. The screen was HUGE, and I'm a sucker for big screens. Then it had all the widgets and the live wallpaper. And it had a freaking kick stand! I was sold right there.
Since then I've only grown to love android even more and everything you can do with it. My brother bought me the new iPad for my graduation and while the screen is incredible, again goes back to my first thoughts of ios. It's just so bland and boring. Browsing the web is very nice but that's about all I use it for.

Ok guys i have been off contract with sprint for like 6 months and I've bought every EVO (Flagships) since the OG. What I exactly is the benefit of buying retail? I remember buying the 3d for $200 like 4 months after release and I bought LTEVO release day for $608 with body glove. The HTCO is an inferior device imo because I know s800 EVO or beast is coming but LTEVO land is pretty much dead. I may be forced to get The One because all the devs are migrating there... So I'm stuck.
***I Just Woke Up... Tell Me Where The Drugs At***
Not dead here man. Not everyone is bouncing to the One. HTCO is not inferior cause s800 won't be out until the end of the year, probably the Verizon "One" will get it but not Sprint, ATT and T-Mo. Sprint lets you upgrade every 18 months nowadays, not as good as 1 yr with Premier but still better than 22 months like the competition.

Dead?.........
Theres like 4 teams working together on sense 5 right now, Jamie just dropped liquid and updated pac, nin still has digital bath and wild for the night with dastin, theres evervolv, cm 10, operation jelly, rootbox, meanbean, thick chad g and flar are all still building kernels, super jelly, viper4g, omj's rom, and others im definitely forgetting and theyre all being actively updated except meanbean.
I hate when people make comments like that when their only contrbutions are discussion and picture posting threads..
+1 for youdug. Development for this device is in high gear. There are a ton of roms in active development, both Sense and AOSP. You want to see a dead phone? Head over to the Optimus G forums. There's nothing going on there despite being a higher-specced phone.

Well maybe dead was too strong, but idk... I just don't have the motivation. Since Virus left and now Mikey I'm just sitting on Viper. The Sense 5 looks nice, but I rarely flash ports. CMX and all the others AOSP roms are nice... PAC has my interest most, but sound quality kept me from CMX.1 again. I can't stand not having the latest and greatest either. I want the One, but S600 just can't compare with the big beasts like T4 and S800 eventho they aren't released.
Could someone tell me the benefit of buying retail tho?
FYI... I may not have contributed much to android, but I'm a recognized Dev/Hacker elsewhere. Lets not forget transcendent mugen GOD

I dont see a benefit. If youre gonna be with sprint for the next two years i say take the subsidized price and sign the contract. You can always cancel later and pay the etf and youll still save $100+.

Yeah youd lose both. But if you sign right back up with them im not sure if you could just get the number back or if it goes into a hold state for an amount of time. Idk. Im sayin if youre gonna be with sprint for the forseeable future why not just get the discounted phone. Do you plan on jumping to att, verizon, or tmobile? You can always buy retail while youre on contract so why not take the contract and get a phone cheaper if youre gonna stay with sprint anyway.

port the number to another carrier before you cancel, that way you don't lose your number

I see no benefit to buying retail. I'm not even gonna comment on "dead" forum.
Maybe T-Mobile might be worth looking at if they have decent coverage in your area. You can get the HTCO for $100 without signing up for 2 years . I know you pay $20 a month but still seems like a good deal .
Regarding S800. I'm sure its a beast but how much more computing power do you need when you look at the ONE's benchmarks. 12k on quadrant or something ridiculous like that
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Does it really matter that the s800 or whatever has better specs? Android)/apps won't be optimized to use it for a long time and its not like you're going to be compiling code on your phone.

The reason I don't want to be on contract is just because how this economy is... Yes I work a good job now, but what happens if I fall on hard times and can't afford the bill? I don't want to be in debt because sprint 4g blankets my house.

If your LTE works why not keep it for another year? That would be the least risky thing to do

I just can't be on a device with dated hardware lol. Seeing as how the One is a qual device... Its sure to get s-off, so I may wait a month or two and get it on craigslist

So here's the guy who's been "bragging", ' I buy off contract', going, "wait, maybe that wasn't smart'? ?
Am I missing something?

Just was evaluating plans on T-Mobile etc and thought about my last decisions regarding phones. I don't think I'm really saving anything with Sprint . 4G in my area is good, 3G still blows, but I kinda feel like it'd be a mistake to shell out $700 this time.
