Just a heads up the Media Link HD $90, Car Dock $35, and about 3 cases $15 are all available at Sprint locations now with a 20% if you order 2 or more
Is the car dock the official HTC dock, or was it a third party dock? Just wondering, since Sprint doesn't have the HTC dock on the website.

It is the official Car Dock from HTC specifically for the Evo. WifiMaxed on AndroidForums.com posted a video he already picked his up. Looks pretty nice and has insert so it will work with and without cases.

I agree, Just EVO LTE, forget the 4g we already know. Even if it stands for fourth generation or 4g service, just keep it simple.
Or just the new ****ing evo.

That's what I've been referring to it as. The new Evo. No need to start combining acronym letters into one word. It sounds stupid.

Phone not entering "car mode" automatically
I have the offical HTC car dock from Sprint. However, when I plug my phone, it doesn't automatically launch HTC Car and go into "dock" mode, as it should. It only does this about 40% of the time. Anyone else having this problem?

Very nice improvement over my EVO 4G.
The only negative is the fact I have to deal with the forced password from my IT policy again since I don't see any work arounds yet.
There is a reason for the forced password from your IT department if you want their exchange network to be open on your phone. Getting around it is just undermining the security your IT guys are trying to provide for their network.
Would you happen to have a cable to test HDMI mirroring?
How is the call quality?
after all the noise made over in Sprint forums ...lol...you got yours before me
So you like it pretty well so far? Got a nexus s and plan to swap for the 3d before my 30 days is up (signed up to get the port credit just in case they didnt extend it again, which i just looked and they did...)
Hopefully I wont have a problem with getting one in the next 3 weeks.

Call quality seems fine. I don't use the phone much but I just called my dad and he said I sounded fine. He was in the bathroom taking a dump so a little bit of an echo on his end......for obvious reasons.

So far I really like it. Coming from the EVO 4G it isn't a 'huge' change so a lot of things are normal. It isn't like coming from a Blackberry. Love the sense 3.0.
Screen is really nice. Side by side with the EVO 4G you can really see the improvement. I'm not a big fan of the 3D because it messes with my eyes. It is cool...but not worth the headache for me.
Because of the higher resolution screen, the keyboard I normaly use (SmartKeyboard Pro) is stretched a little in landscaping and seems a little too small in portrait. I'll have to try a bunch of other ones. I wasn't too thrilled with the stock keyboard at first but I'll give it a few days.

There is nothing that is harmful to the company in my email or on my phone. Plus I run Lookout on my phone. If it goes missing, I log on and lock the phone. If I can't find it I do a remote wipe. My phone is by my side 24/7 so I know when it is missing within minutes.
The password just ruins the Sense experience. No point of having shortcuts on the lock screen when you have to type in a password.

I've been running a Sense 3.0 ROM on my EVO for weeks, and I have a passcode -- I would even if my employer didn't require it. The lockscreen is still extremely useful with a passcode. Sure, it's not immediate access, but it still decreases the amount of navigation to get to common tasks.

Call quality was good enough for me. I have never expected crystal clear calling from a cell phone. I think that expectation was set back in the days of older networks and crap phones. I can hear who I was talking to, there was no distortion, and nobody was complaining about how I sounded.
I will set it up on my Ford Sync system in my car today and test it then too.
Loving mine so far. 3D pics are uber cool, the 3D Video equally cool, can't wait to hook it up to the TV.
Only complaint - No flashlight app. Haven't tried any market ones yet though.

Idiots at Sprint told me I might have to take my phone to the store to be looked at lol.
For the last couple of years I've held in my hand an HTC device. I became very familiar with their S-OFF procedures and I am just curious what things are like for Motorola users. I know I should probably search, but I'd like some opinions rather than guides. How is Moto's bootloader unlocking different than HTC? Does Moto have an unlock tool like HTC's halfa** tool? Anyone else here move from HTC, is it worth it?
I'm picking one up later today on craigslist so I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into. Currently, I've got an EVO 3D.
I moved to the photon from an EVO 3D as well. I always used HTC phones going as far back as the HTC Mogul. I actually prefer Blur over Sense. There is a ton of little things about this phone that make it better, in my eyes mind you, than the 3D.
I've honestly never even thought about going back to an HTC. That is until now. With the evo lte coming out its provoking the need for a new toy.
I got this phone in October and I still don't wanna run it over with a tank.
Anything specific you wanna know?
No root tool, however, the root method is simple and pain free if you are capable and can follow directions.

Thanks for the info! I've wanted the Photon 4G since I renewed last fall but I chose the EVO 3D (coming from the EVO 4G). I was pretty disappointed with the 3D in general and I've regret the decision of getting it in the first place. But from your personal use, how's battery life? Is the Tegra 2 better than the S3/Adreno 220 in the 3D? I enjoy playing games and so far (Modern Combat 3, BackStabHD) have performed pretty well on the 3D. Any experience with these on the P4G?
Go back to the HTC family.
Sent from my ICS Shooter 3D
Battery life on the P4G is a lot better for me at least than the 3D ever was. Another note, reception. Leaps and bounds over Sammy and just a hair better than HTC. Wifi, data, calls and texts. To me 3g is unless on this phone. I sit on a super fast Wifi connection at home and 4g blankets the places I go.
As far as games go, my gaming extent is angry birds and techno kitten adventure.

Lol from experience with the P4G or because you have a 3VO?
3g is fine. I personally can't tolerate how slow it is.
You've got a point. I just assumed it was my area. Everything shows as 3G on my EVO but I swear it's 1x/EvDO. I think it's just to make people happy
Yeah. I work from home so unless I leave the house I'm on a 100meg connection. If my phone ever says 3g, I don't even bother with using data.
Any other specific stuff?
Thats about it. Thanks very much! Once I get the phone I'll post any questions if I have any but it sounds like I'll enjoy it!
Ok I picked up the Photon... so far so good (overall). I have two issues though that maybe you can help me with.
1) Headset might be busted. Plugin in headset the phone goes nuts making calls, bringing up voice commands - tried with two known working headsets. Audio sounds like hissy/tinny. If I push the plug to the side it sounds ok so I'm think it's loose? I'll get a Torx set from RadioShack tomorrow and check more.
2) The phone is slow. On the home screen, swiping between each screen has such a tremendous lag. The music player takes almost a minute to load the songs from my SD card (roughly 3000 songs). I just did another factory reset so we'll see how it goes.
Yeah. That sounds like it's broken.
Hard reset should fix the slow problem. I use ADW EX to replace the shock ui but that's just cause I like it better and I got the circle folders.
Anything else?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
I tried a gameloft game tonight, Modern Combat 3 and I get to the 3rd splash screen and it reloads the app. I'm downloading the data files for BackStab HD now to see if that one will work.
HDMI out is pretty unimpressive. When you move from one app to another you can see a transparent image of the previous screen behind the active one. Not a big deal, HDMI out isn't a huge deal but for videos/pics I think it'd be fine.
Hopefully tomorrow with be a better day with this puppy. If I keep having problems I'll just claim it through Asurion.
EDIT: HDMI is fine. Problem was with a crappy HDTV.

Sorry, bad explanation, I hit the power button to turn the screen on and off until I get it to respond. It usually makes it through the ring lock, but then its either unresponsive or acts like there's pressure. Sometimes the capacitive buttons may not work either (actually more like a majority of the time). It happens a lot, like maybe 10-20% of the time I want to use the phone, seems to be getting worse. Maybe I better deal with it before I get locked out...
I'm a little leery of Samsung after my Moment debacle, but I can't deny that the Transform was alright and my wife's Intercept did do the job well. It seems they've made strides for sure.

if i had a non working EVO 3D id absolutely would get that switched out with an S2, they just got their official ICS out, and its bigger and faster.
my girl has an T-Mobile S2 and it screams, its great to use and handle. and takes 100x better pictures.. "someone" on xda whoses a "tmo tech" let out that the TMO S2 is set for an Official JB update later this year after the S3 gets it.
the extend batteries and accessory options are better and cheaper as well.
and if it wasnt bad enough the Epic 4g Touch has the better and faster chipset than the TMO S2.
Pull the trigger if u got the chance....
Oh and its also worth more too in the resale market...

Yes, you should get a Galaxy S2 replacement!
Asurion replaced my Evo3D with a GS2 on June 5. It wasn't a refurb, it was brand new. The GS2 was the only choice I had, and I was really upset until I received it. I loved my Evo3D! I miss the 3d and the Sense UI. :crying:
I'm really happy with the Galaxy S2 now tho, especially the USB storage.
I wouldn't have taken the Evo4G, either -- that's b.s! Good luck to the people with future 3d accidents! Insist on the GS2 and don't accept less!
(I had dropped the Evo3D on the street getting out of my car, in Texas, in 105°! I didn't notice for 30 minutes, and it cooked the bottom buttons, (home-menu etc.)

my girl has an T-Mobile S2 and it screams, its great to use and handle. and takes 100x better pictures.. "someone" on xda whoses a "tmo tech" let out that the TMO S2 is set for an Official JB update later this year after the S3 gets it.
the extend batteries and accessory options are better and cheaper as well.
and if it wasnt bad enough the Epic 4g Touch has the better and faster chipset than the TMO S2.
Pull the trigger if u got the chance....
Oh and its also worth more too in the resale market...

Samsung/Sprint borked the shat out of the ICS update for this phone, ppl are saying they think it's deliberate so we'll just go out & buy the S3 lol, but since kernel source was released too, we now have a source built kernel for CM9 & we're about to be official, this is definitely the best time to own a E4GT!

From what I could find it doesn't.. But just wanted to get a clear answer.
This is using the at&t one (not the mini)

Well, that was pretty clear
I was hoping to discover another feature I did not care about when buying the phone.
Is there any method to add this capability without hacking the thing open?

Get a mophie or some other wireless charging/extra battery case for it.. it'll obviously definitely add to the size/weight of the phone tho over a standard case.. I wouldn't get the cheap chinese one's off ebay tho, horrible things that don't last long at all.

I know this is a late post but have you ever used one of the "cheap chinese one's"? I've heard there were pretty good and I haven't heard of any of them not lasting. Just wondering.

Yeah ive tried 2-3 different Chinese ones, although admittingly they were for my iPhone and not the HTC one. They were great for the first month or two and then and then they all started having issues. 1 would fail to charge ever again regardless of charger, another failed to hold a charge for longer than ~4hrs, another would constantly cycle charging on/off while switched on and trying trying to charge the phone. Just had a bad experience overall and waiting a month+ for RMA is a bit much. Much better to get a legit one for these reasons at a place where you can RMA in your own country if you ever need it.

Oh! You meant the cases, not the chargers right? Sorry, that's where I had got confused , my bad! I was talking about the wireless charging pads/stations or whatnot.
Ah! Lol my bad, the wireless qi chargers work fine, haven't had any issues with those ^^

I guess by default this is
Some key questions:
-Release date? Mid July is my guess.
-2/16 model or 3/32? Hoping the 3/32, or no buy.
-Wireless charging? Might be a separate purchase.
-Colors? I prefer black or gray.
-Will it be rootable? The Korean model roots easily, but VZW might have that "patched".
Then change the title and make it for us.
Hopefully they bring it real soon. Verizon is really slow in releasing new phones.
I personally can't wait I love the m8 I have now but it's such a waste of realistate

Yeah I might pick this up. My update is end of July. I want a rootable phone that isn't already dated. I love the S3. If either the S5 or G3 gets rooted and unlocked bootloader I will probably pick up that phone. I've never had an LG though

Well, I really want it but I am one of those that changes my mind on a whim! Gonna wait for reviews first though.

All carriers in the states which sells the G3 are not going to have wireless charging included, you have to buy another case for that.
They said <50$, which sucks.

I was initially interested in wireless charging my G2 when I first got it. But then I found out how excellent the battery is on it and I have NO trouble plugging it in overnight - the only time I've ever had to worry about charging it, and even if I forgot, I still have had at least 30% of a battery to start the next day.
As always, YMMV.

Dang it. A wireless charging back plate? If it's like an extra 20 $30 purchase and it replaces the battery cover I'm fine with that. but, if I have to put a case on it to Wireless charge it, screw that. Wireless charging has become a massive factor in my phone purchases. I've built my own little ecosystem around that and I'm not giving it up lol

How have you implemented wireless charging? I'm curious to get a phone with it but I haven't thought of any very useful implementations of it.
I bought the HTC One Max a couple days ago and I'm not a fan. My Note 2 had a home button, along with back and menu keys. Now I have to wake my One with the power button and if I use a custom launcher like Apex, I have no access to "recent apps" unless I configure the home key to use that. The camera is feature rich, but only 4 mp, but battery life is excellent as is the sound from the front-facing speakers. I also miss my email widget (although a custom rom would fix some of these complaints).
The knock to wake and a full set of softkeys on the G3, along with the laser camera look like compelling features to me. Even tho I have a case and holster (Amazon), I think I'll probably return my One.

The car dock I have is wireless Charing. Mix that with bt audio and it's nice. Start the car and go. Phones Charing and radio is ready. I have a pad inbeded in my nightstand and coffie table. if you combine that with how good the g2 battery is. The phone never needs to be plugged in.

Ready to get mine. The S3 has been great, really nearly the perfect device. I might be shocked by the G3 size at first but I'll get use to it. Having to find a decent Verizon rep that will let me keep my unlimited will be a hassle again. I use 75-95 gbs a month so its needed.

One day in the future we will look back and say, "you remember when we used to have data caps?" Seriously, how long can they possibly keep this stupid limited data model in today's connected world. It's ridiculous.

What model/make is that? Does it work well or interfere with anything?

Agreed on the data cap comment. The same thing will happen that happened with text messaging.
The car dock is the LG puck car dock. The link below has some good pictures of what it is. mine is completely molded into the car though. I like to make things look a little custom lol

It's not abuse, he just happens to be a heavy user. The justification networks use for implementing data caps is completely fabricated. Many people with the technical knowledge have commented on this. Data caps are just another revenue source for network operators, same goes for ISPs as well.
