Am I the only evo3d owner who thinks EVO LTE to big? - HTC EVO 3D

I handled an EVO 4g LTE today and I have to say I would have preferred the 4.3" screen size of the 3d with the internals of the EVO lte of course with hd resolution.
I have one on order on my sprint store and not sure if I will upgrade. Don't get me wrong the screen is awesome looking but I am not sure about the size.
With the galaxy nexus, gs3, and EVO lte as the top high end phones are we going to be forced to a larger screen size if we want the latest technology? Will anyone come out with high end phones with smaller 4.3" screens?

Considering it's barely been released, there's not enough people who can really give an opinion. Personally, I don't mind it at all. I can deal with it.

btw. Men get bigger things to make their small **** look better. hahaha. Yeah, the phones are getting "too" big. If I want a tablet, I'll go buy one.

Honestly, I don't mind it as long as it fits in your hands well and slides in the pocket smoothly. Personally, I prefer bigger screens as long as they're not too big.

No sir this TINY EVO 3D is killing me... I hated the fact that it was not as wide as the OG EVO. AND I SLIGHTLY WISH it was a 4'8 or 4'9 inch screen

think of all those stupid iphone users. lol. They think they have rock solid phones. lol. soooooo small. could never go that small. However, I put mine in an Otter Box. The smaller and larger the phones get... means breaking phones. Maybe they'll come out with a phone with OLED that allows us to pull out a screen of our size and is paper thin? of course you know some jackass company like apple will put a patient on that and claim it belongs to them when WE INVENTED IT! NOT THEM! then no one will be able to use the technology!

My first phone was a Evo 4G, so 4.3" is what I started out at. I'm ready for an upgrade in size. Especially after playing with my friends Galaxy Nexus that he just got, I'm SO jealous of that screen. It's huge and videos look ****ing incredible on it. Even with it being that large, it's still very easy to handle in the hand. Especially since Samsung is smart and puts the unlock/power button on the side instead of on the top.

I use to say 4.7 is the "barely usable size"then I held a ONE X... Now 5 in and up to me is unusable.
4.7in is perfect for me lol

I bought my wife an Evo 4G LTE as a mother's day gift (thank you customs for dragging out that surprise...) And I have to say I'm kinda jealous. The size isn't bad at all. Maybe it won't fit in your pocket if you wear tight, pulled down, tapered jeans but that's who iPhones are for ;p
The battery life also beats the 3d hands down. We were running down the battery and the darn thing wouldn't die. It was about 5 hours of screen on time over a 2 day period. Very jealous! Lets see what the rest of the year brings. I'm not to excited about the GS3 so I may get an evo as well.

I'm pretty sure that's how the SGSII and SGSIII's screens look like too. It's just that you need a digitizer + glass in the front or else you'd be poking into the screen.

I gave my wife the 3D and have the LTE.
I was concerned it would be too big. It's absolutely not. I love it.
Use it for a week and you'll think the 3D is too small.
It's actually closer to the original EVO 4G. Which I liked for size.
The slight difference in size makes a huge difference on making less mistakes on the keyboard.
My biggest gripe with the LTE is they removed the Search and Menu buttons at the bottom and added a Most Recent apps button. Really stupid move.
Some people have remapped the most recent apps button to MENU.

Yea when I use her LTE I find myself missing the menu button. I couldn't, with a good conscience give my wife my 3D and keep the LTE, hehe it was Mothers day! I used my line upgrade for it too! Her upgrade comes in September. I'll have to hold out! On the bright side,i can see how the development scene goes, Haha.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA

The original 4g was the sweet spot....it was the perfect size. The 3d has always felt too small in comparison and the portrait keyboard isn't easy to type on like the 4g. Now, as for the new LTE......they can keep it.....I have no desire for it whatsoever. It's too big and I have great WiMAX. No LTE til probably late next year. Additionally, after playing with one, it quite honestly doesn't feel like much of an upgrade to me. No thanks!

Is there a forum for the EVO LTE?
or will they just use the EVO 3D forums.

I agree there's a limit to how big a screen can get for me. I'd take more battery life and better picture over size. The note is too big. The LTE.. I'd say isn't too much.

I really miss the size of the OG Evo. 3D is too small. Not getting the LTE though. Will wait and see what else is coming.

Opinions: What Do You Think of the HTC Amaze Design?

So I've been living with the Amaze for a couple of weeks now and the design has certainly grown me. It's a bit of a foray from the more traditional, plastic clad Android handsets out there but it never really shouts "look at me!".
So my question to all of you fellow Amaze users is, "What do you think of the design?"
Personally, I quite like the beveled edge with the screen sitting above the bezel but that's just me. Let me know what you guys think.

You've posted in the right place so no worries and i love the design, i think its one of the best looking ive used to this day. but since HTC has made these designs (sensation, amaze) how the whole back comes off. these phones have much issues. like my sensation for example, the whole digitizer would press down onto my LCD so i sent it back and got this, the issues i have no is what everyone else is suffering from lol
Beautiful design! Second to none!
Honestly I think its the best looking android phone out right now, if not right beside the galaxy nexus

Picked up the Amaze yesterday after setting up my Sensation for my wife(she was a victim of a bad G2x). Love this phone design and build quality.

I'm fairly impressed. I really like having all the buttons on one side with charger on the other. Wakeup with camera button is a great feature for a phone with a great camera, plus the video button is handy too.
One oversight is the camera flash being too close to the camera lense. I also dislike using the phone without a case because there is no traction to hold the phone on the edges.

The Amaze replaced my Nexus S. It took some adjustment but I really like it. I feel I need to be a bit more careful with it as I'd hate to drop it and I don't think it would survive very well due to it's heavier weight.
Still waiting for my gel case to arrive.

I love the amaze design that's the only reason i purchased this phone, i hate the OS on it.
Decent design. Build quality could be better.
Squeeking on the bottom right of mine, power button feels meh.
Otherwise nice phone.
I like the sturdy quality of the phone, but when the backplate creaks it really ticks me off, especially when the snap-on plastic back cover of the Samsung phones don't creak nearly as loud or as much. Overall, it's a good looking phone, I wish it wasn't as heavy and bulky looking though.
How did your back plate start to creek? Or did u get it like that

Probably from removing the back cover numerous times to battery pull and/or swap micro SD's, it doesn't creak when in normal usage but when pressure is applied to some points then it's a pretty noticeable sound for me

Had to use my wife's Evo yesterday...

and it felt TINY!!!
it was really a mind bender. the phone that was at one time the biggest and fastest phone on the market felt like a tiny slug. it was pretty surreal... 3 weeks ago the Evo felt big... now it feels tiny.
I am loving the GNote and haven't had a second thought about the purchase (except that i am exchanging the blue for a white one)...
This reminds me that back in mid-2010...I nearly switched to Sprint because of the EVO. I remember that I was drooling over it after testing one out for a few minutes.
But, I decided that it wasn't worth the switch just for the phone...due to the rather spotty coverage and slow data speeds in LA.

HAHAHa i can top that. I had to use my GF's iPhone 4s for a day YUCKY! Damn it was insanely small. I am thinking about exchanging my white note for a black/blue one. My GF talked me into getting the one. I think it looks really nice and flashy and will deff grab more attention when you whip it out. Ive already gotten in like 4 convos with people about it this week lol.
But i like how the black is slick and clean. Not sure though yet Did you have to pay a restocking fee? I'm gonna have my GF call tomorrow and see if they would wave it being i paid $650 cash for mine.
What made you want a white over the black/blue?
Agreed.
Gotta admit the truth that most phones are starting to look like pieces of toys to me right now. After using the galaxy note for a moment, I started to have the thought of "Isn't this phone starting to look a bit small to me now?" When I looked on the other side, someone's Iphone4,then again I realized it was the galaxy note that have deluded me in such a way that the size of it is comparable to any other phones out there which is in fact not the true case.
Before using the galaxy note, Iphones and other smartphones look decent in size and nice to use with, but after getting my hands on the galaxy note, just felt like..."meh...aint that just another 'toy' phone right there? (takes out my galaxy note and start using it)".
Doubt I could use any other smartphones right now due to their sizes unless emergency issues arise...

I got into 5 convo's with random people since Saturday about the phone. People are fascinated by it and always laugh at how big it is. As soon as they pick it up and start playing with, seeing the screen and what not, they all realize that.. wow... this actually works as a phone.
I look at it now and I say to myself ----- perfect
re: note
You know how girls are.......they get really excited around something BIG. They don't get that privilege very often
You think that is small. I looked at my wires iPhone yesterday and couldn't believe how small it was.
My wife has the HTC Magic, with a 3.2" screen. It really feels tiny and slow now. The screen is dull and with such a low DPI small text looks blurry.

I borrowed my roommate's HTC Aria for a visual aid to a speech in my Public Speaking class, and it's soooo comically tiny compared to my Note. It got a few chuckles out of the class when I held them up next to each other, but I think it really drove home the point that Android offers a wide variety of sizes that will suit anybody and everybody. It's crazy to think that our screen is 2.1" bigger than that of the Aria though, and so much higher definition.
Also, since his screen was cracked, I offered to fix it for him. My fat hands had such a hard time taking it apart, but it took me about a half hour overall, and he now has perfect glass again. I think I would enjoy taking apart my Note so much more with the size of my hands, because there would be so much more room for my fingers. Haha.
Holding my Infuse now feels like a joke. I can't believe it was the biggest screen for android not that long ago. I could never go back to something smaller than the Note now. I am fully adjusted to it, and my thumb can reach the whole screen; it really is the perfect size for me.

I have a buddy who is an iPhone fan. Just likes not having to mess with stuff and having stuff work. He liked the Dell Streak I had, but wasn't a big fan of how much I messed with it. This weekend I let him play with the Note and he loved it, his kids both loved it, and now they all want one. Then I took his iPhone and laid it across the Note to show him that I had a little more than twice the screen real estate.
Even messing with my gf's Skyrocket, it feels like a toy now. I can't believe how BIG I used to think 4.5 was. They called it behemoth, gigantic, super-sized display and now...its Standard. "Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke"

+1 to the Infuse being much smaller. I used to think that was huge and my friends all thought it was a monstrosity. The Infuse feels so tiny and mega portable now though. They all think the Note is insane. Haha. They do all seem to like it though, especially the HD screen.
Now that I have my Note, there's no way I'm going back to a smaller screen. The only way I could go smaller is if it's still at least 5 inches and a 1080p screen, though 5.3" seems to be perfect for me. Any bigger, I can't each that top left corner with my thumb. Any smaller, I would be wishing for a larger screen. Hopefully Samsung continues and expands the Galaxy Note line. Seems they're promoting it pretty hard, so hopefully they get enough of a response to continue it long into the future.

I played with my iPod touch yesterday. Was actually surprised how easy it was to type on and use, despite how tiny it felt.
For me, there's no beating the Note on the phone front, though. Could never go back to an iPhone now.
I've been on a phablet for over a year now, Dell Streak now SG Note.
No way I could ever go back to a toy with a sub 5" screen
I love it! Went from Captivate to Infuse to G Note. The screen size is perfect for me. Excellent job Samsung...keep it up.
Agreed! The only thing we can do now is go bigger. I'm hoping for a 5.7" or 6.0" phone with a bluetooth headset. I felt like an ass the first week I was using my Note. Now it feels completely normally and anytime I grab anything smaller it just feels silly and unusable.

if u took away the top and bottom portions, you could probably get 5.7",or maybe 6" in the exact same size as the note (just thin bezzle)
I went straight from the motorola backflips 3.2 in. Screen to the note and I love it!
So true. I could not go back to another phone for anything. If they went to a Bezel free just think what we would have. I can't wait. 5.7 would fit into this frame no sweat. Just think this thing with quad core and 2 gig of ram and shazam!!!!!! I would love a little better camera. But I love my note.

Got a Nexus 4. Decided to keep the Amaze.

Well my long awaited Nexus 4 came today, and after using it for a few hours, I decided to keep my Amaze.
My main problems with the Amaze - poor battery life and crap Sense OS - have finally been alleviated with a new 1900mA battery and CM10.
Don't get me wrong, the Nexus is a beautiful device, great weight, good battery, very fast, lovely screen. However I agree with some reviewers that the screen is a little washed out, and the
Amaze definitely has a better camera. Most importantly, I was pretty sure that I would break or scratch that back pretty quickly. I like to be able to pocket my phone so that means no cases, and even banging up against a car door might be enough to shatter the back if it was in my pocket.
Last September I was in the La Merce fireworks parade in Barcelona and my amaze got knocked out of my hands face down on cobblestones where several people trampled it. Other than a nick on the corner it showed no damage at all. Now imagine that had been a Nexus 4. Dead phone.
Not worth it. I'll take the rugged Amaze with its excellent camera and CM10 and someone else can have a nice Nexus for Christmas.
Thanks to all the devs here for making the Amaze truly amazing.

Its also considered the "Super Nexus" because of its specs and how well AOSP/CM runs on it. (basically its what the nexus 4 should be... google should have went with samsung again)
BTW, heres a good wallpaper for the S3 when running CM10. Its the super nexus wallpaper.

Its also considered the "Super Nexus" because of its specs and how well AOSP/CM runs on it. (basically its what the nexus 4 should be... google should have went with samsung again)

Good move, shouldve went with the S3, if you have a screen protecter on this thing its a tank, and it has crazy development.
Samsung GS3 was also named phone of the year a week ago so yea

I'm sadden that the Amaze has few Dev teams. Even after a year that I have had my Amaze, it's still plagued with OS issues. Most stable rom is Energy and it's full of minor but annoying bugs. Been just dealing with it.
I love how it's sturdy, which is why I chose it over the S2. I recently got a hold of a AtNt S3 and it has a cracked screen. I should be getting a screen tomorrow. If 4g works well, I will be switching phones. Tired of just "dealing with it" and I have been hoping for a opportunity to change phones. Unless of course CM10 fixes the BT audio routing problem.

I've had my amaze for 8 months now and now an running energy-stock look. I'm curious to what the bugs are that you encounter. My phone runs prefect. Could use more battery life, but it isn't bad for me. I always get a full day out of it.

I picked up a 3600mah battery, it messes with the camera, but with 20% battery usage for a heavy used day, I can get a week of heavy use out of it.
Its nice to be able to drive for 5 hours playing music and still be able to watch a movie or 2 when i want to chill before bed.
Plus SD Cards work in it, 64 gig class 10 cards!
if i have a choice i would keep Nexus4...thats the device which is made for developers what means so many diffrent ROMs etc
how many options do we have for Amaze? for Nexus ... go and look at their forums...:good:
NO BRAINER----------NEXUS4

Front panel glass uneven?

I have the Developers edition, and just noticed today the front glass seems to be uneven, and not sure if that is normal or a defect on the unit I have.
The top part of the glass by the ear piece is raised up slightly causing a "lip". Noticed it when I went to scroll down from the top. The bottom of the glass seems slightly lowered. So it seems the glass is not level, just trying to see if this is intended as part of the design or not.

Question is will your OCD let you live with that minor defects?

It's not normal but it has been identified as an issue by a bunch of people. I know it would drive me crazy if I could feel it when I pull down the notification bar. My One has that issue as well.

I sent an e-mail to HTC and this is what they had to say, sounds like they are aware of it...
"Thanks for contacting HTC Technical Support Center in regards to a gap between the screen and the casing of your new HTC ONE.
We understand your concern, but at this moment there is no official statement on this matter. As soon as we determine this, we shall issue a resolution for it. Please stay tuned for further news regarding this problem."
Return it

Ive returned 1 cause of this issue and and tried 2 in the store thought I was the only lunatic feeling this. But unfortunately they all were like it and 2 were worse then the other. It is pretty shotty on htc's behalf

There was another thread about this. In that thread it was determined that probably all of the One's are built this way. A very slight rise above the spkr grille at the top of the phone and the opposite at the bottom. If you find one that isn't this way maybe you could call that one defective.
Why is something like this considered a build "issue"? This is getting really childish. I'm beginning to feel like Samsung trolls have managed to infect otherwise sane minds with derogatory interpretations of what reviewers are calling the best built android phone ever. HTC is not a crap company and they build outstanding phones. The more I see threads talking about what a load of problems and crappy build issues this phone has the more I wonder if there's some bad drugs in the water.
No problem discussing that you noticed this, but why is it more proof that the One is riddled with crappy construction issues, when CLEARLY it is not. Mine is perfect, it's one of the most interesting and meticulous built phones I've ever seen. The way the screen is higher at the top is just one of those factors that make it interesting. Notice that the screen being like that is not a result of crappy build. It's a gorgeous piece of engineering.
I expect to be flamed so don't hesitate, I apologize in advance, I'm in a crappy mood tonight.

The weird thing is no matter how much i hate the look of samsung phones, they never seem to have issues like these in my experience, whereas HTC phones, (I had the one x) seem to have something, in that case, the whole body creaked whenever i picked it up. Don't get me wrong, I like HTC phones, but i'm scared to open my htc one's box tomorrow.

I'd be VERY careful doing that, you could end causing other issues. My glass seems normal to me, I think people are making way more of an issue out of this than it is.
I don't understand if you're unhappy then exchange it. You have 14 days if need be.

I haven't seen a single One that doesn't have these issues.. I'm on my second one but the issues are less extreme than they were on the other

Mine has this on the left side, but I never brush my thumb on the "lip" when I pull down notifications, so I'm not going to worry about it.

I wouldnt gunny..
If this issue was with the s4 or any other phone everyone would just ignore it like its part of how the phone is just made, but since htc has been pushing their build quality on this everyone freaks when there are tiny tiny imperfections

The only thing that even slightly bothers me is the possibility of getting dust under the glass. HTC phones are notorious for this.
But in all honesty this is the best built phone I have ever owned. HTC really got this one right.

Just heat up the front of the phone to resticky the adhesive and instead of clamps put heavy books on it.. Im pretty sure itll work and be less scary to do than with c clamps
