It only works with certain apps like YouTube, people, browser. I can't remember the rest. Does your phone get the chime when you have them back to back?

No it didn't do anything can't really test it again though bc my friend left

On the galaxy nexus, you actually have to line up the phones so that the evo is about and inch higher than the gnex, i tried to do the same with my friend's phone and she gave me these wierd looks because i put them together with the tops lined up and kept smacking them together like i was playing barbie and ken makeout session.
Apparently the antennas on the phones have to be aligned just right to get it to work. I used a webpage on her phone using chrome beta and it tried to launch the url on my phone via opera.
Lmao makes sense

Not trying to brag or anything, but when I see reviews for this phone I see people saying it gives random reboots, locks up, crashes, overheating, and that It's just so problematic..however I never witnessed any of that, my phone never froze once on me and never had any problems like that. I've had this phone for about a month and a couple weeks and no issues
Yeah. Not every phone is built the same. I've had mine since day one. Still runs like a champ.
Don't know what all the fuss is about it's an excellent phone in fact I couldn't be happier

Hmm Unless you don't follow proper procedures with flashing roms and kernels there shouldn't by any instability.
Also make sure u follow the devs suggestions for specific kernels and mods

Been using this since it launched in the UK. No problems whatsoever. My phones running default, had nothing done to it and It's smooth as butter.
The happy users won't complain or sing praises on forums much as we are satisfied with our product, while those that aren't happy will make themselves heard everywhere.
The only issue I have had is w/the touch screen freezing during calls --- although since I went on a flashoholic binge over the past week jumping between Sense based ROMs, CM7, CM9, and MIUI it seems to have fixed itself. I haven't had any issues all week.
All in all, I love it! Couldn't be happier!
I only really have four problems with this phone.
1 - The battery cover doesn't go on tightly in the top left corner.
2 - There is some dust under the screen.
3 - the phone gets quite hot under use occasionally.
4 - Having a PG86100.zip on the SD card makes it so that you can't boot to recovery through bootloader. Sure, it's easy to just remove it, but sometimes I forget to delete it and experiment too much. When I need to get into recovery in those cases, I can't because of the zip file. On my OG Evo if I didn't want to install the file, I could just say no and then tell the phone not to reboot. With this phone, if I say no, I HAVE to reboot.

Great phone, like it alot, also got an Sensation XE but I prefer my Evo 3D, don't know why, it's magic for me.
It gets very warm next to the camera(s) when I play graphics intensive games and the default music player is cruel, but I got PowerAmp and all in all I'm verry satisfied. Seriously, now the 3D-features aren't used for many times...but it's great to amaze people!
Here in Germany it's just 269€, means ca. 350$, cheap for the given value.
Yep, I never have any stability issues either, stock or rooted. This thing is a very stable beast!
I bought this phone on the release day for my dad's birthday. He had so many problems he had to get a replacement. I swear one day he was doing something on it and out of nowhere he had a reboot. He said it would happen all the time. I took possession of this phone about six weeks ago and have had not one problem at all. Maybe it didn't like him. But overall, this phone is awesome. Wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

I wanna know cuz i've been trying to use it twice now and i get embarrassed cuz i end up having to pay with money. whenever i put it on the pay pass with the screen on and unlocked, it does nothing.... am I doing something wrong????
I've been wondering the same question. Walgreens and McDonalds both haven't worked for me while showing no errors.
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
When you look at those machines they should have a green status light.....I went to sprint and tried it once on 5 machines didn't work then when I went to Walgreens and CVS I noticed that both of their machines had a green light on the pay pass icon or on the top. I'm going to state obvious but sometimes the NFC gets checked off I've noticed...

I went to jack in the box and it worked once, went again after I rooted and followed all instructions correctly so I don't brick nfc and tried again with no success.

Some places have turned the speed pass off, like someone said make sure the light is on, on the speed pass. I was in a sprint store also and it didn't work but was told it was turned off for reconfiguration.

In the Mastercard PayPass locator app on the market, if you click on a location that reports that it has PayPass, it gives you the option to report problems, including if the Site isn't working.
I don't know how fast they are about fixing problems (or if they actually fix them). But hey, it's worth a shot if you frequent the place.

Same here. 7-11 always works for me.
I work at a cvs part time. I don't know about all stores but the ones I've been to around my home always work. I've only seen a few people actually pay with Google wallet but it was pretty cool when I saw it. Just make sure you hold it there for a good 2 seconds or so.

I am in the exact same boat. 2nd time I have tried at McDonalds and I had to pay cash both times.
How do I know if my NFC is bricked? My wallet comes up and says $10 balance on my Google Card... I press the phone to the machine and it kind of just pops up with the Wallet Icon..
I look dumb but I want to get it to work.
Am I bricked? Is there even a way to tell?
I haven't had any problems at CVS except for once when I had my data connection turned off.
I guess best place to go is 7-11.

Ok so I am trying to send a picture to a Samsung g3 via Android beam and it would send? It sends Internet pages and apps but it wound send a picture... It makes the sound but does not do anything else?
Now when I try to send a pic from the g3 to my phone the g3 makes the nosie and shrinks the pic down and says tab to send.. But once you tap it it acts like it sends but it does not send...
Any ideas?

I don't think NFC can transfer 2mb+ but somebody correct me if ok wrong. It is used to transfer information like contacts,apps,web pages,YouTube links
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Android Beam doesn't send photos via NFC in ICS. That was a feature added in JB. Once we get the Jelly Bean update on our phones, it should work. I think it should work if your phone is running CM10.
Thanks guys.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
If the item keeps shrinking and does not send, it is usually because the NFC antennas are not lined up correctly. I assume the GS3's NFC is at exactly the middle and ours is about 1/3 down from the top, so remember to pull the Evo LTE down a bit. Android beam seems to send anything Google apps related well, but nothing else (it will just send the receiver to the play store page). The only things that send reliably for me are contacts. Pictures never seem to send well. It just makes the connection sound but doesn't give me an option to send anything.

Sent from my EVO using xda premium
As far as I know, Android Beam is not capable of transferring large files. It only utilizes the NFC capabilities of the phone, so it is limited to small files, such as webpage links, app links, playlists, etc. The app on the GS3 utilizes the Wi-Fi in conjunction with the NFC to allow for the transfer of large files.

basicly what the gs3 does is when u use the NFC to send picture it actually links the phone via WiFi direct and send the file that way.

no... i wish I live in really rural area not may folks around at all with smartphones anyway.
I was dismayed to see HTC's lackadaisical approach to update though I'm not sure how Samsung's track record matches up.
I'd hate to switch just for the lure of something different only to find it was a step backward.
Oh I see. The thing that bugs me the most on this phone is the lack of proper multitasking. That's about my only issue and it is big enough that I would consider switching. Before you decide, try using touchwiz on a floor model first because it can be rather clunky to use after using touch. I use a Samsung phone for work and an HTC for personal and still have to remind myself that each phone does things differently everyday.

I've tried every single thing I can, so has sprint. My downloads on my galaxy nexus are 1.65mbs while my evo is 10kbs. Its frustrating. Sprint tells me that all Evo LTE run in 1xrtt BUT their display model AND an employees phone both run on erphd (or whatever). All 3 of ours side by side and mine is stuck on 1x. I've got a replacement coming after arguing for 2 hours over how my phone is buggy as hell, sometimes the back key doesn't even register. If my replacement is buggy should I have them replace it too? Oh yea, the lady that took my phone apart put it glass down on a table and scratched the screen to hell. I'm pissed that they told me my phone and 10kbs was normal when every single sprint phone I use in the exact same area is pulling 1.5mbs. Any advice? Lol

That's the thread I used to begin with. Nothing works. Settings-about-network still shows 1xrtt. My replacement will be here tomorrow but I'm afraid it'll have even more bugs than this one. I'm a bit of a gamer and in my opinion this beat out the s3 but fell slightly short of the optimus g so this is my phone of choice but I need my 3g. If it has bugs tomorrow should I deal with it or make them replace it again?

Well this phone runs excellent EXCEPT for reboots every 3-5 hours. Quick screen freeze then 10 second reboot then crash report. All is well for another 3-5 hours. Does it while its just sitting too. Never gets hot either.
