I really wanted to like the phone, but I ran into two issues.
a) my audio over bluetooth was terrible. Compared to the Photon that I was coming from, the calls were very choppy.
b) Reception... I spontaneously went to roaming mode in my office, where I have NEVER had reception issues. the same thing repeated itself on the freeway where Sprint has always had good coverage.
I'm sure it was probably just my handset, but with the SGS3 coming soon and my Photon still kicking like a champ, I took it back today, after just one day of use.
good luck everyone.
This reminds me that I've experienced the roaming issue. I have airave hooked up, so I thought it might have something to do with that; even though my NS4G and GS2 were fine in the same config.

First issues and people are frantically returning there phones. The newer phones gnex EVO LTE, are gonna probably have more issues because of the new network vision rollout. Once that network is up and running, I'm certain it will succeed

Going from a photon to a New EVO you would see a difference in coverage. The photon is awesome in the RF aspect.
I was able to compare my EVO LTE to an Epic yesterday in a fringe area. It seemed to be about the same.

I have acce ss to, at any given time, the OG Evo 4g, the Evo 3d, the Evo Shift, the ET4g, and now, the Evo 4g LTE. If I am having problems getting a signal somewhere, and absolutely NEED a signal, for some reason it's the Evo3d that never fails. I don't know what it is in the internals that causes it, but it's definitely true.
i think it would be pretty hard to make a decision to return a phone after one day.. but hey if you dont like it you dont like it..
You're generally right... However, going into roaming, in areas that I've used most phones in without incident, shows a clear issue that I won't risk dealing with.
I've already resigned to dealing with poor data speeds due to Sprint's network... Good calling should be a must for all phones.
Should I have expected the calling issues to go away by themselves?

this is a known issue htc needs to address. the evo 3d generally has a worse signal than other phones since the antennae is at the bottom (where u hold it). if u cant deal with it you might wanna get a different phone. im considering it
Have you updated your prl? Sprint pushed one that was super slow but fixed it. My 3d gets better coverage than any other phone I've owned. Hell I tether to my wifes nexus s 4g so she can speed up. Your prl should start with a 2 I think.

Really? That's a bit of bad news for me.
I'd be very interested to hear from any UK Evo owners regarding the phone signal, is it as much of a problem with GSM too?
Our Verizon bill is ridiculous, and I might be switching to Sprint soon. If so, this is definitely the phone I want. What is this phone like compared to my rezound in terms of battery life, network speed, and performance?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
-Network Speed (For now)
+With Everything else
Probably the shortest & best way to describe that experience.
your speed is going to be heavily dependent on your location. Ive never used a rezound so I don't know what the difference will be, but the evo is a nice phone. Some minor annoyances, but if you can find a phone that doesn't have some let me know.
Going from a Rezound to an EVO 4G LTE you will experience:
-Much better, bigger screen
-Much faster
-Much better battery life
-Much thinner
-Much better camera
-Sense 4
-Terrible network speeds for a little while (unless you live in KC etc)
It's better in every way, besides the fact that Verizon is superior to Sprint in terms of service.
I have both phones. As stated network speed on Verizon is sick. And the rezound has great screen resolution but the evo is better in pretty much every way. Even the screen is better.the rezound feels like a brick In my hand. The battery life on the rezound is horrible.
If you can wait for the better network then get the evo
I love my shiny 4g iPhone!
You can always give sprint a 14day try to see how speeds are and what not. nd depending on your situation like if u have WiFi at work and home it may not matter to much about speeds.

And keep in mind you can just use the temp number sprint gives you for a week or so and then later port your number over from Verizon
It's rather silly to compare these two phones. I would ask any Sprint customers you know if they're pleased with their service. Also, if you don't qualify for a discount in any other way, get an account as a local credit union. I get 23% off on my bill for being part of a credit union.
This phone is godly. That is all

If you get lte you'll definitely regret it sprint 3G is slower then Verizon and most parts of the US the bill will come down tho, when I had Verizon and the amount of minutes I used to pay 170+ for two lines, it was unlimited data, sprint 3G wasn't as bad so I moved with my wife and we were paying 129$ at month big difference, if Tmobile had the evo I think it will be better at least till LTE rolls out I get up to 12-16 mbps on Tmobile but they do have some dead spots, att and Verizon have the next networks but they charged too much IMO, other then that the evo lte is my favorite phone I am getting the galaxy s 3 on Tmobile and most likely keeping my evo till their network could at least hit 5mbps cause I like that phone the much

Folks, before I get flamed for posting that and before a Moderator closes my thread, please read what I have to say.
I live in Atlanta, where LTE supposedly is everywhere. Or so I thought "supposedly" when I had the Evo because ever since I got it, I've only seen it connected once(I thought maybe it just wasn't available yet.)
Then I thought maybe it was my phone since people were reporting getting 4G speeds a lot in Atlanta, so I argued my way into getting another one from Sprint. Same thing. Never connected.
Then I got myself a Galaxy Nexus. The phone was great (til I broke it) and it was always connected to 4G.
(I even made a thread about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846041)
When my brother came to visit me, I even tested his Evo LTE. Same thing.
Then I broke my Galaxy Nexus and bought a Galaxy S III. To my surprise, it also always connected to 4G.
I went to Sprint and compared it to an Evo LTE to see if that one would connect. I checked the settings to make sure LTE is on and it still wouldn't connect.
Even my 3G speeds on the Samsung devices are better.
Thus, I learned so far that Samsung's antenna's are a LOT better than HTC antenna.
(FYI, I do not work or am endorsed by Samsung in any means. Matter of fact, I think their phones feel like cheap plastic pieces of sh*t and I wish I could have my HTC again (in working condition.))
Maybe we need to pressure HTC into putting in better antennas in our phones.
Are you sure you were on LTE on the Samsung phones? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the EVOLTE is an LTE only phone and doesn't connect to Sprint's legacy 'faux-g' hspa network while I believe the Sammy phones do. My first Samsung phone was the intercept ( a miserable failure) and my second was the nexus s 4g(terrible reception but great phone). I've had much better luck with HTC phones when it comes to hardware.
I've only been to ATL once on a business trip and managed to connect to LTE before Sprint officially launched it so I was impressed
Edit: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/HTC-EVO-4G-LTE,Samsung-Galaxy-S-III/phones/7019,6330
^Here is a decent source to prove it. I blame Sprint for being d***headed enough to insist on having an exclusive version of the One-X with features that didn't leave enough room for all the radios we need. They should have just taken the One-X as it was intended by HTC. Personally there us no 4g in my area at all so the Evo works fine picking up 3g

I see where you're coming from but yes these are both LTE.
Galaxy Nexus was Sprint's first LTE phone launched, then Evo and I believe then GS3.
And the speeds I'm getting (in good areas) are 20MB plus.
At work, I get a constant 3-5MB.
So I do not think it's T-Mobile's HSPA that I'm connecting to but actual LTE.
Even if it's true, false, or up for debate, you won't get a good discussion on it here.
I foresee posts about plastic phones, pentile screens, and TouchWiz.

Well the point is that I think Sprint has a bigger hspa footprint than LTE so you may be getting hspa and then LTE when you enter its range(thus the good 20mb spots). Even if the Samsung radio is slightly better you should still be able to connect on the Evo...

Sprint doesn't have a hspa network. There are no phones that connect to Sprint’s previous 4G network (wimax) and their current 4G (LTE) network.

Yeah that's what I thought too. Isn't T-Mobile the only one left with HSPA?
And honestly, Samsung vs. HTC aside, the problem is more on the carrier than HTC... Or both I guess. I used 2 friend's One X and GS3 next to each other in hspa+ 4G and they both were very close as far as load times. The GS3 person ended up swapping in her gs3 for the One X after seeing the software difference though Sprint just forced HTC to skimp on the radios with the extra evo features jammed in.

I'm honestly torn between HTC and Samsung, sometimes. I love how an HTC phone feels in my hands, nice and solid. Sense looks good but can sometimes be a performance hog. Samsung does some pretty unique stuff to their devices (multiscreen, s-pen, etc) and I like that. I hate how the whole damn thing is just a bar of plastic, just don't like what it feels like compared to HTC. But software wise, Tocuhwiz isn't that bad, IMO. It's much closer to AOSP than any other OEMs version of Android.
But if you want a good read on the upcoming struggles with Samsung's Exynos-based devices, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922613&page=2
Start around post 16, some really good info from a CM dev. I like Samsung for always getting out their source early, but if it's broken and doesn't compile, then it doesn't matter. And if they can't help with any low level processor stuff because it's proprietary to them, they're not helping the community as much as they try to show that they are. Just my 2 cents.
Radio aside, how do you like the GS3 compared to the EVOLTE?

Very solid phone. GS3 freezes. My keyboard can't keep up with my typing and I end up with words like "whuoi dasu unjhoos" (this matters to me. I text a LOT.. like 500 or so texts per day.)
The speaker phones sounds terrible.

I've actually come close to trading my EVO for a GS3 a couple times. No LTE here, so that's never factored in.
Basically 3 things have kept me from doing so:
1. People want way too much +$
2. Most that I've come across not in mint condition
3. I'm lazy
Oh, and also been trying to sell a car on CL, so haven't reposted my EVO for GS3 ad in awhile.
Doesn't most of the EVO's LTE connection problem stem from software? Bc last I heard the next ota is going to address it?
Personally, I won't have LTE for another few months at the earliest. So, it doesn't matter much to the majority of the US. Granted there are a lot of EVO users in the LTE startup cities. But does this mean a mass exodus from the EVO for 4g connectivity?
I can wait to see if an ota fixes the issues. I mean what are we gonna do, go to Verizon? Hahahaha.
Ive been reading the threads and i see the fix is to cycle airplane mode. But i haven't seen any explaining why. Ive noticed that if you travel to an area without ehrpd(the hand-off from evdo to lte) itll drop you to evdo rev a. But wont put you back to ehrpd unless you either restart the phone, cycle airplane mode, or switch cdma/lte to cdma only and back to cdma/lte. If this has been explained, i apologize but i can't find it
So Sprint/HTC needs to fix the hand off back to ehrpd when you get back to an ehrpd area. Chop chop

not really funny though

We've been talking about this in several threads and its across many forums. The problem has been known since the phone was in Sprint's lab before launch. They rushed it out so OG Evo people would lock back in to 2 yr contracts. They tried to fix it twice via OTA firmware but still failed. Sprint is in denial there is a problem and so is HTC. You come to your own conclusion if it will get fixed or not.
It's working much better in the latest cm10 builds. Running the 10/25 build from deck. I've been holding lte almost exclusively. And have it places even toggling it before wouldn't get me.

So if you were to flash a sense rom right now, your lte issues will return as well? Is there anyway you can do a quick nandroid then flash a sense rom to see if it goes back to having the same issues? I am very curious as to what the results would be. I would do it myself but I don't have lte where I am right now.
So I'm at work now, and I'm still not picking up any lte inside. But I am when I go outside.
And I picked up and held strong lte at my girlfriends place the other day, which has never happened.
So it seems it is better, but still not 100%. As an iphone or s3 would have lte in my building.
If I go back to a sense rom I cant hold onto an lte signal at her place at all. Even when set to lte only. That part i can reproduce.
At least seems to confirm software issues.
pretty frustrating having to do the airplane mode trick to get 4g back (even then it doesnt work all the time), especially since when 4g is working it's so nice to FINALLY have acceptable data speeds from Sprint.
kind of feel helpless here with this phone, I haven't gone to a sprint store to complain yet, but it's not like I can reproduce the 4g connection issue it just happens.
I think they have fixed some it on the stock rom.
I left for the GS3 about a month or two into owning my EVO LTE. My main gripe was getting stuck on 1x after driving around Dallas.
After having some issues with my GS3 after their LI3 update i decided to go back to my EVO LTE since it too has had some updates.
The week i used my EVO LTE i never had any issues with it getting stuck on 1x. It also did switch back and forth between LTE, eHRPD and EVOD/A normally. If not a little slow to switch to LTE from time to time. I did find another thread and it looks like they have the LTE scan time set to 30 minutes. Way to long if you ask me.. But i guess in a year when more areas have actual saturation of LTE then once your connected it shouldnt matter much what the scan time is.
Yes, we know they have tried twice but it still doesn't work right.

I'm curious. You bought a GS3 at full price? EBay?
I'm getting tired of this issue myself. I considered maybe switching to T-Mobile and getting the new LG Nexus, but I checked, and Sprints ETF doesn't start getting pro rated until after the fifth month! It will be at least next June before it becomes financially feasible, maybe longer.
I don't have a lot of hope that this issue will get fixed. The weird thing to me is that it's obvious Sprint values the name, EVO, yet this will effectively kill that reputation.

Well my wife just got the galaxy note 2 and she gets great lte in our house where evo lte gets none. Does the galaxy note 2 have better internal antennas, both phones get same number of bars for voice but she gets lte and I don't while at home.

its a well known fact the evo is a poor performer in comparison to the sammys and ip5 as far as picking up and holding lte.
That's news to me, I'm going off old flip phone standard I guess Samsung all ways sucked compared to Sanyo.... Then I upgraded to palm treos and then HTC Windows phones...now HTC since hero, evo, evo 3d now lte And all were better than Samsung as far as signal strengths go. I guess they have changed for the better. I haven't owned a Samsung since the blade or what ever it was called came out.
