I had the 3vo and it is purely a gimmick phone. The Photon is just a nice piece of machinery. If you are still on your 30 days just try it out, you can reset your 30 days 3 times. You won't want to return it.

Took my 3vo back and haven't regretted it
Earpieces/speaker, battery life and antenna are far better than on the 3vo

Wow, I didn't know i could reset my 30 day trial 3 times is there some official material on this if so can you please provide link
I also wouldn't trade this phone because I see it has potential. But some crazy voice in the back of my head whisper Galaxy S II ... Sorry anyone I'm just a big ol' Samsung fan boy. And I will not lie the Motorola Photon 4G is growing on me...

Yeah, can you reset the 30 day trial 3 times? I thought that you can only exchange your phone once?

Yea that was what I though it was but "Dj" said you can do it 3 times if so I asked where I can get that info so I can printed and have proof to show at the store if and when the Samsung Epic Touch 4G aka the Samsung Galaxy II comes out I will probably jump on that since I am a Samsung fan boy.

If buying at Sprint retail, they will only allow 1 exchange (for a different device) you CAN exchange for the same device multiple times (with device issue). Best Buy, I have personally done 3 different devices within that 30 day time frame.
Just tell em "look, I'm gonna be stuck with this phone for the next 2 years...so wanna make sure I'm gonna be happy with it."

I guess coming from a Samsung Epic, my definition of "laggy home screens" is a little different. From my perspective, the Photon is incredibly quick in every instance, including scrolling between home screens.

I'm on my 3rd EVO and it still has the same problems the others had. Screen freezes, green pictures, dark pictures in bright sunlight, piss poor reception which not only makes the phone useless but also kills the battery stupid fast.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Gave my 3devo back....suck phone, call dropping, screen freezing, no-add to the contact list, 4g dropping when 4g signal is stronger than 3g, battery lasting *maybe* 4 hours POS.
Yea, it was a nice toy, it just wasn't a phone in any aspect.
I will never own a HTC device again, they had thier chance and failed hard.

I was going to say the exact same thing - and there are many different launchers, widgets, etc that makes it very sense like anyways. The sense type dialer is important to me, and the Motorola one is strikingly similar.

You also need to keep in mind that somebody different has used that phone every few minutes and who knows what settings they may have changed. Widgets can also affect any phones' response, so you might want to strip those when you test. I don't have the slightest bit of lag on my phone using blur.
Sprint seems to tired of change my evo this is the number 6 i have and they told me that I chose from a list they have a new one and the only one that convinced me was the motorola photon.

I think people return their phones over every little flaw. Honestly i think if u go through 6 it means u have the problem. Imo sprint shouldnt give u another phone over light leakage, people seem to be spoiled.

Those are stupid reasons to waste time exchanging phone after phone. Light leakage and a tilted screen don't hinder functionality in the least. I've got the light leakage...oh well. I don't use my phone in the dark a lot for it to be an issue and even if I did oh well....it still works. Some people are exchanging their phones constantly for retarded reasons. I have a hard time believing that out of 6 devices ALL of them were defective to the point that they couldn't be used.

Thinking about trading my EVO in for a Samsung Galaxy S3 before my 30 days is up. My past 3 phones were made by HTC. LOVED them all. Only Samsung phone I ever owned was the Instinct. Garbage...I love this phone but can't stand the signal dropping in and out all the time and the proximity sensor only works less than half the time. 1 more gig of ram wouldn't hurt either. Should I do it?

Sounds more like a defective unit to me.. my signal doesnt bounce around.
I had a chance to play with the new galaxy. I used to have the first epic, then the epic touch. Honestly, New tw4 is awful to me, makes ics way ugly and bloated. Sense is pretty good, other than multitasking. Personally, I wouldn't get the new gs3 unless there was a way stable cm9 for it.
Yes, I know that with source it is very much possible, but, just like with gs2, there's no real profile and prl update option. I've noticed that over time, network performance degrades big time when compared to other devices.

personally ive considered doing this as well but i always change my mind (i still need to play with the GSIII) simply because i know that cm9 and aokp stable versions will come to the ELTE at some point and with that i have 2 options in sense and stock...i feel like samsung doesnt provide that simply cuz touchwiz i feel isnt worth it at all
Coming from the Galaxy S2 I wouldn't go back to touchwiz. The new Galaxy is great but personally I like HTC sense and the EVO design better.

FYI, signal has nothing really to do with the phone and everything to do with your location. So going to get a new phone that will have the same issues is kinda ...ummmm.......stupid. But to each his own.

Hello,
I recently switched to tmobile and am looking to buy a phone to use. I've been looking at HTC Sensation, HTC Amaze, and Galaxy S2. I was thinking to go with HTC Amaze, but I ran into many issues discussed on the net. So, here's my question. Should I buy this phone? Are the issues that bad? Or, can they be resolved by simply installing custom ROMs? I'd appreciate any advice you can give me. Thank you.
GT
I dealt with all 3 of them. GS2 is a POS. Sensation is has older harder (but better ROM development) and i love my Amaze. Does all I need it to do. You should get an Amaze.
Agreed with hasoon
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
Although I love my Amaze its getting to the point where its becoming outdated and unsupported. I would go another route. IMHO.
Depends what you are looking for...
Pros:
- Decent Specs.
- Nice camera.
- microSD.
Cons:
- Due to HTC and the lack of source ROM dev isn't as plentiful as other phones.
- Issues with the back plate not fitting right and making creaking noises.
- Larger device (thickness).
- Sense (for me at least).
- Horrible backlight bleed from the buttons.
- Lackluster battery life.
If I was to go back in time, I would have picked up a Galaxy Nexus over the Amaze.
I was choosing among those phones too (including the blaze). Chose the amaze because it's screen was way better than Samsung crappy pentile offerings and it had a dedicated camera button. Battery life is pretty mediocre even with an anker extended battery. Battery life is a huge weakness since HTC refuses to release wireless source.

Do it. This phone if my last one from HTC. They at one time ruled the smart phone spec now they just suck. Sport and Eclipze thanx for the great roms I have a feeling this will be abandonware real soon. Faux your still the kernel master. Last time I do an upgrade without doing all of my research. The One S is good but the lack of SD card is a no go and its made by HTC. Maybe the S3 when cyanogen gets released on it or dare I say it the iP...who am I kinding I'll never buy that phone I need wifi calling like a crack heads needs a rock.

I was wondering, how often the sprint replacement device works with you guys? As far as i know that all replacement devices are refurbished.
EVO 4G LTE HB 2.09 S-OFF
I had 4 replacements through the sprint store with my 3D until I got one that wasn't scratched, dented, didn't rattle or even worked. I was told they are "recertified" not refurbished. They said they recirculate the phones people generally return during their 14 day period. The rep couldn't answer me when I asked about returned broken phones. Best Buy refurbishes them with brand new parts.
Sent from my EVO View using Tapatalk2
For me, sprints Assurian will replace with used and remanufactured unless you push hard. For BB, I have always received new units and no questions asked which is why I am still using them and won't ever change again. Again, your results my vary depending on where you are and circumstances.

Glass protruding not flush with the frame , and one corner very loose, and now it's back ordered from asurion so might be more than 3 days until I get a replacement

That sucks
Sounds like lackluster quality control.

That sucks! Same kinda thing would happen to me through Sprint. Sent through about 3 or 4 in about 2 weeks with my 3D. One was heavily scratched (which they refused to send back even tho the one I turned in was not, but that one ended up not connecting right so it went back anyway) another rattled heavily with sound, by the time I got my last one, if that didn't work, they said they "might" give me a new one.
