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?

its all personal preference , personally im not a fan of samsung build quality compared to htc's , but its all up to you , spend time playing with both phones
Isn't the hassle free time period to do swaps of this manner 14 days, not 30?

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.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"
Don't know how accurate that is but Idk why it would take so long to connect.

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
After only owning this phone I hated it, I'm on it too much .I use over 1.3gb on 3g and I cant stop looking at YouTube videos, want to know more and more about it by Googling ... For real tho I'm happy with this phone and is the best decision I made since the OG evo... Gs3 is about to come out and even tho I don't have it I don't feel like I need too , a lot people is trying to return their phone cause another is coming out... I been there before and sometimes we don't think it thru. I'm happy with my phone ans some of us don't realize how great it is .no phone is perfect.

I'm going to have to agree with the OP. I have the same problem. I can't put the thing down. The screen is very nice and vibrant. I even put Fast Five on it the other day and have watched it about 3 times with the beautiful 720p screen and Beats audio using my Skullcandy 50/50s. There are people out there who are truly disappointed in the phone, and that can be their opinion. This should be the EVO 4G LTE lover's thread.
I too can't put the thing down. Screen is beautiful.
ok I agree totally. I mean I was glued to my old Epic but the screen on this thing is so sharp I actually started to read books on it.
my buddy is waiting for the gs3 but I think the screen on this phone is the top selling point.
I'm typing this while watching the video from Conan. Doesn't get much better for me. I agree 100%. We always want more, so the issue is accepting what we have and not getting upset at what we don't. I'm making a stand against my ego and accepting this device as what I need and adjusting to it. This thing is awesome as is and any shortcomings are way better than the razor I had just a few years ago. And the support from this community will only unlock more of its potential for us.

Something I want to add:
I am extremely anal about dead pixels. Not because I expect a display to be 'perfect' but because of my personal ocd issues. They bug the hell out of me. I had one on my Evo3D and it annoyed me EVERY time I turned it on.
On this phone I have a dead on at the top and then two stuck ones. I don't notice them. Unless I get half an inch away from the screen I don't even know they're there. That's how awesome the screen is. You simply can't tell pixels apart from your normal viewing distance. Hell I could probably have more dead pixels and not know it. You even might. The thing is, the only way you'll know is if you get extremely upclose, turn the brightness all the way up and search pixel by pixel.
That's the only "con" I have against this device and as you can see it isn't even a con. Hands down the best piece of hardware I've ever owned.

Yes serious. Radio in this is a joke. My og epic's data is way faster on 3g in the same areas as where I'm using this and sense really sucks. Non removable battery, you have to download programs just to access the internal storage what a joke. If your not tech savvy then yeah this phone is for you but a die hard Samsung is the only the way.
If you wanted to buy a different sprint phone today without committing to a new contract, I would argue that there is no phone better at this price point. The fact that this phone can be purchased used on craigslist for $100, rooted and rommed up with just a minimal amount of hassles is mindboggling. If someone can show me a better deal please do.
I consider that the Evo 3D with ICS is a better phone than S3(which is a crappy copy of iPhone)

You're joking, right?
1) Out of nowhere you compared the two phones.
2) The galaxy s3 is better than the evo 3d. What you said is like saying the Xbox 360 is better than the ps4. The ps4 will come out later with next Gen hardware. The galaxy s3 will come out later with next Gen hardware.
3) The s3 is a copy of the iPhone? Is that a joke? Just because they have a hardware home button doesn't suddenly make them iPhone clones. Other than that, they are probably the complete opposite of iPhones.

IMHO Samsung makes great appliances(home electronics, washers, dryers, etc.) Their cellular phones don't do anything for me and as a previous user stated, the build quality is less than impressive. The screens always have that weird hue to them prolly due to AMOLED which i dont find appealing. And the samsung phones i've played with or friends that have them seem to have lots of issues with signal retention. Lets not forget the countless GPS problems that have been complained about on many occasions.

Absolutely. My only beef with the Evo is its size (I have relatively small hands), but Nexus is about the same anyway. Actually had to get a small case for the evo to make it thicker though.
Runs great, very good phone call clarity, display is visible even in the sun (when turned up to 100%). At night on darkest setting it's still not too bright, even as a bedside alarm clock.
Yes, this phone has exceeded my expectations.. its super fast, they have finally made the hardware meet the demands of the software, only downside is that the SGIII comes with 2GB of ram, this would have made the evo even better.. but it hasnt slowed down yet.. i love it

There's one thing holding me back from getting the EVO 4G LTE and that's MIUI! I was wondering if anyone has tried the MIUI home launcher yet? I may just get it still I just want something a little more fast than the Ol OG EVO.

I had the original EVO, and I was really hesitant to take the step to LTE but I love it. The screen is just beautiful. Had to get used to the size, but that was an easy adjustment.
There are of course still a few hiccups, but they are excusable. Personally, the changes they made make the phone feel more professional and efficient, which was a big reason I disliked Sense before. You can access quick apps from the homescreen without having to mod; the quicklaunch is super, too. I'm not sure what exactly makes this one so much greater than any other phone currently available, but I've never regretted the decision.

Development is starting to take off, but only 2 or 3 ROMs really stand out right now. Either way I love this phone

I 2nd that love my phone not to say SGIII isnt going to be bad ass too but i stick with EVO's
Honestly I hated the first EVO traded it back to sprint for a epic that's when the 2 phones first came out. Then I went to the EVO 3D it was fun but then I switched to the epic 4g touch for about 4 months loved that phone so nice. BUT THEN this came out so I got it and since day 1 I absolutely love this phone omg I will never go back to a galaxy not even the 2gb of ram on the s3 phases me LOL

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I'm leaning toward the Evo over the SGSIII for a few reasons: SGSIII has a home button which I think throws off the design, the color options are not that great, and the use of touch wiz. Although the use of custom roms can remedy the touch wiz issue, it won't resolve the latter. HTC on the other hand, kept it professional looking, has no on screen physical buttons, and uses Sense. If I do get this device, it's getting rooted and romed right out the box.
The phone looks great, the hardware is amazing, but the signal is utter crap.
I've tried stock and multiple ROMs and no matter what I do, I have either a signal <-100 dbm or a data lock. It's insanely frustrating. I also can't get it to actually go into roaming exclusively, whether I use the Roaming options mod here at XDA or the Roam Control app (both used after rooting.)
If you have solid Sprint service in your area, no question that you should give this phone a shot. If you go anywhere that your signal is less than 3 bars, try it out for a few days, see if you'll actually have a signal.
I'm a huge fan of completely rectangle phones. Samsung Galaxy S 3 is far too curvy for my preferences.
However looking for these forums it looks like you guys have no end of troubles with this phone?
Have the multitasking issues been solved yet?
Is it possible, likely, that the LTTE connection issues will be resolved with the jelly bean update?
Lol people are just whiny bit*hes. This phone is mothertrucking awesome.

As far as LTE, it depends on the area your in as to weather Sprint has the towers opperational yet.
Multi tasking? Look to zepplins thread its titled" Multitasking breakthrough" in original developement. This phone is bad to the bone. Dont underestimete the developement of it until you actually read through the forums and find out whats here.

Some of the best battery life I've seen in a long time and that's before root. With meanrom I get something like 18 hours constant use that's music, YouTube, regular browsing, netflix and maybe 20 minutes of gaming. I can browse for about four hours on 3g and hardly dent the battery. I have some pretty bad wakelock and still get awesome battery life
As in problems you mean that we can not put this device down??!!!

Yeah I did some more research through the forums after this post and found the one you mentioned about multitasking. It looks like this is quite the popular phone.
Best one x variant out there. SD card slot. Sprints network is getting better everyday. I have some friends and customers on it and they love it. I have the att one x and I have never been happier. Best phones out there.

It is an amazing device for sure. BTW, zepps multitasking mod osnt just for this device its for all android devices which makes it pretty unique. Also its now fully automated, the ultimatic script will run adb and install for you right from your desktop. He also added the V6 supercharger install at the end of it. It really is awesome man. Whenever you decide be it this phone(wise choice) or another try it, i swear by it. Hope to see you around bro, later

Also check-out flex's stock w/ goodies rom. No multitasking mod needed.

Agreed with everything here. I think most of the "complaining" you've seen is us wanting more out of an already incredible phone. Trying to break past the limits the manufacturer was so gracious to bestow upon us.
But as a few have already said, even completely stock, this phone rocks with it's c*ck out. Blazingly fast, one of the best screens available (better than SG3 IMO), incredible battery life, and the list goes on.

Most complaints lately are from uninformed, impatient people who quite often spread misinformation under the assumption that they know what they are talking about because they've used every one click solution for every phone they've owned. Tried to help a guy who kept arguing against me saying this isn't my first rooted phone blah blah blah. When I asked simply what is a governor no answer, what is a scheduler they said task manager. It gets quite frustrating

I do not recommend this phone to anyone. Yes a lot of people on here like to complain just to complain, but if you decide to get this phone. Test the phone out as MUCH as you can and where ever you can in the 14 day period so you can return it if you experience the same crap I do.

Thanks. I decided to go with the Samsung Galaxy S 2 and the HTC EVO V 4g on Virgin Mobile. Combined it's much cheaper than getting on Sprint's network with this phone.

Phone is awesome except for the non removable battery, Sense freeze ups, and Sprint's horrible/inconsistent network which will have you on 2G in many cases. Those were enough reasons for me to go to TMobile after being with Sprint for 12 yrs and get the S3 and save $40 per month (3 lines) on my bill after Sprint slowly increased their prices for each 4G line with insurance (+$13) since the launch of the first Evo.
The Screen, Camera, Keyboard, Craftmanship, and Interface are better on the Evo LTE. It also has the FM Tuner.
The GS3 has better LTE connections on Sprint, has more intuitive software, removable battery, better multitasking, and 2GB RAM which you notice after using both phones. Nova Launcher and HD Widgets are great additions also.
If you are like me and are used to having extra batteries stashed at home, work, and in your car the nonremovable battery will get to you. I even bought one of those portable battery juicers and it just wasn't the same.
