Yeah I like it the only thing I am missing now is official ota ics update.
There are a few things that bug me like my digitizer dieing, HTC taking their sweet time to release source code, HTC not releasing source code for 3d and 4G.... but not much else.
Seems like there are as many roms as for the og evo, which is kinda why i grabbed it. i know the epic 4g touch is faster blah blah, i just don't like Samsung.

Yes. Waiting for update too.
Yes love my 3d just waiting for the Ics update!
No I am not, but my complaints have more to do with Sprint than the phone.
When I first got the phone it was terrible though, widgets deleting themselves at random, wallpaper changes itself, phone crashed and reboots, battery drain in 2 hours sometimes, signal dropping out for no reason whenever I tried to send a text, phone freezing at the black screen when trying to wake it up.
Then root and s-off came around and the phone has been great ever since. Custom ROMs really fix this phone. Unfortunately, they cant fix Sprint's terrible network.
They all suck until they're rooted ,all that Sprint bloated....does anyone use the 3d? I know I won't use it especially since sense will be wiped off my phone.

i had touchwiz and sense. Samsung devices dont come close to htc and sense in consumer usability and multitasking. stop arguing about these things. sense is better then touchwiz period. Sense is better then aosp period. aosp is better then touchwiz,period. Htc is a better quality device then samsung period. Then it comes down to processor. Qualcomm is better then samsung in that department period. Stop arguing about stupid things. 3D is the future period. HTC EVO 3d is the best superphone to date, so stop complaining and do something usefull then arguing my logic here

I agree with you, except aosp is my personal preference.

super happy with my E3D. waiting on some fully functional ICS goodness, AOSP or Sense I really don't care (love sense, but IMO ICS brings a lot to the table that I used to need sense for, so I'll take whatever gives me ICS with a camera first). I do use the 3D rarely, but can easily live without is; cool feature to have available though.
I love this phone, its fast, smooth and great battery life.
I was having regrets when I first got it. Once virus release Eternity a lot of that regret faded. Once Chad released Anthrax RLS9 I was going "omg i love this phone!"
I am loving my 3vo since the first day it came out. Now I love it even more with MeanROM on it. Fast, tweaked out the way I like it, and 4g is great where I live. I have 14 3d movies that I watch with my Sony MW600.

I love my 3D! Some of the roms I use regularly are Blackend and EvoZone. Blackend is quite smooth and themed. EvoZone is stock with blue instead of green. Very happy with my 3D!
I actually use the 3D a lot. I watch a ton of 3D movies and have played most of the 3D games. I love it.

lol that's a lot of .
Also, its just your opinion and personal preference. Samsung actually does processors much better than the Qualcomm Snapdragon because power consumption is better and performance is a bit better on direct competing models of processors WiMax is done far better on Samsung than HTC as well. I still like my EVO 3D though
I prefer AOSP with Launcher Pro, I hate sense. But thats just a personal preference like you and how you love Sense.
Thanks all,few more hours I'llbe rooting,haven'thad a new phone since the EVO4g launch

I'm having trouble deciding between the galaxy nexus and the evo lte I like sense and want a device with good longevity is there anyone who's thought about this before if so what was your choice?
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium
I'm sure there's alot of ppl on here who have had the same question. Theres a few other threads about it, but like others have said I think it all comes down to personal preference because both phones will perform similar. Go play with both of them to make it a little easier
The nexus will with out a doubt get jelly bean first. The EVO is the best build quality. It's pesonal choice but for me I will stick to the EVO. I tried nexus before and liked it, but all mods and ROMs where the same. And I hate all that plastic

this is a tough choice im leaning towards evo right now though is build quality of the evo really as good as people say?

man with out a doubt go with the evo. i have both and i can tell you right now you will not be disappointed. i love my evo. great UI and outstanding build quality.
but over all its about your personal preference.
ltevO!!!!!
Had both and I kept my evo only cause evo has better reception then my galaxy nexus did, but other then that the galaxy nexus is a really good phone IMO cant go wrong with neither, but if you want dates update probably nexus, but if you want a reliable phone for the next two years, both phone will do this, I got rid of mine but I should have kept both

There is absolutely no competition here.....
EVO 4G LTE hands down.
I'm thinking there is a better dev community here with the evo so I'm a little less worried about updates
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium
I've had the LTEvo for over a week now and all I can say is WOW. Aside from being super smooth with sense and all that jazz, the battery life is just plain nuts. I have yet to see it go below 70% and I leave it on from 7am til 11pm. I use it to browse and play music a good bit, too. Another thing I am waaay impressed with is how fast it turns on and off. I can turn it on and off and on again faster than my HTC Thunderbolt turns on! It also runs the psx emulator a TON better than my tbolt, so I'm happy with my ffix Sense 4.0 FTW
In terms of Dev and community support, HTC will always take the cake there. There might be a chance that a new nexus will be release before Jelly Beans comes out, but that's just heresay. I'm also under the opinion that google will be shifting a lot of there goodies to Motorola phones now since they bought it out.
P.S.- the camera is by far the best one I have seen, although I'm sure there will be people that say they've seen better on other phones, but meh.
The last phone I owned on Sprint was the Galaxy Nexus (switched to Straight Talk on an international GS3). I would say go for the Evo 4G LTE. The "awesomness of a stock experience" wears off pretty quickly. Sense 4.0 adds features and isn't as bloated as previous versions. More importantly, the SLCD2 screen is much sharper than the SAMOLED Plus screen on the Nexus, and the Nexus is running last year's features and noticeably lags.
Stock can also be on an unlocked rooted evo so is there really a big difference between the nexus?
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium
Definitely go with the LTEvo. I was in the same boat as you, and was completely torn between the Gnex and the Evo. I had previously owned the OG Evo, and the Evo 3D, and while of course interested in the LTEvo, I was enticed by the sexy look of the Gnex, the pure AOSP, and the immediate updates from Google. I played with the Gnex for a while, but the moment I held the LTEvo in my hands I knew it was no contest.
Build quality is way better, screen is the best I'd ever seen on a phone, expandable storage, larger battery, improved radios...it's a beast. And the dev community is steadily growing, especially since the phone has only been out to the general public for about 3 weeks. There's a largely functional CM9 ROM already (capable of being a daily, depending on your needs, as it's only really missing MMS, multitouch, camcorder) if you crave AOSP, and I'm sure we won't be that far behind the curve in terms of getting JB.
The Gnex is a great phone, dont get me wrong, and not many people who've gotten a Nexus phone have ever really regretted it. But it's age is starting to show, and at this point, the LTEvo is definitely going to last longer technologically speaking.

The Gnex has the best development community right now. But yes, the Evo is good too. Just not better.
To OP, if you want updates first without waiting and worrying, get the Nexus. If you want Sense and better specs, get the Evo. We'll have our devs give us JB before HTC does, at least.

Significantly better specs, at that. After a while, software doesn't matter if the hardware is behind. Oh and also, the Nexus has TERRIBLE terrible camera, especially compared to the Evo. When I say terrible, I mean even my Sony Ericsson W580i took better pictures, I'm not exaggerating.

True, but I would argue that this phone stock, Sense and all, runs about as smooth as the Gnex does stock as well. The spec difference is kind of less obvious due to Sense. Running stock ICS on this phone would really show the difference. Gaming as well. But as someone who does not game that much on a cellphone, I would say that the difference in power between the two, while admittedly large, isn't as huge when it comes to non-gaming performance, thanks to Sense.
This phone is still much better though. Even if someone doesn't completely understand how much more powerful it is, anyone can see that this phone can run something as heavy as Sense as smooth as the Gnex runs stock ICS.
Tl;dr: I agree with you.

HTC why are you crippling the development of your recent devices? ive been a fan of htc. got the original G1, motorola cliq (FACCKKK WHAT A MISTAKE! hopefully moto made their devices better), nexus one, G2 and now.... the amaze
i got the amaze since day 1 of its release. hoping its development would blossom like the nexus one and G2. blehh guess it didnt! ive been looking through the threads here and it looks like HTC has issues releasing kernel sources and that severely cripples development. all we get are broken roms. its kinda irritating that HTC's dev community are practically bothering HTC about it yet they just give us generic answers lol im surprised dev's here got as far as they did without any support from htc
Im thinking about moving on to a new device... i was hoping to get another HTC phone (HTC ONE X+ anyone?) but who says that HTC might do what they did with the amaze again. Im thinking about transitioning to a new company all together? samsung? or maybe Motorola (their new QWERTY key boards are to die for). From reading reviews they look amazing but there is one issue its build quality... HTC makes the best phones when it comes to hardware. I wanted to get the galaxy nex but the specs isnt all that tantalizing. thats why im reluctant to move out. but im prlly borderline
The company thats prlly as good as HTC when it comes to build quality is SONY. Xperia S looks nice.. esp the transparent strip. But i want it to glow different colors like the xperia u. I just wish it would work on tmobile 4g. Other than that this is prlly on par to htc's build quality.
Hopefully HTC will make a new nexus device with killer specs this fall.
HTC Y U DO THIS?
I agree with u 110% I "moved on" to the galaxy nexus. And the older specs don't mean much, it obliterates the amaze in performance. But the build quality is real bad. Every time my phone vibrates it feels like its going to dismantle itself. I still have the amaze, and when I go back to play with it, its So slow and stuttery, but the phone feels so amazing in my hand I love the build quality. And the camera is MAGNIFICENT! Both phones have pros and cons! I give so much props to the Devs here they keep working at it even though htc is working against them :'(

yea! i was afraid of that... too light and too clunky. I mean the htc one S is light but it's build quality blows all of samsung's phones out when it came to that. but the development is amazing for gnex.... i want the paranoid rom ported to the amaze but thats aosp based lol and the amaze doesnt even have that yet!
htc must make the next nexus! ughhh no more samsung. i dont want to jump the band wagon yet.
considering google owns motorola now, by the time I'm ready to upgrade I wouldn't be surprised if I'll have a moto in my pocket. Aside from the build quality I can't stand for what HTC has done to its customers. I expect HTC to get worse too, so now that you know they're capable of doing what they've done, they won't get my business again

Unfortunately it's pretty unlikely that we'll be seeing any ground-breaking development for the Amaze... We've been itching for a fully working AOSP ROM for at least half a year and even though we've got S-Off, it obviously hasn't made as much of an impact on the progress of AOSP ROMs as we had hoped.
I'm still using an Amaze, stock rooted and debloated, but I've pretty much given up hope on a viable AOSP ROM for this device. I've seen so many people post about saying how this beast of a device will finally be unleashed when blah blah blah blah but honestly, a GNexus with its inferior specs will hands down beat the Amaze into the ground in performance and smoothness.
This device was a total let down. The specs on paper looked awesome at the time and the build quality looked to be much better than other phones, and yet here we are with the capacitive button light bleed, camera flash leak, squeaking backplate, and god knows what else there may be.
All I can say is that I will probably never buy another HTC device in the future because of this experience.

One x/s build quality? S maybe but not x, x has so many hardware issues >.<
Samsung's quality is not really in question. It's just how it feels... A lighter phone is smarter and the plastic is a lot less likely to crack. My vibrant never creaked or had any weird physical issues. And chances are with a lighter phone the screen is less likely to break or crack from a fall. A lot of people like it. I personally love the feeling of the amaze in my hand. The weight gives the impression of it being more durable I like my phone having a little weight to it.
And I know there's a lot of talk about the amaze being poor but honestly I'm just happy we even got ics. Seriously, I had a sensation and this at the same time and this stock gb, compared to my sensation on ics aosp, the amaze was much smoother. May not be everyone's experience but was the case for me. Also I had multiple sensations that got dust under the screen very easily. And know several others with the same issue. I know the sensation is also HTC but to say the amaze was a failure or similar things, I have to disagree. As far as htc, yeah its a little disappointing what they've done. And Samsung is seeming to change for the better but back with my vibrant, the HTC devices I saw were getting froyo updates months before we had any signs of getting an update. Was quite frustrating. Ha back then all the talk was #neveragainsamung now it's htc. Interesting

Ha yeah that dust was an epidemic! And it could happen at any time /shudders freaking nightmare I tell ya! And yeah I mean every phone company has their peak and their fall. Sammy hasn't been the best with updating their devices and while we had everything else working when we finally got custom roms not based on touchwiz it took an eternity to get gps working without them releasing the drivers. And gps blew anyway. I think it took the sgs ii the same time as us to get ics. It's not that Sammy is doing great customer relation business its just that htc is plummeting, making them look good and htc isn't thinking of the customer... No memory expansion, no battery removal. That's irritating to me. The grass is always greener though! I thought I saw Sony devices are pretty decent and updated pretty quickly that's hearsay though.

I've owned every HTC android device on Sprint since the Hero and I must say, the EVO 4G was the only great experience I've had. I like to hack my phone, custom ROMs, theming, the whole nine yards. The EVO 4G was the best phone I've ever owned but I really can't say one way or another if I'll buy another HTC again as it all depends on what they offer.
I like how Samsung has unified the GS3 and may end up with a GS4 next year but the EVO line is inconsistent and being carrier exclusive can limit the developer following and tends to easily be forgotten. I'm hoping HTC makes one flagship phone for all carriers (think One X on every carrier with a black/red model called "EVO" for Sprint). That way the phones are the same not matter how you look at it... just my two cents.
Hope that makes sense.. really tired on third shift.
They need to make a EVO line accros all carry and make that there flagship phone.. And it needs to be a cutting edge device when they release it. Samsung got it right the g3. I am a fan of HTC but they just don't seem to get it anymore. Yea I know you guys will want the EVO line to stay sprint exclusive but we get screwed. The g3 bei g across all carries they get all the cool accessories and development.

Samsung is a good company and make awesome devices but they a sorta like apple when apple fan thanks about android they thank about g3 and when when we thank about them we thank about iPhone there are so many android phones out there and what I mean about I want some thing that no one has is a good powerful device that no one want like the evo lte mostly every one in my small town has a g2 g3 or a iPhone so I want some different
sprint
Sprint has a lot of android phone but no really big one with development mostly the ones with development are evo late g3 sorta note 2 g2 and the nexus and 4/5 of those devices are Samsung so if the m7 comes out on sprint I might get and put caynogmod on so I like to thank I have a nexus
Both htc and Samsung are making good phones. Everyone has their preference. I recently switched to the gs3 from the evo lte because I wanted something different. I like both phones though.
Having said that, now I need to be a grammar nazi, please punctuate. It's difficult to read your posts.

OK man. I love how the g3 looks but so many people have it. Nexus 4 looks awesome but you can't find it in stores. I'm the one that like to see the phone first before I get it. G3 just has so many users. If the rumoured HTC m7 comes out on sprint I might get but I get the rumoured g4 when it comes out. But the g4 will have a lot out users I am a picky person to my phones
Yea, I wouldn't buy a phone if I couldn't try it out in person either. I'm excited to see what htc has in store for its next release. After using the gs3, it will be a tough decision between the gs4 and the next htc phone.
yeah
I'm just tired of HTC sence so I might just get a Samsung but I love HTC build hardware
I've been wanting to go Samsung. But i cant stand the cheap light feel of their phones and i hate AMOLED.

I will most likely stick with HTC. I do wish they pushed our devices like the competition does for theirs though. Seems like our options get limited by the company's neglect.

I will always be with HTC, I cant stand Samsung screens and the plastic feel. I would consider Motorola if the right device came along, but Sprint never seems to get anything good from Moto.
After selling my Amaze and having the S3 for about a month. I am starting to miss my amaze. Here are the reasons why:
I miss the fact that it was more sturdy. I dropped my Amaze many times, and never cracked the screen, but I dropped the S3 once, and the screen cracked.
Also even if I did crack the amaze screen, It would only have to spend $70-100 to fix it (compared to $250-300 on the S3).
Comparing the speed, the S3 is faster, but it's not major fast over the amaze. I think the Amaze was just enough for me as speed.
The amaze is a rare phone, but I like that. I like to be different from everyone else. But it's hard to be different when everyone and their mother (literally) has an S3. I'm just getting tired of looking at them. I like having a iPhone if you have an S3.
Last and not least...The Camera. Believe it or not, the Amaze camera is still a tad better than the S3s , and I miss my dedicated camera buttons.
I also saw yesterday that CM10 is coming along great, and the drivers have just been released. So I am going to give my S3 to my girlfriend for her Amaze (as an early birthday gift). I actually cannot wait to come back into the Amaze development. I kinda miss HTC sense, and HBoot lol
I clicked the thanks button by mistake but i got to say i was gonna switch to an s3 and ill still get it or wait for the next galaxy s or a better htc phone... I also think that the s3 camera is still a little lower than the amazes since i compared it to my brothers s3 but i got to say the screen looked great and size felt good on my hand....
Over all the amaze was the first big thing then they killed it with the crappy htc one s for us T-Mobile users they shouldve made it more similar to the one x
"HTC Amaze - Nightmare Sense 1.6"
"HTC Sensation - MIUI"
"LG G2x - Stock and overclocked"
"LG Thrill - Slim Stock Rom"
I was gonna switch to the nexus 4 , but the default launcher/out of the box is too boring for me... I prefer Sense, TouchWiz, stuff like that.
but glad you're coming back!
And did you know that they took the HTC Amaze off of the T-mobile web-site o:

You are aware that there are launchers and CM themes that recreate the experience, right? Also, look into how to sort of recreate the experience yourself or make the screen look like what you want.
I'M OFFICALLY BACK!! I just score a Perfect Condition Amaze for $100 (it was a insurance replacement). I bought it with no battery or cover. I took my girlfriend's extra battery she had, and I just ordered a white battery cover for $7 off ebay (surprised they are so cheap, due to all those antennas arrays in there). So I should hopefully be fully up and running by Thrusday. Now I am going to sell my S3 with a cracked screen, and the other parts I have, and keep some cash in my pocket
Welcome back. With all the talent we have here its only a matter of time before we get cm9, cm10.1 and wificalling up and running in no time. The guys from cm10 have been doing a great job troubleshooting bug tracking and fixing cm10 for our device.

I still have my Amaze after getting the GNote and will have to agree with a lot of what you said. I like that it is different enough and haven't seen one in the part of Va I'm in, of course I can say the same about the Note. I see S3 like it's a common thing to have, like calculators in the 80s and pagers in the 90s. I love the camera and the dedicated camera button, I have to say it is better than the S3 and the GNote. As far as speed it considered I think it's a close tie between the three, put CM9/10 and they seem to run the same, throw Sense or Touchwiz on them and they have their strengths and weaknesses.
Lol

Yeah i know lol, it's just to plain for me
i can see where you're coming from but in all honesty the S3 is a better phone. the amaze did feel better in the hand but the s3 feels fine too
If only there was a Fully working sense 4 for the S3................

Sense on a Samsung device!? Wouldn't that hose up the space/time continuum or something?

Oh...shame, it really is the best Android device. I would get it, but money prohibits me, especially since i have a Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus already...its worth it if you can, especially since you can customize to your heart's content.

yes but devs got it booting on the international S3 and the S2
Since the the One S/X have the same S4 chip its possible i guess

you got me thinking, if i should get it or not again lol . It is true that you can customize it, so i'll look at more reviews to see if there's isn't anything I don't like, so far there's nothing

Ohh no doubt the S3 is a better phone (faster, very nice screen), but I'm basically saying that the Amaze is just enough for me. It does everything I want. And plus the money I save from selling the S3 will go toward a nexus 7 tablet .

I LOVE my Nexus 7. Running PA 2.54 because 4.2 burns battery still a bit too much, so for now im sticking with 4.1. Seriously its so amazing. Its screen may not have the same punch as a AMOLED screen but its still damn good.

+1 for the Nexus7
THE best device for the money. Hands down. Anyone whose wondering, stop and go get it. It's GREAT
