I've noticed that the LTE hasn't been getting too much love compare to what the og evo got when it first came out, but it is still a relatively new phone and the first source dropped not too long ago. But personally, there isn't much I don't have with the rooted stock rom right now. I have EOS JB on my Xoom and other than Google Now, not really missing much based on my usage style.
"This device will be downgraded to Froyo due to Apple patents"
Maybe because HTC has more One X/XL/S/V models sold than Evo 4g lte. Also maybe Sprint never agreed to release JB on the evo 4g lte? I dunno...

the reason why it hasn't been announced is that sprint has partner shop with htc as far as updates goes same reason why the sgsIII received like three updates before we got our first one even tho the evo was put before
Honestly, I don't care. I have a Nexus 7 and it isn't super buttery smooth compared to ICS like the the tech sites are making it out to be. It feels the same to me. Though I feel ICS is as smooth as it gets most of the time anyway except for immediately after unlocking the phone when it has been asleep for awhile. It would be nice to be on the current OS but I don't feel like ICS is a major step back. The notifications of Android 4.1 are nice though.
If Sprint holds true to its past with upgrades we will see it shortly after the next EVO device is launched.
You guys honestly complain so much. What's wrong with the way the phone performs now? Chill out and enough questions about jelly bean. It will come when it comes. This phone is a flagship HTC one X phone for sprint...do you honestly believe we won't get the next one or two (possibly 3) iterations of android?

... it took less than 2 months for the original EVO 4G to updated to Froyo... I'd say that is a better example of Sprint's record with updating a new device, than comparing it to updating devices that are fairly old (the EVO 4G was 6 months old when Gingerbread came out, and was updated about 6 months after that).
They said the One XL will get it, so we can count on the devs to then get it to us from there. No worries.
Devs > Sprint.

I'd rather be stuck on ICS forever than have my favorite apps not work properly with JB.
Yes i know its "almost the same" but almost doesn't mean it is. I tried apex on a JB build and it wouldn't even start, so either that build is missing something or its not as almost as everyone makes it out to be.

LTE owners should view this as if they were installing a cumulative Windows Update patch, like SP1, which will fix things... And break things... Such as backwards compatibility with apps.
However, with that being said, I'll be flashing Jelly Bean the same second it is released. CM10 AOSP, where are you?

What the heck is the deal with the new EVO V 4G on Virgin Mobile. This phone is literally the exact same that we are using and it comes with an OFFICIAL ICS update. We EVO 3D users still do not have a truly official ICS update, so what the heck? Why don't original EVO 3D owners have a ICS upgrade while owners of the exact same phone with a different name do. WTF HTC?!?!? First HTC phone and probably last; the lack of support(dev included, compared to other phones of the same calibre) is just ridiculous. Looks like the next google device is the way to go.

Sprint did this to keep the production and life of the EVO 3D going, just on a "different" carrier. Even when I called Sprint to have my EVO 3D replaced a couple weeks ago, they were going to try and figure out a way to send me a Virgin Mobile 3D and get it working on Sprint (Yeah, they actually said that. Then I told them, 'I'm pretty sure you guys can't do that.')
This way the EVO 3D and WiMax lives on for a little longer, and they can usher in the LTE with their new lineup. WiMax will be a hand-me-down to Virgin Mobile eventually, just like the EVO 3D is to them, and the EVO Design is to Boost.

Can't blame the developers for the degree of difficulty it takes to make custom roms for this phone without sources. I can honestly say if it wasn't for the 3d camera stuff, this phone would have a hell of a lot more development. Now HTC has been sandbagging as far a source code and kernel information and this is making me look more and more at the Galaxy S3 vs the Evo Lte.

I am running an ICS ROM and there are absolutely no bugs at all. The front camera reversing the pics was an instagram bug, not ICS and blaming anyone but yourself for flashing the VM firmware is just plain silly. If you want to blame anybody, blame sprint. The reason that VM got ICS is because Sprint didn't have to take a buttload of time adding their crapware to the image and then more time testing it. They should have done what they have done in the past and "leak" the image for us to "test" and find the bugs.

Yes, the firmware was my fault but to be fair some of the first leaks said to flash it for the rom to work. I don't want to offset the blame, but at the time we didn't know much about it and i was impatient (my fault for that).
Anyway... I don't have instagram, never installed it... yet still have that bug. i've had it since a full wipe. Tried 3 different roms... exists in all. so not sure why I have it if others experience it.
I've had that reversed front camera issue for awhile. Doesn't bug me though, it still remains on my current Rom (MikVirgin). Certain camera apps allow you to flip that ffc image, apparently this happens on plenty of other devices also.

I've complained to Sprint on the delay of ICS for the EVO 3D. They have told me that they don't have the software and are unable to send it. Also they have told me that they have no control when HTC will send the upgrade to them.
Now, this makes no sense to me. I would think that Sprint has something to do with this and it's not just a HTC issue. In fact, HTC told me that it's a joint effort between them and Sprint, which makes sense to me.
This BS with the update is really making me consider getting a Galaxy Nexus for my next phone. But, I have concerns about Sprint just refusing to let the update happen, which is what I think is going on with the EVO 3D ICS update.
So, to my question, how do system updates work?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using Tapatalk 2
I truly don't believe its a sprint issue at this point. HTC has been less than forthcoming about updates for the 3d (or any HTC phone, for that matter).
I'm sure sprint has to QC check and approve/push the update (and probably has final say as to whether or not the update gets pushed at all) but I'm fairly certain the ball is in HTCs court right now.
Then again, this is 100% opinion and speculation on my end - I'm probably completely off base.

Oh yeah, that. That's been known for a while.
Regardless, that still gives HTC 25 more days before they have to provide sprint with software to test (assuming that is, in fact, the way it works - I still don't know) just to be compliant with their own schedule. On top of that, sprint will have to test and approve the update before pushing it out.
IMO, I think we'd see leaked RUUs for sprint if they actually had a functional ROM in testing right now. But at the same time, we've got the leaked ROM from virgin mobile, so who knows?
Either way, I'm glad I jumped ship and left sprint
Sent from my HTC One X
Ok, so I just revisited the 3d forums for the first time since jumping ship.
I revise my opinion. Based on the fact that pretty much every other carrier seems to be receiving OTA updates (based on the massive number of threads in the general forum), I'm gong to go ahead and assume that sprint has, in fact, dropped the ball on this one.
Sent from my HTC One X
I would assume that once HTC finally developes the updates, Sprint test it and adds/deletes anything they want to before it is released to the end user.
Ok, yes, we agree that Sprint sucks on getting the upgrade out.
However, my question still stands. How Do Updates Work? I'm presuming that Google sends the upgrade to HTC, they make it work on their OS. Then they send it to Sprint, which makes their changes to work on their network and then they deliver the update.
Anyone got a clue?

I understand that, but we don't even have ICS source for cdma, and we are supposed to get JB? thats more along the lines of what I meant. Either way, I will probably be running a copy of it before sprint even thinks about supporting it. Love the dev's around here!
Moral of the story ...don't post without proof
I don't think HTC will upgrade anything earlier than the one range because essentially they will have to develop two types of ROMs ...for the one series with imagesense and the rest of the range without image sense capabilities.
But you never know,shout enough and maybe they'll listen

Your device is running Android 4.0.3 (ICS) You can read about what version it's running from the settings>about menu. Android code names can be read from Google or Wikipedia. There are plenty of reasons the GS3 seems 'cooler' but only you can decide which you'd rather have, as they both run radically different UI overlays, even though they're running roughly the same version of Android (GS3: 4.0.4). Your EVO LTE is fully capable of running Jelly Bean officially. However, there are currently no stable daily driver worthy Jelly Bean custom ROMs available. As for an update to Jelly Bean? Only HTC and Sprint know the answers to that, but I assume like all the other EVOs, it will survive an update to at least one higher Android version, Jelly Bean being that version. When? I wouldn't expect one for quite a while. Your 4G icon was indeed LTE, because your phone does not have a WiMAX radio and the icon you saw is precisely what you should be seeing.

Yeah it's Ics 4.0.3 but themed a lot by sense and literally what your looking for spec wise I think it's exactly like the s3 spec wise IMHO, and I had the s3 returned it to get the EVO because the s3 physical build quality suck, I can't deal with the plastic and if you think the s 3 Is cool go and get that you have 14 days til you get charged a other activation fee or 30 days in most store its honestly your opinion both are great phones literally I view them as the same except one HTC one Samsung, HTC just caters to the features I like the camera is amazing and dedicated button also plus lcd is better on my eyes and I like the color better not so saturated.
And yes of course the phone can run jelly bean there's unofficial roms that work really good and as for a official update who knows lte hasn't been getting so much love I remember reading a article where sprint or HTC forgot which got bashed on for not advertising it and blaming as that's the reason it failed mainstream ( that's why you see a lot more EVO commercials now if you haven't noticed), but either way we will be getting a 100% working jelly bean one way or the other.
And for the icon I wouldn't know but common sense would say it's the because I don't remember this phone supporting 4G wimax
So dude its your decision ones really mainstream the other is like it's neglected twin both are the same one just got advertised well and at the same time doesn't change the hardware though so have fun contemplating.....
Fyi most of this is my humble opinion the rest is common sense read the forums posts and relax dude its a phone........ and heck I didn't even know there was a jelly bean port until after 2 weeks I dived into some old title post but frequently posted on.... Learned a lot that day Haha

I just wanted to note that my wife has the gsIII and I have the EvoLTE- and I can say the only difference I can tell between the two are..
EvoLTE:
better screen
better camera (pictures)
better UI
kickstand/physical camera button
GSIII
better external speaker
bigger screen ( you can really tell a difference when they are side by side )
2gigs of ram
But really both still have the small lag problems. With the EvoLTE having less lag and I don't see this problem being fixed without JB or a custom rom..
also battery life on both are about the same..

i thought...fromw hat i have read..that the gsIII only comes with 2gig ram if you get a world edition. but i must have read wrong somewhere. hmmmmm
Yea I was under the impression you have not read anything ..the s4 version (dual core) has the 2 gb of RAM...so that includes the US version...play with both and make a decision..the dev scene here has picked up a lot lately
Given that the GS3 is locked and you will have to lay down serious bank for the Developer Edition that's going to drop soon, the LTEVO has a serious edge there as well.

Your device is running Android 4.0.3 (ICS) You can read about what version it's running from the settings>about menu. Android code names can be read from Google or Wikipedia. There are plenty of reasons the GS3 seems 'cooler' but only you can decide which you'd rather have, as they both run radically different UI overlays, even though they're running roughly the same version of Android (GS3: 4.0.4). Your EVO LTE is fully capable of running Jelly Bean officially. However, there are currently no stable daily driver worthy Jelly Bean custom ROMs available. As for an update to Jelly Bean? Only HTC and Sprint know the answers to that, but I assume like all the other EVOs, it will survive an update to at least one higher Android version, Jelly Bean being that version. When? I wouldn't expect one for quite a while. Your 4G icon was indeed LTE, because your phone does not have a WiMAX radio and the icon you saw is precisely what you should be seeing.

the original evo went through two android versions
2.1 eclair
2.2 froyo
current:
2.3 gingerbread
and its likely for the evo lte to get android version 5.0 do called key lime pie.

Even if we get it in October, should hold me over for my next upgrade around April of 2014.

I hate to be a burster of bubbles, however this tweet explicitly mentions the HTC One, and makes no reference to the Evo LTE, or even the HTC One X series of phones. It confirms nothing at all about any update coming for our device.

It doesn't have to explicitly say it, since EVO LTE is a carrier specific phone, spun-off from HTC ONE X. Also, EVO LTE got the Jelly bean here first IIRC before HTC ONE X did here in the states. So if history is any indication, I think it does apply to EVO LTE.

However, this tweet is referring to the HTC One, not the HTC One X. The HTC One is the newest phone from HTC, and is about a year newer than the HTC One X. It was the one that launched with 4.2 and Sense 5 already on it.
I hope so......

You're right. It is referring to ONE and not ONE X. My bad on this one. I was seeing X after ONE for some reason.
Holy hell does anyone actually read what they are posting? As stated above ...this is in reference to the newest flagship model the htc one..completely different phone from the evo lte

No, that's specifically for the HTC One family.
We didn't even get 4.2 yet, why would we jump to 4.3?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
You can flash 4.3 ROMs already from the development sections.

They're skipping 4.2 on the One line because it was a "minor" update. I guess it wasn't too much trouble to just leapfrog it to 4.3 so they did.
