I am really temped to replace my iPhone with this phone. I'm just afraid I'll regret all of the sync able stuff, the iMessage, FaceTime, and the complete stable iOS platform. Any advice?
with facetime, imessage is all apple only crap. you'll just have to get them to download tango so their apple software can be compatible with everyone else
You get 2 weeks to return the phone so why not give it a try

I have a guy on Craigslist that wants to trade his lte for my iPhone. So there'd be no turning back. That's why I'm asking.

iOS is not more stable than android. That's a huge myth. There have been studies that have been dine that show iOS crashes more than android. The difference is android actually tells you when it crashes so you can find a solution. Apple tries to hide it from the user.

I've used both iOS and Android for a really long time.
I gave my iPhone 4S to my dad who barely speaks English because it's sooo basic. It's like a kids toys which is limited to the max. I never felt like I had a "machine" to play with. I felt like I had a flip phone which was only good for talking and texting. Even the web is very limited.
I'm not being biased. I really felt limited with the iPhone. (If you look at my Avi hard enough, you'll see the pic is taken with iPhone.)
The only things I miss about the iphone:
-Good front camera (the colors were better)
-imessage. (although there are 3rd party solutions, and group texting solutions, it was just easier)
All of these features and more are available in the LTEVO, and the LTEVO does it better... FAR better.
I'm not biased. If the iPhone was the best, I would own it, but it is not (given that the iPhone 5 is on the near horizon).
My wife owns the 4s, and it's more of a mobile problem, than a mobile solution, and my benchmark tests 1:1 show the LTEVO as the clear winner.

just dont rip anyone off in the process, duke
I went from the EVO to the 3d to the 4s and literally waited around for the LTE to come out not liking the 4s.
Essentially it comes down to what you like. As nonbiased as these guys/girls want to act they really aren't. No disrespect btw, you'll see my point in a sec.
You came to the LTE forum asking if you should change and why.....now go to the apple forum and ask this and see their "nonbiased" answers. Most of my friends have and love iPhones but they are also not tech junkies, I am. I liked the freedom Android gave me and missed it so I came back. I also liked the OS platform in Android and again the freedom to customize it at will to my specific taste. My Android doesn't look like anyone elses and theirs doesn't loom like anyone else's either. Apple you get different wallpaper lol.
Also, "jailbreaking" is very glitchy IMHO and way more trouble then what you really unlock. Android rooting actually gives you almost unlimited potential to the phone and a rooted Android phone with stock os IMHO is more stable then a jailbroken iPhone. It's also not reliant on a pc or program to reset or do stuff with. I've updated my Rom and stuff on my phone a ton of times and I can't remember the last time I hooked it into my pc. Freedom.
Notice I am saying Android and not LTE btw, just my opinion and experience. It just boils down to what you want to do with the phone. They both essentially do the exact same things. Same apps same calls same text ect...
For the record I still have my 4s, use it as a back up some times. I did like group messaging and the battery but I jailbroke it and battery sucked. Known issue. Plus these devs have gotten these roms to far surpass the iPhone battery no exaggeration.

Ha ha my thoughts exactly. Honestly if you want a great battery and stability go with the Iphone 4, but if you want your phone to do more and are big on functionality and don't want to be tied down thunderbolt. Honestly thus far my TB is my favorite phone. Sure battery life isn't great, but I'm never really in a place I can't charge it...
i honestly love my TB. never really did like the iphone... can't really customize it to your likings, sure you can jailbreak it, but there's only so much that you can do to make it your "own." but to each their own.

Simply put. No.
honestly I came from AT&T iPhone 3GS, I've had more network problems (no lte/3g), my GPS takes about 10 minutes to load, and the battery life sucks.
though I still love the thunderbolt. I'll probably go back to the iPhone 5 when that comes out (inb4 steve jobs controls you) the only thing I notice from jailbreaking iOS compared to rooting android is overclocking. Jailbreaking you can do EVERYTHING else. Full themes, boot logo, remove what you don't want, hell you can even run android on iPhone. Overclocking is the only thing android has on the iPhone.
It's personal opinion, this is a android fanboy site so they're gonna argue... I like both phones. I could have gotten the iPhone 4 but I got the thunderbolt, either way I would have been happy.
Oh P.S., please argue about my post half of you don't even run a *nix based system but are all about DROID OS, but use Windows. Use a real *nix based system then look at droid. Much different. Only people I give props to is CM7 team for developing from ASOP source.

Widgets, notifications = can be done with jailbreak, i have both on my 3GS still
and not all people need those, the only thing you got me on is battery.. i haven't taken out or even used more then a gig on my sdcard, plus carrying around an sdcard seems annoying..
it's all personal opinion really... my thunderbolt is sick like i said i could have got the iphone 4, and i'm 100% happy with the purchase but neither one is the best, both have pro/cons.
and open source, unless your building your own arch systems don't bother throwing that out there, you're probably using windows...
I have the choice of getting the Iphone but not sure If I wanna give up on the Photon just yet. Yes everyday I experience new problems with the current Photon I have but I know the newer models are different. Like when I wifi tether I can't refresh my email. Earlier today Pandora radio wouldnt work the data was out for an hour....So yeah I have one of the bad patches of the Photons.Anywho, for those that know of the Iphone which do you think would be the better phone FOR: world wide use, music(not just songs from your computer), streaming videos from websites, signal.
Thanks
Streaming video is probably gonna be close to the same on either phone from a strictly data point of view as you'll be on the same network. Overall the iphone is horrible for customizing, it is "user friendly" but by that I mean my grandpa could use it well, it's boring and dull. If you've got an Android, and tweaked on it at all. It's not worth the change. Plus iphone doesn't allow insurance through Sprint. You have to take out a policy with Farmers. Which is a pain in the ass if you have to get it fixed. So those are also things to take into account.
iPhone doesn't have Wimax so you can't use a WiFi tether any more

In my opinion Apple is making a big mistake by not supporting 4g. The Iphone is supposed to be the leader. But no 4g = fail. Look at how upset people are that unlock breaks 4g on the Mopho.

Sent from my Photon via XDA
I think on an insurance stand point alone the iPhone 4s is losing. Just imagine buying this phone and losing it or lets say running it over with a car. Your left with no phone and neother sprint or apple care will do anything to help. That makes for a unhappy camper I understand why sprint won't cover it but its not going to be a good thing when something happens to the phone. Good luck getting a replacement online on eBay and Craigslist because we all know the resale of the iPhone is extremely inflated. Just make sure you have a hell of a case and have some sort of tracking software on your phone.
Actually Verizon and AT&T are the same with iphone. Have to get outside insurance for it no matter the carrier. Total fail.

I do still have a couple of droid phones to play around with though, so I'm not completely gone gone.
I already missed my droid after just a few days of iPhone.

the hassle isnt that bad if ur still in the return timeline....it would be more of a pain and hassle to me to know i took an iphone over the the masterminds here at xda that i thank everyday for making my evo what it is.but hey thats my opinion.
yeah im now going to be using a g2x as my primary phone. :-( but ill still have my 3d as a voip phone at home. bye sprint hi tmobile 30 dollar prepaid plan
I know, I'll get a lot of hate for saying this, but the iPhone 4S is a really good phone. Perfect shape, size, screen, camera, everything a man could wish for in a smartphone. But the dealbreaker for me is iOS. iOS just looks like an app drawer to me, and even after "jailbreaking" an iOS device there is still not much you can do.
TL;DR I would rather have an iPhone than an Evo 3D if it wasn't plagued by iOS.

Yes this may never work, but currently at the end of my shift at work, and I started thinking what would really show people what's going on behind the scenes with Apple suing HTC and Samsung. And this is the idea that I came up with, with the idea that it probably would never work, but hey its just a thought lol.
We've seen HTC comparing itself to Samsungs GSIII, just trying to compare itself. What if HTC and Samsung did it together with Google as the head supporter of Android, with a headline of something around, "Apple's run scared, attempting to ban these phones from you." Or "Meet the phones that Apple is terrified off..." Something in that sense to stir up curiousity and interest in. And on my mind, YMMV, I picture the OG EVO commercials with the Andrioids flying around the phone and showing it off with quotes from reviews.
But in the end, a for more info go to here, to show the potential customer what is going on since none of Apple's lawsuits are very big in the news unfortunately.
Obviously HTC and Sammy fans don't get along too well, but the Android OEMS seriously need to stick together for some time if they're ever going to have a chance if Apple keeps chipping away at them with court.
Reminder, this is just my personal opinion, but please share what you think of it. Or what you would add / change because I'm curious of this would ever be a true way to really give Apple some SERIOUSLY BAD PR, or if I'm just some nut case, who needs to get a job with daytime hours lol.

Apple will always have their hardcore followers. No matter how much better my EVO LTE is the hardcore apple-ites will say Apple has better blah blah blah. And they will inevitably say "that's the phone that violated all the apple patents!" *snarl/*
Anyways, I like your idea. Don't think it's gonna happen though.
You know the iPhone's use of google maps generates 40% of Google's income? And now that Apple is deciding to make its own map app to replace Google maps as the default in iPhone it seems like an all out break in the companies.
Apple isn't innovating anymore, all they're doing is filing stupid patents and suing. They'll probably win because they are on top and have the $ to pay lawyers where other companies don't.

I don't know what the percentage is but I bet it's a good amount, much more than 2% but no where near 40%.
"Mobile ads associated with maps and location data account for about a quarter of all mobile ad revenue. That's money Apple wants and Google doesn't want to lose out on."

It would be a much bigger blow if Apple were to get rid of Google search all together but I do feel the maps thing will put a bit of a dent in Google's bottom line.

I agree, I'm just saying it's going to sting a bit at Google. Hopefully it might help them get on the manufacturers and carriers a bit more to make sure they're selling quality products, I love Android but some of the stuff that gets put out there is absolute crap.
I know this thread has gotten off topic so I say to the OP, that might help if Google were to advertize. They make almost all their money off of ads but don't advertize themselves. The carriers do advertize phones a bit but they're more interested in selling you on their network than a specific phone. Not to mention the fact 3 of the 4 national carriers sell the iPhone so they wouldn't put down one of their own products.
Yeah, just came up with 40% off the top of my head because I was smoking crack.

Lol at least someone understands where I'm coming from. I doubt this will ever work but it was just an idea at the time.
But overall, I feel Google needs to help the OEMs stick together, for some amount of time, just to make it harder for Apple to try to make its dream of shutting Android down. Yes it would be hard, but on their current path, they may get their chance.
I laughed at some of the comments, but I guess the question I was trying to get around to ask,
Do you think google and the OEMs should make commercials with Google as the headliner to tell the world what Apple is suing about? I think if the overall general public knew, besides us tech enthusiasts , maybe people would see Apple for who they really are...
Just my two cents, and go!

I know this thread has gotten off topic so I say to the OP, that might help if Google were to advertize. They make almost all their money off of ads but don't advertize themselves. The carriers do advertize phones a bit but they're more interested in selling you on their network than a specific phone. Not to mention the fact 3 of the 4 national carriers sell the iPhone so they wouldn't put down one of their own products.

I agree, that's why I never suggested the carrier's to make the commercial because they don't want to have conflicts I suspect, and they only care to sell, regardless the product.

Lol at least someone understands where I'm coming from. I doubt this will ever work but it was just an idea at the time.
But overall, I feel Google needs to help the OEMs stick together, for some amount of time, just to make it harder for Apple to try to make its dream of shutting Android down. Yes it would be hard, but on their current path, they may get their chance.
I laughed at some of the comments, but I guess the question

This is actually what I've been hoping would happen for quite a while. It's much easier to pick them off one by one than to attack a united front. Unfortunately the all-mighty (dollar, euro, whatever) always wins out. If the manufacturers and Google could put aside their differences and come together and attack Apple, I think Apple would be forced to back down. For the first time in 4 years Android's world-wide usage dropped last quarter. It only dropped about 0.6% (from, I think, 51% to 50.4%) but a drop none the less. Symbian had over 50% of the market 4yrs ago, now it's dead. "Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it" -Winston Churchill

This is what I was aiming for. Google needs to make serious friends, not just wayside acquaintances, to make Android that much stronger.

JUST GOT MY GS3 AND NOT SURE WHY PEOPLE LIKE THIS PHONE THE EVO IS BETTER PLAIN AND SIMPLE I HAVE BOTH . Big mistake for me of getting this phone. Evo screen is way better and the evo feels bigger and better. Any questions about this phone versus the evo just ask ill give you the honest truth.

I never even considered the GS3 because I already know I don't like touchwiz. If the EVOLTE didn't exist, I would have gotten the nexus. Did they at least scale the touchwiz down? Always looked like a kids toy to me.

It's better but not even close to sence 4 I don't like it. The screen just really bother me having the evo for a month it just crisp with everything. My pictures look like a turd on this phone. I really was aspecting more I haven't really did allot with this phone cause I keep using my evo for everything. They seem about the same speed for everyday use.

Well my good friend just came over to show off & compare his New GSIII to my EvoLTE. Well let me know after coming from the E4GT this phone looks & feels almost identical. It is bigger than the EvoLTE but it is lighter & thinner which makes it extremely hard to hold comfortably & safely IMO. The screen doesn't even come close to the Evo. The colors are way over saturated and it has a bluish tint to it. TouchWiz is back & ugly as hell. It does open apps and switch between screens with no noticeable lag which is a plus cause the Evo has been laggy for me at times. Overall Im happy with my decision to get the Evo. Think I'll pass on GSIII and maybe go with the Note 2 if Sprint gets it.

I don't know if it matter or not but I get 5200 on Quadrant with evo. The galaxy s3 3967 whats the deal with that i ran it eight times and cant crack 4000 i thought theu had the same internals.

I hear people talking about the S3 like some new god of a phone, but I honestly prefer HTC, with Sense. The hardware and benchmarks are so similar, you really have to look at the devices and see what you personally prefer for the experience of the phone. I prefer the style of the phone to the G S3, and the extras like the dedicated photo key, which I use a lot, and the kickstand, which I actually use a lot as well. Don't forget the SLCD2, too.

I agree the evo is better IMO
Also my galaxy note is better also ...I almost went to the s3 because everyone raving about it....hahahaha I'll pass

Samsung Galaxy is a bandwagon, much like Apple iPhone.

Touchjizz and the GS3 look like a redeveloped iFail to me.
I agree that the G3 isn't that great, but for most people who aren't exactly super picky like us, will suck up the fact that touchwiz is god awful ugly and use the phone. Much like the iPhone, Samsung is doing a lovely job with the bandwagon advertising. People think the phone is god, people will buy said phone pretending all flaws do not exist.
I guess everyone's opinion will be different. I'm sure I would still prefer the EVO over the S3 myself, if given a choice...I just find it interesting how the screen on the Galaxy phones are always said to be color inaccurate and not as good as the LCDs on phones. I say this because OLED TVs are supposed to be the next big thing with the most accurate color reproduction of any TV to date, plus a sharper picture and best contrast ratio. And they will be damn expensive when they hit the market. I'm guessing there must be some kind of difference between the phone and TV version of the screens.

Well for the phones aleast amoled screens are colorful but not crystal clear like LCD screens . Side by side the picture looks better on the e v o screen using the same pictures it don't look bad just not as clear.

Yeah, it seems like everyone has said that when comparing them side by side... It's just strange when OLED is supposed to be the 'superior' technology. Maybe it's just a phone thing... on a side note, though, my next TV will definitely be a Sony and not a Samsung. Had problems with every Samsung we've had, and absolutely zero with every Sony.
Thanks, I feel better for sticking with my EVO LTE.
I'm wondering if people who own the GS3 are also having the same issues with text and calls not going through as well as connectivity issues some EVOLTE users are experiencing. If so, we would be able to narrow down these issues directly to Sprints network instead of blaming the phone.

I never really liked Samsung devices, but I was gonna get the nexus until I heard the Evo LTE was coming so I waited, and I was worth it. The only thing i liked about the GIII is the pop up videos and I got that through an app

Spring is preparing the towers for lte it's everywhere every phone is having that issue . I lost connection for a day and i just found out that alot of prepaid phones use Sprint towers my friends had vigin mobile and boost mobile and they had lost connection the entire day too. They fixed it for two hours then lost connection. We all at work thinking the world is ending lol. Sprint is giving me credit on my bill for that issue and anyone who calls in will to, i mean no data or signal or nothing but thankfully lte is up just not turned on because they said to me our town has to wait it's turn.
