I just threw my OG Evo out about a week ago.
Yes, THREW it out. It no longer worked. And it was still a tough thing to do.
Best buy gave me $230 for my OG EVO
So yeah I sold it.

BB wouldn't let me trade mine in because the screen is cracked (happened a couple weeks before) and Sprint offered me $60. I decided to just keep it as a back up in case something happens to this one because the crack isn't that bad...still very much usable. If I had been able to get $230 for it though, might have been a different story...

Didn't have the OG EVO, but did have the EVO 3D, and I couldn't sell that thing to save my life. I ended up just giving it to my wife. I had a desktop dock, car dock, 2 chargers, an Otterbox commuter case, a silicone case, and 3 high quality screen protectors, and was only asking $300 for it all. Had like 3 people want to trade me a PS3 for it, and that was it. Pretty upsetting.

Same boat here. I refused to sell it back to Sprint the day I bought the EVOLte and still can't seem to part ways with it. I keep telling myself I need it just in case something "goes wrong." I still use it as an alarm and occasionally to surf the web if the new phone is charging or something.
I had to break mine to get over it.
NO ONE ELSE MUST HAVE IT!
Not serious.
I thought about keeping it as a backup for a few days, but then decided to sell. I figure if I ever break or lose my LTE, a used og evo will be even cheaper down the road. Pretty happy with the $150 I got on craigslist for it.
I am actually still using mine. My contract for it doesn't come up till November. I have been here researching and waiting for info on LTE, so I can decide whether to get the new EVO, or go to another company. The only issue I have with the actual phone is the battery life. If I put this thing on Wimax(cause 3g in my area is no better than dial-up), it drains like crazy. November cannot come soon enough.
I always pass my old tech to friends or coworkers. Just seems the thing to do with it

My charger port died and I fried the microphone on my OG, so I got an extra battery and external charger and gave it to my 4 year old to play games on.
Still using it on wifi. It got so much better reception that i could set it to "sprint only" while at work. The lte roams on verizon.
Love the size of all the screen objects, text, icons, friendstream buffer and extended battery.
Think it would be easier to trash the lte yup L ess T han E qual.

I'm not sure it was a mistake.
Insurance was probably about $7 a month X at least 20 months = $140 saved. How much do you think you could have sold it for?
I think getting $230 for a two year old cdma phone would be rare.

I went to the Sprint store today and asked about the buyback program and my Evo 4G. She just asked for my phone number and started typing.. then asked if i pre-ordered the Evo 3D.. i said yes. She kept typing then told me to just come in 2morrow when i pick up the Evo 3D and tell them i want to recycle my phone and i will get $150. She didnt even look at my beat up (but working) Evo 4G.
Im not sure if she put a note on my account or what but she sounded so certain that i bring it in and get my $150 credit. Anyone know for sure?
I hope i get her when i get my Evo 3D tomorrow.. im doubtfull it will be that easy and that they are giving $150 for any working Evo... if so.. winning!
Sprint will give 150 for the EVO and 115 for the EVO Shift...I know-I work for Sprint. They always offer this as well for those that did not know. Also, you can trade up to three phones to really drive that out of pocket cost down.

I am pretty sure if your EVO is not majorly damaged, i.e broken glass, and it turns on, you will get $150 dollars credit on your account for trading it in. EVO 3D for $50 with full upgrade credit.
I guess ill find out tomorrow hehe Thanks for the help.
I wasn't gonna do that...I was gonna sell my evo 4g and accessories on craigslist but I have been reconsidering it....sell the evo to sprint for the 150 and the accessories for 50.
I have an otterbox commuter, HDMI cable, spare batteries, and a stand alone battery charger.
Think all of that is worth 50 bux?
Do they care about sending in the battery? I have two Evos (one upgraded to a 3D) and it would be great to keep the battery as a spare.

The site said $40 for the Hero.
So wait... if I get the phone thru Sprint, they will buy back my EVO 4G @ $150? Did I need to be a part of a buy-back program like Best Buy? I just pre-ordered with BB!

Sprint will buy back the phone.
I took my rooted evo to my local sprint store yestetday and got $150 added to my account on the spot. With my $70 loyalty credit I got my 3d for only a couple of bucks.
They let me keep my sd card and charger.
Easier for me to do instead of selling it.

Sprint will buy back the phones but not the accessories. If you turn in an EVO and a hero the 3d costs you ten bucks. If you want to try and get fifty for a hero on Craigslist you will be waiting a while.

Where I am CL is saturated with them. Over 18 were posted for sale today alone.
I know you leave some money on the table, but the Sprint deal isn't so bad, and with alot less headache and waiting. I was going to go this root but I'm not as excited about the 3D as much anymore so I'm going to keep my Evo.
I dont think you can get more than $200 on craigslist for the Evo 4G and on top of that the internet is probably flooded with people trying to sell their old Evos.. so lots of competition. A few weeks ago people were selling them on ebay/CL for $200+ easily... but now that will just get harder and harder.
I sure hope its easy for me to get my $150.. my phone is beat up and rooted.. but as i said it works and the woman made it seem like id surely/easily get the full $150 credited to my account tomorrow.
I would of traded it on the spot if she asked offered.. but she told me to do it when i pick up my 3D. I hope the quote doesnt go down tomorrow... it shouldnt since every other retailer is offering $150 for the Evo 4g.
fyi..
google sprint buy back.. it will take you to the official buy back program. sell your phone for 150 + any other phone you have. I just did. works just fine.
sold my evo and my old iphone 3g.. i kept my sd card .. just ship the phone itself.

Back in April I cracked my screen on my 3d. Sent me a refurbished replacement. Within a month the soft keys and bottom of the screen go out. Take it back in to the repair store and they order a replacement. I wait over a week and What do I get? A certified pre owned with the paint chipping off. Is this normal?

You're not alone. Sprint only offers refurbished EVO3Ds as replacements. I've gone through probably 7 or 8 phones already, and all of them have had issues.
My current phone has a big blue patch on the screen, it's missing the rubber gasket around the screen, and the aluminum frame around the screen is bent.
I'm overseas right now, so I can't get a replacement, but I definitely will when I'm back in the states. I'm kind of hoping I can get another phone, since I've only had bad luck with the EVO 3d, it seems. I emailed the technician at my local Sprint store, and as of right now, it seems you can only get an EVO3D as a replacement for an EVO3D.
I just got a new phone from sprint today after the one they had send me had hardware issues and a blue spot in my screen.

That would make sense. Our case, it was a manufacturer's defect so insurance (asurion) was not invloved. Guess we got lucky
I guess I will stick out my light screen bleeding... If only they replaced it with an LTE
I tried to get sprint to replace my phone when the whole left edge bent off. they told me i would have to pay 100 for a replacement if I had the insurance. I thought the whole reason to pay for the insurance is that if the phone broke you got a free replacement. Im glad i didnt pay for the insurance and I walked out of the store with a case
Out of curiosity why are people even carrying insurance on these phones anyways? Can one just find a good used replacement on ebay or craigslist for about the same price as the deductible?

I'm on phone number 4 as well, holding out for the new S3 if possible or it might be phone 4 due to a crappy usb port.
Phone #1 kept randomly rebooting, then after a reboot it decided to never connect to the Sprint network again.
Phone #2 had some visible junk behind the screen.
Phone #3 decided it wanted to commit suicide while I was watching Netflix, it made a loud beeping noise and would never come back on.
Phone #4 Capacitive light buttons are dimmed and since flashing cm9 they won't even come on. The usb port is getting loose and I have to charge my phone at an angle (awesome).
I know this really isn't HTC's fault due to Ausrion (sp) phones but going through 4 phones is kind of pushing me away from HTC. Waiting for S3 reviews to decide on that or the 4G LTE.
Already said screw it and picked up my LTE

If these are HTC refurbs this is quite dissapointing. On a positive note, while waiting at the store they had two very lovely women working there, one Cuban and one Puerto Rican,

It's actually stock, I installed the leaked ics stock version at the time. However whenever the phone boots up, it takes a minute to get start up being it goes through like twenty scans. Idk if that makes sense but I'm not sure what it's doing. I wonder if I do a factory reset if it'll erase the leaked ics and then download they official one. Hmm. I'll check out that site thanks!

Yeah, with the cracks I would say about $120-$150 is fair, at least in my market. New-ish used Rezound's in box are going for $200-$250 on Craigslist.
I just picked up another one off Craigslist for $160. Stock (on ICS update) non-rooted, S-on, with a few dings in the trim around the screen (but glass is nice). Included iBeats, stock and extended batteries with covers, home and car chargers, and car dock.
It's sad to see these phones going for so cheap. Id feel ripped off if I sold mine for less than $200

You can get $200 and it looks better if you tell people you're willing to meet them at a Verizon store to activate it. The whole bad ESN is a concern and some people wait weeks before they report it lost/stolen.

So my E3D went south on me. In Developer Options I turned on the touch tracer and could see the phantom touches that were opening apps, dialing contacts, whatever shortcut was under the spot when it fired. Crazy.
So I unrooted, loaded the current RUU, and headed to the Sprint repair location by my house.
They looked at it and confirmed the problem. Dude said, "Well, we have replacement parts so we can replace the screen. Or, if you want, we can swap it for the Evo4g LTE." I didn't think I heard him right, so I paraphrased it back to him. Yup. Incredible. Sprint was really getting on my nerves, but they won my heart back with that move.
Just wanted to share my experience - I hope everyone gets similar treatment when the time comes.
That's lucky! I took mine in last month and they replaced the screen. But, I like my 3D and LTE is not online here yet, so maybe it's better that I kept my 3D anyway.
Must be nice.. I've been through like 7 or 8 3ds and their only offer is another crappy refurb or a downgrade.
Sent from my PG86100
Same thing happened to me! Except it was a list given to me. The last phone was the EVOLTE and my face lit up!
I'm loving the LTE. I miss the Evo 3D only cuz aside from the digitizer issues it was a good phone to me.
The screen and battery on this is a huge improvement. I can upgrade again in July but will probably wait till end of the year or maybe next year.
Whoever had digitizer problems just keep trying. I know it helps if you have insurance.

My 3d has been having problems keeping a consistent wifi or 3g connection the past few weeks. Sprint has sent me 6 replacements, all have been broken (one bad screen, one wouldnt turn on, one the digitizer didnt work etc). I got tired of having to take each one into the store just to have them verify that it was broken. I told them I wanted a new phone, not a refurbished crap phone. The guy checked his computer, and said they could offer me a Galaxy S2 (yes, a 2) or an evo 4g (the old one, not the LTE). I told him there is no way they are giving me a phone that's over 2 years old. He talked to his manager, and he said the same thing, that's all they could offer me.
I called Customer care to see what they would offer, even threatened to cancel my account. They told me I would have to contact Asurion and pay the deductible to get another replacement (and it would be a refurb). I can't believe Sprint is turning me to them to handle their business, since they can't do their jobs themselves. AND trying to make me PAY to get a warranty replacement.
I actually bought my EVO 3D with a bad screen for $20 and replaced it with a good quality screen for $30. Funny thing is, the EVO 4G LTE went on sale for the price of free (2year contract) 2 days later here. I snagged one for my wife but decided to hang on to the 3D. I'll honestly say the only improvement i care about on the LTE is the battery. It's nice that it's light, and the screen is slightly bigger but i think I'll wait till they put out the next evo or HTC phone that has a quad core or something much better.
And this was for free?? or through asurion, I've got two 3vo's that are broken right now, Mine has digitizer problems and my lady's has a shattered screen. Will asurion replace the broken screen one for the hundred bucks with the 4g lte?
And is there a chance mine will be replaced with a 4g lte for free?

I guarantee you will get a refurb 3d. I just called Asurion today and according to them, they have "tons" of refurbed 3d's.
I took mine into a sprint store for the digitizer and had just dumped a sock rom on it but still had the unlocked bootloader and everything. They replaced the digitizer and even replaced the entire shell. They basically put my board into a new phone. Even joked with me about my boot up screen(android pissing on an apple)

I have tep coverage.... They don't seem to care. And the list of phones they were offering was horrible for me. Evo 4g, Evo shift, epic, and conquer... All if which came out before the 3d, have lower resolution, half the ram, single core processors, and.. oh yeah no 3d obviously but I don't really mind losing 3d if its a capable device. I asked about a gs2 and they wouldn't budge on that even. Been a customer for a decade and have 3 lines of service...

Threads give me hope that when my EVO's digitizer finally gives in (it's getting really close to not working at all) I may be able to not roll the dice on a refurb EVO3d.

You would think they could.... But no. And seriously..... I haven't gotten what I would call a good quality refurb yet.
Every single one the screen has been loose, jacked up power buttons, cases literally bulging apart... And all they wanna do is send another pos or downgrade me. I used to brag about how great they were and in all honesty I've been telling people to stay away since they started treating me like this.... Their customer service used to be what kept me in lieu of their ****ty coverage and slow network speeds.

By the way of additional information - when I scheduled my appointment online with the Sprint repair center, I included information that my phone was critical for my job (which is true) so, possibly, that played into their decision to upgrade my phone.
Hope this information is useful to someone.
I'll give that a shot... My digitizer started acting up today ironically..... Phantom touches and I have to power cycle it occasionally just to get a response.

Sprint doesn't really care about the rooted phone... When I was a tech for them, I still did the repair and or replacement. I just wanted the customer to be honest with me. Either case its their job they have to repair it. TEP is not effected by root.

My upgrade is in June so I'll definitely be getting one of these.
It seems like HTC is switching to Q1 and Q3 launches to beat out Samsung.
Oh and OP gratz on getting an EVO LTE!

Now that's what I'm talking about Q1 is right around the corner and for sure be worth waiting for.
Well my digitizer has become much worse over the last couple days so I had to do something :-/
So I called customer service and was told that they'd replace my EVO3d... But it'll be 5-7 days on back order. The rep said she had to offer an EVO but acknowledged that it is not an even trade. They wouldn't give me other options. I have insurance but so I figured this is the cheapest way out for now. They waived the $35 fee, or so they said. Last time I did this with a Moment, they said the same thing about being back ordered and a box arrived early with a shiny Transform... So we'll see. My contract is up in 6 months, almost made it!

i upgraded to the htc one.
i really love my evo lte, even as just a stand alone tablet or camera device, backup phone. its in mint condition.
so im wondering, what can i do with it, or should i just go ahead and sell it? if so, at what price?
is anyone else keeping their LTE just for collectors sake?
I plan on getting the One (T-Mo) and I'm thinking of keeping my EVO. T-Mo trade in value was only $41. My daughter has a SGE4T and that was worth $50. I still like the EVO, but sprint's coverage in my area is terrible.

I would suggest selling it I've got a couple old phones lying around thinking I would use them for something but in the end don't. For instance I was gonna keep my lg marquee for my car but realized the battery on my htc lasts all day even if i use it iin my car

I agree... Sell it. I still have my Evo 3d (mint never been outside my house) and my og evo 4g. Initially they were going to be media devices but they never get used...

Keep it and use it for something else. I still have 4 (yes 4) original EVO 4g. 3 are going to my kids as media players and one I'm keeping to stream espn3, xfinity, etc to my tv.
You can probably get about 150-200 for it on ebay. I'll be selling mine in the near future.

Remember a couple things about ebay which I had to learn the hard way. First is they take 10% off the total cost plus what ever fees they charge to post the ad. Second is they make you verify your account *. Third always go with the paypal verified account**.
You'll probably sell your item if mint with good esn black 150 white 200 or more. But you may get some asshole trying to keep the cost of these up high to bid on your item for 200 dollars but then won't pay you. Happened to me and my girlfriend several times (remember it doesn't require a bank account to bid).
* When I sold one of my evo 4g ltes in a bid it got to 225 in a couple days this was when they were going for 250 minimum. Well I' not really checking on it because it's already reached a good selling price. So I go to check it a couple days later and that and another evo I got up there have been frozen. I'm like what the f#ck. I look at my email or inbox (can't remember ) I have a message to call them so I do and it turns out that sometime during the process they stopped it until I called them and entered a code. This was a week after the first evo went up.
** I had a ebay buyer change his address to something different from what was on his paypal account and then changed the ebay address back to the original and said he never received the package. Paypal sided with him. I still owe them 85 dollars.
No sure how well this copy paste is but here is the swappa pricing:
http://swappa.com/search?q=HTC+EVO+4G+LTE+(Sprint) Just to get a benchmark.
I'd say keep it as a backup phone but the value of the LTE is higher than past EVOs, it'd be smarter to sell it while the resale value is high.
