To upgrade, or to not upgrade. That is the question. - HTC EVO 3D

Currently I'm with Sprint and have my 3vo. Was thinking about buying the 4G LTE. Technically I won't be upgrading cause I'm not signing another 2yr contract. And my contract doesn't end in February anyways.
My friend is selling his 4GLTE for 300 in brand new condition. I was going to buy it from him.
Should I wait til my contract ends to get a new phone, when something new will be out by then? Or just get the 4G LTE and live with it for the next year?

Do you have lte where you live? That would be a deciding factor for me at least.

I'd verify it first. I use 4g in Tampa (howdy neighbor!) all the time and would hate to be stuck on the slow 3g network waiting for LTE.

seems like I do. Is it worth the upgrade?

I'm happy with the 3d myself. Devs are doing great roms, I like to take 3d pics sometimes, I'm under contract. So I plan to wait until next summer when the next phone comes out.
Having said that, a lot of people who switched love it. Maybe try a post on their threads to see what some if the transplants have to say.

Bye Bye!!!

so long PHOTON!!!
it deff wasent' the phone...it was sprint...i was tired of all the issues with customer service and my bill being different each month
also in january sprint "restructured" the family plan....cost was the same...but the way it broke it down made me spend 20 bux more a month becuase my discount wasen't applied the same way
after a couple phone calls....i finally talked to a cool supervisor...since Sprint changed my contract "technically" this happened in jan...for EVERYONE keep in mind
they will let you outta ur contract with NO ETF's - but only for sixty days
so if your on a family plan and have been looking to get out ...now is the time!!!
thank you to all the dev's for all ur hard work
but i'm gone...keep it up...ICS was getting really cool
i'm on the Fence either gettin the LG Spectrum or the new Nexus!!!! both neat little phone....back to Big RED
deuces!!!
Personally, I would not blame Sprint, they have the best plans and service in the business if you ask me.
Blame the employees!!! We have a few forum members here that can root the hell out of a phone and tell you exactly whats up. The remainder of Sprint employees could not tell you how to boil and egg!!!
I have proof!!! My power botton fell off some how and I took it back to Sprint August 20, 2011. I took it to Sprint and 2 homeboys came out the back. The first thing out of his mouth, "Have you had this phone for 30 days or less?"
Nuff said!

Garden State Plaza in NJ, the Sprint store on 2nd floor over the food court!!! 30 days or less? Im still laughing my stomach hurts!
EDIT: Almost as funny as the hooker that claimed I dropped my s**t! My co-workers jumped all over that ho!!! He** with TEP, If I drop my ****, I will gladly give Sprint $630.00 as i dont like nicks in my ****!!! I would not even sell a forum member some crap I dropped. (Then again, I have dropped 1 phone in the last 14 years.................) "It looks like you dropped your phone?" Thats funny!
I ended up gettin the lg spectrum
Pretty neat phone....very nice screen...1.5ghz dual core

Don't blame you. Verizon is a better carrier. Can be more expensive, but better else wise. US Cellular is a regional carrier that shares Verizon's network and they have equal reception (no 4G though) in the areas I go with excellent family pricing and superb customer support. If it weren't for that, I'd be back with VZW.

All in all how do you feel about the phone transition?
Compare and contrast if you still lurk these forums would love to hear about it
Need the dirty....
Also, did you refer to this webpage? http://now.sprint.com/invoiceupdate/?INTCID=TSC:MyS:ICP:BillP:020112
So i ditched the spectrum due to no development and it didnt even have its own forum

Sorry to hear. Ain't just sprint though. Theyre all the same, sprint, att, verizon, etc.

Any way to get an upgrade early?

Hey, guys. Here's a thread that's not about ICS.
So I've been thinking about getting the new EVO because honestly, I'm done with this phone. It's getting old, beaten, and less responsive. I do not want to return this for a refurbished, due to the fact I unlocked my phone using revolutionary and would not like to deal with the new hboot method.
I'm also getting very slow data speeds, even on Wimax, and coverage for me is spotty at best. The airave is a little help, except for the fact, that from time to time it would send the same text message 17 times.
I don't really use much internet, so i wouldn't mind giving up my unlimited for a 2GB data plan on ATT. I messed with the Note and it is AMAZING especially LTE. Point is, does anyone know if I could recieve an upgrade from Sprint early? That way, I would stay with sprint, get the new Evo, and see if Sprints coverage and LTE is actually worth staying for another two years. I've been a Sprint Premiere gold customer since I joined when the original EVO was out, but now that they have gotten rid of it, I don't see the need to pay 100 a month for service that is mediocre at best. I'm willing to pay the ETF to leave for something better.
I know this should be in Q&A but the Evo 3D forums on XDA have been such a mess, I doubt it matters. Thanks for reading guys.

The only thing I could think of is to wait until the new Evo comes out and ours is past end of life and warranty it a few times. Might have to start before the new one comes out so you can get a 90 day warranty on the refurb before yours original warranty is up. I actually thought about this myself.

Calling Sprint and asking a few times and getting different reps "can" do the trick at times for ya...just be upfront and tell them your thinking of leaving and just want an upgrade earlier...some reps will do it, some wont.
play the roulette game and see what sticks.
Actually if u have 1 year left with your 2 year contract on your line then u can trade in your EVO for 100 dollars to cancel your contract with that and then renew with 2 years and get the new phone like that,my friend works at sprint and he told me to do that when the new EVO comes out..you basically trade in your phone for 100 to cancel out your contract and just renew and get the new EVO cheaper u get me hope it helps

And why would they do this? Phone costs over 500 without contract. It cost $200 with contract when it came out. They won't let you cancel unless its a service issue which they can't resolve.

So you are saying you have to give up your phone and pay $100.00 EFT to get out of your contract 1 year early?
The ETF at 12 months is $240.00. So you are saying that Sprint is giving you a $140.00 credit for your Evo 3d?
Edit: Found that Sprint is giving $99.00 for the Evo 3D buyback program (hell, they are still giving $90.00 for the Evo 4G). So you are about $40.00 off the price here.

My friend did the same thing when the 3d came out he was coming from the OG evo. He gave sprint his OG with the buyback program crediting him $100 bucks. Then he renewed his contract for another 2 years picking up the 3d for $100 bucks total with the $100 credit from his OG turn in. Now Im not sure if it was just that time it could be done because Sprint wasnt as popular at that time then it is now since picking up the iphone and the only carrier to have unlimited data. I hope that type of offer remains because I too want to get the new Evo LTE. I started up with Sprint when the 3D came out which was june 24 of last year so when the Evo LTE releases it should be my 1 year mark. Im keeping my fingers crossed.

Just to add, last year I traded in The OG Evo 4G, for $150 and extended my contract another two years to get the Evo 3D for $200, leaving me to only pay $50 for the 3D.
I'm hoping that I can do the same thing this year.
I texted upgrade, to 1311 and got this:
As of 4/1/12, you are eligible to save up to $150 off SRP plus any promotional discounts w/ 2-yr Agreement
Which is a good sign that I can upgrade come LTE time.

So if the evo lte srp is 500-600, you get only 150 off of that? Or 150 off the 200 subsidized price?
Well it does say off of SRP, but I hope I can get it for the sub price.

3d sadness

I find it sad that HTC is giving up on 3d. Yes it was a toy, but one I paid for. They never really got behind the phone. They had that one terrible bubble 3d movie, but that was it. I thought we would at least see a 3d gallery.
Heck we are not even going to see the full blown HTC evo lte. Where is our new quad processor, that our oversees HTC brothers and sisters are getting?
There was never even any 4G in my city (one of the largest in South Florida) and I'm sure we are 2-3 years from lte ever being turned on. So thanks sprint and HTC. What a bad partnership it turned out to be for me.

Lol I am in TN and don't have 4G never have.. So I have the same feeling about LTE and that 10 dollar fee thing is kinda a joke.. Would be nice if Sprint would let us trade in our phones and get a sweet deal on a LTE one since our phones will be outta date soon .. Kinda bummer too all the folks who jumped into another 2 years and will be stuck with a older phone if no one knew that LTE was coming .. Lol.
Along with HTC ICS for the 3D will probably never see any more updates since they are coming out with that new Evo phone.. My guess is the 3D will be dropped on the **** list lol. Seen 3 new LTE phones on Sprints site for pre order.. Anyway's I will be stickin with the 3D for another year But hopefully things will still be poppin over in the threads

When LTE comes out (either frequency), don't expect the 4G on your WiMAX phones not to work. Sprint plans on keeping WiMAX around (except no more new phones) for legacy phones still running the technology. For a good bit of time at least, until a majority moves to LTE.

well dan hasse said someone that that 10 fee was premium data free, knowing that our fones use up more data and if that fee wasn't instituted that we probably would be on a tier data plan now. as for the wimax it will be up thru 2015. It does suck, as Detroit only has 4g downtown, like 4sq miles or less lolz. But how many of us actually bought the fone thinking that wimax was the future or did we just want the new next hyped fone, that had 3d and good specs. Their not gonna do a trade in thing cuz there will always be a new big fone.... I really feel more sorry for ppl that got this fone thinking they will qualify for gold membership and have an upgrade every year, though I've heard many ppl argue just that and actually get a upgrade back... soo yawl can try that...

Well, I am gonna nab the new evo for sure! Coming from an Evo 3d, that was a pain for devs to root, the new one will be much easier to work with.
As far as LTE, I'm not holding my breath... in Vegas I can't even find a date for launch. I'm guessing late 2013? Also, they call the $10 fee a smartphone fee now. Go figure?

Sprint cancelling ICS for 3D?

I heard another strong rumor from another strong source that Sprint is giving consideration to cancelling ICS for 3D and offer an early end to contract as good-gesture solution. I think we can see where this is going, right? Early end of contract = full discount price on the next phone.
I don't want one of those LTE phones until the stupid service is available here in Oregon. Right now, I have tons of WiMax and if switch to LTE, I lose 4G!
Why are we putting up with this crap?!
source?
but i think its crap, desire hd etc got 4.0 too...so fare...
This can't be !!
Why would they do that when the Virgin Mobile version has ICS? It wouldn't bother me though since we have 3.6 and 4.0 (minus 4g) available here now but it sucks because my contract is up in July so I would not reap any of said benefits.
Would like to see a credible source on this rumor.

Rumors. People are too gullible these days.
To pick the other side of this, most people on this forum probably have or will get ics one way or another. So if sprint would give us an early out i would welcome that. You know, when you think about it, sprint has all but kicked us 3d owners out the door anyhow. Try and get a refurb replacement. It's pretty tough right now. I can see how it would save them a bunch of hassles by not doing the update. I love my 3d even more after putting myn's ics on it. If i had an early upgrade i would probably follow him to ss3 land.
I was going to wait for the official update to be released, but it just got tiresome. I like running stock-rooted ROMs, and who knows when Sprint will get their head out of their ass to get this done. I bought my EVO 4G LTE, and it's made me happy now.
I would actually love that, sorry guys.

I really doubt that this will happen since HTC already confirmed we will get it, I love my 3D I don't consider the EVO LTE significant upgrade for me to give up my phone.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if it ends up that we (Sprint 3d users) never see an official ICS but I can guarantee that there will be no "mass" early contract out to make up for that.... Doing so would open the door to a mass exodus from Sprint with no etf. This WILL NOT HAPPEN!

HTC has announced the 3d will get ICS but that means the 3d in general, the Sprint variant of the 3d has never been officially confirmed by anyone, neither HTC or Sprint. The update has to be officially requested to HTC by a carrier on a branded devices. It is entirely possible that Sprint may not do so. The only sure thing is that unbranded GSM 3ds will get ICS. Just sayin.....
I have already all but decided that this will be my last HTC device, if it does not receive the official update, it will also be my last Sprint device.

If this happens nobody will have much of a choice.

I got my replacement in 3 days. Best buy ftw. I wouldnt mind being able to upgrade. I would probably wait tho to see what they do with pittsburgh before getting an lte device. Not trying to not have 4g for the next two years.
I highly doubt this, but I do know that Sprint wants to rid themselves of the 3D

I know it's harder to buy one new on Sprint... Why would they want to get rid of existing 3D users?

What to look for buying used?

It would appear lte is getting better all the time in the area where i live. The pricing used on the evo lte is amazing! It would seem that i can pick one up for $150 or less. Is this still a pretty good phone stock or do it's lte issues make it a phone to pass by? (did some reading, found some answers, gotta get one)
You deserve an iphone 3g woody

Some of us aren't having any issues, and still think the Evo 4g LTE is still a great phone. I haven't had any compelling reason to upgrade devices or change carriers. If you like the phone, go for it.

A 30 day late to the EvoLTE thread, Note2 using troll...now that's something you don't see very often.
Anyways, I happen to like the EvoLTE...I do gotta mention though, since the thread was so thoughtfully bumped...If you are planning on buying a Evo LTE and having it flashed to Boost. Make sure it's on 4.0.? <Android Version(ICS)...and Software Version no higher than 2.13.651.1. Once its on 3.16.651 with JellyBean it's basically impossible to flash without going s-off and utilizing a linux computer to downgrade back to 2.13.651.1.
Actually I meant no disrespect to your community. Sorry should have chose my words better. I am simply trolling woody. Because he has a tendency to troll everyone else. I will remove my statement.
