hey all, iv been an EVO owner since the OG evo on release date. Sorry to say but i threw in the towel today with my evo lte and bought a S3 on Craigslist and sold my evo to a family member. its been a good run! Im off to the s3 forums for now on.
i did love my lte evo very very much, but i feel like iv had the same phone for 4 years now and wanted to change it up with touchwiz.
Nothing wrong with that, my sister is very happy with her S3. So much so that she has yet to throw a ROM on it. It seems like a pretty good phone
running sense for 4 years got to me. i loved the phone but just felt i needed a change.
the phone runs very smooth, but it has lower benchmark scores than my evo -_-
Yeah...even now its pretty bloated. I usually jump ship as soon as I can, running CM10 with no complaints so far. I'm thinking of trying paranoid next. Like I said my lil sis loves it so far. Now if only I can get her to stop shouting bump me every time she wants to beam something
Youll be back they always come back lol

I say it comes down to hardware because, who are we kidding, most of us can't wait to flash the latest and greatest on to our phones. All flagship phones have competing spec these days. Multiple core socs, HD screen 4+ inches, a clock speed of 1ghz or more. 512+ ram, etc....some one please take that knife away from wile and bring some bandages
I wouldn't be able to live with Samsung's hardware. The quality isn't there

I had the gs3 for a few days just out of curiosity...returned for my evo..this weekend I was actually able to use both side by side since my niece has a gs3...don't get me wrong it is nice and does certain things better..like its much louder speaker..but after side by side comparing the evo is better IMO...I think the hype around the gs3 makes ppl believe its better..mine opened apps faster loaded webpages faster took much better pictures and I think the evos screen is far superior ...I notice the pentile without even really looking for it and my screen was much brighter..now I'm.not saying one is much better than the other..bc u cant go wrong with either phone..but I'm sooo tired of hearing how much better the gs3 is when it just isn't ..if it weren't for the extra ram they would have nothing on the EVO
That's what a great marketing team can do, we get crap like some photographer taking pictures of a skydiving model.
Seriously that is one thing HTC could really work on, marketing.

What phone runs smooth? The sg3? or the evo LTE? The benchmarks for both the sg3 and the evo LTE should be kinda close as they have the same processor.
If you are saying that your og evo has higher benchmarks, I highly recommend you start a career as a stand up comedian, because that's one of the funniest things I have ever heard :beer:

About the sprint reps, some are knowledgeable, most want the commission. The store in the city I live in is a corporate store, so I'm hoping/assuming they might be more knowledgeable... Prolly not though. I brought my evo shift running running cm7 in a year ago and the rep had no clue. He actually thought it was cool. Lol

I just wanted to know what would it take for you to stay with HTC? It seems like most people on here dont like the galaxy s2 but always say that when sprint gets the galaxy nexus there gona get it. Me personally both of my lines are are eligible for upgrades and i passed on the iphone rush and galaxy s2. The 1st evo to me completely changed the way i did and will always look at a phone. Not the iphone or any blackberry but the evo4g. The evo 3d although wasnt as ground breaking still made me a happy htc customer. So i ask....what will HTC have to give us in there next major sprint phone to keep people from jumping ship to the galaxy? For me its basically just ICS and LTE. Possibly a camera as good as the og evo as well. So before anyone says it ill say it cool story bro....stop trolling blah blah blah....i just seriously wana know bc it seems like alot of people are losing faith in HTC

Stop using ****ty cameras, stop using ****ty screens, use better speakers, change the damn phone design for once. They need to get it, yes the first Evo was revolutionary but that ship has sailed. Change the design on the phones and make them thinner and make sense optional. It wastes too much of the phones resources because of how bloated it is. That happens ill consider coming back to HTC but it's not likely so I probably wont. And FYI the camera in the Evo 4g sucked even more than the one in the 3D does. All their cameras suck that ive used.

They should make sense faster. I'm on mean Rom right now and its blazing fast. I don't see why HTC couldn't have made it as fast as that. And what everybody else says. Camera, screen, thinner. Personally I love sense, but it can be better

Not planning on going anywhere here. Just waiting for the quadcore S4 chip HTC phone to drop for sprint personally. LTE modem being built directly in the die is interesting to me...
though I hear the complaints about camera, but personally I find it suitable for a phone, if they make it better, then so be it.
As for making phones thinner....im not on that boat here. Id rather have them the same thickness and size they are now. Holding those thin iPhones just doesn't feel right in the hand to me. Also when you go thinner you sacrifice the already slim battery life...

An HTC Nexus device.
HTC needs to innovate once again and get rid of the "cookie cutters", which have only slight differences. They should focus on 3-4 models across the board, ranging from entry level to high end.....their should be NO differences in look or features between carriers. This would also force carriers to focus more on improving their networks rather than flaunting that they have a "better" phone, which is what they should be doing.
Major (Android) updates in a timely fashion..... If we get ICS by June....and I do not believe it will be any earlier, that will make a full 8 months since source code was dropped to the open community. It is also well known that manufacturers have the code months before it is granted open source. With the expertise and resources that HTC possesses, 4-6 months is ample time to build and push an update....
Also i was on a service call and had to do service in one of sprints corporate buildings in fairfax virginia. A sprint tech there told me that the galaxy nexus will have face regonizition technology to unlock your phone. Hopefully htc has something similiar

yeah the only thing that might get me to jump the gun early is depending on the details of when we will see quadcore from qualcomm in phones. The current S4 Quadcore chip is the APQ8064 which is paired with the Adreno 320 BUT that chip is geard toward more tablet and mobile computing devices rather than phones.
Reading more and more around it seems the most we will see at lease in the "near future"(this year) is the MSM8960 which is their dualcore S4 but its paired with the Adreno 225...
Think I read the time we'd see even the APQ8064 is around the holidays too. So maybe next year for qualcomm quadcore S4 chips in phones?
The dualcore S4's are real improvement though still having modem's built in the die and getting the improvement there no one else is thus far...
I am in the minority but I prefer sense UI to asop. ICS is no different. However that is a very small deal when it comes to which phone I choose next. I have the EVO 4g and that sold me to get EVO3D on opening day. While I stick with HTC? Sure but only if they make best product to choose from that can be rooted. They best step it up because gIII looking good and all it would take is Motorola to unlock and I'd possibly leave. They have me.....for the moment

Those are all things that the Rezound has over this phone. The camera has been quoted to be one of the best available on a smart phone, and it has a higher screen density than the GNex because of 720p on a smaller screen. Design is different as well.
Oh ok....thanks for clearing that up.

Never really had a problem with the form factor of the EVO or the EVO 3D. If I could get the same Sony cam that's in the 4s, better camera/camcorder software, like the 3D aspect, so improve upon that. 1080p recorder. Definitely must be more powerful, so either a quad-core processor or a dual dual-core processor works for me.

dood, phone has been discontinued by tmo, it's not got much life in it. I just happens to be one of the 2 soon to be 3 available hspa+ 42mbps devices! once the s drops you can expect more price drops on the Amaze.
The phone may be going EOL but it's probably their best phone and is still comparable to the new One S. Also those ads are completely one sided, note that they are using an iPhone for Sprint which is only a 3G phone. I used to be on Sprint before switching to T-Mobile and their 4G service was decently quick... if you could get it.

My friend up here has an EVO3D and never switches 4G ON. I asked him why and he said "by the time it even connects or finds 4G signal, the web pages could already have been loaded on 3G"

That would only be the case if you switch it on to check one page then shut it back off again. It does take about 30 seconds or so to connect to 4g, much like it does to connect to WiFi. Personally that sounds like a dumb excuse to not use 4g. We don't have 4g here but if we did, I'd likely leave it on all the time since my phone is near a charger all day anyways.

I am very interested in it, Asus is one of my favorite companys specially for gaming, i love their ROG series. i have the Asus G74 laptop right now and plan on getting the Asus Tytan.
Note that its never good to get any phone when its just released. i wait a few months for all the problems (if it has any) to be fixed and development to start and prices to drop. while the samsung galaxy ii already been out for quite a while.
according to this site it wont be too much more than the one s: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Asus...mer-Pad-300-Get-Priced-in-Europe-264743.shtml
only $15 more for just the phone. i will wait till the price is around $400 on ebay then ill buy it in a heartbeat
edit: look at their website now. they updated the information about it. http://www.asus.com/Mobile/PadFone/ you can get 102 hours of battery from padfone (the phone), the station (tablet), and the station dock (keyboard). they all use the hardware of the padfone (cpu/gpu/ram/camera), but they all have their own battery. also its all one data package (from the phone). this is going to get huge IMO.
the camera should be better than the amaze as well, has the same aperture, but a better lense made my asus.
If you wanted to buy a different sprint phone today without committing to a new contract, I would argue that there is no phone better at this price point. The fact that this phone can be purchased used on craigslist for $100, rooted and rommed up with just a minimal amount of hassles is mindboggling. If someone can show me a better deal please do.
I consider that the Evo 3D with ICS is a better phone than S3(which is a crappy copy of iPhone)

You're joking, right?
1) Out of nowhere you compared the two phones.
2) The galaxy s3 is better than the evo 3d. What you said is like saying the Xbox 360 is better than the ps4. The ps4 will come out later with next Gen hardware. The galaxy s3 will come out later with next Gen hardware.
3) The s3 is a copy of the iPhone? Is that a joke? Just because they have a hardware home button doesn't suddenly make them iPhone clones. Other than that, they are probably the complete opposite of iPhones.

IMHO Samsung makes great appliances(home electronics, washers, dryers, etc.) Their cellular phones don't do anything for me and as a previous user stated, the build quality is less than impressive. The screens always have that weird hue to them prolly due to AMOLED which i dont find appealing. And the samsung phones i've played with or friends that have them seem to have lots of issues with signal retention. Lets not forget the countless GPS problems that have been complained about on many occasions.

I'm pretty sure it's all Android manufacturers that are affected. The EVO LTE was delayed at customs because of this. And besides, we've already got JB leaks for our phone.

The EVO LTE was stopped at the border because of how they handled phone numbers in various applications.
Samsung lost a lawsuit because their phones look like iPhones (and yet they still sell phones with a physical home button...morons )

Actually it's Samsung that's doing more damage as they are sort of the face of Android these days. They lose a case for copying and people think all android phones are rip offs of iPhones. They even added a single home button to the bottom after removing all capacitive buttons.

Right, well anyone can be a victim of these broad patents.
I think it's funny that Samsung owns most of the cellular market share now.
Personally, I still hope for a later reversal of that final ruling, especially in light of the recent overturn of Koh's initial injunction. I hope that reversal is somewhat a bellwether against AAPL's frivolous nonsense.
Nonetheless, it'd still be nice to have JB on my evo lte... and beating the GS3 to it would be icing on the cake. Just not at all a fan of that phone.

Hey they gs3 is a rip off of the icants, heck when the first galaxy came out I was on tmo and it looked just like an icant 3g!!! And if my lte gets jb before the gs3 as an ota not a leaked Rom then more power to HTC, I'm just tired of all the publicity the gs3 is getting and all the negativity the evolte is getting. The lte blows the gs3 out of the water on benchmarks, and is an all around better device

How can the evo Lte beat the gs3 on benchmarks? They have the same cpu/gpu combo. Lol

Yes anyone can be a victim of broad patents but look at how similar the latest model is, they claim lawyers made sure nothing infringed and it's the closest looking clone that Samsung has made so far.

The only relevance is the home button. The Evo is shaped more like an iPhone, so Evo is just at fault as Samsung is. This is a petty argument. The point of this thread was to point out that the Evo is supposedly getting Jellybean first so let's leave it at that.

Wtf they suppose to look like to avoid getting a lawsuit because a company is jealous they can't compare and come out with outdated software on a 1/16" bigger phone, a damn triangle with a tent at the bottom for a home screen button?? Come on now... I don't remember EVER hearing Nokia and Motorola battling it out over the way their phones looked or were configured....

My argument exactly. Everyone's at risk, but Aplle is only going after the big guys. HTC and Samsung both have a rather large, competitive, market share.
This is a horrible thread lol
Ive had JB on my S3 for months now and only recently started to play w the EVO and I take much of my one sided opinion back but dang on XDA who really cares about the OTA ( more stable yes but we dont like stable) lol

To be honest and unbiased I owned HTC phones (Mogul, TP1,TP2,Evo,Evo3D,and EvoLTE) the past several years and now I am on my first Samsung phone. I hated not having a removable battery on the LTE and the nonexistent Sprint LTE and 3G in the DFW so I bounced and picked up a GS3 on TMO. The ELTE does things better than the GS3 and the GS3 does things better than the ELTE so it is was it is, you can't really trash either phone. In the mean time HTC is losing money and marketshare while Samsung is the No. 1 smartphone manufacturer worldwide. I could care less who gets Jelly Bean first...LOL

Who cares about quadrant scores? Try thinking about real life performance.
I currently have the EVO 4G LTE and the GSIII and can tell you that they are equal in speed and performance. And honestly, out of the box, the GSIII is much snappier. The LTE is a better device to me because of the kickstand, but that may be the only reason.

hey guys,
I have had a Evo 4 G LTE for a while now and am fairly happy... for me the S3 and the Evo 4 G LTE are fairly similar... now both might have some pluspoints in one category and some others in another, but here is my question...
my wife is now on my old evo 4G. Her plan is up and she can buy a new phone...
Now the 2 i consider are Evo 4G LTE and S3 since they still seem to dominate the market...
My wife does not necessarily wanna root her device and she is not as involved as me...
Still are there any pros to having 2 same phones, that i am not aware of? meaning buying a second EVO LTE ?
Or are there any Pro about having 2 different phones? Any EVO 4 LTE Owner out there?? What does your significant other own?
If she is not into phone hacking. Get the iPhone 5.

If she can't tinker, get her an iPhone 5. I've had people constantly ***** and moan about android being slow only to find they never uninstalled anything...ever. iPhone is a smart phone for dumb people.

Evo all the way. That way any apps you share, any texts and pictures you send, etc. will all work the same. And Sense is more user friendly than touchwiz will ever be. It's the closest you can get to the IPhone for user experience (and the reviews and consumer reports back it up). The dedicated camera button also helps a lot.

S3 is the most overrated and overhyped phone ever. if you do not like your 4g LTE, look at the droid razr maxx hd, it has one of the largest battery while staying in reasonable form factor. Build quality is also superb. Nexus 4 is also a very good phone as it has one of the fastest cpu (quad core s4 pro) and the build quality is also superb. The only downside is it lacks microsd. The upcoming Sony yuga is also very good choice.

Get her the EVO LTE. My wife had the OG EVO and now has the EVO LTE and loves it. She is stock/no root and is not interested either. Being that she was used to the sense UI on the OG EVO, the EVO LTE was a perfect phone for her. Don't change it up by going with an S3 or even the iphone5, it will probably just confuse and fustrate her having to learn the UI all over again.

I was thinking sticking with Android since she has my Evo 4G right now and also we have the same apps... and i can help more since i have never owned or held or used an Iphone... that would be complete new for me as well... and I am just loyal to Android...
anyways...
thought about N4 too... but that is GSM or? our plan is on Sprint....she would not care about SD card so much I believe.. she does not watch movies on the phone or watches podcasts... storage would be mainly for photos and camermovies...

I have my EVO LTE rooted & s off,and I must say I would personally rather have the evo over the s3. If she's used to sense and is abusive I would get the HTC evo LTE, however if your wife doesn't drop things or bang it around I would say go with the s3, the s3 is pretty bad ass when not rooted. I have both devices and I will say the s3 is easier to use. Not to mention the s3 is also noticeably faster

I bought the wife a GS3 on black friday and she loves it. But she is basically a noob on android and has no idea what the phone can even do.
A bit of background.................She was using an OG Evo, (I rooted it and put meanrom on it) she abused that phone........so for the last 2 months I gave her my retired Evo 3D.....in 2 months she made it look like it was 5 years old. Broke the red ring around the camera, the side of the bezel is coming off on both sides. So I bought her the GS3 for $50 on black friday.
She has no idea what root is other than its what lets her use her kindle on the train in the mornings, lol. I play with it every once in a while but I definately like the evo experiance better. But the only good I found for having 2 different phones was to actually see if there was a difference getting LTE on my EVO and her GS3. And for me there is no difference, they both hold the signal the same.

I'm in the same spot as you, my wife has an OG evo... her contract isnt up yet, but I have been telling her to get the S3 ( i have the evo 4g lte)... too many annoying quirks with the stock evo 4g lte... now if the jelly bean update actually comes... and actually fixes wifi bounce or the issues with the 4g lte signal... then i will be telling her to get the evo... if i could do it all over again, I would get an s3 ( I was a day one OG Evo buyer and really liked the phone)... just because it has a larger user base and more development as far as I can tell.
Still no lte fix on the evo lte and its been 6 monthes since it came out
gs3 with android 4.2 cm10.1
After owning both phones, the EvoLTE wins in some areas and the GS3 wins in some areas. I personally chose to leave the EvoLTE becuase of the 4G problems, locked battery, and constant Sense freeze ups. I don't think your wife will have as many apps, contacts, and need for extra batteries like me so you might as well keep the interface consistent by sticking with HTC since she is already using the OG Evo.
The EvoLTE has a better screen, camera, and keyboard.
The GS3 has a removable battery, better 4G signal, more intuitive software/shortcuts, and better multitasking.

4 G problems are currently not a problem here since no LTE is available as off yet... eventhough it was planned to be running by now....
I guess possible root from teh evo iw ould be more familiar with.... on the other side my mother in law has a S2... so she might be attracted to get the next model her mom got...The multitasking still buggs me out BIG TIME... but it is somewhat under control in Mean Rom i am running....
she does abuse phones... as far as just throwing it in the purse... that beeing said i still have a good Seido cover on my OG EVO ... so it absorbs most of the scratches... still she doesnt care about phones that much... they just land in the bottom of the purse...
Has she looked at the phones?
I'm the more phone techy one, so it may be just me but I'd be a bit disturbed if my husband gave me a phone with out my input.
FWIW, I had the Evo OG, rooted it. I thought about getting SGIII but I preferred Sense over Touch wiz and I liked how Evo LTE felt in my hand.
Finally, not everyone wants an iPhone even if the phone remains stocked and unrooted. I wish people would stop suggesting the iPhone as the default.
