Im thinking of dropping it and going with another carrier. This is ridiculous.

Here, lemme fix that for you:

thanks that wouldn't take for nothin...

That's it lol? The day I decided to stop forgiving Sprint for 2 years of useless data by switching to Straight Talk AT&T. And this wasn't even the worst speed I've had with them. As someone who used to work for them, I have to say that, at the customer service level, they're better than most companies. They have a nice selection of phones. Hell, even their coverage is pretty damn good. But their data speeds are complete garbage, even before the iPhone came over to their network. Speaking of that, I know they were forced to carry it because Verizon picked it up, but right before the iPhone came out, they doubled the upgrade fee and removed yearly upgrades. Why? Because they spent about $15.5 Billion on iPhone 4's and 4S's and are not going to turn a profit until 2015.

Oh man, thats terrible. I dont even use it for internet or anything that involves data. I just use it as a phone now lol. I have wifi but I just whip out my latop and my son plays with the Evo. Im over here by Disneyland and its bad. Im going to give my wife the LTE and borrow her WIMAX Epic 4G Touch till then.

I pretty much have to use WiFi at home and the office. If I'm anywhere else, forget it. I don't even pull my phone out of my pocket unless it's for a phone call.

lol dont quote me about $$ i have been with sprint for about 12 years my bill was fine but since some of the recent changes my bill jumped about 100$ now for some that's not much but for me that's a major change. + looking back at my the 4 lines data use over the past 12 months .. only 3 months out of 12 have we went over 2 gigs a month for all 4 lines . unlimited data is nice IF i could use it. i use my phone for work i NEED my phone to work when i need it for emails calls etc etc
with sprint and there lack luster data i have just about lost 3 clients .. because i could not or did not get the emails i needed ... today was the last straw .. i have been battling this problem since the evo4g days ... nothing has change and imho nothing will out of 4 towers in my area 2 have been down and the other 2 getting super taxed ... ive talked to the so called techs and ll just want to replace my phone THATS ALL THEY EVER WANT TO DO ... its not phone its the service ..
so yea if i can save 90$ a month on my cell bill and not hit my cap on data im gone .. besided my buddy is a rep at another company that can get my 4 android phones for 97cent a pop ( not cheap phones either ) not dual cores but still good phones .

That's awesome dude. Congrats!
Upgraded is an understatement.
BABABOOEY!

Nice, but not all that...

Other than the awesome camera, and slim unibody design, this Evo LTE really isn't that much better than my old Photon. I'll probably feel differently when LTE is live, but considering there's not even WiMax in Wisconsin, it wasn't that much of an upgrade.
However, Sprint made a mistake and said I was eligible for an upgrade 7 months into my 2 yr contract, and my charging port on the Photon broke...so I'm not really complaining
Basically, if it's time to upgrade, go for it...but if your phone is only a year old, or less, I'd wait - unless you're in a first wave LTE market.

Thanks for the input.. But u forgot the 720p display.. Which sucked on the photon.. The way improved soc etc.. I don't know why ppl feel the need to post comments like this.. Just chime in on another thread (there's alot of them) thanks
It's one of the best phones... Globally lol! You only have that say for like a few months. Take a dump on that Photon & call it scientific.
Everything's awesome & no one is happy.

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.
If this phone isn't that good then could you name a phone that's better? The GS3? Maybe a bit nicer maybe not? If you're looking for something better then you might be waiting for something that's not even out yet.
Did he really just compare the Photon to the EvoLTE???

I get what the op is saying about the not worth it if the phone you have is a yr old or less. He is one of the few people that obviously don't upgrade to every increment.
And that he liked his photon enough just like a lot on the 3d couldn't see the point in upgrading to this email phone. Now until we get some hd apps other then hulu the screen is nice. I netflix hd would be a improvement as well as hulu in hd. I have no clue what performance is like on the photon. When it came out it was full of lag. And besides he was giving his thoughts switching from one to another right place meh maybe he could have put it I will another thread bu yeab.

That's how I feel when ppl say stuff like this.. Besides the lack of LTE atm what phone hardware wise is better.. Even with the gs3 u may get more ram (which is nice) but u lose the metal unibody and overall better build
This phone is a major step up from most of Motorola's phones which use crappy screens.
It's also the smoothest HTC phone I've had, and the audio is actually better than the iPhone that it replaced, and that is saying a lot because HTC headphone outs have always been crappy to me

Phone upgrades are getting less appealing.

I am getting just a little upset with all manufacures out there. Earlier on in the cell phone world, the newer ment bigger bang for your buck, to include updates. We are now subject to baked in roms as I do see the trend.....look at Samsung's s2 for starters(girlfriend has one). I loved my original EVO. Hardware was top notch but for the CPU. I saw the duel core as an upgrade but on this phone, some things work soso. Word to the wise, coming from a real general customer. Shape up or I will take what I got and move back to a simple texting phone on a CHEAPER carrier.

It's more about smartphones reaching a plateau.. There isn't but so much you can do.
You can keep adding cores, but for what? The technology for the cpu, gpu and everything else is at a really good point right now so upgrades aren't gonna be as big. It's the same thing when it comes to software upgrades.
Jelly Bean is a small upgrade when compared to some previous versions of android. Maybe you're waiting for a phone to rub your back and clean your house.. That isn't coming until Android 37.1 so you'll be waiting a while

I think the OP is upset because some things that work great on an older phone seem to have regressed with this phone (if I'm interpreting correctly).
I do understand in a way - some things that have gone backwards have no good reason to do so (things like the WiFi issue and the fact that the signal of this phone is not as strong as the original EVO, plus the volume is lower).
However, overall, this phone is absolutely awesome. Those little things will be fixed OP, don't fret.

Snake was amazing though...
I'm not sure what kind of leaps and bounds you're expecting cell phone manufacturers to make these days, but phones are still improving quite a bit. You must be talking about Apple releasing the same device every year with one or two incremental upgrades.
Glad I got some attention. I know that everything is moving forward, but do you think the general population (nonrooters) should have a phone that works as prescribed? Or are we really bata testing the public. Come on.....we are relying on Toyota to not fix the throttle problem again. I want only a cell phone to work as the specks say, or dang close to it in past Experience.

Remember that Galaxy S3 that "exploded" for "no reason"?

I was serious when I said I really, really doubted that he had no hand in it. Devices don't just randomly explode. This is what you get when you attention-whore on the internet. This is also what happens when you accuse a large company of creating a faulty flagship phone.
I hope he at least has to give back the phone that was hand-delivered to him.

I'll let all you 4G LTE guys quietly think about all the "bad build quality" statements you hurled at the device . We all make mistakes after all...

I saw your previous post, and while I appreciate that you retracted it, I'm very much the owner of an EVO 4G LTE and have never at all owned a Samsung device. Not trolling, just wanted to post a story that I know no one really wants to give any coverage.
I defended Samsung because I didn't believe for a moment that the phone "randomly exploded". The idiot tried to claim it did, and got his ass handed to him when the Fire Department found out it had to do with microwave damage.
so now that you have the LTE what do u.think LS? and yea I thought that Samsung story.was bogus

I love the build quality on this phone. I can't speak for Samsung devices (my father has an ET4G, and that's pretty decent), but I enjoy the more solid "metal" feeling of this phone than I do the original EVO 3D.

Yeha thats crazy. I seens that updated post from Engadget yesterday. I was kinda shocked by how people were puuting all the blame on Sammmy. But honestly, what did th eguys think was gonna happen when he put it in the microwave LOL. Hvae u guys used the SGSIII? its nice man. i actually like it. But considering I had the SGSII for 1 week (and hated it) i was definatly gonna pass on this one. i would rather buy the GNexus to be honest
so he put it in a microwave because of water damage??

I had my suspicions about it happening in a natural environment as well.
In other news, I just dropped my phone off a table and it was saved by a book on the floor. I have terrazzo floors, so it wouldn't have been good.

Never heard this story, don't really care tho honestly. I dislike Samsung because of the people around me constantly buying their phones and having numerous issues... They are bad.
The S3 does look like it's getting better tho, I know 2 people with them and so far so good. I rooted one of them... So we'll see.

Sometime should conduct an equal experiment and microwave an lte and see how it holds up under similar circumstances as the sg3. Then compare build quality.
And no, in not doing it with mine. Lol

It's still Samsung's fault. The phone should have handled its time in the microwave much better than it did. I'm sure my EVO LTE would have came out of the microwave with perfectly cooked hot dogs and Ramen Noodles.

I said it before and I will say it again, it isn't his fault for it getting microwaved. Chances are he was just walking through tall grass and it popped up out of nowhere.

Ok everyone, I just cleaned a bunch of comments. Please keep things civil. I know it's hard for some of you to do but please make an effort. Thank you.
Just wanted to stop in and say hi.
Moved on to the lte huh? Looks like just about everyone left me.
Btw, enjoyed that bit before.

I had my suspicions about it happening in a natural environment as well.
In other news, I just dropped my phone off a table and it was saved by a book on the floor. I have terrazzo floors, so it wouldn't have been good.

I've been ok and yourself? Yes, I still have the 3D but maybe I'll get an LTE by the end of this month.

Blown Away

Been an Android user for a while now but never had a phone quite like this. First time on LTE and 49 MBps download and 15 MBps upload is ridiculous. The battery life is obviously great! Currently at 69% with 8 hours of running time! The camera, S-Pen, screen quality... its just all really great and it is truly a productivity device! Awesome! Cant wait to figure out all of the features of it as I know there are many that I haven't figured out yet!
I hate you guys who get high LTE speeds. The speeds here suck lol they're like 10-15Mbps. When I went to Maryland, I had about 35-45Mbps so I took advantage and downloaded movies quickly lol

Haha its just too bad that I live just outside of LTE coverage and I only get 3G at my house. But yea I was in shock when I saw speeds that fast in town.The lowest LTE speed test has been 6 MB/s down and 2.4 Up. It averages around 20 MB though.
I agree with you I have been doing newsgroups all day rocking out emails videos I just feel so productive with this thing. The consensus of the phone on forums all over the internet are basically saying that this phone is pretty bad ass..
I don't think I've ever seen an Android phone get this much attention and get this much praise after release after being in the users hands. Also the battery charges pretty dang fast that's really good my old note took a while. This morning at breakfast I downloaded a movie savages and ended up watching it went to nap. This phone is truly a connected multi use device. With an iPhone I got stuff done very easily but at the same time I couldn't do more advanced things. Like being able to take advantage of this is awesome band with we have it's hard to do with iPhone but with this Android I've already trip to 17 gigs on this thing

What is the most you've used in a month? I'm a fellow usenet user myself
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
This is my first time usenetting from a phone using powernzb and it rocks!!!!! Paid 4.99 and I'm doing everything my PC did. This is one day of usage. I can't imagine being limited on data and having an android. Its worth it but vzw is pricey but a great network I'm doing amazing speed too in a bad area

Me too.. LTE is insane. That's why I can't understand anyone on VZ getting a Nexus 4 and skipping LTE.
My battery life too is what I always wanted from an android phone.. It's just awesome.
