Retail Device Discussion - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Ok guys i have been off contract with sprint for like 6 months and I've bought every EVO (Flagships) since the OG. What I exactly is the benefit of buying retail? I remember buying the 3d for $200 like 4 months after release and I bought LTEVO release day for $608 with body glove. The HTCO is an inferior device imo because I know s800 EVO or beast is coming but LTEVO land is pretty much dead. I may be forced to get The One because all the devs are migrating there... So I'm stuck.
***I Just Woke Up... Tell Me Where The Drugs At***

Not dead here man. Not everyone is bouncing to the One. HTCO is not inferior cause s800 won't be out until the end of the year, probably the Verizon "One" will get it but not Sprint, ATT and T-Mo. Sprint lets you upgrade every 18 months nowadays, not as good as 1 yr with Premier but still better than 22 months like the competition.

Dead?.........
Theres like 4 teams working together on sense 5 right now, Jamie just dropped liquid and updated pac, nin still has digital bath and wild for the night with dastin, theres evervolv, cm 10, operation jelly, rootbox, meanbean, thick chad g and flar are all still building kernels, super jelly, viper4g, omj's rom, and others im definitely forgetting and theyre all being actively updated except meanbean.
I hate when people make comments like that when their only contrbutions are discussion and picture posting threads..

+1 for youdug. Development for this device is in high gear. There are a ton of roms in active development, both Sense and AOSP. You want to see a dead phone? Head over to the Optimus G forums. There's nothing going on there despite being a higher-specced phone.

Well maybe dead was too strong, but idk... I just don't have the motivation. Since Virus left and now Mikey I'm just sitting on Viper. The Sense 5 looks nice, but I rarely flash ports. CMX and all the others AOSP roms are nice... PAC has my interest most, but sound quality kept me from CMX.1 again. I can't stand not having the latest and greatest either. I want the One, but S600 just can't compare with the big beasts like T4 and S800 eventho they aren't released.
Could someone tell me the benefit of buying retail tho?

I dont see a benefit. If youre gonna be with sprint for the next two years i say take the subsidized price and sign the contract. You can always cancel later and pay the etf and youll still save $100+.

Yeah youd lose both. But if you sign right back up with them im not sure if you could just get the number back or if it goes into a hold state for an amount of time. Idk. Im sayin if youre gonna be with sprint for the forseeable future why not just get the discounted phone. Do you plan on jumping to att, verizon, or tmobile? You can always buy retail while youre on contract so why not take the contract and get a phone cheaper if youre gonna stay with sprint anyway.

I see no benefit to buying retail. I'm not even gonna comment on "dead" forum.
Maybe T-Mobile might be worth looking at if they have decent coverage in your area. You can get the HTCO for $100 without signing up for 2 years . I know you pay $20 a month but still seems like a good deal .
Regarding S800. I'm sure its a beast but how much more computing power do you need when you look at the ONE's benchmarks. 12k on quadrant or something ridiculous like that
Sent from my EVO using xda premium

Does it really matter that the s800 or whatever has better specs? Android)/apps won't be optimized to use it for a long time and its not like you're going to be compiling code on your phone.

The reason I don't want to be on contract is just because how this economy is... Yes I work a good job now, but what happens if I fall on hard times and can't afford the bill? I don't want to be in debt because sprint 4g blankets my house.

Just was evaluating plans on T-Mobile etc and thought about my last decisions regarding phones. I don't think I'm really saving anything with Sprint . 4G in my area is good, 3G still blows, but I kinda feel like it'd be a mistake to shell out $700 this time.

Photon 4g or nexus s 4g

alright guys some of you may know i have a nexus s 4g, and i love it.. but my team already has people on it, so i offered to take on photon 4g. now that puts me in a spot, as i dont have one
so anyone unhappy with their purchase interested in trading?
Even trade? Not gonna happen, Sorry. That's like trying to trade your Sterling silver chain for a white gold chain.

I owned the nexus 4g for about 3 months and decided to upgrade one of my lines on the family plan (Family hand me down program hehehe)
I agree with newalkwer, I would not go back. I know you read about the screendoor effect, but let me tell you, yes, you will see it, BUT only if you really look for it. Otherwise, its a great phone so far and I will not look into returning it anytime soon. Sound quality is great and unlike the nexus 4g, the speaker volume on the Photon is LOUD! Let's me sneak in a couple movies in the data center with the servers humming away hehehehe.
Also, when i first looked at the nexus screen, I was wow, the display and the colors were great. But now that i think about it, It does look over saturated.
Well, to each his own, but these are my opinions on what i have seen so far.

You heard? Show some proof. I highly doubt that will be the case. This phone is off the hook and being unlocked and rooted now its only a matter of time before we get some sick kernels and ROMs. This phone rocks and I knew it would awhile back, no one believed me. Owell
If they are such a high sell rate why don't you buy one of CL then??
Good Luck

My roommate works at a corporate sprint store and he just mentioned tonight that they have sold about 30 photons and have had only 1 return, and that was just because the person didnt have coverage in their area and decided to go with att.. though the customer liked the photon so much my roomy told him of the atrix (with the updates the atrix performance wise is pretty close now besides the obvious upgrades of mopho). So thats b.s. about the high return rate. If anything the nexus s 4G is higher because of the obvious network issues stock (though update should have fixed this). Either way look on ebay, if u think u can get a even trade then why not sell on ebay and just use paypal to buy a photon on ebay as well...

We need you on our team Shabby..but seriously toss in like $50 extra and swap some poor sap on craigslist for a Photon. I had an NS4G and the Photon is leaps and bounds better. Here's how i upgraded....Evo 4g + $50= Nexus. Complained about radio on nexus = free 2 yr upgrade. Sold nexus for $220. Bought Photon for $219.48 with tax ftw.

My Daughter has the Nexus S and I just got the Photon yesterday and there is NO WAY I would take her Nexus S. WHile the Nexus S is a very nice phone, to me it's not as good as the Photon ( I am coming from the OG EVO) which the Photon puts to shame. The Photon is being compared to the SGS2. It's Crazy Fast and has ALOT of things that it did right. Downloaded Netflix and watched The Thing and it looked Amazing. I don't know why I hear people *****ing about the screen, it looks Incredible to me. Photon>>Nexux S. Plus with Google buying Motorola Mobility, I can only see this as a Win/Win
Guys, I'm in a bind!!! I can't decide between the Photon or the HTC Sensation... I know this is the Photon Forums and thus the bias is going to be towards the Photon, but can someone make a good argument as to why I should go with the Photon instead of the Sensation?
I will be heading out to the store to buy ONE OF THEM but I just need that extra push towards one of them!
Thanks in advanced.
PS. Also take into account the carrier. In other words, taking into account the phone AND carrier, which one is the best overall guy?
Photon hands down sprint has better coverage in buildings but T-Mobile data is faster but u get capped on T-Mobile, Sprint is unlimited. Photon processor is better then sensation and da 3d which is actually clocked at 1.2ghz, battery lasts longer on the photon, plus moto down wit google i kno dat locked bootloader nonsense is ova wit, photon has better voice quality and sound. Should i keep goin?

Really, is it that bad not being able to bill to your account? I mean, you would have to pay on the next billing cycle anyways, so it's not really that big of a deal. If people are thinking of going to a completely different service just because they have to pay for a device a few days sooner, that seems a little silly.
It's not Sprints job to be a bill collector for a third party. Not sure why anyone would care whether you paid Sprint or Visa for your phone. Heck you can now earn points on your credit card now vs paying Sprint.
This is a good thing for Sprint and it eliminates one source of cramming and dealing with having to collect from deadbeat customers who buy and run.
If it hadn't been for bill to account, I would not have gotten the last 3 phones from Sprint. Especially the EVO 3D.
I think you guys are missing the point. Point being sprint doesn't seem to be the company they used to be with all the changes. I'm not saying I'm switching, I know some are. I think everyone is basically saying that all the perks that brought people to sprint in the first place, are being changed slowly but surely. Lets try not to turn this into another damn argument. **** gets old.

In all honesty, it's posts like these that start arguments. We were just having a conversation.
Should I get a Galaxy tablet this way now? Just to milk them for stripping this.
I was always able to stretch this within 2 Billing cycles & comfortably buy accessories this way, this really sucks.
It made the stupid fees & taxes bearable, come upgrade time.
This unlimited data slowly isn't wowing me as much, the things that made Sprint great collectivly are falling down to the 1 thing........... they better make good on Evdo rev. B & unlimited LTE.
Where is the balance of good news vs this?
Why not limit it to good standing customers? Or Premier Go-..... -_-.
I better be wowed on Oct 7th...

Jumping the 3D ship...what's the next phone to get?

As it seems since it's been a while since the last "what's the next phone to get?" thread...
I've only had this phone for less than a year and I am going to eventually bite the bullet and just pay full price for a new one. While there are some great ROMSs out there (Clean, MIUI, etc.), Frankly, I've never had a more boring phone when it comes to choices sans bugs. Sooo....what's the next Sprint phone to get?? I looked at their website and it seems the same phones I had a choice of getting when I chose the 3D. Anything coming down the pipeline? What would you get?
I'll be hopping on the Nexus bandwagon as soon as they get it. I know it's going to be already "old and outdated" but I think I would still be happy with it.

As Jay said, the Galaxy Nexus will be coming to Sprint sometime in the near future. If you're wanting more of an update than either of those two phones, you should wait until later this year and see what Sprint has to offer for LTE phones, and better processor's too.

I will be getting the evo3d2.
Whatever phone I get to replace my 3D hasn't even been announced or rumored yet, so im just waiting and still having fun with my 3D.
I'm not going to jump ship but rather wait to pull up to port to see whats next. I would not even consider another dual core when quad cores are on the way. Next phone will also be LTE compatible.
My next phone will be on sprint and will support LTE on both of springt's frequencies, 800Mhz and 1.9Ghz(I think). Quadcore on 28nm die. 4.5" screen. After seeing what HTC did with the bootloader, I'd like to see a Nexus device on sprint that supports the LTE I'm looking for.
I love my evo3d, running Myns 547 nightly, Anthrax kernel and system tuner to keep the voltage low for great battery usage. As long as people dont chase all the developers away with their complaining, this phone will only get better with all the creative talent here at xda
Hopefully in about a month we will know what the next one is. Hope it's quad core and big

To be honest switching phones right now and extending your contract for a phone of this time is really stupid .
One they will be generally around the same specs so there's no point .
Just wait a year and a half when phones will have major upgrades and quad core.

The Waiting Room - Off-Topic Chat

While we're waiting for our phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the Evo, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.

saw it. watch them all here every week. What I thought was funnier was the phone they were using in the Speed social media center(social garage) was the Samsung Epic 4G Touch...least thats what it looked like when R. Wood was showing off the Nascar app....Found it real interesting they didn't give him an EVOLTE to use....esp if they had a ton of signage for it...

Yes I did and yes it was everywhere. Last year they were showing off the EVO 3d to all the drivers and even the announcers had them. its also in the best buy ad this morning. I bet a lot of people go there and are pissed when its not

lol, I've been preparing for this moment for a long time
My ex old lady used to always say she thought I was psychic afterall, or was it psycho.. don't remember
I've been having problems with my OG Evo for like a month now. I didn't know about the charge dock problems even though I'm always here flashing new roms. I was anxiously waiting for the new one and then all of this happened. For a while, I was seriously considering cancelling my order but then I realized that that would be a win for Apple and I could not contribute to their gain. I decided to wait patiently for my phone.
In terms of the patent I think its BS, and this is coming from a software engineer. I don't want to go deep into that discussion but working with code is a whole different ballgame.
In terms of the whole GS3 vs. EvoLTE vs. iPhone5 thing, I think both the GS3 and the EvoLTE are good phones. I don't know much about the iphone5 specs yet. What I can say is that apple products are not that unarguably better overall for them to have so much money and crazy fanboys right now.
The best apple product was the iPod by far. It revolutionized the industry. Everything else from there has come off branding. You can argue about the OG iPhone and iPad being nice too but that feels like a century ago. Like I said, everything else is marketing. Its funny people buying expensive macs just to log in to facebook and serious customers run parallel half of the time to use windows programs.
Right now, we have competition and we have android developers working their a** off to get a small share of the pie and that's why I can't cancel my order. After I read this, I was shocked by how this blind fanaticism is hurting the industry around the world. I don't wanna be a part of that. Like I said, some Apple products are great, but they are not unarguably so ahead of the curve for them to be squashing everyone that easy. My two cents...

Awesome I guess, but who cares thats not off topic man!
Lets continue the talk about Nascar ... Yes I saw all the branding and yes it ticked me off..
Now watching the New cars at Indy, wow they are funny looking. I can't get used to them. They do go fast though, unless of course your car has a Lotus motor in it... those suck. Chevy is dominating! YES!

Rezound users pre ordering gs3

Just curious if anybody was pre ordering the galaxy s3 so as to take advantage of the last opportunity to upgrade with subsidized pricing with out being shoehorned out of your unlimited data plan Sent from my high res rez using Tapatalk 2
Nope...not 1 user is going to pre-order.
If it were me honestly I would upgrade to an iPhone 4S and sell it for $500+ unopened and keep my Rezound.
I will if they let me pre order 7 months earlier than my scheduled upgrade date, haha

I'm going to pre order it and sell it unopened for $700, that it's projected value should be. Doesn't make sense to buy a 9 monthold phone and sell it for less than the gs3.

I'm gonna buy it, its $599 for the 16gb, only I'm gonna keep it and sell the Rezound

why would it sell for 700 when you can just buy it without contract for 599. But Im thinking about buying one, seems like all the rezound devs are leaving, and I get bored with nothing to flash lol.
No line to do it but my second line, when I can... I'm grabbing one.
ReZound

You realize the full cost of the phone without subsidy is less than $700 right? You won't get more than $500-$550 for an unopened iPhone or GS3.
Who cares, this is not the GS3 forum...
Hi guys,
Sorry for oot (rather than i make a new thread),but i really need your input about rezound.
I'm planning to have one,but i have a little doubt on it.
I know that rezound has a high clock cpu but it is a bit outdated than S4 or omap 4460,will this perform well until years ahead?
I read somewhere in this forum that developers are leaving,is that true? (i'm a flashaholic)
Since cdma operator is cheaper than gsm,and i have not much option to choose a good cdma/global phone in here,so what do you guys thinking?
Really appreciate for your input.
Thanks

There are Sense 3.6 roms/ Sense 4.0 roms, a MIUI rom, and ROMs that attempt to de-sense as best they can and use Apex for an AOSP feel.
While it is true that we don't have many devs left, HTC should release the ICS kernel source and rumor has it that AOSP/AOKP/CM9 could get RIL working with the kernel source. I shouldn't get your hopes up too much for that happening though because the one person who said he would do that got mad and left. Whether he decides to release it is up to him.
I preordered it. I got my rezoned on my sisters line because she didn't order a phone for 2 years (serious). My line has been free since March. I'll keep which ever one I like more but if the GS3 battery is way better that will be enough.
I may. So much infighting, off topic, and red hot developer on developer action here, with few updates on the few remaining roms.
Then there's all the developers being pushed away by the negativity too.
I'm not saying it won't be any different on the other phones, but it should have a really big following.
I was hoping for CM9 months ago, to finally get all of my devices on one ROM, but that looks like it won't happen anytime soon.
I can afford it these days.
Love my Rezound though.

Yea not to mention our cdma phones' gsm international counterparts always sell for higher since there is a greater, international demand for them and they are not locked to the united states only for the most part. Anyone thinking they'll get more than $500 for this phone is dreaming. I don't care if its mint or unopened, I'd still rather get it from my initial order than second hand if I'm going to spend that money.

The S3 is massively inferior to the S4. How much it matters though, I dunno. The Rezound unfortunately is old news, and devving is petering out.
I ordered a GS3. Wanna use my upgrade before the 28th.
Already pre ordered. The rezound has been great but the S3 is so powerful... I can't wait to see what the developers can do!!

Forgot to add I'm buying it at subsidized price so I'll make around 500$ profit. Also I was gonna get the 32GB one so I rounded up. So if you wanna get technical $649.99--semantics my friend. Hopefully the phone gets sold out and brings up the price of the phone, too. Bet you anything that'll happen.
I may preorder as well haven't decided yet but probably just to use last upgrade before unlimited data ends and trade sgiii for something else down road

I might pre-order one, then sell it.
