Probably a good thing you don't. Not sure you have enough room in your sig, to house another device worth of info
Was going to jump to sprint to get this. Finally leave Verizon. These reviews are pretty bad though. Hopefully with updates some of these issues can be fixed.

The best YT vid I watched said something to the tune of:
if you need a new device, it's a great first or replacement. I would not sell my M8 to get the M9, as there are not enough improvements to the platform. Stick with the M8.
That's rather telling, I would say.

really there is no improvement. seeing the m9 review. the camera is not good. that why is not worth it,
Well here's a little "pick me up":good:
When you're all ready for it:
[NOOB Friendly] Root and Install TWRP on HTC One M9
Latest version of M9 TWRP, direct DL page:
http://teamw.in/devices/htconem9.html
Probably.
This will be a long version of saying YES, so here goes...
I had the M7, loved it. Jumped right on the M8 and "liked" it. My biggest issue with the M8 is kind of a silly one and it's mostly a behavior thing for me. Essentially, I couldn't stand how slippery the lil' bastard was. In my first few days, I dropped it on the pavement just carrying it to my car. Most of the drops were at my desk, just trying to do one-handed input. The thing is large, even for my large hands, so one-handed input was tricky, especially with a slippery phone. Now, most of you probably wonder, "Why the hell don't you just get a case?" Simple. I don't like cases much. I like the feel of the slim device in my hand without extra bulk. Often times, I slip the phone into the back pocket of my Levis. That's where my problems began. Sitting on a 2nd story balcony at dinner one night, my back was to the railing. The phone was so slippery that it slipped out of my back pocket and dropped two stories to the sidewalk below (thank God nobody got hurt). Shattered screen, requested my insurance replacement and got it in two days. The problem was, every single replacement (3 in total) had a blown speaker. After Sprint sending me 3 different replacements, I was so pissed that I switched to the Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S5 is my first Samsung and now I know why. It's a big ol' piece of sh!t. Slow, clunky, plastic, TouchWiz - need I say more?
Bottom line, I've heard that the M9 has a better grip and isn't as slippery as the M8, so I'm thinking I have to switch back. Just can't handle this Samsung junk. I'll be selling it on eBay with all the accessories (Mophie case, extra battery with a dual charging dock, carbon fiber slim case, and a shatter proof screen protector).

I really want to but I'm so used to the note 3 features like spen that it's going to be tough. Not to mention the much larger screen. I love htc though and dislike touchwiz but have got used to it. I really want those dual speakers though. So badly wanted the prime or larger version.... And I get the reason to stick with the m8 if you have it.. I stayed with the note 3 over the note 4 for the same reasons and am happy I did.
I'm honestly hoping to hold on for the note 5 or if this m9 prime is ever released maybe they will have worked out the bugs of this one first.. So tough when your ready for a change. The wait is grueling but I want to be happy about buying a $600 pocket computer. ..

Anyone else already have theirs?
Going to get mine after I pay my Easy Pay stuff off next week, hopefully there's some form of CM ready when I get it. I'm sick and tired of the G3's development scene, all the GSM variants get the good ROMs while the Sprint variant had to rely on some ducktape & staple version of CM (Seriously, they increased the max volume and tried to fix NFC for the 1000th time and called it a "nightly") . I'll be really excited if CM11.1 gets ported because Holo is damn pretty on the M8 but I doubt it's gonna happen.
I am coming from the m7 looking forward to the m9
Got mine a few days ago at an event here in Los Angeles. Loving it
Sprint store or Bestbuy?
I revisit this decision every upgrade. Times have changed and are their any benefits to one or the other?
Bestbuy used to carry a better damage warranty/replacement deal long time ago. No frills no questions asked.
No more. They take the monthly charge and no matter what it is, they want another 150$. Plus they dont offer a loaner till you get a new one.
Used to have sprint plan similar to above, but have not since they use assurion.
Your experiences? Comments...

Im curios to know how many people will take back their Evo 3D if no root method is found within their first 30 days. Im still debating myself, but I think this may be a way of getting Sprints attention. If there is a significant number of people who threaten to take theirs back, maybe Sprint will put the heat on HTC too.
I've threatened to but I am not sure that I will. Rooted or not this phone is ridiculously sick and I am having way too much fun with the 3D feature! I remain confident that HTC will get this done, perhaps with the 2.3.4 update.
You'd have to take it from me!
(Please don't take it from me!)
I won't. I like it fine now. Root would, of course, make it better.
I LOVED my EVO 4G, rooted with Myn's ROM Picked up the 3VO on Friday, was not super blown away at first, but now three days later, it is a more mature and refined EVO 4G, polished up in all the right places, and overall a better device. I like it over my ogEVO for sure, but it's not night and day better.
But seeing the reviews of the Galaxy S2, makes me think 99% I will go for that when it comes out. I am a sucker for the Super AMOLED+ screen, just go to an ATT store, check out the Infuse 4G, it uses the same screen tech, and instant boner looking at that beauty, the colors are jaw dropping, and viewing angles perfect.
Plus the Galaxy S2 is super ****ing thin, I am sucker for razor thin phones, they look so much more futuristic to me. And the design of it being an all black thin slab, just looks so cool. When Sprint gets it, it will be hard to resist.

Lets fact it not that many people will return this phone to have the impact you are looking for; the fact is it is not just a good phone it is a stellar. Even without root, this phone is one of if not the best on the market right now. I won’t get hung up on the root for now because I am sure either, HTC or the community will unlock the device.
I'm still debating as well if I should go back to the Evo 4G or stay. I do love all the new features, design, and speeds...but mess my rooted apps. I would also like to add some lockring and battery mods. I had a rooted Evo 4G with Sense 2.1 + 3.0 already (MikGv2.4) and mess the mods and themes. Hopefully HTC gives out the bootloader soon. If they do, then I'm definitely staying with my Evo 3D.

x2 on that new Samsung coming out... It seems very tempting to make the trade if HTC doesn't unlock these phones. I'm not really concerned with 3D. It's a cool 'wow' factor to friends but I personally don't really use it on my own. I guess when it gets closer to time for the new one to come out, I will make my decision then... Right now I'm leaning more toward sticking with HTC.

+1...I am SUPER impressed with this phone overall. The 3D turned out not to be too gimmicky, but rather awesome.
Love it but it will go back if no root.

Learned this lesson a long time ago: never buy anything on a promise! I for one will not return it whether it gets root or not. I'll have a LOT more respect for HTC if they do unlock it, but me personally, I bought it knowing it was going to be locked. The "talk on the net" about HTC unlocking it via an OTA update is/was always just heresay. I also have confidence that whether they unlock it or not, eventually someone will pwn it.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I will stick with it. I am very satisified with the improvements root or not and i do not see anything much better coming out for quite some time. After testing many different android phones I can say this one has the best battery and features and i have tried many out from the G1, mytouch, hero, droid, evo4g, epic, thunderbolt, nexus s 4g. No phone is by any means perfect out of the box. It all comes down to if it works for you and gets you through the day.
27 days & counting. It is a great phone & a nice improvement from the original Evo but I can't see going any significant time without root. Plus I pretty much had my eye set on the GSII anyway. Figured I wouldn't loose anything from trying this out for at least 30 days.
Sent from my Rootless....but still pretty awesome Evo 3D using XDA Premium App
mine went back today. too many little issues aside from locked bootloader.
and btw... sprint is trying to charge existing customers $35 restocking fee to return the EVO3D. you can get it credited back if you know who to call and ask for it
Only a few hours in but it already seems like a keeper to me. I like the improvements made and the only thing I miss so far is the hotspot unlocked. Even without root it's a really good phone so far. Kinda like the Evo's big brother.
Root will happen its just a matter of when. I got the phone Friday and i got to admit I was somewhat let down. After having it all weekend and it now being monday, I will not be going back to 4G. The 4G phone was probably one of the most enjoyable phones I have ever owned. Not 1 single complaint about it. But this phone has so much more potential. There are a few things I don't like such as charging port location, no seperate hdmi, but I can live with it. This phone is definately more advanced than the og evo. And i will always have a place in my heart for my beloved 4G but i am keeping this one.

I very specifically did not over-accesorize this phone, because while at the moment I'm enjoying the phone as it sits......There's no way I can keep this thing for 22 months without being able to theme it and flash custom roms.
literally 30 minutes ago i dropped my epic and the glass on it shattered even though the touch screen still responds fine just hate the feeling of it. This is not the 1st time. it would be the 2nd time i would have to pay $100 to sprint to get a replacement with their insurance. its been 2 years so i do have an upgrade available. im thinking about just selling the epic for about $100 and spending $100 out of my pocket for the evo 3d. I think i should buy it at bestbuy and their insurance which covers screen breaks but is $3 more than sprints.

Can you elaborate on this for me? I've been pleased with it so far. My sister in law has her insurance through Sprint and had to drop $100 for a new phone after hers was run over (oops). If I did that, I'd get a replacement for free as long as I can bring in the damaged device. The only downside I've seen so far is that if my phone is lost/stolen then I'm pretty much SOL because they require you bring it back. Is there something else that makes BB's policy suck that I'm not aware of?
Thanks!
Coming from an epic myself, you will be pleasantly surprised. I know dumping Touchwiz and going back to Sense was huge for me. I don't even miss the physical keyboard

Do the upgrade as soon as possible,what are you waiting for.The epic is not a good phone.Put your trust in to HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT!!!!!!
10000% love this phone
I believe Sprint will replace broken glass, in store, without filing an insurance claim. I've seen many people say they got their OG EVO screens replaced by Sprint, not sure about Samsung phones, not sure if it will be the same with the 3D. I would suggest upgrading and sticking with the Sprint insurance.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I've replaced the OG EVo screen, it's not too hard if you watch a Youtube video I'm sure it is similar for the epic. But you may as well do an upgrade. If you don't then you are passing up free stuff, as you could just do the upgrade and sell the phones you get from it.
Bk
I use Squaretrade knock on wood only had to use it once but it was quick and painless just keep an old phone around u can turn on for a day or 2 till they send you a new one. There is always online 30% off coupons running around as well.
I would link it but I guess I don't have 8 posts yet.
Hey guys I don't think you remember that simply overclocking the hummingbird proccessor to 1.3 ghz blew away alot of phones. Not saying the epic is faster than the evo 3d l, but worthy of an upgrade? I'm not sure. I wouldn't mainly because of the screen the keyboard, and the awesome hummingbird processor.

The epic was a great little phone, and is getting updated to 2.3 fairly fast. It doesn't have the most support available anymore, but the devs that are still there do decent work. I enjoyed mine a lot until I passed it down to my mother. She really likes it. S-Amoled screens are nicer than the EVO3d, but I would rather have a bigger resolution than a Super Amoled screen.
I made the switch to the 3D on day 1...dont miss my Epic one bit...sure it takes a while to get used to the different layout, but you are going to have that with any new phone. The phone, to me , feels solid in my hand and I have been more than happy with how quick and responsive it is. Someone mentioned overclocking the epic to 1.3ghz...uumm, not the same at all...I tried that and I can honestly say that a 1.3ghz overclocked Epic does not come anywhere close to a 1.2ghz dual core 3D (one core...two cores...hhhmmmmm...no brainer to me).
Make the switch, you'll be happy you did if for no other reason than you are done with Samsung.
epic is better 2 me..music plays louder on pANDORA..4G ALWAYS GETS A SIGNAL..my evo 3d doesnt even get 4g lk my Epic did..Iam switching bak until a better phones comes along

I upgraded from EPIC to 3D. Only one day in, so too early to know. My very early thoughts:
1. Missing the colors and blacks of the SAMOLED screen on the EPIC. If I do not see it side-by-side, it does not bother me too much. But side-by-side...wow... I miss the EPIC.
2. Resolution is very nice. This is one of the main reason I upgraded. However, en practice, I do not notice it much. And some of the icons look blurry (not sharp) to me. Maybe they are not made for the qHD res.
3. I used to love HTC Sense, but I have grow to like a more vanilla-like experience. I was using LauncherPro Plus on the EPIC. Sense is just a bit too much for me now, for some strange reason. Personal preference here... I will checkout how LauncherPro Plus works on this, but cannot wait for a cleaner ROM.
4. I have been yearning for the community support of the original EVO. The EPIC never really picked up as much as I'd hope. As an early adopter of the 3D, it remains to be seen whether it will get comparable support as the previous EVO. Eagerly waiting on this one!
5. I miss the keyboard, but not as much as I thought. The screen is large and the soft-keyboard works very well. Maybe someday I will get to have my cake and eat it too.
6. To me, the 3D is even more gimmicky that I thought. I did not buy the phone for it, but boy did it last less than a minute. I guess I should watch the movie, but it is on the tiny 8GB card that came with the phone, which I promptly replaced... need to re-download the content to see.
7. Build quality feels amazing. Solid. But also heavier.
That's it for now!
Just took it apart and seems to be an easy fixable phone for replacing broken LCD or digitizer. I also checked there is 1 led per soft touch key on bottom so thats good, usually they would do one for every 2 buttons. The status led indicator seemed well placed, so i assume brightness of it maybe would be able to be adjusted in programming rather then hardware. Here ya go..

Thanks for being the brave one. And it's good to hear that each of the soft-lit key are powered by an individual LED, rather than just 1 or 2 which would often mean uneven lighting.
If I attempted to dissemble my Rezound I might just pop an ulcer in the process.
lol no problem, i guess now im just going to wait untill the full root comes through so i can start looking to see if the led's can be set to be brighter and if the speaker can be louder

I don't understand why anyone would continue to buy moto products.
The DX1 was locked the hell down and didn't get any "new" roms until 2nd init was discovered. I don't know why anyone would make that mistake twice with the X2.
Then the Bionic? Who in the right mind would buy that phone after it came out so late? How can you support a company that can't get their **** together for months?
The Bionic was an attempt by Moto to take $$ quick off the publicity before the RAZR came out, lol.
But yea, I didn't do **** with my X1 the whole time I had it, I just started to get involved in the Dev world in August.

yup, that's why i stick to HTC for my smartphones. my first was the eris, second was the inc, and now it's the rezound. i've used PLENTY of motorola/samsung products and damn i can't stand them lol
honestly guys i love moto phones more than htc. First off the thunderbolt pissed me the hell off with its heating up issues and battery issues and all that crap was so annoying, u dont keep a phone to use as a heater. When the samsung charge came out i jumped on it, loved it for the reason that it didnt heat up AT ALL even if i used the net for a long time. But it suckkkked software wise. The bionic was really good liked it a lot but still wanted a more detailed screen so when the htc rezound with the smoothness in software came out i loved it. So far with this rezound im happy, made me think good about htc again, but ya motorola has always been loyal to me
Eh, to each their own. I've never had any problems with htc so that's why they're ok to me! Lol

Thats crazy, I've been using my thunderbolt instead of the bionic because the bionic is so freaking awful.
Yea, my buddy is having so many LEGITIMATE issues that today Verizon finally agreed to warranty replace with the Rezound. He just texted me the good news. They said they have a "fix" due in December, he said that is not good enough. Which, he is right, we don't pay for these devices to not be able to use them to the full effect. Bad news for him though, he fell for the accessory package, they don't reimburse you for those.

That's bull****. Verizon told me they would exchange my bionic for a thunderbolt or a stratosphere. Why the hell would i want to trade the bionic for the 8 month old phone i replaced with it!
i highly suggest being very carefull because many defects with this evo, my camera doesnt even zoom in and take pictures correctly.....this is insane. i will never give in again, samsung all the way baby
user error? mine works just dandy! recorded the whole Devils celebration over the rangers and too kstills at the same time. zoomed in and out perfectly.
That's tragic, you made the determination that there are lots of defects based on your experience with the phone you got. Seems kind of silly. I would say based on the number of phones shipped, and the few comments on defects I have read in ALL the forums I visit.
In all honesty, both Samsung smartphones I had were buggy. Not just defective, but permanently borked in one way or another. GPS that doesn't lock? Yep, I had one.
Don't swear off one company just because you got a lemon. Samsung has its lemons too. When life hands you lemons.. send it back for a good one
what do i do guys, return with htc... they said 2 week wait
sprint doesnt even have in stock yet, any suggestions????

if it is only a camera issue.. can you live with it for a week or 2.. till they can get you another one?
NO product has zero defects?
you said lots of defects and yet you only listed one???
i have no problems with my camera zooming in or out.. so what else you got?
only problem with my camera is that sometimes it over saturates the picture, but it also works out to my advantate, i take pictures when its getting dark and the grass looks nice and green as if it was a sunny day. Lovin it.

since when has SS become the benchmark for good quality phones? They had a plethora of issues when the S and S2 first released as far as I'm concerned. My cousin got his S2 in Jan/ Feb this yr and it is buggy as hell and by that time the phone had been out way too long.
But anyway my suggestion: return your phone and wait for the S3. I think you will never be able to be satisfied w the quality of HTC phones because you have already formed a conception about them. Even the buggiest Samsung phone will be better than an HTC good phone according you. Return it and get another phone. At the end of the day it's your money your experience you should get what makes you happy. And by doing that you are doing goods as well since there are less negativity going on around.
Cheers.

It is just a phone... If you get that worked up, it is time to switch to a new hobby.
I have no issues with mine, get it replaced instead of opting for a plastic Samsung phone.
true, but the idiots today are paramount, and its so hard to live among idiotes and bums.......

First u were jumping the HTC ship to Samsung because of one camera defect. Now jumping the smartphone ship altogether because u have to send it to a manufacturer who's willing to fix it for u even though u don't have the original receipt?
Bit much don't ya think?

1) No removable battery
2) No microSD
Things that would make me very unhappy:
1) If the phone gets any taller or wider
2) If it stops supporting Qi
3) if it ditches the curved back
Things that would make me very happy:
1) They shrink the bezels even more
2) Verizon doesn't logo it up
3) They make an iPhone quality fingerprint scanner on the back power button that will work while knock code is still on too
4) Ditch the LG skin
5) More powerful IR blaster
6) 1080p resolution if it means better battery life versus 1440p
Oh my. Yes

Well, considering I just upgrade to the G3 in December, not having an upgrade for two more years pretty much prevents me from upgrading to the G4! LOL!

I'm in the same boat. Got my G3 in August so I'm stuck with that for a while.
I don't see how people can justify buying the next new iPhone, Galaxy S or LG's flagships every year.
I don't feel like the jump from the G3 to the G4 is going to be enough to get me to upgrade.
The HTC One M9 will keep me from buying the G4.
My 2 year contract.
Satisfaction with my current phones.

Buy new device, sell old one on eBay for small loss; it amounts to renting a phone for $100 a year.
My crack habit. Sorry OP!
Every phone up until the my g3 had a custom recovery available thanks to developers figuring out how to by pass the bootloader or unlock it before I bought it. Whereas the G3 wasn't for about the 1st month I owned it and it drove me nuts because I am a flash aholic so I can't wait to see what the G4 is like, but this time I'm going to wait until the or it gets a custom recovery!
Unless it had a minimum of 64 GB of internal storage, there's no way I'd get any smartphone without a MicroSD slot.
I can't think of anything they could add so maybe working on size a little big not sure thats possible though. They can make the screen go brighter that seems to be one of the bigger complaints with the g3. I really have been lucky with not having to many issues. last year I jumped through the big 3 phones and ended up with g3 but I dont see a reason to try the other 2 as of right now.
While on the subject of possible weakness in the G3, my two main although relatively minor complaints and room for improvement are:
1. The notification LED is not noticeable unless I'm looking directly at it. For comparison, although the Galaxy S2's was too big and cartoony, the Galaxy S3's was perfect. I could see it out of the corner of my eye but it wasn't obnoxious. The problem might not be the size on the G3, it might be how deep inside the LED is, limiting it's visibility at anything but near direct angles.
2. Laying on it's back on my work desk or elsewhere, I never hear or feel the vibration, which I have set for all notifications. I theorize that the curved back, which I like very much, keeps the vibration from being noticeable due to the very small area of contact between the back of the phone and the desk surface. I don't want to keep it flipped over, I prefer it on it's back, I don't want to have it flipped over AND turn on the camera flash notifications, and from what I've seen without modification, the screen lighting up temporarily for notifications isn't that noticeable either.
The g2 had bad sound quality. The g3 has even worse sound quality.

I dunno. I am so disappointed with the Nexus 6 launch. Its still nearly impossible to get this phone and its still pretty pricey. I am disappointed that Verizon never formally launched it.
If the LG G4 has 4gbs of ram, I would without a doubt sell my g3 and get the g4.
But its looking like the galaxy s6 and htc one m9 both only have 3gbs of ram.
Why do I want more? To make it future proof. My lg g3 performs blazingly fast with Illusion 5.5 5.0.2 based rom. No major issues.
I would say that if motorola and lenovo release a padfone like device I would jump on that. Or ya know, if the Droid Turbo finally gets root... ha ha.
Do we have any concrete info on the G4?
I Got my G3 back in September, its a champ. I see no reason to upgrade right away.
With Bump out, the ability to run custom kernel/ROM, on 5.0 btw, so again, no reason to update. I love my phone.
I didn't think I would be here saying that coming from the Nexus 5. The root and rom method is so seamless and the ROMs so stable, running BlissPOP 2-20 here.
I would like a more premium feel to the device, but o'well. I can run anything I want on this thing, no problem.
...but do we have any info other then the couple concept renders, that are confirmed?
Ugh. It's getting bigger. But just barely. I so wish they would have wen the other way size wise.

Selling this thing on Ebay wouldn't even give me enough to buy out of my contract lol, let alone buy the new one lol
It's definitely be closer to $200 for me personally by my math, and I'm perfectly happy with my G3. Any device without a removable battery, a micro SD slot, and root and bootloader unlock is a device you can count me out of haha To each their own

Verizon LG G3 's are going for $315 ($400 mint) on swappa. Assuming G4 is $600, that's $285 you would pay for a new one. I would gladly pay an extra $85 to stay out of a contract (especially since I'm still on an unlimited data plan).
