Ok, so I would really like to use froyo without flashing my phone....When is the OFFICIAL release for the evo??? Also when the hell is Googles app inventor going to be released. I sent my email out weeks ago, and still nothing. HELP!!
And the answer to both these questions are......wait for it...
wait for it..
wait for it....
NOBODY KNOWS! No official release date of either have been announced. Google them next time.
FWIW, I heard Froyo should be out by Christmas.
I also heard that Gingerbread will be out before Valentine's Day next year, and Sprint will be giving out free upgrades to the EVO 2.0 for everyone who bought an original EVO on launch day.
The EVO 2.0 will have: CDMA, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, EvDO, HSPA+, UMTS, 802.16m WiMAX, LTE-Advanced, dual Micro-SIM card slots, a 6" Super AMOLED, 1.5Ghz dual-core ARM CPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal memory, a microSDXC slot, and come with a 128GB microSDXC card. It will cost USD$150.00 with a two year contract/renewal unless you have Sprint Premier, which almost every EVO owner should have already.

HTC, anytime from next week to December, 2010.
Cyanogenmod Froyo, probably within 2-3 weeks, 1 month max (based on reported progress, I'm guessing here)

I really can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but for the sake of conversation...
FREE upgrades? Never gonna happen in a million years.
6 inch Super AMOLED? Oh God, please no. 4.3 is already pushing it, I feel like anything above 4.5 will be overkill. Especially 6". At that point it's not a phone, it's a tablet and it certainly won't fit in your pocket. And isn't Samsung supposed to have exclusivity on Super AMOLED screens for a year or something?
The EVO is already $250 on contract, with all those upgrades, it couldn't possibly be $100 less.
Whomever sold you that rumor is smoking some serious stuff!

I'll give you a hint, House should've been a red-flag, and the obviously overzealous specs should've been a red flag (C'mon, Sprint with a dual-microSIM?).
Lolz you been TROLLED
Though there is a phone coming out... codenamed the "EVO 2" with a 1.5 Ghz processor (which doesn't excite me at all if it's another ****ty snapdragon) but that's all I've heard. The rest of those specs were pretty ridiculous
Hey, Android 4.0 release tomorrow @ midnight. You have to tie your phone to a stick and stick it as far in the sky as you can and it will upgrade automatically. Cant wait!

No way. Thats what I heard to from this site. Its the new Evo in 2011
http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/16/htc-evo-....../
LOL... this thread is pathetic... I'm 150% sure that HTC is not planning on using the Desire HD as a template for a phone that is coming out 9 months from now (if even). There is no such thing as a phone being a template for another... period.
WHAAAT lol? Havent you wondered about the Evo2?
These choices of HTC in terms of Sense and especially Gui/processor (not the Desire hardware for Gods sake) to me begin to paint a picture.
Um...guys...the Desire HD is the world version of the EVO with HTC's latest software builds onboard, so no it is not in any way shape or form a successor device it is a sibling of the EVO. This is well known and publicized.

I okaaaay! Template is wrong word.
Im interested in what kind of upgrades might be in store for an Evo2.... and these kind of improvements begin to help.
That ok?!
My guess would be a S/AMOLED, improved 4G radio, and of course better CPU/memory/ROM/cams.

I think it would probably be SLCD instead of AMOLED given what happened with the Incredible and Desire. Whatever it'll be, I'm looking forward to it.
Samsung has everyone locked out of super AMOLED screens for like 18 months or something so it won't be that.
I know this may be off topic a bit but I know my next phone will have to have a screen equal to or larger than the Evo.
Everytime I hold a different phone it's just sad. So hopefully the Evo 2 looks like an iPad with Android

That folds up in 4's to the size of the Evo. While its folded up it can be used for texting, phone calls, and things we already do. Unfold all sides and you have a tablet with android.. Oh and there is zero creases in the screen when unfolding/folding.
And I definitely agree, I want a phone of similar size now that Iv had the Evo.
The "EVO 2" will be nothing like what is currently available. I suspect that we'll see the "EVO 2" come with 768MB - 1GB of RAM, 4+ inch display, dual core processor with a crazy GPU, and hopefully (please), a higher resolution display to take advantage of the big screen.
HTC is big on constantly putting out gradual and incremental updates. The new Desires are a small bump up from the Evo in specs and probably by next year, the next Sprint phone along the lines of the Evo will probably be a small bump up from that. The nice thing is that every year, these little upgrades have added up to something worth buying to replace your current phone.
4.3 or 4.5" would be the limit of being portable. Look at the Dell Streak if you want a reality check. The screen resolution can go up and S-LCD will be the screen. Retina display or the likes will be the push. Aluminum bodies like the Desire HD seems likely. They will probably thin out the phone and push Dual Core processors. 32GB next year will be the standard with 64GB being the step up. Hopefully by then they will push the audio/video through micro-sd a little more to get that standard down. It's being worked on now.

+ isn't as buggy as the other crap on the market. They learn from their mistakes and fix them in future releases. unlike samsung, who just releases and ditches.
The next EVO is going to be a 5" tube with a speaker on top and the mic at the bottom. It won't have a battery but will use a fuel cell that you only have to refill once a month. To see the screen you unroll the tube to use the 7x5 display. It will have 4GB of ram and a 1TB mem card, not to mention a Core i9 CPU.
wow...hilarius man...yeah...uhh really funny (that was Brian from Family Guy sorry)
In the process they also obviously have to address the two major criticisms of the Evo: 1. Battery life and 2. Fps cap.

How are we supposed to decide which phone to get next with all these choices!? Lol
And for the 'over $350' part... with a new contract? I honestly don't see that happening. I think $200 and maybe $250 will continue to be the price point for high end phones for a while.

This is actually the same dual core family as the msm8660 dual core snapdragon, not sure what the difference is though. But the hercules only has 1gb of ram, even the Evo Shift has 2 gb.

apparently the bold html he added threw it for a loop (remove the )
"It basically matches the HTC EVO 3D, HTC Sensation & Samsung Galaxy S2 in many ways but offers a larger display."
The new toys will always be better than the old toys in some ways . . . what other industry can pry hundreds of dollars from their customer's wallets every year or so, willingly, just by providing new eye candy . . ?

Uh, what are you smoking? The Shift has 512 mb ram.
And the only difference with this phone and the EVO appears to be a .2 inch difference on the screen, and super amoled.
You'd still be trading in a higher resolution, 3D, and a dedicated camera button for this phone.
I look at it this way. I won't be due for upgrade til January, so I'll looking in December, at what's out there. My only mistake with the Evo was that it was already out 6 months when I got it, although it was good in that a LOT of development had already been done on it, still, my next upgrade will be a newer device.

Well losing 3D isnt really a big loss lol... at all. And as far as the resolution, the SAMOLED screen display is still the best there is anyways.
4.5"!!! Dear lord. After having an Evo, I want my next phone to be a 4"... of course it seems like the specs go up with screen size, which is stupid. I don't see awesome specs in anything less than a 4.3 these days.
The Evo 3d and Sensation will both have locked bootloaders(so the rumors say) plus the 3d has a ****ty 5mp camera(ok 2 of them but who the hell cares about taking 3d pics?) and the sensation has no 4G and only 1GB of internal memory(WTF HTC?).. Also this phone(as well as the Galaxy S 2) is made by Samsung. So, while you may be positively torn by this difficult decision, I assure you that I speak for many of us here when I say "MEH, I'm good with my Evo".

I feel the opposite of you. I got my Evo in March of this year and I am glad I waited. My friend recently got a Thunderbolt when it was only out 2 weeks and there were barely any ROMS for it, it was a NIGHTMARE to root and he had hardware problems(which supposedly will be fixed in later versions). However when I got my phone, it had a TON of dev work done on it, and the hardware kinks were sorted out. Of course if you don't wanna root/flash etc then a brand new phone would do great. But I wouldn't want one. Not to mention you never know when the newest phone will be a success or not. Some phones never "take off" and so the Devs don't do much for them. But by getting a slightly older phone I was able to make sure that the there was a large DEV community devoted to it. Some of the device forums for android phones are down right depressing in their lack of goodies!!
Lol, to crush? Really?

the new 5mp sensors should be better than our 8mp ones, just because of quality. iphone's 5mp KILLS our 8mp any day. so this to me says the 3d will be better than the evo in every way (minus kickstand, and maybe the dreaded bootloader lock, in which case the sgs2 will be the best probably)

That's really just an assumption tho. The reason(according to my google search) that we have crappy cameras isn't the sensor it's the fact that the video has to be compressed as it's recorded(even for stills) to the SD card. SD cards are slow. iPhones don't have them. They don't need the compression. The same manufacturer actually makes the cameras for both HTC Evo and Iphone 4. I'm not a DEV so if that's not true don't blame me that's just what I'm reading. Anyway, since the Evo3D has only 4g Internal it's a pretty safe bet that they will still be writing to an SD card. So unless HTC has figured out how to compress better(and that may not even be possible for all I know) then I'm very worried that the camera's won't be better at all. But if the 5mps look better than the 8mps we have now, and IF there is no locked bootloader then and only then would I even consider an Evo 3D. So here's hoping that they read this post and scrap them all and start over! We want our kickstand!
**** the Whales, Save Our Kickstands!

So, it's the same CPU, same ram, same display, but +4G, +better camera, + new design, +locked bootloader?
Not worth upgrading imo.
Complete dissapointment. Worse than what apple does. It even looks like crap with the curved edges. See everyone acts like apple is dumb for releasing the same phone. I would be happy with the same looking atrix, faster cpu, 720p screen and better camera. Im done with Motorola.
It also only has 8gb storage which is a major downgrade. CRAP!

its actually not a tegra 2 processor, screen is a little bigger and isnt a pentile display, no fingerprint scanner and they cut the internal memory in half. you also cant use the docks from the atrix 4g. definitely not worth the "upgrade"

WTF Motorola, adding mirror to a new phone that should have been added to the 8 month old one.
Definitely not giving up cm7 for this. In fact I feel it's a downgrade I many respects.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
they took away the fingerprint unlock ?
I agree with all the above, it is not worth the changing, especially since no word on the damn bootloader thing is being said. I guess that it will be locked as hell, with no easy unlockin in sight....
I prefer the photon on this crap any day, and wouldnt replace my Atrix for neither...
Boo Motorola! I like my Tegra and pudding thank you very much. not worth the downgrade. things in the original Atrix world are just starting to get interesting.
Where is our hdmi mirroring?!?!?!
I might as well pile on here as well and say LOL. Why the hell would they do this. Oh wait I know. MONEY. Greedy corporations make me vomit.
I cant help but wonder what went through the minds of the people who made this phone. It obviously was not meant as an Atrix replacement at first or it would match the internal storage and have a fingerprint scanner.
Also, no unlocked bootloader = no CM7. Atrix > Atrix 2.
I'm better off waiting for the Nexus Prime!

This is a slap in the face to all Atrix owners. iPhone 4s is a monumental leap forward compared to this.
Why so early ? the Atrix came out in April this year, now the Atrix 2 coming out in October ?
They should be waiting to next year and releasing it with ICS and with stronger CPU.
Well.... guess I'll be rooting and keeping my original Atrix.

It really is depressing that this is what the wireless world is coming to. For a company to release a second version of such an impressive phone.. with LESS features and less memory is just ridiculous. I would never upgrade to such a phone, even for the 'faster' web access. With the Prime coming and ICS, this seems like a desperate attempt to lock more customers in to a contract with a gimmicky sequel. The original Atrix is leaps and bounds ahead of this new version with all the hacks that have been accomplished.. and with nightlies coming, and ICS potentially in the future, I'll be happy to keep my Atrix 1. The only thing that might convince me to change phones is an ICS Prime.
I've been sitting on an upgrade since November just waiting for this phone. My wait was worth it. This phone is awesome. Fast, light, awesome camera, and has a really good finish to it. I got it out the door for $50 from best buy with the preorder and EVO trade in discount. Bought a otter box defender case too. The case is pretty badass

One of my reasons for (likely) hopping onto the Evo LTE wagon is the developer support I'm sure the device is going to get. HTC devices usually get a lot of love from developers, and the EVO incarnations (4G, 3D) have been among the best supported devices in terms of developers. Would it be nice having a quad core phone? Yeah. Doesn't make up for the fact that the development section will likely be a ghost town (for me at least).

It's 5pm right now I took the phone off the charger at 8am. I've done some browsing, market use, a couple phone calls and about 10 songs. I have Bluetooth and all sync items turned on (weather, email, etc.) And the battery is currently at 69%. It did sit idle for 2 hours while we went to the pool. So far I think the battery is running like a champ.
could you post some pics?? also with the phone inside the case, i was wondering how large the phone would look inside the otter case..
I'm picking mine up tonight. Gonna miss it around here. It's been great here the last 2yrs.
Thanks to all :thumbup:

Hopefully you did the Best Buy preorder deal. $50 for this phone is a steal. For the price I would have to say this is the best electronic devices that Ive bought as far bang for the buck.
Got it last night. Lovin it. It's almost too big. Funny how quickly my Evo could feel small. And we've already got 2 recoveries , things are looking good

I've had my heart set on the HTC Evo 4g LTE since i heard about it, but now that I've seen specs on the LG Eclipse 4g LTE, i'm conflicted...
quad core s4 1500mhz, with 2 gb internal ram, and 16gb storage, and a REMOVABLE battery... what... I don't know about LG's quality tho, i've never owned a LG, and when i've seen them, they always seemed like "cheap" quality...

If you always wait for the next best thing you'll never be happy, because as soon as you buy one phone something better will come along soon after. Stick to the LTE.

i want a new phone =(
Just saw this on GSMA. Specs don't seem to be the biggest upgrade and that price is significantly higher than what we paid for the One.

This version of the phone was at the coolicool site for more than a month!
Simply gsmarena found it yesterday!
yeah I saw the news today as well on several source,
Was hoping they will start to use SD 810, and possibly make the memory convention at least 4gb, to cater for at least 64bit memory space of usable space 2gb max.
I wonder what kinda project their operating system will be based on since they going to do if its not CyanogenMod, it will be one of the biggest challenge they will face especially for user who likes to have their own custom rom.
Four GB of ram on a phone is 100% unnecessary at least for now. Cyanogenmod may still work with them in future we do not know for sure. Even if there is no cm 'S' series firmware available in the future, most likely it will come in nightlies as regular builds.
I keep seeing price estimates of $550 and if that is USD, then I think they are making a big mistake (ala Nexus 6 by Google). To me, I saw the point of this phone as something similar to the Nexus 4/5 - a phone that offered a lot at a favourable price over the competition.
From a Canadian perspective at least, a price of $550 USD will mean an end price of around $780 CDN after shipping, currency conversion (which is at about 16.5% right now) and taxes on delivery. That's nearly $300 more than it is for the OnePlus One (which runs about $500 CDN depending on the province you are in). I can't see anyone up here wanting to go that route since it is the same range as every other Android flagship (which run between $600-$700 plus tax) and unless things improve drastically on the customer support front, there is still a lot more risk and hassle buying a phone from OPO than going to your local mall and picking up a phone. If they get as good as say Google is with the Nexus phones (I had easy RMA experiences with them numerous times with the Nexus 4 and 5 where I got brand new phones in about a week) then that may change my opinion.
Of course, Canada may not be a huge market for them and it's not like our weak dollar is their problem but I think they are selling quite a few OPO's here now and that market I can easily see drying up real fast if they raise the price that much. Thought I thought the same for the Nexus 6 as well and maybe that is selling well in Canada despite it being twice the cost of the Nexus 5.
I believe users who bought opo were looking for an upgrade to nexus 5 or bigger phone then nexus 5, but thought nexus 6 was either too big or too expensive lol. If opo releases one plus two that's significantly more expensive, I see even less people taking a risk on this manufacturer in the future

No body would buy it for that price anyway.... Why would someone buy a Chinese phone for high brands prices
The note 4 would be a better choice..
OnePlus had an AMA today and said they were still using the same business plan of small profit margins. The price would only go up if suppliers raised prices.

I second this... And if these specs from the link on OP are true (since these are just rumors), I will most likely not be getting the OnePlus Two; totally not worth it. I really hope these rumors are fake, or I'll be going back to HTC as my next phone.

Here is the latest from the rumor mill:
5.5-inch QHD display size
Snapdragon 810
4GB RAM
3,300mAh battery
Android 5.0
RMB2,699 yuan ($435)
Source: Gizchina
Via: gsmarena.com
This looks better and more probable than the rumor linked in the OP.
It may also have dual-sim capability and an SD card slot:
A still image allegedly taken from a OnePlus promotional video, supposedly shows a device that might be the next phone offered by the upstart manufacturer. The photo reveals a device that supports dual SIM cards and has a microSD slot.

If this is true (and it's a big if), I sure hope that dual SIM is an option since it would make developing custom ROMs nearly impossible.

Actually, not. This thread is a month older than that one and is more appropriately titled.

Sorry your right, saw yours as a new thread for some reason.
Just read the latest on the OnePlus Two. Not sure if it's legit but a reseller put it online. Check OnePlus Two Revealed?

Looks like an awful hybrid of the OPO and the Yotaphone..
So OnePlusOne is using the SnapDragon 810 v2.1 ...... But I want the new SnapDragon 820?

You'll probably have to hold out for the LG G4 Pro then, as this rumoured device supposedly features this chip. It sounds like it could be a great handset, hopefully its smaller than 5.7" though, I think 5.5" is the max size for a phone, anything bigger and you might as well get a tablet.
I heard OnePlus is gona push the boundary and introduced the worlds first smartphone with 10k screen and a PPI of 1,000 :cyclops:
