with Google - EVO 4G General

Is it just me, or is the EVO missing the 'with Google" mini-logo?
Out of all the other American-released android phones, I haven't seen another (recently) without the 'with Google' logo.
Not that I would care - all of my battery cover logos are covered up with carbon fiber anyhow. But has anyone else notice this?

TheHero had that logo

Hmm, interesting point.
It's on all of the droids that I've seen, even the first droid which has full motoblur says with Google.
The new HTC phones says: With HTC Sense. Kind of seems like the EVO is the in-between child.

I think the "with Google" branding means that it's approved to use the market. Kind of like a authorized Android device. Don't know why its missing on the EVO but I guess that its just a optional thing to add if you're "authorized".

The Evo IS actually a "with Google" phone. In fact, the first evo prototypes had the logo, but it seems that Sprint decided to replace it with their own 4G logo.
Also, to further confirm this, look at Google Android Phone gallery:
http://www.google.com/phone/detail/htc-evo-4g
Evo is clearly listed as a "with Google" phone.

Nope...I have my Sprint Hero and it doesn't have the "with google" logo. It just has "HTC" on the back.

Some Heroes have it and some don't. My launch-day Hero didn't, but a refurb warranty replacement I got did.

HTC Hero Promo VIDEO

The promo video shows off the HTC Hero and the Rosie interface. Looks awesome.
Cool!
Nice promo video, hope the Hero is a promising phone with better specs. Looking forward to it, thank you for finding the video.
is that really HERO? is HERO also aka G3?

I think the Hero is the G3. This may be the G1 redone. This one doesn't have the keyboard so it can't be the second G1; that means the title is wrong too
There is no G3. There is not G2. G1 is just tmobile nonsense and means nothing. Dream is dream, magic is magic, and hero is hero.

I think it might actually. I thought the 'G' referred to the Google branding, or a device which qualifies for the Google logo on it. Therefore the 'G1' was the first phone to have the Google logo on it. 'G2' was the Magic, which also has the Google logo on it. I think that is the logic behind it.

You are wrong. "G1" is just a carrier-assigned (tmobile) trick to make dumb people think that the carrier is somehow the manufacturer.
There is no doubt that the device is actually "htc dream" and NOTHING MORE: http://www.htc.com/www/product/dream/overview.html
very nice!!!!!

Yea that makes sense. Maybe makes their corporate image look better too (to dumb people ofc ).
I'm assuming that thing comes out in the fall to coincide with Leno's new show. That can be the only explanation for a chin that big.

"with Google" on the back doesn't necessarily equate to "Google Experience" phone.
Google Experience phones: "G1", "myTouch3G", "Nexus One"

I agree it could definetly handle it
Some "Google experiece" phones are said to be be recieving an update with the sense UI from the google stock look
Thanks for the info guys!

No with Google logo?

Why doesn't the vibrant have that?
It has all the google apps?
Because Samsung doesn't feel they have to continually throw Google's name around to get hype.
The phone sells itself.
although that is true, the galaxy s outside of the states has the "powered by Google" or something similar to it. the reason we don't have it on our phones in the states is because they are big on advertising the galaxy s series of phones, and they have a galaxy q series coming out at the end of the year or beginning of next year. they want the galaxy name to be synonymous with great quality
I think the first version had it to get people interested and now they can sell it in the US based on the international versions success.
It's simple: It's not a "Google Experience" phone, like the MT3G or G1 was. It's a "Galaxy S" phone, with TouchWiz3.
Do HTC Sense-based phones have "with Google" or "Google Experience" on them anywhere?

Yes. They do.
Some of the motoblur phones do as well.
The whole "google experience" nonsense was pulled out of a bloggers ass for page views.
Oh well
Btw if I have like 400 apps, will there be enough pages?

... pages?
Whatever you call the iphone like scrolling through apps
This question really confuses me... Obviously there will be enough "pages" for however many apps you have? Do you expect to download apps and have no way to access them?

Well it is not an iphone. So don't worry about how many pages an iphone has, because it is not an iphone. Do you understand that I want you to know it is not an iphone? Because it is annoying when people think all smartphones are iphones and an android phone is not an iphone and never will be an iphone and I am glad my vibrant is not an iphone and is instead an android based smart phone because I do not want an iphone and it is not an iphone.
By the way. The Samsung Vibrant is not an iphone.
Wait, wait, wait... the Vibrant's an iPhone?

With htc sense??

I just received a replacement phone from a warranty issue, and upon inspecting the phone, I see "with htc sense" and I lol'd. I was just wondering if anyone else saw this on their phone
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah, mine says that as well. It doesn't really have much point, except to advertise that the phone has Sense and to distinguish it from the other versions of the Desire Z (not sure about the Vision, but the G2 doesn't have Sense on it).
Mine also says "with Google" on the battery cover, just in case I wasn't sure who made Android I guess....

Yeah G2's say "with google" and DZ's say "with HTC sense"... really only helpful to distinguish between the two but who really cares about sense on the back of their phone?

"Vision" is just the codename for the phone. All models of the Desire Z and G2 are "Vision" (e.g. the word is in the filenames for RUUs for both phones).
May it doesn't matter, just thought that it was an interesting mistake

Wait, so you're telling me you started off with (what I assume to be) a T-Mobile G2 and they gave you a HTC Sense-less "Desire Z" in return?
Does the front of your device say "HTC" or "T-Mobile" on it? Does the battery door have a "G2" engraved or is it blank? Maybe you could take a couple pictures? I'm really curious about this.

I don't think it does, as he/she mentioned it being "an interesting mistake", implying it's a Sense-less device. Guess we'll have to wait for a reply.
I'm extremely curious about this peculiarity, as I am trying to remove all non-HTC branding from the device in an attempt to transform my "T-Mobile G2"-branded Vision into a more HTC-esque Desire Z. Except without Sense... simply because I don't like it.
I'd like to get a screen that says "HTC" and not "T-Mobile". I already ordered the appropriate battery cover.

Yeah, this thread is pretty fail, since the OP didn't mention what version of the Vision they had.

Is this an android phone?

Link to picture: http://www.cellphonesmarket.com/new...n-Sprint-for-79.99-with-a-2-year-contract.jpg
The Motorola i886. Its a nextel direct connect phone that i saw while looking at sprints phone shop online. However, i noticed it looks exactly like android, and when i looked at the guide, it has a notifications key, 3 homescreens, widgets, etc. Just curious, cause they never mention android when talking about the phone.

Yes. It runs android 1.5 but without a touchscreen, it's so heavily modded it's barely recognizable as Android.

Yeah, that's why I came here. I thought it was, but then I thought "Well maybe, moto took their experience with android and created a cheap look alike for it", so then I wasn't sure. Lol that's a weird look for android though. I'd rather have the i1 if I was using nextel.

Actually no, there wasn't even an implied update, that was why I had to convince my friend (in construction) to get the hell away from Nextel's awful selection.
