i just got off the phone with Sprint.. I upgraded to the S from an EVO.. anyone on sprint with one? any issues? etc.. the camera on my evo SUCKED .. never was good..
anywho.. thanks!
ck
ummm... do some reading on here.
besides radio signal issues on some of the handsets (some users don't experience it), i like pretty much everything about the ns over the evo. the camera doesn't shoot 720 like the evo does, but somehow it looks a lot better.
oh yes, welcome!
I came from an EVO as well. Besides the known issues like signal I am loving things phone. EVO feels like a brick after using this.
cool.. well my camera sucks.. so.. anything would be an improvement..
Upgraded from the hero. No signal issues in my area. Its a greaaaat phone IMO
yeah, I too came from an Evo and having no issues... phones faster, better battery, better screen, lighter, less bloatware-y, etc... glad I upgraded
it's a great phone, it will be better once they resolve the signal issues that are plaguing most users.
I switched to the NS4G from the EVO 4G as well and not one regret here. Luckily I am not having the signal strength problem. The people on the EVO forum that think that just because the processor is the same speed as on the EVO that it is not an upgrade. I disagree. The hardware in the NS4G is much better than the EVO and this thing boots in mere seconds. GPU intensive gaming is amazing compared to the EVO, and seriously the only thing I miss about the EVO is the larger screen, but believe me the higher resolution on the NS4G and the super amoled screen make up for the size difference. It is slimmer, lighter, faster, better battery life and just an all around better phone. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Yeah I notice it. Its because it has a better sleep policy...I notice that it turns 4g to idle when not in use.
I just upgraded from a Samsung Moment which is one of the worst phones in the history of phones. I'm not used to having a GPS get a lock in under 5min and no data lock-ups randomly. Plus the battery life on the Moment is seriously the worst so even thought this phones doesn't have the best battery life, anything is an upgrade over the Moment. Only thing that sucks is the radios are not strong in the Nexus S and hope they fix it soon.

Yeah same resolution but is smaller screen so it looks better, and the amoled makes the evo look washed out.
Anyways I came from the evo, and I like it so far GPU is better and for some reason it feels faster then the evo, the hummingbird processor is better then the evo's processor, the camera takes better pics and even in the dark it works better then the evo even tho it doesn't have touch to focus, 720p wasn't a big deal I use my videos to sent by email and 720p were too big, I got a point to shoot the records 720p /60fps for that, no radio problems here, mmm what else? ?? Oh yeah the speaker in the back seems to be less loud then the evo but the speaker up front (the one you use to.make calls) is really good, 4G seems to kill battery faster but that's something that I would expect but it does kill battery slower then the evo (you won't notice unless you have measure time on both, GPS seems to lock 2-5 seconds while the evo lock GPS really quick, overall I'm happy with the NS4G and I can't wait to get Ice cream this fall/winter

I also upgraded from the Evo and I am very happy with the Nexus S. The whole phone feels snappier and smoother. I'm getting 65fps on fps2d compared to 50 with the evo. The first few days when I got it it kept irritating me because it couldn't keep a wifi signal very well, but then I remembered that by default wifi turns off when you turn the screen off, so changed to never turn off and now it always stays connected. This is def. an upgrade from the Evo.

compared to the evo you should get a day when actually using the phone. Not the look my phone got a three days when getting three sms and five minute phone call.
The dev support was amazing on the evo. But no one (well for me) could stop my evo from draining battery draining like a sieve

Who cares about a camera, HTC is notorious for having crappy camera anyways. I mean its a cell phone, if you're into taking high quality pictures get a Canon D SLR or some type of professional camera lol.
yeah i would upgrade most devs are heading to the evo 3d
Depends on whether you want to root and run custom roms. The Evo 4G has a huge already established dev community. The 3D's bootloader is still locked (if I'm not mistaken) so it might be a long while and an uphill battle before we see a fully rooted 3D and custom roms.
Having said that you should consider the 4G is a year old handset. The 3D's hardware is better in every respect.
Ya I know the camera isn't everything but it would ne nice to have a good camera. Is the evos camera better than the EVO 3d?? I guess I might return my EVO and get a 3d ha

I have the 3d, the battery life is much better. Everything seems better about the phone, including reception and etc.
The screen is a knockout, it is blazing fast, and the 3d is actually quite good (coming from someone who doesn't really care about 3d).

My guess is you will have to wait till it has been used for a few days by actual people to get a feel for what battery life will be. Also initial releases have always had "bad" life, updates fix it usually within a couple weeks(using thunderbolt as example). I'm sure if you left 3d off you will get much better battery and better performance, again just a guess since I dont have one....yet.

Are you crazy? Just get it. You have 30 days anyway to try it out and if you don't like it, return it. The 3D is a definite upgrade to the Evo. I love my Evo but definitely getting the Evo 3D tomorrow at 9am.
I own a very well modified EVO...I will not be getting rid of my phone anytime soon...that is unless someone wants to trade an EVO 3D for my EVO....lmao the 3D is an upgrade, haters gonna hate. Ballers gonna ball.

The pictures are sharper and more accurate. The camera seems to adjust well to the light levels. Overall, I am happy with it. I am no camera expect, but I do use the camera on my phones to take pictures of experiments and data in the lab. These pictures are then put on powerpoints for presentations. The evo3d is a better camera.

They must have not seen the actual phone (I played with it for about half hour).
1) The build quality is unbelievable. It is much prettier than the Evo. The camera button and the 2d/3d switch are actually very small in person, they don't stick out like a sore thumb in the pictures. The back of the phone is like an order of magnitude better than the old evo door. It feels and looks absolutely great. The buttons are very nice, but are elevated from the surface a little more than Evo's. The camera lenses/area also don't stick out like a sore thumb in the pictures - in person, the back looks absolutely fantastic. Evo3d feels a bit smaller/thinner and lighter than the Evo.
2) The device is very snappy much more so than Evo on launch or even now, but there were only a few extra apps installed compared to the factory setup. May have something to do with optimized sense for the Evo3d + 60fps native refresh rate + faster storage.
3) The 2d camera is very good. It takes a bit darker pictures than Evo's, but they are sharp and the color reproduction is excellent (unlike Evo, which often gives decent but incorrect color balance). The pictures basically looked like what you saw in real life on the display.
4) The battery life was so so . According to the graph, going from 90% to 10% in 22 hours and 1:50 hr of display on time, it seems to be on par with the Evo. Evo can do better, but of course, my Evo is optimized. Not sure how it will perform there. There were no flat areas in the graph where the phone was sleeping, so it will probably be better than the evo once the mobile always on and google talk are turned off.
5) The lcd is as good as Evo's but sharper. Kinda reminded me of the retina on iphone4. No pixelation, no overblown colors like samoled. About the same brightness as the Evo.
6) The 3d stuff is AMAZING. It took me about 30sec to figure out how to adjust my eyes for the 3d, and subsequently, I was able to adjust the eyes immediately (maybe less than 1 sec), when viewing new content. The effect itself was very convincing, and it was perfect, at least in sample photos and videos - there was no blurriness or parts of the image separating, it wasn't difficult or strenuous to keep 3d effect going - ah... perfect.
I had my doubts before, but now I'm sold. This is a true successor to the Evo.
The one thing holding back from the EVO 3D is the rooting issue so far. I know Sense 3.0 improves on the previous version, but I cannot stand Sense.
I'm aware you can also run LauncherPro and ADW or other launchers, but knowing it's still there kinda bugs me, lol.
I'm sure in a few months the phone will be unlocked and some AOSP roms will be available, but to the OP, if you like and use Sense on the EVO 4G, I'd definitely upgrade.
So I'm positive everyone see's this question all the time. But they always judge it on the stock phones. Well I'm looking to get one of these phones, but to ROOT them. Which one do you believe I should get and why? I'm also looking into battery life even though buying an extended battery isn't a problem. Also which rom do you think is best for your pick? Thanks in advance.

The epic pretty much is an all around better phone
An argument could be made on the SW side, but that falls by the wayside if you are not staying stock
Mainly, the EVO Shift is simply missing to many top level hardware items, that make it a upper mid range phone rather than the top tier the Epic is
I was faced with the same question when I bought not long ago.
Screen size favors Epic (4.0" - 3.6" That's a significant difference in Real Estate)
Screen brightness favors Epic (Samsungs Super AMOLED easily tops anything HTC has IMO)
Keyboard favors Epic (the larger size of the phone spaces the keys better, Epic has 5 rows including dedicated number row)
Processor favors the Epic (1.0 Ghz Hummingbird - 800 Mhz Snapdragon)
I believe rated battery stock time is 5.50 hrs for Epic to 6.00 for Shift.
Epic has front facing camera (which I never use, but some people do I'm sure)
The list goes on, but you can google other features.
As far as Flashing ROMs, I am NOT really tech savvy, but after reading through these forums I was not only able to root the phone quickly, but flashing was simple and I have found the ROMs I've used to be stable and functional with very few bugs. Can't beat that.
Epic, all the way.
Epic. Who ever choosed shift needs a swift kick in the wallnuts.

Even though i love my epic i would go with the shift because it has locked gps in a few seconds and capable of overclocking to 2.0Ghz and 1.6Ghz stable.
Its fun to use but i like epic 4g because of its screen. and Samsung is Easy to manipulate and easy to use like rooting and all that stuff.
But now its easy to get the Shift rooted in all.
I just like the bigger screen and AMOLED is deal breaker. i went with the shift at 1st because Samsung pissed me off as well as thousands more, with a certain phone.
Thanks everybody for your answers .. I'm leaning towards the Epic now.

Yeah .. I'm leaning more towards the Epic though just because of the screen and 5 row keyboard.. But the thing I heard is that the Epic phones screen black out all the time, and I'm not going to have insurance or be on Sprint (flashing) .. And the HTC build quality is superior to Samsung. So I'm stuck.. any more suggestions?
I figured I would post this here, even though I also placed it in the troll thread, as it was having the same discussion
I haven't heard of the Epic screens blacking out, but mine has held up beyond belief, even after facing harsh abuse.
IMO, it is a not a "power/speed" issue that makes the EVO Shift a lesser phone, but the overall lack of top end hardware features, and those CAN'T be modded in later
Here are several reviews with the conclusions, as well as links to the original reviews, and the Epic is not just a winner, but a CLEAR winner in every case.
From Techd
You don’t have to imagine how two Android smartphones would perform when pitted against one another, as the folks at WireFly have done the deed. Pitting HTC EVO Shift 4G against the Samsung Epic 4G, the latter wins out big time.
...
So, it seems like the EVO Shift 4G did admirably well for some basic processes, but stumbled badly when it comes to complex 3G graphics. But then again, it has a lower running processor than the Epic 4G with only 800MHz — though that’s not the end all be all performance measurement.

4G Phone Fight: Evo Shift Battles Epic 4G
Avatar for Brian Barrett Brian Barrett —4G Phone Fight: Evo Shift Battles Epic 4G Let's say you want a 4G phone, because 4 is one more G than your current phone has. If you're deciding between Sprint's finest—the HTC Evo Shift and the Samsung Epic 4G—you're gonna want to watch this.
Both phones are sliders, both are on the same network, and by outward appearances seem pretty much identical. But! The Epic 4G, it turns out, is packing way more horses under the hood. As it should, considering it costs almost twice as much as the Shift.

The Winner
Unlike other previous battles such as the HTC Thunderbolt vs. Motorola Droid Bionic battle, Samsung Epic 4Gthe HTC EVO Shift 4G vs. Samsung Epic 4G battle seems to have a pretty clear cut winner. The Samsung Epic 4G, even though it came out first, has huge advantages when it comes to display, and features while the HTC EVO Shift 4G manages to win a slight edge in design and software. Overall the advantages of the Samsung Epic 4G are too big to ignore and it easily comes out on top in this battle of 4G keyboard slider smartphones on Sprint.

heres the thing though Shift is running 2nd Gen Snap. And even @ 800Mhz it pulls double score than Epic @1Ghz both on froyo.
Then Shift on 2.3 just blows the sh*t outta the Epic.
Newer Technology is better.
Older Technology is Wiser.
But in the end its all down to personal preference.
Just mess with both phones see what you really like and want.

What do you mean goes black out? like the power saving feature? you can set the timer on that...

SmartBench 2010 and other various benchmarks but Quadrant does pull higher but thats not point. the point is its newer technology 45nm instead of 65nm.
So I used to have an Evo 4g. At my school I had PERFECT 4G signal, like all three bars. In the past summer, I broke my evo and had to get a shift. I feel as, now that I am in school, I am getting NOWHERE near as much signal strength, Its like a 90% drop.
Does the Evo 4g have a better 4g antenna than the HTC Shift?
Please let me know, because I am going to try to get an Evo today, but I don't want to spend the money if I won't see a speed difference.
*edit* same problem with phone signal (evo seems better)
The shift is the scaled down evo with a keyboard. Everything in it is smaller including the processor. So I am not surprised that it works worse then the EVO.
If you can I would see if you can replace it
tnerb123 is right the Shift is like an Evo4G jr. There's no comparison. I would spend the $ and get the Evo. Or spend the extra $ and get the 3D.
shift
my shift signals trength is fine (in vegas)
just as fast as an evo
or faster if you look at the quadrant scores
smaller screen
sometimes i wish i had gotten the evo only for the screen size

Adreno 205 in the shift I think. I agree, my old ass Evo with everything i have done to it over a year has made it still very competitive as a sweet smartphone, wouldst been nice to have that 205 or 225! But, the old 200 is still rocking along.
they're very comparable - the shift has an slower processor, but it's a newer generation of the same processor family, and in practice has just a good or better performance. the screen's smaller but it's got the same resolution and a QWERTY keyboard. I'd say it's a matter of personal preference as to the form factor. There should not be a significant difference in signal strength between the two (my wife's got a shift and I've got the OG EVO, and they're performance is close enough that I really don't know which one works better than the other).
Are you having signal strength issues where ever you go or primarily at your school? It could be a problem with that specific handset you've got, or a network issue in your area. I'd reccomend calling sprint for tech support.
Also, supposedly there is a sucessor to the EVO on the way:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2966&c=htc_evo_4g+_x515e_htc_rider
I've got no idea how much of this is true or if/when it will come out, but it looks promising for anyone who doesn't like the 3D display on the EVO 3d.

Its not just the gpu but also the CPU is better. At 800 MHz it is as fast as the evo's at 1ghz and it overclocks like a beast because it a 2nd Gen and is more power efficient.

Neither have been that great on the inspire. Im hoping that the atrix falls under the tradition of motorolas great reception. Has anyone ever had the opportunity to compare the two well?
I have no problem with the reception, and the battery life is definitely better than Inspire. If you don't mind the smaller (4" vs 4.3") screen, do the trade.

My atrix has better battery, better signal strength, better GPS, and if I remember correctly, more internal storage. I even like the screen on the atrix better. Just my two cents. Hope it helps.

Yes, it is.
O wai- this isn't the Inspire forum.
The Atrix is much better than the Inspire. Why? It's qHD, and you'll NEVER notice the Pentile. Same with the build quality. HTC has produced phones with build quality like the Atrix before. Namely the HTC Aria.
No, seriously, if you are trading, than the Atrix is smaller, lighter, and much faster. It has some issues playing back higher bitrate media the Inspire wouldn't, but that's just encoder stuff. Overall, I would choose the Atrix over the Inspire, 100 times out of 100. If this was the Sensation, or Titan (yeah, I know), then I'd be a lot more on the border, but this is Inspire vs Atrix.
Atrix all day!!!
Lol im trying to speed up the trade process guys. Hopefully it happens.
Atrix battery life is atleast 10 times better than the Inspires.

I own a inspire now and someone wants to trade me a atrix for it. Im not a big fan of motoblur but the has the better hardware. My biggest concern is battery life and reception. Neither have been that great on the inspire. Im hoping that the atrix falls under the tradition of motorolas great reception. Has anyone ever had the opportunity to compare the two well?

Inspire was my first Android phone. Terrible Battery life and poor reception - just like you said. Antenna design is worse than iPhone 4.
Traded in for Atrix and have not regretted it once. Reception is better plus 4G is more 4G-y. My Inspire would barely do 2mb/s and my Atrix averages 3-4mb/s. Battery life is no comparison. Inspire I had to give two bump charges a day. Atrix will go all day without a bump unless I plan on going bar hopping til 2 am. And I am a heavy user that syncs two exchange email accounts, two gmail accounts and google voice.
I have both and the Atrix beats it all day. The Inspire is a nice backup phone though

I'm hoping this is truth. I just did an insurance replacement for my Aria, and since it's discontinued, they're sending me an Atrix (best $50 ever spent?).
I used to have an Inspire, and sold it and bought an Atrix.
Basically: Atrix: Better battery life. Front camera. Inspire: Better/Bigger screen.
There is not perceptible speed deference on daily use.
I miss the size of the Inspire screen. But like the battery of the Atrix better.
In my house hold there is two atrix and one inspire, lets just say I'm glad I own one of those atrix lol...
But seriously, I'm always hearing my sister complain on her crappy battery life and horrible reception. Neither of which I have a problem with, plus its much faster especially if you get off that crappy motoblur stuff. Only downfall I see for the Atrix is the built quality and the camera, I give that round to the inspire. Other than that, can't see why you wouldn't go for it... hurry before they change their mind!
