Evo haters out and about

Just wanted to say that since xda added iPhone (lol) to its list of phones there sure has been an outbreak of trolls!
I just wonder why ppl are complaining about a phone they hate but continue to use. We all know battery life sucks (things are looking up ) and yea it lags sometimes but seriously I am baffled by all the hating. I for one love my phone and have had my problems with it but with development changing all the time there is always a dev willing to fix your problem.
I only wanted to share my love for the Evo so ppl can share there love also... lmao...

1) Battery life doesn't suck, if you tweak the phone. Which, logically, doesn't mean that it sucks if you don't.
2) My Evo seems to be doing everything above 40fps. Can't really say that it's lagging.

This was total sarcasm (from me) from what trolls have been saying... like I said I love my Evo don't have any problems with it.. I am currently getting 16+ hours which is why I said things are looking up...I also don't have any lag issue but o have had random lag before but this supposed to be a mini computer so of course its not gonna be perfect everyday/sec

You got me

I also think it has to do with the lack of moderating on these forums.
Clear and obvious trolls [I can name two names right now but won't] should be banned.
But here they aren't.
Pretty much you have to spam the report button to get any kind of response from the moderating crew.
And then you run the risk of your own ban for "bothering" them.

It's pretty simple. I own a EVO because I wanted a Android phone to take advantage of Google Voice which I use as a business line. It's a good phone, but as good as the EVO is, it isn't perfect. I personally don't start threads criticizing the EVO (because it simply doesn't make sense to here) but if the discussion comes up and people start responding about how the EVO is crystal clear perfect, I speak up. If you were expecting a forum where EVO users just high five'n themselves in ignorant bliss well then just ignore posts like that.
I personally don't see a problem with criticism if it's done tastefully (i.e. with specifics and not general blanketing statements like "OMGZ the EVO/iPhone sucks!"). And it goes both ways anyway - you can't go to any Android site and read about other phones without some (and funny enough EVO users are by freaking far biggest culprits) idiots yelling "SO WHAT!! MY PHONE IS THE BEST!!!" You've got the same people here.
Bottom line this is a General forum about the EVO, and anything about should go. Trolls are trolls and generally say idiotic things that should just be ignored; but don't be surprised when vocal people like me to speak up when a complete EVO fanboy goes into fantasy land.

So why did you start this thread? You really believe that an owner of a product should be prohibited from criticizing it? It's either you love it all the way or you are a troll? What kind of reasoning is that?

almost all the evo users i know love the phone. it's also praised very highly online. as a matter a fact many of the users and devs at precentral just bought evo's to replace their palm pre's.
as far as the iphone, it's a great phone but hardly what id call a smartphone. im willing to bet $$ though that alot of users will be switching to one once the cdma version hits though.

No true multitasking, being locked out of installing anything not found in apple's market (without jail breaking), these two alone make it seem pretty dumbphone-ish to me.

I just wanted to know why nobody uses the sprint galaxy tab source at all for froyo roms. possibly kernel migh be very similar to the epic 4g kernel outside of the screen and keyboard. It is basically a giant galaxy s.

You are leaving out the fact that the tab is 3g only. There are too many factors that differ between the epic and the tab.

Yes... But then you are going to have the other "10%" *****ing that 4g was left out. You'd be piecing something together for the sake of well... Not too sure what exactly you'd be piecing it together for. There are already a hell of a lotta existing roms out from fantastic Devs that do everything that the rom is capable of doing sans overclock, battery life and a few extras without leaving out a primary function of the phone Just cuz it's not currently available to everyone doesn't mean that it's not a function that can be removed for the fun of it. IMO we'd be taking a huge step backward.

Not being able to overclock and undervolt to me is a huge step backward. Truthfully, for me, (cause I have 4g in my area) I'm torn between the two. The ONLY reason I don't just go back to 2.1 is because of the hardcoded gps accuracy.

I call BS on this statement. I'm in NYC, the most difficult market in the US for good data speeds due to network congestion, and 4G is consistently, at minimum, 10x the speed of 3G. Not to mention latencly is usually 90% less.

Maybe not for you. For me it's 4 - 7mbps down and 1.5 up. My 3g is in the neighborhood of 300 Kbps down and up. Huge difference.

I have poor 4g coverage at home but when I'm about 10-15 miles west of here I pick up strong 4g from Philadelphia. It blazing compared to 3g.. especially upstream speeds. I had pics uploading to Facebook in the blink of an eye.

When I have 4G, I usually get 6-9mbps down. I even got 4G deep inside a school building yesterday with my Epic. It was very cool. Didn't have 3G at all, but the WiMAX signal was strong and I got 8mbps down on a speed test.
4G is for real.

With everyone talking about the data speeds, can someone please explain this...

I don't know a lot about all this datta speed talk. So I ran the speedtest app and this is what I got: Download=3210kps and Upload 317kps
Is this good or bad...it's not on wifi either

the download is good, however the upload speed is capped. My nexus one on ATT had similar download speeds as you point out but my upload speeds were typically 1200 - 1500 kbps (quite a bit higher than your example). Also, IIRC, the ping time was significantly lower on my nexus one than my Atrix.

A lot of people are complaining about slow upoad speeds; what you're seeing there.
ATT is somewhat throttling the upload a d as a result,the whole internet browsing experience slows down a little.

With Eclair maybe? 802.11n was enabled in Froyo. Up until the update, my wi-fi access point was was configured for n only and my stock unrooted Evo connected at 65 Mbps. It can still see the AP when it is set to n only but not connect. I had to enable mixed b/g/n and now it will connect on g only at 54 Mbps. My signal is weaker and browsing is slower.
Maybe without the Evo having two antennas it didn't meet official n specifications but it was still faster before the update. I'm on wi-fi 98% of the time and there is no 4G in my area and if it uses a little more battery, I would have liked it to have been my decision to make.
Now, I'm not sure my GPS is funky, my Ulysses Gizmo's compass isn't compatible or what but I can't stand in one place and turn in a circle and see my compass dial make it all the way around. Google Sky couldn't get its act together for me last night either.

My main reason for pre-ordering an SIII to replace my Note was the support for dual channel HSPA; I'm on O2 UK, and use my phone predominantly in central London, so the possibility of support for 42Mbps throughput is appealing - and I would never have agreed a 2 year contract without this 'future-proofing' feature.
I'm not sure whether the change of specification is due to marketing incompetence, production cost, quality control, firmware readiness or something more sinister, but none of these reflect well on Samsung. The fact that this has been quietly removed from the spec just a week before shipping is even worse.

Oh well

Did they ever officially claim they did?

There was a new article somewhere saying it did.

i dont remember reading any spec sheet with dc hspa

DC-HSPA Claims 42 throughout? Or Mbps? A device is only as capable as it can be, or worse. If the hardware is unchanged from what you had signed up for and it is truly incapable of DualCell ... you'd more upset to have it "with" it.
Flip side, a. Device hardware is unchanged, just "support" is removed.... Do some pushups! Is time for a workaround!
Flip b. Hardware change, we're boned for neutrino speed and have to settle for light. ..
Edit: i love that article for one reason, the person that wrote it is not on xda.
Buy the phone, internationally if you have to (we had to do it too, for a lot ), modify it appropriately...
Are we not just talking about dc-? Isn't that rel7 tech? I'm currently trying t... Oh nvm ... That's a pipedream. But I've tripled my WiMAX (you don't want it) speeds using things like "tricking" my phone into thinking i was using cdma and this "LteforCDMAmode" that was in ril.dump but i can't seem to replicate it or find info on it...
Have a little faith in the community, bro

T-Mobile U.S. uses DC-HSPA. Their refarming away from AWS so there's a chance their version of the SGS3 will have quad-band support. If so, that could be an alternative.

that is true we will find out when we get it

To be honest i dont really care. The chances of the networks actually delivering anything like that much in real throughput is zero. They struggle to deliver even 1Mbps most of the time for more than a minute without the connection crapping out.

It's not very easy editing text on a phone on the pooper when a coworker is banging on the door demanding to hurry up because they habe diarrhea.

Yep... I agree with this. It's all very well having the capability but o2's back end network is in no shape to deliver

i would suppose the 3.5G is a small step towards 4G really. And since 4G hasnt even begun in the UK, and it will take a while until you are in a position to use 4G in most areas of the country, then id say, we would have to get the next samsung phone in 2-3 years with it.
Besides, LTE tends to drain the batteries quite fast as well, and to me it would be more valuable in a tablet rather than a phone.
How much browsing can you do on a mobile(even 4.8inch screen) before you say: god i have a headache staring at this phone already!
