Just joined Sprint and got the Epic...

So I just switched from T-Mobile to Sprint and regretfully settled with the Samsung Epic. I'm not sure what it is but the build quality definitely feels cheap to me. I came from a HTC G2 and this is my first Samsung phone and also my first phone with a AMOLED screen. I'm within the 30 day exchange window for Sprint and I'm having trouble deciding between the HTC EVO and the Nexus S. On one hand I really like the Sense UI and I've always liked HTC's build quality/craftsmanship on phones and that 4.3" screen is oh so nice and on the other hand I like the screen quality on the AMOLED screens and wouldn't mind being on Gingerbread asap. Decisions decisions!

Remind me again... what's the point of this thread?

Sorry, I guess I'm just looking for some input from members of the community on both phones to help me make a decision.

Epic vs Evo? This been covered over 1000 times.

Personally I have the epic and am going to switch to the nexus s but only because I work for sprint and get new phones all the time, also I lovemy epic and the keyboard but if you are going to root or rom your phone the touchwiz imbeddedin the epic is a pain in the ass and bogs the phone down, I want the nexus just to root and maybe rom but just to have only stock on the phone and customize it the way I want. If you aren't ging to do those things, stay with the epic or switch to the evo if you want the bigger scree and better camera.

I had an Evo for 30 days before the Epic. Coming from someone who used both phones, stay with the epic. The sexy display and keyboard on epic more than make up for that .3" blurry, washed-out inches of extra screen u get on the evo. Only reason I see for buying an evo at this stage of the game is that fugly kickstand. LOL.

If you come to love the keyboard, stay with the Epic. Otherwise go for the Nexus S. The Evo just isn't worth buying anymore.
What's the rush in getting updates? The Epic does fine without gingerbread at the moment. If you're willing to consider rooting and installing roms, try installing the Syndicate or Midnight roms from this forum. It makes your phone millions of times better.

I'm going to say Evo Shift 4g is regards to to closes build quality and resemblance to your G2 from T-Mobile.
I wouldn't waste time on a Evo unless you want a bigger screen. The Nexus S is a good choice if you can deal without a keyboard.

I'm confused because you slammed the Epic on its build quality but are considering a Nexus S 4G which is another version of the Galaxy S line. Also I must've fell into a coma or something because I thought the point was to make a phone lite and thin these days not thin and heavy. My daughter has the G2 and I love the keyboard on it and the near stock Android and it goes no further but that's just my opinion. Within my family we have one G2, one My Touch 4G, two EVO Shift's, one Evo 4G & one Epic. My girls are one T-Mobile & everyone else on Sprint. My youngest are on T-Mobile for a reason their young minds are drawn to those T-Mobile commercials that are aimed at a younger customer base. I've had dealing with all of these phones that are so called better than Samsungs and the truth is they're not. I'm not sayings that Samsung is so much better its just that they're nowhere near as bad as people try to make them out to be. Truth is they provide chips and other components for most of these other manufacturers. My advice is do whatever it is you feel you need to do just don't choose a phone by hopping on a bandwagon.

Try out each phone, see which one suites your needs/wants...

I really dont understand why people dont like the build quality on the epic. What exactly is so bad?? Gorilla glass, a solid sliding mechanism, a rubberized back... an awesome keyboard with enough real estate. Sliding door for the micro usb port, dedicated camera button... if your gonna get a different phone go for the nexus s. The evo and evo shift dont compare in speed and and the amoled is to die for. Dont be a little brat lol spoiled bastards.

Getting the evo is a waste right now.. I've always had htc phones up until my epic and I'm more than impressed. At first it feel light and cheap.. but don't let the weight fool you. This phone is very we'll built. I've dropped mine a few time and it barely has any scratches. Plus once you look at the samoled screen vs anything else you will see what the hype is about
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic 3g

Two things I love about the epic I'm not looking forward to in the nexus are no video player even included on the s and the ability to record video in 720p. Use your camcorder and change the settings to 720p before you decide to leave the Epic

You forgot to mention that you can remove the sd card while the phone is on. This beats the EVO and the Nexus for 2 completely different reasons.

I have tried pretty much everything out there and I think the Epic is the way to go if you want a keyboard. If you don't then its new cousin without a screen should be nice.
I am going to wait until the release a galaxy 2 with keyboard. I might even jump ship for that if I had to. I bet that Sprint will have something like that right around when all of our contracts hit a year. For those of you that have to wait 2 years, sorry. I have been with Sprint for 13 years.

I know it never come true for now but If Samsung can bump the resolution of it Super AMOLED Plus to mathch HTC Sensation -> There would be no other choice beside SGS2 ).

If I got a phone from another manufacturer I wouldn't see it being anybody but HTC, though I always keep my eyes open for what's best. (No blind loyalty here!)
That said, everything I've seen about the SGS II makes it fairly clear it's set the bar on a whole new level... so barring some amazing discoveries I'll be going the SGS II route.
'course I just got my Vibrant yesterday but I've got a fairly voracious appetite as far as my toys go.

im actually suprised to see so many vibrant owners comtemplating samsung again. Yes, I am too. But I am definitely Very Cautions with our GPS problems, crappy software, and of course the Froyo debacle....
I am considering anything as it comes. At this point, seems the Sensation and GS2 seem to be the 2 worth waiting for. just really cautions with the GS2 given the Vibrant problems

My only concern with htc is battery life. If its not horrible, the sensation is a buy. I know the tbolt and evo had issues.

Nope, can't beat these screens and since 90% of all the new phones are all screen it only makes sense to go with the best looking and best responding ones.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

I agree with htc is near garbage. Every phone is damn near the same. Ive just purchased an sgs2 from uk. Ive had the hd2, hd7, DHD, Inspire and played with evo and a couple verizon version. Build quality is great except the lcd plasitc they use. I guess im spoiled by the gorilla glass after breaking and repairing a couple hd2s.
I guess I became a music addict over the last year and htc music quality is horrible. HD7 audio was the worst. HD2 was probably the best htc phone when it comes to audio.

I buy and sell alot of phones via Craigslist and eBay. I've had my Vibrant since October and this is honestly the longest I have kept a phone in the past 3-4 years. I absolutely love the phone.
I had the using (2) MY4Gs, and HD2, HD7, myTouch slide, (2) G2's, Cliq2's, (2) Blackberry Torches, Bold 9700 and 9780 etc etc etc. the list goes on. So far, the Vibrant has by far been been my favorite phone and I have had a great experience.
HTC, IMO is shaky in terms of build quality. No doubt, I felt the HD2/HD7 felt more substantial in the hand than the Vibrant. But you can't defend the fact that the HD2 is plagued with failure rates. At least once a week, I see broken ones pop up on CL. I also loved the 4.3" screens.
I felt the MY4G was sub-par compared to my vibrant, even though I felt it was still an excellent phone.
I will most likely get the GalaxyS2 a couple months after it comes out

right now the sgs2 is the only phone i'd switch from my vibrant for. i'm not really brand loyal, but i think samsung is quickly learning that their sgs users expect os updates and you can't beat their hardware. plus samsung seems to be pretty dev friendly considering odin, how easy the sgs was to root, and how quickly they have been releasing their source.

Evo3d or galaxy s2

I like both phone, both has crazy specs, I have the evo now and love it. What I love about the evo is that there is so many roms to choose from. My main concern is which phone is easier to develop for and do you think Samsung development community would be as big as HTC development community. Not to mention that I love the cm roms and there roms is still in experimental stage for Samsung. I really answering my own question for the evo3d but that screen on the galaxy s2 is calling me.

I sold my EVO and bought an Epic back in December... big mistake for someone that likes to dev and tweak his phone. The Epic hardware is awesome, but the dev support is very lacking. Yeah, I could overclock my Epic and score 2400+ on Quadrant and it took great HD Video compared to the EVO. The screen was also beautiful. I traded the Epic for an EVO because I missed being able to dev. If you're the type of person that always wants to be on the cutting edge with the newest version of Android, then stay with what the DEVs are using (probably EVO3D). If you're someone that runs the same ROM for months at a time (i.e. not a flashaholic) then the Samsung S II may be best for you. It depends on what you're looking for and what you're looking to do with your phone.

Yup Evo 3D, even tho it might have lock bootloader like the thunderbolt, it will have more support from developers, and good ones too, virus is coming alone and myns wants too, I believe mik is coming and of course others

I wonder how long it will take them to crack the bootloader if it is indeed locked. I hope not too long. But its what ever. After running Virus' Kindom Port, ill be fine with stock un-rooted for a lil while

My only concern is developing for the EVO 3D as they have some new files that are going to be or may be difficult to work on. Only time will tell. I'm going to the EVO 3D because I love Sense and I can tell you right now the galaxy wont have that.

My favorite roms are myns for sense and cm7 for latest android roms. So I guess ill stay with HTC

I checked out both phones at Google IO. The galaxy S2 was so thin and the screen was amazing. Both phones were super snappy.
The only turnoffs for me on the galaxy s2 was the plasticky cover and the weight. Anyone who's owned a Samsung phone knows what i'm talking about with the plasticky feeling phones. But the weight of the S2 blew me away. I can't remember a lighter smartphone. It felt like a toy. It was basically "too light." I'm sure for many, that phrase doesn't even make sense, but for me, I like phones that feel solid and have some substance to them. For some, when they throw this phone in their pocket, they won't even know its there.
I have to hand it to Samsung though. The S2 is an impressive engineering accomplishment. Its the highest performance phone I've seen announced, and its so damn thin and light.

I'm personally a fan of sense, or at least having the option of sense, and I doubt that would ever fully translate to a Samsung product no matter what developers are working on it.
I really love the slab form of the GSII, if they release a HTC slab phone (like the Sensation) on Sprint, that would really be the phone I'd want. Evo 2?

HTC has better radios and gps, Samsung sucks!

the s2 does seem intriguing...also i hate that instead of hdmi out, the use usb and then give you a converter cable w/ an additional power source on it. plus, for some unknown reason, it seems we could be waiting a while before it actually hits the market in the states for some reason eventhough it is already in europe (gsm version). also, i hopped on to the evo 3d thread a while ago and the dev's were introducing themselves...there were LOADS of great dev's coming on board. With the specs and dev's on board, the 3d will have some spectacular features!

I am intrigued by the GS2 and the new version of Touchwiz... I HATE HATE HATE touchwiz, but the new version looks ok so far.
One thing that will keep me from considering the GS2 is if it has a physical keyboard. I don't know why Sprint has to be the one that gets that...

I'm going with the EVO 3D. The specs look awesome.

Neither, its all about the Nexus 3

HTC Evo 4G vs Nexus S 4G---Speed test

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXRsR6EAONs&feature=player_embedded
smh...smh..smh

Doesn't the actual speedtest app have flawed results anyway? There was another speed test that people used, but I can't think of it. But if the results are real, I'm not surprised. The Epic has slower results than the Evo as well.

Doesn't surprise me. I just swapped out my NS4G for a white Evo. The Evo is performing much better for me. If they come up with a fix shortly I'll probably switch back or hope the Evo 3D comes out by June 10th to be within my 30 days at BB. I just switched to Sprint and would rather not start out a contract with almost a yr old device. I will say that the Evo is still a very competitive phone after a year which says a ton about what a kick ass device it is.

I ran that app along another Android phone, an iPad, iPhone 4 and a laptop getting wifi speeds.

The radios in the Galaxy S series actually work lawlz. The hardware and the software for the radio in the Moment were so terrible, that it would lock up and you would have to restart the damn thing to get service again. This was a common issue with the Moment, and Samsung's "fix" for this was to tell people to upgrade to the Intercept! A more slim line device with the same chipset, but smaller resolution screen and a slower 3g radio. Big reason the radio locked up, is because the Moment was literally the Galaxy Spica with a cdma radio inside of it, and a keyboard.

Funny, I noticed this when I went to the Sprint store and ran a random comparison speed test to my Evo, side by side. My Evo pulled around 7mb while the Nexus only about 3.

Wasn't the GPS radio effed in the Galaxy?

Im returning my Nexus S for this exact reason, I am also preordering the Evo 3D, I came to find out that it can display 16m colors much as the nexus can.

Ha! Sounds like we are in almost the same situation. I ended up getting rid of my NS (after five of them) on T-Mobile and switched to Sprint with the Evo. I was hesitant to start a contract on such an "old" phone, but I have to say that Evo is the best phone I've owned to date and I'm in no hurry to upgrade. After suffering through several miserable launch day phone experiences in the last year, I am very happy to be on version 4 hardware combined with a ridiculous amount of development I've barely started to get into. Running CM7+LP+GO Dialer/Contacts = perfect for me.

No one is really trying to defend them here...
But Samsung phones are pretty nice phones, good hardware and build too. They're nice, when they actually work. Thankfully, the SII seems to be the phone that Samsung is not only stepping up on software support like they did with the Galaxy S release(But not Samsung US), but hardware support as well. The Infuse radio works as intended to work(Though not an SII device), and the SII didn't have any real hardware issues like gps like the S did.

I honestly don't understand this. Have you owned a Samsung device within the last year or are you referring to posts you've seen in forums and online. I feel like Samsung takes way more of a beating then they deserve. In past times their phones might not have been the greatest, but it is my honest opinion that within the last year and a half they are beginning to make a complete turn around and build a well earned reputation. Currently they are producing and putting out a plethora of well specced and software updated devices that are capable of competing among the best in the game. Look at the screen tech they are developing. Word on the street is they have a prototype of a mobile screen with a higher ppi then apples retina display. Have you seen the retina display? Im no apple fan boy but its gorgeous, I have to take a magnifying glass to it to identify a pixel. The point is, it is time we let go of our ancient views of samsung and give them another chance, theyve made a come back into the game and very deservedly so.

What do you think about the New EVO 4G LTE?

People seem critical about it, but I think its pretty nice. I only hope they come out with a white version after a while. But the specs are cool. Which apart from the heftier battery and SD card slot, its basically the same as the One X. So personally, I'm planning on getting one.

Why do you assume we'll have to wait that long? Evo 4G was rooted before it even launched, I was flashing new ROMs 2 months later (based on my post history).
I agree that Beats is lame, though. I see students wearing their Beats headphones and telling me how epic they are, I have them listen to my 8-year-old Sony DJ cans (which aren't even that amazing to begin with, compared to the Sennheiser set I had before them) and they totally outperform. Plus, they cost less than half what the Beats label costs these kids (or, realistically, their parents).
I think the Evo One is a great phone, it was obviously announced yesterday because yesterday was the day launch-day Evo 4G buyers were eligible for full upgrade. But that's fine with me, I've been looking for anything that could make me feel as good about upgrading as the Evo did in 2010. Wasn't too stoked about the SGS3 or the Galaxy Nexus, I was hoping HTC would bring something big to the table. They've been faltering as of late, hopefully this will represent a comeback.

Now that's the phone that may keep me around with Sprint after my current contract expires. I just hope that they would have the LTE network in my area soon. WiMax??? I got to use it only twice when I visited Chicago ever since I got the EVO.

1.2mp front cam. i'll pass. what a let down. what a joke. pathetic phone.
not worth the $200 upgrade.
notsrs.

Why do you assume we'll have to wait that long? Evo 4G was rooted before it even launched, I was flashing new ROMs 2 months later (based on my post history).
I agree that Beats is lame, though. I see students wearing their Beats headphones and telling me how epic they are, I have them listen to my 8-year-old Sony DJ cans (which aren't even that amazing to begin with, compared to the Sennheiser set I had before them) and they totally outperform. Plus, they cost less than half what the Beats label costs these kids (or, realistically, their parents).

I leap to presume as the EVO4g Design has been out for a long while and doesn't even have a listing on XDA Forums. And I have yet to hear of ROM support for it.

It looks like a promising device. I wish they'd have stuck with the ONE brand name, but that's just a minor quibble. Unless something else hits in the latter part of this year that strikes my interest, this might be my next device (coming from the OG EVO).

Personally I was bit disappointed yesterday, after hearing that sprint would be possibly getting a one-x. I was hoping that they would have kept the one-x the way it was with the two extras that they added. I guess I just wanted something fresh in the aesthetics department as well as specs but o well. I also think that if they had stayed with the look of the one-x that the possibility of more sales could have come from just the looks of a new phone. Customers that dont really care about internals are going to see this 4gLTE one might not be pleased.

Overall, it looks like a decent phone. I'm personally not happy with the sealed battery/case. So I will wait to see if the Samsung Galaxy 3S also has a sealed battery/case before making a decision which phone will replace my Evo OG. Of course, I won't look at either until there is broad LTE coverage in Atlanta. So probably 2014 at this rate.

Defiantly not buying it.

You can do it on an Evo 4G by simultaneously pressing the power, volume up and volume down buttons. So I would assume the new Evo would also have a way to do it. Worse case, you have to wait for your battery to drain.

I'm pretty excited about it! And fyi the front cam is 1.3 mp and its capable of 720p video. I'm not really big on the design, but the features look to be enough of an upgrade to my og evo to warrant paying $200 for the upgrade.
