Just wanted to see what people's thoughts are about moving off of the original EVO and going with the 3D. Is it going to be worth the extra $$? Is there going to be good development for the 3D? Etc? Let me know, I love my EVO but the EVO 3D rocks some specs.
Honestly, the ONLY reason I want to upgrade is for the faster/better specs, NOT the 3D. Honestly, I wish it didn't have 3D but I won't turn down something for free. My thought, no 3D = thinner/lighter but eh. HTC had to get on-board the gimmicky train at some point so...
I had a thread like this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015387
I'm going to keep my evo, use the upgrade to get a 3D and sell it for cash. Then wait for a moorestown powered phone.
Yeah I think it smart to hold onto EVO 4G, wait for the official Gingerbread update with newer Sense update. Then after the EVO 3D has been out a little while and a root finally made, the ROM's will be out shortly after.
I just think our current EVO's with the Gingerbread update and ROM's built off that update will be amazing, that will hold me over till the EVO 3D is rooted and ROM'd.
But for sure the EVO 3D will be a beast with a good Sense based ROM like Myn's. Imagine that ROM on the EVO-2, with dual cores, 1gb memory, 4gb storage, and running on Android 2.3 Will be warp speed fast, and buttery smooth.
Its all about the Nexus 3 now I am praying it comes to sprint.

1+ gotta see if that bootloader is locked. If so I will keep my Evo. I heard the sensation on mobile is locked down so don't be surprised if the Evo 3some is too.

How does no 3D = thinner/lighter?
There's no negative to having 3D capability, you don't have to use it.
I'm holding off for a bit. Pretty happy with my Evo and have no desire for 3D anything. Phone should be a beast though, and provided Sprint doesn't have something comparable coming out in the near future, I may end up getting up on it. If anything I'd jump on the Nexus, but I'm in no rush to jump.

Gotta see what the situation with the bootloader is.
If it is unlocked, wait a little bit, let the devs work and get out some ROMs, get the 3D. Gotta love them specs!
...but hold onto my EVO too for the heck of it
Yeah, you honestly don't buy new products [especially technology] in the first few weeks of its release.
Perfect example: Palm Pre
Hopefully the bootloader won't be locked as well.
Seeing as how I'm not eligible for an upgrade until Aug 12, I'm going to be sticking with the Evo for a while.

True.
We shouldn't buy new Android phones, until root.
As much as I want to be a day 1 EVO 3D user, I'm not playing the early adopter game unless its rooted, pre release.
I'm doubting there is going to be a locked bootloader coming our way, Sprint & T-Mobile are the least likely of the Big 4 to request one.

Well it's more than just confirming the ability to have full root.
If you wait a few weeks after release you really get to see the issues that exist [if any] for that phone.
I am not about trusting based on past performance or name.
The Palm Treo lineup has some phones that STILL UNTIL THIS DAY function just fine.
Yet the Pre was garbage.
Allowing others to beta test is smart
I for one will definitely be upgrading to the evo 3d, but because my current Evo is still going strong, which I've had since the day before officially released, i love best buy , im going to hold off till root is achieved and a wealth of roms are out and first generation evo 3d bugs get ironed out too. My 2 cents.
Uplinked through my mind
I'll definitely be getting the 3D. Not for the 3D but for the dual core processor and the 1gb of ram. Its a better looking, faster more powerful Evo. Why wouldn't you want to get it? Im sure HTC wont lock the Bootloader seeing as how none of their other devices are locked. Plus ill be able to take high res pics of my finace's you know what...lol j/k..... nah i was fa real http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

By the time it comes to sprint HTC will be announcing the third gen evo... we wont even get the sgs2 til late 3rd/early 4th quarter.
As far as buying devices day one, I've had my evo since day one and its been solid. In addition, with sprint's 30 guarantee you can't lose.
Tapa tapa tapa
I'm going to wait and see what kind of development and support it ends up with after a while. The amount of dev's making ROMS here is phenomenal and I'd hate to end up with a phone that we couldn't do much else with.
Look at the video on youtube about evo 3D. Its going to be sick. I'm gonna pay extra for it.

I've had the opposite experience, my launch EVO suffers from the backlight bleeding alongside the buttons and 'ghost' touches on the screen.
I was so excited for the original EVO though, I'm still glad I got it on launch day.
It's still such a solid device though that I'll probably wait at least a month or two after the 3D comes out to get it.
Because sprint might use LTE and WiMAX? If this happens by the end of the, the next Evo that supports both will far surpass the current product.
I already have high hopes for the next Evo.
LTE will start rolling out in Q4 of 2012. There were several reports about that date being solid because the Wimax contract with Clear will end Dec31 2012 and Sprint will be ready to make the switch. This is all based on contract dates and spectrum requests made through FCC by Sprint.
I just picked up the Evo on a new 2 year, but I am going to use the 30 day money back thing to switch up to the Motorola Photon 4G and ride that till the end of my contract. I'll still be in this forum though as my GF and son have the Evo 4G and I will be swapping them out to a better rom once the shipping 2.3.3 is rooted

That's not to far off, I actually just recently got my contract in April, if the date is set in stone, it aligns perfectly with my next upgrade that could utilize LTE.
Any specific reason for the switch to Photon 4G?
Nope...I'm holding out because I am not impressed at all with the evo 3d. Waiting for the galaxy s II

Remember dates are crazy and that is why they change so much.
And the photon has everything I want. but mainly the wiimote attachment and HDMI mirroring. All the HD games are also really nice.
With my old Vibrant the wiimote would not connect and kinda bummed me with all the games I could play VIA my TV. So the Photon fits what I have been wanting for a long time. Also the dock and productivity apps sound pretty nice as well.
Not gonna hold off for a standard that may or may not come in some undetermined amount of time.
I'm just not upgrading because:
A) I never buy technology when its first been released. I did that one time, Palm Pre. Never again.
B) Full NAND write has not been achieved. I love my AOSP.
C) Samsung's next generation looks promising and the Photon wouldn't be bad if they unlock them bootloaders.

same here. OS is good, but the hardware is just horrible.
I personally am holding out until it gets rooted with some good support behind it. 4G sucks in my area so it doesnt matter regardless.
Heres to hoping good things come to the EVO4G with the kernel release from HTC. I'm personally holding out to see if that support picks up on the 4G before leaving for the 3D. MikG is holding me out and enjoying the ride.

I was excited about it when i heard about the phone but once i played with it, i realized that it's not that big of a difference from the OG EVO . Everything it can do my OG can do it better with the right ROM and Tweaks outside the 3D of course so i'm sticking with me EVO until something wayyyyyy better comes along .

That hardware would have to step up to be a piece of crap, that's how bad it is.
To those saying the hardware isn't a great improvement would be wrong..its a great improvement ..even after stretching my og EVO to its limits it cannot compare to the 3d out of the box..you may say " what can the 3d do that the og cant" um I'm.not really sure but it just does said things better and smoother and faster..its very noticible with games etc... Those who are holding out due to root...well I understand that..when it is rooted it will be an incredible beast..as far as the photon ..I would rather take my og back..I.dislike MOTOblur ..
I am running my og evo4g with synergy Rom and it is awesome. They incorporated sense 3 into it and I love it. From what I can tell it has made my software basically the same as the 3d. I can't wait to see what the synergy team does with the EVO3d hardware. I'm not due for upgrade til 2012 oct anyway so I'm happy with my synergized EVO til then
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The 4G is a great phone ..I loved the experience I had with it and miss flashing a new ROM every fee weeks..the devs are fantastic and have kept that thing going strong ...I will always think of my og EVO fondly
Yeah I have both phones and my OG EVO is just fine with synergy. I don't really like the EVO 3d design. Screen seems smaller due to stretching height and taking away width. I also don't like the back cover at all. Seems badly designed. The software seems to be running st a low frame rate also. Doesn't seem like a big upgrade to me. I know Im going to be labeled a troll and tons of retarded pics will be coming but oh well. The 3d seems like a gimmick and its fun for all of an hour. High scores mean nothing to me so please save the quadrant argument. Coming from a older feature phone or even a hero would be an upgrade but from the EVO to 3d, it doesn't make much sense in my opinion. Before I get chewed, this is my opinion. Maybe it will change in the next couple weeks but right now its where I stand. Oh and I didn't have to start a new thread to say this. That's not a shot at the OP either. I just see all the hate on the 3s aide of this site and thought I would add a disclaimer to my statements.
I'll save my upgrade for something different. Sense is getting a little boring.
On day to.day tasks you won't see much of a difference..I mean how much faster can it get..the one thing I will say though is that I feel my 4G is stretched to its limits and that the hardware is getting old..the soc is more than twice as powerful and the.same.can be said of the gpu..I think that eventually the differences between the phones will become apparent . That being said the 3d does have some bugs to work out..one in particular that drives me crazy is when I'm typing...if.u.scroll or touch the screen in anyway it brings up like the edit cut and paste icon..it always happens ..also I can't seem the hit the space key without pressing the period button..those are minor gripes that I'm sure will be worked out
I'm sure the EVO3D will be a total beast once full root is accomplished, I don't doubt that at all, but as is, my fully rooted, custom rom, kernel, and tweaked EVO4G is as fast if not faster in some respects to the stock EVO3D.
Obviously the EVO3D is superior when it comes to gaming and watching flash content, but aside from that, my launcher transitions faster and much smoother than the EVO3D, my browser appears just as fast in general use, apps load just as fast, etc.
The EVO3D is a great phone, don't get me wrong, but until full root is accomplished it is being held back from realizing its true potential.
I read that temp-root has been accomplished though and some have even been able to overclock the processor to 1.8 GHz, which is pretty insane. I'm sure the phone is buttery smooth at those speeds.

Yup Same here... Before I left the 4G, I was on the MiKG 2.2 and that beast was flying which made me really wait a few before getting the EVO3D, but I know hardware wise this 3D will really be a beast once everything is all said and done.

i felt like an idiot after buying a 3VO.
the dev-ing is still in early stages (to me), the 3d isnt really that impressive ( reminds me of holograpic x-men cards), and im basically stuck using sense 3.0 (after being on 3.5) if i wanna use 3D.
i knew it was a faster phone, but with the excellent kernels & streamlined roms of the 4g, i dont really feel the power....lol
i recommend sticking with the OG till they bring out the quad core evo next year, by that time the 3d should have a great following.
Since im on boost & only paid $100 for the 3VO i really shouldnt complain, but unless you can get one "dirt" cheap, dont switch
With the OG EVO hitting 2 years next summer everyone will get the latest phone so expect it to get a lot of support.

Thanks J_apa_n for the feedback. I added the 3d and the Epic Touch forums to my XDA favorite folder so I can keep up with the progress. However, neither phone seems ready for prime time just yet. At worse, the 3d is just too similar to the EVO to lock in another contract. The Epic Touch seems like a world beater, but has some troubling issues....especially considering Samsung's track record. On the EVO, it seems that after a lull in action, development has blown back up. I'm just hoping the HTC Edge is released as the next EVO once they add a CDMA radio.

i'm still rocking the original evo and i'm glad i've stuck with it.
sadly, sprint coverage (voice and especially data) is horrendous in the place i now live and work - western and central pennsylvania - so i'm probably going to be switching over to verizon once i get a chance to play with the nexus and compare it to whatever g2s models are out.
but the ol' evo definitely has been good to me.
I dont even see how u can compare a evo to a evo3d. I guess when quadcore comes out everybody will be saying "its not much of a jump from the evo3d".

Ditto that!
I just grabbed a shinny new Free Evo 4G from Best Buy to keep as a back-up for my other Evo. I've tried a lot of ROMS but keep restoring old faithful, Myn's 2.2 with Net/SBC kernel. It absolutely rocks!! I tether 1.2 gigs/day (netflix junkie here) via Easytether.
I have no need to reinvent the wheel, have the "Latest & greatest," or keep up with the Joneses. My Evo is lightning-fast, silky-smooth and leaves the "Energizer Bunny" in the dust.
Hey guys,
Due to a recent disagreement with Verizon (I said they suck, they said they don't), I will be switching over to Sprint.
The problem I have now is trying to pick a phone. Everyone keeps telling me get the Epic 4g Touch but there is something about it I don't like. I am drawn to the Evo 4g because it already has a developer base and cm7 support. I'm not a poweruser, I just like my phone to be snappy when I'm running a couple of apps. Is this phone even worth considering, or do you guys think it's kind of at the end of its life cycle and I should check out a different device?
Thanks for any responses!
Honestly the evo runs fine for what you are looking for, but considering you are signing a new contract with sprint you might as well try for a newer phone. If you don't like it return it within the 14 days or if you keep it for more and decided you still don't like it you can most likely sell/trade it for cash and evo 4g. Just my opinion, but right now the evo 4g does everything I want so I have no complaints.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Here's the problem....the evo is a great phone but its over a year old. Signing up with sprint means you won't be available for an upgrade for two years. By that time this phone will be extremely old and no Bueno. Now if u buy one for cheap off eBay or Craigslist then cool do that and ull be able to get an upgraded phone whenever the quad core lte phones come out next year. If not then get the newest greatest phone out right now cause atleast it won't be as out dated as the evo will be when ur next upgrade rolls around. I've heard great things about the epic 4 g touch and evo 3d and photon. This is just my opinion. I love my evo just looking down the road u know

yea i was at the same crossroad...evo 4g or 3d? i chose the 4g because of the screen size...im a movie watcher and i have pretty large hands so i needed the biggest screen with the cheap cost...now im a good rom flasher and my phone stays charged for more than 48 hours....ive learned alot about the evo from this site...its like the devs here cherish the evo more than anything lol so my advice....evo all the way
The htc evo 4g WAS the best phone that sprint has. Until the samsung galaxy s II came out and another i cant remember the name of.. there also is the evo 3d which is newer and has a better looking ui.. SO basicly i would go with one of those. but the 3d with the camera is just a video trick..
I have an EVO 4G but I've played with the Samsung Galaxy SII and I'd recommend it going forward. The phone is super light, the screen size is a bit larger, which you may not like, but it's also dual core and really snappy.

Not to disagree with ya, so don't get me wrong. Hardware wise, as in processors, screen resolution and such, I absolutely agree with your statement.
However, as far as the best phone on Sprint, it's still the OG Evo. Here's why, (IMHO) 1) best dev support of any device offered by sprint. 2) the og's radios are superior to the e4gt, and the 3d. 3) no hboot 1.5 problems like the 3d, and no jigs or Odin, like the e4gt.
In my opinion, formed from reading the development forums of nearly every high end device available, aside from 1 or 2 phones offered by other carriers, the E4G is the most complete well rounded phone. Sure there are devices with way faster dual core processors, tons more ram and system memory, but they all seem to be flawed. Either weak radios, crappy GPS, wifi, or Bluetooth, and some just have cheap craftsmanship.
We lucked out my friends. I doubt we will see another phone as well rounded and game changing as the Evo. I think HTC realised that by making a phone that is too good, they cant keep selling as many phones. People got the evo and held on to it. Thus slowing down the new phone upgrade cycle. I imagine that factors in to why the Sammy GS2's in the U.S. fall short of the international version.
I'm sitting on two upgrades right now and will be, 'till we get lte and (fingers crossed) quad core.
Just my opinion, point out the phone we have available that doesn't have any shortcomings compared to the OG and I'll go get one tomorrow.

I would get a iphone 4s anf sell it to buy another phone. Apple fans will give u like $400+evo for a 4s. I would say you should get a evo 3d. From my personal experience its just better than the og evo in every way but price. U wouldnt go wrong with a epic touch is samsung is ur thing but sense UI is better for everyday users.
After 3 years, I think I am going to renew my contract with Sprint and get the HTC Evo 4G LTE. According to a pole here, it looks like 8 others of us are as well. Who's going? If you can but aren't, why aren't you?
I'm going.
I just flashed nfinitefx's Sprint RUU on my Hero to get reacquainted with Sense hahaha.
Happy for you guys. Im going to the GS3 just seems all around better, HTC has been dropping the ball lately and sense gets boring fast time to try something new. EVO LTE is ok but battery life and no removable battery, no sd card slot, and HTC just kills the phone for me.
I'm going as well. Hopefully they ship the preorders today.

The Evo LTE does have an sd card slot, and most of the (albeit early) reviews are reporting excellent battery life, in line with the other One X phones.
I was deciding between the GS3 and this phone.
I'm going to assume that the Sprint GS3 is gonna have the S4. If so, then the two things that the GS3 does better than the EVO LTE doesn't is the removable battery and a better camera.
The rest of the features of the S3 are gimmicky at most, smart stay is the only feature that I liked.
EVO LTE has better design, better screen, dedicated camera button (ME GUSTA), and a nicer UI.
But if Sprint gets the Quad-core version, then all bets are off D:
Interesting...first I considered the HTC EVO 3D, which many of us Hero's went to. Then I decided to wait for the HTC EVO 4G LTE, which I guess many of us are going to now too.
sorry to see you guys go, but hopefully if you still want to mess with your hero's from time to time there will be a group of us holdouts still working on things. i know ill be here until at least this coming fall when i get extra cash to buy a new phone.

How has HTC been dropping the ball? I have a friend with the Galaxy I (epic I think) and was super disappointed in Samsung support, and only relatively recently got cyanogen. Plus, I was planning on the galaxy nexus, but by the time it came to sprint, it was already old. Wouldn't be surprised if the S3 is the same. And obviously this hero has done well for me, and my friend's evo 3D is like a tank. Furthermore, I like HTC's gesture of allowing bootloader unlocking (not that I will use their's).
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA
Im not defending the Galaxy 1 but your talking two years ago the S2 has ICS. EVO3D was just an Evo with updated camera i know people who have a GS2 and EVO 3D and the GS2 beats EVO hands down. As far as support i have a lot of samsung products and never had a problem in that department. Support for my phone doesnt matter since im on here if i needed help with anything. Lets be honest most people getting the LTE are going to flash a new rom without sense anyway so why get a sense phone. Its nice and all but I like the less intrusive touchwiz. Just a matter of opinion if the S3 isnt quadcore then i might have to look at the EVO LTE
I'm seriously considering the new EVO LTE as well. My only concern is 1) Going back to Sense after loving aosp on my hero for the last 1.5 year and 2) the size of the phone.
I'm not sure there's any getting away from the phone size, though. The only other viable option in my mind is the GNex and its almost as big. As far as going back to Sense and not being able to flash ROMs right away, i'll just have to deal with that until some awesome dev on here figures out how to crack it. That's the main reason i'm still considering the GNex. The ROM options are already pretty sweet for that. But, it seems clearly inferior in most of its specs to the LTE.
I'm going. Will still pop in here every so often, though.

That's the main reason i'm still considering the GNex. The ROM options are already pretty sweet for that. But, it seems clearly inferior in most of its specs to the LTE.

I woulnd't worry about the EVO LTE having a lack of developers. Most of the OG Evo devs (including some that used to be here) are definitely getting it.
Hell, regaw already posted a ROM for the phone, and it's not even out yet lol

I'm seriously considering the new EVO LTE as well. My only concern is 1) Going back to Sense after loving aosp on my hero for the last 1.5 year

I've heard sense 4 isn't as bad or intrusive. Not sure though.

Supposedly it isn't quite as bad - and from what I've seen, the UI is closer to stock than older versions of Sense, in a good way. On the other hand, there are still downsides to it, like the overaggressive memkill settings HTC put in, which make it tough to do true multitasking, along with the large - smaller, but still large - memory requirements. I've always liked Sense, though, and the memkill settings are easily fixed once root is attained.
I'm getting the EVO LTE, as long as Customs doesn't find heroin or anything in the shipment to further delay it. The Hero has been great. It was first Android phone so it will always hold a special place in my heart. But I've been ready for a "superphone" since a week after I bought my Hero. The EVO LTE is going to have top notch dev's, mod's, rom's and support. There is no question in my mind that EVO LTE community will out shine the GS3 community.
Yeah, I was anticipating the HTC EVO 4G LTE and I found out about the U.S. Customs delay. I was like oh no..., but now I find out that I have to wait longer because we're under some Sprint Wireless Advantage Club and it's essentially an employee account and they get phones a lot later to make way for customers...so I have to wait like a month or two. It depends. I can't wait until I can get the phone though.
I wish you all luck with the Evo LTE. One thing I noticed about people that buy HTC phones is that they seem to want to root and put AOSP on there HTC phones to replace sense . People do the same with samsung but not as much as large as HTC phone owners. Its as if you guys know sense is a memory hog and is pointless yet you'll still buy the phone.
I also am leaving the Hero but for the Galaxy S3, also the hero was my first android experience. Honestly sense has been around since windows mobile 6.1, but back then it was called touch flow. Not too much has changed just eats more memory now and looks a lot nicer. The battery life on these HTC phones is bad to simply put it and im not talking about people on these forums. I used an HTC sensation it went from 100% to about 30 in 4 hours. All im stating is a matter of opinion I could be wrong but thes are just my experiences with HTC.

Sense 4.0 is beautiful. I much prefer it over AOSP ICS IMHO. Even Sense 3.6 is aesthetically appealing. Not much of a lag due to the 1GB RAM in this phone. My battery life is wonderful and I spend all sending hundreds of texts a day, checking xda and constantly checking facebook.

I agree with dastin. Sense has gone through a lot of changes but it gets better with each version. I've been running Sense 3.6(Mean ROM) too on my evo 3D and it runs great.
