Good or bad idea?
I'm hoping the newer batches will be fixed since Sprint/HTC is taking so long to come up with a new stock.
The hardware issues like the screen peeling and stuff, will be covered by a silicone case that I'll have I believe.
And the software issues will be fixed soon hopefully.
What do you guys think?
just get it your going to love it, dont listen to all the naysayers some people just cant be pleased. the biggest thing that people are griping about is the fps lock, which unless your very anal about gaming and have to have everything be ridiculously smooth then i guess might bother you...it certainly has no effect whatsoever on my usage of my device or even the few games ive played on it....
to me watching something in 60fps just seems so fake, like its just TOO smooth, i was playing metro 2033 the other day and with all the settings at their max @1080p resolution i average about about 35 fps...i got to this one part (its like a on rails part where you carry this kid on your back) and the frame rate just jumps to like at least double what i was getting up to like 75fps and the game was just very disorienting...like i wanted the controls to react faster, the game was so smooth that it almost seemed like it lagged behind my controls... it was pretty strange...so anyway thats my whole thing, maybe its because im just used to playing games at 30fps... most games on consoles are 30fps and people dont caus a stink like they do here about them lol...
Oh yeah, sure. Don't listen to the naysayers who actually bought the damned phone.
Currently, the Evo is suffering from the 30fps cap and slow touch response. I recorded the following videos a while ago to demonstrate what I mean:
There is no such thing as being 'too smooth'. Look at devices like the iPhone and Galaxy S and say they're 'too smooth'. Just be aware that these issues do exist and may or may not be fixed by HTC in the near future.
Apart from that, however, I have absolutely no issues with the phone.

I see what you guys are talking about. The 30fps cap IS an issue for me since I'm a quality whore xD I live my menus to scroll smoothly and I like my games to be unchoppy, but I mean this phone is still the bomb lol. I'm going to order it as soon as I can find someone who has good credit. Being a student, I dont have credit, and so Sprint will not let me apply for a line T_T

Hah. Being a student, I sure hope you can afford the first bill, which is prorated .
But yes, this device is the best Android device currently on the market, and will continue to be one of the best for quite some time. Better yet, Sprint allows you to upgrade your phone a year into your contract with any plan $69.99 and above.

well, he is referring to it being pro-rated, meaning you will be billed for part of a cycle in addition to your regular billing cycle-- the part you use outside of it. not to mention activation fee, etc.. but I got out of mine.

ok I had no idea what pro-rated meant, so I researched. Is there any way to avoid these charges? like not use the phone for a few days or something?
No way to avoid the pro-rated charges unless you open the line on the first day of the month(billing cycle). And then you will have activation fee's, another 5 dollor charge to track your usage and that wont come off your bill until you pay every month on time for 18 months(appariently). Then you got taxes...... those all depend on your state and how they are billed, I got billed for city,county, and state sales tax... and even more money for activating a phone in my city and county... Basterds!
lol, the funny thing is. i dont have any credit, i have a saving account and have some carriers in the past. when i went to apply for sprint, i got declined for 2 lines. my girl ran her credit and got approved for 2 lines with 2 free blackberries,, she has one closed banking account and NO CREDIT WHAT SO EVER. i mean im not complaining,,, cough EVO.. but just had me buggin in radioshack lol
does everybody on Sprint have the same bill cycle (meaning same start/end day/date)?
it's weird cause i activated my 4 lines on June 10 and i was charged a prorated amount from June 10-12 and the full bill from June 13 and on; that's just nonsense and feels like they are just stealing that amount for no apparent reason when they could've easily just made the 1st month from the day of activation
I don't know how exactly the bill cycles work for sprint, I worked for At&t. But they started my bill cycle on the first, thats when my first bill is due..

T_T I was thinking I could just not call or text for the few days till the beginning of the billing cycle. and whaaaaat?! $5/mo just to check if I pay on time or not? that's horrible. makes me not want to get the Evo. If the phone bill is going to be expensive as hell just because of these retarded factors, I might as well buy an unlocked Evo, and use my at&t sim card in it.

You cant use any SIM cards with the Evo. It's a CDMA device, which means it doesn't have any support for those.

I don't have any credit either. I have multiple people sueing me, and a few overdue doctor bills on my credit. I have got declined for every credit card I have applied for.
And the $5 dollor charge has nothing to do with the evo, I think its something they put on all accounts, or well probably for people with horrible credit.
Really, with everything you getting on sprint, and its still a bit cheaper than any other company out there, for unlimited everything.
I wouldnt get one. I'm pretty disappointed with mine. At first it was neat, but now I'm kind of bored with it. There are 0 good games compared to what there was on the iphone. And the ones that are decent run like crap on the evo.

Yup, but he is quoting a source of his own.... anyone know how credible his source is?
I predict every new smart phone from Sprint will have 4G and its 10 dollar up-charge.
eh, im somewhat ok with that. if all their androids come with 4g and the 10 dollar charge, then im mad.
I hope it's not very heavy...
(bad pun)a Light Sabor, so to speak.(/bad pun)
I predict that every newer technology will be better than old technology and if you're always waiting for the new thing, you'll never get the new thing. Stop waving your e-penis. Buy the toys and tools you want. Yours isn't better than mine if I can do cooler things with it. Etc...
I have a Hero. I love it. I want an Evo. It'll be outdated soon. New stuff will come out and I'll want it. It will be outdated soon. Notice the pattern?

I doubt every new smart phone will - just because BlackBerry seems lazy.
Now in 2 years - yes every smartphone will...
BTW: How do you define smart phone? BB is not in my definition of smart...but it seems to be in everyone else's.
I'm glad I got new golf clubs for father's day instead of the Evo! I think I made the right choice. I am seeing something very nice like this in my Christmas stocking instead!
I can't stopping laughing.
This the phone I have waited for a long time.

agree.. i don't consider a BB a smart phone at all..
on a side note, why do people still cry over $10 extra for 4G??? so what if its not in your area right now.. chances are most people that don't have it in their area at the moment will travel to areas that do have the coverage, and sprint isn't gonna let u use it for free.. and besides.. it's only $10 a month.. try this, save yourself from eating a McDonalds value meal twice each month and you got your $10 covered. not really that big of a deal..

McDonals = $10 per trip for me....stupid mcflurries. I am a fat kid in a skinny kids body.
I never go to mcdonalds, and hardly ever go eat anywhere else for that matter.
Even if you travel somewhere with 4g, how long will most people be there to use it? Id rather them turn the 4g radio off and not pay the $10. I assume it would save battery power for those with no 4g in our area.

I'm not too sure about that. Mainly because every commercial i see for them is the
"We are sprint, we are truly unlimited" IMHO that's the only thing sprint has going for them, until the new iPhone comes out.
Sprint is still better than the alternatives though. Good customer service, awesome phones, etc. Everyone else has already done all this junk and gone to tiered plans so I'm happy that Sprint has kept their service as is for so long

Is there really anyone that uses unlimited hotspot? I can't honestly imagine someone just tethering their laptop, gaming device, ect with their phone ALL day. The only thing that bothers me with the premier loss is return policy.
It is bs. I signed up for unlimited. I should get unlimited. If I spend anymore I might as well just get internet in my house instead of phone. What is this power trip all the carrier's seem to be on? The power to giveth, the power to take away? The power to cancel my service is what they'll get. I don't understand why sprint would make a move for the iphone and sacrifice the biggest advantage that no other carrier provides. That in my mind would be the gold mine and I would squat on it. Unless they are all acting together to gain greater profit from the consumer because they are all not happy with the percentages, it makes no sense. It does make sense however that they would all drop like dominos to the power of apple. After all, they have as much money saved up as our entire government. Tell me that isn't f'd up. Tell me a company like that can't do whatever they want and manipulate the system. I'm sure if we new everything we would pull out our guns to stop it. Die for it. But, who will ever know. Our worst enemy will be loved like family due to secrets and manipulation as we all suffer unrecognized poverty and enslavement. But, we are many.... and the day will come.
so I log in to check my bill at sprint.com, wanted to browse as i am looking for another phone to play with.. LOl
it's been a year, got my deposit back! wahoot!
seeing a little credit in there is nice, I have to say form all the stories i have heard about sprint being on these boards for almost a year, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, the financing department is first class, had some billing issues with them and they were as pleasant as can be. I do feel their service can be better in their stores, as My trusty evo's charging port let go back in november, and i had some rough spots tryin to get sprint to help me, so i went to htc and they resolved my issue no problems, so in a nutshell i am a happy customer!
now, do i want a design4g, epic4g touch, or photon4g? LOL
Totally agree with you. I have had a very pleasant experience with Sprint as well. Had a couple small billing issues that were fixed very quickly and drop less calls now than with Verizon. I used Verizon for 9 years but the cost was getting out of control. So far over the last 20 months, I have saved $2256 by switching. Total win
Sprint is great for the price. Just wait til network vision rolls out and coverage increases.

I have been itching for the epic touch 4g....
Grats! I remember when I got my deposit back...was stoked to have 2 free months of service basically. As far as upgrading your phone I would hold off on that. I just recently purchased the EVO 4G because I really wasn't too impressed with the newer phones. Granted they are better than the EVO but just slightly which to me isn't worth either the upgrade credit or the extra cash. Wait for some more ICS phones and then upgrade....i'm betting Samsung and HTC will come out with something great.

right outside of bayfield wisconson hmmm hour east of superior beaaaautiful up here and no computer repair business so here i am
I agree, I have had a pleasurable experience with them, their service is excellent.
Brad, I would wait until MWC. I am having the same debate, I am going to wait for my 2 years to officially upgrade but if I get the chance to try a different handset I will. My wife needs a replacement EVO but I am kind of hoping they wont have one and we will have to get something else... we will see. But HTC is going to be launching something BIG this year!
I'm waiting it out too. Galaxy Nexus, sure it has LTE but it is last year's technology. I have very high hopes for MWC and shall be revealed there.
Out of Design, Photon, or Epic Touch?
Design has basically no development community. Smaller screen, and single core just doesn't cut it for me.
Photon has Motoblur and it is a worldphone, if you're into that kind of thing. It has a small but quality development community, jokersax has put out some good stuff for them. Unlocking the bootloader borks 4G. You can relock to fix 4G, and you can't relock with custom kernels.
Epic Touch used to have Loss of Signal, which was an absolute pain. It is pretty much gone now. Took a while to get AOSP on it, but they have accomplished. They have the strongest development community out of the three. I think it is BML but I'm not sure. If it is, hopefully they will be able to convert it to MTD sometime in the near future.
OR wait
i can never wait for my upgrade i have about 4 months til my contract is up ... sadly i maybe switching to the evil empire (at&t) :/
thanks guys! think im gonna wait, love my evo to death, and i just got a kindle fire so i got a new device to hold me over haha!

Have you considered calling them and letting them know that you have no service at your house. I was having the same problem as I live in a small town in southern california and they sent me a free airave. Granted its not the best solution in the world but it will provide you with coverage in your home as long as you have high speed internet.
I've had a few minor ups and down with Sprint as far as billing went, but next to nil issues with repairs or phone service. I wish it was my first year again. I've been with Sprint for close to a decade now.
As far as a new phone goes, I'm with one of the previous posters. There's yet to been a phone released that has made me want to make the switch. Especially due to many of the awesome ROMS that been developed for our phones in the past year or so. In some cases, it's literally like having a new phone every few months. lol

yes i have considered that but atm with google voice intergration i can still text fine over wifi so im content on waiting a little til i have more concrete plans and my internets its through phone company (it was through my cable in my previous town so i just hooked up a land line and/or use skype) thanks for the suggestion.
and my ex got the airave since it was tied to her plan damnit
I've been with Sprint since '99... And I've definitely had my ups and downs. Overall I'm very happy with my plan, unlimited, my Airave at no charge to boost signal at the house and my E4G that has a very mature development community... But I'm really hoping to see some quad core hotness released in the next few months...

Wow.. it's actually true.. I am going to get sad..
Unlike a forum for a certain car, like My old Mustang or M3, I know this will be a forever goodbye as I will never get another EVO..
I'm leaving..
After enough BS with Sprint, the promises of 4G, I'm done..
T-mobile, which is lightning fast for my area (down load speeds of 9-12 are not un common)
is having a sale this weekend.. Free phones.. any of them..
i'm getting the GSII
and pretty excited.
But I realized.. For over a year I've been modding and theming, roming, kerneling and radioing with you guys..
Now, its over..
It sucks because there is almost no development for the GSII on T-mobile..
I was gonna wait for the Nexus that Sprint said was going to come this month, now they say mid 2012..
Plus, ZERO LTE.. I don't trust them..
Either way.. I'm out..
thanks for all the help and to dev's you guys are awesome..
P.S. selling my EVO for 50 bucks..
Good luck and totally understand why you're doing this. What I find truly sad is that an awesome phone like the Evo sells for $50, yet an outdated POS like iPhone 3G still sells for $200+ on craigslist.

yeah its crazy what sprint's doing (nothing). I moved to a new town, a few towns over from where I was living, and last year it was great, the data speeds. A few months ago, garbage. Still, garbage. I've been with sprint for 12 years...and i'm considering moving to another carrier. I feel like gsm will be my next step. i'm so pissed that they're running this company into the ground. wimax was such a bad idea.. i'm just gonna smoke a bowl and try to forget that it takes 10 minutes for my phone to download a facebook update, and google music barely ever streams properly.. yo at least the call quality is still superb though.
Not ALL the TMobile phones are free. The G SII is 229.00, according to their website
Totally understand the need for speed. Here in eastern NC, we're never gonna get 4G of any kind, so I'll stick with Sprint, as their service in this area is second to none and their prices are outstanding.
Gikd luck with the move. If you still feel the need I'm willing to take that evo off your hands. I can help you out with that. Let me know so sorryy to see you go. pm me.

I've been with sprint for 12 years...and i'm considering moving to another carrier. I feel like gsm will be my next step. i'm so pissed that they're running this company into the ground. wimax was such a bad idea.. i'm just gonna smoke a bowl and try to forget that it takes 10 minutes for my phone to download a facebook update, and google music barely ever streams properly.. yo at least the call quality is still superb though.

Me too.. was with Sprint for 11 years..
I was suckered into the EVO.. Promised (by not only the sales guy but customer service too) that 4G would be in my area within month..
I was asked to pay 10 bucks more a month.... Call it what you want, it was for the 4G!!!
I was going to wait and get the Nexus as I was told its coming this month, I was even told LTE is going to be spread like a wild fire and by the end of 2012 it will be all over the united states..
Then go look at their site, they show a video of where LTE will be installed.. not even in my state..
I got this phone today.. Its sexy as hell.. My download speeds which I've done about 30 now, lol, vary from 22 down 5 up to the lowest of , 6 down 1.5 up..
It's unreal!!
Netflix,Slingplayer,HBO GO, everything is un real fast...

It's free today only.. Any phone in their store..
2 year contract, you do have to pay for it upfront, (figured that) and rebate it back..
Just like the damn EVO..
Either way.. this phone is sick!
Good luck with the switch, in your galaxy, far, far away.
pics of said evo's condition...please and thank you!
NetworkVision is going to make some huge improvements in 99% of places guys. Leaving sprint now is like leaving at the absolute worst of times and you'll miss out on the great times in the near future.
LTE will spread like wild fire and be complete by next years end.
Now if you have no problem going and paying more elsewhere and having data caps/throttling then more power to ya.
A site for some very solid sprint network info that I've run across is "s4grub.com" as there is a wealth of detailed information there, most of which you couldn't even get from sprint themselves.

Wow, I have 5 lines with Sprint and was looking to change over. Just will cost me a few hundred to get out of 3 of the lines. Good luck!!

Been hearing the same **** about "plain old" 4G for the last 3 years. Now miraculously Sprint is going to be "complete" with ANYTHING?
I won't hold my breath.
Or maybe I will at least until May when my Sprint contract is up....

Go to the site I linked and read up this is completely different than Wimax by far.
