Something funny - EVO 4G General

So I've been at work all day long and been xda all day long lol and I've learned a couple new things
#1 2.3.3 can't root as of yet (its ok I still love my phone thank rampage)
#2 2.2 can root (I'm late I know oh well sue me)
There's a lot more I learned bit don't feel like typing it all on my phone anywho thought I'd share a conversation with somebody off of CL today while I was trying to find another Evo to trade for (not trading or selling it anymore)
So I send a text saying
-is your Evo running 2.3.3 or 2.2?
He replys
-ohhh it has a 8 gig MicroSD card in it! It's wayyy bigger than both of those put together!
That was his exact text lol
I thought it was funny thought is share it lol

It's always great to deal with n00bs on cl. I was buying a pap a while back and asked the guy if it was 1001 or 2001 (model numbers) the message I get back is "its a 2008 model I think..." ^_^

thats funny, I had a conversation with someone on CL today aswell in my area.
2 weeks ago I put my EVO on CL for trade for an EVO running 2.2.2 instead of 2.3.3
no bites on it.. kinda figured as those who would be willing to trade are in the same boat as I am not being able to root. well today I get an email with this in it
"good luck with that!! those phones r crap< my wife is on her third phone since feb!"
I LOL'D and replied back with are you sure its the EVO and not your wife thats crap? I have had my evo for awhile now and the only problem i've encountered is not being able to ROOT because of the update

Trade for evo anyone??

I was looking for someone who wanted to trade there epic 4g for my evo 4g its brand new I just got it from sprint. Any one interested let me know.
If you just bought it, don't you have a 30 day return on it?
Plus, the "there", along with the runon sentence doesn't bode well for the seller/trader's credibility.
First: I just got it in the mail because I replaced my old one. Second: thanks for the language tip lol

Depending on where you are I would also consider it. Been something I've been thinking about doing.
Only issue would be I don't know how fair a trade would be...my epic was purchased about a week or so after launch. Its been in a case the whole time but...ya.
Is it a refurb? Or did they send you a brand new one?

I was just gonna say check on Craigslist. I started looking fairly late in the evening, and ended up trading my Epic for an Evo the next morning. Shouldn't be too hard.

Was it a straight up trade? Just curious how you all did it.
why would anyone want to trade an inferior device?
I just looked for an Evo on Craigslist, and found people looking for possible trades. Found a guy who was about 20 minutes away, and met him at my local Sprint store. We checked out each others phones and went into the store where they swapped the activation on them. He threw in $50 with the Evo also. Work out the deal beforehand based on the assumption that condition, age, etc. are all the same, and then go from there once you see the phone in hand. Once you meet the person, you can always walk away if something just doesn't feel right. I'm happy with the way my trade worked out. Just much easier and safer to do locally. That's why I went with Craigslist. Just keep in mind you CAN still get screwed locally, so check the phone thoroughly. The Evo I traded for had a blown speaker, but my local Sprint store replaced the speaker for $35, so I still came out ahead. At some point, you just have to trust the person, as you can't necessarily test EVERYTHING. Good luck, man.

Inferior? No. I'm happier with my Evo than I was with my Epic. Different phones entirely. Both are nice, but I just found my Epic too buggy, and had no need for a thicker phone with a keyboard. I'm not saying the Evo is better. Just better for me. I do miss the SAMOLED screen though.
I've been throwing around the idea of trading mine for a evo but I'm just worried ill miss the epic. I had a evo when it first came out then switched to epic and I can't make up my mind on which one I want. I don't use my keyboard ever so its kind of a waste.
Wow u been a senior member on this forum and lack of knowledge ..evo inferior they are both the same I ll say just the preference ....

The hardware stats say otherwise. No need to get nasty, they are both great phones.

Same here, I really dig the epic but really don't use the keyboard and just think the evo feels better in the hand. Right now the screen is keeping me with the epic but samsungs/sprints lack of software support and accesories for the phone are making me lean towards trading for an evo

Actually that is exactly my thought about the whole thing.

Notice a Trend?

I swear that everybody on here who has purchased a Shift got it for their "wife". What's going on here?
Got mine for my daughter, but ended up keeping it for myself and giving HER the evo. LOL
^ Sir, I like the way you think!
Got me the shift my girlfriend already has the evo lol this is my upgrade from the heroc

my wife has had an evo. i didnt want it cuz it was too big. coming from a moment i got the shift and i am more than happy with it.

I got one for my wife, but I then got one for myself also. Does that count for something?

Me thinks I should edit the OP to say "woman in my life" instead of "wife" in order to account for daughters, mothers, and girlfriends.
Haha most of the posts here are similar...
I got the EVO SHIFT bec. it felt pretty good in my hands, just like my good ol' HEROC. As for the EVO, I got it for my wife since her upgrade came first and she loves it!!!
I got one for both me and my wife
Haha gotta love it! Hour one for my wife and I'm probably getting one feb 1 with my upgrade...i have a hero also.

My situation exactly.
Ordered one for my wife, but haven't gotten it yet. Just used my upgrade for the Evo so no chance of getting one for myself for at least a year. And there is no way the wife would switch, she hates the size of the Evo.
My wife wants the Shift.
Before that she wanted the Moment (big mistake that I remind her of every time I use her phone! and every time it locks up, and every time it reboots on its own, and every time she wants to use GPS - she just HAD to have the slide out keyboard . . .) Hopefully full root and nand unlock will come to the Shift soon. Then she'll be getting one!

i got one for my girlfriend, and my wife

I upgraded from heroc after my screen died. However, my wife played with it for a day before bringing it to me at work and she'll be getting one next week.

How many people do you know with an Atrix?

Already 3 of my co workers and myself have this phone as well. We all love it.
Anyone else know a few people that have it?

Mine came from an iPhone 4, 3. nice to see them with a better device!
One other in my house, that's it.
I know 4 people at my work who have them.
We're all ready to return them.
The pathetic network upload speeds make the phone painful to use.
Corp email accounts are configured and it takes F O R E V E R to send an email with a large attachment.
Hopefully Motorola and/or AT&T throw us a bone on either a solid date when the service will be ready or at least fix the phones firmware to give us decent 3G speeds.
I'm really starting to miss my 3GS... heck I'd even take the buggy WP7 Focus back. At least we could manually enable Rev. 6 HSUPA in the firmware ourselves.
Nope; I'm the only one to see the phone.
I'm the only one I know other than all of you guys.

Unless you open by describing the specs of the phone I don't think you will have much luck impressing them. I have loaned mine to three different people for a day and every one has said "its a nice phone but......."
I found out from an att rep that att hasn't technically turned on the HSPA+ network. It's set to be turned on mid-late march
Which may put you beyond the return date? Hope it happens but....

i already did, 2 iphone users and 3 evo's are now mad lol, after i showed them how smooth it was compared to their rooted and jailbroken devices
Another person that I showed it too that has an evo was jealous, he loved how smooth/fast it was, and I showed him how good the battery life was.
He was debating changing it.
Really seems like it's hit or miss with peoples' experiences with it

[NEW HERE] Coming from Hero and Stopping to Say Hi

Hey all. I decided against going with the 3vo and went with the 4g (on the advice of a few sprint employee friends). I've had root on my hero since it was possible and finally just got tired of the phone itself. This phone is everything I knew it would be. SOME issues I've experienced but nothing all that bad. GV didn't work at all but it's working now and the voice option on the keyboard doesn't work. Oh well.
Anyways, I'm not at all a dev, but will be happy to give feedback on whatever rom (once root). For those who are working on root options...GOOD LUCK!!!
hello. nice to meet you
Welcome aboard. I would like to personally thank you for NOT starting a thread about how to root your phone.

c-had - You're welcome. I do my homework.
I am, HOWEVER, going through withdrawal lol. I was flashing my hero with a new rom daily there for a while. I'm bored haha.
Thanks popper..nice to meet you too
Welcome to the evo. Don't mind the trolls they seem to be in abundance these days. Might make me goto the 3d just for that reason.
As for the voice, I had that problem in a few roms. Idk what the problem was but after installing swiftkeyboard x its working fine on my current daily driver. I can't say it didn't work before becouse I didn't try it.
Salvage asop running like a champ.

I still have my hero...it's collecting dust lol
Wow, so I'm not the only one that didn't fall for the 3-D crap. I just came from the here as well and the 3-D was only an option when I heard about the ram and dual core processor, after I messed with it for a while I was over it lol. Welcome man, its a good step in the right direction. The only way I would even consider going with a 3-d phone is once the whole 3-D option either plays out or gets much better.

Who all here has bought the bigger battery for the phone? Its not that big of a deal for my to put it on the charger...but the battery life leaves you wanting. Is it worth the $60 from a sprint store? Or would amazon be a better route

opinions about what to do please help

hello everyone I just want everyones opinion about phones... i know since we all have/had epics we all want keyboards and more than likely are all about samsung but right now im in a predicament on my phone i have the ns4g right now but ive had so many problems with it and asurion told me ive had too many replacements the next thing to do is i need to buy a nexus s at a sprint store for full retail and they will send me a check for whatever i paid as soon as i fax them the receipt... but i asked the guy if there was any other phone i could get instead of the ns4g since ive had so many problems and he told me i could get the evo 3d... now im not a fan of htc but would you consider the evo3d a upgrade? somethings it does have better buy others not... then i went online to the sprint store and saw the evo3d and the ns4g have 549.99 price tag and the epic touch is 499.99 and i asked him if i could get the et4g and he said that would be a upgrade and they wont honor it... but i asked to talk to his manager and hopefully they let me get the epic touch... but i was just wondering if you had the choice of the ns4g or the evo 3d what would you get?... im waiting for his manager to call me back sorry for the long post to read lol
damn 60 ppl have read this and no1 has a opinion to share ?
If you can't get the touch stick with the ns4g. I don't think the evo3d is much of an upgrade....I've never used it probably never will but I feel like the ns4g is just the better option. Can't get those amoled colors on an evo ill tell you that much
By the way this should have gone in the ns4g forum...as it pertains to such.
