Ahhhh! - EVO 4G General

So I finally went I get a replacement evo cause I broke mine and they said they dont have any evo's so I'm getting an evo 3d!! The only bad thing is I'm leaving the evo forum I've been here since launch day and it's been a nice ride guys!

Are they making you get another 2year contract or just giving it to u?

Fairly certain they are giving it to him, as it'd be a 'equivalent' exchange [almost].

Welcome to no development. Evo 3D dev section is nothing but Sense and bugs. Only 2 aosp roms, cm7 and miui.

Charger port broke on my Evo earlier at work today, & I just filed a claim online, & Asurion are currently replacing OG Evos with 3D's, will have mines tomorrow

If this is the case I have full insurance I wouldn't mind breaking it but not sure I do love it and can't burn money hoping not to get flamed

So are you guys getting the 3d from sprint stores or insurance? TEP?

Mines is from insurance since Sprint stores won't replace Evos with broken charger ports
OG Evo Synergized

I wonder if Best Buy will do the same. I think that they'll just give a refurbished. What do you guys think?
Sent from my PC36100

My charging port has been loose & I've been putting off taking it in. I just might have to now. I didn't think that the 3D was worth the upgrade, but it's worth the replacement.
Worst case scenario is that I get another Evo, and that's all I need anyway.
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!

Jeez, I'd hate it if my Evo broke, but if they're giving up 3D's so soon after they came out as an even trade... day-um!

Wow, sounds like a pretty kick ass deal. I was considering doing an insurance claim cause my power/unlock button kind of stopped working but it works now, kinda. Has a mind of its own, works sometimes and does work other times... I was wondering how they would be doing replacements since they stopped making the OG Evo. I also felt that the 3D was not worth the upgrade at all, but hell I would gladly take one to replace my old Evo. Only thing I would miss is the dev community and the stupid amount of choices we have as far as roms and mods lol. I think it is safe to say that no other android phone has a bigger dev community than the OG Evo.

My charging ports also been broken for a couple months I just haven't bothered to fix it. I have an external charger

That's exactly what I thought. I wasn't gonna use an upgrade on it but a trades totally worth it

I love my EVO too, but I wouldn't be that unhappy if I had to upgrade. I do enjoy being able to change ROMs whenever and to whatever I want basically, but I've tried AOSP, I've tried MIUI, and I keep coming back to Sense, so I'd probably just go to Eternity ROM on 3D and be done with it. I would still miss my EVO though.

Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app
I bought it the day after launch then got the Evo 3d on launch day. Now I just bought a used one off ebay for my mom to replace her Hero(my old phone before the 4g) It's been a blast playing around with one again. My 3D is better in almost every respect theres 2 things that bother me though. First is the new aspect ratio on the screen, the second is the great roms. We don't even have a rc for cm7 yet and our ics is nowhere near the 4g.
You'll be getting the real deal with ICS, so who cares how far along progress on something thats gonna get replaced is?
I wouldnt build ICS for the 3VO if its just gonna be replaced by an OTA. Wait for it to drop and customize from there.
The EVO 4g on the other hand, has a lot of development going on simply because its the only way we are going to get it.
sure is amazing the development that goes on for this phone. most other phones get left in the dust way sooner.

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 ....

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.

Whose buying the Evo 3D?

Since we pretty much know the Evo 3D is a reality, who is planning on getting the device?
Not until I get my specs together.
EDIT: Heard Atrix is coming to Sprint (most likely a no buy from me, because of locked bootloader), Nexus S (promising), and Evo 3D (perhaps sprint's first dual-core phone?)
IF it comes out i will have one

This is what I will be doing as well. I have my Gold Premiere Status and will get the EVO 3D and just give my EVO to my daughter who is 10. She already has a Samsung Moment and keeps complaining it's too slow.

I'll most likely be selling both my Epic and Evo to get the phone out of contract. Hopefully it will come close to making it where I dont need to spend any cash.

Developers please answer

I just want to know what new phone our developers will be getting. I really like all the work these guys do and I'm trying to decide what my next phone will be so developers please post what new phone you all will be getting. Im really leaning towards the galaxy SII. Thanks

This is good to know. SRF is the only ROM I've ran since I rooted this bad boy and even though I've thought a few times about trying others, I've then thought, "why when this works so well?"
Anyway, I'm up for a new phone (bought the Epic from guy on craigslist since I couldn't stand the BB I had any longer) but thinking about letting wifey use it so she too can rid herself of the blackberry.
Knowing the devs plans certainly makes that an easier decision. With k0 going to continue development, and the very real possibilty of CM7, I think the Epic should last me quite some time.
@k0ane
Still no phone? For real? Where on earth did u take or send it to get fixed?!?! Lol
Anyway I think I might consider any nexus phone that is out when my contract is up in a year otherwise I still love my epic
The development and updates of it seem awesome!!! And im fine with the speed of ny epic and would mainly want a nexus for updates and the rom galore

[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.

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.

Wow, so I'm not the only one that didn't fall for the 3-D crap.
