Strangely enough I still see a ton of people use the Evo 4G more so than ever even after this phone has been around for over a year now and really not too many Photons, Evo 3D's, or Epic 4G Touches. What makes our phone one of the most ubitiquous?
It would be if it sold on more carriers i bet. It was a revolution when it came out so it sold alot and continued doing well afte a price drop. Sadly im guess it will fade out when peoples upgrades come around since the evo isnt even 2 years old yet.
When the evo came it was was THE powerhouse. Now, most of the phones that come out are just dual core 1.2GHz something. Take away the second core, and you have an Evo. The Evo can still most things as the newer phones, just 'technically' slower. So like some games/apps may not work because they were optimized for dual core performance. I mean you can tether, wifi, 3g/4g...everything else the newer phone are doing, with the NFC only on the nexus. That's why most people are holding out on the evo.
It's because of XDA that the EVO is still holding strong
I believe Evo has the strongest dev community of any phone, and certainly the most longevity. It deserves it - it's the 1st superphone.

That's a fact...go look at any other of the XDA forums for other phones...none have as much going on there as far as active members, devs and posts and threads still being made. We have at least 10 threads with over 1 million plus views and some with over 2 million, most others only have a couple with a few hundred thousand views. The Evo has one hell of a community, something I will for sure miss whenever I jump to another phone next year when my contract runs out.

Search Google for XDA and the evo forum is still on of the top returns BIG THANKS TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!! Developers and users and even the lurkers. Thank you and keep doing what you do! except the lurkers! you would be suprised that you might be able to help someone just be respectful and share you own experience with roms and apps etc
I still enjoy my evo and with the releases of ics I will be content for a while longer. Though there are stronger phones now, the evo 4g hold it own. The devs are amazing here.

I'm holding out for a while as well, still find plenty of use with my EVO.
Even when I upgrade, I don't know if I could sell it.
It holds a certain sentimental value now as my first smartphone and Android device
We'll all eventually move on but you NEVER forget your first....
Even with other "better" phones out I still think the evo is the best. And btw anyone else feel like if they kept the design the same and just suped up the specs of this phone (no gay ass 3d) and put in quad core 1gb of ram (the works) maybe slim it a little it would be the absolute best phone ever?

To me, I have compared my Rooted Evo to newer current phones and mines do the same thing. Still 8megpx camera, now with the newer twicks,panorama ect.
My 4G gives me steady 7 to 9mbps. I am running mix sense, and Gingerbread.
So. the way it is my phone is still good until August 2012 when my upgrade
Now also, with this app called " Jeannie" is just as good as the SIRI that the Iphone has. Now. we all know Iphone is not a match with a rooted EVO but that SIRI is cool. Jeannie is same if not better.
I have all apps that I need and still have over 160mp of free space of internal memory and over 4GB on the sd card. SO? what else I need?
IM sure, August 2012, the newer EVO then will be a Quad Core beast with camera of 10megapix and way much more...until then My EVO Rocks!!

Which is a better phone all around? I was thinking about getting a Nexus.
*PLEASE VOTE AND GIVE YOUR OPINION *
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
just phone wise definitely nexus S.
however it doesnt have a sd card slot and the screen is abit smaller.
also consider the carrier and if you would prefer that over sprint.
I would wait till they announce the Nexus S on Sprint and make sure the specs are the same. I would assume they are with the exception of adding a CDMA radio with wimax.
Definitely Nexus S.
Evo is nearly 2 generations old. (and RAPIDLY showing its' age)

I just got mine a couple months ago and I don't real think its showing it age. I have had all the Verizon big ones like the X and the Inc and I know that they are also not the newest phones but there is always something that will be a bit better and faster. The biggest thing that I like is that Sprint is truly unlimited. Im almost up to 9 gigs with 4 days left in my cycle. I need unlimited because I had to get rid of my home internet due to lack of work in my business right now. The Nexus S is a nice phone but really..no sd card?...and I had the Fascinate with verizon and I had to depend on devs for gps fixes and usable roms but I know the S is a google phone so it shouldn't indure the lack of Samsung updates. Its all of what you like and which service does well for you in your area also.
Oh lord not another one of these threads :rolls eyes: lol
If nexus s doesn't have an sdcard slot(hopefully it does) how is it even a competitor with other smart phones out there. I'd pick my evo all day because of the huge ass screen and its an HTC. Evo 3D sounds like a winner(based on rumors).

+1 Screen and HTC
16GB of internal storage is a lot. If you need more that's fine, but 16 GB should satisfy a ton of people.
Edit: Things better on the Nexus S.
GPU: PowerVR SGX 540 can compete with the Tegra 2, EVO's Adreno 200 barely beats the original 2009 Droid's PowerVR 530.
Cameras: Samsung makes good mobile cameras, HTC includes terrible ones.
Display: SAMOLED > Lousy TFT
Internal Storage: EVO has a microSD slot but has very limited internal storage. Nexus S is capped at 16GB but has way more internal storage for Apps and 16GB is not bad at all.
NFC: I'm sure this will come in handy, will it this year? Maybe not but it's good to have one.
Gyroscope: Better gaming, especially FPS'.
Software: This is tough but you can knock a Google supported phone. Come Ice Cream time, you'll be watching Nexus S users playing with a fully working, HW accelerated OS.
It's just a really tough decision for me bc I'm thinking about getting the Nexus and giving the Evo to my girl. Don't get me wrong I love my Evo, I'm just ready for something new!

Like i said..there will always be a better phone than what you have but sometimes the network and carrier matter also..If I go 10 miles away from my house with T-Mobile I go to Edge....not on Sprint. In the end it really doesnt matter to me what people decide on..I have to use whats best for me and so does everyone else. If price matters though I'm sure you have seen if your a Bestbuy rewards zone member you can get the S for $99 on a 2 year agreement with the coupon...not a bad deal.

If I can manage to keep myself from going to get that Nexus then I may just wait for the new EVO or Nexus 4G.

I read through some of the guides and its a lot of stuff that im not too sure I know how to do. It also says that you have to re do clockwork every time you want to flash a ROM...
If the Nexus S hits Sprint, you better believe I'll be selling my EVO to buy one.
1. The earlier you sell your EVO, the more you can get for it.
2. Nexus S will sell for a lot more than the EVO by the time HTC has a dual-core badboy on the market.
You see what I did there?
I'd say Evo, but that's because I've had nothing less than perfectness from my own Evo. However, the Evo 3D was announced/leaked, so I'd wait on that, because truthfully that sounds loads better than the OG Evo. But, anyways, the Nexus S is also (I'd imagine) going to be one of the phones at the top of the list for updates since, as the adds say, it is "pure Google." and they love to roll out updates, whereas the Evo is moving down the ranks with all the new phones announced at MWC and the like. Also the Evo is a beast of a phone, much larger than the Nexus S. It's really hard to define a clear cut answer, just do research and pick the phone that provides what YOU want from it.

Really? Its a Nexus phone... While I personally dont love the Samsung construction of mine, there is something to be said of Nexus.
Part of that is the hack-ability, fastboot oem unlock. Same as N1. Literally two adb commands to root a NexusS, and recovery works just fine. Although I gotta say I miss AmonRa when using my Nexus, I just cant get used to Clockwork...
Both phones rock. NS is far beyond Evo internal wise, but I like the feel and look of my Evo far more. Only knock I have against the Evo (since buying a seidio3500, and having it last 48hours+) is the QSD8650 and Adreno200. Been available since the Eee pc in 2009....Not exactly new tech, and holy poop does my NS do 3d games like a different class of phones compared to my Evo. But then I go to HDMI the ***** to the TV for some N64oid+wiimote and....o yeah...
Edit: Forgot to mention, I think I'm gonna craigslist my NS for something dual core, if that says anything.
^^^^ see that's what I don't understand is the adb commands. How do I open the command prompts?

At the moment, the evo 3d has a locked boot loader, I know that people are trying to change that though. The samsung has twice the memory for apps(2GB), and 32GB of internal storage. Look for a side by side comparisson, that is what got me to switch from the evo 3d to the gs2.
Gonna get both
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
I say the Within.
HTC said it will be unlocked ... and i just got an email from sprint advertising the E3D so its coming SOON !!! .... 24th to be exact its OFFICIAL!!!
but honestly they are both great phones either way you wont be disappointed the choice for me was easy this time Evo has and amazing community also its not Samsuck its HTC and HTC=OMGEWQTHGDSHTRSYGDF
Galaxy S II
- Better hardware
- Comes with 2.3
- No 3D (pro for me)
Both have manufactures crappy UI so not part of my opinion
I am wondering the same... I just got my epic a month ago but was already looking into getting the evo 3d... all this jibber jabber back and forth about the sgs2 and 3d has got me all confused now lol. So I don't know which one I will be getting. I've always loved htc though!
I got that same email this morning but thought it was just another one of those emails that just said coming soon. So the 24th is official huh?
EDIT: I just checked out that email and the evo 3d will definitely be mine. $199 with instant savings, no MIR, where do I preorder? I know these are going to sale out

But after buying the Epic coming from a Hero...
I've realized what i like in a phone now i thought i would like a keyboard... but i rarely use it.
I thought sprint would have put alot more into this phone ...because of the Specs but they honestly didn't IMO. So im going to the E3D .... Even though i will miss this community like crazy these people are mad cool.
but 1.5GHz Dual-core, 2.3, official CM support.... and it's HTC can't deny build quality.
I don't see sprint releasing anything else so this has to be it.
Question does the dual core in a cell phone work like a pc meaning a 1.5 ghz dual core when using both cores its actually a 3 ghz phone? Yeah?

I'm going for GSII. I don't trust htc unlocking the bootloader. Besides gsii has better specs anyways. I think with all the crap from htc more developers will get the GSII than most people think.

No. They share the workload, rather than a single core constantly being mated out.
HTC EVO 3D will have a lot more development for it (EVO 4G has like 20+ roms, whereas the Epic has about 8, in total).
I also tend to think HTC have better radios (signal wise).
I'll wait until the GS3 or whatever is out when my 2 year contact is up or my epic runs into something it can't run which I really want. If I had to pick between the two, I'd grab the GS2.

It's been rumored that they started doing this when the EVO 3D was announced.
I'm due for an upgrade from an Evo.
I have 2 choices, Nexus S 4G or Evo 3D.
I've had the Evo since the first day it came out and loved it since. So I'm kinda hesitant on wanting to give it up.. so I'm thinking Evo 3D might be a nice upgrade but I keep hearing Nexus is a better phone.
Which one would you choose, and why?
I'm a sense type of Guy so I would stick with HTC. I think the 3d is faster than the nexus too.

Going from an evo to a nexus really isn't an upgrade.......get the 3D (dual core).
Nexus is and lighter, and supposedly guaranteed to be up to date with OS releases, if that's important to you. Everything else I've read says that even the old Evo 4G is better.

The only thing the NS has over the EVO really is battery life. EVO 3d is the latest and greatest, NS is 2009/2010 tech under the hood, already outdated IMO.

Well, the user experience is what counts, of course. But wit the Nexus S you're giving up the HDMI out, you're giving up the kickstand, you're giving up 1/2" of screen realestate, you're giving up an SD card slot (and potentially 16 GB of additional storage) and I've heard the Nexus S isn't any faster.
I do like the form factor (size, shape and weight) though, to be honest and would probably have gone with the Nexus S instead of my Evo had it been available at Sprint when I signed my contract (I asked about it at the time but they coulnd't give me a firm release date).

The EVO 4g is not better than the nexus s. The only advantage it has is the screen size. Granted the only large gain you get with the nexus s is the GPU.

GPU being slightly better doesn't mean its a better phone overall. I play with both phones on the daily and its not a night and day difference......its still old technology either way.

Nexus S is made by Samsung.... mehh..

Slightly better? Its 4-5x as powerful and on par with today's dual cores. The Nexus S has okay hardware, slight but needed upgrade over the EVO because of the GPU. CPU wise it'll perform about the same as dual cores until Android and its apps gets proper support; by then there will be GPU acceleration and since the NS' GPU is reallly good, you won't notice a visual difference anyway.
That said, newer phones will be better on paper but the Nexus S is all about software. You can bet on the Nexus S having Ice Cream months before the 3D or SGS. I personally like my NS (was going to get the Sprint N1 over the EVO 4G before it was cancelled but have a ATT N1) and will jump immediately to the next Nexus. Will never own another non Nexus Android phone.

You expect that to be true with ICS? Anyway, get ready to watch the Nexus S and Nexus 3 running a stable build of ICS for 6 months before any non Nexus phone. If you thought CM 7 was buggy, get ready to see what GPU acceleration does to porting.

Where did I hear Nexus S2/S+ in July?
read this: http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-saying-sayonara-several-android-smartphones
my stomach dropped when i read it, ss i have just bought my evo in june.
Sounds about right to me. It's been just over a year. That is about the current life cycle of most smart phones.
No worries though, the DEV will continue for quite a while still.
I'm quite content on my Evo...there will always be community based DEV for the evo long after its phased out...Some of us cant afford to get new phones each contract period...I plan to keep mine as long as I can.
There are still people developing for the Hero, I'm not even a little bit worried about my Evo
Maybe HTC will give us an unlock in October as a farewell gift. I personally don't need it, but it would be a nice gift for those who got it pre-installed.
I, too, just bought mine in June. But I'm not even remotely worried. Even on stock, I'm loving this phone. I could definitely use the better battery life once root hits the 2.3, though.
Yah that's only because there'll be an iPhone in September.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I'm not really surprised they are phasing the phone out, it was only a matter of time before faster phones hit the market. That however does not mean the all dev work will stop on it over night. This phone is still the OG & I'm proud to rock it!
I have high hope for sprint I will be expecting them to improve there 3g and 4g coverage and the new phones.

Logical progression would dictate A5 dual core ARM9 cpu clocked at 1Ghz, GPU most likely SGX543 or 544, 1gb DDR2. It's not hard to see where it fits in the hardware specs. The only advantage I see Apple would have is OS and app optimizations out of the box as they control the hardware design.

Deck 1.2.1 and sz 2.2.1 cfs SBC is the best I have ever run. The Evo offers full HDMI, 4g, great wifi, amazing battery life, I just found out I can connect a wii remote and play my nesoid and mirror any game and play 2 players w my daughter on the big screen. From a capability standpoint I have given up. There is no other phone on the market that offers me these features. Sure. Dual core. I could care less. My old Evo still rocking 1700s quadrant (for those that care) and linpacks 40+. I don't have it maxed out all the time. Lol it just works.
I Only started this thread to tell the community thank you for making/helping my Evo stomp ass on every smart phone that has challenged it! You the community have never asked me for a donation. Never begged for money. And always help when I need information.
The Evo is tits+! Thanks!
Beautiful

And this, I believe, is why HTC doesn't want to unlock the bootloader. Look at how many people just on this forum have started looking at other phones after they got stuck being unrooted. HTC doesn't want you to love your EVO forever; just until the newer model comes out. The developer community for the Supersonic has been amazing, and breathed a whole new life into the phone long after people were supposed to be getting tired of it.

That's a good point. A friend of mine just got the 3D. He came from a Windows mobile phone. He has been going on and on about it but the stuff that he likes are things that I have had on my rooted EVO for a while. I think his excitement is Android based and not based on that particular phone. I have compared mine and just can find enough reason to switch before I see what the development looks like. My rooted EVO is only a small step behind the stock 3D, IMO.

You got it! +1 on this one!
No real replacement for Evo until next year. It's hard to perfect perfection.

upgrading to a newer android phone from the evo is just like upgrading from an iphone 3g to a 3gs, only slight differences.
Bad news... http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...oodbye-to-the-htc-evo-4g-and-samsung-epic-4g/

doesn't mean anything. just that sprint doesn't want it on its shelves anymore in order to sell their new devices.
I'm assuming HTC wants people to upgrade to either the 3D or the Kingdom when it releases as the Hero 4G under Sprint.
Rumor has it that the Kingdom will be a tad cheaper than the 3D. It's basically an Evo with a bigger screen and a worse camera but better hardware specs. It seems like it will be Sprint's new flagship model for some time and will probably be used to tempt all the people that are still happy with their Evo 4Gs out of hiding.
If the Evo 4+ makes it to sprint, that will be the one I am interested in...but only if I can have what I have now. I could only consider it a downgrade to go to a phone that can not do what my current phone does...really not interested if its faster...if it can't do all I have now damn the Evo is nice. I really can't think of another phone that after rooting can do. ALL the things I'm allowed to do due to the amazing development teams
I love my evo 4g
will only upgrade to a phone that's actually superior like 2.0ghz quadcore processer with 16 gig internal, 8 ram with like 1080 resolution screen 8 megapixel camera. 3 megapixel front camera and better gaming than nvidas kal-el chip
But as there aren't going to be any like that for a while I'll stick with what I've got

Love my evo.
Although it's a little ridiculous to say nothing matches it. Lots of phones do now.... My g2x does everything my evo does, except instead of snesoid on the big screen via hdmi and a wii mote, I'm rocking n64oid at a solid 60fps. Evo can do it all, but adreno-200 is just not capable enough for my wants anymore.

I agree. This whole HTC locking boot loaders is so people will go out and buy their next best device. Crap I tell ya.... Worst part is, when you do buy Another device, they'll just lock it later down the road... IDK.. that sounds kinda crazy eh? LOL
Anyways the EVO is an awesome device and glad I got it.

I don't go for the conspiracy theory that THEY DO NOT WANT YOU TO LIKE YOUR PHONE. This is nonsense. The more you like it the more HTC phones you will buy, and the more you will recommend it to friends. The locking seems to be due to carrier pressure, because the carrier pays for the tech support calls when people screw them up when rooting, overclocking, etc. You call HTC with a screwed up phone and they will tell you to call Sprint ;-)
Just yesterday, the Evo3D root came out, and the instructions led many hundreds of people to have to call tech support to get the phone connected to the network again! This is no joke, I was one of those who called. One of the rooters asked the Sprint rep, and he said he had personally gotten close to 70 calls just yesterday with the same "Error 16" issue due to the new root procedure!
Beyond, that, I agree, EVO 4G rules. I got a 3D, and I do not like it as much as the OG.

I have never owned a g2x. I merely made this post because I feel it is the best well rounded phone for all my needs. HDMI mirroring really makes this shine. The wiimote app only gets used occasionally but still very sweet and it works just like I have a damn old school nes haha. It just fits me and HTC locking bootloaders lol. They will eventually get unlocked. Not a big deal. Then we will all forget about the 3 weeks spent with a horribly locked 3d/sensation lmao.
