Upgrade is up today! - EVO 4G General

after 2 long years with my white EVO 4g, today my upgrade is available! what should I do?!?! Get the nexus RIGHT now, or wait until the evo 4g LTE???
The nexus is such a sexy phone and what really turns me on about it is that its not running sense!!! iv been running sense on my evo for like 2 years now and im kinda SICK OF IT! idk what i should do! =(

What would make me decided get the evo lte would be if htc would let you choose between ICS stock or ICS sense and btw you get 50$ in Google wallet with the galaxy nexus

Im sure we would be able to remove sense very soon on the evo lte.

yeah that is true. maybe ill just get the evo LTE and wait for a 100% full working pure ICS rom.

That's what I thought, too. ..but check the rezound and One X forums, the way HTC has been locking their sh1t down, and with all the proprietary HTC features, it's almost impossible to get a fully functional AOSP ROM working on the newer devices.
And to flash a ROM, you have to be tethered to a computer using fastboot commands.
I've been struggling with this myself the past week, and starting to lean toward the nexus, myself, despite the hardware of the Evo LTE is vastly superior. I prefer straight ICS for SW, though.
Good luck with your choice. I'd say, go browse the nexus forums and the One X forums to see the lay of the land.

i would love to get the nexus and i just might do it. the only things that make me want the evo is knowing that the hardware is better and the amazing camera functions of it.

This is why I didn't get the LTE evo

I ordered my galaxy nexus monday night, got free overnight shipping from sams club's website for $148.88, don't think they charge sales tax in any state, nor do they require membership.
Due to arrive sometime later today.

So get the new EVO and wait for a AOSP rom to go out that has sense removed.

Yup, in my apt there is zero coverage, out on the street I get a single bar, a few blocks away its full signal + 3G and probably HSPA+. And this is in the middle of the bay area

I am in the same boat. Almost two years with the OG Evo. Flashed the heck out of it
When it comes to a new phone I might wait for a windows phone. When I saw the reviews of the lumina 900 my eyes glittered. Moreover if that phone impressed Steve Wozniak It might be something.
just my 2 cents.

so i ruled out the nexus. simply becasue its 6 months old and the EVO hardware is better.
But now i have an issue....im thinking of switching to AT&t and getting the One X. Very sexy phone.

The only thing I don't like about Sprint, is that they aren't working on getting 10 inch tablets on 3G/4G. Why don't we have a 4G Xoom yet? That's really what I'm holding out for. An awesome 10 inch tablet!
Other than that Sprint rocks! Love my EVO even after a year.

Ah the future!
Not due for an upgrade till next year! But unless something INCREDIBLY awesome comes out between now and then I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick with my Evo 4g. The question is what will we have available when the time comes? I can't wait to see! With the Evo being my first and only android device I'm sure Sprint will have something good and mindblowing waiting for me!
I switched from AT$T and I haven't regretted it. Only thing is the coverage can be spotty... but gotta love unlimited data!

I've messed around with it quite a bit. Performance wise it is better, obviously, since it has a dual core processor.
I'm thinking about upgrading just for the speed. I could care less about the 3D feature. That's just an added bonus.
It's always nice having a family plan with two lines. I get an upgrade a year because my mom doesn't like touch screen phones and enjoys her rumor 2 or whatever I got her last time I was on ebay. So I just resign the contract every other year on each line and get a new phone at the contract price.

Haven't heard of an official release, but I was wondering if anyone has noticed in the Samsung App store that there is an app called Demo Mode for Galaxy S Plus? I'm wondering if this is an entirely different phone that was never brought to the states and had little hype or if this is a precursor to the actual existance of this phone.

New phone suggestions

Hey dudes. Well, getting the itch for something new. After having my Epic 4g for over a year (and the fact I'm a phone whore) thinking of switching from crapola Sprint to Verizon. Network has been crappy to say the least in the last months. I've tried a multitude of roms, themes, but can't seem to shake it. Be that as it may, anybody in the same boat?
Any suggestions on what to get? I've been seeing the Prime talk and all, but who knows how long that will be before it comes out. I was looking at the Bionic, being that I can't upgrade to the Epic Touch, and again the crappy Sprint network. Any other suggestions?

Debating On Buying Nexus S - Help!

Hey guys,
At the moment I have an Epic 4g Touch (AKA SGS II) possibly thinking about going to the Nexus S 4G. unfortunately right now the phones just not up to par for my expectations. I have poor voice and data everywhere I go (even with full bars). We are plauged with an issue called Loss Of Service where the radio just goes crazy and shuts it self off, and sometimes can only be fixed by restarting the phone. Ive missed alot of phone calls and texts because of this :\. We also are lacking in the rom development area, probably because of developers not wanting to deal with a device with such problems. Oh...and not to mention the sense of community is rather low there..trolls etc.
So as for my questions, they would be.
Hows the signal for you guys now?
Are you happy with the amount of development for the phone?
Does the 4 inch screen look small? or does it still feel large.
Tell me any pro's and con's that might not be apparent.
im already about 99% certain that ill be picking this phone up in a month or so until the E4GT straightens itself out (or gets ICS lol). Ive always wanted a phone that gets AOSP and this looks like a wonderful phone.
I appreciate any responses or feedback ^_^
Thanks,
HaiKaiDo

Its a great phone someone will trade you a Nexus s4g & around 200$ for your E4GT I like the phone but I'm going to keep my neXus s4g I'm either waiting on the galaxy s3 next year or if Sprint gets the galaxy Nexus I may take that even thou the s3 will kill it spec wise!

Thanks for the feedback . Good to know!
Nexus s is the best because all of the very gooddevelopers are here.
And i think it is the most crowded development here in xda..
So my wife currently has the samsung moment still and I'm gonna upgrade her before Christmas. I'm debating on the HTC Design 4g, or the Nexus S 4g from sprint.
They are both close in size and processing power, etc. I hear there are reception issues though on the nexus S 4g? Is this true? Regardless I would put CM7 on it anyways, but just wondering.
Struggling with a decision. I love HTC and it has a slightly stronger CPU than the Nexus S, but having a google phone is cool too.
Thoughts?
If she is smart buy a Nexus S
If she isn't so smart and she is not going to flash custom ROMs buy the HTC device
I suppose you are 18 years old if I read and decode your nickname. Are you sure you want to spend that a lot money in your girlfriend / wife? If I guessed your age right, I want you to think again before making that purchase.
From my experience women want to keep things simple. Ask yourself. Does she really want a new phone? Or is it you that wants to see her having a new phone.
Both are great phones.
Buy a nexus. Whether she roots or not its still one of the best devices on sprint. Plus ics is coming real soon.

If there was ever a LTE version for att of the NS, I could honestly say it would be the last phone I would ever need.
I would be happy with a HSPA+ for TMO or ATT
Hell I am hoping the LTE version will launch for Sprint too
If the GN comes I see it being the LTE flavor. Or maybe dual WIMAX and LTE?
I was thinking of the Epic Touch but seeing ICS on INT GS2 left a horrible taste in my mouth . Hopefully they will leave the stock launcher like they did for GB?

I've reached the conclusion that buying expressive electronics when they first come out is simply a bad consumer choice. How often do new electronics (especially phones) ship with some kind of defect? It takes at least a few months for all the bad batches to reach the suckers and the bug-free versions to hit shelves.

Nexus S is somewhat of a special case; most if, if not all, the bugs were worked out the year prior with the galaxy s line. And if you paid attention, which i did, the gs had plenty of problems til they released the the updated versions without bugs (gs4g and ns). On top of that, the ns4g had the ns out before it--> that's about 3 generations of product field testing. You should really thank gs, ns, and gs4g for making your ns4g what it is today
Current evo4g owner eligible for an upgrade. Was on the sprint website trying to decide between this ns4g ($0.00) and the epic touch4g ($199.99). Love the gs2's hardware, but I agree with don'tshootmesanta's distaste for TouchWiz smothering the ICS goodness underneath. Love the nexus s 4g, but it is getting a little long in the tooth. Would it be wise to get the nexus now?
As a premiere customer I believe my annual upgrade will disappear in two weeks as the program comes to an end, and the opportunity to (finally) own a nexus device, for free, seems foolish to pass up.
The foolish thing would be not to get the iPhone 4s and flip it. Nexus S 4G are too cheap to use an upgrade on it.

3. Keep using the evo or use the $400 profit to buy new phone off contract?

For me it's either Nexus or no Android phone but I'd get the Epic Touch 4G. You could easily sell it, buy a Nexus S 4G and have some cash to spare. You could even wait and see if the Galaxy Nexus hits Sprint and sell the Epic Touch 4G then.

Yea Peter Alfonso's Bugless Beast GPA 19, very much stock but better. You can just d/l and install it through Rom Manager although it's probably still on these forums some where, just to much other ICS stuff to wade through and find it. I've tried them all and his is by far the smoothest bug free one I've came across, great battery life as well. I'll stick with it until he gets a ICS version up and running.

so long... best wishes to atrix 4g community

hi all. last night i flashed cm10 (epinter). loved it for an alpha. but than today i went to the mall cause my wife wanted to buy some stuff, meanwhile i passed my time to bestbuy mobile. she was eligible for an upgrade device. and i discovered that i could trade my beloved atrix 4g for a value of 150$. long story short I added 50$ (+36$ activation fee for att suckers) and ended up with the SGS3. bigger and better finally true.
almost a year with atrix 4g have been amazing. would never forget the first bootloader unlock, the first cm7 flash, the first miui emotions... cm9 and cm10 last night. thank you very much all the developers and testers all the community.
specially many thanks to cyanogen and the team, turl, stevendeb, epinter. thank you guys.
keep up the good work.

You're gonna love the GS3. I upgraded about 3 weeks ago. Screen, speed, and ICS are awesome. Touchwiz is also much better than Motoblur (although I've already started using Nova as my launcher).
That said, my daughter is loving the Atrix and lapdock that I handed down to her. Such an awesome phone that I couldn't part with it as long as someone in my family could use it.
There are a few areas however that the Atrix still beats the GS3. The Atrix bluetooth radio is better. Hooks up faster to my car, and has significantly better range with my headphones at the gym. The cell radio on my GS3 also flips between 3G and Edge more than the Atrix did (sorry, no LTE in my area yet). Also, I'm sad to say that the Atrix has better battery life too.
So, bottom line is that the GS3 is an awesome phone (really love the camera too), but the Atrix still holds its own for an older phone. Gotta love all the choices we have with Android!

Our company has 4 atrix's... 2 are stock blur and 2 are ics/jb and afaik there are a lot less dropped calls/freezing/glitching on the stock blur roms than the experimental kangs. The only complaints with android 4 is the camera problems! I sure wish motorola would hurry up and release ICS or a lot more people are going to jump ship.
I know I'm eyeing the SGS3. Itis pretty much guaranteed to get updated CM builds., I don't give two craps about Touchwiz, though. The only thing holding me back is that, specs wise, it's not a huge upgrade from the Atrix. So I keep thinking it's probably not worth the upgrade cost.

The GS3 is too big for my liking. Even my SGSII I wish would have a smaller form factor sometimes as well. Atrix with a TPU Case IMO is the perfect size for a cell phone.
If the next Nexus phone has the same size as the Atrix, plus had MicroSD support. Oh man... Yeah that would hold me over for a LONNNNNG time...

Will they just take any atrix? Even one with cm9 and stuff, or would I need to flashback first?

Yea, did you have to buy a phone from them for them to buy yours? Could anybody just walk in and sell them an Atrix for 150 outright?
I'm gonna give att a call tomorrow and see what they say about this. Hopefully I can trade mine with a skyrocket without giving them any extra money.

I'm using my atrix on AT&T right now without a data plan. Unless they just did a straight swap on phones (kind of like what Microsoft did with their promotion a little while ago), I'm guessing I can't do this.
You can always sell on eBay or Amazon. That'll net more than a bestbuy trade in

How do you not have at least the minimum data plan? I dont use any data each month (all wifi) but still have to pay them for it.

I do the same thing as you and att forced me to have the minimum data plan(200MB). Can you have a smartphone without a data plan on att?

Bhavin above said hes on att with no data plan
And on another note, the atrix is by far the "crappiest" phone on the market. You're obviously not familiar with the Motorola flipside that att STILL sells but can't even get a proper recovery and is forced to stay completely stock, although rooted, if you want a proper working phone.

when i went to bestbuy mobile i had jellybean (epinter) rooted and bootloader unlocked. they couldn't believe their eyes.
i asked them if there will be any difference if the atrix was unlocked. they said NO!
I must say that I actually bought the atrix from them, so they searched for the receipt on their system and found it.
dont know if atrix 4g bought elsewhere can be trade in on bestbuy mobile.

hi all. last night i flashed cm10 (epinter). loved it for an alpha. but than today i went to the mall cause my wife wanted to buy some stuff, meanwhile i passed my time to bestbuy mobile. she was eligible for an upgrade device. and i discovered that i could trade my beloved atrix 4g for a value of 150$. long story short I added 50$ (+36$ activation fee for att suckers) and ended up with the SGS3. bigger and better finally true.
almost a year with atrix 4g have been amazing. would never forget the first bootloader unlock, the first cm7 flash, the first miui emotions... cm9 and cm10 last night. thank you very much all the developers and testers all the community.
specially many thanks to cyanogen and the team, turl, stevendeb, epinter. thank you guys.
keep up the good work.

Were you elegible for an upgrade? Can anyone randomly walk in with an atrix and walk out with any phone?

No parting
I dont think I will be changing to any other phones mainly because of the fingerpring scanner. Its the best and unique feature. Since I have had it, its fast and easy login. If the Atrix 3 the fingerprint scanner, than I might be next..
