Just picked up the Evo LTE - EVO 4G General

I've been sitting on an upgrade since November just waiting for this phone. My wait was worth it. This phone is awesome. Fast, light, awesome camera, and has a really good finish to it. I got it out the door for $50 from best buy with the preorder and EVO trade in discount. Bought a otter box defender case too. The case is pretty badass

I am jealous and think I kinda hate you. have fun with your new toy,

What town you in, is there 4g LTE coverage there?

i was thinking, does Sprint have LTE anywhere? this reminds me of the Wimax revolution again.

Wow. Wrong section. Cool story.

So far its pretty cool. Dont be jealous. It really sucked waiting almost 6 months to use my upgrade. Its the first time Ive waited over a week after becoming eligible.

Have you had it long enough to judge battery life? My upgrade is due June 1st but I really still enjoy the EVO even after two years. I am thinking of waiting.

LG Eclipse 4g LTE
I've had my heart set on the HTC Evo 4g LTE since i heard about it, but now that I've seen specs on the LG Eclipse 4g LTE, i'm conflicted...
quad core s4 1500mhz, with 2 gb internal ram, and 16gb storage, and a REMOVABLE battery... what... I don't know about LG's quality tho, i've never owned a LG, and when i've seen them, they always seemed like "cheap" quality...

One of my reasons for (likely) hopping onto the Evo LTE wagon is the developer support I'm sure the device is going to get. HTC devices usually get a lot of love from developers, and the EVO incarnations (4G, 3D) have been among the best supported devices in terms of developers. Would it be nice having a quad core phone? Yeah. Doesn't make up for the fact that the development section will likely be a ghost town (for me at least).

It's 5pm right now I took the phone off the charger at 8am. I've done some browsing, market use, a couple phone calls and about 10 songs. I have Bluetooth and all sync items turned on (weather, email, etc.) And the battery is currently at 69%. It did sit idle for 2 hours while we went to the pool. So far I think the battery is running like a champ.

could you post some pics?? also with the phone inside the case, i was wondering how large the phone would look inside the otter case..

I'm picking mine up tonight. Gonna miss it around here. It's been great here the last 2yrs.
Thanks to all :thumbup:

Hopefully you did the Best Buy preorder deal. $50 for this phone is a steal. For the price I would have to say this is the best electronic devices that Ive bought as far bang for the buck.

Got it last night. Lovin it. It's almost too big. Funny how quickly my Evo could feel small. And we've already got 2 recoveries , things are looking good

If you always wait for the next best thing you'll never be happy, because as soon as you buy one phone something better will come along soon after. Stick to the LTE.

Best forum ever, so long dudes

I used my upgrade, i stayed cheap and got a tbolt. This forum has the best devs and info sharing of all that i have read. Thanks to all for what they do. I went with the tbolt because i prefer htc phones, its got alot of good roms goin, 4g (which btw, bestbuy left my alltel unlimited plan alone), and i really love the big screen. Wife also didnt cut my sack off since i spent only $50+ tax. Ill still be around, the dinc is my 5yr olds new gamer/music/video/camera toy. I tell you, ive pulled 25meg dl speeds pretty consistently, compared it to my stepsons galaxy 2s epic 4g, and promptly showed him why sprint sucks. Big flashy phone aint to great gettin 2.5 meg dl speed with my bolt is smokin along. Thanks to everyone who helped, cared, devs, and shares. Dinc best phone i ever owned, this is just a bigget faster version of it. Peace.

nope it's been less than 2 years, but it probably feels like 5 for some people
I've been itching for a new phone, but with the extended battery on this and all the great ROM's, it outlasts almost any newer phone in battery life, and I still love my phone too much to get a new one.
I'm just waiting for a solid good phone to be released.. hasn't happened yet. Supposedly 2nd generation 4G LTE chips with better battery life are to be released soon. I need a phone that will easily last through 1 day, most of these new ones can't (including TB :/ )

3 more months when my Big Red contract is up I'm going to snag the best dual processor phone out and scoot on over to Simple Mobile. I might start looking at WM phones also because of the programs that run on both phone and computer...... but if an Android is flashing a nice spec sheet, it will win out.

EVO Shift 4G Reaching EOL

I don't know if you guys have read this but I thought I would post it up here to share. Apparently the EVO Shift is reaching End of life along with the white version of the EVO 3D.

This does sadden me a bit, I love the Shift and even using the 3D now I always keep the little guy with me.
Even so, im sure development will go on in these threads no matter what title Sprint gives it.

EOL? GOOD! So what's next?
Shift 2 I hope.
Well I wouldn't close the coffin just yet. The EVO Shift has plenty of life in it still.
According to that article the shift is already eol the end of last week... Which was kind of expected, seeeing how htc totally butt ****ed ics by adding the typical htc sense bloat****... I have my doubts, because there is an evo3d on the list that's supposedly being eol'd... It has only been out 7-9 mos... Evo3d is a flagship phone and although it wasnt as popular as sprint had wished, im actually very surprised if that list is indeed true...
Edit: is the evo3d sprints new samsung moment? Lmao!
Sent from my PG06100 using Tapatalk
Boo, it's true, the Shift is no longer an option for buying/upgrading (on Sprint's website).
But, with a proper ICS rom, the Shift should still be kickin' a year or two from now. Here's to hoping the successor will be just as awesome (maybe with HDMI/DP out capabilities?).

Only the White Evo3d is on the eol. Not the Black one, that one is still going strong
This makes me LOL! The same thing happens with all smart phones. When their flagship phones don't sell as much like drob331 said, they tend to pull other devices off the shelvs first in hope that people will upgrade. The same thing happened with the G1/Mytouch. People continued to buy G1's and Mytouch's even after they were no longer available, from places like from ebay and other places. They were still great first generation devices!

Yea of course, just because the shift is reaching EOL doesn't mean anything changing here on xda, ebay, or anywhere else. It's just an extra tag sprint has given it. Yet I still view as a little saddening as the shifts power was under estimated.

Shift 2 with a Dual Core Processor, 4 Inch Screen, and the new Tech Battery that's 35% Thinner with more capacity. Or maybe dare we dream the screen that has Solar Charging capability. Hey I can dream.

I think I would've been fine with the shift for another year, but the moment I got the EVO I couldn't stand the slower speed, and i couldn't go back to the small screen so I went with the 3D I guess you can call me a band wagoner LOL. Shift is still my favorite device though

The death of a vibrant...

Hey everyone,
yesterday was a tragic day for me as my beloved Vibrant has fallen off my pockets because of my insecurities of not securing it safely after hanging up on a friend. I was washing my car, my friend decides to call me to and asks me if I can go with him to give him some advice for a new android phone since he's going to be joining in the android family. Unfortunately, after hanging up, I get a broken LCD touch screen phone and he gets a new one. So, without further a doo doo. here it is.

I would love to buy a new LCD Touch screen, but for what it's worth $85+, I might as well just get a new phone.
So, any suggestions for phones on a T-Mobile Network?
SGSII
HTC Amaze 4G
HTC One S (waiting on this for now...)
Another vibrant for cheap until sgsiii comes out. The ii isn't worth it in my opinion and the amaze isn't so good. Ive never been a fan of hard So no opinion on that.

Yup SGS 3 is supposed to have LTE support with out sacrificing Exynos and that is amazing..
I got the sgsii and regretted it. I should have kept my vibrant untill the 3 well. If you can afford phones whenever u want get the two but if not get another vibrant for 100-120 ans just use that
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I would definitely wait until the SGS3 comes out as well... or when it is officially announced at the very least.
you'll find other phones to drop in price by then. personally i wouldn't settle for a "new" phone right now bc they're all generally on the tail end of what the trends have shown
at the very best, you'll end up with a phone that may not be completely LTE capable, a screen's resolution only able to boast up to 960x540, and a battery still in the 1600-1700 mAh range.. seeing that phones in the next few months will all have at least 720p screens, LTE, and better battery life.. i would wait it out
thanks for the input guys. I wanted to wait out for the GSIII to be honest and keep my vibrant till then. Right now I'm using the myTouch 3G/Sapphire I believe... garbage..
I'll wait and see for the GSIII.
I'm the same boat as you bro. I'm using a iphone 3gs while waiting dor the sgs3

If you wanna upgrade on the cheap, I suggest an LG G2X. Dual core, FFC, great support from xda, and its about $225-250 on eBay, and a little bit less on craigslist. This definitely is a great phone with a custom ROM.

wouldn't really call that a reasonable upgrade from the vibrant at that price..
dont mean to bash but having a dual core processor and a FFC for $100+ more over simply replacing a vibrant seems a bit much when a couple months of waiting will provide much greater features for the long haul

Well they were asking about phones like the SGS2 and Amaze, which definitely aren't worth it now. And he's looking for an upgrade, and that would be the most reasonable one, considering the phones ahead. But I can definitely see your point.
I couldn't stand having the Vibrant after I broke it twice. Lol

I went from a vibrant to a sgs2. I don't regret it at all. Sure the sgs3 will be better but honestly it won't be much longer after it comes out, that everyone will be talking about the next big thing. There are some really good devs over there. As some of you know Eugene373 just got a vibrant, plus we have a guy named thederekjay who is making unbelievably good roms and kernels. This phone will be around for a while.

Sorry to hear about your Vibrant. :/ If I were you, I'd wait it out before spending a good amount of money on one of the phones that are currently out. I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy Note (if it came to T-Mobile). SGS3 would definitely be worth the wait, though.

The note would be very cool if it ends up at T-Mobile otherwise I'd wait for the sgs3. As Much as I wanted a new phone bricked,roman and the other great devs have breathed great new life into my almost 2 year old phone with ics. I've never held onto a phone this long there just in my opinion nothing worth early upgrading to. Good luck
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
I'm actually leaving. As of 3/6/12 my internal SD card is corrupted on my Vibrant. Might disassemble and part out because the screen is perfect. Bought a SGS2 that got "Lost" in the mail..... that is a $350 hit as of now. It is SO ridiculous, the post office said they delivered it so they are washing their hands of the situation. I have spent hours between EBAY PAYPAL and USPS and it does not look good for me . Funny thing is just try to get ahold of EBAY customer service. I only got through after calling PAYPAL directly and then they transferred me to someone at EBAY. Have just bought a spanking new Galaxy Nexus with signature verification through FedEx so we will see about the funny business that may come with this most recent purchase.

Fascinate vs LG spectrum

About a month ago I got a early upgrade to a 4g phone. Me and my dad ended up with 2 LG spectrums. Cuz they were on sale $199 buy one get one free. WORST CHOICE EVER. From the beginning it was nice. Dual core 1.5ghz 1gb ram. 4.5" screen. Spec wise its one of the best Verizon has. Actually using it. Its worse than the fascinate. Bloatware is crazy. LG apps slow it down. Development kinda sucks. Nobody can get a working cm7. All we have is debloated themed stock. Running at 1.8ghz is nice but battery takes a huge hit. For normal use. Its a decent phone. And maybe it will be when ics gets pushed to it. But as it is right now. Most of y'all that are used to constant updates and new things readily available. You probably wont be happy with it
I thought I would inform you guys of my experience since I'm sure alot of fascinate users are due for an upgrade soon.

Haha. Nice. Worst part. On top of LG development sucking. Verizon sold me one that gets no 1x signal. 75% of the time i can't make a phone call. When it says ive got good signal. I made Verizon reactivate my fascinate until they get a replacement spectrum to me

Well if I was you, I would test the replacement thoroughly and ensure it doesn't have the same problem. If it does then request a replacement with a different model entirely due to a design defect.
Here's to hoping that you have the same issue on the replacement

I agree with you there. I'm hoping it is a design defect. I want either a rezound or the gnex. Only reason i went with the spectrum is because it was the only way my line could get a upgrade. My dads line got a promotion deal with a upgrade to 4g. With the bogo deal they let me upgrade too.
How can they expect me too keep signal problems. Bad signal+4g phone = horrible battery life. Even a custom kernel running at 810mhz conservative dies from full on me between the 6th or 7th hour of use. My fascinate yesterday got me to 50% in 6 hours at 1.2 on the latest ths cm9

I went from Eris > Fascinate > Spectrum
The LG has a nice screen, but still not quite Super AMOLED nice. More like iPhone nice. I picked up the Fascinate used for $69 and I think I got a great deal.
I'm sort of of the opinion that until official ICS is released I shouldn't really think about it much. Not much point in spending a lot of time with GB when ICS is a little bit away.
It's got good specs but I think the software is where it loses.
Would I trade it for an SGS3 absolutely, but do I think it was a good deal (99$ with a 40$ bill credit) absolutely as well.
One thing that this phone blows the Fascinate away with is GPS lock times. I gave up on trying to use GPS on the Fascinate, normally opting to use my wife's Stratosphere, but have no problems with this one.
Though the thriving development scene might work a little better if they make a Spectrum forum here.
>doesn't use ICS
>bad GPS
yep...

Flash Aokp and you'll have instant gps locks and ICS.. Boom. Two birds with one stone.

I've got ICS at the moment on it, the phone however is no longer activated.
It's running aokp_fascinatemtd_build-37-Glitched-2012-05-24-18_51
All three members of our household have a Fascinate, and we all love them. Plus, once I figure out the custom ROM situation for mine, I can flash both my parents' fascinates.

Well the spectrum community on androidforums have donated about 5 to devs. Weblexa that does the miui rom should be receiving his soon. So its looking good. Try brokenout rom on your spectrum. I've got my replacement in and it works perfect. I can't overclock the new one as high. But I keep it at 1.2 conservative and it blows the fascinate out of the water. and I average about 11 hour battery life with spotty 4g coverage

Broke my phone in 2 pieces - time for something new. Suggestions?

I have an available upgrade right now, what should I be looking at? I was thinking about the Samsung Galaxy III. I broke my phone in two pieces so kind of in a time crunch to get something fast.
Thanks!
Well depends on your personal preference. Since you already have the OG EVO I would recommend the new EvoLTE. Great all around phone & a major upgrade from your deceased phone. The GSIII is also a great phone with almost identical specs & performance. Most of the disagreements comes down to personal preferences like Sense vs TouchWiz or LCD2 vs AMOLED. Both are excellent phones and you really can't go wrong with either.

The white Evo LTE comes out on Sunday it looks nice if you don't like the black one.
P.s. I have the Evo 4g LTE in black and I love how blazing fast it island its easy to root

Did your EVO actually split in half!? If so I want to see pics... ya I'm weird like that
if you like aosp go for the galaxy nexus as it will always get the latest android updates first since its a google phone.
Pics or it didn't happen

My vote is G S III.
How did you break the phone in two?
Ditch Sprint. I switched my Evo to Pageplus prepaid and now my GN on Straight Talk and loving the prepaid (5mb dl on hspa+)

YAAAA thats what I'm talking about... I mean ohh sorry bro. How the hell did that happen. I love how the back cover is just chilling there with no marks. I mainly work with HTC's I'm not sure how you get out the internal SD on the GNEX but it shouldn't be hard. Wish I could help you out more. Though I am currently bidding on a broken GNEX on ebay. So hopefully soon I will know all the hardware in and outs of it.

I'm back to my Thunderbolt but so pissed that theres no ICS roms! WTF! Grrrrrr
JB is already out and it rocks... I guess I'll just get an S3......
But the thing I LOVE about the HTC that it actually is smart enough to see many contacts and it gives you suggestions to MERGE them! What a concept! My Nexus had 1180 contacts.... none merged. total fail.
