Missing everyone in all the fun! - EVO Shift 4G General

Just wanted to give a shout-out to you peeps back at HTC Evo Shift 4G -
I already miss yas <3
I took my Samsung GS2 Epic 4G Touch out to a forest--it took a dive on a dirt road and went *skitchskitchskitch!* DOA
WHAAAAAAT!! Dang, what a bunch of bullocks. They are replacing it ..and boy do I hope it's just the phone I received.
Best

good luck
Dropped mone on garage floor yesterday.bounced off concrete case flew off ajd battery goes flying. Not the first time thats hsppened.one time down 5 concrete steps. Flew apart. No damage lol. Lucky. Anyway good luck with your phone!

I have dropped my shift multiple times with complete dismantle occurring (battery flying, case exploding, etc.) and have never had a problem. As of now the body is dented and scratched but still runs like a champ. January will be two years. Itching for a new toy, but it will be hard to let go of my shift.

Yeah, i'm asking around on the forums. It may have been the ROM - but either way, my cell provider is sending me a new one express mail style.

Good deal . Hopefully you'll be up and running soon.

Come November, it's a Photon. I think.
Still debating whether or not I want to sign a contract.

You could always pick something up off contract. That way you save the upgrade.
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11

These shifts are sturdy. I've dropped my shift raw dog no case on concrete numerous times. Only damage is a few scuffs around the edges.
Shifted from a Zombie Wasteland

Well, depending what I do...I may shift over after some time as long as I keep this Galaxy S2 E4GT in good standing..i can probably resell it and get a real phone. Yeah, wtf s up with quality control.
I heard in other countries- they have a different screen all together. Ones that do not shatter.
Gotta love America! Land of opportunity..and that of buy and upgrade, or sell to waste. constant...Yeah, HTC makes solid devices.

Yeah I'm an HTC Fanboy. Get Crap from a lot of people for it. Till I have to fix there phones :silly:

Got mine today! BUT - don't let your wife near it!

i got mine today after days of frustration with tmobile! at long last i thought! what a beautiful little slab of magnificence......i had it for all of twenty minutes before my wife nabbed it! now its here phone and i'm stuck with my bloody touch pro2. gutted!
nothing new here...just thought i'd warn y'all!
back hand the woman and tell her to get back into the kitchen and make you some food!
j/k =)
smart wife!!!
I bought my wife a HTC Diamond 2 a day before I ordered my HD2.
She gets mad when I won’t let her touch my HD2 w/o my supervision....
Oh well, I have seen her drop her phone 6x on the kitchen floor in the past 1.5months she's had it. I'm not taking the risk!
Just buy her one too. I always ask my wife if she wants one, when I get a new phone.
Problem solved
send your gf/wife to a finger nail artist at your expense, it's almost impossible to use a touchscreen phone with those long finger nails
Luckily my gf would find this phone too big for her tiny little hands. Small hands make anything she holds look far bigger!
They're buy one get one free, go back and get one for yourself!

Buahahahaha, i craped my pants
I thought I should share. in Dec 2008 I bought an iPhone for my wife and Xperia X1 for myself. She still has that iphone but I moved from X1 to X2 and then HTC european version and then Austrlian version which works on ATT US.
Now she tells me that iphone is the best since she has not changed it then where I got 4 phones.
Now we have fun bashing each others phone.
Well, I was thinking about X10
My wife doesn't touch the HD2. She thinks its too complicated to use compared to her mytouch.
She wants my iPhone though, but I'm keepng it.

v.wise
*clears throat*
Excuse me my dear sweet husband . . . .
Lets please be reminded who is paying for this phone. AS for you carrying the phone I think it is only fair I carry the HD2 because you said I'd love the Motorola cliq and that was a lie. It was clearly nothing like the G1 and I trusted your geeky opinion. I think they should revok your membership here clearly on the basis that you have no clue.
AS for the wet farts who told you to ***** slap the mofo exsqueeze me. you should be shaking the hand of a woman like me who can appreciate the value of a extraordinary phone. i may not be the triple tapped gadget calendar girl but trust me you will rarely come across someone who posses a vagina who will put down that kind of money for a mini computer.
And as a woman with small hands it does look rather large in my hands but as any man can appreciate the tight grip i hold on it without it actually being dropped and smile with pride because a girl gets it is all I need. And as for my nails I had them done last week and they are sports cut to enhance my qwerty keyboard speed. Ninja like moves, cat like reflexes!!

wow...NOW who got ***** slapped!?!?
damn i should never have shown her this!
damn man better luck next time...lol Busted

Hmm, glad I didn't buy the Evo Now I can get this or whatever's better once my contract runs up.
I took back my EVO for the Epic. The EVO sucked in my opinion. The build quality is kinda horrid, I went through 3 EVOs all which broke on me. I was very disappointed with HTC this time around.

The EVOs hardware is horrible on their first builds. The first one the USB port broke, second one the bottom lights didnt light up right and the third one the USB port broke again, it got to the point where it literally couldnt charge it anymore. I've had enough with that ****ty phone.

I know better than to get a samsung phone after seeing what they did with the moment
Ugh I'm in a tough spot. Went wakeboarding with my hero in my pocket this morning, and I'll let it sit in rice for a few days but I'm not holding out hope. I do have a line in our plan up for upgrade.
Do I:
Use it on another hero, which will root and probably run Froyo happily for another 10 months
Get an Evo which is nice but frickin' huge. Suck up the $10 sucker fee and deny the phones on the horizon
Get a cheap flip phone off Craigslist and hold out for an Epic.
Do I even want a hardware keyboard? Even if I didn't use it this phone looks awesome. Samsung support scares me though. Perusing the Moment developer scene doesn't give me much hope of getting AOSP builds going.

Not to mention the Epic is very likely going to have that $10 fee as well
Yeah, no doubt.
I guess I've decided to use my old Q9C (UGH!) for the month or so until the Epic is rumored to come out. I'll pick it up and try it out, and use the 30 day return to hop back to Evo if I don't like it.

not worth it to waste an upgrade on a hero. go grab a old palm or blackberry and use it if u want the epic. or just suck it up and get the hero
Or if you wanted to pick up phones at radioshack you could just return each phone before the 30 days were up until it got released,
I did a whole tour exploring different phones and platforms waiting for the evo when I headed back to sprint, each time you return a phone it resets your 30 day period

My (like) NEW HTC EVO for your Samsung Epic 4G

This might be a hard one, but dammit if I'm gonna try. First off i live in Oregon, Portland area.
My EVO has been a trooper ever since launch day. But, JUST THE OTHER DAY I got the screen and outer gloss casing replaced under warranty. so it looks just DAMN new. pretty much new. So there isn't a scratch at all.
What I'm looking for is a Samsung Epic 4G. It needs to be in good condition, meaning no scratches and the latches need to be flawless, and the keys cant be worn off. My EVO is just as pristine.
I will include the original box and stuff that came with the EVO. Also, a rubber outer case, which I found to be the best for everyday use. My EVO IS ROOTED. So you can have all the fun with that...
Hate Samsung's TouchWiz interface? Give HTC Sense a try! Trust me, its better...
IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT ON ALL THE FROYO ACTION WITH YOUR EPIC, THEN THE EVO IS YOUR THANG!
The only reason I'm doing this is because my mom just got an Epic, and I ended up liking it a lot, and want to make sure i can help her out with it if i ever need too. There is nothing wrong with the EVO.
**If you would like me to install a custom rom on the EVO, I can do that too to sweeten the deal, if you want.** *currently has Cyanogen Mod* tell me what you want, you want stock? Will do. You want stock but rooted? My cup of tea. I'll make sure you going into a new EVO will be a good one.

****. Well, I live in Olympia, WA. Let me think about it a little bit. I'd of course like to meet up somewhere and make the trade. For reference there is one defect with my Epic and that is that the Micro USB port sliding cover thing has been stuck since day 2 of having the phone. Let me know now if that is a dealbreaker but I'd definitely need to think about it.
Also, right now my Epic is running a leaked Froyo build, Mammon's Bonsai4all Rom with ext4 and no journaling, as you can see from my sig its quite blazing (I know people get wierded out by quadrant sometimes but if you go read the thread on bonsai4all you'll see my results are quite typical).
Olympia isnt that bad! Can you post or PM me a picture of the "defect"? Im interested in trading with you and your Epic. I'm free all next week.
I have owned two EVOs in the past one had screen seperation issues, both had at least one dead pixel. Does yours have any of these issues?
none of these issues, as i have a new screen and outter gloss cassing bracket on the EVO.
I am about to trade my epic for a white evo in a 1 hr
I owned a evo since release date but than traded it for the epic but the lack of support from samsung and a couple of bugs,I decided am going back to the evo,hopefully I don't regret it!!!but froyo and possible gingerbread official,I know we have leaked froyo don't tell me that ,but like I said leaked no source code yet so no is not at it full potential....
PM has been sent. .
replied, thanks
so are you looking for a trade? Pm me!

Epic is good phone but there's more support for the evo,
The EVO has a big Dev community. I'll definitely admit that...

I'd have to say the thunderbolt is better than the incredible... Especially data speeds and screen size. Better processor and more ram... How is that a bad thing?

Battery is really the only reason I wouldn't switch. A few smaller points is that personally, it's a tad bigger than what I'd want to carry one me. Also there is less development, but it's obvious a bunch of people are working on it and I'm sure it'll have a good size team over there working on Thunderbolt goodies.
**** man, press charges against him. Guess he wants his daughter all to himself...

Rofl, please tell me you have fornicated with said daughter!
I'm curious how you got a Thunderbolt if they ran out of Incredibles instead of like a Droid X. Did you have to pay even more than the deductible or something?

Goodbye Gentleman

Well gentleman some really bad news :crying: . My Beloved EVO Shift is Gone :crying: . It has moved on to a better place. I've been Uber sick these last few days, Flu. Truly feel like death warmed over. In the midst of feeling like Poo it was knocked off the nightstand, onto a hardwood floor. I was groggy, with a fever. Strike one screen cracked. Then in the middle of the night my dog has a mental break. Knocks the Shift off the nightstand into a Puke Bucket Strike two. Then I fish it out, Yuk. Holding it gingerly. It slips hits the floor again. Strike three, and out. This time the Screen came off . So long story short, no more Shift. Called Sprint, they gave me an SGS3 for Free. So that's what I'm rocking now. Still not rooted, haven't even signed in to Google on it yet. But I will be still be frequenting the Shift forms. Also I will maintain the Roms I always have. Will also keep up on trying to get new stuff for the Shift. Best forum I've ever had the luck to be a part of on XDA . I am moving on, but not leaving. Thank you gentleman for being awesome .

Very sad to hear this, I hope you enjoy your new phone and hopefully recover too. Sucks about the shift though, at least it went out quickly and not in pieces.
But what are your first impressions of SGS3? My upgrade is at the beginning of February and I was thinking about getting that one.

Truly feel like death warmed over. In the midst of feeling like Poo it was knocked off the nightstand, onto a hardwood floor. I was groggy, with a fever. Strike one screen cracked. Then in the middle of the night my dog has a mental break. Knocks the Shift off the nightstand into a Puke Bucket Strike two. Then I fish it out, Yuk. Holding it gingerly. It slips hits the floor again. Strike three, and out. This time the Screen came off . So long story short, no more Shift. Called Sprint, they gave me an SGS3 for Free. So that's what I'm rocking now. Still not rooted, haven't even signed in to Google on it yet. But I will be still be frequenting the Shift forms. Also I will maintain the Roms I always have. Will also keep up on trying to get new stuff for the Shift. Best forum I've ever had the luck to be a part of on XDA . I am moving on, but not leaving. Thank you gentleman for being awesome .

Not as easy as that . I am sick, and I was not in the mood for dealing with anyone. Especially after the situation with my Shift. My wife was speaking with them. They started giving her a hard time, about TEP. So I got on the line, and told her to just cancel my service. All the lines are up for an Upgrade ( 10 Lines ) . She changed her tune really quick. They next day Aired the SGS3 to me.

Can't really say at this point. Haven't used it enough. It's not even Rooted. Just turned it this morning.

No problem, but good luck with the new phone, it really sucks that your Shift had to go so unexpectedly
Like strapped365 said, I never thought I'd see the day lol.

Oh man that sucks! I'm speachless...
Oh noooooooooooooooo!
Possibly the worst way for the Shift to go out lol
Wow, that sucks. I've been leaning towards the SGSIII myself. Your work will surely be missed around here though. Don't be a stranger, and I hope you get to feeling better.
Check the Optimus G.

good to hear you're better and liking the new phone. Knowing you will be over at the S3 forums may be the biggest perk for getting that phone I've heard so far

Damn sorry to hear about that mess. I've been playing with yours and strapped365's ROMs and mods for the past two years.
Thanks for your investment in the speedy.

Strapped365 and I thank you. Strapped is one Hell of a Dev, that's for sure . But I'm not gone for good. You really can't be once you've been on the Shift Forum. The people here are to Kool, helpful, and just generally nice. You can't stay away from people like that. Plus I've learned a lot from people here. So I have to pay it back .
