Evo haters out and about

Just wanted to say that since xda added iPhone (lol) to its list of phones there sure has been an outbreak of trolls!
I just wonder why ppl are complaining about a phone they hate but continue to use. We all know battery life sucks (things are looking up ) and yea it lags sometimes but seriously I am baffled by all the hating. I for one love my phone and have had my problems with it but with development changing all the time there is always a dev willing to fix your problem.
I only wanted to share my love for the Evo so ppl can share there love also... lmao...

1) Battery life doesn't suck, if you tweak the phone. Which, logically, doesn't mean that it sucks if you don't.
2) My Evo seems to be doing everything above 40fps. Can't really say that it's lagging.

This was total sarcasm (from me) from what trolls have been saying... like I said I love my Evo don't have any problems with it.. I am currently getting 16+ hours which is why I said things are looking up...I also don't have any lag issue but o have had random lag before but this supposed to be a mini computer so of course its not gonna be perfect everyday/sec

You got me

I also think it has to do with the lack of moderating on these forums.
Clear and obvious trolls [I can name two names right now but won't] should be banned.
But here they aren't.
Pretty much you have to spam the report button to get any kind of response from the moderating crew.
And then you run the risk of your own ban for "bothering" them.

It's pretty simple. I own a EVO because I wanted a Android phone to take advantage of Google Voice which I use as a business line. It's a good phone, but as good as the EVO is, it isn't perfect. I personally don't start threads criticizing the EVO (because it simply doesn't make sense to here) but if the discussion comes up and people start responding about how the EVO is crystal clear perfect, I speak up. If you were expecting a forum where EVO users just high five'n themselves in ignorant bliss well then just ignore posts like that.
I personally don't see a problem with criticism if it's done tastefully (i.e. with specifics and not general blanketing statements like "OMGZ the EVO/iPhone sucks!"). And it goes both ways anyway - you can't go to any Android site and read about other phones without some (and funny enough EVO users are by freaking far biggest culprits) idiots yelling "SO WHAT!! MY PHONE IS THE BEST!!!" You've got the same people here.
Bottom line this is a General forum about the EVO, and anything about should go. Trolls are trolls and generally say idiotic things that should just be ignored; but don't be surprised when vocal people like me to speak up when a complete EVO fanboy goes into fantasy land.

So why did you start this thread? You really believe that an owner of a product should be prohibited from criticizing it? It's either you love it all the way or you are a troll? What kind of reasoning is that?

almost all the evo users i know love the phone. it's also praised very highly online. as a matter a fact many of the users and devs at precentral just bought evo's to replace their palm pre's.
as far as the iphone, it's a great phone but hardly what id call a smartphone. im willing to bet $$ though that alot of users will be switching to one once the cdma version hits though.

No true multitasking, being locked out of installing anything not found in apple's market (without jail breaking), these two alone make it seem pretty dumbphone-ish to me.

SamsungJohn

Wasn't he supposed to make some kind of announcement on Monday according to his thread? Thought something was in the works and was hoping for more since the other thread got closed.

He did say that and I've been watching all day for this "announcement"

good things come to those who wait.. just chill

Just hoping he didn't get banned from posting since the thread got closed by a Senior moderator. Thats all, I'm not impatient, but really excited to hear what he has to say.

All threads in all forums (not just Epic's) by John were locked by 'upper management' so to speak with XDA, so I'm guessing they didn't like the initial approach of things for whatever reason. I PM'ed him earlier today myself and asked about it for curiosity's sake and he said 'we' were in talks with XDA and he hoped to be able to post some details again soon in a new thread. Without being privy to the particulars of all that, my guess is that they'd prefer him be isolated to some higher level 'general' XDA forum and all interaction/feedback occur in one central thread than have a separate thread with every device of theirs. But that's purely a guess on my part.

I dont want to believe this, but it makes me wonder.
His last activity was 6:49 today, so I doubt he is gonna make any post regarding what he promised.

He's got 4 hours until its no longer Monday. He is in Texas, so its around 8PM there now. I sure hope "politics" doesn't get in the way of him making his announcement or whatever.

Did anyone really think that this was going to turn into something great? I mean really? Samsungs track record for putting customers first has been proven time and time again, long before the galaxy line and long before cell phones. Not only that, look at XDA from the eyes and view of a large corporation such as Samsung... not just from the view of a dev, themer, consumer. If you've ever worked for a larger corporation/company who's main priority is profit and remaiming current and ahead of the competition you probably understand. One main priority is keeping products and control over those products within your reach, not within the reach of the consumer.

No one expects anything good from Samsung. We can at least hold on to a little bit of hope that they may change though. From MWC:

Hope I get. Acting like Samsung John was the next coming of Christ is another thing (again, not just on the Epic forums). I was hopeful as well that Samsung would get it, but the Epic is soon to be old news, to me at least.
And yes, I'm sure samsung gets it. NOW they get it. I take that to mean they won't make the same mistakes on the SG2 line that they made on our phones.

Sounds like a sucker move to me. They say it wont happen again to suck you into buying a a new phone with the same support, only to drop support for the last line of devices. Not buying it Mr Samsung.
As soon as another competitor has a device that has even within reasonable specs at the same time of launch, they are gonna notice why their failure has come to a reality with their next device release.

Lol.
Yano, the cynic in me, as I'm sure is true with some other people, (and I hope its not lost on those people either) believes his lack of a post today is intentional. Remember, he is a social media "analyst". Looking for what type of reactions he would get for breaking such a small "promise" sounds like a pretty good barometer to gauge just how accurate the "mass feelings of resentment" for samsung for not getting us an update sooner is.
Do believe he's the real deal? Yes, and I'm confident he will post with his details later. But I'm pretty sure he's holding off just to watch us, and see how much we hold people to verbal commitments.
We're all lab rats.

Google only has so much power. If they want yo offer some of these services they news to cooperate with Netflix, MPAA, etc. I think some of these blogs/people are blowing this out of proportion.
Tapa tapa tapa

The article sounds a bit hysterical to me, going for fearmongering which surprises me coming from Kendrick who I usually agree with. This feels like those Apple commissioned "Android is tracking you too!" articles that came out during the recent iPhone privacy problems.
The fact that both Netflix and Google are doing this only with videos makes very clear what is inspiring it...they are afraid of getting sued by some deep-pocketed movie studio in an RIAA style vendetta because some wizkid found a way around DRM on a rooted device and passed 100 copies of Avatar 5 or something. At the very least that possibility could make the studios deny their content to Android while still suppling it to tight-as-a-drum iPhones and ipads. That would be bad.
This seems like an altogether healthy and intelligent step for Google to take to protect android's future growth. I can't see Andy "Privacy? Where?" Rubin fighting an all out campaign against rooted Android devices...and the carriers won't since they they know rooted phones are a big draw against the iPhone.
This is definetly bloggers just looking for negative android stories to please Cupertino.

i dont think anything will happen for rooted users.
its what makes android / google so unique, Free from the closed source community.
if they where to clamp down on rooted users it would put off a lot of users, maybe making them switch to another OS.. google dont want that.
Anyway, its our device so its upto us what we do with it, we know that rooting voids our warranty / improves chances of bricking, but we do it still...
android is for the experienced phone user, if it wasnt hackable, i dont think we would like it so much

First, I know that it is true, but it is not the first step in an antirooting war that Kendrick tries to present it as. Therefore, it is fearmongering.
Second, since all such downloads go through Apple's proprietary money spinner called iTunes, it is a much more controllable environment than android with the market. Apple has pledged itself from the first iPod to be all about DRM....Google not so much.

Tell HTC how happy you are with the locked bootloaders

Hey guys,
here is HTC Facebook page.
Looks like it is starting to pick up with people complaining about the bootloader being locked.
Maybe we can all jump on there and let them know how happy we are that they are doing this, along with what other phones we will be buying now.

yeah i saw the page too but they won't change it before launch... something made them do this to the 3d. basically i think htc is saying them do not support flashing custom roms.
ill stick to my new nexus s 4g thanks!

Here is what i wrote,
Signed/Encrypted bootloaders... Come on HTC... This really pisses me off. Think about it, really, what are you losing here? Almost nothing. It is the persons choice to root, so you lose no quality control.
But back onto the actually point. Signing/encrypting bootloaders or other functions of a device that a consumer owns was considered a radical idea. It was frowned upon and was thought of as childish. And that is how you guys are acting, childish. You lock down your phones because your scared of what.... progress?
I understand there are some problems for you with rooting. For example, free wireless tethering, ability to use leaked ROMs and other factors. But this is such a small hand off to wage war with developers. Microsoft did it, Sony did it, even Apple did it.... Look were they all are now. The hackers do everything they can to make sure they can hack and DOMINATE the devices they lock down. In Microsoft's and Sony's case, there is a difference in reason, piracy. Now, tell me, if I can already install any app on my phone, what piracy are you protecting users form by not allowing them to do anything custom with their phone?
You have brought the whole world a step backwards, as a lot of people believe in your philosophies, and eventually will standardize them. What this about to start is enormous, there is no problem right now for you because people aren't even trying to hack your gay signature checks. Why? Because those developers DONT BUY THAT PHONE. ------->DONT<---- Buy that phone. Now, once that this standdard is implemented with every single modern phone, you guys will be tormented by the constant stream of hacks and exploits the a full force of developers can bring. You will be stressed to the point as the iPhone jailbreaking scene replicates itself to Android devices.
I mean come on HTC, do you really want to start all of this? I wouldn't. By not locking down your devices, you gain more customers(even though its a small percent that would leave because of your decisions), you gain a better view from people as a good company, and you get the benefit of geeks saying good things about you on their blogs. Yes HTC, thats were all the reviews come from, US. We will spare you no mercy in our reviews if you condemn us to this treatment any longer.
On a final note, i hope to rethink your decisions to sign/encrypt bootloaders and other parts of the phone. The whole point of Android is to be OPEN, not CLOSED. Thats what makes it different. The point is to be open, no matter what COST or FACTORS convince you otherwise. I do not even want to buy the HTC Evo 3D now because of your changes. Now HTC, rethink what you have done, please, and see if you can change it before it gets out of hand. In the end, you are the company that gets to make the decisions, but we are the consumers who buy your products.
Thanks so much for a great ride so far HTC,
You will be missed

everything looks cool but the part where you look at the weather to check weather is just stupid...

yeah, I heard about these. They're meh, not my thing. Having a phone that does it all is more then enough, I can't imagine having a screen in front of your eye telling you useless info 24/7.
Getting facebook updates from your stoner brother updating his status to 'chillin' 8x a day, would be enough to smash them in no time

They already have a parody about these on YouTube.

Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.

Most of the Android apps I use have ads plastered all over them, there's no reason to suppose these glasses will be any different.
I just wonder how long it will be before someone is killed wandering around blindly using these things. As if being "powered" by Google isn't bad enough, the safety implications are quite obvious.

We are already at risk with people texting and driving and being general morons with phones anyways. Glasses might make things worse but I'd think they might see what's in front of them one day with them on. I say go for it, I would want them until they had retinal implants with a neural interface of some sort.

Think it is neat, but really this has safety hazards written all over the place.
When is enough going to be enough. I betcha it catches on though, lol!

Didn't Google say that the video wasn't real and was concept? Pretty sure I read about it on endgadget

As catastrophic as it's gonna be, people are gonna buy it, it's the next best thing, so screw safety, lol.

Cool! But I’m sure Apple will sue anyone who tries to manufacture them!
Since they hold "retina display" patent already, they will certainly try to apply to everything to squeeze as much money as they can.

I like the design, but we already have a big enough problem with texting and driving deaths. The last thing we need is another distraction.

Up for preorder for those who happened to attend the IO event, and had $1500 bucks to lay down

While we're still waiting for AOSP ICS for amaze, the JB is out and this video shows how fast it is:
