Hello EVO 3d owners. With the recent possibility of samsung releasing a 1.4 ghz dual core variant, and the possibility of an ice cream sandwhich device at years end, are any of you considering returning this phone and waiting. Just looking for opinions.
Thanks

Nope... if we continue to wait for the next big thing in technology, how can we ever enjoy any of it? The evolution of phones is moving very fast... as soon as you get your hands on this new 1.4 ghz phone they will be releasing notes on the even newer 2ghz phone of the future.... I am excited to get my hands on this device and will hold on to it until my next upgrade is available, gives me something to look forward to without having to focus on each new thing out there!
There's already quad core phones coming out by q4 2011.

If the phone just came out buy it no need to wait especially if you have upgrades every year. If the phone has been out for more than 6 months then I'd look at what's out on the horizon.

Well I don't have yearly upgrades, and would like to have a phone that could potentially last for 22 months. Will the 3d be able to do that?

Theres only so much you can do with a phone. Sure you can have a quad core 2.0ghz phone, but wtf do you need it for? Plus the battery life is already terrible. Could you imagine?

this is the most stupid tread ive seen so far
why dont you stay quiet and dont post anything like this???
I can agree that if we just keep waiting for the "NEXT BIG THING," we'll never really get a chance to enjoy what's now. Think of it this way, you have a phone that's less than a week old, so you're doing pretty good. Will this phone last for a while? Sure, I think it will. But this is coming from me, who just upgraded from a HERO. So, I think I can hold onto this phone until my next upgrade (1 year from June 24th.)
omg can u imagine how does the next Iphone will look??????????

I can say quite positively that you added nothing to this post, and only took away from it. Maybe it was not "smart" or "high quality", but you just decreased the intelligent level of the conversation. Thank you for that.
I agree with everyone. I am not a tech junkie, I don't have to have the best of the best. I am a graduate student in neurology. I also have a lot a bit of experience in computer programming. I actually used my Org Evo to interface with research equipment and analysis data. Well the software we use continues to advance and demands better phones. So I am just trying to future proof myself in that area. I am trying to make sure the phone's hardware is all that it is suppose to be. If my original evo was up to par, I would still be using that.
I believe that it is. I honestly believe, based off an in depth talk with a gentleman whose entire career is based on developing microchips like the one we see in our phones. He is adamant that the newest generation of qualcomm (spelling) processors are the best he has seen in a phone this far.
Anyway, that combined with the reputation HTC has, the 3vo seems like a great bet.
lol, this is the age old question for tech Buy something that just came out, or wait for something better coming out later
If you go with the attitude to wait, then why not wait forever and get nothing I mean lets say you hold off on the EVO-3D, and wait for the slightly better Galaxy S2, but don't get that the Nexus-4.0 will be even better than the Galaxy S2, but wait, the Nexus-4.0 will be trumped by the best yet Galaxy S3 due next spring per Samsung, but wait the Galaxy S3 will be outdone by the EVO-Three.
What if while waiting for the next best thing, you get killed in a car wreck tomorrow, thus never enjoying the cool tech we have right here, right now.
Oh yeah, the words "Future Proof" lol uh no such thing...
To the OP -
What people have said in this thread makes perfect sense. If you wait for THOSE phones there will be even better ones around the corner in the future too. So you would simply be right back in the same situation.
I can see the 3vo being the 2nd legit 22 month phone. the og Evo being the 1st.
Like others have said you can't keep waiting or you'll never get. As for a 1.4 dual. Meh what's it really going to do that your 1.2's can't do? well outside of increase your penis size in a pissing match. Heck thats about all the quad cores are going to do too.
phones are advancing too fast. there is hardly anything out there that will take full advantage of the dual core phones. i think getting the 3vo would be fine because it will take a bit before developers catch up with it and by then you'll be due for an upgrade.
will be returning evo 3D. Its no diff from EVO 4G besides the 3D and the dual core. waiting for samsung gs2 or Motorola Photon.

Yeah the QHD screen, the better form factor on the body of the phone, double the ram, 4 times the internal storage (this will matter a lot more when we have root and custom roms), the actual camera button, the newer build, second microphone for noise cancelling. You're right the Evo 4G had all of those.
only thing thats making me more and more want to return the phone is..
its not that I don't believe HTC will unlock the phone...
its how many good Dev's are we losing in the meantime?

As a Fascinate user, was planning on getting the Bionic as I was at first disapointed with Samsung's lack of support, issues, etc. But the screen, codecs, weight, and such all won me over, and I can't wait to get the SGSII. Hopefully its coming to Verizon with an Exynos processor and Mali GPU.....

I am still not sure{using N1 for close to 14months now},will decide depending on how well HTC Sensation turns out{announcement might come on 12th April}
LG Optimus 2X{already available here & is surprisingly cheaper than SE Xperia Arc & Xperia Play} vs SGS 2 vs HTC Sensation will be my choices.But right now my first preference will be HTC Sensation{aka HTC Pyramid}
I can upgrade any time I want to, so I can't wait to buy it when it comes out! I was a bit disappointed with the Tegra2, so right now is a good time to see the other dual cores coming out.
Oh, and the fact that Galaxy phones are made in Korea makes me swell with pride, so that's another factor in buying the SGSII.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
I was an early adopter for the original SGS and got slightly burnt by the annoying lag with Samsung's official ROM. Luckily there are some great people on XDA and a lot of effort has gone into creating a much better custom ROM.
Although everything about the SGS2 sounds great, I think I'll hang back by a month or two until I've ready the initial reviews and customer experiences (hopefully benefit from a reduced price from the original launch price).
I'm definitely getting one, to replace a rather old Sanyo SCP-8400. I've had the SGS2 on pre-order since March 18...
I've also preordered mine on Amazon.de. I trust the xda devs will come through, as they most often do.
Cant wait to buy SGS2..
I cant stand Slamsung in my home but theres no way i can turn down this phone and buy something else...Samsung is nr 1 2011...No doubt.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but HTC Sensation specs aren't better than SGS2, even though it's been announced after SGS2... Where is the NFC, for example ? What's really unique in Sensation? SGS2 has some cool gyroscope functions, for example.
Ill certainly be getting this device WHEN its launched......

I cannot wait to have this super phone.
Hello ALL,
What would you all say if you had to get a exchange for another EVO 3D or since I'm within my 30 days change it for the Photon 4G and just pay the restocking fee?
I do want to point out I am have had a Nexus S 4G and now a 3D but I have now had this phone for a week and I'm running into random rebooting more often in the last 2 days ... I love the battery live and don't mind the QHD screen. And maybe some will tell me to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S2 but that won't be out till late September in my opinion ... That's the phone I would rather have but can't so closest phones would be the 3D or the Motorola Photon 4G...
Thanks to anyone that reads or replies ...

Why would you want a photon, you would be downgrading, the tegra 2 chip is like a year old already and on top of that the bootloader is locked down tight, while ours is on the verge of being unlocked. I thought about the photon too but after some research I found this to be the better phone, and random reboots will be a thing of the past once we can start flashing and get off the sometimes buggy stock.

This right here. The only reason to switch is if you wanted the old HDMI cable to work and a kickstand.
I'm swapping for the photon. I've had too many problems. The 3d is a good phone but htc left a bad taste in my mouth. Just my opinion. PS there was a guy who bought a photon Dev phone early and he gave it great praise. In the end it just comes down to what makes you happy regardless of which processor is in it.

To both you and the OP, I guess the Photon looks good, if you don't want to root and run custom ROMS, then? If you do want to root and ROM, then I'd stick with the 3D. Or, get something you can run til the Samsung Galaxy S2 comes out. But, my husband has the Epic, also Samsung. It has little support for ROMS. He's probably going to switch to my OG Evo, now that I have the 3D. So many more ROMS for the OG Evo, and mine's already rooted...
I am so not a fan of Motorola phones. I think they have the worst design team out of all of the phone manufacturer's and they usually run as good as they look. (like sh!t)
Just watched a video of the Photon. Doesn't look too impressive to me. I noticed that it seemed to have a similar issue to some Samsung phones with the capacitive buttons not being that responsive and the kickstand (to me at least) seems stupid. I have an Evo 4G and never found a use for the kickstand. It was more of a pain in the arse to try and use than anything and it is a far more gimmicky feature than 3D would ever be.
But hey, whatever floats your boat. You might want to start asking for a Photon forum now if they don't already have one.
I had enough of the tegra 2... If you want a 2009( they started rolling out) chip on a 2011 device, more power to you.
I'm getting the photon4g for sure mainly because it's a world phone. Need it for use overseas as I don't wanna keep paying roaming fees. It gets pretty costly. Moreover it really issnt that bad specs wise for a second phone

It seems everything is coming out half-baked nowadays. The so-called gold standard, iPhone, even comes out half baked. Well it comes without features, that's just it's design, but I mean whatever it has came out troubled.
I went from the Samsung Epic to 3VO. If you think 3VO is half-baked, man, the Epic is worse. Sure you can root it, etc etc, but it was only until recently the DEVs here started fixing what Samsung couldn't, or rather wouldn't.
Personally, remain patient. The lack of patience is what's getting so many people into trouble nowadays :inserting rant: The Photon I bet will have some errors and a lack of an ability to do ROMs I bet.
HTC supports and respects the developing community, Motorola said in a press release "if you want to hack your phone, get an HTC". Basically giving the middle finger to the modders. That alone makes me not want to spen my money towards a company that wont listen to their customers. Plus it has blur...yuck.

I dont get why people are dissing the tegra 2 as if its some terrible chip when it's just as capable as the snapdragon in the 3D.. especially if you play games. Let's not let the fanboyism shade reality here. I'm just sayin...
Yeah I'm still undecided if I want to exchange the 3d for the photon. I guess the only thing holding me back is the uncertainty of ever obtaining root.

Last I checked Snapdragon in the Evo 3D scored lower than the original Galaxy S line.
Photon and Evo 3D will both perform very well in games. Tegra 2 is losing it's touch though, just because it's becoming older. It's still good enough to keep up with current technology for at least the next year. And answer me this, is there a single android phone right now that doesn't have a root method? Trust me, the Photon will be rooted. The only problem is whether you'll be able to flash a custom recovery or not.

When comparing my E3D to my wife's Epic 4G my E3D wins in benchmark testing, though not by as much as would be expected. The hummingbird GPU was and still is pretty amazing and even with all of these dual core newer procesors coming out, it still hangs near the front of the pack.

Vent about what? Four months after the amaze comes out, there will be another flagship phone... I guarantee it.
If you ever buy technology so that you can own the best and fastest, whether it's a phone or computer or something else, then dont bother buying. You will always be disappointed. Instead, maybe just use your sensation and be happy with all that it is and all that it can do.
No, it's a phone, you'll get over it just like everyone else.

Sensation is still very young. While we can't have HW limitations changed, there can and will be things done to work around it (ok, not camera, but how many people actually use it). RAM is enough, especially with all the optimisations lately. Few more quirks to work out and Sensation will be almost perfect. Who's to say that Amaze won't have more problems than Sensation?
So no, i'm not pissed off at all. Oh, and Amaze is UGLY.
I'm pretty sure its gonna run like butter with a LIL more RAM nd sense 3.5..cuz with the specs the sensation has..lag shouldnt exist
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
And its not really the biggest jump either, i mean
1.5GHz dual-core CPU(That's what we have just under clocked to 1.2),
1GB of RAM(dont realy need that much and were just off buy around 256 mb),
4.3-inch qHD display(got it),
8MP rear camera(got it) ,
2MP front(ok this is and upgrade but who uses the front camera extensivly)
dual-LED flash(got it).
So all they did was not under-clock the cpu, raise ram a tiny bit, make the front camera 2mp and made the phone ugly.
Doesn't matter that much anyway. This phone will be overshadowed sooner or later by quad-core soc's like the tegra 3.
Every phone is outdated specwise around max. 4-5 months after their release.
im happy with my sensation. and as mentioned above there is really that big of improvements on the amaze. and also the sensation as is with all phones will be outdated a few months after its release.
if you are really upset with the the release of a newer phone so close to the release of the sensation, than go out and buy an iphone. atleast there hardware dont improve so quickly and you wont be so upset after buying it and a few months later they release a better one cause it wont happen so close after its initial release.
Sure I'm a little miffed about the specs, but honestly our phones will blow the amaze out of the water until they get cm7 on it. After buying the sensation I decided I'm not buying a new phone until it can be completely hacked s-off/rooted ect.. And an official CM build is a available for it. Otherwise the phone just feels like crap despite the specs due to sense/bloatware.

I am only mad about this because i have had 6 sensations and each had major issues weather hardware or software and at times each have been practically useless.... If they took the time to assure this wouldn't happen I wouldn't mind so much. However, that hasn't been Tue case... So I will be ditching my sensation as soon as the amaze is available.
Also correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the amaze also have a 42 mbps radio and also built in 16gb storage amongst the already mentioned specs.

If the release of the Amaze 4G pisses you off, don't ever buy a new Macbook Pro, or any Apple computer for that matter.
Dropping $2k+ on a new computer just to watch a new version come out a month later with more ram, faster processor, better graphics card, longer battery life, wings, beer dispenser, and a $100 bill printer built in will really make you want to punch babies.
Haha you really can't win no matter what you do. Buy "THE" Android phone today, it's old hat in four months.
It was the exact opposite when I was on the Apple ship. Buy an iPhone today then wait a year or more only to find out the next big super secret release is some marginal upgrade. See iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4. Worth another two-year contract? I think not.
I'm not one to upgrade at every new release, but they say craigslist and ebay are good ways to get rid of old phones.

Yup. If you're buying a piece of technology so that you can feel good about having the "best" you're pretty thick.
You purchase something you feel delivers the best quality you can afford at the moment you are ready to purchase, and then enjoy it for what it is.
Sensation was that for me. Best choice for me at my moment of purchase, and I'm still quite happy about my choice.

I plan on getting one. Even though it's already a few months old, I feel like it's one of the most "future proof" of current phones on the market right now.
Things like Exynos CPU/GPU, 1 GB ram, NFC, effectively maximum speed HSPA+... My Captivate runs quite comfortable at 1.3 GHz w/ Cyanogenmod and still beats the pants off of any stock Android device currently available in the States. That's 2+ versions of Android ahead of what it launched with (2.1 Eclair), and a 30% overclock of what the stock chip came with. By similar logic, the GS2 should last through Ice Cream Sandwich and beyond...
The Note looks awesome but if I wait for it then something better will be right around the corner, besides, been sitting on this upgrade since July

But I'll be picking up the AT&T SGSII when it comes out. Can always sell it later when something much better is released.
I will be getting it on or close as possible to Oct. 2nd I have waited this long and learned my lesson. I WON'T be waiting for the next best phone from attention after this one, I will fork out the cash for an unbranded phone. Maybe the prime or SGS3 IN the near future

I'll be getting it on launch day for sure. I was debating on waiting for the Nexus announcement but the likelihood of at&t seeing a nexus device near launch is slim to none. I know there have been hints dropped about it launching as both cdma and gsm but there is no concrete evidence. So just going by history it will likely be a few months before at&t sees the prime.

Nexus Prime/iPhone 5 for me atm... but theres still a 10% chance that seeing the Att Attain in person could wow me into buying it but I highly doubt it. Don't like Att/Samsung giving Americans the middle finger by taking 6 months to bring it to the U.S.

I don't get why people think Note is God like phone or something. By the time it comes out, the specs will be mediocre at best.

Because it has potential, higher resolution is a big thing which is the only thing missing from sgs2.
Also 5.3 sounds big, but you never know it may be the sweet spot between a phone and tablet. It is definitely going to replace both my phone and tablet.
And then there is the stylus which is kind of cool to have and might come handy in lots of places.
The only thing which is disappointing is the software. I would have liked to see ICS, but they are shipping with ginger bread.

So now it turns out that the screen is broken on my Evo3D (bottom part of the touchscreen is irresponsible to touches) this is after the whole motherboard got replaced after I had the phone for a month, so my carrier will probably let me have a new phone, though I might have to cough up 50-100$ myself...
Not sure what I should get though, so I'd appreciate some input!
I could get an Evo3d for free, but my faith is HTC just isn't what it used to be. It's not just the poor quality of the Evo3D I'm talking about (the touchscreen issue seems to be fairly common) it's also the fact that HTC is making us Evo3D owners wait until at least summertime to get ICS update, which is just unacceptable for what was sold as a top of the line phone...
Moto RAZR
They'd give me the Droid RAZR for 50 bucks, and I'm pretty tempted, since it looks like a nice phone. A great SAMOLED+ QHD screen (Yes I know about the pentile), expandable up to 48gb, a pretty good camera, and super thin Kevlar surface all line up for a pretty sweet package. The only thing kinda holding me back, is that the SGX540 GPU in it is kinda old, battery life is supposed to be just average, and the camera, while good, isn't as good as in the Samsung GSII or iPhone 4S.
Galaxy Nexus
I miiight be able to get a Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy Note if I cough up 100-200$ but not sure if I should go for it. Yes, it has an awesome screen and ICS, but whatever Android phone I get will have ICS in the next 3 months or so. The downside is a kinda old CPU/GPU combo (OMAP4430 and SGX540), a 5 mp camera, average battery life and only 16gb storage.
iPhone
Depending on what I'm willing to spend, they'll let me have an iphone4 for free, or 4S if I put down some cash. Between 50 and 200$ all depending on the 16/32/64 gb model. Now I know the iPhone option is kinda controversial, and if you had asked me a year ago, I'd never get an iPhone. But lately, I've gotten kinda disillusioned with Android. Even on a high end model like the Evo3D or SGSII isn't as smooth as iOS, and lag, even if very slight, is almost always present if you go to a list, for example. Theres also the issue of hardware quality and service. The last six months I've spent a couple dozen hours either trying to get an Android phone fixed, fixing issues with it, or taking it to repairs hops and waiting days or weeks for it to be repaired. With Apple you don't have to deal with all of that. They DO give really, really great service. If you take a broken phone to the Apple store, they often just outright replace it, and that counts for something IMHO.
I've had an ipad2 for the past 5 months, and I've really gotten to appreciate how fast and smooth the experience is, and how everything just works. The other advantages would be iMessage/FaceTime, which is really cool, having my phone work great together with my iPad, and the whole Apple ecosystem. Cameras are also top of the line, from what I've seen, and battery life is really good.
I know of the downsides with getting an iPhone, the biggest one would be the 3.5 inch screen. No matter how awesome, bright and sharp it is, it will take some getting used to, to go from a 4.3 inch screen to a 3.5 inch screen.
Other phones, like a Samsung or HTC are also available for me to get, this is just my top3. I'd really appreciate your input, and let me know what phone you'd get next in my situation... Thanks!
Based on your phone listing's looks like you have the GSM version. I would go with either the GN or the Note if it is not to big for you.
The GSM GN has pretty good battery life from what I have seen. The CDMA is not as good which is that I own. Needs the extended battery on CDMA to get decent life. There are a lot of people with the GSM version who get an average of 5 hours on-screen time. To me that is some pretty good battery life.
The downside like you said is only 16gigs of storage on the GSM GN without an SD slot. I just do not get that at all! Why only 16 on a device that cannot be expanded! Luckily the CDMA version came with 32gigs.
I owned the CDMA EVO 3D back in the day, then went to the Epic 4G touch which blows the 3D away. The GN is more in a league with the SGS2 then the EVO 3D. The GN is super smooth.
I personally stay away from Moto's, especially if you like to flash things...
I have been really fortunate not to have any trouble with my evo 3d. I also had the og evo before the 3d.
My next phone will not be htc though. Im very disappointed about ics being pushed back.
Anyway, from your list of phones to choose from i would not hesitate on switching. To the galaxy nexus. Ive had a chance to play around with it a few times and really love it. Updates will always be faster to and of course it comes with the new chip for mobile purchasing. Really comes down to your personal preference and needs really. Your listed phones are all great products. I will never purchase an apple product, but i know a lot of people that love them. Good luck to you.

There's no way of telling about the updates. Google's last flagship device has been completely ignored and won't get ICS. Doesn't really matter to me as I have faith in the xda community to get any updates on to it.

I'm Motorola Xoomin on you!
Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S2 i9100. Those two phones are by far the best supported phones development wise on this site. It's only going to get bigger with the GS2 likely decreasing if the GS3 makes a big enough impact.
No HTC phone besides the Sensation compares development wise right now. A few legacy devices here and there, but for the specs, the two phones I mentioned above cannot be beat right now.
I'm in the same boat, well I'm selling mine, I'm so disappointed in HTC, too many freezing up and restarting by itself on stock rom, moving on

Thanks! The one thing I REALLY liked about the Evo was the QHD screen. So I really don't want to go back to an 800*480 screen. The Moto Razr and Galaxy Nexus have pretty much the same CPU/GPU right? OMAP 4430/60

They more or less are the same CPU. I would head over to the Galaxy Nexus forums and learn more about their processor and how it actually is a pretty remarkable in performance. Google picked out nice specs for their flagship.

It's no slouch at all. It's just older which puts you under the illusion that it is weak. Compared to other dual core devices, there aren't huge differences.

Sold mine on Ebay. Bought a Epic4G touch. Not looking back. The only thing I appreciated about the Evo4G was the development community. Other than that, I'm getting twice the battery on a larger screen.
That would be my vote. And I paid full price for the Epic. Worth it.

Lol I saw you post in a thread the other day that your next phone will either be an iPhone or a windows phone haha
Evo3D.
evo 3d seems very cheap now for a (once high end) mid range phone.
I've had nothing but good luck with my Evo 3d and love it, only thing i dont like is the flimsy backing plate. From reading your post i cant help but ask were you rooted? There are tons of great roms and app mods available in the forums here, all solve numerous issues and improve upon stock in any number of ways.
As far as choosing a phone goes, if you can get a new 3d free I'd stick it out and wait to see what's available withing the coming months, MWC just finished up and there were tons of greats devices announced.
Otherwise GSII gets my vote.
