I have heard report that the Evo 4G Lte doesnt have the same display like the HTC One X. Instead of the SLCD 2,The Evo 4G Lte is using the IPS display with a 1280 x 720p HD resolution. So is the IPS display better than the SLCD2?

What I'm kind of wondering is if the 4g LTE will have any of the same screen problems/defects that the one x has been dealing with. I went through 5 one x's before just giving up and going back to my note until the new evo came out. Any thoughts?

Here is a copy of the thread that is going around for the OneX problems. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585082
As far as the issues I had, when I/you pressed on the screen it would at act like you were pushing on an lcd laptop screen, you know how you get the waves and ripples. I think it has to do with how the screen was attached on the oneX. The Evo seems to be put together a bit different I believe, at least from what I can see. I don't know I was really looking forward to the oneX and that kind of just ruined it, I'm hoping the Evo is the one for me.

Interesting however I think some of these problems is due to the high res on a small screen these companies are doing this for the first time can't expect them to he perfect go check out the gn and their screen issues common denominator here between all the new phones and diff manufactures is the high res.

I was thinking the same thing, but wouldn't that mean that all of them would be that way? From what I was reading through there some people had ones that were working fine without the problems.

Working fine without problems is hard to say tho some people don't see or can live with it so they don't speak up.

Hello everyone,
I currently on the 3d. I love this phone, don't get me wrong...and have no problem keeping it.
I have a financee who really wants the phone, and I agreed (because I love her) to give it to her in the next few months. I have an available upgrade.
I was thinking of getting another evo 3d, and then I thought maybe I would look at the SGS2...just because I love trying out new phones.
Anyway, it look like the next nexus will be coming out almost as soon as the SGS2.
What does everyone thing about this upcoming phone? It looks pretty great, do you really think we will get a October release date?
Again, I am not looking to be flamed, and I love this phone. Just looking for a friendly discussion.
I doubt it will be much better hardware wise than the SGS2.
The SGS3 however, is reported to get a 1280x720 Super AMOLED Plus display!

It should have a TI processor in it, so whether that is as good as the exynos (or whatever is in the galaxy s2 variants) is up to debate.
But the fact that it is pure android, along with the 720p screen should be a big advantage.
This biggest question is when it will be released on sprint.
No thoughts personally because im not interested in it. I guess if I was, I wouldn't have bought a 3D, but rather waited for it. So its irrevelent to me.
I understand that, I am just looking at having a interesting discussion on the phone.
You could always get it to try it out and if you find yourself missing your 3vo :-D you have 30 days to return it and swap it out

Does an October release look promising? If so... It would seem Samsung really missed the mark releasing their phones a month or less before the new nexus.
I know I'll be getting one... The Nexus device is the reference platform for any given generation of android. The N1 _still_ performs great. The NS4G stock experience is still the fastest and smoothest android experience I have ever had. Bar none. No competition, not even close.... And that's before overclocking and custom kernels. Not to mention it comes unlockable out of the box and already with the pure android experience... That is guaranteed to be first in line for updates.
The dual 1.5gHz and 1280×720 screen are also awesome... Likely a gig of ram, 8gig for Apps and 32gig internal storage.... Maybe even more of all of that... We still don't know for sure yet. NFC for sure.
Gonna miss HTC if they don't make it... But whatever. After seeing a NexusOne in action and owning a NexusS4G its a no Brainer now. It does what it want, out of the box and is the gold standard reference for the platform....
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I agree, though I have never owned a nexus.
But do you give the October release date rumors any credit?
I think you should go for the Photon. It's just as powerful as the Evo 3D. It's gotten good ratings so far.
And rumors are rumors. There really hasn't been any stern updates about the SGS3. You seem to don't need a phone right now. If not then wait it out, something is bound to come up then.

I'm more interested in this phone than the SGS2. I mean, it has 720p resolution on a phone! I love my qHD on my 3D. Some say it will drop in November. I'm still going to check out the SGS2 later today when I get out of work.

I think 16:9 is one of the best thing to happen to smart phones. It's the perfect aspect ratio. I hate the way my wife's Evo feels in my pocket, its too fat. Longer and thinner fits better.

Totally agree. The form factor of the E3D is so much better than the E4G. I also hope that Samsung doesn't go crazy with the screen size. I'm not really feeling the dimensions of the ET4G, it looks way too big, specifically- it seems far too wide. The E4G is as wide as I would ever like a phone to be and I am a big guy with big hands. A 4-4.3" screen would be perfect, in fact, if it followed the same form factor as the NS4G I would be quite pleased.
I do agree with the above poster. The radio issues with Samsung's last three phones on Sprint should be enough to make anyone skeptical. If the ET4G is without these problems then I will give the next Nexus a realistic consideration.

Im not a big fan of it,but you get used to it after a day or two, the shades of black look horrible, besides that and the lack of development its a good phone. The pros outweigh the cons.
I have 5 more days before to return my GS2. i have LOVED it, but im just thinking if i should just return it and get the new skyrocket? any help would be Very much appreciated. thank you
I say yes, love the big screen
Depends on what is important to you. Personally getting the Skyrocket was easy for me. I love the 4.5" screen.
If you care about benchmark stats, then the S2/exynos win.(the Skyrocket is still smooth as butter)
If you care about DPI then S2 wins, the Skyrocket has stretched the same res to 4.5", that said I came from the Infuse so it looks just as great as what made me purchase the Infuse in the first place.
If you have/will soon have (1-6months) LTE, then Skyrocket for sure.
Personally I also believe the Skyrocket will have a better resell value, due to LTE being upgraded over the next year. Anyone in an LTE city is not going to want someones S2 while the Skyrocket will likely still hold some value.
I don't know if it's just me, but going from a 4in screen (Captivate) to a 4.3in screen with the same resolution is not something I'm really liking. It's just everything becoming bigger on the screen. Going to 4.5in while keeping an 800x480 resolution is quite annoying.
I'm shocked Samsung didn't up the resolution for the GSGII line. Or atleast the Skyrocket.
qwertyaas
I agree. I wanted a bigger screen, not bigger buttons. Oh well. I'm still very happy with the ogsgs II.
Make a phone with a higher resolution and I'll be tempted.
But still the compatibility we have with the international version is awesome. One of the main points to appreciate about a phone is the dev support. Ogsgs II now has 'worldwide' support.

The Dev support is the major reason I picked up a SGSII on Sunday and not the Skyrocket. Coming from the Captivate, I know how Samsung and AT&T work. Firmware releases are lagged months behind the International version. Meaning, the SGSII will be getting i9100 ports while the Skyrocket might be waiting on AT&T or Tmobile to throw out ICS.
LTE is nice and all, but with my 2GB data I don't really stream videos at all. And the screen size is just getting too big for that resolution. It's one major reason I was considering the Vivid (until I held it in my hand).
The LCD Density can always be changed but it sometimes causes more issues than it fixes.
Samsung DOES have an HD version of LTE - AT&T too cheap to order it...?

Hey Qwerty...
Samsung did come out with an LTE version that has higher resolution, but AT&T didn't bother to order that unit in. In internation market it's known as the Samsung Galaxy SII LTE HD (720 X 1280 @ 720P)
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that AT&T wanted to keep the prices down for the initial offering of their LTE phones to compete with the iphone. Think $200 range and my guess is that the HD version will be priced too high to be competitive.
At any rate here are the specs on the HD version, please try not to salivate!

I saw that a while ago and was really hoping it would be released here. Sadly it's not, and I'm surely not willing to spend $600 on a phone off-contract!
If you have LTE in your area it's well worth the jump, data speeds are just insane. If you are expecting LTE sometime next year, I would assume there will be a better LTE phone available, probably with the higher res screen and possibly quadcore come summer of 2012
It's the same processor and size but higher density screen. But isn't it SAMOLED Plus so it is Pentile and not RGB I assume?
Anyone know where I can get it?
I was just at the AT&T store picking up a Skyrocket and noticed that the OG SGS2 isn't even out on display any more. It appears that they are pulling them already? Anyone else notice this? Did they decide to completely replace it already?

Some are pulling it temporarily to boast the Skyrocket.
And to the poster above, the SR and SGSII don't have the same processor if that's what you were referring to.
yea i think im gonna stick with my GS2 just on pure dev support. i just wish i would know if google nexus s was gonna come to att. and if so, when? then i could wait for that. that 1280x720 screen just is my golden ticket. i dont have lte network here and i doubt i will get it in the next 2-3 years.
Get the Skyrocket trust me you wont regret it, I didn't
There are just to many reasons on why you should get it, the LTE network is amazing. You may not have it but you will eventually. NFC is a great feature that once it gets going you will love it.
The screen is a really good as in the size, color, and everything compared to the ogsgs2 A large factor on the reason I think you should get it is the resell value, the phone is going to have a way greater resale value and once a better phone comes out that you absolutely want to get, you could easily sell the skyrocket for alot more than you would get for the ogsgs2.

Haha, almost in the same situation as you, dropped my Sensation from 50ft, had to go back to my Nexus One for two months and hated it after having a big screen, front facing camera, and dual core proc. I recently got an Amaze off insurance and man, this thing kills the Sensation feature wise. The only difference is about 256MB more ram (which really helps), NFC, and a 1.5GHz stock speed (instead of the stock speed of 1.2GHz on the Sensation, but you could overclock without any ill effects to 1.5GHz). But if you can shell out the extra cash, get the Amaze. The only gripes I have right now are some light bleeding from the capacitive buttons but you can turn them off with screen filter, and it's a little bit bulkier, but barley noticeable.
Amaze.
Amaze goes up to 42MB with HSPA+
Sensation goes up to 14.4MB. It doesn't have HSPA+.
Amaze has a 1.5GHz Dual Core
Sensation has a 1.2GHz Dual Core
Amaze runs really smooth. My brother has the Sensation and my phones runs better.
Plus hes running my old rom he will want to come here
I say if you like roms, get sensation, amaze forums are a ghost town comparatively my gf sold her sensation to get an amaze, and that lasted only a week, it was a downgrade

sensation has been out longer than the amaze. amaze has only been out for about two months where as the sensation has been out for six months...we are getting more roms, themes and support as time passes...My gf has the sensation and I'll tell you the Amaze feels much better, besides the flash bleed into the camera (easy fix), you are getting the best camera on the market...doesn't even compare to the sensation camera, I've played with both...I don't like the feel of the sensation...Overall amaze is a much better phone with some downfalls...like the screen bleed which I didn't even notice until people started mentioning it...and the camera flash bleed which is fixable with electrical tape...we have faux and xboarder and I think three other developers working on roms etc...I'm will talk to koush and see if he is willing to invest a little time in our community...I want to appreciate all the developers for their help.

The Sensation will be a year old 4 months, the Amaze is pretty new for all the devolopment it has. It will get better over here once we get CM fully working and ICS rolling. The Amaze also is more future proof with HTC updating it and has a much better camera. the RAM helps a lot too, that was one thing that bugged me about mine. i hated only have about 120mb of ram with just fb open or something
Ahh ok I'm deff gonna get the amaze then.. and what do you guys mean by bleeding? And yeah xboarder I liked your roms a lot when I had my G2, one of the most stable roms so ill deffinetley try yours firste when I get it my only thing is on the T-Mobile sit it didn't say anything about the Amaze having hotspot?

The capacitive buttons underneath the screen (home, menu, back, and search) when they light up the bottom of the screen is noticably brighter. So if you have a black screen and the buttons are lit up then for an inch or so at the bottom it will gradient from a lighter shade to actual black. There are some pictures in a thread called screen bleeding on the second or third page of this forum that show it.
I just downloaded Screen Filter which disables the light to the buttons like the previous poster mentioned which stops the screen bleeding.
And yea get the Amaze for sure, best phone I've had. Battery is a little lacking but with this ROM + perhaps an AceSoft battery (2 for $30) you may get decent life.
The amaze is a better phone to the sensation in every I can't use my amaze right now and I'm using the sensation and I hate after using the amaze even with ics the amaze is just smoother and a better phone. The camera, processor speed, data speeds, build quality, front cam, storage, nfc, and battery for me are all better then the amaze. The only advantage of the sensation is that it has more roms but x here does some great stuff and slowly more devs may get this phone as its still a pretty spendy device.

Mt friend got a Sensation and we noticed the Mic was not working well. Sound quality on voice calls were noticably bad. Maybe it was specific to that unit, idk?
My Amaze doesn't have that problem or any others for that matter.
Just short battery life!
Other than that, it is hands down the best smart phone I've had yet, it actually does everything, simultaneously.

I'm thinking of switching to an Amaze. Does it have a bitrate selector for 720p video? (I'm not too interested in 1080p video at this time.)
Thanks

I'm thinking about getting an Amaze.
I have been plagued with the dust issue on the Sensation.
I am only unsure because of the lack of development.
But there are many familiar faces here.

The sensation is a fantastic phone, the Amaze is just newer and better, doesnt mean the Sensation is crap, youd be pretty happy with either
seriously??

How do you figure it's a COMPLETE downgrade? S4 as compared to our S3, bigger battery, ICS based to name a couple of the perks... I'm not flaming either, just really curious on your opinion as you seem to be pretty with it around here. Don't think it being a droid branded phone will give it more pimp status with verizon?

I wouldn't call it a complete downgrade but to name a few things the Rezound has over it..
1.2Ghz vs 1.5 Ghz
4 inch screen vs 4.3 inch screen
540 x 960 vs 720 x 1280 resolution
Other than ImageSense, meh. S4 would be nice I guess, but all it'll do is bump my benchmarks.

I agree, seems like an upgrade except for screen resolution. Sense 4.0, S4, 1GB ram, this thing should scream.

The speed of the proc is meaningless the s4 kills the s3. The s3 is a retarded stepchild lol. Screen resolution though is a big bummer... Only a 4 inch screen is a bummer too... :-(
In b4 HTC Droid Incredible 4G HD (one x) now THAT would make me jump ship xD

You REALLY need to read up on the S4 processor if you think that's a downgrade... GHz is only a small part of the equation of processor performance.
I didn't see it had an S4
But otherwise it's not to appealing to me
The rezounds screen has spoiled me

It's the rezound's cute little brother!
Yes the s4 gets better benchmarks than s3 and looks to be a great processor. But in real world speeds you are not going to notice a difference....I mean how long does it take you guys to open an app now...like half a second. And with custom roms I get great battery. Not really worth downgrading screen for the inc4g.

4.0" screen?!
super amoled you won't get my love until you make more 4.3" screens your holder >XO
that phone darn well ties with the Rezound if it's not worse, and Verizon probably plans to market the dang thing for $299.99 compared to the $50 I forked out for an arguably better original
Wait for HTC phablet. Quadcore galaxy note competitor

I'll probably like the inc 4g's form factor better cuz I have small hands. But, like others have said I love the Rezound's screen. Watching hulu, netflix, and surfing the web on the Rez is a joy.
I am surprised that the inc 4g is not much thinner than the Rezound.
I am jealous of the s4 processor though. Its more efficient and drains less battery on 4g. I also underclock my rez to 1.2 ghz anyway.
The inc 4g is a great phone, but I would miss the rez's beautiful screen too much. If I had not upgraded yet, I would jump on this.

For starters the S4 @ 1.2ghz > S3 @ 1.5ghz, in benches the S4 destroys the S3. But for all your normal usage you won't see much of a difference. 3D games and possibly loadtimes and probably webpage rendering is where you'll notice the difference mainly. Why they would stick a qHD screen on any new device is beyond my understanding. 4 v 4.3 meh no big deal.
It doesn't look bad. I don't really see it getting more devs than this phone. It just looks like a smaller rezound pretty much. With the exception of image sense and the S4 with the smaller lower rez screen, it may get a little better battery life (probably not enough to matter). I just see it fading into the background fairly quickly... The rez to me seems a little more high end even though its older.
The Inc4g just seems kind of blah to me I guess
well i was at my sprint store today to pay my bill and im kinda cool with one of the dudes that works there.. so he like come check out the new samsung gs3.. now he know's i like htc.. so i said screw it ill play around with it see what it got.. well he asking bout my lte and im telling him i love it ect.. so as im playing with it i ask him if he ever heard of quadrant or linpack.. he said no! so i show him on the gs3.. i did 2 quadrant tests both was 4700 range and linpack i did like 5 runs and it went from like say 140-190 it jump around alot just like it does on my lte.. my lte does better than the gs3!!! i kno people say quadrants aint sh*T but that made me feel so good to see my HTC LTE kick the gs3 a$$.. on my lte i get like around 5100 on quadrant and linpack like 140-215.. its stays around like 200 the most.. yes i am rooted not stock.. but i was geting the same when it was stock.. thats my word.. this phone kicks a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!:victory:
I went to the Sprint store today, and compared my phone to the GS3. The screen was not as bright and the whites weren't white. I read people saying that but I was honestly surprised how dull it was. Plus the keyboard on Sense rules IMO.
I just wish I had the weather on the lockscreen like them. It's pretty awesome.

Yep, this phone is a beast!
I compared them at the store.. Also my brother has the S3 from Sprint, so I really compared them...
The blacks on the SIII screen are absolutely amazing and destroy the EVOs, although that is where the advantages end... The screen on the EVO is MUCH more clear (especially with text), you cannot see pixels on the EVO, because it is not pentile like the SIII......in fact you can see so the pixels so well on the SIII, that it almost does not even look like a 720p display. Also every other color, besides black is head and heals above the SIII..........the whites too on the SIII are blueish....most everything has a bluish tint, besides the blacks. Finally, things are a bit blurry on the SIIIs display, while on the EVO 4G LTE, it is crystal clear.........so the display is obviously far better on the EVO.
Reception.........no comparison here, since it is well known the SIII has radio issues. Although on the same table (not holding), the EVO 4G LTE gets full bars, while the SII gets 2 and the SIII gets 4. So the reception on this phone is far better than the SIIIs, which is also what they said at the sprint store.
Camera.............of course I also compared this... The camera and video recording is a tad bit better on the EVO and in video recording, the SIII records sound oddly, while the EVO does not.
Performance... yep, oddly enough the SIII performs a good amount worse. The best I seen was 4700 quadrant on a clean ROM and all apps closed on the SIII, while my EVO with MEANrom gets 5271. The most noticable thing is that the memory performance on the EVO is faster than the SIII, so it's memory must be a bit better, despite having less than the SIII. It also seems in benchmarks like OpenGL Egypt offscreen, the EVO still outperforms the SIII.
The only thing I am jelly about with the SIII, is that the darn thing is butter smooth! Every menu is just pure buttery goodness on that phone. Although I attribute that to the fact that HTC's Sense performs far worse..
Other than that, I love this phone. My 14 day trade in time expires in 2 days and now I know for sure I am sticking with this beautiful phone!
I know about that but they do it different. You can keep your background instead of HTCs way of doing it. Wish I had that.

You people must have amazing eyes. I always see people complain about seeing the pixels on the S3 screen. I don't see them. The colors seem vibrant and the blacks are truly black. It's a very nice screen to me. I prefer the EVO LTE but there is definitely nothing wrong with the S3 screen. I sometimes feel we exaggerate things for the sake of feeling better about our phones lol.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I agree about the screen. If you hold them both side by side and find an app on both phones with the same white background, you can clearly see a difference. This phone is noticeably brighter and I really don't like how the AMOLED screens on the Samsung phones turn everything to a bluish green hue.
Try it and you'll see what I'm talking about.

People typically feel the need to ensure themselves that their purchase was worth it. That's one of the causes of a lot of arguments here.

On the S3, "Graininess" can be seen at about 18 inches for me... unacceptable. Every device has pros/cons. EVO's pro is the screen. S3's pro is 2GB & Wolfson DAC. I waited for the S3...and still chose the EVO.
