Stressing out... Over a phone... Seriously?
And as stated when you posted in the wrong forum, people don't generally make custom ROMs for phones that they can't test their ROM on.
Be patient dude. Development is gonna explode in the next week or so when people start to get the device. Tons of great devs are coming over.

This phone has great specs. Get it. The iPhone is usually a little behind but over hyped. I didnt like the nexus because of the plastic feel and lower resolution screen
Aren't there more important things to lose sleep over?

I am betting he is making a joke based upon all the tardanic threads this forum has to offer and everyone seeming to get butt-hurt about the ship dates and the like. Then you have the constant, should I get this or wait crowd. The Sprint won't give me free stuff crowd. The I wish it had XXX feature group. This forum and many others are full of crybabies. It is a phone. It is only a few hundred dollars off contract. If a few hundred dollars off contract is a lot of money to you, you probably need to switch up your priorities and not buy expensive phones.
EDIT
If he wasn't, he needs to seek psychiatric treatment. Possibly be deemed a ward of the state too.
I'd say wait for the next iPhone.

Last year when i purchased my evo3d sprint was paying $125-$150 for my old evo plus giving $75-$85 per line on early extensions. When a company does something like that it will cause a person to sit back and wait for a good deal to come along. Good forums like this one, that pass these deals on, sometimes allow us to get a great phone for next to free. I'm still shopping for an evolte with the same money i used on my original evo. (I'm not a troll, I"m just cheap)

I understand wanting to get a good deal. I just don't understand all the *****ing about it when Sprint tries to turn a profit. I only paid $125.00 for the LTE I ordered, I am sure my EVO 3D will sell for close to $200. I expense it, so it doesn't matter regardless. I bought my Treo 650 outright though for $650, at the time it was a great phone. It is just money, I'll make more.

LMAO! I thought I was bad
While I'm excited about this device, I'm still on Sprint's network in an area that didn't have WiMAX, let alone 4G.
So . . . I'm not willfully upgrading until Sprint gets LTE in my area. Then I'll ask myself that same question: new iPhone, new whatever Android, or new BlackBerry (heh, you never know -- they might come back with THE BOMB!!) . . . until then, my HTC E3D rooted, unlocked and unstocked will suffice.

If you are serious.
It sounds like you like ROMs, right? Than means you like the whole development aspect of android phones. Then why the hell are you even considering a iphone?
I just can't fathom how somebody can't choose between one or the other.
If you want the status symbol and to be like everybody else, and you like to be spoon fed - go with the iPhone.
If you want something that is more than a phone, almost a hobby, something you can theme and Mod w/ bumps in the road - go Android (and this phone is the beast of Android right now).
If you like to tinker with the phone, go android. If you like things dumb'd down, go iphone.

No need, this phone comes with a whole row of blue teeth, but they will come in an optional firmware update that turns one of your cameras into an x-ray camera.
Just got off the phone with Sprint.. they said an apple fanboy infiltrated Sprint (as a CSR) and is telling everyone not to buy it. He was caught and fired.

F THAT! My wife has a friend who just happens to work for Sprint. she got her hands on the phone, her own, today! I played with it. the 24th can not come soon enough.
say what you want I have no pics to prove it but I wasn't going to spend my 5 minutes with it taking pictures. I wanted hands on time. personally 3D isn't bad I think people are expecting too much, more than anything. 3d Photo's are awesome. and the 1.2 dual core, and 1GB Ram. what is waiting? hands down butter smooth and fast. So responsive the phone moves as fast as you do at times, and you end up in places you aren't aiming for. I'll take that ANY day!
Ah I'm in love. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! If you really take the 3D as an added feature, and take in everything in minus 3D it's everything you dreamed of. My wife wasn't as impressed 3D, but she also admitted she expected the 3D to be more "movie like". whatever. she thought everything else about it was great and she owns the shift.
Also I think sense 3.0 is sweet. granted I'm coming from a samsung moment so ANYTHING other than samsungs crap is better in my eyes, but think the lock screen features are great.
Not a review Just sayin' there is NO WAY I'm waiting a month.
alright now I need to get rid of my hard on.
And she's yelling at me for telling people about playing with her phone before she left the house. apparently I need to say bye and thank you.
Maybe they've been reading the reviews....
Other than the awesome camera, and slim unibody design, this Evo LTE really isn't that much better than my old Photon. I'll probably feel differently when LTE is live, but considering there's not even WiMax in Wisconsin, it wasn't that much of an upgrade.
However, Sprint made a mistake and said I was eligible for an upgrade 7 months into my 2 yr contract, and my charging port on the Photon broke...so I'm not really complaining
Basically, if it's time to upgrade, go for it...but if your phone is only a year old, or less, I'd wait - unless you're in a first wave LTE market.

Thanks for the input.. But u forgot the 720p display.. Which sucked on the photon.. The way improved soc etc.. I don't know why ppl feel the need to post comments like this.. Just chime in on another thread (there's alot of them) thanks
It's one of the best phones... Globally lol! You only have that say for like a few months. Take a dump on that Photon & call it scientific.
Everything's awesome & no one is happy.

If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.
If this phone isn't that good then could you name a phone that's better? The GS3? Maybe a bit nicer maybe not? If you're looking for something better then you might be waiting for something that's not even out yet.
Did he really just compare the Photon to the EvoLTE???

I get what the op is saying about the not worth it if the phone you have is a yr old or less. He is one of the few people that obviously don't upgrade to every increment.
And that he liked his photon enough just like a lot on the 3d couldn't see the point in upgrading to this email phone. Now until we get some hd apps other then hulu the screen is nice. I netflix hd would be a improvement as well as hulu in hd. I have no clue what performance is like on the photon. When it came out it was full of lag. And besides he was giving his thoughts switching from one to another right place meh maybe he could have put it I will another thread bu yeab.

That's how I feel when ppl say stuff like this.. Besides the lack of LTE atm what phone hardware wise is better.. Even with the gs3 u may get more ram (which is nice) but u lose the metal unibody and overall better build
This phone is a major step up from most of Motorola's phones which use crappy screens.
It's also the smoothest HTC phone I've had, and the audio is actually better than the iPhone that it replaced, and that is saying a lot because HTC headphone outs have always been crappy to me

I saw the duel core as an upgrade but on this phone, some things work soso. Word to the wise, coming from a real general customer. Shape up or I will take what I got and move back to a simple texting phone on a CHEAPER carrier.

It's more about smartphones reaching a plateau.. There isn't but so much you can do.
You can keep adding cores, but for what? The technology for the cpu, gpu and everything else is at a really good point right now so upgrades aren't gonna be as big. It's the same thing when it comes to software upgrades.
Jelly Bean is a small upgrade when compared to some previous versions of android. Maybe you're waiting for a phone to rub your back and clean your house.. That isn't coming until Android 37.1 so you'll be waiting a while

I think the OP is upset because some things that work great on an older phone seem to have regressed with this phone (if I'm interpreting correctly).
I do understand in a way - some things that have gone backwards have no good reason to do so (things like the WiFi issue and the fact that the signal of this phone is not as strong as the original EVO, plus the volume is lower).
However, overall, this phone is absolutely awesome. Those little things will be fixed OP, don't fret.

I'm not sure what kind of leaps and bounds you're expecting cell phone manufacturers to make these days, but phones are still improving quite a bit. You must be talking about Apple releasing the same device every year with one or two incremental upgrades.
Glad I got some attention. I know that everything is moving forward, but do you think the general population (nonrooters) should have a phone that works as prescribed? Or are we really bata testing the public. Come on.....we are relying on Toyota to not fix the throttle problem again. I want only a cell phone to work as the specks say, or dang close to it in past Experience.

I am feeling...well...I don't know what to do ...I am kinda at the point now that I really want out. Where are you guys at if your're in our position? I am kinda wanting out at this point.

I don't think these kind of threads are going to do any good. In fact these threads and posts are the reason why devs abandon projects/phones.
One thing is giving feedback, another is filling forums with useless stupidity.
Maybe we should make a thread collecting a bounty for a new unlock method.

Tried that already. I don't know what the one dude is complaining about, to me the DNA is still a sweet phone. I hope some DEVs are working their skill and trying to unlock the new FW, but if not I'll live and not be a jerk to other people here. Since I've joined XDA I have had nothing but positive experinces with help rooting and modding a few phones. If they end up leaving the DNA no worries and if they work on the new FW that would be super great too and appreciated by many.
I feel bad for you guys that are still locked, but I wouldn't be concerned about it not happening... IMO the devs working on it are extremely talented and the chances of it staying locked are very slim. If there's a will, there's a way. Also, I don't know if this still applies to our phones, but for what it's worth most of the recent Moto phones, including my bionic, had locked bootloaders and they were still rooted and ROM'd. My bionic had root, a TWRP-based recovery, 3 custom roms, and it was overclocked... All with a locked bootloader. The only thing I couldn't do was use a custom kernel. Have faith, it will happen.
I should also add, if you are just too impatient to live without a rooted phone, that's understandable, I'm sure you guys are just itching to mod it. But if you really like the phone, just be patient. It will come in time.
Wow, lots of Internet tough guys in here.

I've seen several bounty threads go pretty far. The last one I recall was the root exploit for the XT912 Droid Razr on JB. Djrbliss did pretty well for himself with that.

I know with the Razr, the op lost track as once djrbliss posted the root exploit people were just sending in donations without saying how much. It was at close to a grand when the root was released and then all hell broke loose.
They're at $450 for an unlock for the Atrix HD (pigs will fly first when dealing with Motorola).
The samsung galaxy s3 on vzw got to $3,800 before they unlocked that.
I understand people develop android without being compensated, but hell if a large group of people just start waving money around.... It motivates people. I'd love to see a bounty started. I'm just not too sure how many people would be into it.
We don't even have an R&D thread anymore, the outdated unlock thread was turning into that before it got locked.
All I know is with complacency, our beloved DNAs will fall into obscurity pretty fast.

Dude,
The OTA has been out for how long? Do you realize that when the DNA first came out it took a long time to get to where we were pre-OTA.
If you don't wanna wait then sell the damn phone. As far as your whole "we, the people own the airwaves" comment....
LOOOOOOOOL!

I'm still waiting for you or someone else to tell me what I said that wasn't accurate? You do realize the FCC does license the waves lengths to the phone companies. They pay a large sum of money for this privilege. And like I said already, the FCC being an entity of the federal government, we the tax payers own the commission. So by proxy, we license the bands to companies like verizon or sprint.
Or maybe you can put me on track?

That's like saying you can ignore the speed limit because taxes pay for roads.

I really like the Evo branding, with the kickstand and stylized red & black body. My contract is up in 2014 Spring, so I hope they push out a new EVO line around that time.
Do you think there is sufficient chance Sprint will do this? :highfive:
Fingers crossed.

Hopefully they don't fail a second time by putting the charge port in a bad place preventing the kickstand from working while charging...epic fail for HTC designers on our LTEvo.

Evol line is dead I think. Just my opinion, but they should really focus on 1 high end brand/series which looks like the ONE

The charging port being where it's at makes using docks much much easier than it being on the bottom.
I, too, think that the EVO line is dead. Thus has been a debate ever since the One was in the works. We might get something that is like a new Evo, and I wouldn't doubt that somebody will say that "Xxxx Phone" is the new Evo.

Then why didn't they flip the kickstand? I knew you could do that, not rocket science, thanks anyways for your two sense. The angle at which the phone sits in reverse is lower than when the kickstand is used as designed, so it is not the same. I never said they should have put the charging port at "the bottom", HTC could have simply placed the kickstand in reverse to allow the phone to charge with the cable on top and docking could still work as most docking stations won't ever use the kickstand to assist in holding the phone on the docking station.

sort of expecting an announcement end of this year or beginning of next. If anyone remembers how sprint/HTC roll there is a top tier phone every 2 years with a decent device every other year. Evo og year one, year 2 evo 3d, year 3 evo lte, year 4 HTC one (though this is better than decent)....what's for year 5? Honestly I can't really imagine anything better than the ONE so soon but, stranger things have happened. I also can't see evo's being dead. Before the galaxies, evo was the top selling series of phones for sprint. Guess we can hypothesize all night long but those are my 2 cents.

I'm fine with that but seems to early since "leaked" pictures are rolling out everywhere. Plus HTC is pushing for re branding. Could be huge things in wake. I'm kind of getting excited. Desperate times for a company who can get their chit together rather than flopping, can potentially pull of some amazing feats to leave us drooling.
lets hope not

Heaven forbid! This version was buggy enough for 2 phones.
The Evo line has a bad rep.
This will be the last.
Dumbest thread I've ever seen. What the F does it matter what name a phone has.?!
If HTC sticks to One that would be good marketing. . this Evo line is BS
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
What does a name matter? Go all the way back to the OG. It was special compared to it's family members on other networks. They needed upgrades to match it. That's why it matters. That's also why the OG took off and is still holding on this long after going EOL. Not named EVO it won't be purchased by me.
For that I can say that I think I read back before the One released that dropping 2 different versions of the device was costing HTC to much so now it is intended that only 1 version will be created to encompass all carriers and One is the name they liked. But Sprint is really beginning to have a bad habit of not selling a lot of the better phones so who knows how much longer they will even sell HTC. Sucks pretty bad when I gotta give up Sprint just to get a BlackBerry. Don't hope for Nokia either and with the reports coming that Apple is dropping i5 and i4 and possibly even i4s from production you may not find them much longer either. HTC better do something great to save them.
Its not Sprint's fault HTC doesn't sell. How many commercials in comparison have you seen of anything Samsung versus HTC or advertisement in general? HTC in my opinion has much better products versus just about everyone else yet no one will agree because they don't advertise worth a damn. Word of mouth is all they've been for so many years. Yeah its sorta worked but Samsung kinda surpassed by a bit. Can't wait to see how this Downey Jr thing won't go. Think HTC is more or less making a fool out of themselves with their ways of promoting devices when they should get their s together and make a convicing argument to the average consumer looking to support a new device. Eh, my 2 pennies for the jar.
