MY 1st impressions - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Well today I made it a point to go to the Sprint Corporate store to handle a EVO 4G LTE, and left totally amazed. I didn't pick one up because last year my EVO 3D performed like crap when I 1st picked it up. It was freezing and dropping calls until I replace it with a Photon.
So I figure I don't need a phone now and will wait a few weeks to see what head aches it has software wise with bugs. This is because 15 days is not log enough to find bugs and its unfair to buy a phone and be stuck with a a fail.
That said I like the thought of GSIII, but after handling this phone and how gorgeous it looks I say that the LCD 2 screen, SVDO and HD voice makes it the best android device on the market along with its camera performance. When I 1st looked at it I thought it was a demo unit with the screen that brilliant until I picked it up and interacted with it.
Speeds are blazing, there is no lag sense is not over whelming, and I just can't see anyone hating on this device based on my interface. for the 1st time I don't feel the need to use any other launcher. I feel that if there are no bugs that I can just use it and go until the next 800 LTE drops.
I barley use Wimax so going to this until LTE arrives in NYC will be fine for me. The user experience is that good IMHO. Some of you think sticking with and old device is better until LTE arrives, and that's ok. I say if you want a light weight phone that performs superbly until LTE don't be afraid to try this. Just hope that there are no bugs, or that they are just minimal like I am.

Have been enjoying mine for about 4 hours today with no problems. VERY please coming from the original Evo 4G

Just gave my 3D to my wife and picked up the EVO LTE. Screen is amazing. Phone is very well put together and very thin! Makes the 3D feel like a dated bulky dinosaur.

Your OP just caused me to forsee the next worst phone name (not that I really give 2 squirts about the name, personally) HTC Evo 4g 800 LTE lol

What really surprised me was how amazingly light the phone is..

Just wondering if any OG EVO owners switching to the 3D have a slight feeling being down or sad?
I'm feeling kinda bummed to leave the OG EVO.

haha! I feel ya man. I didn't even want to activate the 3d right away. I got my OG Evo sitting to my left on the nightstand though, playing some tunes for me. I couldn't bear to get rid of it, I'll at least have it for a backup, or to fall back on in a jam once the rooting and flashing starts, lol.
I'm in total agreement with this.
i'm bouncing to and fro trying to decide if i should get one.
i mean i love the original EVO and Koni's IV hasn't even come out yet!
Cant decide, but if my buddy that works for sprint keeps pressuring me, i'm probably going to jump the OG EVO ship!
I'm going to use my of EVO mainly as my gps system. I have the tetrax magnet thing and I don't want to do that to my 3d.

I just got my 3D this morning, and I keep looking over at my EVO longingly.
nothing against the Evo3D, it's kindof awesome, and playing with the 3D stuff is fun! )even converted a couple 2D pictures to 3D...ya know, for funsies.)
but, I missing flashing. I think I'm going to finally flash MIUI. watch, I'll regret never flashing it before.
You know, the OG has served me well. I had what I felt was the perfect ROM & kernel combo for me. I had t osell mine to Sprint to minimize out of pocket costs for the E3D. I actually said "bye bye" to it as it laid on the counter at the store. But, I look at it like upgrading car models. You're not abandoning the brand, just upgrading. Like going from a 2010 Mustang GT(with the 4.6 320hp V8) to a 2011 Mustang GT(with a 5.0 412hp V8)...a good thing made better. All without abandoning the brand!
I made both of.em stream me some music.from the Google.beta.. they were in unison and everything.. the start of a healthy 3 way love affair!!

did you have to unroot it before trading it into sprint?
And, does the 150 dollar "credit" come off the price of the phone if you buy it there, or, is it a credit on your airtime bill?
thanks
Sprint don't care about root or if it works for that mater. I put together one from pieces I has laying around board with clean esn. 150 off the phone 300. Rebate phone cost 50 bucks. The 300 is. 150 upgrade and 150 rebate. Good luck

Although the new evo screen in sharp, I have to say I like the look of the evo screen better. I like the bigger look to it and the glossy screen. I'm sure I will get use to it but I have the 2 sitting side by side for the time being and it's much bigger on the evo.
Absolutely, dwntwnall4u, and I'm going back! Sorry, no buggy 3vo for me. Have one, down-trading tomorrow. I can't find ANYTHING I like more about the 3vo, except for its' questionable 3D effect. It'll get better (updated, upgraded) I'm sure. But for now......OG 4G (rooted) with Gingebread.

Honestly was the Evo3d worth getting?

I have always been HTC lover. Since the pp6700 I had every htc flagship smartphone. True they were not perfect, which was why I ditched my evo for epic.
Better in a lot of ways but has problems of it's own. Ended up hating the galaxy as well. Well I wanted to come back to htc before catching wind of the S2
But I see in this forum of many build quality problems well scattered thought the device. Seems rushed product? Seems more faults then epic and evo together when released.
Just wanted to know what others feel.

Its definitely worth it if you get a good one. People act like its such a huge request to look at the phone prior to leaving the sprint store... If there is something wrong with the one they bring you, just tell them you want a different one.
I'm happy with mine. Even with my monocular vision.

I am on my second device (EVO 3D). I killed the first because I did a drunken swim (lil drunk right now in case this post doesn't make much sense ) and forgot it was in my pocket. The first had 1 dead pixel, only noticible when using an app to look for them and even then, I was the only one of the 3 people I asked who could actually see it. Other than that, the build quality on both phones has been outstanding. IMHO those who complain, for the most part, are those who would complain about just about anything and are looking for things to ***** about. The 3D is superior to the OG EVO in every way (with the exception of root). Is it the difference I had from my old Touch Diamond to my OG EVO, no, absolutely not. It is an evolutionary improvement with the added feature of 3D. I think the build quality of the 3D is night-and-day better than the build quality of the OG EVO, but that's just my opinion. Is it worth getting? I wouldn't go back to my old EVO, the decision is really to each his/her own.
I'm happy with mine too... Just that it lags pretty bad when scrolling in the market and some apps.... But I guess could be fixed by a update.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
This is definitely an upgrade to my old EVO by a longshot. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth getting? Yes.
Sense 3.0 at its best, Camera is better, shutter button is a welcome addition, the screen is better, Stock speed is faster than EVO rooted, the graphics WOW, 1Gig RAM, a gig of UA storage & the 3D is fun as hell. It's one core alone is better & it has 2 of them. Most of the developers from the EVO 4G will develop for the EVO 3D.
I can cry about it not having permanent root but that's just a matter of patience.
You have 30 days to make that call for yourself, you might feel differently or even better about it.

Mature people here. I got used to the samsung side of xda lol.
See a lot of nonbiased replies. And I agree with a lot that was said here.
I do have my eyes out for the S2, but I will definitely take advantage of the 30day grace period and take the 3d for a spin.
I'm intrigued at the thought of taking 3d porn lol honestly anyone try it?? Hehe

Definitely worth it for me. I had my Evo 4G for less than a year, sold it for $240, and got the full upgrade price of $199 so it cost me nothing extra except one extra year on contract to get a better new phone.
I love the Evo 3D. And anyone who b*tches about it all the time cuz their screen is a lil bit yellow instead of white, or they got shipped with kingston instead of scan or w/e can just take it back n get the samsung instead and let the rest of us actually enjoy this beast. It's one of the best phones out there and the only 3D phone that is worth buying and that 3D feature got me laid, so STOP b*tchin. Not aimed at the thread starter.
Yep
Bussin Caps n 3D

Should I buy the damn phone or not?

I keep seeing these "I love my phone" threads or "I'm returning my phone" thread and all it does to me is make me indecisive. My upgrade is available on August 1st and I want to know if it's worth it. I am an evo 4g user since last year and i want to know from someone who enjoyed the evo since day 1 the difference between the two phones. By the way I am not planning on getting a gs2. Thanks guys.
UPDATE : Bought the damn phone and then I rooted the damn thing and I overclocked it and I am loving it. Thank god my account was eligible for an upgrade on August 1st while root was out. Patience is a virtue.

I had the Evo 4G since launch day, used it all year, and upgraded to the Evo3D on launch day as well. It is definitely an upgrade from the Evo 4G. The qHD screen is superior, the smoothness of the UI is awesome, sense 3.0 is cool, the processor and gpu are both beasts, and 90% of the devs that worked on the Evo4g are here for the Evo3D as well. The only thing the Evo has on the 3d (IMO) is full root and custom roms/kernels. However, we are very close to having that on the 3D as well. (hopefully) So to answer your question, yes I think you would enjoy the upgrade from the Evo4g. The power of this phone is amazing, even stock. The battery life is superior to the Evo too. And things are only going to get better from here, once we have S-off.
You just sold an evo 3d. Now the indecisive feeling is gone and getting this phone thank you very much.

What he said. I have both phones still. The only issue I have run into with the phone is wireless speeds. I am in the sticks, and pretty sure I am usually roaming on Verizon 1x towers. When I was in a big city over the weekend, Colorado Springs, the 4G speeds were pretty stinking awesome! 3G left a lot to be desired though. I have read up on it a bit, talked with those who I thought would know more than me, and did the 3G speed fix. So far, is loads about 200kbps regardless of signal strength. If you can look past that, you're set. I am pretty sure I'll be sticking this device out for as long as Devs are willing to work on it. Keeping fingers crossed for all of the fun possibilities that this POWERFUL device will bring when kinks are worked out.
Buy it you won't regret it!

For me, i was torn between evo3d and nexus s, i ended up with the 3d and for my first 30 i considered trading for the nexus, if it had just a few more features i probably would have traded for it. Now i wish i would have waited for the samsung s2.
Do i like the phone? Yes
Was it worth $200 to upgrade from the evo? No
But i sold my evo back to sprint for $150, so for a $50 upgrade from the evo it was worth it. Although i still wish i would have heald off for the new samsung coming out
Everything everyone wants in a custom rom and everything every custom rom advertises for the OG EVO is already in the 3D stock, plus the 3d features and more. Yes. Buy the damn phone! It hasn't even been rooted yet. This means where the OG EVO is being pushed to its limits, the 3D's true potential hasn't even been tapped yet.
Yes. Phone is awesome, even without full root.
I love my 3vo. But to each their own. Make sure the screen isn't crooked before they activate it.
Battery life is awesome. Way far superior than the OG 4G.
The ONLY think I like about the OG 4G is the width of the screen. I wish the 3vo was the same width. The 3vo seems a little top heavy in my hands. But it is so minor that I'll soon forget about it.

I will likely be a EVO lifer. I purchased the EVO 4G on launch and bought the EVO 3D on launch, like many on here have previously stated. I loved my EVO 4G and I love this phone as well.
With or without root (which will come) this phone is beastly. I cannot guarantee that you will like it since I do not know of your previous phone history/preferences but I am assuming that your not a stranger to the smartphone/Android/HTC arena?
Thanks for the replies guys. Also I would like to know what defects should I look for in the phone b4 I can take it out of the store.

Great phone but with Sprint's version of the GSII (Within) just passing through the FCC yesterday I would personally wait a few weeks. Looks like the GSII is coming soon. I personally will be getting it but I walk around with 2 phones. If I only had one upgrade I would wait till you get a firm release date so you can at least have that 30 day window in case you don't like the 3D & want to go with the GSII (Within). But both are great phones so I guess the decision is ultimately whether you prefer Samsung over HTC. I personally think Samsung wins the hardware battle just sucks when it comes to software and support of their products. Also the big time devs are in the 3D's corner right now.

Had the Samsung Epic and gave up on Samsung providing any updates over a year or more. Always saw HTC updates in the forums. I will not be done in again by sightly better hardware verses superior software support. I'm in HTC's camp from now on.

HTC EVO One ... whos jumping ship?

Evo 3D owners, who will be jumping ship for the EVO One? My area I live in will be getting LTE in the KC roll out so definitely a plus. My main concern is that the phone can be S-OFF... I hope somebody can find a way. I waited to get the EVO 3D til it got S-OFF... but that LTE will be so tempting.

I will. This will definitely be good since they aren't going "LOLOLOLO QUAD CORE 5000GHZ" and are actually improving features that need to be improved, like screen resolution, etc.
I won't, the EVO 3D is perfectly fine for my current needs despite the lack of ROM choice for the GSM version . I will hold out for a new device with removable battery, external memory card support etc.

Yes, both my wife and I will both be getting the new phone. I'm the type of person that has to have the next thing out, exactly when it comes out. I'm hoping we get both white and black models so I can get each for my wife and I. We've never owned that same model phone at the same time, and that would just be irritating if we did and couldn't tell the difference without turning it on.
I am kinda of disappointed that the car dock that I bought for my EVO 3D won't work anymore. I like being able to drop the phone right in the dock and use it for navigation and Pandora, but it's whatever. I'll just get used to putting it back in my lap or whatever.

I was looking forward to a 5 inch screen for the next HTC flagship to Sprint, but I'll settle for 4.7 with 1080p display at 468ppi. And the rest of the specs, I'll take it.
Not much to be hyped about compared to the DNA....camera...and screen are really all that's a upgrade to it... Show me next gen Qualcomm SoC in a Sprint device and then ill get excited!
Really worried they will toss APQ chip in with MSM/MDM for radios which will be old by time of an EVO launch....

I still don't see VZ jumping on board this soon after the DNA release either...
Dunno my biggest thing is to NOT see the APQ SoC in a device as that's been done and there won't be any firsts there.... Regardless I don't see sprint disbanding the EVO brand for this still...they need their device to set apart...but who knows...

Other thing sprint has done releases at CTIA after HTC did their shindig at MWC....FWIW....
Ugh I'm gonna be alone but if this is it, then ill need a lot that's not mentioned to come up and surprise me to get me to make a plunge on that device...
Won't see 800mhz lte support that early either...though that might not come till later in yr anyway.

If I hadn't already gotten the EVO in August I'd be all over that phone. My wife's upgrade is in Jan, she's likely getting the EVO as I doubt I can convince her to wait longer for this phone. Specs are beast. I guess I may be one of the few that thinks that phone is going to be awesome, I don't see why there isn't more hype....

If I can expect to get an update to an Android 4.2 / Sense 5 update for my phone, I'll keep it for an additional year and get something after that. HTC still has a lot of work to do, but I would really like to see continued upgrades for our handset.

I hear ya, but this will be on Sprint .. the DNA isn't, also this will have a bigger battery and with the smaller screen it'll smoke the DNA's battery life. So, better battery, screen, and camera? That's nice. Big improvement over the EVO that's for sure, and I bet there's other improvements over the DNA that will come out.

My wife keeps wanting me to buy a new phone for her, but she doesn't like the ones with the big screens. She'll only do HTC, and we have to stay with Sprint. So, she may have to deal with it.
If the next nexus phone comes to sprint then that will probably be my next and first choice. The fact that you can't take the battery out the evo 4g lte really really turns me away. I plan to give my evo 4g lte to my dad but something tells me I'm going to have to do some replacing of the battery because of how fast these batteries lose their charge after a while. That's gonna be a pain despite the how to videos. My second choice will be the S4 unless HTC gets there stuff together. Don't get me wrong, I like sprints variant of the one X but samsung is making their devices way more attractive lately. Always been a HTC fan but they haven't been coming through lately. Here's to hoping they listen to us.

You know sense 5 will happen on this device. Thinking this phone is gonna make the long haul. Sprint and HTC really needs to focus on a 1.5 year update policy for every device. Or maybe make it a two system update. Get 4.1-4.2, then 4.3 or next update. Or sense 4 and sense 5. Now that we arent upgrading our phones as often as we were 3 years ago, its either gonna be update to future proof the consumer investment or people will be jumping ship.

No mention of sd card there, no bueno. Plus with 1080p I'd hope there's a gpu upgrade in there as well, that's a lot of pixels that need updated.
