Hey guys, well it doesn't look like another amaze is in y future, but im getting a rezound to replace my work phone (my dx) . Has any one here had any experience, opinions?
How's the 4g lte? I know I could have posted in the resound forums, bit I wanted to see if anyone has switched to or from big red, and went from amaze to rezound or vice versa..

TMobile doesn't have lte. So if the resound is att it would be best to ask elsewhere.

Yes. Having been a tmo customer for over 12years I am well aware of that thanks though lol.
The rezound is a Verizon phone fyi.
I was just wondering what if any experiences amaze owners have had .

Just check gsmarena, pretty sure they have a review on it, they have a review on just about every phone and pretty solid at that, they tell you as it is, if that battery life sucks, they say so flat out.
I've used one before cause I was thinking about going to Verizon. It has a slighter higher resolution (720x1280) but the picture quality is pretty much identical. The LTE network is very fast but unfortunately it will put quite a drain on the battery if you leave it on. That's one of the reasons I went with the HTC Amaze since HSPA+ is about as fast as Verizon's LTE... and no battery drain.
Oh yeah it has Beats audio but its just software and can be flashed to the Amaze if your phone is rooted.

Ok, totally nervous and anxious noob here. I had a question about the capabilities of the modem in this phone. My coworker has a captivate, and he told me all about the stuff you do here, and how he upgraded his modem to 4g. Is the vzw variant capable of the same? I've been reading the threads for a few weeks now, trying to figure out what to get, and now I'm just confused with the whole process, but that's a topic for another day.
Thanks.

Not. . . . . . . . . . . .
No.
The captivate can do HSPA which is all of the sudden be marketed as 4G (as HSPA+) but only up to the device limit of 7M.
That is one of ATT/TMO's ways of saying 4G.
VZN is using LTE which is different from their current CDMA#K which means phones can not take advantage of it.

Yeah, no. The "4G" he is talking about is not really 4G. It's a fake 4G.

but wait......i thought if you put 4g icons in your theme....then it unlocked that super secret lte radio that came with the fascinate!?!?!
Thanks for the info.

So now you are discrediting VZW because they use a different technology than AT&T and bought a phone that is working as advertised?

Its not really 4G, the phone works fine and as intended. If you want 4g, then go get a 4g phone from verizon(who has the best 4g network at the moment, forget ATT's crap)

Hahahah, this. +1
HSPA and LTE are different tech, just like CDMA#k and HSPA. HSPA has the same speed capability as LTE but the drasticly different delivery mechanism makes it a loser for these kind of tests.
LTE is the true future tech even though it doesn't meet 4G guidelines. Future HSPA evolutions are just going to be like new and improved satellite TDMA systems.... larger pipe for more terminals... but dont ldt ths customer know how many terminals there are.

If I had my choice, I would've gone with AT&T for numerous reasons, but given my circumstance, VZW was my only option. Big Red has a track record of making things difficult for the end user (like upgrading phones). I love this phone, and the service is good, but it's a bit discouraging that I'll have to wait 2 years to get a faster phone when this one has capable hardware being held back by them.
Sorry for the rant. Basically, I'm anxiously awaiting the day when I can cut the bloat and let this thing fly. Keep up the awesome work, and I'll keep reading until I get all the pieces together.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The captivate doesn't do 4g..the guy just has a theme that changed his icon to show 4g when he still has 3g. And neither phone has the hardware to run 4g.
At&t has **** for service...hence the REAL reason iPhone is with vzw now. I will never pay for at&t again.

Well well Sprint, you're giving "my" ICS update to an identical phone on one of your ****ty degraded networks before you give that update to me. Sprint, you're crazier than hell if you think I'm gonna shell out more cash for one of your LTE devices when I won't even be able to use LTE in the forseeable future (and be locked in for another 2 years)! David Owens, you sir are an idiot!
But all is well, because thanks to the great devs at XDA, I have my update already!
I'm right there with you, man. Sure, the EVO 4G LTE looks nice, aside from the multi-colored back. But it's biggest selling point, the LTE, won't be in my area for over a year. Makes no sense to go with a phone that gets slower network speeds when my 3D is suiting me perfectly fine with a WiMAX rich area.

Not worth the upgrade for me its still dual core phone wth lte my evo 3d is dual core the only differences it looks a lot better not worth it.ill wait for a quad core phone or maybe even the galaxy note if sprint gets it but in till then i have xda were there bad ass developers that gave me ics before ****ty ass sprint did

both you guys are missing it completely....the phone is a HUGE upgrade over the 3D. no question about it. 10000x better Camera, and screen. The Chip in it is 10000000x better than the S3 snapdragon in the 3D too....
the only valid point against getting it is the one that if in a strong wimax covered area and you use wimax a lot currently...then and only then could you really justify not getting the LTE if $ wasn't the issue...

I'm still sticking with the 3D lol. Also I figured Sprint would hold out on that update due to a new line of phones. So the folks who get a new phone will be drooling over new software . If they pushed the update beforehand people might not jump to a new phone nothin wrong with a new phone tho but ics been out for awhile for everyone else . More about makin money and selling stuff .

**** everybody I just partially fixed my 3d and frankly I can't wait to get my new evo 4g lte in the mail in a couple of days. But in the 7 months i've been here it's been quite fun y'all better all be in the 4g lte forum
Edit: nice swear filter
So as the title states, I'm considering trading my evo for a GS 3. The LTE continues to drop and I've heard that the GS3 doesn't have these issues. Has anyone here traded successfully at the Sprint store? Thoughts?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
you should ask this question on the gs3 forum...
HTC EVO LTE
It's not so much a preference question as it is a possibility issue. Wondering if anyone has been successful in explaining the LTE issues and getting a GS3
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I think what he is trying to say is, if they successfully traded they wouldn't be in this forum anymore.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You may want to read around. The gs3 & evo lte have simular problems according to LTE. They both used to drop in and out of LTE. Samsung/sprint is or has upgraded the firmware to hold LTE and if I'm not mistaken the evo LTE issue is in the process of being fixed also.
Go into the sprint gs3 thread. There are radio signal complaints & also lte to evdo complaints. Honestly though I wouldn't blame the device, both devices are bad ass,and pretty simular when it comes to soc hardware. If you really like the gs3 and willing to trade beats audio,photographer style screen,kickstand,sense and the f.2.0 camera then by all means go for it. The gs3 is very fun when it comes to software modding. But in the end its all the same

Tell sprint u have LTE issues they might swap u like 3 times then offer u a trade or they might trade u right away

Don't do it the gs3 sucks imho my brother has one and stock vs stock EVO wins everyday use his does nothing but lag garbage
Viper4G 2.02

What specifically makes it suck? I want to get in on this LTE, but it looks like it's not happening with the EVO.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
It would appear lte is getting better all the time in the area where i live. The pricing used on the evo lte is amazing! It would seem that i can pick one up for $150 or less. Is this still a pretty good phone stock or do it's lte issues make it a phone to pass by? (did some reading, found some answers, gotta get one)
You deserve an iphone 3g woody

Some of us aren't having any issues, and still think the Evo 4g LTE is still a great phone. I haven't had any compelling reason to upgrade devices or change carriers. If you like the phone, go for it.

A 30 day late to the EvoLTE thread, Note2 using troll...now that's something you don't see very often.
Anyways, I happen to like the EvoLTE...I do gotta mention though, since the thread was so thoughtfully bumped...If you are planning on buying a Evo LTE and having it flashed to Boost. Make sure it's on 4.0.? <Android Version(ICS)...and Software Version no higher than 2.13.651.1. Once its on 3.16.651 with JellyBean it's basically impossible to flash without going s-off and utilizing a linux computer to downgrade back to 2.13.651.1.
Actually I meant no disrespect to your community. Sorry should have chose my words better. I am simply trolling woody. Because he has a tendency to troll everyone else. I will remove my statement.

I recently bought my wife a galaxy 4 and it seems to always be connected to LTE even inside the house, meanwhile my Evo Lte keeps switching from Lte to 3g. Very frustrating... My phone has all the updates.. is there something else I can do?

Get a new phone. The LTE radios are not as good as the s4 I have the same situation. Gf has the s4 always gets better signal

No. Without an unlocked bootloader, there's no custom recovery available yet. Though, I understand they're close. I just don't want to take any risks without having backups. Plus, this thing stock is absolutely no slouch.
