Is it worth the switch I just traded one of my Mytouch 4gs for an Evo mint condition. I was gona flash it to virgin mobile for 25 a month unlimited data/text, sweet deal can't beat it. I am still drooling over the thunderbolt though is it really worth the upgrade? Its the same hardware as the mytouch but i dont see that big of a difference between that and the evo. Before I flash my evo I want to know if I should keep it. What do you think?

Thunderbolt has the latest Snapdragon with Adreno 205 GPU which means that its much faster than most phones out right now. On top of the fact that it has 768MB ram makes it amazing compared to the EVO. Now when you compare it with the myTouch 4G then its essentially the same phone but of course with real 4G LTE.
4g wont matter on virginmobile. Obviously, if you got the money, thunderbolt is better then the evo. But its gonna be a while before you can flash it to virgin mobile? I think I'm not sure though
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Ok, so I added my mom and transformed my single line 69.99 plan into a 129.99 Family Plan on May 9. I got her one of them Sanyo Vero phones (shes 65 and just want to make/receive calls). I currently have my Evo 4G, and I am fairly interested on one of those Evo 3D phones. So I am thinking that if the Evo 3D comes out before the 8th (and thus on my 30 day- return window for my mom's phone), can I go to the store and switch the Vero for an Evo 3D, and then switch the Evo 3D's number to my phone and the old Evo to my moms phone number?
I did bought my moms phone in Radio Shack, so if this is even possible, can I go to that same Radio Shack and do this or do I have to go to the Sprint store?

Im kinda confused about what you are exactly asking but
I take it you just bought your moms phone and are now wanting to return it within the 30 days for a evo 3d then switch the numbers from your evo to ur moms vero aka that u switched for the evo 3d
Well im from kentucky and last year i was wondering something like this i bought the hero and evo from the radio shack
Your answer: yes you have 30 days to return the phone vero that u bought and you can get the evo 3d you would just have to pay the price difference if there is one
Then when you get home just call 1800 sprint customer service and tell them you wanna switch numbers because your mom likes the evo better and u like the evo 3d better and they can just swap the numbers right over
Ps sorry for so much writing

You don't even need to call Sprint to change the numbers on the phone. You can go online to Sprint.com and just do it yourself once you have the phone you want.

Hey everyone!
I currently have the EVO 3D, but I'm thinking of upgrading to the EVO 4G LTE. I still have a year left on my contract, but do you guys think it's worth the upgrade?

If you get Wimax and use it, I say keep your 3D for one more year. Other wise the EVO LTE is a much better phone 100 times over. But I'm sure a year from now sprint will release a phone that is 100 times better then the EVO LTE.
^^^^^Agreed.
UNLESS you're in a first round LTE location! Then I'd jump on this bandwagon right now because LTE is gonna blow WiMax out of the water, AND you'd have the 100 times better phone, as the above user said.

Yes. Evo LTE is a game changer.
Hi Everyone! I was just wondering the same thing, I got my upgrade approval this morning and I'm counting the minutes before I can get off work to go get my Evo 4G LTE!!

I thought the same thing about the OG Evo, but then they released the 3d, and it was only 1.2 times better then the evo. I bet we don't see another upgrade-worthy Evo for 2 years.
Everyone mentioned about Wimax and LTE, but besides that, I think you should consider...how much work have you done to customize your 3D? Can you upgrade for affordable cost, without trading in 3D? Are you comfortable getting back on your 3D if you don't like your new Evo? Will you be able to get 30 day return policy, etc?
The camera is very nice on the new Evo. I never had (and don't expect) wimax or LTE in my area anyways. The 3G is greatly faster and the battery life is much much better than my OG (which is different I suppose than your 3D but anyways...)
However the Sprint service for phone/sms here is awful. In fact, we cannot make calls with our new phones while our old ones had the best service in town. We may return them.
In short, your wireless experience may be greatly different and if you rely on your phone for anything be prepared that you may have to switch back if you are dissatisfied with the upghrade.
I have owned the HTC Vogue, HTC Titan (WinMo), EVO 4g, EVO 3d, and the 3d is a huge upgrade over the EVO 4g -- The EVO 3d is obviously better than all of the aforementioned devices. The screen, GPU, and CPU, are much better. The camera and battery life is also better. All around, it's a better device, and a worthy upgrade over the OG EVO. I'm on the fence about upgrading to the LTE, and don't think the SGSIII will be any better than the EVO LTE. Honestly I'm just upgrading for the new GPU, and the LCD2 screen. I've been waiting for a screen like this, and I'm glad HTC decided to bundle this device with a great screen. I was going to wait for the SGS3, but I absolutely hate pentile screens, and I've heard that the quality of the SGS3 screen is inferior to the LTE.
I have another line that can be upgraded in December, so I might pull the trigger on the LTE, and see what Sprint has in store for next year. Anyway, I don't think you can go wrong with the LTE. It's definitely an upgrade over both phones, and could be the best phone in the US at this time.
Ha, by the way, the EVDO Rev. A speeds on my HTC Vogue were amazing. The building I worked at years ago was right next to a tower, and I used to pull 2300-2900bps all day. Now I'm lucky if I receive 500kbps, even when using PRL 00000. Now in 2012 everyone has a smartphone and 3g is oversaturated
Having owned each iteration of Evo, I would have to say it feels like the jump from the 3D to LTEvo is bigger than the 4G to 3D. I never overclocked the first two, so perhaps the 25% higher stock clocks make this phone feel that much snappier.
The screen is also a huge step forward. I haven't taken any pictures yet, but one of the biggest draws to the HTC One family of phones is the camera.
My biggest gripe about this phone is the capacitive buttons. I miss having dedicated search and menu buttons. That's not really a big concern, though.
I think getting the EVO LTE was worth upgrading to from the 3d as my 3d anyways had problems lol.

I still think the 3D was enough of an upgrade over the 4G. HTC went from a single-core 1.0GHz processor to a dual-core 1.2GHz processor. It took a while for Android to really take advantage of the extra processing power, but it eventually happened. When I finally got my hands on my 3D, I noticed a huge difference going from a Gingerbread ROM on a 4G to Gingerbread on a 3D. I feel the same way about ICS on a 3D compared to ICS on a LTEvo.
It's too early to tell what other gains may or may not be made with the LTEvo, but I believe it's definitely an upgrade worth getting. If you know someone with one, see if you can toy around with their phone for a minute or two just so you can feel the difference firsthand and decide for yourself. I was on the fence for a few weeks, but my 3D waded in Crown and Coke last week and I got tired of the screen flickering and two bright spots toward the bottom of the screen. I was eligible for an upgrade anyway so I shelled out for the LTEvo.
I've had the original Evo4G for 2 years and 4 months now. It has always been rooted and performs flawlessly and does everything I ask of it. When I saw the EvoLTE was coming out I really wanted one and I was/am eligible for an upgrade. I decided to wait a few months for the kinks to get worked out of the phone before getting one. Sprint offers the LTE for $99 presently and I'm tempted to grab one.
In the last few months I haven't been reading the EvoLTE forum but started reading everything a couple of days ago. I don't have a problem with the people who are critical of the LTE and are leaving it for a Samsung. The Evo4G is the best phone I've ever had and is the first HTC phone I've owned. As I said, it does everything I ask of it, is reliable, and I know everything about it.
My question to those who like their LTE's is this: Should I upgrade to the LTE?
I'm not willing to spend what it costs now for a Sprint SamsungSIII, $199-249 and have no idea if I'd like the phone if I did. I am concerned about owners here who tell of the LTE's Sense not working properly, of data problems, rebooting etc. I've never had 4G in my area and Sprint doesn't even have my area in AZ on the list of upcoming LTE service. I've paid that damn $10 monthly charge for 3G only which annoys me since I own a 4G phone that Sprint doesn't supply 4G service for. I can deal with continuing to pay the $10 for no 4g or LTE but I don't want to get rid of a phone that stays connected always, has a good download speed locally on 3g, and always works, for an EvoLTE that doesn't always work and continues to have problems.
So I guess I'm asking for encouragement to upgrade to the LTE. I'm not going to leave Sprint, the true unlimited Data is the most important feature they offer and I need the several Gigs of data each month that I continue to use. What do you owners have to say?
Thanks~
Get the EVOLTE My dad has an og Evo that I rooted and played with and the difference is just amazing. We compared side by side the stock roms and its night and day. Data speeds were better, apps launched much quicker, the camera took pictures faster and higher quality, and the list just goes on.
Don't listen to the naysayers on here, the new evo is awesome. There have been some LTE issues for some but I'm in the same boat as you with no LTE in the foreseeable future in my area.

this phone is dope.. put this phone next to the phone next to the og evo and u will see it smokes the og evo in every way.. i had the og evo.. the evo 3d and now the evo lte.. i never had 1 single problem with this phone.. its beast! :good:
I also had the original for over 2 years and it IS an awesome phone. That said, if you are in a good signal area, the lte will run circles around it. Very comfortable to use and fast. I'm on MeanRom with mine, rooted and s-off. 3g signal reception is a full 2 bars down from OG and like you, I'm not gonna get 4g anytime soon. If you never roam in areas where signal is down to 1 or 2 bars you'll do fine. If you go into areas like that and making calls or receiving data is important I would wait a while. Personally,I hunt in remote areas a lot. If I'm going for more than a day,I just switch back to the OG for the trip and switch back when home. Good luck with your choice......

Honesty, my reception improved over my dads Evo... By a noticeable amount. We live in the boonies and also hunt a lot and he depends on me to get the calls on my phone because his phone doesnt even ring. It depends on where you live I guess.

as much as i like this phone id say check out the optimous g its a really nice phone overall already cracked. and just gonna be a matter of time before some roms start flooding on to it but thats just me i want it but my girlfriend wont trade me lol.
I would definitely say upgrade to the LTE. It's far better than the previous EVOs in every way, as others have mentioned. I'm one of those who will probably be switching to the GS3, but it's more for the experience of trying something different than what I'm used to over the last three years.
Thanks to all of you for your replies. I'm really leaning towards trying the LTE. My home is in a rural area outside the city and I have excellent 3G coverage. If I can have the same result with the LTE, root it, be able to operate on wireless, and have the "Hot Spot" as I do now on the OG 4G I'll be very happy indeed.

I went to the Sprint website and looked at the Optimus. It looks sweet, my phone before the Evo4G was the LG Lotus. It was a great phone for it's era and never gave me any problems. I don't want to spend $199 for a phone at this time, the $99 for the LTE is in my price range.
Thanks for the suggestion, let us know how you like the Optimus if you get it.

I placed the order using your link. It went through as I am a long time customer. The only odd thing was after placing the order it gave me a confirmation number which I used to check on "my order". The page that came up said, "This order must be manually processed" so I'm not sure what that means.
Do you know if anyone using that link has received their phone yet? People were placing orders around 10 days ago, they should have received their phones by now. Another person on the other forum wrote that he got the "Order must be processed manually" also, he hasn't posted again saying if his phone was shipped and was delivered.
thanks!

On the Private Store page it didn't say anything about Black Friday or it being Cyber Monday or anything special. I messed up because the discounts they give you end up with a $49 credit you can spend as you make the order. I didn't notice this until after making my order and then went back to read other posts on the other forum and a few people talked about using the $49 credit to order accessories. :laugh:
Oh well, if I get the phone for almost nothing I'll get over not spending the credit.

The manual thing is common for the Sprint private store. I got the evo on white for my wife it took like 4 days after the order was placed. I think it took a while because I ordered on Saturday night. She loves it. I score big points thanks to that website. She thinks I bought it at 200 bucks. I (it was free) just don't tell her.

Don't get the EVO LTE over the GS3. If and when you get LTE in your area, you will regret it.
Stick with the OG. Coworker is doing it and does just fine. Getting the ELTE is really just about ICS improvements and to be honest, there isn't that much if you happen to use custom ROMs on the OG. Plus, he gets WiMax where I'm stuck on 3G LOL (depends on your service area of course, but we have a WiMax tower across the street). I actually still use my OG at home with SWAG on it. Works great.
IF LTE is not going to be available before your next contract (2 years if you buy evo lte), then I would upgrade to the EVO LTE.
My main gripe is the LTE connection issues.... it's incredibly frustrating knowing there is 5-15 Mbit data speeds available... but to get them you really have to fight with the phone's software to access the LTE at times.

We never got 4G service in my area of Arizona. Sprint doesn't even list us on future areas for LTE service. Strange, we're a metropolitan area of over 1 million and never even got 4G. :crying:
It's safe to say there will not be LTE service in the next two years so the EvoLTE will be a good upgrade for me on 3G only.
thanks!
So this is what happened. I work for Sprint and my manager hooked me up with an early Christmas gift. I had the EVO 3D and there was a time with Sprint where if you had a 3D and it had a malfunction they would replace it for you for free via the Exchange program for a EVO 4G LTE because there was a shortage of EVO 3D's. So he did that for me and bam I had an EVO 4G LTE. When the update came out I downloaded it excitedly and immediately after the download my phone has been frozen up. It will work temporarily if I do a simpull and then freeze again shortly after. I have done hard resets and cache wipes and I booted into the boatloader and reflashed the stock RUU (The PJIMG whatever it is) and it still does not work so I had my technician exchange it for me again and she offered me an S III instead via the exchange but I told her I still wanted an EVO...
I've been with HTC since the HTC Hero and always loved it. Did I make a bad choice though? Should I have instead gone with the S III? What do yall think?
TL;DR I had some problems with JB and have to have my phone exchanged and my technician offered me an S3 but I told her I want an EVO again did I make a bad decision.
I don't think you made a bad decision. You obviously prefer ht over Samsung. The evo and the s3 Have pretty similar specs. As long as you don't start having issues with the new evo, you made the right decision.
Yeah I just guess now my tech has got me worried that this new phone is gonna be messed up too. But TBH I think that the issue didn't sit so much with the software itself but the fact that the phone was a refurbished device and obviously had issues before.
But I loved my new EVO in the short time I had it. I just see some people here are so adamant about wanting to swap their EVO's for the S3 by any means.
i've been with htc since the touch pro, then OG Evo, now EVO LTE... I really like the EVO LTE, It's fast and handles pretty much anything I throw at it.... the few bugs it has are just really annoying... I'm stock with latest OTA at the moment. The new OTA made LTE connectivity better, but it also introduced a few new bugs... the hardware is great, i'm just not crazy with the stock software...
If I could do it all over again, I probably would have tried the S3 instead of the EVO.... I had no idea the S3 would become as popular as it has...

Sprint never offered the LTE for a malfunctioning 3D. If they did then I wouldn't have had to pay for mine after the 8th 3D stopped working and all they would offer me is an OG Evo or some garbage Samsung. This is one reason Sprint customer service is pure JUNK. The lies, the constant changes in policy, the rudeness, and favoritism. You liked the hero? The worst smartphone ever made? I almost got a flipphone after my experience with the 'hero.' Anyway, I would've went with the S3. Only because I'm sick of HTC and Sense.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I agree about the exchange. Never is a device replaced that way. If they do you are lucky I guess. Evo got replaced with 3d or photon because with that flagship they really didn't have anything on the same level at the time. 3ds and Photons are normally switched for each other and if your lucky they will give the s2 or Galaxy Nexus. What I'm trying to say is no way does a normal customer off the street walk in with a 3d and exchange for a LTE. There are to many lower end devices with its specs to replace it with. You Boss really did bless you for Christmas! The onley other way I can figure is many Sprint has an exchange agreement with HTC.

So you're saying you would have gotten the SIII if you knew it would be so popular. what other people buy is what informs your preference? I really hope that's not what you're saying, because that's really sad and misguided, and kind of, well.... I just won't say.

No you didn't make the wrong decision. Stick with the Evo 4G LTE. Remember YOU messed the phone up by whatever method you performed upgrading to JellyBean. Yes it has a few issues but what phone doesn't. My daughter has the SIII and I got to play around with it for a few hours. Im sorry but I still like the Evo better.
PS How did you not know the SIII was gonna be so popular? It was and still is the most widely advertised phone out there. And also you can't go by what is popular, just because it is popular doesn't make it a good phone by all means.

Thanks for the snide comment. I'm sorry I didnt explain my point well enough. When you have two android phones that are almost identical spec-wise (EVO LTE & SIII) ... I'm going to want the one with a larger user base.... because generally speaking more users means more development for the device... since I do plan on rooting my phone eventually. If I am incorrect by stating this, then I apologize.
When I bought the EVO LTE launch day I compared it to the SIII and since they were so close spec-wise, I went with HTC because of my good past experience with HTC phones.

I almost got a flipphone after my experience with the 'hero.' Anyway, I would've went with the S3. Only because I'm sick of HTC and Sense.

Someone sounds angry. And it wasn't a formal policy. Just something that could be done depending on the situation and if the evo 3d was in stock at the time of your issue. As well as if you were pleasant to the rep or a jerk...

Also the more popular device gets more accessories.
But i still like the Evo a lot.

No you didn't make the wrong decision. Stick with the Evo 4G LTE. Remember YOU messed the phone up by whatever method you performed upgrading to JellyBean. Yes it has a few issues but what phone doesn't. My daughter has the SIII and I got to play around with it for a few hours. Im sorry but I still like the Evo better.
PS How did you not know the SIII was gonna be so popular? It was and still is the most widely advertised phone out there. And also you can't go by what is popular, just because it is popular doesn't make it a good phone by all means.

So no offense to all of you but you're basically all wrong.... YES in November they did have that offer at our store because of an issue with the EVO 3D's and replacing them so they offered something comparable and since they can't go back to the first EVO they sent out an EVO 4G LTE to me. That's how I got my phone and that's how my manager got one as well. So it was a legitimate program. I work for Sprint okay so don't try to big league me here bro I think I know what I'm talking about.
And I have always been stock so my phone wasn't messed up by my own tweaking with it. I simply downloaded the OTA update on the 13th and it killed my phone. I wouldn't say that's my fault. But regardless the replacement is on its way so stop hating.
Stop turning my topic into self-loathing because you're not happy with the choices you made in your life...

Not to gloat - just setting the record straight here. My local repair center exchanged my 3D for a LTE. I know it's not common, but it happens.
Just sayen.
I think you have the better phone. I much prefer the HTC build and the super lcd2 to the amoled screen on the Sammy.

To the people saying that phones are never replaced with greater phones. I had my og evo and towards the eol of the phone they started replacing the phones for free for a 3d. No contract extension or anything. See mah thread here
I've had my Mogul replaced with an HTC Touch & my Touch for a Touch Diamond.
Even way back when, it was possible. My experience each time, was in-store

Well I'm glad I have people here who agree with me and who also had pleasant replacement experiences. But hey I got my new EVO in and it's working great no issues so far I updated to JB at the store to make sure. ALL ACES HERE!!
People say the s3 is better because it has sold more more units. I dont get this because a evo lte is only on sprint, so of course it hasnt sold as many units as a phone on every carrier. Screen, build quality, and sense keeps the evo in my hands.
