4th evo lte, good build quality? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Any one else exchanged there's? Everyone says the build quality is good but I question that. All problems are internal never physical outside issues. Always, "never seen that before" worker at corporate store finally, after threatening to buy out of contract, she allowed me to switch phones instead of another HTC evo I'm going to the galaxy 3. See if I have better luck....

lol you question the the quality of htc then go to samsung which arent known for quality feeling phones :laugh: :in my best Jim Carey voice: alllllllllllriiiiiighty then!

I know, but with the 4g issues on the EVO I thought it was best to switch. Don't know when or if HTC will fix the issue. Why get another refurbished phone. At least ill get steady 4g. Owned every EVO that's been out. Plus more development on gs3. Please don't hate me just tired of problems. Loved the phone but.......problems problems problems. Starting to remind me of my pre. Went thru 6 of those suckers.

I'm on my third, myself. First one had a light bleed issue. Second one I busted the screen, got an exchange through Assurion. And I've had no problems in the last 2 or 3 months with my third one.

Possibly upgrading to evo3d

Well I am very interested in this phone but would like some honest opinions about it here are my questiones. Was the phone what you thought it would be? Is the dual core fast,any lag? and how issue battery life

I have an Epic 4G, was going with the Touch BUT! I just bought me an Evo 3D from ebay. I think the masses believe in HTC. They are just better built and from what I see here, have more support. Mines in the mail baby, I'll be joining you all here soon.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I really dig the Photon and the SGSII is nice as well. But for me, Sense is where it's at. Plus the Dev support is fantastic and exceeds that of the Sammy and MoPho in my opinion.
I had the opportunity to go Photon or Evo3D. Went Evo3D. No regrets. The community really ha made this phone a beast. Before root, I must admit I missed my Evo4G... Not anymore. 3D is neat, but ultimately a gimmick in my humble opinion. The dial cores are fast. I'm running Eternity on mine and it is buttery smooth. To the battery issue.... I chew through them. SIMPLE and CHEAP solution. Ebay up a set of 3 spare batteries and a battery charger for $20. Cha ching!
E3D'ed... Booyah!
Wow you guys are really convincing me to go with the evo3d

Sarcasm? lol Play w/ it for a good long while and choose from there. I'm still thinking of trading in my Evo 3D for an Epic Touch 4G... but I have heard nothing but problems from peeps on these forums regarding said device. LOS; cheap build quality; software issues after root, etc. BUT I have also heard nothing but good things about the screen/camera/phone's fluidity.
I've played w/ the ET a couple of times... I've never had any issues w/ it at all while handling it and the fact that the phone FEELS so much smoother than the Evo 3D really makes me want to make the switch.
Anyway, the Photon beats them both for phone stability and build quality but the interface is very bogged down/laggy and the dev support is pretty damn scarce.
Make the right decision. :3
I figure the battery is the same as epic touch which is bad so I would go have look for quality and I know the evo3d has some weight to it which is fine with me epic touch looks like its poor quality any thoughts
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Really depends on what ur coming from. I mean its a bad ass phone for sure but I think I could have been just as happy sticking with my 4G EVO. I love my 3d don't get me wrong. It's fast and reliable for sure. The 3d feature is cool at first but i don't really find any real use for it. Definately love it but think about this too, LTE phones should be coming out one after another starting next year. Depending on what u got now maybe u should wait and see what's new in the first quarter.

If you've held out on upgrading this long, I'd go ahead and wait for Sprint to start releasing LTE devices next year. That would suck if you upgraded now, right before the end of the year and in 6 months LTE devices come out and Sprint's new LTE network starting to become operational, and you're stuck with a WiMAX phone for 2 years.

I am looking to trade a Samsung Epic 4G Touch for an HTC EVO 3D. Its in perfect condition and has no blemishes on the screen. The reason behind the screen is simply because I miss the 3D. And AOSP. I love what happens with Touchwiz and we have great devs there.. I just miss too much about the 3VO and desire it again.
Please message me with regards. I'm preferring an original already Revolutionary'd unit because I don't want to deal with H-Boot issues. Also I would like one with no flaws physically.

What do you miss about the Evo 3D just out of curiosity? Ive been wanting to scratch the Epic 4G Touch itch that I have, but I have wondered if it is even worth it...so your feedback would help!
Gene,
I'm in Austin, and I am SERIOUSLY considering getting rid of my Evo 3D as is thanks to the Carrier IQ scandal.
I've got it S-OFF'd and a clean ESN, and I still have the box and all accessories that came with it. The only things wrong with it are a slight scratch on the paint at the right edge of the glass - the glass is fine, but the metal on the case shows (not even a centimeter long and only on the edge of the paint).
If you'd be interested, I'd meet you at a Sprint store and swap the bugger over - I'd even unroot/S-ON it first too if you liked (HBOOT 1.4)
OT - you worked at BBY? I'm Double Agent 3812, from precincts 216 and 291, then 204 in Austin. Even through I'm Disavowed, good to see another Agent out here.

Galaxy S3. I am looking for something new.
I never thought i'd say this...but my next phone might be a Samsung. lol
I really wish HTC wasn't soooo blind and/or blatantly anti-consumer. It seems like Samsung got everything right with the gs3 while the new line of HTC phones still have quite a few things that I really don't like about them.
I haven't finalized my decision by any means, but as of now, i'm definitely leaning towards the GS3.
Everything was looking so good right up until the screen...F That crap...not even going to give pentile display a 2nd thought after seeing the Galaxy Nexus up close.

new evo ... locked in battery
gs3 for me
The answer would be easy if HTC would listen to the community. But since Samsung makes their devices developer friendly its a hard not to go with them. Even with the screen quality being less than the Evo LTE. The Evo is guaranteed to be locked and I can't stand being restricted. HTC also doesn't give out source code so our devs can't build functioning roms. Thats why I'm leaning Samsung
Coming from the rezound in June. I was happy with the way the one x looked and thought that's what I'd be getting, then the evo let design came out. It kind of bummed me but it's growing on me. The sg3 just doesn't have a good enough design for me. I like the lte's look better. Still wish it looked like the one x though :/. Oh well I still can't wait.

The Next Evo?

Maybe the Evo isn't dead yet.. What if that new Butterfly S that was suppose to be the next DNA is coming to sprint? It's got the right colors to be an Evo. Happy I didn't use up my upgrade yet.

It's definitely gonna be a nice phone! I owned the Evo 4G, still have my Evo 3D with about 6 extra batteries , and still have 2 Evo LTE (1 in each color). That said, I could care less if it has the Evo name or not, to be honest, I don't care if it's named HTC Turd! Lol. A name is just that, a name. It has nothing to do with the phones features and functionality! If it doesn't have an sd card slot then I won't even consider it! The One is a huge disappointment to me with no sd card slot and only a 4.7" display! That's why I now have a Note 2. I wanted a bigger display and gotta have an sd card slot! After 6 or 7 years of nothing but HTC phones, this Samsung is a very nice change(NEVER thought I would EVER say that)! It's nice to not have to worry about s-off/unlocking the bootloader, since Samsung doesn't lock their sh1t down like HTC does!! Oh, also nice being able to swap batteries again! One of the first things I did was order an extra battery! Almost forgot how awesome it was being able to swap batteries in my Evo 4G and Evo 3D!!

This is terrible imo... While I like the evo line I think that HTC made the right move having one phone rather than several. It has increased sales and spurred development.

HTC Evo 4G LTE
Well the One doesn't have LTE800 and it's going to start popping up soon so I'm ready to have a phone with both LTE bands ready to go. (assuming that this is all true and if the Butterfly S does in fact have the correct radios for LTE 1900+800).The One on Sprint has such a crappy antenna design when it comes to LTE and 1X...I didn't use my upgrade on it so I'm ok with the switch if need be.

I recently broke my Note 2 and need a new phone to hold me over till I get an upgrade in about a year. Just wanted to know how your phones are still holding up and if it's still worth getting.

It's definitely worth getting. I've had this phone for over a year now and it's super durable and it's had good performance throughout the year. Definitely worth getting and it'll most certainly help you get to your upgrade

This phone is good but the s3 is better overall. I sold my evo 4g lte three months after I got it due to poor reception. Picked up a s3 and haven't seen 3g since on my phone. The 4g lte radios got issues on this phone. Everything else with the phone is fine except the battery, coming from the note this will be hard to live with the s3 battery last longer but if you get the official extended battery by Samsung it will get better life than the note 2. Htc feels good in the hands compared to the plastic of Samsung but if you use a case like I do it really don't matter.
