[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
Well, I did say "IMO" which stands for "in my opinion," so I'm talking about the upgrade from my personal point-of-view. So I'll try to answer with that in mind.

First, I generally like my Evo. I've added the extended battery and have it rooted with CM7. No complaints about battery life. Screen is fine. CM7 is efficient and wonderful. Processor is fast enough. Don't think I want to go back to the days before I had those things, and the 3d means nothing to me. Root is far more important, and no telling when we'll get that on the 3d.

Second, I'm a professional photographer. Though I don't expect a phone to take the place of a good camera, it's the camera I have with me all the time. I pretty much made a personal decision not to upgrade again until I'm sure the camera is significantly better. The 3D clearly is not much of an upgrade and may even be worse in that department.

Third, when I carry my very nice lightweight camera with me or my DSLR, I occasionally want to put the picture online to share. I shoot with an SD card in the camera that is a micro SD, mounted in the adapter (my DSLR shoots with CF and SD). Would love to take the card out, hot swap it with the one in my phone, and upload the picture. The Evo cannot do this without removing the battery, and the 3D has the same problem.

So, for me... the SGS2 has root and custom ROMs (though no CM7 yet), pretty good battery life, good nice screen (probably much nicer depending on who you talk to), much lighter and thinner. Really slick hardware, but some would say it feels flimsy. Don't really feel like I lose anything.

Sure it has the similar features you quote, which are upgrades to some but don't really affect me much yet. But for me, it has a couple of features I've really been looking for... one being a much better camera (especially in low light and low light video). I'd have to bump up saturation a bit in the settings, as the pictures seem a bit duller than I like.

Another is that I believe I can hot swap the micro SD card, and use it for mostly storage of photos, music and such. The huge 16 or 32GB memory in the Samsung can be used for application storage so they remain with the camera. On my Evo, most apps have been moved to SD, so swapping the card renders them unfunctional until I swap the card back.

There are other more minor things I liked on the SGS2 that feel like upgrades for me, but this is getting a little long. Still, I'm saying this is a personal decision for me. Others may feel that the 3D hits it out of the park for what they need. Just for me, though, it has the same personal compromises that I'm not wanting to extend for another long contract.
[HTC EVO 3D] hondarider525:
Im sure the GS2 has a much better camera than the 3D. Samsung's phones have always had better cameras. That is really the only thing I'm envious about. That and the thinness, I'm a sucker for thin. Then there are the viewing angles and just overall quality of the display, but with that comes the lower pixel density.

When i take a step back, I wish that the camera optics were better with htc, and that they would have chosen a greater quality slcd display, but i was not at all disappointed with the Evo display, and don't think I will be with this one either.

Those are the real differences, and anything else is dismal when you compare the two. I also think that HTC phones have a better modding community, but that is personal preference.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
HTC has made some quality products and their reputation is quite valuable. I have seen Opera man in the OG EVO forums. Must have an issue with his EVO or something because most people I know with EVO's, Shift's and Hero's can't hardly wait to get the 3D, myself included.

EDIT: BY opera man I mean m4rk0358. He looks like Adam Sandler's character from SNL that sang opera all the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
You will probably be waiting a lot longer than that. The SGS2 is caught up in the lawsuit from Apple about copying the iphone. And there is no way anyone cannot say it doesn't look like an iphone. So more than likely until that is resolved, i wouldn't look for the SGS2 in the states for a while.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Facking Crapple! LOL

I hope iCloud gets delayed for being an Android ripoff. Talking mostly about the calendar sharing feature
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
I admire the patience of those who want to wait for the S2 they feel is superior. But what if sprint never gets it...Or doesn't until the holidays?

Ok, maybe they have INDICATED that its coming. But that's a far cry from announcing it I think.

I'm sure they wont even release the photon till 31 days+ after the 3vo. And the S2 at least 31 after that. They're not stupid.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
@cubfan ok see what you say makes sense. You're saying it's better for you, not that it's just better overall like others are saying. Make a choice based on what you need. That's what it's all about.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
You have to do the same thing with the S2. Look on page 16.
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
so if you return the phone within the 30 days you get to keep your upgrade?

or no?
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
Unlike some of you, I'm perfectly happy with continuing my love-affair with the Evo until something better (for me) comes along. When I was a kid, I could never pay off my car before I had to have the new one.

Perhaps patience comes with being older? I dunno.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
I suspected that may be the case, but even so... the significant application memory and the short boot-times of the phone still make the scenario work for me. No hot-swap, but still an advantage for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
I like the thinness and lightweight form factor of the Galaxy S2, the EVO's feel way too thick and heavy like a brick with a case on it. I wish HTC went slimmer like the Thunderbolt for the new EVO-3D. But Sense 3.0 is pretty awesome, and a ROM made by Myn will be to die for on the 3D.

Release date for the U.S. version of the Galaxy S2 is all rumors for now, but a safe bet would be one year after each carrier got the original Galaxy S, which I think point towards September, possibly late August. No way they wait all the way till Christmas, with Samsung already saying they plan to release the Galaxy S3 next Spring 2012.

I say get the EVO-3D now, and wait for the Galaxy S2 to come out, and get some ROM's cooking for it, and buy it when a Sense 3.0 stable ROM is released :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
I just wanted you to know about that. Your previous answer about why you prefer the S2 over the 3vo was (IMO) the perfect answer. Regardless of what anyone says, we all choose what phone we want for our personal preferences.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
I appreciate that. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
I dislike how flimsy the battery cover is on the s2. Also.. its a gamble about which processor we get... tegra 2 really isn't anything to special. That article also said they may not have enough screens as well... which would also not be to great. Personally, I am buying the evo 3d on launch day, and returning it in the 30 days if it doesn't meet or exceed my expectations and needs.

I don't really care about the camera... if i want good pictures, i'll bring my camera.
[HTC EVO 3D] No1ustad:
the 2-yr upgrade clock only starts over after using it. And in reality, the phones are basically free for extending your contract if you sell your old one and have taken good care of it. Potentially more than free if you sold the evo a month ago like i did
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
The application memory is only 2GB vs the EVO 1GB, correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
It seems to me the Galaxy Tab 10.1 being released to the Sprint Stores on 7/24 is going be the release the "inside Sprint Managers" meant when they started that rumor.

[HTC EVO 3D] munsterrr:
on a close topic...i played with this at BB the day it was released(actually went int to order the 3d but hey, they had an opened box)....it is a FANTASTIC tablet to say the least. Almost threw $500 at them and took it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dusky323:
So Ive rooted many times switching back and forth and updating various roms. I always use "unleash the Beast" for rooting. This morning I decided to try out the Serendipity 7 so I cleared everything with Odin and when I placed the "Unleash" file on my phone (as update.zip) it will not install? There used to be a re-install packages file on my phone and Id just hit that and id be rooted, that wasnt there and just selecting the actual file from re-boot mode doesnt work either. When I Odin'd this time did I somehow get a newer version of a stock Rom or something? I'll Odin again and see if I did something different, just posting this in the mean time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dusky323:
dont mind me. Looks like I used a different version of Odin than normal and it gave me a 2.3 Droid which didnt have the re-install packages included.
[Captivate General] grayfoxx:
I am wondering if someone can anwser this for me.....

Does the ability to use a Pattern unlock vs. PIN unlock for Exchange come from the Email.apk or the OS Version?

I was running Serendipity VII (2.3) and I was able to use a pattern unlock, which I prefer. Today I switched to Fasty's (2.2) and cannot.

Would love to know. Thanks!
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Exchange server often requires a minimum number of PIN digits for unlock. Pattern unlock is not supported by Exchange server. Some modified email clients can ignore any such PIN requirements/policy. That's probably the difference between the two ROMs.
[Captivate General] cjkpkg:
The email.apk that is in OBSESSION was the only one I found that overrides Exchange security for me. I no longer need the PIN security.

When I flashed a new rom last week I pulled the "email.apk" out of the obsession package and put it in the new rom package replacing the one that was in there.

Worked...

My exchange security policy also would force the phone to encrypt all data...made moving files to and from the phone rather pesky.
[Captivate General] grayfoxx:
Thanks , Guys! I'll tinker around with some other apk's and see if I can resolve the issue.
[Captivate General] earlthepearl:
Any chance I can get that email.apk from you? I am rooted and running the Paragon Froyo ROM on my Captivate. I want to override our exchange pin policy as well. I prefer the pattern lock.
[Captivate General] cjkpkg:
Here is the one that works best for me. It will also start pinging your exchange server to auto fill email addresses from the GAL.

There was another email client from S VII that also bypassed the pin unlock but seemed a little finicky.

I just placed this email.apk in the system/app folder and made sure to delete the old one.

You may need to clear the cache and reset data from settings/applications/manage applications/email unless you are coming from a factory reset.

You will be prompted to set up your email again but this time no pin unlock will be necessary.
[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
Basically, as my signature shows, I have an INC1 and a NC.

Both running CM7.

I hate ADW, I've never liked custom launchers.

Is there a way to actually add a stock GB launcher onto at least one of the two devices and cover up ADW or get rid of it.

Like such?

http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee460/Myersmv9/CAP201106141615.jpg

I've seen themes for ADW that supposedly add a stock launcher, but it never happens. So here I am.

[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
No, it absolutely was intentional, unless the OP really thought tech support could solve their kickstand problem (which probably didn't exist to begin with) in which case s/he's the fool. Or maybe the tier-one support in that country doesn't know what a kickstand is, or what the Evo looks like, and maybe thought it was an application that wouldn't stay closed or something. I don't know, and neither do you.

My point is, the whole thing was a setup, and now it's just serving to get people here laughing at somebody they don't know who's only doing their job as they were trained. If the message is that people are unhappy with outsourced tech support, then maybe talk to Sprint about it. Have some character.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
What does this have to do with my character? You know nothing about me or my life and what level of character I possess. Whether he was doing it for jollies or not, someone working at sprint should know at least a little about the phones they may need to deal with. I know if I had problems with my kickstand not setting back in place, I'd either call Sprint or start up a chat to see if it was something that could be handled in store, before driving down there. Perhaps that's all he was looking for? I certainly would not have ever in a million years expected the type of response he got from the chat support, that was almost unpredictable. If I mentioned something about my kickstand on my Evo, I would whole heartedly expect the person employed by Sprint to know that the Evo has a physical kickstand, and would've been surprised had they not.
[EVO 4G General] mattmulford:
Being a sprint Rep this just kinda makes me a little sad inside. Everyone should be on a business account. All of those centers are is good ol America
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
Agreed 100%. To chime in myself...my gf is a high up manager here in a international company out of Atlanta and her entire team is over in India. They bring each new team over here to be trained on how to get ride of accent and how to go line by line on what to say. Pretty much says they r trained to repeat steps they are shown and not to veer from that script. When faced with a new problem they simply have no idea how to deal with it and will not veer away from what they know even if it means they look retarded which this person was shown to be

sthu....

that's all.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Of course it wasnt intentional. I have called Verizon's customer service with hardware issues in the past and they would actually comprehend the problem and send me another device.

Im now with Sprint and I can certainly see that outsourcing to trained monkeys is helping keep my costs low, but at what cost to Sprint's reputation?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
All companies have bad, un-knowledgeable employees.

Unfortunately when it comes to technology it's more common.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
Since the outsourcing of "tech support" is a financial decision, deal with it on financial terms: cause an escalation if the "support" isn't supportive. "Can I speak with your supervisor"; now two employees connect to issue. Inter-center policy will probably analyze why; 3 employees. Still no go? Ask for the regional manager. Got a "sorry we cannot allow you to speak to that person": contact financial services and ask for an abatement since the phone has not been working. All calls are logged so refer to your call to " tech support". I got the count up to about 5 people. Nice job justifying the expenses, dir of outsourceing.

Go have a coke and reflect on "I'd like to teach the world.." lmfao
