[HTC EVO 3D] five40:
Sprint is throwing all their money into marketing for the Evo 3D but the Photon is a better phone bar none. The Photon would be a beast if it had the dev support like the Evo 3D.

Even without the dev support the Photon is still better.

I'm rooted but the bootloader is still locked so no real modding/customization as yet.

I have 30 days to decide but I think my mind is already made up.

The Evo 3D almost made me switch to Verizon, that's how bad it's radio issues were for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
Wow, the issues you have or had make no sense. HTC radios are updated and improved more often and faster than any others I've seen. Price for the photon already droppped a hundred bucks at bestbuy. The only feature the photon has that I'm jelous of is the dock to t.v. control. Other than that laggy and and the too much plastic feel are overwhelming for such a high end phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
And their off!!!! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
I had too, they are both great phones but to say the 3d is so bad that you would switch carriers is ridiculous.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
I can't blame ya :P

Im glad I got first post lmao. I seen this coming.

Free Dirk!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
It's a promo, Best Buy gave me $20 pff my 3v0 on release day. Lol
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
My evo3d's radio has already been updated. Cant complain about the photons kickstand, looks like something HTC would have thought of first. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
Dang, I paid the 199 wish I'd have save the 20, every little helps LOL.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
All you gotta do is have the right employee helping ya. The othet day i bought a samsung csoundbar and they gave me 10% because I was heavily debating on my purchase. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] jdawglx01:
I'm glad you're happy with your Photon. If I had herpies I would just be happy with that too. At least it isn't a SGS2...

/troll
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Lol. I think 3v0 forums are the most troll infested. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
You're quite right, haters!
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Well, I don't remember a lot of other phone forums getting so many:

"Hey, I'm posting in [INSERT PHONE NAME] to let everyone know that [INSERT DIFFERENT PHONES NAME] is better and blah blah blah"

threads being started. So, actually the people doing that are trolls and we are just tired of seeing it.

Really, this stupid topic has been created 20 different times. And if YOU have a different phone why do YOU keep trolling here? That's really the epitome of a troll. you are trolling the Evo3D forum to jump out and go "yeah!, you're right!. this phone over here is way better than the phone forum I'm currently in"
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
They're just lonely. Show 'em some love and comfort. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] five40:
No amount of software updates can fix crap hardware radios.
[HTC EVO 3D] five40:
Far from hating or trolling.

Just spreading the word about a great phone that's all.

If you read the entire thread you would've seen my other post saying I had the Evo 3D since it launched rooted and running ViperRom 1.3 with Silverneedle kernel. So it's not like i'm some newb bashing the 3D. I had ton's of signal related issues which I thought was just Sprint related at first. After using the Photon for a week i'm very pleased.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Maybe we all should go to the photon threads and brag about how great the evo3d is and then call them trolls lol, I'd expect the same reaction your getting here.

Next week get ready for evo3d vs sgs2 troll threads again from Samsung fanboys.
[HTC EVO 3D] Skyphos:
These threads never have a good ending.

Definately get a hands on with either phone...dont just trust reviews because many of them seem to be biased to me. The EVO3D is grossly underrated. Also, remember many benchmarks arent setup to correctly handle the evo's resolution. I'm not even sure if many, or any, are optimized to take advantage of the dual core yet. I'm sure someone knows though.

The bottom line is...I'd make a list of whats important to you and have a column for either phone beside each bullet. Look at the phones based on important factors to you and score a point for the winner of either category you find to be important. Tally at the bottom then make your decision.

My most important factors:

Cutting edge hardware (IE: Fast CPU/GPU, Internal Memory (RAM not SD/Storage space)

Decent battery life

Community/Development support

Also, i didnt feel like sitting around waiting to see if the next one coming out would be better. There will always be something new on the horizon. Go with your gut...either way you should have 30 days. Good luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
So.. I am trading my evo in.

Yeah, its neat. The 3D gimmick wore thin already. And blah blah blah.

So i traded it in for the Photon 4G....

Since then I got a chance to try out crabs thanks to some dirty hooker on the corner. And wow, crabs is way better than the photon! I mean, You can't even compare the 2.

I really wish I could get my evo back. But ill take crabs over the photon any day!
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
Traded my evo for the photon and I am happy. I need a phone where people can understand me during phone calls and one where I don't drop calls so much. My boss is a very angry perspn and i dont like him cursing me out over the phone because he can't understand me lmao! My 3d is still sitting on my desk. Maybe if they fix the reception I will switch back.
[HTC EVO 3D] laraiza:
Guys don't get ur panties in a ruffle. Maybe there are trolls from time to time trying to stir up some sh** . But seriously not everyone wants to do that. I have a photon now but im still in my 30 days. I came from an original evo 4g since launch day and was really undecided on which phone to get. The evo 3d or the photon. Since I know how sense is from running synergy roms I kinda had a feel for what htc offered that's why im testing out the photon now. Sometimes the best place to get true feedback is straight in the forum of the phone ur possibly interested in. People have had first hand usage and can give true not speculative opinions of their phones. Not all peeps are trolls but were all open to constructive feedback be it bad or good. So play nice kids no arguing and help the guy out with your experience.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Aren't you one of "them"...taking lil shots at the e3d
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Heh, you know I'm only joking. I've been helping 3v0 users out the last few weeks woth dev questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I think you should just get a e3d again stew..you know you love it..all the problems will be worked.out.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I am curious what the three proton ROMs offer besides a few tweeks, and will Motoroler release a kernel source so the phone could be overclocked, also will it ever see ASOP? Last Moto I owned was a cliq and Motorola pushed an update that bricked it. T-mobile said go to Motorola and Motorola said go to T-Mobile so in the end I was without a phone for a few weeks. Im still mad about that.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I just was looking at photon development and its pretty sorry..for now on when i feel like.e3d dev is going slow im gonna go into the mo pho forums and feel better..
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
LOL. I had the same thing happen with Microsoft, BestBuy, and American Express. Bestbuy told me to contact Microsoft to fix my laptop, then Microsoft said Bestbuy can repair it, then BestBuy said they can only do it for a fee, then Microsoft said they'd also charge a fee, so I called American Express and they gave me a check for what the laptop's worth. I love American Express. :) I just noticed I went heavily off-topic with my post. LOL
[HTC EVO 3D] five40:
I can't argue with that. The dev support on that side is aweful and what kept me away from the Photon initially but the poor signal reception on the Evo 3D pushed me over the edge.
[HTC EVO 3D] A_Flying_Fox:
I don't think "HEY THE 3VO GETS THE MOST RADIO UPDATES!!" Is a good selling point.

That just means it doesn't work like it should lol
[HTC EVO 3D] A_Flying_Fox:
That's what happened with the epic 4g and the evo

We didn't have a lot of support initially bcause of all the hype from the evo, but when froyo dropped, idk what happened. The devs just all came out at the same time. But now that the gingerbread leaks are getting too frequent, deving has crawled to a standstill again because who wants to waste their time working on an os that's about to be outdated(2.2-2.3.4)?

It'll probably be the same with the photon. Whn the bootloader is unlocked, I expect the floodgates to open..
[HTC EVO 3D] cajones42:
Can the photon block unwanted calls from certain numbers? Or delete all calls/sms from the same person? Im jw if this is just a sense 3.0 thing?
[HTC EVO 3D] evohog:
So your saying cell towers don't change so neither should the radios? In the past year I've had the EVO, epic,nexus,xprt and now the 3d and out of those nothing compares to the reception on HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] Topgun966:
For those that are complaining about the radio and jumping to the photon you were going to regret it in a couple months. The 3d the only capable phone now that will use the new iden to cdma network (old Nextel network) that is being converted. What that means I'd in that freq range has the best penetration and reception.
[HTC EVO 3D] A_Flying_Fox:
Thats what the PRL is for sir. Towers have nothing to do with radios lol the radios use the prl to direct which tower to connect to
[HTC EVO 3D] A_Flying_Fox:
Its in androids built in contacts to block people

You just press the "block" button lol
[HTC EVO 3D] simmer down:
I've also had both phones. I loved most of the features on the Photon but

Saying the display is slightly more crisp is like saying an Escalade has slightly more room than a Smart Car. Yes, the Photon screen is vibrant and bright but the pentile display also makes everything look like a comic book. Some people can't see the pixelation. I wish I hadn't but it was a deal breaker. Also, I always see it brought up that you can see the screen in direct sunlight -which is true, - however, my house has a roof. my car has a roof. my job has a roof. Unless you spend the majority of your time outside, the better display beats being able to see it in sunlight every time.

The Photon battery is better. I will give you that. In my experience, it was not head and shoulders above. It would last at most 2 hours longer.

Also true. Although, I may have had a defective phone as my 3g speeds were 10-12 times faster on the 3D. When I could make a call on the Photon, the quality was amazing but I also had the silent calls issue which would require a restart before anyone could hear you or before you could hear them. This is a known issue and taking out the sim card did not fix it for me. If I have to call 911, I don't want to have to wait for a restart.

BUT I will say I actually really enjoyed the keyboard in MotoBlur far more than in Sense. I don't know if that's their special keyboard or if it's Gingerbread but I loved that it would automatically space my words when using suggestions and Swype worked wonderfully on the Photon while it's nearly unusable on the 3D.

I agree.

The speaker sucks on the 3D. Absolutely terrible. It's fantastic on the Photon. As I said, I loved the Photon but I had to have a phone that worked. (even a garbled call is better than no sound at all) and I just couldn't deal with that PenTile display. This may be the only time I wish I had worse eyesight because it would distract me any time i was in a shaded or dark room.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I don't see the photon really getting a lot of dev support, just being a Moto and Motorola's hostile attitude towards devs, the highly anticipated sgs2 and possibly the Nexus Prime about to drop, I just see this phone forgotten and free with contract by Christmas.
[HTC EVO 3D] gthing:
I can't say definitively, but here are a few points in favor of the 3d:

The 3D supports Sprint's new 800MHz spectrum which will begin rolling out by the end of the year. The lower frequencies will have better coverage and better penetration in buildings. If you have poor coverage at work or at home this may benefit you, will probably help battery life, and you may even have less traffic congestion because it won't be being used as much as the regular higher frequencies.

The Photon will not support the new spectrum.

More info here: http://newsroom.sprint.com/press_kits.cfm?presskit_id=19

That said, I don't think you can go wrong with either phone. If you're like me you'll be buying another one in a bout a year anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
We are all on top of the smartphone food chain..so let's all be happy..both sides know that the other is a good phone..I mean would you even have this argument with a hero c user..no bc thats crazy..be happy with you purchase and stick to your device forum if you can't help yourself from starting another of these threads
[HTC EVO 3D] five40:
I've never been affected by the mute call issue.

But the update released last week addressed that and other issues.

Hi everybody.

I have an optimus black with Nova V5 and it work very fine, and I´m root.

Well I want unlock my mobile by imei , I have unlock code, but the problem is, the instruction to unlock says "you can´t be root"

I have Nova v5 , can I flash from sd with Nova 3 (I think Nova3 use v10b, but i ´m not sure) and use gingerbreak 1.2 ?

When I am not root , Can I use the recovery?

I need unroot mobile what is the best solution for it?

Thanks and Regards
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Emergency recovery your stock firmware with LG Mobile Support tool, factory reset, and then unlock with your code.

Then you can flash whatever Rom (custom or stock) you want.

PS. Before anything, in order to keep your data, you can do a cwm backup, Emergency recovery your stock firmware with LG Mobile Support tool, do a Factory reset, flash V10A with KDZ updater, do a Factory reset, unlock with your code, root with Gingerbreak, install CWM and restore your backup with CWM. Voila! You'r done!

It may work even if you flash a stock firmware with KDZ updater, but you have to pay attention that Nova uses ext4 filesystem and stock uses ext3, and mixing those leads to trouble!

Either way id prefer a 4.5" screen

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ac16313:
Yup bigger is better in my opinion, as long as it fits in my pocket which it does lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
4 inches is my preference. But I'll take 4.3. 4.5" seems to be getting too big and soon they're making 5.2 inches. LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Well I think if the buttons were incorerated on the scren andthere is basicly no edge on the size of the screen they can make a smaller sized phone with a big screen still..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dohturdima:
4.3. 4.5 is overkill on a phone IMHO. I wish Sprint would have an Android world phone with dual (GSM/CDMA) radios - sucks that the only world phone is a BB.

but im down for 4.3. thats the maxfor me.

I do not like the direction phones are heading.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Yeah pretty soon there gunna ge too big to fit in our pockets... they wll basicly be a tablet if they keep increaing the size...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ac16313:
Sorry guys majority wants it bigger
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
I wouldn't mind bigger but the biggest I think it should ever get isfive inches... and thst screen to the edge of the phone and it would still beapretty big phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Everything we've heard up to now says 4.3" since that's the size everywhere else in the world, so I'm not sure our preference is relevant. The non-Pentile SAMOLED+ screen they're using didn't allow for the same level of pixel density as the previous models, so they had to up the size. I've heard nothing to suggest we're getting anything different than the standard SGSII screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SocialReject:
Honestly, I'm starting to lose interest. I've seen numerous reviews and videos and I'm starting to want something else.

the default of ~3 second intervals between flashing is a bit slow for my liking. Is there any way to make it flash faster when there are notifications to be checked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shep2112:
Man I can't stand the gap between flashes. The "did I just see it flash?" thing I deal with every day. And why can't it flash green while charging? Or flash a different color for text, email and missed calls/voicemail? It does green, orange and red, surely this can be assigned by some sort of voodoo or dark arts? :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Tekara:
You can use a program called nueled to adjust the LEDs to some extent, I don't believe you'll be able to adjust the flashing speed, but you can redirect the behaviors to make it a steady light and with some control over the color of the light.

I personally use it to kill off the LED while charging / finished charging, so that I can plug it in and do a crossword or watch a recorded show before going to bed without the light blinding me.

[HTC Incredible S] trifly6:
Hello everyone,

First, sorry for my poor english,

My iS used the ROM CM7-RC1 and I wanted to install the latest ROM Virtuous Unity 2.33 BETA but I have a problem at the restart of my iS, it hangs on the blank page of HTC.

I made a backup before testing this ROM, so I wanted to restore in Recovery mode (Vol- + Power) but when I switch in Fastboot Mode, a loading bar appears at the top right then I've got this message :

"CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press <Power> to reboot."

I've seen then that I needed to have the radio S-OFF with the XTC Clip, which is not my case (AlphaRevX method)

Someone knows how can I restore my iS without access to the Recovery ? Or just an other way to fix the HBOOT ?

Thanks for you helps

HBOOT version : 1.09.1000

RADIO version : 3805.04.03.22_M

iS S-OFF with AlphaRevX
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Check your SD card. It sounds like you have a file named PG32IMG.zip on it that it will try to run every time you boot into the hboot. Delete this file and then you should be able to get into recovery to restore your backup.
