I am so confused at to what to do when the epic touch drops ..I am a avid HTC fan but I do like having the best and I'm just not sure if the e3d will be after the sII comes out ..I'm not sure how the wvga screen will look at 4.5 inches. One thing I do know is that the gs2 has a better camera and thats important to me being that I'm having a little girl in two months and I want to be able to take effortless photos of important moments and share them. I'm gonna have to play with it and decide ..I never thought I'd consider a Samsung device but it seems they might of got it right this time ..I still love my 3d but I just don't know ..maybe ill just wait for the prime if it comes to sprint ..
[General Topics] rdcrds:
I sent the POS evo 3D back a month ago almost and i have no regrets at all.The POS phone has so many bugs and all the support will be on the better Epic Touch 4g.Say what you want about Sammy but HTC has to be the butch on this one because the epic touch with the 4.5 screen is better then the 4.3 EVO 3d screen and i can say this because i have seen them both side by side.

Cool story bro
[General Topics] GadgetMonger:
Set you off? A little bit I guess... :p . OP is probably thinking "oh $hit... Here we go again. ". It's all good. Just to clarify. I don't think that there's anyone here that disputes you're having issues, or that it's not more than one or two of you that are. I believe that the debate is why and how widespread is it. Those having problems are mostly blaming the device in general , those of us who aren't having problems can't see how it could be and have to believe it's isolated and more coverage related. Maybe we're all right. Maybe the correct answer is some devices are having coverage issues. I still have to think it's not a problem a simple OTA wouldn't fix, but I been wrong before so....

In the mean time tension and frustration is kept alive by clowns dropping posts like this one...
[General Topics] daneurysm:
Sorry about the rant. I do feel better getting that off my chest. Truth be told I'm going to miss this phone. I am also going to miss you guys... actually, I'm still going to visit here. Things are weird over in the epic forum, hell, the ET4G doesn't even have a forum yet.
[General Topics] Success100:
You have got to be kidding me. Not trying to be mean, but this is 100% WRONG.

I totally agree. Gadgetmonger...were all stoked u have no issues..but saying the signal issues are not because of the device itself is the most off the wall thing ive read in this thread.

The fact the there are tons of threads about this, and sprint employees including the techs and sales rep who told me NOT to get this phone knowing about the issue, should scream that there is a problem with the damn thing.

Not saying they are all bad, but there are definitely a ton of 3d users out who are terribly dissatisfied with the radio in here. Poor signal or not, when our previous devices worked and the 3d DOESNT work or works poorly in the same areas under same circumstances indicates that there is something wrong. Thats proof in the pudding in itself
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
lol, I am actually impressed how well this thread turned out. Even the people arguing, which there is nothing wrong with when done in a professional manner. People have the right to disagree and discuss their differences. It is the approach that is taken to state your point that really counts and for the most part I have really enjoyed reading through this thread. It was also great to see trolls kept to minimum so I must thank them for the respect they have shown in here.

I also hope this thread helped others who were thinking of jumping ship which was why I actually created the thread in the first place.
[General Topics] firmbiz94:
Do you thunk the epic will have the same screen as the infuse. 4g on att ..if so alot of reviews said text was very choppy and makes me feel like 4.5 inc

hes is stretching the limits of wvga
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
4.5" is no where stretching anywhere near WVGA.
[General Topics] Success100:
It's the same display from what all the sources say.

I went to the store to look at the the display on the infuse. I loved it. I didnt really notice any pixelation or anything.
[General Topics] firmbiz94:
Yea I just went and looked at the infuse as well ..although at full zoom I thought text was clearer on my e3d the screen on the infuse looked great,can't lie. I'm considering the jump ..although it may take some time to get used to touchwiz
[General Topics] daneurysm:
pffffft. Not even close. My first computer did 320x200 and it seemed fine. Everybody (in NTSC land) who had a TV before the HD revolution was rocking 352x288 and sizes up to 60" and beyond for almost 50 years. 1024x768 for 15-17" monitors was the defacto standard for over a decade. Hell, compared to a standard 42" 1920x1080 it has a much higher pixel density.

Sure, you cant zoom out quite as far as with qHD--I will miss that. But it's still not even close to Atari 2600 sized pixels.
[General Topics] pukemon:
I wonder how many frames a second with atari sized pixels?

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[General Topics] firmbiz94:
Yea like I said I checked out the infuse and it looked nice ..it would of been great if they bumped the resolution. To match the screen size but its still a beautiful. Screen ..

If CM7 fixes the radio problems on the 3D I won't need to switch to SGS2 but somehow I don't think that is the fix I've been waiting for.

Imagine if CM7 comes out on the SGS2. Oh now, then what are you going to do :eek:
[General Topics] p-slim:
When that happens they'll basically be the same phone except one will be super amoled with wvga and one will be qhd.
[General Topics] Bigjim1488:
+1 to that. The radio issues suck but I flashed the latest ota onto the phone and it seems to be holding a stronger signal. I may have to reactivate it and take it for a test drive to be sure though.
[General Topics] Success100:

Negative on that sir. Still talking better cameras+exynos and it has shown that in performance it can't be beat. Reviews on the s2 also say it has great speakers. The 3d speaker isn't that good

Hopefully it will be able to pull a stronger signal.

[General Topics] deathtech:
Meh

The Evo 3d Is a nice machine. I don't see why (other than compulsive buying, and keeping up with the joneses) that a new phone so quickly would be on my list. I like the phone, it is my first foray into android, and I am using the "Syncomb" rom. So far so good, lots of fun, great device, and the 3D is an added bonus.
[General Topics] SirWise23:
I am thinking of jumping ship as well. I have my mom on my plan, so every time I upgrade I end up giving her my old phone.

I may wait and see though... I mean the biggest complaints I've heard about Samsung is that they never release updates, but that doesn't seem to matter much when rooted. I've heard rumor that phones may come unlocked on shipping as well. If that is not the case I may wait untill it's rootable before jumping over. I like my EVO 3d, but the 3D is just a palor trick for me, I never use it.

Just needs aosp and it could be the perfect device.

(Kickstand would have been a nice addition)
[General Topics] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yeah. Funny thing is I never used my kickstand really on the EVO 4G but felt at times I wanted to use it on my 3D.
[General Topics] firmbiz94:
Ugh. I don't know what to do ..I kind if have a crush on this phone and its not BC I dislike my 3d. .gotta figure out a way to make it happen
[General Topics] clamknuckle:
So far the only thing I don't like about it is the lock screen. You have to swipe pretty far to unlock it. I mean, it will be rooted and gone asap anyway. So it's not a big deal.
[General Topics] Genjinaro:
This is what makes the Nexus Prime seem like a better investment where the SGS2 seems like a marginal one.

To each their own but honestly if you have a case of buyer's remorse / "greener grass syndrome", I'd go with the Nexus Prime.

1 to update/upgrade OS, compatibility, (Well most of you know this already, I'm preaching to the choir here...:rolleyes:)

Even if I were outside the 30-day window I'd put down the full price, no problem. If I weren't considering a Tablet, I'd pick one up myself.

Some of you need to research & wait awhile before buying phones, a month of waiting & reading user reviews & then another month of a 30-day cycle.

You'll love yourself & your phone after.
[General Topics] Success100:
problem is, noone has any concrete info on when and who it will be released for. im not going to wait. it it comes out then ill just sell the s2. BTW. anyone wanna buy a 3d? lol
[General Topics] Genjinaro:
Patience is virtue...and cheaper. We know it'll be by November, hopefully October.

With iPhone "_insert ver here_", going multi-carrier I doubt it'll be that much later or miss any Big 4 carrier for that matter.

No concrete but still... Playdoh feels just as good.
[General Topics] Success100:
lol dude you have no clue how much I hate the 3d as much as I wanted to love it. It has issues, i digress, the 3 IVE HAD have issues that I cant tolerate. This thing is lucky I havent took it to the range and put a couple shells in it. lol.

And i usually break somewhere near even when selling phones fortunately. Ill be out of about $150 for the epic touch but to be honest the only phone i wanted a s2 before the 3d launched and I still want one bad.
[General Topics] Genjinaro:
LOL! I understand.

$150 isn't all that bad, just make sure you don't find yourself in the same situation. Grill the guy in the store about checking the GS2's hardware/features before leaving. Make them earn their pay, after all they're expecting you to smile about signing 2-years away for it, which is an est. cost of $2,000.
[General Topics] Success100:
im buying that puppy at retail lol
[General Topics] firmbiz94:
What do you think is a fair price to ask for the e3d with a kickstand Case?
[General Topics] clamknuckle:
Ok, Initial impressions:

It's stupid thin and light. I can't even tell it's in my pocket, which might actually be a bad thing because I wear loose fitting pants and if I don't hear it I doubt I will feel it vibrate.

The good thing is though, I'm sure I will hear it. The speaker is loud.

Touchwiz sucks. The weather and clock apps are useless, i will be installing ADW launcher and fancy widgets until root and cm7 come out.

Battery is very good. It's been played with a lot today and went from 100% to 85% in 8 hours. It doesn't have anything on it though, so it's literally doing nothing during it's idle time.

The lock screen is a mixed bag. I hate it when it's just by itself, but when you have a missed call or a text, you can slide it open and take you directly to your call log or messaging app. It will be ok until CM7 comes along.

All in all, I'm excited.

I'm might be coming over from Verizon for the SGS2, however I'm a bit worried about Sprint's network.

How is everybody's 3G and 4G connectivity?
[General Topics] phatmanxxl:
I have an upgrade ready on 1/1/12 so Ill have a couple of months to see how the sgs2 performs, where it fails and where the development is

Unless something is better is dropped during the winter its likely I'll give Samsung another chance. I really want a nice fat 4.5" screen.
[General Topics] spencer88:
You have good reason to be worried. Mine is complete ****, along with a bunch of others. I can't get over 300 kb/s download speed on sprint's 3G.
[General Topics] opensourcefan:
If I had the CDMA version I wouldn't be but sadly the community is rather slow (but talented) for the gsm version. The SGSII or going back to the sensation may be the direction I'm headed in.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
Yeah, about that...that's a legitimate concern.

Ask friends and coworkers who have Sprint (and a smartphone), do tests, check around where you work and where you live. In many places Sprint has the superior network...in most places it's pretty good...in some places it. is. regrettable. Sometimes there are places like everywhere between where I live and work--fantastic speed and coverage everywhere except two pockets...where I live and work.

It's not always as bad as everyone says, sometimes it spanks Verizon for coverage and speed especially...though it's nowhere near as consistent as Verizon in most places...YMMV, test ask and test some more.
[General Topics] ttieder:
Is it better then the EVO 3d thats what everyone wants to know
[General Topics] daneurysm:
Indeed...most importantly: How is the signal strength/tower locking compared to the EVO 3D?
[General Topics] clamknuckle:
No idea. I can't take it home and my store has a repeater in it, so all of the phones are maxed signal.
[General Topics] 1BadHEMI:
I stopped in at my local Sprint store today and went ahead and preordered 1. Though I have liked my 3D, it really hasn't wowed me all that much, and i am tired of the low signal and dropped calls. My Evo 4G's signal was so much stronger and never dropped calls. That and along with the roaming issues after multiple CHLR resets, and even another 3D with the same problem. I have always been a HTC fan, but looking forward to the change. Of course I am a little skeptical of updates, but Samsung has said they have addressed the issue. We'll see...

Cool thing is I was set to pay full retail, which didn't really bother me, but they said would honor my Airave credit. I have $200 in Sprint store gift cards, so if I use the credit, the phone will be pretty much free. My wife wants the iTurd 5 when its released, so I might hold on to the credit for her. Either way, I am pretty stoked for Friday...
[General Topics] jlear3:
When the stores empty or you guys are closing I'd love to know if you could unplug it for a few minutes :P
[General Topics] Amd4life:
yeah Ill be buying one, simply due to the larger screen, and hopefully better signal

I love my 3D, now that it has the synergy rom on it, but the overall reception in the call arena is a tad lacking sometimes

Ill keep my 3D though just in case, as I HATE touchwiz, so it depends on how fast it gets rooted I guess if I keep it or not
[General Topics] Success100:
eh, its all relative, just like all the other cell companies, you need to test it out first. Make sure it works in areas YOU need it to work in

i actually did 5 back to back speedtests on 3g today and I was pleasantly suprised....all over 1mps

agreed
[General Topics] Smac7:
Well that's cause of the added bloat from sense. If you use an aosp rom such as cyanogen, you get that kind of performance out of your htc devices
[General Topics] boe:
Are you using the 3D? That might be the reason for the slow downloads, I got faster downloads on my old Sprint phone.
[General Topics] spencer88:
Yeah I am using the Evo 3D. I might switch back to my OG EVO today after I get off work and see what happens.
[General Topics] brownhornet:
If you have LTE youll probably be pissed after the switch.
[General Topics] Jorge330823:
Yeah sprints 4g is quick and I have sprint but honestly LTE is superior. But sprint is truly unlimited so ill sacrifice speed for unlimited
[General Topics] awesomeindeed:
I think I'm going to buy one, after I mess with one first though. I want a phone just a tad bit slimmer, I like the slightly larger screen, and for me, most importantly is the speaker. The speaker on the Evo 3d is by FAR the worst speaker I have ever had on any phone I have ever owned, period.

If those 3 things are good to go on the SGS2, then yes, I'm switching. As much as I love the 3d, I'd give that up for a phone that does everything right except take 3d pics.
[General Topics] p-slim:
Don't forget the minimum I would be paying for vzw is at least a $30 increase, vzw can suck it
[General Topics] Jorge330823:
Its all about trade offs. What are you willing to give up to get what you want and is it worth it. Larger better screen, and slimmer for a slightly slower processor. Which with a 1ghz single core that I have I'm pretty satisfied at speed. So in reality multiple cores and speeds is for gaming but other than that it's overkill.
[General Topics] spencer88:
Yeah Verizons LTE totally blows WiMax away, it's really no comparison. The thing that kills me is that they give you that awesome speed but don't let you use more than your 2 gigs of it without paying more.
[General Topics] Jorge330823:
Sprint is unlimited. Period. One fee no more for overages or anything. Last month I went through 6 gbs of 3g and definately more on 4g since I used that for large downloads and Netflix. And my bill was still the same. Only thing I noticed different was sprint increased insurance price by $1 but who cares. Assurion is really really awesome insurance.
[General Topics] daneurysm:
Verizon's LTE implementation blows away Sprint's WiMax implementation. WiMax on Verizon's spectrum would blown away LTE on Sprint's spectrum. The protocol is not at fault.
[General Topics] spencer88:
Well it doesn't matter what's at fault, only what the end user has access to. So to simplify the debate:

Verizon LTE > Sprint WiMax
[General Topics] p-slim:
People who think like you are hard to argue with, it's like arguing with a wall. It's not lte vs wimax. Vzws 700 spectrum is better then sprints, therefore vzws network in general is better then sprints whether it's wimax or lte

I swear people will never realize this, it hurts my head when people make it seem like lte is better just because vzws network in general is better
[General Topics] Jorge330823:
Yes, Verizon's network and lte are better. Speed wise. Wimax covers more area though. But Verizon is expensive and not unlimited. Thats bogus. Plus sprints customer service is spectacular. I wouldn't switch for anything. I'm a happy customer even with slower data speeds
[General Topics] daneurysm:
Then make it simpler: Verizon's 4G > Sprint's 4G

That's as precise as it needs to be for casual discussion and it doesn't conflate a protocol with its implementation.
[General Topics] firmbiz94:
My main reason for considering a switch is because of the camera ..yes I have taken exceptional photos with the e3d but it takes alot of effort and adjustment s ...I have a little girl on the way and I wanna be able to take effortless photos ..and I do have a dslr but I always have my phone. Was those quick moments and I like being able to share then easily ..I wish they would of done a better job with that ..I do enjoy the e3d but if there is something that will fulfill all my needs I will go with that ..I also miss the fatter aspect ratio ..hopefully there will be a healthy dev community and they open a dedicated epic touch forum here ..

It need not ever BE an argument. This is legitimate discussion topic every time a new device rolls out.

It's not the fault of Evo owners considering other devices.

It wouldn't turn into argument if those that 'love my Evo 3D to death, wouldn't dream of even looking at a Samsung' etc would just stay out of the freaking thread cause it really doesn't concern them obviously.

Then those EVO3D owners that are considering other devices can discuss it without the bull****.

Well, I made my decision and its the Evo 3d.

I remember the day before the launch day of are beloved Evo 3d. I sat down and weigh my options on what phone I was going to get, my option were:

Get the SGS2? Evo 3d? Photon?

so I picked:

Evo 3d.

Sorry I'm just a HTC Happy camper and Loyal to my Evo brand.(previously own og evo 4g)

Just don't see myself leaving Htc and going to Samsung side.

look, evo 3d is a great phone with allot of devs support and I really think we haven't seen the full potential of this beast.

I think compering Evo 3d with SGS2 is like compering a

Ferrari vs Lamborghini ..

beautiful cars but taste and personal preference is what makes you decide.

Me? well I made my choice. picked the black Lamborghini with red trim.
