evo 3d still a great phone

I have done allot of testing and speed test between the two and in speed test the evo 3d wins 4 out of 5 times and in neocore they are about the same its only in quadrent where there is a huge diff..in all i would have to say i like my 3d a tad bit more feels more solidly built but im gonna keep both for sure..IF u have a 3d do some test for ur self sg2 is greaat but so is the 3d for sure..All u guys shouldnt worry so much about which is better cause in less than 2 months there will be a phone they say is better and the sg2 will be old news, ive been thru all this with tmobile..i just dont understand why everyone wants to get rid of there 3d...oh one more thing try using ur sgs2 while its charging ,,,mine gets laggy as hell dont know why especialy when i have a text and use the lockscreen to open it...no biggie tho...also the development for the 3d is the bomb for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Wait. Weren't you the one defending the 3D like no tomorrow and also 3D's ultimate troll? Now, you've got an SGSII. I love the irony.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ragedsoul79:
evo 3d still a great phone

everyone shouldnt be so quick to trade there evo3d cause before we all know it the sgs2 will be old news and there will be a new phone on the block...i would still have to say i like my 3d a bit better than my sgs2...i found a prob with the sgs2,,when its charging and u recive a text slide the mail to reply from the lock screen and it gets very very laggy when replying while its charging..maybe its just mine but i tried it 3 times and it was laggy but then when i disconect it the lag is gone very stange
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinybfk:
I still have both right now and haven't done any benchmarks cause real world is what matters for me and real world the epic wins hands down. I loved my 3d at first but after getting this phone I'm just waiting for people to make offers on my 3d on Craigslist.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] archtech3d:
Have to say, this phone is a breath of fresh air compared to the Evo 3d. So glad I switched and not looking back. There is no question that this is the better phone... and the camera is SO MUCH BETTER!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ragedsoul79:
ya must be ur location cause in the real world to me the 3d wins, but for sure our locations must have something to do with it..did a few gps test and my 3d won,i also feel that the 3d wins in screen sensativity...overall they are both great..for sure they should both take care of the ip5..which i hate,,i hate all iphones ,,at that i hate apple..lol..android all the way no matter which phone u choose ur makeing the right choice just by pick an ANDROID....ANDROID RULZZ AND THATS THAT...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I'd say that is a fantastic deal. I'm guessing it will cost me about $250 to upgrade. I figure I'll sell my evo 3d on craigslist and end up paying about $200-$250 to get the Touch in difference since I'll have to pay $500 plus taxes to get the Touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Stew I defended the 3d against haters I compared specs and if you search my posts youll see I came from a vibrant where I helped port roms.... and theme I have hate towards sammy for the vibrants flaws... And if this phone came to sprint with the tegra2 chipset (big scary rumor) I wouldnt have gotten it...

In the last 12 months ive owned a

Hd2,vibrant,sgs4g,g2x,nexus s4g,evo,evo 3d,photon and now the sgs2

Call me a phone whore but im one of the elite that have a good hook up to get the newest phones a few days after launch.... For cheap! Dont bring bad ju ju into the forums with past experience with me or it will be a all out troll war again ;p jk

As for the ultimate 3d forum troll id say I was in the top 10 but what else was there to do aith a locked bootloader?

I sold my 3d for a hella profit bought a used evo 4g and waited for the sgs2 you where standing behind international benchmarks as your reason to get it.... 2 months fdom now I will have the newest phone just like always and you will have the epic.... Not trying to bash you do what makes you happy but ive made money off flipping phones along with a healthy salary and a life that doesnt revolve around a forum (again not dissing you)

So call it irony or call it bull ****...

Yea you were def in the top of the troll standings but those pictures were funny you posted all the time ..I guess now I understand why you disappear from forums so quickly ..u get new phones ..I wish I had a phone hookup. Bc I think I have a problem with obsessing over phones ..I use 4 of the five upgrades on my family plan and hand down my old phone ..works out good for everyone..my dad will get a free e3d and ill get his upgrade ..hope its worth it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I just got mine. I've only had it an hour so I can't give a detailed review.

I can say the voice quality is much better - but I haven't tried it long enough to say if the signal quality is better/less dropped calls.

The screen is much more vibrant but the resolution difference is kind of noticeable although not a huge deal.

I prefer sense although touchwhiz isn't bad.

I like the larger screen.

It seems smaller in my hand since it is a little thinner and much lighter.

The blacks are extremely good.

I don't really notice much difference in speed between the two - some say they notice a big difference - I don't.

I like the contacts better on this one but mail better on the 3d - hard to explain why.

The data on the EVO 3D is much faster than the ET4G

guy werent u in the 3D forums posting like a week ago?....(if im not mistaken?)....good to see some familiar faces over here....damn theres alot guys jumpin over.....i can see why of course LOL

EDIT.....not to roll off topic but i got a quick question for u guys....i heared earlier before i got the phone that SOCIAL HUb was down for some reason.....so when i tried it a bit ago it seemed to be down still.....but i installed TWITTER from the market and i cant sign into that either....im just curious if that happening to others as well?....TIA

EDIT 2....NVMD, thru on WI-FI and twitter worked, but social hb still didnt.....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
Lmfao I can there where about 5 of them.. nd the last few days I had my 3d I had nothing better to do... Its not like I trolled every forum... Just the 3d... Reason being? Multiple threads on the same thing/bashing/mini mods....

Again I cant claim #1 cuz i never started useless threads just posted in them.... do i need to pull out the wiki definition of a troll?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reverepats:
Haha tjats for sure....im j/p...those forums were a joke man...i mean the OG EVO forums were getting real ridiculous towards the end..but most peeps were pretty cool....then the 3d forums just exploded with real true trolls lol....i mean lnocking on devs for no updates and asking for eta's constantly...i basically stopped posting altogether...everyone over here has been pretty cool all day today...got alot of info that i needed and such...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nate420:
This your first galaxy phone?

If u ever need help pm me im hoping to get my new laptop this week and start cooking up a rom and a few themes ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lpjzfan2005:
Totally happy with cm7 on my 3D. This phone clocked to the speed the chip it was made for 1.5 ghz flies with cm7. And quadrant runs at native resolution so that's the reason the 3D scores a bit lower. Don't get me wrong I would love to have a sgs2 but i dont see enough of a reason to switch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Yeah do it first ...then report back

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] demo27vol1:
The only thing that I miss from the 3d is the screen. I'm not a fan of the Super amoled screen. It just seems to over saturated for me and I don't like the big screen size since the 3d fits in my hand perfectly, but I can get used to both. Other than that it an awesome and incredibly quick phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abowlby:
If you want you could try going into Settings>Display>Screen Mode and toggling between the choices there for lower contrast.

I loved my 3d but man this phone is so damn sexy that I feel like I'm cheating on my gf with it!!

Welcome to the sec LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
So I got to play with one today at the sprint store and I fell in love with that phone. It's really not as big as I imagined it would be... gorgeous phone.. So my cousin flaked out on me but I convinced my mom to switch from verizon (she is 60 and is using an old lg flip dumb phone) and join my family plan..so we will get $125 porting credit (which I just double checked with CS about and they are still offering) and when her phone comes then we will swap the lines and she will take my evo 3d :) just thinking of having to teach her how to use a smartphone is already stressing me out.. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SirWise23:
LOL... My mom's 57th birthday is today... I have her my EVO 3D and added her to my phone plan. Used her phone credit for the Samsun Galaxy S 2 Epic 4G Touch (I feel the need to type the whole name out each time because it's so crazy).

I have been getting calls all weekend about how to use it. LOL. Still worth it though.

I live my Galaxy, but I think I could have waited for Root. I'm feeling lost with all my missing things. I have all the Titanium backup files just waiting for a restore.

I also kindda miss the higher res. The screen is BEAUTIFUL. The colors are so bright that it looks like those peel off stickers that have a picture of a screen on them.... BUt the only thing the lower res is good for is making Swype a bit more accurate.

All in all, It's a step up from the EVO 3D.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

PS. The Wifi signal shows a crappier connection... (I was in the same room, 6 feet from my router and I still didn't have full bars), however even when I was a floor down and the phone only showed 1 bar on wifi, I was still geting 23M down and 25M up with my FIOS. I think the issue is the display of bars and not the actual connect. Also, my phone reception has been a lot better than the EVO 3D and everyone says they can hear my much clearer. I agree, I hear everyone else much better as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vega:
do what you know is right
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
So Sprint told me that if I add the line, that it has to be active for 30 days before I can swap that new line phone with my evo 3d line otherwise it will effect the porting credit and it will also effect the rebate ($300)

I guess they dont want you getting a discounted phone and then selling it right way. So the porting credit I wouldnt mind forfeiting since it's just an extra bonus .. I will swap them but if they try charging me $300 for the phone I will fight them and I'm sure I'll win since both phones are active on the account, just switched equipment. It's not like I'm activting it and then selling one off. Both of them will still be active on the same account, just their lines swapped

hopefully they dont give me grief over it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flammenwurfer:
Oh man...I really want this phone but I can't decide whether I should wait and see about the Nexus Prime. I've heard conflicting rumors that Nexus Prime will come to all carriers and that it's going to be Verizon exclusive. It seems that it will have a higher res screen, slightly faster processor and NFC. Don't know if it will be worth waiting on Nexus Prime especially if it's not going to be head and shoulders better.

It would be nice to have a Nexus phone with ICS, but I have no problem with rooting and running roms on a GSII. Is it likely that an ICS rom will come to the GSII soon after it's release?

PS. I'm still using a Sprint Hero and it's painfully slow compared to newer phones!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
I honestly was in the same boat as you. But the prime is going to go to Verizon exclusively for a while anyway(That's why they passed up on getting a flavor of the GS2) and I think the GS III is going to be very close spec wise to the Prime.. but honestly.. I thought 4.3 inch was perfect size, After playing with the epic 4g touch I didnt think it was big as I imagined but the prime and GS2 will have 4.6+ inch screens, that's just too big for me. I mean they are now pushing dell streak 5 size. lol But who knows maybe 4.6 wont be that bad considering at frist I thought 4.52 would be too big for me but after playing with it today that's not the case.. God I just cant wait for this check to clear on wed so I can place my order
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Been doin the latest and greatest smartphones for 15yrs. NOTHING matches this out of the box.

Umm really 4.52 vs 4.6? Indiscernable!

Prime and Galaxy s3 will be better than our EpicT tho...no doubt!

I'm just gonna get them if I want them then.

I have the evo 3d and I'm wondering if it's worth the full price of 500 bucks to upgrade. I've never had a samsung android phone before and I want to try one out.

Thats awesome man....hope evedything pans out for ya...i seriouslyy dont regret it now....and i jusy figured something out...the one thing thst was killing me about this phone is how big everything comes in....when i browse the web...or go on xda and RW....the text was so fribggen large and i havent been to eazy about it...umlike our 3D u dont have to flash font packs....just download FLIPFONTS and u can set thrm syraight from thr display settings....friggen awesome...e erytjing was made smaller by all thr fonts i installed....bow this phone is perfect...ur gonna love it man...SPENCER whats up man...i was up and doen about tjis phone and leaving my 3d and all my buddys from the forums....im not thinling about looking back now...this thing is ridiculous....sleek...fast...i can go o forever....ohh and we already got root (sort 0f)...

Did you pay full price for it or did you get it at upgrade price?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gilbot:
Dropped the cash and bought it online no contract via sprint.com. arriving in a couple days, I will post a comparison to my current evo 3D Shortly after. Excited.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I had the EVO 3D - I wrote up a comparison of the two based on my experience. You should be able to get at least $250 for your 3D. I called retentions to inform them I thought the 3D sucked and (to see what they could do) gave me a $90 credit because they got enough negative feedback on the 3D. So you are talking about $200 for the upgrade. The question is do you find enough issues with your 3D to justify the upgrade. For me the crappy call quality and dropped calls were enough to justify it although not everything is better about the ET4G IMHO but I have no regrets making the upgrade to the ET4G. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1268811

When I bought the EVO 3D I was excited about finally having a really big screen and much higher resolution than my old Vogue - I was also excited about learning what I could do with Android. When I got my ET4G I was excited to have a phone that worked well as a phone again.

You'll also find good feeback in other similar threads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
I'm actually having my mom come over from verizon and join my family plan, so I will get it at the new line price. Then we are going to swap and she is taking my Evo 3d. I can say after having both the phones side by side today there is no doubt it's worth the upgrade. not crazy about TW but that can be changed :) I really wanted the phone after but after seeing it in person and side by side with my evo 3d it surpassed my expectations. If I had the $500 to lay out right now I would but I wont for another month and want this phone YESTERDAY so I did what I could :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] koseiko:
Previous Evo 3d owner (3 to be correct) make ghe switch,trust me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] OneStepAhead:
I'm coming from the Evo 3d and I can see with 100% certainty that it's worth the jump. Considering I'll get about $400 for my Evo 3d with accessories that makes it only a $100 upgrade. After having the battery last from when I got it Friday morning until Monday morning on a single charge that alone makes it worth the upgrade. The .2" screen difference is gigantic even though it sounds like it wouldn't be and the thing is paper thin and light compared to the 3d. I'm extremely pleased and don't see myself going back to HTC until they start innovating again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reverepats:
Yeah i paid full price...i was gonna craigslist my evo bit didnt wanna deal with it....so it was $396 out the door after trade in and taxes
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reverepats:
Yes see i didnt even wanna deal woth selling my 3d...i did that woth my first evo and it drove me crazy....but i toally agree woth the battery life..much better thsn my 3D.....cant wait for more cases to come available by the way....also sorry to hear for your loss....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evohog:
I swore off Samsung and badmouthed the hell out of this phone but picked it up yesterday just for ****s and giggles with the intention of returning it. Wow! This is by far the fastest and smoothest phone I've ever touched. Even with 1 or 2 bars of signal this thing loads a hell of alot faster than my 3d with full signal. If this would have been my first device and you asked me if it lagged at all I would have no idea what you meant by lag, you would have to explain the concept to me. Selling the 3d today for 375 and I'm not looking back. 125$ difference and I couldn't be happier.

Badass is how you explain this thing. Only thing I've found that I didn't like is that I can't get it to mount to my car stereo. Other that that I'm completely satisfied.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lopezpm:
Just picked mine up yesterday. Coming from the 3D first thing (after the weight) I noticed is the beautiful screen. The colors are just so nice and rich. The 3D screen was so washed out and I hadn't really noticed until I placed it next to the Epic touch. As far as speed, it's faster but I wouldn't say it "destroys" the 3D. I was running CyanogenMod, which might be a reason. I didn't think I would like TW and had planned on installing ADW, but I am actually liking it. I like a lot of what Samsung has done on this. Is it worth it? Hell yeah it's worth it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I have both, but I'll just say it this way, out of respect for my EVO3D brethren in those forums:

I've never owned a phone before that made me feel this unconcerned about rooting it and overclocking it. It's stock performance, free memory, volume levels, scrolling speed, yada yada yada are all so freaking phenomenal, that root is kind of an afterthought for me right now.

(Don't get me wrong, It'll surely be rooted and oc'd before the end of the day, but I'm just not stressing over it like i would normally do.)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
If you sell your old phone for $250-$350 it really isn't that much. I got $90 from Sprint when I told them how many problems I had with the 3D voice and signal. I'm not going to say you have to spend $200 if you are happy with your 3D but I'm so glad I'm free of my 3D - I loved Android but hated the crappy voice quality. I put mine on ebay for $275 - I had a buyer in 1 hour.
