Keep the epic. By the way, why would you want an Evo 3D? The hardware is almost dated by now, and it'll definitely be out-of-date in the coming months with quad-core. Also, if you've played with the Epic 4G touch, then it'll blow you away. It is way smoother than the Evo 3D, and the battery life is much better. The Evo 3D's battery isn't awful, but with medium usage, you'll barely survive a day.

If you're looking toward a new phone, wait a bit for quad-core. Dual core is gonna be left in the dust once quad-core comes out, and it's not that far away. Note that quad-core will greatly improve battery life, performance, and more since ICS has hardware acceleration optimized for it.

That being said, I wouldn't get a Galaxy Nexus either. Nexus phones are great, but that's only because they release the latest & greatest android version. To be honest, the galaxy nexus doesn't even stand a chance against the GS2, but it definitely kills an Evo 3D.

Hope this opened your choices up a bit, rather than to focus on an almost 6-month old phone

Keyboard is a double edged sword. I got the epic for my wife and I because she wanted a keyboard and this would be my first android phone so I wanted us to have the same. The keyboard itself is great as far as keyboards go but moving parts always break eventually. The evo would last much longer than the epic I am sure. If you get new phones regularly its no big deal but if you stick with one for a long time the candy bar format sans keyboard would be the most reliable.

I've been using the Epic since February, bought it because of the beautiful screen. I don't think I've used the slide out keyboard more than 3 times. It was nice to know I had it if I needed it but I'm now convinced I can do without one.
[Epic 4G General] lilajrestnom:
Eepppiiiiccccc!!!!!!!!!!! The evo sucks

Battery is terribleee

And its slower than this

And it doesn't have a cool widget button set in the notifications

And doesn't have a beautiful clear screen like this phone lol

And nooooo keyboardd so touch can get annoying sometimes especially when sometimes u get a drop of water on the screen (which winter is coming so be expecting a lot of rain) and in the cold the touch won't respond to ur frozen fingers lol

That's just what I think and I can give u a lot more reasons if u want

Like rooting the epic and having cwm and roms is easier on epic and u won't have all the amazing devs that u will have over here lol

This is all just my opinions
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:

I switched from an epic to an evo for 2 weeks, tried cm6 (7 wasn't fully working at that time), and couldn't stand the horrible lag in everything! Games are chunky like using an IGP, home screens lag a lot, and the epic's browser is butter smooth compared to evo.

Lots of people in here are trying to be nice, but if you compare the gpu specs the epic is way better and is the reason why it is much smoother. Also with the epic you can buy an epic 2 oem battery and get much better battery life.
[Epic 4G General] redvexx:
I had an Evo but I sold it and bought an Epic.

Evo has a better camera and the screen is slightly longer.

The Epic has a keyboard and a more vibrant picture.

stay with the epic.

HTC has big security flaws. one i speak of(don't know if it's fixed yet) but if an app asks for full internet access to your HTC phone. it can steal literly everything.

HTC also has horrrrrriddd screens, have fun trying to see your screen in sunlight unlike the epic. another thing the Evo 3d, yes it has sweettt features, better specs, but that 3d screen is just as bad if not worse than the OG Evo 4g.

stick with the Epic.

if you NEEED a new phone. go with the epic touch 4g, yes it has radio problems, but big deal, those are usually easy fixes. it's pretty much the Epic but specs and no keyboard.

EDIT: proof that HTC has security flaw.

[Epic 4G General] PhxkinMassacre:
Depends.

If you are into rooting then go to the evo because from what I have admired the evo has a much active dev community (everyone don't flame the crap out of me, I don't peak in the epic dev forums to often due to me having an evo)

If your not gonna root stay with the epic. Same specs but better screen.
[Epic 4G General] redvexx:
Evo has a 8 MP camera and the Epic has a 5 MP.

I had both phones at one time and compared the cameras. Evo has the better camera.

The Evo I had was the first generation one as well. I bought it as soon as it came to Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Question should be "Which is better Samsung or HTC?".

If you want better hardware Samsung,if u want faster updates HTC,though Samsung is catching up.

Off course Epic is better and Epic Touch is better than EVO 3D.
[Epic 4G General] CDKJudoka:
As owner of both phones, the only two things on the Epic that are better than the Evo is the screen, which is smaller, but nicer and the 3g speed are faster on the Epic. Other than that, my Evo blows my Epic away in every other way. It's faster to do everything, I get 2+ days of battery out of my Evo, and a little more than a day out of the Epic.

Both are rooted with AOSP roms. And my Evo has NEVER random rebooted on me once.

That being said, if you already have the Epic, keep it, unless you can upgrade to the ET4G. A great phone and since Sprint doesn't have the Galaxy Nexus yet, this is the next best thing. The Evo 3S is a gimmicky waste of money, IMHO.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Strange beacause i used few Evos and they lag performing tasks that Epic has no problems with.Try putting Dolphin HD on Evo-its practically unusable.

Plus people that used my Epic say its way faster.And Evo users do complain about battery life.Our Epics with right rom is capable of having 2 even 3 days of bat life.

Evo+

Bigger screen

Better software

Evo-

Slower CPU/GPU

Worse LCD screen

Epic+

Faster CPU/GPU

Better S Amoled screen

Better built (you really gotta throw it hard to damage it or be extremely unlucky to brick it)

Epic-

Smaller screen

Worse battery life(Debatable)

Physical Keyboard(Depends on what you like)

Software is not as nice,but getting better
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
Evo has bigger pictures but the Epic has the better camera sensor. Megapixels don't mean a thing unless your going to be blowing up pictures to poster size. With our phones more MP more background noise. Its all about the sensors quality. The Epic has a better sensor.

[Epic 4G General] sickboy82:
I think they are both great phones my wife and I own the EVO, our roommate has an epic. The epics screen is far superior and its quadrant scores are 2000+. I rooted all three of our phones and found the EVO alot easier to flash roms, kernels, and all that other fun stuff. To me it seems there is a much larger EVO community and that means more developers. I think if you are a beginner definitely go with evo, it seems there are more steps involved with the epic and you need have your PC handy for running Odin, where with EVO all you need is amon ra recovery and WI fi. If you like playing games the epic is a no brainer. Either one you choose you will find away to exploit them to there full potential. I will be honest I spent more time in the EVO forums so that could very well be why I found it easier to customize. Check out their respective forums and see which one suits your needs. , the EVO suited my needs better, it was the first phone I rooted and it was extremely simple to do so. The epic was not hard to but I definitely found it to be for more advanced users with knowledge of computers, in which I lack. This is my two cents and I hope you find one that suits your needs, when it comes down to it, its all personal preference, the only way you will lose is if you buy a behind the curve iPhone.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
There are many reviews online comparing the two that prove the evo's cam is garbage compared to the Epic.. lol it might take a good amount of lighting, skill and luck to get a nice pic on the Evo, but every single photograph I've ever taken with my Epic is eye-candy Kodak worthy moments.
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
And actually its way easier to root and run roms on an epic especially with rom manager support now, plus the Epic is nearly unbrickable. You don't have an Odin fallback option I believe on the EVO I always wanted the EVO at first but then I looked into them and found the Epics processor is faster, the screen is better(although I preferred the big evo size) keyboard is a plus for me and the we have quality devs/chefs here no need for big numbers, meaning faster support and more specific help OP its up to what you prefer.

[Epic 4G General] nvertigo:
i'm running ACS ICS 5.5 and I have had the exact opposite experience. My epic has never randomly rebooted and blows my friend's evo running CM7 out of the water. Battery life and camera are close enough on either device that it shouldn't matter much, my epic can hit 2 days very easily though not with 4g on. if i had to decide, i would say that the epic's camera is a little better and the evo's battery life is a little better. but again, they're close enough.

the epic does everything a little quicker (which it should with a better processor and much better gpu), and when it comes to anything graphic-intensive the evo can't even come close to keeping up (try running something like cordy on both devices, the epic keeps up with dual core phones in this regard). combined with the superior screen and keyboard i can't imagine switching to evo as there are pretty much zero reasons to in my experience.

of course this is just one case and not definitive.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
I will say one thing.... Samsung phones suck at holding reception.

My g/f just got the Evo Design 4g and she lives in a fringe reception area. My Epic and the Nexus S 4g she got for her mom only manage about -106db signal strength (borderline no signal). Her phone gets -97db. That's basically an 800% signal power difference.

But the AMOLED screen is soooo much better than SLCD. And the processor is faster/smoother on the Epic.

I didn't realize how often I use the AMOLED's insane viewing angle until I play with a regular LCD.
[Epic 4G General] Looneyrat:
Evo is POS. Keep epic. You'll regret it later when you put your full body pijamas and turn off the lights. The blacks on the eco display are actually light grey. We have been lied to for years!
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
That's a big fat biased lie. Lol. Reception is dependent on coverage for the most part. My Epic has signal in places that are dead to many other phones.
[Epic 4G General] resetreflectt:
I swear people. I owned the Evo and Epic. Evo was slower, screen was ****, and the camera was definitely worse. Epic had a way better camera, butter smooth performance and screen is a beauty. But I'm the happiest I've ever been with my Nexus S 4G running ICS.

But I will say the Evo community was amazing. I was switching roms left and right. It's never been the same.

[Epic 4G General] :
In the past, before the Evo and Epic went EOL, I would tell you that if you want good hardware, stick with the Epic. If you want software updates, get the evo.

however, both phones are EOL, and both have the latest OS update (at least until ICS comes out). At that rate, I say hardware capabilities are what matter. Plus you're on XDA, with awesome mods.

I say stick with the Epic all the way. the only possible reason to get the Evo instead is if you dont like gaming as much (the Evo doesnt run as well with games cuz the processor isn't quite as good), prefer a thinner phone, and desperately want a kickstand. :-p
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
The epic was removed from eol.
[Epic 4G General] thizzlemania91:
have both of them and EVO is way better plus development on the evo is way better.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
"way better" isn't a valid argument unfortunately.
[Epic 4G General] thizzlemania91:
What would be better. EVO has better devs, plays and shots 3d video, is in line to get official isc update.

Cam the screen and cam aren't that diff from each other thoo. Epic cam shows a brighter pic cuz of the screen but If you display both on a tv they both look the same so cam doesn't make a diff in this discussion. They both shot 1080 pics

Hardware is same. Pretty much.

Battery life on this thing is sick thooo. I get 25+ hours on a single charge using miui. Makes my 3d look like doodoo lol
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Let's disect your arguement shall we?

Dev arguements are pointless, those devs on both sections work hard to make ends meet, we're not about to cut any of them short in this discussion. So don't start talking down to our devs unless you're a recognized developer yourself, and even then, that'd be a low thing to do.

Next Disection: Plays and shots.. 3d video.. we're talking about the Evo 4G here. Not the Evo 3D, or Evo 4G Design. So let's just stop there with that.

I see what you're saying, Epic's screen and Camera are two different things, true. That does make a +1 to the epic's screen though. And as for pictures, I understand more MP is a good thing, it is depending on your project, but for the everyday noob, they can't even appreciate or take time to use their shooting skills to respect their evo's camera. As another user pointed out, we have pretty impressive sensors. I love photography, and while I like taking amazing photos using skill, I can still snap a shot of greatness without even trying.

Both shot 1080 pics... let's not confuse video resolution for picture resolution, they're different.

As for the battery life, anyone can make their phone last using custom roms. I won't even go into details on that one.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I have owned both for over a year now...

IMO, the Epic is better than the EVO

I can list the reasons, but they have been discussed to death everywhere. In the end, after my 1st hand use of each for a while, I just feel the Epic is the better device in respect to hardware, and as both have sufficient dev support for the most part, I feel that tips the final balance in the end

Even set up almost the same, the Epic just worked better.

Despite feeling like cheap plastic, the Epic's external shell and screen has held up much better than the EVO's, and though the EVO feels more sturdy, it tended to be more fragile.

Most important though, as this is a PHONE, my Epic got calls and data when the EVO didnt, not even counting 4G

The GPS was actually pretty equal, to my surprise, lol, I really figured the Epic didnt stand a chance here, but with the Fascinate(?) files in the Epic, both phones were pretty much rock solid

Also, despite being 8mp on the EVO, to the 5MP of the Epic, the Epic just took a better pic IMO, and seemed to have much less of a delay in the taking as well.

I probably took over 3k in pics on each over the last year, and IMO, for the most part the Camera on the Epic is simply better.

Add in the GPU that is top notch, and the Epic really stands above the EVO
[Epic 4G General] thizzlemania91:
Well in the op it talks about EVO 3d. Making our discussion worthless, and this isn't an argument so don't get it twisted. I've never said the epic had less or better developers. I was talkung about development. Even so the EVO 4g still has a bigger amount of choices. And if you think I'm wrong well you can ask anybody else and they can tell you your smoking some good stuff cuz its pretty clear they do. And for the rest im not getting involved cause the whole discussion went somewhere else. The op stated he wanted an EVO 3d and your tlking about the of EVO

O yea op if you want to sell your cell phone ill buy of you just pm me bruhhh.

I said let's disect *your* arguement, as in, you, are arguing (about the evo 3d, lol) And you almost directly said your devs were "better" that couldn't be more clear than saying you think our devs are "less", that's just using a bit of logic there son. Talking about development are you? More choices? More of a fragmented experience? Real nice. I don't smoke, so don't insult me with your retarded bantering. Lol. The discussion didn't go anywhere, you sounded like a fool, who then got corrected, who is now *surprisingly* replying with slightly better grammar, who sadly still made a fool of himself again. We get it. You like the Evo, you have every right to side with it, it's not a bad phone at all. I'm just saying Epic is better. It's ok to have different opinions. You'll argue what you like on an Evo, I'll say what I love about my epic, and the op will take it from everyone's feedback. If it makes you feel any better I had an HTC TP2, so I'm definetly not hating on the Sense. ;)

[Nook Touch Android Development] apeine:
In quick terms:

- Did you backup??? 1st thing always is to be sure of having a backup!

- Restore using nookrestore.img (burn it to a SD, using win32diskimager)

- Reset by pressing the two lower buttons (left and right) until the screen blinks

- Register (if you want to)

- Update to 1.1.0

- Burn CWM on a SD (using win32diskimager) and add the start and end files from minimaltouch

- Using CWM, install zip (minimaltouch start)

- Run youtube, add account

- Run gmail and fail, run market and fail

- Using CWM, install 2nd zup (minimaltouch end)

- Run gmail and you're good, run market and you are done

- PROFIT!

For better info on each step, look throughout our forum. It seems daunting, but takes no more than 15 minutes tops.

phone boot up, everything fine, first run wizard start..

6. reboot to fastboot

7. flash the stock recovery "fastboot flash recovery recover.img"
