Haha terga 3....qualcomms s4 chips will be king of hill when they are out. Having LTE modem built into the die of the chip is supposed to greatly increase/help battery life amongst other things too.
[HTC EVO 3D] xAnimal5:
Qualcomm chip sets are the WORST when it comes to performance. Just look at the 1.5ghz Snapdragon vs the Exynos 1.2ghz/1.4ghz chip sets. Snapdragon chip sets are the only reason why I'm not buying an LTE phone.

Its a mystery that Qualcomm stays in business. Learn the facts next time.

I don't see the need for quad core yet when dual core hasn't been taken advantage of yet.

From the giant: Galaxy Note
[HTC EVO 3D] PyroJing:
My next phone probably won't be for a while, and surprisingly to me I don't care much anymore if it's 3D or not. Don't get me wrong, I love my EVO 3D, but I don't use the 3D as much anymore. When I first got the phone I loved it, but I hardly ever take 3D photos anymore, and I don't play my 3D games because I rather 3D game on my 3DS and PS3.

I'm even considering switching back to the next iPhone or the one after it, just because I miss some of the apps and the challenge of customizing on it. It would have to be LTE capable though.

But if I do decide to stay with Android, it will probably be a Samsung, not as happy with HTC right now though they do keep up regular updates. Phone would have to be 720p, OLED screen, LTE-Advance capable, Tegra3/4 or OMAP 4/5 capable depending when I choose to upgrade, and easily rootable.

There is also the Mozilla Seabird if that ever becomes a reality.

But the number one phone I hope for is an Xperia Vita, for the most part I enjoy Sony products, and the Vita I feel screams to want to be a phone, especially seeing Sony bought the other half of their mobile division recently from Ericsson. It would have to be LTE capable as well, not 3D like the Xperia Play. I would like to own a Vita, but my focus now is on my 3DS, so having it as my next phone would be the perfect excuse to buy one.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
mystery that qualcomm stays in business? haha maybe you should brush up on facts then b/c they've been in business longer than you've been born likely and one of the top manufacturers at it too.

in regards to performance, unless your using your phone for a pure 100% gaming device trying to replace your console i find it hard to believe you notice your other chip manufacturers being that much better performance wise. And please dont bring up stupid benchmarks as your proof as we all know how much BS they are most of the time.

Fact is with chips you get to the point where you can only see so much improvement in "speed" from where you are already, esp if the OS doesn't take advantage fully of it all. Kinda like 1080p tv, the human can only see so much and wont notice the difference in reality beyond that.

You take your phone with Exynos chip set and while you are looking for a charger ill be enjoying my device b/c the technological advancement Qualcomm has made with putting the LTE modem directly in the die increasing performance and battery life. BTW Qualcomm will be the first to market with these this year so going to be tough to beat them. period.

I don't know bout phones but qualcomm sucks a$$ on tablets. I went to CES and got the check out some of the tablets there. Omap was last place, 2nd place was qualcomm and Tegra 3 was top notch. The only other one that might have a chance is Intel. I was a diehard qualcomm fan but I don't know about them anymore. Again my bet is in Tegra3

Whatever it may be it will not be another HTC and it will come after LTE service is in my area.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
your not comparing apples to apples there. You'd have to compare terga2 to any of the qualcomm based tablets out there right now. when you want to compare terga3 to a qualcomm chip you will have to wait and do so when the first tablet with the S4 based chipset is released. Currently the only one out there is the Qualcomm mobile development platform which isn't even released yet and what they had at CES was still running test version software. And again itll be the only one with the LTE modem built into the die of the chip which improves performance and battery compared to the others out there now.

I will say aside from qualcomm's stuff(which wasn't much at all at ces but they will be in full force at CEDIA) I was impressed with Intel's event at CES. showing their current chip can take 10 pics in about a second, which was shown in their own Reference Design Smartphone. Also impressed to already hear them speak of their next step of taking the chips down to 14nm! Thats redic.

Edit:

saw you edited your post and included a link to your CES stuff. seems you did see the Qualcomm MDP and just noted the slight stutter via HDMI mirroring on that game. Ill just say keep in mind they were running that tablet on the test ICS version still at that time according to the Qualcomm rep interviewed on engadget.

I'm holding full judgement on Qualcomm S4 till they have their tablet/phones using them in market and fully polished like the TFP and others using the terga 3 are.
[HTC EVO 3D] los1010:
My update isnt till 2013 so hopefully the next Google phone
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
Quad core will be moving onto phones over the next year or so, reckon i'll wait til a decent one of those pops up, in all honesty though the evo is a belter device it's fast, it runs all the games you want it to, the 3D is superb, streaming 3D video's onto my 47inch 3D LED TV is just as you would like it, only complaint i've got is the battery life, reckon a 2000mAH battery would have been better, mugen can help you out there, the rom's for this for phone are a little on the short side though, hopefully that will change when ICS is released.

Wouldn't consider moving away from HTC, sense is just too good an interface for me, the widgets take the piss out of all other phones, non sense phone users always get copy cat sense widgets from the market like beautiful widgets, but nothing beats the original.

Only thing i really hate about sense is the lack of HID support via bluetooth, connecting a ps3 pad up to your 1.5ghz phone playing a game is a must and in the near future games developers will have this in mind, such a silly thing to not implement on an other wise great handset.

The features of the prime are good, but it's a samsung, flimsy and breakable, me no likey. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
If Sense is the main reason you (anyone) like HTC phones, I would advise you to check out another launcher.

Lots of people use Launcher Pro, and SPB Shell 3D is really good too. There is no need to get stuck on a manufacturer just because of their interface. There are plenty of launchers in the market that are just as good or even better, and they work with any Android phone no matter who made it.

I personally see the lack of development for the Evo 3D, and I blame it on HTC locking this phone down. If HTC had given us s off, and preferably from day 1, then more people would be developing for this phone.

Samsung does give s off from day 1, and there is a lot of development for their phones. So my next phone will likely be a Samsung.

With Google owning Motorola I will be keeping a close eye on their future phones too. Not only will they prevent be unlocked (s off) and pure Android (so faster updates and more development) but Motorolas are also made in the USA so I would like to support them (no offense to any foreigners).

The only somewhat sure thing about my next phone is I am probably not getting another HTC phone until they stop locking them down (and giving a half assed unlock several months later).
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Quick question on the Samsung s-off from day one comment b/c i personally have no clue. Do they really provide an S-off for their phones(GSII, Epic4GTouch...) or are their boot loaders just not encrypted, or are you simply referring to Samsung Nexus phones being s-off from day one?

In regards to Motorola, I too am very interested if Google is going to strip all future motorola phones from using blur UI b/c so far in the early stages they have not but its still very early. Also weve already seen Moto's come locked up tight on Verizon b/c big red isn't unlock friendly where as the same phone released on other carrier is unlockable.(i forget the actual phone this was but remember reading it in their forum bc ppl were saying it violated some law and that was the pressure they were going to use to get it unlocked)

And as for a lack of development on the 3D, I personally can't stand it when ppl come in touting that. Weve got one of the best kernel devs here along with a huge dev support which are doing some great things all the time. I just dont see where we are lacking in comparison to other phones dev wise. The only thing we have a slight hurdle with getting some ports fully 100% functional b/c of stuff like 4G and the 3D camera.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
They didn't lock it down, they gave us a tool to unlock the bootloader so we can flash custom rom's, they will never offer s-off as a choice, and going back to what i said before, other launchers just don't offer what sense does in terms of widgets and overall looks, they just don't i'm sorry, I own SPB 3D, cost me a tenner and it's pretty for about a week but then it just get's annoying, it's probably my 2nd choice launcher, then it would be go launcher, then launcher pro.

But again, none of these offer Sense looks.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
On the Samsung phones, I've never owned one so I don't know the exact details. But I had a few Samsung fanboys tell me that Samsung uses the standard Android method of locking their phones. Supposedly this means that they are all unlocked the same way, and it's really easy to do. You don't have to get anything from Samsung in order to do it.

On the Evo 3D development, I'm not saying the devs are bad or anything. I'm just saying out of all the HTC phones I have owned, this one has the least amount of development.

Go look at the Evo 4G development section. Way more ROMS, way more kernels, several radios, and each thread is way longer than any Evo 3D ROM thread. There was way more development for that phone. And I think the main reason for that is because a lot of people dropped HTC for Samsung.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
I really hope you're right as I said I was a diehard qualcomm fan but if the Qualcomm tablets are indication of what the phones are going to be then thats it for me. The thing I also wonder about what you said about them being demo they wouldn't put it out there for people to play with if they weren't close to production software IMO. They also had an HTC tablet there. I forget which one but I've seen videos of it before.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Well I guess it's all personal preference. I prefer SPB Shell 3D over Sense all day and twice on Sundays. Not even close. Shell 3D does everything Sense does, and also gives you unlimited panels to add/remove as you see fit, doesn't spin in a loop if you swipe it too fast, and has more and better options to customize each panel (such as changing the resolution and number of icons each panel supports by going into tablet view).

As for s off, as long as you can't get s off your phone is locked down. And I understand they won't offer it. That's why I won't be giving them anymore of my money.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah I hear ya. Did you get to actually mess with the Qualcomm MDP tablet they had there and not just the lil video game hooked up to the tv they had set up?

when it comes to phones for me personally the thing can only be so fast to the eye and smooth and when it gets to a point i start to look at battery and such, which is why im really eager to see #'s for battery performance of the new S4 chips to see the LTE modem being built in the die difference.

I will say when it comes to my computer i really dont stray from Nvidia ever and the same with Intel too, so I tend to keep an open mind and eye out for those guys. Intel doing 14nm chips and being able to take 10photos/sec in the current line now is pretty impressive to me.

On a side note the engadget interview with qualcomm had one interesting thing too. The man talked about how they are always developing and testing new areas one of which is TV's. looking at possibilities of stuff like Facial recognition for TV's where you turn it on the TV recognizes you and pulls up all of your specific settings and channels and such. (kinda like how kinect works with xbox360 i guess)
[HTC EVO 3D] Beezo56:
I agree the 3d has been a total letdown with boot 1.50 and the inability to totally root my phone. I do like the 3d pictures even though I can only share with fellow 3d users. I get my update in 4 months. I got this 3d when my Evo died and they replaced it with this. I was much happier with my evo. The Galaxy looks like the way to go what do you think??
[HTC EVO 3D] FaalKorum:
I dunno, it all kinda falls to your personal preference. For me, not having to deal with the "will they or won't they" upgrade BS is a plus for me, and I'm kinda banking on it having a pretty strong developer following.

Build Number: 4.0.1.A.0.283

Bootloader State: Locked

Rooted State: Not rooted

SuperOneClick Version: 2.3.3

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

SuperOneClick keeps crashing! Here is what I do:

1. Turn on USB debugging.

2. Plug phone into computer

3. Unmount micro SD.

4. Start SuperOneClick

5. Click 'ROOT'

Along the right side this is what I see:

* daemon not running. starting it no on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

and then it stops and says 'not responding' ?

Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I need to do to prevent this? Is it because I'm running 64-bit?

For your intended uses the Kindle Fire will work great, actualy I prefer the OMAP 4430 to the Tegra 2. The Kindle Fire is not a cheap tablet, it is every bit as capable as any other Android Tablet (except the transformer prime) it merely lacks some extra features - 3G, Bluetooth, microSD, GPS. It does also lacks Google services and Market, unless you root and add that capability, If you don't have a need for that stuff then the Kindle Fire is a great choice.
