[HTC EVO 3D] saboture:
what the **** sprint you ****ing assholes. I've had my 3D since launch and you're going to release ICS on the prepaid version of my ****ing phone before it's on the OG 3D? That's **** makes me so mad. He might as well have said "Thanks for buying our product but you're second on our list of priorities for now while we release your exact phone but renamed on a prepaid network." ****ing mother ****ing ****ers.

I also just wanted to play with the filter cause it's kinda nonsensical. :P
[HTC EVO 3D] doeboy711:
Well for me, I thought it was a decent jump. Single core processor to a dual and then 512 ram to a 1gb ram. I don't think it was a big jump like the Hero to the OG Evo, but it is noticable. My wife is still on the OG EVO and I hate touching her phone lol. I also like the screen on the 3D better because when I go back to her phone, some apps look like they are made for old people because the lower resolution. I am ready though for a bigger screen and overall faster device, just don't know what I will go with just yet. My 2 yr's is not up till Jan. I have a while to think it over.
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
By that logic there is no point in buying another phone ever because the one you have now will be always be fast enough. And you would notice a difference in graphics intensive applications and those which require a lot of power. It is a very different phone and it is much more powerful than this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] piook:
Slap in the face!

I totally agree with the sentiments here. The fact that Virgin Mobile gets ICS on the identical phone to the 3D is a slap in face from Sprint.

I am in a city that LTE should come to by the end of this year and even if it is here tomorrow, I would be hard pressed to justify getting the Evo 4G LTE as I feel that betrayed by Sprint.

Besides next year when a quad core Evo 3D LTE comes out I will still be waiting for Jelly Bean on the 4G LTE.

The cycle continues to kick my @**!
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Almost a full year after the EVO 3D is released "exclusively to Sprint," Virgin Mobile gets it released with ICS, and we still have to wait another month to get it. This will definitely be my leverage for getting a discount on my new phone when I order it June 1st.
[HTC EVO 3D] aypanthony:
XDA members are such a small minority of the overall users...I don't think the sheeple with their Evo 3D's are waiting to sacrifice their first borns to have ICS like we see in these forums. Sprint and HTC are hoping to capitalize on the intro of the Evo V on VM.....in the end business is business.

Whoohoo! 100 posts!
[HTC EVO 3D] guardiannite:
just talked to sprint tech support, she said 1 week to week and a 1\2 ICS comming out for our phone
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Let me guess... That's what u wanted to hear? Lol I hope she's right but probably really had no idea what she was talking about.
[HTC EVO 3D] jirka607:
Oh lucky you guys you know a date but we here in europe dont know nothing about ICS for GSM Evo3D :(
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Well we really don't "know" anything man. Sure the guys said so but nothing has been confirmed.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Apparently HTC have stated on the comment section on Facebook that GSM users should be getting ICS mid May? It is realistic, seeing as US will be getting it June. I'll see if i can find the post on that.

EDIT: There you go, found it :D

+100

I always got flamed when I mentioned how slow development was on the 3D. If I could do it over, I would have kept my OG EVO over this and upgraded to the LTE.

[HTC EVO 3D] doldag:
I'm an Evo3D owner as of June last year, as well. And i'm not offended that Virgin Mobile is getting ICS first.

I'm a software developer by trade, and I can guarantee you shipping a brand new fresh install of some product is much *much* easier than shipping updates to customers with existing products/hardware in hand. There is an entire class of new problems that pop up with trying to upgrade customers and not lose their existing data and configuration.

I would guess it has nothing to do with "convincing people to not buy Evo 4G LTE." hell, evo 3d isn't even for sale anymore.

And further, it makes great business sense for virgin mobile to get a sexy new refreshed "evo v" née evo 3d as a flagship 4g device. I know sprint owns virgin mobile outright, but are their management structures so intertwined that they are concerned with affecting each other's device release schedules? Or are both businesses operating semi-independently trying to maximize their profit. My guess is the latter.

Virgin Mobile needs to add new customers. It's the biggest growing segment of sprint's business. Existing Evo3D owners (like me) are already on contract. They have my money. And they have me locked in for at least another year. Why prioritize updates to people like me instead of trying to lure new customers? That doesn't make business sense.

I'm thankful we'll be getting ICS at all, probably as an enticement to *not* ditch sprint and go somewhere else, ETF be damned.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Well I'm glad you feel that way, lol.

Speaking for ME now... I'm under contract for another year too. But Sprint would be extremely foolish to take my money for granted.

As soon as another carrier gets a phone I want, I'm gone, contact or not. And if I see someone trying to get rid of a 4 line family plan with grandfathered unlimited data on Verizon, I'm gone, decent phone or not.

And if none if that happens, then I'm gone as soon as my contract is up.

The only thing that could keep me with Sprint is if they get some awesome phone that I want, and they fix their terrible service in my area.

If they are really taking the attitude that you describe (I'm already under contract, they've already got my money) then they will surely lose me.
[HTC EVO 3D] doldag:
Oh, it would offend me if we *never* got ICS, and i'd be carrier-shopping then too. i'm just saying there is limited resources and choices have to be made, so i understand why VM is given priority.

But yes, as a "good faith" effort to update our devices in a timely fashion and keep us happy as customers -- i feel it is required to give me ICS.

I'm more offended that HTC and sprint won't give me the *choice* to have a sense-less pure native ICS experience. ;)

Felacio, your like one of my favorite members of this sight, simply because your always cutting through peoples bull**** with realism

blah blah blah benchmarks say blah blah

The phones not even going to be faster. some cpu heavy tasks/transfers will see benefit. 99% of the UI will feel the same. Especially if your talking about with a modded rom

What manufacturers/google needs to do is work harder on the actual android software.

I don't care if you cram a 45 core 5ghz cpu in it with 150gigs of ram, if your software isn't using it to its best its meaningless, and Android software wise could come a long way in terms of speed and snap if they focused on that

We need to chill on hardware and catch the software up
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Amen! Couldn't be said better lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
That is spot on! Don't get me wrong, I love Android and I'm not leaving it but IOS and Windows Phone OS are both faster and more optimized at every level with much less ram and and smaller Ghz cpu. Like it or not, it is fact.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
They also have a lot less functionality. I just read something the other day about how Instagram took off on iPhone before Android because Android phones already had all that functionality built in, lol.

We had unlocked WiFi hotspots on Android before you could even pay for it on iPhone OS and Windows Phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
What's wrong with your argument is that this is still a dual core SoC and one that's wayyy better than the S3 chips. If this was quad core then your point makes perfect sense, but because its still dual core it doesn't apply...its not that the software isn't going to be able to handle the lower process the chip is at which aids in battery life and also performance.

For the rest I completely agree esp when applied to quad core devices versus the dual core ones.

This thread is about the ICS date being confirmed NOT about the differences between the 3D and the LTE or which is better.

As I stated in the other thread this "update" was not specifically directed towards the 3D and now that we have another thread with an actual official update link this thread is superseded and outdated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinuneuro:
If this phone had a non-removable cover I wouldn't even consider it because of the finish they've applied. That said, is there any reason there shouldn't be suitable quality matte or textured replacements?

I dunno. Ive never seen any with the sgs2.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinuneuro:
Sorry about that, you're right.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinuneuro:
The problem is the hyperglaze. That's what's making the polycarbonate cover slick and glossy. I think white might be safer for people planning on changing the rear cover. Easy to find a white cover, and even if it's different it shouldn't look odd. That pebble blue print is unique and will look terrible if the rear cover doesn't match.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I have never rooted a phone before(well technically I rooted an HTC Inspire, which I was asked to do, but I did nothing on it involving the Root). What are some reasons I should root, and can anything go wrong during the root process? Just putting this out there, I will not be flashing any ROMs, as I know there is a chance that the device can be bricked While flashing if something goes wrong, and I do not have a spare phone to go back to if something does go wrong.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrDowntown12:
If your not going to use customs ROMs having root access will allow you to delete any app you desire including all the preloaded sprint ones. You will also be able to download and use any apps that require root for enhanced functionality. Beyond that, there's not a whole lot of difference you'll see.

In the early days, people would do root only to adjust memory values on phones like the g1 and hero. There were a lot of settings you could tweak on a stock phone to make it better with the addition of root. Now with today's technology and phones like the E4GT, alot of those tweaks are unnecessary. The ones that are helpful are lower level and best done by a ROM dev or someone who knows what they are changing. Custom ROMs will have these included usually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Removing bloatware that wastes ram and flash storage space, certain apps are smoother (tasker, some launchers, and custom lockscreens for example), ability to block ads, better backup capabilities, ability to underclock the cpu for those times you need to squeeze extra battery life out, and so on.

If none of this sounds important, then don't root. It can be a little bit of a puzzle getting back to stock sometimes, but it is extremely extremely hard to do something to your phone that is not reversible at this point. Note this statement is not true for all phones, especially newly released phones. But it is true for the epic touch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
Yeah.. I second what the guy above said..lol.

Wasup King..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I third the guy above the guy above me and second the guy above him... My thoughts are if you have to make a thread asking others should I root when the basic community offers all the info on the profit or lost of rooting then I say leave your phone alone.

Do yourself a favor and get an extended battery and download foxfi and you will be just fine. Most of us... ok all of us in here are flash-a-holics and can't help ourselves that's why we do it... Do some reading in here take a look at rom pics and see if you really really really like something...

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
The truth can sometimes be cruel..lol. +1 to Playa..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
The best thing about rooting for me is adblocking, I cant believe how many apps and things are bundled with intrusive ads.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Just trying to keep it real up in herrrrre! Ya Ya! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CyberpodS2:
Just another app that root brings to the table:

Roam control lets you force into roam when you are stuck with one bar on Sprint.

Godsend for me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I have seen several ROMs I love the look of, including AOKP, CM9, and Caulkin's ROMs. My only issue with ROMs is the fact that things can go wrong with flashing, and they can brick the device. And from what ive heard, there is an increased chance of bricking when flashing an ICS ROM while on GB. I have no backup device to go to if something like that does happen, so thats why Im staying away from flashing for now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] killaphatboy:
The brick usually come from flashing to gb from ics using ics repacked kernels. There is always some risk/chance of brick from a bad flash, but El26 with cwm is fairly safe and the last kernel to have offical cwm. That is the only kernel i will use to flash anythin. I flash new roms every week. I have flashed to and from ics with no issues.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
My friend you have been misinformed.... There is a risk in everything we do so like I said if worried don't do it. If you take some more time and read you will see that the tar files are pretty brick proof and problems have occurred when flashing roms on ICS and using an ICS recovery. Most developers have stopped using CWM in ICS roms.

Clearly you need to do a lil more reading if you want to root but like suggested just relax and wait for the OTA and you will be OK.... One more thing all instructions say to flashEL26 kernel which is GB to flash anything ICS..... so flashing ICS rom while on GB is wrong
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Binary Droids:
1. Titanium Backup: remove those pesky system apps that Sprint really thinks you need.

2. File explorers: Being able to modify system folders to change things like the boot animation, etc.

3. Ad blocking: The ability to block ads (moral issues notwithstanding... but some apps have no paid version to get rid of the ads.)

4. Once you've rooted, it's just the beginning. You may change your mind about flashing and rooting your phone is the first step in learning more about your phone and the AndroidOS in general.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
I have not seem anyone mention that it's also about the about the damn principal of the matter... why shouldn't you have root access for a device you bought? Also if you ODIN back to EL26 to flash, carefully read all instructions posted with the rom, and wait a day or two after the release and check the comments to make sure there hasn't been some sort of inexplicable rash of bricks thanks to the rom you won't have any problems to speak of... other than not being able to fathom how much better something like AOKP is than stock touchwiz gingerbread
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
Thanks to everyone. I've decided that I will root when the official ICS launches for my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gh0stw0lf:
Personally, I root to follow fledging developers open their ROMs. It is exhilarating to see the new stuff that people come up with and the creativity that ensues because of it.

Also enhancing my phone experience with free hotspot access and customization doesn't help. However if none of these interesting you I wouldn't recommend it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rykeish:
Reason to root

I root because it can be done. It's that simple. To me, it feels like regardless of the magnitude of what you can or cannot do while rooted, or how easy or difficult it may be to root your phone, a skilled user should have access to everthing your phone is capable of.

Plus, I feel like I'm "sticking it to the man", which is an added bonus!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ronnie771:
My main reason for rooting was to remove the bundled software that comes with the phone. But I love that fact that I don't have any ads either! If u decide to root, download AdFree from the market & u'll realize just how many "free" apps use adware :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schellinky:
I just bought the unlocked Galaxy Nexus from Google, upgrading from a Captivate. I put my old SIM card in, and I am only getting about 1mb up/down (on a good test). My question is how would I get the HSPA+ speeds or possibly even LTE speeds with this phone.

I tried contacting AT&T and they said they do not support my device since it is unlocked but I know many people have gotten significantly higher speeds with their unlocked Galaxy Nexus on AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
You don't have an lte radio. Try adding atnt apn's and see if that helps. You shouldn't call atnt for problems unless you have to. And some or all of this could've been figured out with search or doing some reading.

...of the people, by the people, for the people...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Have those same people been in the same area as you, at the same time, running the same test? If not, then their results are irrelevant. I can get 30 Mbps down on VZW LTE some places, but 15 Mbps other places with the same reported signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schellinky:
I tried adding APN's and they did not work. The only one that works is the default cingular one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] synaesthetic:
You need to fix your APN settings. I did this and while my downstream speed didn't improve much, it actually allowed me to get HSUPA upstream speeds.

Look for the APN settings for "phone." Really, that's what the APN is, just the word "phone."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Yes. Use the atnt hsdpa phone apn. At the very least your latency should improve some.
