[HTC EVO 3D] jackzepplin:
I've had my LTE for a few weeks now and it is incredible. I gave my wife the 3D with MeanICS 2.1 and she loves it (only complaint the past few days has been battery).

If you like Sense and you are a fan of HTC, I think you'll enjoy the LTE. I've only rooted and done nothing else to it yet.

As much as I love this phone, I'll share a couple of things with you. I have already had the phone reboot itself out of the blue a few times. I don't recall what I was doing; just normal stuff, and it rebooted. The cool thing is, it boots up much faster than the 3D. Also, I've had a few issues with mounting the SD card. Sometimes, after a reboot, it just doesn't see it and I have to reboot it again to find and mount the card. That could be the card, but I don't have another Class 10 32gb card laying around to test. Finally, the only other thing I've notices is that one game will have a little lag at times (Temple Run). It's random, but it's happened a few times.

Again, I love the LTE and I am also really happy with the MeanROM on my 3D. I may be a little selfish, but I kind of hope you stick with the HTC. :)

With that said, if you can stomach waiting just a little longer, it might not be a bad idea to have the SIII in hand to play with for 10 minutes before making a final decision. Either way, I think either phone is going to be damn good. Aside from all of the other technical comparisons that I've heard, I have seen some drop tests done with the LTE and the SGIII, and the LTE had a better build quality.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
OK, that right there is the kind of thing that would cause me to wait! I looked in the Evo 4G LTE threads to see if I could find any common problems like reboots, crooked screens, dust under the screen, rattling buttons, you know... the quality stuff. I didn't see anything but after the 3D, I'm a little gun shy. What if your reboot problem is not software? Have you heard of any common issues, being an owner and more versed?

BTW, bear with me for just a few more posts and we'll be done with the off topic stuff. I really am trying to get me dev future planned here and do think this is the right thread for it. Honestly, both phones being equal, I'd probably pick the HTC because I know HTC and can develop faster on that platform. But if the hardware has issues, that's going to eat a lot of dev time in itself. I'm starting to think maybe the smart thing is to wait a MONTH and see what issues turn up. Unfortunately I've always been more impulsive than smart when it comes to new toys. ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
I would say go down to your local Sprint store and get one in your hands. Once you feel the EVO LTE you won't want to let go. I ran mine stock for a good two weeks and did not have any reboot issues. The 3D is an awesome phone, but the EVO LTE is an even better phone... worth every penny in my book.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
Why set the bar at the Evo 3D when there are way better phones hitting the market?

Sure, the Evo LTE is better than the Evo 3D, but is it better than the Galaxy S3?
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Because some people, like me, have had such good luck with HTC compared to Crapsung that they'll only buy HTC phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] smarcin:
I know how you feel. When you get new phone fever, well, it's hard to resist. Here's my 2 cents, though. If your Sprint store is a repair store and IF you can get to talk to a tech, see what they say about the LTE. I was lucky enough to make friends with one of the techs at my Sprint store. I got some of the best advice from him. Unfortunately for me, but fortunately for him, he graduated from the U of MN in electrical engineering. He just left Sprint for a job in commercial wireless R & D. He now makes twice what Sprint paid him! Back on topic, though, he could tell me all the problems any phone had. However, that's something that may not show up for a little while, maybe several months. OTOH, sometimes I told him stuff that was reported on XDA that he didn't know about.

Also, Mikey, you and a few of the other devs here on XDA are the reason I haven't run out to get a new phone. I have an upgrade available, but I'm sitting on it. With ROMs like MR ICS, I don't NEED a new phone yet. Thanks for what you do, Mikey! I've been running MR since about 2.0 on gb. It's my phone ROM. If I want to "try" out a different ROM, I just run it through BootManager.
[HTC EVO 3D] jackzepplin:
The build quality of the phone is really good. There are a few defective devices out there with light bleed, but that's all I've read about so far. I'm not sure what caused the reboots, but I had it happen once before I rooted and once after. It may have been 2x before I rooted, but my brain is old and filled with a lot of stuff, so I can't remember everything very well.

I have not heard of any common issues; only anomalies, but anomalies come with every device on the market. I've sent out a query to my G+ LTE group (nearly 100 members) to see if anyone else has had a reboot.

EVO LTE - Reboots/ Hardware?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
I will be keeping an eye out for you and Banc's feedback on this b/c speaker volume (too quiet) has been disappointing for a while now, both on a call and media/movie playback. Looking for something like bassini that works w/o a bunch of edits; on top of MR ICS, Leedroid. Haven't figured out how to tweak DSP Mgr to get the results I saw on MR GB w/volume tweaks (beats or similar).
[HTC EVO 3D] KnoxBNYC:
For the record, some of us regulars are THOROUGHLY enjoying this current topic and hope you keep going with it. I'm finding your decision-making process highly educational, and helpful in whether I want to keep my E3D or trade up to the LTE.

That being said, even if RIPBAP1999 was right, the way he objected was absolutely 100% out of line and uncalled for. "Shut up"? "Pissing contest"?

There were far far more grown-up and polite/gentlemanly ways to get his point across than that.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
But see, that solidifies it a bit. That says "there are hardware issues out there... be wary". I just search for reboots in the Evo 4G LTE and you're not the only one. Seems to be a common problem. Like the crooked screen on the E3D. As much as I'd like to run to the Sprint store and pick one up, I may force myself to wait. Quality/hardware issues scare me more than dual versus quad core, one LCD tech versus another, and so on. If people are having to squeeze their phone to get a WiFi signal or they're getting random reboots: that scares the chit out-o-me. ;)

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
No offense, but people like that shouldn't even bother to join this discussion.

He's looking for unbiased commentary on whether he should buy the Evo LTE right now, or wait and compare it to the Sammy. Fanboy rants containing no relevant info are only going to clutter the thread.

There are plenty of people who don't like to consider a phone solely because of its name. People like HTC and hate Samsung, and others like Samsung and hate HTC.

Lets try to keep that stuff out of the discussion. If you have an actual concern about the Galaxy S3, that's one thing. However saying it shouldn't be considered because it's a "Crapsung" is worthless clutter.

Lets just agree that Apple sucks, and stick to actual issues or concerns when comparing Android phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] wardfan220:
Ok sure. I missed the start of this convo, was just explaining.

But this "topic" is off subject and has NOTHING to do with this ROM or development, take it to a different thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Hey Grimm I'm running this modified bassini 11.1 over Mean, it has the extras removed already and should be safe to flash. I've done so twice just to verify prior to posting here http://db.tt/a8rdlcbZ
[HTC EVO 3D] Osirus71:
I was stating facts and that "I" thought one phone was better then the other.... I never said everyone had to agree with me. Relax....

And by the way AMOLED looks extremely cartoonish...Not my personal opinion but stated over and over in many reviews and forums.
[HTC EVO 3D] il Duce:
Ward, the OP is the generator of the discussion, so it's all good.

See below ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
As I already explained, this has EVERYTHING to do with this ROM and (my) development. I'm trying to make a smart decision that will ultimately affect both this ROM and what I decide to support in the future. If I support HTC, a lot of my work will be interchangeable on both ROM's. If I support Samsung, my time is more split. I need to understand both phones to make an informed decision where to go as a developer and in turn, how that will affect my development of the ROMs I'm currently working on. If I can't do that here, I won't take it to another thread. I'll take it to another FORUM!

Fortunately, I think I have enough to make an informed decision so I thank everyone for the feedback. I don't want to stay off on the tangent too long but do think it was worth it!

[HTC EVO 3D] jhentges:
Same here Im running the same mod 11.1 on MR ICS 2.3 and works perfect the only issue I had was all of my music was erased from my SD card... ? Not sure what happened but Im actually happy it happened now i can start fresh! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
Yea? Completely erased from sd??
[HTC EVO 3D] drZuheir:
Great job.. u really made ics be.. love it way more stable and all work.. thank u again..
[HTC EVO 3D] Morbius_III:
Absolutely...

Wondering when this train was going to get back on course.
[HTC EVO 3D] jhentges:
Yeah, I had installed a previous version before and when it loaded it just didnt read the music on my sd card it said " No Music Found" I applied the "fix" rebooted and was fine.

THIS time I did the same thing still no music... checked my sd card and it was all gone...
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
It's back on course now. For those who want to know the outcome, I've made my decision. After doing more research, I'm not happy with what I see WRT quality on the new Evo. Reports of numerous random reboots on the stock (unrooted) device which are fixed with an exchange. LCD ripple when you touch the screen even lightly (seems nearly all have this problem: it's only a matter of whether or not you notice it). This brings back memories of me fighting for two weeks to get an Evo 3D that didn't have a screen so crooked that one corner was actually up under the blackout. So I figure, with my luck I'd get an Evo 4G LTE now and I'll be putzing with it for two weeks trying to get a decent specimen that works properly and by the time I'm done, I could have waited a week, gotten a Samsung, and be a week into developing for that. Not to mention a good deal of time would be spent right out of the box correcting HTC's idiotic coding mistakes: like SmartSync being hard-coded to blow away all data connections at night between 12am and 7am.

Of course, again knowing my luck, the Samsung will be worse. :rolleyes: But hey, at least the decision is made. Thanks again to those who provided input. It's pretty important for me as it does shape my future development efforts. Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

Mike
[HTC EVO 3D] DowntownRDB:
Mike, no matter which way you decided to go there was still going to be winners. You gave us a great ride on the EVO 3D with MEAN Rom and I'm sure you'll continue to tweak it just not as regularly as you have been. LOL. I was already leaning toward buying SGSIII so I'm happy to see you decided to go that direction. I'm still going to keep one of my EVO 3Ds and will continue to run MR ICS. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] PrinceKagato:
Hey Mike just wondering what other phones you have developed ROMS for?
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
You're looking at it: the Evo 3D. I did make my own customized version of Deck's ROM for the original Evo over a year ago but that was nothing I shared with anyone. Didn't know enough to do much back then. :)

If I don't go insane waiting for next Thursday's Samsung release date, I'll be adding the GS3 but that will be it. Just the two. I can't keep up with more than that.

Thanks as always........

Did you try cleaning up temp files from settings>storage?

I did that it it wiped out my music. Don't know why since it is clearly not temp files.
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
Anyone have problems installing apps? For certain apps I get either a 'insufficient storage' error or 'package file invalid' error. There's no pattern that I've noticed. It can happen to large or small sized apps. I've cleared data for the Play app and have plenty of storage (150+mb internal and 20gb on sd card).

I've searched the Web and see others with the same problem but no real solution.
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
I had that happen when I first installed everything after clean flash. Cleared some space (moving apps to SD card) and it was all good after that.
[HTC EVO 3D] brotski:
Now when the Samsung comes out I hope you give it at least a week or two to see if people report problems with that device. It could be worse.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
The modified v10 version of bassini still works pretty well for me and banccalif said v11.1 worked for him after he removed the apk's that didn't belong, but I have a feeling that v13 may be working for the E3D pretty soon since one person from Kazakhstan said he has it working already.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
Looks like they just put up v13.1
[HTC EVO 3D] rigmort:
Four days into running this ROM and have noticed something that I've never seen before.

The first day I ran it, the phone random rebooted and randomly shut down about 6 or 7 times. Couldn't figure out what was going on.

Second day, it did the same things about 2 or 3 times.

Third day, it only froze up once.

Today, it hasn't done it at all and has been totally stable and smooth.

It's almost as if it took a while to get settled in. In my head, it felt like it had the hiccups and they're finally gone.

Thanks again, Mikey!

Edit: and... 5 minutes after writing the above, it rebooted itself. Aaaaaarrrrgh!
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I had a couple problems with v13 and went back to the modified v10 version for now, but you could also try banccalif's modified v11.1 a few posts back. Either way, here's how I do my MeanROM ICS updates:

1. Nandroid backup

2. Modified superwipe

3. Flash MeanROM ICS

4. Flash bassini mod (one of the modified E3D versions posted in this thread)

5. Flash Leedroid Tweaks for ICS

6. Flash make Leedroids beats compatible from MeanROM-ICS folder

7. Restore data partition from step 1

That's worked for me so far. You have to be careful with step 7 since sometimes things are added to the data partition in a MeanROM update like new apps that will need to be reinstalled afterwards, but that's usually not the case.

There is a new 13.1 that just was dropped, no additional apks but sound is still only coming in one hear on headphones

We could have told them that, and I noticed you just did in that thread. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
:cool: I had to, I'm smitten with this mod.. 13.1 would be a beast if it weren't for that. Over the speaker is extremely pumped up! My modified 11.1 is great but it doesnt have the beats settings working, 13.1 does.. But again the headphones are borked atm. Hopefully he can find a balance between the two versions with headphones working and have fully functional beats settings without the extras

Stock slider?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You may be in the wrong thread. MeanROM ICS doesn't have any MIUI options, but the SOS M ROM that is based on it does. If you installed the MIUI lancher (MiHome) on MeanROM ICS, you should be able to uninstall it and get back to the Sense 3.6 home screens.

Incoming calls

Okay, I saw a poist about his from someone else, but for some reason can't search it out. Every so often, I will have random voicemails pops up, and find that someone called me, and my phone didn't ring. I did a test today with webex connect, had it dial my number. The first three times it was fine, and hour later when I tried, the call just went to vm after ringing for a bit, my phone never rang. I remember the OP with the issue, flashed an older radio to fix this. Anyone else with this issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] WatermelonSlim:
I get that sometimes too. But I'm in a crappy coverage area so I just assumed that was the reason.

[HTC EVO 3D] SRQ Rick:
I've had the LTE since day 1......coming from meanrom on the 3D. I was excited as well as skeptical about making the switch but can tell you it was the right choice. Only thing that could make it better would be running meanrom on it. I unlocked and rooted (which couldn't have been any easier) right away. I wouldn't even consider running viperom but waited and put Joelz charmeleon rom on which is pretty nice. Tons of tweaks..... I have never had a single issue with anything so far. Not a single reboot, battery life is awesome .....I could only imagine what you could do with it. The 3 dot menu button took some getting used to as well as the home button being in the middle but they seem perfectly normal now. I'm sure there are advantages to either phone you decide to go with but just want to let you know you can't go wrong with the LTE and I'm speaking from a lot of hands on experience. Thanks for all you do no matter what you decide!

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I noticed that happening when my 3d got that full as well. I think that somewhere around the 100-150 mb left mark for internal memory, the device starts saving space for caches and things like that, so it quits letting you install apps. When I deleted some unnecessary apps and moved some to SD, the error went away.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you partition your SD card to include an sd-ext2 partition and use Link2SD, you can install most apps to SD automatically and still have them available when you mount your fat32 partition as storage. Learned that from dime. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Much appreciated Mike. I've seen some devs who "develop" too many ROMs and so either none are updated frequently or some are frequently and others are never updated. While I know these ROMs are free labors of love from all the devs to the community, we've become pretty spoiled having almost daily updates from you.

[HTC EVO 3D] nolimit06:
If you use Link2SD and do the create link option it moves your apps to the sd card while keeping the functionality of all your apps. Similar to DTApps2SD of the OG Evo ;) Been using it for a while and it works great :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Is that using Link2SD, App2SD or the built-in move to SD card? I'm guessing it would have to be Link2SD otherwise the widgets wouldn't be available when the SD card is mounted as USB storage.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

It will only link and move the ones that show up in the "moveable" list, but that seems to be most apps. One caution is that your apps that have been moved to the SD card won't show up after a fresh install of a ROM until you recreate the mount script and reboot, which can easily be done through the app. Also, you need to partition your SD card and move the apps to a separate sd-ext partition if you want to have any of them available when using USB storage. There's info on how to do that in dime's MeanROM GB setup guide.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] schmeggy929:
Yes Im using Link2SD. Its is also correct that with each freesh install the mounting script has to be recreate each time.
