He means that the technology used is not LCD. It's AMOLED (ActiveMatrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode).

I will also first look in the store if there's really a big benefit in the new resolution on such a "small" screen. It's not like I will be looking at individual pixels when I'm reading my e-mails, browsing the web or playing sudoku...

What does interest me the most about this phone is the extra hardware such as NFC. There's a thousand things you can do with that to simplify the daily use of the phone but it will not come quickly (modders will need time to investigate the capabilities and write custom code for it).

I too was sold when I saw the launch event, but now that I see a lot of features coming to the SGS, I have my doubts about spending so much money for what could be a small upgrade (I know for some it's a big upgrade, but for my usage maybe not really).

Back story - was trying to share a video with my friend over wifi direct instead of bluetooth for a change and noticed the is no settings for it. he has the HTC one X and the is a settings menu for him but non for us.

Am on AOKP if that helps but am surprised as I wasn't able to search for his device and the traditional wifi settings didn't have any options.

What do you think? And is there and app or a way to do it.

I just recently came across chainfire and I was wondering if it does work and help for the revolution.
[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
Imho, it does help to a point. But if you read the thread on it, it's main purpose is to allow playing of games that are designed for a specific gpu, through gpu plugins. With it installed it allowed me to play tegrazone games fairly decently. Most games would FC if it even let me install them, Before I did chainfire3D.
[LG Revolution] iamjerry123:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vashusa:
I've looked through the forum and haven't found a problem like this other than on the Hydra rom thread with no answer, so...

I'm having a problem with the bluetooth and audio playback. Whenever I played music on my phone after installing an AOKP rom (Hydra rom), the playback is fine so long as I play with a regular earphones. After I connect it to my bluetooth headphone, it pairs and connects just fine, and then I open the music app (doesn't matter which - stock, mx player, doubletwist) it gives me an error message saying that it doesn't have the ability to play back that file. It goes through the entire music album and stops. I am able to play music files through ES file manager and waze still works and I do hear ringtones when someone calls.

I haven't had this problem on CM9.

Has this happened to anyone else and do they know how to fix it?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
I got me Evo Lte around 11am, and heres what I've noticed so far

The phone is gorgeous. The quality of the materials used feels absolutely amazing in the hand. The weight is simply perfect as well. As a user of both the 4g and 3D, i can say HTC has outdone its previous two evos by miles.

The Lte's buttons are extremely easy to press. It doesnt take much force to make the buttons go down. While the might be viewed as beneficial for some users, others might not like it, as your phone might reboot or dial someone in your pocket.

The kickstand is also superb. I've never used a better kickstand. Although small, you can tell how strong the thing is from the first time you open it. It stands the phone up at 3 different angles. If you have no nails though, you'll probably find yourself having a hard time getting it it open. With a silicone case i found it very difficult to open the kickstand as well, however a tpu case was much less intrusive.

There were some slightly less pleasurable things though:

The kickstand wasnt completely flush with the silver rim on one end. while barely noticeable, it's enough to remind me that this phone is early in HTCs restructuring phase and that i shouldnt expect this phone to be perfect.

When plugging my SD card in, i noticed the same issue as well. Although everything worked properly, the sd card was at the slightest angle from the words "SD Card." Not significant enough to make me not want the phone (read: i love it), but HTC still has come a long ways and should still continue to do so.

The rear cover was also slightly off. Granted this could be from the kickstand, but it exposed some of the internals if i didnt close it with the corner in question first. This in my opinion was definitely not okay. I would be careful with this phone near water.

The rear cover was also very flimsy. It attaches to the red strip on the left and right side, but without anything in the middle. This causes you to be able to push on the plastic and feel it move up and down. Again it made me feel like my phone wasnt as protected as it could be.

Finally to install my screen protector, i took my tpu case off, and along with it comes the rear cover. I am not feeling this rear cover.

All in all, imo the nice things outweigh the bad, but its just something for people to take note of ;)

Initial software for those interested:

HBoot: 1.12.0000

Radio: 1.02.12.0427

April 26, 2012

S-On of course :D

Hardware version: 0003

Software version: 1.13.651.1.710RD

Kernel version: 3.0.8-01360-g3fd0422

Sense 4.0

Android 4.0.3

PRI: 2.28_003

PRL: 25003

Hardware:

Screen is bright and gorgeous. I usually keep my brightness turned down about 2/3 of the way and it is still pretty bright. Phone is very thin compared with my 3D.

Pretty light but feels more solid than say a SGSII. My kickstand is not quite flush with the case but no biggie to me. Power button is nice and has a good feel to it.

Back cover came off ok but had to give a little force. Not a big fan of the gloss finish on it. Seems like it would scratch very easily. Volume rocker is not part of the back

cover so they are nice and firm compared to the 3D which could feel spongy. Kickstand feels solid even sitting both ways.

Software:

For those asking about Speedtests on 3G, I ran some tests against my Evo 3D. Testing to the same server (Phoenix, AZ)

1st

3D - 53kbps down 101kbps up 1489ms ping

LTE - 540kbps down 741kbps up 332ms ping

2nd

3D - 27kbps down 57kbps up 1455ms ping

LTE - 415kbps down 729kbps up 324ms ping

3rd

3D - 36kbps down 80kbps down 1455ms ping

LTE - 308ms ping 587kbps down 716kbps down

This was a laugher. LTE wins by a landslide. Not fantastic speeds but much, much better than before

More to come
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
go ahead, i was hoping others would share their thoughts too :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vulcZ:
Awesome, thanks for the mini review! I'm glad you covered the buttons, because I felt that was something reviewers never really touch up on. I owned the 4G and I loved the way the buttons felt, but going to the Evo 3D I felt the power button took a downgrade (it was WAYYY too easy to press IMO).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dmaul3300:
Can anyone with the phone confirm if a 64 gig sd cards works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hockeyman12c:
Thanks for the info! Maybe this thread could be retitled as first impressions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brennen.exe:
Looks like I'll be waiting for a while yet to receive mine. In the mean time, is there any chance you can confirm two things for me? Both are simple (gimmick stuff):

1.) If you have the camera as one of your lockscreen icons, does pressing the dedicated shutter/camera hardware button skip the lockscreen and take you to the camera app?

2.) Can you record slow motion video @ 720p? This should be an obvious yes, but all reviews I've seen only had 390p or whatever... just curious. I know older HTC phones could (Rezound, for example).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dagnasty:
1. Did not work for me.

2. I set my video to 1080p and enabled slo-mo. The resulting video is 768x432
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brennen.exe:
Thanks. Sprint papers say you should be able to bypass lock screen with camera button-- or perhaps I misread?-- so I thought that was the trick. Thanks for both. Odd that slow motion knocks you down to... what is that, 480p I guess?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vulcZ:
Can one of you awesome folks check something for me please? :) I know that if you press and hold the camera button while the camera app is open, it will start burst shooting a ton of pictures. Is there a way to change or disable this? Might not be necessary with the dedicated camera button, but I like being able to hold that button to AF, then release to snap the picture.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dagnasty:
Yes, you can disable continuous shooting from the settings or set it to limit to 20 frames
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
I don't have mine in hand yet. Waiting for the inter-office as it was delivered to the main office and I'm remote.

But the shutter button is a two-stage button. So I would think, that pushing it a little gets you the auto-focus. All the way, takes a pic. Just like a digital camera. Holding takes lots of pics. I would assume that the burst mode can also be turned off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
How's the ear piece volume and clarity. That was a problem with the initial evo. Ear piece volume was way quiet, even at the loudest setting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
I read that you have to hold down the camera button for a little bit to have it skip the lockscreen and go straight to camera. Can you test this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
the main speaker is pretty loud and clear, much better thn the evo 3D's.

Call quality, i only have 1-2 bars so voice sounded robotic, but it got decently loud

i couldnt test the loudspeaker cause my call dropped :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dagnasty:
Nope, got nada
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Yeah, I was mainly referring to the loudness/quality of the ear piece, not speaker phone. I expect the latter to sound so so, but the ear piece should be nice and loud and clear (the galaxy nexus I played with was really loud).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
This phone is amazing fellas. You will see why Apple tried to keep it out. Also the vast majority of the reviews don't do it Justice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Restola:
Even if your phone has a PIN (or password), if you have the camera app as one of your lockscreen shortcuts you can drag that app to open and it will bypass the PIN screen and just use the camera. Leaving the camera app will then prompt for the password.

That's what I read, I dont have a phone in my hands.

Not exactly sure but its pretty crazy. I have a ZTE Optik tablet and an Evo View tab so ill test against those real quick

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Viridus:
First off, this phone is freaking beautiful.

Second, anyone else notice much improved 3G speeds? It almost seems like Sprint has been throttling speeds until this phone came out, lol. Before I was getting 400kpbs on my EVO OG, now I'm getting 1.5mpbs in the middle of the day.

I won't mind waiting for LTE if these are the 3G speeds we're looking at with this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dan330:
until more people get their LTevo's activated.. and there goes the neighborhood.

but sure hope this are signs that better things to come
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Smac7:
okay, i need an explanation for these speeds. Maybe sprint is giving these phones more bandwidth to try to impress new users. It's ridiculous because i have been getting around 50 kbps (with 4-5 bars of 3g) for the last two years in allendale MI with my evo 4g and evo 3d.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Viridus:
It might be there are a lot of Sprint users in your area? I can't really answer that. I'm in Columbus, OH. Sprint has WiMAX here, but no plans for LTE as far as the third rollout based on information from the s4gru site.

I hope you get LTE soon though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Smac7:
i think thats true, but it doesn't explain why some people who also had slow evo 3d speeds saw a huge increase in 3g speed on their new evo's.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Smac7:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jygsaw:
Just some quick initial thoughts:

Been on an Epic 4G since it came out, so the performance difference is obviously night and day. This thing FLIES!

The big screen makes for excellent typing! Coming from QWERTY, that was a concern of mine. But it feels like I can safely put that concern to rest now.

My personal fav SMS app, Handcent, works like a charm :D

3G seems to be a bit faster on here than my Epic 4G, though maybe that's just a placebo effect. We'll see in the coming days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
