[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Alpine-:
What do you guys think about upgrading to the Evo 4G LTE from the Evo 3D? How many of you were Evo 3D owners? I can definitely see upgrading from a OG Evo. It is not a HUGE leap in terms of hardware and OS with a Evo 3D though. They will both be running ICS (if you arent already on your Evo 3D). I dont see anything I do or run that requires more power than what the Evo 3D has. I just dont know if I want to waste my upgrade in December on the 4G LTE and then have a much better option come out in like January-March. Obviously, the 4G LTE will perform better and have a much better camera. I wish we knew more about the HTC phone roadmap and what other options were coming.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrInquisition:
I'm staying on the 3D only because my area has great coverage in 4G WiMax. If I switch to the LTE, I would downgrade my speed for the next year and a half - two years (we are not even on the road map to upgrade here).

It is sad as well because with all of my credits, Best Buy was going to pay me $10 to take a LTE off their hands.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Can't tell if your serious or not....have you seen the thread I had over in the 3D section? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1571387

In terms of stock hardware and OS it IS a big leap from the 3D...no question
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Alpine-:
I agree. But will it be the best for another year or will I have buyers remorse in February. I don't want to upgrade then see a new flagship in March.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
there will always be a new flagship every year around this time. If your an HTC guy then each year about this time is when the flagship will be out....If you debate Samsung, then the Fall is theirs given the history of their release in the US...

If you are not for upgrading every year then its up to you really...next year HTC flagship will best this one just like this one has the 3D...likely to include a quadcore SoC from Qualcomm this time and also include support for the 800MHz LTE and quite possibly the 2.6GHz LTE from Clearwire too, given the 800 will be set to be flipped on in later part of next year, and Clearwire has agreed to have 5k sites up by next June if i recall correctly too...There is a very very slight chance they dont include those bands but imho its minimal chance if if not in '13 they will in '14...imho

If you use the heck out of WiMax right now and are not in the first round of NetworkVision deployments then the decision might be to hold off to be honest...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xTmDarren:
you'll always remorse- But right now with quadcore problems not working with LTE- even the galaxy SIII here in America will be running the same CPU/GPU combo. So this is probably the longest period of time you want have to "remorse" over a new better phone coming out on sprint..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Dude no phone you buy from now till the end of time will be the best phone out a year from when it came out. In the tech world it just doesn't work like that. Company A see's company B's release and then takes their phone and makes it just a little be better 2 months after company B releases it. And so on and so on and so on. Every couple months something new and a little bit better it released. Its a never ending cycle. So you will always have buyers remorse or you will never buy a phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] verusevo:
Keep in mind the sheer number of EVO products that have been released since the OG EVO and how many of those do you or anyone else actually remember besides the EVO 3D. This(EVO 4GLTE) is Sprints newest Flagship phone. It was specifically released for people who purchased an OG EVO and their contracts are now up. They will certainly release a minor update to this phone or a competing brands but don't expect another Flagship phone until 2 years from now so we can upgrade from this newest handset
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Alpine-:
Exactly. Do you think there will be a new HTC phone in Jan-Feb (Q1) of 2013? I feel like its a minor enough upgrade that I can wait longer and get something slightly beefier in Q1. I just have no idea of the HTC hardware roadmap.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] indiscriminant:
No, I don't think there will be another HTC phone in January that is powerful.

Look at their past. June Release 2 years ago of EVO 4G, Spring Release after that for EVO Shift (barely better but keyboard), June Release 1 year ago EVO 3D, no other high end until now.

Based on past experience no there won't be another "HTC Flagship" device in January, likely next April we start to hear about the next May/June release phone as they do this each summer for 3 years straight now consistently.

I had the DERP ICS rom on my 3D, best ICS rom I found and even then it doesn't touch the responsiveness of my new LTE. It will be great for my wife though so I will still have both phones.

We have minimal wimax coverage in Indy so that was never an issue for me since we never really got it anyways. We are on the second deployment for late this year early spring LTE though so it was worth it to me as I travel a lot for work and the 3 major hubs I go to all are on first deployment for LTE and should have it soon.

YMMV
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Let's not forget the EVO Design 4G. If they release another phone in January, it'll be a smaller variation... Maybe a One S Variant?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brnail:
Here are my thoughts as a person who has upgraded through all of the Evo variants.

The LTE is a substantial upgrade over my 3D BUT I live in one of the first LTE coverage areas.

If I had to give up Wimax and wait a while for LTE to roll out, I would not upgrade. I do use wifi, but that is not enough to overcome a lack of LTE or Wimax IMHO.

If I did not have Wimax coverage now, I would upgrade.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] indiscriminant:
Although it carried the moniker of EVO I would put it in the category of the Shift. It really wasn't top phone at the time. Wouldn't consider it a flagship phone like the summer releases.

But yes I did not mention it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Shift and design where just new.versions of the hero
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] princebama:
Youre talking DECEMBER though. New Nexus devices, Iphone 5s, and tons of other stuff will be out then. No way I would be thinking about a 6-7 month old phone at that point. I was throwing the Galaxy Nexus in my mix of deciding with S3 and EVO LTE and it was in last place in all my personal comparisons. Things get dated quick in the smartphone world, just how it is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slayer69:
This

Just this screen shot alone explains how much better this phone is:

Stock with no changes!!!

:D:D:D:D

Yes I did come from the 3D.......this new phone is lighter, bigger, faster....there is just no comparison.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wrxlvr:
Quadrant on Evo 3D running the Team420 ICS ROM - 2227

on my LTE - 4764

I'm VERY glad I upgraded. The screen is so much nicer, the phone is larger but the phone is lighter, and it is just better all around. The camera is so slick.

Love it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
If you exclude the 3D. The jump from EVO 4G to EVO 3D was not huge.

If exclude 3D and WinMAx. The jump between EVO 3D and EVO LTE is pretty huge IMHO.

It's so thin and perfect sized screen (and does not feel too big in your hand).

Blazing fast, much nicer buttons.

I didn't fumble on the keyboard on the EVO 4G. I constantly did on the 3D.

On the EVO LTE I no longer fumble again.

That tiny bit of width loss on the 3D was critical, I thought I'd get used to it and never did.

I could have lived with the 3D another year. But this device is really classy.

I gave my wife the 3D. And she was fumbling the keyboard. I feel so guilty. It's a brand new EVO 3D I just got replaced. That was it's biggest fault for me.

She has smaller fingers and she is coming from a Touch Pro2 with a stylus.

I started this thread for the people who have unlocked their bootloader or their carrier won't allow the ics update(like me:confused: )

So... When the official update is out can someone create a ftf file for us to feed our lovely phone? :p

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scivias.a:
I have JXD s7100B with Android 2.3.4. After rooting it and killing cell apps (and all unnecessary apps) it's battery lasted about 4 hours and it was OK. I used Battery Calibration from Google Play to try and get some more and after that it started acting weird: It could not boot (it would loop the bott screen) unless it's on the charger. After it boots it would drain the battery in less than 20 minutes! When I try to charge it it would charge to full in 10-15 minutes but when I disconect the chatrger, it will again last <20min.

After a few days it started acting normaly (booting and battery life) but few days after that it started the same again:cannot boot unless on charger and lasts <20min. I tried recalibrating battery again with Battery Calibration, reflashing firmware with custom rom and with original rom from the manifacturer - nothing. It still acts the same.

Once, while using bitrider's custom rom (I still can't use URL's ), I booted it and got black screen with no icons nor drawer (i guess launcher crashed) but with only the notification bar (battery level notification, working clock) and touch screen not working. I left it like that to see how the battery will work and it lasted normaly! After that I experimented with two original firmwares from the manifacturer and it drained battery fast like before. If I start JXD in restore mode battery lasts long there too.

So my guess is that battery is OK but software somewhere in Android is reading baterry level of 100% as 100% but of 97-98% as 15% and it forces power off although battery has juice to power the tablet. Is there an app that can tell to Android how to see battery or could I do it by editing the firmware somehow. Enything to make it work like it did.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
Do you have a custom recovery? If so, I think there is some way to delete the battery configuration files from recovery. You charge the device until it says it's full, delete the files via recovery and then boot normally again. Then the OS will regenerate the files.

This is the same thing Battery Calibration should do, but maybe it's doing it wrong or something.

It could also be that you have some app that is draining the battery. This would explain why the battery lasts longer when no apps launch. Install BetterBatteryStats from the market to see if some app you have insalled is causing wakelocks (these drain your battery a lot). It is a paid app, but if it fixes your battery life, it's well worth it. You should probably try this before the other thing with the recovery.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scivias.a:
Thanks for quick answer :)

Did that and nothing changed :( . I charged it to full and used Root explorer to delete batterystats.bin in /data/system and OS made another one but it did nothing.

Done (on your advice): nothing on the lists last longer than 20 seconds (I've just turned it on and let it drain). Application doesn't explains why I can't start it without charging it, why, when I deplet it, I only need to charge it 10-20minutes to full and why it happens on three diferent firmwares :confused: (Theoreticaly, maybe the same firmware - one on english, one on chinese and one made from chinese, but that chinese (original) worked normaly before Battery Calibration).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
Well, apologies for making you waste money on that app when it didn't help then :(

Have you tried reinstalling stock ROM after doing a wipe in recovery first and just starting all over again?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scivias.a:
No problem, we are trying to fix something more valuable here :).

I've reinstalled stock ROM a few times but I didn't do wipes. I just did it one after another. I'll do a "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery mode and then install stock ROM. I'll post here what happened.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SifJar:
That might be the problem then, I believe installing new ROMs without doing a "wipe data/factory reset" can sometimes cause issues.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scivias.a:
Same :( . I've done data wipe/factory reset from recovery mode (it has nice "are you sure" screen 7 "No"s + 1 Yes + 3 "No"s) and then installed stock chinese ROM but again battery starts draining 3-4% per minute. Is there a partition in Android that doesn't get wiped with factory reset?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlitoschivas:
The system partition does not get formatted when performing a wipe "data/factory reset". Can you check to see if you can format the system partition in recovery?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scivias.a:
That's an interesting information. I'll see if I could format it somehow. Options that I have in recovery are:

-reboot system now

-apply update from sdcard

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-wipe media partition and

-reboot into factory test
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlitoschivas:
Has anyone ported clockworkmod recovery for your device? If so, that recovery has the option to format system. Has someone created an all in one wipe that included formatting system for your device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imheroldman:
Any super wipe script should work

It sounds to me like your battery is actually faulty. Try another battery, or put yours in the freezer for about 30 min, then charge.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scivias.a:
Fixed it!!!!

User named Friend on the apad forum posted that he found somewhere how to fix this issue and I tried it and fixed it. Thank you all who tried to help me - it is nice to see normal, helpfull people on the net. Thank you very much.

On a more serious note, my toolkit is FOR s-off users. It does not help one achieve s-off.

And to answer OP's question, currently, the only way to s-off the amaze is through the JuopunutBear method. From what I've heard, the J-Bear method may be tricky, but as long as you follow directions, it is pretty straightforward. Took me many tries, but as long as you use the correct
