[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Semantics:
While I haven't activated my phone, I have turned it on to mess with it. Absolutely gorgeous screen and build quality. The only thing I don't like about the phone, and I really don't like it is sense 4.0. I love my sense 3.0 with some ics thrown in. I really hope I will get used to it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mswlogo:
Overall I like the phone but I have a few nit picks.

Cons)

1) I prefer the EVO 4 Fixed buttons. Removing Menu button was stupid. Now each app puts menu somewhere different. I also liked the search button. And the "Window" button is less useful.

2) Sense 4.0. I don't see the big deal. Seems like the same old thing. For the life of me why can't I Launch Nav instead Google Maps on a contact. Or map it to any app that can take an address. I really expected more. Not huge con. Not any worse than Sense 3.6.

3) Had acouple odd things happen. I must of Factory set my EVO 3D 20 times in the past few weeks because the Virgin Mobile firmware. Every time setup went smooth as silk. My Exchange Email just seemed to fail. So I reentered password (which I believe was correct because I usually show it) and then instantly everything was just there. Strange.

4) One App got stuck updating in Google Play. Stopped and Started and it was ok. Not big deal and I have seen that occasionally, but it's pretty darn rare.

5) The white balance setting is NOT WYSIWYG. On the 3D I can preview the White Balance setting. With the LTE. With indoor incadescent light it looks greenish on every setting until AFTER you take the picture. Then you see the effect in the photo. It's messed up.

6) Camera has severe pincushion. NO HDR, no Panorama.

Pros

1) Love the size and how thin it is. I slapped on an EVO 4G screen protector for now.

2) I like the Keyboard a lot. That tiny bit wider screen makes a huge difference and I like having arrows.

3) VPN over 3G works !!! EVO 3D and EVO 4G both didn't when released.

Neither Pro or Con

1) I had to call sprint to activate with SERO Premium. No big deal. Not really a con.

2) 3G speed doesn't seem any different.

I also work construction and told myself the same thing but once i started handling the phone i just couldn't resist. it's smooth,fast,sexy and just feels "right" in your hand.

Your a better man than me for being able to hold off activating
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
I love it but screenshot I can't seem to post on fb etc unless going out of last shot and going to galleryto upload just a little thing I noticed ..

Also tested side by side hd YouTube and I can't get over the screen is beautiful.

Does anyone notice any small but annoying things ?

The 4th button gone as stated before is a bad decision in my book but maybe with aokp or nav bar would help out .

Can't wait for great things to come

Over all great phone best I've owned
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
Some more things

After using the phone for the better part of the day, there are some other things i would like to comment on.

Out of the box, battery life is great. Or maybe not great, but significantly better than my last two evos, to the point where i love the battery life.

i was having some issues with the internet app. i wanted to disable and set chrome as my default. Clearing internet's default in actuality did nothing, and i was unable to disable it. Links from gmail still opened to it by default. I'm not sure if the issue is gmail specific or not.

Although it has a nice feel, the top layer of the metal is pretty weak. My phone went missing for a good 5 minutes after i pulled in for the night. I found it outside on the ground with a scratch on the metal, connecting to the shinny rim. The scratch was shiny like the rim, and spanned a good .5mm. The reason this was a problem for me is that the phone was in a silicone case, as i wanted to wait for my screen protector to dry before putting on my tpu. It struck me as odd that a phone could be damaged how mine was, with the metal under a silicone case, but alas, its only a small scatch :).

As others have mentioned as well, the camera is pretty spectacular. The speed and clarity of the photos is phenomenal. Once you start zooming in though, it starts to become noticeably pixelated. And geez is that camera fast

I'll continue to inform of anything else I notice, meanwhile, tell me more about your first impressions :D

cheers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Semantics:
Newb question, but where are you getting Chrome for Android? I can't find it on play store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jfenton57:
Screen is wonderful

3G speeds are 25% faster than what I saw with my ET4G at home

WIFI shows full signal whereas ET4G showed 2 bars and this pegs at 20 MBPS where the ET ran at 12

Phone signal shows LESS bars than the ET4G but it's pulling the exact same signal strength

GPS is instant lock on showing far better signal strength than any phone I've had....even indoors :)

Earpiece sound quality is PISSA and that's one reason I got this...I wear hearing aids and this is as good as any BB I ever owned and they were the best!

Connects to my visor mounted BT speaker within mere seconds whereas my ET4G sometimes took minutes.

So far, can't get it to charge off either of my computers no matter what cord I use and I've never had an issue. My guess is there is a "what to do when a USB cord is plugged in" setting somewhere which I haven't found yet.

Still have a lot of discovery to do here :)

Screen size is definitely noticeably larger than the 3D. Also larger thaN MY et4g
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
This is the reason the phone was held up in customs.

HTC's workaround is in settings->app associations.

From there you can select how you want certain actions to handle.

Search for Chrome Beta in the marketpla...er, play store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
search 'chrome beta' in the play store, or simply go to this link and have it download to your device

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...chrome&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

i'm assuming you're using an evo lte, but if not, chrome wont be compatible or available for download on all non ICS devices

thanks, worked like a charm :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
To those complaining that email link automatically opens in browser rather than chrome. That was part of the apple lawsuit that held our phones up. I read the workaround HTC implemented was a new setting called app association (or something like that), not the old Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>Clear Defaults.

Has anyone looked for that?

So pissed that best buy still saying sometime this weekend or upcoming week :mad::banghead::banghead::banghead::screwy:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Semantics:
Yeah I haven't activated my Evo LTE yet, I'm waiting for my case to arrive. That explains why I can't see it in the market from my 3D. Thanks for the heads up to both of you posters who answered me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bnicsk8guy:
Am I the only person having problems with their sd card? Mine won't mount. It did the first time I inserted it but now it won't. Now it shows no music, videos,pictures,etc. Every time I re-insert it, it says "sd card removed". I don't know what's going on!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
That's weird. Not to sound like an ass, but are you putting it in the correct way? Again, not being condescending, but it's always good to check the little things.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bnicsk8guy:
Yes I'm putting it in the right way....lol. I got it to work for a little while but when I start using any of the files it for some reason removes the card. It's happened twice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexjzim:
sounds like an sd card error more than anything
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wfrandy:
I got my phone about 9:00 AM this morning and my first impression of the phone was all good, nice looking, great screen, smooth operating.

The only problem showed up after I activated it, and it is a bad one. I noticed while trying to download my essential apps that the 3g speeds were really slow. Luckily, it has a handy option to hook to the computer and use my internet connection pass through. So, I downloaded Speedtest and tested my 3g speeds. best I got was about 150 kbs down. My og Evo gets about 850 kbs down in the same location. After dinking with it for most of the day I called Sprint support to see if the slow speeds could be fixed. The support person had me do the usual stuff, eventually having me do a full reset. After which I get no data connection at all, it didn't even make it through the hands free activation. After escalating me to several more techs, they decided my phone is broken and they are going to send me a replacement next week. I am totally bummed now.

After reactivating my og Evo it is still getting 850-900 kbs down, so the new one probably is bad, but it still sucks. Sorry for being a downer, but I needed to vent.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
Is it recommended to run down the battery until it shuts off and then recharge it to 100% with it powered down? Mine is at 10% and I was wondering if I should.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eric1985:
Hey guys this might be a dumb question but I'm playing music over the phone speaker to run my battery down, is it normal for the sound to go up and down, like for a split second it will be quieter then come right back up. Is that just the phone/battery saving every ounce of battery or maybe a problem?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
Have you updated to the latest OTA? Maybe 1.12 OTA has problems? If you're on 1.13 then might be a hardware problem with your sd card or LTEvo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ProCision:
First impression with the phone off - Awesome

First impression with the phone on - How long am I going to have to wait to get sence off of this amazing phone?

I don't have 99 problems, just one and its sence. I cant wait for an AOSP rom.

I love the size, weight, screen, sound, camera, speed.

Not required for the battery but proper charging can help train the battery meter....its a lithium ion battery just like most phones
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Myzur:
Here is my initial impression...

The screen is gorgeous. The size, brightness, and resolution are excellent.

The thinness feels like I am holding an iPod Touch - very comfortable.

I'm not too much of a fan of Sense 4. I don't like that the launcher only displays in portrait mode. I switched to Go Launcher and it works great.

The stock browser UI is a bit klunky to use. It could be that it takes some time to get used to it. I loaded Dolphin and it is smooth as silk.

I like having the recent apps capacitive button, but the UI is horrible. It seems to be trying to replicate the iTunes theme. I much prefer a display of the 8 most recent icons. Does anyone know if this is configurable? I may have to go with a custom ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lowetax:
not in hand as i can't upgrade until June 1st,

but from what I've read, with the specs this has

the next 30 days should be pretty damn interesting !

you should call retentions and get an early upgrade if you havent yet. You would be able to place your order today :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xenoetry:
I've searched and can't find it, so I'll swallow my pride and ask. Where the hell is the sd slot located? I can't find it, and I've searched the web and had no luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ProCision:
Pop off the shinny cover on the back. to do so, look for a small gap where the power button is. Just pull it off.

______________________________________

I have a real annoying complaint. They got rid of the 4th button (menu) to add a 1/2 inch black bar with one button on it (menu) ........ who was the mastermind behind that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xenoetry:
Thanks, I really had a dumb moment right there. I just got it and didn't want to destroy the phone looking for it lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
This isn't directed at you directly, but everyone keeps talking about that bar. But on phones that have no soft buttons at all, isn't that bar still there? Only on those phones, that bar also has the other buttons also? The way I see it, once the app makers start to follow android specs, and start placing the benu buttons where they belong, that bar will be gone from our phones, but other phones will still have it, giving us more screen real estate in comparison.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] guitarman584:
So far my only issue is with the location of the USB port. The location makes it difficult to use with my air vent car dock. Other than that, I like it a hell of a lot more than my Evo 4G.

It's gonna take me a little while to master ics and this device..while it looks like old sense its completely different

I got to play with my brother's Evo LTE yesterday and man, that screen is huge! I don't know that I could get used to carrying that thing around. But it's really light and thin. And slick.

Stupid question, is there a place to toggle on/off the LTE? I couldn't find anything anywhere.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spanky34:
You say in the cons that it has No HDR and No Panorama. That is incorrect. It has both. Hit the 'A' in the bottom left of the camera app and both of them are there.

Sound question.

I'm looking thru sound configurations & can't find any equalizer or settings at all except for system sounds. Am I missing something compared to the old Evo.

They moved Friendstream and all its networks into the shortcuts section. When picking the shortcut, it allows you to choose which networks you want to see, or select all of them. There was some serious thought put into the interface and usability of this phone, and it is very obvious. I've never been happier with a phone.
