As much as I am tempted to return my EVO LTE and get the GSIII I have enough upgrades coming up on other lines that I will at least rock the EVO LTE for another 6 months. The removable battery and extra RAM are the only reasons I would switch to the GSIII but I prefer the HTC build and Sense over Samsung's build and TWiz.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
for anyone who has already preordered or is looking to preorder the Galaxy SIII, you might not like this bit of news, but it appears Apple is looking to play the same game they did when they blocked the One X and EVO.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
Well those who are in their waiting period to return the EVO, & wait for the SGS3 before they run out of time will definitely be discouraged if they want the SGS3 with this delay. I am considering being one of those people too. The Dev community is the deal breaker for me since both of these phones have pros and cons that put them on an equal ground. So knowing which phone will have the better Dev community is my biggest hurdle.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
That's true as of right now, but who's to know when the SGS3 is available, if Roms are easy to port within the variants of the S4, it sounds to me like the dev support would be greater than the Evo? By variants i mean all the carriers in the U.S. combined with Canada. I'm not that strongest in phone portability, so correct me if I'm wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Doesn't really matter truthfully. We can only live in the now, because these are the phones we have now and they are being dev'd now. Those wanting to go for the GS3 will have to see how that goes in the future. IMO the dev'ing should be good, but thats irrelevent to me simply because i don't plan on switching from the Evo Lte atleast until there is a phone released worthy of upgrading too, which probably won't be for atleast a year.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
I agree but did see in the s3 international side talks of a sort of international dev support in a way by way of ports.

But this new lawsuit may hinder people on that 30 days return.

I will get both international and have the LTE EVO but cant decide over us or UK version this pending delay along with the blue color delay makes me worried on the us version idk either way both are incredible devices and what ever u chose should be a great choice or f-it and get both :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
That's true. I have to the 22nd to return my EVO, so if there is a delay, I'm not going to go through the effort to purposely be phoneless. And I do love the charmeleon rom. If there isn't a delay, it'll probably be more ideal to switch though. 2GB ram is future proofing, especially for updated android versions, 2 years is a long time to have a phone, the less quickly it becomes out of date the better (I'll pass on an upgade). Dev support seems to be on par between the EVO 4G successor and the major carriers all carrying the same phone, or at least leaning in the SGS3's favor.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
I agree with most everything, but the 2 GB RAM thing though.....look at the size of ICS and then the size of the S/W stack that makes up touchwiz. The RAM you will have left to work with will probably be IMO the same ratio of RAM in the EVO LTE. But because samsung's ROM is bigger they absolutely NEEDED more RAM to keep if from lagging like it was running donut. I think proportionately it will end up being the same, but 2GB just looks better on a spec sheet to the avg joe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dud386:
Sticking with the EVO. I went from the original EVO to the SGSII. It's a fast platform but there were 2 major bugs that I couldn't deal with, 1. Phantom taps, it would just start freaking out, the menu would pop up and apps would exit. 2. GPS was HORRID. It would take 10 minutes or more to lock, or you could reboot the phone to get a lock.

There are definitly some things I miss from TouchWiz, but I'm getting back into the Sense game.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] makisupa79:
I'm in the same boat. Picked up the LTE on Tuesday, and I was planning on returning it in 14 days, getting the SG3 for 14 days, then making a final decision, but I am really impressed with the LTE, and my OG EVO was amazing, so I might keep it and not take the SG3 for a test run.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
I was on the fence, especially since I was experiencing a yellowish screen and below average battery life. But seems like both those issues have been resolved and the SG3 is no longer an option in my head.

The Evo legacy will live on with me (for at least a year or two). This phone is a beast. I can't see SG3 outdoing it for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
I love that there are a lot of those who are in favor of the EVO even though there's a "better phone" in terms of hardware. Because if i decide to keep my EVO and not switch to the SGS3 I'll be surrounded by EVO fanboys (not derogatory) which will only boost morale
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Please explain how the "hardware" is better when the processor is the exact same one that is in the EVO?? Slight difference in GPU but is irrelevent unless you are some hardcore gamer. But the guts are essentially the same. care to expound???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
The problem is there will always be a 'better phone' on the horizon. That's why you have to just make a decision eventually and stick with it (without buyer's regret).

That's one of the nice things about the Evo and Sprint. Both of them have great loyal fans. It makes the environment very pleasurable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Worse screen and more ram. How is that better hardware? I'd take the better screen over the spec that won't matter in day to day use.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Triny511:
I was only referring to performance, but don't get me wrong, I love the EVO's screen. I also put quotation marks around better phone because I was implying that the consensus since they share similar specs, but the SGS3 has a slight edge with future posibilities of that needed RAM. It's all pros and cons though. I love the dedicated camera button on the EVO, but dislike some of the occasional multitasking lag. I'm speaking very critically of the phone because, if I didn't it would be too hard to compare the two. In general, best phones available at the moment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dev_man77:
I have had the EVO LTE for about a week now and I am returning it today. The only positive I see of the EVO over the SGS3 is the dedicated camera button. I dont understand how any of you like SENSE better than touchwiz. SENSE is much more intrusive and really annoying. For instance changing brightness you have to add widgets to your home screens. That CM9 feature for notification bar swiping to change screen brightness, Guess where that came from? TOUCHWIZ gingerbread was the first with that option. There is no power control in the pull down bar so if you want to quick change a toggle you have to press home and leave your app.

The power button on top is the worst place ever for a hone this wide, I constantly have to re adjust holding the phone to do it, power on the side makes much more sense.

The music app on this phone is garbage, have to pres many more buttons to get where you want and its slow and laggy and force closes all the time

People complaining the touchwiz launcher looks like gingerbread? The EVO LTE launcher looks like vanilla gingerbread if you ask me. That and Samsung lets you use the touchwiz widgets in 3rd party launchers, SENSE however does not.

I know there is button remapping and other music apps ect you can do to change on this phone but to me it just isn't worth it. SENSE is the worst overlay ever in my opinion.

I really gave this phone a chance. I like the fact that it gets better cell reception then my E4GT and camera button but I will gladly take back my E4GT for ease of use. GGlad I held on to it to hold me over for the SGS3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coffeehandle:
Then why get the phone in the first place?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
Why would you have to hit home and leave your app to change a toggle. Pull down the notifications, hit settings, change toggle.

While that is one more click then touchwiz.. so? Have you seen the implementation of the power controls on the s3? HUGE GINGERBREAD STYLE TOGGLES.

I'd rather not have them personally, then have them be that big and obnoxious.

Also good to note, that while the sense implementation of the settings did change a few things, mainly background color. It still uses ICS style toggles.

Whereas Samsung actually worked to put it back to a gingerbread style. So as to not throw off their large userbase with moving things around.

I guess, why would you want to have the newest phone, running the latest android OS. but have it limited to appease the non-tech savy group that wouldnt be able to locate something if it moved. How long will they degrade the OS to provide familiarity?

Launchers can be replaced. The settings requires a new systemui

Haven't had one force close. Or any issues with music app. Although I do prefer the standard play music.

Maybe you have small hands? i dislike the power on the side and volume on the left personally.

iPhone style icons. yuck

S-this, s-that, s-gimmick, s-knockoff. yuck

Aluminum>>>>chincy plastic

kickstand>none

camera button>none

Everyones got their own opinions. The main thing to take from this is that, most of us are going to pick our device based on hardware. Software can be changed.

And the build quality with the evo is second to none. The shutter button, kickstand, and aluminum frame matter more then an extra gig of ram.

Enjoy it whatever you end up with

I was considering the SGSIII as well, but to be able to get the EVO 4g LTE for 100 bucks? I couldn't pass that up.

Yay best buy!

Just for kicks, the only things that would have swayed me over to the SGSIII were the RAM (might not be a big difference now, but if it's there I wont complain!) and the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coffeehandle:
Yeah I mean yay for ram, but I won't use it. And as far as the bootloader its all in due time. Nothing wrong with messing around stock for a while
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
I've been using ny sgs2 with 1 gig and ics since day one and have some issues.but most are delt with by the great devs in.the area so I feel that the 1gig 2 gig quad or dual is a wasted argument.

if we can all utilize what the contributers on xda and other places give us we should be in great shape we get things and enjoy these devices much more than avg users as is anyway .

idc who devs for who or what device only reason I want these devices is I'm obsessed with electronics and love the Android community but the delay thing is going to break innovation as said.many times before we are the ones who pay the price apple still will have billions as will htc and Sammy so we get the crappy end with products that are controlled by a power money hungry Nazi company.

+ anyone one who says the EVO lte won't have a good dev community is wrong .

So basically if u choose either phone u will be happy us or international etc never sway decisions based off opinions unless you value them more than.ur own

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
Posted over at PC World, for anybody who has preordered the device.

The Samsung Galaxy SIII will not initially support LTE.

Quad-core processors are pretty fast, but they're also pretty large and Samsung apparently couldn't fit an LTE chipset in with its super-speedy CPU. So when the device hits the shelves in Europe this month and in the U.S. next month, it will have HSPA+ connectivity and standard Wi-Fi options, but no LTE. For U.S. consumers this means that the initial version of the device will likely be available on AT&T and T-Mobile, both of whom have nationwide HSPA+ networks, but not on Verizon and Sprint, which both rely on the CDMA-based EV-DO Rev. A for their 3G technology.

Samsung has said it will release an LTE-capable version of the device sometime this summer so you might want to hold off on buying it if you absolutely must have the fastest mobile broadband technology available.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
So if that's true no point.in getting it lol and why att would get the quad makes no sense since they have LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dcaplinger76:
Isn't that why Sprint is releasing it as a dual core LTE device that will be available on the 21st ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AngelofChaos:
must be why the other carriers went with the krait, though I wonder if the LTE model they're releasing later on down the road will have any other added on hardware.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigRitz:
Sorry but the info you have is in correct the GSIII launches on all 4 US carriers the same day Jun 21st period all with the same chipset qualcom S4 dual core the only rumor that was almost correct was that t-mob was the only US carrier that would have the ability to use the quad core since it will not be upgrading its network, Sprint,Verizon as well as ATT are all moving forward with the new LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
Yup, really tho like I said you really don't need quadcores just yet, I haven't seen any really intensive app or games like pc have to justify
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
I'm starting to see more justified explanations of why not to get the quad or is it most just can't pay it or want to pay the other version no quad isn't needed but I don't need another sprint phone having the same s4 chip with a slower gpu than the international version that's what I don't like if not for the adreno 225 is the s3 I'd get it just on the fact two gigs ram but the story of the CPU as powerful hmm pointless because most benchmarks show dual core support not quad even so the quad edges out the s4 by small margins until you get to the more gpu related benches to where the us version is slower no question about it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SPreston2001:
Quads simply aren't compatible with LTE at the moment so that's why the US versions won't have them. I'm sure once the wrinkles get ironed out we'll see some quad core chips in a year or two....

Hi!

I love Sony(Ericssons)'s "swype" keyboard. I've tried different sliding keyboards like TouchPal and SlideIt, but they are not nearly as good as Sony's. I'm currently running AOKP(I run AOSP roms mostly), and since it has Android Keyboard instead of Xperia Keyboard, I'm asking someone to post a link or something to a flashable keyboard or something.

I have the keyboard apk on my SD(extracted from a stock rom), and I've tried installing the .apk and pushing it to /system/app, but neither method worked.

I'd be grateful if someone answered! :)

Thank you!

Hi guys,

Is anyone experience an intermittent audio stutter on the YouTube app. I was watching some YouTube videos this morning and there was no issue, however just 5 minutes ago I fired up YouTube and on every video I view every 30 seconds to 2 minutes the audio will stop for less then a second then continue.

Really annoying, sound off if you have it guts. It seems be be intermittent.

I've had this problem too but its fine at the moment running the latest LeeDroid rom.

I've had this bug happening to me as well. The problem is exaggerated when using some kind of EQ or DSP app/ widget.

What really annoys me is the loud pop whenever the audio chip is being turned on/ off. This can be heard (especially well with headphones) in every app that plays sound.

hi ppl;

i have a new LG 2x i read a lot in the forum and i dont get any conclusion :S

can someone tell me what are the rooms stable and bugs free?

thaks a lot
[LG Optimus 2x] slebit:
If you want a stable and bug free rom i would recommend temasek's cm7 rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] rockaroller:
No rom is perfect or completely bug free - even stock isn't. So the choice of which rom you'll use depends on some tradeoffs. If you can live with some forced closes and the lack of hardware acceleration isn't an issue, I'd say go with CyanogenMod 9, since ICS brings a fantastic user experience. Otherwise, CyanogenMod 7 is a great choice, but it lacks some convenient stuff from stock, like HDMI settings and some cool widgets, for example, but is definetly faster.
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
If you are looking for stable, a stock rom free of brand software, but it's always recommended to try and see what fits you. You have some gb tweaked roms, CM7 and WIUI which is the one I'm currently using (and loving), have had some randoms reboots but it's still worthy.

[LG Optimus 2x] dinmorerbedst:
Dont pick any CM rom at all, the rom's cant handle a baseband that work 100% so you get a lot of system FC and statusbar is gone, and also a lot of instability and battery drains.

If i were you go for stock, the AmnonRom V20q

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544105 is a nice one.

Baseband : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1500443 get 313 only one working for me of so many basebands, and i have a SU660 :S

If you have a normal 2x go for 420, my mate says he waited a year for a working baseband and it is the only one working for him.

People who are saying that CM is stable on 2x is ether A. Protecting the dev so he can continue working, or B. lieing to make them self feel better(or pick a reason).

Too many tests have been done on the basebands and none of last year basebands work.

@dinmorerbedst:

It sucks that you have had that bad experience but this doesn't mean others have that, too. I don't know if you're just unlucky and got a bad phone or didn't read enough to flash the right CM builds.

Most people are very happy with Cyanogenmod builds and they run great for them. Period.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rehtori:
I hope you all who have updated your device would care to share a little bit more than "it's great" or "it's crap". This thread now seems to get a little bit better, but it could be really good if you guys could open up a little bit what did you do etc. so that it's easier to determine what worked / what didn't.

I'm frustrated with LG at the moment and want to get a custom ROM. Therefore I do really appreciate your comments and experience as some of you have been already experimenting in this area. Now I'm just trying to figure out what did each of you do and I'm willing to write / update instructions what to do for this device if I get it to work.

I'm on CM9 since arcee's sk, and though it's not perfect it's fast becoming pretty stable, to me at least. My baseband is 405 with matching ril and all works fine, no reboots, no bsod, no nothing. Tested nova hd, owain since 1 to 74, even MIUI V4, and all works really well.

Also temaseks CM7 is the most stable rom i tried, so either you have 2 faulty devices or i am one lucky bastard.
