If I was 'hoping' in a thread I would 'hope' that said thread was relevant to improving the user experience on a development forum. Not useless opinions which xda is now over run with...time for me to go back in my cave for a few months...and maybe when I come out spelling will have improved and the intelligence level will be commensurate...

Edit: sometimes I wonder what I'm thinking when I post stuff...I am not trying to sound like this, I swear!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
yeah I feel like mobile technology should be slowing down any day now...I mean moore's law can only be pushed so far before it hits some type of complications. But then again i'm sure people were saying this years ago also.

I decided not to go completely haywire over the camera and analyze ever single detail, pixel and shade and the end result left me extremely satisfied with this phone camera capabilities. I applaud HTC on the leap they've made in a field that they haven't been particularly strong with in the past.

I'm definitely with you when it comes to battery technology. I really wish we'd see some improvements in that field but it seems like it's been at a stalemate for the last couple years...aside from all the solar powered activity taking place.

Thanks for informing me on what those acronyms meant...Made me realize how obvious obvious troll was. lol

RAM means nothing unless you are a hardcore gamer and no real gamer is playing on a cell phone. So to the avg Joe it means nothing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nabbed:
I chose Evo over sgs3 by looking at specs, devices with similar hardware (like displays), and industry reviews of both.

Of course, all of the reviews said of how much they liked this new Sense version, and how light it was on top of the ics.

And of course, they forgot to mention that all those reviews were complete garbage, and that Sense4 was the most buggy bloated slow resource hogging pos HTC has put out to date. And that as soon as you installed a couple of apps/widgets/live wallpapers, this joke of a skin made an awesome device slower and more sluggish than previous generation Samsung devices (sgs2).

Now I'm seriously considering returning the phone, picking up an sgs3, and probably never ever trying to buy another htc device. Definitely not until they hire themselves a team of competent software engineers, who don't have **** for brains.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Exactly! as developers push out more better and intense apps which are bigger in size and require more resources to run RAM is going to be needed...its part of evolution and will always be asking for more to an extent...

really? come on Freeza....ponder this for a sec......Next May/June-> HTC EVO with 2GB RAM, quad-core 28nm chip, support for 800MHz LTE(this starts being tested in FIT's next year and rolled after, so might or might not see this in 2013 EVO or wait till 2014's EVO), 2.6GHz LTE Support(Clearwire set to have sites up and live by June next yr, up in air if Sprint waits to support this or goes later), SoC supports LTE Advanced!....:eek::eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Oh, you mean like how people might stop using "tl;dr" when they obviously did read it? (How else would one know how to make such meaningful comments on the post?) Or were you referring to how complaining about a spelling mistake looks petty and is ironic when the author himself ends sentences in prepositions? (You might also want to review the proper use of ellipses vis a vis spacing and when to include a leading period, as well as capitalization conventions.)

A spelling error could be a simple case of auto-correction gone awry or just fast typing, but poor sentence structure is on the writer. And I hate that I wasted so much off-topic space on this reply, so please forgive me, Internet.

Also, "overrun" is one word.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I forgive you even though I am unsure if you where poking at me as well in your post. I am not a English major and I know my grammar is far from perfect and online it tends to be aweful. So I appologize to the grammar people as well for my mistakes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caspertodd:
What is it about the screen that blows you away? The reason I ask is because everyone keeps saying that, and the first thing I noticed when I got mine is that the screen is washed out. For example, if you open up Words with Friends, the tiles all blend together. I came from an Amoled phone (Epic), and contrast wise, looked much nicer. Resolution on the other hand is nice. Colors (despite being a little washed out) are well balanced out of the box. I am guessing that those coming from the OG Evo like the screen, and those coming from Amoled may not as much.

I am keeping the phone though because there are so many other pluses that I like about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I can say the screen blows me away for a couple reasons. The colors are awesome, I like the resolution and responsivness of the screen and its easy to see in any light for me.I came from the 3d and I'm impressed lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
There is no such thing as "future-proof." It's a term used a lot when talking about computing and I laugh every time I hear it. Twenty years ago, we had hard drives with less capacity than sticks of RAM these days. I can't think of one single detriment to having more RAM. It may use more power, but it gives the OS more space to immediately work with (excuse my ending a sentence in a preposition).

With phone processors finally breaking the 1.0GHz barrier in recent years, the next major milestone should be 2.0GHz. I would personally rather see a 2.5GHz dual-core processor in a phone before a 1.5GHz quad-core. I'm sure app development will one day reach the point where multi-threaded apps are fairly common and those extra cores will be needed, but a higher-clocked dual-core processor is better for most practical applications. Those extra physical cores don't really shine until you're doing some intense processing, which I don't see happening on a phone for quite some time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] caspertodd:
I haven't tried it in the sun yet. That is one thing that was awful with my Epic.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Its just as bad on the SGS3 too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
I learned something new today . :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
For the next two years we get to read articles popping up every day about how this phone didn't come with 2GB ram...yay.

My Nexus S runs ICS smoothly and only has 512mb ram. 1GB ram is enough at this point. 2GB would be nice to future proof maybe but I have no doubt I will not ever miss that extra 1GB in the two years I own this phone. Other than maybe nVidia's 3D games (which we can't play anyway) or a few other select games that I do not play on a phone most developers write apps to the lowest common denominator. They want as many people as possible to buy and use their apps so they are going to develop for low-midrange phones that the largest numbers of people use.

I have no doubt developers for both AOSP roms and Sense based roms for this phone will edit the memory settings so that they are not so aggressive at killing off processes on this phone and the whole multitasking thing, which only seems to affect heavy users, will no longer be an issue. The same thing happened with my EVO Shift when Gingerbread was released. I would see that damn white HTC loading screen every 5 minutes. A few small changes to the memory settings completely fixed the issue on every single rom I ever flashed and it was fixed months before HTC decided to officially put out a fix (or change as they likely called it. I am sure it was by design just like the multitasking on this phone).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regalpimpin:
Build Quality. Plain and simple.

HTC makes the best devices.

I used to recommend samsung tv's and what not but even that has changed in recent years. I've got a 46" dlp and a 40"lcd that are broken more often then they work.

My sister recently picked up the e4gt,and its been in to samsung twice for LOS issues the first time they sent it back without fixing the issue.

The second time it went in, they replaced the same board again, and the screen? Then they sat on it for over a week and a half, and decided to send a refurb back.

If you can get past the cheap feel samsungs give you and they happen to be working 100% then they can be an alright device. Me personally, I've sworn off anything samsung and consider it to be good in theory, but they try to pull it off as cheaply as possible and in doing so, have to high a failure rate.

As far as the 2gb of ram in the gs3, that's just their gimmick to outsell the HTC's this season. People will see one of the main hardware specs is higher and just go with it. Thing is, at this point we don't really need it. I can run 16 videos windowed at one time on my transformer prime with 1gb of ram without issue. There is no real world scenario that would cause that kind of stress on this phone.

Then there's touchwiz. If I wanted iPhone style icons. And S-rip off of apple this, and that. I'd just buy an apple. Of course you can go aosp, but stock for stock. Sense kills the wiz.

Once you go slcd2 you don't go back.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fatboypup:
welcome to the galaxy Myn ;) I cant wait for mine to be all warm :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kill3rmonk:
For me it came down to which phone was coming out first.

If the SGS3 came out before the Evo, I would own that now.

Also, living in a major city, the faster LTE speed on the Evo will be nice to have.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fatboypup:
i feel alot of folks are feeling this and wont admit it ....... to be perfectly honest if I had 158 bucks in my pocket at walmart the otherday and didnt know the gs3 was coming out this month (which I never believed sprint would have till at least september) I'd be the same boat saying how my evo is wayyyyyyy better :eek:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
I think the GS3 is an amazing phone just like the evo lte, they both have almost same specs, yes 2GB of ram sounds good but I don't want to hassle and trade them, I seriously dislike touchwiz more then sense, and if I could have stock Android I would, but the galaxy nexus had some really bad radios for me, not like disconnecting but more like weak, I'm back to 1-2mbps on my evo and I'm happy with that, if the GS3 has weak radios like it did in the past I'll prefer my evo, but to each their own
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Razgriz:
Why didn't I wait for the GS3? Touchjizz.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
To be completely honest, when I first saw the phone on display at the sprint store it had the "season zen HD" live wallpaper in the background and when my eyes first glanced at it I just couldn't help but notice how vivid and crisp everything was. One of the first things I did when I started playing with the phone was look at some HD pictures and everything just looked so freaking beautiful. This might all be a placebo effect considering I came from the 3d and pretty much and newer phone's screen trumps it, but even now as I mess around and adjust to it, my eyes still notice the crispness of the screen...But like I said, this wasn't really an ultimate deciding factor for me in the end, it was just a huge plus. Honestly, i'd say it's as much of a plus for me as 2gb of ram is for the sgs3...but that's just my OPINION.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
yeah this was obviously a lingering thought in MANY of our heads and i'm sure more than enough peoples anxiety and impatience pushed them towards this phone because it came out first. Not to say that's a bad thing, because i'm sure most of them would have chosen it even a month from now when they had the chance to compare the evo and galaxy.

I was one of the more pessimistic ones when it came to the Evo and if i'm satisified then i'm sure just about everyone else is as well, or at least for the most part...I don't count the OCD people :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
This really genuninely saddens me :(

But if we can get even half of the OG Evo devs here then what comes out of that will be remarkable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
You must not have been on some of the early threads for the EVO LTE. The confirmed list of Dev's is quite awesome. Sucks there won't be a warmrom, but then again. There just might be :D:D:D:D

Dev's produce roms for phones they don't have yet. preludedrew dropped that ROM for the EVO LTE and he doesn't have a phone yet. Believe me we are in good shape. Look at the dev thats happened in less than 2 weeks so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] five40:
I agree with this 100%.

After being shackled to Moto Blur for the past year with my Photon I am in dire need of a unlockable device with a huge dev community. I like what Samsung did as far as unifying the Galaxy SIII in the states.

We will have a wider pool of accessories and ROMS to chose from.

HTC should man up and do the same.

Seems like the carriers are losing power, to some manufacturers at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kujila:
Nobody mentioned Sense UI? :P

I guess a lot of you take the stock ROM off of the phone ASAP. I like Sense a lot, though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raiderep:
Sorry for my negativity the other night, please accept my apology. I hope you end up with the right device for you and appreciate the awesome developers around this site.

Carry on, my interruption was a result of a bad day...simple as that. Won't happen again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PaulHBK:
Because the SGS III won't be a developing beast like the LTEvo already is...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpsheridan:
I'll throw in my 2 cents on why i went with the Evo LTE over the Samsung GSIII.. I've had a couple of Samsung's and I feel like they have left me "High & Dry" with my purchase. With my Epic Touch I have been constantly having to reboot the phone because of the Loss of Signal. It never got a true fix. I relied on this group in order to get it somewhat stabilized. The Radio in the phone just plain SUX's. That has been a major issue for me when it comes to Samsung.. Not to mention the Non-Existing support from Samsung to fix their own equipment. That to me tells me they don't care about the product they put out. My Evo 4G I got updates from HTC that fixed some of the issues and better yet.. I got lots of knowledge and options from the developers on here. That is what made me decide to go with the HTC over the Samsung over all..

Just my humble opinion here..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
WHAT??? No Warm for the Evo LTE? Suddenly I feel all cold inside.... Could've sworn you were coming over with the others....but as much as it pains me to hear that, I still can't see me going back to another Samsung. I've lived through the Moment, then the Epic 4G and recently the E4GT. Now granted the E4GT was a pretty good phone, but I've grown accustomed to the build quality of HTC's phones and I'm a Sense fan.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trukenx:
honestly would never get samsung

Why...

Just knowing that the true pixel resolution on the Samsung Galaxy SIII is 854 x 480(being that 1/3 of the total pixels are green due to Pentile Matrix) would drive me crazy using it day to day.

Also, the User interface even though improved just doesn't impress me. I do not think any UI compares to Sense in just the integration of social an all media and info.

then don't get me started on build quality, after what happened with my Day one O.G Evo(plastic) which literally fell apart on me a couple of months ago, build quality has become a huge part of my mobile purchase decision

And then the Design... gotta say not really doing it for me on the GSIII just doesn't stand out.... and unlike a lot of people i use the kickstand all the time on my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
I'm on your side I like the evo and happy that I'm back. But trust me the screen on the GS3 is good, not as good as the HTC one line, but good enough that it doesn't look bad at all, from personal experience since I had the galaxy nexus
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trukenx:
man i know the GSIII screen is o.k not on par with the one series but O.k.. but i also know it definitely was a step back on Samsung part and i also hate when companies take shortcuts... i own a the Samsung hl61a750 3d ready tv bought it brand new right after the release literally months after i bought it tried to buy the 3d kit and couldn't. Then i went to Samsung to buy the 3d kit and they said that they do not support 3d on those tvs anymore, i go back on the website and they are still advertising the 3d capabilities of the tv.

I love the progression of technology but shortcuts only stunt growth

I think Samsung did take a step forward in securing the exfat Microsoft format and the SMOLED tech does do a great job making up for the fake sub pixels because it does an amazing job illuminating the total pixels but nothing beats the real deal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No one flashes the Galaxy Nexus to any other carrier. Why would you send your phone to someone who claims they can?

And you realize the T-Mobile version is $399 but you paid $350+100+100 for a Sprint one..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
stopped half way through... wall of text ftl.

Sprint model can't be used on any GSM carrier, and has yet to be flashed to any of the Sprint MVNO's either.

Coulda just bought a used GSM model for $300-$350 (even $399 brand f-ing new) and been on your way, using on T-Mobile / AT&T for less than Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowandbehold:
Yup, you screwed up somehow. You do realize there are 2 different versions of the phone? CDMA (sprint, Verizon) and GSM (everyone else).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeyydaprofitt:
Obvious

Lol where to begin... Okay so yes it is obvious that there are 2 types of Phones CDMA and gsm I know the difference, not sure where the thought of me trying to flash a CDMA phone to a gsm network came from but your out in left field on that, gsm uses a sim card no meid or hex number so the phone would only need unlocking for use else where I have a sprint nexus and I'm trying to flash to metro or boost both CDMA carriers this guy in Florida says he can and has done it but like I said I'm skeptical lastly idk why you would add 350 100 and 100 and say that's stupid, did I anticipate the guy walking out the stOre to report it stolen? No did I anticipate the recommended guy off google to no be able to flash it ? No , please use common sense over rushed ignorance also please do a craiglist search find me a slightly used nexus for tmobile for 350 I dare yaaa lol a 32 gb at that nope they are 400+ granted im in the hole for more then that but had no anticipation of any of these events taking place otherwise I'd have scored a new nexus for 350. Lastly I simply asked if its possible to flash which the only answer close to my question came from someone who somehow out of reading my story thinks I'm arogant enough to believe sprint can be used on any network which as I know well is not the case... All I want to know is, why am I seeing intf2 what does it mean this phone as well as most should be flash able it's a very simple task once the phone drivers read correctly, I just wish someone could give some real advice vs talking to me like I'm an idiot I'm hurting lol I got burned on a phone then on google and now xda the fail safe is bashing my post as if I just bought my first smart phone I flash Ron's and Kernals regularly I've flashed an Evo to boost but my little gnex driver can't be found ... Why
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You cannot flash it to boost or virgin or any other network. Its just not been done.

You can find a GSM nexus for $350 no problem (just checked my local CL and found 3 under $350). They're $399 brand new...

I just find it absolutely hilarious that you'd buy the phone without first 100% knowing that you'd be able to flash it to another carrier... and at that, why would you waste your time and money and get locked to a BS carrier like Boost or Virgin? You can get prepaid AT&T or T-Mobile plans for the same price, but with an unlocked device and a better network. Just baffling.

Who can conatct to HTC to request ICS for Desire ?! :D
[Desire General] vijendrahs:
This thread need to move to general.
[Desire General] tajimura:
Huge number of people had already signed a petition on rmd-team.ru, and the petition had been sent.

However, I don't see any point in this - HTC WON'T upgrade Desire anymore. All our hopes to ICS (which are being fulfilled more and more) lie with fellow devs.
[Desire General] nathris:
HTC can't release ICS for the Desire because Sense won't fit on the /system partition(they can't go hacking about like our devs can). Google wouldn't even release AOSP ICS for the Nexus One because it lacked space.
[Desire General] MihailPro:
About petition:

It's true I sent it.

Their answers:

"Thank you. We have forwarded your message to the appropriate department."

After a few days...

"Unfortunately, this update isn't planned. We apologise."
[Desire General] lenny_kano:
Exactly. HTC can't update the desire with ics, because all factory roms have to fit a devices internal partitions, which sense ics will never do (hell, they couldn't even do a proper gb release)

Instead of pointlessly hoping for an official release, help and support the devs that are already getting it working. Its the only way ics is ever being developed for the desire.
[Desire General] neXus PRIME:
I trust shaky with the task.....he has probably already done more then anyone could have hoped when sense 4 was released.... Big thumbs up for him...... He's doing more then HTC....

Sent from outer space using RF transmitters
[Desire General] Meaple:
This is why devs rule over manufacturers. They can get the job done.
[Desire General] pushu.x:
I don't think a company like HTC is incapable of making an update that could change the hboot and create a ext3/ext4 partition on an sd card and make it posibile to install ics with sense4 on the Desire. The thing is that it wouldn't be beneficial for them concidering that they are after all a company that "makes" devices. If they did that then neighter of us would even concider buying a new device than that would mean bancrupcy for them. The main purpose for any company is selling, wheater it's a real or virtual product and HTC produces phisical products not just the software that completes them.

They said initialy that the Desire isn't capable of running GB never the less a version with Sense on it... after that they said that no mater what it can't run ICS... and in that light how many of us can tell them wrong.

In a final saying, it's just down to the devs like Sandvold or Shaky or any of them on XDA and not to create a rom that shows them that there are other people that have a reputation that is earned through hard work and our endless apreciation and deepest respect.

Sorry for my english as it isn't my main language.

Kind regards.
