I got the very first public GNex in the Chicago region... at first I had the purple/blue tint. Now it's gone.

My NS4G was almost the same way. Just not as pronounced.

Give the blue pixels some time to burn in and get dimmer, they are extremely bright.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
I bought mine on launch day and it was the same way.

I dropped it less than two weeks later and shattered the screen... the replacement that Asurion sent me was also brand new and the screen is perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I have a purple tint at low brightness as well but that's nothing that bugs me the least. I actually kinda like it that way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chavezone:
I still have my OG Evo 4g and love it, I however am on my phone ALOT and am very concerned over the non removable battery on the new Evo, I use my Evo with an extended battery and it lasts me about 6-7 hours and always carry an extra extended battery in my pocket since I hit the 6-7 hour mark by 2pm , I stream XM on my phone as well so alot of data usage. I really dont understand why HTC went with this design, like an iphone you have to always be tethered to a power source which is annoying as hell.:mad:

Can anyone with similar usage chime in that has the new Evo. I love HTC and wish to remain loyal but this seems like a deal breaker to me, and like previously mentioned by another user, HTC is great when it comes to updates compared to Samsung.

I am considering the s3 and it does have a slightly bigger screen and replaceable battery.

Any Input, my contract with Sprint is ready for an upgrade

i had the evo 4g battery was horrible.. i had the evo 3d battery was good for me with stock battery.. now i have the lte and i was up in the air for the same reason the battery.. i am super happy with the battery.. i use my phone alot and it has never ran out... i still have like 30-40% when i do to sleep.. battery is way better than i thought it was!!!!! thats 4 sure.. if your coming from the og evo then.. u will be super happy..

The battery is amazing. Enough said haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Homestly, in my first day with this phone I've gotten better battery life than I have with any other phone before, sans my OG Evo with a 3500mAh battery, undervolted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chavezone:
I stream Howard Stern to my Bluetooth headphone for most of the day aswell so very heavy use
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
I stream google music all day and hit the charger at about 7pm with 30% left.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
the LTE is a shizzz!! so is battery life ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] babbit:
You can get the extended batteries on the iPhone, so I'm going to guess that extended battery cases will come out for the EVO LTE. Some of them more than doubles the battery life of the iPhone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Yep to Motorola rockr s9s
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdub4nd:
I would love to see your settings. I stream iheart radio or Pandora for 9 hours every day via Bluetooth starting at 7am till 4:30pm. I get to work with about 98% and plug in every day by noon. Now on days I am not at work I am very happy with battery life. I kept track last Sunday and got approx 10.5 hrs with moderate/heavy use. I consider streaming via Bluetooth for 9 hours pretty extreme use.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Toast95135:
This phone is great on battery. The charger for my tablet died so I used my phone for all my web surfing at home and at work today. 14hrs with 3.5hrs screen on time (at 40-90% brightness), about 2 hours of podcasts, a bunch of stuff downloaded, some games, Instagram etc. I got home half an hour ago and I had 15% left, that's pretty damn good for heavy usage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sachinkhanna:
No doubt, even with medium to heavy usage I can easily get through the day and my work barely has one bar which used to drain my OG EVO incredibly fast. I do have LTE/CDMA mode switched to CDMA only
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
My concern is what happens after a battery loses its ability to hold a charge
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Fresh out of the box settings. I guess haven't messed with anything really.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
If your main concern is battery life and you are a heavy user who doesn't have access to a charger when you need it, then in all honesty this isn't the phone for you.

While the battery is really good, many people are saying it's better than any other phone out, it doesn't neglect the fact that it does drain just like every other battery throughout the day.

You could most likely get through the day with a single charge as a heavy user, but if other factors aren't in your favor such as signal strength then it won't be likely.

You also have 14 days to test the phone out which is more than enough time to see if the battery life will work with your daily routine or not, if not just return it and get the SGSIII.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Toast95135:
The battery looks pretty easy to get to from what I've seen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chavezone:
Thank you all for the input, I guess I have a decision to make.

I love my EVO and really hate to give it up, best phone I've had ever

Good point that I could return within 15 days if I decide I dont like it and switch to the s3, that is what I will do.

Thank you all
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aznmode:
Now the question too is once you start using LTE will the battery still last as long? Probably not unless you are on WiFi most of the time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RedWingsFan:
The non removable battery was a big con for me too. With my past EGOs I always had a few spare batteries for those times I might get too low.and wasn't around a charger.

So I decided to get the new EVO but also get a portable battery pack charger.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I run out of battery at the end of the day.... Really sucks....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I know it sucks I have to plug it in once I get home lol... :rolleyes:

Edit not really I can do stuff from about 5 pm still have battery to watch movies for a hr Not charge it till I wake up. Obviously it changes as I wake up everyday but generally I get well over 8 hrs
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lucidox:
I remember reading that HTC went with the non-removable battery to compete with the iPhone's longer lasting battery. I'm not sure of the technical specifics of how that works, but the concept seems to make sense. It gives the manufacturer more space to work with inside the phone case.

I'd also imagine that for brave users, you could do a use a tear down guide to do a battery replacement in a year or so if the stock one starts degrading.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Hunt4m3x:
The battery life for me has been a ton better. My evo, by noon, i was at 30%. Now the LTE is around 35% when I go to bed. Heavy usage, I work in IT. Plus, I play a lot of tower defense. I just hate where the charging/usb port is. Its so hard to drive and text/email and mess with the radio while eating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaptainRandom:
For those concerned with,

Rrplacing failed battery,

There are tear down video's on youtube that show the battery is tabbed in,

NOT permanent,

A failed battery CAN be replaced
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Battery life is kick ass on the evo. But, I still gotta plug in at around 11am. I use this thing a ton but mainly browsing since I'm not tethering to asus tab until LTE lands.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drbadass:
I must be one of the only people having issues with the battery life on this phone. I unplugged it last night to test, had it connected to wifi, and set it on my nightstand. this morning when I woke up (the phone had not had the screen turned on once) it had gone from 100% to 47%, just overnight with NO use whatsoever. Android OS & Wifi alone were taking up 16+ % of used battery each. Cell standby and Phone Idle both another 10% each. I used to lose about 20-30% of my battery a night on my 3D. I don't understand it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
dont kno if u have tryed using the app betterbatterystats but that app will show u if there is a app thats draining your battery.. if i go to sleep and my battery is at say 90% when i wake up 6 hours later its at 88% my phone only drope like 1-2% at nite when phone sleeping.. something not rite for your phone to be draining like that..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] drbadass:
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try. I see youre running viper, any reason you can think of that might be better on batt than fresh?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah I do too...but I used to get more out of my EVO 3d.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Not me not since the beginning of of the phone had to be glued to the charger lol was lil better the og EVO but this has been amazing.
[Milestone 2 General] sanxbr:
I was high heavy problems with wifi signal...

Even after making a "windsurfer" to redirect my signal it still was unpleasant.

So I took a battery size foil paper and put it above the battery.

Indeed my signal got better. It is not stable (I don't get 3bars all the time, i get mostly 2 floating around -80-70 dbm and sometimes 3 bars) but its not getting dc all the * time.

If anyone could try this to see if it works...

Also, is there any harm doing this?

When the battery heat up, any damage?

Thanks!

Got a CrazyonDigital matte screen protector from amazon (sorry not able to post urls yet - product title is "CrazyOnDigital Screen Protector Film Matte (Anti-Glare) for Sprint HTC Evo 4G LTE One (3-pack)

by CrazyOnDigital")

First issue I had with it was that the size did not match perfectly with the screen size on the e4glte. The edges and the bottom corners of the screen were left open.

The biggest letdown however, was the fact that it was interfering with the proximity sensor on the phone (no cut-out on the screen protector). At first I started noticing intermittent problems with the screen not coming on during calls, and strangely a reboot seemed to fix these issues, so for a while I was unsure if it was a problem with my phone or the screen protector. Today though, I was able to consistently replicate the problem, then took the screen protector off, and voila! no issues with the proximity sensor on several tests.

I really liked the matte finish on this screen protector and it did not seem to affect touch sensitivity at all. What other high quality brands are out there with a similar finish, and of course one that does not interfere with the proximity sensor, that you all would recommend?

Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] presidentsdad:
I flashed mine this week. I didn't have to fool around with the APN settings. I believe Seanz (the developer of the SkyICS ROM) has those in there. I believe that maybe sometimes they might accidentally get wiped so...he provides the details in case they need to be typed back in. It's a great ROM and relatively easy to install (I say relatively because as of three days ago I knew nothing about flashing ROMS, now I've done mine a few times (base plus updates and screen and battery mods)).

GO for it!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chase2000gt:
Highly considering taking back my LTE and picking up a One X on ATT. I just can't handle 200kbs speeds when ATT has HSPA+ in my area running 8000kbs. Hell most of the time my data won't even function. Compared to my OG and 3D Evo, that actually worked decently.

What would I sacrifice? Battery life? Obviously the camera button, kickstand, and SD card..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
You'd be sacrificing the chances of being a part of Network Vision. Wait til it hits your area and try out the LTE and new 3G updates, then make your decision.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] johamsandwich:
don't forget you also have to worry about the locked bootloader issue. Although there's a workaround available already, it looks very high-risk:

Who knows when so-called Network Vision goes live in unannounced markets. If you're not part of the 1st or 2nd wave and/or paying $50 or less/mo as part of some SERO plan, I'd return and go with a more mature data network.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
If you're going to switch, go with the S3. The one x has no storage
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] starplaya93:
i agree 100%. While I'm sure sprint is doing their best to revamp their network it wouldn't be wise to sign into another 2 year contract with them if your data speeds are that terrible and you don't know when the network vision upgrade will hit you...Also everybody is assuming that network vision is going to be the second coming of Jesus for sprint, but until they actually prove themselves you have no reason to believe that their network is going to get any better.

Wimax was absolutely useless for the large majority of sprint customers because of how unreliable it was. I'm sure LTE is going to be better, but i'm not going to take sprints word for it until it proves itself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] groovdafied:
To each their own. I don't' mind the 3G so much, because everywhere I go has either open wifi, or there's wifi at work and at home. Problem solved - at least for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theoner1:
Most importantly, you're going to miss out on the true unlimited plan. Goodluck with that limit data.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] magicalan:
right, no unlimited data, and if there is a "unlimied" it slows down over time, aside from that...its hell expensive..but if you dont mind paying alot of extra for higher speeds...why not.. and from what i read i dont recomend the att one for the reason that it does not have external storage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mastarifla:
3 GB is plenty of data, I bet you don't even use half that per month on sprint. I'm not torrenting on my phone or anything, most apps are less than 20mb, and I'm not streaming full hd movies on a tiny screen.

Do yourself a favor, remember the best speed that you have ever had on sprint (hell even WiMax, I'll be lenient, 6Mbps). Now go into a Verizon or AT&T store and watch their 3g speed absolutely destroy that.

I;m in Dallas, so the city is an LTE firebed, I went into a AT&T store and ran a speed test on their network. I was getting anywhere from 32Mbps to 52 Mbps, yes, you read that correctly, approximately 8x the best speed of sprint.

Stop crippling your phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Eat it iPhone:
If your not doing ne thing like streaming or torrenting what do you need faster data for?

Id rather have slow data, and have it be unlimited...than have it fast and worry about going over. I dont argue that VZ or ATT dont have better networks...they do...but they also charge twice as much for it while giving you less.

Sprints 3g is fast enough for 99% of what i do on my phone (light browsing, email, fb, etc), and the other 1% im usually on wifi for or lte when it comes out in my area.

Would i like Sprint to be faster...sure...do i need it bad enough that id be willing to spend 2 times what i pay now..not a chance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
3GB is plenty? Yeah its plenty if you don't ever used Pandora, iheart or any other streaming radio app and you could forget about if you ever plan to use netflix or youtube. What's the point of all that speed if you can't hardly utilize it. Sorry but I'll take my change on getting locked in a unlimited LTE plan like Sprint then a teasing and expensive plan like AT&T.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TooSlo:
I hate to nit-pick, but EVDO Rev. A caps out at roughly 3000 kbps. I'm not sure where you're going to find a Verizon 3G device that will "destroy" 6 mbps considering that's what they're running on 3G devices.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution-Data_Optimized

While you can also argue that HSPA+ isn't truly 4G, and actually a modified 3G network, and based on the 3GPP standard. AT&T loves to tout this as part of their 4G network, and have fooled most non-technical people. These networks can provide a theoretical 160+ mbps, so yes, any network that can truly take advantage of newer HSPA+ hardware (phone and tower) can pull down incredible speeds.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSPA+

We all know it's not fair to judge these figures against LTE networks, but as an example, my iPhone 4S will pull down about 1.3-1.6 mbps depending on the time of day. I'm excited that they're upgrading my phone after some hardware issues, and will be joining the Android fold once again with either a GNex or EVO LTE.

Ninja Edit: http://i.imgur.com/mHTEM.png - Recent 2 mbps Sprint speedtest. I'm only getting 1.5 mbps tonight though.

Leave be on your way, after NV launch on Sprint and you are stuck paying higher rates and being nickel and dimed you will wish you never left! Sprint's NV will CRUSH AT&T in the end. AT&T still hasn't solved how to get LTE 1XAdvance to work with their 700mhz frequency, and to achieve this they must 1st implement WCDMA, and then upgrade to 1XAdvance. This will be costly, but they will be upgrading to 3g then to 1XAdvance while Sprint will switched completely to 4G by 2014 the completion date of NV.

They will go up , business is business. Shortly after that unlimited will be killed once Sprint sees results. Your claiming tobe future proof without even thinking about the future first.

If you want to try new things go ahead. Theres really no point in unlimited if you cant use it with slow speeds. And the increase in bill will be like what ? 20-25 dollars? Better coverage, data speeds its worth it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
And to top that off, once you have hit your 10GB threshold, Verizon will pop you another $10 per 1GB. So you would be looking at the original $80 + $50 to $100 extra for overages....

Doesn't make any sense to have those speeds if you can't utilize them without paying out your ass... It's all kind of a wash, except I don't have to worry about going over my plan and paying more...
