Oh....hell....no! Not another one. Look BRO, stfu. You've been on these forums for all of what 5 minutes, and you're tossing around the noob word like you know something that Fernando doesn't. These are development forums. If you need help developing something, you came to the right place. If you need someone to help you buy a phone, haha, go back to the store with your mommy and get a flip phone.

Calling anyone with 7000+ posts a noob is just flat out ignorant. Especially one with a recognized anything tag below their names. And not to sound arrogant, but especially not someone in or associated with this bad seed.

So go back to your pokemon cards. This is where the adults hang out

Just another useless Samsung troll thread.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] massiveian:
You are quite wrong actually. I started this thread to see if anyone else had justified returning this device due to its faults, not to start a war. I am no fanboy of either Samsung or HTC. I owned the hero, moment, evo, and now the EVO 4g LTE. I'm sorry I am having legitimate issues with my phones data speeds and reception. I started this thread to see if the issues this phone is having was enough cause for others to return the phone. And yes it is this phone and not sprints network. I never had issues like this on any of my previous phones both HTC and Samsung. I understand you are here to try and help but please don't insinuate that I started this thread as a Samsung troll.

I work hard for my money like most others do, and I want to make sure I am making the right decision. As far as the radio being updated. Yes it can be updated but we don't know if the issue is the physical antenna which won't help us if there is a software update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbadboy2007:
This is a public forum you can post whatever you want just cuz those people are trolling you and don't understand that there is a higher quality available is all them. But your issues are legitimate even if I am a Samsung fanboy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
Then I would suggest you ask for help. The title suggests a trend based mostly off of sprints network issues. You're really just looking for others to validate you taking the phone back. Not looking to resolve the issues you are having.

An example I experience on the other hand is that my sprint evo gets great reception in my office where my Verizon rezound gets horrible reception.

And don't think that these forums don't have people specifically attacking certain phones for the purpose of promoting another. Xda has tremendous influence.

fernando sor, would you happen to know more about the radio's? Is it something that should be a night and day difference between a 2/3 year old samsung phone and brand spankin new HTC phone?

I'm pretty much oblivious, but I had believed sammy's radios were generally of lower quality than HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
I'm sure they will push an update for the radios. But clearly some areas are effected by the switch sprint is working on. It was all over the news tho. I mean I knew that it would be about 8 months before the lte kicked in. I guess I'm just surprised no one seems to have had this info before hand. It made me think about getting this phone.

True I have two smart phones. One having lte but I'm getting solid three g speed

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbadboy2007:
They weren't lower quality as they were Qualcomm chips just like HTC. Samsung had terrible software coders. They have worked very hard to be at least at par with HTC. Motorola has a cdma patent that gives them superior signal quality over everyone. So if signal reception is your biggest factor than Motorola is your manufacturer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeffsanace:
Ok, my 2 cent. First off the radio is the best I've had on a Sprint device. And I've had many. Have you exchanged for a replacement? Didn't read the entire thread, that's why I'm asking. It is quite possible that you have a device with a problem. But I will tell you this, there is absolutely nothing better about the sgs3! The only place you will hear different is from a Samsung fanboy. But if you think there is I would hope that you yourself can make the decision to switch. After all that's why we have choices. As to the other ASSHAT! This is an HTC device forum, if you don't like it, GET THE HELL OUT! DOUCHE!

I must be really lucky because my phone has been rock solid with no issues. The WiFi always connects, no bouncing of signal, no issues with cell signal, no battery issues, no rebooting issues, no bluetooth issues, no camera issues, no text messaging issues, etc...

The only "issues" it has are there by design and have been, or will be, changed via custom ROMs. (i.e..Stupid 3 dot menu thing, no landscape on homescreen, 3G notification fix, etc..).

I had the OG EVO and the EVO 3D. Both of them had zero issues too that everyone complained about.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeffsanace:
I would agree since I'm working with Sprint right now on the rebanding project. They are slowly upgrading and testing every Site in their network. Part of that is being slowed down by the rebanding they need done before they can fully commit to network. Because the FCC is breathing down their neck.

Unfortunately I will be exchanging mine the the 21st when the S3 comes out. I love this device but the S3 has something about it that is drawing me in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gdrocks:
The only positive thing I was seeing with the SGS3 was the possibility of a larger dev following and the 2gb of ram. But considering the way I use my phone, I am barely going to eat up 1gb (except for now, since sense keeps taking up my bytes!)

Thank you all for the insight!

Now that is acceptable, someone who just makes up their mind. Kudos

I would look at more ram as always a positive thing but I have zero lag on this phone. And for me the design of Samsung phones is unappealing. I have to look at the phone a lot obviously and samsungs are horrid looking

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbadboy2007:
I was referring to even before network vision so that's null. And everyone in here is discussing sprints network not att or tmo which is mostly discussed in the link you provided. So my statement stands accurate between handsets and Motorola having superior Cdma signal quality. I will say that if your area is done being upgraded then you will prolly have more consistent speeds. But I'm using a different device right next to this EVO and get way slower speeds on this EVO so I'm sorry but it is the radio and not the network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] freeza:
The Galaxy Nexus also doesn't have a bloated UI layer like Sense.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
I don't have an evolte yet, but i just ask people don't make your decision based upon thinking an update will fix anything. We are talking sprint\htc here. I have an ics rom on my evo3d, but where is that official update? Still waiting and waiting. Enjoy your phones whatever way you go. I hope to join in soon.:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
CDMA signal is transmitted by a tower. I looked to see if there was any reference to Motorola having superior radios but i couldn't find it. You could be right about that. But in all fairness i can't agree with the blanket statement that a company as large and successful as Samsung has horrible programmers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
I've done a lot of investigating today, and I now believe HTC when they say multitasking is working as designed.

Memory settings are a bit high, but ultimately, this ALL comes down to available memory. I've monitored the hell out of everything and this phone simply does not have enough memory after Sense and the S4 chipset get their hands on it. CM9 will help slightly, but it's still a hardware issue at this point, I'm fully convinced of that.

Return it immediately if you can, don't buy it if you haven't. This phone has a hardware flaw that Samsung figured out but HTC neglected.

Yes other phones, with different chipsets and software, do not have this phone even with 1GB of RAM. ICS takes more. Sense takes more. S4 takes more. Browsers take more. It's just a losing situation.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
Do you have the phone?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
Yes, I have this phone. Monitoring services and memory, I don't see any hope for this thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
I'm just not seeing that. I get what your saying. More memory is always better but I have zero lag. Great battery life. If the phone was struggling then I would see it as an issue but it isn't for me

Same here...well unless I started up a ton of things and leave then running for a bit.. like 10 lol. even on the gn 10 or so after a bit gets that way how often am I going to be using 10 apps at once tho? I usually get to that point by being lazy n just hitting home lol. But a few swypes and I'm good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Androidfreakz:
I will not return my phone,I like it a lot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jeffsanace:
It's ok if you're a cm fan or aosp, but that statement is absolutely ridiculous to say the least. I run the crap out of it every day with multitasking working perfectly for me, sometimes with 10 apps running. I see absolutely no stutter or lag on this device. And I'm still getting 13 + hrs battery life. So don't listen to this statement, try it for yourself and you'll see. Unless he's comparing to a pc I don't see another device outperforming it. Show me if there is!

Well the 10 apps I was referring I guess I should have clarified its if there is more then one game running lol but if these where ment to handle that they would be a computer n not a phone :P and I know not all games are equal either with quality.

Sprint data is a hot mess anymore! I won't purchase another handset til it's running smoothly. Besides, I fell for the 4g bull**** when I bought this evo 3d. With the money they've ripped me off for... I COULD HAVE TAKEN A REALLY NICE VACATION! lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PodCulture:
I did return both of our phones due to some light leakage issues, but we were able to swap them out for another pair of EVO LTEs!

Get rid of them? Pah...that is just crazy talk man!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
This is all very simple to check, and I can do this and more on the EVO 3D all day if I want, but it has 200MB more memory to work with.

Get OS Monitor. Set it to sort by RAM instead of CPU/processor. Check how much is free - it's probably about 150-180 or so. Maybe a little more, maybe a little less. But that's about how much you'll see. You'll see memory total at 696K, thanks to S4's video memory (Which is why the guy with the S3 chipset, such as the 3D, doesn't have this issue).

Pay attention to what's running, you'll probably see various things (there's your "10" apps). 50 megs here, 30 there, 42 here, etc. Now, pay attention to something you've run recently, like the browser if it's there. Go to it, or something like TapaTalk/XDA forum. You should see that go near the top since actively using anything uses more memory. So let's say tapatalk, loading a few pages it goes up to 45MB. Now I'll open up a browser page. The Internet app shows up, about 45MB, I'll open another tab. My free has gone down from 170 to 150. Both Internet and tapatalk are there.

So now I'll do something normal like check my email.

Oh wait, where'd my browser go? That's right, 2 tabs took up too much memory, 125, so now I'm back up to 190MB free, so something closed, and it was the browser. It's nowhere to be found in my app list. If I hit the button to go back to it... there it goes, it reloads. Back to OS monitor, looks like it kicked out GMail. Back to Gmail, it has to reload.

Oh wait, I got a text message.. And there goes the browser again. Gmail was spared for some reason, as was tapatalk, but the browser definitely reloads.

Each time you do this you can see the free ram drop, then go back up as it's killed something.

Note the whole time, complete rubbish that I'm not using never gets killed off. Sense (of course), Google +, Picasa (wtf?), PowerAmp which I did NOT run yet, and Google Play Movies, which I see no reason to have running (trust me, I've tried to stop it).

So part of it is some google apps that won't stop starting up, some of it's HTC's garbage, but ALL of it is due to a lack of usable RAM from the second it boots.

If you turn off Weather (65MB), NFC(34), Face unlock(50), live wallpapers(35), Dropbox file backup (35), and something like Google Voice (33) MAYBE you'd have a usable system, but all those seem pretty integral to the android experience, and those were all things running (minus NFC) on the EVO 3D without any issues. Note I turned off live wallpapers and face unlock just to have more Free Ram, as little good as it ultimately does.

Never ever
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fernando sor:
Actually sense 4.0 is scaled down compared to the 3.0 versions. The multitasking could be just as much of an attempt at battery conservation as any.

But your explanation is so flawed. phone performance isn't just based on available memory.that's a ridiculous suggestion. As much as I hate apple the iPhone worked just fine with half a gig.

This phone has twice the power of the evo 3d out of the box based on benchmarks.

software combined with processor and gpu, combined with memory. So unless your an HTC hardware or software engineer I really don't think your argument holds any water at all.

Sent from your moms basement
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
WHAT?!

So by your reasoning, since the stock rom is multitasking the way HTC designed it*, there's no hope for the phone ever doing anything because you watched a program show that memory was being used? What's it supposed to do; sit at 400MB free 24/7? How useful would that be?

I think you're obsessed with "free RAM" and completely missing the point about how the phone operates.

*it's debatable whether or not HTC could have done a better job with how multitasking works
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jr71x:
Yep, just returned my second one due to data speeds, screen ripple, and data and light leakage on the first one. Seems all of the evos in my area have this issue. Is it poor quality control??? Second or third batches not have this problem? And my battery life isn't near what other people are getting, like 5 hrs, heavy usage... Weird though, my og EVO will last this long with 1750ma battery... All the bad stuff being said and hopefully get worked out, the LTE is such an amazing phone in ALL other aspects that even with those issues it really pained me to take it back... Oh well, I'll play with the little baby bro, og for a little longer... Hope not everyone has these issues...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
Didn't read it, eh? I was pointing out that with minimal effort things were getting shut down. It had to do with ram.

As for sense, it isn't scaled down. Visually, maybe, but not with resources
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
I did read it, but didn't feel like quoting the entire thing.

I don't have a problem with programs getting cleared from memory or anything reloading. Hell, for me, the browser will bring up last page I was on even after a restart.

Personally, I don't care what's running in the background or how much free ram I have because there is no lag, programs don't reload, and it frees up memory when it needs to.

If that's not the case for you, maybe you should check another unit to make sure yours isn't a bad one.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sinfiery:
So let me ask you a question. Products are compared relatively.

You say this is a hardware problem. No matter what software you use, it isn't worth having.

So the only hardware inputs that seem to be eating up RAM are the S4 video resources.

You're basically claiming any phone that uses a S4 Krait SoC with 1gb of ram or less is fundamentally flawed at a hardware design level? Just trying to make sure I understand you're reasoning for why this phone is doomed.

You're also claiming any phone with 694 MB of available RAM or less has fundamental hardware problems and anyone with such a phone should abandon ship as soon as possible.

Well, now that you've posted on the EVO 4G LTE board, why don't you continue your PSA about lack of available memory on all other phones that follow this fundamentally flawed RAM design at a hardware level.

Unbecoming behavior reported

Abusive comments flaming OP are unnecessary and against the rules.

This is how you run people off not how you create a community of support.

I won't be buying one of these phones if this is the kind of childish behavior I'll have to read through to get support.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
First off this topic wasn't needed the thread deserved to get flamed. There are other topics that say I got rid of my phone he could have read. not to mention other problem threads with people saying hey I got rid of the phone for this reason or I swapped it for another one..

Second off if you can't decide you want to keep the phone none of us should help you decide. Guess what if I buy something and I am unsure I take it back or keep it I don't ask others if they thought I made the right decision cause guess what that's silly. No one knows but you I'd you swapped it out a couple times n see things still aren't good return it.

Also if you think things will be better on the Sammy side or anywhere on this Site you should just leave.. Go read the gn forums or gs forums so many noobs and people getting frustrated with because of dumb crap. It's going to happen.. On most big sites like this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vanessaem:
Ok people,

I really don't like the idea of this thread. Not because it might bring anti-Evo LTE sentiment but because it's another thread that eventually turned into a flame fest.

I will tell you all this, if there is genuine discontent with the phone, people should have a right to express that. Please keep in mind, not everyone will love it and if there are issues with the device, people need to have to right to express that without being accused of trolling. You all need to be able to tell the difference between a troll and someone who is just dissatisfied with the device.

People who don't have the Evo LTE should have the right to see the good, bad and the ugly when it comes to it.

That being said, there is no need to create a thread asking who's returning the device. It's pointless. If people don't like or want to return it, they just will. Why ask about it?

If people don't like the Evo LTE, there's no point in making a federal case about returning it, making a thread devoted to you returning it or making any grand diva exits stage left and proclaiming that you will be getting some alternate device. If you want to get something else, just get something else and move on.

This forum is devoted to people who like this device, need help with this device and are interested in development for this device. Nothing more and nothing less.

I don't see this thread going anywhere and I don't see it as being productive. This thread is going downhill, fast and in a hurry so I'm closing it.

OP...PM me if you have further questions.
