[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] knlmwq:
I am comparing just like you. Part of me is thinking about switching to the sg3. You are just getting offended because people have difference of opinion from you it seems. Anyways, one other thing that the LTEvo has the SG3 doesn't that you didn't mention is sense. Sense in my opinion is a lot better looking that Touch Wiz. It is impossible to port Sense to SG3. But you can port things like s voice, smart stay, and that video in the background app to the LTEvo. Its a lot easier to take software from another phone and add it to whatever phone you have. It is impossible to take hardware and move it to another phone, such as the physical camara button, kickstand, etc. Just something to consider.

The only thing that has me considering the sg3 over LTEvo is the multitasking. I want real multitasking like I had on my evo3d. I know a lot of roms are addressing this but I have not unlocked my phone yet to try them. LTEvo with 100% working multitasking is my perfect phone. That is just me though. Nicer screen, kickstand, camara button, Sense, and the look of the LTEvo far outway 2gb of ram for me.

I agree. Don't come to a specific device forum asking of you should get a competing device. Only thing worst is coming here and trying to convince us that the iPhone is better

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nkchri2:
Came to this forum looking for people who had the LTEvo to sell me on it and give me some info on why it would be the better choice. But instead of just comparing, or even stating why the Evo was better, half the posts were just trashing the GS3 or trolling, not even mentioning the Evo.

It hasn't been a total waste though, I'd say 35% or so of the posts were constructive, and did help.

But I do think I have decided to go with the GS3. Seems like the better choice, so flame on!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pov1:
nkchri2, you sir are an idiot !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdogg836:
I cannot think of one reason I'd buy the SGSIII over the LTE. I am sure that there is bound to be hardware problems, like many previous Samsung phones. This makes me not even care to take a chance. I do not like a flaky GPS, or random reboots, or any of the other things that I have experienced that were known issues. I've been with EVO since the first one, and the LTE is solid.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trell959:
+1. I'm not on Sprint, I'm on at&t and this situation is just like the sgs3 vs the One x. The Sgs3 is a disappointment. I'm a Samsung fan boy and I can even admit that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateN34:
Raw power?

The SIII benchmarks worse than the HTC One X and the same as the HTC EVO 4G LTE. The only advantage that the SIII has, is the extra gig of RAM. Note this is the USA versions that I am talking about.

Also you have to consider other things too. For example the screen..... Pentile display, AMOLED screen that has burn-in (confirmed), inaccurate colors, bad in sunlight and degrades over time. This was the main deciding factor for me going with the EVO 4G LTE........has a far superior screen. IMO this is the most important thing of a phone, next to the GPU and CPU........ I mean you will be ALWAYS using your screen and you don't want a poor one. Not saying the SIIIs is poor, just that the EVO 4G LTEs is better.

Then don't get me started on Samsungs all plastic build, vs the EVO 4G LTEs unibody aluminum...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Poetik:
I just bought an evo lte and man I wish it had a removable battery. I can't believe how many times a spare battery has come in handy.

I get my s3 later on this week but I think it's gonna be hard to let go of how beautiful the evo lte looks in both the screen and design. It feels really well built compared to my old s2 and it has such an updated look. I think the choice will be a difficult one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Jesus Christ, just buy what ever phone you think fits you. Don't try and get us to justify your decision. Both phones are pretty identical. Touchwiz freaking flies but it's so damn ugly. Sense looks better but is a little slower. I'm sure you know all of the differences by now so just pick and be happy about it.

And to stay on topic I believe sgs3 will have more development. I have no facts to prove or disprove it. Just a feeling.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xenoc1de:
I'm so glad I got the EVOLTE. I like it much better than my roomies GS3. He has quite a few problems goin on and constantly wiping and reflashing things
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
How long have you had it? Long enough to notice how amazing the battery life is?

Also, in the OPs post on p2 where he makes a comparative list, he states the GSIII has continuous shoot and best shot in camera, as if the LTE doesn't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Hey OP, just a note:

You had an advantage of GSIII being that it has camera feature advantages of continuous shooting and best shot. Our EVOs have that. That is all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Poetik:
I've only had it for a few days so far.

Battery life is pretty good so far and we all know that they last longer when they are fresh. Eventually it will go through so many cycles and the it wont have the same capacity anymore. I know I'll waste cycles because I'll have to intermittently charge the phone due to it not being replaceable.

When that happens I can't just change it like on the s3. I would either have to get a new phone or have HTC replace it. The allure of it being replaceable is still a huge factor to me. Battery life may be good for now but common sense tells me it will probably be not so great in a few months.

This phone is beautiful, well built, and it's probably the best quality I've ever seen / felt in a cellphone. It has nearly everything that I want except for the removable battery so we'll soon see if I like the s3 or the evo lte better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bootny:
Why would you have to get a new phone? It can be replaced by removing a few screws...people act so helpless this world benefits from technology and also suffers... it seems that some people cant use there heads any more... the end is near because the battle of two phones! In six months it will be about the next round of flagship phones
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Wakawaka024:
I'm pretty sure that the battery won't start dying in a couple months
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Poetik:
Lol you don't even own a evo lte so you honestly don't even know what you're talking about. I suppose if I were in your situation though, any phone would be a total and complete upgrade.

Also if you actually get the money to get an evo lte, you can post up a walk through on how to change out the battery. If you owned it, you would see how ridiculous your "replaced by removing a few screws" statement is.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

Who's to say it will or not? All batteries eventually lose their charges and battery life suffers. I've witnessed it on every single one of my past devices and I'm sure I'll see it on the evo too.

There is absolutely no way that a battery will have the exact same capacity in a few months as it had when it was brand new. It may not be THAT bad in a few months but eventually you'll start to notice it not lasting as long.

All my previous phones have been removable (mogul, tp1, tp2, evo, s2) so it's really foreign territory for me. It's a concern because I'm so used to not having to ration my phone use due to having a backup battery. I feel like with the LTE, I'll now have to actively plan to have enough battery before I go hang out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alchemist316:
I really think that's up for debate because my sgs2 older battery last one hour longer running.same test being I have two epic touch's but back to topic idk but I have both us and international version of the sgs3 and ill.tell u the us version is good CPU is same as EVO so not much.different there minor lag on some things international is fast very fast they all are but a near 7000 on quadrant international is fastest even not benching wise.

The EVO will have great dev community it does already what u will as will the s3 so chose what fits ur needs most EVO to me is great I love it but same with the s3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bootny:
Just bc Im using my og Evo doesn't mean I know nothing...my brother has the new Evo and we took it apart and like I said a sprint tech can replace it if need be... thanks for proving my point
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Poetik:
Yea I'm sure you did take it apart with your brother... The one that owns the brand new lte and decided to take the phone apart... for absolutely no apparent reason... Sure bro :good:

Anyways, I found a video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiKpHr8RLBs

It doesn't seem too difficult to take it apart so the eventual changing of the battery wont be a problem. It's still gonna be an adjustment to making sure I have enough battery before hanging out at night though.

Also a question for the people that

actually own an evo lte

. Do you guys charge your phone multiple times a day?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bootny:
Im going to get an lte soon just waiting for the towers in my area naperville il to be up and running since my brothers signal sux... he's gotten thru the whole day( 13hrs) we have plenty of chargers not much of an issue... don't feet me wrong removable battery is a plus... I have them but don't use them any more since I can't go out due to being in a wheel chair( paralyzed from the waist down....good look on finding the video... all hail lunesta!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] assumption:
Thank god!! I was gonna be so jealous if it did!!

I read somewhere that it was going to, but I guess that was just a rumor
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] familyduner:
I have been an HTC user and fan going all the way back to the ppc6600.. I have had the ppc6600, ppc6700, ppc6800 (mogul), HTC Touch Pro, HTC Touch, HTC Touch Pro II, HTC EVO 4G, HTC EVO 3D (current). All of these have had removable batteries. I currently have two spare batteries charged at all times, as I do not like to plug in the USB while at work. I like leaving the update, screen brightness, 3G and wifi running all the time. I really want the new HTC, but without an easily removed battery I just can't do it. My daughter and wife each have an Iphone 4 and we have two of the battery-to-go things that you can charge from, but they are just a pain in the ars. I would rather just swap out the battery and be done, then drop the used ones in the charger when I get home. Or should I just hold out until the next great Android comes out later this year?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raiderep:
When I had my epic 4g I had three batteries and an external charger and always had a spare with me that was fully charged. Back then battery life was horrid if you were using anything but the phone and texting abilities. Things have changed, battery life is awesome now with the EVO LTE and I don't see the need for spares anymore. One day of use is possible now with a recharge at night. I actually got over 24 hours with 6 hours screen on and do so consistently with the rejuvenated Rom but stock is not much different. Just adding my experience here for you, I know its a tough leap but its been fine for me, finally a device that works as I had been hoping for :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PaulB007:
I can tell you one thing for certain, if you ever plan on recording a video where is there is a lot of loud sound and music the galaxy will sound incredibly scratchy and almost be unwatchable. However, the LTE can record video and the sound quality is excellent. I have seen video comparisons. This was a major thing for me. And I love the design of the phone. I came from an Epic 4g touch and swore I'd never go HTC again after my bad experience with the 3D, but I'm glad I gave them one more chance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] V1ViD:
The HTC Camera also has Continuous shooting and best shot...if I'm not mistaken HTC kinda based some of its marketing on it.. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Wakawaka024:
Im pretty sure the evo is slightly lighter than the s3. The thing i hate about the Samsung phones is odin, always having to flash to stock and modems. I never plug into my computer. It's an extra step and it seems like they brick easy. Just my opinion, they're both great phones. Plus I owned a Samsung moment.... HTC for me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] saccityp:
Battery life is good on the lte, especially when compared to the OG Evo but not good enough for me to keep due to my lifestyle and phone use. so SGIII looks like the better option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
The evo does have burst mode and best shot and a dedicated camera button which I love!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Balian67:
Sir, RAM is managed differently then HDD SSD FLASH memory. Having 200 mb of ram available vs 6 GB of RAM is a big difference. For the sake of the argument I am going to assume that Android is alike Windows with Ram Management. I run 8 GB of ram on my windows 7 laptop and it runs MUCH quicker on my laptop then my dads desktop with only 2 GB of ram. The way windows manages ram allows the data to be stored on different parts of the ram, giving the CPU more options of space to allocate the data to.

For android, There are apps I was running on the Samsung Moment then ran on the Original Evo and it ran faster on the EVO. A LOT faster. I was also able to run more apps without lag. So I would assume Android and Windows are alike in Memory Management in that sense. So yes, having 200 or 200000mb available ram DOES make a difference

Bad gps on Samsung

Im coming from an epic and have a friend that has the gs2. Samsung cannot get the gps right. It never works when you need it...I don't know if they've fixed it by now but I no longer trust them with gps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WisdomWolf:
I weighed both phones before choosing the LTEvo. There was only one thing that mattered and immediately put the LTEvo a million points over the GS3.

GS3 = Pentile. /vomit
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I'm pretty sure Windows and Android handle memory MUCH differently.

Using an example as a proof is not solid logic at all.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lekor2k:
Hi,

I´ve read that ICS has GPU acceleration for the UI implemented as a standard. Is there really a difference in smoothness compared to custom gb roms? I´m talking about the i9001. But it should be the same as with the i9000

Regards

Lekor
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samurai05:
Can't tell the difference.

I'm on RemICS v1.2 with Devil Kernel 3.0.72. I set GPU from stock 200MHz to OC at 250MHz and I can't tell the difference. But the Kernel developer did say it may not work. Still experimental.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Afaik no big difference, although our GPU is powerful. Maybe stock ROM has other imorovements, so the boost isn't good to feel on ICS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kurre:
GPU OC isn't same as GPU accelerated UI :rolleyes:

And yes ICS should benefit from it..but can't really remember anyone GB times if there has been some speed gain..;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] e34v8:
The stock browser in 2.3.6 uses GPU acceleration. There are other apps also, but not the OS UI.

In 4.0 custom rom it should work in the apps when you enable the option from the developer options.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
No difference. Everything using 8 mb more ram with 200mhz GPU acceleration.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrAndroid12:
Bro, just upgraded my i9000 to ice and forced gpu acceleration.

Man even on the xda app itself I can see a marginal difference in smoothness.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TheWeeknd:
it has an option force gpu rendering that uses 2d hardware acceleration in applications...and you have to set it manual...but dont know if it rly helps in smoothness i think it depends more on the rom then to have this gpu option
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Because it's cyanogen. You can see it's even faster on cm7.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] upichie:
I see an awful lot of people saying it offers no improvements. Personally, I think it does.

I keep my phone up to date as much as possible. When ICS was stable, I jumped right in. I haven't ran Gingerbread in a long, long time—but from what I remember, it had some lag. Android, in fact, was known for this lag. You couldn't read an iOS vs Android debate without this lag being mentioned (at least when Gingerbread was the newest). And I had tried everything: every lag fix, every tweak, every ROM, every kernel, governer, scheduler, OCing, UVing—I tried it all. But I still remember there being lag.

Now I'm in the present. I've been running ICS since it was stable and, quite frankly, I don't notice that lag. I mean, yes, my phone does still lag—if I'm doing something processor intensive in the background—but not like my memories of Gingerbread. Back then, it would lag scrolling through my list of apps; it would lag doing menial UI rendering without anything running in the background. That simply does not happen anymore. Not in my experiences. Not with ICS.

Granted, as I did in Gingbread, I do in ICS—I've applied every fix, every tweak, and every possible software combination that I could get my hands on. I've tried every ROM, every kernel, every setting imaginable. And I do this because I've been thoroughly impressed by the community here at XDA. This device of ours is over 2 years old now. But the software progression does not stop. We move forward as if the hardware was built just yesterday. And I have to tell you, our phone is keeping up—it really is. My phone is faster than a lot of my peers, even with some of them having much newer hardware. And I honestly don't feel I could have said any of this if I had stayed far behind with Gingerbread.

Everyone wants a new phone. It's newer, better, faster. But what they don't realize is that software can fulfill a majority of their wants. It is a continuous improvement, however gradual it may be. To not want to upgrade your software is like not wanting to upgrade your phone. And let's be honest, who doesn't want a new phone—one that's newer, better, and faster—without ever having to buy one.

I do. And that's why I update my phone. But maybe that's just me.
[TouchPad General] liam007:
Hi guys, Ive heard about an app that will turn the display of the touchpad off when the display is covered (using official HP folio case). I am using the latest official CM9 nightly, I've tried searching for it but to no avail, any help would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Liam
[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
There isn't one, because it would constantly have to be on, and enabled, and scanning, so it would most likely kill your battery more than it would help.

There's a thread about this in the Q&A section asking the very same question, and that's the answer given there. However, if you can find a way to make it work, please feel free.
[TouchPad General] yalkowni:
Actually there is its called smart screen of if I remembered correctly and no it does not take as much battery
[TouchPad General] liam007:
Thanks for that I've just downloaded it and will give it a go and report back.

Many thanks

[TouchPad General] ve6ay:
I sit corrected. Thank you for that. I'm glad to be proven wrong.
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
Did anybody get this to work? I've downloaded it and so far hasn't worked .....either that or the proximity sensor on CM9 isn't working
[TouchPad General] liam007:
I couldn't get it to work either, I tried to apps both similar in nature but neither would work. Would be good if anyone has any luck getting it to work to post their set up on here so others could try it. I tried it on stock official nightly.
[TouchPad General] spidernix:
The app uses a proximity sensor usually located next to the earphone of most cellphones. To my knowledge the touchpad has no proximity sensor so it won't work. Very useful app on any device though.
[TouchPad General] ba114:
You sure it doesn't operate using the camera? I remember one which operated using the camera hence would not work on cm9
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
the touchpad has a proximity sensor....its in the right corner of the screen the side where the camera is, visible if you hover a led flashlight you'll see a circular red thing glinting.
[TouchPad General] jacobas92:
Never noticed that lol.

But don't these apps use front-facing cams?
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
hit thanks if that helped ;)

the description for the app says it uses the prox sensor.....my guess is the sensor's drivers aren't on android for the touchpad yet
[TouchPad General] Izeltokatl:
I don't think it's functional in android. It's not been a major priority. I tried a few apps that leverage the sensor, but to no avail.
[TouchPad General] Kbybee9:
I read this the other day and decided to use one called Case Switch. It uses the light sensor/ proximity sensor to determine if the light is low enough to turn off. Anyway, been using it for several days, love it! I recommend setting your lower min at 48lux. This setting allows for the screen not to turn off under evening low light settings. When I got this on Sunday the 24th there was a free demo and the pro version was $1.00.

Like I say, it works very well and its an excellent addition to or already amazing tabs.
[TouchPad General] cf3esbestia:
I don't see any app in the marketplace called "Case Switch."

Edit: I'm assuming you meant Case Sensor? That app works perfectly for the touch pad.
[TouchPad General] scariola:
Touchpad has NO proximity sensor, just an ambient light sensor for auto brightness. The small purple dot next to the volume rockers.

It is called Caseswitch. It is made by MaxInvention.
