cant wait to compare to my infuse, its all good ,just wish cowan and samsung would get together on the sound side:D
[Droid Incredible General] CKTurbo128:
For anyone curious about using a Team 64 GB UHS-1 class MicroSDXC card with the good ol' Droid Incredible, I can verify that the Droid Incredible can read and write to it just fine. :) I picked one up from Newegg recently for $54.99.

I originally intended to use it with my Galaxy Tab Plus tablet, but after killing it in that device and reviving it, I'm keeping it on my Droid Incredible (for now), where it works fine.
[Droid Incredible General] thebopshoobop:
Has the 64GB card held up? I would love to have more space on my incredible, but I thought that it wouldn't be able to read the sdxc cards. Your post gives me hope! Have you experimented at all with other filesystems like ext4, or did you just go right to fat32?
[Droid Incredible General] CKTurbo128:
Sorry, didn't see your response until now. Yep, the 64 GB SDXC card is still running nicely. I formatted it directly to FAT32 and have filled it up entirely with MP4s from my music collection. I've been running Tiny's CM 10.1 builds on it as of late.

It's kind of amazing that an old phone like the Droid Incredible is able to utilize the latest SDXC 64GB cards without issue. :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] libai8268:
These two phones are amazing and hard to compare. Therefore I need some help to decide which phone I should buy.

EVO 4G LTE

Pros:

Camera is awesome, burst shots are easily taken without effort.

Sense does seem to be a little bit more user friendly

The back case of the white one is great (Personal preference)

Kick stand

Less Plastic feel

Cons:

The multi-tasking sucked pretty hard compared to GS III

Can not swap batteries

GS III

Pros:

Multitasking is awesome on this phone

Big battery and can be swapped out

The front case looks nice

Cons:

The back case looks dull and pretty plastic feeling in total

Camera is not as great as EVO

Those are pros and cons that matter to me as of now. I just need some more factors to help me decide. And please be objective, you won't get any money from Samsung or HTC by being subjective. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Evo. Do the HTC unlock and flash mean Rom. Fix everything pretty much wrong with the phone and multi tasking. There is all 3 evo's and the gs3 here in this house. Nice phone but every yr there has been an eVo it had been the best and most complete device almost until the next eVo came out.the only phone so far that will beat this phone is the Verizon HTC 5 inch 1080p s4 quad core coming soon.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Pretty hard decision to make, honestly. I've gone back and forth trying to decide which one I want to get when my upgrade comes due soon. I know there are better phones in the pipeline but none that I care much for. I've had a chance to play with both and I prefer the EVO LTE. The build quality seems to be better on the EVO. Both run the same processor. The EVO has less RAM, but Sense seems to be dialed back some as opposed to TW on the Samsung. I've seen nothing but good things about the EVO display and camera. I don't care for the physical home button on the Samsung, or the on-screen app icons. It's like everything else, though, it really boils down to personal preference.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
I agree with ryanalan82...get the LTEVO, root and and flash either MeanROM or Viper 4G ROM. Both are amazing ROMs.

Additionally, at least IMO, I prefer Sense to TouchWiz. While the multitasking is great on the SG3, I find myself loving Sense waaaaaay more. Just my $0.02.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tnEVo:
I'd say S3

Will the HTC unlock and mean rom fix the GPS/WIFI issue as well as the distorted voice issue?

I would say get the S3, I love the EVO phone itself, but it just doesn't freaking work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rpenrod23:
The GPS/WiFi issue was fixed with the 2.13 base (if it's the same issue I'm thinking of). Not sure what you're referencing with distorted voice though, I've never experienced that? :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chong67:
I do not like the center button on the S3. It should be flush just like on the 4G LTE.

Physical button create dust to get in.

After all, if you are playing game, then a button like this might be helpful.

I have heard people said the S3 has better LTE tolerence than the 4G LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
HTC/Sprint needs to fix the LTE connection issue soon or you should go with the SGS3. This is coming from a pretty big supporter of HTC and someone who loves the EVO.

This issue would be a deal breaker for me if I had to choose between the 2 devices.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Get the Note 2. It blows away both phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] libai8268:
What is the LTE issue? Can you tell more in detail?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] libai8268:
Does the mean rom fix the multitasking once for all or it is just a small fix but still not as good as GS III?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] carlos64030:
The EVO doesn't want to find or stay locked onto LTE in known LTE service areas.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] libai8268:
It's sad that I still don't have LTE around my area and Sprint has not announced anything in my area either. So should I still stick with Sprint? Sprint 3G pretty much sucked too much to be useful.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theultimatev:
I just played with one at my logical Sprint store (I know a guy who works in the back) and that phone is huge! 5.5 is a little bit too much. It's fast, but unless you plan on gaming like hell I'd still go with the evo. Note 2 is a big piece of plastic
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Go with the Evo for now. We all know it's the superior phone but HTC may not be cranking out many more of those based on how things are going. You'll have plenty of time to own a Samsung in the future when they become pretty much the only android handset manufacturer.

I'd hold out if I where you. Never know what's around the corner for christmas. An the LTE issue with our phones is a real draggggggg just to let u know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Fixed, with the help of who makes the v6 supercharger. And multitasking is improved further by more app multitasking panels as well. The couple people that kinda were coming at me..... Lol, you don't know what your talking about. Also instead of the note 2, like I said in my first post, the HTC 5 inch phone will be the phone to beat, not the note 2.

I used to have the galaxy s3 it is very nice looking! and fast but is kinda simple i mean the system ,i know it has a lot of stuff but was to simple for me , so i sold it, and i bought the evo lte, and i love it! ;) ics sense version i think is a lot better :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
If you are going to root the phones and run an AOSP ROM, you won't notice much difference between the phones. I own both, and since the both ran AOKP, it was a simple transition.

Let's be honest, you're on an LTE forum so you're going to get bias answers. As an owner of both, I'll tell you that you can't go wrong either way! They both have little pros and cons, but are mostly very similar.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mobius1484:
Personally if you can wait a bit I would try to hold out for the next Nexus device. Or choose the EVO. I cannot comment on the lte issue since it isn't available in my area.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raclimja:
Gs3 uses pentile crap and disgusting plastic construction.

EVO 4g LTE uses anodized aluminum and standard RGB matrix display(though it is still over saturated.

The us version of gs3 has design defect(you could google "galaxy s3 design defect") to see for yourself.

Imo, out of all coming phones atm, the only ones that I see good are lumia 920, HTC one x+, iPhone 5(though it suffer from horrible scuffs and scratches)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] libai8268:
So are they working on the LTE issue or they are just gonna let it be? Why every phone has to have some cons that kinda annoy people but still livable. LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I don't think the average user will notice any difference in quality between the GSIII's "pentile crap" screen and the EVO screen. They both look fantastic, even side by side. I'm looking at both right now.

As for a design flaw, I'm not going to Google it because as an owner I've never noticed any design flaw. I haven't heard complaints from other owners either.

Fact of the matter is that the phones come down to small differences. Do you prefer removable battery/unlocked bootloader/2 GB RAM or kickstand/Sense/metal housing? There's pros and cons to both. People on this forum are way too anti-GSIII. It's a great phone, and a serious competitor to the EVO 4G LTE. I love both phones!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cavagan:
I've used both phones, and it is actually pretty easy to discern the difference in the display.

The speaker is noticeably better on the GS3, for some that's not a consideration, but if you use speaker phone, or use the speaker for music/video/Skype etc you will like the Samsung better.

Overall, the Evo takes it however for all the previous reasons mentioned here and elsewhere..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I'd say you're not the average user then. :)

I agree that the EVO is probably better overall. But depending on which of those "fringe" things you prefer, your vote could easily sway one way or the other. I couldn't argue with either side, depending on their points.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zx1100e1:
If I were buying again and the evo and s3 were my choices, I'd go with the s3.

2GB of ram gives lots of margin for future os/apps. Removable battery makes it easier to replace when the time comes.

The plastic chassis is indeed cheap feeling/looking. Get a tpu case and you'll never see it. I got my evo in a such a case because the phone can slip out easily.

If you're unsure, spend some serious time in the store playing with each one. Bear in mind you have lots of options as far as user interface for both devices. I haven't been following development of cmx for the s3. For the evo, I'd say it's somewhere between alpha and beta stage. I think a RC is a possibility by year's end.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marky2mark:
I'm a big HTC fan, still using the OG Droid Incredible. All other things being equal, I would jump at the EVO in a flash.

But I just don't see how you could give the nod to an LTE phone that can't consistently connect to LTE. Seems like a deal breaker for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateN34:
Well, the EVO has a far superior screen (clearer, no pentile, better color, brighter and no burn in or ghosting), build quality and looks.

Although, if you are into custom ROMs or want Jelly Bean, then go with the SIII. The way it is going, the development is slow on ROMs, tje official CM10 has stopped developing and there is no sight of Jelly Bean for this phone...

So, I would say the SIII.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sobaked2921:
I hear its just a software issue which is good. a hardware one would really sukkk for us lol there prolly gona realese the fix with the JB update hopefully
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
I have been using the LTE since day one preorde, love it.. but i sometimes want to get the S3. the UI might suck but the put in a few good features, like S-Beam. i dont understand why Android doesnt have more of a built in use for it. I can tap my phone to others but no way to send files that way. maybe with 3rd party utilities.. but it should be baked in!!!!

i do love the sense camera though. group portrait mode is awesome. stitches pictures together so everyone is smiling and looking at the camera
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] garrisonc:
Do some comprehensive research on Sprint's data speeds in your area before you even consider getting the EVO. If I could do it over, I'd definitely have gotten the GS3 on any provider other than Sprint.

The hardware is fantastic, the service is a joke in 95%+ of the country.

I'd seriously consider looking at the new unlocked Nexus 4 paired with that cheap T-Mobile plan.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spaghettiknight:
the note2 is pretty cool but it is just a tad bit too big for my liking the evo withe the bigger quad core processer and the 1080p screen would be best in my opion
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pbedard:
Evo late hands down

cm10ed 3VO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
Both are very good,and both are very impressive for an android phone. You will be giving and taking a few things when considering one of the two. Software/touchwiz/ram(s3) or build quality/camera that works at night/kickstand/sense/videophile quality screen(evo) You choose. Honestly I have had and used both. I really like the evo better but sprints lte(wait...no lte here in hawaii) kills me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slim06:
Deck's cm10 for the evo is jellybean 4.1.2 its very smooth and stable and the battery life is good, been my daily driver for months. Camera/camcorder works great incl 1080p video recording.

Just losing texts and call log is not a big deal.

As far as I know.

Not sure if go backup can do data, thought you had to have root for that. Contacts will be saved if they are synced with Google, if not there are apps for it, messages can be backed up, really all you're losing is app data. If you do want to try out a different root method that won't wipe your data, shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up tomorrow morning, it hasn't been tested yet.

Hello,

I just want to say that please don't say "you should have read instructions more carefully...etc" its too late for that. I'm just trying to see if its possible to get my HOX working again so its not a brick. So please, if you can help me, I will gladly donate to you.

I have a HTC ONE XL (AT&T). I saw a thread today on XDA saying 2.2 was able to be rooted, so I decide to root my HOX. It took a lot of courage, but I was able to root it and unlock the bootloader.

Everything was going great, I decided to flash CM10, the newest one: cm-10-20121025-EXPERIMENTAL-evita.zip. along with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.

First mistake: I did not backup

Recovery is TWRP v2.3.1.0

I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and system, then flashed CM10

Then i flashed GAPPS

I thought I had everything in the bag, rebooted it and let it do its thing. People say the first boot took long time (~5 mins) I gave it 10 mins. Nothing, its stuck on the boot loop.

Then I retried this 2 other times, same thing.

I panicked and accidentally hit factory reset, and managed to clear everything, both of the flashable files (CM10 and GAPPS) from my HOX, now all i can do is go into TWRP recovery. If i try to reboot into bootloader system or recovery it says "NO OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"

So please, can anyone help me, this was a very costly mistake, but I'm trying to fix it.

CLIFFS:

-Made mistake of not backing up

-Now only boots to TWRP, no flashable files.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
First of all bro, you did everything right in the first place except flash the boot.img seperate using fastboot. That's why you bootlooped bc you had no kernel.

Second, don't worry lol. plug in phone to your computer and enter twrp, choose "mount". Get on your computer and download Rom of choice. Once downloaded, extract Rom and seperate the boot.img. rezip Rom. Transfer Rom onto phone.

fastboot boot.img, then flash the Rom through twrp. Then your golden
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] donkeybat64:
Hi inflatedtitan,

Thanks for replying, you are a lifesaver, i almost bought another phone... because i thought i was done for.

However, im not sure what you mean exactly as i have not done this flashing before. so i downloaded the rom cm10.

1. so i unizip the rom on my computer

2. copy rom onto phone

3. flash??

thanks please clarify thanks again.

ur a lifesaver.

EDIT: when i hit mount, there are 4 boxes, what do i check (i cant select SD card)? and when i hit mount, it shows up on my computer but asks me to format disk. should i do it?!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
As you already factory reseted and lost everything, you should format as the damage is already done lol, it'll get your sdcard back right. But when you extract cm10 on your computer you'll see the boot.img in the folder. Move it to where you have adb and fastboot. THEN rezip Rom and transfer to your phone.

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

Do you have fastboot and adb? If so, the boot.img goes here. Fire up command prompt, type this---> fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then proceed to flash the Rom via twrp
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] donkeybat64:
I took a screenshot

so i copy the boot to the folder with adb and fastboot? and copy cm-10-2012... to my HOX (unchanged)?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Yes exactly, then run fastboot flash boot boot.img

After that is done, open TWRP and run the zip file
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Rom will have excluded boot.img . Try it out and see what happens as you recapped. I'm not so sure as your running fastboot through the xfactor program.. but try it out, worst case is you bootloop like last time. If that happens again, you know to download android SDK tools, adb and fastboot and reinstall HTC drivers and start over
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] donkeybat64:
uhh guys so i did the whole fastboot thing, everything looked great. but when i try to go back to recovery, im stuck at the htc quietly brilliant

"this build is for development purpose only

do not distribute..." screen. I cant get back to recovery!?

Sorry for being such a noob, i really appreciate your guyses help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
Try it a couple times, if that doesn't work reflash recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
How long did you stay on that screen? Did you see the cyanogenmod boot animation at all?

---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 AM ----------

Have you tried holding power and volume down? When phone flashes and goes off, release power button and keep holding volume down till you get to hboot. White screen that says fastboot, recovery, facto reset, etc
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Any progress bro?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
you don't delete boot.img from the rom, leave the original zip untouched. just make sure you flash boot.img in fastboot though. whenever i flash something in fastboot i like to run "fastboot erase cache".

NEVER factory reset in bootloader, it will mess up your sdcard.

you should rewipe and reflash everything in twrp. also verify the md5 checksums of cm10 and gapps both the md5 sums are listed at their download locations.

sry guys it took very long, i followed all your instructions and finally fixed it last night. I went straight to sleep because of work. Thanks again for your help, sorry for late restponse:

my solution: I followed INFLATEDTITAN's instructions. double click the cm10 rom, then take out the boot.img, copy that to where your fastboot files are, SHIFT right click, select CMD (or open cmd and use cd to change directory to folder), then type what he said w/ fastboot, make sure your connected. Then i flashed the cm10 rom, the gapps, reboot, took a couple tries.

Anyways, it works great, so smooth.... on wifi.
