I use mine for music mostly

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

The only thing that can keep me away from the next evo is a lack of sd card slot. Keep that and htc has my loyalty. I can deal with the slow updates, because I love sense, and the build quality.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
Might be the first Evo that I don't buy. HTC just isn't the same.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Music, Games, Files & Apps.

I do love the cloud but living in the city / northeast I can't rely on it to carry the weight of my mobile experience everywhere.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
The superior build quality of htc is amazing, as well as the sense camera will always keep me loyal to them
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
+1. If I could get the Note 2 right now somehow without paying $400+ I probably would. Getting kinda bored and the note 2 is gorgeous.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] psabo05:
I think this will be my last one. I have had the original evo, evo 3D, and now the lte and have nothing but hardware issues. Mainly with digitizers. But the main reason is the slow updates of operating systems. My next phone will be a Samsung.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
I defnately will for one simple reason. If you look at the quality is of my HTC evo 4g and at a phone just coming out ala nexus 4....the evo benchmarks better out the box and that's with sense. My performance is still on par with phones being released 5 months after I bought it. That's pretty good.

BTW...the us version of the HTC J is coming soon . That is what I call and upgrade.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rruss:
I bought the galaxy nexus and had that for a couple of weeks great phone but no SD kills me too I probably would consider getting another nexus if its 32 GB+

cm10ed 3VO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jlbattagli:
The next one? Probably not, as I will probably still be under contract with this one. The one after that (if there is one) I'll take a close look at. Been very happy with the build quality of my EVOs, less so with Sprint's network. If LTE comes close to the hype I'll be satisified.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
No, but only because Sprint's network will likely still hold it back. I miss my EVO, but I don't miss Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BamAlmighty:
I regret not getting a Galaxy 3 this time around.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
You guys are making me stare at my device and question it. Why why why.

As to the question about why someone would need so much storage, for me, nandroid backups are the biggest user of space.

Nexus' are great, and I'm really tiring of HTC bs bootloader shenanigans, but love the look and build quality. I don't like sense, though (though much better than TW) so I use AOKP/CM/PA, etc.

hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jauger:
One X+ has me seriously thinking about leaving Sprint for AT&T.............
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
No because if I never use them what good are they? It would be something if I actually liked those features. Then I would probably have a gs3 like my wife. But I still have the better phone IMO. For what I use it for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kcsween:
I feel the same, I'd get a Nexus with 64GB of storage over the next Evo because I'm sure the next Evo won't have that capacity and may even drop the SD card slot, it's anyone's guess really. I know I use mine for games and apps, something you can't stream unless it's something I haven't heard of. My old Evo 3D, I had all my games on the SD card obviously and with the 4GLTE that's not an option unless you make the hack to flip the SD card and phone storage but there are pitfalls to that so I won't bother at the moment. With my Evo3D, I had a good 15 to 20 games but with this 4GLTE I only have 5 games and I'm down to 1.5 gigs of space left on my phone storage so I'm being real careful on what games I add at this point. Movies, pics and music I can store on my SD card or the cloud so no worries so it comes down to the games for me. Oh and I'm also married and have a family and I just find the time to play games either on my commute to work, which is an over an hour or during late nights after the wife and kiddies are sleep or even when they all go out doing their women shopping....lol. But to each his own, no judging here, we all like our devices for our own reasons.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Not talking you out of anything but Sprint made sure the EVO LTE had an SD Card so I wouldn't expect any future EVO models to lack it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kcsween:
No worries. If the next evo has SD card support and unpartioned phone storage of at least 32gb then I'm getting that puppy! I'd hope they would deploy their 1080p screen tech on the next evo as well but again, it's anyone's guess at this point. Also at this point I'm even looking forward to rumors so I can have something to hold me over...lol. Sad but true.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
If there is another evo. :confused:

2 months ago I would have said no. I was using a galaxy nexus and loving life but just recently I activated my lte and flashed the cm10 and it is incredible.

Yes there are more Rome for the Gnex but our hardware with cm10 is gold. Battery crushes the Gnex.

So I guess I am undecided at the moment. It helps knowing that great developers will get us the newest android version.

Although I wouldn't mind HTC moving updates a little quicker

Heck I think the LG viper already has JB and it was released with gingerbread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
The LG Viper bro? Tell me this ain't so! OMG... Even LG is kicking our ass... This is just sad! Even an LG was out-upgraded over us... :(

This will be my last HTC Evo. Will wait until next spring to see what will be happening. More likely returning to Samsung for either Galaxy S3 or Note II
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Droiddinho:
I've only owned HTC devices starting with the HTC Wing(Herald). This EVO is my last one. I don't care that the phone isn't popular, but HTC's support and communication with their consumers has been poor. Not to mention when most new games come out they aren't compatible with this phone. HTC has dug their own grave,
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zjaksn:
I will never buy another HTC phone. Absolutely hate this phone and everything about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
Htc evo all the way!!! 2014!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
It's not a bad phone.... Could have been great.... But the popular vote is Samsung.... So that will be my next phone... I want a phone that gets accessories.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rruss:
Me too I always seem to get a phone without accessories
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] toastman74:
HTC J is looking mighty good. Don't know if I will have it with sprint but that is definitely my next phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Unfortunately i dontown an EVO anymore. Due to a promotion at work, and my wife beggin me to do this, and us working on our first child, i had no choice but to trade in my EVO to pay our ETP (Both of US)...My work was only offering up the SGS3 and I gotta say (You can call my a trader or whatever lol, i dont give a F%&*) this thing is amazing. Devin is surprisingly slower than I thought, but after all this, i dunno. Prolly wont have HTC again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] filmaker:
I had the original Evo, Evo 3D and Now this phone. However, I thnk I'm probably going to switch to Samsung because there is so much development and opportunity going on with that device, mainly due to the fact that Samsung doesn't lock down their bootloaders like HTC does.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2k4mach:
same here, ive been pretty loyal to HTC since back in the touch pro/diamond days but i think its time for a change.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] omgitzsars:
I'll get something that has a working radio - in other words, not an HTC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I went through a similar scenario and I agree with you. :) I felt like a trader too, but it is what it is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theoner1:
Same thing I felt after getting this note 2. Note 2 is my first phone im not rushing to root, still stock and completely satisfied.

When the next htc beat more than 5 hrs screen on time with heavy use (gaming, flash video streaming, web surfing) all on mobile network (no wifi) and have a display over 5 inches than I might consider.

never again...gonna sell my 3vo and switch to the gnex
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spakilla:
thats an interesting topic ive had 3 htc devices hero 3d now lte and the experience isnt bad but as mentioned updates are horrible Samsung seems to have a nice chunk of tech in their devices for me to go to a new evo the specs and features has to be on point but not going to lie love my lte i live in a small town and get 9mbps download and 10 mbps upload from the lte network and im loving it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aliwho:
I came over to the Evo from the Nexus S. Never making that mistake again.

I wanted the most best hardware (and I've been loving the Evo for that), so I passed on the Gnex knowing that I could mod this phone, but man, the dev community on nexus devices is just overwhelmingly good. I had my choice of 10+ AOSP ROMs, and 6+ kernels. Here, we (mostly) have CMX and Komodo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] weysonn:
Did the same...now i'm looking to switch to the gnex.

Can't imagine having the 3vo for another 1 1/2 years
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coolblue830:
Never again. Definitely going Nexus next time around. Unless Sprint's LTE is simply amazing when my contract comes up (it's nonexistent currently) and Google is still pushing HSPA+ only Nexus phones. Even then I'd probably go Samsung for better CM/kernel/source support :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazydazed:
What do you guys keep "trading"? Are you like a fur trader or a phone trader? Or do you kids mean "traitor"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
If Sprint continues to get Nexus phones then no I will not. I will switch to nexus once and for all. I moved away from it due to the pentile screen on the nexus s. I hated it and swore I would never own another. If Nexus phones become GSM only then it depends. I'll probably try a Samsung next if they get rid of pentile screens. If they stick with their pentile garbage then yeah I'll stick with the next EVO because there will be nothing left. With my 23% discount switching carriers isn't really an option for me. T-mobile coverage isn't very good IMO and that's the only other carrier I would consider due to cost.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] theoner1:
Note II doesn't have pentile screen. Pretty much my reason to give Samsung a try again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JDM Civic EG8:
+1 actually trying to sell my LTE to pick up either the SG3 or Galaxy note II.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Asadullah:
I agree two years ago I said I would never buy a LG or Samsung phone I broke down eventually and got the optimus v. I still don't think I'll go Samsung but they aren't looking too bad. HTC imho isn't too bad and updates come are really carrier dependant
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yamaford:
well the specs on paper were pretty good for this thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thefsfempire:
Not to mention the size of games now are easily topping 1GB or more on some higher-end games. I tried many times using the cloud experience and 3G sucks anywhere I've tried it (even in big cities) so I gave up on it.

Probably sticking with my EVO for now. SGS3 doesn't appeal to me (TouchWiz is awful IMO). Maybe a WP8 if Sprint ever gets on board... I think it'll do really well if W8 takes off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ssojyeti2:
I really don't think I can honestly decide until I actually see the next evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] salomonld:
of course i will buy it, the evo have been the best phone i had tried, i had incredible, droid x, nexus s, sgs2, sgs3 and this, this is the best by far!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Agreed. I always run AOSP, so sense vs TW argument doesn't apply for me. But if I had to choose based on that, it would be sense all day. WP8 is looking pretty badazz, but it's still too locked down for me. (no changing fonts, lock screen stuff, no changing anything, really, still, it's looking pretty damn sweet)

when I first got my evo4g lte I loved it. But im constantly getting loading issues and send error report to HTC I am not rooted like my og evo. I have been patient trying to wait for Jellybean I havent been a fan of Samsung but it looks like they are trying to take over the game

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 PM ----------

Really the 4g lte is the best you have had? Im super frustrated with mine since June I have factory reset a 3 times. I cant make calls sometimes and issues with text. Im a big HTC fan but I had this issue on my og evo. Either im an idiot on using my device or the issue is HTC
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jmboulware:
Other than Sprint having a sub-3g 3g, I've never had any issues with my EVO LTE. Of course, I live in an area where lte hasn't rolled out yet, so my phone never has to switch. I wonder if the issues aren't exclusively related to the LTE switching problems.

JB
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] youngcise31:
Im not sure but I have sent off to be fixed by best buy mobile and now i have a crappy Lg loaner phone. I just hope when i get it back its fixed and Jelly Bean rolls out if not im going to have to fork out the money to get the Note 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tyler.durden:
I've been thinking of doing this also... Visited some friends this weekend and they had the S3, so I finally got to play with it a bit and I was pretty impressed. My last four phones have been HTCs, but my next one may be a Samsung. Might just wait for the S4(or whatever it may be). Or possibly that Nokia Windows phone if it ever makes to Sprint.... I guess I'm just ready for something different than what I've been used to for the past three years...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
To be honest, a thought of trying anything other than HTC never occurred to me until recently. I love the hardware, but lately, HTC reminds me of once-great video card company. Sorry for the history lesson.

3dFX was insanely popular brand of 3D video cards. Very innovative, trailblazing in the industry. They developed and had everyone use a popular 3D library called Glide (worked only with their cards), and all hottest games required Glide to work. But then they got too comfortable. They thought that they can continue leading the market, while releasing technically inferior products. They did not want to do T&L functions, 32 bit color depth, large textures. Their reasoning for lack of these features was "Nobody will use it anyway". nVidia came by and ATI, and started competing against it. They offered better tech specs and they were embraced by the industry. Glide became irrelevant, and 3dFX desperately tried to catch up. They failed and were purchased by nVidia. Now, nobody even knows who they were.

HTC seems to be heading the same way. "No need to have more memory" or "who would want to multitask properly" or "People cannot survive without Sense" are kind of driving me away. I LOVE HTC products, and been using them since I purchased HTC Touch years ago, but I just do not see anything in Evo LTE that cannot be beat by other phones. Other than great hardware design and display.

I wish HTC would wake up and be more like Samsung in terms of openness, specs. And stop with hardcore bootloader locks, release source in a timely manner, let people choose not to run Sense if they want to.

Nobody knows what next Evo will be. But they better impress me, or I may have to look elsewhere.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] filmaker:
Yeah, the LTE thing and SDcard are hard bargins lol. I don't know, I just want anything but the Evo right now, maybe I'll go to the GS3. However, nothing like having a Nexus though.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] edub186:
probably not. The sense is killing it for me. When things like making a phone call or looking at a text simply don't work. It's a big deal.

I pray to God this phone doesn't allow me to make a simple call or text in case of emergency. My phone really doesn't make calls when I hit someone's name or the green call button at times. I have to reboot my phone just to get my data working sometimes. It's really starting to annoy me. I'm really thinking about getting a iphone 5
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
You won't see a SD card slot on a nexus device. Google doesn't like them. Maybe lte though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
Based on HTCs insistence on growing the screen, slicing usable storage to 2008 levels, eating up RAM with bloated skins, and ignoring real issues as they pretend they don't exist... I can't see any good reason to trust the next evo won't be some kind of disappointment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
They just announced the Droid DNA for Verizon, pretty much the One J Butterfly. 16GB on-board storage. I just realized why Sprint keeps springing for the SD card availability. All the other carriers are getting phones without them because everything's really going through Cloud-Based Storage now... Sprint's network is so terrible right now, they are kind of obligated to do this for customers. Anyone else in favor of this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slantyshanty:
Maybe now that HTC and Apple settled something... Maybe not everything... Maybe just maybe Sprint will have another HTC phone worth a damn out soon?

Sux because I need a new phone and right now the only option (htc) is the lte. Wife has it, It's ok and I may get one... But as soon as I do there will something new. :mad:

Sent from the collective. Resistance is futile.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Agreed. But also it just makes sense. Having removable storage is just a feature that we need for our productivity. Taking that away from us is like losing a large part of what we do in customizing area. Even so, the DNA is pretty damn sexy! 5 inch HD everything. To bad I'm stuck on contract if sprint were to nab it up any time soon.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
I don't agree with manufacturers removing the option of expandable memory. It's an ongoing debate between users with different uses and needs. Personally I refuse to rely solely on the cloud for storage. I use it for backups and transfers. Others use it for streaming and storage, which is fine for them. This is one reason (among many) that I've always chosen android over apple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Agree with the post above

Plus this is the best device I've ever had, so if theres another EVO ill probably go with it again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] champ052005:
It depends for me. If HTC follows Samsung's lead and releases one generic high end phone, and if they have a sd card slot....I will gladly purchase HTC again. If not, I might move to Samsung.

Generic devices are easier to release android updates to, which I thought was HTC's plan with the One lineup....but I guess not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ra-da-god:
Honestly no, the og EVO 4g was my 2nd android and I loved that phone kept it for 2 years I've had this one for 5 months and I feel like I made a mistake. Despite their great hardware build HTC Just has too many issues to deal with, slow updates I can't even root this thing without a huge brick risk this is my last EVO infact its my last HTC next go round I'm either going nexus or Samsung.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] c5satellite2:
Google is working on bringing it back. They want an easy way of setting what goes to phone storage, built in sd, and external sd. Next Rom after JB is supposed to include such software.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] roids87:
I personally have not had a single issue with this phone, aside from LTE connection. A removable battery is not anywhere near an issue for me. The screens are only getting better. That's saying a lot considering this screen is already amazing. If there is one thing Sprint seems to be good at, it is looking at what their consumers want. Sprint specified they wanted an sd slot on the EVO 4g LTE, and here it is.

To me it seems like the EVO line is their go to product, aside from the that apple thing. I'm willing to bet that a lot of people that are complaining about this phone/evo line of phones are just mad because of the propaganda spread by Samsung. If the next EVO has the hardware I'm looking for, I will gladly by it. Hands down.

Enjoy your decision untill you have another option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
I definitely will. Looking at how much better the screen is on the HTC DNA compared to the note 2....and how much faster it is just makes me want to get my hands on sprints version which should be coming soon. HTC just makes better phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Yunq Millz:
I think my history with HTC would make me buy the next EVO, but Samsung has been impressing me recently. You see, after kicking the Rumor Touch to the curb, the OG EVO became my first smartphone. I didn't get the 3D because my budget didn't allow it. That wasn't the case when the 4G LTE was released, and I have never regretted it. My love for Sense and favor of LCD easily surpassed the S3's extra 1GB RAM and .1 of an inch to the screen. The kickstand, HTC logo, the red and black color scheme, and little things like that just feel perfect. I don't need to worry about the big things aka the specs. HTC has never failed to make a superb phone and the EVO always seems to be above the family its released among (One X). Let me stop here, because I'm pretty sure you get my reasoning. Unless the new EVO lacks a quad-core/high ghz dual-core, HTC will have my cash.
