[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spaghettiknight:
In my opinion HTC will always have best design, camera and screen (i prefer bright good looking LCD that HTC uses over dark depressing LED that Samsung uses) but more people are going to Samsung. I am going to wait to see what htc has to offer on new EVO but the hardware is becoming more important that the design for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] treetolber:
I agree! And sense is by far the best experience if any UI out there in my opinion. I have not tried any LG device however. But compared to Samsung, Motorola, the HTC with sense to me are superior.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robert542:
I think HTC should do away with carrier specific phones. If this means the Evo name dies off so be it. HTC needs to concentrate on 1 or 2 phones like Samsung and dare I say it Apple. HTC said it was gonna go this route and then backed off once the carriers told them they wanted their own phones. This was a big mistake on HTC's part.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
I'd like to ask this question once and for all because it boggles my mind and frustrates me to no end.

When we have such fantastic developer support, incredibly quickly progressing AOSP development, and enough kernels to keep us satisfied, on top of multiple ways to root and S-OFF (no matter what HBOOT you are)......why oh WHY do you give the slighest damn about "HTC not releasing updates"????

We're on 4.0.4. Very few official phones have 4.1. The ones that do are using leaked builds for the most part, and if that's your complaint, that just means HTC is doing a good job of keeping their stuff tight.

Seriously, people need to stop complaining about OEMs and updates on XDA. Many people come here to get away from stock unrooted, so why do OTAs matter at all?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
I would think new features and source would mean something. If you rather stay on sense 4.1 and just use the same kernels and roms around... Good for you. Nothing is worse than having a high end phone... Stuck on old hardware.

See Verizon Galaxy Nexus

See Optimus 4X (for that matter)

Everyone wants the latest and greatest man. We all *****ed about ICS on 3VO and we will be *****ing about 4.2 when we eventually get 4+ sense etc. It's the American Carrier way man... Just let the good times roll.

One day... When HTC Nexus with option to install sense is widespread in US & Google is the super power carrier with excellent nationwide 100mb up/100mb down LTE... We won't have this problem! Until then... We must go through this hellish carrier game until we reach the Nirvana man.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cherokee4Life:
tread carefully. the LTE in Chicago has only made my phone worse.

I won't get the next EVO unless they can promise it will last and not have any shady firmware/hardware issues like my LTE. My og still runs like a champ while my LTE struggles to get a connection
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
If you're so concerned about latest and greatest, you're a fool for not getting a nexus device. I personally HATE sense, so I run AOSP, which is already running jelly bean. Do you really know what you signed up for. ? I know I got this device for the hardware and my only intention was to get sense off ASAMFP. I'VE been running AOKP (Admittedly old cuz the the Evo LTE forums have VERY few devs), and it's run JB for the last few months beautifully (Notta, please come back. )

hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
I would've bought Nexus 4 but it's a fail. 16gb is toilet paper to me! I'll just wait til the next EVO... You don't see me complaining do you?

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
This wouldn't happen because the EVO name is an HTC name, not Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coolblue830:
Nope, never again. I can't trust HTC to pull a Samsung and man-up to carriers and I can't trust Sprint not to royally screw up a flagship phone just for the sake of being different like Verizon and their DROID line. I'll definitely be jumping to a Nexus next time around on TMO. Sprint's network speed is 1G slow or nonexistent where I'm at so that just makes my decision that much easier.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
^^^^^^^ "...screw up a flagship phone..." ? :confused: what? This device is better than the one X in several ways.

hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevlar3d:
Yeah, I think I am going to ditch HTC the next time around and go with a blackberry.

(Just kidding, I will probably hop on the Samsung bandwagon although sticking with sprint will really depend on LTE network status in Vegas when my contract expires)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustwun77:
I had a Samsung Moment, I can't complain about the phone. My timing sucked, cause if I had waited a little I could have gotten the OG Evo and had a much better phone, instead.

The network is what is bumming me out. Only had some sort of unofficial Wimax, and then that was mostly reachable when I was at home on wifi anyway.

Have the LTE Evo, but no LTE, probably won't get any till it IS time for the next phone. Dl speeds are really poor.

For all people have slammed the ATT network, once I was sitting next to a guy with a Jailbroke Iphone he was using to tether his laptop and he was surfing the net, and I couldn't even get my damn email on my phone. That gets old after a while.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Not worth it, don't intentionally destroy your phone.

Grass greener syndrome isn't worth Ins fr*ud.

Wait until you can do it, legitimately. By next summer or next upgrade, you'll be "OMG, OMG!" over another phone or would be EVO _XX_.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Some people you just can't reason with....

Screwed up flagship??....mmm okay

Network speed?.....yeah the whole networkvision deployment is a giant hoax.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jfree3000:
The Evo 3d made my choice very easy, went with the S3. Granted Touchwiz is no Sense but it seems like the same old bs from HTC. I liked the fact that Samsung made one device for each carrier, hopefully HTC will hop on that bandwagon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
The only thing that would help is speeding up OS updates. Do you really want a One X with no SD card slot or prefer the EVO with SD? If anything HTC should give us the updates first since Sprint had the first US phone with sense and we were the ones that started HTC's word of mouth popularity when the OG came out. Since they put us on the back burner with the last 2 flagship phones I've been recommending HTC less
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Sooooo..... What exactly are you doing over here then?.....hmmmmmmm
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Jfree3000:
I lurk, what else. But seriously I miss the Evo days and check in here every blue moon.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Let's just thank god LTEVO is the better One X variant. Look at those poor Verizon suckers man... They have every reason to be upset. They got suckered into the DROID LTE only to be beasted months later by the true beast... DROID DNA lmao. Did I mention they are on Verizon? HTC One V will get JB before the DROID LTE.... Oh wait.... LMAO!!!

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
depending on how updates go with the optimus g i will probably go with lg next round the optimus g is really nice better then htc build wise imo software wise is so so girlfriend got the optimus g and cant wait till they get cm10 on that ***** or do a straight port of JB over to it from the nexus 4 since its the same HW.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Who's gonna dev on that? Lmao
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] massivebasset:
The answer to this question is the same as the answer to the following: Will it have a kickstand?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
Me :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
there are people deving for it now and it got unlocked BL and rooted so far. just waiting on some rom devs. they are going to try to do a direct port from the nexus four over to the optimus g. since its the same phone and the phone is actually very nice it flies battery is pretty good. and the feel of the phone over all is awesome. only downside is the lg software its ok nothing amazing though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pre2epic4g:
No, I will never be purchasing another HTC product again do to their idiotic bootloader policies and update schedule. The Galaxy S 3g came out 3 or 4 weeks after this phone and they already have jelly bean. HTC needs to get their act together and that won't be for another year or 2 at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Indeed, how jealous I am that they have a TouchWiz-bloated 800 MB 4.1.1 OTA that completely and royally screws up the look of Jellybean, especially when I'm posting this from my own phone that is running pure 4.1.2.

Some people on xda....sheesh. "I hate Stock, ROM XYZ is SO much better/AOSP is so much better!" then, a month later: "Man, screw HTC not releasing updates...."

What???
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
LOL!

800MB? That is insane, thats nearly twice the size of your average dev crafted ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] piscesjoey:
Lol he isn't lying either, check out the size of the ROM I'm currently using on my S3

Yes i will buy the next evo the droid dna makes me happy to think about what they will come out with in the next rendition of the Evo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
I will probably buy the next evo but I will buy used so I don't add to HTC'S/Sprint's sales. Need to get a point across about updates
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Speaking of "Next EVO", what can we expect?

Sprint is pro- SD Card so that is a plus.

Next EVO specualtions:

New unreleased Qualcomm Chip (Quad)

800Mhz LTE support added

4.7 in screen hopefully (I'll take 5 inch but hell 4.7 is pushing it)

2700 mAh (I'd like 3000+)

12 megapixel camera / 2 megapixel front (Zoom will be a highlight hopefully)

HTCSense.com security features

Kickstand

newer screen / better quality

Uniform build

SD card flap or USB flap (LOL, ripping that off)

Not as pretty as the next generation One series

32GB of onboard memory (no other options)

Sprint PTT (somehow I see this coming aboard & I curse it's exsitence)

Better 2 stage camera button

No removable battery

Apple patented stuffs returning & newer additions (Thanks to the new agreement)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
HTC will fail on battery again... That's a guarantee.

Why would you want an enclosed battery? The unibody is bull****. I want to be able to remove the battery. Slimness is am excuse, S3 has removable and is still slim as hell

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Just guessing what they'll do & not so much what I want to see. :silly: I'll take a removable battery any day.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] parmend:
I'm a evo lte and s3 owner and I'm done with HTC . lte bug, updates and dishonest HTC employees . its a nice phone but having the s3 and 4g 95% of the day is a no brainer .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredox19:
I"m either going samsung or a nexus. If sprint ever get a nexus.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] garrisonc:
Not a chance

Hardware-wise, the EVO line has always had a pretty good edge. I especially liked the shutter button and dedicated imaging chip. Software and support wise, couple with Sprint's bull**** service have eliminated it from being an option in the future. Locked down source on ImageSense and absolutely no mention of official updates, consistently getting dial-up speeds from fake-3G towers. It's unbelievable. I can only blame myself for making the same mistake twice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xcesivemastub8ah:
Sure. If it has awesome specs and catches my eye. Like every other phone I've ever owned. Speaking of.. I've owned phones since the startac in the 90s. About 15years of cell phones. Not once have I ever owned a spare battery. And that includes the original att branded tilt. Honestly I don't understand why removable battery is such an issue. What do you guys do that you need a spare battery? That a removable battery is a must? Spend all day at the park playing angry birds? Must be nice. 90s . Had class in morning and work at night. No time to drain battery. Now I have work nearly half the day. Still no time to drain battery. And if I did I'd be inside near an outlet where a $5 charger makes more sense than a $50 spare battery. Can someone please enlighten me? I'm curious as heck if its a real issue or just people jumping on some kind of complaining bandwagon because they think its the cool thing to do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Dude, it's getting harder &harder not to get the SGS3... I'm holding on, but it's a tough fight... The white SGS3 is gorgeous man

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pbedard:
Get it man I did but not on spri
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AB33:
HTC needs to stop making phones without removable batteries in all their latest phones and non expandable storage in some of their phones. I think that killed the potential of the One X, EvoLTE, OneX+, One S and Droid DNA. The hardware, screens, cameras, and software are amazing. The aforementioned let downs allowed Samsung to kill them this year with the GS3 and Note/Note 2. I had the EvoLTE for 2 months before getting the GS3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
How is it man? I'm really on the fence on that s3. The white one is just too damn gorgeous

***Your Tears Are Sweet Ladies & Social Rejects***
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Not much different from the EVO. I been playing with it for over a week now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AB33:
To be honest, I really like it over the EvoLTE for my needs and usage. I do miss the stock keyboard, camera, and screen on the EvoLTE but the S3 camera and screen aren't too far behind and I use SwiftKey3 for my keyboard. The S3 just performs better day in and day out for my needs and it has a lot of motion/intuitive apps/gestures that makes things easier. If the EvoLTE was on TMO, had a removable battery, and didn't freeze up then I would have gone that route...LOL
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Almost switched to S3 couldnt get past the Iphone button otherwise the one and only thing it had that evo doesnt is good multitasking all the other crap totally pointless. also didnt care for the widgets. but it was just as fast as the evo n obviously smoother since it has JB and not ICS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cytherian:
^ Did you ever hear of the V6 SuperCharger for Android? Changes the whole game.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] piscesjoey:
I enjoy being able to swipe my palm across the screen to take a screen shot & being able to use voice commands to take pics, among other things that I probably haven't found out I could do yet lol, but to be honest you can't go wrong with both phones, they both have their pros & cons, like the Evo screen blows the S3 screen out of the park for one.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webshuuter:
Htc downgrading

I have the 4 g LTE and I feel the fact that the battery is not removable kind of sucks. I know it gives it a better shell, but having a device that is customizable is what android is all about. If the next EVO does not have external storage I will not consider buying it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Sprint made sure it was added in this EVO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
While this is true, the OEMs and even google are both pushing more and more to stop it and go to only onboard storage... This is a real threat and very serious one at that to be honest as last I herd from a individual in product dev for then they had to fight to get it in the EVO and were not sure how long it'd stay around...

As for the battery, there is a pro con debate done and thickness of the device and such when they decide on this evidently...this not set in stone by any means...

800MHz LTE..... Ehh that's a possibility but don't be surprised if I'd doesn't happen on the very next one as it isn't even being tested till later next yr anyway...

To the person that made the comment about quad core only..... Read up please bc I can show you dual cores that blow quads put of the water in every way... # cores mean little in the end. Processing arch, cortex and all that mean so much more...

Haven't seen Qualcomm's roadmap for next year yet but I hope something special is on it as I'd prefer to NOT have the APQ SoC that is on the DNA as it'll be old by the next EVO is out...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoldenGlove:
As of right now, I can say no.

I can deal with Sense, but I cannot deal with the phone not being able to consistently connect to an LTE signal and just getting a weak signal overall than the GS3. I have LTE in my neighborhood and around some spots in my house, but I can't connect to it sometimes unless I cycle through the radios a few times, turning on airplane mode, entering the dial settings... it's just a shame I have to do this for my phone to work.

My next phone will be based on how well it connects to LTE and handles the handoff from 3G. This phone isn't good at this at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Anything less than quad & 2gb of ram will push me to Samsung. Samsung is doing everything RIGHT at the moment & I really believe the S4 may be the beast of the century. I've said it since day 1, all htc needs to do match Sammy on specs & I'm sold. Build quality & software is already way better than Sammy... Despite NOTE 2 owning htc on software. Only thing keeping me from NOTE 2 is no SVDO... COMPLETE FAIL

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rocklee99:
Prolly not...atleast anymore...they're cool...but they're the evos...the "other" HTC phone...great or not, its usually looked at AFTER everyone else...soo...maybe Samsung...:/ maybe Samsung will make a nicer built phone from now on
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phonefixdfw:
I doubt i will... I have a family plan with my EVO lte and 3 x galaxy s 3's.. I think Samsung is improving much more rapidly than HTC. My original evo rocked. Hated my Evo 3d.. My LTE i love sometimes but it still does random odd things that the gs3's dont seem to do. i get jealous at times.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
i had all 3 evo's og evo ... evo 3d... and now the LTE.. i was happier then a pig in **it when i got this phone now im not feeling it at all... i never owned a samsung phone befor but im really thinging about getting one after this phone..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaoMinerva:
Thats how I feel bro. Sammy even has usb otg out the box without a need to root it. Why can't HTC just add these simple features without making us root. I'm willing to bet a $100 right now that the excuse to android 5 for this phone will be... "The EVO LTE has 1gb of ram... Which isn't enough"

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dre22era:
As of now "No"

I feel like i have been lied to and cheated on by my girlfriend in regards to Sprint & HTC hyping up this phone to be the best and then turning right around and providing little to no innovative support for the phone. Even the Dev MikG let me down too not living up to his promise of creating a custom ROM for this phone like he did for the OG EVO which to this day is still one of the best Custom ROMs out there.

I would be extremely unhappy if I never rooted this phone.

This past weekend I was at a sports bar in DC (Where there is still no LTE) and a chick sitting next to me was happily browsing facebook on her Verizon HTC phone.Web Pages loading up in the blink of an eye while I was trying to do the same thing on my phone and 3G in the area wasn't even strong enough to pull up any web pages. I am tired of the frustration not only with HTC but also with Sprint but the only thing that keeps me with sprint is my discounted plan and unlimited data.

I have owned every HTC EVO Phone and in regards to the battery life of the LTE I only see people who are 1st time EVO owners complaining about the battery because if you was a EVO 3D owner, we all know the battery life on that was atrocious and the EVO LTE was definitely an upgrade.

I vowed to never buy another Samsung Phone after the Sprint Samsung Instinct debacle.

The Samsung a900 is actually my favorite phone of all time.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] engelsione:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coffeestoned:
I would consider anything HTC has to offer. I like the feel of everyone of the devices I've owned from them. (I did not own the HTC Diamond) Yet I have seen a few phones that have peaked my upgrade interest. LG has finaly made a phone I want to try and it's an Optimus G and the RAZR HD. Yet I like where I am in the HTC Evo LTE. I'd never want to own a Samsung right now. They are made with too much light plastic. The hardware on the 3S is nice, but I would never want to carry and off the Galaxy line. I'll have to see the styling of the new phone and see if I willing to upgrade at all. I stay with me EVO 4G for two years because it was the better choice. Newer phone just were not that much better so I stayed. I hope that is not the case this time round. I want the next phone to be the a big jump in specs then my old phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ronniemayo:
EVO always has the specs that people want. It's always the most appealing phone at time of release, for me at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
It's like the perfect bait.

This EVO was very conditioned spec wise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dandan2980:
I don't know why people complain about the specs??? Our phone has 1 gb of ram compared to the gs3 2gb, but honestly my brother owns a gs3 and stock vs stock my EVO performs better in every day use. Literally no lag his constantly lags. And touchwiz is FUGLY. Atleast we can skin our phones. And the ram is bigger on the gs3 cause it has to be there roms are huge in size compared to ours. Let's not forget about the beats audio which to me makes improvements to audio. I won't run aosp anymore cause audio quality is terrible. I will always buy HTC cause that's just me. Lte is Sprints fault not HTC and the only negative I can personally see is no sd card slot. If the next EVO is not gonna have expandable memory atleast make a 32 gb option. Messed with a note 2 at sprint and all I can say is lag lag lag.
