Going with the lg g flex announced for sprint sometime this first quarter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gameaddict8:
Any word on pricing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] knotcw:
Im guessing in the note range probably $199 with eligible upgrade no less than $700 buying outright
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ew2x4:
Sprint sold off all the towers in parts of CO that I travel frequently, so we bailed on Sprint. I picked up a Nexus 5, and my wife a Moto G. We are now with AIO. We'll save a little but of money, but the coverage and speeds are much much better where we live. Especially compared to when we first moved here.

The Moto G is surprisingly great. It's very snappy. $200 off contract is great. My Nexus 5 tho... It's pretty incredible.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pizzalover83:
Ordered the nexus 5 Jan 1st on amazon using my upgrade. It flies, I'm never on 3g anymore where my evo was always back and forth. The evo left a bad taste in my mouth. Don't think I'll ever go for a skinned device again.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmmmmmmma:
You'll be back once you realize how plain/boring it can be. Specially if you are heavy exchange user or even otherwise. I did gnex for about 10 months. I'm never going back to plain vanilla again. Not after Yanks' Sense 5 on eVOLTe. If the myth about official Sprint Sense 5 w/4.3 becomes real, I think I'll use this phone until it breaks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kevlar3d:
Mine broke on 1/1/2013, the day that I was eligible for an upgrade. Touchscreen sensor went bad, with any rom I was getting ghost taps all over the screen but especially in the top 1/3.

I was torn on which to purchase... nothing really excited me. So I finally just sent the evo in for a squaretrade warranty repair. Most of the new phones come out at MWC so I think I will wait a few more months to see what comes out. Hopefully sprint gets the galaxy s5 active.

In the meantime, I am using a loaner iPhone 5c from work. For the life of me, I can't figure out how these things are so popular (marketing, marketing and more marketing). The only benefit I can see is the unified notification center. With iPhone you can check which apps are capable of notifying you in one place, with android you have to visit each apps notification settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pizzalover83:
I had the OG evo and the evo LTE. Both were rooted. I ran aosp almost exclusively on the og evo and loved it. But I had too many problems with aosp on the evo LTE. I have no desire for sense anymore.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
This right here to the tee. AOSP doesn't like these phones as much which is why I'm on sense
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pizzalover83:
Not to mention the things sense broke on android and the so called "features" on sense like data shutting off at night (I work nights). Multitasking was nonexistent, which according to HTC "was the way it is supposed to be" instead of admitting they borked it, Google nav freezing for months without a fix. So I've had it with skins and sense in particular.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Aeonus:
My thoughts exactly. I'm in the same boat. I have my OG evo (which had great dev support) and this evo LTE (which has quickly died off).

HTC takes its sweet time with updates (alongside Sprint), which I guess I can sorta understand, but I don't really enjoy sense enough to outweigh the outdated feature set while waiting for updates.

I'm trying to run AOSP on my phone but I have various problems as well that I can't live with (some freezing occasionally, data problems on the KitKat, etc.). Frustrating.

I'm either going Moto X or Nexus 5.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
And thats a question I can't decide for my self. Moto X or Nexus 5
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ProcessorHog:
Probably a nexus

1.5 years after I got my Evo LTE, there's still no LTE where I live (was supposed to be here Sep 2012, ha!). With the terrible speeds, I'm not re-upping my Sprint contract even though I'll be eligible for an upgrade in about a week.

I love the sleekness of the Evo LTE though, it's been a pretty good phone so far. Took a couple of spills (on concrete, of all things) and still works great. The screen is almost as good as new (I don't use cases or screen protectors). Still runs all the games and apps I throw at it. I did have to send it in twice for warranty repair, both for the camera dying on me, so I'm probably going to stay away from HTC for my next purchase.

I was on stock rooted until a couple of days ago. I flashed CM11 nightly (kit kat) on it and I'm really loving the performance of this phone. Everything works, it's very stable and super smooth. It even sends song info over bluetooth to my car with CM11 on it (HTC stock ROM did not do that). I might ride out my contract and get the next nexus when it comes out.

For people who are getting tired of this phone, I recommend CM11. It's almost like buying a brand new phone with better specs because CM11 runs much better on this hardware compared to the stock rom. I'm on the latest nightly (20140108) and I haven't seen any issues with anything I have tried so far.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Finally pulled the trigger. Decided on the N5. $119 thru wire fly. Ordered yesterday and should have it tomorrow.

Happy days
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
Do you guys ever check Amazon? N5 $35.. They always have the best deals.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] electronleaker:
HTC ONE!!

Probably the HTC One+ I can renew in September :(

Sent from a pay phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazydazed:
ive been thinking about waiting for the MWC to decide on whats next... but with that price and the specs the phone has along with more updates than we ever saw... this is a no brainer.. the moto x only has 1.7 quad vs this 2.26 quad and almost the same battery. i appreciate the heads up bud!! just pulled the trigger and for $70 itll be here on tuesday...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
Dude wth.. $35 with a new line or upgrade and $450 off contract.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rickyb316:
Thanks man I'm on mobile amazon I don't see those options. Is $35 just for sprint? Have an upgrade in February but I have no lte in my area.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
I have no idea as I have sprint and only look for sprint phones. Use desktop mode when viewing Amazon. The mobile version sucks and don't give much details.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rickyb316:
I get a lot of fc using desktop site. I'm using Dolphin. When I was searching car parts on desktop site you plug in your car info and gives you everything compatible. That's when i was experiencing all the FC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nolageek:
Bleh... I've had 3 HTC phones and, up until last week, I've been on a Sense based rom for about 15 minutes total. Honestly, I hate it. I'm on it now only because I'm tired of the flakiness with the EVO LTE and all of the AOSP ROMs I've tried. I'm done with HTC after this phone. I'm definitely getting something more AOSP friendly next time around. Shame, because that's why I got into HTC in the beginning.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:

My hope is M8 will have the right hardware and dev community behind it.

N5

I was going with the Nexus5, but I read recently that the tri-band is fouled up on Sprint. You have to manually toggle between lte and CDMA. So I'm back to square1.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sladehawke:
I've been HTC since the Hero, but I'm really thinking about the LG G2... It's a pretty amazing phone for the price (wife got one for 50 bucks, not sure what they are now...). I'll probably get whatever has the best camera when they launch the next flagships in May.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
Seen a feedly on new HP tablets launching in India. 6 and 7 inches. If they make it to US that's what I'm going for.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] protoadies:
I got the gs4 for christmas. ... yeah im gonna give it to wife im going back to evo lte... I wont be upgrading unless I have same size phone as lte and microsd .... until them im stickinf with what I got.

I'm going with the S5 its rumored Samsung will make stronger builds similar to the HTC one's build and plastic builds. I would've chose the S3 and not the LTE but the build was all plastic. Plastic in phones is a deal breaker for me.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RayTrue04:
Is tap & pay still broken for everyone who updated to 3.17.651.4? Don't mean to take this topic of subject but this thread is like one of the most active ones lately and I'm currently tweeting with Mo and they're not aware of the issue. Told me to update wallet but I'm up to date. My Tap & Pay is gone and nothing I do brings it back after that ota we got Oct..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redwings23:
blah...

Im ditching Sprint and HTC all together. Such a let down from the service side, I've hardly seen 4g at all in S.FL, they promised it over a year ago, then bumped the date to last month; a 12 month delay from the original 4g release date and now nothing. I cant even make a voice call in my neighborhood (outdoors). I've gone through 3 LTE Evo(s) and whatever the connection problem is, it seems endemic to the brand. Before you disregard my gripe, please note that I live half a mile from the sprint store. I've been on an air rave tower to correct the issues, but ive traveled throughout 4g land and havent EVER had a reliable 4g connection.

Meanwhile, my girlfriend's LG somethingorother works fine in the house 4g and all.

Ive been an HTC fan boy since the hero, but no more.

Sprint's reaction to all of this has been the worst I've ever heard of. Their customer service attitude is poor at best, and they are seemingly unable to solve the smallest of problems (such as providing the service they charge me for...) One would think after a decade with a company some doors would open easier.

I am DONE. Any respect I had for HTC and/or sprint is gone, and I will be going for a N5 with MetroPCS. It makes sense economically, as sprint charges you double for your phone over a 2 year contract, and MetroPCS can connect me wirelessly where I live ( a highly populated discrete geographical area 15 miles wide with an ocean on one side and everglades on the other.) Any cellular provider that can't provide consistent service to Dade/Broward county is pathetic. The land is perfectly flat (no line of sight issues), and the habitable space is 10 to 20 miles wide, with tall buildings only on the far east edge. Other than that there are palm trees, and if you stand on a 3 story roof anywhere you can see ocean and swamp. I'm frankly baffled that a device both companies lead with 2 years ago could fail so miserably on so many levels.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmmmmmmma:
Assuming you've told this to Sprint, what response have you got from them?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] basotl:
Same boat

I'm really on the fence between the Moto X and Nexus 5 myself. The Nexus 5 is more powerful but the always on voice commands seem like something I would love while driving to work.

I'm planning on getting a Moto G for my wife, it seems to be a well made budget phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottborasjr:
My upgrade is in February but I am going to at least wait until the flagships are announced if not out before I decide. I'm really hoping that I don't have to go Samsung, but removable battery and sd card access are a game changer for me. So we will see what they announce here sometime in the next 4-6 weeks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redwings23:
Assume I brought these issues to sprint's attention in a manner a reasonable person would. My response from them has ranged from being hung up on all the way to being asked to leave the store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
They probably said were working on it now waited on an answer and said have a good day sir! This is Sprint were talking about lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Will Rickards:
I'm not really feeling the nexus 5.

But it will probably be a phone with an available google play edition.

Sense isn't needed anymore I don't think.

But I really want a user replaceable battery. After two years they really need to be replaced.

And it must have a micro sd card slot.

And I'd prefer a large screen like the ltevo or larger.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rapazzo:
Just bought the LG Optimus G good bye htc :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js417:
I activated my old Evo and 3d online,(because I did not want to give up my Evo 4g lte) took them into T-Mobil.....walked out with Samsung Galaxy S4 for my wife & Note 3 for me, zero down, and they are covering my termination fees. Good bye Sprint & HTC
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tommyjoesanders:
How easy was the process of giving up sprint and go over to t-mobile. I been thinking about it for last few days giving up sprint service
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] js417:
Very easy, they port your sprint # over to t-mobil, All you need is the sprint pin code and they do it all for you....takes about 10 min. The hardest/longest part for us was picking a phone. My data speed are way faster, I can now watch hd tv/youtube, etc without interruptions
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pizzalover83:
Or they were like "were busy switching wimax towers over to LTE".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
What wimax towers. I had the ogevo for 3 years and never once seen wimax and I'm near the Charlotte area.:sly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scoot0073:
I'm leaving HTC in favor of the N5
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redwings23:
Wimax came to sofla, but never worked well on my OG evo (here, or in Detroit area.. fool me twice).

They definitely told me the "we're upgrading towers" line.... failure on my part for not ditching sooner.

... ... I was so happy they were making a new Evo. :(...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SimianJones:
Well, except for the HTC EVO 4G LTE that you kept. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Your data speeds are faster, but were yougetti g LTE on sprint? I get LTE everywhere and am pretty damn impressed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dc300m01:
My upgrade is in 7 days. I love my ELTE, but within the last 4 days, it seems my internal SD card is crapping the bed. I was s-off and enjoying all of the roms for over a year. Then it just started to freeze. The screen would freeze, but music would still be playing. I could turn the screen off, but getting it to come back only worked like 10%. When it wouldn't come back, I'd do the power button reset and get into a bootloop for 1-10 minutes. Couldn't mount the internal SD in TWRP.

So I'm back to stock, S-on and ready to take it to BB to for a new one. I can either get a new LTE replacement under warranty and wait until some new phones come out (don't know when that is), or get new ones. Wife wants the S4. I want the One or the One Max. Decisions decisions!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmmmmmmma:
Get a replacement from BB and stick to eVOLTe, man... Used One for a short time and wasn't all that impressed, gave it to wifey and came right back to my eVOLTe. Also, there's talk of Sense 5 4.3 OTA coming next month. You won't regret it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ajamin24:
Who is thinking MOTO X? I'm leaning on getting the MOTO X via Moto maker. But I don't know if I want to be trapped in a 2 year contract with tech that isn't up to date and will only get older.

To be honest, I would go N5, but I don't want to pay unlock full price. sigh... I love my 4G LTE...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SimianJones:
Currently $34.99 with contract upgrade
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] phillymade:
I'm at the end of my contract. I'm going to wait for the new devices to be announced, if I don't like anything ill go with a Note 3
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ajamin24:
Thanks, but I can't go with 16GB version. Too little space. I currently have 14GB free on my 32GB (29.7GB) SD card, but I have been below 5GB available due to Roms, nandroids, music, photos and other backups. I did some spring cleaning recently. :silly::highfive:

I guess I'm wondering if I should wait for the next Gen Moto or get Moto X 32GB. Going through Moto Maker I could get it for less than $200.

I wish Sprint would bring out N5 32GB for contracts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smallba:
HTC hasn't shown me anything as of yet, I'm leaning towards a LG. Just not sure which one.:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
Already got a moto x. Best phone ever and couldn't be happier to never have to deal with HTCs junk software again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] r3volution327:
I bought my evolte used for $100 because I was frustrated by the amount of apps were going unsupported with my Motorola photon on 2.3.5. I was very happy with the evolte, and the fact that HTC let's you unlock it. No regrets there, but as my contact was up I pulled the trigger on a nexus 5, if you like tinkering, and flashing, then I would highly recommend this phone. So much support on xda for it, and blazing fast.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 PM ----------

Edit: almost forgot my favourite gain from going from the evolte to the n5.. I get amazing LTE coverage on this phone, my biggest disappoint about the evolte was ****ty lte
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WiFi_N:
I ordered it on Feb. 1st at 12:15am ET. It shipped at 5:30pm on Feb. 1st. Amazon has "guaranteed" that it will arrive on Monday, Feb. 3rd. Simply amazing turnaround time. If I had ordered off of Sprint, I would've paid an extra $30 and probably would've had to wait until Friday.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
Just came from a Sprint Store and I'm definitely doing the easy pay to get a one max.

LG G2 or Flex

I have to agree with all the years of owning HTC EVO only to install CM and AOSP that it doesn't make SENSE. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jmcamz2899:
Im waiting to see what is shown at MWC later this month. Maybe the new htc one, especially if verizon has it on release day. I really like sense over touchwiz.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wolfclan68:
My EVO took a major crap for about 6 days two weeks ago. During that time I was on Android Central and found out about the $50 Best Buy upgrade credit if you register on line. I knew I was going to upgrade eventually this year. When I couldn't take being without my EVO anymore went in and grabbed an LG G2, got out the door for $48. This phone is smoking, same processor as the N5 but some LG UI on top, bigger screen and battery. Been running it stock for over a week, very nice. Gonna have to mod it to really make it sing though. BTW my EVO lives again after HTC RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] loffer:
Note 3 or GS5 on Verizon
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
After 5 phone replacements, and my phones messing up at the worst of times, it's time to move on. It surely has been good to me, and I don't regret making this decision.

For the price, I might go with the One. However, the GS4 has Sprint Spark (Tri-band) capabilities, and it's cheaper. I don't like TouchWiz, and I prefer HTC's build quality, but mobile data is a factor for me. Not quite sure what I will do as yet.

I know that the S5 is coming out soon (Monday, I think), and the new One on March 24, but I don't care much about having the absolute latest. Lastly, the One Max is a little bigger and more expensive than I prefer. But it does have Sprint Spark as well, so I'm ruling it out.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I am now currently eligible for my upgrade. However, my budget is extremely limited at the moment. So I am looking at the $99 options. Within those, the only two phones I'm considering are the HTC One and the Google Nexus 5. I've read the specs and though I've been with HTC since the OG EVO, I really like what the Nexus has to offer. That being said, I also really like the look and design of the One. Basically, I'm fishing for some input/recommendations here so if anyone has any info or personal reviews that they wish to share with me, I wholeheartedly welcome them.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I'd hold off at least until the M8 is officially announced on the 25th of this month.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
I probably will Fin but I'm not even sure I'll be able to afford that phone. Unless things really turn around financially, I'm extremely limited. I do really like the looks of that device though.

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
I understand. Do you still have your OG lying around? You could sell it and put the money you make on top of what you have already saved and buy a new phone, then sell your LTE and have a little extra cash on hand, to boot. Not saying the M8 is going to be "the" phone (for me, it probably will be my next phone) but at least leave your options open. Also keep in mind that places like Amazon usually have decent cell phone deals, even compared to stores like Best Buy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] :
No, my OG went back for buy back credit when I got the LTE. I know, I know, stupid move. I only got $48 for it. What's even worse is Sprint is only offering $28 buy back credit for the LTE. Sad.

EVOlved human
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Don't make the same mistake and sell it back to Sprint;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
I've got the N5. I love it. It is tri band capable if you're on sprint. Great reception. No issues for me and everything just works.

I also like that it's smaller than the One. But I think it's marginal
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
I agree w/ fin, while you may not get or even be able to afford the m8, it will change the market value of other phones most likely when released.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] akaTRAP:
I don't think I'll ever touch another HTC phone again considering, from my experience anyway, it was difficult to root, I couldn't flash it, and my phone is still on 4.1.1. I don't think HTC supported this phone at all once the HTC One came out. Since my mom's upgrading (hey, broke college student, sue me :P ) from her S3, I'll just use & root that until a phone that's just as root/ROM friendly comes out. Maybe the S4? Or the Note 3? idk, but I do know is, if HTC continues the trend of not supporting older phones when the newer one comes out, I won't touch the One or the "M8".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MFOsaka:
Dude, this phone is cake to root and there's quite a few great ROMs for it. I'll probably stick with this phone til it falls apart.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] akaTRAP:
