That's a tough one. I love my EVO but to say that I'm going to keep it until my contract ends in the summer of 2012 is possible but "highly unlikely". The next best thing, as always, is continuously in the making....;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
As much as I like the new phones, I don't feel like my Evo is dead yet :/. It doesn't feel old, it's still supported by many talented devs, and the community here on xda -while not what it used to be- is still pretty good. I feel like as long as devs support the Evo I could stay with it. 2 years seems like a long time, but the price for terminating early is even higher :D haha
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
That is awesome
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Pitiful huh? They wouldn't drop the price for anything this past year. Now they something new is coming, they drop it like crazy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mayanka89:
I don't have a contract, but I'll be staying with the EVO until probably next summer since I just got mine in November. I just can't justify spending $200 every year when the phone does everything I want it to do just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah, pretty much. If it gets a dev community like the Evo's, that might just push me towards buying it (the Photon). Also, I'm gonna be paying the full price for one of these babies because I'm not waiting until August and that's when Sprint said they'll reset my upgrade. On the other hand, it's great to see that Sprint has the best phones, hands down. I work at Verizon and even the Droid Bionic, if it ever comes out, can't compare to the Evo 3D, GSII, or Photon. Same for T-Mobile and AT&T.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
I feel exactly the same! My EVO doesn't even feel used. Everyday it's like a new phone, what with Synergy, Warm2.2, and the MODs all the awesome devs keep making. Hardly seems worth the expense.

For me, the 3D will just be a gimmick phone. While all the specs are quite nice, ultimately the point of it will be to create and view 3D content, of which I'm not a fan. If I want 3D, I pay attention to my real-life!!

Now, if I were Anthony Weiner, or had his proclivities, the 3D would be awesome!

The Photon and the SII both appeal to me greatly, but the former is from Motorola (ugh). I can't see me buying a Moto unless a huge Dev community starts up overnight.

But the SII...now there's a cool-ass piece of machinery...

Bottom line is I may just keep my EVO 4G and spend the upgrade money on the ASUS Tablet...

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kenlperry:
I hear you Fred, but the Photon isn't supposed to come out until sometime in July anyway right? If that's the case, and you decide to go that route, August really isn't that much of a stretch. ;-)

I'm personally planning to wait until both phones are out and then see what the folks here at XDA are saying about each. Like I said, "planning", but of course plans are always subject to change!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Count me in that bunch. That's the plan at least. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
off topic but was it 100% confirmed the 3d will ship unlocked because i cannot find anything on the subject but speculation. its a gamble buying the phone at launch if it will in fact be locked. and yes i know about htc and their "future" bootloader policy change. moto said the same and their phones are still locked up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmegalodon:
Isn't the Photon supposed to stay locked? Motor and their 'future' phone plans do not include the Photon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dreddge:
Im honestly eyeing the Nexus S....

I love my HTC devices, but the nexus S is so tempting.

I need to decide between the EVO 3D and the Nexus S
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
thats what im thinking for the 3d too. but at this point i don't know 100%.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
wait for the nexus signal issues to be fixed before buying, i found out the hard way. but it was a good phone otherwise. im sure the 3d will have bugs as well, all new phones do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
I've been eligible since March and I'm still hanging with the Evo 4g. None of the phones I'm really interested in are out yet so I'm in no rush. It's basically a wait and see deal for me. Plus, I'd like a sufficient community to build up around some of these phones so it might be a while for me. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dreddge:
I wasn't aware of any signal issues. I havent seen it mentioned.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i just wish i had a firm date on the sprint galaxy s 2. if they put a keyboard on that beauty ill be ticked!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
boy man, do a google search on it, it's all over the place. all the major blogs have reported on it too.

sorry to derail this thread myn.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Peter Chou, CEO of HTC, personally responded to an email asking if the Evo 3D is included in their plans to unlock bootloaders and he said yes. I'll try finding it again. In the meantime, I'm gonna check if the Sensation is locked down since a lot of Walmart stores have been selling them early.

I was looking at that too, but it's outdated, isn't it? The only things it has on the Evo 3D are the NFC chip and pure Android. Some company made a MicroSD card with an NFC chip built in, so that might be released in the future, eliminating the need for having them built in. Also, the button layout on the Nexus S screams "WTF" lol. The Nexus S is basically a Galaxy S with vanilla Android and NFC, that's all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gnmitchell:
I have no fc when using the news widget in landscape.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
id like to see that email. because id think the phone would of been delayed if they went ahead and unlocked them after production was done. if it's true than i may pick one up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Here's one thing that points to yes, the 3D's bootloader will be unlocked via OTA or piece of software, Sony Ericsson style: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-sensation-bootloader-will-be-unlocked/

It looks like it'll ship locked but you'll be allowed to unlock it yourself.

Here's the email:
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i figured it would be via an OTA. question is how long will it take to get it out?

[EVO 4G Android Development] miguelfp1:
hey guys (and gals), anybody else having trouble using Connected Media (the DLNA streamer) on Synergy??

if I open it, and select Music, the program Force Closes on me, and if I open the music player, and then go to Select Player, nothing happens.

Currently running Synergy 6/10 Nightly. No other issues here.

thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ira9700:
yes i did a full wipe and install, i can text with wifi but not send pics or audio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nautyicars:
Htc Mogul, Htc Hero, Htc EVO, HTC Evo 3d. Im a brand guy, ill stick with what feels the best, works the best for me, and has always performed. I like my phones to feel solid. Ive played with the Samsung Galaxy phones, we have a Epic in our family and build quality just doesnt feel on par with HTC. As many have commented too, the EVO feels like it has atleast another year left in it anywas. I also feel OnLive will be the future of mobile gaming, NVidia has to be upset about that.

EDIT: Any word on Pandora streaming correct on 6/12? Still downloading but might just wait for a future update. Im currently on 6/10. No problems on earlier builds 6/3 to 6/7. Somewhere along the lines the data streaming seemed to break. If pandora plays more then 2-3 then it struggles streaming, just wont start the next song.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
probably not long, since their would be another backlash from the community if they don't get it out, quickly.

moto and sony ericsson leave the locking for the most part up to the carriers witheir new policies (off carrier SE phones sold in Asia and Europe can be unlocked easily) and the only phone to come out after moto's announcement has been the X2, and verizon locked that one down tight, moto is not be fully blamed for that.

I highly doubt the Within (SGSII) will be altered from the versions in europe, other than having a WiMax radio and CDMA for us.

as for me, i am getting a 3D, dev community is main reason why and i trust HTC and build quality more then Samsung and I have never liked moto phones...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mutant13:
Myn, I did a full full wipe, wich I do everytime, made no mods, then checked if I was getting fc with news widget, and I did get fc with news widget, I don't have time now to wipe and check again, can anyone try news widget with 6/12 in landscape to see if it fc?i can do another full wipe later

Widget.txt ?

Thanks Myn & Synergy team and the clan of thread regulars, you guys rock !

I was happy w/ RLS5 but I have found that this ROM is very solid, no bugs to report for nightly 6/11. I don't plan to switch back as this is a daily driver already.

Just one question tho, can we control the Quick Settings in the notification pull down using widget.txt? or some other way?

Thanks,

Spike

(guess it's time to change my sig) :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yes, but OnLive requires a constant data connection, and a fast, reliable one at that. 3G/4G suck the living daylight out of your battery too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
im thinking htc will make the update to the 3d available online so only users who want it unlocked can. that's one theory i read on one of the blogs. makes sense to as not everyone roots or flashes roms. id say within two months the update would be ready. but that could be a long time for power users to wait.

as far as the sg2 it already has been altered for at&t, there is no middle iphone like home button anymore. also sprint loved to add useless keyboard. the UK version looks beautiful to me and as much as im not a samsung fan anymore it's very tempting to get. especially since they are supporting devs and rooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
i get a FC but its about sense and then it has to reload, i did full wipe before going to 6/12 nightly as soon as i try to scroll, it did let it once but it FC'ed right away.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
i see myself getting an EVO 3D around launch time, my parents might give it to me for free if they join sprint so i see myself having or selling my evo 3d to one of my family members if that happens. but im very interested to see what devs go to the 3D just with myn going i think is justifiable enough for me to make the jump lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
That's pretty much how it works anyways lmao. Unrevoked-style. I highly doubt they'd advertise it as a feature.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
Greedy. Getting it for free then selling it to family. ;)

Also to your earlier post did you wipe ext if you have one? My fc's always came from not wiping ext.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nautyicars:
Im loading 6/12 right now, ill post back in a few.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i meant they won't push it out via OTA to all the phones. ill have too see how this all pans out. right now im trying to have my two lines reset for an upgrade. i think ive got some leverage as ive had serious tower issues in my area for 5 months and dans office will be contacting me tomorrow to work out a deal. either that or they may offer to let me leave without the eft... id rather get a couple upgrades tbh. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] animal7296:
Of course you would rather get the upgrades. Something for nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
well yeah it would cost alot to move to another carrier. and it wouldn't be free upgrades, we would still have to dish out some cash. and trust me, it's not something for nothing if you experienced the massive outages and network issues we have had here since febuary. it's soo bad it made the local news and sprint is basically just giving freebies/discounts out to the customers to keep them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
I say the update will be available after launch in some manner or form, if it is not available at launch, their will be a backlash from consumers. they promis something, they better deliver ASAP or there will be issues. (samsung and the froyo updates for the galaxy s comes to mind)

if you are referring to that pic of a phone in a dock on engadget, i think it has been confirmed that is the infuse, not the SGSII.

all signs have pointed to unaltered exteriors (the case leak where the names first came out) i think what may be holding back is what radios will be in each carriers phones, will ATT support their future LTE networks, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DowntownRDB:
Myn, I called the person I sent the MMS to and she got 1st plain txt and the txt with attached picture from WIFI and then. using 4G. After seeing it worked, I booted into recovery and made a nand. When I booted up all appeared well until I tried to send another MMS picture. Failed on both 4G and WIFI. WTF?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nautyicars:
Actually im getting the FC on 6/10. Thought id try it before I went to 6/12.

EDIT: helps if i quote the right issue for the right person LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
i do know samsung is currently being sued by apple over the design so i was unsure if any design changes may come? trust me i want the gs2 to not have any keyboard or alterations. also didn't know that photo was debunked already.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
lmao my sister is the one that wants to buy it since she wants to give it as a gift to one of her friends i think, or maybe even use it on metro herself idk what it is im still trying to get all the details lol

and yea i did that i was trying to see what ppl were talking about with the landscape news widget and it FC's
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
Im going to bite the bullet and add a third line for the evo 3d. My wife is going to kill me having a work phone and a play phone. Then on August 31 my Old Evo line will be eligible for an upgrade and then I will check out the new smartphones. Then I'll have two evos and what ever else tickles my fancy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
nice lol nah if i do this ill be able to upgrade once a year through my line or the new lines im adding so ill be soooo happy! but yea thats biting the bullet right there hopefully its a good choice :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
I already have every year upgrades, by paying upwards of 250 dollars a month for two lines. But On the 22nd of this month I will be starting a family shared plan and adding the third line for 19.99 is still cheaper then 2 unlimited plans. I told my wife this was for the cheaper bill. But little does she know its for the 3d.:) But I will be paying my third line anyway. SO no harm done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
I am in the same boat as you are except my eligibility arrived in May. The Evo is an incredibly solid phone and it has a solid community. I just wonder if the other phones will have a community like there is here. I hope this community stays the same and never goes; it will be a bittersweet moment this occurs. Personally, I am looking forward to the plethora of upgraded dual-core phones regardless of the manufacturer. They all have something to offer and despite bootloader situations.

Maybe I am simplistic in some sense but despite it all...the devices are phones. However, like the tech junkie I am...I love to see the upgrades and modifications that will be offered in the future.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Solicitous:
$250 a month?!?! I feel ya, my whole family (including me) pay that amount altogether.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
I'm not sure it's a matter of picking the wrong phone. The technology is evolving so rapidly that in a year you may be wanting something else anyway. If you really like the features of the Photon that much, go for it if you think you will use all that power. On the other hand, if the development and user community we have here is that important to you then stick with the HTC. The features of the 3D are probably close enough to the Photon that you won't miss much. Either way, it's hard to say you'd be making a "wrong" choice. If this were a 10-20 year commitment, then I could see the make sure you made the right choice. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDM Civic EG8:
I really hope the EVO 4G still have devs once the E3D releases. I just bought my EVO a few months ago. And won't be getting a new phone until I finish working on my car and what not.

[EVO 4G Android Development] fixxxer2008:
the same fate the hero had is what the evo will have once the 3d and some of these new powerhouses ship this year. it's a sad fact but it always happens man. the development won't totally cease but it may get quiet here until new devs come. phones just don't have the life cycle they once had anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
Yeah thats the Simply Everything plan for two phones, two data, two insurance. Its usually averages about 238 monthly but when the wife uses 411 it can easily jump to 250 or higher. I will miss not having to worry about roaming though. Cruisin to Alaska last year(again in sept) I was using my phone and data in Juneau and Ketchikan like I was at home. Didn't get any extra charges the whole week.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vanessaem:
Agreed...

The important things I'd like in a new phone are nice call quality, speed, great overall functionality, stability and great or at least better battery life.

But second to all of that, I want to be able to root and make the modifications I want to it. I, like most of you, get bored rather quickly with tech stuff. Even with all of the "important things" I mentioned above, if a phone is locked and it can't give me the ability to make many changes to it,..ie. a locked bootloader, that may be a deal breaker for me. :rolleyes:

from my reading over at nookie forums ...

Now I "feel" my current install on my new SD card (Class 4 Sandisk) is better.

These particular cards have very good random small block r/w in comparison to higher Class cards tweaked for high speed sequential r/w.

SD Tools just measures sequential r/w doesn't it ?

Ok I hope you guys can help... Been an exclusive myn user since warm beta.... Got my wife's EVO rooted and have her on sprint lovers for a while now... I feel 6/12 is stable enough(except for all the 4G issues) to get her on this Rom... Problem is she will KILL ME if her progress on all the angry birds versions disappear... Literally kill me in my sleep... I've tried with tb, my backup pro, on my phone and no progress is there... All gone... Which very much pisses me off but worth it for the Rom... Anyone have any advice as to how I can flash this for her and not loose progress? I really want her on synergy...

Thank you sooooo much everyone here is great...

Titanium backup has always worked for me to restore angry birds progress. It also works with angry birds seasons and rio.

Just make sure you restore data only, that's it. I've been doing it for almost a year, continuously, as I've tested roms, and it definitely functions with synergy, since I've used every single synergy nightly and restored all three angry birds each day.

[EVO 4G Android Development] slippers67:
On your current rom, you use TB to backup all user apps/data. Then you wipe, flash the new rom, etc.

Install angry birds from the market. Then go into TB, find angry birds in the list, and tap it. It'll pop up the restore interface, and you can click on data only.

That's it, easy and done.

Just do it individually for each of the angry birds.

I never use TB to do a "restore all" or any such nonsense. I do it on an app by app basis so I know exactly what is being restored, and normally only data, so I'm getting a fresh apk off the market.
