What do you really feel about the Evo?

All I read in the forums are complaints about the Evo. I personally don't have a single issue with the phone aside from the awesomeness overdrive. Obviously, people will post/complain more about their issues than those who are completely happy with their phone. But it does skew the image of the Evo for those who happen to stumble on to XDA in hopes of researching the phone for future use. So here's a poll.

bump. i really want to know.
btw. how the frak do i change my signature?
if you can tell, its so damn old!

love it! and no issues!

Best phone I have ever owned or even used for that matter. Few issues but I think most will be solved within a month of release. Pretty damn impressive if u ask me.
Now if HTC would just release the source code we would be in heaven!!!

Same here. If there were, I don't notice it and it doesn't bother me at all for me to completely disown this phone.
It's amazing in many ways and there's still plenty of room for improvements. The roms will certainly help this phone get there.

How do I feel about the Evo..
Hmmm... EVO-lution. I was one of the very first in line at sprint and I have not put the damn thing down since. Even loosing sleep over it the phone is that awesome!

Having this phone is really starting to mess with my circadian rhythm.

I don't feel anything....but there's alot I THINK about it.

I love it. It's the phone I wish I had years ago when the first iPhone came out. I had a Hero before, and I still liked my wifes 3GS, now with the larger screen of the EVO, I don't have that screen-envy anymore. The iPhone just looks tiny and awkward now.
What are the problems people in the poll are talking about? I don't have any issues with mine.

The people that come to this site repent one half of pone half of one percent of evo owners. The people you see here are either either true hackers, heard about how awesome rooting is and want to do it without reading directions, or find us by way of common search term for a specific issue they are having.
The point is, we may hear slot of complaining here, but its because we're part of a vocal and participatory minority.
I have an ipad for work, I had the pre and before that an htc touch pro before a myriad of other phones dating back to the nokia 101. The evo and android are the closest I have ever seen to fulfilling the promise of mobile technology and convenience.
The future is here, and many of the people reading these forums are holding it right now.

My 2 Cents
I really like the EVO even though it has some issues like the Camera/Video quality for instance but most are mainly Network related so it would be a better experience had it been on T-Mobile...now the Dream/G1 A.K.A Valeria, (I named her that LOL) that's my baby, I love the **** out of that phone and still have it and probably would never get rid of it...many reasons why, it' the 1st Android phone, (so the Mother of all Androids) it's the White version (had it as soon as it was available) it was my first Smartphone and hacked phone from which I learned a little bit of Linux and it was given to me as a present on my Birthday by the love of my life...yea it's official, I'm never getting rid of that phone! Sorry, most of that had nothing to do with the EVO

I love it but my main gripes are the Android Market. Hopefully more devs make more apps or port some over. The app store isn't really organize and I would like to see some spotlighted apps or recommendations based on what apps you have installed.

Yeah. The market needs to go through a major makeover. Some apps are crappy. Needs for categories.. etc. I don't even bother browsing through it. I just search and go.

Panoramic pictures?

Anyone know of an app or if there's a way to take actual panoramic pictures with the EVO 4G? My friend thinks he's tough **** with his iPhone 4 and when he asked if I can take pictures like that I was forced to reply "I'm not sure..." :/

lol....well, any iPhoner is going to try to hang their hat on the one or two silly thing that their phone can do and ours can't. While I agree it would be cool if someone developed and app that can do it, there is a list of things our phone can do that the iPhone 4 cannot, so I wouldn't stress it.

root it, start flashing new ROMs and overclocking, shoot incredible 720p video, and sit your phone up on the kickstand and watch them, or run them through the HDMI port to a HD TV. Then tell him to go shove his iPhone and tell him he needs to keep his personal preferences to hisself. As long as you are more happy with the EVO than an iPhone I don't think it's his business.

Have you tried PhotoStitch?

I have, but it's not the same
I realize my phone is better in every other way, but I just want to be able to take those kinds of shots.
Is it all software in the iPhone that allows him to do that? Or does that phone actually have a wide angle lens? Excuse me if that's a dumb question

i would like to know too...my boss just got the epic 4g and it does the same thing and a couple other tricks with the camera too...gotta be a way to port that over from epic to evo

Maybe can you try my app Andropan
let's me know how can I make it better

If I can remember I'll check when my phone gets done juicing. But I have been looking for a decent panoramic shooter too - photostitch doesn't cut it. At all.

Ye I have been desperately looking for a good panoramic software for the EVO.
The PhotoStich app works....ok, but I want something like the Epic or Droid X as far as it helping me line the next shot up.
Andropan is pretty sweet but on my EVO at the moment, it seems to have a couple of issues with the lineup, in the end I get a picture that is not joined perfectly for many shots, this means I have items in the picture that are repeated again and again since they have not been over lapped.
As this software moves forwards though, I'm sure it could do the job nicely.
I wish andropan and photostitch would get together and have a kid or something
I'd gladly fork over 10 bucks for an app that can do what the Epic's Samsung software does, or even what the Droid X is capable of.
Love the new update Sprint just pushed out though, super smooth now

[Q] Is Evo the best or worst thing that's entered your life?

For the people that our lives have been taken over by the addiction of flashing roms, kernels, and fine tweaking our phones on a daily basis. Have you payed less attention to loved ones in your life? Gotten in trouble? "Put that damn phone down for one freakin second!!"
As much as I get yelled at, I still can't put it down! I always get into a lot of trouble, girlfriend being suspicious of texting activities, etc... All i'm doing is playing some robo defense and fruit ninja!
How's everyone else holding up? lol. Do you consider the evo as the best or worst thing that's happened?

I wouldn't day the best thing in my life, but a great power in a way.
Sent From My HTC Evo 4G Using Tapa Talk Pro!

I had a G1 before EVO and that was my first wild phone. I wouldn't say it is the best thing but it is a vital thing in my life. It is sadly also a horrible object that promotes ADD and addiction.
I wouldn't go without it!

I think I would consider it a great enhancement to my personal life.... I have been sorta in the dog house cause of it, but this is the best dog house I ever been in....

due to vows i recently took, i'm obligated to say my wife is the thing to enter my life
EVO & PS3 are tied at a close second

My fiance comes first, at least to me, but she will beg to differ. Her most famous quote is, "your always on that GOD DAMN PHONE!" I dont think I am. Only when I'm checking Facebook, the forum, engadget, flashing, backups, theming, looking for cool apps, playing angry birds, and what ever else I do on the phone. So I don't see how she don't think I put her first. At least I sleep with her at night and not the phone, even though the phone does have its own spot on the bed next to me.

I think jail was the worst thing to happen (so far).
As for the evo, I just gave it to my gf cause it was collecting dust. That's one way to get your old lady off your ass, give her one. When she's playing some stupid game say, "you're always playing with that damned phone and you don't give me any attention anymore"
Payback is a *****
LOL!
One time she was giving me a hard time. She made some comment that maybe you would have more money if you didn't buy a new phone every month. I told her I didn't buy a phone every month and why does she care? She gets the month or two old phone as a hand me down so she has no room to complain. She hasn't said anything since.

Ummmm.... I got my wife an Evo the same day that I got mine.... problem solved

Damn SNESoid and Super Metroid: Prime!!!

I bought my fiance an evo the same day I bought my phone. Got paid for some web design I did and went right out and bought evos lol

This is awesome, sounds like me and my house. It is definitely an addiction. After HTC 8525, HTC Tilt, all 3 iPhones, HTC Hero, HD2, HTC Desire a couple of others in between and now the EVO. All I hear now is "You and your phones"
There's been many of nights setting at my desk clicking refresh and reading every updated post waiting on the next best thing while she is her thing and still trying to talk to me and I aint hearing a dam thing.
I have thought many times about just getting rid of a smart phone and going back to just having a phone. But I just can't do it. I am ate up with this ****!

LOL!!!
I knew I wasn't the only one...
It's the most amazing electronic device I've ever had, and it had caused it's fair share of relationship stress.. It did get a little easier when my gf got her evo though..
And I agree, it's not the worst doghouse..

I've been a flash-a-holic since my touch pro. windows mobile sucked many hours of my life away. i spent hours modding kitchens, creating provxmls, and creating my own roms.
now... i just wait for a fresh rom update, flash, and done. ahhhh... love android. definately don't tweak it as often as i used to in WM days.... no need to... everything is rock solid with my setup in my sig...

Ill just say my phone lays closer to me in the bed than she does.

it's called balance imho
if you understand what comes first problem solved

I think they should make a tv bases off of us. Something like the show on animal planet, its me or the dog. But we can call it, its me or the EVO. Lmao

The phone always turns on for me.
The phone never complains I touch it to much.
The phone will always do what I say.
If I don't like something on the phone, I can change it.
If the phone gets broken or scratched up, I got insurance.
When a newer model comes out it wont get mad if i touch it a bit.
and last but certainly not least:
I CAN PUT THE PHONE ON MUTE!!!!!!!!!!
need i go on its not as simple as balance

Is HTC Sense a potential threat to your phone?

Hi all,
I was just wandering, is Sense a threat to your phone? For example, you're in a very important meeting that decides your future, then suddenly, somebody phones you. Then you're like "Oh Crap!" so you flip your phone over, therefore silencing the call. Then an hour later, the meeting finishes. You've either gotten promoted and now you got a high-paying role, or things go South, and you either get de-promoted or stick with your current role, or you just get fired. So you look at your phone, to ring back the nuisance that called you. To make a long story short, you scream. You slouch against a wall and cry in despair. You flipped your phone over with a bit of force. You screen is cracked/smashed/scratched. So now, depending on your current role, you can get a new phone, or have no phone, or just a cheap Nokia. But either way, you liked your HTC a lot.
So, what do you guys think. Have you been in a situation like this. For example, your phone thought you had pockets that were bigger on the inside, and rang quite loud; and you were in your holy place of worship, making matters even worse and quite embarrassing.
So, is HTC Sense a life saving feature, or a terrible feature?
PS: Somebody think of a more effective word then terrible.

Keep holding volume down button till it goes WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY down to vibrate. Done.
btw, how do u have android "3.3" on ur WFS?

Is sense a threat? No. In those scenarios it'd be peoples stupidity for not putting their phone on silent.

This post actually has no point!
HTC Sense gives you the Options to disable those features if you don't want them! Simple as that! You have a Smartphone in your hands not a cheap Nokia! lol
There is also a Hidden Feature inside the Sense Rom which if you actually find it then your HTC phone will kill you! Who's that for a threat?
Don't get me wrong I'm just saying the truth!

Its all the users fault. People at school get their phones taken up, only because they wernt smart enough to use the silent mode or turn the phone off. not htcs fault

Dude, how hard do you flip over your phone during meetings!?

sense not bad; just a bit bloated

I dunno. As long as I got Android, then I don't care. I'll check when I'm in the developing mood. That's when I got some free time and don't have any homework which the teachers constantly set but when it gets given back it never gets seen by human eyes again!

Just so everyone knows, this thread is mainly a joke. I just thought the whole thing up when I was bored.

Android and Sense destroyed my life
Android and Sense destroyed my life
The most disgusting thing in Sense and all launchers is that you can easily switch homescreens by swyping a finger.
I was a very rich man and used to have like 7 women at once. I have 16 children and never had to pay child support because of my women did not know each other.
I paid an agency giving me alibis and stuff, so it would have never been revealed what I was doing.
That changed very hard when I bought my brandnew HTC Device with Android and Sense. So how?
You know, the girls like it when you set their face as wallpaper, having a widget on the homescreen to call or message them instantly and all that stuff.
So I did it for every chick on each homescreen and every girl was happy and so in love.
Well, the other day I just dropped my phone and girlfriend 7 of 7 series 2011 just catched it up, swyping with her palm over the screen. So this was the end. She called girls 1 to 6 and told them the truth. But she did not stop. She also called the 14 girls from 2009 and 2010.
Now I am a poor man. And that just because of some dumg guys of HTC integrated a feature they call "user experience"
So I will never ever buy a smartphone again - and probably will never ever have money for one either ...

Will HTC put aircon support for sense. no? I want a phone with aircon.

Incredible -> Music player?

Welp i had a Dinc for a a bit than bought the droid razr, dont plan on going back to my incredible anytime soon. I have been browsing the roms and other sub catagories for the Dinc, my question is, is there are rom that basically strips down the Dinc, so i can really just use it for a music player? kinda like a ipod of sorts... might be wishful thinking. a friend kinda brought the idea up so i figured i ask.
Thanks!

i would load CM7 on your old incredible because it is the lightest and no bloatware. then there is a script in the dev forum that will turn off cell radio but keep wifi working so your phone battery will last forever on a single charge.
i did this for a bad ESN phone for a friend and he loves it.
