[Q] Where are the dev's going? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My evo was recently afflicted with a USB fail, and will not charge and is out of warranty. It quite simply is the best phone i've ever owned, but i must move on to the next great device. One of the biggest selling points of a new phone, for me, is developer support.
I'm leaning towards an Evo 3D.. but the upcoming Galaxy S II makes it difficult to pull the trigger on a the preorder. Any thoughts?

Evo 3D is where devs are going.....most of them.

Yup, that's what I've read, too. Agreed.
Not to mention, I think anyone who has had an HTC, would have a hard time enjoying a samsung.
I just don't understand HOW so many Evo owners are moving to Evo 3D. I mean, I got my Evo on launch day (june 4th -also the same day the gb ota became avail, 1 whole yr later, still support). I know im not eligible for upgrade til feb, and that's only PARTIAL upgrade price.
Is everyone else shelling out the 500-600$ ?

Who is or isn't returning their EVO?

I'm reading a lot of complaints about the EVO. But how many of you are returning it before the month is up.
As for me I had the HTC Mogul then the HTC Touch Pro2. Still love my Touch Pro2 but i'm going to sell it.
The EVO is the first android i ever had, the best phone i ever had. I'm keeping mine.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G using XDA App at 3:36am. Sorry for the miss spelled word
I plan on keeping mine, after I get a good unit lol
I am keeping mine too. I love my rooted EVO specially using the tether app
I'm probably gonna replace mine.
Screen separation and a stuck pixel.
Return? Never unless the 30fps issues arent resolved.
I'm loving it. I'm unrooted and still love it. I don't plan on rooting until theirs a much easier, less involved rooting method. Also depends on when FroYo is expected to come out. I'm patient.
being rooted im sure every issue that is out is going to be resolved with the devs we have at xda minus the screen seperation which im not one of the unlucky ones.. im loving this phone, before having this phone the one thing i wasnt too fond of was the size of this badboy after actually playing with it now the size is one of my favorite things about it.. never thought id be one to have such a huge phone but when im messing with my wife hero im like "no way, too small for me" to think i used to think she had a big phone.. funny how things change, but im hanging on to this and am actually getting my wife one as well... luvinit
I love my EVO but I am a little salty that we got 440MB of internal memory and the droid X has 8 GBs. There's no way I am paying Verizon's prices.
I am keeping my EVO 4G being that the only competition is the DroidX and well...I get verizon's network without Verizon's prices on my EVO.

I still don't get how HTC thinks supplying such paltry amounts in a flagship product paired with 2.1 is a wonderful fit. They also supplied the EVO with a 16-bit screen so cost criteria is always at play..
I wonder how HTC-OEMs will step up their game now that the iPhone 4 is out but I think just bringing 2.2 will help a lot in the interim.
No way! This phone has been amazing so far, no issues whatsoever
I'm actually thinking about returning mine for the X. The big choice was between sprint and vzw and vzw only seems about $10 more per month for a much nicer phone.
"Their" not "There"
sorry had to fix that.
and no i'm not returning my evo, I would if sprint was coming out with a better phone but since the droidx isn't sprint no thanks.
I'm keeping my evo, because something new and faster always comes along, except with sprint, I can upgrade every year vs every 2 with verizon. Have fun with your droid x when I have my evo 2 in hand next year
I'm considering it. Both the Droid X and the Epic 4g are looking better in some areas that matter to me. The big thing that may keep me with the Evo is the user community that HTC has. I understand that the Motorola and Samsung dev group is growing but it is nowhere near as big as XDA. And since I like tweaking and improving stuff, that's important to me.
edit: Oh, and please edit the title. The "there" instead of "their" is driving me crazy. If this was an international phone, I would excuse it, but it's not. We're all Americans here and we all should know the difference between those two words.
I love the EVO!! I do have the screen seperation issue, but on a list for a new one at the shack that they say I should have this weekend. Other then that I couldnt see my self using anything else!!!

posting this again since no one has seen it evidently, but:
I called VZW and on any voice plan $59 or more/month, you get 12 month phone upgrades. So this is no longer a selling point in sprint's favor (there are others anyway, but this was the big one for me).
I'm almost 100% sure I'm taking my evo back this weekend.
I'm keeping mine. It's been working great!

Well, I got my full upgrade back. Some questions about changing to the EVO 3D...

I have an HTC EVO 4G, I'm considering upgrading to the EVO 3D.
My local Sprint store has a deal that if you have a 2 year upgrade and you trade in your EVO 4G, you can get the EVO 3D for $50.00 dollars.
I'm considering trading my EVO 4G in. As you can guess, I'm rooted. Do I need to un-root prior to trying to turn in phone in? I've taken my phone in for service, rooted without hassle before for this is different.
Also I do NOT have my factory HTC battery. I upgraded and gave my original to a friend. Is this an issue as far as trading in?
Thanks!
I did not unroot my phone nor did I put the stock battery back in. All they did was look at the esn number that was on the phone and then threw it in a drawer. They won't look through it or anything so you have nothing to worry about.

You should do it if you think the evo 3d is worth the exchange. You can also wait it out and see what else they will come out with. Im pretty sure they will come out with something much faster and better.
I would at least wipe it so there's none of your information on it
I played with the 3D in the store and wasn't all that impressed coming from the Vibrant on T-Mobile so I snagged up the Evo 4G while I waited for a better dual core. So now I am getting the Motorola Photon 4G on the 30th and since I am new to Sprint and within 30 days I only have to shell out an extra 100.
What I am saying is that over all the Photon looks to be way better then the 3D. I did not care for the 3D at all and it looked very odd. Also for me and my eyes I could see the layer that is over the screen when I moved the phone around and that was enough to turn me away. Also I really wanted one feature that really killed and that is Wiimote/other controllers and TV out at the same time. The Evo 4G and 3D wont have that since HTC has an odd BT stack that doesn't want to pair with a Wiimote and yes Cyanogen does but then you loos HDMI out so your still SOL. The Photon will do all that out of the box.
The other thing that looks really compelling with the Photon is the webtop. I see this replacing my PC for internet browsing and stuff. I don't play any PC games anymore and what games I do play are all on my phone so it is a win win win for me.
So consider the Photon before jumping on the 3D, it just might be a better match for you.
Photon better than the 3d? You are obviously joking. O....wait I think u are actually being serious.
Let's see outdated tegra 2 vs Qualcomm 2200..... No brainer.....
It will be half the phone the EVO 3d is
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Also keep in mind u will probably never be able to run anything custom on the photon, yet the EVO 3d is weeks if not days away from being fully rooted. Then all this negative crap will go away when they see what the phone can really do.

Over all the only upside to the 3D is the 3D and it is not that great I played with it for 10 min in the store and it just seemed a little odd just like the 3DS.
for the CPU the Tegra2 beats the MSM8660 in benchmarks and real life speed tests. Games are created for the Tegra2 that don't run on other CPU's because they cannot handle the texture size. 16gb storage built into Photon and none on the 3D. Webtop, true HDMI mirroring, and correct BT stack for Photon and a docking station with USB device support.
But I'm not turning this into a war of devices, I was simply informing the OP that there are other choices out there as he kinda sounded a bit unsure of the move.
Yes u can,the b/l comes unlock.on the photon, I just don't like the kickstand.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
You're right I won't turn this into a war if devices but to say the only upside is the 3d would just be incorrect. Any person could look at the specs of the two side by side and easily be able to point out many superior features in the EVO.

I just went back to my 4g after 2 weeks with a 3d. It wasn't for me as I felt the cost/benefit did not justify an upgrade. I realize now that the 4g is enough for my needs.

Check your information because it has been made very clear Motorola will not ship the photon with an unlocked bootloader.

Both Moto and HTC are bad about this. But Moto did unlock the Matrix so it's a safe bet that they will unlock the Photon to.

Especially because technology moves at such a quick rate, it's insane. New phones are being released, announced, or leaked almost every week. Besides, there's usually not too much of a significant change for many months at a time. Yeah, one phone has 1.2GHz instead of 1.0GHz, but would you really notice? And I mean really, truly notice? Not "Of course, the benchmark scores are higher", I mean "Wow, this game runs much better!".
I just bought an Evo 4G on a new contract last month, even though everyone told me that I should wait (or should have waited) for the Evo 3D. I'm very happy with my purchase, and after seeing both my boss' and my roommate's 3D's, I can honestly say that I don't regret it. Yeah, Sense 3.0 is awesome, but once root hits the 4G, I can even have that if I want.
No confirmation from Moto that they will be unlocking the Photon's bootloader. They have stated specifically that it will ship with bootloader, recovery and kernal locked as usual. Other than that it looks pretty good. Not my cup of tea, but the Galaxy S II should be here in about a month as well. If you're really patient, then most of the speculation I've read says that quad core phones will be shipping by Christmas. Personally I'll be sticking with my Evo 4G for now. 3D seems like a gimmick, no root for the Photon and, well, the GalaxyS II is a Samsung.

[Q] Upgrade Question

I am on Sprint and love my rooted EVO, I am due to upgrade now and I am wondering what Android phone would be good to get if I replaced my EVO. I really want something that I can root and have the flexibility like my EVO. Is there something out there?
thanks for any insight you have.
Wait till Wednesday because Sprint and HTC are holding a press conference to announce probably a new phone.
Im in the same boat. iv had the evo since day 1 and my upgrade is due very soon. Im going to wait until next wait to hear about the new phones sprint has to offer at the press conference. As much as i want to upgrade I also do not want to! I love my evo and i love the support base it has on XDA with roms and tweaks! I feel like no other phone will have the support the evo has!

Hey,
I would wait because htc has the best phones, but remember sprint will be rolling out with more lte phones they might be worth waiting for since we are paying for premium data, just a thought
In a similiar situation myself. My upgrade became eligible 4/1. I am waiting till wend. But my concern is ...I have great 4g where I am and am concerned with upgrading to lte and being stuck on 3g for a year or more. The Cleveland area is in the third launch group.
To the op the epic touch seems great, I just added my daughter to my plan ( she got a free evo 3d great deal and great phone) and I got to play with it. The screen is amazing and very responsive. It also has great reviews. The only drawback is the forum for it here. I have been stalking it lately and it does not seem near as nice or active as the evo. 4g 's if I am wrong please correct me.

Hey,
I mean the development community is alright for the evo3d and it is a great phone, but the evo is one of the biggest hits and has a HUGE amount of support on the xda forums and we are truly blessed with that and it really isnt something you wont find on any other phone
i would definitely wait to see what the happens with the rumors of the htc evo one
if you're following development for your next phone, i'd say stick to the EVO series.
The Galaxy line heavily favors GSM (since its natively GSM) so development for CDMA galaxy phones are the tricklings from their GSM brothers and because of that ppl get more restless, constantly expecting more from their devs as they hear about what comes out for the GSM variant (i lived it - it WILL get to you, i had the S2 since launch), but no hate intended, the development has gotten up to speed recently and the devs that have stuck around are beasts, but the S2 forum had lost a lot of support/respect from devs bc of the overly anxious community.
The EVO line is basically reserved for CDMA/Sprint. i had the E3D at launch and now my bros E4G and the development/devs/community for each had better vibes. Development seemed to come naturally and more comfortably because there wasn't a GSM variant pushing the devs because "the same phone is getting more development". Ppl are more humane, so Devs stay happy. Devs stay, so we stay happy. From the way it looks, especially with most ppls upgrades coming up, the EVO One X, or whatever, is going to be the direct successor of this phone. so you can expect a lot of the development/devs/community to translate when it drops - of course, not to the same magnitude because its not so much of a game-changer as the Evo 4G was initially, but it will definitely get a lot of attention
I was obviously contrasting GNex + GSIII vs Evo One X but you could always wait a while to see the impacts of each phone and then decide. i'm probably pretty biased bc I cant wait for the EoX to drop but as long as there are CDMA and GSM variants of the same phone, one side is always getting the shorter straw

I wouldn't go for an EVO 3d for an upgrade.. its a nice phone but would be boring due to the sense 3.0 roms for the evo and 6 months after your upgrade you would want a newer one due to the 3d being.considered old now and the EVO 4G is so outdated sprint no longer sells it
I only mentioned the e3d because my daughter got 1 free I was looking at the s2. I really wanted the new evo one coming out but it being lte, I will lose my 4g till about late 2013 or about the time of my next upcoming upgrade. So if I want to keep wimax what is the best phone?

I've had my Epic since Dec of 2010. I'll probably be using it until at least Dec of 2012, perhaps even a little longer. Not a big gamer, and no LTE in my city probably ever, so not much pressing need to upgrade.
The Epic is a beast & our Dev teams are top notch.
both me and the wife since Dec '10 I will see what is available Dec '12 to see if I upgrade if nothing with keyboard doubt I will jump ship.
If the SG3 is quad core with a great camera and external SD slot, I'll upgrade, if not, probably be with the Epic for a while longer...

I have 4 in my house and will be with them until the end of the year at least. I don't have my usual urge to change any more thanks to XDA and the Devs here.
still love my epic and doubt i'll be upgrading to anything anytime soon. hoping there's a hw keyboard "upgrade" in my future, but as Denver isn't on the list of LTE rollouts yet, there's no point in getting a new phone yet.
Unless I brick my phone before october, this will be my device until at least then... maybe longer if nothing worth it comes out... evo 4g lte is lookin pretty good to me right now though

Have my Epic since the day it came out in August 2010! I still remember standing in line (admittedly, a small line...there was one person in front of me) waiting for the Sprint store to open. Ahh, good memories.
Not going to upgrade until...well, it really depends on what gets announced in an hour. Lol. But, I'll probably hold out for the next Nexus which should be out by the end of this year, hopefully.

I have a habit of keeping phones for years after they are replaced in the market. However, I have been considering staying current these days since the technology seems to be advancing so quickly.
But, even almost two years old, this Epic still blows away many of the phones that I see friends and family toting around.
Who knows. Maybe I'll upgrade in a few months and give this one to my 4 year old. She loves it!

Asurion claim

My epic 4g touch was cool when it was new since it was so different. Once the newness wore off, I have been missing HTC ever since. The reception has always been bad, it gets laggy on strange things, and now even after wiping battery stats my phone will go from 50% battery straight to 0. It's time for an insurance claim anyway, but has anyone heard of Asurion switching s2's for an evo 4g lte, or maybe even a new photon? I would just buy one, but I'm still 6 months from a $75 off upgrade. Just checking because I saw some posts from August about Asurion forcing people to take an OG evo 4g.
Call them and ask them what other devices they might be able to offer you rather than the SGS2. I doubt they will budge and give you an evo LTE because LTE and price different according to them ins't in the same Tier as WiMax devices. Just saying what they told me and others many times.
Doubt it. Asurion's exchange list is almost always similar to ours, and currently for the E4GT that consists of the evo 3d and OG photon.

An og photon I might actually go for. I had a good run with Asurion before. I went from a palm treo, to a mogul, to a touch pro, then to a touch pro 2 all through insurance. My plan is to try and do my half upgrade in June when the new 5" HTC phone launches, assuming sprint will get it. I'm just trying to jump Samsung ship before then.
A month ago my wife's Verizon droid charge (garbage phone) was smashed. Since they replaced 3 under warranty they gave her a galaxy nexus which is a massive upgrade! The first two people we talked to would not do it. The 3rd did do it. In that case They might upgrade you. Since you have an epic no. Flash GA10 and you will enjoy. I had the power button fail on my epic that is over a year old. Ive flashed it a bizillion times. Its been with me at work and family trips.Its been great. So I paid the $100 and had a new one sent. It was brand new, never opened 12-2-2012 build. Im loving it. In no way am i saying try to switch phones! As i just spent money to keep mine. E4GT!
Not all phones are created equal. My "old" e4gt has always been "solid" with wifi/3g/4g. My sister's old e4gt on the other hand not so great.

My Epic's are 14 months old now and after the JB FK23 update they feel like new phones.
Common guys, keep up the faith.

I love this phone and the xda community is awesome & very helpful to everyone. Sprint was going to let me upgrade early to the s3 but i opted out cause this phone is kick ass. Jelly bean leaks really brought out the potential of this exynos processor. I in no way was intending on talking people into switching phones. Sorry if it came out that way. My last epic was 14 months also I loved it & I Still do. I received a new one today and it has me just as excited as I was nov 2011 when I first purchased this phone.
