New phone choice help needed. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having Sprint send me a new EVO due a **** load or issues.. my mother is allowing me to use her upgrade after they begin to ship my replacements tomorrow. I'm going to best buy and they have 4G phones....
*HTC EVO 3D
*SAMSUNG EPIC 4G
*SAMSUNG NEXUS S 4G
HTC EVO 4G
HTC EVO SHIFT 4G
I am torn between them with the astriek marks.
Can someone please help me decide. I plan on rooting and what not.
My current EVO and hero will be traded back to bestbuy for around 189 bucks. So help me out peoples.
Thanks.

I agree epic is crap.

Well I already have an EVO and sprint is sending me another one in a few days once I order it tomorrow. I really do love sense but I have heard a lot of bad about the 3d. Like overheating, freezing, bad funny speakers and reception Nd WiFi issues. Now I'm usually always on WiFi and use bt. So Idk what will happen also I have literally no bars so reception might be even worse for me.

Wait for the sgs2 then you'll have a even more badass phone
personally i think the epic is futureproof as it comes, it still has the fastest single core out there with an even better gpu. if only it was equipped with 1gb ram sigh
I could see why someone would want a pureGoog phone, and the NFC stuff is nifty... But jumping ship from the Epic with all the fantastic ROMs available for it? I wouldn't do it.

[Q] thinking of buying the sgs24g is it worth it?

first off i have an evo shift 4g, running cm7.
i had a nexus s 4g for a week before i decided i didnt like it and went back to the evo shift.my main issue was non removable storage.
now my interest is in the sgs2.
ive never used the touch wiz ui. but i do prefer vanilla android.
id be buying the phone out of contract for 350 new.
whats the consensus should i buy it?
Not gonna find better on Sprint at this time...period.
Just moved on from the 3d and I couldn't be happier. Don't hesitate at all

Just came from an Epic 4G... this is best phone Ive owned so far and the CM Team just received it, so they might work on a CM7 port.
Paid retail price coming from the 3d. Worth every penny of $499.99. Yeah I sold the 3d for 275, but still its worth every penny

No more SuperSonics?

Well...I heard of some people actually messing up there EVOs and being given the EVO 3D in replacement....
But just last Tuesday I broke mine and I got my OG EVO in the mail last Thursday...I'm jus curious how and why didn't y'all jus ask for the EVO 4G?
Most just do an online claim through asurion so theres no one to talk to. And most see the e3d as an upgrade to og evo therefore not requesting an og but moving on to bigger and better places.

OiSeee...maybe me calling it in was the difference makes sense..i just didn't wanna get rid of my SuperSonic experience lol
Stores are pulling them from the sales floor. A week ago Sunday had to go to best buy to pick one up for my sister in law and tomorrow am ordering a epic touch from amazon wireless since they are a penny for upgrades and new lines.

They definitely have refurb replacements in stock you're not getting a 3D lol. If they don't they will say the 4G is on back order and either make you wait or give you a loaner or something. You won't get a 3D that easy.

Actually your wrong they are giving them out that easy cuz for
1. They wanted to give me a 3D and all that happen was the infamous charge port.
2. My wife's Epic4G gave out they replaced it with the 3D.
3. Her mom went in and talked to a repair guy about her Epic4G over heating and they gave her a 3D as well.
So yeah they are replacing your smart phone for the 3D if you DONT ASK FOR IT!
Now you've got me wondering if I should trash my 4G just to get a 3D as a replacement.

Bad karma, if you break it on purpose you won't get a shiny new E3D, you will get a crappy refurb ...
I don't believe in karma, but I had to throw that up! LOL
Called in to check, after reading the thread. One of the EVO's on my plan is having issues. The CSR asked if I wanted the EVO4G or the 3D. So I guess it might also have to do with luck of the draw :/ .

Why not replace the screen on the evo and sale the new one or old one and make cash towards a new 3D I sold two evo 3Ds for 200$ each recently.. people don't really want them anymore currently :-(

Asurion replacement for EVO 4G?

Well, today I cracked the screen on my EVO 4G. I called the closest Sprint repair center and they say they don't replace them anymore and that I have to go through Asurion to replace the phone. I went ahead and made the claim through them so I'll get another phone probably Monday or Tuesday. I've read threads and posts from back in Feb/March/April saying they were replacing the EVO 4G's with EVO 3D's. Anyone know if this is still the case?
Not sure but Asurion should be able tell you. Did you have to pay a detectable?

Good to know. Thanks for the info.
When I replaced my wife's OG evo, they sent a 3d. When I replaced mine, I got an OG evo. So i guess it really is 50–50 lol
I read somewhere if you do the claim online that it'll tell you what they're going to send out before clicking submit but I have yet to try that way.

Thinking about ditching my nexus s for an epic touch

Do you guys think it is worth buy a used epic touch and getting rid of my nexus s I'm told the epic touch isn't much better than a nexus s? I was also told its a pain to flash but could it be more than a pain than the epic 4g i used to have? Please your thoughts.

Ok its better than nexus.
Flashing is as easy as it can be if you follow word to word instructions and make sure you are on a safe kernel.
I would not trade my e4gt for any older phone. So.. I would get it. Its your decision in the end.

The epic touch is a damn good phone. I never had the Nexus S so I can't compare it but I will say I'm very happy with it. Its easy to flash and work with and gets decent battery life.

It's a better phone than the s but it's a hard time to recommend buying another phone. I don't think it's enough of an upgrade that I wouldn't wait a few months to see what's dropping for the holidays. What specifically aren't you happy about on the s?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
That I have to agree with. The new nexus will be dropping before long. Might want to wait and see what it is and such before using your upgrade.

I recommend the Epic 4G Touch. It's not 720p like some newer phones but the SAMOLED+ is amazing.
It's super snappy, plenty of RAM, enough built in memory, awesome camera.
IMO it is the iPhone killer.
Sent from my piece of crap Zio until i get my E4GT back from Samsung, using XDA Premium app
Epic 4g Touch is a great phone. My only gripes are that resolution could be a little larger for how big the screen is and the radio could be a little stronger (but part of that's sprints issues). I guess no lte either but that won't be available for a while anyways. But other than that its an awesome, correct me if I am wrong but I think it was the best phone on the market for a while. It may not be as fast as the latest and greatest phones but its good enough for me.
