[Q] just coming from hd2 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just came from an hd2 I've got 30 days to decide if I wanna keep this EVO has anybody else came from an hd2 to an EVO and if so do you have any regrets

your not going to have any regrets whats so ever. OG evo is hands down one of the best phones that I have had in my position. It has been around long enough that there are plenty of roms to play with as well as a great community of people to bounce questions off of.
Have you rooted your evo yet?? that is when the fun really begins.

Evo 4g is probably one of the best phones out there, but i would recommend getting the Evo 3d , I own both and you will see more progress in the next 2 years with the 3d instead of the Evo 4G (lets face it is a year old and love the phone but for a newcomer the 3D will be a bttee choice)
Btw I own the Evo 4g since say one and the Evo 3D as well

The only reason you might regret it, is if you were booting to WinMo, or WP7. You won't have that ability anymore, but I would say you will be just as happy with the level of development going on with the Evo.

I didn't come from an hd2 but I can tell you the EVO 4G is hands down THE best smartphone. After I got it my computer laid dormant for 6 months. And now that I've recently rooted the sky is the limit. Props to XDA and all the people that post, help, and reply. I've learned a ton in just a short time. Have fun with your EVO. I know I am.

Coming from an old and trusty Hero!

I made the jump today and ordered the Epic 4G Touch. I plan on immediately rooting and getting started with the fun! Anyone else come from a Hero and what are your thoughts? I loved AOSP on the Hero so hopefully there will be some good roms like his over here
Wow that is a huge jump in terms of hardware. Lol

Yea, it was either the Epic or an iphone and there's no freakin way i'm leaving Android.
I came from the Hero. This phone works so well I haven't even bothered rooting it yet, but that will all change once ICS is out.

[Q] evo or evo3d

I got an evo 4g hw 004. my friend has an evo 3d but she doesnt like it and wants a regular evo 4g. she offered to trade straight up, just switch numbers between the phones. although the evo 3d is superior in specs, what would you do? keep the 4g or go to the 3d?
Dev is a lil slow on the 3D right now especially for AOSP, & for some strange reason every custom kernel that's available for the 3D causes random soft reboots & sleep of deaths (except for AOSP kernels, they been flawless). If you're a Sense user like me, go for it, Warm 2.3 & viperROM are the best Sense ROM's over there IMO, plus the much better specs of the 3D over the EVO are a plus, but if you're strictly a AOSP user, then stay where you are, EVO has much more stable AOSP ROM's at the moment than the 3D does.

Yeah I was looking at the dev on the 3D and it doesn't compare to the OG as of now. I like Sense, but I also love running some AOSP too. I am always nandroid restoring between a sense and the latest ICS build for the OG. Just something about that smooth, snappy feel of pure AOSP that I like lol. Hopefully, the 3D will get an ICS port, if one isn't already available, that is equal to at least what deck is doing for the OG. If that happens, then I will for sure switch so at least I am running AOSP on similar specs to the Galaxy Nexus. Thanks for the input!
The e3d is good, and fast. My dad has the 3d and I have the 4g, but I prefer the 4g. Feels like it has a wider screen to me, wich I like . And theres a ton of stuff in the dev section..

i dont see how this is even something to consider. sprend a month with a evo3d and u will know that u cant compare the two.
dev support moght be slow for the evo3d now but it will be gone for ever for the evo 4g.
i recently switched back to a 4g because of money issues and a ev4g+ $250 helped with christmas. i will be goimg back asap.

Yeah 4G has a wider screen, 3D screen sacrificed width for length to accomodate the higher screen resolution on the 3D

Take the 3d . Imo sense is super fast on the 3d . And in a month or two the roms will pick up. My wife has the 4g and its still a beast , but for the long haul the 3d would be better.

Had a evo for over a year and my wife still has hers. I recently upgraded to the 3 d model, via legitimate insurance claim.
No comparison. The 3d Is so much smoother, love the clarity of the screen, and the extra ram comes in handy.

I have the HTC EVO 4G and if you're okay with the 5MB pictures on the 3D, I'd definitely switch. I belive the 3D has more internal memory and it has the dual core processor as well.

Dose anyone else get annoyed with this?

Maybe this is just me venting but im so tired of people with an evo 3d talkin crap about the gs2. Me and my girlfriend both bought the 3d on launch day and it was ok at first but as soon as i saw the white epic we both dumped the evos. The galaxy screen is bigger and brighter. Way clearer. The battery last twice as long. The phone its self is faster with no lag at all. And to me the main difference is the camera. The camera is 100 times better then that ****ty evo camera. People defend the evo i think bc they have no upgrade but want the gs2 so they live in denial lol. The evo 3d cost as much as the original evo now (49$) and it hasnt even been a year yet. If you have a 3d do yourself a favor....sell it on craigslist then buy your self an epic off craigslist. Mite cost you 200 bucks when said in done. If not please come to grip with the fact the 3d is nowhere near as good as the gs2

If your thread title is a question it belongs in the Q and A section.
Why didn't you just post this in the Evo 3d section then? Although Ranting in a public forum probably isn't going to get you far. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

i think it's more about getting sympathy and a sense of commuinty from here.
I never had evo 3d.. but could care less about what they say. yea there will always be haters.
Htc has a big following.... I'm not going to say they are similar to apple fans but people that started with Htc and loved it they have stuck with them. Out of all software skins avaliable from device manufactures I must say sence has been the best. Also rooting with that phone and other software stuff has been easier with the HTC evo line of phones.

It not animosity I'm just making a point.... On my evo I never had to flash 10 kernels, 3 different recoveries and use Odin just to flash 1rom. I am in no way shape or form hating on this phone because this has been the best phone I've ever owned but I'm saying that the evo was waaaaaay more easy to mess with

I have seen this one too many times and I am gonna go ahead and close this thread right here for a few reasons:
1. It simply opens the floor for flaming in large magnitudes;
2. It is not in the right section (should actually be in OT rather than here);
3. There is no point to this other than you venting.
Sorry but thread closed.

EVO Design vs sg2

Anyone have both or have used both? I'm debating on which one to get. I can get a used sg2 for 200 or a evo design for 300. If I get the sg2 I'm flashing it to boost. But the design just came out and it's 300
Sent from my SPH-M930BST using XDA
Are you sure the evo design cause thats been out a while the evo lte is the most recent release between the sg2 and evo design definitely the sg2. If you meant the evo 4g lte not sure boost is getting lte service anytime soon thought they were going wimax. Seems a waste to me just my 2 cents.
Evo design is mid tier, like the conquer. Gs2 hands down.
Evo design is single core, but it does GSM for outside the US. GS2 is a damn speed demon (I've owned one) and it's as fast as the newer quad core phones. It will chew up and spit out anything you throw at it. Not to mention it has an amazing camera.
My girl friend has the evo design don't get that phone.

Evo Design is even worse than the Evo3D! Don't do it. You're saving a few bucks going with the GS2 and a few headaches too..

Evo Design is a new 4g wimax phone for Boost. Epic Touch(GS2) is by far the better phone. I have mine flashed to boost and it works great!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
My wife has the design, and it's a decent phone-IF, you don't want to do a whole lot to it as there's not much of a community supporting it. Plus with the gs2 being $100 less, shoot it's a no-brainer!

Yeah true. I'm planning on getting it flashed to boost. I have the Samsung transform ultra now and a epic 4g.

S2 wins no doubt.
I've had both. I had the Evo Design for 3 weeks and decided to add another line for my daughter. Guess who got the Design and who got the SG2? Give you a hint....my daughter was pis** ed
I currently have both of these phones. Don't ask why, I just do. I got the Evo Design because it was free at the time when I started my contract and I didn't know a lot about phones at the time. The Evo is a good phone for a lower level device, it has a pretty nice and bright screen and I like HTC sense interface better than touchwizz. HOWEVER, I am a recruiter so I do alot of work on my phone on the go. The design could not keep up with the speed I needed as well as the screen size was crippling, but the touch excels in both of those categories by far. I got tired of the small screen and the lagginess of the evo, it felt outdated the second I got it so after two months I went to the sprint store looking for something better. I asked the guy what the best phone he had was and he took me straight to the epic 4g touch. I played with it and fell in love. The screen is huge compared to the design and the dual core processor makes it stupid fast compared to the design. The camera is better, the screen is bigger and more sharp, more applications are supported on it, the battery lasts longer and there is SO MUCH MORE developer support for the epic 4g touch as well. I don't think the design even has it's own section here. Hands down between the two mentioned, the epic 4g touch is a WAY better option for the money. If there are any other questions, feel free to ask.

I gave up, I saw that the HERO S is basically the same phone, but all of the threads I found on rooting were sketchy and complicated. Nothing like the "oneclicks" over here. My design stays off in a drawer unused. I use it every once in a while for giggles but that only lasts a few minutes until I have withdraws and start twitching for my touch.
Yeah, same story here...plus I don't understand sense for the life of me-locked bootloaders? S-off? It's all too confusing.

Hands down sg2. I'm not a fan of touchwiz, but this has been the best phone I've ever had. I'm currently debating between the evo lte and the sg3.

We Have People From Everywhere! Which Community Did You Come From?

I see around everywhere people saying "oh I remember you from example! Where you been?"
So my question to you is, which community did you come from? Epic Touch 4G? OG Evo? Evo LTE? Tell me below!
As for me, I started as a lurker when I got my Evo Shift. (My first post is when I actually softed bricked my shift while rooting because I had no clue what I was doing! Ha!) Over time I got a little involved there. Then I got an OG Evo 4G, and helped and learned a lot there. Now I am here with you guys (and girls?) on the Sprint Galaxy S3!
