Whats up everyone

I rooted one of them but I unrooted and locked the bootloader again. But when I went to sams club Tmobile the rep told me rooted or not if its a hardware problem like what I had they'll still do the exchange.

I was thinking after the first one to switch already but I really wanted the camera from the amaze. I'm a Photographer so it was hard but after taking a good hard look, the s2 didn't have that much of a difference. Plus when I finally did the switch, this phone was on sale for 88 bucks. I paid 188 for the amaze. So when I did switch I got money back because they had to honor the sale price. So I got a better phone for me and for 100 bucks back

The amaze is a nice phone, but i feel like htc rushed it and could have given it a better screen and battery life. I was a user for 2 months.

It seems all they're doing is vomiting phones to us and rushing these damn incomplete devices. The sensation had an amazing community but nothing to save it's hardware and battery problems. These stupid companies need to slow down and make something great. I'm an HTC fan and just waiting for them to make something nice that I can replace my Galaxy with. Sorry guys.

The only problem that HTC devices have imo is Sense. The G1 was great for the couple years I had it. Look at the G2!! Great phone because it's running vanilla Android.
Sense = Fail
Always syncing in the background, taking up resources, and bogging the phone down. ESPECIALLY on the Mytouch 3G slide (oh what a mess that phone is). Every time someone walks into my store with a MT3G slide i think, "oh boy here we go" lol
Even on the HD2 windows phone!! The solution we gave a lot of customers was to turn Sense off and it solved pretty much everyone's problems with that phone.

Lol couldn't agree more. Sense is definitely eye candy, but i end up removing most of the stuff with titanium backup. I enjoy some things from there but eh. Seems to me like the mt4g was the last quality phone by them. The one with the good display at least. I remember getting 4 hours display time with that bad boy and that was running sense. Glad we have tdj and rk from there lol

I hear ya haha. I used to hate WM6.5 sooo much and was super hyped when I found out android had been ported over. That phone was one of the best over ever had, si many customization option when it came to ROMs. They even have ICS already. I would have kept it had it not been for the catastrophic drop that ruined the display

It's got some nice additions, ie sdcard slot, kickstand, and larger battery, but it's definitely not as sexy.

No real point in upgrading to a sprint lte phone right now as there is no lte towers. You will be stuck with sprints slow 3g. Best to stick with the e4gt until the galaxy siii comes out.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

You are right. However in my house I have no 4G except upstairs window. When home just keep wifi on and use my own internet. Even 3G and calls iffy in house. Without my Airwave my phone would be a brick most of time. Hope so called Network Vision improves coverage. I have no idea when lte is turned on if that will be any better than my current wimax 4g.

Have you played with both phones at the same time. Also are you bored with your phone? These are reasons to upgrade and of course do YOU think its worth it to you to upgrade. I have seen I love Gnex threads and I returned my Gnex threads, at the end of the day its really your preference. Go to Best Buy and check them all out... Jus' My Opinion

or you could just search one of the other 40 threads about the exact same thing!

I made a thread about this the other day too because I have an upgrade so I went down to the sprint store and played with the Gnex and I dont know if there was something wrong with that one or what but it ran like ****! Force closes everywhere, could not get facial unlock to work. I just installed ICS Hydra rom on my E4GT and it runs SOOO much better than the Gnex. I also talked to a sprint employee and they said the E4GT is far superior. I wouldn't do it!

GS2 or EVO lte?

My wifes phone is broke(no insurance) and our contracts are up. She doesn't want to wait for the GS3 so...... EVO lte or GS2? I have the GS2 and love it but not to knowledgeable on the new EVO.
Sent from my iPhone eater

That's a really tough one. i really like the EVO LTE but i love my E4GT alot more. i honestly dont care for the gs3 much, but i havent played with it like i have the evo. i would deff stick with the gs2 but its all in personal preference. There all really good choices so either way your getting a sweet phone.

two great phone to choose from a friend has the evo lte and its fast I like my e4gt but I think i would recommend the evo lte just because your going to be with it two yrs. on contract maybe Pittsburg gets lte in the mean time.

And don't forget the insurance this time.

It is a close match but I don't regret not waiting for the EVO 4g LTE. I am very happy with the Epic 4g Touch

EVO 4G LTE. The only downside to that phone, IMO, is the locked bootloader. It's also almost future-proof with the LTE chip inside.

Does anyone know when Pittsburgh is up for lte?

I would agree with this especially if you have any type of spare phone you can use in the meantime. If not I know how hard it is without a phone so if ya cant wait go for the evo. I was at the sprint store the other day playing with it, and it really is a nice phone plus it has beats audio and a very good build quality.

I couldnt see buying a 4g phone when there are 4g LTE phones available. I just "bought up" in my Sprint contract to purchase either the S3 or the Evo LTE. Current plan is to sell my S2 and wait for the S3 to come out so that I can take her for a spin before I sign another 2 year...
As somebody else mentioned, either way she is getting a nice device.

I love every aspect of the EPIC 4G touch, but if I lived where 4Glte would be, I would snag up the Evo. I'm happy with my 3G speeds and bad ass hardware.
Good luck.

She got the evo lte because if she waits the world will implode if she doesn't have a phone. I know I'll be getting the S3 and she'll be *****ing how my phone is better, happens all the time. I just hope Pittsburgh gets lte in a reasonable time.

I have the EvoLTE and my wife is getting the SG3.. of course it hasn't even came to the house yet and she already wants to switch with me because of the physical camera button at the top.. Either way IDC.. I'm a big Sammy guy anyways.. But according to the reviews here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/3 your wife might just have the better phone.. I know the scores were pushed mostly bc the UI. But maybe that extra gig of ram might be to much wiggle room for the s4 and is causing the scores to drop a few points in these benchmarks.. Of course the multitasking should be better..

[Sprint] Comming from Evo 4G to SGS3? Get in here!

Sound off! Let's hope this community kicks as much butt as the OG did. Welcome.

LOL! Coming from 4 different 3d's in less than 6 months. Wasn't going to give HTC another chance after that.

Had the 4g for two years, the lte for 29 days and this here galaxy s III for eleven days I believe.
Sent from my SPRINT GALAXY S III

I remember when my Evo 4G was brand new almost 2 years ago. It was the thinnest phone I had used at that point. It was so fast and perfect at everything. Putting MIUI on it made it even better. I've had my GS3 for a week, and I can't believe how old my Evo 4G feels when I use it now.
Oh, well. On to bigger and better things.

I had the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D.
SGS3 is rooted a few days later from June 21. Now running Blazer rom and ICS Domination Theme.
Rom dev is kinda slow around here but this phone is not even a month old here in US. MYN is developing some Warm Roms for this phone.

When you go into these forums there's no way you can avoid thinking about these things. It's quite addictive. Rooted my phone even before custom roms were available. Lol.

Got my OG back in March of 2010, loved that phone, by far the best I ever had (hell just look at my name) , flashed a new rom on it weekly. The first week after getting my SG3 I am like...what evo?

I had my evo for 2 years and I still can't part from it when I got my s3. I'm going to make it my mp3 for my car. Lol
Yeah I'm still running stock with root on the s3. Just waiting on myn and his team
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I've been debating the switch, but I love the Sense dialer, HTC widgets, and the keyboard that has directional arrows. Playing with the GS3 at the store didn't impress me that much. I know it has far better specs, but the UI didn't grab me.

Am I the only that is still passionate about their OG? Its separation anxiety. I just got my S3. Can I ask you guys since I am already here, any of you guys worried about flash counter? I had my S3 for less then 4 hours and I am itching at the fact that I did not root it yet.

I too was worried on the 1st day, then was over it and rooted the next day. Threw on TB and Droidwall and froze a lot of the bloat. Ran really smooth. Personally, I knew I wasn't going to keep the phone stocked forever. Sooner or later, its going to get rooted. In regards to the what if I need to return, my personal experience returning rooted phone thru sprint rep over the phone is a whole lot ez'r than instore rep's.

Don't let the launcher/dialer/widgets/keyboard keep you from a great phone. All those things are fixable; you can download third party apps to replace them. Check out the Go launcher/dialer/contacts/widgets/keyboard. There are plenty of options out there besides Go, but it's a good place to start. Seriously, the phone kicks so much butt.

Might trade my iphone 4 for this phone.

Does it still have the crappy signal/gps issues? I had it earlier this year and it was frustrating, so just want to see how things have been since then with all the updates and such....

gps sucks. it takes a long time to connect. and i have this issue where the phone fails to connect to 3g when 4g disconnects. super annoying.
get the sgs3 or evo 4g lte.

Umm no. My phone does not have those problems. Running aokp stable 4 with fh13 modem

You guys are all saying its works fine and like a million other people are complaining when I googled it lol. I'm just bored with my iphone 4 and my sister took my evo 3d, So I need something to get my android fix with lol.... no upgrade til december.

Having played with a galaxy s3 in the mall, I'd say go with that. Read that section in the forum to see what issues there are. After going from a 4s to the e4gt, I miss the 4s camera and the better quality sounding audio output. I've had this one for nine months now and the screen burn in is getting on my nerves. Going to pen tile displays was samsung's choice for screen lasting longer and less apt to burning. I didn't notice a screen door effect on the s3 either. Even though the cameras are virtually the same, I can see how having a faster focus helps in certain situations with the s3. Its low light is noisy though like lots have mentioned.

Its the way things goes on in consumer world. More noise is created by people who's stuff is not working. I work for verizon fios and we only hear 5 to 10% customers call in to complain but some might come to wrong conclusion that fios always breaks. Thats how it is. I have had no issues with my e4gt. Love everything about it.
