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.
From the HTC Evo!!

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.

What will you retire your DInc for?

So idk how many of you are like me and follow popular android blogs like Droid-life or Android Central, but lately there has been a crazy amount of discussion about all these new super phones that are coming out in the next few months. And also if you are like me, then your contract is going to be up around the holiday season or a little after because that is 20 months after our phone was released.
I am just trying to get a little discussion going about what you think your next phone will be, you can answer my poll and/or just talk about what you are looking for in your next phone. Going for a 4.3in screen? Is 4.5in too big? Must be LTE? Needs HD (720p+) screen? Sticking with HTC? Liking the idea of Google/Moto merger? Ice Cream Sandwich or nothing? Will the next Nexus phone come to Verizon? These are just some of the questions that I am curious about and I'm sure that others are too. Happy discussion!

I love htc phones, dont ask me why. I also love sense, so sonething dual core, 4g capable, sense 3.0 or whatever is newest. Rootable. Has to be verizon, right now i wouldnt change.
If ive helped you, please hit the damn thanks button!

I came from the Eris (got my Inc on eBay), so my contract is actually up next week. I'm probably going to get the Vigor if it has everything that is rumored and actually comes out close to that date. I don't want wait til next year.

Already jumped that boat and I'm happy.

DROID 3 lol

The mythical DInc 3 that's rooted already. It's got 16 cores with 4 GB memory, battery never needs changing cause it's powered by love.
EDIT: Seriously, I don't know. Verizon doesn't get great reception where I'm moving, so USCC is gonna be my next carrier. I heard they're coming with 8 phones and possible LTE by fall sometime, so I'm in a holding pattern, but the Inc rocks, no hurry.

Sign me up for a box of these lol! I am usually an HTC man myself, but I think my next phone is going to be moto (unless the Nexus ACTUALLY comes to Verizon). I know I'll probably get some **** for this, but I actually like the new Blur. My biggest problem with HTC is the dock on their phones: it only has 3 spaces, you can't change what they are, and one is wasted on the "personalize" menu which there are like 3 other ways to get to. New Blur lets you customize 3 dock spaces and it just seems more functional. But time will tell.

You can use an alternate launcher or custom rom, unless you're really attatched to sense widgets. I just don't think I'd select a phone based on the manufacturer skin's dock.
I'm intrigued by the possibility of the nexus coming to Verizon but I'm not getting my hopes up. At this point, what's important to me for my next phone to have is LTE, nice screen (preferably SAMOLED), and CM7/MIUI support (this would imply an unlockable bootloader). I wouldn't personally be one to buy a phone first day, I'd prefer to wait and see what issues it has and what the development community is like.

Probably Nexus Prime.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I have been an avid launcher pro user for almost a year. But I would love to be able to just use to stock launcher and just about any one would be usable for me besides sense. And yes being able to unlock it is extremely important to me too, so new HTC phones are looking good for that reason. I am hoping that the Droid HD will follow in the footsteps of the OG.

We can only hope so, if that comes to Verizon it will be a glorious day.

Whatever has an AMOLED screen. Its looking like it'll be a Nokia ClearBlack running WP7 or some sort of Samsung Nexus kinda thing. I will certainly miss HTC though when I go!
I know the SLCD's aren't THAT different, but everyone is nitpicky about something and the ever so slight difference just happens to be something that gets to me horribly. I have been intrigued by WP7 for a long time anyways, and I'm sure it will be even more polished by the time I'm ready to peace out the Dinc.
Sense is awesome, and most (non-dev everyday) people I know who have a post-Nexus One HTC phone are in love with it, while there seems to be a large amount of "how come mine doesn't have that" coming from (non-dev everyday) people with other Android devices. I figure the positive feedback I see with WP7 and Nokias recent hardware will give me a solid alternative in 10 months when its time to upgrade.

You can't install any launcher on a Sense ROM. And ADW can kiss my ass for 6 or 7 bucks to do a fraction of what Sense does. I'd suggest hunting down one of the patches that allows you to remap those dock buttons. Something like Myn's Rosie or use a rom that remaps them. I thought pretty much all custom Sense ROMs allowed remapping of 2, if not all the buttons.

US Cellular? I'm not sure how much of what they say I'd believe. For those who don't know, they're a CDMA carrier which has strongholds in Chicago and many areas of West Virginia.
Not too terribly long ago before the introduction of EVDO Rev.A, USC operated a CDMA network that both Alltel and Verizon used under an interoperability agreement. The problem was US Cellular didn't use standard 1xRTT or EVDO and Alltel and Verizon devices couldn't authenticate on their network. They were possibly THE LAST adopter of EVDO Rev.0 and as of last year still hadn't fully deployed EVDO Rev.A across their network. It was only in the last year and half they got their network compliant with the standards Alltel and Verizon use across IL, and still their coverage is horrible.
In short, I'd be pretty skeptical about any claims they make about LTE until I actually saw proof.

Nokia - Windows Phone. That is assuming Big Red gets a high end one (latest net rumors say they are). Who knows.
If they don't and there is no talk of it coming... I may look into the Nexus Prime if it's on Verizon. Like somebody else said, It's got to be AMOLED.
If it isn't.... I'll be checking out Sprint.

Nothing worth changing for yet

I love HTC and Sense but I voted for the Samsung Galaxy SII.
However, in reality, I will probably go for the phone that has the best battery life be that a Samsung or an HTC phone - I'm not wild about Motorola phones.
I am so tired of the crappy battery life on my DInc.

I'm still not sure which phone I'm going to go for, I could upgrade at any moment but I think I'm going to wait. I originally had an OG droid and I loved the sturdyness of Moto's build quality, but I love the lightness and the look of sense on the Incredible.
One thing is for sure I need 4G, at least dual core, 1GB+ RAM, still haven't decided on screen size yet (at least 4"+).
I think I'm going to wait until ICS drops since I'm already in debt up to my earlobes :lol: Buying the Transformer didn't help that.

[Q] Will Epic 4G Touch get a Sense ROM?

I'm torn between three upgrade options: Getting an Evo 3D, getting an E4GT, or staying with my old Hero until something new comes out. I'm a big fan of HTC Sense, especially the latest version. I dislike TouchWiz. A lot.
What I'd like to know is, in the opinions of those who own an E4GT and are more familiar with the rooting scene, or who owned an original SGS, do you think there will be a working Sense ROM put out for the Epic Touch?
I realize your opinions are not prophetic, I just want your opinion; I do know how to use search, and I did, but getting knowledgeable people's forecasts based on their experiences with other non-Sense phones, and whether they got Sense ROMs/how long it took seems like a good idea. I'm hoping it will help others as well.
Please don't give answers like "Use LauncherPro! it's gr8!". Stick to answering the question if at all possible.
TIA!

In short, no. HTC owns Sense.
.....

Supposedly some one in the gs2 or nexus s forum was trying to port a sense rom but don't know id they ever got most things working..sense is much harder to port to non htc phone ...

I'll feel ya, I too was a major sense fanboy! I LOVED sense!! I've had EVERY Sprint phone that had sense. I decided it was time for a change from HTC,and I will tell you I'm NOT looking back and DON'T regret it ONE BIT! This phone is simply AMAZING!!!

This phone will never see a functional sense rom unless HTC releases their source code, which will not happen. I also do believe no phone has had a functional Sense ROM that wasn't an HTC device.

Thanks for all the replies - not quite used to such an active forum, the Hero is dying
I have seen partially functioning Sense ROMs on a few phones, like the original Epic. I'm wasn't entirely sure how much they had functioning - apparently not a lot.
As far as Touchwiz goes, I have heard/seen that the version on the Epic Touch is much better than before. In the past, I didn't like the simplistic style, the color scheme (especially the notifications bar), and the functionality. It would seem that this version, with all its benefits, might make it more worthwhile than AOSP. However, I still love Sense - its elegance combined with its ease of use, with (best of all) the added functionality (the dialer, the contact linking, the widgets - all beautiful yet extra-functional).
For that reason, I'm thinking of going to the Evo 3D. Any serious reason not to? I just don't see the sense (excuse the pun) in limiting my ROM options.

I would say just go play with both of them for about an hour .... I have both and my 6 yo son loves my 3d its his angry birds and other games boy ..... Ha ha ..... I would love the devs over there to come to this phone but we are getting cyanogen so I won't really care

I like sense... but I know HTC owns that. I am not a fan of touch wiz really.
I don't like the process to merge contacts. My EVO 3D did an amazing job and matching them and letting me merge all of them at one.
I HATE the phone app. Making a call take to many steps, and when you are on a call and exit to the home screen, the process of getting back to the active call is a pain. The drop down menu is not always responsive. I can't tell you how many times I have left a voice mail for someone and left 8 seconds of dead air on it at the end trying to get the phone app you open again JUST so I could end a call.

The process to make a call is very simple.
1. Open Contacts
2. Locate Contact
3. Swipe from left to right on contact
4. BAM you made a call

But it doesn't look as pretty...
Making the call is not really the issue, it's gong back to the call in progress when you are on it that is not as easy as it should be.

Back when i was on the captivate, there were rumors that some dev was trying to port sense. never happened that i know of. i use adw. i've used launcher pro, but adw works better for me. honestly the only thing i didnt like about the new touchwiz was that you can't do landscape on the homescreen. the biggest reasons i went for the e4gt were the screen and the speed. the e4gt kicks the pants off the evo 3d in both categories. the screen is by far the best screen i've seen. phone or otherwise. and its speedy enough i havent bothered to root and rom. which is weird considering my cappy was rooted 4 hrs out of the box and rommed after 8. and my cappy was my first android phone. if your into pretty, i would suggest the e4gt. my coworkers have the evo 3d. with adw and a couple of themes, my phone is much nicer looking. as for the dialer and contacts list, i think there are a couple of replacement ones. i use chomp for my sms. it has the neat little motion controlls that sense does. lockscreen kinda sucks compared to the new sense. but eh, you win some you lose some. hope i helped!

Who actually likes this phone?

I mean, common, with all the people asking if they should get an iphone or this, or what's better, this or the nexus, or all that other crap, am I the only one who realizes the absolute potential of this phone and how it pwns (excuse the crude terminology xD) basicly every other device out there including the crackberries and isucks, like just today I got about two hours total talk time, bout 5 hours online, wifi on for about 4 hours, bout 5 hours music through bluetooth and bout two through 3.5mm (damn thing lasted longer then my s10-HD), Data/gps and bluetooth on all day and going on 15hours uptime with 22% left on battery.
It performs extremely quick, compatible with basicly everything droid and ahead of the current market including the new nexus in specs, what's to question? The fact that carriers are being slow to release an update?
We already know that itl be comming fully touchcrapped out, and most people on this forums definitely aren't experienced enough to lay their hands on a system file let alone build a rom and will have to wait till someone releases a AOSP style build, with that being said, we don't need the carriers, only the drivers, then we can port what we need, so, why all the complaining, I say simply, if if you question the purchase, go for the alternitave, you probably couldn't handle the device properly anyways.
Opinions? And keep it clean, believe it or not, I'm actually going for a "healthy" discussion xD

I choose this one.

Love the phone, I get bored pretty easily but have had this phone for a while now. Maybe it's the wait to see what ROMs come out of it (knowing Eugene is working on cm7 is great). Maybe it's just that there really isn't anything better at the moment for me.
Also as far as I know, Telus never got the white SII X

It's got the best hardware of any current phone (except the Skyrocket, and that's the same phone for all intents and purposes since I'm not on AT&T).
Only thing I miss from it is AOSP ROMs, but that's just software, and those will come in time.
Nice to see some positiveness on this forum.

I think this phone hulk smashs every phone out there and can only imagine how much fasrer it will be when we do get ics and use the processor to its full potential coupled with true hw accelaration. I cant wait

Couple screenies....i think this is my new setup for awhile
Heres lockscreen and home screen

if ur on tmobil, this device gives you the best overall performance/network experience.
the original sgs2 has.better hardware but cant do dual band hspa+ 42mbps.

I agree with everything in the OP, to be honest, I had issues with GB and bugs on my other devices like my G2x (major issues on that, didn't wanna root it cause the dual core was pretty awesome but still did because of the ****ty stock rom). But ever since I switched to my SGS2, although being different from the original, no update to ICS in sight anytime soon, I'm least bothered by it, this is probably the most complete and bugless stock rom I've had on any device, I don't mind touch wiz one bit, know others don't like it but it's cool by me, there is a few things I wish I could change on it but ey it works, it's smooth and all the neat little features are actually pretty sweet. I actually use the default apps for just about everything, the response and performance is awesome compared to my previous phones (G2x response was pretty nice too btw just crappy bugs), only thing I had an issue with is my gps signal being lost at times or taking a while to lock on, but I kinda figured out why since it only happens in certain areas where I live, other than that, I'm pleased and loving my phone, not in much of a hurry for ICS since I can do everything I need to on the current system software and data speeds are awesome and the camera takes beautiful pics, what more could I ask for?
(Wish we had a little more support on accessories though, like cases and stuff like iPhones do, I have about 10 cases to choose from, most being plain, they have a bloody wall full of 'em in all designs and patterns you could think of, unfair much? Lol)

Calling all devs.....

Please i would love a "sense 4.0 rom" on this phone or a really good theme,i would donate a small fortune for this,please calling all devs calling all devs.....................

Gingerbread MIUI has a pretty decent sense theme. You could always run that, and supplement a different launcher. Just a suggestion for the time being =]

....I have seen this thread before in another forum. It turned into a very elaborate and very dramatic disaster.
I don't know if it has ever been accomplished...I do remember that is has been run on other phones, but, I don't think it's ever been terribly stable though.
Did I mention the drama?

I can help I was the dev that originally ported sense 4 to the nexus s and nexus s 4g.. I've been thinking of trying to port sense 2.1/3.5/4.0 to the e4gt, but im kinda hesitant because you guys seem to have a huge amount of bricks hahah...

if you want sense, buy an htc phone.

*grabbing popcorn*
I don't like sense but I am very curious...

I should have inb4'd this. I used to get the same thing when I had an HTC and wanted to get rid of sense. "Don't like sense don't get an HTC"....but....The Evo4G was the best phone at the time. Now the ET4G is the best phone. Don't buy into their crap--you are buying hardware...software is flexible.
Of course if you don't want to hack your phone, well, buy whatever software you are looking for...just pray that it runs on the hardware that you want.
...but we are on XDA, so, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of us see this as a computing device and not a branded software experience. It can have whatever software experience someone can get to run on it.
"Want [MIUI/CM]? Buy a phone that comes with [MIUI/CM]"
Note how stupid that sounds.

It sounds stupid because not one hardware company ships there phone with that OS.. Considering he wants a sense experience then he should get a sense phone. Maybe he should get a windows phone next and we can talk about how we can port sense to that phone as well.

What I don't get is why people get so edgy when people ask about ports.. In my case, I dont have enough money to go out and buy a brand new phone just so I can run its UI, which is why I port them to the nexus s.. Nothing wrong with that. Running htc's awesome sense 4.0 on samsung devices = not spending money on new htc phone = PROFIT
I do these ports for fun, I could care less who hates sense or what other users want.. I want to see sense on the epic touch, just because.

I actually wouldn't mind giving sense 4.0 a spin I know it would make people's heads spin who have HTC phones lol

That's not true. Devs brick all the time....part of the development process.

I am confused why you didn't buy an evo3d if you wanted a sense phone on sprint.

I like this guy's enthusiasm, I too wouldn't mind seeing more diversity in the roms that users can run on their e4gt. Maybe once there is a stable AOSP base sense can be ported over.

It all boils down to what a dev is willing to do and share with us. Be it sense,aosp or a hacked touchwiz. It all equals variety. And for flash happy people that want something new and different. That's a great thing. If someone is willing to put in the time and effort to bring a sense rom to this phone I say hell yeah and thanks. Even though I may never run it myself there is going to be some that do and are extremely grateful.

Id love to see sense on this phone... I owned the evo 3d and they always said it lagged because of sense not because poor hardware.... I bet this phone would run it flawlessly!

Would love to see sense ported over also. Why not right?
More variety, more options. Not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned.

Perhaps because the evo3d is a ****e phone. Perhaps because the screen is better on et4g. Etc? Etc.
This phone is amazing. Software is ephemera. I've played with MIUI, aosp (gb/ics), cm9/variants, i'd flash windows phone if there was one. I love ports. I love OPTIONS. As far as I can tell, that's what XDA is ABOUT.
