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.

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.

Hey guys, I haven't seen some of these dev names in a while Toast, Damage, Ra ;-) Anyway, I'm replacing my Hero with an Evo in a few days just to get the upgrade. My question is: Since I've been working with the Hero for all this time, is the EVO pretty close? I've spent a few hours reading around and it looks pretty straight forward Better than the Epic which I really don't want to mess with. Looks like there's a questions out there too so I'll see if I can help when it comes in! Thanks guys.
And why is the "White" one so much cheaper? I'm gonna bundle it up like a football player anyway so does it really matter? Who doesn't wanna save some change?

Fairly straight forward. Use unrevoked for the 1 click root, then bam, backup then start flashing. All the roms are found in the development section; Personally I recommend CM7 with the Tiamat kernel.
Or wait a few months for evo 3d and less then that for nexus.

That's fantastic, thank you. I'm currently running 2.3.3 on my hero with Clockwork and it's working much better than it was months ago. There's still some buzz around that forum but it's pretty easy going. I didn't see anything about Firerat's around here....is there something like that or a need for it? The Evo has decent memory compared to my lil Hero lol.

Yea the 3D has the 2 cameras in the back for stereoscopic 3D [how your eyes work]. And honestly the 3D is the current evo, with dual core processing, a slightly better gpu, and a bit more memory internally; I personally think you'll be okay getting the Evo now.

The EVO 3D has a bit more punch - but I'm completely happy with my EVO 4G. I used the Unrevoked's 1 click method, it was brain dead simple. Installed the HTSync, uninstalled it - then installed the hboot drivers, ran the unrevoked app, and in a few moments, I was rooted - w/o having to touch a thing.
A bit more punch yes but I see there's overclocked kernels out there. Who's dominating that one? I'm definitely going to try a sense rom (yea I know) and CM7. I owe it to Fresh, Toast and Damage to see what they've come up with for the EVO after all the work on the Hero.
Sounds good then tomodachi...also myn makes great roms. I do hope you enjoy them.

Myn's warm 2.2 RLS5 is a great ROM, smooth as butter and easy on battery life. I keep trying new ROMS but always end up coming back to Myn's as my daily ROM. Everything works on it. Just my 2 cents worth.

Awesome, thanks for the feedback guys. It's nice to know I'm coming from AND going to a good forum. XDA is SUPER popular now! Brings the good and the bad though, I understand. I do my best not to answer dumb questions but some of these forums grow WAY too fast. The Epic forum is not friendly at all and it's keeping me from messing with the g/f's phone but you guys are great Thanks again and see you's all real soon. Hopefully by Tuesday.
The Evo is a year old. By the end of your contract it will be 3 and all of the devs will be long gone for newer phones.
Which sucks because the new phones coming out look like they're basically Evo's with dual processors. 3D isn't used widely enough to be worth caring about.
I got a 3D TV a few months ago and and yet to find some 3D porn.

Lol we have our fair share of grumpy people, but good on the whole. And thank you, welcome to the club.
I just realized I said "answer" but meant "ask" lol. This is why I don't mess with coding that much ;-) So, I got this "Ballistic Case" for the phone mostly because I have a "Bodyglove" for the Hero and I damn well know it'd be broken today without it. Yea, it'll make the phone a monster but it needs it. I'm in construction so it gets dropped every now and then. Is there anything else I should be thinking about before I put it to everyday use? Early adopters complained of battery life but I'm gonna assume that's been well addressed since then. Right now, I drop to about 55% on the Hero using CM7, current usage. I hope that circle battery mod I like so much is floating around here somewhere. I've got 20 gigs of Hero files LOL.

I think you took that post out of context. I don't think he was trying to be a ****.
I have tried a quite a few of them, none that work very good though. Droid DJ has the most potential, but it has problems running on the Evo (songs playing on one deck skip intermittently while a song is loading on the other deck). The developer has been trying to fix the problem, but he doesn't have an Evo to develop on, so it is going kind of slow. It doesn't do it as bad if you use a class 10 sd card, but it still does it.
Actually, regarding the comment above about getting laughed at, I disagree. My interest in it stems from a problem I had djing at a local club. One of the club clientele fell and hit the mixer rack that my dj equipment is on and knocked my laptop on the floor, breaking it up into about five pieces. Luckily, I had my turntables and cd decks to fall back on and was able to finish out the gig without anyone knowing the difference. I was also able to use my phone to mix some new stuff off of my sd card in to the mix with the cd's and lp's I had brought with me. Like most modern dj's, all of my newest music is on computer now days (turntables are just used with the computer with time code albums), so it would be handy to have a copy of my playlist on my phones sd card as a backup (which I do). And one of the few things I don't have a backup for in my dj rack is the mixer, if it died I would be stuck playing one song at a time. So, if I had a decent mixing app, and something like this happened again, I could mix right from my phone and it could save the day in a pinch.
Sounds like you need to play in better clubs lol. I've never spun somewhere where I had to bring my own equipment and they didn't have everything I could ask for set up in a way that someone won't knock it over....

True, but if you saw this clubs equipment you would probably bring your own too. LOL
Actually, my operation is kind of a niche thing. The reason we get jobs is because of my equipment. When we do our show we supply everything from the sound system to the diesel generator to run it. All we use at the venue is floor space, we even have our own stage, but in this club their wasn't enough room for it. Actually, most of our venues are either outside or in large warehouses, doing clubs is pretty rare for us.
About a year ago I ordered this very phone I have in my hands. It showed up like a month later, but still.
The smartphone market is moving exponentially, and our options are smashing through the roof and amazing us monthly.
With all this in mind, what do you think you'll end up doing with your Incredible when you decide to upgrade? Hand it down? Sell it? Keep it as a spare? Not upgrade at all until its 100% useless?
If times are hard, I am gonna sell it for whatever its worth to put toward a new phone. With superphones hitting the 300 dollar mark, I can't justify not selling it. If I have the cash though, ill just keep it as a developer phone. I also have an idea for a custom interface for my car.

well im locked in till march of 2012 so Ill probably wait to till the summer of 2012 to make a choice on an upgrade. I want a 4g phone bigger screen like the thunderbolt and a daul core or possible quad core by then. If I had an upgrade to use now I'd get the thunderbolt bc its everything I want except for the dual core. I have a big decision to make in the summer though bc my family and I might switch to another carrier. I love Verizon customer service but Im paying $350 a month for six lines and only 3 lines are smart phones. But if I stay then I'll keep the Dinc in case I dont like my new phone and have to trade it away. lol
I think I'll keep my DInc as a dev phone, or to mess around with whatever ROMs are still available. I am locked in until March 2012 myself, but I may upgrade sooner, depending on desire/finances.

That's easy. I use Google Voice, so it's going to stay in the apt connected to wifi and that will then become my "home phone". Conveniently both phones will have the same phone number....

Now that the typical two year cycle is coming to a close for most of us Evo owners, I'm curious as to what you are going to do with it. I've thought about trading it in or selling it, but it has got to be one of my favorite gadgets/pieces of tech of all time. I don't think I'm ready to let go! Here's a few ideas I've had...
1-Wipe all the info off it, download GrooveIP, and give it to my daughter as a VOIP exclusive phone.
2-Do the same as above, but use it as a "home" phone.
3-Turn it into a media/gaming center (saw this on lifehacker the other day, great idea, here's the link: http://lifehacker.com/5915083/how-to-turn-your-android-into-an-awesome-portable-media-and-gaming-center
4-Finally figure out how to compile ROMs and test them on it.
5-Use it as a standalone GPS unit.
6-Turn it into a portable web server.
Any other ideas out there?
sell it on craigslist, and move on with good memories.
Keep it I still love my EVO and I am not ready to move on.
I stupidly traded mine in when I got my 3D. I still have all my original Sprint phones /except/ the best one ever. So I went on eBay last night and bought one, just to keep as a WiFi-only placeholder for the one that got away.

Run Deck's Reloaded and sit on my upgrade. Compared to the new phones, OUR EVO still pulls it wait. Also, no phone from Sprint has made the EVO obsolete . . . . . . . . . . yet.
I love my Evo, it does everything I need and more. I'll probably have it for another two years.
i'm just gonna keep it for now... the lte pisses me off. i would have gotten it if it wasn't for the battery. i guess i'm gonna wait til something interests me... but so far, until it breaks i'm gonna keep it
I usually post over in the Epic Touch forums as that is my main phone but recently I reclaimed my OG EVO from my ex (he bought an E4GT from me) and I had almost forgot how much I loved the phone. Don't get me wrong I seriously love my E4GT but it's nice to have my EVO back.
When I used it, before giving it to the ex, I knew nothing about rooting and so when the 3D came out I made the ultimate mistake of picking it up and getting rid of the OG EVO, a move I regretted on a daily basis. lol
Now that I have it back I want to do all the things with it I didn't before, like root, try out custom ROMs, etc. Just have to find a good starting place (okay rooting my Epic is like way simple, the root instructions I've found for the EVO seem a little confusing).
Anyway, this really is one of Sprint's best phones and now I can say I have both of Sprint's best phones.
using groove ip to turn it into a pure google voice phone
When I upgrade ill keep it and use it as a wifi media player type device. Plus Google maps is going to have maps offline so it would also make a good stand alone GPS.

I handed it off to the wifey so she can learn to use Android now instead of the Blackerry's that she has been using forever now.
I am messing around with the Epic 4G Touch now until LTE comes out and then I will get an LTE phone and the wife can have the E4GT or keep the Evo.
I've ordered my Galaxy S III already. I will either unroot / stock rom / CM7 the phone and give it to my dad. He's currently using an optimus S and hates it.

On another note, I finally got my LTEvo yesterday, and the first two calls I had dropped. It might have been because I was out on the field coaching in a lower coverage area, but my OG NEVER once dropped a call.
I'm gonna cover it with honey and make sweet love to it.

Depending on what firmware is in your ogevo is what makes it difficult or not, if your on 2.3.3 use revolutionary its really simple. If your on the latest which is 2.3.5 I believe, you have to HTC dev unlock bleh, or use tacoroot downgrade, flash the Eng boot loader, then upgrade to a 2.3.3 stock rom, then use revolutionary. Or at least that's what I did with mine. Its actually not as hard as you think if you follow the guides on the net :-D I could possibly help you if you need it, just throw me a pm
