Who is or isn't returning their EVO?

I'm reading a lot of complaints about the EVO. But how many of you are returning it before the month is up.
As for me I had the HTC Mogul then the HTC Touch Pro2. Still love my Touch Pro2 but i'm going to sell it.
The EVO is the first android i ever had, the best phone i ever had. I'm keeping mine.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G using XDA App at 3:36am. Sorry for the miss spelled word

I plan on keeping mine, after I get a good unit lol

I am keeping mine too. I love my rooted EVO specially using the tether app

I'm probably gonna replace mine.
Screen separation and a stuck pixel.
Return? Never unless the 30fps issues arent resolved.

I'm loving it. I'm unrooted and still love it. I don't plan on rooting until theirs a much easier, less involved rooting method. Also depends on when FroYo is expected to come out. I'm patient.

being rooted im sure every issue that is out is going to be resolved with the devs we have at xda minus the screen seperation which im not one of the unlucky ones.. im loving this phone, before having this phone the one thing i wasnt too fond of was the size of this badboy after actually playing with it now the size is one of my favorite things about it.. never thought id be one to have such a huge phone but when im messing with my wife hero im like "no way, too small for me" to think i used to think she had a big phone.. funny how things change, but im hanging on to this and am actually getting my wife one as well... luvinit

I love my EVO but I am a little salty that we got 440MB of internal memory and the droid X has 8 GBs. There's no way I am paying Verizon's prices.
I am keeping my EVO 4G being that the only competition is the DroidX and well...I get verizon's network without Verizon's prices on my EVO.

I still don't get how HTC thinks supplying such paltry amounts in a flagship product paired with 2.1 is a wonderful fit. They also supplied the EVO with a 16-bit screen so cost criteria is always at play..
I wonder how HTC-OEMs will step up their game now that the iPhone 4 is out but I think just bringing 2.2 will help a lot in the interim.

No way! This phone has been amazing so far, no issues whatsoever

I'm actually thinking about returning mine for the X. The big choice was between sprint and vzw and vzw only seems about $10 more per month for a much nicer phone.

"Their" not "There"
sorry had to fix that.
and no i'm not returning my evo, I would if sprint was coming out with a better phone but since the droidx isn't sprint no thanks.

I'm keeping my evo, because something new and faster always comes along, except with sprint, I can upgrade every year vs every 2 with verizon. Have fun with your droid x when I have my evo 2 in hand next year

I'm considering it. Both the Droid X and the Epic 4g are looking better in some areas that matter to me. The big thing that may keep me with the Evo is the user community that HTC has. I understand that the Motorola and Samsung dev group is growing but it is nowhere near as big as XDA. And since I like tweaking and improving stuff, that's important to me.
edit: Oh, and please edit the title. The "there" instead of "their" is driving me crazy. If this was an international phone, I would excuse it, but it's not. We're all Americans here and we all should know the difference between those two words.

I love the EVO!! I do have the screen seperation issue, but on a list for a new one at the shack that they say I should have this weekend. Other then that I couldnt see my self using anything else!!!

actually, I'm told that verizon is 12 month upgrades on plans over $45/month? something like that? Can anyone verify?

I'm keeping mine. I may or may not get a Samsung Epic. I need to hold one in my hands first.

posting this again since no one has seen it evidently, but:
I called VZW and on any voice plan $59 or more/month, you get 12 month phone upgrades. So this is no longer a selling point in sprint's favor (there are others anyway, but this was the big one for me).
I'm almost 100% sure I'm taking my evo back this weekend.

I'm keeping mine. It's been working great!

[Q] Moving on from the EVO 4g?

What is everyone looking at as an upgrade? or is there anything even worth considering currently?

Epic touch 4g, phone is straight beast

Nothing compelling to me. I am sticking where I am.

I'm cancelling Sprint at the end of this month. In a few months I'll probably buy a Sprint Samsung Gravity S2 from ebay, root it, and port it to Boost mobile.

I'm not upgrading until HTC releases a phone with ics and lte.

Got a photon and epic touch to play with, probably gonna keep the epic touch though and sell the photon. I love my EVO but I feel like its limits have almost been pushed to the max when it comes to sense roms. 3.0 is nice, but lag and lack of RAM are a major downer. Haven't had a chance to try 3.5, and I probably won't unless they somehow get 4g

I'm still waiting for something perfect to come along to make me give up on my Evo. There are features from the 3VO, Photon, and the ET4G that I wish I could combine into a super phone. Evo ain't broke, so don't fix it or get locked into another contract yet. Upcoming Prime is very intriguing (even though we don't really know much yet or even if it will be on Sprint at launch).

Sticking where I am for now, next year there will be a phone that is better than the
Samsung and Photon.

I actually switched to an Epic 4g touch for a week...absolutely loved the display and speed, but there were so many little problems I ended up taking it back and going back to the Evo... Main problems were bluetooth issues (with my car), wifi not connecting/staying connected to my router, and occasionally disconnecting from the cell network (requiring a restart of the phone). In addition, the signal strength seemed to be nowhere near as good on either wifi or the cell network vs the Evo. Maybe after a software update or two it will be worth the switch, but for now, I'm back on my old reliable Evo...it "just works".

Should I get the Epic 4g Touch?

Ok so I currently have the nexus s 4g, i am due for an upgrade. I was just curious whether you guys think i should upgrade to the epic 4g touch, or wait for a better phone down the line (galaxy nexus). These are my thoughts:
The epic 4g touch, in many ways IMO, is the best phone out on the market now. I have played around with it in the sprint stores and love it. But I have a few questions...I have read that the Epic touch has NFC technology, is this true? Also are there a lot of nice ROMs for it, i have searched the dev section but really theres no way to tell the quality of ROM by just looking at the pictures and posts. Also do you guys think i should save my upgrade for something thats coming down the line? I have googled searched as much as possible to see if there are any new sprint phones coming down the line and i cant seem to find anything that beats out the epic touch, besides the galaxy nexus which is not even confirmed for sprint yet, and no announcment of a WiMax version so im thinking if sprint even gets it it wont be until they get there LTE network up which will be for a while. Gimme Your thoughts...thanks in advance.

Be patient and wait for the Galaxy Nexus. wait for the news about it, see if they are going to release one for Sprint... if not get the Epic Touch 4g.
No NFC for the epic touch 4g. also, not many roms. development is slow but it will take off with a little more time.

I'd wait for the Galaxy Nexus.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

First things first, there's always going to be a newer bigger and better phone coming down the line no matter what phone you buy. Even if you buy a phone on launch day there's always something new in the works. That's technology, its constantly evolving. And don't go chasing fairy tales of a Nexus that isn't even announced to be coming to Sprint. Even if it was it would be an LTE device and that's a long time from now.
As for lack of custom Roms the epic touch hasn't been out all that long so there's only a few custom Roms out. But truthfully there's not much that needs changing or modifying to make this phone awesome. Straight out of the box you won't find much to complain about if anything at all. I was asking myself the same questions and I come to the conclusion that the epic touch is definetely worthy of an upgrade and even worthy of keeping for twenty months. Sprint. LTE. is a ways off so by the time that starts rolling out in a timely fashion, you'll be nearing your next upgrade anyway. Go buy the epic touch and give it a try for a few days. I promise you will not want to return it and go back to your current phone. Trust me on that.

The Galaxy Nexus probably won't come for quite a while so if you're anxious for a new device and don't want to leave Sprint, then the Epic Touch will be great. There are some issues such as loss of signal and no NFC included as stated earlier. I came from the original epic and I upgraded to this one since the next Nexus seemed like it would take a while to get to Sprint.

I was in your situation and decided to go ahead and get the Epic 4G Touch. I haven't had any problems with it at all so far and love the phone. There's lots of development going on for it too if you're into custom ROMs. The Nexus Prime will probably be great, but who knows when we'll see it. Like others have said, there's always going to be something newer on the horizon.

Get it its a beast by th time you think about it. Newer phones will be out just enjoy the now

Hi I own one and though the phone is great, the Samsung support is non existent. Also with Samsung you have to buy new phone to get the upgrade to the OS. I am waiting for HTC to announce their next sprint phone like Vigor. My experience with HTC has been much better...The only way Samsung with unlearn what they learnt from Apple is to let their sales get affected. I am telling this to everyone who goes ooh aah over my phone.

If you are planning to stay with Sprint and not looking to switch carriers, I would say buy it and enjoy it.

I think the phone is great, despite having left mine for ohhh say 30 mins in a steamy bathroom. No water damage signs inside sprint told me (I didnt tell them what happened obviously) but two weeks later after tons of complaining I got a new one and I am happy as a pig in poo. This "smartphone" maybe because it is my first one, but I can't imagine being without it.
When I purchased it was a couple days after I found out that sprint was getting the iphone, and after about two weeks of hard research (it was released in US MID september to the best of my knowledge) so I am looking forward to spending two years with it now. The two weeks (really 10 days because I rigged it up to work and got extra battery that I had sprint credit to my account.
The old phone already had drop marks and stuff, the new one go a TPU treatment right away and steinheil sgp screen protector 24 hours later. This, IMO is the perfect trio. Size of the iphone IMO is better, thats it. The screen on this thing will wow you with pretty much all you look at, it is fast, every iphone person that sees it LOVES it (ICouldGAF after reading jobs bio - ****), precesses fast, battery is nice, feel nice, fit finish nice. I dont want a metal phone, even though when I dropped it a few times, the edges that were worn looked a heck of alot like some sort of metal and it bent like metal in places, I also read it is somewhere (of course cant find link but maybe somewhere on Samsung site proper)

I would get it. I doubt the galaxy nexus is coming to sprint. This is the best phone out for Sprint and will be for a long time.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!

I would defintely get it, i came from AT&T's Motorola Atrix(the first one) and it was a great device and still is, had it since launch, but i been wanting a Galaxy S phone. So i decided to go into the sprint store and check out the E4gT, and loved it, the phones that i was tryna decided between were the E4gT and the Evo3d, i didn't want the photon cause i don't really like motorla, and the iphone 4s was too high, plus i really don't like iOS(i love mod'n my devices and u really can't do much with iOS), and the Galaxy Nexus is WAAAAAYYYY OVERRATED, sure it's gonna come with ICS but nobody's gonna keep it stock for long, they'll end up throwing a rom over it, and the devs on the E4gT are active and will keep you happy with enough roms(and updates with them), mods, and themes until ICS comes to the E4gT
But back to the topic at hand, i definitely suggest this phone, buy it, give it a few days before u decide to root it to test it out, stay up to date with the forum and if u decide to root, the instructions are super easy and you'll have plenty of help if u get stuck(eventhough some may give u a hard time) but i'll definitely help u if needed just like i was helped.....now GO FOR IT! lol

Its aight. Once the LOS is fixed (hopefully) it'll be the a great phone to hang on to.
......

when its 100% it is an awesome phone and there isnt one out that Id want more, but because of the bugs me and the wife both slightly wish we waited longer to pick these up or got different phones without the bugs this phone has...
Id say wait for samsung to send out the update to fix the phone, then get it.

I have 3 Sprint phones in my possession right now. This one, the EVO 3D, and the Nexus S 4G. They are all great phones & each has some sort if advantage over the other. The Nexus S, will surely get ICS shortly after the Galaxy Nexus comes out. It is a great little phone. The EVO 3D is a nice phone & with the CM7 alpha on it, it's every bit as fast as the E4GT. HTC has already announced they well be updating it to ICS. The E4GT has a beautiful screen & is fast as hell. It's simple to use, root & also easy to fix if you mess something up from flashing. I would go to the Sprint store & play with these 3 devices & decide for yourself. I don't think Sprint well get the Galaxy Nexus until mid next year. Samsung has not mentioned one that ics is coming to this phone. The others have already said they'll get it.

Sprint has alot more to worry about than making the nexus a priority as their next samsung smartphone offering. They have their hands full with backorders of Epic 4g touches all over. I have been on the phone for a week, try getting one in a rapid fashion when yours malfunctions day 15 - one day after the 14 day trial ends - Jump through hoops. Been a customer since 1997 here....
As far as ICS, I wont hold my breath, what were working with seems well enough, no?

Upgrading sooner than I thought

I was planning on upgrading to a Dinc2 sometime this summer and dropping Verizon for Page Plus, but it looks like it will happen sooner than I expected. I dropped my Kin Twom today and the digitizer spiderwebed, so it is pretty worthless. It was a pretty good phone for the 2 years I had it, but I'll finally be getting something better.
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, I'm sure I'll be around these parts a lot once I find a good price on a Dinc 2.

Welcome! I was new to smartphones and Verizon recommended this phone. Great thing they did; i love it and the community that comes along with it.

Things are a little slower than they had been.. Waiting on a source to drop from HTC with Ice Cream Sandwich and then the newer roms like AOKP and nitsuj's rom plus the rom aero is working on.. they will then be 100% ... all are daily drivers as they stand now which is amazing considering there is nothing from HTC yet... So set back, relax, grab a beer, wine, liquor, smoke.. what ever you do and wait for the real fun to begin! WELCOME!!!!

Hate to s**t on everyone's pillows here, but the Inc2 is pretty old at this point, and I would recommend going for one of the newer devices if you can. That's just my thought. I always thought this phone was fast but after using any non Moto dual core device, this thing is, as I've said before, a sedated tortoise.

Well, compared to my Motorola dual core phone, this phone runs as fast as a mad, stabbed bull! So it is all relative. Plus the OP wants to quit Verizon and go to page plus. So may be he has a particular reason to choose dinc2, or budget constraints?

To each their own.. it's all good.. the DINC2 is a good phone and holds its own against other phones in its class.. The newer phones coming out are seriously powerful ... I can't wait to get a phone that makes me feel the way I did when I dumped the Blackberry Storm for the DINC2 ... I was blown away!!

Thanks guys. Ya I know the Dinc 2 is getting kinda old, but the new service I will be using is only for 3G phones currently and from what I have found the Dinc 2 is the top of the 3G types.

Well that explains it. But I do believe that 4G phones can work on 3G too, unless there is some compatibility issues with the service. So, may be you can consider a 4G phone too.

4G phones are compatible with 3g (would be stupid if they weren't). He may not have 4g in his area which may be why he didn't get a 4g phone. I didn't have it in my area when I upgraded so I took this phone.

Or that the phone is fat, has terrible battery life and overheats. Ugh. Sense 4 isn't bad though. Pretty nice. That and 2.1 are cool. Everything else blows. Still like stock ICS better than both.

I think you'll be happy with the Dinc2. It's a good phone, and for a 3G phone, it would be my first choice (again) for a 3G phone. I've really enjoyed mine for almost a year now (hard to believe it's been that long). I had not had any intentions of upgrading anytime soon due to not having 4G in my area.
Well, due to my wife's job relocating her, I will know be living in a 4G area, so needless to say, I have a Galaxy Nexus on the way. The Dinc2 will still be staying in the family though, moving to the wife till the next upgrade is due. This will be her first smart phone. I think she will be really happy.
Enjoy your phone, and the community here, They're a great goup

I have had the Inc2 for almost a year as well. My mom has a charge. We have 4G EVERYWHERE where I live (about 45 min outside Boston) and someone on my plan has an unwanted upgrade that is coming in May so Gnexus time for me. Yay! The inc2 really is the best VZW 3g phone though hands down.

I just upgraded from an Eris to the Inc2. I love it and the price off Amazon was 1 cent. Plus I was able to keep my unlimited data plan. And from what I've heard 4g is still spotty around where I live.

[Q][Sprint] Should i get a galaxy nexus or wait

hello guys, this is my first post on the Gnexus side of xda. I'm debating about getting the nexus as my upgrade is here. however Ive heard its been plagued with battery issues, wifi issues that cause the system to lock up, and other radio issues with the 3g connections.
i would be coming from the original epic 4g. I guess the big question is, is the Gnexus worth the $200 upgrade or wait it out till some of the software issues and LTE is more available?

Where are you hearing these issues. I haven't seen any of those. I came from the epic 4g as well. I would say if you can't wait for the sgs3 the gnex is the only other option.
If you have the upgrade itch ... you won't be upset with your purchase. Its not weighed down by touchwiz. Its super slick even on stock. Its super easy to root. No more Odin scares. Tons of support. Its also a pretty decent pre forming phone. Its old hardware compared to the upcoming Evo and sgs3 but it sacrifices this for its openness. It makes more sense to have an open processor than have a closed one on such an open operating system.

Obviously you're going to hear about any phone having issues, especially one as popular and hyped up as the Galaxy Nexus. Personally, I've had next to no issues with mine. I ran stock for about two months then got into rooting.
Heres the thing: the Galaxy Nexus is about 6 months old (in the US) which in terms of phones is slightly aged. Don't get me wrong, the Nexus is an excellent, excellent phone and out of any phone currently out right now I still think the Nexus is the best when it comes to what I want in a phone. The Nexus was definitely worth the upgrade when I got it and I'm sure you would still be extremely happy with it if you chose to upgrade. What you have to remember though is that sometime this holiday season (about 6 months) there are probably going to be another batch of excellent phones being released.
You're in kind of a troubled spot, in my opinion, for looking at phones. You could get it now and it would be a great phone or you could wait for probably about 6 months and at least hope that something incredible will come out during the holiday season. Basically, it comes down to what you want. If you're really wanting the Nexus I don't doubt you'll love it and you should get it.
