How much longer will you keep your EVO 4G?

[Kamau]

I'm dumping this thing in a month or so. It's a great phone, but Sprint towers in my area are horrible to say the least, even though the coverage maps and CS say my area should be excellent. It was my fault for not talking to anyone, and just going by the coverage maps when I first bought this thing.
Personally, I am seriously considering going back to a contract.

 

[Karayan]

Will be keeping mine until Jan or Feb next year. Been using my upgrades for other people but since Sprint dropped WiMax it is time to find a great LTE phone. Problem is that I doubt I find one that has been as good to me as this one has. Will be passing this one down to either my child or nephew to use over wifi and for music and such. Unless I can find a camera that works front,back and camcorder on ICS and then i may have to just give up my upgrade one more time

 

[Rxpert83]

Wimax will still be in use for a few years, so no rush

Just sold mine for 125.00. great phone but it was time to move on. Thought i was getting the one x but bought the galaxy s3 instead. The lack of sd memory and not being able to remove battery made the s3 my choice, that and i got a new one for 350.00 from craigslist , which i use on straight talk and so far i like. Awesome phone just wish it was brighter

what? no note 2? LOL

the s3 is a great phone. you chose wisely. i was close to getting one myself. But i did not like the feel of it. plus i'm an htc guy.

 

[Mikestony]

You see the size of that Note? Too big for me imo...I think the S3 is pushing it size-wise for me to carry around

 

[dan330]

i am wanting to upgrade.. the evo is getting left behind.. cant keep up with the new games.


to either the S3 or the Note2.. the LTevo with only 1gb RAM is holding me back. so i am going to give sammy a chance to show me the light.

the issue is $$$ and S-pen.

S3 - rumored to be $50 on black friday at sprint. and get a Nexus 7
or
N2 - with the bigger screen and S-pen .. multi-window apps running. but $299!

 

[ocnbrze]

i just heard a rumor that the s3 is going to be $99 at best buy for their daily deal.

Perhaps "try them on"..as in, I don't know how you carry a phone, and see how it feels on your belt, or in your pocket--wherever...see how it feels in your hand, how light/heavy it it etc etc.....and like you mentioned--memory, speed etc....
Lots of factors that sometimes bewilder me!

i agree, it felt cheap but with a nice case its good to go and i am an htc guy to just wish the one x had expandable memory and a removable battery. And yeah the note 2 is huge

If you are still with sprint the one x has removable storage

 

[bxchef29]

switched to straight talk with an att s3. Sprint was horrible where i live and ok in town

Or wait till black friday for this:

Sprint Black Friday ad reveals $50 Galaxy S III on November 23rd only -- Engadget

& No I will be keeping my EVO4G until they turn off WiMax or Turn on LTE for SPCS since their 3G is crap right now.

I will be getting rid of my Evo as soon as I'm eligible for upgrade if not sooner!!!! I have had nothing but problems with mine and there are so many errors on my phone that I can basically only use it for calling purposes now!! grrrrr .... The Evo was my first android phone and IM NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL!!!!! If I stay in the Android world I will definitley be going with APPLE next!!! I will definitley tell anyone I know to stray away from the HTC products as they really have no support system at all!!

 

[Rxpert83]

Apple isn't an android device.

If you let us know what issues you're experiencing, we can fix them one way or another.

If you haven't looking into rooting, I'd highly suggest it. My evo experience was nothing but amazing

yeah i agree with rx, my og evo, evo 3d and now evo lte has been great. i never had any issues with any of those devices. not sure where i go after the evo lte, but that is to far down the line for me to say.

sorry that your experience was not so great. but if you still have issues, we can certainly try and help.

 

[maxnix]

LMAO a "phablet". LOL who really wants big a$$ phone in their pocket.

Actually, I prefer the return of the stylus for note taking and precise drawing.

The Galaxy Note III with 1080p screen might get me to switch. The Note II is only slightly larger than an EVO LTE or even a S III, but so much more powerful. It is like a tablet for the pocket with which one can make calls and stay connected.

Right now though, I am enjoying my rooted EVO 4G with pure Android ROM. It is so slick and completely functional without the Sprint bloatware. I probably will not get another phone regardless if it is not rooted.

Let me say your experience is not typical. If you can accurately describe your problems, wise members here can help. If you have a stock phone, even Sprint can help.

If you improperly flashed the ROM, even to a known stable one, the onus may be on your technique. There are solutions if you want to find them. The members here are more helpful than any Forum and on par with XDA.

One problem I can see immediately is that your spell checker is not working.

Might that be a clue?

Finally moved on. Got a Galaxy Note 2 and love it. 12 hrs of ownership and rooted with custom recovery. Carried a ton of apps over with TB. Fast, fast, fast.

 

[dan330]

my first real look at the N2 (in my hands) was last night.. that thing is huge.
it is a small powerful tablet.. that can make phone calls.

i need to find a better deal..on this phone..

The pricing will drop about $100 in January!

I'll be getting rid of my EVO 4G at the end of my contract. The phone was nice in the beginning, but I'm tired of seeing "this item is not compatible with your device" when I want to download certain apps.

My Sprint contract is up on 12/27 and I'm leaving Sprint and their crappy service. They never provided any 4G service in my area and they probably won't till the end of 2013, if even then.

I'll be switching carriers and getting the Note 2.

 

[Palmetto Fellow]

I am sticking with the EVO 4G until something comes out that makes me lust.

Right now, I don't see anything that hits the spot. From what I can tell, the EVO4G is like the most popular phone on this forum. It has the most threads and replies for a sub-forum (at least, from a glance, it seems to be the most popular).

For this reason, I appreciate what the EVO4G means. The more people who have it...means that more stuff gets developed for it. I'd hate to have one of those phones with like 150 threads in the sub-forum. That would suck.

At this point, I am waiting for more quad-core options. I know LG has one (bleh) and the latest Samsung Note 2 has quad-core. I'll be holding off until there are more quad-core options...and I'll either get the Samsung S4 or HTC's first quad-core flagship.

 

[dan330]

just ordered my S3...

not sure if I am keeping the evo or selling it...

 

[fletzie555]

I finally rooted my phone last night with an ICS build. Its made it a completly new phone for me. I plan on holding on to my phone now for a while longer until there are a few quad core phones out and I will decide what to get then.

Can you please tell me where you got whatever download you needed to root your phone...I am a total newbie and would like to root my phone to clear out the clutter! Thanks
