Jealous of this guy!! HTC you have let me down big I'm truthfully disappointed in your lack of software updates lately in a general matter not just ICS!! Stop making a new phone every day and fix the current phones and update them when they are capable of being updated !!!! Not 1year later or never!!!
I hadto fight for my 1year upgrade just to get the EVO 3d on day one..do you guys remember when Sprint did away with 1year upgrades in the middle of some contracts (well mine was a lucky contract who was at the 1year upgrade point) so i called and called and they finally gave me what i was entitled to in my original 2year contract just in time to pre order the HTC EVO 3d to get it on day 1..with that being said I hadto sign another 2year contract which now locked me in for 3 full years...so the switch to LTE bothers me especially because Wimax never even reached within 100-200 miles of my current location...and now my hard to get upgrade went to waste because our device has not only hit end of life but Wimax is dead in the sense of it was an attempt and a failed attempt so now LTE is on the way out and well I'm stuck with the 3vo until April 2013 atleast and even then that's only 1year upgrade price which isn't like it useto be 1year upgrade at New contract price mind you... So I just feel like i got screwed in the long run without knowing it...LTE il get over until i can upgrade, but lack of ICS to this point, no Wimax/ LTE to this day anywhere even close to me within 1-2 hours... And now the 3vo hitting the end of life just all combined absolutely drives me insane I feel like we got suckered that's all...the 3vo is a Damn great phone and I LOVE it but i feel like we didn't get the full potential out of our phone's from sprints end and now were not able to upgrade for quite some time unless you wish to spend $400-500 etc...for a new phone which I'm unable to spend on a phone..I never meant to annoy anyone I just get over excited and really p.oed to easy so I'm sorry for that and il refrain from posting after this post !! I'm sorry I got really carried away again and again!
I want ICS to hurry because I'm going to upgrade soon and I want to see what it looks like and how it performs on this phone.
Although, most of us tend to disagree with you, you have certainly made your point known with multiple comments saying essentially the same thing. I think everyone here realizes you are extremely frustrated. Now, can you please stop your rant/tantrum so we can carry on with the productive, insightful posts AF is known for?
+1Could we possibly make the suggestion that if people are frustrated/unhappy with Sprint for a variety of reasons (ICS Upgrade, Wimax transition to LTE, Upgrades, etc) that those go into their own thread? That way this thread is more focused on what the latest/greatest is in terms of when we may get ICS and doesn't get bogged down with side chatter and complaints that rapidly spiral out of control.
Personally, it is frustrating to me when I check this thread that I have to read through 3+ pages of posts only to see 2 new updates mentioning nothing new yet. Would be easier if new posts to this thread were geared towards when we may get ICS and projected dates, where complaints with Sprint go into a seperate thread.
Just a request / suggestion.
This thread isn't speeding up the process either way. Granted I'm a total dummy newb but aren't you guys all rooted? What does ICS have that's so special? Is it not an unrooted ROM?
I'm actually glad I didn't use my upgrade to get this phone (had another upgrade for different phone number) so I get to upgrade again whenever I want. I just got a Galaxy Nexus for a different phone number (pick it up from the store tomorrow) so I will get to see what ICS is really like.
I know I'm gunna sound like a sheep right now, but if Sprint doesn't get any of the new Android phones as soon as they come out (galaxy III, etc), Since the EVO LTE wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be, I'm probably gunna switch over to the iPhone5 when it comes (only if Apple finally puts everything they promise into it). Since all my work is on Mac's to begin with, it will just make syncing work and play all that much easier, since HTC doesn't make software to completely sync their phones on Mac.
Key Android Engineer Weighs In On Manufacturer Contributions To AOSP And Update Rollouts
For those feeling impatient take this article however you want to, while it is not a direct comparison or even involve phones/carriers directly, it is an interesting perspective none-the-less.
I'll be honest I don't mind not having the quad core, the dev wont or aren't utilizing it in the tablets that have it anyway, a quick duel core with with better camera ( the one x is on the right track) and (cross my fingers) more efficient battery consumption would be nice.. The main thing that bugs me with HTC is they rolled out the Evo 3D big it up then put it in a box and forgot about it, I truly think the evo "3d" is dead, it was a nice try, if they roll out ICS for the evo 3d and said sorry the 3d camera is a no go I'd be cool with that. I got this phone for the duel core and 1gb ram, if I remember right it was one the first if not the first, the 3D was a bonus I only used three times tops.. If they're going to kill the 3D just do it and move on.
Like I said I've tried some of the beta roms of ICS with and without sense4 on the evo 3d and they work great just no camera, give me my camera and video and I'm cool,.. 3D can burn for now for all I care, just my opinion.
