Love it, thought I might want the S3 or Note 2, but after researching both, I am thrilled with it after owning it since May 2012.

Thought the non removable battery would scare me, but no problem. What I do not like is the awkward placement of the power charging receptacle. It makes the phone incompatible with many Android speaker charging docks, which is why I wanted the S3 briefly. Love everything about the Note 2 until you talk on it...you look like you're holding a brick to your head.

I just got mine...adjusting things to my preference. The touchscreen was a little bit too sensitive for me - so I adjusted the zoom & double tap settings inside accessibility.

Other than that...what else I need to know - I'm hoping its posted inside our EVO 4G LTE forum. :)

P.s. I was thinking of getting the Note 2 ...but after playing around this big 4x7" display, I am more than satisfied with its screen size.

Get used to it, and when you're bored, let us know, and we'll help you root it. ;) :D

Everybody and their mama has an S3. I like to be different and not be a follower. The build on the Evo is awesome, the camera is the best, and I still get that, "wow, what kind of phone is that?", when I pull out my phone.

That's why Im a Nexus lover and the main reason I bought a Gnex and not a s3 or evo lte
 
Love everything about it until Jelly Bean update. Now, like many of us, my Google Maps Navigation is broken. Any word on when a fix is going to happen? Best alternative GPS? I depend on navigation as I travel for months at a time for work.

Also, my battery life is still good, but not as good as before the update. Before JB, the battery life was insane (keep in mind...I came straight to this from EVO 4G, so I am used to having a phone plugged in a lot!) ;) Still lasts me all day easy, even after JB update.
 
After replacing my broken screen myself (thanks to a full tutorial on how to), I decided to keep this phone for awhile.

I like the HTC One, but I won't be upgrading no...time...soooon. :D
 
I've gone through three Evo 4G LTE phones since they originally came out. IIRC, the first one was because the screen died completely, the second was due to screen separation issues, and the third was due to the phone emitting a strange noise during a call when the screen turned on. Thankfully, I had a Best Buy warranty, which let me just swap them out, but on this last one they've been back ordered for about 2 months.

Just wondering if other people have had bad luck with their HTC phones as well?

My wife and I both have one and neither have been replaced. I got mine when they came out and hers was last Christmas.
 
I'm on my third one now, and I'm going to get this one replaced. Yellow screen and the touch interface is all twitchy. I can't scroll through any menus without having to drag the screen back a few times because it jumps wildly.

Just got this one 2 days ago. :(
 
My OG Evo finally gave up about a week ago(battery) so I finally decided to use the LTE which I have had for some time now. Is an ok device but would still prefer the OG. I have a few problems with the LTE that are rapidly becoming a big turn-off:

1)Keyboard/Soft-key placement. I never had any problems on the OG typing but with the LTE I am constantly pegging a Soft-key(normally Home) when I am typing. Don't know why it's different but definitely harder for me to type on this thing.
2)Software Design: I am a person who likes ease-of-use. The fact that I now must use 2 hands when doing things like Menu or Settings is really annoying.
3)Size: I am all for having a decent size screen but it's becoming to much. Bigger isn't always better and this one has reached that point. It's a little big for my tastes.
4)Ports: Don't get the thinking behind having a kickstand and then putting Charge Port on one side and Camera/Volume on the other. Is kinda like saying " Like the kickstand? Figure out how to use it!".

There are things though that I do like. Battery life is great but could be because I don't use it as much as I did my OG. Where they put the kickstand is better than on the OG. Camera is better/clearer and Burst is cool.

All-in-all I can't say I hate the device but not sure with the design they are doing that my next will be HTC.

I can relate. At first...I was hesitant on using this phone as well. Changes are not as easy as most would make you believe...but it's not as bad as some of us thinks. :)

Just like anything we do, it takes time to get use to something different.

In time...you'll find that this bad boy is not as different than its family member OG Evo 4G.
 
I had been quite pleased with my HTC EVO LTE which I have had for over a year, UNTIL my wife recently bought a Samsung S4. Very different (positive) from the HTC EVO LTE! Speed, power, DISPLAY, and on board memory - in a word: 'WOW!'
 
I'm on my second one. Unfortunately, this usually happens when they're so many models made. Totally an awesome device, nonetheless. ;)

Different phone generations.

You will feel that way with any phone that is over a year old when compared to the current flagship.

Evo 4g to evo 3d, evo 3d to evo 4g LTE, evo 4g LTE to the htc one, and on down the line :D
 
Ordered the one m8 yesterday. Out with my second HTC and in with a third. I had 3 Palms before they went out of business. I think this will keep HTC around. Love it. Played with it at the store. Goodbye 4G LTE, nice knowing you...

Congratulations... ;)

The HTC One m8 sounds awesome, but this phone (evo 4g lte) will always be my favorite. :)

I miss the form factor, the kick stand and the weight advantage of the LTE. If they will stuff a new processor and updates into the old machine, I'll be back. There was nothing wrong with how it worked, but the battery got weak and I'm moving on. Still find the 4G LTE a fine piece. My wife will use hers for a long time to come (and she has had hers longer than mine).
 
I believe my father in law is going to use my LTEvo, and retire his Gnex. I'm kind of reluctant to give it to him, still attached to the little rascal. It's an awesome phone, still love it. :)
