Upgrading to htc evo 4g..?

I have the hero. It is rooted with aospCmod 2.3.3. Should I get to the evo, or wait a bit longer. Im screwed on the upgrade part of it, as it is after aptir for me. Maybe sprint will have something worth waiting for at CTIA?

I'm personally waiting for a dual core processor, unless it a Samsung phone, then I'll continue to wait. Until then I'll be sticking with my hero.

Yea I am wondering the same thing.
... I might be upgrading today. It's just been a very difficult decision. Evo or evo shift? I watched many comparison videos. It seems like shift would be the way to go, because its 2nd generation snapdragon. But I love the big screen on the evo, its huge so you don't need a hardware keyboard. Games- I don't play much(besides Star Traders), just a couple. I'm all about fast browsing and watching videos like on YouTube etc. Thanks for reading, and I would appreciate your input

now that I'm running AOSP 2.3.3 along w/ Launcher Pro instead of ADW, I feel little need at the moment to move to a Evo. I mean, I still want to, but this thing is so much better than a stock hero, that I think I'll be good for a while.

Dim, I think we should. I'm sick of the hero. Only reason I got it was because I didn't have the cash for a good phone. Now I do, so screw it, I'm tired of trying rom after rom just to tolerate my phone. I'm getting the Evo for sure.

Agreed. It just doesn't do things as quick as I'd like it too and money isn't a problem anymore. I'll probably be getting it pretty soon.

I love my evo to death! I took a cruise through the hero forums today to see if there's any new and cool to do to my moms hero(still a good phone), I noticed a lot of you guys are on the fence trying to decide between the shift and the big one!
A couple things I want to point out. Shift may have slightly better specs but regardless I have never seen a slow down on anything, life is fast and large.
Also on the keyboard side, the on screen keyboard on the evo is much better than the hero due to a improved touch sensor and just having the buttons be larger. Also after you get it you can remove the stupid arrows(they take up too much space).
Go down to a Sprint store and play around with them till you find something that really makes you say yes this is sweet. For me, I have large hands and the evo is a lot easier for me to use because of the big screen(also I use the kick stand at least twice a day.). And they just got hdmi out working too!
Also in no way am I trying to put down the Shift, just pointing out even though papa evo is older its still in no way a slouch.

I'm glad sprint is sticking with the EVO brand for its flagship android devices. Don't get me wrong, I like choices, but I mean the EVO is almost a year old, and it hasn't been until recently that anything else worth buying has come out (atrix, nexus s, etc.). Now that they're refreshing it, I'm sure the new EVO will be the best thing on the market for a long time.

I concur! Is it me or it seems Samsung is behind HTC as far as making phones they are not as developer friendly and lacks in innovation, feature, functionality, and quality?

I think its you. The major issue with Samsung is their dragging ass getting updates out. Otherwise, imho, their hardware is excellent.

I'm waiting on the EVO 3D

Here's what I did... may help someone...
I knew my upgrade was going away come this Friday. So, I used my upgrade to get my new Evo (upgraded from old beloved Hero). Got it at Best Buy. Forked over $149 (had a $50 coupon) and paid them the extra $40 for their BuyBack program & BlackTie. Original retail cost of the Evo is listed at $599.
Then, I upgraded my plan to Shared to include my mom (porting her away from TMobile... so, that's an extra $150 service credit promotional from Sprint right there). BestBuy is currently running a new activation promotion and gave her a free LG Optimus S, retailing at $399. I spent an extra $40 for their BuyBack program on this phone also. Then, I gave my mom my old Hero and had Sprint do a free handset swap. So, now I've got this free LG Optimus sitting around in a box, never gonna be used. And I'm canceling the mandatory BlackTie $10/month on the 31st day from purchase.
Still with me here? So... when the new Evo 3D comes out, all I gotta do is take my current Evo back into Best Buy within the next 6months and they give me a $299 gift card for my Evo on BuyBack, and $199 for the never been opened Optimus S.
I failed ethics in high school. And college.

And your mom gets your ****ty old Hero. LMAO. JK, Sounds as if you worked the system for sure. Question though, Lets say the 3D retail is 599, 699, 799 without the upgrade price. Will they roll back your eligibility to get the phone at the upgrade price? I guess it's better than spending the full retail.
You are getting back 498 for sure but you come up short and then if your.. "Mom's" hero breaks... then you have to get here a new Optimus S on Ebay.
I do hope it works out for you. Sounds like some of the finagling I do.

Not sure how soon it will come, but it's nice to know someone is working on it at this point. I've always favored root rhough XDA as oppose to through HTC.

I think I'm keeping mine. I don't like any of the other phones. Not a fan of Samsung. This phone will be awesome when it is cracked.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA App

keeping mine. stock its not bad, and rooted will be epic! i'd consider the SG2, but for $100 more, it doesnt seem like the right deal... loving the vivid!

Mines going back tomorrow for the nitro, I won't miss it too much since I also have an amaze 4g. The wife doesn't understand why I need 2 hi end phones but what she doesn't realize is that come march I'll have 3 and in July I'll be adding another. If the vivid gets perm root and unlocked with s-off I'll probably get another one. I love the phone and the screen is one of the prettiest out there in my opinion. Hopefully it won't take long to get things moving on it, if htc doesn't keep their promise the amaze might be my last htc device unless if they were to bring a rezound to att, if that happened I'd be like a kid at Christmas.
Best of luck to those keeping it, it really is a great phone but I see the word HD in a device name and I start slobbering all over myself.

I'm Keeping Mine
It does what I need - phone calls, texting, web access, running apps I've installed. Except for a couple of random reboots (none recently) and one system freeze (pulled the battery) over 30 days, I've had no real problems. It's fast when I have a good data connection, and I don't think it's the phone's fault when I don't. I did give AT&T a list of issues for their survey, but overall, I'm satisfied.
As for the Carrier IQ issue, any phone I get from AT&T (except for possibly the iPhone 4S) will have CIQ software on it. Rooting, when available, may not be totally stable yet for any of the new LTE phones. The best solution for me is to keep my communications plain vanilla, which I do any way, so there's nothing that I need to be worried about. I do want to CIQ stuff off my phone if and when there is a safe way to do it.

the SGHi777 aka the Galaxy S 2, does not contain CIQ
as for rooting LTE phones, i guess you havent seen the GS2 Skyrocket forums? its rooted and has custom roms.

I have 211 confirmed receipts so far from those were lied to and are joining the class action suit.

Our own Gsleon has been talking with Evil_Devnull a little bit. Evil is working on rooting the HTC Rezound (which is nearly identical to the Vivid). So as of now, keep on the lookout for the progress with the Rezound root, because that could very well translate to when/how we Vivid owners get root.

You made a good choice. I owned gs2 earlier, switched to vivid, and had to come back to GS2. I wanted to Love vivid but HTC/Att who ever locks the boot loader shattered my plans. Well, I'm happy to be back to GS2.

Went in to return the vivid tonight...
I didn't.
Quite simply, there is no viable alternative.
The skyrockets screen is horrendous and build quality is scary.
The nitro has the most beautiful screen I have ever seen but it is so laggy, unresponsive and jittery it feels like am entry level Android device, plus even with an unlocked bootloader devs hate LG so who knows what roms will ever come out for it.
So I sit... And pray someone crack this thing.

Finally... someone talks some sense. LG development is/has always been a joke. Samsung development consists of TouchWiz and AOSP Rom's (is there even a difference between the two?). I guess I can see all the people pissy about being lied to from HTC, but I don't see another option right now. Samsung phones are boring. I'm waiting for Evil and Gsleon.

Annoying logo on the front (Atrix HD) ...

Hey everyone,
I'm considering the Atrix HD as my next phone, but i can't stand how it has the AT&T log on the front like that. Does anyone have one that has tried removing it? if anyone has successfully removed it without damaging the appearance of the phone then I will definitely consider the Atrix HD. And please don't try to remove the logo for my sake and damage the appearance of your phone, this thread is just to see if anyone has already tried it on their own accord.
Thank you!

To my understanding, no you cant remove without damage. I have the Atrix 2 tho....

I have the Bell version and no logo on it. You can also turn off LTE on the Bell version. Are you thinking of buying it on contract or outright? If outright, look for one on the market place.

I would be getting it as an upgrade on an AT&T contract. I don't see the practicality in getting it outright because it was way more expensive.
And I will get over the logo ... but another factor other than the logo I almost forgot is that the Motorola update schedule fails. I had probably vowed earlier the same day of starting this thread that I would never get a Motorola phone again because their lack of updating is outrageous. How many phones do they have on ICS? One? My Atrix 4G was supposed to get ICS right about now but they changed the schedule to more or less say its up in the air whether we will get the update at all. So no doubt the Atrix HD is an awesome phone, Motorola makes some nice devices but their update policy has shaken my loyalty.

They seem to want to update phones after 2011 according to an article I read. They stated that their devices will receive the jellybean update or they will give you $100 to put towards one of the recently announced phones such as the razr m.

I sent my OG Evo last week. Was rooted with stock rom on it. They said it would take 2 weeks for them to get it and another 2 weeks for me to get the giftcard, so I don't expect to hear anything for a while.

Sent from my rooted HTC One...

I've got a Verizon Galaxy Nexus I'm sending in this week, I was already notified it would take 4-6 weeks before I heard anything.

Got the money this weekend. $100. Think I sent it in... oh, 3 days after I got the phone... 4 days maybe ... so about April 23rd if anyone's looking for a reference point. Comes as a Pre-paid visa and you have vendors run it as a credit card, even though it says "debit" on it.
Important note: my tracking info checker from the email still shows my phone as not being received, so don't let that worry any of you checking up on it and wondering.

What do you think HTC does with all these old phones? Mine was an android running gingerbread. The screen was in tact but it was full of dust underneath. I doubt anyone wants it. Do you think they just recycle them?

On the HTC Trade-Up site it says that they do recycle phones that cannot be reused. They have a zero landfill policy.
On another note, does the phone necessarily need to be in working order if you pre-registered for the $100 trade-up offer? My one-year-old son got a hold of the Samsung Moment that I was planning on sending in and damaged the battery connector. I've tried several things to get it working again to no avail. I don't remember what was in the fine print.

This Isn't Even Funny

Just when you thought not having 4.2.2 was lemon juice on the slow update scars... You get this great present from HTC

Don't worry, in the US the One X people will have to wait 6 months for the update you linked. Surely by then the US carriers will have released the 4.2.2 update for the HTC One. Surely!

Well, it's supposed to be in Sprint's hands right now. Problem is, they say it's up to HTC. You know how the story goes. It'll get here when it gets here. Sprint will probably update the EVOLTE before the One.

That's Taiwan. We can only use that as a reference point, nothing else.
But I think this is just getting friggin ridiculous. Maybe there's a serious bug in the update like battery drain and only the US carriers are caring enough to resolve it with HTC?

Lets be honest here... There is a reason Samsung is WINNING! How far can build quality and sense get you when post support sucks ass. Flagships are being killed off by HTC after a year while Samsung updates OG EVO status devices. The GS2 shares the same OS as us for gods sake... This is ridiculous.
I've always been one to steer people away from the plastic GS devices, but you can't deny they are future proof in getting them. I'll have to definitely wait on next year's flags instead of dumping money day 1 like I've done the last 2 years.
And for the fanboys that say... Leave the one... No I will not. I'm NOT saying it's not the best device, but you can't deny post support sucks on our end.

Silentrx relax man its not a big update. 4.1 is smooth on this phone. The One is still tits, no problems with this phone, just getting used to sense 5 initially
Again tho for updates you need to be on a GSM carrier and have an unlocked Nex

Everyone always forgets that Samsung is pretty bad with updates also.

They've made GREAT progress in fixing this issue though while HTC continues to fall behind in the U.S.

Well, if we're being honest. There is a reason Samsung is winning, and it's called marketing. It most certainly is NOT because HTC phones are slow getting such minor updates like 4.2. Most people don't know anything about it, and it's not even close. The only ones who really care that much are the people on XDA who root and run custom roms, and we are the minority by a HUGE margin.
Honestly, it's even smaller than that, because some of us who root and run custom roms could still care less about this update. It brings next to nothing for a lot of us. Kernel and the ability to run 4.2 roms will be fun...but not that many people care all that much. We all know how annoying it is, it does suck..but it's definitely not the reason why Samsung is winning lol

I mostly agree. Remember when people used to call whatever android phone a Droid? Now they say galaxy, even if it's not a Samsung phone. They certainly did something right with the brand name.
Hopefully htc will stick with the One moniker and recover lost customers
It is kinda nice to be the only one among all my friends to have a One while all my Galaxy friends envy my One and say they should have got that instead

Am I the only one not seeing a problem here? HTC is updating a phone that's a year old with the 2nd latest OS version. If anything I would say we should be excited about this.

Excited about what? The One X deserved the update without a doubt... They should have done this without even thinking. Problem I have is... Not even the DEV edition HTC one which is unbranded sold directly from HTC is still on outdated OS regardless of how minor the update is. If the update is so minor... Why do we not have it? Why does the DEV edition NOT have it officially? It makes no sense that this phone was release 4-5 months ago international and they just not got the update. Ours was released 3 months ago and no update in sight. Call it what you want, but I dare you say POST SUPPORT from HTC is better than POST SUPPORT from Samsung?
NO I'M NOT GOING TO CRAPWIZ so please don't make this cool story useless replying that

Sprint is holding it up at this point, not htc. I'm pretty sure tho that Sprint is forcing htc to make some signal improvements, since a lot of people complain the S4/3 has it better due to the plastic body.
No source, just my thoughts. No other imaginable reason why we haven't gotten the update

What I have been thinking is once Verzion starts selling the HTC One, which comes with 4.2.2, then u.s. carriers will be like oh I guess we can update now haha that's what I'm thinking.. but even of they don't, I've herd that since Verizon is CDMA, we will be able to port it fairly easy!

This could be close. Verizion usually wants something "exclusive" when it comes to the phones they carry. They may be the only US carrier with 4.2.2 for a limited time through a deal with HTC.
Unrelated note, why do people think sprint has the update already?

Since HTC doesn't seem to know how to update my phone and I obviously don't know how to enjoy it, I'm probably just gonna kill myself. What's the point of life if Satan, sorry - HTC, can't provide a menial software update?
Exactly, no point to life without 4.2. I NEED IT NOW.
