Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
Ive been bored with mine since about December. I rarely ever keep phones long and ive been wanting something else for a while but Sprint hasnt put out anything I want. Even after the engadget leak of the Nexus S and the Evo 3D today im not really interested in either. I'm probably going to go ahead and get the Thunderbolt and then the Bionic. I've pretty much decided to leave Sprint especialy with all these data issues.

The Thunderbolt is a yawn...the Atrix is already out for example and completely blows it out of the water..to bad its on AT&T...

I'm personally waiting on a quad core by end of the year :P..so far my phone is doing everything I want it to do so I'm happy..

As for the Evo 3D, how do you know its not interesting? have you seen specs anywhere?

This may have already been posted, but for those you who have grown tired of your Evo...try flashing MIUI. It changes the whole interface...and I almost hate to admit it but it's very iPhone-ish.

MIUI

If this is true, I would pick this over my EVO any day. I would also ebay my EVO for it.

Sprint's Nexus website is 'coming soon' -- Engadget

I would use my upgrade for a pure Google OS phone, without sense or touchwiz. That would rock IMHO.

I would also. I just want to see a samsuck phone get an update without issue (every wp7 phone is pushed because of this) :(.

Or you can get the EVO 4G 3D

You already can flash AOSP roms. You just arent looking.

From what I have been hearing so far...all had problems here and there while updating...its actually a common thing...most of the problems though usually come with OTAs..both the Epic and Instinct had issues with the "OTA"..if you update manually and do a factory reset it solved the issues 99% of the time...

But the Nexus phones tend to get more community support :P...

lol..sorry..sorry..had to say that AT LEAST once >.>..

Though when is sprint going to announce specs for the Evo 3d?..it better not be only a 3d screen..the specs need to be at least better then the atrix...


also the url..

http://now.sprint.com/evo3d/

is redirecting back to the homepage...but if i say put evo4d at end it goes to page cant be found..:/

If its 3D I doubt its running Qualcomm because as far as we know, nothing adreno is capable of that. Could it ne the dual core 1.5 ghz beast we have been waiting for?
Only tegra and vr blah blah right now can do it. However HTC and Qualcomm have a love affair.
I'll be happy with atrix specs and an amoled screen. And a nicer cam. With ARM9 power management.

Cooler than your EVO

they say the race horse is bred out. If you put their speeds on a graph, the slope was steep from 1900 until sometime in the 70's and then flattened out to the point where it is nearly flatline. We have made the best horse we can make.
The same goes for technology. There is a ramp of newness and then it plateaus but eventually it goes flatline and then the technology becomes very cheap.
The modem went from coupler to 1200 to 9600 and eventually to 56K where it sits today. Broadband access was still 5 years away. Laptops, once dual core have changed little over the last 5 years. The price has nose-dived.
Smartpphones may be nearing that stage of evolution where all the BIG enhancements are there and now it is a matter of refinement. Better camera, more rugged, a few more bells & whistles but we may be looking at the best phone to come for some time.

I thought the tegra 2.5 3d is 1.2ghz :/..Tegra 3 is the 1.5ghz and quad core...

They may end up using a custom component for the 3d displaying oreo...

But considering Atrix is already out and end of the year will have Quad core tegra phones...it has to be at least something competitive for the time :/

Considering the specs..to get a good experience for what current Android is probably places:

800mhz on processor
Adreno 205

aka a 2nd gen processor is what I would put as a decent experience on Android for WVGA resolution.

Now if resolution goes up to 720p for example..it would definitely require more processing..not to mention multiple cores are definitely needed to make multitasking smoother..or aka background processors..Then there is the new GPU tech that allows you to run Adobe Flash and other stuff 100% on the GPU and hardware acceleration.

Of course we expect Android to improve and take a bigger step..similar to how Windows 7 is much more hardware intensive then say XP...

Aka Hardware has definitely not reached its limit just yet..but we are getting there..
