Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
I dont know what it is... maybe its all the new phones that have come out recently, but I'm a little tired of my evo.

Is anyone else?


Edit: Sorry, I didn't really word this the way I should have. I do still like my evo and still try to get people to convert from other phones to the evo (4 people so far). Please view post #11 on page 2 for an update.

Thank you,
Jimmiekain

I have to agree with the others... I still love my EVO. It does everything that I want and leaves me wanting nothing. Besides, trying to keep up with those Jones bastards gets old after awhile, especially when nothing else has come out better than what I already have.

I still love my Baby..... I never love a phone much as I love my EVo.... If the EVO 2 comes out I will have both. If you over it then kick rocks.....

My last phone was a Moment. Uh, no. This is one very functional and stable phone. Maybe your tired of Android OS.

ChrisH09 02-25-2011 04:16 AM

There is no other phonr sprint carrys that comes even close to the Evo. The Epic lacks in a few areas...atleast i think it does.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
The Evo by far has been the most stable and functional phone I've ever used. It's so good that I won't complain to Sprint that being in a WiMax area I still can't get a good signal. The only thing I look forward to is an EVO LTE edition.

Nope!! Can't say that I am!! Good luck in your new quest to find a new phone!!

What can you do with the Evo that you can't do with the iPhone?

jimmiekain 02-25-2011 09:45 AM

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
Go buy an iphone? NEVER! I'm not trying to offend anyone because I do still like my evo but a guy at my job got the LG Optimus 2x (no 3g runs on edge only) and that thing is super nice! So please allow me to re-ask my question...

Lets say (theoretically) that a new HTC Evo 2 came out with a better screen (lets say super amoled), dual core cpu, better battery life, and more ram. Also it keeps all the cool things we like about our current evo ie front cam, kickstand, runs like a champ, 4g etc.

Would you be willing to shell out the clams? I would.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
haven't had my Evo but for a few months so it's still pretty new to me, no way that I would give it up for anything else that Sprint currently has, to me nothing else comes close, now if they came out with the Evo 2 then I would think about it but this one is still new, what your going to have to realize is that no matter if it's a car, computer, phone or whatever your always going to buy it and love it one day and then something newer is going to come out the next and your going to want that, I'm satisfied and staying put for now.

True... its probably just me. I get bored with things quickly. And I agree... nothing sprint currently offers interests me at all.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
For now the first generation snap dragons are still quite usable, with the current ROM versions, there is nothing that really requires faster processors and more RAM. Currently the specs are more than enough (I even use SetCPU to downclock to 620~ish MHZ to save on battery, and the fact the performance for normal usage is pretty much the same). Dual core is relatively useless currently and just primarily for bragging rights. Now if it was an improvement in battery life without increase in size, I'd be on board, but for now it's just fine.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
Love mine. I will only change for Evo 2 (depending on when it comes out and what improvements it would have).

Maybe more internal memory like Droid X and the duel processor so I can officilly use netflix on it.

Other than that, a happy camper

My girlfriend has the epic and while I do like my evo better I am jealous of her camera.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
Best phone/smart device I've ever owned by far

But...

I am ready for something new. The new Motorola sounds killer! I want a dual core.

PS - after a year, I still want a hard keyboard. It's not the tactual feedback, its about screen geography. The soft keyboard obscures half the screen.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
I'm not tired of my evo, but I am tired of the software. looking at the thunderbolt, I'd like a bigger kickstand and 4G that actuallly works, but more than anything I'd like the new Sense, maybe some gingerbread, and just some optimizations. i like the custom roms with these features but want the option of 4G, HDMI, and FFC. Time should fix this woe though, as without another flagship android device coming soon, sprint should update the evo at least for a little bit.

nope, love it still....had tp2, palm pre and tp1....evo kicks all thier butts imho

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
I'm tired of the battery life and workarounds and excuses. 1500mA is far cry from this phone needs. I carry a spare battery in my pocket, and have another in a wall charger. I should not have to manage power like Scotty on Star Trek.

A newer chipset that is more efficient, and/or a device with a bigger standard battery.

Also, my sons EPIC does some things way faster then my EVO. Like connect to 4G and Wifi. His Wifi Radio starts up and connects very fast. I wish my EVO connected that fast.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
The EVO is just like your mom (you had to know that this was coming). No matter all the pretty new models that are out right now, I still am having fun with her. jk

Does that mean I'll change? not now, that for sure.

caleb02 02-25-2011 06:33 PM

I want to trade my Evo for a epic 4g. I also have AN extended battery

Evo, like a Slinky might loose its glimmer but still fun to throw down the stairs.

nasa1303 02-25-2011 08:39 PM

Maybe if Sprint would come out with some new phones I might get jealous. For now hands down evo is the best phone they have - for me that is. Moment left a really bad taste in my mouth for Samsung. Only thing I envy on epic is the hard keyboard.

I play with epics everyday, and I never see one connect to wifi any faster than my evo. Now, 4g is a different story.

Someone else stated that they wanted a super amoled, that will be harder on battery, look at all the super amoleds, they all are usually the biggest battery drainer on the phones. Although, they are amazing to look at.

Evo 2 minimum specs or I will be going to a different company for the specs:

Dual Core Snapdragon/Tegra 2 or better
1.5GB dedicated app storage, on board, no more A2SD2
1GB rom
16GB on board, upgradeable to 32GB more
4.3 inch screen with better resolution than Current
Don't care at all about FM radio, NFC

Wants:
Full Mirror Micro HDMI, even if it uses the Modded Micro USB
1080p 60fps recording/playback
12 MP camera
Dual flash
Dolby surround
Better Battery life
Same shape so my cases will work and someone can maybe make a dock

The Tegra 2 on the Atrix is nasty. I had to check to make sure that it was still installing apps for a customer while I had 5 installs going and showing them Angry Birds because it didn't do the serious lag thing while installing the apps. Incredible. I like the DC Snapdragon though because I know people really want Netflix, I don't actually care that much as I don't use it yet.

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
I got my EVO the day it came out last year and it still rocks as far as I am concerned. Most new phones coming out don't have anything far greater to offer and until they do I will be happy with what I have. The only requests I would have is a higher resolution screen and as others have mentioned, better battery life.

Remember, there is no such thing as the "perfect" phone. They are just like computers. Obsolete the day you buy them.

JeffKay 02-28-2011 12:52 PM

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
My personal bet.... every one that laments the EVO love and "no need to change"... are the same people that probably said the same thing about (insert phone here.. Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2 .. etc etc.)

When the new kid comes on the block, we are all jumping ship.

I am very pleased with mine, but when a new toy comes out, I'm all over it.

But.. I do have to say.. I saw an ad for EVO during the Academy Awards. It's still a front line phone, almost a year later. I've never seen that before.

I think your right... At least, I know I fit into that boat. For me it was the tp then the palm pre then the tp2 now the evo.

My buddy at work got the Atrix this weekend :angry7: on top of that someone else has a Optimus 2x I'm no longer they guy with the best phone!

not necessarily true.....I was dying for a replacement for my Diamond, when the EVO finally came around.....and even then, we were running Sense 2.5 ROMs.....it would depend what comes next, but I'm in no hurry to upgrade

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
when i got bored with my evo, i switched roms, stopped using sense, and started using launcher pro. maybe you can get a different UI and it will feel like a different phone

Rumors of evo 2 have started

I'm not gonna hide it, I cant wait... anyone else?

Re: Any1 else tired of their HTC EVO?
 
Yeah still loving my Evo but dual core sounds great. I don't get how you can get bored just root and flash everytime u want something new. I've been through like 3 Rom this week! Currently on myn's Warm Z and I am completely amazed! Check it out its got Sense 2.0 so you get a taste of official HTC newness lol. I honestly dont even miss my 4G or hdmi. 4G is still relatively impractical in Columbus, OH were i live imo and I only use hdmi on occasion especially since ive been playing with various wireless streaming options. There's so much development for the Evo its hard to get bored. Hands down the best phone I've ever had. I had a week or so before it dropped and imo its still one of the best if not the best phone out and at 8 months old thats amazing!

Nope , Nothing that is a game changer has come out . Still rocking the EVO and enjoying every minute of it .

yankees45us 03-04-2011 11:16 AM

The only thing that will replace my evo is an evo 2 or a dual core htc android phone with better graphics than the epic. I like the epic but I like htc sense better which is why I stick with the evo.
