Loving it just as I've loved my Evo 4g and Evo 3D.

I ditched Sprint (and therefore this new Evo) and went to the GNex (using a T-mobile sim).

I was not happy with the Evo's design, and excited to get a cheaper phone plan and vanilla android.

However, there will always be a part of me that will miss the upgrade loop of the latest phones.

I am not trolling or looking to compare the Evo to the GNex. I am genuinely curious about how much people like their new Evos.

You should try simple mobile.

It's 40 bucks a month for unlimited everything on the t mobile network.

I'm very happy with mine. For anyone thinking of getting one, just keep in mind that as with all things, more people will take the time to complain than to praise.

[The Hustleman]

I tried it. The only problem with it was the BATTERY!

If you get more than 12 hours out of this battery, it's because you don't use your phone much, period.

With all the battery tweaks, I only got 12 hours!

When I used it something serious I only got 8.

I notice people who claim these incredible battery lives use most of it on standby and idle.

If you use your phone, you'll notice that the screen uses the vast majority of the battery.

Then voice.

There isn't a some good reason to put this phone into production without the ability to change the battery.

I challenge anyone to give me a good reason to her rid of the replaceable battery

Why do you need replacement battery for, do any tablets have replacement batteries? You get better life with it built in as it doesn't rely on the pin connection. If you need a hard reset just hold power, and no phone will last long if you play on it non stop. And most people don't have the time in the day to play on there phone non stop. I listen to pandora for 8 hours everyday at work and I never go below 75%. If you think a removable battery is a deal breaker you won't be upgrading to the latest phone as I'm sure they are doing away with them

It's needed because one battery simply isn't enough. If it isn't replaceable, it should at least give me a days worth of a charge. If you can't give me that much, the battery should be replaceable, period.

You don't have to play on it nonstop to kill a battery off.

At least samsung understands this. Galaxy s 3 - totally replaceable battery.

Will have a spare in the back pocket.

Hopefully samsung continues the trend

In 12 hours you're never in an area you can charge your phone? Firstly twelve hours is plenty for me since I'll usually be home at some point during that time and if I'm not for what ever reason I've got a car charger. I guess I just don't understand the need for 24 hours on these phones. Unless it's just a reason to complain.

[fkpalm]

I get around 10 hours and if I go out I have an external charger that I put in my pocket. Never seems to be a problem

Plus you can buy a $35 external battery with 300% the capacity of the phone that can charge the phone if necessary. No phone (except MAYBE the Razor Max) has a longer battery life than the Evo LTE. I was on a voice call for two hours, with bluetooth, and also doing some updating and stuff and it only used 12%! I don't use it much at work; when I get home it usually has used only 10% of the battery. For most people, this is plenty enough.

I'm very happy with my HTC EVO LTE. It's fast, thin, great screen, and I do like the Sense OS overlay. What I really like is the fantastic battery life. With my previous smartphones (Palm Pixi and Samsung Nexus S 4G), I needed to constantly charge them while driving in my car or at my office desk. But with the EVO LTE, I can use it all day, listen to Pandora streaming to my Ford My Touch system in my car for my 2+ hour drive to and from work without having to plug it in for charging. And, I still have 50% or more battery life available by the end of my day!

Sure, the 3G network speeds aren't the greatest, but they suffice for what I need now (email checking, web browsing). Sprint is suppose to have LTE running in the Seattle area later this year, and I see that as a bonus when that's working!

I have an Anker 6700 that I used every day to recharge my EVO 3D.

I've had my EVO4GLTE since May 24th and have yet to need to recharge it during the day.

I'm a heavy user and this battery life is beyond belief.

We obviously define heavy use differently.


There still hasn't been a single good reason named for why the battery can't be changed.

No excuse for it

*swyped from the evo so excuse any typos*

[The Hustleman]

Also are you all aware of the fact that a phones battery loses a good percentage of it's charge capacity after just one year?

2 year contract, 1 year battery life.....

I could never get more than 4 to 6 hours out of my 4G and 3D before recharging. I can easily get 12 hours plus from my EVO4GLTE.

For me heavy use would be about an hour of phone time, an hour of GPS app and music during my run, and about two to three hours of internet time dispersed throughout the day and evening.

I do have a family and a profession that demand a lot of my time.

How do you define heavy use, Hustleman?

Yes there has been. I have mentioned several in several postings. Having a non-removable battery improves the strength and rigidity of case, it reduces weight and size, and it keeps the phone better sealed.

I, personally, would still prefer a removable battery. But the Evo LTE has shown that it is nowhere near as important as most people thought it would be. And that for the huge majority of users, the large internal battery coupled with the excellent energy efficiency of the Evo LTE is more than sufficient. When it isn't, grab an external battery, just like you would grab a spare internal one for some other phone.

Are you aware that the Evo LTE's battery is relatively easily replaceable in less than 5 minutes by removing a few covers and two screws?

[Andras]

I love my evo. I got it launch weekend. Sure it may have a bug or two or is not a perfect product but what device or software is ....I'll tell you which one....not one of them. I'm not making excuses for sprint or HTC, just stating a fact.

People with jobs and lives don't just sit there and never let phone screen turn off.....I consider myself moderate to heavy user and I have been able to pull 14-18 hours and it gets better with light usage...and it also depends on the # of "battery killer" installed on the device....whether you have good coverage, or if your connected to WiFi most of the time.

Stats say that the avg consumer is happy with it...there always going to be people b**ching about it...just sayin

I'm eligible for my upgrade tomorrow. Still leaning towards the evo even though the multitasking issue seems so bad.

I will probably get it from best buy if they still have the free $50 gift card. Wish they had some working models. The dummy units are so stupid.

Heavy use for me is 2 hours of gaming and music on the way to work, an hour of calling on my lunch, texting throughout the day, web browsing and forum posting for a an hour on the way home, another hour of gaming, coming home and usually on the phone with a friend while playing with my kid, phone gets put down, then picked, for a total of about 2 more hours of games, then some video and picture taking in between.

I just don't see a full days charge coming from that phone. It's the reason I returned it.

Other than that, I didn't see anything wrong with it aside from that silly design with the glossy and plain black, but other than that, perfect phone.

If I could get a whole day, them the battery wouldn't be an issue, but I still say it should be replaceable.

every reason named for making it non replaceable could still be done with a replaceable battery.

Android is about options, why remove that option?

I think under guidelines a full charge with gaming would actually be about 5-6 hrs total.

Are you getting your Sprint EVP Discount?

I added all the discount programs that I'm aware of.

[geauxlsutigers]

I tried both the Galaxy S3 and the EVO LTE and decided to keep the EVO. Very happy with the EVO LTE.

[Mercury81]

Just so everyone is aware you can only receive one discount per service line. You can't use for instance military service and AAA just one or the other. Just sayin:beer:
