Switched to s3 from Evolte

**gruppe3942#AC** · 06-21-2012, 10:00 PM

Wow, I must say that so far I am suprisingly very impressed with the s3. I must say....so far...very happy that i made the switch.
I think I am more shocked than anything about how impressed I am....

My thoughts exactly... I knew that I'd be happy with it, having owned an SII for quite a while and really enjoying it. But wow...this phone is amazing, especially after the EVO LTE.

touch wiz actually seems closer to stock android than sense ui. Most would probably disagree but I find it actually very refreshing.

**gruppe3942#AC** · 06-21-2012, 11:14 PM

oh and I love the physical HOME button!

**criffaaa1** · 06-21-2012, 11:22 PM

glad to see the switch turned out to be positive now I can't wait to get mine!

Me too will be exchanging the evo lte for the gs3 once I get my BB preorder hopefully tomorrow. Find the evo too lagy responding when you hit any screen, app or menu. Not as smooth as my previous epic 4g touch gs2.

My biggest dissappointment with the EVO was the multitasking. It was a let down.

**stockkid07** · 06-22-2012, 12:44 AM

Completely agree. Multitasking was horrible and was so laggy with sense. This gs3. Wowwwww. First of all recent apps goes on forever. Literally will never end. And the lagg is nearly none. Most noticeable is when pushing the home button. But that's because the system waits to see if you will hit it again to activate s voice. home button. What can I say. I actually don't mind it. Has a nice feel n seems very solid. definitely a worthy successor to the s2. Specially with 2 gig of ram. Wow. amazing.

Besides the screen and presumably the built in kick stand do you miss anything about the Evo. I'm debating making the switch and can use all the input I can get.

I haven't seen the screen yet, but as far as the kickstand (which I knew I was going to miss as well coming from the EVO 4G) you can order a case with an embedded stand.

**Uncle Louie** · 06-22-2012, 10:19 AM

The only thing that I thought I would miss about the EVO LTE would have been the build quality, but after holding my S3...not even a factor. This thing is great.

And I know that the EVO has a better screen... But I actually like this one more for some reason.

You probably already know this but disabling S-Voice will eliminate this lag.

I spent 2 weeks with the HTC EVO LTE 4G, the one I had, had problems with 3G data and receiving calls. The screen was better on the EVO, and I miss the kickstand. I prefer the intergration of sense, so far, but that maybe because of using nothing but EVO's since they came out. The SG3 is its equal in many other ways, and so far bests it in a few others.
The multitasking is far superior to the EVO. I also prefer the HTC keyboard.
The multitasking on the EVO is disapointing, if you can get past that, you can't go wrong with either phone.
All in all, I think the SG3 does what it suposed to do smoother and as it was meant to be done, better than the EVO.

I sent in my Pre order for a White 32GB today. Im in my 2nd week on the EVO LTE...not real impressed. Ive been through HTC Hero, HTC EVO, HTC EVO3D, HTC EVO SHIFT, Moto Photon, now HTC EVO LTE...on to my first Samsung

Yes, the screen is better on the evo but I donth regret the switch. The screen is still beautiful and I don't really notice the pentile screen. I have owned every evo which was made but I'm very impressed and satisfied wwith the s3 .

I loved the feel of the Evo but I like the s3 more !

How's the 3g reception and call quality on the s3 compared?

**Mercury81** · 06-22-2012, 07:39 PM

Just my observation here and seeing the number of phones that each individual has owned in a short time it's almost like a jumping ladder for phones.I realize that there's more likeable functions from each of the different phones, but seriously I could not jump through four different phones in two years. It just makes me truly wonder of its a true issue our just a phone jumping addiction that most are suffering from. Just sayin...:beer:

The EVO LTE that I had, I believe was defective. It would repeatedly not find a 3G data signal unless I did a reset. Then the final straw was that it wasn't receiving calls for a whole day. 2 calls to sprint and they couldn't resolve the problem, thats when I took the phone back. BB asked if I wanted another, I paused, thought about the multitasking problem, the many times where the HTC took forever for the home screen to load and the hype about the SG3. I then said no and here I am with a SG3, so far no regrets.
Oh yeah, your question.... No problems with 3g reception and the call quality is great. The EVO had good call quality when it worked.

Go into s voice settings and turn off the double tap button and that will make hitting your home button quicker. S voice and Siri are gimmicks that I won't waver use. If I need it, can find s voice in app drawer.
