I'm a former Pre owner that recently jumped to the Evo 3D. I have a little bit of a love/hate thing going for the phone right now. Battery life and call quality/reception are not great so far, but web browsing is excellent, and wifi and bluetooth are also very good. I'm considering jumping ship for a Photon, but my biggest hesitation is about Wifi and BT. I rely on these constantly. If Wifi is even a slight issue, I won't switch to the Photon. After seeing several posts here about Wifi, I'm very concerned. So tell me, how many of you are having Wifi issues? How often and how bad? Are you toggling a lot? Rebooting? Thanks in advance for your help!
You've convinced me - I made the switch and am really liking the Photon much more than the EVO 3d. Thanks to everyone for their votes in the poll!
For me, WiFi has never been an issue and I've had my Photon since day 1. My wifi says on 24/7 w/3G kicking in when I'm away from wifi- which is when I leave my street. My sister lives across the street from me and when I decided I wanted a newer router, I gave her my old one leaving all settings the same so I'm outside and closer to her house, my phone will connect to her SSID. I have 2 other neighbors whose wifi I'm also connected too which is why I say I am barely ever out of range of a signal. N S E & W of me is wifi so I'm fortunate in that regard.
As far as BT, the jury is still out on that. I'm down to one pair of BT headset and when I connected it w/the Photon, I could barely hear anything. I don't want that to impact negatively since it could just be the headset thats gone to crap. I won't know until I get another one.
Since there were so many issues regarding proximity sensor and missed calls, I took the advice I came across and uncheck "in-pocket protection" and since doing that, I haven't had either of these issues any more.
I also had the EVO 3D and returned it faster than you can say boo! That phone never did feel like an upgrade to me and it had more issues that I wasn't willing to suffer thru 30 days w/ Nor wait on a "fix."
