sprint forgot about the Evo ;(

[dizzle16]

I haven't had my EVO for long but love it. My wife has nexus s and the best thing about it to me is the display. Other than that the EVO holds it's own. I'm rooted running evolved r3charged and sense 3.0 changes the game. My battery only drops when I use phone. If I have 80% power and don't use for 2hrs and pick it up its at 80% still. I personally don't plan to upgrade until a SOLID ice cream sandwich phone comes out. If you buy a photon garuntee you'll want something else in 6 months. Wait for a "game changer" is my advice. The Samsung gx2 is close but with the holidays approaching you guys know bigger and better is coming. The EVO was a game changer. Its a safe bet at least until the new year

I completely agree with u man. I wish the internal memory was a bit bigger but I can hold out for a while till some good devices start coming. Hoping for a quad core device for Sprint.

Cyanogenmod lets you force any app to SD.

 

[vulcan001]

Sorry my mistake i meant the ram. Internal memory doesnt really matter much to me. I need more ram & a bigger processor. I always want faster response.

 

[Krasin]

I heard ya, though this is honestly the first phone I won't mind having for two years I think and by then maybe we'll have some Kal-El love.

 

[vulcan001]

Yeah same here i dont mind having it. It does wonders already but im always wanting so much more out of hardware... Hopefully kal-el brings us some game changers to sprint. Dont let us down now Nvidia & HTC of course... Btw i was reading up on kal-el & there was a graph showing the layout of it & the article mentioned that there was a concealed 5th core?

 

[Krasin]

Yeah, it is suppose to function almost like underclocking does to save battery except it works on the hardware level so there doesn't need to be any special coding in Android for it to work.

Edit for readability

 

[vulcan001]

Yeah i did read on that. But either way when i get a new phone i always tend to buy an extended battery for it to be able to make it through a day.

 

[Krasin]

Yeah, I will as well seeing how fantastic this 3500 one is. I'll never go back to having to battery manage if I can help it.

 

[vulcan001]

Yeah. But for now i just hope devs continue to pull out the inner monster of the evo keeping it on top of its game.

 

[Krasin]

Yeah, I'm glad the devs for the Evo are committed. I have no fear of not getting ICS.

 

[vulcan001]

Yeah same here cos if they werent well thatd just wouldnt be all that great. But id still keep the phone. Haha. I agree with you since ive been thinking about ICS but im not all that excited on it anymore.

 

[Krasin]

One thing I'm hoping for is hardware acceleration. Since it's in honeycomb it'll probably be in ICS for phones as well and I can't help but feel that that'll make the UI that much souther.

 

[vulcan001]

Yeah that would seriously be a plus on the EVO. Yeah for sure it will prolly be alot smoother. We just gotta wait for a few more months tops to get the results in & see how it works.

 

[Krasin]

I'm hoping more along the lines of waiting a few weeks. Didn't Google announce Gingerbread in October last year?

 

[vulcan001]

Yeah. I believe they did. Heres some articles on recent stuff on how google is prepping devs for ics & some info on the Q4 thing on how theyre gonna release it alongside with the Google Nexus Prime.

Google offers Ice Cream Sandwich guidance to Android app devs

Schmidt: Ice Cream Sandwich to be unwrapped in October or November

 

[Krasin]

We can only wait and watch...

 

[vulcan001]

Absolutely.

 

[Dtone]

I am seeing this new version of Android market out there, I have never got an update. Mine is 2.3.4 on evo 4g.
Am I missing something or is the Evo not included??

 

[tarn451]

I hope we will be able to receive more updates for our phones.

 

[xtn]

This is what I don't understand....The devs can come up with all this great stuff for the phone but HTC and/or Sprint can't or won't, all they come up with is excuses as to why they can't do it.

It's because their business revenue requires lots of us to churn through phones every year. What is it exactly that you don't understand?
