What would you like to see from the EVO2

[ace_spades]

I've been running cyanogen mod and through an eight hour work day with heavy usage...(twitter, fb, tapatalk, web browsing) I usually get home and my battery is still at 38 percent

Yeah I can get like 2 days out of mine if I don't turn 4G on (running Sprint Lovers). I went all weekend with light to moderate usage a while back.

Most of the time I leave 4G on though and get the standard 4-5 hours with heavy usage (web browsing, tapatalk, pandora, email, dropbox, sling player, yelp, google maps, etc).

didn't read through this entire thread but I have a friend that works for sprint and says that the evo2 is in the works but they aren't leaking any details yet.

Higher screen resolution, otherwise, this phone is excellent!

Fellas,


Let me put some of this to sleep.

As a Sprint Technician I can safely say, and with most corresponding emails, internal docs, and a few upcoming conferance webcasts this month and next

that Apple and Sprint have not reached any agreements whatsoever to carry the iPhone on our network.

In fact, whatever we are unveiling next month is to help us get business in the door over the CDMA iPhone because we aren't carrying it.

Not only that, but these goals seem long term as well, possibly because Apple simply does not want to make a 3rd version (or 2nd when they move to the new circuit boards that support the new qualcomm hybrid GSM/CDMA chips that both AT&T and Verizon iPhone5 will be handling) because again...we are apparantly not in talks to carry any version of the iPhone.

Another slap in the face (or clue) as to us possibly partnering more with Android now than anything since we are not getting an iPhone is that our once partner Palm is about to launch some devices, and the leaks are now coming out about those devices, and they are both for Verizon and AT&T with no Sprint 3g or 4g options being leaked. That tells me that our bridges were possibly burned from one side or the other with Palm/HP...otherwise why would Sprint not get a WebOS device since it was launched on our network to begin with?

The EVO line is basically the Droid line for Sprint...I see it progressing on, possibly with the Feb 7th announcement. I also predict (this is not from any inside info I know of, just a personal feeling) that Clear is in REAL trouble right now...either Sprint watches them crash and burn and we lose our 4G service altogether (which would kill us IMHO), or we see them buckle under, and pick up the equipment in liquidation, move it to our network towers, and in the process firmware update those suckers to LTE, so that when Apple Comes around next year or the year after with CDMA/LTE iPhone 6 or 7, we have moved into a position Apple see's better for them to offer it at that point.

Upgrading to WiMax 2 keeps us out of the iPhone future roll outs as well, as I just don't see Apple jumping on the Wimax bandwagon.

Again, that last part of my statement is all speculation by me, no way is this what Sprint is thinking, just my crappy business sense trying to wake up for a moment of clarity, if it was the way I'd see it go down...but I'm around 99.9999% sure we aren't carrying or testing iPhone equipment on any part of our network. In fact, I think we are kinda bummed and are now trying to take measures in saving face that we aren't in line next to get it, so we are carrying on stronger with our Google, Android, and HTC partnerships instead.

One thing I am personally thinking for sure though is...Verizon's Droid Push is about to get quieter and quieter, think guitar amp terms, they are at an 11 now...I'm thinking the dial goes to around 3 or 4 because John Q public is still mostly on the iPhone camp. We've certainly picked up our share of Android on them, but that could be more due to availability on people's personally favorite carriers more than anything, again, I could be wrong.

Anyway my .01 cent..probably not worth much, but it sure sounds like we are kinda bummed we aren't getting an iPhone too, so we are making sure our strengths are known as a combatative and competitive way of saying...hey, no iPhone, but we are still in there...check out or Android EVO stuffs.

I'm an android guy through and through, this platform is where I'd always hoped windows mobile would go, but instead they stagnated and then decided to turn face and do the WP7 thing instead.

Once again folks, my comments are just that, mostly my opinion, take them all with a grain of salt, I only work at the company as a tech and have only been around 6 yrs, some would consider that still being a newbie (even though I now have 16 yrs in the business from various other carriers including former GTE which is now Verizon).

Nite and thanks for letting me spew forth some drivel.

Please spew more often!

You have any insight on this?

 

[Bills_Evo4G]

Well he did say it was his opinion. I will say this, no offence but unless your in the top executive staff or upper management you are just speculating.

The upper management is not going to release this kind of information to some Joe

@TheNexxuvas - Thanks, spew more often. A little knowledge can be dangerous, but I prefer posts that are seemingly based on an educated background over those that are....obviously not.

 

[Youssef7]

I think Sprint will need the Iphone. All those people that switched from Verizon to Sprint will now switch back for the Iphone. Im talking about non phone geeks like me lol..

Lets use My gf for example.. her family switched from Verizon to Sprint last summer and they all got pixies.(noobs should of got the pre =p). Now I showing her my New EVO (I switched from pre) and she said she likes it but rather wait till the EVO 2 or whatever is next. Months later Iphone get announced for Verizon... now let me say she is a crazy itouch lover so she would love a iphone. She said if sprint dosnt get the iphone5 or whatever it will be called she would prob switch over in year.

Lets not lie to our selfs Iphone brings people to your company and sprint was right up Verizon ass almost laping it in phones but now Verizon just got a new engine and tuned there way into the Iphone way.. Verzions 4G is almost every where and it just started..

I would want a couple of things

-Better battery life
-New Sense
-Fix for Messaging snafu
-Better touch screen tech for faster and more efficient multi touch capabilities
-Dual Core!!!!!! (but only if I can get greater battery life from it)
-Faster reboot (and I mean the amount of time that it takes to be booted and 100% ready not kinda ready)
-Pixel density being increased if possible
-I DON'T want the kickstand to disappear I love it
-Super LCD screen if possible (I don't like the Super Amoled screen)

 

[AlphaTango414]

I would like to see longer battery life and more internal memory. Other than that I don't have an issue with the evo now. Granted that im rooted but again im not tech savy so im not sure how much better these phones can get.

Also one other thing I would like to see is sprints 4g service in more areas. Im in Portland about 30 miles north of Nashville. You can get 4g in Nashville but 10 miles out side of Nashville is a non 4g area. Now since Verizon released lte with a tower in Nashville it reaches white house that is about 25 miles north of Nashville.

Sprint was the first with 4g but to me they have taken that huge head start and feel way behind IMO.

+1........those were just my thoughts as well......well stated

"but I prefer posts that are seemingly based on an educated background over those that are....obviously not."

FYI, in case you are wondering, which judging by your judgement of me and your obvious rude comment, I have an English Degree from Texas, so...the fact that you believe me to not have an educated background just because I decided to be a Sprint Tech is rather ignorant on your part.

In fact, I do this job for the involvment in Wireless tech. I also now have a computer degree and build Gaming PC's and also repair PC's out of my own shop. So the Sprint job is like icing on the cake for me. It keeps me working with small electronics in a really fun environment.

I'm sure no one really cares, it's the internet, anyone can say anything, and opinions are like a certain body part, everyone has one, but I was just putting a employee from the bottoms spin on it. All correspondance I receive are things like "no iphone, no worries". When you see a piece of internal document stating that, and then read what its about, it leaves you with the feeling that Sprint is not going to be carrying the iPhone, and thus it's the first thing I pointed out in the start of my post.

Don't like my opinionated info from things I read at work, then don't read them. In fact I'll help you out, I'll spend the rest of my time here on AC in complete silence, read only mode, and when I see someone who needs help with something I know about, I'm not going to step in, because your post clearly shows me that offering insight, and maybe a little help around here, specially from a Sprint aspect, isn't wanted or needed.

Fine by me, I have other things to do, and other Android websites out there
that don't mind me giving a bit of advice or so since I do work for Sprint.

Everyone calm down all opinions are welcome here so let's all act like the happy Android lovers we all know we are.

Screw the iPhone,
