EVO LTE or Galaxy S3

I have 2 EVO LTE's on 2 lines of service. I'd had to replace 4 of them for them jus quitting or not able to use texts. I want to try the S3. I'd like other users of the phones to give me their opinion on which they prefer & why.
Sprint is trying to work with me on a replacement.

"provided by Apple" I mean

Zagg HD on EVO LTE

On my EVO LTE my screen goes black during a call. I've read the proximity sensor can be covered by screen protectors. BB installed the Zagg HD on my phone. Android Central says some of the early screen protectors covered the proximity sensor. Anyone had that issue?

Issue is still not fixed. I had BB put a new protector on that Zagg sent me, still the screen goes dark. It happened without a protector on the phone. BB says it's working normal, same from HTC. The screen is designed to come on when it's moved from your face, mine isn't, i need the keyboard so the screen has to come on to use the keyboard. I'm on my 2nd phone so BB won't exchage it again.

HTC EVO LTE Pre-Order quesstions...

Since the launch date changed, I'm wondering if these promotions still apply and can be used together. At least as long as your EVO LTE was pre-ordered...
$50 Guaranteed Trade-In value for an EVO 4G.
$50 savings when you trade-in and purchase a Sprint phone with activation

Yeah you should be able to get both... I preordered and got $50 preorder gift card, $50 EVO trade in and $50 Phone Freedom gift card as well.... and then I used $90 in reward zone cash I had so after all was said and done I basically MADE $40 to get my new EVO..

EVO 4G LTE vs Galaxy s3

Anyone know which camera works better for 1080p video?

I just had that problem and I powered down the phone and took the sim card out. Then I turned the phone on without the card and powered down. After that, I re-inserted the sim card and powered up and I got 4g back and has been working for a few hrs now. I'm hoping that this is not going to be a recurrence because this phone will quickly become a flying object.

EVO LTE connection issues

I found this interesting. I'm having problems with connection on my phone. I had a EVO Shift, no connection issus.
After pointing out our own findings as well as the forum complaints, Sprint communications manager Natalie Papaj replied, “We are aware of the issue and are currently investigating it. I will keep you posted as I know more.”
This is on http://www.techhive.com/article/2000138/htc-evo-4g-lte-signal-woes-confirmed.html

These are indeed hardware limitations so flashing new software won't solve anything unfortunately.
There are different versions of the Z3+ intended for different markets (different bands). The Xperia Z3+ dual/E6533 supports the following bands:
GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV), 1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I) MHz TD-LTE (Band 38, 39, 40, 41) FDD-LTE (Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20)
If your operator uses these bands there shouldn't be any issues.

I figure the new round of CES 2015 phones will be arriving shortly.

EVO LTE battery life

My phones battery life is horrible! It went from fully charged to approx 1/3 in 6hrs on standby. I thought it had better battery life.

Oh, sorry I thought you meant you simply had the WiFi radio turned on, I agree with the above statement, but of course any usage of data, WiFi/3G/LTE drains it a heck of a lot faster than just using your calculator app
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Tips and Reviews of the HTC EVO 4G LTE

I am starting this thread for those that are starting to recieve their 4G LTE.
If you have your EVO LTE already and want to share your reviews, or any tips you have already found, please do so. That way we can all help each other again.

I don't think they know... I am betting HTC had the Sprint shipments move to the front of the line and they got the first batches of phones that cleared customs... I read somewhere that they test one phone from every box/case shipped in before clearing them. All I know is my preorder with Best Buy still says back ordered and the preauthorization on my credit card is gone now (but those usually go away in 10 days anyway) but since Sprint isn't taking any more orders right now and no one else has them in stock all you can do is WAIT.... Sucks but I bet no one at Best Buy knows a true date and they don't want people to start canceling...

HTC Evo 4g LTE preorder

I was wondering if anyone had any updates about the Evo Lte preorder for Bestbuy. Sprint has already started their preorder as of 5 min from now. I have bought my last 3 phones from Bestbuy because I love their BlackTie protection and buyback program. I have been waiting 2 years to upgrade my original evo and do not want to take a chance on firstcomefirstserve. I remember the first Evo was on backorder for months for the folks that didnt preorder. If I dont get any info from BB soon , I will have to preorder from Sprint.

Yes, these two offers can be combined with each other. Thank you.

Very slow LTE for a month in 22033 zip code (or is it my house??)

I'm a long time VzW customer and always had great connectivity and speed.
last month or so though LTE speed has been TERRIBLE. I can't get above 0.20Mbps download and even less up!
at first I thought it was my device, a Galaxy Note 2, but when I was recently in NJ it registered 39.29 down and 13.93 up.
I Returned home and tried out my LTE ipad and my wife's LTE Samsung Galaxy S5 Had the same very slow speeds.
what gives VZW? At this rate I may have to try AT&T...

Well, my theory is simple: My phone is set to lock to a weak XLTE over a stronger LTE much like my last phone connected to 4G over a stronger 3G signal. They say you only get pushed over to XLTE in congested areas. My area is 2 blocks off of the major main streets and business areas. So, I think I'm in the fringe XLTE area and given my location and city, I have one of the few XLTE ready phones at the moment (around here) and that's why I get pushed over to the weaker, but less congested band. So, right now, having an incompatible-with-XLTE phone would be faster, ironically.

Activation fee for trading in faulty phones?

I was going to try and trade in my EVO LTE for the Galaxy but my 30 days will probably be up before Best Buy has stock for trade in. I realize if I switched phones I would have to pay an additional activation fee. But is there an additional fee if you have a faulty phone that you are replacing with the same phone?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello shadowhawk2020,
If you're looking to return your Evo LTE for any reason, we ask that you do it with in the first 30 days (45 days for Reward Zone Premier Silver members). Once the 30 day return period has expired, we would need to work with your manufacturer to repair any defects under it's warranty.
I would recommend stopping by the mobile desk at your local Best Buy for help before the return period is up.
Cheers,

Is Verizon's old unlimited plan really TRULY unlimited?

My friend just got a 4G LTE Smartphone (Galaxy Nexus) and was able to keep his previous unlimited plan. He wants to know if its truly unlimited. His parents are on AT&T have their unlimited plans are throttled after becoming the 5% of the heaviest data users. He wants to download a couple HD 1080p movies online which are quite large. So basically lets say he used 50GB in two days, could Verizon cancel his service or throttle him if he's on 4G? I know they do with 3G but how about 4G?

Thanks. Look like I found my answer.
Does Network Optimization apply to customers using 4G services?
No. We reserve the right to include 4G LTE users later, but right now this only applies to the top 5% of users with unlimited data plans using 3G devices. If you have a 4G LTE device you will not be affected at this time.

Upcoming New Verizon Phones

LGVN280 — LG Extravert 2
LGVN170 – Not Known Yet.
LG VS876 lucid 3, LG Optimus Zone 2,LG Optimus Exceed 2, and LG Extravert 2 should be available very soon.

The common rumored devices to release in the next 2 months are:
Dual Core 1.2 Ghz LTE phones
Galaxy Nexus - Galaxy phone with newest software (ICS) - Looks to be an amazing phone with out of this world bells and whistles in the new google software.
Moto Razr - Great phone 4.3" screen, thinnest phone on the market, kevlar body for durability
HTC Rezound??? - Forget the name, but is supposed to be optimized for music with a comparable screen / processor to the other two.
Rumors place them all at $300 with a contract. If you can wait until end of November at least the first 2 should be out by then and if you aren't opposed to paying $300 these phones will all be significantly superior to what is currently available. The Nexus is my choice.

4G LTE service on a galaxy 10.1 tablet

I have a Galaxy tab 10.1 with 4G LTE. When at work I am in a Verizon 4G LTE Extended service area. The problem, I am dropped from the network and cannot get a good signal(1 or 2 bars). I have a galaxy 3 that connects via 3g with a full signal. If it would help, is there anyway to switch to 3G on the Tablet?

I've been dealing with this same issue for four months now. I live in a 3G only area. After the ICS update, my tablet lost all 3G connectivity. 4G works fine. I am now on my fourth tablet to "resolve the issue." Of course, the fourth tablet isn't working under 3G. We've tried a new SIM card, and that didn't change anything either. I've also been connected through to Samsung service reps, and they can't resolve the issue. It is always the same answer. "Send in your tablet an we will check it for technical issues and send your repaired tablet or a refurbished tablet." Rinse and repeat. I am very tired of this issue. Since the tablet can't connect to the network, it's battery runs down fast. The tablet in general performs poorly without the Verizon network connection. This device is worthless to me. To make matters worse, I will have to spend ten dollars a month for the next sixteen months or so on a line and device that are not functioning.
