[Q] EVO 4g LTE or Galaxy Nexus?? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys i need some help deciding. I am upgrade eligible in June just in time to get the new EVO on launch day. But i dont know if i should get that or the Galaxy Nexus. Here are my thoughts...
EVO
Pros
Sprint flagship phone, hopefully meaning fast updates and large dev community
sligtly better specs including S4 which is a monster from what i understand
the option to run Sense 4.0 or an AOSP rom
kickstand?
Cons
Non-Removable battery
not the most aesthetically pleasing phone
Galaxy Nexus
Pros
its a nexus.... gaurenteed updates
removable battery
Cons
not the top of the spec pile

There is a few threads already.. from the gist of it, it really comes down to user preference. I would wait until galaxy s3 is announced before making a decision.
Gnex- you will get latest software updates fast..
Evo lte - you'll eventually get aosp roms.. but newer hardware, better build quality, etc..
Play with both at the Sprint store

Gnex for openess and updates and no manufacture restriction.
Evo for "hardware" and "build quality" and restrictions and very timely updates and less developer support.
I'm getting the gnex simply because its better. The evo has no removeable battery.. that's a big no no. It has a snapdragon which is closed architecture... which means it limits the developers on android and open source OS. Htc's build is great but their super lcd is non comparable to a samoled. Really all personal preference but from my stand point an htc is not a real option.
Oh yeah LEARN HOW TO USE THE SPACE BAR MY GOD.

GS3 > GNexus > Evo LTE in a software/nerd point of view. If you are not planning on rooting/getting lots of development, get the evo.

GS3 will get more updates and have better HW and development than the EVO but the evo will have sense which people like.

From what I've seen it will not have that s4 but the exynos. At least I hope...samsung wouldn't be proprietary.

For my mom who knows nothing about development and could care less about rooting her phone, I'm getting the Evo. She really just wants her phone to work and I think the Evo is more sturdily built.
For myself, I'm waiting for the SGS3 or better yet, the next Nexus that will be based off it. Not in a huge hurry to update, cause I still love my OG Epic and it does everything I need it to for now.
So, basically, it depends on you.

Meh, It's been awhile for my tablet (Galaxy Tab 10.1) to receive official ICS. And they have a new device out with the same hardware and ICS. After they release new products, they forget about the old ones even if they're the exact same hardware.

Good purchase at this time?

Is this a good purchase right now? In the situation i'm in if I don't get this phone I will be stuck with my nexus s for 2 years so might as well get a new phone for the 2 years. Also do you guys think this will get CM9? Thanks.!

This phone is getting CM9 eventually. Cyanogen's update said it was coming after the international version s2 one rolls out.
Yo bro this is the best phone T-Mobile has believe me u won't be disappointed grab it. And yes we will get cm9 after the exynos devices. snapdragon is next and devices alike and were in this category
CM9 will come. This device is the top 3 devices out right now, and will still be relevant after a year or more.
short answer: yes
I took advantage of the FAR V-day sales last week. I was tempted to wait for the Galaxy Nexus, but it seem T-Mo is always the last one to get any decent phones. Since my Nexus One was showing its age, I ordered the GS2 and renewed a 2yr contract. I figured as long as the hw is capable of running custom ROM's, it really doesn't matter if it's the Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S2.

you're correct, but the apq8060 and msm8X60 are pretty much the same thing.
i believe the difference is radio integration, but i don't know for sure.

ROTFL-COPTR dude.
By the time CM9 comes out, many other phones that are far better than the GS2 will be out, including the GS3.
If you really want CM, get a phone that supports it initially.
What phones would that be?

No we definitely need the drivers that's why we need Samsung to drop ics. Because building drivers from scratch is no easy task. It can be done but will take a while. That is why a lot of devs rather wait for that it will make life that much easier when compiling a rom. I know xboarder said he is building drivers tho. We need those for sound, touchscreen, and etc.. also cm prolly has already done this we will prolly see something from them before official

There was an article on rootz wiki where they interviewed cyanogen. he said they are waiting for drivers as well and this is what is delaying cm9 official builds.

Why Sprint always gets way fewer roms than ATT and Tmobile?

Why Sprint always gets way fewer roms than ATT and Tmobile?
I had original Epic and Epic Touch on Sprint and we always get fewer roms and last to get updates is there a reason for this?Seams like Tmobile has the most roms and Att is not too far behind it,is it because we are on cdma?If so do Verizon got slow development too,or is it just Sprint?
GSM is easier to develop with, open source. Rest of the world uses GSM. If international version gets development then generally it can be easily ported to a US GSM variant
Btw CDMA is closed source

OG epic is official cm9 supported, and E4GT has good ICS roms (better than evo 3d in the early stages). Just took so long to release kernel source for ICS.

I know i have both Epics,those CM8/9 are nowhere near daily driver and been in development forever,it will take at least another six months for them to be stable.And latest FF18 ota update that Sprint released today for Epic Touch is a joke and buggy,plus we already had buggy FF18 leak for months now,and that is what they call ota?At least they released ics source for EpicTouch-that is something other carriers did not get,probably did it to make up for such late ics ota.
Sometimes i visit Droid and Evo forums and they have so many unique and different roms and rom ports.Xperia ui,Sense,Acer Breeze ui ports-that's just to name a few.So it cant be because we are on cdma,because Droid's and Evo's are too.

Why don't you look in there dev forum and look for yourself? Not trying to be an asshole but seems like an easy solution. And development version or not it's still lacking official CM9 support at this time.
Also consider less people have sprint as there provider, att and Verizon have more customers.
Also the og Evo was given away ag Google io conference that year, so a bunch of people, many devs, got bit for free.

From what I understand, the Evo 3D had horrible development. The OG Evo had amazing development mostly because it was the Google I/O phone, and it had so much new technology that devs really wanted a crack at developing new features.
The 3d had decent development until they started running off developers with childish antics. As mentioned GSM is worldwide and CDMA is not, Verizon is in limbo as far as I can tell with customers and developers with this locked boot loader crap and developer phone price tag.
From the thread made about Verizon and their locked phone, there are a lot of pissed off people who may jump ship or just send the phone back to Verizon. Most don't have an extra $600 + dollars laying around for a new phone and they won't get what they want for their already used s3. Sprint has some decent developers on board including Myn IMHO.
Maybe the lack of sufficient data speeds? :silly:
Sprint phones require special CDMA versions of winZip.
And there's a supply shortage, so we are all still waiting for our pre-orders to arrive.

I tried the evo lte for a few weeks and I exchanged it for the s3 just the other day. I don't regret it, I had the og evo for 2 years! I do think the evo has a few things better than s3, but if u add it all up, s3 wins out IMHO. Just my 2 cents

Honestly, I remember back in the Epic 4G days when Samsung had the reputation that they did not support their devices, but it appears they've changed their attitude and now they're releasing updates like mad, even more efficiently than HTC is (at least for CDMA-based devices.)
If this is true, then the Samsung devs in charge of CDMA development will start porting it over to our devices. Perhaps we'll see RDFs in the next few days?

I had an Epic as well and it seemed like Samfirmware was our only hope. I share your sentiments and look forward to any changes Samsung is willing to make with regards to device updates.
I'm from the OG Epic as well (from its release to the s3 release); It is really refreshing to see them pushing out the updates for this phone!!
I too am from the OG Epic. People continuously blamed Samsung for the slow updates for it when in reality rdfs were being generated and test releases sent to Sprint almost daily and within weeks of the international update. I think the less intrusive touchwiz allows for faster updating. So hopefully we will see some rdfs reported soon.

Also a fellow OG Epic user ... boy I miss that phone (still drooling over that keyboard), but also love my GSIII. Nice to have the OG Epic family reunited here. If Samsung releases a 4.2 update for the GSIII in the near future, I'll take back all the bad things I said about them
hah what are the chances that 4.2 gets released before the s4 marketing train comes rolling through town

That's because this phone is available for all major carriers. The Epic was only for Sprint thus Samsung relied on Sprint to advertise who decided to push the Evo instead.

What was the wifi bug? Just curious because I've never run into issues with wifi.

just traded a sprint gs3 for a sprint optimus g

i think it was a fair trade.
i first had a iphone 4s and swapped for a s3 swapped for a evo lte then swapped back for a gs3 and today swapped for a optimus g.
i might have the order a little screwed but either way if this phone gets a solid development group its definitely a keeper. For now

Rumor has it that jelly bean is right around the corner at which time ROM development should really kick into high gear.
I have zero ROM-making skill so my hat goes off to those that do. Thanks for making my phone awesome.

I came from the evo 4g that I had for the last two years that I flashed a new rom every other week so the phone upgrade is awesome but the support is discouraging almost enough to make me go to the s3 or note 2. I'll wait and see what JB brings.
You got the better end of that deal, IMHO

I am in the same boat as you, I have had the evo, nexus, and evo lte. All had great development. Almost feel like switching to s3 for development purposes.

Sometimes I think developing is overrated. Most ROM feel and look the same. I rather have a small community of developing then a large one full of copy cats ROM.
The hardware and built of this phone is just top notch and I refuse to downgrade over anything currently available.
Give me a CM10 ROM give me a stock rooted ROM and give me a stock with Mod ROM and I'm happy.

This exactly it for me and the reason that I went with the LGOG. I really enjoy the interaction that the Mopho devs brought to our very underutilized device and have faith that they can do the same here. I don't know of another device that can say they had functioning ports of AOKP, CM7, CM9, CM10, CM10.1 (almost), PA, Liquid Smooth, etc all by one dev.
Im about to do this today very excited
