HTC EVO 3D is coming to Sprint soon.

Unless you need a keyboard, I would probably go with the Evo.

The only real +'s that the Epic has is the 5 row keyboard and the better screen quality (and slightly overall better hardware). Idk about the Evo Shift, but 5row>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>4row keyboard, that's a fact, but it's still better than no keyboard I guess?

I would kill for a fully functional CM7 right now -_- at least the Epic is getting there

Thank god... people found a fix for the TB to get 3g with LTE down >.> lol was freeking out wondering why I had 1x all day.

If anyone cares, the reason it does not default to 3g with LTE4g down its because the TB(and my guess other 4g phones that are hitting shelves soon) all use a dedicated 3g network so they get data + calling power at the same time and that is down as well.

The real funny part of all this is that Verizon just came out and said they are impressed at how few speed bumps they hit with LTE. Oh joy to funny. I hope they no whats wrong or that it was planed for the new ones starting soon maybe.

If anyone is in the same boat as me this is the fix.

Spoiler: show

As most are aware both the LTE network and eHPRD are down (a special version of 3G for the Thunderbolt only). To get 3G data back you just need to change your settings back to the normal 3G network. Here are the steps:

Dial ##778# and hit send

A pop-up window named EPST will show up giving you 2 choices: View Mode and Edit Mode. Pick: Edit Mode.
Enter the Password: 000000
Go down to Modem Settings and pick “Rev A“
You’ll want to choose enable and click OK, hit the menu button and then press “Commit Modifications.”
Restart your phone and you should see 3G is working

last step (may not be required if you get 3G after restart)

dial *#*#4636#*#* then set preferred network type to CDMA auto (PRL) ---will stop phone from looking for LTE signal

I hope this helps anyone that is left in the dark by this outage.

If you are running a non-stock dialer or a rom that included a dialer it may prevent you from entering settings. Flash this zip to go back to stock dialer

For those that want instructions for after LTE is back on

These 2 steps will put you back on LTE and then put you back on the correct 3G for the Thunderbolt, when its back up.

dial *#*#4636#*#* to get LTE, set preferred network type to CDMA + LTE EvDo auto

Dial ##778# and hit send
A pop-up window named EPST will show up giving you 2 choices: View Mode and Edit Mode. Pick: Edit Mode.
Enter the Password: 000000
Go down to Modem Settings and pick “Rev A“
You’ll want to choose eHRPD and click OK, hit the menu button and then press “Commit Modifications.”

Recently went down on a trip to FL to see my mommy, and I think my phone did NOT like the car dock in the 90-100degree weather, I have a replacement phone on the way already but I now need to unroot/unmod current phone. Anyone have a good guide on how to do so? I've looked online but most use either something called "DM updater" which doesn't seem to be working anymore, or update.zips which give me error when I try to install them.
I'll continue to try to find a solution but any help is appreciated.

I need a recommendation for a good website browser. I generally like mine (whatever came stock with my phone) but whenever I'm filling out a form with a drop-down menu (like entering your date of birth by month, day, year) the browser freezes. Not sure what is out there - what do you like?

I have used DolphinHD since day one pretty much, never had any issues with it.

Or dolphin mini

DolphinHD is my favorite browser for Android by far. I gave Firefox a spin since it would be nice to have everything synced between my laptop and my phone, but it's interface feels archaic for the mobile platform compared to Dolphin.

firefox has a lot of work to get it up to par. Its nice what they are doing with it and will see where it goes from here.

+1 to DolphinHD

If you guys were picking up a Verizon phone within the next few days to month tops, what would you get?

Droid2? Incredible2? Thunderbolt? Galaxy/Facinate?

Sister broke her phone, friends mom's is busted so he's giving her his original rooted droid and getting a new one out of it. Both like keyboards.

[dejet]

If you need a keyboard its the Droid 2 global or nothing.

If your in 4g area loom at the TB. If HD don't mind rooting you can make the TB rock.

Google I/O is happening right now.

I'm watching

3.1 and Ice Cream Sandwich announced, Google releasing its iTunes app for Windows with a large selection of music/movies, Android phones can do USB host now... like you can plug 360 controller etc

6:29 pm "Of course, it will show all of my local music. But there's one awesome difference. This syncs to the cloud, meaning I'll never have to sync with a cable again." Are you listening to this Apple? Of course you are.

6:34 pm "To start, we're announcing that devices from these partners will get new updates for 18 months after the devices are launched, provided the hardware can support it." Interesting...

Oh shit guys. New stock music player is fire. Just downloaded it and submitted my request for Music Beta. Fucking winning right now.

Omg man... Having space on my phone for music is going to be irrelevant. Thats amazing.

[sruon]

6:52 pm "It's thinner and lighter than you ever imagined. This will launch in about a month or so. It's not available to anyone yet... with one exception. Thanks to Samsung, all 5000 of you are getting one today!"

... , that alone pays the ticket, seriously must go next year.

[Kurokikaze]

Yeah. I said the same thing to my friend. Definitely gonna try to get a ticket for next year. ;/

Last year they gave out EVO 4Gs before they were available iirc.
