I'm basically a phone addict. I've had the PPC-6700, Mogul, Vogue, TP, TP2, EVO, and now EVO LTE. The EVO was the only phone that I've kept for the life of my two year contract. I'm one year into my EVO LTE and there's nothing really wrong with it other than the fact that I'm bored.
Was the upgrade worth it to you guys or now that the novelty has worn off? Let me know!
Worth it, totally. The qualcomm s600 has some balls and sense 5 is the fastest version ever

Honesty, if I didn't have an upgrade, I could have waited. I was on the evo 4g lte as well. I have 4 phone lines on my plan, so I get to upgrade every year. I was running meanbean from the start then went to sense 5. I'm sure it's even better now.
I think the biggest difference is the sound from the front facing speakers.
It is much faster, but I'm not a gamer, do that's pretty much a wash.
It is beautiful and build quality is awesome. I use cases on my phones, so that's a wash as well.
The camera is way better on the ONE as well.
If you're really deadset on upgrading, I'm sure the evo is still worth something. I got $100 for the old og evo.
Just my $.02 of course.

completely worth it for me, i got so sick of the lte reception issues with the lte. battery life is amazing and the speakers are great for watching movies or streaming music at work.
Well, I had the Evo LTe and my wife still has it.
Honestly, I don't see the rush to update. I called Sprint they gave me a deal buy back my contract on the EVolte and cost me $380.00 for the early upgrade. Trust me... The EVo Lte is up too par with the Htc One. Except the live feeds, some camera features and display. But overall camera, performance and speed the EvoLte is equally matched.

I have to disagree. With 2 gb of ram, multitasking finally works right. Also, when sending mms, its far faster on the One to attach pics to the mms, including more than one pic. If its an AOSP rom on the LTE, then yeah its kinda close.
I have had the HTC Touch Pro, The HTC Touch Pro 2, EVO, Evo3D, EVO LTE, HTC One. The evo was ahead of it's time, but the 3D was actually one of my favorite upgrades. It was fast, going to the evoLTE from the 3D wasn't that impressive in my opinion. I always had issues with wi-fi on the evoLTE. It was a good phone but not something I was blown away on. The HTC ONE is amazing. The speakers alone are worth the upgrade. The way it's built is HTC's best built phone ever. It's super fast, battery rocks, wi-fi actually works correctly (at least for me). It's a very worthy upgrade, I couldn't wait to get rid of my evo LTE again mainly cause I had wi-fi issues. Could have been just my hardware. The one had worked perfect for me so far except my simulated battery pull doesn't seem to work correctly. Other than that, it's the most impressive upgrade I have had since I have been using smart phones. All the evo devices I have had on release day so I have had plenty of time using each one.
Paid for my one outright. Bit my wallet pretty bad, but it's worth every cent. The screen, the speakers, the cpu, the build, everything kicks the crap out of the lte. The ONLY thing that bothers me is...no miss my kickstand. I go to put my phone down and ..I...I don't know what to do with myself. Although the thing that has kept me the most happy so far is working radios. Consistent 3g, and I can actually hold an lte signal now!

Thanks everyone. I have 5 lines on my account so I have an upgrade to use. I was worried about the One being able to hold an LTE connection because of some of the threads I've read. This is the only thing that bothers me about the ELTE.

Yeah the signal problem on my E lte was really pissing me off. The one is much better at holding it I have no idea what these guys are talking about

I don't regret upgrading in the slightest. My evo battery life was so god aweful and random freezes, I had so many problems with it. The HTC One is like a godsend to me. I love being able to listen to pandora at work and at the end of the day still have 30 percent battery life left.

Im an ex evo user. I got1and a half times the battery life with it. No comparison whatsoever. If course I used custom kernel but I am with this phone also. But with the evo I could have5 hours screen on and still get a total of 20 hours use. Just my 2 cents. My son had the evo as I gave it to him and he laughs when I have to charge this phone. We don't have lte where we live so thats not an issue. And for this camera being better I'm not sure that's the case either. We have done comparison shots and in my opinion the right megapixel it's definitely better in certain situations by far. Just my input. Thanks.

I don't regret this phone even for one second, much more solid and better connections, speakers are also great!! I do miss the kickstand however and regarding photos I've taken some very nice outdoor pictures and the low light aka indoor photos blow the evo lte away for sure, I took pics side by side in a dimly lit room evo u could barely see a chair of sorts the one u could see the chair the detail on the cushin and the dresser on the other side and also the wall 5 ft behind it instead of just darkness..I'll try to grab some side by sides and show u what I mean

I was just a original Evo user - now I have the One - what a great phone. HTC understands what were about.
Get the One. I still have my Evo LTE and I do comparison and the One just outshines it. Better display. True multitasking, doesn't reload every app after leaving it. Better sound quality with and without headphones, you definitely can tell a difference. No lag issues at all. For instance. Download a torrent file on your Evo LTE, that phone will lag like hell. Do the same with the One, it will perform with no lag. If you're a gamer go with the One. Just get it. Best phone I've had.
My phone history is Motorola Q, HTC Mogul, Sidekick LX, IPhone, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Evo 4G, Evo LTE, now the One.

Have had each "EVO" (4G, 3D, 4g-LTE) since I came back to Sprint a while ago...
In Chicago, we've had LTE since last Fall. I do notice a difference in Speed (3-5Mbps faster in some areas) vs. my "4gLT-EVO." That alone was worth it to me!

Forgot that. 4G fights to light up on your phone. The LTE would stay on 3g until I cut my mobile network off and back on.

Yep, Got rid of my LTE for the One, the only thing that's taking me a while to get used to are my capacitive buttons. I just found out that double tapping the home button brings up the recent apps lol. I miss the camera buttons as well.
But once you get used to that, everything else is great. I love it, love Zoe, love the sound, screen size, and the hassle-free 4G. I've had it for almost 2 weeks now and I'm yet to root it, longest I've gone, so, no complaints here.
While I was driving to the sprint store to get my One I kept saying why am I getting this new phone? After I got it there's no question that it was the right decision lol both moms have evo ltes now and I could never go back
I have owned a iPhone 3G, Samsung Galaxy, Dell Streak, Dell Venue, Samsung Glide, HTC One X, HTC Inspire, iPhone 4, and a Nokia Lumia 900. All of these phones were on the AT&T network and required SIM cards.
Currently, I am looking at purchasing a HTC One on the Sprint network and was wondering if there are any pros/cons that I should know of, not only on this device, but on the network itself.
Any advice, input, or suggestions are welcome.
Thank you.
I'm using it on att. but, about htc one, I think camera sux except for low light, most lcds have stuck pixels but as pixels are really small not that niticable except for tests. Aluminum can get uncomfortable to hold while gaming due to heat generation. Comparing to Samsung gs4, htc is better in everything except camera.
My experience on htc one: made 7 exchange requests and used each of them for at least a week before giving up.
My experience in general sense: smartphone user since college senior, 2006. (i.e. my membership date.)

Go GSM. Sprint isn't very good in my experience. Plus, on Sprint, you either have LTE or "3G". HSPA on GSM networks is so much faster than the 3G here, it's ridiculous. It's even faster than most of the LTE I get! The ATT one has a logo, though, so you might want to go t-mobile/ international /dev/Google play edition.
CDMA phones generally don't get as much love. That's just a thumb rule, but there are people out there who are completely converting their devices to Google play edition. So go GSM.
If you're patient though, you'll wait until HTC follows up on the One with their One+ in fall/winter. One def leaves some things to be desired like camera quality, QC, triband LTE and battery life/optimization.
Sprint network has always been spotty where i live (joplin mo) especially after the tornado a few years back. BUT they must have put some new towers in or something because now i get 4g everywhere and i am really impressed with it.
As for the phone? camera is weak for such a high end device. its not that its really bad its just not really that good.... my wifes s3 takes 10x better photos which is a let down. Battery has been good for me running viperrom. although charging does take forever! chargring at night is a must! no 30 min power naps for this phone. but everything else about the phone is great i really am glad i traded my iphone5 for it. why are u jumping from att to sprint?
Like the title says I'm thinking of switching my the galaxy s4. My main concern is for the battery. I know this is extremely different for each person, but more than not I see people complaint about the battery life.
I average 4.5 hours of screen time and just wondering what most people are getting. I browse the web, do some email and texting and may use Pandora for a few minutes. Not a heavy user, but I do get on it at times.
If anyone else has made the switch what re ur likes/dislikes so far??

I say go for it, you'll be happy
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I have come from the s4 and have never looked back. The Samsung was not a bad phone by any means, but IMO this phone by far outshines it. Battery gets me through the day and than some with moderate to heavy screen time, two push email accounts, tune in radio, etc. I noticed that the Samsung lagged and stuttered at times, not the case with the HTC. Dual speaker beats audio, can't beat them. Only plus for Samsung is remove able battery and micro SD. But HTC comes with 32 gig which is plenty, if not store it in the clouds. I can go on and on, I have spent a fortune switching phones, I have owned just about all top tier phones in the US, and the HTC far exceeds any other that i have used. Hope that helps you out with your decision.
I have thought of coming over from S4 as well but heard there was problems connecting to lte is thus true
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I think the people saying it has trouble connecting to lte must be in cities where it was recently deployed because I haven't had any lte issues. Wherever my S3 gets lte so does the HTC One. I'm in Atlanta which was one of the first four cities to get lte so we have it everywhere.

I agree, I have the s4, icrap5, and the HTC. If I get lte on one of the 3 the HTC picks it up as well. I believe it just depends on how complete the towers are in areas of use.
I live the design of the one but will prolly out a case on it. With specs being pretty close I wasn't sure if it'd be worth the trouble. I think the screen on the one looks better.

I got invited to LGs city tour in Seattle where I will be given a G2 for free. But I don't know if I want to give up my HTC one soon. I've only had it a few months. It's been such a great device! Never had a big issue with the low light tint. Everything about the device has always worked flawlessly with me. It's such a beast and I love that it has 2 speakers and they are on the front of the phone. It's came in handy so many times. Basically the HTC one is one of the best handsets out there. In my opinion the best available for sprint.
I'm torn between giving that up next month for the g2. In your opinions what would you do? The specs of the g2 are obviously much better than the one in every way including the battery. But it's also LG. They don't have a great history with high end devices. They released their first one barely over a year ago. It did great. Got rated the highest of it's time. I used to have the device and I loved it. The camera could have been better but with the HTC one having similar specs to the optimus g I clearly chose the HTC one.
Sorry for rambling lol I'm just curious what you guys think.
Additionally: the people over in the optimus g threads are great with getting working leaks way before sprint drops the official OTA. I've noticed with the One it's not as easy as nothing for the sprint version is ever leaked and shared to us here. It's been teased by a few but never shared. LG wins in that area.

I was struggling with this aswell..... i decided to get the one, better build quality, better sound, great devo community. the g2 on the other hand uses triband lte which would be nice while i was working so i could have slightly better lte. however looking at the build quality on the g2 and the back buttons pretty much made my mind up.
I'd go with the G2. The only thing wrong with it is it has a very ugly skin.
I'm an One owner.
g2 has
better camera
faster processor
One has
better build quality (and style for that matter)
better speakers
cant talk and surf interwebs on g2...... on the one you can. unless your on wifi than with the g2 you can
The One does not have SVDO, unless I missed something.

Can only do this while on LTE... just like all the other phones. Very few sprint phones can use 3G and talk at the same time.
I SAY G2, only because its triband lte. that way you are set for the future when smr 800 mhz lte is live in your area and the band 41 lte goes online as well
if their gonna give it to you for free take it say thank you and sell or give to me if you don't want to use it.

If can get it free, id take the G2 in an instant. Then keep your HTC one in case you don't like the G2. 13MP w/ OIS and 1080P vids at 60fps is killer.
If the G2 releases before the HTC one gets 4.3, I'm jumping ships. But I'd still keep my One tho.

Keeping my SIM unlocked M7 on T-Mobile because I get great LTE everywhere around Brea, Yorba Linda, Anaheim at $70 unlimited everything.
Using an upgrade for the M8 (Best Buy has Gold and Gunmetal Black for Sprint at $199) in about a week. The same area has great Spark coverage. My M7 is customized exactly how I want it with all of the possible extras but the M7 feels like an American muscle car (powerful sturdy with straight lines) and the M8 is like a Ferrari with blazing speed and great curves. I was using the store salesman model and I got a pop up to swipe up with 5 fingers I believe and I was instantly connected with 7 TV's across the store. I just hope Spark is somewhere near these pics I have seen ...the map says I am in the center of a big area of coverage

If it only cost you around an "upgrade cost" it's worth upgrading. If you had to pay no contract price no it's not worth it.
My HTC One M7 has the original wide dynamic range dual mics. It's a very overlooked feature that just rocks.
Could care less about camera gimmicks.
Camera seems about the same. And it's fine.
I do like the SD card.
I still prefer the size of the M7, it was perfect. And it's weight.
Sound wise it sounds the same. And that's with beats off on the HTC One M7. With beats on I suspect M7 sounds better.
I prefer headphone jack on top.
Sense 6 is no biggy, but it is a tad nicer.
My wife has the HTC One M7 now. The clarity on phone calls between them is extremely good.
M8 does seem to pull LTE better and maybe transition better between 3G and LTE better (maybe). Does some funky things (Spark things I guess).
It's not a huge upgrade for sure.
