At first I was going to say I guess it is just a matter of taste, but after playing with the Nexus S I really like the size of that more than the EVO. Still I don't find the EVO too big at all to hold. Full disclosure I'm 6ft 180, but I have big hands (I wear size 13 shoes). My wife who is 5'4" likes the size of it also (wow that can be taken different ways), but I am willing to bet once she plays with the Nexus S she will like it better. If anything I wish the EVO was thinner and lighter.

Also is this Carrier IQ thing in the Nexus S since it is the Google phone?

Is this the same thing as IQ Agent Service? Because that's running on my LG Optimus.

I integrated my phone with Google Voice. Do text messages come in over data or do they just use the cell connection like regular texts?

Got an upgrade ready to go and I'm trying to decide between the 3D and the Photon...

How does the GSM stuff work on the Photon? Can I just slip any SIM card in there?

Just got the Evo3D.

When I got home, it prompted me for a software update. Does that one fix whatever loopholes lead to rooting/bootloader unlocking?

Is Otterbox still the best case? Does the Commuter add alot of bulk? How's the Impact?

I have and Evo 3D. I sometimes experience an issue where the screen stops responding until I lock/unlock the device. Recently, while playing some games, I notice the real cause is that a spot in the middle of the screen registers a touch and that's what's causing this to happen.

I'm assuming this is a hardware issue, since it's not dependent on what app I'm in. What are my options here? Bring it to the service center and try to convince them I'm not crazy?

So I brought the phone in.

They said they did "diagnostics", saw something wrong, wiped the phone and then the "diagnostics" were clean.

Is this a real thing? Did they just do this to shut me up?

Sprint has a program called slate that we are starting to be required to use. It supposedly analyzes the phone, battery, apps, etc. I politely disagree with sprint on this one. It's worthless.

But honestly, doing a phone wipe is a good way to fix a problem. And a nice placebo effect either way :)

They told me if I get a survey call to make sure to say they ran Slate, so it must be important.

I haven't had the issue happen yet, so maybe it worked.

What does it mean when my battery icon looks like this on my Evo 3D?

Phone about to explode?

I'm also having weird touchscreen problems and ghost touches on my 3d. It happens on any rom I'm on, but I almost think it only started when I installed boot manager.

I'm getting pretty frustrated waiting for cm9, and also want to jump ship or get the nexus when it comes out.

I'm having this issue as well. I brought it in to the local repair center and all they did was reset the phone after running some 'diagnostics'.

The problem has returned and I'm not sure what my next course of actions should be.

I'm in Amsterdam for the week. I should be able to use my phone as a wifi device without being charged out the wazoo because there's no CDMA over here, right?

Do you have grooveip? Just curious to see how good of an option it is for someone with sprint integration in your situation. It works when I've used it but i've yet to exclusively have to rely on it. Wondering how rock solid the option is.

No I don't. I don't really make phone calls (work gave me a prepaid phone haven't used it yet), so I don't think it's an issue for me.

What's HTC/Sprint's bad pixel policy?

I had the phantom touch issue on my Evo 3D, so I got the screen replaced at the repair shop. They did it for free, even though I don't have insurance.

A couple days later, I see a bright dead pixel, normally only noticeable in dark screens, but enough to distract when watching videos. I don't want to make a fuss since they fixed the phone for free, but was wondering if anyone knows what options I have.

I updated my Evo 3D to ICS. Now when I'm on Roaming, I'm told I haven't enabled roaming data. The settings look like I've enabled it. I updated PRL but I haven't been on roaming since then to check it out. Anyone else seeing this?

Does anyone here use the Sprint Google Voice integration where you can use your number as a GV number?

I just got the update that integrates GV and the Android Hangouts app. I've already been using Hangouts as my primary messaging app, but now all my incoming messages come in as "From Google Voice". That's all well and good, but when I'm out for a long time, or in a place with poor reception I turn off mobile data, basically turning it into a dumb phone and I won't receive any SMS messages like I normally would.

Anyone else having the same issue?

I had the same issue. I actually never used Hangouts for SMS before, and didn't want to. Opting in to merge Voice with Hangouts made all texts show up in Hangouts instead of the default messages app that I want to use (despite having the option to receive SMS in Hangouts disabled), and none of them came through unless I had an active data connection. That's not a good thing for me because I get such poo poo data reception at work that I just turn mobile data off to avoid my battery draining at 1% a minute. I opted out of the integration, and everything is back to normal. I can text with no data, and it'll still show up on Google Voice.

Hangouts seemed pretty poo poo in the day and a half that I used it.

Yeah I've reverted too. I enjoy using the Hangouts as my default messaging program, but I use Hangouts with my friends anyways. I'm holding off on bringing my Voice stuff in until they figure this out.
