HTC EVO 4G and EVO View 4G reportedly reach end-of-life status

I have heard that they have released a version of 4.0 for the evo view tablets and phones where I do not know if you have an unrooted system like mine if someone could post a link to where one might find this on the internet it would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

LOL no upgrade for me til 2014. Aren't I so lucky.

I returned a 3D because I preferred the OG EVO. I still, in some ways, prefer the EVO to my GSII although I think that's more a Sense vs TW thing.

My only complaint was the horrible battery life. My GSII routinely gets 3 or 4 times better battery life.

This really makes me sad 2. I have the HTC EVO 3D 4G phone from Sprint. I'm not really crazy about the 3D photos cuz they hurt my eyes, but b-cuz it's 3D it has 2 cameras & 2 processors, which makes it a whole lot FASTER↯↯↯

Do you know what I call for OG EVO "My Alpha phone" coz everything it canes first like 8 m/pixel, 4Gnetwork, Wimax etc.... That's why I call my Alpha lol I'll miss this wonderful and phone of the year 2010

I seem to be the minority here, but I do NOT love my Evo 4G. The battery life is appalling and Sprint eviscerated the wireless N with the Gingerbread update. Having to use wireless G when I bought the phone for wireless N is just crap.

I've hated my EVO since the GB update. The constant Sense reboots drive me crazy. I can't wait till May so I can upgrade to a Samsung.

This is the first phone I have actually had this long (got it on release day)! With my EVO rooted and customized to the fullest extent of Android law, I have no intentions of upgrading until Sprint releases a LTE device that makes my jaw drop. The EVO 4G may have made the EOL list, but it still one of the most developed Android devices...that's considered old now. +1 on the EVO 4G making it into the Android Hall of Fame...if it existed. The best mobile device I have owned thus far...and I've had my fair share of devices.

Sheesh, this article makes it sound like we all tossed our Evo 4Gs ages ago. I bought mine the day it came out and am under contract with it until April. Do that many people really pay $400+ for a new phone regularly?

That's really sad, even though I don't\Didn't own one. I think the EVO 4G & the Desire HD are HTC's best phones ever. (Emphasize on the EVO)

Honestly, the EVO 4G &the the DROID X are the reason I switched to Android (ironically I don't have either one)

If these phones are going to be discontinued then the carriers need to do something about the contracts. I bought my EVO 4G in Dec 2010 and am still under a 2yr contract until DEC 2012. This forces us to buy a new phone without being able to take advantage of upgrade status discounts :(

I walked into the sprint store to play around with all the current sprint phones. My EVO4G is rooted running mikg(which has darktremors a2sd) and anthrax kernel. Bouncing around the ui of the photon, evo3d, EVOdesign my OG EVO was smoother even though my EVO4G is half full of apps and the displays are empty. The only phone is couldnt keep up with was the Samsung Galaxy SII.

I know gpu wise and gaming the photon and 3d would do better in real every day usage the OG is still a solid performer. Nothing (even the Nexus) is really going to make me switch right now.

Come summer though if there is a good succesor on sprint to the EVO with bnetter camera and quad core goodness It will then really be put to the pasture. Well not really it works way better than an ipod touch. ;)

Sad Panda. Good night, sweet prince.

Just put Android 4.0 via deck ICS build B.5 (upgraded from Cyanogen 7) on my EVO yesterday ... its like a brand new phone. Works great with a lot of new features. I will probably upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Note when they come out.

With TeamBlaze and Evervolv's ICS 4.0.3 work... My Evo4G is way ahead of most people's unrooted devices. I've got over 200MB of internal mem on my phone and the overclocking is blast ass fast. Won't need new hardware until they come out with significantly better specs or I break the damn thing.

Am I the only one who has visions of Rutger Hauer holding a Evo 4g on top of a building in the rain?

Galaxy Nexus supposed to be available in march per sprint

If there was such thing as the Android Hall of Fame then this phone should definitely be inducted. I still have my Evo under contract. I bought it the first week of launch and am eligible for a reup in April. The only real problem with the phone is the 1 gig internal, 300ish meg usable storage for apps. There is that sense reboot issue too which I hear there is a fix for but never had the time to see if it works. I'm really interested in which markets will get lte in 2012, which phones with lte will be released, and will they be a game changer like the evo was at launch.

Does anyone else wish they'd make a wimax-lte phone? Seems like it's wimax or lte. I'm in the DC metro area and wonder if us having wimax already will put us at the back of the line for LTE. Makes it hard to commit to a technology I'm going to be stuck with for 22 months.

Great. HTC / Sprint launched a system upgrade last week that is making my wifi drop every 3 minutes. And now I find out that the phone is EOL. Not a good week.

I hope this means the Galaxy Nexus is coming soon.

My Evo lives on via CM7/and Evervolv ICS P5, CM9 where you @ :-)

This EVO 4G has been by far the only phone I've never felt the need to upgrade. Iconic ....?? At Least!

Lets hope Sprint announces an upgraded HTC Rezound and calls it the EVO2 LTE 4G. ;D

My evo 4G > my evo 3D

Wasn't the EVO on the EOL list back in October, but yet it still hung around?

What about the evo design? Is it even worth looking at?

You will pry me Evo out of my cold dead hands! Using set cpu at maximum setting gives me performance that can rival anything. I will never get rid if it when I have to upgrade.

I hope sprint keeps the Evo line alive and replaced it with something worthy!

Amazing, these companies know that the carriers do a 2 year contract on this stuff and the EOL is less than 2 years? These things cost as much as a notebook and even those can get more than 2 years EOL. I hope with the HTC decision to do less hardware better that maybe the EOL can atleast be 3 years? This is why I rooted and changed ROM's figured there would be no more updates.

The EVO 4G is what caused my wife and I to make the switch from BlackBerry.

It was definitely the right call. I don't miss the browser hanging the whole phone up, nor the iffy Google syncing.

Pretty amazing phone, overall. With an extended battery and CM 7.1 I'm in no hurry to switch to another just yet. Given the recent news that HTC is planning to focus on "quality not quantity" I'm rather interested to see what they will offer this year.

If HTC makes another solid slab of a phone like this it will be hard to resist! (with better battery life, of course, heh )

ok can we have the Sprint G-Nex now please?????? still using my launch day EVO and refuse to upgrade because no worthy successor is for sale yet!

come on Hesse! get your ass in gear and release the G-Nex!!!!!!!!!

How sad. I just shed a little tear. Had the EVO a week after release. I didn't preorder one and it took me over a week to hunt one down in SoCal. I couldn't believe how awesome it was even a year later. It still beats half of the phones out now! I've had the EVO 3D since the summer and love it, but the OG EVO will always be a fond memory. I hope the next EVO is deserving of the name. I still have it, and 2 extra batteries and a case and the HTC car dock. I thought of selling it last year, but I couldn't bring myself to part with it. Stupid, I know, but that phone really did kick ass!

How sad for me and my evo 4g :-( I'm not eligible for an upgrade til 2013. That just sucks.

I can't believe some people are still under contract with an EVO. I wish Verizon would bring back 1 year contracts.

Also still rocking my EVO 4G. Won't buy a new phone untill either two things happen. 1. It's a phone as easy to root as unrevocked was for Fryo on my EVO. Or 2. Google updates Android so that I can backup data and cache without rooting. Its my data and I can't stand to have to redo a part in a game when loosing said data after faulty update like say angry birds has done atleast once that I know of. Oh what the hey :-) option 3 all phone are sold with bootloader unlocked already or have a code to unlock like webOS's upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart

I bought my EVO 4G just a couple months after it was released, and I still use it. I've been eligible for an upgrade for well over 6 months (with Sprint's old Premier 1 year upgrade), but haven't seen the need (or a compelling phone) to upgrade yet.

Many people seem to have had issues with some of the firmware upgrades but neither my wife's or my EVO has ever had a real issue issue (and yes, we're stock and unrooted). My only issue is the amount of memory available internally - even with moving apps to the SD card it is a tight squeeze (although the latest upgrade helped with that).

I might get a new phone soon, but my EVO 4G will be passed down to one of my kid to replace their Hero (probably my daughter, who has worn the paint off the buttons).

Still rocking my EVO until I'm rebate eligible later this year. I'm sure other phones will be out, but I think I'm going to go as close to stock as possible. Galaxy Nexus unless something else is better.

Sad indeed! What a device that was! Started it all...

Time to upgrade... But I don't want last year's phones so I'm patiently waiting for sprint to release a good high end phone worth upgrading to.

This makes me sad. The EVO 4G was a great device that helped me develope my addiction to rooting......LOL It will be missed.
