3d is not for everyone.. takes a little getting used to.. but hope your eyes get used to it.. its a really cool feature.. with all the reviews, it made it seem to suck.. but its actually pretty damn cool.
It get's better once you find the distance that you need to hold the phone from your face to watch it comfortably. I took a bit for me but it's really enjoyable. The 3D effect of the movie is great.
F you all
I say this because I'm jealous and the sprint store I went to view it at hasn't had it at all this week, either they are lying to me or really unlucky. they said they were suppose to have it on Monday.
anyways I really hate the Nexus S i got a week ago and NEED the Evo 3D.
OP.. do your eyes hurt for the 3D movies at the theatres or with those glasses?
wait till people start getting seizures they will recall the phone in no time... lol
This phone is amazing but the 3D completely suck dirty goat balls.

I got a headache after like 20 minutes. I was on youtube though checking out what was available. I liked this highlight reel on there. 3d is definately amazing but the headache sucked. I have 20/15 eyesight so don't know if that has anything to do with it

welcome to the internet! you can probably answer your own question.
back on topic, I got used to the headaches from my 3DS. I played about 8 hours one day and woke up the next day and had a all day headache. so I'm probably gonna leave my switch to 2D and only use it once in a great while.
get some glasses or sell your phone.
I think 3d is fail at the moment, but maybe later their will be better displays.
Has not bothered me yet but if no root within 30 days then it will really hurt my eyes bad and go back to sprint

I'm told that it is a gimmick, and that it should give me headaches. But it isn't and it doesn't. I actually love the feature that turns an otherwise boring also-ran smartphone into something different.
Before, I was one of the biggest naysayers, expecting to hate this phone and wait for something next. But I'm hooked. I may need to see a professional. Or we could form a meeting. Who's coming with me?

We the people in IRC don't think you're worthy to call it a 3VO.
E3D is much better.
You make it sound like a Vaginal Santa Claus, VO VO VO!
It's kinda crazy but either you see the 3D or you don't. My wife has a really hard time picking it up but the 3D snaps right into focus for me. I love to take pics with my DSLR but now I'm looking at things and seeing what would be interesting to capture in 3D. I initially thought I wouldn't use it much but I've been pleasantly surprised and will use it a lot more often.
The 3D pictures taken by the EVO 3D look absolutely amazing on a 3D TV. While I think the display on the phone looks great in both modes, seeing them in full resolution on a large TV really makes the depth shine.
I have no problem seeing the display in 3D - I made it almost half an hour in to Green Hornet before I got sick of the movie itself. I look forward to more games and movies, but until then, I will spend a lot of time taking 3D pictures of everything, because it looks so cool.
The pron is in this section somwehere
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
I think the difficulty some people have with seeing it is that first, if you hold closer than 12 inches, it is very difficult (almost impossible) to see the 3D effect. Second, you actually have to make your eyes focus beyond the screen, which just does not come easy for some people.
I totally agree with the OP, I was always like 3D? whatever I'm getting it for the processor and battery and screen res. But the 3D part is actually really cool, and more exciting than I thought; I'm sold on it. it will definitely be the future of all things visual, I think sooner rather than later.
they just need to figure out better viewing angles for TVs and computer screens for glasses free, and it'll be 3D everything.
Ok, I know we just got root and recovery for this phone, but I'm kinda liking the way the photon 4G is looking. My question is, is there any way at the moment to return my 3VO to stock, so I can return it? I currently have 9 days to return my phone to sprint for a exchange...

ive never had a problem returning a phone that was rooted.. the people at my local store are all idiots and dont pay attention.. But then again i am in detroit..
Fyi I've had the 3vo and now own the photon. Ill give some comparisons.
The phone feels good in hand and feels very good compared to 3vo. Speaker onphoton blows evo away. Games run super smooth on photon. For example n64oid goldeneye on 3vo lag made it unplayable, the photon had little lag but i was able to finish the first level no problem. Also i liked that u can hook up wiimote right out the box instead of waitng for root. As for video camera photon had 0 slutter while the 3vo had too much for my taste. Still pictures were about even even though its an 8mp camera.
As for ui. Sense is way better imo and blur is meh. Also the photon lags a little, but i installed launcher pro and now its good. Oh yea i forgot to mention reception, the main reason why i returned the 3vo! Photon is top notch in that department. Reception was excellent and call quality was great. With the 3vo i had terrible reception.
Hope this helps

Photon will have much less dev support & will probably be a long time before it's unlocked. Motorola said they were going to start unlocking the bootloaders, but it has not started yet. The Photon is locked. I have to admit it does have nice specs and looks good too, but I personally will stick with my Evo 3D.

I don't understand your frustration with someone that refers to a PHONE as "3VO"? To tickle your fancy I'll refer to it as the "Shooter", or how about the "3D EVO", note the reversal of EVO and 3D.

Ok, thank you, and yes I hit the thanks button. Your second post had something that actually is pertaining to my original post. Honestly, I chose to stick with the 3VO anyway.
I'd just suck up the "3VO" and get used to it, it isn't going anywhere.
Oh, by the way, I don't refer to it as "three-vo", it just looks cooler (opinion), and I find it faster than typing "EVO 3D"
As an example.

Is this MoPho noticeably quicker than the Epic? I played with store demo for a bit

Well, I came from the Epic. I thought it was a great phone, but I really love the photon! Blur can be a little laggy going from screen to screen. Use launcher pro and it flies. Mine is unlocked, rooted, and has Alien rom on it, and it's just stupid fast and smooth. Once source is released and we have custom kernels, it will be even better. Battery life has been great for me. Some people have had problems as with any new phone, a fix is to be released soon. I however have not had any of these problems. I also have the dock which is like having another computer. All in all it comes down to personal choice. What works for one does not work for all.
ok cool thanks for the reply. The one at the store was lagging a lil from side scrolling the screens.
ALSO being very new at the phone, In 5 mins of touching the phone I figured out how to page jump by swiping up on the launcher pulls up the seven screens like pinching in does on the epic and htc. Whereas reviews claimed there was no way to bring up the screens in any way.
only thing that bothers me is the screen. i dont think I could get used to that.
there was similar effect going to epic from evo, seeing the pixels. But the Photon is way noticeable on pretty much anything. But then again its just a temporary toy
I came from a Vibrant which is the Tmo galaxy S.
(well, ok, so I had a evo 4g and a evo 3d between....but the Vibrant made those BOTH look like a POS)
I had custom kernel (overstock) and a very nice ROM on the Vibrant (don't recall which).
It was very fast, stupid fast. This Photon keeps up with it and I have had no real problems that I can really think of.
I honestly do not see the MoPhos screen as being lesser than the super AMOled....I seriously do not see any noticable difference.
I also got tired of waiting for the SGS2.
I am getting the photon today as well, actually its already at my house in a box waiting for me to get off work and play with it.
I'm coming from an EVO - i'm overdue for an upgrade

If you really miss Sense, check out some of the other launchers on the Market like ADW, Launcher Pro, or Go Launcher EX <- my favorite. Many of them have widgets that are very similar to HTC's Sense. If the Sense clock is the thing that does it for you, there are also tons of widgets that replicate that too.

Just wondering if any of you guys use the app Viggle? For those who don't know what the app does/is, it listens to your TV for roughly 15 seconds when you tell it to, and you confirm the show your are watching. You get 1 point for every minute that you're checked in while the show is still on. Some shows give you bonus points as well, the most common being 50 bonus points, but some shows, though rarely, are worth up to 200 bonus points. There is a What's On section in the app that lists all of the shows worth bonus points for that day. There are also videos you can watch to earn bonus points too. You trade your points for different prizes which you choose from. I always opt for the $25 Best Buy gift card. Pretty awesome to get paid, in a sense, to watch TV!! I've been using this app for roughly 7 months. A few months ago I decided to make other accounts (only need a different email address) and started using Viggle on my other phone and my tablet as well. So far I've gotten 7 $25 Best Buy gift cards! $175 just for watching TV!? Not too shabby!! Lol.
Here's the pic to show you that is totally legit (I was a bit skeptical at first to whether you'd actually be able to get gift cards or not, and knew no one else using the app, nor had I ever even heard of it before, just randomly happened to come across it while browsing the Play Store). I've since gotten my older sister and parents using it too. My parents have already used $50 in Lowes gift cards. Last pic is more of a close up to show the $ amount on the gift card. Though if you zoom in on the others you can also see the $ amount. Just put a Best Buy gift card that I received for Christmas at the bottom, to cover up the barcode and pin number assigned to the last printed card.
I get nothing for anyone signing up, as I obviously didn't post a referral code or anything, just wanted to share the info as I thought others might not have heard of this app before, and find this info useful!! If I could help inform just 1 person with this post, then my job here is done! Take care everyone, and happy Viggling! Lol

Thanks for sharing your experience with Viggle. I signed up for it a few months ago but then forgot. It seemed too good to be true in my opinion so I didn't bother; what's in it for them knowing I'm watching a show?
You mentioned you get a point for every minute you're checked in; how do you prove how long you are watching the show exactly? Do you let your phone listen for the entire duration of the show or do you have to have your phone listen for 15 seconds once per minute?
Here's a few screen shots from within the app. The first if the home/check-in screen. Second is the first page of the What's On section. Third is the first page of the Rewards section.

Once it listens and you confirm that show, you can change the channel, turn off the TV, whatever you wanna do. You get 1 point per minute until that show goes off. You have to be checked in for at least 10 minutes to get the bonus points, for shows that offer bonus points. If there are 4 1-hour long shows between 8-9, I'll check in to 1 every 15 minutes. That way I get the bonus points for each show during that time frame.
Yea, I assumed it was too good to be true in the beginning as well! That's why I posted the photos for proof that it is indeed legit! While I've yet to use any of my Best Buy gift cards, my parents used 2 $25 Lowes gift cards last week, which they earned from Viggle. I've went on to Best Buy's website and entered my gift card info to confirm that they're working, and for the full $25.So it definitely works! They get money from companies advertising within their app, with videos you have the option to watch (for bonus points). They may even sell their statistics to TV networks, showing how many people check-in to what shows. Not sure about the last one, but there are definitely videos from companies advertising.

Well I wish that I DIDN'T have that much time to watch TV! After a bad car wreck though, I'm on Disability for 1.5 years, so I'm trying to make the best of it! Lol. Hopefully I'll be able to drive again soon though, so I won't be sooooooo freaking bored stuck at the house almost every day!

I have been trying to use this all day. Only force closes on my tablet, but have been running it on my phone. Only problem is is that it is only giving me one point per program despite running it for over 20. I thought at first it was because I started doing something else with my phone, but it happens even within the app. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Figured out I was checking into the tail end of half hour shows...duh! Developer's response was fast! Haven't tried going into other apps after I check in, though going to try that next.

You can do whatever you want with your phone one you're checked in. I always hit the home button and do something else. You can even power your phone off, didn't matter. Once you're checked in, you'll get 1 point per minute until that show goes off, no matter what your phone is doing.

I appreciate it bro! Actually May 22 will be 1 year ago! Yea, I was hurt pretty bad! They thought I was dead on scene at first, then found a pulse. Jaws of Life to get me out of the car, then life-flighted to the hospital. No one expected me to live through the first night. Woke up from a coma after 8 days, and was expected to have permanent brain damage. I had about a 1 minute long short term memory, and couldn't do ANYTHING for myself! Couldn't feed myself, go to the bathroom, etc. I could talk, very quietly, and my long term memory seemed ok. After 3 weeks in the hospital, everyone was amazed at how fast and well I was recovering. Was then turned down for the rehabilitation center, because I was beginning to feed myself, amongst do other things! No surgeries, and they didn't have to drill a hole in my head to relieve the pressure of all the blood on my brain. 1 week later I was released. Living back with my parents now, after moving out 12 years ago at age 20, lol. Double vision went away after about 6 months. Still no memory of the wreck or hospital stay, even the first few months after being released out are kind of a blur. Getting better though! Almost back to 100%!!!!

Thanks man! Still have my yellow 98 and 06 GT's. Was in my Dad's Cobra that afternoon. I was gonna buy it from him, as it just sat in his garage most of the time. 98 Cobra, 1 owner, only 22k original miles, all original, always sat in a garage under a car cover. Could have ate off of ANY part of that car! Insurance totaled it. Tree at 70mph will cause that I guess. He was gonna sell it to me for cheap, and buy him a new Jeep. Insurance gave him about twice more for it than he wanted me to give him. Bought it back from insurance though! Gonna swap the motor and trans from the Cobra in to my 98 GT.

It also works on shows that have been recorded on my DVR. I very rarely watch live tv anymore. Hate sitting through commercials.
