Someone who has the device, please verify. I have not seen a conclusive answer to if it can show 3d in portrait or not. Most say no, some say yes. Someone with the phone can test this quickly.
If it doesn't show 3d in portrait, what does it do when trying to view a 3d photo in portrait?
Thanks.
EDIT: several users confirm below that the screen does indeed show 3d in the portrait orientation, albeit with mixed results.
Do bot have the device but I can assure that you cannot. Parralax barrier can only do one orientation.

Taking a portrait picture would be pointless for 3D since the cameras would be on top of eachother and the file itself wouldn't work in portrait.

huh?
i have the phone and you can see 3D in portrait
not that well, but it does it
rotate it to landscape and simply looks better
I'm not asking about taking a picture, only viewing it. And I only ask about a photo cause it's easy and direct yes or no. What I really want to know is if the screen can show 3d in portrait. I've assumed that it cannot. But xHausx thought it could as well as GSM Arena said it could.
I know the theories. Just want someone with the phone to do this one test to prove it.

actually its not that bad in portrait,for some reason it takes a bit longer for my eyes to register the 3D lol
but after a minute it'll look fine in portrait,but of course the pic is smaller
when u landscape it, it goes full screen and then its easier to see
But if defiinately shows in portrait. I havent taken any pics yets, im using the 15 standard 3d pics that came with the phone
I have the device, and while it does show a 3d picture in portrait mode, it is not in 3d, its eschewed and weird. when you turn it to landscape the photo becomes 3d.

That's likely because your brain is going through the motions of imagining that both of your eyes are stacked on top of eachother...seriously. It is physically impossible to have an actual 3D viewing experience in portrait...perhaps your brain is interpreting it and getting some depth information out of it...kinda...but it is not intended to be viewed that way.
...though I do think think an orientation agnostic parallax barrier technology could be developed and made relatively inexpensive eventually. I know nothing about the parallax barrier technology, though as a high end specialty screen printer in a former life I'm very familiar with lenticular printing and I imagine it's the same idea...I also imagine that the barrier is a black-n-white LCD type technology oriented at angles....and I don't see why they couldn't have multiple angles...though that would probably add thickness....but once the resolution of the screen gets high enough it would probably not be too noticeable....
...or I'm way the fnck off...
I like saywhat's take on the matter!
Others please confirm. I'm getting geeked for 3d ui possibilities now
We should just rename this entire General forum to "Confirmation Bias Central" until everyone gets the damned phone in their hands...christ.
I too thought that paralax barriers only worked in one orientation, but the portrait orientation definitely looks 3d. 3d UI sounds sweet, I would suggest a default UI orientation of landscape - I know I almost always have my phone in landscape anyway
ps - I am on my EVO 3d right now.
Sorry daneurysm, but yes, I am using the forum to ask a question to those who have a device already. I'm just not sure Jesus cares enough about this for you to drag Him into it.
I think that's 2 who say definitely parallax 3d works in portrait. One or two more confirm and I'll change the op title maybe. HTC is stupid for not explaining this clearly.
Its taking my eyes forever to adjust to the 3D effects.... lmao

Amen to that, lol.
HTC was not clear at all and I have heard conflicting theories from all across the board...though I am suspicious that HTC not commenting directly on it would suggest that they don't want to say it can't be in 3D for 90% of the things you use your phone for.
I don't see it being impossible, in fact quite the opposite as I explained above...though I figure we would have heard about this specifically if it was "3D however you hold it" technology.
I hope it is 3D all the way around, but, logic is pointing in the opposite direction....don't underestimate your brain's ability to overestimate it's input stimuli, it's fascinatingly good at 'filling in the details', especially visually.

For now.
Maybe it does 3d in portrait with 2 parallax barriers and switches between them. And perhaps they didn't advertise it because portrait 3d is even more eye straining? Idk, but it's cool if it can do it.

I don't see how or why that would be impossible to do...and like I said before (and I should google it...maybe later...not now) I know nothing of this technology, but I imagine it's like old black-n-white LCD technology with each strip at an angle...or two, one on each side for alternating lines....but perhaps they could do a matrix and trigger it like a dot-matrix LCD, one for horizontal and one for vertical depending on orientation....though that also changes the angles...I wonder if the supposedly limited viewing angle has something to do with this in any way.
...don't concern me, I look at my phone dead-on...like everybody...and I don't treat it like a home theater either...
The 2D -> 3D button is only for the camera, right? Is it going to be possible to completely turn off the 3D effect? I'm sure the novelty will wear off and I'd rather the battery life.
OK, I had fully decided to sit this one out. All week, I've been reading and watching reviews. Though I had a preorder at Radio Shack, I read the reports on launch day and decided to stay home and call in to cancel. I was one of the nay-sayers.
But yesterday, I was shopping next to the Sprint Store, and decided to go in to see it... and I was hooked. Went to Radio Shack, and the girl there saved me the last Evo 3D anyway, knowing I'd come in after all. How funny.
My reaction after having it for awhile? I truly love my OG Evo, but this device is much better in very noticeable ways:
1. The first thing I noticed is a small thing, but the haptic feedback is DRAMATICALLY better. Tighter and more subtle, just as it should be. Haven't heard this in any of the reviews, but I really like it. Makes the whole phone feel better for me, because I'm a fan of the feedback, especially with the keyboard.
2. This think is insanely fast and smooth. No lag, and it feels almost like it can read my mind going somewhere before I think about it.
3. Not a Sense fan, but I like the effects and speed of this. I could see myself staying with Sense if devs are able to improve on it. See gripes below on what I don't like.
4. Camera isn't as bad as I expected. It may even be significantly improved. The app definitely is. Low light stills are better. Video is improved but still awful, and the sound is not improved at all.
5. The 3D? I actually love it. It's fun... really a nice feature. But I can see that you have to have good eyesight and some patience for it. My wife took one look and wanted nothing more of it. Reminds me of the old Viewmaster images, and I was a big fan. Brings back a bit of my childhood. Good app idea is for Viewmaster to revive all its old collections and make them available for download. How cool would that be? Sign me up!
6. As a phone, I love that the speaker is loud enough, and call quality doesn't sound any worse. Not sure it's improved, though.
OK, now for some gripes:
1. Though I generally like the size and weight, the new screen actually feels much smaller. It's narrower, of course, which in combination with the higher resolution makes everything smaller in portrait view. I'm not sure the screen is brighter and better than the Evo as some have said... seems somewhat duller by comparison.
2. My biggest gripe is that the capacitive buttons are TOO FREAKING BRIGHT, and there doesn't seem to be a way to fix that. And they never shut off. Devs need to fix this or give us ways to adjust to taste.
3. The 3D in movies is much harder to see and notice. The movies have tended to make 3D effect more subtle, and therefore it's difficult to see dramatic effect on this smaller screen. That's both good and bad, I guess. Don't imagine I'll be investing in 3D movies on this, but who knows?
4. Small things... a little harder to hold (or maybe I'm not used to it yet), the speaker isn't as good or as loud and there seems to be a bit of vibration.
5. Sense 3.0, though fun and slick, feels confining and incomplete to me. I miss some of the customization I had in CM7, but would love to keep the lockscreen and weather effects. Somebody explain to me the function of that stupid carousel. First time, "whee!" but after just dumb. This phone desperately needs root and the devs to add things that are missing (customizable buttons on the notification bar, GB wink-out effects, custom rosie, etc.).
In conclusion, I expected to hate it, or not like it enough to try it. That was dead wrong. Is it enough for me to keep it? Well, some key improvements are missing for me, like a significantly improved camera (I'm a photographer, and very picky about this). Sure, I have better cameras, but this one is with me all the time. I'd like to remove the SD card without removing the battery.
I'm loving the 3D, but can see how some non-nerds would lose patience with it quickly. I'm guessing that we'll see a service for ordering 3D prints in the future and other sample 3D photos (c'mon, Viewmaster!), and that will be fun.
Bottom line is that it HAS to get root in the next 30 days, or it goes back for sure. I've seen too many improvements on the Evo with custom ROMs, and I've made my phone new again so many times over. Gotta have that. And just think what the devs could do with this phone.
Nice review! Interesting perspective.
Yeah... No clue about the carousel.. it spins to fast to be useful... I love mine too!
The buttons definitely are to bright... They need to dim with the screen.

I was leary of a launch day buy but I'm really glad I got it.
I really didn't care about 3d but I must admit I'm liking it.
Have to have root though.
Forgot to add.. I hate the app drawer, I want to fling it.
The charge port needs to be on right side.
The bright capacitive buttons where starting to get on my nerves as well. You can turn them off with the "screen filter" app from the market. The its primary feature is to dim the screen, but you can keep the screen at 100% and still disable the buttons' backlight.
Speaking of lights...why the hell would HTC take away my flashlight and give me a mirror? I used that HTC Flashlight all the time! Sure as heck don't need to be looking at my ugly self all the time, lol. I know I can download one, but just saying.

I'm still on the fence, but I do shoot video with my phone enough (hey, it's always with me) to have this turn me off. I've dealt with the Evo 4G's terrible (and I mean, TERRIBLE!) audio on videos because it's overall a great phone, but I was hoping the next generation would have fixed the problem. Poop.
First thing I noticed was the haptic feedback as well. I told the BB employee that it felt like the Droid X and he said that a few other people had told him that, too.
I didn't notice how bright the capacitive buttons were, so I guess it doesn't bother me.
I hate the app drawer as well! I don't like the "pages." I feel that pages could've been implemented better (um, horizontally maybe?)
As much as I thought I'd be keeping 3d off permanently I've actually had a lot of fun messing around with it.
One other small thing that bugs me is how the clock widget always seems to have to catch up when you go back to the home page from something else. It's frozen on the time it was when you were looking at it last and quickly flips to update. It's minor, and won't matter too much because I plan on not using the sense clock widget anyway.

The carousel would make more sense if it took you to the home screen every time you flicked it. You can use that instead of the home button.
Why I would use the carousel to bring me back to the same page I am on makes no sense to me.....
Thanks for the review OP, i think you were head-on with your points.
I do think tho, the narrowness of this device allows me to put a case on it and actually prefer its larger width, i loved that in the OG Evo.
As for the Carousel, kinda lame that once you flick it and it starts spinning, you can't put your finger on it and choose which screen to go to, it always recovers to the screen you flicked from.

I'm right handed, talking while charging blows plus it stresses the port.
Just extract the flashlight apk from a sense rom in the EVO 4g dev section, it works fine on our phones.
Also I kinda like the narrower size, it fits better in my hand and pocket. I was ready for a new phone and I don't regret picking this one up at all.

I had some issues at first too. I figured out I was doing a lot of things wrong.
First, Don't hold it too close, about a foot/foot and a half is good. Six inches is kinda weird looking.
Second, I kept reading move the screen back and forth till it pops, this is half right. You need to move it slowly and stop when it looks alright then blink a few times if you need too.
And in the gallery when looking at pics wait a second before you try to move it. Once you find a sweet spot if you keep the phone steady if should stay alright.
This phone really should of had a tutorial for using the screen, with like simple shapes and stuff like that.
The trick about 3D I found is that don't watch those cheaply made clips...make sure you watch the high quality one, I found one clip on Youtube that is a show-off type of clip for me to my friends. Search for "GoPro 3D: Highlight Reel 2011" is the name of it. Also, when watching 3D content, make sure you are in 4G speed because 3D requires high bandwidth to carry through.
Showed the above youtube clip to my coworkers and one of them said "iPhone 4 sucks!" and he's a Mac lover. lol

I've seen some videos that are converted wrong, in most online videos and all the vids and pics the 3d takes I hold the phone with the top/left side slightly further away than the right, i have seen a video that it looked weird until i held it with the bottom/right side farther away. Check it out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXecWt6ldM4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
OK, dumb question: Why don't 3D vids on youtube work for me anymore? I bookmarked a few to show friends, but when I play them now, it's as if I'm viewing it on a computer or a non-3D phone. Clearly, I've somehow selected something on youtube that makes it not work anymore. Can anyone help an idiot figure out what he did???
NM, figured it out. Apparently, you gotta use the youtube app, not the browser. Carry on.....
Has anyone else experienced when taking a 3D pic and you lock your phone and then unlock, the weather animation is in "3D mode" although it does not pop out or nothing due to it being just a single 2D image looks like if we unlock this puppy (by unlock i mean S off) we may be able to create a 3D lock screen I dont care to make an entire rom in 3D but the lockscreen in 3D would be nice. Anyone willing to look into this with me?

That would be cool. And the idea has been through around a few times. But yeah, battery would be pretty bad. Also, the parallax barrier isn't arrange to do portrait properly I don't think. Im pretty sure its aligned to only do landscape. If you notice when you view a 3d pic in portrait your viewing angle is like 2degrees and it still doesn't look quite right.

Right. It would technically work, but it would look like crap. I don't think its worth the effort. Maybe a launcher that turns into 3D when viewed in landscape mode? Or a toggle to turn the display from 2D to 3D. Hopefully all this will be possible if the devs here can unlock the bootloader.
I would love to have it 3D, like in the commercials. I feel like I got short changed when I turn on my phone and the home screen isn't jumping out at me. Now that would shut up the iphone geeks.

Hey, now there is a thought. a mod that would use the 2D-3D switch on the phone that is dedicated to just the camera, hack that so it turns 3D on once the phone goes into landscape mode. You know, like what everyone thought the 3D switch was for in the first place! hack it up and name it "the ORIGINAL 3D switch" or something.
Also, something I have been thinking about (which isn't possible I don't think but, it SHOULD have been something incorporated.)
the phones have a tilt sensor. why wasn't the parallax barrier linked to that in some way, so whenever the phone is tilted from it's centered calibration, the PB would adjust in real time to the new position. voila!, good bye narrow 3D viewing angle.
Sounds interesting but the barrier is a physical thing more than it is software or am I wrong

most definitely is a physical thing, which is why it wouldn't really be possible now that the phone is released. cool idea none the less.
I had this happen to me and everything in the launcher had 3d-ish effect to it even the app drawer. It was pretty neat but eventually it went away.
Looking at the screen while in the sun you can actually see the parallax barrier..... What I saw was a uniform grid
So technically the only reason 3d couldn't function properly in portrait would be because of the lack of real estate to trick your eyes..

The grid was like 10x5

Looks good, but I'd be interested to find a matching matte black like the bottom. I have a couple friends who are auto painters, so I might have it done when I get mine. We'll see. The shiny black might grow on me.
Looks great aside from the color. Try flat black
What the glossy plastic wasn't ugly enough? LOL
Hey as long as you like it that's all that matters!
To each his own. I don't know why people want to mess with the top part so bad. I think it looks fantastic just the way it is.
But that doesn't look that bad. Could've gone with a dark purple though.

Thank you! I think I'm the only one that things the contrasting colors AND contrasting surfaces (matte/glossy) on the back is hot. Didn't anyone learn anything in Art class? Contrast people.
I teach HS and already, day 2 of having it, people are saying "Oh wow what is that? That is live!" Instead of "That looks like every other phone."
While the paintjob is well done, I don't agree with the choice of color. Did you at least sand the cover before you painted?

I agree. I think they pulled off the contrast very well, particular because of the red band. But your right. The phone looks sleek and different, but in a good way.
What I also like is that it was a bold design move. Not many are willing to break the conceptual mold that a phone is suppose to look like.
Do a test, go out in public, whip out the phone with its huge screen and contrasting back with a red band. People notice. What is that? Damn straight.

I did sand it first as I was following a post from another thread, and intended to just leave it sanded. I didn't like the result. Mine didn't look as good as the posted sanded phone, so I painted it.
I didn't mind the glossy black color at all, just hated the constant fingerprints. My old glossy black backed nexus didnd't seem to leave fingerprints as bad this EVO.
Believe me when I say that I had no intention of going the "buttercream" route at all. I had 4 colors of Krylon Fusion in the house and tried them all on my old Nexus S. Flat black, satin white, buttercream, and a light green.
For some reason the buttercream in person looked best to me, and best of all, no more fingerprints. I don't mind the derogatory comments posted by some as my wife gave me crap too before seeing the finished phone. The photo was taken from my work blackberry so it isn't the best and looks much better live.
I just thought I would post it as so many talk about changing the back, yet nobody has/does....... well I did for better or worse.

nice job
not lol
but yea it does look like crap. white red and black?
yea I dont like the factory shiney top part either. I will probably just sand blast it at work to give it a matte finish
What kills me about this photo is the phone is sitting on top of a case.SMH
Just busting your balls OP.. Although I wouldn't a painted it that color, it wasn't my choice. Good job
