[Q] 3d to 2d button loose - HTC EVO 3D

Is the 3d to 2d toggle button a little loose on your phone?

It's not bad, but if you shake the phone you can hear it rattle a little.

yeah its pretty bad here as its lose front to back bad. sliding it top to bottom clicking the switch on and off is solid though. Just the front to back movement is a little rediculous

+1 same here. It's pretty loose ny friends and I all got one and i touched 5 different 3d's all had loose camera button. But idgaf this phone is raw!

Ok i thought i was the only one with the semi defective switch

Yeah it is BEYOND me why they decided to have loose buttons on there. It doesn't bother me too much, but I am wondering why they didn't tighten it up.

yes, loose on mine also.
power button is pretty stiff on my phone, hard to turn on also
otherwise, great phone

what hardware versions are you guys on? I have the loose play front to back in that switch, and am on v.002 here.

My button its loose also... Glad I got a tpu case on it now though, can't hit it or get it snaged on anything

knowing that you guys got the same problem makes me feel so much better. *Honesty
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!

Same here, a bit of wiggle. I can hear it when I shake my phone but I really don't think it will be a big problem. At least, I don't plan on shaking my phone at frequent intervals

Most of the rattle is due to camera button not the 3d button .

For me, it's actually quite the opposite. My shutter button is solid, and my 2D/3D switch is a bit loose.

After 24+ hours, my thoughts on the E3D

Commenting on just these categories:
Fit and finish. Pretty much solid and well built. Though its measured as roughly the same weight because of its narrower feel, to me its a tad bit heavier just because the device feels smaller in the hands. The word Density comes to mind.
Battery. Overall its much better than my evo 4G. With similar location, usage and brightness I'm getting a full day's of use and then some. I'll still get a backup battery for emergencies but I'm glad its outlasting the OG Evo.
3D. Its nifty, works decently. I wouldn't use it all that much but its nice that its there to use and show.
Screen. I read alot and the AMOLED+ and pentile LCD display types are the screens I prefer not to have. I'm glad HTC went with SLCD. Sure its not eye popping colors but to me the colors look accurate and sharp and not over saturated. Text is crisper and easier on the eyes. If you've tried to read for a long time on a AMOLED screen, eyes get kinda tired. The iphone4's IPS display is to me the best all around. Other than that, visibility inside outside has been great. nothing unexpected and usable in all but the brightest sunlight.
What I would change:
Camera 3D/2D switch is loose. Both camera button and switch is made of metal and is high quality but the rattling takes it down a bit. Once ifixit posts their tear down, I'd like to see if I can put a tiny piece of electrical tape between the outside switch and the inner electrical switch to make it not rattle.
The menu buttons are super sensitive, quick brush and the key gets activated. The power button is also sensitive. I've accidentally powered on or off the device just holding it and especially handing it to people to hold. If there was a way to turn down or detune the sensitivity of atleast the capacitive buttons, I'd pay for that "its a feature, not a bug"
The menu buttons are very bright at night even when the screen is dimmed all the way and never turns off while screen is on.
Don't get me wrong, its a high end phone worthy to represent the best of Android/HTC and I will use and enjoy this phone even more than my mogul, TP, TP2, Pre, and Evo 4G that came before it.
This thread is meant to foster comments on your own experiences. Comment accordingly. Now back to playing with the phone
Get an Otter Box from the Sprint store (or wherever cheaper). It covers the camera button perfectly so it doesn't feel so fragile. The 2d/3d toggle can be hard to switch tho... Amazing case for an amazing phone.

Love that its like a droid incredible it looks so much smexier than the evo 4g its nice and skinny!
love the screen and over sense 3.0 is AMAZING love this phone and I'm actually comfortable keeping it stock and not really clamoring to flash something new, maybe in a month but right now very happy!
3D is cool!! but i feel like my eyes get all googly for over 3D minutes after i use the feature
also! love the battery life!
I agree, been running CM for so long, it will be nice and refreshing to go back to sense for a while.

I pretty much agree. Also:
- The Power/Sleep button is too soft to the press. Sometimes the screen will turn on in my pocket or I'll bring up the power menu by accident with very little effort.
- By default, LED Notifications were all unchecked for me. They should set them on by default (kind of odd that they didn't).
- Make the icons for the included apps high-resolution. ie People and Messaging, when placed on the homescreen, look blurry and low-res.
I love this phone. But, being rooted has spoiled me and I'm dying without it.
Also, HTC Sense launcher doesn't scroll wallpapers: fail

Forgot to add that. 10000000% agree.
Yes, the power button is Waaay to sensitive, even sliding your finger across the top of the phone will activate it. Simply touching the button will turn off the screen, pressing it will power it off. Taking off the cover causes the power button to activate often.
You might have a bad EVO cuz my camera switch button is extremely solid and has no rattle at all

It's funny because my power button is very stiff, and very flush with the case. Pretty much impossible to accidentally turn on.

My power button is also really sensitive. I did notice a small difference though after removing the back cover, fiddling with the switch a bit, and then putting it back on. It's no longer quite so sensitive.

- My power button is fairly stiff too. About perfect IMO.
- Feels more solid than the evo 4g IMO
- Battery life is pretty good, surprisingly. Way better than the reviews made it out to be. And i've been using 4g a lot.
- I've had no problem with call quality or data connection. Just as good as my old evo so far. Not like some of the reviews made it out to be, my calls have been very clear, probably clearer than my old evo too.
- Screen is very nice compared to the original evo
- Bottom buttons are A LOT brighter than the evo, honestly wish theyd be a little dimmer.
- 3d works better than most reviews led me to believe. I had a really hard time focusing on the pre-loaded 3d pictures. But my self-taken pictures, videos, spider man, and the movie all looked good in 3d and i had no problem focusing. The pre-loaded ones were giving me a headache for some reason.

Camera Will not focus

So I just got my brand new Photon..after holding the new Epic 4g Touch in one hand and the photon in the other...I picked the photon.
I start to play with it when i get home, and I notice the camera some times will not focus, and I can hear the lens click when i open the camera app. Now it will not focus at all, not even for a bar code reader that will shift focus in order to scan the bar code.
Has any one else had this problem. This is making me wish I had the New Epic 4g Touch.
Chris
Try using the on screen button instead of the physical button. Press ans release after its focused.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Ok, update. I smacked the phone a few times and it started to focus.
and Yes holding down the on screen button would not even make it focus, but looks like after I whacked it, it started to focus, not sure for how long. Also as a side not, when it would not focus before, even while holding the on screen button, the camera area got really hot.
Local Best Buy has me on a list so i can take this thing back for the Epic 4g Touch.
It has till then to prove itself. I want to like this phone.... I really do!
If I recall a couple other people have had issues with this, I think it's a hardware issue with some of the phones. Try taking it back and getting a new one?
I noticed kind of a physical "bump" when activating the camera, but focus has been good. I know it's a typical CS first question, but the plastic is removed from the lens, right? I have noticed that taking pictures through a window doesn't really work, since it wants to focus on the glass, but that's pretty typical. If the plastic is still on the back, or you have a case with plastic covering the lens, it might be trying to focus on that, and not your photo subject.
Just a thought...
Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

The plastic was removed. Ever since I gave it a good whack it seems to be working great.
But like i said, it has till the Galaxy S2 is in to prove its self to me
-Chris
I have had this happen a few times and found that if I was touching the screen anywhere besides the using the camera button or on screen button it won't respond. Mainly when holding it in landscape my palm would hit the screen slightly in the lower right hand corner by the buttons.
Another Update.
So after playing with it some more, I get only about 5 photos before the camera stops focusing. then if i wait 5 min or so, I can take a few more before it stops.
Its a shame because this phone feels so good in your hand, and I truly wanted to like this phone.
-Chris
Replace it for a new one if you can. Also smacking it probably wont help it in the long run.

HTC changed the Rezound's design?! Lets look at some evidence shall we...

The power and volume buttons on the rezound are a hindrance at best, poorly designed and implemented.
I mean come on, flush buttons for critical functions... what was they thinking?!
Sure flush buttons can work, but they must be on the facing side of the device and be clearly visible is some way. Like the power button on many devices. (my laptop for example) They at least need to be able to be found easily tactically.
But the buttons on the rezound are thin, leaving little room for tactile differentiation and they are also placed on the side of the device where you can not see them without actively turning the phone and looking. So yeah, they are small pain and annoyance in an otherwise fine phone.
But was this always so? Was the buttons like this from the beginning and all through in house use testing and never discovered... or was it a last minute design change that wasn't thought through?
Lets look at some evidence shall we. Stock photos of the rezound in official HTC accessories.
Lets see...
Exhibit 1: HTC Silicone Skin view A
Exhibit 2: HTC Silicone Skin view B
Exhibit 3: HTC TPU Case view A
Exhibit 4: HTC TPU Case view B
Exhibit 5: HTC Extended Battery and Battery Door
This is only a few examples, there are others.
As you can see, these Rezounds all have buttons that protrude from the device slightly, just enough to allow tactile location of these critical controls.
It may just all be a trick of the angles and lighting when the pictures were taken, but they seem to protrude too far for that.
I believe these devices are early build units destined for in house testing and use of the final design. For some strange reason though, they changed the buttons to a flush mount for the actual production run.
Sad seeing as how great the phone is otherwise.
I have no issues with the power button and volume rocker. Once you get used to it they perform just fine imo.
Hmm. I plan on getting the extended battery and I am wondering how the cover will effect the flush buttons but in the meantime I'm a fan of the design. I'm already use to them and find myself trying to turn on my incredible on the right.

I have had mine for a few days, I am getting better, but I would still appreciate a better tactile feel for the button placement.

well i totally agree that the volume button suck LOL....i use a TPU case and it really sucks to adjust the volume witht eh case on. Now witht he Otterbox Commuter i can press the buttons even easier witht he case on compared to being off...All i can say really is, Is this your first HTC DEVICE (not being mean either)?????....in the recent years ive noticed HTC's buttons have gotten more and more flush with the Housing. Like the EVO 4G, the volume buttons were great, but the POwer button was a pain in the ass. The EVO 3D buttons were horrifying. The were slightly raised this time but hard as hell to press. But I try not to worry about the buttosn so much. Its gets people thinking a little too much and then they start to think about returning it HEHE. Id say if they start to get real frustrating for you, maybe u can get a replacement and see if another one differs from the one u have now?....thats what I did with my EVO 3D and the second one was a world of difference...

Some rezounds have buttons that pop out a bit and some rezounds have buttons that are flush with the bezel. Not an actual difference in the devices, it is a difference in the plastic pieces(volume rocker/power button). If you open up the device you will see what I am referring to.
Being a incredible 2 user for ovet a year...I stoll can't get used to volume buttons on the opposite side

My buttons look just like the pics. I can see the protrusion and feel it if I run my finger along the edge.
The volume rocker is in the same position as my old phone so it works great for me.
I would have preferred the power button on the side of the phone as I think it would be easier to push it one handed. Like right below the volume rocker so I could press it easily with my middle finger when holding the phone in my left hand. As it is, sometimes I unintentionally adjust the volume at the same time as hitting the power button due to holding the phone with my other fingers in that area. I'm sure I will get used to it and my hand position will adjust and it will become second nature for me to avoid doing that.
At first the buttons were annoying, but I have gotten used to them!!
I take it you're in the graduate program "Human Factors& Ergonomics".
This is my first smartphone, the buttons work great.
I wish they offered phones in different varieties for different sized people. for instance, I'm tall and have big hands so these 'small' phones like the Rezound are a bit if a pain to use. i'd like a much bigger phone that fits in my hand better and is easier to use the touchscreen(I keep accidentally hitting the wrong buttons/links on the screen).
The power and volume buttons i agree are difficult.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
This is far from my first HTC device... and not my first android. I have been around since the G1 days and followed the development since early 2007. All have been HTC phones.
The buttons are just a bit of a pain and a little more thought would have been nice. I love the phone otherwise though.
I did a slight mod to my TPU case that helps a lot with using the volume buttons.
I am a fan of good well thought out design. I am not a fan of design for designs sake. The rezound borders that line in a few places but overall I like it.
This was mostly just an observation I noticed and thought I would share.
The only thing that annoys me I'd that I'd like for the headphone jack to be on the opposite side. When I put my phone in landscape I turn it to the left so the buttons are by my right hand. When I have headphones plugged in, I have to rotate it the other way so the plug doesn't get in the way. It's just a minor annoyance.

Power/Lock button

Is it just me, or is the power/lock button annoyingly hard to press sometimes. I wish it had a more noticeable "click" to it, or was raised just slightly more than it is.
I've had the phone since it was released and I love it, but I was just curious what other people think.
it is harder to press than my inc2 was, definitely. a minor thing, but yes, i've noticed it as well.
It surely is a pain. Coming from the OG Inc it was a bit difficult to get use to the power button being on the other side.
This is one of the good reasons to root so you can get wake with the volume buttons! It works so much better.

what he said. and my volume buttons are just as recessed as my power button so its lose/lose with me lol
I agree, I feel that it's also a little bit too recessed that you have to press it longer or harder. It may just be that it's new unit.
I have to say, having used Razr, I am a little bit disappointed with Rezound
I really wish the buttons were like the inc 2, those ones are the best that I've used on a phone. I wanna try to raise these ones, since I've already taken it apart multiple times, but I really don't know how I'd even do it...

I agree 100%, the power button setup has always annoyed the hell out of me.
Whoever designed that setup should lose their job.
Nothing was worse than the sunken power buttons of the thunderbolt. I am amazed that wasn't mentioned yet.

First Impressions

I got me Evo Lte around 11am, and heres what I've noticed so far
The phone is gorgeous. The quality of the materials used feels absolutely amazing in the hand. The weight is simply perfect as well. As a user of both the 4g and 3D, i can say HTC has outdone its previous two evos by miles.
The Lte's buttons are extremely easy to press. It doesnt take much force to make the buttons go down. While the might be viewed as beneficial for some users, others might not like it, as your phone might reboot or dial someone in your pocket.
The kickstand is also superb. I've never used a better kickstand. Although small, you can tell how strong the thing is from the first time you open it. It stands the phone up at 3 different angles. If you have no nails though, you'll probably find yourself having a hard time getting it it open. With a silicone case i found it very difficult to open the kickstand as well, however a tpu case was much less intrusive.
There were some slightly less pleasurable things though:
The kickstand wasnt completely flush with the silver rim on one end. while barely noticeable, it's enough to remind me that this phone is early in HTCs restructuring phase and that i shouldnt expect this phone to be perfect.
When plugging my SD card in, i noticed the same issue as well. Although everything worked properly, the sd card was at the slightest angle from the words "SD Card." Not significant enough to make me not want the phone (read: i love it), but HTC still has come a long ways and should still continue to do so.
The rear cover was also slightly off. Granted this could be from the kickstand, but it exposed some of the internals if i didnt close it with the corner in question first. This in my opinion was definitely not okay. I would be careful with this phone near water.
The rear cover was also very flimsy. It attaches to the red strip on the left and right side, but without anything in the middle. This causes you to be able to push on the plastic and feel it move up and down. Again it made me feel like my phone wasnt as protected as it could be.
Finally to install my screen protector, i took my tpu case off, and along with it comes the rear cover. I am not feeling this rear cover.
All in all, imo the nice things outweigh the bad, but its just something for people to take note of
Initial software for those interested:
HBoot: 1.12.0000

Hardware:
Screen is bright and gorgeous. I usually keep my brightness turned down about 2/3 of the way and it is still pretty bright. Phone is very thin compared with my 3D.
Pretty light but feels more solid than say a SGSII. My kickstand is not quite flush with the case but no biggie to me. Power button is nice and has a good feel to it.
Back cover came off ok but had to give a little force. Not a big fan of the gloss finish on it. Seems like it would scratch very easily. Volume rocker is not part of the back
cover so they are nice and firm compared to the 3D which could feel spongy. Kickstand feels solid even sitting both ways.
Software:
For those asking about Speedtests on 3G, I ran some tests against my Evo 3D. Testing to the same server (Phoenix, AZ)

Awesome, thanks for the mini review! I'm glad you covered the buttons, because I felt that was something reviewers never really touch up on. I owned the 4G and I loved the way the buttons felt, but going to the Evo 3D I felt the power button took a downgrade (it was WAYYY too easy to press IMO).
Can anyone with the phone confirm if a 64 gig sd cards works.

Thanks for the info! Maybe this thread could be retitled as first impressions?
Looks like I'll be waiting for a while yet to receive mine. In the mean time, is there any chance you can confirm two things for me? Both are simple (gimmick stuff):
1.) If you have the camera as one of your lockscreen icons, does pressing the dedicated shutter/camera hardware button skip the lockscreen and take you to the camera app?
2.) Can you record slow motion video @ 720p? This should be an obvious yes, but all reviews I've seen only had 390p or whatever... just curious. I know older HTC phones could (Rezound, for example).

Thanks. Sprint papers say you should be able to bypass lock screen with camera button-- or perhaps I misread?-- so I thought that was the trick. Thanks for both. Odd that slow motion knocks you down to... what is that, 480p I guess?
Can one of you awesome folks check something for me please? I know that if you press and hold the camera button while the camera app is open, it will start burst shooting a ton of pictures. Is there a way to change or disable this? Might not be necessary with the dedicated camera button, but I like being able to hold that button to AF, then release to snap the picture.

I don't have mine in hand yet. Waiting for the inter-office as it was delivered to the main office and I'm remote.
But the shutter button is a two-stage button. So I would think, that pushing it a little gets you the auto-focus. All the way, takes a pic. Just like a digital camera. Holding takes lots of pics. I would assume that the burst mode can also be turned off.
How's the ear piece volume and clarity. That was a problem with the initial evo. Ear piece volume was way quiet, even at the loudest setting.

I read that you have to hold down the camera button for a little bit to have it skip the lockscreen and go straight to camera. Can you test this?

the main speaker is pretty loud and clear, much better thn the evo 3D's.
Call quality, i only have 1-2 bars so voice sounded robotic, but it got decently loud
i couldnt test the loudspeaker cause my call dropped

Yeah, I was mainly referring to the loudness/quality of the ear piece, not speaker phone. I expect the latter to sound so so, but the ear piece should be nice and loud and clear (the galaxy nexus I played with was really loud).
This phone is amazing fellas. You will see why Apple tried to keep it out. Also the vast majority of the reviews don't do it Justice

Thanks. Sprint papers say you should be able to bypass lock screen with camera button-- or perhaps I misread?-- so I thought that was the trick.

Even if your phone has a PIN (or password), if you have the camera app as one of your lockscreen shortcuts you can drag that app to open and it will bypass the PIN screen and just use the camera. Leaving the camera app will then prompt for the password.
That's what I read, I dont have a phone in my hands.
Is tha screen size real noticeable bigger over the E3D ?
