Damn, just upgraded my wife to the OG EVO. Hope the Devs stick around the 3VO when this comes out...
They likely will our phone has a better CPU and gpu if I'm not mistaken.

What would make someone leave the EVO 3D for this?
It is a downgrade from the 3d, but not by much.
Wow I read some of the comments and one of them said something about not being able to get ASOP due to the dual cameras......... I wanna find that moron and show him what a ass kicking looks like in 3d... After he gets out of his mini coma that I induce

sheer fncking idiocy....that really gets me fumin'...does it occur to some that you could always, I dunno, just ignore that second rear cam?
That's like saying that have 4WD on a car is going to prevent people from making performance exhausts...

Just rumors that AOSP will not work because of the dual cameras. Someone said if Cyanogen goes, all other devs will go too. As Nate and the other guy said, they can disable one camera and leave out the 3D features in CM.
Cyanogen can blow balls all I care lol.. they make a good product but if I wanted AOSP i woulda brought a nexus phone

In the article, the table says "media classes: image" what does that mean ?

I really don't get all the fuss about AOSP. I used CM7 a lot on the Evo and it is nice, but between Launcher Pro and Sense 3.0 I'm more than satisfied. In any event, I think Cyanogen would want to take on the challenge of getting a ROM to work on the 3d, versus just moving on to another device.
Who gives a crap about the damn 3d, I used it for 2 days to get the oohs and ahhs and now I'm done. If cyanogen can bake in something as complex as 4G doesn't it seem like they can get a cam working?

The only thing I really preferred about AOSP was the battery life. But being that I get good battery on this one anyways I dont really care one way or the other.
Other than not having 3D, what makes this a worse phone? Is it the same processor?

I know I'm probably being overly negative, but why does it seem like HTC has completely dropped the ball with the 3D features on our device?? An app like this would be awesome. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how you would get it to work with the Evo 3D unless LG open sourced their code. The only other thing I can think of is if something like chainfire added 3D support for the Evo 3D.

Why would HTC be the one to 'continue development'?
HTC has already satisfied the expectations of the EVO3D project on their end.
The function of the 3D technology, as far as HTC's concerned, was to "Sell a ****-ton of cellphones."
They've accomplished their goal. They've opened htcdev, and released the code for developers who want to mess around with programming 3D applications.
I don't see HTC spending too much more time 'pushing the envelope' in 3D development for this phone. They've done their job, this project was a success, and they have way too many other handsets coming out all the time.
Just my 2 cents.

HTC dropped the ball because it was really just a gimmick to begin with...the real beauty of the device was the specs on it...not the 3D functionality imo...and even then, i really wish Qualcomm would step up the game with CPU architecture...Samsung's Exynos is going to eat us Evo3d users alive :[

Nope. The framework is different for the 3D on the Evo and the LG. You would have to rewrite the thing with HTC's framework to make it work.
Open any game up in the app and it will try to split the foreground and background and recombine both in 3D
In my experience converting anything to a format it was never created in has had little to no added effect. We'll see though if this is any different.
On another note, nice to see where all of LG's development was during the G2X fiasco.

Engadget said that HTC told them it was a prototype for the next evo but decided to not do 3D. thats fine anyways because i know its whats slowing down our ics update. i wont buy another 3D phone ever
Sorry, not interested. 3d seems to be the reason that we can never get the camera working on the various roms. I have used 3d exactly 6 times since last june, all to show how it works.
If you love it, then I am happy for you and hope that they come out with a 3d variant for you, but not at the expense of the regular one.
Mmm gimmicky closed source implementations that delay developers...nah no thanks. Keep it open and honest.

why blame it on 3d none of the msm8660 devices that have cam working on aosp [sensation.vivid.rezound] have gotten it working from source...theyre just using the leaked libs/binaries they got from their ics leak..we would be able to do the same if we got an ics leak of our own..

Yea looking at the video and where they show the EVO 4G LTE 3D (how horrid a name that'd be) prototype they show a bunch of other prototypes that weren't final next to it also. one even looked like the OG EVO.
Plus there is a reason 3D looks a bit better on the Optimus 3d (it does I promise) and that's because of the lower resolution. So I don't know how well a 720p stereoscopic display would come out.
I think ill just wait for the "EVO 4G 3D HD skyrocket SIII Maxx" to come out for my next device
I believe it would be smart for sprint to release 2 variations, a 3D one and the current one. The current 3D users could keep their 3D feature while having an even better phone or for the ppl tht don't want 3D, they could still get this badass phone! Sprint/HTC would be making more money and everyone who wants one of the variations would be happy tht there is the option....
Seems like a WIN WIN situation to me....

I'm not saying that it's for sure coming, but....
If it really was coming, they would absolutely not come out and say that right now. They want this new phone to be the biggest and must hyped thing on the market. There is now way they would compromise the launch with news if an upgraded model on the horizon. Of course they aren't admitting to one being made right now.

Sure it may have been a gimmick but to me, so is LTE. I've had the og EVO since launch and only recently picked up the 3d and have never used Wimax cuz it never even came close to.my area. LTE won't either and just like the "promised" Wimax how long will it really take?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Now, I have no intentions of getting the LTE but if I did I would say kudos for the lack of 3d....totally worthless (for me at least....I know some of you like it).
I liked the 3D portion as a novelty, but hated how it made getting working cameras such a pita.
I would like to have the 4g LTE but I'm with the other guy who said It's a crock, I'm on my 2nd WiMAX phone and have never used it beyond a trip to DC ..I highly doubt LTE will be in my area anytime soon. I'll pass on this years evo

It's kind of cool to show to people who've never seen it, but beyond that, I've tired of it. I wouldn't buy a phone based on its 3D capabilities (not why I bought this one either). I just don't think 3D on a phone is a killer feature.
Just wait until an iPhone comes out with 3D. I actually hope one does. Then it will force other phones to have it. As much as I hate Apple, they do have a place in the market. If they do something that Android doesn't have, like a NEW 3D phone, other manufacturers will almost be forced to do it.

Thank goodness. The last thing we needed was another fail 3D device. Kudos, Sprint!
I've used 3dcamera about 10 times.
It's just not worth it when 98% of my contacts can't view 3d. They can't send me 3d. Share a 3d image or vid on facebook no one can view it.
I was hoping for a 3d landscape GUI (sense) that didn't happen.
Only worth it for 3d games, and even then its not all that great.
I get WiMAX everywhere except for out in suburbia, so the LTE rollout when it happends here will be a great addition.

I've said this before but I'll go ahead and say it again.
If Apple drops an iphone with 3D it will likely be a huge success. The main reason is because the people at Apple are smart/savvy and they will release enough 3D content to make it a real feature. The support will be there, apps, games, videos..it will prolly be loaded. The HTC/Android 3D is a complete and total joke..it was forgot about as soon as it shipped.
People will hate and say all the normal stuff they say about the iphone, but if it has more content, more stuff that makes you go "wow, that's cool" then it will by far and away smash the Evo 3D.
3D isn't going away. There will be 3D phones in the future.
Just because Sprint, who is notorious for making terrible business decisions, passed on a 3D phone, it doesn't mean the technology is dead.
I personally only take 3D pictures and videos. I will only buy 3D phones from this point forward. Buying a 2D phone at this point is similar to buying an SD TV.
When I buy the Avengers bluray, it Erik be the 3D version. When I but a new TV, it will have 3D. And when I buy a new phone, it will have 3D. If Sprint doesn't want to sell me one, fine by me. I'll just give someone else my money when I buy it and activate it somewhere else.
And hopefully it will be made by a company that actually believes in open source. HTC treats their drivers and source as proprietary and refuses to release it in a timely manner. That's the only reason it was so hard to get the 3D features working on custom ROMs, because HTC refused to release source and drivers for it.
Limited translation
The 3D feature is nice but with limited translation to any other platform, it's stuck in novelty mode. Perhaps once there are more devices and means of viewing the 3D content it will be a big deal.
LTE on the other hand not so novelty, better penetration into structures is desperately needed WiMax is sad in this area. I'm still dragging my feet on a LTE device until it's in my area though, not buying on a promise Sprint doesn't keep those very well and are rather slow when they do.

You're probably right about iPhone and 3D and content but, iPhone would benefit far more from a 4G variant and larger screen, that would quiet us Android users down a notch and really excite iPhone fans...it might even convert a few folks. 3D would just be cute fad.

Good, because with all the issues just trying to get fully working ROMs and proprietary drivers not being made available, its just not worth the effort. Things will be faster if 3D drivers are not part of the equation.

I can't say that I am even a little sad. The 3D was a joke. I wish I had never changed from my Evo 4G. The hardware, while I guess was nicer, wasn't worth the upgrade. The 5MP camera wasn't as good as the 8MP. Not to mention the 3D driver issues. The only positive thing I have to save is that the physical camera button was nice.
