So, after watching half of the green Hornet, all the while tricking myself into thinking I was experiencing the movie in 3D, I realized that it was, in fact, not playing in 3D.
Just to verify, I played the movie on my wife's EVO 3D and, sure enough, hers was playing in 3D. The placement of the 3D switch doesn't seem to matter.
Anyone else having this issue?
Anyone who has problems with this can fix it with a battery pull.
Try a reboot, I've had that issue before and a reboot fixed it.
What fixes it for me is recording my own 3D movie for a few seconds. Save it and anytime Green HOrnet will not play in 3D i go to the movie i made. Watch it. Then try Green Hornet, its magically in 3D again.
Battery pull does not work for me.

The Green Hornet is no longer in 3d. The first time I started the movie it was fine, now its in 2d?
mine did that to me also , after a restart it was fine ..
I've had this bug also. When it happens, 3D videos on Youtube also will only display in 2D. Restart fixes like mentioned above.
just had this happen to me as well. tried showing off the green hornet in 3d to my son and it was playing in 2d. when he looked at me funny i grabbed it and watched for a second and i thought damn, its a good picture but it doesn't look 3d. rebooted the phone and it worked fine. hope this isn't a common occurance.
Yep, I dropped my EVO 4G taking it out of my pocked in a parking lot today, and the screen is cracked to he!!. Need to decide whether to get another EVO 4G or move to the EVO 3D.
I like the idea of the better quality screen and faster processor in the 3D, but from reading some if the "issues" threads here and elsewhere, not looking for a new device that will randomly reboot, have worse reception, overheat faster (it's flipping hot here in Houston!), etc. The lack of a kickstand and where they place the charging port seems like a huge fail as well.
I don't root or anything like that. This is a work phone and to be honest, I don't have the time to mess with rooting and stuff. I just need it to work right out of the box. I have a 16GB micro SD card that I will use for storing pictures, music, etc. I currently use the Sprint extended battery (2600 mAh) in my EVO 4G and get through a normal day with 35-40% left. Not sure if I will need an extended battery with the 3D?
Anyway, for those of you that came from the EVO 4G, was it worthwhile?
Thanks!

Well the only deciding factor is whether or not you want HTC Sense 3.0. Yes the phone is faster and such but if you don't root your phone you won't truly take advantage of all it has to offer.
My advice is to go to the sprint store and try out their in-store demo and see for yourself if you want to upgrade.
I personally have the EVO 4G and the EVO 3D and they are both great devices, the EVO 3D just improves on the 4G tremendously.
its a worthy upgrade. do it
also keep in mind that the galaxy s2 is coming to sprint soon. another bad ass smartphone. they say within the next month or two.
but why wait.
id pull the plug if i were u im really starting to love this phone
I broke the screen on my og evo and after bictching at sprint for not repairing it I got an upgrade early so I sold my evo 4G plus extended battery for 160$ (with broken screen) I pay 55$ out my pocket and i'm a happy camper, and besides sometimes the camera app getting freeze after opening vertically, everything else works the same, you will need a second battery if you use it the much but this one does have a longer battery life tho so is up to you, the one the seido came out is ugly as hell so im waiting to see if htc gets a nice one like the one they did for the thunderbolt (really like the phone when had it btw)
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Just went by my local Sprint store to take a look at the 3D. Good news is that the 3D will still fit in my universal car cradle. I was worried that the charing port would be covered by the left side of the cradle, but the port is high enough up on the side to clear.
I use this universal car cradle, BTW:

Though a little weary of the stock battery life, I told my IT guy to get me the 3D. Hopefully it gets drop-shipped to my office in the next 48 hours. I will be the first in my company to use it for business, so hopefully it works just like the 4G does (synching with Outlook e-mail, calendar, contacts).
Thanks for the quick replies!

Don't worry you will be a happy customer, if you love the 4g then the 3D will blow your mind. Dual core goodness all the way.

I hope you're right. I really like my EVO 4G. No major bugs for me with that device running 100% stock from Sprint. A little nervous about the 3D. Hoping I didn't make a bad choice.

You will be good let us know what you think about it after you play with it
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
You mean step down to the Evo 3D? IMO you should get the HTC Vogue...

I'd say upgrade. I had the Evo 4G since it was released and then got the Evo 3D the day it was released, haven't looked back. I haven't had a single random reboot since I purchased my 3D. I haven't noticed any problems with my reception here in Kansas City, Missouri, at least no different than my Evo 4G.
As for the overheating, I've not had a single problem with this either, and it was 109 here in KC. I think HTC got rid of the kick stand because it was taking up precious battery room. If it's that big of a deal to you you can always go for the seidio active case that has a built in kickstand.
The stock Evo 3D battery seemed to out perform my Evo 4G battery as well, however I'm now using the seidio 4000mHa super extended battery and my phone will last two days with constant use.
I absolutely love the EVO 3D. It fixed many of my little issues I had with my EVO4g. The only thing that doesn't work right for me is the BlueTooth hook up to my car stereo.
EVO 4g auto hooked up everytime i started the car. never failed. (2011 Subaru STi stock radio)
EVO 3D I have to turn off the bluetooth, re-enable and then pair manually. Sometimes it pairs completely.. sometimes it pairs with only the media portion so I only get music and not phone capabilities.
Other than that, Its a great upgrade.
I always have issues watching 3d videos on youtube. They are very slow, even on wifi. Any suggestions?
I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!
Anyone experience anything like this? It looked exactly like black crush issue.
Scenario: I was watching 'From Paris With Love' on the netflix app when a scene came up with quite a bit of red in it. All of sudden it blocky in just the red areas exactly like the black crush. Don't remember what scene it was but i am kind of hoping it had something to do with the way the app buffers/streams. The reason i day that is whenever i first load a video to watch it will 50 percent of thwart time show the first few seconds blurry then settle in and be fine (except for black crush popping up in dark scenes).
Now the only thing with the buffering is i have never seen any signs of buffering while watching netflix (other than initial load of video). Everything always plays straight thru without any hiccups.
Going to watch it again when i get home. Maybe it was just a fluke or solar flares!?!?!?

Hello, I just picked up a HTC One X+ and was wondering if my experience is out of the ordinary, as this is the first real smartphone I've ever had. I picked up a Samsung Dart last year when I wanted a cheap smartphone, but needless to say this phone is in a different league. :good: I noticed after playing a handful of HD videos, and even standard-def video in the Chrome browser, that the top of the HOX+, back and display in front, got pretty hot. I was expecting this device to run warm occasionally, as the reviews had warned me [1], but not this hot. I downloaded the Battery Widget app and set about finding out what the problem was.
I was able to get the internal temperature up to 55 C after playing a bunch of 1080p HD videos, all downloaded from the Apple movie trailers website [2], in MX Player, which seems to decode in software most of the time. I think 1080p decoding takes up 2 cores out of the 4, as the load average in Android is usually around 2 when I enable the Show CPU Usage overlay. I then really stressed it by playing more than a dozen 1080p HD videos back to back for 30-40 minutes straight, and got it up to 60 C, as shown in the screenshot. At that point, the top of the phone was pretty damn hot; it wouldn't burn you, but you wouldn't want to put it up to your head for a phone call.
Do all these quad-core smartphones get this hot or is mine possibly defective? I've been looking for other threads that mention overheating, on this phone and others like the GS3 or Note 2, looks like a few people have been able to get their HOX/+ up to the 60s occasionally [3], while other quad-core phones hit high 40s and low 50s max.
This is a very good smartphone otherwise, haven't gotten voice and internet activated yet, but the display is beautiful and the software is very snappy. The audio seems to crackle a bit in podcasts, not sure if it's the speaker or decoding software. Photos are good, not great, and video is average, both don't seem as good as what I've seen from the original Galaxy Note. But these are the handful of blemishes, it's a very good device in most other ways, pleasure to use the display and the nice build fits my hand well.
Should the overheating be a deal-breaker or am I just being too picky with my first real smartphone? The video is important to me: I was planning on using this phone to watch HD video on the go, on that beautiful 720p display. I'm torn, let me know what you think.

At 60.4 C skin will burn... Does the phone continue to run at that temp or does it shutdown? Also, is you phone stock or have you done modifications? I do not believe that to be normal. My phone has gotten hot before but never hot enough to burn. I suggest contacting HTC for their opinion. They would want to know if they have phones in circulation that can actually cause harm when used.

My HOX+ continues to run fine when its status is Overheat, as far as I can tell. I'm running the HTC Sense 4+ Android 4.1.1 that comes with the HOX+, specifically HTC build 1.17.707.1. I have not modified the pre-installed Android software at all, other than adding a few apps. The temperature drops back into the 50s within a minute and back to the baseline mid-30s within 2-3 mins.
Do you run HD videos for half an hour or more at a time? Because if not, I haven't been able to stress my HOX+ that much in any other way that I normally use it, as I don't play heavy 3D games. I have been thinking about trying to stress it with the Nvidia Glowball demo that got it really hot for that guy in the third link I gave, just to see how hot it gets that way.
If anybody else can try the same HD videos and see if they can reproduce, that might help. You can download 1080p HD trailers at davestrailerpage.co.uk (use the procedure linked at the top "Apple Trailer Download Tips" for Apple trailers) and play several of them back to back in MX Player- best in playlist mode with no break between videos, that's what I did to get the temp up that high- to see if you can get the same internal temperature in the Battery Widget app by Elvison, though other apps that report battery temperature may report the same number. Or there's always the Glowball demo.
I don't think the outside of the HOX+ actually reaches 60 C, I think that is an internal temperature, the outside is likely a bit cooler. I was able to hold the top of the phone in my hands after it got that hot. It was uncomfortable and I just wouldn't want to put it up to my ears and face!
I will contact HTC soon and see what they say. It would help if others can independently verify similar behavior.

I had exactly the same problem, i too was considering returning the phone, whilst playing mp4`s the phone would heat up to the point that the status led flashes red and green (external about 45 C), the battery would only last about 2 hrs too, i then flashed arhd and elitekernel, now the phone never heats up even when playing 3d games such as horn, nova 3, mc4, etc and battery life is great with about 5-7 hours of hd mp4 playback depending on brightness, of course flashing these things involves rooting so if you are not willing to make the risk you are probably better off returning the phone.
I have the same problem (it's over 62 C degree). I sent my phone to their official service. They changed the mainboard but it didn't solve the overheating problem. Then everything on my phone went wrong: Overheating, screen flickering, battery drains (phone closes at 14% battery), custom lags...
Evereytime I asked about the problems they told me the same. "Heat is normal... You're the first person who claim this problem... Send your phone to our service..." etc. However, their empty words didn't solve my problem.000
So, I sued to the HTC and it's distributor here.
