Any one have anything wrong with viewing 3d pictures, that hasn't accepted the ota

I've done no updates to my phone (had it since Wednesday) and I have no issues with 3D pics/vids.
Try rebooting the phone.. (doubt it will help). What you are describing almost sounds like what happens due to a hardware failure.. I've seen flat screen TVs have half the screen be ok, and the other half be all screwed up from faulty hardware

3D working fine here. No OTA!
It seems that you have to let your eyes settle in to get the full effect. Not sure if that's what you're referring to though.

you got to find the SWEET SPOT!!!

Received my EVO 3D......

Very nice improvement over my EVO 4G.
The only negative is the fact I have to deal with the forced password from my IT policy again since I don't see any work arounds yet.
There is a reason for the forced password from your IT department if you want their exchange network to be open on your phone. Getting around it is just undermining the security your IT guys are trying to provide for their network.
Would you happen to have a cable to test HDMI mirroring?
How is the call quality?
after all the noise made over in Sprint forums ...lol...you got yours before me
So you like it pretty well so far? Got a nexus s and plan to swap for the 3d before my 30 days is up (signed up to get the port credit just in case they didnt extend it again, which i just looked and they did...)
Hopefully I wont have a problem with getting one in the next 3 weeks.
Hows the qhd screen? Does the 3d effect work well for you?

No HDMI cable yet.
Call quality seems fine. I don't use the phone much but I just called my dad and he said I sounded fine. He was in the bathroom taking a dump so a little bit of an echo on his end......for obvious reasons.

So far I really like it. Coming from the EVO 4G it isn't a 'huge' change so a lot of things are normal. It isn't like coming from a Blackberry. Love the sense 3.0.
Screen is really nice. Side by side with the EVO 4G you can really see the improvement. I'm not a big fan of the 3D because it messes with my eyes. It is cool...but not worth the headache for me.
Because of the higher resolution screen, the keyboard I normaly use (SmartKeyboard Pro) is stretched a little in landscaping and seems a little too small in portrait. I'll have to try a bunch of other ones. I wasn't too thrilled with the stock keyboard at first but I'll give it a few days.

There is nothing that is harmful to the company in my email or on my phone. Plus I run Lookout on my phone. If it goes missing, I log on and lock the phone. If I can't find it I do a remote wipe. My phone is by my side 24/7 so I know when it is missing within minutes.
The password just ruins the Sense experience. No point of having shortcuts on the lock screen when you have to type in a password.

I've been running a Sense 3.0 ROM on my EVO for weeks, and I have a passcode -- I would even if my employer didn't require it. The lockscreen is still extremely useful with a passcode. Sure, it's not immediate access, but it still decreases the amount of navigation to get to common tasks.

I had a dream last night I had my EVO 3d, im glad to hear that the phone is better than these "credible reviewers" BS troll fodder we seen online.
Now we should be asking is the call quality good enough you could hear the plops?

Call quality was good enough for me. I have never expected crystal clear calling from a cell phone. I think that expectation was set back in the days of older networks and crap phones. I can hear who I was talking to, there was no distortion, and nobody was complaining about how I sounded.
I will set it up on my Ford Sync system in my car today and test it then too.
Loving mine so far. 3D pics are uber cool, the 3D Video equally cool, can't wait to hook it up to the TV.
Only complaint - No flashlight app. Haven't tried any market ones yet though.

and partially because in portrait the 3D is skinnier than the evo 4g
and in landscape its a bit wider then the 4g

Everyone is entitled to their opinion just don't try to shove it down anyone's throat just because you believe its a 'bad' thing. Personally, I use Enhanced Email which allows to bypass the security PIN.
Glad you got your new 3D, I am looking forward to mine soon! Thanks for the mini review

Fast Bootup!

Got my Evo 3d in the morning and it's fully activated. I just wanted to share with everyone how fast this device actually boots up! It goes from off to ready to go in about 10 seconds and that is the fastest (BY FAR) that I have seen on any Android device. My Evo 4G used to take about a minute to turn on.
Here is a youtube video (taken on my 4G) of the 3D booting... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qv-P-R-u-OE
It is not fully off when its doing that. If you disable "fastboot" in settings it will take longer. It is a sort of hibernation like a PC. Also with "fastboot" enabled you will not be able to get to the bootloader.
That's slick! so much for wantign a fun boot animation, no time to enjoy it. I'll still make one anyways though.

Are videos on YouTube tagged with "3D" supposed to play in 3D?

I watch these videos and they play just like any other video.. is this how its supposed to be or are they supposed to be playing in 3D? Anyone else having this issue or know the fix?
Type Tru3D01 in the youtube search. You will see a bunch of videos and movie trailers that work on our phones. Credit to gmanhad
*Edit*
Try 3D Maestro, GoPro 3D Highlight Reel, 3D sticking my hand out of youtube. There's a bunch...you will see the 3D logo to the right of the vid.
Yeah i do see the 3D next to the videos you listed, but they seen to play like regular videos, I am not having the 3d effect like when I take my own 3d video?

Really? I was going to question whether you can personally see 3D or not but since you can with your own videos, that is really weird.
Will the OTA fix it?

3d is landscape only in YouTube, sorry if i offended ur intellect

If anyone's wondering, the Evo3D can play stereoscopic 3D videos as well.
My phone has done this a couple times. I had to turn the phone off, remove battery for a few seconds and replace it. It worked both times for me (albeit annoying I had to do this). It was affecting both my YouTube 3D and the Green Hornet movie. But spiderman 3D was still showing in 3D, weird

It wors for me while watching on my phone if i click on the HD icon.
If you upload a video to YouTube be sure to add tags to it. I added things like 3d, EVO, tru3d01 and some others. And my 3d did stop working 1 time so far but after a reboot it was fine.

Glitches with 3D camera mode

Im having some problems with the 3D mode, for some reason the 2 images are way out of alignment horizontal(3d alignment adjustment doesnt help) and only a few pixels out vertically. Its really damn annoying. Anyone else had this problem?
Well was gunna suggest the 3D alignment... but no. Mine works fine. Sorry man.

It's alright now, I flashed a new ROM anyways lol. I think I accidently removed something that was vital to the alignment.

Swyped from my Orange Peeled Synergist EVO

Just got a replacement...

And i am extremely happy.. Im telling you if you have any hardware issues at ALLLLL replace asap. its free so why not! Like my screen was all messed up in games n stuff, that problem is gone, my colors on my screen are more vibrant!!!!! Like idk, prob got a diff screen manufacturer but everything (vids games n pics) does not look washed out at allll anymore. I love my phone! Hmmm what else...battery cover seems tighter fit and thats about it. Just thought you guys should know that if your screen looks faded (netflix is a perfect example to tell when you launch it the red is supposed to look reallllllly red-not faded red) you should def replace akghsakl
Does your device still creak when you apply pressure to it? This alone makes me want to replace my Amaze because it is really annoying when typing anything

this can happen when you constantly pull the cover when flashing. It its plastic, and will wear.

wait so are you saying that the amaze has a good display now? like how the mt4g and the sensation had two different displays? where when you view from the side angles the blacks stay black? please confirm!
And what in the world do you mean by free? I had hardware issues the first week and tmobile told me that because it wasn't broken they wouldn't replace it.
@branso yes that problems been fixed, my amaze fits very tight right now.
@teo yes the amaze has 2 displays, I can view from all angles and the colors are way better and do not fade while turning the screen
@Craig its free bro under one year warranty that comes with every phone. They have to replace it. Call again say that your screen flickers a lot or something n that you want a replacement but UNROOT!

if you broke the screen they wont replace it, if you dropped it in water they wont replace it, etc. if it is a defect issue NOT cause by youthey will replace it for free! ive done it on my hd7 and almost on my mytouch 4g. Im on prepaid. you might have to make it seem like the problem is worse than it really is and tell them it isnt usable.
Also, I think this is funny and messed up at the same time. they have been using different screen since the desire, incredible, etc. making AMOLED and some SLCD then stop making AMOLED then producing 2 different kinds of SLCD for phones is freaking retarded. they should stick to Sony or something. my sensation had a amazing screen, didnt bother checking which one it was though. my mytouch 4g had a horrible washed out screen and decided not to bother replacing it and just get the HD7 and my HD7 had dead pixels and the digitizer was messed up just like on my sensation. Hopefully when i get an Amaze it wont have any of these issues. It seems there is always a issue with HTCs screens, i wonder if they ever browsed through XDA before lol.. they should glue their digitizer PROPERLY to the LCD so no dust gets through, or screen bleed, etc. or just go with LED since they are mostly stuck to the digitizer. my brother incredible has an amazing screen with no issues, its an AMOLED.
Well I have a problem with games being unplayable because the touch screen keeps freaking out when I start playing. Was that the problem you had and by returning it your got it fixed?

AUO here, not liking the video quality in Netflix and the text blurring when scrolling. would be curious if the Amaze is built with anything but the AUO, would like the Sharp screen as they tend to have better quality at the expense of viewing angle.
Ya but the question is, will they replace it if u have unlocked your bootloader...

no, they will not. it voids the warrenty. you will have to relock it and unroot it, in other words restore it completely stock. also, never mention you have had it rooted. they wil not replace it, with my experiances that is.
hmmmmm interesting... there might be a problem with my phone rather soon... lol

Wll in that case then even if u relock it ur still screwed because it go into the bootloader it says "re-locked" . I was just curious if anyone had tried because i thought htc had stated that it "may" void your warranty. But even then we all know that means its voided haha

Ill let you guys know if its voided or not within a couple of days, i sent my amaze in today so yea. i doubt it either way theyd factory reset it. you think they really care -__- lmao. they wont even think of that unless it LOOKS rooted

Well they may look for it, if they've been told to. And they have this whole "unlocking ur bootloader and possibly voiding ur warranty" set up for a reason, and the only 1 i can think of is to get more money from us for repairs by making themselves no longer liable to honoring a warranty. But i am definately anxious to see wat happens, please let us know...
