My old TMo HD2 came with both Transformers movies pre-loaded, which are pretty darn good movies to showcase on the (then) top of the line WinMo 6.x phone. And I think it is the G2x that came with Avatar. So what I don't get, is why did the primo top of the line, and first 3D phone, our EVO 3D, come pre-loaded with this crap Green Hornet movie?
Yes, the 3D effects are amazing! The early office scene with Cameron Diaz is jaw dropping. And I use that scene the most to show off what our phone can do to my friends. But the storyline, the acting, pretty much everything other than the 3D effects suck. It is a waste of disc space, and was a waste of my time watching it, but i did want to complete it, so my fault there.
Why, this being a high visibility showcase phone for HTC, didn't the pre-loads it with a 3D movie equal to its status? Why didn't they load Avatar in 3D on it? Or wait for a huge blockbuster 3D movie to come later on, and offer it as a free download? Geez! If it weren't for it being pretty amazing 3D effects to show off to others, this movie would be erased. HTC, or Sprint, really bungled this one.
I think the same, whst a waste of time and resourses!I wish they just give us the option to choose something good, like Samsung does with movies for there phones, well the htc HD came with Transformers and S Vibrant with Avatar, it's probably a T-mobile thing to get better movies to there phones. Well, they have to deal with there crappi T-service!

actually i dont mind the green hornet 3d on the phone... turns out to be a real sales pitch for the guys wondering about our new phone. i just go to the part where the guy blows up the dude in the club as hes walking away, that fiery portion wows most of my viewers...

The movie blows, that's why.
That's also why they gave it away free.. lol
How do I get the movie to play? Is it in the sd card? I'm just wondering, cause I'm useing my old sd card from my epic.

Yeah it's on the SD card that came with the phone. It's in a format you can't mess with and seems only readable by the Watch app.
You have to create/login to the HTC Sense account on the phone in order to download the license to watch the flick.
I just wish they picked a better 3D movie that showed off the 3D a little better. The Green Hornet only has a little bit of 3D action going on. But a free movie is free and I can't complain about that.
Guess I agree, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes for them to be able to pre-load these movies on the phones. I'm guessing there is some correlation b/w how lackluster that movie is and how Sprint is able to give away tons and tons of copies of that movie with their phone.
Green Hornet was hilarious. How could you not like it?!
Although I do agree, for a flagship device, they should've included something with a bigger crowd.
It all boils down to Sprint partnering with Sony on the release of the phone, which around the time of the release of The Green Hornet on DVD and blu-ray. It's a smart move by Sony in getting the movie in more people's hands, while also helping to promote HTC's new phone on several of Sony's marketing tours.

I gotta agree...Sprint could have chosen a better movie.
G2x was bone stock vanilla with very minimal bloatware..
Tmobile HD2 only cam with 1 transformers movie (im almost 100% on that as I only had it for 13 days and returned it)
Tmobile Samsung Vibrant came with avatar....
I've had all three of the phones listed..
And yeah green hornet ****ing sucked.. Seth rogan had 3 funny lines.. but he hasn't done anything good since pineapple express
Is rather have nothing than a bunch of garbage. But they did make a option to delete it.. and with root/s-off/cm7
Hopefully I will be happy

HA. they probably track how many folks watch it and how many times and use it to increase their "not so great" box office numbers.
I agree with the OP. Though after watching Avatar 3D on the EVO 3D, everything else seems lacking. The Green Hornet was not filmed with a 3D camera like Avatar. It used post-processing to simulate the 3D effect and thus does not pop like a movie filmed with a 3D camera.
I wouldnt say EVERYTHING else was lacking Alice In Wonderland was pretty good in 3D on the EVO. And i found myself taken the phone form my daughter when Megamind was on too LOL

I am starting sprint service an i am wondering what phone i should get i have already had the evo an epic an i liked the evo more besides the screen
Now with all the problems with the evo 3d should i get it or maybe the nesux because i didnt really care about 3d its just a battery drannner
So what do you all think?
you will prob get hw003.. if we are to ref the evo 4g .. hw003 had most bugs worked out.
and yes. i would recommend it. i am not looking back at my evo4g one bit. love this phone.
Thanks i really love the feel an look of this phone i just want to make sure its not a over advertised cheap device but i plan on gettin it around the 4th of next month i was wanting to wait a couple of shippments to make sure i get a device that has no problems i loved my evo and i hope to love this phone just as much
once you go Evo you never go back!lol.naw but on a serious note this phone is just like OG evo bigger cooler brother with a few trricks up his sleeve.
The 3d is better than the HERO.
IF you do get it, get a pair of $ .99 reading glasses.
The preceding is the reason that companies "BUY" engineering: so they have products which are downgraded (dpi/pixels p i ?) and features which are legacy to the original specs (1024 dpi).
BTW if the ceo of htc uses the evo 3d for email: .... I hope he has reading glasses. LMFAO #shortsighted
Why do u need reading glasses
Pull the trigger on the Evo 3D worth the updgrade from the 4G, it's faster and Sense runs great. I agree the whole 3D thing is a fad and almost useless on this phone but after seeing it the geek in me was impressed...I've had it for less than 24 hours but I am already used to the higher resolution....so far no problems.
i would reccomend it
Yes.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I would highly recommended it. Best phone I've owned. Top notch !

Hi 'leggs,' here's why. The default font size, especially in messaging and mail, is just too small for all but 'young eyes!' Sprint forgot many of us paid premium dollar for a large screen with LARGE print (fonts) and icons. There is no font adjustment anywhere on the phone. Nore any app in the Market. I spoke with Sprint 2nd tier tech support and they said there is no cure. I have a new EVO 3D and I'm taking it back mainly for this reason. Eye strain sucks. I want my 4G back.........with Gingerbread. Others may love this phone, but mine is buggy......it freezes often, the camera acquired a green tint, and several navigational arrows in texting and url writing are simply gone. I think the 4G came 'out of the box' on its' first day as a much more usable device.

Absolutely love this phone. Even if u don't use 3D this thing is polished.
Phone is phenomenal! Even the 3D is a blast and way better than I thought it would be. You get used to the viewing angles quick, and if you are constantly under the influence of substances, the 3D is 10x better. Just watch Green Hornet high as a kite, then afterwards, envy the speed of the phone in general. I love this handset!
Highly recommended

Yeah, what Paw Paw said! Although I can deal with the smaller font caused by the higher resolution, I do appreciate the issue since my own vision has always been poor. I've been wearing glasses since I was four and trying to focus on something you can't see well is a pain. I wish we had font control. That and root access would make this the perfect phone.
In the UK it's really this or Sensation in HTC terms and in 3D terms the LG Optimistic 3D & is it better than both of them?

Who Could Have Guessed: 3D Hurts Your Eyes
After experimenting on 24 adults, a research team at the University of California, Berkeley has determined that viewing content on a stereo 3D display hurts your eyes and your brain. The scientific term is “vergence-accomodation,” which means that the eye must constantly adjust to both the distance of the physical screen and that of the 3D content. This can supposedly cause visual discomfort, fatigue, and headaches, which I had thought were just a part of life but apparently there’s a scapegoat: 3D technology.
In his Journal of Vision article, The Zone of Comfort: Predicting Visual Discomfort with Stereo Displays, author Martin S. Banks (also professor of optometry and vision science) writes, “When watching stereo 3D displays, the eyes must focus — that is, accommodate — to the distance of the screen because that’s where the light comes from. At the same time, the eyes must converge to the distance of the stereo content, which may be in front of or behind the screen.”
According to the article, 3D content viewed over a short distance (like with desktops and smartphones) is more visually uncomfortable when the stereo content is placed in front of the screen. In a movie theater, it’s the opposite: Stereo content that is placed behind the screen causes more discomfort than scenes that jump out at you.
With the explosion of 3D-capable gadgetry such as televisions and mobile phones, understanding just what this kind of technology is doing to our bodies may help us better use it in the future. The only problem is that technology tends to far outpace research, and until we get a better handle on its effects, we’re more or less walking blindly into a 3D world.

Supposedly Vizio has stepped up with their latest 3D TV's. Check reviews on Amazon....Tons of people praise them. My friend just bought the 47" 480hz model for $899 with 2 free shutter glasses @ Costco. He hasn't even checked out the 3D but keeps raving about the PQ of the 2D. He said he wouldn't even care if his TV didn't have 3D. Needless to say, I'm now looking @ the 55" myself($1,499). I've always been a Samsung guy when it comes to TV's but Vizio may change my outlook. I'm going to check them out myself this weekend. If not, I have a PC Richards hook up lol
Make sure you guys read up on the difference between "Full Array" and "EdgeLit" LED, then decide what's best for you

I have a 50" panasonic plasma 3d THX cert. and the picture is stunning and I'm pretty sure it was voted best picture blah blah blah. All I can say is DO NOT buy the DLP. From my experience and research its a cheap technology developed for tube televisions to keep up with flat panels that over time won't hold up as well as plasma and lcd. Plus everyone that I have spoke to has had their dlp television bulbs fail after 1.5 yrs. Ohh by the way 3d gaming is soooo fun and 3d movies are great too.
i moved my 42" Panasonic plasma to my room and bought a 55" Samsung 3D and it is incredible only wish i had gone bigger. this drove my evo 3d purchase.
Yeah I've read the same thing about the DLPs. They also make your place look kinda old.
I can afford a LCD now, but if I wait until the holidays I could get 3d for a nice price.
Football is getting ready to start, and I love me some Xbox. Decisions.

Thank you. I currently have a 55" Toshiba Regza that I love. Got it 2 years ago. If I could get a good sell for that one I'd be able to. I need to start researching more I guess.

@JayHarper I came from the Toshiba Regza as well(3 years old). Loved my Toshiba but it was time for an upgrade and with having the Evo and building my 3D collection it was time to get a device that could show the content i've been making to all my friends at once and not have to pass around my phone to 20 different people at a time..Loaded up on 10 pairs of 3D glasses and everyone can sit back and enjoy at once..
Playing Black Ops in 3D on my Xbox 360 was a shocker to me as well..Maybe I can dust off my PS3 too and enjoy what they have to offer.

Have Atrix now for about 3 Months. Longer I have it, the more I like it. Tried out Thrill @ AT&T a few times. About 3 hours total. Ran Quadrant & Smartbench on both, Thrill about 10% faster, prob because of Multi-Channel CPU & RAM. Fast & smooth. Also ran Linpack, 44MFLOPS on Atrix & 69MFLOPS on Thrill. Screen brightness & extreme angle visibility about the same. A little heavier & bigger, but not much. So if u want to try out 3D & have a little bigger screen, then Thrill may b for u. FreddieBoy
I think it really depends on what you want. If 3D does it for you, you will want the Thrill. Personally I wouldn't give up my Atrix unless something really special came along. I believe the Atrix is a more "mature" phone if you catch my drift, while most other phones I consider to be "toys". The Atrix isn't full of gimmicky sh*t, and the hardware hasn't really been tapped into yet to show it's full capabilities, so it will only get better.

Played with a thrill in a store for a while yesterday. Screens cool and 3D is neat but hurt the **** out of my eyes after a few minutes. 2D regular pics were kinda crappy and 3d stuff isn't viewable right off of phone. (3D pics show as 2 side by side images on a computer). Needless to say I bought an ATRIX instead of waiting till Sunday for a Thrill. Cool idea but it wasn't great. Nice gimmick more than anything.

I hav had the thrill for a week and im returning it for the atrix. The 3d is kool but not a selling point. it is fast with the dual channel but it tends to run out of memory pretty quick. I have noticed that the lg stock ui is worst then moto blur. When changing the ui to launcher pro did notice the phone was faster. ONce it is rooted and has cm7 running will be a great phone. Once I heard Lg will be releasing a better version at the bigging of the year decided i should go with the atrix. The battery life is really bad. If yuo use the 3d the battery just goes. i get about 3 to 4 hrs with nomal use and 3d. I would stick with the atrix personally but then again it is your hone so your decision. You still have days left so try it out for a week and see if it makes your day. Im getting 2800 on quadrant and 72 on linpack with the thrill

I'm pretty sure the thrill uses the same style 3D as the new Nintendo 3Ds. Case in point the 3Ds is having horrible sales ( that's why the price went from $250 to like $170 so fast) because it's making a lot of people nauseous (I played one at BB and it was not good lol)
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Are we talking about the phone that I have? Because the 3D the Thrill uses is true stereoscopic 3D at 1080p. Which is why you can shoot a video with the thing, DLNA it over to your *insert brand here* 3D TV and look like what those TVs are intended to display 3D in.
The 3Ds is having crappy sales because Nintendo was grasping at straws to try to keep people buying there crap. It is aweful 3D. At launch it already had a warning to parents to not let kids under five use it for the "potential" sight impairments as they got older. LOL! This is not the Thrill's kind of 3D. The 3Ds was a gimmick for that system.
Understand, I am not targeting anyone specifically with my post but with a phone like this you have to spend more than a few hours in a store with the device to get an idea what's up. I was a manager at a Best Buy location as the mobile manager and moved to manage home theatre.
What I am getting at is I was there long enough to see customers reactions to the first 3D TVs. Like you we kept hearing the whole 3D TV is a gimmick I will wait and see what happens. It is not new technology. It is older technology that had great potential that was waiting for the technology of other devices i.e. hardware, to catch up to its capabilities.
So we go from the big screen at the theatre, to the TV in your living room, to now being available on a cell phone. The Optimus 2x and the Thrill are smokin' fast phones the first to have stereoscopic 3D. The EVO 3D, well I was disappointed with that but its still a decent phone. The Thrill and the others coming will be glitchy and have a few downsides because they are the frontrunners. Honestly, I was not expecting LG to put a phone out like this and have a launch as smooth as its been. The phone is very fast that is not a real argument. The battery life does suck but after enough forum trolling and watching threads and posting etc. I am surprised that we got someone like DesignGears out the gate, reluctantly mind you, LOL but still going after it to start some real development on this device. I found after trying a few apps. and such that I had forgotten about the SuperPower app. made by some of the guys here at XDA. After jacking with how to set SuperPower up on the new beta version I think its like v8 or something; I waited until the battery was at less than 20%. Then did a full uninterrupted charge to 100%. Kicked off SuperPower, unplugged the beast to see what's up. Well that was 9 hours ago. I am sitting at 73% battery left. I have been doing 3D gaming, downloads from the market, music downloads, posts here, and some calls and a crap ton of texts. So I think we are good on the battery. Respectable anyway.
Not to be Captain Obvious but the phone is rooted too. All I am saying is this phone has a tremendous amount of untapped potential that is begging to be unleashed. There is nothing about this phone that says, "gimmick" to me. This phone says I have more power than is necessary in a cell phone but won't be unhappy if you really let me fly.
Get one and really dive into the thing for a week and if you still feel the same about then you can slap me twice and call me Sally. Then go straight to a Best Buy Mobile or where ever you got it and say it was installed with a flux capacitor from the factory by mistake and you want an Atrix instead. Sorry for the wall of text everyone but I don't usually post very often but I had to here. I would hate to see someone miss out on solid technology like the Thrill 4G.

Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Since you are asking in a forum for the phone you will get a biased answer of yes. I had the 4g, traded up for the 3D, broke my 3D, bought the photon 4g, 5 days later sold it via Ebay, bought parts to fix the 3D, and have loved using it ever since. There will be phones coming out that perform better, but the gig of ram and processor is capable of overclock, so it is real fast.
The 3D is a fun phone and I think you will enjoy it...It has its small issues at times but the phone is still very much enjoyable.

No. This phone sucks. I'm tired of it being one of the fastet phones out there. It needs to slow down and stay sub par. Its vibrant screen needs to be less crisp so that my eyes can start squinting more since it's getting lazy. It's 3D capable picture capture and video is worthless. I mean, who goes to the movies and watches that stuff, let alone buy a big screen tv that does it too. Its 1080p playing ability is below expectation. If it can't play 4k videos, why is it even sold! The battery life is horrendous. I turned it on fully charged and once it finished booting, it turned off saying low battery!! Why can't it be like my clam shell phone that doesn't have any features and can be off the charger for weeks?! And let's not mention the dev support. This phone has been out for such a short time, and they haven't even made it light-speed capable like some other phones. What da deuce!?
I'm just saying. I have a different phone and love to comment on other phone forums since I think I'm doing the people a service to let them know they got robbed. If you want the best, get a Samsung 4K IDB Extreme. That's were it's at.
PS. I love this phone. It's hardware capabilities will last me a lot longer than my awesome Hero did (RIP). You'll love this phone. It has served me well, and continues to surprise me.

Its vibrant screen needs to be less crisp so that my eyes can start squinting more since it's getting lazy. It's 3D capable picture capture and video is worthless. I mean, who goes to the movies and watches that stuff, let alone buy a big screen tv that does it too. Its 1080p playing ability is below expectation. If it can't play 4k videos, why is it even sold! The battery life is horrendous. I turned it on fully charged and once it finished booting, it turned off saying low battery!! Why can't it be like my clam shell phone that doesn't have any features and can be off the charger for weeks?! And let's not mention the dev support. This phone has been out for such a short time, and they haven't even made it light-speed capable like some other phones. What da deuce!?
I'm just saying. I have a different phone and love to comment on other phone forums since I think I'm doing the people a service to let them know they got robbed. If you want the best, get a Samsung 4K IDB Extreme. That's were it's at.
PS. I love this phone. It's hardware capabilities will last me a lot longer than my awesome Hero did (RIP). You'll love this phone. It has served me well, and continues to surprise me.

That's the most confusing post I've ever read.
I'd be pretty sad should they decide not to improve upon the EVO 3D in a year or so.
I'm curious as to what the sales have been like compared to other devices. I see a lot of vague negativity and dislike for the EVO3D, and a lot of people passing 3D off as a gimmick. After having this thing for some time now, I feel that if my next phone doesn't have 3D I'd be missing something, it could be a four-core 2GHz monster with LTE and a 720p screen, but I'd still have somewhat of a 'phantom-limb' for the missing 3D. I love the 3D aspect, I take my photos and videos entirely in 3D, I buy 3D games (as they slowly trickle out) I'd buy a lot more games if they had 3D versions (Notch, you can do it, add it to Minecraft!)
Am I really alone in a sea of 3D haters?
I love the 3D features and wish the next Evo would incorporate it.But I highly doubt they will.They haven't even supported the device we have now with special 3d stuff...

I like the 3D feature but I hardly use them. So yeah, I don't think there will be a follow up
I would like to see in next year's EVO, on which I will use my last Sprint Premiere upgrade, Google TV integration. Unplugged from the TV its an EVO which of course is awesome but hook it up to your TV and bam, its a Google TV!
Anyways, what features would everyone else like to see in next year's EVO?

A bigger screen (4.8?), No 3D (I used it the first week), 8 MP camera (I don't want to argue about MP, it's just my opinion) and cm team members that know how to communicate with their followers.
That would make me happy.

I doubt there will be another 3D device from HTC as a successor to this one. Not enough marketing behind it to persuade me into thinking they want to continue down the 3D path. Hell they might skip over and go straight to 5D. Never know.

I love big phones,and I always get a new phone every 8 months,but my next phone has to have 3d, and be bigger,the galaxy note is a great size,but no 3d is a no brainer,when you look at a 2d normal picture shot,its just not the same,when you take a 3d picture it jumps out the screen, that's with movies as well, that's why there will be a newer model a year from now(maybe sooner,August) it annoys me when people slag of 3d they don't have it,see it for ten seconds then say its.crap,it hurts my eyes, and them they get used to it,and its great.

We didn't get jack to show off our new cool 3D phone.. there are no apps for it, nothing. I see a couple youtube vids that nmostly look like crap.
I really like the 3D part of the phone, but I could care less if I ever get another phone with it or not. There is absolutely nothing happening with it aside from a picture or 2 sometimes.
I think there will def be another evo3d. People really think that since they dont like 3d things that technology wont pass them up. I think that crazy to believe. I got my first touch screen in 2003ish. (6700) and everyone said that touchscreen was pointless. Wrong again.

I definitely think there will be more 3D phones. Companies are definitely trying to push 3D more and more these days.
I am happy to see the new Sony commercials pushing their new 3D products (tv, camera, video cam). That tells me 3D is gonna be around for quite awhile and more companies are going to embrace it.
I guess one of the sign-posts will be if: the next Sony or Nintendo portables have 3D screens (Vita's and 3DS' successors) and/or if an iPhone ever has a 3D screen. I doubt Apple would ever jump onto that bandwagon unless just about every other device out there has it.
I think there might just be two stumbling blocks to wholesale 3D adoption in devices:
The brightness of the screen. Some of them are just too dim when the parallax barrier is on.
The fact that the resolution is effectively halved in 3D-mode. The 3DS doesn't do this, 2nd-gernation 3D Android devices shouldn't either. There are screens out there that are QHD and even 720p with and without 3D enabled.
