hey guys... im thinking of buying he evo 3d in the uk when its out soon.
just a few quick questions that id like answering please
how does the evo 3d turn the 3d screen from 2d to 3d? lol
whats battery life like
and if the build quality good?
thanks guys
Switch on the side only camera.
Battery life is very good for me atleast.
The phone feels good in my hand feels well built imo
The 3D is controllable for only the camera. You can adjust it by using the switch. As for the other questions. Your answers will be subjective. I myself experience great battery life, but others don't. I like the look and feel of the phone, but others don't.
how do you turn the 3d off on the screen?
thanks for he reply, how many hours do you get out of battery
ah okay so im guessing sense reckonises when a 3d photo or video or app is running and automatically turns 3d on

The only things that will display in 3D is movies, games and photos (that are 3D). You can turn 3D photos into 2D by using the settings. The rest is 2D. I can get around 16-20 hours with normal usage, but that is also subjective. What is normal for me may not be normal for you.
Ah well thanks for your help one last question, how much free ram do you normally have free?

I was wondering if there are any actual 3d apps out yet. Something that actually utilizes 3d technology for our EVO3ds. It is impossible to search for them because so many have 3d graphics.
Thanks guys!

What sort of app did you have in mind?
Not likely gonna happen unless it is an app that only runs in landscape. I don't think most developers want that kind of limit unless there is a benefit to 3D. The only benefit I can see is in movies and gaming.

I got to experience that last night. I was playing the spider man game and it froze up on me. I was able to get out of the game and the home screen was in 3d. Looked really bad IMO.
I would love to see a 3D launcher, I wounder if 3D works in full screen portrait mode. From what i read i dont think so. would be sweet tho.

To tell u the truth, the entire OS in 3D would prolly make me go permanently cross eyed or atleast mildly cockeyed
Not to mention bottles after bottles of Excedrin
but I hope devs find a way to tweak the system for more 3D just as a novelty tho, a type of "just cuz we can" feature. I'm sure our batteries would drain in like 3 hours max.

Agreed....if your so worried about battery just charge it.
How does that mean he pirated it? I do the same. Face it, our phone's battery cannot handle how much power is always being consumed, every little thing helps. It's how I get my phone through a day of heavy use.

Couldn't you log into whatever market you got it from and download it again? Dur...
Is there a way to completely disable/power-off the 3D functionality of the Evo 3D, so that we can lose the silly power-draining gimmick and reap the benefits of the huge battery in this phone?
In light of the AT&T buyout I'm considering switching to Sprint and I want something with a big screen...

Shut your face
Well, that was completely useless.
All the reviews of the EVO 3D so far have commented on battery life being relatively unimpressive. Considering the sheer size of the battery used in this device, one would think that preventing the 3D-whatever from functioning or even loading at all would aid in extending the battery life.
Though, perhaps this is impossible and all LCDs with parallax barriers simply use more power even displaying 2D images...
Just don't use the 3d features... Not sure what else to say.

There's not much any of us can do when it comes to your request. However, as our development progresses, an option should present itself.

Hopefully so. Sprint service is very good where I live, and with the blue deathstar threatening to swallow up T-Mobile I'm inclined to switch over.
Shame the Nexus S 4G has signal issues, else I'd be inclined to switch over right away (yeah, I know it's "old" but it has AOSP Android right out of the box).
I still don't understand why you can't just refrain from using the 3d.

Because with a battery that huge, the thing shouldn't die so fast. Something about the 3D gimmick is eating battery even when turned off. Could be that the parallax barrier LCD just uses more power.
And the old Evo is a downgrade from my current device. Why would I want that? I want something better, or at least a sidegrade. Not a downgrade.
I don't think the 3d is killing ur battery when ur not using it, at least not that u would ever notice. My battery life on my 3d is actually better than what it was on the og evo. If anything u have to consider that the qhd screen, dual core CPU, 1gb RAM, etc.....uses more power too.

I highly doubt that the parallax barrier is using battery when its not turned on. That is like saying the flash is using power when its not on.

the cool factor sounds pretty cool, but think it'll really just be a lot of trying to even the phone up to your face. nothing will have a 3d effect either things will just pop a little. this would take a total framework redisign and would probs be easiest on cm7 i think....

i havent actually noticed my battery doing worse when i do stuff in 3d. have u? i assume it's prob just a little bit, enough electricity to magnetically tilt clear little filters or something.
So as the title says im having my upgrade this week and bending toward the amaze against the galaxy nexus one thing that keeps me off from buying its that caroussel 3d effect when you quickly switch screens!
I went in a store played around whit it and when i wanted to quickly scroll through the homescreens i got that effect its kinda irritating after long time :/ and another thing is the back of the phone its quite ugly :/ guys im really sorry to post this here and annoy you as i know there is 10000 threads about a dude jumping to the amaze 4g but none did really answer my question
Thanks !

You can always try a different launcher.
I think that for some custom roms (specifically xboarder56's) you can disable the 3D effects by a Tweaks app that comes pre-installed in the rom.

This device is more complicated than that.
However once you unlock your bootloader it's fairly simple.
I know NRGs Energy ROM also has the tweaks to disable the carousel and 3D widgets if you want. I actually think it's XBoarder's tweaks app just borrowed.
Like binary said, it's rather simple to unlock and root, just very time consuming on this device compared to many others. Binary put together great step by step instructions.

Everyone has a different opinion on battery life. I typically get anywhere from 16 to 28 hours of battery life depending on amount of use. Got the same on stock ROM with brightness turned all the way down.
If you like Aosp go with galaxy nexus. There is no telling when we will get Aosp Ics. If you prefer Sense though definitely go with the amaze. Its a great phone hardware wise! The real big difference is the software and camera. If the camera is a big thing for you maybe the amaze is the way to go. Its a much better camera.
Great phone, there are only two issues that my phone has:
+The capacitive lights bleed onto the main screen.
+The flash for the camera bleeds into the lens.
Besides that everything works perfectly!
Concerning battery: for me if my phone stays on standby it will last for days, but if i use it heavily it'll give me a good day's use out of it.

as far as battery life goes, mine usually lasts a day (at least 20 hrs), so in that respect i think it's pretty good especially since my old mt4g struggled to get even that lol

I was also torn between these two phones myself. I decided to settle with the Amaze due to the mediocre camera on the galaxy nexus, and also the lack of expandable memory (they seriously seemed to have pulled an Apple with this). The nexus does have the 720p screen (pentile though), but the Amaze offers the perfect blend of screen size and resolution. It seems like we do have a few hardworking devs, so it’s a matter of time before more jump ship to Amaze with more ROMs available.
One of the reasons I went with the Amaze was due to the back of the phone. I actually think hardware wise it is one of the nicest phones out there.
Like others mentioned, battery life just depends how you use it. I get between 8-14 hours depending on my day. That is quite a few 20 minute or so phone calls, texting a good amount, web browsing, g-talk quite a bit and a little BT streaming of music and movies. Streaming of the music and movies will really suck it down quick though. I know someone else who has a black Amaze and.gets 5 hours, but he is always downloading movies and streaming music.
It really is a great phone and it does have a good camera, just have to have decent lighting for a good picture.
Might run into a couple small issues like light bleeding into the screen from the soft keys lighting up. There are a couple apps out there to shut them off. I believe the G-Nex suffers from the same exact thing. That and the flash bleeding when taking a pic. I personally have yet to have that happen though. Seems common enough though.
Good luck! There are some good peeps on this board and especially in the Amaze section.

There's a thread somewhere on here about it, but the gist of it is that the dual flash isn't confined/separated enough from the lens so sometimes you get some light bleed on the bottom (or however you hold your phone while taking a pic).
Supposedly you can fix it with a tiny piece of electrical tape, it basically mimics the effect of putting the dual flash in a housing unit (like the sensation has). I haven't noticed it enough yet to do that, but it does bug me that HTC produced this phone without fixing that...haha
