[Q] Is it realy that bad? - HTC EVO 3D

Hi i had a HTC HD2 wich was great and got old so i sold it and got an iphone 4 wich is good but not for my taste and i want to sell it and get the evo 3d once its released in GSM version,ok so my question is is the evo 3d that bad i mean read that it has a lot of problems (camera green tint,shuter lag,overheating and etc)so what do you think (please only evo 3d owners) is it worth geting it or shoud i get the galaxy s2?

IMHO its just people whining. The phone is great. And if you have problems with it just exchange/return it. There are some legit issues but most will be resolved in time. I'm having issues with the 3D feature on my phone but I'm not dumb enough to think that any issues with my particular handset makes this phone any less of a beast. On top of that between this forum and the sensation forums the devs will keep this phone relevant for a while.

I've had none of the problems you listed....no problems, period.

this is a kick arse phone.
The only time you get a green tint in cammera is when it auto focus in pitch black. its fast and cant wait for more updates. The bad things you hear are whinny people with too high of expectations from phones. and plus 3d movies are sick

The people are right, some of these problems do exist, but they are not widespread. It is mostly people whining though. Too many anal people. Nothing is never going to be perfect.... Ever! I suggest you get the phone, and return it under the 30 day warranty if you don't like it.

I also was really wondering if it was as bad as these people said...even when 4 of my friends have one and none of them said anything derogatory about the phone and playing with them...paid cash for it....and wondered about what I will get...nothing. Phone was excellent. Raised the volume with equalizer from market(free)..no dead pixels..faster then he'll and one hell of a screen. Once put in the temp root...used titanium for my backups and freeze bloat...it is easily the best phone I have ever owned. People just need to whine, release steam or just complains about even perfect things...heck...I best some of the people who complained here..given living in a perfect would still complain about something..that would be be complaining there was nothing to complain about...

What this forum is experiencing is a storm of anxious nerves end impatience as we wait for permanent root.
In other words...
Right now we are all waiting to get on a plane and go on vacation. However, the plane has been delayed and we are all going mad.
Unfortunately, in this mindset only the negative stuff surfaces.

lol nice s-off analogy

The only complaint about the 3D hardware wise is the power button. They went cheap on that and if you don't put the backing on correctly it will get stuck and not work. Other than that the phone is fine, the software is buggy but I also haven't accepted any of the updates and am actually running somewhat older firmware than what the phone came with.

yeah i get it but im in europe and waiting for the gsm release but here you dont have that awsome 30 day return feature

I upgraded from the EVO OG to the all mighty 3VO and this beast hasn't had any of the issues I keep hearing about and I'm un temp rooted. I wont root till there is an unlocked bootloader. But this phone is a BEAST without being rooted. Just my opinion.

QFT!!!!!!!!!!

No problems here....Phone does everything i expected it to do with no hangups. Very fast and responsive, i cant stress enough how fast it is. The 3d aspect gets old quick but thats just me, others i know swear by it but hey, to each his own.

I love this phone

Wow, I'm so glad I ignored all the negative vibe, this phone is great !!

This phone is running great for me.
Speaker is FINE !! (maybe just a tad lower, but it's clear and loud enough).
Signal seems the same as EVO 4G (maybe, just maybe a tad lower, but good enough).
Camera (2D) quality is also fine. I don't know what happened comparing in the store with 4G but camera is good (except the darn thing does hang). And I wish it had panorama like my 4G with MikG ROM had. But I expect that will come and there are 3rd party apps for that.
3D Screen (in 3D) is pretty impressive. As well as the 3D camera. Don't know how much I'll use it but it is quite impressive.
Fast, tons of memory.
Everything I care about, so far works (except camera hang).
Battery looks promising, need more time on that.
I did like the wider screen on 4G. But it always felt wide in the hand.
All my apps automatically restored, including WIFI settings !!
Power/Volume buttons don't feel mushy to me. Not quite as crisp, but fine.
It has a real nice feel to it. I did like the shiny edge on 4G though. But I really like the grippy back on 3D.
I like how speaker and camera are not embedded in the screen.
So many little things that break when folks try to lift things from different ROMs that this all has working.
It fits perfectly in my Car ProClip for 4G.
Camera button is nice.
Only feature I really really want from root is WIFI Tether (not adhoc either). Meanwhile PDANet USB tether will cover the times I need tether.
4G was really weak with 2.2 Stock and having what is stock today on new phones it's understandable to want root. But it's so hard to get everything working. Maybe I'll want new features in 6 months that requires root. We'll see.
This was essentially a free upgrade (maybe even some profit). By Selling 4G.
If you're on the fence I don't think you'll be disappointed coming from a 4G (even rooted 4G).
With properly written applications, the higher dot pitch is not a problem. I had to bump browser up in font size. Everything else so far looks the same except Icons are a bit smaller and status bar.
It is refreshing to see there are people who enjoy it instead of ones who complain. A lot of users are very happy ( I know 6 with it, and they are very happy with it) with it and we simply don't post here becuase we really don't have to.
I love it too. I haven't had any of he issues people complain about. Well...that's a lie I guess. I had the green tint on low-light pictures with the flash, but then I learned to turn off auto-lighting and set it for the correct setting of the room and that problem went away.
Is simply best phone out there so.far

I wish I could say the same. I only had ONE issue with my first one. Cracked screen that came with the phone. Weird. Got my new one and I love it.
Yea, I love my 3vo. Only issue I've had is the green tint thing on pics but I'm hoping that'll get fixed with a software update. If not, I'll exchange it for a new one.
Love my 3D! Even the iPhone fans have trouble keeping their eyes off it!

the predominant vibe on XDA for the few months or so has been negative, so, people need to just take what they read here with a grain of sand..
This phone is great; I loved my 4G, and, when we get root with the 3D, it will definitely be the #1 phone out there now...
I had to return my first one, due to some goofy software issues, but, the replacement is fantastic, and, as more accessories come out for it, it will be an even better experience.
As said often on this forum,
"Haters gonna hate"!
Verizon ****ed me over, jumped to Sprint. Went from a Thunderbolt to an Evo 3D, and I love this thing way more than my Thunderbolt. I do miss the kickstand, and I'm sad to not see extended battery cases with one, but otherwise I'm loving every second of use!
Sprint has been treating me well too.
The main thing I had with other phones I ever had was they fell really bad in my expectations for them. This phone has surpassed my high ones..people see it and they say...its a phone also...WOW...
No problems here with my 3VO
Bringing up issues on a Forum your having with (whatever) doesn't mean your being 'negative'. The majority of threads have been solution oriented...ONCE you pic out all the posts by those who have to come in and say your being negative!
I agree btw, it is a sweet device.
Love mine too, no green flash, no dead pixels, no complaints here
I love mine too, I have little light bleed on the bottom, bunch of my friends have the same thing, all 4 of them. so I didn't wanna waste my time on an exchange because I was afraid of getting one with other probelms. it is only visible at night in dark sorroundings, during the day I cant see it though. My friend told me to get a life and stop being picky lol when I mentioned the light bleed. He told me nothing is perfect in life, haha. I honestly dont even notice it in a bad way anymore, if the lights on the bottom werent so damn bright it wouldnt be there. At the end I love everything about the phone.

[Q] Taking it back??

Who's taking the Photon back when the GSII comes in a week? Im taking it back because there are too many dumb things happening with this phone,the reboots and such. Plus there isn't too much going on with the Dev side either.
Why do people keep spamming the board with threads that already exist... I just don't understand.
And for the record, i've had my Mopho rooted and unlocked since the first week with yayrom installed (ive owned it for a little over a month). I havn't had any problems... The same can be said for countless other. The dev community is fine. You dont need countless bugged roms, just a few quality ones from quality developers. We have that. Adopt patience, it's a virtue. And well, if you dont have any, have fun with your sg2. We could use less user spam anyway.

I was thinking about it but after taking a look at the Samsung infuse at an att store I changed my mind. 800 x 460 screen resolution on a 4.54 inch screen is fail.
I agree with i made a video discussing the build quality samsung makes all there phone plastic that feels really cheap. I had the infuse and charge and it feels real cheap motorola just on build quality is amazing prime example test out the epic 4g and then a droid 3 its a major difference. The photon is a beast and people just go along with reviews from people like phonedog that test out phones and there not actual using them as there personal phone. The epic touch is basically a infuse with a few changes the photon is so different and i agree i would rather have a couple stable roms then a bunch of unstable ones my take it from me because i would listen to those people and go out and buy phone after phone listen to them talking about this is the best when it wasnt. Now i know whats good and whats garbage. On the photon really all u need is it rooted changed to launcher pro and setcpu and its amazing

The CDMA radio in the Photon is reason enough to hang on to it, i can make phone calls in places i never could before with my Evo 4G and my Evo Shift.
The other day my phone was sitting side by side with a Verizon Thunderbolt, the T-bolt didn't have service and my Photon was roaming on Verizon with 3 bars.
I also get full service at work (on sprints network) where i only had one to two bars with my Evo.
Wanna hear something funny. The radios on this device rock for me. I was in a hospital waiting room the other day while a family member was having surgery and I had to provide a wifi hotspot for my brother and my uncle who were using T-Mobile and AT&T. Ain't that the ****!

But the other day i was at the movies and it called every one in my phone book while it was in sleep mode. I took it to sprint and told them this was happening and look at me crazy . so they did some test on it .and sure enough my screen was going out on the bottom . but they said they had to wait till they had a replacement phone for me . so i been with a half touch for a week now .any one else had this problem
you were probably hAxor3d. hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cause they rapin erry body
Your phone had a poltergeist. Take it to a priest. Not sprint. That's were you messed up

That, and, 3D sense would be pointless because it wood look terrible (all pixely and stuff) and it would have to be in landscape view.
Well I was saying that more because his comment insinuated that none of the roms are any good... Meaning the ones that all the guys in the dev section have developed? Or what? Pretty dumb comment when A. He hasnt even used any of them and B. Its a slap in the face to the hours these guys spend building them. I have used/tested just about all of them, and my phone was a million times better than it was out of the box with every one of them. People need to think before they post.

I'm on my second 3d for this exact same reason. Often the phone would start moving\deleting apps off my home screen lol. It would also send a lot of gibberish text messages as I'd watch swiftkey just run away with words that I wasn't typing lol.

Im just tired of people making such a big deal about cm7. All cm7 is plain android. Yes it was nice and fast on the old evo. But now it time for something different. We have the tech to make sense 3d it would be so nice. cobraboy85 if you like something other than sense on the evo 3d good for you. maybe u should of got the nexus s 4g then.
I totally lucked out tonight. I HTC unlocked my 1st (you can see where this is going) w/synergy nightly decided to die. Charge port went out. So my week old brand new EVO has been replaced by a hboot 1.3 "recertified" phone. All I know is, the 3d has not been as cool as u thought. Need an opinion. Have a trade for sg2 lined up. Thoughts.

I am perplexed by this post.......
I either just got trolled (my guess),
or this is a kid. (my second guess).
A couple things, anyway, just for the S&G's.... :
First, THIS:
"All CM7 is (sic) plain Android."
Um, yeah, and that's all you should want it to be:
**Straight up-blazing-fast-small-rommed-custom-kerneled-Android, BUT, with a ****load of "extra customization options" that are very carefully painted on top.
(That sounds pretty much like a perfect situation to me.)
Then, THIS:
"We have the tech to make sense 3d, it would be so nice."
Oh, really... DO WE have the tech?
One question...
(and this is only if you assume that bloated memory-hog called Sense could actually be "ported into 3D")
Where in the world would you put it?
With the standard, (not-even-a-full-version) of a Stock HTC Evo3d Sense 3.0 Rom weighing in at like 700 Megs, how big do you think a fully 3-d, re-drawn, optimized version would come in at?
3 gigs? 4 gigs? 10?
You're on the wrong phone (or the wrong planet) if you wanna start discussing the development or even the possibility of a 3+Gigabyte Rom.
Sheesh.

Epic Touch vs. Photon

Last night my wife got an Epic Touch. Nice phone. But I can confirm what people have been saying about the radios. The reception on the Photon was consistently 6 to 8 dB stronger on the Photon. I downloaded the same app with both and the Photon 40 percent faster. Both phones were in the same place. Also, there are a couple of "no Sprint zones " where I'd always drop calls with my old Epic. The Photon always holds the call in that area. I know people have claimed many times that the Photon radios are better and here is a real world test that proves it. Im glad I stayed with the Photon.

you gotta love it when you can use a phone as a phone and make and hold calls.
I was very seriously considering swapping my photon for the ET4G... i mean REALLY considering it.. I loved the Epic.. it would only stand to reason that it successor would be just as bad ass right ??
Then i remember the GPS problems, the bluetooth headaches, the lack of support/updates (from samsung/sprint).. it took lots of modding and just the right ROM to make the phone a pleasure to use.. IThen I grabbed my photon and realized how good I really have it.
This thing just works. I installed SPB shell 3D, rooted it and am loving the experience. Can't wait for CM7.. that'll make the experience w/ the photon INCREDIBLE..

I own both phones and love both of them. =] The epic touch for its screen (way better then I thought it was gonna be), light weight, still pic cam, and no lag. The photon for its radio, build quality, and speakers. Both phones are great and you can't go wrong with which ever one you pick. ^^ Sprint to me is the top dog right now with high end 4g phones. Lets just hope they improve their network this coming October.

I enjoy my Photon way more than my Epic, I just think Motorola's framework is a lot more cleaner than Samsung's. One of the things that annoyed me the most about the Epic is I couldnt disable the sound of when their is a network drop/reconnect. So I would constantly hear it while listening to music going in and out of subways. With the Photon, it's just silent and there is audio interruption going on.
Also, the little things like the orientation animation is nice. Samsung's screens are of course great, but I'm glad I have a higher res screen on the Photon. The icons on the Epic Touch look huge with the lower res, but that of course is a personal preference thing. Also not having my phone be a useless brick that can only use wifi when traveling internationally is great, the world phone option is a huge plus for me.

Even though Samsung doesn't push updates much, the development section is so active that most issues will be cleared out. Also cuz international version has been out a while, most issues must've been ironed out by now

Have had both and like the Epic Touch way better. For one thing I can hear someone when a call comes in. While the Photon had very strong signals and great sound, even with the MR it still suffered from software issues. I know everyone said to keep exchanging until you get one that works but that is not too appealing to me. I just want to get a phone and go. With the ET it has worked great from day one with no issues at all.
To be honest there are some faults that only a tech geek would nit pick about. Most people I know never seem troubled by some of the issues that posters rant and rave about. People complained about the Photon screen, really? I had to go into our tech department and use their electron microscope to see what they were talking about.
I would have to say that both phones are about equal. You can't go wrong with either one. It all comes down to which one you prefer. If you are happy with the one you purchased then that's all that really matters.
The name is kind of catchy also "MOPHO". I thought about getting the Epic Touch too, but I think there are too many things that the MOPHO has the the touch does not.. Kickstand and webtop mostly.. I just wish there was more developer interest.
i agree with the comment about having a grudge with samsung. after owning a moment i'll never own a sammy phone again. just got my photon last night and the sales person was trying to push a samsung on me. i was take your sammy and shove it lady give me the photon!

This phone is a beast...definity meets my needs!

I know that there are probably other threads just like mine but I just had to get this off my chest.....for everyone that's disrespecting this phone and saying its a slouch, slow etc.
Some of you may know me from selling/trading phones over in the marketplace. I've had every high end phone on Sprint, some phones I've owned twice or even three times. Nevertheless, I got rid of them because I just didn't like the phone or wanted something else.
Well, I got me another Photon and I come to find that I really like this phone. True it has some issues that's in my opinion is very minor. Those issues consist of the small amount of laginess when unlocking the phone and for some reason when ever I'm typing the vibration of the key press just stops. Then it starts back after I stop typing again...I don't know what's up with that...but those are the only two issues I have with this phone.
Now as far as the good, the reception is out of this world. I get excellent service and bars where I got no or little service on both my NS4G and E4GT. The only phone that came close is my iP4s. I went to the mall here where I live and while the wife and kids were doing some shopping, I decided to pull out the Photon and surf the web. I was expecting that the data would be slow to non existence. But to my surprise, data was working and fast too. Again, this wouldn't have never happened on my NS4G or ET4G. The speaker on the photon is a beast as well. It definitely blows the NS4G out of the water. The E4GT has a good speaker too but begins to crackle at a certain volume.
Not to mention all the accessories that's available for the photo. I'm currently in the market for lap dock
If I'm just blabbing, I apologize. I'm just giving this device some love. I'm already talking my co-worker into getting an Electrify on US Cellular.

babble all you want, your basically just repeating what I have been saying since August!!
I have my gripes with the touch screen, but this is the best PHONE on Sprint. Best reception and sound quality that money can buy.

On a side not, I just tried Google Hangout with my cousin. And wow.. what a nice thing to use.
I'm glad I switched back to Android from the iPoop.

Yeah you're definitely all over the marketplace thats for sure lol. I never thought you'd be back to the photon. I too have used all of sprint's phones except the iPhone and Photon imo is the best Android device they've had so far. Honestly, I believe EVERY problem with device lies within the software I.e blur etc. Hardware is flawless ...

I agree on all counts as well. The phone is awesome. And also agree that if Moto unlocked the bootloader without losing 4G then we can get rid of the blur stuff and really have a outstanding phone.
I'm loving my accessories.

is the better...
