On the television commercials for the EVO 3D, they show the main screen in 3D, is this possible for us to do? I apologize up front if this has been discussed already.
Nope, at least not yet.
it won't be an official feature, ever, ever.
But as soon as we get some custom ROM's I'm sure that ability will be in there.
One day I was taking pics in 3d and hit the home button and power button at the same time. When I tried turning it back on the home screen was in 3d. Some kind of lag issue but was in 3d non responsive. Had to reboot

First...I'm not a Dev, but thought I would share.
I believe its possible. I had to return my first evo becuz the 3d effect would not "turn off". Leaving me able to navigate all of the phone homescreen and menus with the double imaging or hologram effect....still wasn't exactly 3d though. I called sprint they told me my phone was "defective" and I returned it the next day for new one.

honestly, if the screen was always 3d i would go crazy. don't get me wrong i love the 3d media and games. and the picture make it feel like ur still sitting there where you were when you took it, sort of frozen in time. but i noticed from playing the games and watching the green hornet it... after a few minutes i start to get a headache from 3d... i don't know everything about 3d but the principal is it looks 3d because you are actually seeing two images but your eyes interpret them as one. thats probably what causes the headaches or slight dizziness after extended time of exposure. everyone who plays with my phone agrees with me that if it was always 3d it would suck. it would be cool to be able to turn the entire os into 3d on command but always in 3d wouldn't be very appealing to me.

I was just playing around with the phone and I went to my homescreen. And under 2 of my icons a small rainbow line or different color line appeared. It was about the lenght of the icon itself.
I hope the screen isn't going bad...I guess I'm going to have to really watch for that again if it pops up. I rebooted the phone and the lines isn't there anymore. So we'll see..

I had my screen go wacky after trying the spider man game. I didn't exit the game properly and just backed out of it. It was like the 3d only half shut off and things looked like a hollogram. I went back into the game and actually hit exit. That fixed it.

Happened to me when I exited a 3D youtube video except it was the whole bottom third of the screen. It went away after a reboot.
Sometimes if u quickly leave an 3d app or something the 3d effect will still be goin for a bit.. was even on my lockscreen, user error so no need to whine, so I didn't lol

On most of the reviews that I have seen on youtube on the evo 3d the capacitive lights go off after about 3 seconds yet they remain on the whole time on mines when using the phone and can be quite annoying especially at night since those lights are so damm bright! does anyone here who has applied both updates on their evo confirm if the lights remain on after updating.
here is a review on the 3d and you can see the lights turn off
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y85Rd5E6lV4&feature=related
Mine turn off but they are bright as HELL! Screen Filter is your best friend right now
did you apply both updates? and yes they are bright as hell which is why i want them to turn off on their own since i watch a lot of videos at night and the lights get really annoying. I tried screen filter but I don't want to use an app for something the phone should be doing on its own
I hear ya...We shouldn't have to run an app but for now, it's all we got. I haven't installed any updates, still on HBoot 1.3
I see, I wonder how many other people have the same problem. I will use the app for now but I will be going to the sprint store this week to see if other evos have the same problem.. if they don't I will be exchanging mine
I have 3 and they all do this.
annoying, they are bright lol
Really? wow! I know its a software issue since the app screen filter is able to turn them off. Whatever it is I hope htc fixes it quick I will be emailing them in a bit to see if they are aware of the issue.
Mine aren't turning off either. However I have a buggy 3D as it is, so I'm not surprised.

yea they did.. if you click on the link on the first post you can see the lights on the 3D go off after about 1-3 secs.
Just got an email from HTC and according to them the capacitive lights are affected by ambient light so the less light there is makes them stay on the whole time :/

They're fine too me. Not bright at all.
I noticed that my search button is always on. The others turn off in bright light but the search button dims and is barely on.

Might be light leakage from the actual led screen backlight
Yea my search button is the same as well so it must be from the backlight. Hopefully HTC lowers the light timeout in an update soon I'm kinda blind already and those lasers hitting my eyes aren't helping much lol

Its only that one game/app that does it for me. I thought it was the app, don't see it anywhere else, and the chuzzle game is misaligned.

Yeah its just screen tearing from the exploit being ran. No big deal iv had way worse when cooking my own ROM and kernels for the og 4g
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide
+1^^^ Yeah I only noticed it when running eugene's Perma temp root script. Never before and never after.
Looks like HTC improved some things with the camera but my major complaint is still there. Even with every possible enhancement and option (including image review) turned off, there is still a 0.5 to 1.0 second lag when taking a picture in bright lighting even after everything is already focused with a half press of the shutter. I think it is improved a little, but still a far cry from what it should be. C'mon HTC: if a weak iPhone can take a picture instantly, surely you can do better than this!
Mike
I don't seem to have this shutter lag. The phone snaps the picture pretty instantly after I press the button.
Yeah, I'd say do a full wipe & reflash. 0 shutter lag here. I can't even get the image to speed blur while in motion.
This is with the latest 2.3.4 update.

Are you using the dedicated camera/shutter button? Autofocus is the only thing "auto" that I have enabled. Are you rooted with revolutionary?

For my fastest shots, I use the onscreen button, the camera button has a delay. Auto focus is off.
Yes, rooted with Revolutionary & using Haus' Stock Deodexed 2.08.651.2.
Just updated my wife's phone via the OTA. Hers has never been rooted and will likely never be rooted so I just took the OTA. Her's is exactly like mine. There's at least a half second delay on every shot. I've tried the dedicated camera button and the on screen button. Regardless of the settings or the button pressed, the camera doesn't take the picture until about a half second after you press the button.
Edit: I've never seen one of these phones not have horrendous shutter lag so if you think you have close to no lag, could you please post a short video showing this? I simply can't believe it until I see it.
Mike
I don't have another camera sorry. Sold it back when I had my EVO 4G.
I'm surprised you have this problem.
Try turning up the Exposure & ISO to 800 as well. This also speeds up the shutter on cameras. Will it be instant, I'm not sure but it'll definitely be faster.
Let me know if that works.

On a side note regarding the camera, what happened to the shutter sound on/off option? Now it's on by default and hitting menu in the camera app doesn't show it, am I crazy or is it gone?

Nothing changes it. Already tried ISO 800, shooting in direct sunlight, and every other trick I could think of. Minimum shutter lag is about a half second. Only thing I can figure is that some people call a half second "instant". It's far from it. Went to the Rays game tonight. Indoor lighting was bright as daylight: no flash needed. All pics were good at least and not blurry due to the fast shutter. But between my rooted Evo 3D and my wife's totally stock one, we missed almost every shot even when taking casual shots. And when you hand someone the camera to take a group shot, they press the shutter halfway to focus and then press the button the rest of the way and it NEVER works. Everyone always starts putting the camera down and the actual picture is taken after their hands are dropping because they've already pressed the button and nothing happened until a half second later. Again, this is with all auto stuff turned off, flash off, auto focus off, etc. Unless you are taking a picture of a rock or something else that isn't ever going to move, this camera is totally useless.
Mike
Have you tried wiping the SD card? Or used something other than the stock one?

No wipey wipey, but... my wife and I both use a SanDisk 32MB and my friend and his wife use the stock SD card. No difference. Half second delay on every shot, occasionally longer. I wouldn't think the SD card or it's speed would come into play for actually taking the shot: only afterward in storing it.

I've had my Evo for 1.5 weeks now and last Thursday I started having an odd flickering issue with the screen. On any light colors, ie pictures, lighter app backgrounds...you can see the colors flickering as if the refresh rate isn't quick enough. It's not the whole screen, only the area of color that the screen doesn't like. It started with only on max brightness, but now I can notice it on 50% brightness. I'm assuming this isn't normal and I should exchange my phone? Thanks.
Completely stock rom unrooted.
Sounds like bad backlight, replace.
I have noticed this as well. Especially going to the Play Store. The odd part is that it doesn't show up within games, at least for me.
If you turn off auto backlight does it happen? I think I see what appears to be flicker but it is the backlight adjusting. Happens when I first turn the screen on as the weather comes in. Also, it happens when I go back and forth from my messaging app to the homescreen. It is like the backlight is adjusting the brightness slightly. If I turn off auto brightness I get nothing.

Mine is not set on auto. It does it when I manually set it to around 60 percent or higher. It's not obnoxious but it is obvious on lighter colors. Light grays, some whites, light blues. Otherwise my phone is perfect and I hesitate to take it back in case a replacement brings a worse problem. I just wonder if it is something that would get worse. It has stayed the same so far.

FYI to OP and anyone else who may see the flicker. After doing a little reading it looks like the One X was plagued with this as well. HTC released an OTA that seems to have fixed the issue. You can follow a lot of the progress regarding it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597448
Looks like it was the exact same thing that I have noticed on my device. To save you some reading, you can skip to the last 10 pages or so and see that the update they sent out fixed most peoples issues. Hopefully they will have one pushed for us at some point.
Thanks for the link. so now I don't know if I hold onto my phone and hope for an update, or go and exchange for a new one.
I want to root my phone, but not until this screen flicker is taken care of!
I ONLY have this issue in the stock messaging app. Never any other time! It's so odd. But I'm not worried because of the fact that it's isolated to an app.

finally i know I'm not crazy!! This has been happening to me too. Hope an OTA will resolve.
I'd say maybe message HTC support and let them know so that if they aren't aware already they will be.

I went ahead and contacted support, I'll let you know what they say if they get back to me before I leave for vacation tomorrow. I suggest anyone else having an issue do the same.
i get a weird flicker too, but its like the app closes real fast and opens back up at lightning speed.
it doesnt look hardware related, just software.

I'm having this issue too. I've only seen it maybe a half dozen times and it's always been while typing a text message if I remember correctly. Mine is just like a brief millisecond blur.
so am I one of the VERY few having this issue? It looks like it's ALL OVER the One X forums, but no one is saying anything here. Most of the replies in this thread don't sound like my issue either, but the majority of the OneX complaints sound exactly like my issue. It's isolated to lighter colors, especially grays. It gets worse as my brightness is turned up. For example, if I look at a picture, only the blues may flicker, while the rest of the picture is solid.
Anyone?

I am having what you are having. I did get a reply back from HTC. It was a generic reply and one of the things they suggested was to do a battery pull. This was an email I sent to the EVO 4G LTE specific thread. I just sort of laughed it off. Mine hasn't become any worse and everything else on my device is perfect, even the color balance settled in, so I just decided to hang on to it and maybe they will fix it in an update like they did with the One X.
great to see a new thread picking up more attention than the one i started. i noticed this on my first evo and replaced it twice! all three had/have the screen flicker. i strongly believe its software related like others have mentioned, so dont give up on it yet
