Hello everyone: on 6 August we have here the Evo 3d in Europa.
I have a vew Questions:
1: Should we have a better quality device?
as i been following Evo 3d and Optimus 3D thread for 3 or 4 months
i read that Evo 3D have lots of small problems and optimus have no problems.
(so far)
2: can we espect rooted devices? as in Canada it looks like they come rooted out
of the box.
3: If rooted can we have dual boot?

1. Yes you should but no one will know until it arrives. The battery I'm sure will be better, just on the strength of the GSM radio. The LG Optimus 3D has a glaring issue: its going to be stuck on Android 2.2 for quite awhile, unacceptable.
2. Maybe (BTW no they aren't rooted out of the box, the bootloader is unlocked so it is easier to root & flash roms to the device.)
3. Possible but doubtful.

hi,
I wanna buy Htc evo view 4g from sprint before thanks giving holidays. I had few questions. I tried to look in the all sub forums as well in the past 4 hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is there any Honey comb based custom rom for Evo view 4g.
Does the "view" in the rom containg name flyer + view means its for htc evo view 4g.
I have the View for Sprint and enjoy using it very much. For me it is the best tablet that I have owned (I also have tired an iPad and the original Galaxy tab). I like the 7 inch size in addition to the quality build of the device. Unfortunately there are no HC ROMs available for the device yet (or none that I have found), and yes View/Flyer is the type of device that the ROM is for (you cannot cross flash them). It would seem as thought the View is not the most popular of devices but I enjoy mine all the same. Hope this helps.
Hi,
I decided to purchase a EVO 3D all of a sudden. I have a little time to decide so I want to ask some questions to the owners. Please forgive me, I know that these questions must have been asked several times on this forum and I can find answers if I search. But really I don't have time to search and read many threads for this because I have to decide in 2 or 3 hours.
1. Does it have native 3G video call support using the front cam ?
2. is it supported in new games with nice graphics ?
3. any cons to the other 3D Android phone (LG Optimus 3D) ?
4. is there a CPU comparison to check what is EVO 3D's place among all other Android phones (specially Tegra 2) ?
5. Currently there is not ICS Rom developed for this ROM (I mean with all features). Do you believe we'll have a fully working ICS ROM in near future ?
6. Does it have a good community ?
7. LG Optimus 3D has a nice 3D UI, but EVO 3D does not have such GUI. Is it hard to develop a 3rd party 3D UI ? a 3D launcher maybe ?
Thanks.
I'd appreciate any help...
Not to be terribly rude, but you have over 700 posts, have been a member since 2007, and cannot search to find these answers on your own. They're out there and it doesn't take but a few minutes, not hours.
Short answer...better than most any other phone out there IMO, and definitively better than any LG. Tegra 2 is overrated also.
there are several parameters when you consider to buy a new phone. and sometimes it's better to get answers directly from the owners.
anyway, I've lost my chance to purchase the phone.
I'm thinking; is it really hard to give short answers to just 7 questions about a phone that you own ?
it could save my hours digging to get all that info.
AND; really some of my questions are not answered in these threads...
1. Does it have native 3G video call support using the front cam ?
*This question depends on the network as much as it does on the phone. I've never bothered to try on sprint but I doubt it as I see no way to do it.
2. is it supported in new games with nice graphics ?
*What new games... I only play angry birds.
3. any cons to the other 3D Android phone (LG Optimus 3D) ?
*I can't think of any con's to the phone other than mine being s-on. I don't own an LG nor have I ever owned an LG so I can't comment on their phones.
4. is there a CPU comparison to check what is EVO 3D's place among all other Android phones (specially Tegra 2) ?
*Really I don't notice the CPU being much faster than my Samsung Galaxy.
That's all I know.

I have not had trouble running any games from the market. CF3D program also allows you to play tegra games which it handles nicely.

HTC is releasing an official ICS update next year for Evo 3d. after that im sure there will be many cooked ICS roms from may different people. Otherwise you can check cyanogen mod see what they are doing.

Yes XDA is one of the best around.

Yes LGs 3D UI looks nice but is only a small part of the phone. SPB is working on incorprating a 3D option into their launcher, but at the moment its experimental (BETA) and has a few shortfalls but is interesting anyway.
Thanks.[/QUOTE]
thank you, hungry81.
I've already lost my chance to buy it.
but anyway, you say that you didn't have any performance issues with any games. some people are complaining about performance with
GTA3 which was released on friday.
did you try that ?
1.Games... Sorry never installed hardcore games (only built in spiderman 3d game_LOOKS VGOOD TO ME)... But with the evo 3d brand processor it will definitely can play future games
2. Native front camera , yes it works i use skype and ym.. speed depends on network (mine is boost part of sprint netwrk,kinda laggy but works,best if wifi). I hope i answered ur Q On this one
3. Evo vs lg? Never had lg, but i read on magazine (pc magazine i think). Evo 3d vs samsung galaxy s2, galaxy beats evo by amoled screen and just a little bit in processor but thats about it... So if lg brand u wanted is better than galaxy s2 then u know the answer...

why not HTC One V, it has similar but better hardware and ICS 4.0.
most important, it is cheap.

Cyanogen Mod 9?
In answer to your question yes ICS is available for the desire S in the form of Cyanogen Mod 9.
Whilst I know other roms are available such as Ice Cold Sandwich they all appear to be at least loosely based on CM9.
Although it is described as alpha I have installed it on both my desire s as well as a friends and it works without issue on both devices perfectly all of the hardware is now functional with the exception of the FM radio but there are plenty of online radio apps, or you could just use the MP3 player.
The only small issue you may encounter were problems with games such as temple run although this has been fixed in the latest release (09/05/2012)
I have owned the desire s for just under a year now, it is my first android phone but from experience of viewing friends phones it is still one of the superior android devices on the market. Whilst it does not have the dual core processor or huge amounts of ram of the current flagship phones there is a large community behind the device as there is the desire HD and Z. Therefore there are regular roms available for it. On another note in terms of the phones power, I have not found a single app or game my phone cannot run well including full 3d games such as the pocket version of Minecraft.
In terms of battery life after a year of use I can still manage about 2 days with sparing use and a sense based rom or a whole day with heavy use on a sense rom.
With the new CM9 I am managing 2 days of medium to heavy use and 4 days of sparing use. I believe this is due to the lack of the sense ui.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Hi, im getting the Evo 3D veeery soon (from my dad, he uses it now). I know it's 2 years old phone and i will use it for 1 or more years. My question is, is it still worth it? I will use it MAINLY for Internet, games, YouTube videos etc. Should i have it, or ask him for newer phone? I won't flash any custom ROM, cuz i will use 3D and i need warranty (even thought he has the Otter Box on it )

IMHO I think that it's still a good device with decent specifications, and after all Android 4.o is stil compatible with almost all the apps (games) on Google play store. And yes, I find 3D photos very cool Can I ask you what were you thinking to buy in alternative to evo 3D?
After that, you said you don't want to unlock it not to lose the warrnty but there are unlock methods that make you not lose warranty. I prefer an unlocked device for these reasons:
-If you do a right job, you will not lose warranty
-sense 3.6 custom roms are faster and richer of functions than the stock one (mwakious rom is excellent to take spectacular 3D pictures)
-s2w and usb OTG are becoming day after day always more essential for me, and only custom roms can provide them to me
-AOSP roms are MUCH faster than the sense ones (AOSP rom= 160-170 MB; Sense roms= 385-400 MB ). On previous versions of android I think that HTC sense was essential because added those functions that vanilla android hadn't at all, but I can see that a cyanogenmod 4.2.2 has got all the functions that I need.
-Probably (and we hope asap :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: ) agrabren would provide an AOSP rom with working 3D, so when and if it will happen I think there will be no more reson to stay on stock rom
I hope I have convinced you to come to the dark side lol but at least I hope I was able to convince you that evo is still a good device, even if htc supported it for less than a year and after abandoned it

And you are right! On the paper those phones are beautiful, with hi specifications and so on...but when you get it, their quality is soooooo low, battery hasn't got a decent life time and the whole phone won't last you so long. And you didn't considered the SAR exposure, in "chinese phones" is really high and it increases with the passing of time :s :s :s :s not so healthy at all. But I see that you have an HD2..I am following the porting works for the new 3.0.16 kernel for this device and I think that some really good things are gonna happen
P.S. if you think I helped, you can hit the thanks button if you want

now updating
Ive been using leedroids firmware/rom for the last 2 years, and been great but its not getting slow, and not compatible with apps etc, plus rebooting couple times a week etc
so too am now trying to update, want to stay with sense (as its HTC !)
and of course want to keep the 3D fully working ! (still love using the 3D !)
would be good to have HDMI out still work too ?
so i too am trying to decide what kernal/rom to use !!!
from what i have read over the past day, is that sense 3.6 and below should have working 3D, 4 and upwards will not.
and ICS and under, senseless are working with 3D but not with jellybean ...
can anyone conform this ???

The Evo 3D is still a tremendous phone. It is indeed sort of 2 years old but you definitely don't notice it.
It has pretty much all functions that all other phones offer, and 3d ofcourse
Very satisfied with mine. I use it for internet, facebook etc.
It's a shame that they didn't want to put jellybean on it. With 1GB ram and a 1.2ghz dual core processor it is more than strong enough.
Oh and remember to get a micro SD storage card of 4GB or more if you plan on gaming!
The specs say that it has 4GB of internal space, but 3GB is "locked" and only 1GB is available.
I love taking 3D pictures and videos with my girlfriend's Sprint Evo 3D. We are ditching Sprint for T-Mobile, so she will have to get a new phone. We will keep the Evo 3D and make it our dedicated 3D camera/camcorder. Here are some of my ideas:
ROM: CoolSense v17 by coolexe . My GF prefers Sense, and this ROM has been working well for her for over a year.
Kernel: Coolz Kernel 5.7 by coolexe & cjoliver Been using an older version for the last year, pretty rock solid. I think it makes Sense (pun intended) to use a kernel from the same dev as the ROM.
Cam Mods: Cool Cam Mod v6 by coolexe. We used v5 for over a year, its pretty sweet. Took some awesome New Years photos in 3D, and they came out great!
Other Stuff: Rom Toolbox Pro, to remove bloat and unneeded apps. A couple of offline maps for navigating outside the grid. GPS Status to fine tune location, and Dropbox to auto-sync the pictures over wifi.
Did I forget anything? Got any suggestions? Let me know!
Pacs mods for Cool ICS if you want personalization

I think OTG is also useful ,you can use stickmount to mount usbstorage. : D

Do you have a phereo.com account. Want to see some 3d samples from the cool mods camera app!
I was thinking the same.
#1 most important thing, I think, would be to gut the telephony-relevant parts for improved battery life (currently running mine in airplane mode).
#2, would be some way to make the shutter button wake the phone and/or switch to the camera automatically
(1-click quick-shot, with screen off would be a dream)
Are the above possible, with this phone?
I'd also suggest picking up the biggest battery pack you can find. If all you want is a camera, you can definitely sacrifice some portability in favour of more battery life
go into the 3v0 cdma section of the site and look up negalite blurom. when you install it there is an option for tablet mode which ditches the phone parts and it acts just like a tablet which is what i will be doing once the new htc phone comes out in september.
enjoy
