Hello i am following this Evo 3d and Optimus 3d threads intens about 4 months.
i read a lot of reviews of both devices, seen many youtube reviews ant other all reviews i could find on internet. The HTC device is released a few weeks ago in USA and the optimus 3d is available for a few days here in Holland.
My conclusion for both devices is that what i have reading is that Optimus 3d is the winner on overall speed an 3D quality based on the compairison reviews of both devices.
I am not pre judged on any brand because i am selling cellphones.
My question is: how many have no problems on Evo 3D? please give us a small story about how long you get Evo 3D and how many time you spend to "play with" the device each day.
are you satisfied about the device? and what you find about the 3D quality...
i hope you can understand my story because my English is not soo good.... I am from Holland
Got my 3d on launch day, play with it constantly. A couple foreclosures...haven't really seen any in a few weeks. Didn't take any OTAs. No problems really. Aspect ratio sucks, but thats a matter of opinion...

I got my phone on the 25th of June, I use it pretty heavily, typically as long as I have a free hand I'm doing something on it. I don't really have any issues I notice on a day to day basis. The overall quality of my phone is pretty good, much better than the samsungs I am used to.
I didn't buy the phone because of the 3d feature, and although I have messed with it, I can't really comment on how good, bad, or average it is.

I haven't had any problems with my Evo 3d at all since launch day.....And I use it all day long....I was surprised too being as tho I had to return my original Evo about 3 times in like a 2 or 3 month period when I had got it on launch day..... I've also heard alot of good things about the Optimus 3d, but I wouldnt go by that since the phone isn't out yet....I heard alot of bad reviews for the Evo 3d, but it turned out to be a great phone when I got it into my posession....The 3d was a surprise that it was so clear and actually worked, but I don't think its for everyone because some people just arent able to focus their eyes long enough to grasp the concept.....but to answer, I am very pleased with my Evo 3d
None, I ran through the bug list & havent tripped over any issues or hardware defects. My EVO also had the latest update installed on it, in-store.
Thank goodness.
HW 002.
Got mine June 22nd and I'm happy to report no issues at all. Came from the EVO 4G, and don't regret the upgrade, the 3D is better in every way. Battery life is awesome already, going to be even better once this thing is rooted.

I'm a launch day buyer. I haven't had any problems at all.

I'm glad to report that since ditching the nexus s 4G for the 3D I haven't had any issues whatsoever. Vanilla gingerbread is nice, but sense 3.0 is IMO even nicer. HTC did a great job with it. I love the speed of the phone and battery has been surprisingly good, I had the OG EVO and was expecting battery life of the evo 3D to be about the same but it's actually been lasting quite a bit longer for me! (Maybe because I rarely use the 3d features)
Got mine in launch day as well. It's been great. One or two little things have happened but nothing to really piss me off. Overall it has run great for me. Had to reboot twice I think because green hornet was playing in 2d. Other than that I can't think if anything that has gone wrong. As far as ur decision goes I think u really have to look at manufacturers. HTC always has latest and greatest releases and has great support for their devices. Other manufacturers u are pretty much stuck with what u get when u buy it. Optimus might be a flagship device because of the 3D so might not be that bad but I will always put my money on HTC when it comes to software support.

Which phone does?
Had mine since launch day. Second day of playing with it soft reset itself. After that it ran flawlessly. I did do the OTA by mystake when I first left the Sprint store (not paying attention). Signal seems to roam and/or drop in places where my EVO 4G was damn near full bars. Then today my screen went blank and won't come back on. It's still responsive I just can't see ****. Will be at Sprint when I get off work to exchange.
Nevertheless I am VERY satisfied with the phone and I won't be switching to anything else. Great phone with great features.
Pre-order buyer and got phone before launch. Zero problems. Phone runs flawless.
Yep flawless

No problems here.
No problems except for Sprint's duct tape and bubble gum network.
Got mine two days before launch and have barely put it down. If this phone were on Verizon's network, I think I would be dead and in heaven.

I've spent several hours per day for the last week with my Evo 3D, haven't noticed any significant issues yet. Loving it - fast as hell, and the 3D surpasses anything I expected out of the device.
Mine has been perfect so far, no overheating, fast (using sense), no light leakage, no dead pixels, no tilted screen, data speeds are getting better (for crappy 3G anyway)
Im a happy camper

Hi all,
I have won an iphone 4 16gb from a lottery and i think i'll get it in second half of january. As you imagine i'll sell it and buy a high end android device. I absolutely want to buy evo 3d because of its ram but here someone offers me sensation. In Turkey, evo 3d is about $100-150 cheaper than sensation. I know evo has more ram than the other. So it should be faster because they have the same cpu and gpu... But why is this cheaper and why does somebody say it isn't really that fast? Please help me to persuade myself to get an evo
By the way, goodbye desire z
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I don't know who told you the Evo 3D "isn't really that fast" but...
1.2ghz dual-core cpu stock (mine is OC'ed to 1.5ghz) Snapdragon S3
1gb RAM
And the Adreno 220 GPU
Although those are just specs that anyone can look up, they're on par with almost every other highend smartphone out there right now. I'm running an experimental ICS rom and it's smooth as ****. It's not even in the final stages yet, so that says something.
It's cheaper because it didn't sell as anticipated.
I've gotten 4500 quads and linpack scores topping 108+ so yeah not that fast.
Wtf.
No its fast as hell and will do some serious multitasking with a gig of ram. Most evo 3ds can handle an overclock up to 1.782ghz the fact alone that the factory1.2ghz clock speed is actually detuned from the factory specs of 1.5ghz so technically "overclocking" to 1.5 is pretty damn near not overclocking.
I would say go for the 3d if you want the better phone.

Sensation has a much better camera, and is thinner. But the extra ram does make the 3d feel much faster. Atleast when I played with them both I didn't think the sensation felt any faster than my epic 4g, but I noticed quite a difference when I used the 3d. Both stock of course when I played with them. If you need a really clear camera then its the sensation you need. Other than that the 3d is the way I went because I have sprint, and because it seamed so much quicker.

Having both of these phones myself, I have to say that at this moment in time the sensation has better rom's which give better performance than the EVO3D, which is a shame because i always thought the evo would spank the sensation, and on paper it does, but the user experience so far with the evo has been disappointing on the evo when compared to the sensation, i don't do benchmarks because quite frankly it doesn't mean ****, the user experience is everything and from what i've seen the evo has a little bit of catching up to do.
I've still got 11 days to return my evo and get either a galaxy nexus or an XL, I'm a fan of HTC Sense so i am dragging my heels on switching devices, i just hope the dev's can pull out the roms which the guys doing the sensation have.
I'm running Insert Coin at the moment, probably the fastest sense rom on the sensation, alas it doesn't seem to cut the mustard on the EVO, my DHD is smoother than this with only one core.
I've unlocked both cores and i'm using the anthrax kernel v2.
If you want to know what i mean, then just swipe the carousel around and right at the end you will see jitters and stuttering, the sensation doesn't do this, if the evo was as smooth as the sensation is then it would be a no brainer, but at the moment it's just not the case.
Oh and for anyone about to say putting a senseless rom on their evo is smooth, well yea it is, but i didn't buy the evo to live without sense, i could have got a galaxy nexus for that.

In short, the EVO is a better phone, however if you plan to flash a rom, which i think you will, then at the moment the sensation is ahead, but that will probably change.

Hardware wise, Evo3D trumps Sensation. It's just how it was marketed.
During that time, this section was flooded with assholes who were arguing newer phones like the sgs and other non-related phones with superior specifications and ROM support that it kind of killed it's tractions here (not excluding the babies who kept killing dev support here because of there constant demands for things they had no right to push since they weren't helping with the code).
On the outside, it was the best at release, but the competitors were selling their latest phones that weren't even available, and the end results was that people waited for them.
So now you see them trying to get rid of there stock in preparation for the next big thing. I still love my phone. I came from the Hero and knew what specs I was looking for. If we could get ICS running on that little machine, my horizon for this phone was, and still is, grand. It's capabilities will last me well into the next phase of phones until I'm forced to get a new one that will accommodate the new change in cellular frequencies.
the Evo 3d would be great coming from the DHD, IMO,
I just got my 3d a coupole months ago, upgraded from the original EVO 4G, I could have gotten any phone, or even waited for some of the new ones im sure sprint will release in the next 3ish months, and I am completely satisified, I find my phone to be rediculously fast, It takes whatever i throw at it with ease, especially when I have anthrax kernels.
And I feel like once the 3D officially gets ICS, things are just going to get faster and smoother..
Tomorrow I'm getting my Evo 3D GSM - which is an upgrade from my HTC HD2.
What should I see to be different (besides the obvious 3D). Will I get better battery life? My HD2 is currently getting around 4-5 hours of life, idle, and using 2-5ma an hour.
What roms do you recommend? Does ICS support 3D (besides camera)? Are there any roms like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482664 that have 3D support? And does LeeDroid have 3D support? I don't want 3D for all the time, but just to show friends.
Are there any good tweaks that are out there for the Evo 3D? Any recommended accessories?
Thanks,
Snowled.
Battery is fine if you aren't a super heavy user. No ICS roms have a functioning camera at the moment, and AOSP roms do not support 3D in any way.
Leedroid fully supports all functions as it is based on official HTC firmware, and is imo the best gingerbread rom on the device.
If you want to squeeze the most out of your battery I would recommend using Anryl 10.07 kernel and setting a low conservative clock speed for screen off, and an interactive clock speed for screen on via SetCPU.

Well the ICS Sense versions are actually 3.6 and 4.0 . But to answer your question no, they do not support 3D at all as they are mainly based on the Sensation (3.6) and One S (4.0) official firmwares, neither of which have any 3D libs or support whatsoever. Until an official EVO 3D ICS firmware comes out, there will be no perfectly working (eg. missing 3D, camera, bluetooth, USB mounting etc.) ROM for ICS.
Definitely invest in an extended battery. I got me a 3500 mah and love not being too dependant on an outlet throughout the day.
Well because off the 3D it takes longer until we get full function ports that also have the 3D.
An spare battery could come in handy. I think its a very good phone, only HTC One S and HTC One X are in mine eyes better then HTC Evo 3D and both don't have the 3D.

Sounds like you need to get a new battery for the phone, if it's sitting idle and only getting 4 to 5 hours.
My recommendation... Don't buy it... It's a year old, and you'll wish you held out just a couple more months for a "One Series" phone.

U must be DUMB
First, the Evo is in no way one year old ... First time available at the end of juny in USA only !! More than two months to go only for Sprint Version ...
Second, why to hold out for One Series ? Costs more than 300€ up than Evo and what can it do better than Evo ? Right, nothing ... No microSD, no changeable battery, too big, expensive, ...
Great - you get a bit more sharpness and quad core thats not even lagfree ?! 599€ lol

Hardly, it has a natural 1.51ghz dual core aka the same as the One S and USA version of the One X, and 1gb ram which is 256mb MORE than the One S and the same as the One X. Not to mention it doesn't have that disgusting pentile style display and has fully removable external storage and battery. The One X's only saving grace is its screen resolution. Sense 4.0 is a non issue as it will undoubtedly be ported with full functions when the official RUU of EVO 3D ICS is released.
The EVO 3D is still a very strong phone and at the current prices it would be madness not to get one.
Oh and it has 3D .

If the price difference between the HTC Evo 3D and HTC One X wasnt so big I would also recommend that.
But its really worth buying it, I bought it for € 289 and now its in MediaMarkt germany again € 269, so price dropped € 20.
Anyway that is less then € 300 for an really good Android phone, its even better then the HTC Sensation XE which is overhyped because off beats audio.
In mine country you will pay about € 320 for it orso, its still cheap, an HTC One S, which is better then Evo 3D would cost € 479, but has some cons.
Honestly? It's not a bad phone. I had an LG Optimus 2X until a few days ago (I was running them side by side for a month-ish), and the optimus had pretty much everything better (IMO!), except half the memory and smaller resolution screen. I would say the reception is slightly better on the EVO 3D. I would say technically the O2X was the better phone, although I do think it would REALLY benefit from having more memory.
I don't really care about the 3D at all, but the number of accessories and just I preferred using the EVO 3D made me sell the O2X. I don't actually like sense however, although it's easy to use.
Also.. 'friend steam' kills your battery, I wouldn't use it lol.
Bottomline, the Evo is still a good purchase for the price (as long as it's not still high). If the newer phones are anything like the price of the Evo 3d, then then 3d isn't worth getting and you may as well get something new like the HTC One X.
I really think the other guys recommendation NOT to buy the Evo 3D is completely missing the cheap cost of the Evo 3D (for most people). If you are getting it on contract it might not be worth getting, so do your sum's first

Go on amazon.com and get the wall charger with 2 batteries. It's well worth it. Under $20 and very nice to never have to plug ur phone in. Yeah u gotta rip the back off and switch them all the time but this thing starts up so fast compared to my og EVO it doesn't even matter. U will like the phone. These new evos not having replaceable batteries has got to be a bad thing. I dont know how it will ever get rooted if u can't get urself out of s bootloop lol. I haven't rooted my 3d yet cuz I don't really like the methods out right now and with it getting ics I probably won't even bother.

As a fairly new Evo3D user I can say it's a great phone and I see no reason not to get it. I upgraded from a Samsung Moment and have been impressed with the power of my new Evo3D, which is a beast compared to the Moment. The only thing I don't like about the EVO3D is that it doesn't have a physical slide keyboard built-in; I loved that feature of the Moment and am still getting used to using the inefficient on-screen touch keyboard.
As for ROMs, I first flashed the Fresh v4.2.0 because it is basically a better version of Stock. Fresh runs excellent on this phone and battery is good. Now for the past few days I am testing MeanROM v3.4 with Chad's Anthrax kernels, and still trying to get it working right. If I can't make an Anthrax kernel work well I'll probably go back to the kernel that came with Fresh as I had absolutely no problems with it.
I'm getting a new phone soon. And this one is actually cheap and has dual core + 3D <3!
But I want your opinion if I should buy it. Why should I buy it, why I shouldn't buy it. Good custom roms. Ics, rooting and all that stuff..
Thanks for your time!

best android device i have owned, personally. if you can get your hands on one, do it and don't think twice.
it has great hardware, and with the release of ICS, that hardware is being utilized and optimized to it's maximum potential.
Great specs
OK screen
3D is a gimmick
If you like tinkering with your phones the 3d is definitely one to consider, if you can get it for a cheap price. ICS leaks have dropped, so the roms are mostly fully functional. S-OFF methods have been found for various HBOOTS so doing the above should be quite easy. All in all, get it.
What's not to like about 3D selfies
Nah seriously though, hardware is still powerful enough for everything you throw at it. The 3D is fun for a day, then I pretty much haven't touched it since, although watching 3D movies is still on my to do list. With the official leaks of ICS out the development has been going crazy and there are some truly excellent roms on offer, mdeejays and mwakious being my favourites so far.
If you can get it for a decent price then why haven't you bought it already is kinda what I'm saying

My only complaint about the phone is the touch screen is a little over sensitive. You can activate things just by barely brushing the screen by the slightest ammount. It takes some getting used to but other than that the phone is awsome. Also, just an fyi since it took me a long time to confirm this the evo3d does indeed have Gen-1 gorilla glass.

+ more RAM too.
1GB instead of 768MB
this phone is perfect for me...unless some gamechanging software and abilities show up i don't think i'll be upgrading for another phone this november (maybe tablet =P )
Phone is great, especially rooted with a custom Rom. It runs anything I throw at it easily. You will not be disappointed.

No one mentioned the hassle of HBOOT 1.5. Read up on it carefully. Once you get past it, there is plenty of love for this phone to make it last a good while.
cheap and good mobile phone

You make a very good point. It litteraly took me 8 hours to root this phone (Including time to temp root, backup, crack hboot, install recovery, rom and restore) and thats after doing weeks of research and knowing exactly what I was doing every step of the way. My wifes Samsung Galaxy S2 took all of mabye 15 minutes. But as the above said, once your past that its gravy and I still like this phone better than my wifes S2.
So i just wanna know, Are you guys gonna switch to a newer phone out there anytime soon?,HTC has pretty much dumped the EVO 3D (Shame on you HTC,Shame on you) Are you switching to another HTC Device or going with another brand? I Switched to a Galaxy note 2 around a month ago, I dont think ill ever go back to an HTC phone..once the phone is out for 9-12 months..htc never mentions it ever again..Look at the One X its being overlooked by HTC because they got the new phones out. Not everyone wants to have a high end device with a 1080p screen and pay 800 $ for one. Some just want a mid range device. But im talking too much on HTC now.I still use my EVO 3D whenever im travelling because i got the 4000 mah battery on it which lasts a hell alot of time even with overclock.

Yeah HTC has a habit of dropping their flagships after a year. The Desire got dropped after the update from 2.1 to 2.2, now the EVO 3D dumped at ICS. I just bought a One X because of it's specs and I'm dreading to see how long HTC is going to support it for
I've pretty much dumped sprint altogether and went to a droid RAZR on Verizon. I barely had a good connection plus it was getting too expensive for me. Its a good mid range phone and costs 100 on new contract, 150 for droid RAZR HD which I recommend. By all means if you feel the need to switch phones. Mine were purley financial reasons but I still keep my evo 3d and update it whenever a new release for my favorite ROM comes out. Purely a preference thing.

EVO 3D works like a warhorse because of 1Gb/1.2ghz combination and a good battery. Upgrade can be wise if switched to EVO LTE or DNA.

You should have purchased Exynos s2 or s3 as they still perform much better than the tegra 3 one x. Many games get extra graphic effects and enhancements on S3 and even on S2 but not on tegra 3 one x.... Or your one x is the Qualcomm variant?
Still waiting for that quad core to come out.

Ok, but please don't purchase a tegra 3 device, it's a horribly slow chipset. The combination of Exynos and Mali 400MP4 forms a beast in multitasking, processing and even in gaming. Tegra 4 might be better. But Exynos 5 and next gen Mali GPUs will again outperform tegra 4.
Our evo 3d at Galaxy s2/s3 graphics in modern combat 4 performs better than one x. One X lags and 3D does not.
Thanks for the heads up brother. I'll definitely keep that in mind. And speaking of performance, this leads to another question I want to ask.......*goes off to make a new thread*
