Sprint's return packaging finally arrived. I waited a few days, and i have decided i just can't hold onto it. The 3d is cool and stuff, but in reality. It's not that big of an upgrade over my evo 4g..Which i still have, so i'll just run CM7 for a month or so until the S2 comes out. Decent phone, fyi if anyone needs an additional charger (those china chargers that plug onto a wall and charge batteries) and 3 batteries i can sell all 4 for $20 + $3 postage. let me know.

i have not ate a twinkie in a long time btw gotta love these return threads lol i dont understand them if you dont like it just go and rate it on the website if you want people to truely know why you returned it
I just returned mine yesterday too, and went back to the Evo 4g also. I don't know why, but I just really liked my Evo 4g's wider screen and keyboard layout. Plus I didn't care for the 3d screen. It reminded me of looking at those old holographic comics that moved when you changed the angle that you were looking at it. Makes my eyes cross just thinking about it.
This phone is so awesome I'm keeping it!

Lol, You really miss those 4mm?
Also, I don't understand people returning their phones, because they can't wait for s-off. It'll be here in less then a month. Yeah, I miss cm7, but the 3vo is a great phone and the screen resolution is much better in my opinion. I thought I was impatient, but I guess I have a little patients seeing so many return threads.
Thanks for sharing! We all REALLLLLY wanted to know that your taking your phone back! :roll eyes: What else did you do today?!

If I return my evo back ill need to remember to post a thread about it to tell the world.
3D is not the main feature on the EVO 3D. And it's not a holographic thingamajig...
I'm suprise that people over look the fact that the EVO 3D is more powerful than the EVO 4G as far as hardware goes. I would pick the EVO 3D hardware before I even take a second look on the wider screen of the EVO 4G. The wider screen is nice, but I would rather triple multi-tasking...
The hardware itself on the EVO 3D speaks for itself...
This is what I did one day on my lunch break.
1) Turn on my BT setup to connect to my car stereo system
2) Tune into Resco Radio (Streaming internet music, digitally imported, drum and bass channel)
3) Played Asphalt 6 Adrenaline 3D, with sound option turn down by half, I was actually cruising playing to my favorite music from the same device, EVO 3D.
Here is the good part, I did all these at the same time....there were no lag, freezes..or whatever.... EVO 4G cannot do this... The hardware on the EVO 3D speaks for itself ( did I just repeated this ?)...it own's the EVO 4G period
I returned mine tonight... to the charger after a awesome day of EVO3dage!!!
Today me and my 3d did lots of Facebooking, texting, 3d+ ::gasp:: 2d pictures, Then we turned the overclock amplifier to 11 and played Final Fantasy 7, Starfox 64, Chrono Trigger, Sonic 2... Then we streamed some music at the gym. Oh some phone calls too. All with awesome battery life!
AND get this: I'm gonna do it all again tomorrow because I still have mine!

So you expect someone to pay $23 bucks, when they can just go on ebay and pay $10?.... Ok, that makes sense. Don't try to cheat people out. And this phone is a major upgrade compared to the Evo 4G. I still have mine, with CM7, and theres no comparison. This phone is a beast from the middle east.
I just wanted to tell everyone I'm keeping ny device. I can never go back to that lower resolution and dated CPU. This thing is so fast I'm playing n64 roms and android games u never could on the 4G. S off is on the way. Overclocking for fun. But man adw ex is so smooth its just the smoothest experience any of my tech friends have ever seen. That includes an iPhone 4 owner. I'm keeping mine... I should start a thread about keeping it--that'd how happy I am with this product.
I also don't understand why people keep going back to the outdated og evo.
Single Core vs Dual Core. That alone is why the 3D Evo kills the old Evo.
Eh but not everyone is tech savy i guess.
Show me a Evo 4G that can record 720p video at 25+ frames per sec. Show me a Evo 4G that can play back 1080p movie files without a shutter.

Hey everyone,
I'm currently planning on upgrading from my Samsung Captivate. I haven't dealt with custom ROMs (I would have with the Captivate if I weren't switching), but am definitely planning on using them with the next phone I get.
When reading about the Inspire v. Atrix I've seen a lot of support for the Inspire due to the fact that it can load customs ROMs and therefor run faster, while Motoblur slows the Atrix down.
I'm a bit hesitant to buy the Inspire because I'm worried in the next couple of years the dual cores in the Atrix will be useful (and I like the better battery life).
And so my essential questions are this:
What are the major issues with Motoblur?
Does Gingerblur fix the lag issues with the Atrix, or does the Inspire still run more smoothly?
Does anyone expect full custom ROMs to be run on the Atrix at any point?
Thanks a lot for you help!
MotoBlur slows down all as hTC Sense does the same.
I LOVE hTC and I'm writing from my blazing fast G2 @2GHz but...I've bought an Atrix, at least it's dualcore...Tegra2.
And remember that it's an interesting device so...I hope that someone will trick the Tegra2's security chain.
Another thing: nothing is uncrackable.
Ouh, synthetically, I'd go on the Atrix choice.
I have had all three phones and my choice is the Atrix. Battery life on the inspire was horrible and didn't have a front facing camera. Currently I am running Gingerblur 6.5 and it is smoking fast. The Inspire was not even close to this fast! Also, this is the best battery life I have ever had on a smart phone.
So I would recommend the Atrix 4G!

First off this is the wrong place for this thread.
I have an atrix and I love it. Yeah blur sucks, but I never used sense either. That's the beauty of android your not stuck like ios. If you want a big screen then go with the inspire, but keep in mind you have far less memory and only a single core and no tegra. The only thing really holding this phone back right now is the fact that development for apps and games don't fully utilize all of the power it has to offer. But that'd about to change bowe that the bionic is about to come out on verizon, it's pretty much the same phone. The catch is there are more devs on verizon phones. So inevitably there will be a butt load more support coming for dual core phones, especially moto.
That's my 2 cents.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I've used Both. I loved the inspire. From HTC sense to the screen size everything was right. Then the reality started kicking in. I would use the phone for 20 minutes with the screen on checking twitter emails ect and the battery would loose 25%. Even when I didn't touch it it would drain about 10% an hour. Its an awesome phone but it would always have to be on yhr charger for me and this got really annoying. Now with the atrix I do miss the bigger size of the inspire screen but I get thru all day with this thing. And it has HDMI out and if you install the webtop hack like me you get hulu or whatever on your HDTV and you know what? Webtop is great for videos. It completely replaced my need for Google TV. That being said I do miss sense UI and the large screen but at the end of the day when you look at what's most important and a better long term investment atrix wins hands down.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yea, I agree, this probably belongs in the general area.
But a few quick words from a former Captivate user. Yea, they are super simple to hack, and that was cool. Especially since the phone had so many bug when released. Hacker/devs really cleaned it up and made it a good phone. But there are many things the Atrix can do that the old captivate cant, and the Inspire as well. For me, HDMI out is a huge deal, and webtop (with hack) is the icing on the cake. I love playing Emus on this while its hooked up to my TV. Its like having a NES,SNES,N64,GBA,Sega,PS1 in my pocket at all times.
The potential of this phone is HUGE. Hopefully as things progress more things will come, and be developed to put all this power to good use. I am sure that the badass Devs that are dedicated to this phone will come up with some very exciting things (as they have already!) If I had the know how, I'd certainly be in that ring coming up with cool things to do with this sucker.
Just out of the box, simply using a different launcher like LauncherPro will solve most of the motoblur issues. I used it that way for the first few weeks with no problem, and no lag. I just recently got the courage to flash gingerblur (I flashed the HELL out of my old Captivate) and so far it is awesome, and even faster. I am very happy I made the switch to Atrix. But if I had the $$ I'd prpbably have kept the Captivate too just to play with custom roms and tinker with.
Anyway, I would probably choose the Atrix over the Inspire just because of features and power potential.
Well if your worried about which phone will be more usefull in a couple years don't get either one. With the progression we've seen lately both phones will be considered dinosaurs by late summer.

That's true. The price of the Atrix is already dropping, and with word/specs of the HTC Sensation 4G (Pyramid), as well as the EVO 3D, the Atrix will be old hat very soon it seems.

Looking at the ATT site, the price has not dropped. $199 for new contract is still normal.

Dont know what inside info u got but i dont see any phone smoking atrix this year... Apart from slightly better camera, screen or 3D (which are personal tastes), i dont see any specs that atrix can't match .. and when u throw in the accessories (which no one else is even working on), atrix becomes a unique phone solid enough to last till the Quadcores come NEXT summer.
Here is post comparing atrix & sensation and most users still prefer atrix. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032403

The Evo 4G is the first Android phone I have ever owned, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. I think it's a good candidate for one of the best phones that HTC has released ever. If the Evo 3D is just as good as the Evo 4G was last year, then that should make the loss of the og evo not so bad

I actually flashed back to Stock a couple of days ago and couldn't stand being back on Sense. Flashed CM7 back and cancelled my preorder. I don't care how fast and how improved, unrooted Sense just sucks.
I may join you guys after you work through all the quirks and after the first update (definitely not before we have root), but my Evo is just as good today as it was a year ago.
EVO4G was my first touch screen phone and Android phone(moved from BB Curve), so it will be tough letting her go. However, I am extremely excited for my EVO 3D!

Yeah, my first android was the g1. then switched to sprint for the hero and went to the evo on launch. sold my evo june first, went back to the hero. Man other than the web being slow, and the camera taking forever to load. The hero has been fun to use for the last month. Im running cm7 and its smooth. Wayy too smooth for a old phone. This makes me realize how much android has grown up in the last 3 years. Im not going to be selling the hero. She is staying in my collection as my backup phone. the Evo 4g was to valuble $$ to just shovel away in the closet. I hope we can make this evo 3D a success so that htc will keep the evo line going. Becuase I know, After playing with the 3d at sprint today, I made a good choice and will be buying HTC again, hopefully next will be a quad core thin rugged evo. call it the Evo Q4, for quad core. anyway. . thanks sprint.
Luckily my wife is getting my EVO and I am selling her Epic and I'm grabbing the 3d Evo, OG evo was a great phone and first phone I got into with flashing and rooting etc...
It was a lot of fun going into the sprint store yesterday seeing the workers play with the 3d evo, and I was playing with 3.0 sense on my regular Evo with some customers not knowing how i did it.
Can't wait till Friday

Try Synergy as soon as you can. Sense 1 and 2 do blow pretty bad but 3 is a big improvement and it's not going to be so bad rocking it until we get root. I have been on the stock rom for 2 weeks (burns in my OGE meant I got a new OG with GB already on it so no root and flash for me before getting rid of it) and it's been painful....

i live in waikiki on kuhio so i guess 4g is out here then?
so far its great the battery does seem to die quickly? maybe its cause i always have 4G on?
also signal bars seem to always be on and off
and i dont see any 3D isnt 3d supposed to pop out of the screen or is it some other kind of 3d? maybe im just blind lol..
the animations on this phone are so bad ass makes my iPhone look like ****
how fast is 4G supposed to be i get about 2 to 4 down and 400k up
I am a longtime htc fan but am finding myself impressed by this phone where the 3d wasnt giving me that umph. Call quality and signal are far better on this phone which has shown better speeds and battery life. I cant wait to see this unlocked cause im diggin it stock and cant wait to see what some devs would do to it ....

I also deactivated my EVO 3D and bought the Photon. It absolutely pulls a much better 3G and 4G signal. I get much better 3G and 4G signal strength and data stays connected unlike my EVO 3D. Phone calls and sound quality is also much better than the EVO 3D. I always get good compliments about the great call quality of this new Photon. I got bad feedback from people when i was using the EVO 3D The build quality is really amazing too. The ONLY thing i miss is HTC Sense. But I need a phone that actually works and the Photon does exactly that.

OK guys, I'm very used to the HTC IME keyboard with it's arrows and I'm having a hard time getting used to the Photon's stock keyboard. My biggest complaint is that it's cumbersome to add punctuation and symbols to my texts/emails. I have to press the number button and/or the punctuation button then search for the qyuestion mark, etc then go back to regular letters... Is there any advice you can give that might make this easier? This is driving me nuts because it takes me too long to type simple sentences. Mabe I'm doing something wrong so that's why I'm asking. I can't see how this keyboard is so good as you both claim... Thanks in advance.
Yeah people were constantly complaining about the evo3d call quality .....the ear piece sounded muffled to and the speaker was a joke. Ive gone from a touch pro to a hero to a desire then a g2 and a mytouch 4g then the evo3d. So i am very accustomed to using sense but the photon overlay isnt bad.

SwiftKey is by far the best keyboard I've ever used. Give that one a try.
I also have ADW Launcher and have been using it since I had my Evo.

Undecided between the Photon and Evo 3d
Hello everyone! I am thinking of switching my evo for the Photon and I have a few questions.
1) I was wondering if the signal reception is much better with it as some people say? My Evo 3d barely gets a weak 4g signal inside my house and I was wondering if this phone will improve it?
2)I come from the ogEvo and I upgraded to the Evo 3d first because the sprint reoresentarltive told me that my upgrade would end on July 31, do upgrades have a deadline?
3)Another thing that she told me is that if I exchanged my evo 3d for the photon and if I want to go back to the 3d she would charge me another $35 is that right?
4)Also do you guys know if the Photon would support the upgrade of sprint's network? I have read that the evo 3d has the support for the smr upgrade or something like that. Will the Photon still get better reception if that happes?
5)Another problem that I have with the evo 3d is that whenever I plug in my headset and I get a text the notifications get played through the headphones a well a the speaker. I wonder if you guys have the same issue with the photon?
Thanks in advance!

Grab LauncherPro Plus. Has all the functionality of sense while really speeding up the device. You won't regret it.

1. Reception is way better.
2. Never heard of a upgrade deadline.
3. Call to customer support will bypass the 35.
4. No idea but it would be retarded to release a line of superphones that couldn't handle the upgrade.
5. Don't use headsets.

I just ditched my EVO 3D....I miss sense , the EVO seems a tad bit more fluid, but with my Photon calls are clearer, no drops and I get better antenna signal. You won't regret this....I also had an EVO 4G which was better call and antenna signal wise. I think Moto's screen is also much more crisp. I really wanted the Galaxy 2 but I broke my4G beyond repair.
1. Yes it is a lot better
2. Yes, what he or she was talking about is your 1 year sprint premier upgrade which ended on 07/31/11
3. Yes sprint does charge a $35 restock fee, but I don't think you will regreat going to the photon. I have both 3d and Photon and the photon is my preferred phone. I also had the evo and loved sense, and while the sense 3.0 does have a lot of nice features some of it gets annoying.
4. From what the network team has told me when sprint switches to LTE its just a simple software upgrade. But Im sure that by the time that happens I will already be on a new phone so not that much a concern for me.
5.Not sure about the noise
If you like sense use spb shell.

Can't comment much on other stuff but I can say that when I was installing the drivers for qpst that there is a driver for LTE modem that installs. So yeah it'll work fine I think.

To avoid the restocking fee just be honest and tell them you were dropping calls and that you kept reading it seems other people have the same problem.

Hey guys, I know people usually hate these kinds of threads, but I've been a NS4G user for a while, and an Evo 4g user before that. My family is joining my Sprint plan and I'm thinking of giving my NS4G to the sister and getting a new phone. I like the idea of getting the 3d, but i am worried that it might be getting close to being outdated seeing as how it was released in June. That is pushing me towards the E4GT, but I would much rather have HTC's build quality and Sense over Touchwiz any day. So what do you guys think? Is it too late to get an Evo 3d on contract? Would you guys buy an Evo 3d again today if given the opportunity?

I love my 3D but it has been a very buggy phone. This is my 3rd E3D and if they would let me switch phones I would. I need to take this one back aswell it keeps freezing even with stock. I have to keep hitting my power button to turn the screen off then it works again some times for 5mins and some times 2weeks.

I love my evo 3d. Never had a problem and rooted it the very first day I got it. It's the best phone i've owned to date. Future phones will probably improve battery life, screen, and be lte compatible. I don't think you need more than dual cores, I think this phone will be competitive for quite a while. This just my personal opinion of course....

Thanks for your input. What other bugs did you experience other than the power button bug?

Thanks for your reassurance! I've always been an HTC guy (as you can tell from my phone history in my sig), and I wanna get back to them. I just have heard many bad things about the phone... i'll probably be going to sprint today to make my final decision, but i still would love more peoples input!

Haven't really had any issues with my 3D besides a really small dead pixel. You really shouldn't go off of what people tell you though because everyone has their own preferences. Take a look through the Dev. forum and check out the roms that the 3D has right now. It is a little behind on the dev side given we don't have CM yet but it all depends on what types of roms you like to run or if you are planning to root.
I was tempted to jump to the ET4G like many others but after seeing some make the jump then coming back to the 3D I decided against it. Just remember Samsung has a history of delaying software updates.

This has been my experience.
The only suggestion I have is what I've been telling everyone who asks. Since everyone is going to LTE, only get a LTE phone. Since Sprint's LTE has not started yet, amd will be rolled out starting late next year into 2013 and they are not dropping WiMax, I don't anticipate needing a Sprint LTE phone till Mid-late 2013. Meaning if you get a EVO 3D (the best Sprint Android phone IMO) through this summer, you will not be missing out on any speed things. Phone tech always is changing, but EVO 3D should get ICS sometime next year and be current enough for 1-1 1/2 years more.

Thanks guys, I think i may be going to pick one up today. I just hope I can live without Super Amoled. That is my favorite thing about the Nexus S. But I'm hoping with the qHD resolution I won't miss it too much. Thanks for all of your input!

I moved from AMOLED (Legend) to SLCD Evo 3D and I don't regret. Black is not so black as it was on amoled, but all other colors are better.
The only problem I've had was a busted antenna, but swapped that phone out and it's been all good since
The EVO 3D is a superb phone. Build quality is unmatched, as you're well aware as a longtime HTC owner. The only thing i wish they'd done differently is put an AMOLED screen on it, because the screen on this phone drains the battery faster than an AMOLED screen would.
GOT IT!
I picked it up today and I have been very pleased so far. Thanks guys for all of your input. I can't wait to get this thing unlocked and rooted(preferably not through HTC's unlocker(hboot 1.50)) in the next few days to see what this baby can do!
I got mine yesterday or the day before (nightshift messes up my brain!)
Anyway, I got it as a replacement for the Epic 4G..
I worked for Sprint in the past & have had nearly every Android that is worth having..
But most recently, I've had the EVO 4G & the Epic 4G, I usually have one for a few months and then want to go back to the other. I had this lated Epic off of a Craiglist trade (traded my white EVO 4G, straight trade... my last 3-4 of them have been Craigslist).
Anyway, like I said, this was a replacement, but this EVO 3D came from Sprint.. I took my Craigslist Epic into the store the other day because I was having data & GPS issues (since the 2.3 update) like the Galaxy series is known for & wanted to have another Epic (refurb or not). This was my first time going to the Sprint store for repairs (not any store that knows I used to work for Sprint, since it's in TX & I'm from FL), and they offered me a replacement right away.. EVO 4G, EVO 3D, EVO Shift, Galaxy Nexus (had that one the day it came out so I had the slow downloads, but don't like non-expandable storage).. I was blown away the system offered me a EVO 3D, so yeah, I jumped on that.......
I love my EVO 3D. I had been whining recently about needing a dual core, even wanted to go to the next iPhone whenever it hits sprint (4G or LTE compatible), but now I'll be sticking with this phone because the dual core really is superb. I mean ya, maybe I'd like a Galaxy S II better since it has better optics for the camera, but I've already had too much fun with the 3D novelty.
Plus, it's an EVO with a camera button, I LOOOOVE that. It's also the nicest build quality of any phone I've had. Oh, and it has Gorilla Glass... I hate screen protectors.
I'm also satisfied that I don't need to use APP 2 SD for a while since it has plenty of space compared to the Epic.
Not sure about the battery life yet, but this is the one phone I'll finally buy a Seidio battery for if need be, since it's worth it.
It actually doesn't have Gorilla Glass (the corning one). It only has HTC's Gorilla glass equivalent, so god knows how good it actually is.
Wow, good to know... I swear it says Gorilla Glass somewhere official though. Of course it's been out so long I know it's already been discussed LOL
Here's the most official I can find for now, straight from Corning

I've grown into my 3D. I received it as a replacement for my Evo 4G, which was having GPS reboot issues. At first, I didn't like it. It felt laggy, and didn't seem like much of an upgrade to the 4G. Now, when I use my wife's Evo 4G, that phone feels "held back", for lack of a better term. Although, I do not use the HTC sense launcher. It has nice eye candy, but the software isn't optimized, so it doesn't run very well. I like the sense apps, just not their launcher. I do prefer the size ratio of the 4G, compared to the 3D. And the 3D runs games like a champ, compared to the choppiness you will see on the 4G.
I'd still prefer the Epic Touch 4G, as that screen trumps the 3D's screen any day of the week.
I had been using LauncherPro, but every few hours I would get hit with the "use Sense or LauncherPro" defaults question... like ?! I already answered this question (it wasn't going back home from somewhere I hadn't set the answer to yet), so I went back to Sense, oh well. I'm happy with a folder instead of more icons I suppose.
