I am running CM7 and in a debate as to whether or not to sell my EVO 4G with CM7 (so smooth) and get the EVO 3D, or stay with the EVO 4G. Let me know what you guys think.
UPDATE: I believe that I would be able to get roughly $300.00 for the EVO (condition is flawless with NO scratches etc.). ETF fee is going to be about $100.00. HTC EVO 3D $249.99(my guess at pricing). Therefore:
$300.00 - $100.00 - $249.99 = $49.99 (out of pocket)
It is definitely a plus knowing that the HTC EVO 3D is going to be supported by CM. CM might not be for everyone, but it is definitely for me, and the other 100,000 people that downloaded CM7 RC1 in the first 24 hours it was put up.
I am actually using this poll to show my wife why I should get this phone. All input is greatly appreciated and used. Thanks!
P.S. Wife will not impact whether or not I get this phone. This will just help prevent those late night, ahem - conversations about what my money is spent on.

exactly how do they "cripple" phones? I've been using CM since CM6 for Evo came out and have been extremely happy with it.
Also why do we have to chose between CM7 and the 3D? Are we assuming CM won't make a version for the 3D?
You know cm will have a Rom for the 3d as soon as the phone is in stores, i know mag with his destroyer Rom is already looking forward to building his 3d Rom. My question for you is why sell your Evo? It's still going to be useable when you get the 3d

Here is the deal. CM7 (RC3) is so smooth! If I switch, I am sure that the camera and several other features wont be working right away, and maybe not for a while. CM7 has everything working on EVO 4G and it is the best ROM, IMHO. So, just looking for opinions on whether to stay or grab the EVO 3D.

Because I am no longer a SP customer. The only way that I will be able to get the discount on the phone is to pay the ETF ($100), then re-sign a new 2 yr contract with the EVO 3D. If I sell the EVO 4G it should offset the cost.

Evo3D With CM7
....... Now thats hot
The system dump for the 3d should be out before the phone, and I'm reading that the programing is almost the same as the Evo, I'm not thinking that it's going to take every long for them to get a fully working 3d, if your unsure about cm having everything working i would just sit back for another month and wait for the system dump. And we should see a working Rom soon after.

If you honestly think they have a more stable rom than stock you are kidding yourself.

I think cm7 is more stable than stock, using sz 1.0.1 bfs gps works fine, no fc, no random reboots, no slowdowns. the scrolling is smooth, the display doesn't jitter or lag. its great

CM7 RC3 may be more smooth than CM7 RC2, but I was having massive issues with either version.
RC2, 4G super crawl speed. 250kbps, vs Calkulin 1.8 880kbps, GPS didn't work without doing the fix.
RC3, 4G crawl speed, 250kbps, vs Calkulin 1.8, 880kbps, cellular signal and 3G flipping from zero bars to full bars multiple times within a matter of a few seconds non stop.
RC2 and RC3 causing my battery to run massively hot when charging or using wireless tether. wired tether as well.
CM7 was a great refresh for the EVO, but isn't as polished to make it a daily use rom for me.

What rom are you using? I've had one problem with the GPS buy got that fixed in about 10 mins. The extra features are better than any other rom.

Stock doesn't even have a fully working bluetooth stack. Try using a wiimote with *any* sense rom, watch what happens.
And further, with stock, you can't even hdmi mirror at full speed, you have to modify the kernel (either that or mirror at slow speed.) Furthermore, trying to mirror with a stock rom, or any sense rom, is finicky due to software conflicts.
There are also a number of apps out there that don't work with a stock evo setup, and specifically mention they aren't compatible with evo. However if you use an AOSP rom they work fine.
How much you want for your Evo?

toastcfh said he'll be developing for the 3d so the will be awesome sauce!!!!!
Hopefully CM7 will be ported quickly. MIUI would be nice too. I've never been a fan of sense.
Cm is overhyped imo. In a vs fight, sliced bread would still win. I would go with 3d.
I have been using the new Android market for a week now and it suddenly does not respond when I open it. I just see the screen greyed out and the spinny saying it's loading. The thing is that it never loads. Has anyone else had this issue? Any advice?

Agreed. It actually felt good to go back to the original... I think the update that got leaked was unfinished or not optimized for 3DEVO

Well for what ever reason unknown to me, it decided to work again on it's own.
I am glad to hear I wasn't alone.

Same thing happened to me. It would take forever to load the first page, even over wifi. Uninstalled the updates, and it works great now. The new market is pretty, but I think the old one is more functional
Never had this problem.. hah.
I don't like the new market. I tried it for a week, but just got a new Evo 3D and won't install it on my new one unless we are forced to take it.

I likethe new market but damn is slow, some apps won't update or took forever when to the old one and it works great ill just wait for google to work out the bugs and push the update instead
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
New market seems smoother to me, but to each his own

Does anyone know when we will be getting the new Market update? I have seen other phones updated already wondering what's taking the evo 3d so long to get it.

Personally I stay with the old one, the new seems to have some bugs that i prefer not to deal with
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
new one works great on my 3D.
Reviews in order, updates work correctly, carrier billing works.
I like it over version 2.
Does anyone know when the new version of the market will officially be released on the 3D?

Has anybody got the pushed out new one yet? My old market doesn't work no more when i go in every category, paid, free, just in, all says No matching content in the Android Market. My wifeys Evo did that last week it works some what now. Last nite I downloaded the new apk for like the 3rd time I just don't like it at all but I deleted it to see if that would fix the problem but nope.

Exactly how it is for me. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
I am trying to decide if rooting my phone is a good idea. Just bought it, but the stock rom seems too eat my battery. Is there a good reason to root this phone?
Will enhance my battery life?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
Yes and no. Depends on which ROM and kernel you install. Added to that, modification of your phone habits and screen brightness will increase your phone's battery life tremendously.
Hmm well I have reduced everything to minimum, so I can have more time out of the battery. I am hopeing that it will last longer after a week or two of use. I have a rooted HUAWEI x5 and there I gained more by rooting it. I was wondering if I could gain the same on this one.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
You better believe you can! Root away brother, and never look back. :-D
then this one will get rooted to
What's the best rom on this device btw? I used oxygen on my Huawei, with launcher pro. It became a awesome phone, except when it came to using it as a phone haha
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using XDA App
There's a bunch in the development section to try out. Personally, I really like warm since it has some of my friends from the hero days in it.
But you know how rooting goes. Nandroid and get to flashing!
Haha yes I know
I will have a look into it :-D but this time I will use more than 10 minutes to decide ;-) first phone got rooted 10 minutes after I bought it
Got side tracked
Did they ever get the dsniff up and running?
Haha I have to stick my head into that again, because having on it my phone would just be awesome ;-)

Root it! Root it! Root it!
Blackened Rom + chads kernel + juice defender = great batt life. Also by rooting phones u can undervolt and change to low freqs when screen is off which saves a lot of battery.

Lol This reminded me of Will Ferrell when he slammed on the gas screaming "America!" in the movie The Other Guys.
Dsniff is a packet sniffer that allows you to capture network traffic. Combined with a few other tools you might get wep keys etc.
Okey blackened rom and kernel.
One thing, how do I get a decent backup of the shipped rom? What app can be used?

Hi all,
Couldn't find a thread about this, sorry if it exists.
My EVO 3D has been experiencing what can best be described as phantom touches. I leave the phone alone with the screen on and it moves the home screens in a jittery fashion or randomly presses the screen. Approx middle, slightly to the left just below the centre of the screen and also closer to the home/menu soft keys. It's not a permanent issue, but it does go absolutely "mental" at times making the phone unusable until it settles down.
It also interferes with the lock screen, playing havoc with the pattern unlock.
Tried all the usual... factory reset etc etc but to no avail.
Has anybody else come across this?

I've had mine do that albeit, rarely. He home screen goes sporadic or the app drawer scrolling is messed up.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
It used to do that for me when I had it plugged in to my car.
Video record it! Then take it to the sprint store and say that you're scared of your phone and get a new one. If it can work for my neighbor, it can work for you! âīšâ
Mine does this horribly when my phone is in cold air. My last 3d also had this issue and it was replaced when installing a new digitizer did not help.
It's getting more frequent.
I'm in the UK.. I'd have to be REALLY scared of it to go to Sprint in the US

Lol Yeah, that would be a long trip. You ever thought about rooting it and installing a new ROM?
My Atrix does that when I set it down in certain surfaces, like a mattress out pillow, or carpet, but as long as I am touching the case of the phone, it doesn't do that.

I took the screen protector (Martin Fields) off and was trouble free for two days. I suspect that was coincidence though as it's now worse than it was prior to that.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Mine doesn't do that but there are times when I unlock it and it automagically goes to what ever app is in the lower right side of the screen. My wifes has started doing it also. Even replacements that I have gotten have done it.
i actually just had mine swapped out for the same reason.
did it on ICS, MIUI, and warm.
I say take a chance at running the newer OTA update combo pack that Xhausx put out. It does include some sorry of touch panel firmware update I believe. It's worth a shot just for the hell of it.

Likewise. After a month of having my Evo 3D, the screen would act possessed. No matter what I flashed or did, nothing would make the slightest difference. It got so bad that I ended up returning it.
OP, return it. It's a common issue with these phones.
SAME PROBLEM! i have flashed viper, synergy, olympus, warm, and more im sure! Same problem every time ! Please let me know if anyone finds a fix without returning the phone! THANK YOU!
It is a hardware problem, changing the ROM isn't going to help.
My d1 did the same thing after a year or so. It actually still works as long as you can keep the phone at a certain temp, but as soon as it warms up from use it goes back to it.
My girlfriends started doing that today
downloaded touchscreen tester from the market and what do you know digitizer is jacked some spots show as multitouch with only one finger
ok that helps. so, do i have to actually return the phone to fix the problem? or can i get a touchscreen tester and find the problem and fix it? or is that not even worth the trouble?
Thanks for the help
Oddly I just started encountering the same issue two days ago and now can barely use this phone.
Bit of an update.
I did S-On and so far haven't had the issue reappear. Obviously since it is an intermittent problem, it's not definitely gone.
I'll give it a day or so and report back.

+1 on this.
Now I know it's not me being crazy. I've always had random apps opening up after preforming an action even though I was sure I never touched that app.
