Hi just got my evo today, what a great phone, but in the uk where i got the phone from carphone wearhouse it says -
FREE 3D content
Download 3 FREE games and 3 FREE movies straight to your HTC Evo 3D smartphone from the new HTC Watch service! The first time you turn on your smartphone you'll be prompted to connect to Wi-Fi and start retrieving your content. The games: Spiderman, Need for Speed and Sims 3. The films: Green Hornet 3D, Piranha 3D and Resident Evil 3D. Please note the age advisory notices on this content before downloading. (You’ll be prompted to start the download when you turn your phone on for the first time)
But i have had the phone on for a while and connected to wifi and no download is there something im supposed to do? I have logged into gmail and the watch app and the green hornet on there i got to pa for and i don't think its 3d
any ideas??
thanks
wokerz
...and all we got was Green Hornet 3D and a couple demos in the US.
uk peeps need to post these up on the forums
I've had mine for a few days and it has never prompted to download any 3d content
same here, all I got with my e3d from carphone warehouse was a few 3d pics, tried to buy some games from gameloft but the UK site had none at all and the ones listed on the us site let you go through the whole process before telling you they're not available for my phone. sent then an email and got a really patronising and unhelpful email back
After getting fobbed off by them I felt fully justified in searching google for apks of their games and was quickly rewarded with full versions of spiderman and gt racing which are ace and they can Chase me for stealing them if they like but I asked them to sell them to me and they didn't care so f### em.
the apk's are out there and easy to find, good luck.
All I got was three movie previews, not full movies, and none were 3D
Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world
Same here, what i found on my phone which i got from CPW were:
- 3D pics
- & 3 (2d) movie trailers in hTC watch.
Someone wrote on the Uk EVO 3D thread that we should be receiving an update soon that will give us more 3D content.
One thing you could do is, ask a carphone warehouse personal in store or live chat online and get more info off them.
any updates about the update?lol
i just bought one and expected at least something to be in 3D apart from the default 3D photos!...what a joke!
Nope no news about us getting an update.
Android 2.3.6 is out (minor update but still), so hopefully they take there time and release a good strong (big) update mid September with bug fixes, OS upgrade, 3D content and camera improvements

is that an ota update?....i'm on 2.3.4 and it won't update
Yup, 2.3.4 is the latest update that we're on
I wish we got all those free and not just a spiderman demo and The Green Hornet.

I picked up my HTC Flyer this evening at Best Buy. General feel and speed of the device is very quick. I did not get the pen yet. They did not have any of those in stock at the particular store I was at.
My question however deals with the Onlive service. I was under the impression that the Flyer would come with Onlive built in to the system... However, I cannot find it or find any additional detail on the service. This was supposed to be one of the key selling points I thought.
Anyone have any details?
I have no details. Reviewers mentioned it was coming soon. I assume it has simply been delayed. But, it does bother me HTC has said nothing about it, and removed mentions of it from all their marketing and promotional videos.
Bump
Rather than start a new thread, maybe this will be useful! Engadget has a video demoing OnLive on our lovely Flyer's with a wireless controller!
Check here!
I wondering is this was a lovely bit of marketing spin.
In that 'eventually' you will be able to use Onlive (once Onlive is ready), but the way it was marketing suggested to you (and the rest of us) that it would be from launch.
I suspect if we looked, we'd be hard pushed to see anything from either party (HTC or Onlive) that actually says from launch.
Similarilly I'd thought I'd seen in some of the media/PR around MWC that with the Flyer you'd be able to use Skype supporting video. Now again that doesn't seem to be the case, as Microsoft don't yet have a freely available version of SkyPe available that supports video under Android.

Originally stated that video calling would be possible too

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my Flyer but I feel with a handful of apps and services not available like they claimed, it is extremely disappointing. This tablet feels really rushed and it is strange because they were one of the last companies to market a tablet device. My impression originally is that Honeycomb would be released for it shortly after it was released but I keep reading it won't be released for potentially 3-5 months from now. I can't complain about Honeycomb too much because I knew that way before purchasing it but still...
In my opinion I don't think honey will take that long bc the 10" version is going to have honey on it with the scrib also. Im prety sure that i herd and saw on some reviews from HTC view that it will be getting honey shortly after launch which is June 24, so I'm thinking once the 10" comes out or right around that time the ota will be sent out. The 10" is supposed to hit this summer july. I have a friend with HTC and he also said when I asked him before flyer hit the shelf, "its coming soon after flyer's launch, along with onlive probably coming with the update."

I am starting sprint service an i am wondering what phone i should get i have already had the evo an epic an i liked the evo more besides the screen
Now with all the problems with the evo 3d should i get it or maybe the nesux because i didnt really care about 3d its just a battery drannner
So what do you all think?
you will prob get hw003.. if we are to ref the evo 4g .. hw003 had most bugs worked out.
and yes. i would recommend it. i am not looking back at my evo4g one bit. love this phone.
Thanks i really love the feel an look of this phone i just want to make sure its not a over advertised cheap device but i plan on gettin it around the 4th of next month i was wanting to wait a couple of shippments to make sure i get a device that has no problems i loved my evo and i hope to love this phone just as much
once you go Evo you never go back!lol.naw but on a serious note this phone is just like OG evo bigger cooler brother with a few trricks up his sleeve.
The 3d is better than the HERO.
IF you do get it, get a pair of $ .99 reading glasses.
The preceding is the reason that companies "BUY" engineering: so they have products which are downgraded (dpi/pixels p i ?) and features which are legacy to the original specs (1024 dpi).
BTW if the ceo of htc uses the evo 3d for email: .... I hope he has reading glasses. LMFAO #shortsighted
Why do u need reading glasses
Pull the trigger on the Evo 3D worth the updgrade from the 4G, it's faster and Sense runs great. I agree the whole 3D thing is a fad and almost useless on this phone but after seeing it the geek in me was impressed...I've had it for less than 24 hours but I am already used to the higher resolution....so far no problems.
i would reccomend it
Yes.
-----
3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I would highly recommended it. Best phone I've owned. Top notch !

Haha what? Reading glasses? I think you are alone with that thought... The EVO 3D has of of the best screen resolutions of all phones out there. Definitely recommended. Also it will have some of the best developer support here at xda if you ever want to go the customizing route.

Yesssssssss
Yes, I would recommend it's amazing.
Yeah, definitely the evo 3d. Run smooth as butter and 3d is amazing, no eyestrain here as long as the content was well made (looking at you, Spidey...) The Green Hornet looks flawless in 3D

Hi 'leggs,' here's why. The default font size, especially in messaging and mail, is just too small for all but 'young eyes!' Sprint forgot many of us paid premium dollar for a large screen with LARGE print (fonts) and icons. There is no font adjustment anywhere on the phone. Nore any app in the Market. I spoke with Sprint 2nd tier tech support and they said there is no cure. I have a new EVO 3D and I'm taking it back mainly for this reason. Eye strain sucks. I want my 4G back.........with Gingerbread. Others may love this phone, but mine is buggy......it freezes often, the camera acquired a green tint, and several navigational arrows in texting and url writing are simply gone. I think the 4G came 'out of the box' on its' first day as a much more usable device.

Absolutely love this phone. Even if u don't use 3D this thing is polished.
Phone is phenomenal! Even the 3D is a blast and way better than I thought it would be. You get used to the viewing angles quick, and if you are constantly under the influence of substances, the 3D is 10x better. Just watch Green Hornet high as a kite, then afterwards, envy the speed of the phone in general. I love this handset!
Highly recommended

Yeah, what Paw Paw said! Although I can deal with the smaller font caused by the higher resolution, I do appreciate the issue since my own vision has always been poor. I've been wearing glasses since I was four and trying to focus on something you can't see well is a pain. I wish we had font control. That and root access would make this the perfect phone.
In the UK it's really this or Sensation in HTC terms and in 3D terms the LG Optimistic 3D & is it better than both of them?
My old TMo HD2 came with both Transformers movies pre-loaded, which are pretty darn good movies to showcase on the (then) top of the line WinMo 6.x phone. And I think it is the G2x that came with Avatar. So what I don't get, is why did the primo top of the line, and first 3D phone, our EVO 3D, come pre-loaded with this crap Green Hornet movie?
Yes, the 3D effects are amazing! The early office scene with Cameron Diaz is jaw dropping. And I use that scene the most to show off what our phone can do to my friends. But the storyline, the acting, pretty much everything other than the 3D effects suck. It is a waste of disc space, and was a waste of my time watching it, but i did want to complete it, so my fault there.
Why, this being a high visibility showcase phone for HTC, didn't the pre-loads it with a 3D movie equal to its status? Why didn't they load Avatar in 3D on it? Or wait for a huge blockbuster 3D movie to come later on, and offer it as a free download? Geez! If it weren't for it being pretty amazing 3D effects to show off to others, this movie would be erased. HTC, or Sprint, really bungled this one.
I think the same, whst a waste of time and resourses!I wish they just give us the option to choose something good, like Samsung does with movies for there phones, well the htc HD came with Transformers and S Vibrant with Avatar, it's probably a T-mobile thing to get better movies to there phones. Well, they have to deal with there crappi T-service!

The movie blows, that's why.

Yeah it's on the SD card that came with the phone. It's in a format you can't mess with and seems only readable by the Watch app.
You have to create/login to the HTC Sense account on the phone in order to download the license to watch the flick.
I just wish they picked a better 3D movie that showed off the 3D a little better. The Green Hornet only has a little bit of 3D action going on. But a free movie is free and I can't complain about that.
Guess I agree, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes for them to be able to pre-load these movies on the phones. I'm guessing there is some correlation b/w how lackluster that movie is and how Sprint is able to give away tons and tons of copies of that movie with their phone.
Green Hornet was hilarious. How could you not like it?!
Although I do agree, for a flagship device, they should've included something with a bigger crowd.
It all boils down to Sprint partnering with Sony on the release of the phone, which around the time of the release of The Green Hornet on DVD and blu-ray. It's a smart move by Sony in getting the movie in more people's hands, while also helping to promote HTC's new phone on several of Sony's marketing tours.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I gotta agree...Sprint could have chosen a better movie.
G2x was bone stock vanilla with very minimal bloatware..
Tmobile HD2 only cam with 1 transformers movie (im almost 100% on that as I only had it for 13 days and returned it)
Tmobile Samsung Vibrant came with avatar....
I've had all three of the phones listed..
And yeah green hornet ****ing sucked.. Seth rogan had 3 funny lines.. but he hasn't done anything good since pineapple express
Is rather have nothing than a bunch of garbage. But they did make a option to delete it.. and with root/s-off/cm7
Hopefully I will be happy

Really?
Come on guys its a free movie, it was going to the highest bidder. If you want Avatar 3D that bad i'll fileserve it for you its about 1.3gb tho
I'll even toss in Tangled 3D for those Disney fanatics... LOL.

HA. they probably track how many folks watch it and how many times and use it to increase their "not so great" box office numbers.
I agree with the OP. Though after watching Avatar 3D on the EVO 3D, everything else seems lacking. The Green Hornet was not filmed with a 3D camera like Avatar. It used post-processing to simulate the 3D effect and thus does not pop like a movie filmed with a 3D camera.
I wouldnt say EVERYTHING else was lacking Alice In Wonderland was pretty good in 3D on the EVO. And i found myself taken the phone form my daughter when Megamind was on too LOL
Just checked the 3D Games app.....which didn't show anything for me. oddly. But, I went to the actual wapshop.gameloft.com, and clicked "More Best Sellers" and there it was, Shadow Guardian, the Tomb Raider/Uncharted rip off. lol
So, who's buying it?

I bought this for my EVO 4G but the 2d version and never got to really start it since I sold my evo. I may take the plunge on this one. Gonna call gameloft to see if they can do anything fro me.

So far so good
Got it for free when Gameloft's Modern Combat 2 didn't support EVO 3D (spoke to Customer Support). Didn't realize it was new and all. I like the game, I just have to say that playing games with 3D enabled are a hit and miss since when you are moving the phone while playing you constantly lose that precious optimal viewing zone.
In the end, I just turned off the 3D effects. But it looks cool during the cut scenes since the subtitles and certain objects pop-out.
P.S. - judging by recent comments here, no one will reply to this

Thats like Asphalt 6 then. 3d is cool in the beginning but gameplay it makes everything jittery. I have to turn 3d off for a smooth game play.
I just bought Shadow Guardian 3D for me phone and I've sadly discovered it force closes at the beginning of the game, just as I start moving... I feel so disappointed right now, never had problems with any game before, especially bought ones, and I really wanted to play this game.
Did anyone else have had this problem? I'll mail Gameloft tomorrow and ask, but I trust XDA community more than a weak excuse which I'm rather expecting from them...
Some gameloft games are not compatible with ICS, known fact been discussed, sorry
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Flashallthetime, I knew that was a problem half a year ago, I was hoping they'd fix it by now or at least somebody found a way around it... Damn it, I really wanted to play that game, now I spent the money on it for nothing...
I really doubt at this point gameloft will send out a patch as the Evo 3D is not a priority for either HTC or gameloft, most 2d games do play, call of duty zombies works fantastic
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
I joined in the Sony chat today on facebook and they said for current UK users a website will be going live tomorrow where you can get 5 free games, 7 free movies and 6 months music unlimited free ( or something along those lines just in case I got something the wrong way round )
The website in question is www.sony.co.uk/unlimited/tablet
And for new buyers of the tablet they will get a leaflet with it explaining this as well, so they will get it as well
Cheers
Sony
and no they didn't answer my question about root
Thanks. It's working today. got an email for 5 games and 180 days music unlimited and 4 weeks of video unlimited for 5 movies
Does this work for US folk?
it seems this is only for those who bought theirs after the 21st November and for £50 less which is nice. The games are free on the store and so is the music trial but the films you seem to need a voucher for and it wont let you register a date prior to the 21st.
In registration i see only: Spain, Italy, UK, Germany.. what a shame

From the US sony store site, so hopefully this will apply to us too
doesnt work for me
Gutted the way they said on facebook if anybody had bought it before the price cuts they would be eligible, but I guess not
Bought mine in October and tried to change the purchase date but keeps saying invalid serial number, hoping from tomorrow it is open for us early adapters as well and its not a case of ha we have your money, now go away
Just emailed customer support to see what they say as it was implied it would be open to all people who had previously bought the tablet, will update if & when I get a reply or fingers crossed it is open for all of us tomorrow
It looks like it already is on tablet without having to register as free games appear in the play station store, was able to download a 180 day trial app for music unlimted but the video app says update required but cant get it to update... yet and destruction derby wont download... yet
in US got 5 free games
I opened the PS store today, and there was the magic word free beside five of the games available, so far ive downloaded cool borders and destru tion derby with no problems, the others were jet moto 1, hot shots golf2, and medievil, although I thought they were going to do it differently, it looks like im going to be able to download all five aat once, I dont know if everyones came with it, but mine also came out of the box with crash bandicoot, and pinball heros(great game).
I havent tried any of the movies or music downloads yet, I will update with any problems.
I purchased my tablet around oct. 20,2011, & although I thought I had registered when I got it, I hadnt until this week. I also havent checked to see if I actually recieved an email from them either, but im sure I did.

Have a look at the Psxperia project on xperia play forum. The format is the same for both devices, an apk and a data folder, but the native emulator on tablet and on 2.3.4 xperia tablet is blocking the format which worked on it before 2.3.4 firmware. Hope it helps.
