Well I've been looking at the evo 3d for a while and I've just ordered one off Amazon UK to use on my three UK account.
It is due to arrive on Tuesday can't wait.
I have a couple of questions if you can help
The 3d cameras is it easy just to point and click or do you need to take it at a certain angle ?
If I want to use 3d films which I own which is the best way to convert for the ego ?
I use to have the sensation (I change my phones like my socks as I've not found the perfect phone yet but have high hopes about the 3d) the sensation had battery problems and awful lag has this been sorted with the 3d ? You tube videos show the evo being very smooth but is it ?
How good is the camera the s2 has a perfect camera but there are also loads of negatives
Lastly and this IM sure wont be clear cut will I regret moving from s2 to there evo 3d ?
Thanks in advance

3D is easy to use, must shoot landscape.
Handbrake works quite well for conversion, if you want to see a movie I did with handbrake, hit me up on IRC.
Most of the ROMs have been through several revisions, I would say lag and battery are not issues at this point.
Well no camera is perfect, there have been quite a few MODs done to the E3D camera by myself and several others. The front facing camera can do 2MP now.
And switching phones... Well if you don't like regular updates, Samsung is your best best...

superb thanks .. Never used irc how do I do that ? How do I hit you up ? Sorry for being thick would love to get an idea of 3d and would appreciate any help you can give.
I don't mind regular updated thats why I LIke htcthey are quick to sort problems out unlike Samsung and htc is ota unlike Samsung which users buggy kies ..
Am looking forward to the 3d as I'm a real technology geek plus beauty of Amazon if I don't like I can send it back cos I'm not selling my s2 till IM 1000% sure
Thanks in advance

I had Samesung S2 as well but had to return it to CPW as it has blue/yellow tint on the screen and red spot when taking pictures.
As for E3D's 3D camera you just point and shoot and prepare to be amazed. 2D is ok as long as you don't use the auto setting.
I use 4videosoft blueray ripper to convert 3d films. It is easy to use.
Never had a sensation so don#t know about its performance. On E3D everything is working as it should be- Fast and furious.
Be warned, there isn't a lot of preloaded 3D contents on UK's E3D. Only few pictures and that's it. No movie, no video clips, no games, no nothing. But there are tones of 3D stuff on youtube - just search yt3d. Or just go out and start shooting yourself. I still can't believe how good the 3D photos look on the phone( not too brilliant on big screen TV tho as it is only 2megapixel). 3D gaming is fun also.

I use my phone pretty heavy and get a full day out of it. I use ViperRom but don't have it overclocked.
In the accessories forum there's some links to some decent aftermarket batteries to buy for backup.

That's correct. But you still have to take the battery cover out, it is a bit silly really. I miss how it was designed on the Windows mobile 6 where sd card is easily accessible by place it on the side of the phone.

No Green Hornet I am afraid, at least not on my phone. Battery consumption is really heavy on this phone, especially when taking 3D pictures roughly 800 -900mA because it uses both cameras. I usually only get 4-5 hours of heavy ussage. I can't not understand when people say their phone lase whole day when taking 3d photos videos and play games all the time. It is just not possible.
I went out having lunch with friends yesterday. Playing music 50 minutes , videos 5 mins and taking 25 3d photos, let m8s play with the phone for like 15 minutes. 5 hours later I have 7% battery left. If I play 3d games constantly, the battery will not last longer than 3 hours, about the same I got with Desire HD. In standby 8-15% drop over 6-8 hours period. There is not a lot of custom roms for GSM 3D to play about atm. Hopefully it will catches on.
As for 2d photo setting, sharpness + 1 helps a lot in general, under low light up the exposure rather than iso, other setting you just have to play it a bit and see what suit your taste the best. My conclusion about photo is doesn't matter how good a 2D photo is, it is never going to be as realistic as a 3D one.
Excellent thanks mine is out with royal mail this morning can't wait ... Tee the battery thats not bad for all that use s2 would last half that !

I'm blown away by 3D couple of times I played with the phone in sprint store. Before seeing 3D in action, I was leaning heavily towards SGS2. SGS2 is thinner, faster, has better camera, 1080p recording and I like Touchwiz better than sense.
But 3D is tilting my decision towards Evo 3D. 3D images are cool. More than cool, I believe it adds real value to an image. Looking at 2D photos, I can feel that I'm missing something.
That brings me to my real question -
As cool as 3D is, how practical is it? I mean, I can take 3D pictures and videos for my own sake. But one of the real pleasure of taking photos in a phone is to share in email/FB. But I can't send 3D images to any one unless they happen to own a Evo 3D as well. No one I know has 3D TV or monitors (neither do I). There are no 3D tablets/laptops (yet).
My concern is, if 3D is not practical and the only way to view the photos taken in the phone is in the phone itself, I think after couple of months, I'll stop using 3D altogether and start regretting that I got this phone instead of SGS2.
What is your opinion? Is 3D a real useful feature or is it a gimmick/fad that you think you'll stop using after the honeymoon period?
If you take it in 3d its not stuck in 3d..
EVO was first with front camera and 4G now everybody is doing it..
I expect the same to happen with 3d, the tech is getting better and once these old people that only remember there terrible 3d from the 70's go away then adoption will boom
But i digress

The evo 3d is stereoscopic, right? I think it's mostly a gimmick, and the situation you described in the op are probably correct. Plus, the 3d function on my 3ds has already gotten a bit old. It can give headaches too.

I had to share this one. Really shows how good this 3D can be.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StD8W9v5FaI&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I'd say honestly that the 3D may seem gimmicky but honestly it's a nice feature to have. I honestly hardly use my camera. I rarely did on my evo, I rarely did on my epic. I'll probably rarely use it on my 3vo but the parallax screen function of the phone makes watching videos fun. Knowing that I have a camera that does 3D might inspire me to put more use into it. The 3D world has just been blown open thanks to HTC and also thanks to youtube for making it so easy to share the content.
I think that while I may hardly use my camera I will definitely be quick to snap up anything that seems nice and serene just for the sake of being able to share the experience in a more vivid way.
I would say be a part of the rEVOlution and get yourself the 3vo.
Hopefully other makers will start incorporating the parallax technology even if they don't offer the 3d cameras because there is a lot to be seen here.
A front facing camera was a gimmick till everyone had one. Putting 3D capability in more hands will make it more of a necessity than a gimmick. How many people out there wish they could watch 3D content but cant afford an expensive 3DTV? I paid $61 for my phone. If the technology is readily available for anyone it will catch on and at $199 or less it doesnt get more readily available than that. So much content is going to be uploaded of the next few weeks and months from this particular handset it will blow your mind. IMHO, it catches on in a big way.
3D is mostly useful when photographing members of the Handsome Boy Modelling School.
3d is great.. And the 3VO is actually faster than the SGS2 most of the time.. Or the same speed in some cases
How useful is it? 100% pointless. Very few people (relatively speaking) that you will be able to share them with with out handing them your phone. That was fun at 1st by the way. already 2 days in I'm sick of letting other hold her.
With that being said once more people get on board with 3D and I really do believe the will for TV and phones. Then it will be "useful".
How cool is 3d? Phenomenal! havent even taken a 2D video, or picture yet.
Not a gimmick just a gigantic 3D Cherry on top of your evo sunday.

thats about the coolest thing i've seen, wow
Sure, I know exactly what you're saying. Once the novelty wears off you have to be left with a device that is practical or great for everyday stuff.
If you plan on rooting, you may want to take into account the amount and types of developers that are active for each device. That's what kept me interested in the Evo 4g for the past year.
Honestly, for me, I know the 3D novelty will wear off pretty quick. But I prefer sense so I stick with HTC.
3d pictures are ok. The picture needs some setting up to be really good, I think... But watch some 3d stereoscopic videos on youtube. There are some bad ones, but there are some where the effect is very impressive. There was a ocean circus one that was very cool (can't post a link...)
I love the 3D pictures. Much better than I expected.

Right now. It's absolutely for gimmicks and casual fun.
I'm very sure that as time progresses, it'll get much more better and infinitely more useful.
It's future proof.
Well some loves 3D (as me) and some don`t like 3D!
I have a 3D Projector and monitor. Can`t wait until there will be a GSM version for Europe!
I find the 3D very good. I am golf professional and today instead of using my normal camera to tap my lessons I used my camera so I could show them a full 3d playback of there swing. now only if it was about 3000 images a second I would be happy. That is what my High speed camera does.
Also I'm not for one to drop 800-4000 on a TV. So at $160 it is well worth it.
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!

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.

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

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
The atrix I bought with laptop dock is unlocked and running Alien, faux1.3, custom cemetery, and was planing on putting ubuntu for my webtop experience but I was chatting with an att rep.

Have Atrix now for about 3 Months. Longer I have it, the more I like it. Tried out Thrill @ AT&T a few times. About 3 hours total. Ran Quadrant & Smartbench on both, Thrill about 10% faster, prob because of Multi-Channel CPU & RAM. Fast & smooth. Also ran Linpack, 44MFLOPS on Atrix & 69MFLOPS on Thrill. Screen brightness & extreme angle visibility about the same. A little heavier & bigger, but not much. So if u want to try out 3D & have a little bigger screen, then Thrill may b for u. FreddieBoy
I think it really depends on what you want. If 3D does it for you, you will want the Thrill. Personally I wouldn't give up my Atrix unless something really special came along. I believe the Atrix is a more "mature" phone if you catch my drift, while most other phones I consider to be "toys". The Atrix isn't full of gimmicky sh*t, and the hardware hasn't really been tapped into yet to show it's full capabilities, so it will only get better.

Played with a thrill in a store for a while yesterday. Screens cool and 3D is neat but hurt the **** out of my eyes after a few minutes. 2D regular pics were kinda crappy and 3d stuff isn't viewable right off of phone. (3D pics show as 2 side by side images on a computer). Needless to say I bought an ATRIX instead of waiting till Sunday for a Thrill. Cool idea but it wasn't great. Nice gimmick more than anything.

I hav had the thrill for a week and im returning it for the atrix. The 3d is kool but not a selling point. it is fast with the dual channel but it tends to run out of memory pretty quick. I have noticed that the lg stock ui is worst then moto blur. When changing the ui to launcher pro did notice the phone was faster. ONce it is rooted and has cm7 running will be a great phone. Once I heard Lg will be releasing a better version at the bigging of the year decided i should go with the atrix. The battery life is really bad. If yuo use the 3d the battery just goes. i get about 3 to 4 hrs with nomal use and 3d. I would stick with the atrix personally but then again it is your hone so your decision. You still have days left so try it out for a week and see if it makes your day. Im getting 2800 on quadrant and 72 on linpack with the thrill

I'm pretty sure the thrill uses the same style 3D as the new Nintendo 3Ds. Case in point the 3Ds is having horrible sales ( that's why the price went from $250 to like $170 so fast) because it's making a lot of people nauseous (I played one at BB and it was not good lol)
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Are we talking about the phone that I have? Because the 3D the Thrill uses is true stereoscopic 3D at 1080p. Which is why you can shoot a video with the thing, DLNA it over to your *insert brand here* 3D TV and look like what those TVs are intended to display 3D in.
The 3Ds is having crappy sales because Nintendo was grasping at straws to try to keep people buying there crap. It is aweful 3D. At launch it already had a warning to parents to not let kids under five use it for the "potential" sight impairments as they got older. LOL! This is not the Thrill's kind of 3D. The 3Ds was a gimmick for that system.
Understand, I am not targeting anyone specifically with my post but with a phone like this you have to spend more than a few hours in a store with the device to get an idea what's up. I was a manager at a Best Buy location as the mobile manager and moved to manage home theatre.
What I am getting at is I was there long enough to see customers reactions to the first 3D TVs. Like you we kept hearing the whole 3D TV is a gimmick I will wait and see what happens. It is not new technology. It is older technology that had great potential that was waiting for the technology of other devices i.e. hardware, to catch up to its capabilities.
So we go from the big screen at the theatre, to the TV in your living room, to now being available on a cell phone. The Optimus 2x and the Thrill are smokin' fast phones the first to have stereoscopic 3D. The EVO 3D, well I was disappointed with that but its still a decent phone. The Thrill and the others coming will be glitchy and have a few downsides because they are the frontrunners. Honestly, I was not expecting LG to put a phone out like this and have a launch as smooth as its been. The phone is very fast that is not a real argument. The battery life does suck but after enough forum trolling and watching threads and posting etc. I am surprised that we got someone like DesignGears out the gate, reluctantly mind you, LOL but still going after it to start some real development on this device. I found after trying a few apps. and such that I had forgotten about the SuperPower app. made by some of the guys here at XDA. After jacking with how to set SuperPower up on the new beta version I think its like v8 or something; I waited until the battery was at less than 20%. Then did a full uninterrupted charge to 100%. Kicked off SuperPower, unplugged the beast to see what's up. Well that was 9 hours ago. I am sitting at 73% battery left. I have been doing 3D gaming, downloads from the market, music downloads, posts here, and some calls and a crap ton of texts. So I think we are good on the battery. Respectable anyway.
Not to be Captain Obvious but the phone is rooted too. All I am saying is this phone has a tremendous amount of untapped potential that is begging to be unleashed. There is nothing about this phone that says, "gimmick" to me. This phone says I have more power than is necessary in a cell phone but won't be unhappy if you really let me fly.
Get one and really dive into the thing for a week and if you still feel the same about then you can slap me twice and call me Sally. Then go straight to a Best Buy Mobile or where ever you got it and say it was installed with a flux capacitor from the factory by mistake and you want an Atrix instead. Sorry for the wall of text everyone but I don't usually post very often but I had to here. I would hate to see someone miss out on solid technology like the Thrill 4G.

Is this phone any good
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
Since you are asking in a forum for the phone you will get a biased answer of yes. I had the 4g, traded up for the 3D, broke my 3D, bought the photon 4g, 5 days later sold it via Ebay, bought parts to fix the 3D, and have loved using it ever since. There will be phones coming out that perform better, but the gig of ram and processor is capable of overclock, so it is real fast.
The 3D is a fun phone and I think you will enjoy it...It has its small issues at times but the phone is still very much enjoyable.

No. This phone sucks. I'm tired of it being one of the fastet phones out there. It needs to slow down and stay sub par. Its vibrant screen needs to be less crisp so that my eyes can start squinting more since it's getting lazy. It's 3D capable picture capture and video is worthless. I mean, who goes to the movies and watches that stuff, let alone buy a big screen tv that does it too. Its 1080p playing ability is below expectation. If it can't play 4k videos, why is it even sold! The battery life is horrendous. I turned it on fully charged and once it finished booting, it turned off saying low battery!! Why can't it be like my clam shell phone that doesn't have any features and can be off the charger for weeks?! And let's not mention the dev support. This phone has been out for such a short time, and they haven't even made it light-speed capable like some other phones. What da deuce!?
I'm just saying. I have a different phone and love to comment on other phone forums since I think I'm doing the people a service to let them know they got robbed. If you want the best, get a Samsung 4K IDB Extreme. That's were it's at.
PS. I love this phone. It's hardware capabilities will last me a lot longer than my awesome Hero did (RIP). You'll love this phone. It has served me well, and continues to surprise me.

No. This phone sucks. I'm tired of it being one of the fastet phones out there. It needs to slow down and stay sub par. Its vibrant screen needs to be less crisp so that my eyes can start squinting more since it's getting lazy. It's 3D capable picture capture and video is worthless. I mean, who goes to the movies and watches that stuff, let alone buy a big screen tv that does it too. Its 1080p playing ability is below expectation. If it can't play 4k videos, why is it even sold! The battery life is horrendous. I turned it on fully charged and once it finished booting, it turned off saying low battery!! Why can't it be like my clam shell phone that doesn't have any features and can be off the charger for weeks?! And let's not mention the dev support. This phone has been out for such a short time, and they haven't even made it light-speed capable like some other phones. What da deuce!?

That's the most confusing post I've ever read.
Hi. I plan on picking up the Bottom Mobile version next week. I've done a lot of reading about how the 3d was nothing but a gimmick and it was only cool for about 20 minutes.
What I'm wondering is if there's anyone that actually uses and enjoys the 3d feature a lot. If so, what are your reasons and what kind of cool things do you use it for? Games? Pictures? Movies?
Thanks!

All of the above. It is gimmicky somewhat, but I feel more immersed in the picture or movie with it.
Don't sell the 3d short though. Even if you think the 3d feature is not that great, the phone is a great phone specs-wise and is even better rooted.

Yeah what Coal 686 said, I wanted this phone for price/performance (got it for 50 bucks new from radioshack, it's dual core and has 1gb ram and very good GPU) so even without the 3D it's a great phone. that being said I love 3D and being able to take 3d pictures and watching 3d content without glasses is pretty awesome. Now if only there was more relevant 3D content for this phone...
as the above mentioned the phone is as good as it gets when it comes to value for money...here at Greece i bought it for 350$ and it kind of rocks everything else at this price since the next one with these specs (dual core,1gb ram,4.3"screen......) come at least 480$..so even if you don't like the 3d everything else is more than worth having...
