so for the passed couple week my evo been making phone calls by its self .it was funny seening it dial random number. But the other day i was at the movies and it called every one in my phone book while it was in sleep mode. I took it to sprint and told them this was happening and look at me crazy . so they did some test on it .and sure enough my screen was going out on the bottom . but they said they had to wait till they had a replacement phone for me . so i been with a half touch for a week now .any one else had this problem
you were probably hAxor3d. hide yo kids, hide yo wife, cause they rapin erry body
Your phone had a poltergeist. Take it to a priest. Not sprint. That's were you messed up
My friends wife has this same problem with her 3d. It can just be chilling in the table and it will turn on and start calling people.

That, and, 3D sense would be pointless because it wood look terrible (all pixely and stuff) and it would have to be in landscape view.
Well I was saying that more because his comment insinuated that none of the roms are any good... Meaning the ones that all the guys in the dev section have developed? Or what? Pretty dumb comment when A. He hasnt even used any of them and B. Its a slap in the face to the hours these guys spend building them. I have used/tested just about all of them, and my phone was a million times better than it was out of the box with every one of them. People need to think before they post.

I'm on my second 3d for this exact same reason. Often the phone would start moving\deleting apps off my home screen lol. It would also send a lot of gibberish text messages as I'd watch swiftkey just run away with words that I wasn't typing lol.
Sprint also had to order me a replacement but I got it in just 2 days

Im just tired of people making such a big deal about cm7. All cm7 is plain android. Yes it was nice and fast on the old evo. But now it time for something different. We have the tech to make sense 3d it would be so nice. cobraboy85 if you like something other than sense on the evo 3d good for you. maybe u should of got the nexus s 4g then.
I totally lucked out tonight. I HTC unlocked my 1st (you can see where this is going) w/synergy nightly decided to die. Charge port went out. So my week old brand new EVO has been replaced by a hboot 1.3 "recertified" phone. All I know is, the 3d has not been as cool as u thought. Need an opinion. Have a trade for sg2 lined up. Thoughts.

I am perplexed by this post.......
I either just got trolled (my guess),
or this is a kid. (my second guess).
A couple things, anyway, just for the S&G's.... :
First, THIS:
"All CM7 is (sic) plain Android."
Um, yeah, and that's all you should want it to be:
**Straight up-blazing-fast-small-rommed-custom-kerneled-Android, BUT, with a ****load of "extra customization options" that are very carefully painted on top.
(That sounds pretty much like a perfect situation to me.)
Then, THIS:
"We have the tech to make sense 3d, it would be so nice."
Oh, really... DO WE have the tech?
One question...
(and this is only if you assume that bloated memory-hog called Sense could actually be "ported into 3D")
Where in the world would you put it?
With the standard, (not-even-a-full-version) of a Stock HTC Evo3d Sense 3.0 Rom weighing in at like 700 Megs, how big do you think a fully 3-d, re-drawn, optimized version would come in at?
3 gigs? 4 gigs? 10?
You're on the wrong phone (or the wrong planet) if you wanna start discussing the development or even the possibility of a 3+Gigabyte Rom.
Sheesh.

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....
Hi i had a HTC HD2 wich was great and got old so i sold it and got an iphone 4 wich is good but not for my taste and i want to sell it and get the evo 3d once its released in GSM version,ok so my question is is the evo 3d that bad i mean read that it has a lot of problems (camera green tint,shuter lag,overheating and etc)so what do you think (please only evo 3d owners) is it worth geting it or shoud i get the galaxy s2?
IMHO its just people whining. The phone is great. And if you have problems with it just exchange/return it. There are some legit issues but most will be resolved in time. I'm having issues with the 3D feature on my phone but I'm not dumb enough to think that any issues with my particular handset makes this phone any less of a beast. On top of that between this forum and the sensation forums the devs will keep this phone relevant for a while.

I've had none of the problems you listed....no problems, period.
this is a kick arse phone.
The only time you get a green tint in cammera is when it auto focus in pitch black. its fast and cant wait for more updates. The bad things you hear are whinny people with too high of expectations from phones. and plus 3d movies are sick
The people are right, some of these problems do exist, but they are not widespread. It is mostly people whining though. Too many anal people. Nothing is never going to be perfect.... Ever! I suggest you get the phone, and return it under the 30 day warranty if you don't like it.
I also was really wondering if it was as bad as these people said...even when 4 of my friends have one and none of them said anything derogatory about the phone and playing with them...paid cash for it....and wondered about what I will get...nothing. Phone was excellent. Raised the volume with equalizer from market(free)..no dead pixels..faster then he'll and one hell of a screen. Once put in the temp root...used titanium for my backups and freeze bloat...it is easily the best phone I have ever owned. People just need to whine, release steam or just complains about even perfect things...heck...I best some of the people who complained here..given living in a perfect would still complain about something..that would be be complaining there was nothing to complain about...
What this forum is experiencing is a storm of anxious nerves end impatience as we wait for permanent root.
In other words...
Right now we are all waiting to get on a plane and go on vacation. However, the plane has been delayed and we are all going mad.
Unfortunately, in this mindset only the negative stuff surfaces.

lol nice s-off analogy
The only complaint about the 3D hardware wise is the power button. They went cheap on that and if you don't put the backing on correctly it will get stuck and not work. Other than that the phone is fine, the software is buggy but I also haven't accepted any of the updates and am actually running somewhat older firmware than what the phone came with.

Once this thing gets s-off I think development will explode. I'm sure we will see some form of CM9.
Rabble rabble rabble.
I hope so. I like sense but also love aosp. Like to switch between them. Also wouldn't mind running some miui once in a while either. I talked to Droid vicious and if this phone gets unlocked and I could get him a phone he said he would take a shot at porting miui like he did for the tbolt.
Dev's said ~2 months for CM9, so don't be upset if we don't get MIUI before then either.
I really doubt this phone will be locked down for long. HTC is pretty cool about the unlocked bootloaders. Unless I am now wrong?

Yeah hah I hit 30 Mbps DL today on a speed test, averaging 24-27 8). Upload 4-10 Mbps nerd boner, must change pants. Eventhough these are no where near "True 4G" speeds it's still better than 85% of the US. But we are WAY behind in terms of internet speeds/technology. I also think theres going to be more dev for this phone compared to the Inc 2. Seeing its a DC device w/ 4G and a HD screen, I'm sure a decent amount of people have purchased this phone.
Edit: Ijust messed my pants harder I got 41.4 Mbps just now D:. I am jelly of the guy that got 70 mbps though, hopefully 4G will pick up here.
The Amaze still doesn't have true S-Off. I am sure that we will get it.
I sure hope we get s off.I only have 14 days to return because I bought on launch day and I don't know what to do. This is the only phone I want from Verizon and I don't have another upgrade on any of my 5 lines for a year and I can't be stuck with a phone I can't have any fun with for that long. Wish we atleast knew the bootloader wasnt encrypted and that its going to be possible so we could atleast stop worrying. I know nobody's owes this phone anything but it would be nice to know for people in my situation.

you've been on this forum for 1 month and only have 7 post and you are already hating on someones post? This is in the Q&A so I had no problem with his question, and if you don't understand the title simple just don't click on it..
anyways-
Great phone.
Beautiful display
Very fast!
but if you want to wait for the extra 1gig of ram on the GSIII It would be understandable. But according to Engadget, they still like the EVOlte better because of the physical camera button and the kickstand. Also from what I've been reading the extra ram isn't really going to come into play to much.

with that said the phone is flat out beautiful. needs a few software updates to get the little kinks worked out but other than that its just amazing in my opinion.

well if you got money or you really wanna use an upgrade but i think its working good enough now to go ahead and buy one, i mean its not like its a custom ROM where there are still problems with things that just flat out dont work ya know. everything on mine works great. only complaint i have which idk if its suppose to be like this or not is it get kinda warm up around the camera while using it but other then that like i said it works great.

Definitely an upgrade from the OG Evo. I was hesitant at first, I didn't want to get the phone as soon as it comes out because usually the first few batches have kinks that need to be worked out. But I'm confident with this phone, all the technology in it has been around for some time, so its well put together. Still waiting to see how LTE performs, but that wont be for a while.
As for battery life, its awesome. I've actually gone almost two days (at least 40 hours) now without charging it, of course that was light to moderate usage (visiting some websites, a few calls and texts, taking pictures, navigating through menus, downloading some apps). The OG Evo could barely get a day out of it. Not having a removable battery might be a problem for some, but I'm sure HTC has safeguards in place in case the phone freezes. And remember, iPhones do not have a removable battery, and all those trendy apple fanboys are tickled pink to buy a new iphone every year.
I'd give the Evo LTE 10/10... In my opinion (or in my case, anyways) its the best phone ive ever had.

Just ask, tell them that your not happy with your phone and could they just replace it with the s3. The worse that can happen is they tell you no.

If you return the handset within 7 days, you can swap it out for another handset. Did you purchase insurance for the LTEVO? Also, call your local Sprint store, and ask what their policies are. HTH!

no, I was an evo banned-embargo waiting pre order. at the time, everyone was still saying how amazingly awesome the one-x line was and that the siii was gonna be "just an sii updated with the newest chips," and after playing with everyone's giii's, and the horrible software on this evo, I'm desperate to make the switch. I'm so sad too, as I've always been htc over Samsung's stuff, til this generation. that siii is a bad boy!
I know they will replace my evo for me, but I'd so rather find a way to switch instead of a new updated-and-boot-locked evo. I just don't want to go try, have them say no and note my account, then if I find a way to switch before my 2 years,I can't because my account already shows I was trying to switch before.
try craigslist... Im switching mine tomorrow for a gs3.. Some people still love the EvoLTE and hate the gs3.. So you might get lucky like I did..
If your are outside of the 14 days you have to return the device you cannot exchange it.

you obviously don't know how to program your phone. the evo lte is better hands down.

Agreed. That "bad boy" is not all that "bad" in my time playing with it. Unless you mean "bad" literally, and not "bad" as in "good", as I assumed you meant.

If I wanted to be honest, about the best you could do is call Sprint Retentions and say the phone hasnt lived up to expectations for you
I do somewhat know how to program it,a lot from what's on xda here... did the button re mapping, the wifi fix, rooted.. but what else do you guys mean to program it so I can use it more pleasantly? cm10 isn't done yet, at least not without working camera. the htc camera/imaging isn't extracted yet. I haven't found a fix for the non-working-right multitasking on this thing, and I've recently had the sense take forever to re start whenever I press home! if someone can point me to a complete aosp rom or fixes how to unleash the awesome sauce, PLEASE let me know! I see a lot coming on the future but when?
plus, like I said, still need the screen fixed... and I know I'll get one with the ota update and have to USSR the htc boot loader thing... I'd prefer not to.
jeez, yes I just read this post I typed,I know it sounds like a whiney sob rant, so let me stop here. just frustrated... I just WANT to love the evo like I did my og evo!
CM10 has a working camera. No, it isn't ImageSense, but neither was your OG EVO you're longing for. CM10 is incredible for its age, and rapidly improving. It has working LTE now! This thing is only missing a few small things, and is already daily driver material. Or...
Run Viper4G man, it is incredible. Smooth as CM10 with amazing tweaks. Or the SuperLTE base collaboration project thingy. Or MeanROM. Or Stock with Goodies. Overclocking using EvilZ or Enoch does wonders for smoothness. We have Google Now working on ICS. I mean really, what does the S3 have that beats out the aforementioned?

I will read up on those roms. I know the few I was aware of weren't done yet, I know cm has nightlies, but nothing has been released final without bugs yet. a lot are like that, with something not done yet.
its not that the siii has stuff I don't have on the evo, its that it just works smoothly and I haven't seen the little bugs. and the multi tasking actually seems to work well.
I got a nexus 7 a couple weeks ago, and I think it spoiled me. ever since I got it, the little issues I had with the evo have become almost unacceptable!!

Viper4G is done in my opinion. Everything works wonderfully for most users. They did some heavy testing before releasing to work out the kinks. MeanROM and many more are as stable as it gets. CM10 is the only one with real multi-tasking, but as I said, the thing really only lacks video at this point, which I can live with.
And come on... If you had a Nexus, this phone has many things that will spoil you if you go back to your Nexus. Screen resolution and clarity, screen size, camera quality, kickstand, etc.
Edit: You said Nexus 7...nevermind.

Currently the only phone on the replacement list is the EVO, so swapping in store is going to be unlikely. Retentions might be able to help you.
For further clarification after purchase one has 14 days to return a device or exchange it. Echangung a device carries a $35 restock unless the device is defective...not 7, not 30. 14 days.be Leary of stores willing to swap or return a device beyond that. ETFs will be charged/upgrades lost and the store will be unable to reverse

Hey rom that has really spoiled me lately is tranquility from bad seed, if that won't make you happy I'm afraid nothing will. As far as your screen goes insurance should take care of that.
