I am interested to hear what u guys are interested in looking, playing or watching in 3d once you get the evo 3d.
Sent from my htc evo using XDA App
obvious answer: porn
but i want to play some 3d games and watch any kind of 3d movie..prefer action etc, i don't even know what movies are in 3d, idc though.
honestly the 3D aspect of the phone for me is just novelty till the 3D takes off fully, for now the main reason im getting the EVO 3D is because of the Specs this beast is carrying. 3d is just a plus, to show off for me.
Honestly, I'm not very interested in the 3D. I can imagine if/once I bought EVO 3D, I would be spending most of the time wondering how much lighter/thinner it would be without the 3D inside.
I understand and agree the 3d aspect is just a novelty. but as we all know we would all be liars if we claimed we would not once use the 3d aspect of this device. My question was more geared towards what are u interested in seeing when you use it even if ur just using it to test it out. Any one buying this just for the 3d does not need this device they need a view master

After playing with a 3DS I'm very excited for the Evo 3D. Looking forward to augmented reality apps and games. Even subtle 3D upgrades to apps like Google maps, etc I think will add a lot to the mobile experience.
Maybe I think I can only use the 3D camera to take some photo or video.
I've been playing NOVA on the optimus 3D and have to say it adds quite a bit to the experience. Plus youtube 3D is pretty entertaining when your bored =D
I'd probably just use it to watch movies etc. But from everything I've seen so far, it doesn't look like it's going to blow the EVO away. Lots of small things lost. (hdmi, charger on the side, etc)
Hdmi is not lost. It is integrated into the charger port. In fact hdmi is actually upgraded to full hdmi mirroring. That means anything on ur screen will be mirrored onto the tv screen.

totally right.
charger on the side is def not worth the upgrade from 1x 1ghz to 2x1.2ghz.
=P and like above poster said, HDMI is done through the USB port now.
although i had the Bold 9650 and the charger port was literally on the side next to the enter/backspace key...you had to hold the phone WAY awkward to type with it...when on every other Bold phone they had it on the bottom i'm p.sure.
If the charging port is HIGH enough to allow portrait typing still, it will be fine, but if its down low next to where the keyboard is, it will be a nuisance, one i could deal with for the amount of hardware upgrade this phoen is.
I wanna know whether we can browse the interface [htc 3.0] in 3D too?? like LG OPTIMUS 3d?

No, only select apps are in 3D (camera, gallery, etc.)
Will the 3d screen only be used for movies and pictures or can it also be used in the launcher? A real 3d HTC sense launcher I mean. Or will the launcher just look like normal phones?
currently launcher is set to be 2D. only 3D right now are movies, Pictures, and upcoming games, and apps I believe. outside of that in 2D you have one kick arse phone.
That's a pity then.
I was hoping once developers start making ROM's they can develop 3D launchers or 3D keyboards, but now thanks to HTC that will never be possible.

what? your dead wrong on that front. Since when does the bootloader have anything to do with installing apps such as launchers and keyboards? Moreover HTC is responsible for releasing the sdk that makes such apps possible

If they can't rip the api's and all the proprietary 3d stuff it would be a helluva lot more difficult to do. Specially if the app needs something locked down by the bootloader.

Anyone know if the EVO 3D screen hardware is different from a regular, (non-3D) qHD S-LCD?

Lol yes it has a parralex barrier. Basically the screen is a bunch of vertical lines where one half is seen by each eye creating the illusion of depth.
How could the screen not be different and be 3d.

I will be interested to see what happens with the 3D. Right now I am sure it is more gimmicky and will lose it's luster but I do think it can bring some creative things down the road. Like a 3D launcher or 3D gmail experience or who knows what else. I don't think 3D is going to go away anytime real soon and would think HTC will try and get a good amount of dev support for it.

I think if other companies start to release 3d phone's it might stick around for a little bit but if we do not see other 3d phones come out in the near future, I am thinking it will just die a quick death.
Although, if the iPhone 5 goes 3d then you can be assured it will be sticking around regardless of what other Android devices do. lol

LG has also a 3d phone released soon.
Think about it. If the phone was completely 3D, the battery would blow more than you think. I think having select apps that have dedicated 3D capability it better.

That is true, but if you can only use 3d for movies and pictures it's worthless on a phone. That is why there are 3d tv's.

Okay I see what your saying. But gaming, picture, videos, movie and future dedicated apps will most likely suit the buyers.

The new google maps version would be pretty sweet in 3D. Imagine if the tilting of the plane had an actual 3D effect. Or the pop-up buildings being in 3D.

The apps is the most intriguing but I will say that if you had told me that live wallpapers wouldn't wear a battery out a year ago, I wouldn't have believed you. So i think there is a possibility that you could make a 3D launcher with minimal effect on the battery.

I don't see why 3D output would be that much more costly battery wise than 2D output. The content is still static. LCD pixels are either on or off. The parallax barrier pixels will be on, which is where all of the excess drain would come from. But it's hard to theorize how much extra drain that would cause. But it's not like you're playing a video or something the whole time.
And someone earlier asked if the 3D qHD screen would be the same as a 2D qHD screen. My understanding is that the qHD LCD layer of the screen would be identical; it just has the parallax barrier layer as well. But when that's off, it should be just a typical qHD LCD screen for all intents and purposes.

Thanks for your response. I had the same question about the E3D screen being the same as the sensation because I was concerned that the addition of the p. barrier on the 3D would compromise the optimal quality or clarity of the QHD screen. This is paramount to me since I could care less about 3D but am really excited about the QHD and the prospect of near Iphone4-like sharpness and clarity. I tend to used my phone for videos, ebooks, and web surfing and have been wishing for higher/better resolutin for years.
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.

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?
I know the 3d sdk is not out yet but I was curious if anyone farmilar with chainfire knows if it'd be possible to make a plugin for the EVO 3d to force everything to use the 3d display.

And then? Play a game thats not made for a 3d screen? That will look like crap.
If you have no input why post?
@OP I'd imagine it is possible actually, similar to graphics cards forcing anti aliasing and 3d in pc games.
That's something I'm definitely interested in seeing, but I wouldn't know how much work it would take to get it working

Thanks. Im glad for you that you write perfect english without error.
I'd like to say, in theory, with a game that is rendered in three dimensions, you could program it to just use two different camera angles... but um, it'd have to be programmed into each one i'd guess... so yeah, no, prolly never gonna work.

Correct. Now the trolls can go away
In theory the display driver could be coded to display any opengl app in 3d, without changing apps. The driver has the complete 3d model, and two perspectives could be rendered. This would produce an accurate 3d projection for any ogl/el game.
The only thing that would appear odd is if the dev wasn't careful with the z plane on some objects ( 2d overlays, etc). It would appear fine in 2d, but 3d they may be way close or far out.
The 3d games aren't even POP OUT 3D so I don't know what the other guys are talking about. If you even play the included 3d game you can easily tell it just adds depth....I see why there would be a difference in other games, there will just be aded depth.
I thought NVIDIA's 3d stuff was a similar hack which is why they had varying degrees of compatibility among various games

I doubt spiderman was completely rewritten in 3d format. I would imagine it was just converted. I know instant 2d to 3d on a capable television doesnt look bad at all. Even some 2d to 3d clips are pretty good if done right, so I dont see what all the negative fuss is about. I was disappointed before launch, when I realized this phone didnt do 2d to 3d.
Oh yeah, games like call of duty that switches to 3d, doesnt have a completely seperate game on the disc, and it looks good.
3D isn't 3D as it was 5 years ago.
even in the movie theaters 3D isn't like OMG **** IS COMING AT ME kind of deal.
it adds "depth" and somewhat "clarity"
i remember Terminator 3D , now that was 3D .
the EVO 3D has limitations , makes stuff minor 3D. requires a lot of resources for full 3D . nothing a phone can handle atm, not even computers can handle it. full popping out , i think that hand is gonna grab my face 3D .
would you sacrifice half your battery life permanently with no fixes for full 3D on all the time? how would your eyes feel? looking at it everyday all day? i'll super glue 3D glasses onto your head . everything will be 3D .
the 3D effect is simply an angle, and depth as people say. that is all. makes you see more than just a flat angle. you can see the sides of the flatness, making it 3D

Wow. That video was sweet. Damn thing kept getting closer and closer.
Great 3d video wow
YEAH I GOT A EVO 3D
Not long ago, I started a thread comparing 3D phones LG and HTC.
The thread was closed since few of us were getting really nasty. I still feel though that since I was not really getting irritated by the Hot comments, the THREAD SHOULD HAVE continued but was nevertheless closed.
Coming to the point, and just in continuation of that thread.......
LG recently released a 3D app and game converter for the 3D phone. This means you can play ordinary 2d games in 3d. This adds up to already available 3d conversion tool for videos and photos natively built. If some of you will remember me saying that HTC is a phone with 3D screen and camera but not a 3d phone, will definitely recall what I was talking about then and what I am talking about now.
Of course some of us will still argue that 3d conversion is not that great, but that's not what we are talking about. We are talking about functionality and flexibility when comparing.
If 3d conversion is really that bad, why is there a 5 star rating for te 3d video conversion tool threading this forum for HTC evo 3d.
Guys, the idea of this thread and last thread was only to highlight to HTC through unanimous pressure that the eve 3d also needs to have these apps and features. The hardware is certainly capable, but HTC has kinda given up on development which is way too bad. Lets all push HTC to UNLEASH THE TRUE Potential of evo 3d.
Your correct...not again..if you want it...do it yourself.
Idk man, but I wish we had the game converter ported to our phone. I downloaded the optimus 3d rom, and extracted the game converter, installed on my phone, it actually loaded, showed angry birds but when I pressed it, I got a force close. I'm sure I don't have all the right files for conversion but it was cool seeing it load. Makes me feel there is hope for this I our evo's

It's still early in development for the 3D. We should see alot of goodies down the road.

Yes early development for 3d but its coming on fast.
htc should have bundled some native apps and games with it. Nevertheless, updates are always coming and i do hope we can enjoy the benefits of glasses free 3d.
I mean to start with, why cant we have a 3d wallpaper if the phone is 3d.????
The Evo 3D really needs more support from HTC. A game converter would be great. I think the Evo 3D has superior harware as the screen can also display 3D in portrait mode (even though the viewing angles in portrait mode for 3D are very poor), and a higher screen resolution. If only the software highlighted the capabilities as much as it does on the Optimus 3D. HTC made the 3D look like a gimmick, even though it has great capability.
What makes you think its HTC job to supply you with 3D games and features? The evo was the first to have 3D, a little too early because they wanted to be the first. Like people are saying its in early development. There are plenty of 3D games out there. Also you really want to view you phone in 3D all the time? Some would like that, but I bet many more wouldnt. All over these forums you see people saying they dont use the 3D camera because its useless outside the phone. And almost every ROM deletes the 3D spiderman game. The same goes with google video chat when it came out. What good is it if no one has the same phone or capabilities. Give them time, you will find what you are looking for!
Well to start with, ALL and i mean ALL phone manufacturers are now extending their services to support and apps. You can even notice that the android market has a HTC icon and HTC recommends and HTC likes features.
App store is coming on as a big time differentiator when deciding for phones. I doubt HTC can avoid that for long. Also FYI i think LG was launched earlier that HTC, but that does not matter.
What we have in our hands is a 3d phone minus cool 3d features that should be available in a 3d phone as are there in LG. I bet once the samsung galaxy 3d is out, the bar will be raised.
3d technology is new. All Hardware manufacturers are at this time introducing software and modules to MAKE IT LIVE LONG and create usability for their hardware. Thats the game. HTC must create this usability.

It was a pretty crappy game. And only a demo at that.
From what I read, an upcoming version of HTC sense will incorporate 3D into the ui. The technology is advancing quickly in terms of hardware, we will continue to see better and better glasses free 3D technology, but the software is advancing a little slower.

I doubt they will do that until there is technology advanced enough to work at all angles, not mess with your eyes, have HD 3D, etc.
Even then, the UI can get pretty annoying then so there would need to be an option.
Thats like saying it's a car manufacturers job to supply you with gas/oil

just because it can convert them doesn't make it the best if its not really that great after i go for functionality and quality so personally just because they have more 3d stuff doesn't make it the best 3d device it will honestly come down to personal preference. one big comparison is apple to android apple has alot of goodies with there product but in my personal opinion android blows it away. i know there are still many people who disagree with me and thats fine but to me having all the extra stuff is simple gimmicky and once again comes down to functionality and quality that is why i choose the products i do and thats why i prefer the evo 3d to the rest.
