My wife is kinda mad... or confused... or just in "that time of month"... Im not really sure, but she says she cant see the 3D effect, and in the same time she cant look at the 3D effect for more than a second or two, because it hurts her eyes...?
Is there some people who is 3D "blind" for this effect that is on our phones?

Yep it's totally possible.
Wikipedia article on it or just search Stereoblind in Google.
yes, I have met quite a lot of them. Usually Samsung and Iphone users.
When I was 12 I went swimming in a lake near where I grew up. I did so with my eyes open and ended up getting an infection. It scarred my cornea just over my pupil, so I don't see so well out of my left eye. That impediment to my binocular vision makes it far more difficult to see 3d effects. It also killed my depth perception for a while (until i got used to it) so it killed my budding baseball career. Imagine watching a 12 year old kid in the outfield, running up for a grounder, planting his feet, putting his glove on the ground, and the ball stopping 5 feet in front of him. Or better yet, running up for the grounder and it flies right past him. - LOL
Ya know what? My I never thought I had any problem with my vision. My eyes just strained a lot but I could see. Got checked out by a specialist the family knows, turns out my eyes are just a hair facing away from each other (why the strain). got glasses to correct it over time.
Before this, 3D hurt my eyes really bad. After glasses, 3D is as natural as looking across the room. interesting how just being slightly off can make such a big difference.

Yep, I can't see the 3D effect on the phone at all, but then I'm stereoblind as well.
I've taken a few 3D pics of a chair just to see how it works and when I show other people, they all say "Wow!! That's really cool!" I however see each sub-picture sort of overlapped and offset from each other. Where it jumps out in 3D to others, all I see is a ghosted mess of 8 chair legs.
It's actually more common than you might think. All it takes is a slight misalignment of the eyes and you can't see 3D... at least the way most of us do. So someone like Tommy from the most recent season of Hell's Kitchen: probably no need for him to get an Evo 3D.

Came in here solely because of the interesting name..
I thought for a second y'all might be starting a 'club for the sightless' who were suckered into buying a 3D phone.
Anyway, I have terrible vision in BOTH eyes, so I wear contacts to correct, of course. However, if I lose a contact, or have to take one of them out for some reason, then bye-bye 3D effect, (and those "Magic Eye" pictures are absolutely impossible, even if I know what I'm looking for.)
Sounds possible, then, that someone who simply has a pronounced difference in vision quality between their two eyes "naturally" might have a problem 'seeing' the 3D effect?
Thx, all... Interesting posts.
I`ve meet two people that couldnt see the 3D effect (my wife - of course)
and some dude. Everybody else thinks the 3D is awesome (myself included! :-D )
But the weird part with my wife is that she cant see the 3D on my phone,
but there is no problem in the movies/theatre/big screen (with glasses), but yeah that is two different kind off 3D, but still... weird.
(and the samsung and iphone 3D blindness - LOL nice one! )
I have nystagmus (seach wikipedia since i cant post links) so i can't see 3d in more or less any form. I still got the evo 3d because it a good phone. It suck when people are like "you can't see that?!?!?!"
I read an article about the human eye and the 3D effect. It was mostly talking about the "headaches' people get from looking at 3D content. For the typical human, throughout the years, your eyes are trained to look at things exactly the way we see it. Shapes, angles different objects are embedded in are brains in 2D form. So now we get to looking at 3D content, which teaches are eyes to look at a picture (which are really two of the same images) and look at one image at a normal distance and the other image at a somewhat further distance, thus this being the reason we get that effect. Now none of use come out the wound looking at the world like this so when we are exposed to this type of effect normally it will cause headaches. The more 3D content you see, your eyes & brain recieves training on how to acknowledge this way of seeing certain things. That explains the reason you don't get headaches after a while, and how you can look at the 3D images without thinking about it. Oppose to seeing that sh!t, rubbing your eyes & popping a advil.
I hope I explained this as well as it was explained to me.

Oh and it does 3D just for giggles. With the devs here at xda this phone will by far exceed everyone's expectations .
BTW you don't I repeat don't have to use 3D its not a gimmick or the whole purpose just a simple feature way too many people are trying to say it is bad.

I been on my Instinct since 5 months ago since my Hero was destroyed :/. Anything is better than that so I wont be disappointed with the Evo 3D.
Awesome indeed!!!
I was fortunate enough to pick up an HTC seed unit last night and let tell you. THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!!!
Not even talking about the 3d... which upon first encounter was a bit tricky to get used to, but after shooting over 50 pictures/videos there's a science to getting it right.
The power of this phone lies in the dual core processor, the "super lcd" display, and updated software makes the phone run like a dream.
I was actually not very excited for this phone. I left android for WP7. (say what you may, but I use my phone a lot for work.) I can happily say the Evo 3d has brought me back into the fold...
But in short.. it's definately worth the wait!
What was your impression of the 2D pic quality (in relation to
4g?

Honestly, the 2D picture quality is comprable to the Evo. I had a buddy take a picture of the exact same thing side by side on his Evo 4G. The quality is identical... unless you go full zoom on both devices, in which case the 4G is a winner, but not by a huge margin.
My biggest problem with the camera is the dedicated camera button. It is auto-focuses on light pressure and snaps the picture on the full press. It may just be because I have an otterbox case on it, but I find myself pushing so hard that I make the picture out of focus. Not a major gripe, as I'm learning to have a bit more... "finese" with the camera button. Ironically, I find the dedicated camera button to be EXTREMELY handy aside from my lack of initial nimbleness with it. Here are a few random 2D pictures I took if anyone wants to compare for themselves... and yes, very random pictures, I'm at work and don't have a lot to photograph..
Old Navy sign is no zoom / full zoom from the exact same distance. No zoom picture of a dairy queen cup... yup... I know...

Ok I think I just went crazy or something. I had been messing around with my phone a bit, kinda just looking around the house in 3D for about 15 minutes or so. I put the phone up and went to my back yard when all of a sudden I noticed my whole yard was in 3D...LOL!!! I know it is real life 3D but I was in focus like I was looking at my phone.
It only lasted a minute or two but believe me it was there. Kinda strange and I did re-focus back to normal vision but it spooked me for a sec... I guess my question would be is this a good thing or bad thing. I mean it is giving the eyes some exercise but I think maybe it should be used in moderation? I know we are all different and my eyes are lets say really older than most but I was just curious if anybody else has had this happen. Kinda funny when it does...
ok first things first,, put the bong down, then go make a sandwich.
haha, j/k (or am I?)
I'll volunteer to be a test subject and take a tour of the house tomorrow watching my phones display. Will report back..
Ok that was about as funny as it gets...good one. For the record I was straight. At least I think I was because it kinda felt like a buzz...LOL!!!

I think that the way the parralax display works is like the old 3D pictures. You have to unfocus your eyes just enough to see the hidden image. Looking at it long enough make cause the eyes focus to stay that way temporarily. It is cool, and you have to focus closely to see the 3D well.
I HATE guitar hero, but I played it and after a while the walls move as well as anything you look at. I believe his eyes gave him that affect until they refocused.
Hi, my names Sean, and I've been drug free for over 5 years now and enjoying life. I'm so happy I was able to find the way to TRUE happiness. I want to thank you all for the support and I offer my support as well.
Hey Sean good to here from ya. Drug free here also and proud of it...Life is a good natural high for me now. I guess my eyes are kinda old and the transformation between the 3D and normal kinda took it's time getting there. I must admit I got spooked for a second...then hey this is cool...then hey it's gone...LOL!!!

It's the way your eyes are focusing. I get the effect too. Not noticeable unless I'm really concentrating on it.
I've noticed this effect after looking at a lot of 3d pictures while I was tired. It went away after I slept it off. I suspect the eyes either get tired of moving and sort of stick in their focus, or the tired mind can't bypass hard line recognition because after its been flooded with the sharp depth delineations from the phones 3d screen.
Geez I almost went 3d reading that...LOL!!! Pretty deep stuff.

This happened to me too! My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I know what the OP is saying. I think your brain just starts thinking about depth more than it normally does. It's like my 3D elevated my brain to another level...
Well i thought this phone was gonna be epic, which it really isnt that bad, just i feel as if htc really really skipped out on the quality of this phone, people taking phones back 3 or 4 times is just unacceptable, and all of these bugs in the software are ridiculous, from bad signal strength to wake locks, dead pixels and just careless quality issues like dust under the screen and in the cameras, just wish htc would of taken more time to get this one right since its such a fast and highly anticipated phone! My trust and reliability in htc has been lowered due to this product!

Congrats.....thanks for the unnecessary post. Take the phone back if you want.
Also, keep in mind that a lot of the people returning the phones are OCD about things typical people would never notice (most people here, including myself are).
The construction is great compared to any other phone. Compare it to the SGS2. Yes we have dead pixels, and etc. But the SGS2 has the same things, and even more (tinted screen, gps, massive over heating, etc).
All phones have problems. That is the result of an customizable, open system like android. Companies cannot catch everything in their testing. If you want a nearly (again, nearly, not perfect) phone upon release...then get an iphone and leave us be with our initially bug, but eventually awesome, killer phones we call androids.

I too was expecting to be blown away since I was coming from a samsung epic. After only a few days with my first HTC phone, I really don't know what the big deal is. Yeah ok the phone is 3d, but after a few pictures and video, I havnt used it at all. The phone is heavy like a brick compared to my epic. The screen doesn't have fighting chance against the epic, but it is sharper. I just have a feeling the galaxy s 2 will blow away this phone in every way.

First of all don't use the word "epic" when talking about an htc device. It's just not right!
Joking aside some people have bad luck with phones and I am sure there are bad batches of every device no matter who makes it. I hear people talking about dead pixels and bugs everytime a new device comes out. I have never had any major issues with any of my HTC devices I have ever owned. I love this thing more everyday I have it. Call me an htc fanboy if u will but there is a reason I always go with HTC.

Your view on the screen is exactly that, only your view. I personally, after comparing the evo3d to a friend's SGS2, prefer everything about the evo 3d. The screen resolution is awesome, and the colors are very accurate. I compared both phones to a color calibrated monitor. All three devices had the same picture. The evo3d looked just like the monitor....while the SGS2 look grossly oversaturated.
Here is a perfect example. I use my phone to view a lot of images taken with fluorescent microscopes. If I view the picture on my evo3d...it looks perfect. If we view it on my buddies SGS2...the picture is completely unreadable/you can't make an conclusion about your data.
In terms of the rest of the phone...I have posted this page before.

Maybe I seem like a fanboy. But I have used and researched both phones. They both are awesome! But I prefer the evo 3d.
Should have saved your .02 !!
Samsung FTW...... oh wait, what is today? HTC day? Ok sorry.... HTC FTW!!
It really depends on the flavor of the week. Im sticking with my 3D. Ive liked HTC products since they were known as UTStarcom (Apache days).
Hello,
I still think it is far to early in the game to really know any definitive answers about the true potential of the 3VO as the overwhelming majority of Software out there does not take advantage of the Dual Core's of the 3D.
In time, this phone will be fully Rooted and there will also be Software that takes greater advantage of the 3D's Processing Capabilities.
In the mean time, there is far more Memory on the 3D over the 4G, a higher resolution Screen, Sense 3.0 (I realize some do not care for Sense, but I do), and more.
I really think for whatever reason that after some Professional Reviews took a negative take on this Phone, many people have seen the worst in the Phone. All I can say is that if you are not happy, by all means Return it. I personally think it to be a mistake, but it is your money. And with Samsung, they are slow in Releasing Android OS Updates, so while the new Galaxy might be compelling, all is not perfect there.
Cheers,
JJ

Well I didnt what to get into details, cause I dont have my EVO long enough. But right out the box, I feel like the epic screen is much better. Also the EVO feels much heavier. I also didn't feel the difference between processors.
My lcd is tilted. I went in to exchange it and the new phone had a tilted lcd and a dead pixel. Obviously I kept the first one. I haven't had any software issues and this thing runs like a dream. It does suck that there are these hardware issues but it doesn't seen like there are more issues than with most phones that are released. My wife for instance is on her 5th epic 4G and I am taking it into Sprint tonight to have it looked at for another issue..

Seriously, you are in your 30 day window.....return the 3D and get your epic back....We don't care if you liked your epic screen better.....so take the 3D back and go away....why do people insist in stupid posts like this....I don't go into the epic forum and brag about how much better my phone is.....(maybe I should start) but I am not a troll.
Hopefully this will get you going
Wow, this guy was actually wrong on a lot of little issues.
"all this working on 1 core"
really?
"metal rocker buttons"
no, very clearly plastic.
"Sprint apps can be uninstalled"
Not REALLY.. uninstalling (without root) only hides the icon, the app is still there, and possibly running.
aside from that and his inability to not say "umm.." and toss the phone around like it was dead fish it wasn't bad.
And yeah, the battery door is kindof a huge pain in the ass. lol
I saw the review a few weeks ago no bad, he is kind of crazy with the hands but Chris chavez always being like that I been following for a year now since he used to post on Android and me

****IN major hater my screen is way better than my OG Evo and who the **** cares about viewing angles I look at the phone dead on.
Bang.... That's the sound of my shooter.
I had to stop looking about halfway in...I got dizzy with all the phone spinning and tapping.

yeah, never got that with a phone.
TV's totally understandable. Monitors, less important but still understandable (especially in portrait.)
but phones?. something you can move with your freaking hand?...
stupid reason to get your panties in a bunch.
Christ, Guy must be doped up on something because he is acting like a complete spaz. Handling the phones with no regard...flicking it, slapping and tossing it. I wonder if he drops his phone a bunch. And yeah screw viewing angles..dunno why that is part of the d*ck measuring contest.
Chris Chavez is, like, the chodiest (yeah, I did) person alive. Between his stupid hair and his terrible video cuts (which he tries to hide with his 'intentonal cuts') he is the last straw for Phandroid. I think this dude simply started out as a YouTube fanboy. If it is that easy to snag some bull**** job on a site, well, I should follow suit.
Dude is 'barely' relevant and so is the site. How much late **** are they gonna jump on? That task killer video two weeks ago? FFS. This is the most annoying Android Rep / hype of them all.
I, hereby, dub this joker; Chodey Chavez.
Dude needs to cut his hair. Yesterday. Last week.
Although .. he seems genuine ... but that only makes it worse. The most unsuspecting of chodes. EVAR.

I think crap about bloatware is overblown, no the sprint apps are not secretly running in the background wasting your battery. Seriously yes it should not be there, yes I would delete them the first chance I get, but I never think that they are wasting my battery in the background, they are never under running apps in the task manager, so no they are not secretly running, get over it.

welp, since we are in the mood to hate...I agree !
oh and 'Chodey Chavez' had me laughing
I was able to watch a minute and 36 seconds of that crap video before I stopped it. He comes across as a tweaker and I don't mean with his phone. Maybe he is ADD. I don't know or care LOL. I think a three year old could have dont a better job editing the vid.
uhg who decided this guy was good at reviews he needs to lay off the blow! or meth. and WHAT THE **** HIS VOICE CRACKLING? AND HE CANT TALK LOL ssssttuutter muuchh..5 minutes in still no info.... haha. being a retard and not able to take a battery cover off is so frustrating lol. he must be on vzw payrole and thunderbolt feels cheap and like a knock off.
can i sue for 20 minutes of my life wasted from this tweeky weird ****? he uses the 3d function a lot probally to film him and his bf ****ing lol
I have to say up until yesterday I never understood the whole "viewing angles" thing until I played wings of.steel which is controlled by tilting the screen..it was pretty hard to see at times..still love my EVO tho
Worst review I have ever seen... Not plastic...? LOL My 3 year old daughter knows it's made of plastic!
Haha, nah he's a good guy.
Why are you nerds full of hate? The review was alright... No need to get so anal about something as trivial as a cellphone review.

So I've been selling Evo3ds at my job now for awhile, and when someone asked me anything about the 3D I said it was a joke but the phone was worth it's weight in gold from the hardware inside. Then last week I downloaded this youtube video in 720p and watched it on my phone. Normally I don't post and leach all day but if anyone wants to see what a video should look like on a 3d screen, give this one a shot.

3d pics look great. Sometimes u have to adjust them urself. I def dont think its a gimmick. U shouldve spent time learning first hand about 3d instead of saying it was worthless. It took me a week before my eyes got where it was easy to focus on the 3d pics. Now i find myself actually looking through my albums more.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Personally I think It's a gimmick. I have used it, I've taken 3D pictures, and I know how to view the pictures properly (before someone says I need to try it more). I just don't really see a need for it.

Just because u dont use something or like it, doesnt make it a gimmick. I dont use bluetooth and i dont consider it a gimmick. Would you consider siri a gimmick for iphone4s? Could consider it the same type useless technology. I dont understand why peoplw have a problem with extra services that they simply dont have to use.

I never said I had a problem with it. Just saying I don't use it. Bluetooth is standard on all phones now, so it can't be a gimmick, the 3D on the other hand is a gimmick because they tried to use it as a selling point where less than 10% of the users will use it. And yes I think siri is a gimmick along the same lines, less than 10% will actually use it.

Ha technology advances and has to start somewhere. Bluetooth wasnt standard on everyphone when it was invented. I bet only high dollar phones had it. Same as touch screen and HD, people are happy without them but most phones these days have both. So in a few years every phone might be 3d, so u will look dumb calling it a gimmick.

Doubt I'll look dumb. Here's the definition of gimmick, as you can clearly see by definition it IS a gimmick:
Code:
[B]gim·mick[/B][I] noun[/I] \ˈgi-mik\
a: an important feature that is not immediately apparent
b: an ingenious and usually new scheme or angle
c: a trick or device used to attract business or attention <a marketing gimmick>
a: hmm, important feature? I'd say not now, but it could be I'll give you that
b: it is an ingenious design sure
c: a trick used to attract attention, 100% exactly what it is at this point (but I'll give you that it may become standard on all phones at some point, but remember Bluetooth was a gimmick on the first phones that used it also.)
Well words can stray from their actual definition depending on their context. Not saying u meant it any different but most people (as i take it) could sub in the term "rip-off" for gimmick in their sentences. Which i dont think is fair to say about this great phone when someone ask how good something is.

on vids and pics it's semi-useful (especially in places where depth is needed, like filming sports, action, taking pics of action, etc.) but i love it on games. you dont have to guess on how far away something is by its size. you actually can tell how far it is.

just to show one can never trust a mobile phone salesman.
I would much rather have this phone smaller and lighter than have the 3d...

It's kind of a gimmick.. and I'm sure it hurt sales as people thought that everything on the phone was in 3D.
Personally I think it's nice for movies and gimmicky for your own content. But I bought the phone because of its specs anyway, so if I lost the 3D option I'd be ok.
It should have been marketed as an added feature but once it got incorporated into the official title of phone it became the main attraction (gimmicky). Doesn't mean it isn't a good phone but it put many off before it was even released. It should have been a "featured player" instead of a "reoccurring cast member".
I rock 3d pics often, why not, might as well...
A good way to show off your phone..
Even if lacking 3d the phones specs are beast,
Could of been designed a lil better in the asthetic department, the camera button poking out, the camera on the back is asking to be broken or scratched up, it sticks out decently far. I rock a otterbox defender tho so these problems are "covered up" literally...

When I bought my EVO 3D it was the best phone available at the time and the 3D functionality was just a bonus. I would not have bought it just for 3D.

Yeah, I have one friend who's presently phone shopping who won't consider the Evo3D because of the 3D feature. Basically she thinks it's goofy, just kind of rolled her eyes when the guy at the store described it. I told her everything else about the phone is awesome, but she couldn't get past the marketing, which focuses pretty much entirely on the 3D.
