[Q] evo3d vs rezound screen in sunlight (has anyone compared the two?) - HTC Rezound

Can anyone comment on first hand usage how th EVO3d screen compares to the reszound in bright light ?
[I've seen the evo3d but have not been able to look at the rezound outside.]

I can't compare the 2 being that I don't have an 3vo, but, this phone is bright as **** outside, even dimmed.

dood ive had the EVO 3D since launch and I just noticed yesterday that your can most definately see the screen in straight up sunlight with the Rezound...with the EVO 3D you cant see **** in sunlight. I was amazed on how well I could see in direct sunlight with the Rezound...was loving it LOL

I came from the droid Inc. You could not see the screen in sun light. The Rizound you can see perfectly in sunlight!

THanks. I've seen the evo-3d in indirect light and it was completely blank
The problem is right now is winter so the light is not nearly as bright as summer and I spend a ton of time outside (also having problem finding a sales dood who will go outside with the phone). I've been debating for the past two weeks between rezound and razr; I really like the sense browser...

This thing is great in sunlight man. I am sure at least 1 rep in your store has the phone itself, ask them to take it outside.

I made a bloody appointment to do just that; even left work a bit early. When I got to the store the jerk bailed on me (he was the only one with the phone).

Question about the Screen

I went into my Corporate Sprint store today and got to see the Evo 3D...I was wondering why the whites look so yellow-ish or an off white kind of look to it..Is this a result of qHD? Of course the Sprint employee couldn't answer any of my questions because he wasn't even suppose to let me see the phone supposedly.But we all know he couldn't answer me because he just did't know.
So yeah,screen is a little dingy on the whites and I noticed it right away..Maybe this was just the store model? And if not is this something that could be corrected with root later?
I hope that's not the case. I have a launch day EvO HW0002 and when I saw the HW0003's, I was like What did they do? Right away I saw the screen looked washed out and whites had a yellowish tint. Then they came out with the HW0004's and it looked like mine again. You can youtube the videos to see people showing the differences. After the reviews and whatnot, I just keep saying to myself...You have 30 days
I noticed a few reviews also commented on the poor viewing angles. The screen is probably going to make it or break it for me. It will be hard letting go of my Epic with Super AMOELD, but I will definitely have to see the Evo 3D in person before I buy it.
Everything on the screen looked super crisp and sharp.I didn't hold it in any peculiar way to see the viewing angels.But the white on the clock just didn't look right.I've been a sense user since 09 and i'm just use to they way it looks and I could immediately tell there was something different..Oh well,like the guy above said I got 30 days.Either I get use to it or it goes back if it bothers me that much.

I recently switched to sprint and got 3 EVO 4Gs. I notice even all 3 of them are 0004, one of them is more yellowish (which i perfer) than the other 2.

Screen

Is it me or is the screens whites a bit more yellowish?
Comparing it to my EVO it looks that way.

This was also a complaint in some reviews. It's speculated that it may have something to do with the layer of film on the screen for 3d purposes. Glad I didn't pre order, I know a lot of people have the phone already and I don't see the OMFGTHISFONROXBBQ posts yet.

I don't think it may just be the 3D, my sisters shift is the same way. I think its because I got the novatec panel on my EVO. I got no complaints cause the phone looks gorgeous

I have all my iPhone buddies drooling over this screen.
I think it really depends on what panel your EVO had. I know that the Novatec was much whiter than the Epson. I would say this was more like the Novatec.

The 3D is SENSATIONAL! I made a video of my friend's salt water fish tank last night, and it looks BAD ASS. Everyone I've showed it to has had to pick up their jaws from off of the floor. I haven't tested the video's on my 3DTV yet because I don't have the MHL adapter, but today when I get home, I'm going to try playing the video via DLNA on the PS3 and see if I can get it to work.
The phone is blazing fast and seamless. Remember the OG Evo how it would slow down for a 5-10 seconds while an app was installing? Well, that is gone. GPU handles games that used to lag perfectly (i.e. Gun Bros). Sense 3.0 rules.
This phone is as fresh as the Evo was a year ago, and it makes the Evo feel like a dinosaur in comparison.

I can't say I've experienced that. It takes 2-3 seconds to switch from one mode to the other, but I haven't had anything get stuck or lag on this phone at all. My only complaint (if you wanna call it that) is that the high resolution makes the keyboard a little smaller and my fat clumsy fingers can't type as well as I did on the Evo, but I'll get used to it.

Headaches or eye strain from 3D?

I watched the entire Green Hornet movie in 3D last night and I experienced no eye strain or headaches at all. I never took a break to even pause it: just watched it all the way through. In fact, about 10 minutes into the movie my eyes adjusted to the whole 3D thing and it seemed perfectly natural to watch it that way: not a gimmick. I really enjoyed it and the 3D effect is nearly as good as the plasma/LCD 3D TV's with the active shutter glasses.
Only thing that felt a little strain is my neck because I watched the whole thing while lying on my stomach in the bed, pillow under my chin, with the phone propped up against the headboard. Man I wish they hadn't deleted the kickstand on this phone because I really like the gel case I'm using: don't want to buy a case with a kickstand.
So I'm just curious, am I the only one who has no problem with the 3D (no eye strain)? Are others having problems?
Mike
Just curious...how far away from your face did you prop your 3vo? Do you wear glasses? If so, are you nearsighted, farsighted and do your glasses correct for astigmatism?
Thanks.
i get a headache almost instantly from the 3D >< :-(

I guess 3d isn't for some people. I sat at the sprint store and watched a bunch of youtube videos and had no problems with headaches or eye strain.
I have a Sony Bravia 55” 3DTV with about 10 movies on Blu Ray in 3D (one of them being The Green Hornet) and have never had any problems having my eyes adjust or with headaches from the 3D. In fact I don’t think I’ve even had a headache period in the past 10 years or so, if not longer. I also have an HP Envy 3D Laptop. I’m extremely nearsighted and need to wear prescription glasses 24/7. I don’t have any problems with the Evo 3D either. I love 3D technology, it’s definitely no gimmick.
No headaches for me with 3D. I watched Green Hornet without issues.

But I'm guessing the TV and laptop still require glasses right? If so that would be why, it doesn't put the same strain on your eyes as no glasses 3d.

25 with 20/20 doubt thats the issue.
It's not how well you perceive objects at a given distance. So if you're 20/20 20/15, that's not the issue. The issue stems from one eye being more dominant than the other. There are several test online that will help you determine where the issue is.
Nah except for that ridiculous Spiderman game I've been good to go. I've been watching downloaded movies all day without a problem. My gf can't look at the screen for more than 30 seconds without looking like she has an aneurism though so I guess it's kind of subjective. Hopefully you'll get used to it soon enough

The phone was about 10-12 inches from my face. I don't wear glasses but I do have slight astigmatism that I have glasses for but I rarely wear them. The glasses make things sharper but they're just not worth wearing as the difference isn't huge. I'm 44 (thanks to those of you who thought I was "young").
Mike
Well I'm probably older than most in here and I am good to go now. I must admit the first night with the phone watching some of those YouTube vids my eyes were goofy as hell! Yesterday was better. Today...well, it just looks natural. I don't think it's an age thing, lol. Definitely needs a kick-stand, they screwed the pooch on that one!

Nearsighted with astigmatism and wear contacts. No issues here.
For me, it seems that the switching between 2D and 3D is what gives me a headache. Watching the Green Hornet 3D doesn't give me any eye strains. But when I go through the included 3D pictures, I get strains from the constant switching between 2D and 3D.
I can't see it
Don't own the Evo yet, but after viewing a friend's unit I discovered that I ~can't~ see any 3d effect at all, either in the Green Hornet, or in photo view/camera mode (and yes it was in 3d). All I can see is two separate images that flip back and forth like a hologram when I tilt the phone. Tried every distance between 8" and full arm's length (I'm far-sighted so 8" i can't focus).. I don't know whether my eyes are the wrong distance apart or if its because I'm severely right-eye dominant... Sad day because I was planning to buy this phone, but the screen drives me totally nutz in 3d and gives me a headache in normal/2d mode too.

LOL some folks that have a eye problem such as they are far sited or have to use one eye to read and the other to drive don't know what the condition is called can't ever see 3D no depth perception.
No issues here, nearsighted and wear contacts. I've always loved those images that you have to really look at to see though, so maybe that makes a difference

HTC is very annoying. If its not light leakage its dead pixels.

I personally hate samsung but you never hear anyone complaining about build quality; they usually complain about touch wiz or lack of dev support. I'm on my 2nd 3D, 1st one had super light leakage, and extremely loose 2D slider. 2nd one now has 2D slider problem and now i got a noticeable dead pixel when screen is black. I shouldn't have to trade 3 times to get a perfect phone. I think its about time to find another hardware manufacturer to worship.....p.s I went through this same process with my og evo smh.

Being on my 4th, I feel ya! Dead pixel, paint missing by the menu button, yellowish tint to the screen w/bad light bleed from the bottom. My 4th is actually pretty good. No dead pixels or missing paint. The screen is 100x's better, the colors pop and can appreciate the SLCD now. Only very minor light bleed across the bottom and only visible in the dark. Nothing like my 3rd, it was out of control lol
If we could get an app like screen filter which can turn the capacitive buttons off/on...someone should make an app that has a slider to dim them.
First one received from tela sales Kentucky warehouse had light leakage galore on bottom & creeping up both sides at soft key area ugly stuff.
I took to corp store swapped out for new no leakage present.
2d-3d key is tiny loos of course no big deal.
That should be easy jerry-rig fix padding out key with scotch tape, I'm just waiting for good tear down video before doing so.

Agree! They really need better quality control. At my local RS I opened 5 boxes and every phones had flaws, including, smashed power buttton, nick on black paint, seams on edges not flush. This is ridiculous! I have a good unit, but dreading the day something happens, like light leakage, for example. GET IT TOGETHER HTC!!!!
I have horrible light leak around the bottom inch of the phone all around the cap. Buttons..
Radio shack said I can't return it "because I'm past my 30 days"
I bought a og EVO to tide me over till the EVO 3d came out... Back on June 1st and since I exchanged my og EVO for the new evo3d they consider it being past my 30 days?
I spoke to the manager and told her that it should be based on the date of new purchase not based off original purchase...

T-Mobile guys...have a question

so, im on my second amaze (first one had a dead pixel) and i need to take this one back now too because i have these 3 bright spots under the cap keys where light is leaking thru that is pretty bad and that i never noticed on their display model or the first one i owned.
since ive only been with tmo about 2-3 weeks, im not really sure how often i can return a phone for being defective (still within remorse period). do they flag your account for too many returns? is there a limit to the amount of phones they will exchange? should i try and return this phone to a different store?
i feel like for the money i paid for this phone it should be flawless and at the same time its both a burden on me and tmo that i keep having to return this phone. thoughts? experiences? thanks
the three bright spot are on all models, its a known issue with the phone, they may take it back, but you will get an other one with the same issues.

i dont think it matters how many you physically return but if your requesting them from insurance they do because a lot of people scam insurance and just sell their devices.
Although, the capacitive lights at the bottom do leak, a lot. this is a well known issue and its highly likely that the next Amaze you get will have the same issue. If I were you, I'd at least root, and download adjbrightness from the market and just turn em off. It saved me some battery and got rid of all the light leakage hope I helped bro
if it is a deal breaker for ya, just get the GSII, its a good one too

Light bleed is a known issue. There is a modification you can make to almost completely fix. I say it doesn't affect normal usage so I left it alone. Strongly recommend you stick with amaze. It's a great device.

I never noticed these on my phone until last night when I was watching a show on my phone. Kind of annoying, and I'm hoping they don't get worse. I don't know how they would, but I've had the phone for two months and never noticed it till now.
For sure exchange though, I doubt they flag your account for having phone hardware issues. I only had 4 mytouch4gs in a year, but I was annoyed enough to get a free amaze out of it. They're good with exchanges. Wish they didn't have to be and the phones worked, but oh well.

It really sucks having blue lines in the LCD. Since I am not far from Chicago, the cold weather here I believe is triggering the issue. I am going to keep exchanging until HTC gets it right and T-Mobile sends me a good phone lol.
Exchange it man! Don't be shy. You deserve what you pay for and tmo needs to be held responsible for providing that. Guarantees are only useful if you use them! If they overcharged you for some service would you just pay it because you don't want to burden them? I do agree it can be a pain to bring it in, I would go so far as to request a discount on your service. Never forget, they are there to serve you!
P.S. I also never lock myself into contracts, just so I have the option to quit. You would be amazed how much better service you get from the "customer retention center."

As far as I know, most if not all amazes have a dead pixel, capacitive buttons lights leak into the screen and the blue lines are normal no need to replace your phone, besides, its not a big issue.

LMAO. thats being assertive isnt it? good to know, we pay far too much money for phones that should be flawless right out of the box. guess ill be exchanging this for another, and another until they get it right!
guys, my problem is not with the light bleed onto the screen, its with the 3 bright ass spots under my cap buttons. ill have to grab a picture tonight so you can see what i mean. they are literally as bright as the cap buttons themselves. its pretty bad...

Under the cap buttons? Really? I guess I will have to see the picture when u post it. The known light bleed issue is 3 white spots above the cap buttons... More so in between each cap button... But on the screen. It's noticeable when the screen has a black background. If that's not what you're talking about, then u may have a faulty device

yup, its strange for sure. ive been spending so much time trying to restore my wifes kindle fire that i havent had much time for anything else. ill try and get a pic up in a few!
I don't have any blue lines or dead pixels on my Amaze, but so have the very common light bleed onto a dark screen, which was annoying.
I downloaded an app called screen filter off the market and it shuts the lights off on the soft keys. It was god sent! Didn't have to root my device either.
Not sure what you are talking about. Honestly don't want to as it may bother me if I see it on mine because of your picture, lol!
Loving this phone! Granted I just got it.

ok guys, just got back exchanging my 2nd device at a different store and wait for it...wait for it...this thing is flawless (so far)!!!! very, very minimal light bleed and absolutely zero light coming from in between the cap buttons...
the store i bought the first 2 units from admitted to me that they sold very few amazes so i figured i must have been getting old stock. well it turns out, the other store i went to today had gotten burglarized a few weeks ago and had all completely new inventory. looks like the newer units have maybe addressed our concerns? not sure, but at this point im very happy!!
now that i got a good unit, you guys are stuck with me here for awhile! LOL
That's cool man. Glad to hear you got a good Amaze.
It was funny after reading this thread, I kept looking for those spots you were talking about, which I do get, but bleeds into the screen and that app took care of that problem. But having it outside in the sun, I noticed those blue lines. It is faint, but there. Looks like a grid. I assume these are on all of the devices? I can't see it much unless outside and the sun beating on it at a certain angle.
Kind of how my Kindle Fire is as well.
