Hey
Don't suppose there is a way to remove that annoying spinny thing the Sense Launcher keeps doing? I've used my Sister's Sensation XE a fair bit and it is NOWHERE near as sensitive as it is on the EVO 3D. I've tried several different ROMs too (more or less every single one) and it is still ultra sensitive. There appears to be a severe problem with the EVO 3D in how easy it is to get that annoying carousel thing to start, and the Sensation is 1000x better in this regard. I have tried adjusting the way I scroll, but even still, it is annoyingly common and rather ridiculous and pointless. Now, after a couple months of this, I've finally had enough.
Is there any way to get rid of this nonsense or permanently disable it? Don't see any other purpose of it other than to annoy the hell out of everyone.
Thank you.

Meh, close enough. Short story, even shorter... You can't get rid of it.
Well I hope they get rid of it on the next update or, at least, lower the sensitivity significantly for our devices.

I don't mind an option to scroll through more than one screen with a quicker swipe, but the caroussel is a) too fast to stop it at the screen you want, b) takes you back to the exact same screen you initiated the caroussel on and c) it's way too sensitive.
Oh and the pinch or double home-button tap is a better option to select the screen you want w/o navigating through the others.
Long story short: I hope they improve it or make it at least optional.
On some custom Roms they have the option to disable it. But of course you have to be rooted. Or maybe try a launcher?

Hi!
I just got the HTC eVO 3D, and I'm still trying to get use to it. I got a little scared when I found out that I can't use the bottom left and bottom right icons on the touch screen (the icons 1 that is to the left of the phone button and the appearance 1 that is to the right of the phone button)
I have a feeling that there is something I'm missing!
Any help would be appreciated! I tried searching this but I had no luck!
Thank You!
Try re calibrating. Go settings display calibrate. Hope it works.

I can't recabrate, but I mean those parts work on the phone anywhere else...The All apps button and the personalize button don't work :S
try rebooting, formatting the phone, factory reset, and if all that fails, then you can try returning it.
*dont forget to back up your stuff before deleting everything lol.
and try downloading a different launcher like Launcher pro or ADW Launcher.

Yeah, so all the way at the bottom I can't touch anywhere...which is weird because I can still use phone call....keyboard etc which are all located in that area:S
Would flashing it to a different rom help?
This is very weird, I also recalibrated it, and its still doing that. The only thing that confuses me is the fact that I can fully use the bottom screen in apps, texting and surfing:S
I have no idea what this is...any other suggestions, I did factory restore is there a way to reflash the phone (compeltely reflashing it) would that matter?
Sorry about the questions!
It may well be worth flashing a different ROM and kernel make a nandroid and give it a go. Very odd tho!

I wish there was an explanation If a Custom kernel won't do anything I'll just live with it...I mean I can still get there using the menu button:S and the phone works fine other than that:S
Defective memory address I'm thinking
K - I've not found any other explanation but gradual disintegration of the internal flash memory. What kills me is that there isn't a ready repair.
Anyway, the symptoms tend to grow (I know) consistent with memory breakdown. Many functions work in landscape and not in portrait. Unfortunately some key functions have no other solution - mandating (for now) a phone replacement. That seems really stupid. In the new SSD world there are memory bridging utilities that work with specific drives. These test and re-do the logic map that sits between OS & apps and SSD. Like the old sector tests but not.:cyclops: Can't find such a thing for Android. Maybe because Android is CHAOS and IN HELL?

You can always try a different launcher.
I think that for some custom roms (specifically xboarder56's) you can disable the 3D effects by a Tweaks app that comes pre-installed in the rom.

This device is more complicated than that.
However once you unlock your bootloader it's fairly simple.
I know NRGs Energy ROM also has the tweaks to disable the carousel and 3D widgets if you want. I actually think it's XBoarder's tweaks app just borrowed.
Like binary said, it's rather simple to unlock and root, just very time consuming on this device compared to many others. Binary put together great step by step instructions.

Everyone has a different opinion on battery life. I typically get anywhere from 16 to 28 hours of battery life depending on amount of use. Got the same on stock ROM with brightness turned all the way down.
If you like Aosp go with galaxy nexus. There is no telling when we will get Aosp Ics. If you prefer Sense though definitely go with the amaze. Its a great phone hardware wise! The real big difference is the software and camera. If the camera is a big thing for you maybe the amaze is the way to go. Its a much better camera.
Great phone, there are only two issues that my phone has:
+The capacitive lights bleed onto the main screen.
+The flash for the camera bleeds into the lens.
Besides that everything works perfectly!
Concerning battery: for me if my phone stays on standby it will last for days, but if i use it heavily it'll give me a good day's use out of it.

as far as battery life goes, mine usually lasts a day (at least 20 hrs), so in that respect i think it's pretty good especially since my old mt4g struggled to get even that lol

I was also torn between these two phones myself. I decided to settle with the Amaze due to the mediocre camera on the galaxy nexus, and also the lack of expandable memory (they seriously seemed to have pulled an Apple with this). The nexus does have the 720p screen (pentile though), but the Amaze offers the perfect blend of screen size and resolution. It seems like we do have a few hardworking devs, so it’s a matter of time before more jump ship to Amaze with more ROMs available.
One of the reasons I went with the Amaze was due to the back of the phone. I actually think hardware wise it is one of the nicest phones out there.
Like others mentioned, battery life just depends how you use it. I get between 8-14 hours depending on my day. That is quite a few 20 minute or so phone calls, texting a good amount, web browsing, g-talk quite a bit and a little BT streaming of music and movies. Streaming of the music and movies will really suck it down quick though. I know someone else who has a black Amaze and.gets 5 hours, but he is always downloading movies and streaming music.
It really is a great phone and it does have a good camera, just have to have decent lighting for a good picture.
Might run into a couple small issues like light bleeding into the screen from the soft keys lighting up. There are a couple apps out there to shut them off. I believe the G-Nex suffers from the same exact thing. That and the flash bleeding when taking a pic. I personally have yet to have that happen though. Seems common enough though.
Good luck! There are some good peeps on this board and especially in the Amaze section.

There's a thread somewhere on here about it, but the gist of it is that the dual flash isn't confined/separated enough from the lens so sometimes you get some light bleed on the bottom (or however you hold your phone while taking a pic).
Supposedly you can fix it with a tiny piece of electrical tape, it basically mimics the effect of putting the dual flash in a housing unit (like the sensation has). I haven't noticed it enough yet to do that, but it does bug me that HTC produced this phone without fixing that...haha

this is just my 2 cents so far (quick review)
i like the phone. there are a few things about it that just seem funky though, and i know some of you are working on fixes.
i dislike:
-the on-screen menu button. should be re-mapped to the recent apps button, and long pressing the recent apps button should open up the app switcher. the app switcher itself is annoying. i don't like scrolling through cards. i miss a bunch of icons popping up and me picking which app i was using that way.

Well...... Welcome to the EVO 4g LTE
As for the stuff you dislike, you can flash a rom to get rid of the on screen menu button and make one of the capacitive buttons the menu button. I think you can get an app to make the multitasking look different... I remember something like this when using gingerbread.
I don't have any multitasking issued but I do have a bit of lag when switching tasks or just lag in general.... If that is what you meant.
pkmn rom is the heavy weight champ. unlike most, I like the multitasking button but i hated the three dot menu. The pkmn rom let's u remap buttons with long press options so I have menu set up for long press home and toggle off the three dot menu - it's perfect. You can also change the multitasking to the stock Android look. it's the perfect rom - yall should check it out
where can I find said ROM? I didn't see it in the dev section. I'll google it

picky are we? lol
here is the thing brother..... you gotta keep this in mind, when these devices are designed/programmed(but this has mostly to do with the programming aspect) the developers try to find a healthy balance between performance and battery efficiency. every now and then you may see it sputter ever so slightly, but it is intentionally designed that way. your other option is to have your GPU in overdrive every time you even breathe on your screen and suck your battery every time you send a text.
don't be so picky. you have a 400mHz GPU with multi-point rendering capability.... it's not the hardware brother....
Sense 4.0 lags sometimes, it sucks but I don't think we can totally eliminate it. I notice it on different occasions, usually when I wake the phone up or open the app drawer.

you are basing "better" on blips in the user interface? lol come on maannn
and for the record... every nexus i have picked up was laggy as balls.... maybe that has something to do with the fact that it has the same GPU in it as the OG nexus
just sayin
i mean if it is TERRIBLY BAD then i would say it is the rom you are on, some misc tweak, maybe your 2d forced rendering isn't checked under the settings, who knows.... but i have had mine for a week now and have maybe seen it sputter like once. and i use it pretty heavily.
The EVO is better for some coming off different phones with completely different hardware. The evo 4g vs LTE is a no brainer. LTE wins. The nexus on the otherhand has similar specs as the EVO. (Dual core, ics, screen resolution?) Anyways you get the point. Get a phone based on personal preference. Not because its "the next big thing" the nexus is a great phone for some. Definetly not for me. Hence the reason why I got the LTE rather than the ole so stunning S3 or nexus..
hardware is beyond than extraordinary. Root the beast and unleash its full potential (when the proper Roms are fully functional). Or wait out official HTC updates.. my 2 cents

Sense 4.0 lags sometimes, it sucks but I don't think we can totally eliminate it. I notice it on different occasions, usually when I wake the phone up or open the app drawer.

What's not better?
better screen
faster proc and gpu
better camera
and more, but that's it for now.
Maybe you're just having a buyer's remorse cause you didn't go with the GS3 and convincing yourself the Evo is not good enough.
Two top phones right now for sprint is Evo LTE and GS3, everything else falls short.
The only stuttering or lag I get is sometimes on my lockscreen. I am using the weather lockscreen and the weather will stutter it's way in instead of being fluid. I think it is just the phone coming out of sleep.

I know apex is nice, but it's not all that ground breaking. It's the same as LP and ADW for the most part.
I prefer sense widgets and they way they all tie together.. Like missed calls going directly to my task widget and such. It's a trade off I kmow

Lol thanks for all the feedback guys and for not completely criticizing me. I never wanted the S3 to begin with. But I will agree with some things that were said about sense being a little buggy and what not. And I didn't get this phone because it was the next big thing. I got it because my nexus would get really hot when I was using it and the battery life was bad.

I’ve actually noticed this as well and I agree that it’s a little annoying. When scrolling in pretty much any app, my finger will move about 0.2” before the screen reacts. Once it realizes that my finger is on there, there is no problem tracking.
I downloaded Touch Test from the market and confirmed that this is not a hardware issue. In that app, the moment my finger touches the display, it begins tracking. The lock ring also moves immediately on the lock screen, so it must be something in certain apps.
I have noticed lag in the browser when scrolling when I have flash enabled. I noticed on my Galaxy S2 that when I would scroll down a web page with flash content, any flash content that is active continues to to be active while scrolling and it was VERY smooth. On the EVO LTE however, anything active flash content will become inactive. The lag I have experienced seems to be when the Evo takes a split second to "pause" any active flash before it begins scrolling. The more flash on a page, the more lag I experience. I've simply turned off my flash player. It's annoying to have to do that, but I have come to terms with it.

A decent connection and Chrome (updated) work well with no lag (that I can see or tell).

I'm definitely kinda bummed out on the performance of this phone. it started off great, but lately its been quite bad. Lag when I unlock the phone... Lag when I open the messaging app... Lag when I open and use the browser.. It's terrible. I've come to expect more from this generation of cpu from qualcomm but it's turning out to be the same ol ****
