but how is the battery life gona be? will it suck like the 1st 1? if i could put my extended battery in the 3d i would be on it! still mite be though. guess we'll see

Yeah... that is the big question. Its rated 1.66 hours longer then the evo 4g. So hopefully...

yup, true. my guess is that this is not necessarily an upgrade that promises better batt life, because of the new screen. just a guess.

It's got 3 obvious things going for it that will definitely improve battery life.
1. Gingerbread which is better than Froyo for battery life among other things.
2. More efficient cpu plus it's dual core, which will help with battery life.
3. It's got a bigger battery that's 15% larger.

Yep... but only time will tell how much better.
I'm curious if anyone that has moved from an Evo 4G to an Evo 3D has a used, rooted Evo 4G that gets good battery life that they might want to sell at a ressonable price.
My wife and I both got early, pre-ordered Evo's from one of the lots that just gets crappy battery life no matter what. April's not that far away, but at the right price I'd replace my wife's now. She has an extended battery (3500 mAh) and gets less than many of our friends do with the stock battery, and the stock battery is far worse.
Thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Thank you for your time.
I just got a used Evo 4G off ebay for $110 shipped. Rooting it is a piece of cake even on gingerbread now.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

If you get a evo throw CM 7 on it or whatever the latest CM is nowadays. Best battery life I have ever seen.

Whats the best sense based Rom for battery life?
Any ROM can achieve amazing battery life, just make sure you have setCPU and under clock the CPU. I get 5 days on minimal use on my 3D.

I would love to challenge this. I'm not calling BS because well, I don't know you and I just don't really do that but I DO want to know what type of usage you are doing. In my experience I can get a few days if I just pop on to text and check emails but not with anything past medium to heavy usage.
As for the 4G, YMMV so just read up on it. I agree CM plus custom kernel I probably got the best battery I have ever gotten on a phone period but everything past build 150 that started to decline. Sense based Roms I would suggest anything in the 2.1/3.0 hybrid family plus chop suey kernel. The 3.0 and 3.5 just never really ran right for an extended period for me and the battery was really quirky. Also, most of the 3.0 to 3.5 features were not really available in full form so it was kind of pointless.
I migrated at the beginning of the ICS releases so I would also check into those. I sometimes float back and they are FAR more advanced than we are right now.
Hello everyone,
i currently own the good ol' fashion nexus one and i decided to stick with htc.
right now i have my eyes set on the evo 3d but i would like to have some more opinions on the phone from people who acctually own\owned one.
how fast is it?
hows the 3d?
is the 1gb or rom that restrictive? [evo 3d gsm users]
does it run demanding games well? [shadowngun, GTA III, dead space, modern combat 3, etc..]
whats the highest stable overclock and how does it effect performance?
and some general notes you have to say about the device.
thanks you all and best regards

Umm, fast? Obviously not the fastest phone out anymore, as its about 8 months old.

Works good, but pretty much just a gimick. I have watched a few 3d youtube videos, but I would never be able to stare at this small of a screen to watch a two hour movie.

I believe 1.5 or 1.6 is the highest stable you can go.

when i saw you name, i thought that i remember i labeled you as a troll from some posts a while back, now reading your reply my initial thoughts were correct.
this phone is very good but if you want a phone that you expect many different roms to flash maybe you should get another phone
I say just wait for the phone that everyone wants = more devs

i second this. good phone...not an extreme amount of community/dev support. there is plenty, but it's not a phone that has some great number of experimental roms or anything.
Good phone, but imo should go with something newer if tech interest you. If not, go for it. Can get it really cheap now compared to the other phones with same tech. 3d is just a plus, not a must have but fun to play with and show off to friends.
And 3d boobs =
From the giant: Galaxy Note
It currently has the best resolution, openness of storage, good processor speed, and ram available on sprint. The 3D is an OK extra but even without it it's the best phone right now.

does anyone really even use the 3d capabilities?
how fast is it?
The UI has no lag, if that's what you mean
hows the 3d?
It's annoying and strains your eyes, but pretty cool the first few weeks. After that, you really stop using it.
does it run demanding games well? [shadowngun, GTA III, dead space, modern combat 3, etc..]
Yep, no lag
whats the highest stable overclock and how does it effect performance?
The phone's stock clock is 1.2Ghz. The processor is meant to be at 1.5Ghz so that's the highest stable you'll go. Some phones can get up to 1.8Ghz and 1.9Ghz.
Additional Notes:
Don't get the evo 3D unless you need a new phone now. This phone is 8 months old meaning the new Evo will come out soon. Also, the GSM Evo 3D doesn't have much dev support. If you want great dev support, try the Samsung Galaxy SII.

Pretty much what this guy said.. I was going to say. So Kudos.
Get this phone if its for cheap money, otherwise get a GS2.
I wouldn't waste your upgrade on a phone that's been out for 8 months

Never played any of those but I would imagine so. It has pretty beefy processing power and as I said before, if you put a custom ROM and kernel on it then things become VERY smooth. Benchmarks are subjective and everyone has their favorite, but some people can pull over 4000 score in Quadrant benchmark with this phone.

Highest I have seen is just over 2GHz, but I dont think that is stable 100%. Highest known to be stable is a bit over 1.7GHz, most are completely stable around 1.5-1.6GHz range. I have my phone set up with a 2 stage OnDemand governor with a max speed of 1.4GHz
Performance from overclocking is big, especially on a custom kernel like AnthraX. That kernel has different GPU and bus speeds in it as well, and if you run between 1.4-1.6GHz you have an overclocked GPU as well as overclocked CPU. Going above that lowers GPU to stock speeds to help stability.
Performance is VERY good at stock though and you shouldnt need to OC to run anything.
Battery life is average Id say, but if you get just the right setup and tweak things just right you can get amazing battery life. I have gone over 3 days on a single charge with very light usage. On heavy usage it is like any phone and only goes about 5-6 hours.

I keep kidding myself that I'll watch a 3D movie or so one of these days. So far I think I watched half of Avatar.
well thats kind of disappointing i thought this phone would have better opinions...
well then i would like that ull recommend a phone if possible id like to stay with htc... loving sense and loving build quality.. and the gsII isnt a possibility for me...
i wanted the evo 3d over the sensation xe because of the ram..
the question is... is it worth the wait and the money to wait for the next gen snapdragon s4 htc devices which will probebly be annouced at mwc in a month..
great phone fast responsive with the latest update battery life has been great for me. every game i threw at it , it played it with no lag . I think it will take some time for devs to really get a hold of the 3d thing to get that and 4g into asop roms. I found this app on htc hub called phereo thats a 3d pic sharing app thats got me hooked on the 3d side of it again lol. my stable max over clock is 1728 mhz hope this helps

I don't know what these guys are talking about. This is by far the best quality/price you could get right now. There is the Motorola Atrix 4G which is also cheap but not as good as the Evo3D. The only dark spot is the camera which is good but not as great as other phones.
Evo 3D is always on the top 5 most popular phones on XDA. so I guess deving is still ongoing. Most devs are just waiting for an ICS leak to get back. And GSM dev section has nearly all flavours: Sense 3.0, Sense 3.5, AOSP (MIUI, ICS and CM) and I have no doubt that even if some builds miss one or two things, they will get mature in the near future.
Anyway, my choices would be:
If you have money, want speed with good quality build and can wait: HTC Edge.
If you have money, want speed with good quality build and cannot wait: HTC Amaze.
If you don't have money, want speed with good quality build: HTC Evo 3D.
And since I do like to use my phone (using like calling family, checking mails, feeds, etc. not like running useless benchmarks) and want it to stick around, I would never recommend a plastic phone like GSII.

I actually use 3D a lot. I have watched quit a few movies, played almost all of the games and love just checking out 3D pictures. Some people complain about it but I love it. I love the phone overall. The only thing that would stop me from buying this phone, is the possibility of a quad core soon.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081377
if u're heavy user u should get another phone or extended battery which make it pretty big
the main disadvantage in Rezound is the battery
the roms and performance is gr8
Development is pretty active, and I never had complaints about the performance, but the battery is absolute trash. Even with the extended, I was only getting 4 hours out of the screen.
I personally think this is a good phone overall. Its fast, has good camera, a beautiful screen, and has many hidden capabilities that you can uncover when you root it. However the battery life does suck. It could last you all day if you don't use it a lot,but if your a heavy user with it then you won't like it. But its all up to the user. I have the global ruu on it and it made the battery life better which i'm glad. I have it on T-Mobile
pro: performance, screen, camera, signal,
con: battery life,

have to tell you htc has stopped producing REZOUND for one year and a half. kinda out of date.
Your better off at this point paying for a note and unlock boot loader or get a HTC one+ or get what ever they make with a tega4i

hello guys ...
I just wanna know what rom is the fastest I mean like incredibly fast ! with really low back ground apps which makes phone faster and gives battery better life capacity ...
like HTC for example I owned lots of HTC phones . one X sensation XL One M8 ... all of these phones are really quick when it comes to launching apps due to its low back ground cached apps ... so can any one help me with this ?

There is no 'best' ROM nor kernel, each and every user has their own setup. So User A might be using ROM A and have great battery life and the phone is super fast, whilse User B may experience poor battery life and a slow, bogged down phone.
The only way to find the best ROM for your setup is to experiment with different ROMs and see what you feel works the best for your setup.
