I figured this would happen. It's probably best since HTC uses the 3D as an excuse NOT to update the phone in line with their releases... I would've really liked to have another 3D phone, but if we don't get one, I'll be alright. I'll miss it, though.
They should have rejected HTC's hideous design for the 4G LTE *shudder*

Sure it may have been a gimmick but to me, so is LTE. I've had the og EVO since launch and only recently picked up the 3d and have never used Wimax cuz it never even came close to.my area. LTE won't either and just like the "promised" Wimax how long will it really take?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Now, I have no intentions of getting the LTE but if I did I would say kudos for the lack of 3d....totally worthless (for me at least....I know some of you like it).
I liked the 3D portion as a novelty, but hated how it made getting working cameras such a pita.
I would like to have the 4g LTE but I'm with the other guy who said It's a crock, I'm on my 2nd WiMAX phone and have never used it beyond a trip to DC ..I highly doubt LTE will be in my area anytime soon. I'll pass on this years evo

It's kind of cool to show to people who've never seen it, but beyond that, I've tired of it. I wouldn't buy a phone based on its 3D capabilities (not why I bought this one either). I just don't think 3D on a phone is a killer feature.
Just wait until an iPhone comes out with 3D. I actually hope one does. Then it will force other phones to have it. As much as I hate Apple, they do have a place in the market. If they do something that Android doesn't have, like a NEW 3D phone, other manufacturers will almost be forced to do it.

Thank goodness. The last thing we needed was another fail 3D device. Kudos, Sprint!
I've used 3dcamera about 10 times.
It's just not worth it when 98% of my contacts can't view 3d. They can't send me 3d. Share a 3d image or vid on facebook no one can view it.
I was hoping for a 3d landscape GUI (sense) that didn't happen.
Only worth it for 3d games, and even then its not all that great.
I get WiMAX everywhere except for out in suburbia, so the LTE rollout when it happends here will be a great addition.

I've said this before but I'll go ahead and say it again.
If Apple drops an iphone with 3D it will likely be a huge success. The main reason is because the people at Apple are smart/savvy and they will release enough 3D content to make it a real feature. The support will be there, apps, games, videos..it will prolly be loaded. The HTC/Android 3D is a complete and total joke..it was forgot about as soon as it shipped.
People will hate and say all the normal stuff they say about the iphone, but if it has more content, more stuff that makes you go "wow, that's cool" then it will by far and away smash the Evo 3D.
3D isn't going away. There will be 3D phones in the future.
Just because Sprint, who is notorious for making terrible business decisions, passed on a 3D phone, it doesn't mean the technology is dead.
I personally only take 3D pictures and videos. I will only buy 3D phones from this point forward. Buying a 2D phone at this point is similar to buying an SD TV.
When I buy the Avengers bluray, it Erik be the 3D version. When I but a new TV, it will have 3D. And when I buy a new phone, it will have 3D. If Sprint doesn't want to sell me one, fine by me. I'll just give someone else my money when I buy it and activate it somewhere else.
And hopefully it will be made by a company that actually believes in open source. HTC treats their drivers and source as proprietary and refuses to release it in a timely manner. That's the only reason it was so hard to get the 3D features working on custom ROMs, because HTC refused to release source and drivers for it.
Limited translation
The 3D feature is nice but with limited translation to any other platform, it's stuck in novelty mode. Perhaps once there are more devices and means of viewing the 3D content it will be a big deal.
LTE on the other hand not so novelty, better penetration into structures is desperately needed WiMax is sad in this area. I'm still dragging my feet on a LTE device until it's in my area though, not buying on a promise Sprint doesn't keep those very well and are rather slow when they do.

You're probably right about iPhone and 3D and content but, iPhone would benefit far more from a 4G variant and larger screen, that would quiet us Android users down a notch and really excite iPhone fans...it might even convert a few folks. 3D would just be cute fad.

I have always been HTC lover. Since the pp6700 I had every htc flagship smartphone. True they were not perfect, which was why I ditched my evo for epic.
Better in a lot of ways but has problems of it's own. Ended up hating the galaxy as well. Well I wanted to come back to htc before catching wind of the S2
But I see in this forum of many build quality problems well scattered thought the device. Seems rushed product? Seems more faults then epic and evo together when released.
Just wanted to know what others feel.

Its definitely worth it if you get a good one. People act like its such a huge request to look at the phone prior to leaving the sprint store... If there is something wrong with the one they bring you, just tell them you want a different one.

I am on my second device (EVO 3D). I killed the first because I did a drunken swim (lil drunk right now in case this post doesn't make much sense ) and forgot it was in my pocket. The first had 1 dead pixel, only noticible when using an app to look for them and even then, I was the only one of the 3 people I asked who could actually see it. Other than that, the build quality on both phones has been outstanding. IMHO those who complain, for the most part, are those who would complain about just about anything and are looking for things to ***** about. The 3D is superior to the OG EVO in every way (with the exception of root). Is it the difference I had from my old Touch Diamond to my OG EVO, no, absolutely not. It is an evolutionary improvement with the added feature of 3D. I think the build quality of the 3D is night-and-day better than the build quality of the OG EVO, but that's just my opinion. Is it worth getting? I wouldn't go back to my old EVO, the decision is really to each his/her own.
I'm happy with mine too... Just that it lags pretty bad when scrolling in the market and some apps.... But I guess could be fixed by a update.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
This is definitely an upgrade to my old EVO by a longshot. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth getting? Yes.
Sense 3.0 at its best, Camera is better, shutter button is a welcome addition, the screen is better, Stock speed is faster than EVO rooted, the graphics WOW, 1Gig RAM, a gig of UA storage & the 3D is fun as hell. It's one core alone is better & it has 2 of them. Most of the developers from the EVO 4G will develop for the EVO 3D.
I can cry about it not having permanent root but that's just a matter of patience.
You have 30 days to make that call for yourself, you might feel differently or even better about it.

Definitely worth it for me. I had my Evo 4G for less than a year, sold it for $240, and got the full upgrade price of $199 so it cost me nothing extra except one extra year on contract to get a better new phone.
I love the Evo 3D. And anyone who b*tches about it all the time cuz their screen is a lil bit yellow instead of white, or they got shipped with kingston instead of scan or w/e can just take it back n get the samsung instead and let the rest of us actually enjoy this beast. It's one of the best phones out there and the only 3D phone that is worth buying and that 3D feature got me laid, so STOP b*tchin. Not aimed at the thread starter.

I keep seeing these "I love my phone" threads or "I'm returning my phone" thread and all it does to me is make me indecisive. My upgrade is available on August 1st and I want to know if it's worth it. I am an evo 4g user since last year and i want to know from someone who enjoyed the evo since day 1 the difference between the two phones. By the way I am not planning on getting a gs2. Thanks guys.
UPDATE : Bought the damn phone and then I rooted the damn thing and I overclocked it and I am loving it. Thank god my account was eligible for an upgrade on August 1st while root was out. Patience is a virtue.

I had the Evo 4G since launch day, used it all year, and upgraded to the Evo3D on launch day as well. It is definitely an upgrade from the Evo 4G. The qHD screen is superior, the smoothness of the UI is awesome, sense 3.0 is cool, the processor and gpu are both beasts, and 90% of the devs that worked on the Evo4g are here for the Evo3D as well. The only thing the Evo has on the 3d (IMO) is full root and custom roms/kernels. However, we are very close to having that on the 3D as well. (hopefully) So to answer your question, yes I think you would enjoy the upgrade from the Evo4g. The power of this phone is amazing, even stock. The battery life is superior to the Evo too. And things are only going to get better from here, once we have S-off.

What he said. I have both phones still. The only issue I have run into with the phone is wireless speeds. I am in the sticks, and pretty sure I am usually roaming on Verizon 1x towers. When I was in a big city over the weekend, Colorado Springs, the 4G speeds were pretty stinking awesome! 3G left a lot to be desired though. I have read up on it a bit, talked with those who I thought would know more than me, and did the 3G speed fix. So far, is loads about 200kbps regardless of signal strength. If you can look past that, you're set. I am pretty sure I'll be sticking this device out for as long as Devs are willing to work on it. Keeping fingers crossed for all of the fun possibilities that this POWERFUL device will bring when kinks are worked out.
Buy it you won't regret it!

For me, i was torn between evo3d and nexus s, i ended up with the 3d and for my first 30 i considered trading for the nexus, if it had just a few more features i probably would have traded for it. Now i wish i would have waited for the samsung s2.
Do i like the phone? Yes
Was it worth $200 to upgrade from the evo? No
But i sold my evo back to sprint for $150, so for a $50 upgrade from the evo it was worth it. Although i still wish i would have heald off for the new samsung coming out
Everything everyone wants in a custom rom and everything every custom rom advertises for the OG EVO is already in the 3D stock, plus the 3d features and more. Yes. Buy the damn phone! It hasn't even been rooted yet. This means where the OG EVO is being pushed to its limits, the 3D's true potential hasn't even been tapped yet.
Yes. Phone is awesome, even without full root.
I love my 3vo. But to each their own. Make sure the screen isn't crooked before they activate it.
Battery life is awesome. Way far superior than the OG 4G.
The ONLY think I like about the OG 4G is the width of the screen. I wish the 3vo was the same width. The 3vo seems a little top heavy in my hands. But it is so minor that I'll soon forget about it.

With or without root (which will come) this phone is beastly. I cannot guarantee that you will like it since I do not know of your previous phone history/preferences but I am assuming that your not a stranger to the smartphone/Android/HTC arena?

Great phone but with Sprint's version of the GSII (Within) just passing through the FCC yesterday I would personally wait a few weeks. Looks like the GSII is coming soon. I personally will be getting it but I walk around with 2 phones. If I only had one upgrade I would wait till you get a firm release date so you can at least have that 30 day window in case you don't like the 3D & want to go with the GSII (Within). But both are great phones so I guess the decision is ultimately whether you prefer Samsung over HTC. I personally think Samsung wins the hardware battle just sucks when it comes to software and support of their products. Also the big time devs are in the 3D's corner right now.

Had the Samsung Epic and gave up on Samsung providing any updates over a year or more. Always saw HTC updates in the forums. I will not be done in again by sightly better hardware verses superior software support. I'm in HTC's camp from now on.

Sense 3.6 not 4.0 on the sensation BTW. This confirmed by Jeff Gordon in a recent interview, who is in charge of global communications for HTC...also the guy is around this site too and posts some.
If 3D is pointless to you and you want to knock the device then why get it in the first place.

That's a question for you to answer yourself. We can't tell you whether or not you like your phone. Me? I like this phone. It doesn't have the same impact as the OG Evo did on me (that being my first ever decent phone) but it's still a pretty solid phone. Been able to run ICS on it since I got it after the New Year. I see very little wrong with this phone.
Devs for the Evo are better. 'nuff said. Yeah. Thats right. I said at it. And I'm a badass too. Come at me.

Everything in this post, except for the timeframe of ICS updates, is so untrue. Just saying.
I was drawn to EVO 3d becouse of its design, like it more than Sensation. Having 1gb of rom, opposite to Sensations 768mb, was a one more reason to have it. Not to mention that it should be HTC's flag ship. When all started heading down hill, seed of doubt was planted. Wanted to hear other people opinions.

Sprint has some catching up to do service wise. If i was in the market now for a new phone and carrier, i would look elsewhere. Im not hating sprint or evo. Dont take it that way. In my area, dataspeeds are horrible, may be ok for you though if your in a major metro area.

The 1gb of RAM compared to the sensations 768Mb did it for me. Usually its not a huge deal...but c'mon we're talking about two sense phones here lol.
I personally do like the 3D feature of the device two, pretty much to the point so far where I might only purchase another phone if it had 3D (which is unlikely since im a minority)
If I were you, I'd get the Sensation because it has a bigger user base = more devs.

This.
Go where there is a more robust developing community. Not bashing anybody who develops on this phone since they made my EVO 3D a beast, but I realized that huge International phones like the Sensation and GSII are miles ahead in getting things done.
Guys, why did some of you buy the Evo 3D first hand at all - if not of for the 3D?
THAT should've been the main reason - best 3D compared to any other phone, and good overall performance for everything else (save the battery ). I was "back then" really drawn to the Sensation, but it had NO 3D. I'd have almost bought the LG, but luckily was saved by HTC
I never expected it to catch on, because the people apparently see 3D only as a gimmick (sic!), and a low priority one as that..."3D? Uh, yeah, cool... but does it play Angry Birds? Show me!"...
So, lessons learned: Next time buy the phone you need... I hope my 3D stays with me a long time.
Cheers

THAT should've been the main reason - best 3D compared to any other phone, and good overall performance for everything else (save the battery ). I was "back then" really drawn to the Sensation, but it had NO 3D. I'd have almost bought the LG, but luckily was saved by HTC
I never expected it to catch on, because the people apparently see 3D only as a gimmick (sic!), and a low priority one as that..."3D? Uh, yeah, cool... but does it play Angry Birds? Show me!"...
So, lessons learned: Next time buy the phone you need... I hope my 3D stays with me a long time.
Cheers
Christoph

Because of the hardware inside, not the screen, or sense. Well at least for me, it was the best option when going the price to performance route.

I was hoping our beloved EVO 3D phone wouldn't be the last....

It might just be a prototype, so don't get too excited.

Even if it weren't, after seeing how tough of a time the developers are having with AOSP on the EVO 3D, I wouldn't get it.

Engadget said that HTC told them it was a prototype for the next evo but decided to not do 3D. thats fine anyways because i know its whats slowing down our ics update. i wont buy another 3D phone ever
Sorry, not interested. 3d seems to be the reason that we can never get the camera working on the various roms. I have used 3d exactly 6 times since last june, all to show how it works.
If you love it, then I am happy for you and hope that they come out with a 3d variant for you, but not at the expense of the regular one.
Mmm gimmicky closed source implementations that delay developers...nah no thanks. Keep it open and honest.

why blame it on 3d none of the msm8660 devices that have cam working on aosp [sensation.vivid.rezound] have gotten it working from source...theyre just using the leaked libs/binaries they got from their ics leak..we would be able to do the same if we got an ics leak of our own..

+1 and +1 for 3D. I would love to have it on a 4.7" 720p display!
Sent from my ICS lovin 3D!!!
If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
i get mad when my camera switch somehow get set to 3d, because then i have to switch it back to 2d so i can take a picture i can actually view without searing my retinas like tuna steaks.
3d was something i was excited about, then i used it that day, and then never again. not worth it IMO.
plus AOSP=sex
Wow, thanks for giving us the link! Will get it for sure

Yea looking at the video and where they show the EVO 4G LTE 3D (how horrid a name that'd be) prototype they show a bunch of other prototypes that weren't final next to it also. one even looked like the OG EVO.
Plus there is a reason 3D looks a bit better on the Optimus 3d (it does I promise) and that's because of the lower resolution. So I don't know how well a 720p stereoscopic display would come out.
I think ill just wait for the "EVO 4G 3D HD skyrocket SIII Maxx" to come out for my next device
I believe it would be smart for sprint to release 2 variations, a 3D one and the current one. The current 3D users could keep their 3D feature while having an even better phone or for the ppl tht don't want 3D, they could still get this badass phone! Sprint/HTC would be making more money and everyone who wants one of the variations would be happy tht there is the option....
Seems like a WIN WIN situation to me....

My next phone will have 3D. Either that or I will grow old with this Evo 3D.
That's smart. My next phone would be 3D. But remember. It's tough choice. 3D with 5mp camera or normal with 8mp camera

It was an early design concept that was scrapped....dont get too excited people, it isn't on the way out for us at all...

I'm not saying that it's for sure coming, but....
If it really was coming, they would absolutely not come out and say that right now. They want this new phone to be the biggest and must hyped thing on the market. There is now way they would compromise the launch with news if an upgraded model on the horizon. Of course they aren't admitting to one being made right now.
Want to make the next evo fail? Add 3D.

Decided to start this to start this to see if many people actually care about it considering that its not the best 3d out there. I know devs work super hard on getting all features on the great ROMs they bring us to feed our flashing addiction lol so by no means am I bashing or anything like that. Just curious to see how many ppl are crazy about it 3d.

Are you referring to our phone (as one of its nicknames is 3d) or the feature?
If your referring to the phone than I love it, while the 3d has gone through its rough times development has picked up and is amazing. At least for cdma (I don't really go into gsm). Because of our awsome devs I kept my 3d instead of buying out my contract and moving on.
If your referring to the feature than in my opinion its a gimmick. I used it for like a week to show it off but that was it. There are rare occasions that I show it off but it's not anything I really care for anymore. I've pretty much moved away from sense and the ability to use 3d.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yes I'm refering to the feature the actuall device is great and all the development that has recently emerged IS AMAZING! I sold my GSII to buy this Evo right before ICS update and I gotta say at first I was a bit disappointed (mainly cuz of all the freeze/reboot issues) but after rooting and non stop flashing I couldn't be happier. My thing is that Im sure devs spend a ton of their time working on it but do the benefits really outweigh the time spent?

I have the GSM version and as far as development, whoa this week saved me from upgrading, I love my Evo, fast, sturdy, right size screen although I couldn't care less about actual 3d camera, as previously stated, it's a gimmick. We have so many jb aosp, cm10 roms, just can't seem to justify the upgrade now. I would also miss all the flaming wars and antics from this forum, at least I have something to replace hockey for the moment
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Haha yup I want Evo 4g lte but same here because of all the great devs here I'm in no rush to upgrade at all

3D is at the bottom of my list when it comes to features in a Rom. It was interesting to try when I first got the phone but that was about it

Amazing phone because of the amazing devs. They have been giving lot of love lately. Plus when I play avatar in full sbs on my phone and people see it.... The look on their faces is like a troll drooling. Haha...

3d was on the bottom of my list
i only bought this phone cause it was cheap and a decent CPU/GPU/RAM and had removable battery and microSD storage for my 32GB class 10 card i already owned.
3D though won me over a bit - it did some nice shots - its a massive gimmick but I think its a shame it hasnt been picked up much.
i sadly dont have a 3d tv or anything so my phone is the only way to show images off.
I actually really want a Nexus4 now too - so bit of a tough decision - if HTC released Jellybean for this Evo3D then I'd probably stick with it another six months or so
as it stands I am sorely tempted by the cheap price of the Nexus4 and the fact that google will support it!
Evo3d is my second htc phone although it has very good specs my next phone won't be htc anymore due to htc development policy. Actually all of the android phones have the same problem a bit but when my evo3d dies i will buy a nexus no matter what
I consider the 3D to be a massive gimmick but in all fairness its a good show-off
with the right 3D video your friends can get blown away. Showed it to a friend of mine and now he wants a 3vo too.
BUT.. being an AOSP lover like me you wont get 3D to show off. Its a damn shame when your friends say "why the eff did you buy a 3D phone when you arent gonna use it for the 3D"
im like [-_-] _|_
I can give a link to avatar qhd sbs if you guys want. Looks really amazing. The picture taking is really a headache though.

I used it to take a few 3d drunk shots and videos and havent touched it since. It isn't a necessary feature for me and I don't think I'll use it ever again if it comes to JB.
Yeah same here I'm not sure if it's just my device but it really just looks like I'm seeing double so the 3d is useless to me. It would be cool if they could incorporate another cool feature into the 3d switch instead

i have been tryin alot of roms....paranoid android is really awesome u guys! i think the 3d is one of the most fun devices i've ever owed. when i get lte in my area i'm prolly gonna stick w HTC and get a 4g LTE!
some of the construction job photo's Ive taken with 3d from top of cranes and scissor lifts, have freaked people out.
I'd probably use 3d once a week if not more.
I base my decision on hardware specs, if HTC make it too hard to get s-off then I will go elsewhere for my phones.
But they shouldn't remove it either, need something to save the idiots from themselves
It is cool initially and to show other people. I get a lot of great wow responses but day to day, at least for me it is pretty much useless. I'd rather have a single camera lens and a thinner phone

In my opinion PA is the best rom out. It has a couple minor glitches but nothing that can't be looked past lol. By far the most options available for customizing.
Just hope there's a PA coming for evo 4g lte cuz I'm getting one soon...

For me 3d is just a nice gadget to show off, and etc, but watchin 3d movies in the bus (when u must sit in bus for 8 hours) are great.
it's a nice feature but i don't often use it...but if the iphone had this option i think the apple fanboys would brag all day about this :laugh:
