3d not working, refurbished evo - HTC EVO 3D

Hello,
I bought a used EVO3d, seller said It's a refurbished one. I already saw real 3d on another evo, but the screen of the one I have is clearly not 3d. only blurred.
I tried restarting it, resetting the phone with the bootmanager, removing the battery... Still the same. I know of the 3d switch, I tried to play 3d videos, its just not working. I can still record and take 3d pics and videos with the camera but the screen is just blurry.
Is there a chance someone rooted it, had a custom Rom/kernel, then rerooted it and now something is messed up? I checked for root, its not rooted. Bootloader said s-off.
I'll edit in some more info, could you please help me to find out what's wrong? I didn't read about kernels, rooting and custom Roms in detail so I don't know what to do step by step....

Maybe you should check what kind of LCD panel do you have.But I am not sure if you can change it to a normal not 3d panel.It is just a guess.. I checked mine and it says Sharp.And if I am correct it is the only panel in the EVO3d.But then again I may be wrong.

Yea, there is no way to change out a 3d screen for a 2d one. Since your bootloader is locked, it's likely the device has never been rooted. Try doing a factory reset, that will clear up any software bugs.

I saw on the news that there was a guy who bought 3d Tv's and then switched the 3d panel for a regular one and then brought it back to the store claiming all sort of things. I just thought it was possible.Means I was wrong.

I did a factory reset both in the settings (SD card, privacy) and through the boot manager(vol down+power). What else can I do?
Screen: 4.3 inch qhd resolution
I can't find "sharp" in the hardware information..!
Doh, I just realized it gets relatively hot during minimal use.

Hmmm.......
I would unlock the bootloader first. Its says S-Off?
Try flashing some older GB roms and see if you get 3D to work.
I highly doubt they changed the screen to anything else.
This is why I'd never buy a used phone.
Anyway, I think you can get the thing working.
I assume its GSM?

With a tv, yes it is, because there are many tv's that are the same size as others. For this phone, there is no other phone with this same exact size and same exact connectors.

some phones just bad
my girl got a referbished phone from sptint and it reboots and locks like twice a day.

If you recently got it you can still get TEP on it even if it was bought from craigslist. Then a few days after come in with the Evo and say it's 3D stopped working.
I can confirm this works as my friend did it before
Edit nvm your GSM

The display of the Evo3D has 3 sandwiched components: the display itself followed by the parallax barrier and then the touch digitizer.
Usually you are using the 2D functions of your display and in these situations the parallax barrier is turned off. When you start using 3D, what happens is as follows:
The horizontal resolution of the display is divided by 2 (thus, 960/2=480);
The software in the phone then displays one image for each 2nd pixel and another for the intermediary ones (thus showing 2 different but interlaced images; ex: http://viscg.uni-muenster.de/sim2d3d/img/windows_menus_maya_vi_1600x1200.png ).
The next trick, is to show each eye only one of the 2 images; This is where the parallax barrier comes in. When it get's activated, it forms small ~1 pixel width barriers in front of the LCD unit so that from a certain distance (the sweet spot) each eye can only see one of the 2 images (it's a bit tricky to explain binocular vision).
From what I understand, it seems that you have a problem with the parallax barrier component of the display. It may be software related, though I doubt it.
If you still have the warranty seals intact, don't touch the software. Try to get it into a authorized service and get it serviced under the warranty.

Any one have anything wrong with viewing 3d pictures, that hasn't accepted the ota
I've done no updates to my phone (had it since Wednesday) and I have no issues with 3D pics/vids.
Try rebooting the phone.. (doubt it will help). What you are describing almost sounds like what happens due to a hardware failure.. I've seen flat screen TVs have half the screen be ok, and the other half be all screwed up from faulty hardware

3D working fine here. No OTA!
It seems that you have to let your eyes settle in to get the full effect. Not sure if that's what you're referring to though.
you got to find the SWEET SPOT!!!

Hardware problems?

Hi everyone,
I want to buy EVO 3D, so i need to know, what are common hardware problems with this phone if any (overheating, dust under screen, dead/stuck pixel....etc.)???
Thanks
My first EVO 3d had a green, dead pixel. The only time it gets overheated is when its plugged in, or I am using gps and my mobile network on a sunny day it gets hot.

Lots of users in the beginning reported their EVO 3Ds shutting off randomly. I just bought the EVO 3D and had the same issue and narrowed it down to being Sense-ROM related (didn't happen on AOSP ROMs).
I only got the phone because I had the Sensation for TMo and loved it. I think the 3D is a disappointment IMO. I'd recommend waiting til June and getting the EVO LTE (or whatever it will be called).
My nightmare is ,,dust under screen,, I have 2 htc sensation and with booth i have dust and i can't live with that and i sold them. I don't want to make mistake so i need more opinions. Thanks for reply
I was thinking to wait for the ,,ONE S,, but i think that htc make a lot of mistakes at the begining with this phone (don't have sd card slot, don't have radio, can't remove the battery...etc). I think that Evo 3d will be good phone for at least one year.

My 5th Evo 3D.

Yesterday I had my 5th replacement ordered via the Sprint store. The first 4 had the digitizer go out. The last one stopped reading the SD card. It's getting to be a pain in the ass to have to reroot all these phones. I love my Evo 3D but this is ridiculous. Samsung makes crappy parts. I'm eligible for upgrade as I used to work for Sprint in Tech Support, until pretty recently. Then I realized how poorly I was being paid for the amount of expertise I brought to the table and left for a job thats twice as easy for a lot more pay. No phones they currently carry catches my eye. I want to check out the rumored LG Eclipse. I would leave Sprint but the Ex employee plan is pretty good. I might have too if they keep carrying crappy phones.
Whats the point of this post? Nothing. Just sitting here without a phone, again.
Well, not as bad as I thought. 20 minutes, a wire trick and I'm rooted w s-off. So much easier than trying to brick the phone with the power cord. Thanks guys.
Yeah s-off is cake once you get the hang of it.

Sweep2wake causes the digitizer to malfunction?
Sent from my Kindle Fire
I have my phone right now in for the 4th digitalizer replacement. So far 2 screen replacements and 1 device replacement. This time it looks like another device replacement all this in less than 1 year.
Sweep2Wake does not make the digitizer go out... Where did that even come from?
The Evo 3D's digitizer is just garbage. They have a REALLY high failure rate. I treated mine great and the digitizer just gradually started going south. I suspect my replacement is going to do the same.
i know how u feel
:laugh:yesterday i got my third evo 3d and they were un locked dev style and i didnt have to pay for them free of charge the say no water damage or screen broken sprint pays no matter what sweet right so again 3rd 3d just got done unlocking now on to the wire trick s-off

[Q] Evo 3D Touchscreen Problem

alright XDA, I need help! D: my Evo 3D (CDMA, Sprint, first hboot to be unlocked)
well, the bottom left and right of the touchscreen touch above where I touch instead of where I touch! and it's not a software issue because i tried multiple RELIABLE roms that never had the problem before, and are different android versions, it does it in 4EXT recovery as well.
Roms tried: DEVILTOAST
WILD FOR THE NIGHT
and the latest MIUI
My guess is it's the digitizer, but if it is, I can't find a place that sells it without buying a touchscreen package.
If it's the digitizer can somebody link me to video on replacing it and where to buy it? or suggest an alternative to fixing my problem? because switching to the numpad but instead hitting shift on my keyboard is annoying, and having to turn the phone on it's side to add contacts... also annoying.
Thanks in advance!
Screen and digitizer go together, you can't buy them separate

i think a connector either broke or is loose when you did your swap-outs.
which items did you buy--oem or jobber?
