Right guys, I'm hopefully going to be getting a HTC Evo 3D at some point later this year and I'd like some opinions on it. I've still got my Xperia Play and I'm feeling the limits of a single core device. Is this a worthy upgrade?

Very much so. I came from an OG Evo and I can definitely feel the difference. Idk how the rom development is with the X but here its still great. Worth it all the way, unless you would want to wait for the rumored Evo 3D LTE or the new HTC One. I love this 3vo though and it has more than enough under the hood for everything I use it for. And I use it for EVERYTHING.
Good luck and can't wait to have ya join us if you decide to.

YES for lots more money. Eco 3d is fantastic and cost far far less then any other phone with the same spec.

Alright, I've never had a X-peria before, I've always wanted one but in the end never did. Why? You can thank the marvelous EVO for that. I don't really no stats on the X-peria but on the Evo, I can definitely give you some advice and some well recommended tips in getting it far in beast mode. I've had 3 galaxy s2's, nexus, droids, mytouches, no phone compares what the evo does, in my opinion. Its fast already and wait till the new one comes out, 1.2 ghz processor, dual core, battery is decent but mine is great. There's so many options man, and its pretty much the same setup. Actually I'm running X-peria graphics on my rom thanks to Steal's inbreded rom. Its magic man. Simply great work. My phone has been put to the test with even Droid Razors and Iphone 4s and makes them look like turds that need to be returned to their stores hahah. So yeah man I well recommend you get the Evo 3d or the new Evo that's coming out. Either way you're a winner man. As for rom recommendations go, go with Steal's inbreded rom and get the amazing EXT recovery. Good luck!
Thanks guys, money is my major problem or else I'll have an Xperia S by now. XD how's the speaker quality on this? I've noticed a few roms with beats audio, is it just a equalizer setting or does it compare well up to a HTC with actual beats built in?

In my opinion, it just makes the speakers sound louder. But I don't have beats headphones to test em with. Volume+ on the app store does basically the same thing as beats. But the speakers are okay, just kinda low on a stock rom.

I love the 3D. I honestly never use the 3D function, it's more of a gimmick imo, but the phone is the best I've owned yet. And at this point, I'll never own anything but an HTC.

i love it too. a little bummed out by the hboot 1.5 crap but it's easy enough to work around. the phone screams and looks amazing. and the camera is quite nice. don't let the fact that is' 5MP fool you. still gives great shots. and the 3D is really just like a cherry on top. fun to play around with but easy to turn off.
I love my EVO 3D too...
I like my Evo 3d, but just to be completely honest, I miss my Nexus S 4G. I actually bought a ns4g yesterday from the marketplace here on xda. I also bought 2 off eBay. Not sure if I will still keep the 3d, but I will definitely be keeping one of the ns4g. 2 are broken, so they are projects.

My EVO 3D has been a great phone. No problems.
Thank you HTC..
I have to agree I like the Evo 3D , even in stock form it performs very well . HTC does make a good product (atleast my expierence with them) . Even with me moving to carriers shortly (possible new job will relocate me to a Verizon area , no sprint service) I will probably go with the HTC Rezound . Motorola just isnt doing it for me from what I see and the Droid Prime , well it has ICS but eh . New carrier but sticking with HTC .

The NS4G is a very nice phone, my brother-in-law is using mine until the Galaxy Nexus comes out. One thing I don't miss about that phone is the horrible WiFi and Data reception.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I really dig the Photon and the SGSII is nice as well. But for me, Sense is where it's at. Plus the Dev support is fantastic and exceeds that of the Sammy and MoPho in my opinion.
I had the opportunity to go Photon or Evo3D. Went Evo3D. No regrets. The community really ha made this phone a beast. Before root, I must admit I missed my Evo4G... Not anymore. 3D is neat, but ultimately a gimmick in my humble opinion. The dial cores are fast. I'm running Eternity on mine and it is buttery smooth. To the battery issue.... I chew through them. SIMPLE and CHEAP solution. Ebay up a set of 3 spare batteries and a battery charger for $20. Cha ching!
E3D'ed... Booyah!

Sarcasm? lol Play w/ it for a good long while and choose from there. I'm still thinking of trading in my Evo 3D for an Epic Touch 4G... but I have heard nothing but problems from peeps on these forums regarding said device. LOS; cheap build quality; software issues after root, etc. BUT I have also heard nothing but good things about the screen/camera/phone's fluidity.
I've played w/ the ET a couple of times... I've never had any issues w/ it at all while handling it and the fact that the phone FEELS so much smoother than the Evo 3D really makes me want to make the switch.
Anyway, the Photon beats them both for phone stability and build quality but the interface is very bogged down/laggy and the dev support is pretty damn scarce.
Make the right decision. :3
I figure the battery is the same as epic touch which is bad so I would go have look for quality and I know the evo3d has some weight to it which is fine with me epic touch looks like its poor quality any thoughts

Really depends on what ur coming from. I mean its a bad ass phone for sure but I think I could have been just as happy sticking with my 4G EVO. I love my 3d don't get me wrong. It's fast and reliable for sure. The 3d feature is cool at first but i don't really find any real use for it. Definately love it but think about this too, LTE phones should be coming out one after another starting next year. Depending on what u got now maybe u should wait and see what's new in the first quarter.

If you've held out on upgrading this long, I'd go ahead and wait for Sprint to start releasing LTE devices next year. That would suck if you upgraded now, right before the end of the year and in 6 months LTE devices come out and Sprint's new LTE network starting to become operational, and you're stuck with a WiMAX phone for 2 years.

What is it called? and were can i find a release date?
Last I heard it was to be called the Google Play. Notice they changed the name of the market recently. But everything is still a rumor thus far. The Asus Memo is supposed to drop in the next few months. The Google tablet is supposed to be similar, but scaled down a bit. Less memory,as it will use cloud storage etc are some of the rumors.

Damn...so that means we will have to deal with you in the Evo3D forums for atleast another month?
Galaxy S3. I am looking for something new.
I never thought i'd say this...but my next phone might be a Samsung. lol
I really wish HTC wasn't soooo blind and/or blatantly anti-consumer. It seems like Samsung got everything right with the gs3 while the new line of HTC phones still have quite a few things that I really don't like about them.
I haven't finalized my decision by any means, but as of now, i'm definitely leaning towards the GS3.
Everything was looking so good right up until the screen...F That crap...not even going to give pentile display a 2nd thought after seeing the Galaxy Nexus up close.

new evo ... locked in battery
gs3 for me
The answer would be easy if HTC would listen to the community. But since Samsung makes their devices developer friendly its a hard not to go with them. Even with the screen quality being less than the Evo LTE. The Evo is guaranteed to be locked and I can't stand being restricted. HTC also doesn't give out source code so our devs can't build functioning roms. Thats why I'm leaning Samsung
Coming from the rezound in June. I was happy with the way the one x looked and thought that's what I'd be getting, then the evo let design came out. It kind of bummed me but it's growing on me. The sg3 just doesn't have a good enough design for me. I like the lte's look better. Still wish it looked like the one x though :/. Oh well I still can't wait.

I'm looking for some opinions and comments here...
I thought I might return this phone to Radio Shack because I wasn't sure if it would get JB. But after spending more time with it, I don't care if it doesn't get it--wow! I was amazed by the audio and video as it was. But today I spent some time with the Developer Options. Except for overclocking the phone, I can't see a reason to root and install CM* or anything else. There's so much in it now! There's no way I'm going to get this out of an iPhone. My coworker just stares at it and says, "two more months...".
So that said, are folks still looking to install CM on this phone? What else would you get out of CM or another ROM that you're not getting from what the phone has now?
Thanks.
As far as getting aosp... Better performance, better battery life, no sense.

Exactly, there's a difference between vanilla JB and JB with a Sense overlay. People aren't seemingly seeing the difference.
And I can live without image sense. As long as the camera can still take the same quality pictures, I'm game for CM10 or CM9. Or AOKP.
OP, I've flashed CM9 and the speed difference hurts my head. It proves that Sense is slowing down this phone. Definitely looking forward to seeing what this phone can really do!
That said, I agree that the phone is terrific as is! Many will be plenty happy without custom ROMs. But many, including myself, are anxious to push this thing to the limits and AOSP will likely do that, performance-wise. I can't wait!

Ok, i would recognize in a hot second it wasnt sense if i put a sense clock weather widgit on my homescreen. For 1, the status bar, the standing battery is ugly imo, the data bars...all of it up top is not pretty to me. The dock on the bottom, isnt my style, when you open the messaging app, sense is just so much more sexy, and elegent to me, even the people app, i feel the same way about. But they are right, a vanilla non sense rom of course will b smoother, and faster, and less battery draining. But im willing to take a slight hit on those for the looks of sense. I just love it.....and always have.
