Just what the title says, opinions? I have had the 3d for the weekend pretty much and it is ok, but some things I am finding out about it are lacking. The 3d camera is nice, but what would I really use it for? To me its almost just a, ' Hey look at my cool camera' type gimmick.
What are some of your guys' thoughts on the Epic/Nexus, or how about the Photon, I think the Photon actually looks pretty cool and I would have my kickstand back.
Thoughts? Please be as detailed as possible, would be appreciated.
Thanks
I can't really give any opinion on the Photon as it's not out yet, but the Evo 3D is well ahead of both the Epic and the Nexus S in terms of hardware. I currently have an Evo 4G and owned an Epic for a while before I got fed up with it and gave it to my wife so I could get my Evo back. I suppose it all depends on what you intend to do with your phone, but the current Samsung offerings aren't in the same league as the Evo 3D. It has a higher res screen, a faster clock speed, twice as many cores, and twice as much RAM.
Between Sprint giving me my original Sprint Premier early upgrade back for the EVO 3D launch, and Target giving me $150 trade it, total out of pocket cost to upgrade was just $68 and adding a year to my contract.
It's also a big plus that HTC will OFFICIALLY be permitting root. I know at least one dev (I forget which it was) has a 3D in hand. So, there ought to be lots of non-Sprint options.
So far my only complaint is that the colors on the screen seem faded. Like a cloudy day. Not the end of the world, but I wouldn't have liked a better/brighter screen. (Not the AMOLED one though, those are too saturated. Like looking inside a fish tank.)
I currently have the epic and evo 3d as my daily phones and i can tell you to avoid the epic like the plague....i have had software problems from phone ramdomly exiting applications to slow laggy perfromance on almost everything except gaming. I have had my epic since release and will never purchase a samsung phone again...their hardware is usually incrementally better than the competition but their software implementation leaves much to be desired, which makes superior hardware null at best. The feel of the evo 3d in hand really makes it feel like you are holding something premium in your hand...im sure the sgs2 will follow the same lead with hardware being better, but i have no faith in their ability to deliver on thevsoftware front........i bet the evo 3d will get ice cream sandwich before the sgs2 at least by 6 months.

I pretty much agree with both of these guys. Consider that the 3d has had 3 OTAs to fix "bugs" and it's only been a week. The hold up for Gingerbread to show up on the Evo 4G was more due to the fact that the Nexus S was the only device allowed to have Gingerbread for a certain period of time as per Google. As soon as that time frame was up, HTC and Motorola both had Gingerbread for their flagship phones... The Epic and some other Galaxy S phones are still waiting.
I think HTC and Motorola are sharing the title of "King of the Hill" when it comes to android phones. I personally like HTC's hardware better. They both have provided similar (i.e. good) support to their user community. Motorola's success I attribute to the "Droid" marketing campaign by Verizon, but they have backed that up with action and performance. Will have to see how the Photon pans out, though.

The phone has only been "officially" out for 4 days, not even a week yet. HTC seems to be working hard to keep the bugs to a minimum (of course opening up the bootloader is another thing entirely).

I tend to agree with everyone here for the most part, although the Photon looks pretty sick imo. I do like HTC better but we are not 100% sure that the 3d will be rooted yet are we? I have seen conflicting results. The specs on the Photon seem a bit better than the 3d in some aspects. As far as the other two go I won't get either of those. It would only be between the Photon and this 3d right now.
On a better note I don't understand why people had to pay for their 3d's, makes me feel good. I didn't pay a dime, just gave them my EVO back and dude gave me the 3d. Even got my girl her first smartphone, the LG optimus, decent unit also for absolutely nothing. Guess it helps when the manager at that store wants to keep your business. Not to mention a free screen protector and case.
Lucky I guess.
Very curious about the Photon. Has intrigued my interest.
Thanks for everyone's input.
So I found out what I'm going to do, and the manager actually suggested I do this. Basically I am going to wait for the release date to be announced as far as the photon goes. Hopefully it is within my 30 day trial for my 3d, if it isn't, on the 28th day of my trial I will be taking my 3d in and getting another 3d therefore resetting my 30 day time period, then once I get the photon if I don't like it I will just switch back to the 3d.
So it's looking like a win win here.
Just posted this so that other people can do it if they so choose.

You can only do the exchange once per ugrade... and you can't do it on the same phone. You can get a replacement if there's a problem, but you can't just exchange for one of the same thing. You can return it, but then if you get another 3D, you won't get another 30 day grace-period.
Either they lied to you to get you to shut up and buy the phone, or that manager is an idiot.

im pretty sure exchanging doesn't reset your 30-day
what would keep people from endlessly exchanging after 28 days to keep their return window?

Well when he loses his job, feel free to pay his rent for him. You can return the phone for any reason within 30 days, but you can't just keep exchanging. I'm sure that will throw a flag up in Sprint's database real quick.
If you get away with it, all the more power to you... but if you get stuck with a phone that you don't actually want because you're trying to leapfrog a free ticket and your friend ends up jobless... it's your own fault.

Actually I just got off the phone with Sprint and the process is allowed, to a certain extent. Not sure why your so mad, but to each their own. Why would I pay someone's rent for someone? That has nothing to do with anything, and I doubt he is going to do something like that if it would cost him his job. Get real.

I'm not mad about anything, just pointing out that doing something sneaky and underhanded like allowing someone to leapfrog their contract and 30 day return is a good way for someone to lose their job.
Apparently you didn't get what I meant by paying his rent... I guess I have to type things very literally so it doesn't go over people's heads. If he loses his job, he won't have any money. If he doesn't have money, he can't pay rent. If he can't pay rent because he lost his job for you... then it goes back to what I said before.
If it were allowed at all, nobody would ever be locked into a contract, because we'd all just keep leapfrogging our phones around every 30 days to something else, or even the same thing.
Anyway, pick which phone you want, it's all up to personal preference. I got my EVO 3D because it's the EVO's big brother (shouldn't say that, someone might not understand...). Alright, it's the EVO's successor, so it was a logical choice for me because of how well my EVO has treated me. Don't let everyone else decide which phone you should get, you're the one that will be using it.

1: I am an asshole
2: I wouldn't do what you're doing, as I get a phone that I want, I don't need the next best thing every month. I got the 3D as my phone for the next year at least, regardless of the other phones that are around the corner
3: Pick a phone that's good for you, but because you obviously need the biggest ego around, keep trying to hop around to make sure you have the best phone possible. The 3D section of XDA doesn't need you here, good luck on the Nexus S, Epic, or Photon boards...
I wanted to help net get a 3d so he can work on making a bomb kernel for our Phones once we get root! Because we will get root eventually! Anywhozle please state your donation and stay true to it, anything will help.... he said himself he will try to work on it. When I asked if he wanted the help in getting the fone, he modestly replied:
netarchy: "ticklemepinks, that's a loaded question heh, I won't turn it down, but I'm not going to solicit people about it either. if I get the phone, I'll work on it is about all I will say in that regard"

Since this thread has apparently been relocated, and the issues I raised with the original approach the OP took have been fixed, I can confirm that any donations going through the chipin link in the original posters post are indeed being directed at me for the purposes of raising funds to acquire an Evo 3D.
If the community sees fit to buy me the phone, I will be happy to develop for it, but I will not promise unrealistic miracles.
I can't promise that you'll suddenly win the lottery, or have better luck in life.
I can promise that any android device I own will get development time from me (yes that includes kernel development).
You should not feel obligated in any way to participate. The fact is, even if I don't get the phone, there is inevitably going to be a strong development community behind this phone. A good portion of teamwin have the phone, and given the strong sales it's a safe bet that there will be many other developers as well. Any participation in the OP fundraiser should be considered completely voluntary; I will not solicit anyone in this regard.

Net is one of my favorite developers and I can only WISH he would join the 3D family.
And how is this against the rules? This is done in every other phone section.. whats wrong with being here??

I do not care if they do this i just see no reason to raise $549.00 when you can get the same thing for $400 to $450 elsewhere.
The op just did it wrong i think is why many are upset because no way to track how much and my reason why $549? that is sprints over priced price not what you can get them for.
Id use 1 of my upgrades and sell it for $425 bingo saved 100$ already.See what i mean by the op? he just did it wrong is all.

I admit that I groaned when I saw this thread but I have to say that I applaud the idea. Maybe a better method could be suggested? I have no idea what that is though. I know this has been done in the past but, to be honest, I've never paid much attention to "donation" threads.
I would be happy to donate $$ to get netarchy this phone. Not just to get him to root it, but for all he's given to this community!
sent my $5. i know it isnt much, but every lil bit helps
wait would he be coming over from Verizon? sprint gives 125 for jumping carriers and the 3VO is only 200 on new plans...they might even buy his old/other phone from him....im not sure if they will from another carrier but they bought my evo 4g back from me for 150. Phone only cost me 50 bucks.
Hello,
I wan to buy a evo 3d for my birthday.
Can anybody explain me why I have to buy it? And why not? (+/-)
Are games like GTA avaidable and playable? I have a itouch 2g now and im getting sick of the error not avaidable. And a Wildfire, Same problem
Hoe good are the 3D effects? Comes it Out your screen?
Are there 3D games and movies avaidable?
The difference between the evo and the sensation?
Thank you.
Evo 3D is a good phone, a bit heavy and steady, 3D is good and effective but not "impressive" (you have to find yourself at the very right location, unlike a 3D screen with glasses) and the 2D / 3D camera... just sucks : blurry, laggy, a hell of a deception. For that matter, choose another model or brand.
Kochise
when is your birthday and how much are you willing to spend?
the 3d is a great phone but its almost 1 yr old and thats pretty dated in technology world. But up to you, im happy with my phone as it outperforms anything thats comparable in specs. but to each his own
Because it doesnt look like the other phones and its so thick, fat, big and radical
Anyway the Backside is sexy
@ktrotter11
The Evo isnt one year old... 6 months
If you're interested in seeing the 3D effects, no one here can really justify an answer. It's really something you just have to experience yourself, and judge whether you like it or not. Not everyone is able to see it well. I, myself, have no problems with it at all. I could watch an entire movie on it and not get a headache or anything.
My suggestion (not sure how it works where you're from), go to your carrier's store and play around with one. If that's not possible, see if anyone you know has one and play around with it for a few minutes.
I started a similar topic just now :/

I was in same position, asda offer this phone for £250, decide to "upgrade" to evo 3d, what a mistake, I have phone from Saturday morning, already 7 times switch off itself, sorry, but no, thank you very much, already I find thanks to xda and google, this is very common problem with evo's. Mine dhd never once switch off herself, and what a phone. Tomorrow asda will take it back, I will hold to dhd - in april come ics, don't mind wait month longer opposite evo for ICS...
You should look somewhere in a store if you like the 3D. If you want a good camera and dont like the 3D so much, then you could better buy a Sensation or some other phone. For me the extra RAM was a big plus of the Evo 3D, but 1gb is kinda standard on the phones from now. Games like GTA will be playable for sure, but think some older phones might also with some lag moments sometimes.

Lol sucks to have problems like that..... Dont know about the motherboard problem. For me the Evo 3D is an awesome phone. I love it, never had strange problems that I couldnt solve.

..........................
The price in my country for the Evo 3d is €350, or in dollars $463.
The Sensation cost € 382,50, and in dollars $507.
Phones like the samsung g S2 cost € 466, $617,61
I hope I can get €200 (total) for my old phone and Ipod, and i get around €100 from my parents.
I maybe sometimes got a bit feeling that its coming out the screen, most of the time you can see depth in the screen.
Lol Sensation is an older phone, if you wont use camera a lot then the Evo is better for sure.
So before I buy the Evo from Asda in the UK. What's the issue with hboot 1.49 based phones? Do they have a mad mobo or something?
If you do little bit research on xda and google, you can find how many people return them, I should done research first, same me time for transfering all data to evo and back to dhd, dhd is THE BEST...

Why? Because I know someone that is willing to sell their brand new E3D for $325. =)

I have a Evo 3D myself but would prefer the Galaxy nexus given a chance:
- If you are into rooting, Evo 3D has (IMO) best choice and variety of ROM's and has one of the most active developer community.
- There are 3D games and movies available and for a first time viewer/player, you would be enthralled. It could cause eye pain if prolonged viewing.
- Has a microSD and thus unlimited storage (Nexus does not)
However, do remember that Evo3D is nearing a year since its release which in cell phone terms means almost nearing end of life.
-- Just my 2 cents!

Any product can have a problem... why didn't you take it back and ask for a replacement? If you got a second one and it did the same.. surely then you would be in a position to complain about it and be a little respected?
I'm sorry you had an issue (I'm not an Evo 3D owner), but this really isn't fair on the product.
Because I spotted an little dust part under the screen off mine HTC Evo 3D i'm saying goodbye to it and selling it and I already find an buyer, just hope he keeps his promise and transfers the money Tuesday.
I really like the HTC Evo 3D, its an great smartphone and the 3D is an nice extra to have on your phone. Still I'm saying goodbye to it, only because off this issue, it really saddens me.
Its not really visible, so that's an good thing, because saying in an advertisement about the dust part would push the price down even though its an new phone and there by the new owner can also claim the warranty.
There are a few things that also saddens me about the HTC Evo 3D and one off is the plastic back off it, I really need use power to get it off and every time I'm afraid off breaking it.
And it is kind off an heavy phone, but that I took for granted. So where I go from here? I was thinking off buying HTC One X or HTC One S, but I would also like an tablet, only problem with most tablets you can't use an simcard.
And first I though about just going to get an new HTC Evo 3D, but because the new generation devices are coming now I will not do that. The HTC One X costs new € 551.
Another option is an tablet like the iPad, please don't shoot me, I know iOS is a closed system, but their new iPad costs the same as an HTC One S, only problem that's the WiFi version and its a little big to carry in mine pocket.
But it would be great for on the go for like watching movies. Either way I don't really like closed system iOS and its not as adjustable as HTC Sense. So I think HTC One X would be an better choice.
Wow

Yeah it just been two weeks. When I got the money I could in fact get an new Evo 3D for € 20 less, but then I need to go to the same store as where I bought the one I got now, that is honestly an faster option then sending the one I have now for warranty.
First I was thinking, sell it and go to that store and buy an new one and hope it doesn't have the dust issue problem, but on internet I read it happens alot with HTC Evo 3D.
Now I'm thinking, sell it and add about € 270 and I can buy an HTC One X, as what for sense would it make to buy an new Evo 3D again as the HTC One X is released soon. Although I could still go and buy an new HTC Evo 3D as its right now € 269 in that same store, I payed € 289 and that is what I sell it for to, I just added the TPU case and spare battery.
Could always order new one off that. I'm just afraid that new one would get dust under the LCD screen to. Or did I just have bad luck with mine HTC Evo 3D? Well what would you guys say? I do like the 3D off HTC Evo 3D and its an great phone.
Should I just buy an new one again and give it an second change and hope that with this one nothing is wrong, that was mine original plan anyway when I came back and decided to sell this one now.
Oh yeah? Yeah.
I think an iPad is a great idea.

I would so laugh if the buyer sends it back because you haven't described the dust problem.

Ok dexter here's a little insight. First the reason there is dust under the screen is because the way they adhere the digitizer to the lcd . It's put together with adhesive on the edge of the lcd to make repair easier and cheaper. The new one x and one s is put togther by using a zero gap technology. Which apple and Samsung and the orignal Sony super lcd was suppose to use. So the new phones HTC is coming out with will not suffer with dust issue (don't quote me) because the whole screen and digitzer is glued together.

Well you know he doesn't have such rights as its an private sale. And like explained in post above the Evo 3D just suffering from that so it belongs to this phone, you have to live with it or send it for warranty.
Its not something I need put in the advertisement. But yeah if I didnt spot it then I would not have though off selling it, but I can not really see it, so the buyer will not see it to and when he does then he can contact HTC for the warranty or life with it.
I know its cruel selling an device because its imperfect, but its still new and if I read online then this dust is like an dead pixel, if its just one then its acceptable.

Is this only an issue with HTC Evo 3D? With mine HTC Desire HD I never had such issues. I'm just afraid if I would buy an new Evo 3D that it will have the same issue. I read stories on internet about people who got about 5 replacements and in end decided to keep the one with most less dust under the screen.
That's shady....just sayin

Of course he has rights, you are selling something as new when it isn't, imagine if YOU were receiving the so called as new phone and noticed the dust, you'd be annoyed wouldn't you? It's people like you who give honest sellers a bad name, I honestly hope the sale doesn't go through to teach you a lesson.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m
The device is in perfect shape, it just got an small little dust under the screen which you don't see unless you have light on it, like with this picture I used flash off mine camera to capture it.
Can I find it now? Well no I can't find any more. So its not something I need put in an advertisement, I put in advertisement, its 2 weeks old and in new state, I didn't put in advertisement its new, no its in new state, so almost new.
If I was selling it as new then it would be shady. New state just means its only used for short while and like new.

No he hasnt have any rights in my country. He buys an device that is in new state and it is in new state, that is got the dust issue, but its just one which you can't really see, because I asked some people today and most off them didnt see it, so its something I kinda got an eye for spotting, but others don't see it, but I do. well its new state, not new.
And you know, one thing I have learned from internet, on internet no one is telling the 100% truth, so why should I mention non issues, I also not mentioned with mine HTC Desire HD that it had an scratch and I mentioned it not for same reason as the dust, because you can't really see.
In advertisement he reacted on I writhed new state. But I understand your reaction. But I'm not scamming, I'm just not putting non issues in the advertisement. Its an issue for me, but I think 1 dust part is acceptable, I would have kept it myself if my eyes weren't like that they keep finding it even though its so hard to spot it.
I see good from close distance but not in far distance, for far distance I use glasses.
You know its even so terrible in mine that if someone scams you and you know who did that you probably will never see you money back, but I'm not scamming anyone, I just sell an phone as new state and new state difference from new.
I'm Dutch so excuse me for translating sometimes words wrong, like I put in title new and probably also put it in other messages in English.
Cool story bro
Sorry....just wanted to say it

I agree whole hartedly. You need to tell someone what defects are with the phone, even if it works 100%.

Good luck with selling your phone if you need tell non issues.
I just choose to make very good pictures and be honest I can not find it right now. So really no reason to tell that if even I can't find right now. But on other hand I would never buy an second hand phone and also not in new state like I'm selling myself, everything I buy is new, so you can see mine exceptions are much higher then the person who wanna buy it from a private who sells its 2 weeks used phone.
They just buy it from an private to save some bucks.

But well what you guys think, going to HTC One X from here would be better right? I just kinda wonder did I get unlucky or many HTC Evo 3D have the dust issue? As I still consider it as an great phone and that is also why I'm thinking of buying an new one after I sold the one I have now.
So, basically, you're saying that you're not going to inform the buyer of the issue that is causing you to sell the phone because you're afraid he won't buy it and then criticising people on the internet for not telling the truth about stuff. Seems legit.

You can see it like that. And basically I'm doing it because MediaMarkt doesn't want to give me an new one, they drive me insane, so only solution I could though is get rid off it and buy an new one as it's now € 269 and i'm selling mine for € 295, the buyer said he really wanted it. But on internet I find also some threads that some people with the Evo 3D kept getting Evo 3D's with this issue.
So this is the way I can do it to. I really like this phone, it got an great feature set. And in fact I like the 3D feature set, its something other models, even HTC One X not has.
Great Novel Broham!
So you came in here to explain that you are scamming someone to sell your EVO3D too?.....why post this?....it is pretty clear you are bragging about not being completely truthful about the condition of the device and in turn misleading the buyer!...
All b/c you can't get your way on something so you in turn "screw" someone else....nice logic!
At first I was going to report the thread b/c it gets old hearing about ppl come and just post that they are leaving for another device...but after reading this, it became clear that it would be better if others can see this so they know to completely avoid any and all transactions with you going forward...
Its people that do things like this that make me sick to be honest...grow up bud and handle your own problems, dont shove them off to someone else like you are attempting to do...
What a douche. Hope everything you purchase is defective. Don't understand how you think It's okay, to do what you're doing.

Well if you dont know then you could google and find out pretty easily ya know....
Basically is a challenge b/w ur phone and the windows phone in doing task X...dont think you get to pick your task up front and only get told right before which task it is. Like some are total boot up from shutdown, uploading a picture, taking a picture, posting somewhere, and other simple tasks you could do on the phone...
honestly I thought the challenge was over in April myself...
