Has anyone purchased any lenses?
With the camera ring being metal, it would be great to put a magnetic lens on there. I see a lot for the iPhone, they seem pretty fun.

I tried it with my money clip, and the magnet stuck.
Isnt the CPU and SD card right by the lens? Dont think Ill be waving any magnets around mine, maybe Im just being overly cautious.
Must be something else inside of it then

Seems like it would be too weak to hurt anything.
"There's nothing magnetic in flash memory, so [a magnet] won't do anything," says Bill Frank, executive director of the CompactFlash Association. "A magnet powerful enough to disturb the electrons in flash would be powerful enough to suck the iron out of your blood cells," says Frank.

I've got one of those magnetic Macro lenses from my Og evo.. I'll test it out when I get home from work.
What about the Flash?
I think the flash might get blocked or be in the way

The flash isn't needed for those kind of shots so it should be ok.

Aghhh!!! Is anyone else having a hard time putting their back cover on perfectly? I've pressed down so hard on the area (mhl and above) and still won't budge! Any tips?

I have the opposite problem, I have a hard time getting the back cover off with fear of breaking it.

Same here. why couldnt they have the ones that slide off like the phones before. so much easier to take off.

I asked this same question few days ago also and the best tip I got was to start on the opposite side of the camera and peel it off..I now have replacement batteries to change every day and found out if you do it the way then just peel it open like a book ...you don't have to do it hard...it gets used to openning and comes right off. I really don't mind if the back falls off becuase I always have a case on it...hard it silicone and it hoods it in place. I still do this very carefully. I realize tho many will not like this...but I gotta work with what I have...don't like it....but till replacement backs come on the market...it will do.
Its like the area above the mhl has a gap no matter how hard I press it won't go down.

Never mind. HTC being the kick-ass company they are is sending me a new back cover free of charge!
Mine also has a small gap just beside the headphone jack. It just doesn't line up very well right there.

Anyone coming from the Original EVO, knows that in the Charge and HDMI port it contains red scratches...
Well the EVO 3D front housing has like gray scraches, I remember one time, they were some complains about the camera lens if you put it together in your pocket with your keys, well, the lenses pass the test but the front housing for me dint, I often put my keys and my phone in the same pocket and now I have some gray scraches, LOL

I'm reminded of something my dad used to always say:
A guy goes to the doctor and says, "It hurts when I do this" and the doctor replied, "Stop doing that."
Only thing going in my pocket when my phone is in there is my hand. It's pretty silly to think sharp metal objects won't scratch up a plastic device when they are moving around and rubbing each other.

I've scoured the interwebs/googled this to death to no avail, so i decided to ask here.
Would using two magnetic, camera phone lenses on the Evo 3D's cameras work. it seems no one's actually tried this.
I ask because, after watching a few GoPro 3D videos, i realized that GoPro cameras have a permanent wide-angle lens on it, and go curious as to whether it'd work on my phone as a less expensive solution.
I have one magnetic lens already which i use and love but i'd rather know it works before i spend the money. i don't understand the workings of stereoscopicy when using wide angle lense.
any help appreciated!
It would work as long as both lenses are identical. But I'd be nervous of bringing anything magnetic to any of my electronics. That's got a reputation of bad things... But maybe it's safe for a phone?

A lens that attaches magnetically, lol.
Lol i cant post a link because ima noob so ill just say that it's like i simplified camera lens that is smaller and made for cellohones. So instead of screwing it on like a regular camera, you stick a metal ring with adhesive around your phones camera and the lens has a magnet that sticks to this ring
I remember seeing something similar for the EVO 4G, and it worked pretty well.

I'm gonna be heading to the beach a lot this summer and I dont wanna put this phone somewhere on shore. I wanna keep it with me at all times. Anyone have something to protect against water?
I would avoid the beach at all costs. Between water and sand it's just a deadly combination for a cell phone.

I just went out on my seadoo rxp this past weekend with evo in tote. Went out in long beach harbor california. Was gonna settle on otterbox small case for 20 bucks but stumbled on a waterproof case down at Walmart for 6. It held registration, wallet, keys, and of course the EVO. Stayed dry all day even through my extreme play.

The exposed surfaces of the phone become what is called hydro phobic (literally "scared of water" but really just repels water). Like how water beads on a waxed car. However, so repelling of water that water can't get through cracks less than about a millimeter or so at close to surface pressures. Your phone has no holes that large but mic jack and USB, and while water goes into the big holes, it can't get past the smaller cracks inside them to get to circuitry.
That's the theory anyway. I'm still not going to try. I just stick my phone in zip lock bag whenever it might be exposed to water, like around the pool or in my sweaty pocket while mowing. Screen still works great, just follow usual precautions about sharp objects near phone (no keys in pocket).

Hey guys
I wanted to test the build quality of my phone so I took it out of the case. Amd grabbed it from both sides and slightly flexed it
It makes a bit of a creeking noise to which concerns me a little, could this be a fault and result in the waterprofness not working?
Let me know if it happens when if you flex yours, the sound seems to come from the lower right hand corner

I don't think putting it in your front pocket makes as big of a difference people think, I had it in there for a while without a case and my phone hasn't bent etc. But it's still a good question to ask, just a random statement from me lol

I'm not talking about bending. If you put some stress on something for a period of time, it'll start to weaken and then probably creek. I don't know how old you are, but i remember when i had the Nokia 3210/3310/3410 etc. which had plastic back covers, and they would start to creek like hell after i'd removed the covers a lot.
If your thigh bumps and puts stress on the frame of the Ultra for some time (walking and sitting a lot with it in your front pocket, for example), it'll start to creek. That, i can tell you.
