Okay guys in United states ! I'm planning to buy a evo 3d but in Europe we're still waiting for it (now we get Lg Thrill...). I can't find any help regarding camera quality, compared to our x 10 (in 5 Mpx).
Since you have the evo 3d, can someone compare to our x10 sensor ?
Thanks !!
Our camera is way better. For making videos the evo is better because of its fullhd support. Htc cameras are always crap for taking photos

Here's a review of the EVO 3D:
www.phonearena.com/reviews/HTC-EVO-3D-Review_id2768
The reviewer says the photos taken are just average in quality. There are also samples in the article.
My girlfriend has an EVO 4G, and I hate that results of that camera. When doing indoor shots without flash you'll end up with lots of blurry, dark, and grainy pictures. It also does not support macro which is a big fail given that the EVO 4G (or the 'Supersonic' elsewhere) was considered one of the best Android phones a year ago.
I have never been impressed with HTC camera quality. In fact I strongly believe there cameras are garbage. Thats just one reason why Ill never own a HTC device again.

Only problem I have with x10 camera is that taking good photos takes alot of practice.
So if I want to be in a picture and I need someone else to take the photo....well they just struggle and then insult my beloved phone... :,(

My phone is a HTC and pics arent as good but you can't really tell the difference unless ur a photophile. Go over to the evo forums and ask the same question. You're obviously going to have biased answers depending on which forum.
IMHO, HTC cameras are a piece of crap and nowhere to be compared to an X10.. not even the mini.. But that's just me.
go to gsmarena and do some comparisons and read the reviews..

im pretty sure if they wanted to make a phone with a good camera they'd make it 10 times better than our x10's camera...
Thanks a lot for your answers
On x10, I can shoot in macro mode with (often) increible quality. But when it comes to shoot a bit far things, quality is very random.
It's very hard to tell because it's personal opinion, I know it will sound different if I post such topic on HTC forum
And... Kinda harder, Optimus 3D (aka Thrill) vs EVO 3D vs x10 ? It looks the two 3d devices are almost the same. Some reviewers will soon do a big 3d compete (HTC, lg, Nintendo 3ds, g-slate, pro camera)...
I do try to find out what's the best device for shooting in these three phones
Problem solved : I've actually ordered a Galaxy SII
I've compared HTC Sensation vs SII vs x10 thanks to GSMArena.
Sensation was fantastic as video recorder (in test) : very detailled, perfect fluidity, good saturation...
I finally chose the SII because :
- Saturation is less (altough I prefer Sensation saturation)
- Less contrast and less destructive colors
- Sensation adds noise to several colors, and it can be VERY destructive on some photos...
Guess the SII is very good choice, crazy power, good photos, I'd prefer to give Sense UI a try but Sensation lacks of ram
Hi folks,
I'm hoping to pick your brains for advice and info on the Evo 3D.
I'm an ex HTC Desire owner and HTC Sense fan, after selling my desire I bought a sim free Incredible S, but after trying 3 different handsets all 3 were returned due to signal loss on the O2 network.
I'm now looking for my next phone (sim free non contract) and I'm struggling to settle on a good one! I thought I was set on the standard HTC Sensation, but after seeing numerous mentions of 'dust under screen', poor battery life, death grip etc, I have to say that I've just about given up on it.
The other phone on my list is the Samsung Galaxy S II, however it's not going to have HTC Sense and I'm not a great fan of Touchwiz. I've also just seen mention of a screen burn type problem which is a bit of a concern. The other specs look quite good for the phone though.
This evening I stumbled on the Evo 3D forum! The phone looks quite nice, it has Sense, it has 3D features which don't really interest me. I also spotted a couple of familiar names in the rom dev section, LeeDroid and Baadnewz .... I thought you guys had Sensations?
So after all that waffle, what I'm really after are your opinions on the Evo 3D, what would you say are the pros and cons, what should I be aware of?
Would you still recommend the Evo 3D, given what you know now from your own experience?
Thanks very much!
I got the EVO3D mainly because I wanted to get the Sensation but I read a review that said ther EVO3D was very similar - so I went for it.
I'm happy so far - I feel as though I have an upgraded Desire HD in all aspects. The phone is probably not as fast as the SGSII, and doesn't have an 8mp/1080p camera, but other than that it seems pretty solid so far.
How's the battery life with yours?
The battery life is roughly 50% better than with the DesireHD. It lasts me through the day with no issues.
I'd wager it'd last 1.5 days in most scenarios
Any advice from other Evo owners?
I came from the EVO 4G. The 3D is faster, has more storage, and better battery life. I would recommend using a good ROM (like Warm 2.3 when its final) and maybe playing with some Kernels to get even better battery life. The 3D features are pretty useless to me personally.
A have seen at least two XDA posters in the Mynion threads talk about getting the GSII and then deciding to go back to HTC with the 3D. If you plan on using stock roms, Samsung's TouchWhiz (or whatever they call it) is far inferior to the work HTC has done with the Sense UI. I hate Samsung's proprietary UI stuff. If you plan to flash custom ROMs anyway, this isnt as much of an issue. I also feel like HTC is quicker/better about getting updates out timely and supporting aging devices. Samsung "has been" notoriously bad enough this.
Sensation been great for me but every device is different so base your purchase on what works for you. Every phone has a batch of bad phones so get insurance and get a phone there all the same at the end of the day. And like he said it so many kernals out there that
fit your needs that you'll be happy with anyone I those phones.

Just to clarify, does the Evo have the antenna as part of the back cover like the Sensation and Incredible S do?
Any death grip problems? Any screen issues, i.e dust getting under it?
Thanks again.
I came from the Evo 4g and have seen a night and day difference in the battery life. I can go the whole day with no issues. I also have rooted it and currently have Virus' Eternity 1.4.2 rom and stock kernel. The speeds are decent with the stock kernel and the battery life is good which is the main reason I haven't switched kernels yet. I recommend the 3d. I like the capability of watching 3d movies on my phone since I'm on the go most of the time it gives me the ability to watch 3d movies on a plane or where ever else I might be.
i too came from an evo, but i absolutely love the 3vo! at first i thought 3d was just a gimick, but it makes this phone a true show piece! processor is a nice lil upgrade to 1.2 which is plenty enough. plus....you can't beat the development on it! good luck!
Hi there. i have used both sensation and evo 3d
These 2 are both good phone, but, i liked the evo 3d much more for
1- the grip is far better from the sensation which have a nice design,but, not so comfortable to hold ( a bit slippery ) while in sensation you will feel much comfortable grip.
2- the response speed with sensation is beautiful and faster that the sensation.
3- the 3D screen is really nice. try downloading some videos and see for yourself. I personally liked it for videos and photos.
4- battery is good. It lasts a day without any problem with fair usage and data on.
I would vote for the evo 3d no dought. it is a very good device
Thanks
What do the Evo owners think to the still and video camera comparisons shown in the link below, would you say it's a fair representation? The Evo camera doesn't look so good in the review.
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_3d_vs_htc_sensation_4g_head_to_head-review-626.php
The Sensation camera is a bit better of course, but, i did not see that the evo camera is not good.
i like the quality which i am getting from the camera. it is pretty good unless you want a unprofessional pic, then you will need a pro camera.
in summery the shots you get is pretty good since it is a phone cam not a pro cam.
I liked the clarity and colors
still it is a personal preference in the end and that was my opinion
I hope i was hepfull
I'm seeing conflicting information regarding the 2D video recording, some info states that the Evo records at 30fps, but I've also seen 24fps mentioned. Can anyome confirm either as being correct?
What do you guys think about the HTC Vivid? I am trying to decide on this or the vivid.. vivid is cheaper, but the amaze fits my style more. the screen looked darker and more deep colors on the vivid and on the amaze they looked kinda washed out for some reason on a video i watched comparing them. also thinking about the sgs II on tmo. i havent had a samsung since the behold 2 which i told myself after that id never touch one again but it seems they are learning not to fu** up so much now lol. kinda.
Just want to hear peoples opinions on these phones, and their experiances. etc
I just came from the sensation and i liked it more than i thought (from reading reviews). mine just had a messed up screen and dont feel like having 200mb ram free all the time.
I used to work for Tmobile so I dealt with many phones. I'd say get the amaze. Samsung's phones feel cheap and make out of plastic. When you hold the amaze, it is heavier but you can tell its real durable. I'm not a fan of touchwiz. I used to recommend the vibrant to customers who are new to android. I feel that HTC is a better manufacturer and has better customer service.

There are plenty of reviews in the general section already, try a couple pages back. There's a thread sgs2 vs amaze and another "opinion" thread somewhere. You might find a lot of crap and dispute in there... some i contributed lol.
but yeah not sure why amaze only has the washed out display... hopefully in the near future they will find a better display manufacturer, but honestly, it doesn't bother me very much.
think of the vivid to amaze as like getting the regular sgs2 from at&t vs the skyrocket.
samsung sgs2 (t989/hercules/tmobile) is actually a good phone so don't let its predecessor scare you.
However, its all about user preference.. you should check out both phones before laying the $$$$ out.
here are some key things
SGS2 pluses
- Faster/stronger wifi gps bt connection compared to its predecessor.. amaze is similar in comparison
- longer battery life than amaze
- screen is more vibrant... like how you explained the htc vivid screen.. however i don't like the blue tint.. it hurts my eyes reading text with blue background.
-better sound recording (amaze records stereo sounds, but for some reason it isn't as clear.. still "normal" though
HOWEVER AMAZE pluses
- better resolution, things just pops out more. more definition in games, videos, ui, etc.
- better camera + dedicated buttons
- better in hand feel
amaze however has the softkey LED bleed which is fixed when disabled.
if you don't mind the shorter battery life compared to SGS2 than go with the amaze. But if you're someone like my sister who always complains about battery life all the time even though she has access to USB and outlet ports all day at her work than go with the sgs2. They totally beat us in battery life right now, but hopefully our new kernels would help some.
I owned the Vivid for a short time and I loved it. The screen is great. I hated AT&T (and didn't feel like paying another bill so Igot rid of it)and went with the Amaze. Everything about the Amaze is better except I really liked that 4.5in screen. That's my opinion. Hope it helped.

Thanks for the replies guys. here is the video on the vivid and amaze: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyWVbbhFY04
I thought they had the same screen is what got me? Yeah i love the feeling my sensation had, the aluminum and the heavyness. i felt like i was holding what i paid for. no matter, i usally buy rough cases for my phones. I honesly think the only way id get the sgs ii titanium is if i couldnt afford the htc amaze. i could easily get a sgs ii under $350, not the case with the amaze =/ and dedicated camera key is one of my favorite things about it. i hope htc resolves the backlight bleeding on the amaze.
lol yeah im not a fan of TW either, but thats what rooting is for i am however a fan of sense, i always have been and will be. ive been with htc since the G1 and the only phones i really have had a problem with is the mytouch line.. never touching those things again haha. my brother has the incredible and that is probably one of the most solid phones ive ever used, too bad i dont have verizon. also another thing, ive never had my hands on a phone with a amoled + or whatever samsung is calling these superduper amoled screens nowadays lol. ive only had my hands on SLCD which i love, colors look natural. blacks could be more black but eh. nokias clearblack screens are amazing, htc could use some
this is another issue i have had with more than one HTC phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401030 i hope to never see it again, it caused dead pixels on my hd7 and was started to get bad on my sensation.

Unless your Vivid comes shipped with S-OFF you can't have perm root which means no custom roms or kernels which means no free tethering, etc. This is one reason why I was so against the merger to begin with b/c I didn't want to be stuck with AT&T that wants to lock up their phones true potential.

wait, so the vivid will never get s-off? that might be a deal breaker for me.. i love sense but i like to have full control over my phone, att is annoying. right now the vivid is about $50 cheaper which is also very nice.
The Vivid got 1.2Ghz and no NFC but NFC is not worth for now.
But no android beam for Vivid after ICS upgrade.
The Amaze and SGS2 got NFC so it is not a issue with them.
Also check out AMOLED burn-in before you buy Galaxy S2. (Like XDA galaxy s2 forum)
Many people are facing status bar burn-in.
Compared to Sensation
Vivid -> bigger screen + ram/storage + 1.3M front cam
GSG2-> Bigger better SAMOLED screen + ram/storage + NFC + 1.5Ghz + 2M front cam
Amaze-> ram/storage + NFC + 1.5Ghz + 2M front cam.

yeah.. i guess it depends on what i want the most then. amaze and sgs ii have screen issues. vivid has less FFCmp. im sure nfc will get bigger once ICS hits all phones. ive never held a 4.5" screen before. biggest ive held is the sensation and my old hd7 which i thought was perfect. sure colors look good on the sgs ii but i hate how everything is big and bold cause low dpi, i love qHD.
what do you mean by the vivid not getting beam on ICS?
ICS has something call Android Beam that you can share webpage and data using NFC.
Sensation and Vivid don't have NFC therefore, they can't use Android Beam feature in ICS. If you are not a big fan of sharing files and web pages with other, it is not much problem. But to me, sharing webpage and data through bluetooth and wifi are really pain in a ass.

Haha, almost in the same situation as you, dropped my Sensation from 50ft, had to go back to my Nexus One for two months and hated it after having a big screen, front facing camera, and dual core proc. I recently got an Amaze off insurance and man, this thing kills the Sensation feature wise. The only difference is about 256MB more ram (which really helps), NFC, and a 1.5GHz stock speed (instead of the stock speed of 1.2GHz on the Sensation, but you could overclock without any ill effects to 1.5GHz). But if you can shell out the extra cash, get the Amaze. The only gripes I have right now are some light bleeding from the capacitive buttons but you can turn them off with screen filter, and it's a little bit bulkier, but barley noticeable.
Amaze.
Amaze goes up to 42MB with HSPA+
Sensation goes up to 14.4MB. It doesn't have HSPA+.
Amaze has a 1.5GHz Dual Core
Sensation has a 1.2GHz Dual Core
Amaze runs really smooth. My brother has the Sensation and my phones runs better.
Plus hes running my old rom he will want to come here
I say if you like roms, get sensation, amaze forums are a ghost town comparatively my gf sold her sensation to get an amaze, and that lasted only a week, it was a downgrade

sensation has been out longer than the amaze. amaze has only been out for about two months where as the sensation has been out for six months...we are getting more roms, themes and support as time passes...My gf has the sensation and I'll tell you the Amaze feels much better, besides the flash bleed into the camera (easy fix), you are getting the best camera on the market...doesn't even compare to the sensation camera, I've played with both...I don't like the feel of the sensation...Overall amaze is a much better phone with some downfalls...like the screen bleed which I didn't even notice until people started mentioning it...and the camera flash bleed which is fixable with electrical tape...we have faux and xboarder and I think three other developers working on roms etc...I'm will talk to koush and see if he is willing to invest a little time in our community...I want to appreciate all the developers for their help.

The Sensation will be a year old 4 months, the Amaze is pretty new for all the devolopment it has. It will get better over here once we get CM fully working and ICS rolling. The Amaze also is more future proof with HTC updating it and has a much better camera. the RAM helps a lot too, that was one thing that bugged me about mine. i hated only have about 120mb of ram with just fb open or something
Ahh ok I'm deff gonna get the amaze then.. and what do you guys mean by bleeding? And yeah xboarder I liked your roms a lot when I had my G2, one of the most stable roms so ill deffinetley try yours firste when I get it my only thing is on the T-Mobile sit it didn't say anything about the Amaze having hotspot?

The capacitive buttons underneath the screen (home, menu, back, and search) when they light up the bottom of the screen is noticably brighter. So if you have a black screen and the buttons are lit up then for an inch or so at the bottom it will gradient from a lighter shade to actual black. There are some pictures in a thread called screen bleeding on the second or third page of this forum that show it.
I just downloaded Screen Filter which disables the light to the buttons like the previous poster mentioned which stops the screen bleeding.
And yea get the Amaze for sure, best phone I've had. Battery is a little lacking but with this ROM + perhaps an AceSoft battery (2 for $30) you may get decent life.
The amaze is a better phone to the sensation in every I can't use my amaze right now and I'm using the sensation and I hate after using the amaze even with ics the amaze is just smoother and a better phone. The camera, processor speed, data speeds, build quality, front cam, storage, nfc, and battery for me are all better then the amaze. The only advantage of the sensation is that it has more roms but x here does some great stuff and slowly more devs may get this phone as its still a pretty spendy device.

Mt friend got a Sensation and we noticed the Mic was not working well. Sound quality on voice calls were noticably bad. Maybe it was specific to that unit, idk?
My Amaze doesn't have that problem or any others for that matter.
Just short battery life!
Other than that, it is hands down the best smart phone I've had yet, it actually does everything, simultaneously.
I stream music, surf and make/receive calls or use Google nav., all at the same time. With little or no hiccups.

Some of you already know that a few of us from the HTC Elevate have the new HTC DROID DNA. Since this thread open some of us have answer your question that you may have about the new device. We have no problem answer your questions or showing photos of the device. But for the life of me and others please please stop the trolling. We are just like you, a phone junkie and have likes and/or dislikes. No one said the phone was the greatest thing ever made. No one said we are sells people. No one said buy just HTC. I have a few non-HTC phones that I like (SIII). So yes it's true a few people have the phone and yes we can answer your questions. But let's be real with the questions please. Please ask away about the phone and I'll tell you the truth about the phone. I have nothing to hide to you all and I like rooting my devices too.
From your personal use of the device. Does it suffer from previous common HTC issues.
Heating issues? Previous HTC devices suffered from heating issues even when not charging or playing a game
How does overall performance differ from The Exynos on the GS3 and the Tegra3 on the One X?
Is it similar to the Rezound where it was "technically" sim unlock out of the box, but some common features like sms were nonfunctional because a lack of proper framework support?
Really the only big question I have that I haven't seen asked is whether or not HTCDev works. Thanks

How much of the 16GB is available to the end user without any rooting or modifications?

Sorry if these are 'harsh' questions, I can assure you I am not trolling and would love your feedback! Thanks!
Battery life? and How much screen on time?
I've read a lot of hands-on previews and seen lots of hands-on videos. Was wondering what the actual thickness of this phone is. I have a galaxy s iii too! CNET and several other places are quoting that the HTC reps are saying it is thinner than the GSIII. I really don't see it. It looks kind of chunky to be honest. Places like GSMArena and PhoneArena are listing it as 9.7mm as well, which is thicker than the 8.6mm on the GSIII. So I'm confused. I hope its thinner though...
What type of soft touch is the back? Is it just like the One X, or is it more like the HTC 8X? The 8X feels awesome BTW.
Those stripes on the side. Are they ridged and made of their own separate material and feel, or is it just a fancy painted on thing and is part of the same piece of polycarbonate as the back?
It seems to suffer from the same shiny fingerprint look as the One X. Is there any improvement from the One X in this regard? One X also had perma-shiny, where rubbed off areas were permanently shiny. Seen any in the DNA?
How good are the loudspeakers? I heard there was an amplifier or something for the loudspeaker in addition to the headphone jack. The GSIII aren't much better than the GSII. I think the One X had a bit better speakers. But the Galaxy Note has awesome speakers. Don't sound tinny nor distorted. Fuller than most smartphone speakers. Almost as good as the crappy speakers in my car if you turn it up, minus the bass. Where does the DNA fall in this spectrum?
Do you see any improvement in the camera? I've seen sample shots and the colors look a bit better. On the One X, the colors seemed way off to me. I also saw a sample video. It looked smooth, but it was short. The One X had choppy video and smeared a lot. How much has improved in this department?
Are the screen colors more accurate than the One X? The One X skewed a bit too yellowish/orange and overly warm for my tastes. Also, has the reflections lessened? The GSIII had little to no reflections compared to the One X. What about contrast with the brightness set low? I wasn't really impressed with the One X's contrast when set to low brightness for nighttime or indoor usage.
Is this a Verizon only thing? Because it is kind of lame for people like me who buy GSM phones that can be used on either AT&T or T-mobile. Maybe there's a sim slot and its a world phone? Probably not...
Thanks for looking!
Please can you shed some light on improvements in camera department if any !
Thanks in advance
Does it come unlocked so that I can buy it outright and use it with a different carrier?
Do you know anything about an upcoming international version?

Heating issues? Previous HTC devices suffered from heating issues even when not charging or playing a game
How does overall performance differ from The Exynos on the GS3 and the Tegra3 on the One X?
Is it similar to the Rezound where it was "technically" sim unlock out of the box, but some common features like sms were nonfunctional because a lack of proper framework support?

the camera on this thing is awesome, it has the same features as the one x by allowing burst mode with 4 shots a second, and the front facing camera has a wide angle lens like on the 8x. as usual htc outdid their selves with the camera on this thing

Sorry if these are 'harsh' questions, I can assure you I am not trolling and would love your feedback! Thanks!

out of the box i had about a little over 11 free
Can I take screen shots on this phone right out of the box? I'm guessing yes?

I would say the HTC 4.x is very lite. If you had the rezound or the SIII you should know about Scott's CleanRoms. To me Sense on the DNA is about as lite as CleanRom on the Rezound. I had no heating issues at all and I tested the phone hard last weekend when I was in Phoenix (4G). I love the SIII it's a great phone (the radio sucks but that's a Samsung thing) but hands down the DNA wins. The DNA is just fastest from the start, when I power on both phones (I did Odin back to stock) the DNA boot time is way faster. Apps, games and web searching the DNA is faster (I used my WiFi at home). The Rezound had bad framework support for global use if I remember right. Not 100% sure about global unlock sim with DNA and I have asked HTC about this for someone that asked the same question.

God I hope it does get listed, I need tethering and have to use my SIII at work just because of the tethering.

This is the part of the DNA I dislike, I asked over and over why only 16GB. When I first got the phone I forgot to check storage and had installed about 10 apps. When I did check I was around 11.5GB of phone storage. I have the Nexus 7 and it only has 16gb of storage. What I did is went out and got a micro USB flash drive cord. From what I have read from HTC Elevate site, the feedback is the same questions you all have. Why not sell the phone 16GB for $199 and a 32GB for $249. I can see down the road HTC comes out with a 32GB phone.

The only thing that is holding me back from getting this phone at this point in time is the battery. How does the battery fair in comparison to other phones, such as the s3?
Screen shot of my battery from last night.
LOL sorry I'll re-try again!!!!
