So I updated to ICS this morning, have a European phone running on Amaysim(Optus) in Australia.
Everything has been great except when I just tried the camera out
The screen displays 2D mode and 3D mode options(via switch) in 3D.
So 3D mode is fine, but when I take a photo in 2D mode the screen appears in 3D and it's really hard to take a picture. But when the picture is taken, it's 2D in the gallery but all out of focus etc as it's hard to do in 3D.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Never mind, a restart fixed it!
I have the same problem. Not only 2D camera is in 3D mode also 2D youtube videos. I think there is problem with default video player,it happen when you play 3D videos and minimalize player.
I had this, and the restart worked for a while but it came back. Eventually I went through deleting stuff I'd installed and it hasn't re-occurred. I deleted- a screen-shot taker, a 3D movie player, (sorry for the vague descriptions!) Astro File Manager (replaced with the superior ES), and, erm, the XDA app! (No offense, but I found it slower and less convenient than just browsing the site.) Hope this helps.
EDIT - movie player was 3DVplayer3.0.1

Well, I plan to watch a lot of 3D stuff while I'm on the train and youtube isn't available. I'd like to have a compiled list of how to properly convert videos to 3D in order to be watched on the Evo, (like blu-ray rips etc.) as well as any other 3D sources that pop up such as games or apps.
If anybody has any ideas or insight, post away!

HD MKV Scene rips play fine in the gallery, actually they are quite fantastic looking, but there is a problem with the sound. I've downloaded several other players and any of them that do play with the sound start to suffer from video lag. If anybody knows how an efficient way to re-encode the audio portion only, which should be substantially quicker than re-encoding a whole video, please share!
I downloaded the Wondershare trial program as somebody had mentioned on another forum. It is EXTREMELY simple to use. You load your video, click the device icon, select Convert to 3D, and it is the second mp4 option (side by side images). Since it was the trial version I could only convert 3 minutes of video, but I tried with HD rips of Modern Family, Family Guy, and Arrested Development. The files took about 3 min to encode and were about 175 mb for 3 min of video (from a ~600mb source mkv). I transferred them to the root dir and opened them in the gallery. You will see side by side images, but if you hit menu there is an option to play in 3D.
For the most part, it was hit or miss depending on the scene. I think the software is not just junk, but actually does what it says. The main problem comes into play where most standard television/films aren't filmed with 3D in mind, and thus do not have optimal viewing angles for depth with rear objects. Also, cameras tend to switch scenes/angles quickly so by the time you realize something is in 3D the camera has switched.. during a dialogue where the camera switches the focus between several actors in a conversation, for example. There were some scenes that really had the 3D effect as if it was completely designed that way.
I'm going to play around with it some more and see if I can come up with anything interesting. Also, encoding to 3D kept the same high quality video (god, this screen is f**king amazing) and fixed the audio problems, and I didn't touch any settings. Open, find file, convert to 3D, no settings or anything besides output folder.
Side note: HTC Sense 3.0 rocks!!! They really got it right this time! I love it so far. I changed my background to a live one which is affected by the weather. There were thunderstorms last night and when I would try to unlock the screen you'd be surfing through the clouds with a lightning affect. I thought it was pretty sweet. The whole UI seems silky smooth.
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that some youtube content says 3D and even displays side by side preview images but still plays in 2D.
Is this a bug? My youtube app doesn't have a play in 3D function like the video player so I can't toggle it. It just looks like a standard 2D video.
Any ideas?. Is this due to me not taking the OTA?
some videos work, some don't.
3D Youtube not 3D
Yes, I noticed this today. In fact, a couple of 3D videos I watched yesterday on youtube that showed up in 3d, are only in 2D today...hmmmm.
Hi all,
I have several videos downloaded from this forum to test the 3D video playback of the EVO 3D.
However, even I have pressed the 3D enable function in the player, those videos are still showing left and right screen together, which have no difference with 2D.
Do any of you have the same experience?
I have tried to import some 3D photos and they are fine.
Thanks
Battery pull / reboot.
If that fails, clear storage / rebuild.
If that fails, return it.

Hi, I tried to watch 3D video from the camera and youtube, both work.
Will it really related to the handset or video format?
Thanks
I no longer understand what your problem statement is. It either works or it doesn't. Which is it?

OK let me explain more
1. For those 3D videos taken from the camera and watch from Youtube. it worked
(no need to enable 3D manually, the player can detect it automatically)
2. For those videos import from PC, not ok.
I tried around 10 files, most of the are downloaded from here, just display the side by side video even turning on 3D. I follow the steps to convert one video from youtube to mp4, but still didn't work.
(need to enable 3D by myself)

what do you mean "turn 3D on"?
are you pressing "menu > play in 3D" when playing the videos?
do the videos have "3D" in their name?

1. Yes, I mean pressing menu--play in 3D
2. The videos have 3D in their name and all of them all SBS video. I am sure theyr are 3D video (watched some of them in the 3DTV before), but no luck when converting them into m4v/mkv file
I have had this happen I just hit menu then 2d then hit menu again 3D and it finally goes

Just add "3D" to the end of any sbs videos and the software will handle it automatically, i was so hyped about the 3d that i watched tons of promo videos and on at least 3 they mentioned evo 3d will recognize sbs videos that are tagged in the title so first thing i did when i got my 3d was load clips with 3D at the end of file name and it just works, no need to fuss with menu

Where exactly do you write the 3D tag? Please be clear I need to know this...?
What ROM are you currently on?
Can you view 3D movies in Moboplayer? When I hit the hard menu button, it just locks or unlocks the screen. Is there any way to toggle between 2D and 3D besides on the stock video player?
Nobody uses Moboplayer?
i use it and so far from every option that i've seen you can't as of now. maybe in a later update. oh and menu only locks the screen when a vid is playing
Interesting. Someone in another thread said they were able to view 3D movies but I couldn't find that option anywhere. I really like Moboplayer but that's kind of a deal breaker for me.

I love it too...
But really, for 3d, the stock player works just fine.
You're going to want to convert the videos anyway (most 3d stuff is HUGE without the conversion) and looks great in the stock player.
Mobo works well for your non-3d stuff on the 3vo.

Yea, I've been converting them using Handbrake and most of my full length movies on my 3vo average around 1-1.4 GB.
The stock player is fine but I absolutely love the gestures controls on Moboplayer.
yea the gestures are great. it is easier to fast forward or rewind instead of skipping all over using the little bar crap lol.
So I used mono the other day and happened to click a 3d video and it played in 3d. I haven't checked any actual movies it was just a video I had recorded. Just like to say that incase anyone still cares.

So I know this thread is ancient but how did you get Moboplayer to play a 3D video in 3D?
Nearly all players play 3D, but only if you filmed them with the phone. 3DBD SBS movies work only on 3DVPlayer.

By 3DVPlayer, do you mean the stock video player?

Wasn't the reason other players didn't play 3d video because the meta data that indicates its a 3d video is missing? That would make sense to me because the 3d movies I have don't haven't they 3d label in Gallery and need to be told to play in 3d. Whereas the videos recorded by the phone have the label and are automatically in 3d. I bet adding the proper meta data will resolve that. Haven't tried playing with anything yet but I think I saw someone else suggest the meta data idea before too.

MX video player is my favourite player for all off my 3D movies and it has gesture mode.

moboplayer does play in 3D for me. on ICS at least.
but: you have to play it in 3D in the default player first. then press Home to go back out. Play any video with any other player and it will still be in 3D. Even your camera when set to 2D will be in "3D". This is more of a bug than a solution though. But you'll be able to play 3D videos on any player.
If you want to restore functionality back to your 2D camera (because it still thinks it is in 3D mode) set the default video player to play any video in 2D again and it will be fine.

Ah...that's why my camera was acting wonky after watching a movie in 3D. Is this bug present in Sprint's stock ICS or just in custom ICS roms?

Never knew that. Thanks for heads up. I'll try that when paranoidandroid gets 3D or I go back to swagstr sos rom.

Hi All
Just acquired an Evo 3d here in the UK
4.0.3 sense 3.6 which i assume is updated stock
All working fine except for a few glitches
If using 3d for a while then switch to 2d in the camera the camera view seems to sometimes get stuck in a messed up 3d mode
Almost like in 3d mode with the alignment miles out
This is just the camera viewfinder view It still takes a 2d picture ok but the only way to get back to a proper 2d camera view seems to be to restart the phone.
Also tried to playback avatar 3d with bsplayer
Bsplayer played it side by side but if i then go to the gallery and play avater 3d with the stock video player and touch the 3d button it plays in 3d.
Pause that and go back to bsplayer and it also plays in 3d
The same thing seems to happen with mobo player and mx player
Is there a way to switch these players to 3d without having to trick them
Stu
I'm not sure about the first question, but I think that the stock player is the only one (or one of the only ones) that can switch the phone to 3D correctly.
