Thoughts on which one I should use? I just want to have a media manager for the music, movies, and pictures. Seems like HTC Sync should work better since I've got an HTC phone, but then DoubleTwist doesn't tie me to HTC for my next phone.

I'd say twist from what you said. No personal experience with either though, so I can't say from what I played with.
Go for twist. It will save battery too (HTC services have weird ways to kill it battery.

Im so used ti having 7 homescreens and i'd use abother launcher but the nusic widget doesn't work on any other launcher. Is there a way to remove two of the screens so I can have 5?
Thanks in advanced,

Not on sense.
The epic let you prune unused homescreens, not sense. i mostly like the evo 3d, but i'm keeping my receipt in case there are any deal-breakers. The overall sound seems quieter on the Evo 3d, not just the speaker, but the headphone output as well.
But i'm loving finally having a one-piece phone instead of a slider. just once i want a taste of what people on verizon, at&t and T-mobile have.
Yeah, there is no android music player on here. If you switch launchers you'll need a player from the market. I suggest winamp or double twist. Last I knew, they were both free.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
OK,so my wife got my old Evo and I obviously got the new 3D..Well today is the day we are trying to set up the perfect video call apps..We went through all of them and really like the Skype app,works great.
In the process we came across Tango(semi popular).But i noticed when i switched to my rear facing camera that my mini display of my feed to her was in 3D! I then looked at the feed on her phone and it was a side by side video(duh,because she doesnt have a parallax barrier) But my mini screen indeed did not show 2 side by side images.It showed a very tiny 3d feed.
If any of you have 2 Evo 3D's available give it a shot and switch to rear camera and tell me what ya get and how the quality is.
so did your try the same thing with qik or just tango? pretty cool none the less!

Quick only enables 1 camera on the back..Tango enables both..So on qik it works like normal(no 3D) but we decided against Qik because the audio cuts in and out and is pretty much useless unless you want to be a lip reader at times.
Cool!
Haven't tried but will give it a shot!
let me know please..curious to know
yea i noticed when i video chatted to my friend he has a dell streak so it was side by side also . i wonder im try tomorrow with my sister phone ill post my findings ..
if you did a video chat with another 3vo, i wonder if they would see it in 3d.
That's nice but only one person will be able to do 3d at a time bc none of you'se will be able to see the screen if your using the back camera. Unless you want to show off your surroundings in 3d of course

I tried tango with my brother. I get a split screen.. we both have evo 3D. I figured they don't 3d player support. I tried playing my 3d videos with other players and I also get a split screen using that player. So I think they need to add support to the tango player for 3d effects.

My old TMo HD2 came with both Transformers movies pre-loaded, which are pretty darn good movies to showcase on the (then) top of the line WinMo 6.x phone. And I think it is the G2x that came with Avatar. So what I don't get, is why did the primo top of the line, and first 3D phone, our EVO 3D, come pre-loaded with this crap Green Hornet movie?
Yes, the 3D effects are amazing! The early office scene with Cameron Diaz is jaw dropping. And I use that scene the most to show off what our phone can do to my friends. But the storyline, the acting, pretty much everything other than the 3D effects suck. It is a waste of disc space, and was a waste of my time watching it, but i did want to complete it, so my fault there.
Why, this being a high visibility showcase phone for HTC, didn't the pre-loads it with a 3D movie equal to its status? Why didn't they load Avatar in 3D on it? Or wait for a huge blockbuster 3D movie to come later on, and offer it as a free download? Geez! If it weren't for it being pretty amazing 3D effects to show off to others, this movie would be erased. HTC, or Sprint, really bungled this one.
I think the same, whst a waste of time and resourses!I wish they just give us the option to choose something good, like Samsung does with movies for there phones, well the htc HD came with Transformers and S Vibrant with Avatar, it's probably a T-mobile thing to get better movies to there phones. Well, they have to deal with there crappi T-service!

actually i dont mind the green hornet 3d on the phone... turns out to be a real sales pitch for the guys wondering about our new phone. i just go to the part where the guy blows up the dude in the club as hes walking away, that fiery portion wows most of my viewers...
Wow, someone is complaining about what movie they put on the phone. Amazing.

The movie blows, that's why.
That's also why they gave it away free.. lol

Yeah it's on the SD card that came with the phone. It's in a format you can't mess with and seems only readable by the Watch app.
You have to create/login to the HTC Sense account on the phone in order to download the license to watch the flick.
I just wish they picked a better 3D movie that showed off the 3D a little better. The Green Hornet only has a little bit of 3D action going on. But a free movie is free and I can't complain about that.
Guess I agree, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes for them to be able to pre-load these movies on the phones. I'm guessing there is some correlation b/w how lackluster that movie is and how Sprint is able to give away tons and tons of copies of that movie with their phone.
Green Hornet was hilarious. How could you not like it?!
Although I do agree, for a flagship device, they should've included something with a bigger crowd.
It all boils down to Sprint partnering with Sony on the release of the phone, which around the time of the release of The Green Hornet on DVD and blu-ray. It's a smart move by Sony in getting the movie in more people's hands, while also helping to promote HTC's new phone on several of Sony's marketing tours.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I gotta agree...Sprint could have chosen a better movie.
G2x was bone stock vanilla with very minimal bloatware..
Tmobile HD2 only cam with 1 transformers movie (im almost 100% on that as I only had it for 13 days and returned it)
Tmobile Samsung Vibrant came with avatar....
I've had all three of the phones listed..
And yeah green hornet ****ing sucked.. Seth rogan had 3 funny lines.. but he hasn't done anything good since pineapple express
Is rather have nothing than a bunch of garbage. But they did make a option to delete it.. and with root/s-off/cm7
Hopefully I will be happy

just goes to show you how pathetic people how become ...
Would you prefer Drive Angry? LOL
Really?
Come on guys its a free movie, it was going to the highest bidder. If you want Avatar 3D that bad i'll fileserve it for you its about 1.3gb tho
I'll even toss in Tangled 3D for those Disney fanatics... LOL.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
HA. they probably track how many folks watch it and how many times and use it to increase their "not so great" box office numbers.
I agree with the OP. Though after watching Avatar 3D on the EVO 3D, everything else seems lacking. The Green Hornet was not filmed with a 3D camera like Avatar. It used post-processing to simulate the 3D effect and thus does not pop like a movie filmed with a 3D camera.
I wouldnt say EVERYTHING else was lacking Alice In Wonderland was pretty good in 3D on the EVO. And i found myself taken the phone form my daughter when Megamind was on too LOL
I have a couple of questions before i decide to get one of these things:
1. I am told there is a WIFI TETHER program that will work on these phones without ROOT. what is this program?
2. Where someone gets one, can you make a video recording with very loud audio (like being at a concert). the ORIG EVO distorts like hell and I wonder if this is resolved on this unit
3. is there a car mount like what the Orig Evo has?
Thanks...
I grabbed an HTC one x and used it at Bamboozle last weekend. It did pretty well with the shows. Check them out on YouTube, therealspanky34 is my name there.

Im guessing the ONE X has the same sound and video quality as the 4G LTE??
The video quality should be identical since they use the same camera. The audio quality should be practically the same as well.
Edit: I'm returning my one x once my evo shows up. I just had to have a different camera for the trip.

hard to tell from those videos but the 1080p looks like with fast movement, it blurs and the audio, while it doesnt appear to sound distorted doesnt sound that great...
It's the best video I've ever gotten from a concert with a phone though. My OG EVO was pretty awful at it.
Also, there's a car dock available from Sprint.
As far as the WiFi teather without root, not sure about that one.

i remember in an old evo thread that if you tether without root, sprint can easily tell, which is why someone said to always root before you tether, at least they have to go looking for it instead of some kind of icon on your account usage. or something like that...
Just wondering if anyone has gotten a chance to use the htc one and how does it compare to the dna in all aspects. Since I don't think Verizon will be carrying the htc one

I was able to play with a one yesterday while at the mall and I say this with no disrespect to our devs.... But it's blazing fast and super smooth. Which makes sense since the software was made for that phone.
I will say this however.... Our sense roms are so close that it's pretty much negligible! :thumbup:

It is a great device. My bud got one and sent me some pics he took with it. They did wonders with that camera software.
Droid DNA-unlocked
Nexus 7-Stock
A friend of mine who is a VZW employee got one on ATT. He says it's the best phone he's ever used, hands down. He didn't provide a direct comparison/details vs. the DNA, but his simple statement says a lot - this is another guy who makes it a point to own and use almost every high-end handset that comes along.
My buddy who has AT&T just got the HTC One and he was let down by the build quality. His had gaps in the construction which seem to be common after looking online and his screen would do a ripple effect when touching the sides of the screen. I had this same issue with the Droid Incredible 4G LTE but that was a $0.01 phone and the One is a $200 premium flagship device. He returned his original one and got a second one that also had gaps so he decided to return it as well and waits for the S4.
Also the lack of Qi Wireless charging on the HTC One would be a deal breaker for me
One thing I really hate about the DNA is the small memory. I have about 20gb of music I like to carry with me and I can't with the DNA. This alone would be reason for me to got with the One. I tried putting it all on google music but I end up burning through too much data on my Verizon plan.
Browsing in the at&t one forum, the CM team developers all got the one, and they can flash international rims on there phones also. The ONE is going to BEAST!!! So jealous of Verizon, I wonder how Verizon is going to BORK the DNA+

I do a lot of DJ work so I love music. I have close to 800GBs of just music on my desktop and about 300 on my laptop so I feel your pain.
What I do is have my photos auto upload to facebook and I use cloud storage. One thing that is mice where I live is the local phone company has wifi nearly everywhere I go so I don't use data. If you want to put your music on a cloud server I would use Dropbox because Google Drive does not let you download music from the app to your phone where I believe Dropbox does. I use Drive due to the Google integration and fact that Dropbox's smallest plan is 100GB for $10 a month.
I know it's kind of a crappy work around but I figured since I only paid $50 for this phone that I can pay for 2 years of cloud storage for $60 and still only be at half the price of the One.
Plus I like the look of the DNA more.
Most of the reviews about HTC One I have heard are positive among my friends who bought the HTC One, I am really attracted by its cool appearance, but I don't want to upgrade to it since my phone is bought for only three months.
