Is anyone else underwhelmed with the "3D" in our phones? I think I may have taken one 3d pic of my GF the day I got the phone. Nothing since....

I played with it a bit but other than that I really couldn't care less about it. I like to think of the Evo 3D as a nice phone that just has 3D as a gimmick.
more than a thousand 3 d pics in less than a year...

Yeah, I probably used the 3D features for a month or two, but haven't used them much at all since the phone came out. But I am still very happy with the phone overall, still a beast in today's smartphone market.
I also didn't use the 3D too much like only 12 shots or so but i like to show this 3D gimmick to people their faces are priceless when i show them that my phone has 2 cameras hahaha and then i show them few best pictures and i can just see their eyes shining because of such awesomeness hahaha.
Just used it to make a special video once and that was it.

It's funny, a buddy and I were discussing this just last week and came to the same conclusion. I hardly use it, it is cool and such, I just think there needs to be more devices with 3D before it really becomes worth while.

Well par for course, Apple hype the personification of the device by giving it a name like "Deanna" or iD, then pretend they created it. Then sue HTC and LG.

I have used the 3D quite a bit actually. I would say that a third of the pictures I take are in 3D. The problem I have with the camera isn't the 3D but rather the quality of the pictures. Not even a year later the One S can take much better pictures even in the dark.
Speaking of 3D, and has anyone noticed the 3D Lyrics in Shazam?
I sometimes regret having bought it..
I dont use thisn function and i bought it because of it..
sometimes i wish i had bought Galaxy S2
I default to pictures and video in 3D.

I use 3D all the time. I play the games in 3D - I watch movies in 3D, convert most of them myself. I use the 3D camera.
I Love the 3D features.
If not for the 3D, I would have moved onto a new phone by now. Its the only reason I bought this phone. I may even buy a spare one if the price gets much cheaper.
We need more 3D content.
I wonder about all the people that "moved on" from these forums while we were still on GingerBread roms.

nothing like taking a cool picture in 3d and can't upload it for all your friends to see because they all have iphones or samsung pieces of dog excrement
look i want to share why i bought this phone
1. the specs / price ratio
2. not about the 3d all because the specs / prices ratio i buyed it unlocked HTC EVO 3D GSM for 300 euros if i would buy a sgs 2 for that price i have to wait like 3 years to get it for that price so thats my opinion
I love using the 3d but just hate sense so I'm 3dless until they can find a fix for aokp.
Sent From My Dirty 3VO
Yeah, I agree with most of the rest. I used 3d initially, but it is useless if I can't share photos or videos with anyone else. Cool? Yes. Useful? No.
When I bought the 3d, it was for the hardware specs, but not 3d capability.

For every 3d pic I take, I do 100 in 2d.
The EVO 3d can take very nice pictures IF you get away from the "auto" settings. There has been several tutorials linked on XDA how to improve them.

I was very disappointed with my htc evo 4g. This issue was never fixed even if thought it was. after the (suppostly fix) Most kernel and htc firmware upgrade were able to reach around 50-53fps but never did it reached 60fps like my nexus. With a few tweaks It was able to reach closer to 60fps but you would get screen tearing. so please can anyone confirm this. i don't want to run games or sense cap at 30fps again.

There will obviously be no 30fps cap on the EVO 3d.
While I agree with you, it isn't so obvious....i felt it should have been obvious that the 4g wouldnt have had the cap, the nexus didn't...hell, my ****ty samsung moment didn't...
That said, I would be thoroughly shocked and horrified if it does have an fps cap...at which point I will return it, wait for the sgs2 and boycott htc for good...
...fool me once, etc etc etc

Judging by this, I would say there's no 30 fps cap.

Yeah from all the recent benchmarks of the sensation it looks like it might be 60...like even the anandtech ones...in quadrant they max out at 61 and it seems like it was clearly trying to do more but was limited
Sounds like a vsynch issue...
Also what's the point of rendering more frames then the refresh rate of the S-LCD anyway?
Except to generate heat, reduced battery life, increased tearing, and bragging rights for days...

Just to clarify, the human eye cannot register more than 30-35 fps. Going higher is just an ego boost.
With that said, I'm guilty of going for max fps also.

Don't know about you, but I can easily tell the difference between 30 and 60fps here.
Maybe if you showed them one at a time, it would be harder, but when they are (side by side) or one on top of the other in this case, the difference is easily apparent.

That's been proven wrong quite a while ago. But then again the no HTC phone since the EVO has been capped at 30 fps including the Evo shift so why would anyone even assume the EVO 3d would have this problem?

Nothing's wrong with it, it's just been out for 6 months now and people believe that the 3D is the only additional thing it's got going for it (it's not)...
It's just not terribly popular, they advertised left and right 3d this and 3d that and well, nobody cares... the 3D games on the market are - meh... and it takes a lot of equipment to see your 3d videos elsewhere.

Well the good side is that you will get a lot more users. It has gone up in the sales charts, because 3d or not 3d, it is a cheap Sensation at this price.

Yep, at one point, I had about 320 apps installed, of course some on the SD card and still had about 120MB of free space available.
why is it a surprise that a phone that has been out for almost 8 months now has dropped in price...
classic move by sprint when they are getting ready to release another phone. the galaxy nexus is coming out and they aren't going to charge 300 bucks for it like **** verizon, they will charge 200. so, naturally, they can't charge you 200 dollars for both because one is outdated, so they drop the price on the 3D.
The EVO 3D's value seems to be falling at an alarming rate. It is like the black sheep of HTC phones.
My rooted near launch day EVO 4G sold for $320 approximately a month before the EVO 3D came out.
This phone will sell no where near that amount.

I am in Europe so Verizon and Sprint have no relevance to me.
I have a quite good knowledge of the market and I tell you this is not normal.
Nexus at 490, Sensation XE at 450 euros, Samsung S II sells at 430, the Sensation at 380 and the Evo at 270 together with the LG 2x at 270.
These are new unlocked phones. For the price of a Nexus I can buy 2 Evo 3D right now.

well yeah, but if you find the right buyer anything can be sold at the price you desire.
take your case, for example, maybe that guy didn't have an upgrade on his contract, and didn't have insurance or anything but needed a new phone and a good one. he is looking at wholesale no matter what he does, so to pick yours up for 320 isn't an amazing deal, but stilla hell of a lot better than 400

Thank you all for your input!
Makes no sense to me why It's so cheap ppl talk so bad about this phone but I find it near flawless.. the battery life for me has been amazing I get like a day and a half with moderate usage. Internal memory is perfect I have like almost 100 apps and am not even using half of it. Only issue I had was that it wasn't as smooth as others but with the new 2.17 base It's super smooth now and will only get better as ics comes. For me if It's that cheap I say go for it I have friends with both the gs2 and the sensation and they both see more issues than me and id say It's still on par with the newest phones out. Until a phone comes out with an a15 dual or quad core this phone will match the best.

I don't know what it's like in the EU, when it comes to phone devaluation over time... but here in the States, it's the same deal - 3VOs are about $100 cheaper, than they used to be... I had an EVO 4G that had been stolen... I had insurance (Asurion), and they sent me a crap 4G that was an obvious refurb; the camera lens was pointing down, and to the left (!), and, the phone itself - as far as sound quality during calls went - was terrible. I packed it back up, called Asurion, and pitched a b**** - they sent me ANOTHER 4G, and the cover didn't fit correctly - so, I went to a local Sprint retailer, and raised hell. I ended up speaking to arbitration specialist at Sprint, and sent the phone back... on the next day, I received a brand-new, made in Taiwan, in the box - EVO 3D. Upon further inspection, I found out that the boot was 1.4 - and promptly went to Revolutionary I/O - got root, and everything's peachy. ;-)

Pretty sure these guys are right on. I've not seen another phone with better hardware released yet. They will come, but this is still top of the line hardware wise. And 1gb rom and ram Awesome! Plus it's been out for a long time.
So I'm an new owner off the HTC Evo 3D and that is all just because this phone was highly underrated and that should be reason why you can get it now at bargain prices.
I got mine for € 289 but with promotions it could be even cheaper, like lowest price I had seen was € 269 but the upped it to € 289 so I needed to pay € 20 more.
But the HTC Evo 3D is better then the HTC Sensation ( XE ) because we have 1GB of Ram and that is much, because the HTC Sensation ( XE ) has only 768MB Ram and that is the same as what my old phone the HTC Desire HD had.
Yes the HTC Sensation got an 8MP camera and can make movies at 1080p and the Evo 3D got an 5MP camera ( Well two in fact ) and can make movies in 720P and also in 720P 3D movies.
Pictures are 5MP but they are off decent quality and what you expect off an camera on an phone, the DHD had also 8MP but 3MP more does not mean better quality.
But when I bought an HTC phone for my girlfriend I also choosed the HTC Sensation for her, that was just because the price, because I like the design off the Evo 3D better because it looks more manly.
So now my gf has the HTC Sensation and I have the HTC Evo 3D, which brings me finally on equal level with her and I finally have an front facing camera to. I still remember what people said about the front facing camera when the chat software like Skype did not support it yet, but I really missed it when I had mine DHD.
Now about biggest part off the HTC Evo 3D that is underrated and that is the 3D capabilities, the 3D looks really good on the HTC Evo 3D and someone on XDA also told me because off the 3D we have an really good screen which is much better then other screens like the one on HTC Sensation.
I already tried the 3D and even though we got to look on the 4.3 inch screen, I think it looks good, you can see the 3D really good, I tried avatar and when that guy jumped in the water you could see nice 3D.
So I'm going watch 3D movies on it and I definitely going make some more 3D pictures, especialy from my girlfriend, because what is better then seeing your gf in 3D when she not around you.
Making 3D movies I have not tried so much yet, but it looks good to when I tried it, because you can really see depth, so I can finally say that I got an valid reason of making pictures and movies with my phone, because it can take 3D.
For 2D I will stick with mine Sony Cybershot DSC-W350, because I still believe an compact camera does the job better, but the camera on our phone can take decent pictures to, no doubt about that.
underrated
I think the evo 3d is being underrated b/cos many people think the 3d is not good enough but for me i don´t really care abt the 3d.
What i like abt the phone is the hardware which is very important for me, i have dhd too and i feel evo is far beter than dhd.
I believe when htc release their sorce code we will enjoy this beast more
WELCOME TO EVO 3D
I think its just nice, now an can watch on the go 3D, just download some 3D movies and i'm watching 3D movies in the air plane.
For daily usage you will not watch that often on the phone. But I could now say like, oh I wanna watch the 3D version off that movie so I will go go lie on bed and watch it on the phone.
I wanted to post this image in the OP but I forget.

It's outrageously cheap in ASDA now!
Prices have dropped significantly. The usual price is now around 269€ where I live, but it has been on sale in some places for as low as 199€ which is just insane if you compare it to the handsets you'll get for that price.
I agree with the OP and others. The 3D capability is nice, but it was not the selling point. Name another phone currently available that has more RAM, better screen, and faster processor. There are not many. This phone, hardware wise is nearly best out there, even almost a year since releasing.

Sent from the Reaper.
Yeah I could, but it doesn't hurt if its in the third post. I think some countries have cheaper prices, like the UK, the webshops in NL who sell HTC devices at much lower price are usual selling imported models from the UK or DE, you literally get deceived by those online webshops, you think you are buying an NL HTC, but in fact its an UK model or from another EU country like DE, FR, it overcame me, then you get an ****ty travel adapter with it because UK does use other power plug.
The pricedrop also has it sidedown for people who payed the full price, because they will lose so much if they would want to sell it, where as the people who buy now at discount price won't lose much.
I even sold mine HTC Desire HD, so this upgrade only costed me € 109 and an new silicon case from € 1,20 and one spare battery for € 2,50 all from ebay.
Would HTC still produce the HTC Evo 3D? The HTC Desire HD is also still sold and at an similar price as the HTC Evo 3D is being sold right now.
But HTC Desire HD was released in begin off Q4 2010 and the HTC Evo 3D was released in begin off Q3 2011 I believe. I just checked price off HTC Sensation and that is now € 350, so in my country the price difference between HTC Evo 3D and HTC Sensation is not so big, but where I bought it, in Germany there is about € 90 difference as the HTC Sensation there costs about € 380 ( I only look on internet ).

yeah at 207quid it's a steal!
I had DHD before, was really happy with my phone and wasn't going to upgrade it until late 2012/early 2013, thinking the Evo 3d can't be MUCH better than the DHD.
And I was so wrong, as much as I love my DHD, Evo 3D is just so much better. Much better screen in terms of resolution and brightness, dual-core, larger battery capacity and 3D as well!
I'm still in shock that I got this at 207quid, only paid about 70quid for the upgrade.
Yes I am very happy with the phone and it's MANY features and capabilities, 3D being only one but I do love the 3D features. I love the games too, just bought Shadow Gun on the market for .49 !!! It's incredible!!!! Didn't know our phone could run games that look this good. Plus throw in Chainfire3D, which I just bought, and you get even more game options. I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this phone!!! I'm surprised it's not more popular, however I did notice that EVERYONE on CSI MIAMI has one!!
I didn't really rate 3D before but I do actually think its pretty cool for photos etc.
Shame I have no 3D TV or anything yet
I have been watching Avatar in 3D yesterday, looks really good though, but I can see if you watch 3D the screen uses alot off energy, but still its really nice to watch 3D.
You see an movie on an very other way.
Darmstadt, Germany got it last week for 199 €
thats not even 1/3 of the htc-official-price (699 €).
so thats damn nice.
i got mine for 269 €.
yes, the evo 3d ist underrated. because the marketing was bullsh*t. or...there wasnt even marketing in germany.
i heard about the evo 3d because of engadget.com
otherwise i wouldnt even know about it.
it got more ram, which surely is a great deal for newr android versions.
got s3 cpu plus adreno 220. quite nice. not as good as sgs2 but surely a damn beast in this price category.
in germany, there isnt a phone, that is that nice and that cheap.
next thing would be sgs+ oder sgw..they cost about 280 oder 300...
the evo 3d is a truly winner, but treated as a looser....
htc, burn in hell for that treatment and the lack of marketing!
I blame Sprint. Releasing the iPhone killed it.

i feel like stupid that i paid 369€ for evo 3d in cyprus.
When my contract has been finished i hesitate to change carrier and buy a sensation XE or a Sensation... price was too high so i signed up to a new carrier for 32€/Month for one year, and got my Evo 3D for 99€...
i think hardware differences between sensation or sensation XE are not worth the difference of price... and 3d is funny !
So I came across this video

It shows the sgs3 playing a video and running shadowgun at the same time seemingly flawlessly. I've always been pro-HTC, I went from the Touch Pro to the Evo and now I plan to get the EVO LTE. But despite my fanboyism, I have realized that HTC products usually don't perform as well as their samsung rivals in real world usage despite what the numbers and processors should theoretically be doing. I figured the Evo LTE and just about any high-end phone released in the past year can run everything on the market, who cares? Then I see something like this and it blows my mind. I'm almost tempted to jump ship.. but we'll see. What are your thoughts?

It's a new feature of the sgs3. It's a cool, novel feature I suppose. Maybe if you're playing a game and wanna watch a video of someone else doing it or something. But I'm more impressed with how well it did it all at once!

thats honestly kinda cool there...not sure how often id use it but it brings PIP back in play but now on mobile phones.....though I hate TouchWiz with a passion so no way im going that route...
whats the real worl application for that function. i think its a pointless feature

Agreed. At least for mobile phones... Could have some usage on tablets like taking a timed class and watching a video to pass the time.
The 24nm Krait S4 Snapdragon is a very capable chip. It should have no problems doing what you're video is doing or even running 2 HD movies simultaneously while running background tasks all simultaneously even on a screen as demanding as the new Evo's.
Samsung has done alot on the software side of things ..to me its more of a wow factor than something that I would ever use. If your in a store and stuck between two phones ..they show a gs3 doing pip and your sold ..not for me ..a cool but useless feature as well as the s talk or whatever it is ..I just don't imagine using it ..its a good phone tho ..you don't have to iuse those features ..to me the new evo is more desirable..and I believe the s4 is 28nm

You sir are correct, apologies for the typo. The Krait s4 snapdragons are indeed 28nm.
I have no doubt the EVO 4G LTE could do this, and probably the galaxy s2 as well. What I really don't know is why you would need or want to do this other than to showoff.

You could write notes, respond to a text, make an appointment, send an email, etc, without having to pause and back out of the video you are watching.
I think its far from pointless. People seem to assign the words "pointless" "useless" and "gimmick" to any feature that doesn't fit their personal lifestyle. Keep an open mind
Samsung says this is something new and groundbreaking that just came out with. BS!!! There is already an app in the Play Store that can do this on the phone in your hand right now. Check out app developers MBFG, I believe they may even be a XDA member. They have an app called OverSkreen that allows you to have a webpage on top of any other screen on your device. I use OverSkreen on my tablet and love it! They have another app that plays videos on top of any other screen just like the Galaxy S3, it's called Stick It! (and yes the "!" is part of the app's name, lol). Check it out. Funny Samsung lies saying how they created the idea an that the GS3 is the only phone that can do this, when in fact any Android phone with the app Stick It!! can do it!!!

The PIP function on the SG3 is not new. There is an app in the market called stick it, for $1.49 that does the same thing. I bought it a couple weeks ago, and it works very well, even though honestly, there isnt really any practical use for it. Many of the software tweaks that samsung is bui8ldin ginto the SG3 are impressive, but not original. You can duplicate just about every functionality they bragged about at the announcement with apps found in the market, or on custom roms readily available for most phones. Ultimately, because the US version will not have the quad core processor, and because i have always found samsung phones to feel cheap in my hand, im going with HTC, whose build quality is usually very good. Oh yeah, that and the pen tile screen on the SG3.... thats a deal breaker for me too

Theoretically, probably. In reality, probably not, if the EVO LTE has the multitasking issue that the ONE X has, which it probably will as HTC customized the multitasking to be so aggressive/ineffective. Really bummed about this. I hope all this is not the case. Show me wrong, HTC.
This concerns me.

Check out my post above the one you quoted. I mentioned that app as well, but commenting because you should also try out the web browser I aso mentioned. It's by the same dev as the floating video app. OverSkreen is the browsers name and it's awesome!!

Regardless of HTC botching the multi-tasking of Android, our EVOs will still be able to do this easily. Did you forget what website you're on??

http://www.bgr.com/2012/08/06/htc-1080p-verizon-smartphone-release-date/
HTC’s upcoming 5-inch, 1080p superphone reaffirmed ahead of fall release
BGR exclusively reported this past April that HTC (2498) will be the star of Verizon Wireless’s (VZ) fall lineup thanks to a new 5-inch superphone with a 1080p high-definition display, Scribe stylus support and a quad-core Krait CPU paired with an Adreno 320 graphics processor. Now, citing unnamed industry sources, Digitimes on Monday reported that HTC plans to launch a smartphone with a “5-inch display featuring a resolution of 1794 by 1080 pixels” some time in either September or October. The massive HD handset could be just what HTC needs to finish the year strong after a rough second quarter and continued struggles in the third quarter, but it’ll certainly have some stiff competition from the Galaxy S III, the upcoming Galaxy Note II and Apple’s (AAPL) next-generation iPhone, which will be announced on September 12th.

Saw that and it looks killer, but I gotta say, after playing with the streak a while ago, I don't think I could go any bigger than the screen size of the lte. Of course I said the same thing when I got my og...
Makes sense. Samsung is going to announce a new Galaxy Note, so HTC will try to compete with them in the phone/tablet hybrid market.
Sounds great.

Pretty cool. Except that I could never use Verizon. Slow data as it may be, at least its not capped or throttled on sprint. Plus my house has been lit up with LTE for the past week now and I pull a solid 10mbps down, and 5-10 up everytime I test it. (hit as high as 14 down)
And we all knew the quad-core kraits were coming later this year. That screen is going to look awesome as well.
As the new iPhone release is coming up, I think our current phones will give it every bit of a run for it's money, and this just emphasizes the android hardware dominance over it even more so.

That screen will be delicious. 1080p is twice the number of pixels as 720p. On a 5" screen, 1794x1080 would be a PPI of 418.8. Compare that to this phone's PPI: 312.47.
To bad most things don't take advantage of the high res netflix still doesn't do hd on most phones and I don't think hulu does either and a few media players iv tried don't work right and crash often or freeze
