Ok I think I just went crazy or something. I had been messing around with my phone a bit, kinda just looking around the house in 3D for about 15 minutes or so. I put the phone up and went to my back yard when all of a sudden I noticed my whole yard was in 3D...LOL!!! I know it is real life 3D but I was in focus like I was looking at my phone.
It only lasted a minute or two but believe me it was there. Kinda strange and I did re-focus back to normal vision but it spooked me for a sec... I guess my question would be is this a good thing or bad thing. I mean it is giving the eyes some exercise but I think maybe it should be used in moderation? I know we are all different and my eyes are lets say really older than most but I was just curious if anybody else has had this happen. Kinda funny when it does...
ok first things first,, put the bong down, then go make a sandwich.
haha, j/k (or am I?)
I'll volunteer to be a test subject and take a tour of the house tomorrow watching my phones display. Will report back..
Ok that was about as funny as it gets...good one. For the record I was straight. At least I think I was because it kinda felt like a buzz...LOL!!!

I'd say leave the mushrooms alone, doesn't sound like a bong issue LOL. That's crazy maybe use the 3d aspect in moderation.

I think that the way the parralax display works is like the old 3D pictures. You have to unfocus your eyes just enough to see the hidden image. Looking at it long enough make cause the eyes focus to stay that way temporarily. It is cool, and you have to focus closely to see the 3D well.
I HATE guitar hero, but I played it and after a while the walls move as well as anything you look at. I believe his eyes gave him that affect until they refocused.
Hi, my names Sean, and I've been drug free for over 5 years now and enjoying life. I'm so happy I was able to find the way to TRUE happiness. I want to thank you all for the support and I offer my support as well.
Hey Sean good to here from ya. Drug free here also and proud of it...Life is a good natural high for me now. I guess my eyes are kinda old and the transformation between the 3D and normal kinda took it's time getting there. I must admit I got spooked for a second...then hey this is cool...then hey it's gone...LOL!!!

I have something like this happen when I close my eyes after extended 3d viewing. Kinda see images in the same way they are presented on the screen.
Then again, when i close my eyes after a lot of tetris or most puzzle games I see the game objects in motion.

It's the way your eyes are focusing. I get the effect too. Not noticeable unless I'm really concentrating on it.
I've noticed this effect after looking at a lot of 3d pictures while I was tired. It went away after I slept it off. I suspect the eyes either get tired of moving and sort of stick in their focus, or the tired mind can't bypass hard line recognition because after its been flooded with the sharp depth delineations from the phones 3d screen.
Geez I almost went 3d reading that...LOL!!! Pretty deep stuff.

This happened to me too! My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I know what the OP is saying. I think your brain just starts thinking about depth more than it normally does. It's like my 3D elevated my brain to another level...
Ironic that I'm posting this because I used to get so sick of seeing these back when rooting the D1 was the thing to do. However, I thought it might be nice to have a thread that anyone on the fence could browse through to see some opinions re pros & cons.
I rooted my D1 the day after I got it in Jan of 2010. This was before there were any easy tools and it was all new territory. It was pretty fun and I spent weeks of my spare time playing with different ROMS. But in the end, the only reason I think I stayed rooted was to get a black theme and to overclock because the D1 cpu was so much slower than other phones. Now I have a dual-core 1.2Ghz phone that already gets hot and I don't think I want to overclock it and the theme is already what I want. So why root?
I have the latest OS (almost) and the phone does pretty much everything I want. The only reason I can think of to root is to be on the bleeding edge & get little tiny features before anyone else. Don't get me wrong; that is fun, but since I've been there / done that, I'm not sure it's worth it this time. I know I can't decide on a ROM until I've tried all the popular ones and I don't think I want to spend all that time & energy bouncing between ROMS.
I thought maybe I would just get root so I could use my root tools like Titanium, etc, but now it looks like the current root prevents OTA updates and if I'm not going to custom ROM, then I want those OTA updates.
I've been on the edge of my seat, hoping the devs would crack this phone, but now that it's happened, here I sit trying to decide. Anyone else in this same boat?
If you read the post, you'll realize I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ADVICE - just looking for others' opinions, that's all.
My perspective? Definitely root. Why not? If I root and want nothing else? I'm all set. if I don't root and want to do something I can't without root i've got no options....
I see no down side. Also CM ftw.

I don't know what the **** a 3vo is, but if you have an Evo 3D, I'd say root it. It's awesome.
I would root it just to get rid of annoying sprint apps that take up room for no good reason. I have the memory for it, but i hate seeing them just chill there.
You want my opinion? Root your damn evo 3d right NAOW!!!
If you aren't going to flash a new ROM then probably not much point because it will be hard to get updated software with out using a somewhat custom ROM.
But really why not root and find a ROM that suites you. These are all updated usually within hours of an update. Outside of losing some of the bloat you can barely tell that it isn't stock.
I'm in the same situation. I came from a rooted EVO 4G and enjoyed the benefits of flashing ROMs, mods, and having that "total control" feeling. I've since transitioned to the 3D without looking back...too much.
With the 4G, I got used to being able to move things around in the file system without any issue. Things like "I like that ringtone from the last ROM I used, but it's not on this one. No problem, just copy it into the /system/media area and the ringer's back". I also miss using root-required apps, and getting rid of what I dont want.
Having those abilities back would justify rooting the 3D, to me. There aren't any ROMs at the moment that have really caught my eye and I don't mind the stock one anyway. Decisions, decisions...
I'm Rooted
I had to root to see what kind of snappy features I could get out of my phone.
I will admit though, Any time I have extra time I am hovering around my computer looking for the latest updated rom, searching CM for their first release and scouting all over these forums waiting. I have a rom I'm satisfied with and it's great to not see 4 pages of useless apps in my app tray. My goal is to keep it at 2 pages and I'm happy with that.
I also am OCD about certain things like how much battery I have and now I can see my percentage the second I turn on my screen. It makes me happy.
I would still do it again if I had the choice. I plan on learning how to customize my own rom here in the future as soon as I see a good tutorial posted. One has been started in the development section.

HAHA! SUPER CLEVER! It's funny because you're pretending like you don't know what 3vo is because you don't like the name! HAHA! You're funny! I see you post this everywhere! Neato witty person!

If he's an asshole by pointing out that the phone is an EVO 3D and not the 3vo, they deserve it. As for the question of this topic, I would definitely root it for ROMs and things like Ubuntu.
Dude, solstice is awesome <3 he's just expressing his opinion on the name. He also contributed by saying he should root it.

A quick look at the profile tells me this person has contributed here & there but has regularly insulted others - go look. How is that awesome? I come here to read & post info about phones and roms. I know I have to see posts from people who don't know what they're doing - that just goes with the territory, but why should we have to see rude, childish crap? This isn't 4chan.
3vo has become a nickname for the phone. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not still a nickname. And it's easier to type. Get over it. Why so much drama? Who cares what people call the damned phone?

I didnt think he was being an asshole or anything like that. Personally myself I dont like 3vo either. You mean to say 3d is harder to type then 3vo? And no im not trying to be a jerk either. But to me it looks like your pointing out stuff and making the drama by insulting the guy calling him an asshole and carrying on about his post. He has his right to his Opinion as do you.
As far as the root. I say to root.. even if its to get rid of bloatware and make the phone faster and take up less space. I like the way the 3d is layed out in general. But there are some things that can be improved. It also looks like you can easily take it back to stock if you so wanted to. I havent rooted mine yet, wont lie this is only my second Android device for myself. Wife has a Shift. I didnt root my Hero.. even though I should have it was horrible. but im pretty sure I will root my 3d. I do like the thought of being able to add ring tones from other roms and such and port over cool stuff. Not sure I want to change roms like crazy though. Who knows I just might get the bug.

Christ, who pissed in your cheerios? I merely like to toy with people calling it a 3vo.
Anyways, yes, root it. Adfree is enough of a reason alone to root.
Edit: And I may be an asshole, but I'm an asshole who gets **** done. It's my goal to have all the assholes of the world come together one day and build a statue of me.
Hi Solstice, My name is Estrogen....ewwwwwwww. You are cool though!
You can always unroot.
You can stay stock and just add SU, Busybox.
I like it just for the full backup abilities.
Tethering is my main reason functionally wanting root. And with root I now have Sprint Hot Spot working without Ad-Hoc. That alone is worth rooting for.
Stock is not bad and most ROM's are near Stock with some minor clean up.
I'm sure HTC will close this exploit soon with an OTA update.
LOL ok ok i guess I was being a drama queen here. My bad.
A douche at work got me started this morning.

When rooted do you get HTC 3D updates? Htc has told me there will be some updates to improve the camera. The camera is my biggest disappointment with the phone, other than that its fast enough for me.
Plus I don't know how to root

Any updates that are pushed OTA will be available (if not days-to-hours before) hours after the OTA goes live to any portion of the userbase. If the camera update is one of them it I would expect it to probably be available here before your phase of the OTA roll-out even gets it's turn. There are a lot of us who would really like that update.
It is best not to accept updates as they have to potential to un-root you and making getting root again anywhere from difficult to impossible--ever. again. Ask E4G owners that took the update how that's working out for them. If you prize being rooted and all of the amazing things that lets you do I would recommend never taking an update. ever. Just check in here and you'll probably be ahead of the curve by a day or two...if not--worst case scenario: you get the update 3 or 4 hours late.
<opinion> Also, yeah, 3vo is weak. It's an EVO 3D. Everyone can call it what they wish, but, are we all 12 years old or does it just feel like that when everyone calls an HTC Evo 3D a "Three-voh"...IMO it doesn't look cool, it doesn't sound cool and has really suggested to me that this forum is more populated with 2-fast-2-furious fans than actual geeks. </opinion>
can anyone give me a good reason i should get this phone?? i went from HTC Hero, Evo, to Evo shift (yes i know i downgraded when i went to evo **** from the evo but i wanted a keyboard and i know this phone doesnt have one)
Update. Im not even gonna bother with the iphone, nvr liked the style of it anyway. prefer android.
It'll be the best phone you ever owned looking at your previous lineup. The only time I wouldn't recommend this phone is if you absolutely need a phone you can mod the **** out of. While I do see slow but sure progress in the dev area, it will never be as popular as what you would be used to given your previous phones.
If you really need others to tell you why you should get this phone then there's something seriously wrong with how you view the world.
In all fairness, if you need others to tell you why you should get it, then this phone is probably not for you. I say go with the mainstream samsungs and HTC's and whatnot.
If you want a real phone first and multimedia is not your main thing, this is the one.
I am not saying that is not good but the ET4G is better for multimedia but as phone sucks.

ok well i guess i should have worded this a lil better so some people didn't have to be a complete jerk about it. but i've heard a lot of good and a lot of bad about this phone now. i hear there is a horrible lag in screens switching and videos. but i see this phone hasn't been fully unlocked by the looks of it which i waited 2 months on my shift because i was a unlucky kid who got nailed with a gingerbread model. so I'm not too concerned into the rooting which i enjoy to get the most out of my stuff, but i more so want it for gaming. i like games and the shift runs like crap with games even overclocked they don't run like i would like them too.
but i figure once all the bugs are fixed in the phone it will be awesome so im looking into getting one, but not entirely sure if i should wait and get a better one or just try and get this one now.
thank you to those who were not rude.

The Photon has been the best phone I have ever used. Even coming from an ogEVO where development was great. However, I have been lucky and never experienced some of the issues others have. Games run well on this, even emulated ones. Sound is top notch.
Having said that, if I was in your shoes, I would wait to upgrade. Especially with the chance of maybe seeing a Nexus Prime on Sprint or something similar. As good as the Photon is it has been out since August and will be trumped by something better either this month or next. Might even get lucky and the device will already have ICS on it.
I bought this phone some days ago, moved from iPhone 4. I'm damn happy and photon deserves the buying
Today is Gameloft's MC3's $0.99 deal which normally goes for $6.99 so head to the Market and download MC3 if you like high quality FPS games. I don't know which one's better, Modern Combat 3 or MADFINGER Game's ShadowGun. LOL!

I managed to get a copy yesterday. The thing literally took twenty minutes to download all the extra data
And, since this topic's already here. . . anybody want to play a match sometime? Maybe we could schedule a tourney? I'm not terribly good, but it'd be fun to play some other people from XDA.

That is my #1 peeve about the Market. You only have 15 minutes from the time you download the apk from the Market yet it takes at least 15 minutes on the average to download the required files for that particular apk. WTH! I'll tell you this Shadow of Light, with the multiplayer version of MC3, it's awesome aside from the fact you may find yourself snipered 10 seconds right after the round starts. LOL!

Thanks dude,
Nice game:cyclops:
Any more I'm at a loss, yes flashing new roms is addicting and fun, but now they are nearly all the same in my opinion. No huge difference setting one apart from the other. I like both sense and asop right now running cyanogen 9 and I like it but again nothing big to set it apart. I like controlling things via my phone. Ps3 computer, etc but it seems like there has been a stand still on development everyone is just one uping the next guy with little adjustments to what was already there. Am I wrong, am I missing something or does this wait on ICS really have that much of a hold on things? Just my thoughts. Was curious how other people use their phones and why they like the Rom they have. Beats all they whiny threads about not having ICS at least.
