Ok new thread. Postive feedback posts about the evo3d. While I was at mall with the wife I stopped at the iphone store to check out the iphone 4 and compared it to my evo3d needless to say it was no comparison at all. I had the apple rep in awe even when I was on mobile I totally smashed the iPhone in ever aspect. When I went on wifi the rep put his little I can't do anything phone away and asked to check out mine. Of course Im like no. No one touches the evo3d but me. I did go on to show him I was over clocked and that the 3d was an added bonus even though I used it all but like 4 times. Also showed him the evo3d has flash. He was shocked. I think he might be headed towards a sprint store lol. Just wanted to share. Also the screen size is way smaller than what I thought. On tv it always looked bigger, but its so tiny compared to my superior phone. And I see my thread got removed "bummer" but a it was fun while it lasted. Thanks to all who posted postive feedback about the evo3d. Gotta love xda.

I'm liking this phone. Gotten a bit more out of it with the "perm-temp" root. Wont be perfect until I can flash stuff (will also make theming a hell of a lot easier for myself).
How did the quality of the EVO's 3d screen compare to the iPhone. Not talking about size. Would like to know if it makes our screen look dated or if the EVO had it's own.

Me to. I just keep checking for that magical day when I log on and see its a go for sure. Also looking forward to your themes man. And I did the permatemp root and it made this phone superior to ever other phone I had. I also left the house for church at 10:am running oc @ 1.8. After church hit the mall with the wife and wished I was somewhere else but I checked out my Facebook, checked email, sent a few, sent a over a 100 text easily, stopped at the iPhone store, talked to my family for about 20/25 min made a few more calls,and took about 11 or 12 photos and when I got home which is when I posted this thread my battery was still at 52%. To me that's great battery life to be oc @ 1.8

My bad thought I should have mentioned that. Man the evo3d held up great. On some photos on the iphone looked better at first. And some looked better on the 3d. But then we blu toothed the exact pics to the opposite phone and the results were the same IMO. The iPhone screen was nice but its no qhd. The rep was even shocked at the 3d picture quality. Only thing I had to adjust was the brightness on the 3d because under that store light which I think is fluorescent I was seeing myself in the pics. On websites the 3d out performed it hands down I can say. On the iPhone websites look small for one and blurry. I cleaned my glasses off and the both phone screens and same thing the rep told me after you have the phone for a while it looks normal. My reply was mine wins.

Come to think of it your absolutely right. I haven't seen a evo3d commercial in a while. I wonder why?? I agree is awsome. And I thought I read someone was able to get ad free working?? I could be wrong though. And themes would be oh so an lovely bonus. Id love to have Hc3d,Darkhorse and Black funk off top. And I wish I knew how how to make the stock msg app have a black background. That would be smooth to me.

I haven't seen a single Sensation commerical but have seenan HTC EVO 3D commercial pretty much everyday (and I don't watch any TV other than Netflix). I went to Sonny's yesterday (was great btw) and they had 4 TVs all showing the same channel and guess what I noticed when I glanced over? An Htc EVO 3D commercial .
P.S. I'm in Florida, Sprint heavily advertises everywhere. Last Sunday I saw a movie and the previews showed the 3D commercial.

I would stick with the Evo 3D. Once you play some 3D games or watch some 3D movies, you will see that it's an awesome feature to have the 3D. If you want better performance and don't care about the 3D features, you can install an AOSP rom. I think the Evo 3D is some of the best hardware out there right now.

Try the EPIC 4G Touch forums as most people only have one phone, and most of the people who frequent the EVO 3D forums have the EVO 3D and not the EPIC.
Good luck to you! I actually just traded back to the EVO because of personal tastes phone-wise but the SGSII is very very nice! I loved It's camera and SAMOLED cannot be beat!
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
looks like im gonna just stick with it
I've have both. Evo 3D is my choice. In fact I gave my SG S2 to my neice for Christmas. Evo 3D is nicer. Not as snappy but the hardware is real quality.
I recently picked up the Evo 3d, and my dad got the E4GT. I've played with both, and while I will say that out of the box the E4GT does feel much more snappy, the combination of the size, "premium" feel (build quality), ROM options, features, and just overall fun, the Evo 3d wins all day. Plus, I am not a huge fan of Touchwiz, and I love Sense, so it's a no brainer for me. Good luck with your decision!
The epic touch 4g is huge compared to the Evo 3D. I actually wish the 3D was closer in dimensions to the evo 4G. I prefer the wider device, vs taller. The ET4G is both wider, and taller than the 3D.
But to your trade question, you will probably need to pony up some $$ with the trade, as the ET4G has a higher resale value at this time.
@OP I am glad you stuck with the 3D. Here in Atlanta at the Sprint service center they are constantly having issues with the SGSII dropping calls, GPS issues, and random reboots. people have been coming in and trading for the E3D.
I recognize that this may not be across the board, but when Sprint's own techs all have E3Ds and say they wouldn't touch a SGSII, that is an indicator to me.

While my experience is just anecdotal, but my wife and I have the same issues as the ET4G users, and I have a Evo 3D, and she has a Evo 4G. It's completely tower related, for me though, because if I leave the tower covering my house, I have almost no issues. But at home (my work is also on the same tower), I don't receive calls, sometimes texts don't go through, sometimes have no data, dropped calls, and I get random reboots. I'm in the Atlanta area.
I have both to .. the s2 is more my fav but I am such an HTC fan that I love the 3d to LOL

Unfortunately, all companies are like this now. I remember HTC had dust under the screen issues with the Hero. Issues with the covering on the buttons coming off. The Evo 4G had light leakage issues, stuck pixels, and the digitizer not attached firmly to the body of the phone (usually only one side was affected). But, it looks like HTC has spent more time on QC on their hardware lately, when I look at my 3D. Now, when we pick a phone, we must choose the one that looks to be the lesser of all evils.
That's pretty much what I did... gave mine to someone I know that wanted the 3D and just paid the $199 for the upgrade on their account and swapped it out. Honestly I hated that I even wasted my upgrade on the 3D after a while... I think I used the 3D features maybe a week or two before forgetting all about em. IMO, pretty much everything was an upgrade but it's all personal preferences. Had I not been having some medical issues right after I bought it I would've returned it though.
And to the person that says Samsung cares about quantity over quality, let's not sit here and act like HTC has done anything to improve the issues these phones have had since the Evo came out. You'd think by now they'd be able to make a phone without the massive light leakage at the bottom but they're yet to even try to fix it. And let's not forget the debacle with the touch pro where probably 1 out of every 3 of them had the keyboard to go dead. And I won't even start on the tons of problems we had with the Thunderbolts. All of these companies are about the money first, that doesn't mean they have to sacrifice anything. Hell no one is more about money than Apple but they still consistently have the best build quality out there.
And personally between the last HTC phones ive had, i've had more problems than i've had with the GS2. But hey, that's just me.

The Epic 4G is just too damn wide. I almost bought it before I held it. The Evo has great dimensions. Plus the low resolution will be annoying.
I have a Nexus S too and the resolution isn't great even on the 4" screen. It'll be awful on 4.5.

Hello,
I wan to buy a evo 3d for my birthday.
Can anybody explain me why I have to buy it? And why not? (+/-)
Are games like GTA avaidable and playable? I have a itouch 2g now and im getting sick of the error not avaidable. And a Wildfire, Same problem
Hoe good are the 3D effects? Comes it Out your screen?
Are there 3D games and movies avaidable?
The difference between the evo and the sensation?
Thank you.
Evo 3D is a good phone, a bit heavy and steady, 3D is good and effective but not "impressive" (you have to find yourself at the very right location, unlike a 3D screen with glasses) and the 2D / 3D camera... just sucks : blurry, laggy, a hell of a deception. For that matter, choose another model or brand.
Kochise
when is your birthday and how much are you willing to spend?
the 3d is a great phone but its almost 1 yr old and thats pretty dated in technology world. But up to you, im happy with my phone as it outperforms anything thats comparable in specs. but to each his own
Because it doesnt look like the other phones and its so thick, fat, big and radical
Anyway the Backside is sexy
@ktrotter11
The Evo isnt one year old... 6 months
If you're interested in seeing the 3D effects, no one here can really justify an answer. It's really something you just have to experience yourself, and judge whether you like it or not. Not everyone is able to see it well. I, myself, have no problems with it at all. I could watch an entire movie on it and not get a headache or anything.
My suggestion (not sure how it works where you're from), go to your carrier's store and play around with one. If that's not possible, see if anyone you know has one and play around with it for a few minutes.
I started a similar topic just now :/

Mine dhd never once switch off herself, and what a phone. Tomorrow asda will take it back, I will hold to dhd - in april come ics, don't mind wait month longer opposite evo for ICS...
You should look somewhere in a store if you like the 3D. If you want a good camera and dont like the 3D so much, then you could better buy a Sensation or some other phone. For me the extra RAM was a big plus of the Evo 3D, but 1gb is kinda standard on the phones from now. Games like GTA will be playable for sure, but think some older phones might also with some lag moments sometimes.

The price in my country for the Evo 3d is €350, or in dollars $463.
The Sensation cost € 382,50, and in dollars $507.
Phones like the samsung g S2 cost € 466, $617,61
I hope I can get €200 (total) for my old phone and Ipod, and i get around €100 from my parents.
I maybe sometimes got a bit feeling that its coming out the screen, most of the time you can see depth in the screen.
Lol Sensation is an older phone, if you wont use camera a lot then the Evo is better for sure.
So before I buy the Evo from Asda in the UK. What's the issue with hboot 1.49 based phones? Do they have a mad mobo or something?
If you do little bit research on xda and google, you can find how many people return them, I should done research first, same me time for transfering all data to evo and back to dhd, dhd is THE BEST...

I have a Evo 3D myself but would prefer the Galaxy nexus given a chance:
- If you are into rooting, Evo 3D has (IMO) best choice and variety of ROM's and has one of the most active developer community.
- There are 3D games and movies available and for a first time viewer/player, you would be enthralled. It could cause eye pain if prolonged viewing.
- Has a microSD and thus unlimited storage (Nexus does not)
However, do remember that Evo3D is nearing a year since its release which in cell phone terms means almost nearing end of life.
-- Just my 2 cents!

Any product can have a problem... why didn't you take it back and ask for a replacement? If you got a second one and it did the same.. surely then you would be in a position to complain about it and be a little respected?
I'm sorry you had an issue (I'm not an Evo 3D owner), but this really isn't fair on the product.
That's what my Sprint Rep told me he heard from someone at Corporate. Take it for what it's worth.

Just saw a Samsung Note in the mall yesterday at a Best Buy Mobile store. Man, that thing is massive. And I thought my HTC EVO was large! Really, a little too big for my tastes. If I had that phone I'd have to use it with a Bluetooth headset, because I just can't see holding it up to my ear.
On a related note, why is is that this Best Buy Mobile store in the mall gets all the best gadgets, even before all the other regular Best Buys in my area? I mean this is the first place I've seen the Note, they had the EVO 3D before everyone else, and they've had an ASUS transformer prime on display for weeks, when none of the other Best Buys even have them in stock? I don't get it.

Haha...your second paragraph saves you here.
Why is it that our phones are under rated. I mean seriously? I see so many reports that the GS3 is the best Android phone of fall 2012, I would disagree. Although it is a great phone, I would not think that it is the best, if anything I would say EVO LTE and GS3 would be tied at that spot. Would anyone disagree? This is really irritating me!
Its not underrated, its more like under the radar. Lets face it the EVO is a small name in the industry when you have a device across all carriers which is selling at record numbers. The EVO is viewed more as the little engine that could.

So I wonder why they didnt just keep the EVO name across the board rather than come out with the One Series? IMO, I think that the sales for the EVO name aren't gonna stick in the future when they are bringing out same products with different names. Samsung and Apple both market for pretty much one specific phone and run with it, aside from the new Galaxy Notes

Don't forget the promo for the Galaxy SIII is out of control, almost every other commercial is for Samsung that's another big part of that. It has become the house good name for android.

Does anyone care whether or not our phone gets the publicity? As far as I'm concerned we have the best kept secret in smartphones.
The constant bashing for the LTE issue is not helping it either. Sprint still has not said officially that they are working on a fix with HTC. This phone had LTE issue in the lab before it launched but Sprint needed the phone to launch otherwise they would risk losing many accounts coming off their 2 year with no new flagship phone to go to. So it was rushed out the gate, and HTC/Sprint have tried to fix the modem twice with an OTA, but have failed both times. My hope that a 3rd round will correct the issue is getting weaker by the day.
I think I'll be taking advantage of the GS3 upgrade on Black Friday and rotating the "EVO Can't do-LTE" to of my other lines that really doesn't care about 4g. Love the EVO's battery life, screen, performance etc, but the LTE issue just hits hard. Kinda like buying a sports car with a nice V8, it looks good, but the manufacturer just hasn't figured out how to get the computer to make all 8 cylinders fire correctly so it's running on 4 cylinders for now.

So I wonder why they didnt just keep the EVO name across the board rather than come out with the One Series? IMO, I think that the sales for the EVO name aren't gonna stick in the future when they are bringing out same products with different names. Samsung and Apple both market for pretty much one specific phone and run with it, aside from the new Galaxy Notes

The difference between HTC and Samsung, I believe, is their market approach.
Samsung has it right. They sell one major phone on multiple carriers, advertise it in ways that appeal to their largest audience (probably 15-35). And they have a few other lower end phones too.
HTC doesn't understand this, I suppose. The One series was halfway there. But then the EVO is too exclusive. Then, to dig HTC deeper into their hole, instead of focusing on marketing and updates for the One series line up, they for some reason think they would come out ahead by spending time and money in development for these new One X+ things.
WTF?
Though I am an HTC fanboy, mostly a Sense Fanboy, I don't deny HTC's bad strategies as a company. If I didn't think TouchWiz looked like something from the Dollar General, I might get a GS3. But what it comes down to when a user chooses a phone today, is what User Interface does that person prefer? Sense? TouchWiz? iOS? BlackberryOS? That is the determining factor, I believe.

BTW,
I loved the other day when a coworker was showing off her new iPhone 5 to everyone who was gathered around. She said, "AND IT DOES VOICE TO TEXT NOW!"
Sorry, had to make fun.
i work at best buy and everyone looking for the gs3, after showing them my phone. they are like i will take that one. i have yet to have a customer take the gs3 over the evo. but they just didnt know the evo was even out. and they were coming from the old one.
i think the evo lte is the best phone out.. not just because i have it but the screen is bangin.. battery life is great.. the lte beats any other phone in quadrants.. linpacks.. antutu benchmarks u name it.. it is funny how the LTE gets NO love at all.. when ever i read write ups on phone tec the LTE never ever gets mentioned.. the LTE is the beast thats nobody talks about.. the gs3 is a dope phone also i just dont like touch wiz at all.. im a HTC guy.. my babys mother has the gs3 i rooted it for her and flashed a few roms on it.. 2 top phones out rite now the evo lte & the gs3!!! :good:
If you ask me, I say this phone is overrated to be honest. This is coming from someone that has owned all 3 of the EVOs. The specs of the phone looks great on paper, but the phone just doesn't perform that well in the real world. Seems like there's more time spent trying to get the phone to run right instead of just enjoying it. HTC failed BIG TIME when they screwed-up the phone's ability to multitask properly. I've been a member of this site for over 6 years and have a very low post count since I've mainly lurked throughout the years. A large portion of my current post count is because of this EVO and trying to get it to run smoothly. This is my second one, btw.
Anytime you have to rely on a web site to fix multiple problems for things that a manufacturer should have made sure were working properly before selling to consumers equals a huge fail IMO. There's a large portion of people on these forums that don't mind spending all of their free time tinkering and fixing their phones, but for an average consumer that leads a busy lifestyle, do you really think they want that kind of hassle, especially if they're not tech savvy? HELL NO!!!

So what do you tell them when they see the S3 with LTE and the EVO LTE stuck on 3G all the time?

Well, we all know the evo line has had its red headed stepchildren through the generations. I don't care what anyone says about the LTE, IMHO, I made the right choice.

The EVO is exclusive to Sprint, they created the brand because the needed a big push to compete with the other service providers. They weren't just trying to out do Apple, never were. The Apple bashing was to help solidify the brand as a recognizable device easily capable of matching the top smartphone at the time. The biggest problem is that the EVO line is Sprint exclusive, its not underrated by any means
Lol...I own both. I love both
Both will be old news within 2 months lol

Does anyone care whether or not our phone gets the publicity? As far as I'm concerned we have the best kept secret in smartphones.

I agree completely.
I also think the built in kickstand sets the EVO line apart from others . I watch a lot of netflix at work and see other peeps.using books to hold there phone up
I wish it was a bit beefier but its just as strong as the old kick stand and has the built in spring for extra support. I like that u can flip it any way I want and still prop it up
