Finally pulled the trigger on the 3D, and I have been reading quite a bit on it. I wanted to know from you lucky folks having had some time with it already, what is your favorite part about the phone? What features caught you off guard, overall impression of the phone? Looks like some people are getting stellar battery life, and coming from the Evo OG, I have high expectations. (Running Synergy on the OG now, and I am digging Sense 3.0!)
Applications that REALLY belong on the Evo, and anything I should REALLY avoid.
I have been looking at the rooting community pretty closely, and it sounds like there is a wee bit o hate and discontent, but I'm sure it will settle down if and when the goodness happens with permanent root.
Thanks guys!
ALSO - What applications have you found to be PERFECT on this phone? I just snagged up a Nook Color just to flash MIUI on it, so I do have my flashing solution in the meantime...
Congrats man! You'll enjoy it, sounds like you've been keeping up on the threads so you know kinda what to expect. 3D is awesome, and I'm an old guy compared to most on here, and it amazes me. Hell, I even purchased Spider-Man and I am not a gamer, but it's a good one I think with some nice depth...really fun. My suggestion is to try to not look for faults in the device, just enjoy it as it is a huge upgrade to the OG and hopefully very soon we'll be some ROM flashing fools! As you can probably tell people are getting pretty edgy and a lot of wars going on here, too much time on our hands, so hopefully real soon lol! So welcome aboard, you're gonna love it!
A breath of fresh air Welcome aboard! Great phone, you will enjoy the heck out of it. Thanks for the enthusiasm.

Lol your rooted sense 3.0 experience won't compare with this device stock. It will be better on your evo 4g until this device is rooted. Just so you won't come compare the experience.
Its a great phone, you won't be disappointed
Camera freezes are the biggest thing for me to worry right now.
Otherwise, this phone is awesome.
If you're not a flashaholic then its the best phone you can buy right now. Even if you a flashaholic, you cannot the deny the dual core 1.2 GHz and 1 GB ram balls this beast has.

No way man, coming from the 4G running sense 3 the 3D blows it away man. Add in the two chichitec batteries and my battery life is close to double what my 4g was getting with a similar setup.
I'm content with temp root for the moment but the second I get s-off i'll have this phone flying.

Man welcome to hell this phone sux huge balls 3D is bad really bad. I have light leakage my screen is crooked my battery life sucks I only have 1 core and there is no permanent root for god sakes I want to be able to flash roms. Idk what these guys are talking about this is such a Downgrade from the OG. If no permanent root before 7/24 I'm taking it back.....
Now that you've heard all the bs, this is the best phone i've ever had my hands on and 2011 I had most of the new hot smart phones my favorite was the OG Evo. This phone is a keeper for sure the 3D is wonderful the phone is completely fast as hell and I really don't have any complaints.
Bang.... That's the sound of my shooter.

I did notice that. Fortunately the Synergy Rom is providing some meantime amusement. I'll have to look into the spideman game, I've been such a nut for Plants v Zombies, abduction 2, and quite a few others I was lucky enough to get from that Amazon free application deal. Thanks for the words, and I'm pretty sure I'll be enjoying it!

Good to know. I'm sure it will tide me over until development allows for alternatives.
SIDENOTE:
Do you have the T-Mo Espresso still? My Fiance has that, and I really haven't found a Sense based rom that is really stable... You know of any? She's on one of the latest nightlies of Cyanogenmod, but I have not been able to find a dumbed-down-enough method of S-Off, so it is still S-On, and I have to do that "update" anytime I want to enter the custom recovery. What method did you use for S off? Seen any good sense Roms?

Self proclaimed flashaholic... but I think I can deal. That's the exact reason I finally went for it, the dual core really sold me on it. Truth be told, I have not even had the luxury of putting hands on one yet. The first one I see will be mine! I feel like Cartman waiting for the Nintendo Wii...

Now THAT is good to hear. Temp-root still sounds good to me. If they've gotten this thing to 1.8mhz without a meltdown, I'd assume it can take some pretty decent frequencies consistently. Time will tell.

Hey just wanted to add that I noticed you said "finally pulled the trigger". Good pun considering you just bought a "Shooter" haha....
I'll tell you what really caught me off guard was the little things they implemented in sense 3.0. On my OG EVO I had to get different apps to do things that are now built-in. It was a welcome surprise. The back speaker disappointed me a little at first, but I weened myself off of it and I'm used to it now. Overall its an awesome phone, but you don't need to hear it from me... I really feel like I have the top of the line for now, and it seems that its only gonna get better.

Well that is good to hear about the 3.0, I've grown pretty accustomed to Sense 3.0 Elements on the OG!
It IS the top of the line, for now, as is all electronic hardware. But I think it will be able to hold up for a full year. Imagine, soon we will be looking back at the Shooter wondering how we ever got along with such a slow 3D phone, especially when 5G and 6G is all the rave... lol
I'll have it in the next day or two... Xmas coming early!
Welcome...you enjoy the speed of this demon....don't you... I miss synergy also but we are shortly ( hopefully ) getting custom roms to take care of that and others that could not be run on the evo 4g. You will notice a few things different and they what ever they are I found are quickly forgotten the more you use the phone. If you haven't already...temp root...download barnacle for wifi tethering and what ever you use...get your titanium and you will be all set. There is a lot of bickering around here...that is true...but one thing I noticed..it is the new users who have no idea what's up come in here and start them...or haters coming in and bashing the 3vo saying it is not this or that( most of the time, they don't even own one).. Or long time community members with a agenda..you are right..once perm root comes along with unlocked phones..it will settle down and become more positive.

MIUI just released their own phone running the software and also Sammy just acquired a guy from Cyanogen so it seems unlikely... but cool nonetheless. SGSIII with MIUI would be pretty snappy.
EDIT: Wow, didn't realize both of those^ things were addressed in the article, maybe next time I should read it first.
Tired of hearing about the sgsII, its like the iPhone's ugly brother, and by the time its out, the tech will already be out dated.
Its got a iPhone wanna be interface, a wanna be iphone look and shape, and too much hype too late. Just get an iPhone already and shut up, at least you can be trendy and show off the shiny apple on the back.
And another thing, why do people feel the need to keep posting Samsung news in an Evo3d forum? Sounds like trolling to me. Ok I feel better now.

MIUI as the default UI? That'd be sweet. I'm a big fan of MIUI but I wish 4G worked on it.
With Samsung throwing it's attention towards Software instead of Hardware now, then they may start pumping out more updates quicker for future devices.

This phone might be the crack to MIUI finally getting 4G to work
And its open sourced so no need to run MIUI if you do not wish to.

Will do, thanks
Maybe it's just me, but I'm so underwhelmed by the communit(ies) for the MoPho. Coming from a Pre, I'm used to a passionate and active community of near-fanatical phanboys waxing poetic on the delights/disasters of their phone. But there's so little excitement/action/enthusiasm around the MoPho. I'm really surprised. Personally, I'm happier with this phone than any other tech gadget I've used. Period. The signals are great - Phone, Wifi, GPS. The battery life is by far the best I've seen on a smartphone, there's no lag, the screen is easily seen in sunlight, the speaker is loud. Without root and just adding some widgets and a new launcher, this thing kicks A$$!
So why is it so dead in MoPholand? Where's the developer action? Am I the only one who loves this phone?
Maybe it's just the nature of the fragmented Android universe?
Or are people just ho-hum about the MoPho?
Or is everyone so happy that they're not spending time on forums b1tching about it?
C'mon mophos! Represent!
I don't frequent this board as much as some others as the Photon works so well with just the stock software and the few modifications posted in the DEV section. I am tired of trolling people that are talking about the SGS2 and I've got my theme how I like it (save for a few xml edits that I am too lazy to try and figure out).
There are two things that I would LIKE but I know will be harder for ME to figure out then its worth. Reboot options (have to edit android policy jar) and power control widgets in the pulldown bar (inb4 widget locker)
I totally see what you mean. However, I do remember when I first got my EVO it was a good 3-4 months before any activity started to pick up.
Honestly, I could care less. With my EVO I was looking forward to developments simply because ..... well there were many flaws with that phone.
The photon stock is sufficiently acceptable for me. Great battery, great speed, i really dont care about roms/kernels etc... All i care about is launchers, widgets and aps thats more than enough for me to customize
And with Android 4.0 coming out, anything I do to it now wont matter because I'll be one of the many curious people to upgrade
I say give it a couple of months at least until after the 4.0 comes out.
Two things I'm looking forward to: Android 4.0 and Nexus Prime.

Also, getting an unlocked boatloader with 4G (without having to jump through hoopes to make work) and other custom recoveries might help as well. It will happen...just very early for this device yet. In my opinion is moving along very nicely.

The Photon is such a kick ass phone all I really needed was root. Now if someone makes a cool and stable (or more stable) as the stock rom, that has a cool theme or offers me some neat functions I will flash it. Other then that WTF else do I need. If you are not happy with the phone or development then GTFO! Don't waste your time or ours *****ing.

Good to know things are likely to pick up over time. I'm glad to see everyone else generally very happy with the phone. There are some tweaks to do - but that's true of every phone. The MoPho has its issues down to things I'd call minor annoyances. It's got all the major issues covered. And they are totally on top of it with the updates. I think we will start getting big bonuses from the Googlerola combination.
I'll keep talking the phone up to everyone on my own.
This phone is so fantastic that I only need root. If some cool rims are developed with working 4g I will surely go that route, but for now I am fine with the way it is.

Things are still in the baby stages here and with the coming of the new Sammy phone I am sure a lot of people are undecided what they want to do. Once the line is drawn in the sand and folks make their decision on if they are staying with the mopho or going to Sammy things will pickup.

Yea, I agree. Fact is that the SGSII Epic Touch 4G is a killer phone and once released, this place will be almost a ghost town.

I disagree. This phone is very well done stock. But in comparison it has its weakness to other phones and when the sammy comes out more of those will be pointed out. But so will some of the places it shines. Give it time and the dust will settle. As of now there is no clear winner, but going either route you cant lose IMHO.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I would have to agree with everyone as well, has the pho even been out for a month yet?
I am very excited about the prospect of the unlocked bootloader w/4g as that is the only thing stopping me from going buck-nutty on this thing with new Roms. Motos have been hacked for so long im sure its only a matter of time before the flow of devs come back once the SGS2 hype dies down.
as for now all I need is root, since 4g is way too much fun to not have at the moment.

Exactly. I LOVE this phone Out OF The Box. Great/Amazing Battery Life. Stock ROM is fine with me. I finally feel I have NO need to put on another ROM. With Google Buying Moto Mobility, sky's the limit for our Super Phone. I can see it in Broad Daylight. I have the Sprint Hotspot on it (for Xoom, HP Touchpad, 3DS and Netflix) it works just Great with only 3G, 4G is Lighting Fast.
I am a happy customer. My wife liked it so much she gave our daughter her EVO Shift 4G and I got her a Photon. Everyone is Circle Jerking with the SGS2. Let them have it. When Sammy does not deliver (like usual) and we have Ice Cream before everyone else, they will be jealous of us and not the other way around. This is the BEST phone I have EVER had. I'm Rooted for My Backup Pro and Titanium Backup and that's it.

The display is very sharp but the Pentile effect is very obvious. It's like a dithering effect. Everything has this grainy effect to it. Charge your battery full and look at the battery meter. If you don't see a large green icon full of tiny black specks, you are in denial. You don't see a solid green icon, it's got that dithering effect. And so does everything else on the screen, but the screen is still sharp and vibrant.

Convenient that.
I call fake. The About screen strangely lists "Icecream Sandwich", but on every Android I've played with it would list the numerical designator (such as "2.3.4"). Things also appear more skinned than stock (I would hope Google has a bit better sense of graphic design than what I'm seeing there).

Edit: Ok, so maybe the above was a bit misogynistic. I apologize. I know that there are many girls who are power users, so I guess there can be many guys who feel the opposite.
Definitely waiting to see what the GS3 has to offer now.

I think they'll have a good & powerful offering... poor design, but powerful enough to catch your eye.
I also think Brownhornet will stick with HTC... and Sprint.
Just when you're ready to get out, jump ship, probably on the tail end of your contract, they pull you right back in.
I hope that's just some sloppy prototype mock up and the actual release version looks like the original. Those photos make the phone look cheap and slapped together.
