I think my evo ltes camera might be broken. Does anybody else have trouble getting pics to come out clear. Mine seems out of focus. Im waiting to replace it due to my otterbox screen protector. I dont want to dail in settings everytime i take a picture either. Ive read hundreds of reviews and its suppose to be a very good camera.

Yes and no. I have taken hundreds of pics. Sometimes i hold the button down and take 20 bad pics in a row. Im leaning towards a hardware problem.

I've got this too, after flashing a jelly bean ROM. I'm going to try flashing a different jb ROM and see if the camera improves. And probably go back to ics if it doesn't.

Ports such as cm10, miui, skip, etc do not take good pictures due to pack of proper drivers

I you power off your phone then remove the plastic back cover and clean the camera glass lense. It might have dirt, finger prints/ smudge on to it which causes your phone not to auto-focus when taking pictures.

I took it to sprint and they cleaned it. I also hard reset it 2x. I think it might be back to normal now.

I seem to only have an issue if I zoom in on something. If I don't zoom, they look fine.
Thats because zooming a digital camera does nothing, you're better off just taking a full picture.

If I have just regular stock, I've only had it a week, and I don't know how to root or flash a rom or any of that stuff to a phone. So am I just out of luck, or Is there any way to fix these issues? I see that one person said they did a hardreset x2, but if I haven't done anything to the phone I'm guessing a reset wouldn't help me either?
I'm soooo disappointed, the camera is about 80% of the reason I upgraded to this pone. But my regular evo took better pictures very easily. I really wish I knew how to do all the stuff people talk about on these sites, but I'm just clueless when it comes to that.
If anyone has a suggestions I would be really grateful.

I can tell you guys that, unfortunately, I am 99% sure its a hardware issue...I've researched this relentlessly after I purchased my basically brand spanking new EvoLTE (less than 20 calls on it, but it already had a bad esn, relationship gone bad lol I guess)..I got it off craigslist..guy had the receipt..box, everything and when I ##786#'d it I confirmed everything he was telling me. I checked everything, one by one..speaker, mic, outside speaker, ports, bootloader, powered on off, finally the camera..pics and vids...everything worked perfectly.....I thought, I never thought to check the auto focus. Once I got home with it(I often take pics of text on the computer screen while working) I went to do this and to my shock the camera wouldn't focus in on text..Or anything that was within 4inches of the camera..I did four or five hard resets, searched endlessly for a reason or fix..tried every non stock app camera in the market..Nothing fixed it, and It still does it to this day.
I worked with at least ten EvoLTE's since then, I always check the auto focus on them (lol glutton for punishment I guess) because every one of them works perfectly. Yet you can find lots of people with auto focus issues on the web. I also have updated Roms, on mine (I'm currently back on ICS) nothing effected it, and the ones Ive seen that have worked perfectly were on ICS, JB, custom roms..no rhyme or reason, which is why I have to believe it's some kind of hardware issue with the auto focus on these cameras. Luckily, for me it only effects super up close photos(completely blurred), while any other photo comes out perfectly. I would of all ready replaced it otherwise.

Hi all,
Couldn't find a thread about this, sorry if it exists.
My EVO 3D has been experiencing what can best be described as phantom touches. I leave the phone alone with the screen on and it moves the home screens in a jittery fashion or randomly presses the screen. Approx middle, slightly to the left just below the centre of the screen and also closer to the home/menu soft keys. It's not a permanent issue, but it does go absolutely "mental" at times making the phone unusable until it settles down.
It also interferes with the lock screen, playing havoc with the pattern unlock.
Tried all the usual... factory reset etc etc but to no avail.
Has anybody else come across this?

Video record it! Then take it to the sprint store and say that you're scared of your phone and get a new one. If it can work for my neighbor, it can work for you! ⊙﹏⊙
Mine does this horribly when my phone is in cold air. My last 3d also had this issue and it was replaced when installing a new digitizer did not help.
It's getting more frequent.
I'm in the UK.. I'd have to be REALLY scared of it to go to Sprint in the US

Mine doesn't do that but there are times when I unlock it and it automagically goes to what ever app is in the lower right side of the screen. My wifes has started doing it also. Even replacements that I have gotten have done it.
i actually just had mine swapped out for the same reason.
did it on ICS, MIUI, and warm.
I say take a chance at running the newer OTA update combo pack that Xhausx put out. It does include some sorry of touch panel firmware update I believe. It's worth a shot just for the hell of it.

Likewise. After a month of having my Evo 3D, the screen would act possessed. No matter what I flashed or did, nothing would make the slightest difference. It got so bad that I ended up returning it.
OP, return it. It's a common issue with these phones.
SAME PROBLEM! i have flashed viper, synergy, olympus, warm, and more im sure! Same problem every time ! Please let me know if anyone finds a fix without returning the phone! THANK YOU!
It is a hardware problem, changing the ROM isn't going to help.
My d1 did the same thing after a year or so. It actually still works as long as you can keep the phone at a certain temp, but as soon as it warms up from use it goes back to it.
My girlfriends started doing that today
downloaded touchscreen tester from the market and what do you know digitizer is jacked some spots show as multitouch with only one finger
ok that helps. so, do i have to actually return the phone to fix the problem? or can i get a touchscreen tester and find the problem and fix it? or is that not even worth the trouble?
Thanks for the help
Oddly I just started encountering the same issue two days ago and now can barely use this phone.
Bit of an update.
I did S-On and so far haven't had the issue reappear. Obviously since it is an intermittent problem, it's not definitely gone.
I'll give it a day or so and report back.

+1 on this.
Now I know it's not me being crazy. I've always had random apps opening up after preforming an action even though I was sure I never touched that app.
I'm really debating switching to the Amaze from the GS2 due to the horrible screen issue the Qualcomm S2 has due to the video drivers being emulated from the Exynos version. Im guessing the Amaze's drivers are made for it right?
Other than that, the things that concern me about the Amaze are the light bleed from the capacitive buttons and random reboots/shutdowns. I know the button issue can be resolved by turning them off, but wouldn't it be hard to see/use them in the dark? How prominent are the shutdowns/reboots? Anything else I should be concerned about? I'm coming from a G1 so I keep my phones awhile
Edit: Just realized there is no S-OFF either. What limitations does this produce compared to a device with S-OFF?

I've never had a reboot or bootloop. Just make sure you read and follow instructions. Light bleed apparently varies from device to device. Mine is noticeable but only on dark background and I actually think it looks cool. Call me weird :/ I've never had an issue really, other than the backcover and case preventing me to get a great WiFi signal. I haven't tried the foil trick. Also, the back cover makes a plastic creeking noise, but a thin folded piece of paper back there fixes it. Sounds kind of ghetto for a high end phone, but the camera and display are great in my opinion and the radio gets great service. There are some good ROMs and its a fast sexy phone. I like it.

You can always try a different launcher.
I think that for some custom roms (specifically xboarder56's) you can disable the 3D effects by a Tweaks app that comes pre-installed in the rom.

This device is more complicated than that.
However once you unlock your bootloader it's fairly simple.
I know NRGs Energy ROM also has the tweaks to disable the carousel and 3D widgets if you want. I actually think it's XBoarder's tweaks app just borrowed.
Like binary said, it's rather simple to unlock and root, just very time consuming on this device compared to many others. Binary put together great step by step instructions.

Everyone has a different opinion on battery life. I typically get anywhere from 16 to 28 hours of battery life depending on amount of use. Got the same on stock ROM with brightness turned all the way down.
If you like Aosp go with galaxy nexus. There is no telling when we will get Aosp Ics. If you prefer Sense though definitely go with the amaze. Its a great phone hardware wise! The real big difference is the software and camera. If the camera is a big thing for you maybe the amaze is the way to go. Its a much better camera.
Great phone, there are only two issues that my phone has:
+The capacitive lights bleed onto the main screen.
+The flash for the camera bleeds into the lens.
Besides that everything works perfectly!
Concerning battery: for me if my phone stays on standby it will last for days, but if i use it heavily it'll give me a good day's use out of it.

as far as battery life goes, mine usually lasts a day (at least 20 hrs), so in that respect i think it's pretty good especially since my old mt4g struggled to get even that lol

I was also torn between these two phones myself. I decided to settle with the Amaze due to the mediocre camera on the galaxy nexus, and also the lack of expandable memory (they seriously seemed to have pulled an Apple with this). The nexus does have the 720p screen (pentile though), but the Amaze offers the perfect blend of screen size and resolution. It seems like we do have a few hardworking devs, so it’s a matter of time before more jump ship to Amaze with more ROMs available.
One of the reasons I went with the Amaze was due to the back of the phone. I actually think hardware wise it is one of the nicest phones out there.
Like others mentioned, battery life just depends how you use it. I get between 8-14 hours depending on my day. That is quite a few 20 minute or so phone calls, texting a good amount, web browsing, g-talk quite a bit and a little BT streaming of music and movies. Streaming of the music and movies will really suck it down quick though. I know someone else who has a black Amaze and.gets 5 hours, but he is always downloading movies and streaming music.
It really is a great phone and it does have a good camera, just have to have decent lighting for a good picture.
Might run into a couple small issues like light bleeding into the screen from the soft keys lighting up. There are a couple apps out there to shut them off. I believe the G-Nex suffers from the same exact thing. That and the flash bleeding when taking a pic. I personally have yet to have that happen though. Seems common enough though.
Good luck! There are some good peeps on this board and especially in the Amaze section.

There's a thread somewhere on here about it, but the gist of it is that the dual flash isn't confined/separated enough from the lens so sometimes you get some light bleed on the bottom (or however you hold your phone while taking a pic).
Supposedly you can fix it with a tiny piece of electrical tape, it basically mimics the effect of putting the dual flash in a housing unit (like the sensation has). I haven't noticed it enough yet to do that, but it does bug me that HTC produced this phone without fixing that...haha

The sad thing is is everyone will jump on board in a problem thread, but then again, those that are enjoying there new toy and have 0 issues won't post a thread just to say this is awesome.
With that being said, we are still within the first 2 weeks of launch, and only 2 days past the official launch date. The dev community is getting geared up, and there are still a lot of great dev's waiting to get their devices.

I know I shouldn't have even bothered with my useless reply...my apologies...
Mine would spontaneously reboot, maybe 5-10x in the first 24 hours I had it. Yes I did factory wipe. No I didn't restore any apps, root, or even install an SD card.
So I exchanged it, and this one seems solid, not a single reboot. I'm convinced there was something wrong with the first one.
With that being said, I love this phone.
I think I have a bum phone.
The stock browser disappears quite a bit. Text wrapping for the browser, gmail app and others isn't right. I have to swipe left and right to read.
Sense launcher has long reload times when exiting apps.
My screen is slightly protruded at the top right corner and the battery life for me yesterday off a full charge only lasted eight hours. Normal work day of checking emails, a few phone calls, browser look ups etc. No games or heavy use.
I'm going to exchange it as soon as I have time.
Stock not rooted or anything.
I miss the search button but have mostly got used to the dots.
My front camera hasn't worked since I switched to ICS. At first I just thought it probably want working yet so I didn't think anything about it. But I've tried quite a few roms now and none of them work. When I try to use the front camera it just switches to the other back 3d camera, this includes face unlock and the camera app.
I'm currently running devils toast .7, everything else works flawlessly. Could this be a kernel issue? I was under the impression roms came with kernel so I've never even tried loading a new one. I rooted and s-offed when it was first available for the 3d.

I'm currently running devils toast .7, everything else works flawlessly. Could this be a kernel issue? I was under the impression roms came with kernel so I've never even tried loading a new one. I rooted and s-offed when it was first available for the 3d.
Thanks

I'm guessing you're CDMA?
But, I haven't had a problem with the front camera with ICS.
What does the mirror app do for you?

Yea I'm on Sprint, CDMA. Every app that tries to access the front camera just uses the other rear camera. It's like the second rear camera thinks it's the front.

Everybody I've seen here that had that issue says it is a hardware issue that was fixed by taking the phone in to Sprint. I've never had that issue myself, but just to make sure it is the ICS ROMs, can you flash back to a GB ROM?

That's what I was worried about, I've got Bestbuy insurance and I've heard it's really not as good as they made it seem at purchase. :crying:
