Hi!
I just got the HTC eVO 3D, and I'm still trying to get use to it. I got a little scared when I found out that I can't use the bottom left and bottom right icons on the touch screen (the icons 1 that is to the left of the phone button and the appearance 1 that is to the right of the phone button)
I have a feeling that there is something I'm missing!
Any help would be appreciated! I tried searching this but I had no luck!
Thank You!
Try re calibrating. Go settings display calibrate. Hope it works.

I can't recabrate, but I mean those parts work on the phone anywhere else...The All apps button and the personalize button don't work :S
try rebooting, formatting the phone, factory reset, and if all that fails, then you can try returning it.
*dont forget to back up your stuff before deleting everything lol.
and try downloading a different launcher like Launcher pro or ADW Launcher.

ITs really weird because the touch screen works there, only when I'm in home screen it doesn't:S
Download a free app called TouchTest
We've been talking about some screen issues in another thread, seems like its common on the Evo3D

Yeah, so all the way at the bottom I can't touch anywhere...which is weird because I can still use phone call....keyboard etc which are all located in that area:S
Would flashing it to a different rom help?
This is very weird, I also recalibrated it, and its still doing that. The only thing that confuses me is the fact that I can fully use the bottom screen in apps, texting and surfing:S
I have no idea what this is...any other suggestions, I did factory restore is there a way to reflash the phone (compeltely reflashing it) would that matter?
Sorry about the questions!
It may well be worth flashing a different ROM and kernel make a nandroid and give it a go. Very odd tho!

Try a custom kernel like anthrax. I don't think it will work!? But still worth a shot.

I wish there was an explanation If a Custom kernel won't do anything I'll just live with it...I mean I can still get there using the menu button:S and the phone works fine other than that:S
Defective memory address I'm thinking
K - I've not found any other explanation but gradual disintegration of the internal flash memory. What kills me is that there isn't a ready repair.
Anyway, the symptoms tend to grow (I know) consistent with memory breakdown. Many functions work in landscape and not in portrait. Unfortunately some key functions have no other solution - mandating (for now) a phone replacement. That seems really stupid. In the new SSD world there are memory bridging utilities that work with specific drives. These test and re-do the logic map that sits between OS & apps and SSD. Like the old sector tests but not.:cyclops: Can't find such a thing for Android. Maybe because Android is CHAOS and IN HELL?
so i had an htc hero for 2.5 years, and made the decision to finally upgrade.
this is just my 2 cents so far (quick review)
i like the phone. there are a few things about it that just seem funky though, and i know some of you are working on fixes.
i dislike:
-the on-screen menu button. should be re-mapped to the recent apps button, and long pressing the recent apps button should open up the app switcher. the app switcher itself is annoying. i don't like scrolling through cards. i miss a bunch of icons popping up and me picking which app i was using that way.
-the multi-tasking issues (gr)
Wait upgraded... From.... Hero.... Congrats .. And Idk why everyone wants buttons re mapped I guess some features are used more my some people then myself. I n the multi tasking I'd annoying we all agree with that lol.

i know right? i was used to it and it worked for me. i even develop themes lol. but i used a droid2 to test them on. i liked the hero.
to be honest, i miss the trackball. SO MUCH easier to edit text with. like, seriously.
I think it is great you got much use out of the Hero. I am glad to see that when other people use/try out every new phone that comes out. Not throwing stones but not me. Takes me too long to learn all the ins and outs of a new phone.

I agree, and I was one of those. I spent two days with the new evo from the OG EVO, and I almost forgot about the things that I was so used to. There are so many pluses to ICS. Maybe it's the beautiful screen that distracted me like a swinging pendulum hypnosis, or the FAST camera. Huge step up from EVO 4G. If I was coming from the Hero, I would have jizzed!

Well...... Welcome to the EVO 4g LTE
As for the stuff you dislike, you can flash a rom to get rid of the on screen menu button and make one of the capacitive buttons the menu button. I think you can get an app to make the multitasking look different... I remember something like this when using gingerbread.
I don't have any multitasking issued but I do have a bit of lag when switching tasks or just lag in general.... If that is what you meant.
pkmn rom is the heavy weight champ. unlike most, I like the multitasking button but i hated the three dot menu. The pkmn rom let's u remap buttons with long press options so I have menu set up for long press home and toggle off the three dot menu - it's perfect. You can also change the multitasking to the stock Android look. it's the perfect rom - yall should check it out
where can I find said ROM? I didn't see it in the dev section. I'll google it

well first off im a user of the,,,,,,, htc hero,,,,,,,htc evo 4g,,,,,htc evo 4g lte,,, I'M in aw with phone,,it's bad ass!!! love how they did away with search button and menu,,and love the recent app,,picture taking is fast!!! everything about this phone is top notch,,the new kick stand is sweet,,picture disply is clear as ****!! Ha!!!!!........
And it'll be the Evo LTE or the SGSIII.
I have handled both and like the Evo more. (rocking a Photon currently)
My one question: is there a RELIABLE AND BUG FREE workaround yet for the botched multi-tasking??
If not, I think that will ruin my experience.
Thanks.
Nope, even with everything I've tried it is still crwp when compared to other phones I've owned, specially stock android 4.1.

Wow, not good. You have tried the custom ROMs that are available with the supposed tweaks to fix this?
Thanks.
I haven't noticed it at all. I can leave an application and go back into it 10+ minutes later and it's still where I left off.

I tried multiple roms and so far it seems there is no fix.
For example I was on the web browser. Backed out with the home key to go to home screen. I then went to settings to change my display settings went back to browser and the whole page had to reload and refresh.
My GS2 and Galaxy Nexus was better then this phone in the performance department.
Not to mention after you start installing apps and setting up your home screens the phone just gets slower and slower and less snappy.

Yep. It's bad.
Bad enough that my lte is sitting in a drawer as I use an alpha cm9 build on my evo 3d. Multitasking, background downloads stopping, and overall sluggishness compared to stock drove me away.

Jelly Bean will be running on the LTEVO any day now, which will mitigate the multi-tasking issue. With that said, I've tried both and the LTEVO was the clear winner for me. The Galaxy is way too plasticy for me.

Nope. Just this phone. I returned this phone due to crappy gps, lag and horrible multi tasking. Having to keep my screen on to download something was unacceptable. I'm on a s3 now and xda app was still on the last Page I viewed yesterday evening and I've played a few games and run a few other apps. Gps is best I've ever experienced on a phone. Hard to say that and Samsung in same sentence lol

Besides the camera and display HTC failed on this phone.
apparently the one x on att is getting update to android 4.0.4 which also has a fix in it to remove the bottom menu bar, the way rom developers have been doing. wounder if the evo will get the same thing.

Yeah, if even that long. The funny thing is that the change is so simple (go find runandhides thread, he shows how he did it) that anyone that knows how to decompile/recompile an all can do it. Let alone HTC, it shouldn't have taken them this long.

No I must agree. You may be mistaken about what is broken with multitasking on our phones. The One X fix removes the black menu bar at bottom of screen in some apps & moves recent apps to a long press of the button. Our multitasking problem is Sense not storing the state of apps once we switch from one to another so that when we do switch or multitask back to original opened app it has to completely restart. This fix does nothing to help that and I don't see HTC releasing one anytime soon seeing as that is how they intended it to work, so from their pov it is working properly.

Have you guys even read the HTC ONE X update thread or did you just read the post the OP posted and see what it contained?
Go read the XDA thread please
I know it has nothing to do with the menu button. Its a RAM issue, and its being reported as being fixed by multiple users.. Go read the thread.
Being "Katty" gets "Katty" responses. Don't make assumptions about others' knowledge

I agree, nothing in the android central article says anything about it. I didnt reference that article. I referenced threads right here on the XDA website.
The discussion regarding multitasking is HTC's "memory optimization". That means the HOX boots with more ram available, not multitasking being what it should be - multitasking.
I really like this phone. I can deal with a moderate task killer. I don't use the phone like I do a computer. All I ask for is a level of multitasking where I can browse the web, change an album or two, send a message, and return to browsing the web - seamlessly. There is clearly enough ram, let us use it.

Unfortunately HTC's current next generation smart phone's have been a big flop. I'm sure this update will make the current user base happy, but it will definitely not attract new users. HTC has been to slow with its updates to fix current problems and unfortunately it took me to install CM10 to finally use multitasking the way it was meant to be. Htc better fix their problems quickly or they'll be the next Nokia.

I knew I wasn't going crazy. My ram percentage was always under 25 percent. Something was very off about that. That's the same percentage my Evo 4g gave off with the same apps installed. Sometimes my Evo 4g was better. Smh. Multitasking won't be updated by HTC until October I bet

About multitasking from what I just saw over there they are getting more free ram avail from get go but HTC still did not make it so apps won't reload but that was one persons account...someone on AP said it was completely fixed...so its hard to say so many people seem confused...

I kind of don't like the phone UI cuz it just seems awkward to navigate and see what you wanna see. I do like that HTC went back to vertical scroll in the app drawer. I hate when my desktop and drawer scroll the same way,..confuses me lol. I like the distinction.
