Im curios to know how many people will take back their Evo 3D if no root method is found within their first 30 days. Im still debating myself, but I think this may be a way of getting Sprints attention. If there is a significant number of people who threaten to take theirs back, maybe Sprint will put the heat on HTC too.
I've threatened to but I am not sure that I will. Rooted or not this phone is ridiculously sick and I am having way too much fun with the 3D feature! I remain confident that HTC will get this done, perhaps with the 2.3.4 update.
You'd have to take it from me!
(Please don't take it from me!)
I won't. I like it fine now. Root would, of course, make it better.
I LOVED my EVO 4G, rooted with Myn's ROM Picked up the 3VO on Friday, was not super blown away at first, but now three days later, it is a more mature and refined EVO 4G, polished up in all the right places, and overall a better device. I like it over my ogEVO for sure, but it's not night and day better.
But seeing the reviews of the Galaxy S2, makes me think 99% I will go for that when it comes out. I am a sucker for the Super AMOLED+ screen, just go to an ATT store, check out the Infuse 4G, it uses the same screen tech, and instant boner looking at that beauty, the colors are jaw dropping, and viewing angles perfect.
Plus the Galaxy S2 is super ****ing thin, I am sucker for razor thin phones, they look so much more futuristic to me. And the design of it being an all black thin slab, just looks so cool. When Sprint gets it, it will be hard to resist.
Brand new review;

Lets fact it not that many people will return this phone to have the impact you are looking for; the fact is it is not just a good phone it is a stellar. Even without root, this phone is one of if not the best on the market right now. I won’t get hung up on the root for now because I am sure either, HTC or the community will unlock the device.
I'm still debating as well if I should go back to the Evo 4G or stay. I do love all the new features, design, and speeds...but mess my rooted apps. I would also like to add some lockring and battery mods. I had a rooted Evo 4G with Sense 2.1 + 3.0 already (MikGv2.4) and mess the mods and themes. Hopefully HTC gives out the bootloader soon. If they do, then I'm definitely staying with my Evo 3D.

x2 on that new Samsung coming out... It seems very tempting to make the trade if HTC doesn't unlock these phones. I'm not really concerned with 3D. It's a cool 'wow' factor to friends but I personally don't really use it on my own. I guess when it gets closer to time for the new one to come out, I will make my decision then... Right now I'm leaning more toward sticking with HTC.

+1...I am SUPER impressed with this phone overall. The 3D turned out not to be too gimmicky, but rather awesome.
Love it but it will go back if no root.

Learned this lesson a long time ago: never buy anything on a promise! I for one will not return it whether it gets root or not. I'll have a LOT more respect for HTC if they do unlock it, but me personally, I bought it knowing it was going to be locked. The "talk on the net" about HTC unlocking it via an OTA update is/was always just heresay. I also have confidence that whether they unlock it or not, eventually someone will pwn it.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.
I will stick with it. I am very satisified with the improvements root or not and i do not see anything much better coming out for quite some time. After testing many different android phones I can say this one has the best battery and features and i have tried many out from the G1, mytouch, hero, droid, evo4g, epic, thunderbolt, nexus s 4g. No phone is by any means perfect out of the box. It all comes down to if it works for you and gets you through the day.
27 days & counting. It is a great phone & a nice improvement from the original Evo but I can't see going any significant time without root. Plus I pretty much had my eye set on the GSII anyway. Figured I wouldn't loose anything from trying this out for at least 30 days.
Sent from my Rootless....but still pretty awesome Evo 3D using XDA Premium App
mine went back today. too many little issues aside from locked bootloader.
and btw... sprint is trying to charge existing customers $35 restocking fee to return the EVO3D. you can get it credited back if you know who to call and ask for it
Only a few hours in but it already seems like a keeper to me. I like the improvements made and the only thing I miss so far is the hotspot unlocked. Even without root it's a really good phone so far. Kinda like the Evo's big brother.
Root will happen its just a matter of when. I got the phone Friday and i got to admit I was somewhat let down. After having it all weekend and it now being monday, I will not be going back to 4G. The 4G phone was probably one of the most enjoyable phones I have ever owned. Not 1 single complaint about it. But this phone has so much more potential. There are a few things I don't like such as charging port location, no seperate hdmi, but I can live with it. This phone is definately more advanced than the og evo. And i will always have a place in my heart for my beloved 4G but i am keeping this one.

Every launch phone usually has issues why do people expect them to always be perfect. IPhone couldn't send mms until like 2 years after it launched LOL. Hope some take it back and the sgs2 let's them dwn like all samsungs phones usually do.

I very specifically did not over-accesorize this phone, because while at the moment I'm enjoying the phone as it sits......There's no way I can keep this thing for 22 months without being able to theme it and flash custom roms.

literally 30 minutes ago i dropped my epic and the glass on it shattered even though the touch screen still responds fine just hate the feeling of it. This is not the 1st time. it would be the 2nd time i would have to pay $100 to sprint to get a replacement with their insurance. its been 2 years so i do have an upgrade available. im thinking about just selling the epic for about $100 and spending $100 out of my pocket for the evo 3d. I think i should buy it at bestbuy and their insurance which covers screen breaks but is $3 more than sprints.

I upgraded from the Epic. I think it's largely a good upgrade. I'll be happier once the devs have their way with it.
yes do it ten chars
Do it, but avoid bestbuy insurance. It sucks.

Can you elaborate on this for me? I've been pleased with it so far. My sister in law has her insurance through Sprint and had to drop $100 for a new phone after hers was run over (oops). If I did that, I'd get a replacement for free as long as I can bring in the damaged device. The only downside I've seen so far is that if my phone is lost/stolen then I'm pretty much SOL because they require you bring it back. Is there something else that makes BB's policy suck that I'm not aware of?
Thanks!
Coming from an epic myself, you will be pleasantly surprised. I know dumping Touchwiz and going back to Sense was huge for me. I don't even miss the physical keyboard

Do the upgrade as soon as possible,what are you waiting for.The epic is not a good phone.Put your trust in to HTC QUIETLY BRILLIANT!!!!!!
10000% love this phone
I believe Sprint will replace broken glass, in store, without filing an insurance claim. I've seen many people say they got their OG EVO screens replaced by Sprint, not sure about Samsung phones, not sure if it will be the same with the 3D. I would suggest upgrading and sticking with the Sprint insurance.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I've replaced the OG EVo screen, it's not too hard if you watch a Youtube video I'm sure it is similar for the epic. But you may as well do an upgrade. If you don't then you are passing up free stuff, as you could just do the upgrade and sell the phones you get from it.
Bk
I use Squaretrade knock on wood only had to use it once but it was quick and painless just keep an old phone around u can turn on for a day or 2 till they send you a new one. There is always online 30% off coupons running around as well.
I would link it but I guess I don't have 8 posts yet.
Hey guys I don't think you remember that simply overclocking the hummingbird proccessor to 1.3 ghz blew away alot of phones. Not saying the epic is faster than the evo 3d l, but worthy of an upgrade? I'm not sure. I wouldn't mainly because of the screen the keyboard, and the awesome hummingbird processor.

The epic was a great little phone, and is getting updated to 2.3 fairly fast. It doesn't have the most support available anymore, but the devs that are still there do decent work. I enjoyed mine a lot until I passed it down to my mother. She really likes it. S-Amoled screens are nicer than the EVO3d, but I would rather have a bigger resolution than a Super Amoled screen.
I made the switch to the 3D on day 1...dont miss my Epic one bit...sure it takes a while to get used to the different layout, but you are going to have that with any new phone. The phone, to me , feels solid in my hand and I have been more than happy with how quick and responsive it is. Someone mentioned overclocking the epic to 1.3ghz...uumm, not the same at all...I tried that and I can honestly say that a 1.3ghz overclocked Epic does not come anywhere close to a 1.2ghz dual core 3D (one core...two cores...hhhmmmmm...no brainer to me).
Make the switch, you'll be happy you did if for no other reason than you are done with Samsung.
epic is better 2 me..music plays louder on pANDORA..4G ALWAYS GETS A SIGNAL..my evo 3d doesnt even get 4g lk my Epic did..Iam switching bak until a better phones comes along

I upgraded from EPIC to 3D. Only one day in, so too early to know. My very early thoughts:
1. Missing the colors and blacks of the SAMOLED screen on the EPIC. If I do not see it side-by-side, it does not bother me too much. But side-by-side...wow... I miss the EPIC.
2. Resolution is very nice. This is one of the main reason I upgraded. However, en practice, I do not notice it much. And some of the icons look blurry (not sharp) to me. Maybe they are not made for the qHD res.
3. I used to love HTC Sense, but I have grow to like a more vanilla-like experience. I was using LauncherPro Plus on the EPIC. Sense is just a bit too much for me now, for some strange reason. Personal preference here... I will checkout how LauncherPro Plus works on this, but cannot wait for a cleaner ROM.
4. I have been yearning for the community support of the original EVO. The EPIC never really picked up as much as I'd hope. As an early adopter of the 3D, it remains to be seen whether it will get comparable support as the previous EVO. Eagerly waiting on this one!
5. I miss the keyboard, but not as much as I thought. The screen is large and the soft-keyboard works very well. Maybe someday I will get to have my cake and eat it too.
6. To me, the 3D is even more gimmicky that I thought. I did not buy the phone for it, but boy did it last less than a minute. I guess I should watch the movie, but it is on the tiny 8GB card that came with the phone, which I promptly replaced... need to re-download the content to see.
7. Build quality feels amazing. Solid. But also heavier.
That's it for now!

kinda sad we are still waiting yes i understand its still being tested and tweeked
i just think its funny that a gimmick phone gets root first and ITS AND HTC phone
Well they did promised that every phone after the 3D will have a unlocked bootloader. That even means the hero 4G also.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
i understand that but why would you have to replace the HBOOT if it came unlocked ?
I understand that HTC is trying to cheap malware and such away from the phone but most people who are going to get it are people downloading infected apps from the market I would think? Does having a locked bootloader protect that? I would also think encrypting everything would take more resources then not? I dont know much but thankfully my flashing withdraws will stop soon

My bad Cheesy. My previous post means nothing due to the fact that i dont even believe that it shipped s-off. if it did there would be no reason to check and make sure it deosnt say s-on or replacing the HBOOT for that matter. So your OP does make sense and rings a bell. I guess HTC went back on their word again, either that or they thought the CHA CHA wasnt really that important to unlock.
Well since my EVO 3D is going back on Tuesday and i am waiting on the SGS2 to come out i won't miss the playing around with root from HTC and the Dev's...I am sorry but i do not believe S-OFF was leaked and went on youtube they are not that big that they would have leaks.
So enjoy and hope you guys get the root soon from either one of the sources.

You don't believe it? There is video proof. And it wasn't a leak per se, one of the members just accidentally posted the video publicly. S-OFF is coming soon, probably within a week or so. Sooner than the GS2 is coming to Sprint. So if it is a matter of not wanting to wait...I'd reconsider.

Not flaming but very curious. What does your last two post have to do with the topic @ hand. Secondly, why would a group of developers who have been on the android scene and responsible for previous s-off exploits have to lie and manipulate the android community to gain brownie points. Seems out of character and a first time ever in developer history as far as I know.Maybe you should do a little research before making poor assumptions.

If I've said it once I've said it a million times. Samsung Android phones are garbage, the only savior was the Nexus S. Everything else was crap.
I've yet to see one with completely functional GPS, a radio that works, a build quality that doesn't seem like some dollar toy you buy from china, capacitive buttons that work properly, hardware that properly reads battery levels, ect ect ect. Jesus man, Samsung can't even get the font on their lock screen right, You see the top 1/2 of each letter of the month, and only 3 letters max will show up
That is just the basics. The real issues run so much deeper.

The SGS2 GSM has been doing very well.There is not going to be a lot of difference from gsm to cdma and again if all fails without spending a dime i can come back to the 3D if i wish and maybe by that time HTC OR THE DEV'S might stop playing around with S-OFF so i do not lose out i try out the photon for 45 days free sell it get the SGS2 try it out most likely keep it due to the phone being better but if not the can i can always switch back.
You realize you have one chance to do a 30 day I don't like my phone exchange?
Good luck with the SGS2, they said the same thing about the regular SGS and that phone was a pile.

As someone who has tried both brands multiple times in the distant past, recent past and very recently I am going to have to call bull****... True, any brand of anything has its pros and cons, but when comparing samsung and htc htc doesn't even come close to samsung in the problematic-issues category.... There are some issues that go back many generations of samsung smartphone that seem like they will never get resolved.

Just took it apart and seems to be an easy fixable phone for replacing broken LCD or digitizer. I also checked there is 1 led per soft touch key on bottom so thats good, usually they would do one for every 2 buttons. The status led indicator seemed well placed, so i assume brightness of it maybe would be able to be adjusted in programming rather then hardware. Here ya go..

Thanks for being the brave one. And it's good to hear that each of the soft-lit key are powered by an individual LED, rather than just 1 or 2 which would often mean uneven lighting.
If I attempted to dissemble my Rezound I might just pop an ulcer in the process.
lol no problem, i guess now im just going to wait untill the full root comes through so i can start looking to see if the led's can be set to be brighter and if the speaker can be louder

I don't understand why anyone would continue to buy moto products.
The DX1 was locked the hell down and didn't get any "new" roms until 2nd init was discovered. I don't know why anyone would make that mistake twice with the X2.
Then the Bionic? Who in the right mind would buy that phone after it came out so late? How can you support a company that can't get their **** together for months?
The Bionic was an attempt by Moto to take $$ quick off the publicity before the RAZR came out, lol.
But yea, I didn't do **** with my X1 the whole time I had it, I just started to get involved in the Dev world in August.

yup, that's why i stick to HTC for my smartphones. my first was the eris, second was the inc, and now it's the rezound. i've used PLENTY of motorola/samsung products and damn i can't stand them lol
honestly guys i love moto phones more than htc. First off the thunderbolt pissed me the hell off with its heating up issues and battery issues and all that crap was so annoying, u dont keep a phone to use as a heater. When the samsung charge came out i jumped on it, loved it for the reason that it didnt heat up AT ALL even if i used the net for a long time. But it suckkkked software wise. The bionic was really good liked it a lot but still wanted a more detailed screen so when the htc rezound with the smoothness in software came out i loved it. So far with this rezound im happy, made me think good about htc again, but ya motorola has always been loyal to me
Eh, to each their own. I've never had any problems with htc so that's why they're ok to me! Lol

Yea, my buddy is having so many LEGITIMATE issues that today Verizon finally agreed to warranty replace with the Rezound. He just texted me the good news. They said they have a "fix" due in December, he said that is not good enough. Which, he is right, we don't pay for these devices to not be able to use them to the full effect. Bad news for him though, he fell for the accessory package, they don't reimburse you for those.

That's bull****. Verizon told me they would exchange my bionic for a thunderbolt or a stratosphere. Why the hell would i want to trade the bionic for the 8 month old phone i replaced with it!
Went from a rooted HTC 3D running at 1.836 fast as hell and hacked to death; to the HTC Resound? No root; no s-off. I remove apk’s; change my htc_bootanimation/htc_downanimation; keyboard layout; etc…I reboot and presto - my changes have gone into the bit bucket.
I am thinking of switching a different phone. I am a Go Go Gadgets kind of guy; 12 cell phones and 2 tablets in the past 2.5 year. How about I try the Motorola razr droid? Or should I wait? I want it and I want it now LOL.
I understand how u feel cuz I'm like that to but I think with these awesome devs we will get s-off soon. So I think you made the right choice but its your decision not ours.
sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. Bata bum ba bum, Im loving it.
The dev's are great; i owe them many many thanks.
I would keep it, this device has way to much potential. I also love my devices and have to have the newest and latest. Im going back and fourth between this and my tbolt(thanks to simply swapping Sims) my bolt is rooted and all jacked up but does not come close to this stock beast! I don't even think the gnex is gonna be as badass as this device when we get S-OFF. Sure it has ICS out if the box but we will get it too thanks to our Devs and still have the option to run whatever crazy Sense builds they come up with. Hope my opinion helped.

True - this phone has to makings of a beast. If this phone could flying it would be on par with a Spine-tailed Swift. LOL thanks
I was also a long time user of the OG EVO and the 3D as welll. Im loving Verizon. And my Rezound. No regrets here. And I was with Sprint for over 10 years. U made the right choice. Don't worry about it:thumbup:

thanks -- I like Verizon and like you was with Sprint for over 10 years. the 4G is a hell of a lot faster.
This is my first smartphone so my opinion may not carry as much weight as the others, but I researched for about 8 months to decide what phone to buy knowing that I will probably keep the same one for about 3-4 years. I went from the Incredible to the tbolt, evo3d, sgs2, looked at bionic, glimpsed at razr, it came down to either galaxy nexus or this and picked this one,mostly because of the screen and removable SD card and heard the camera was great. I also liked the way Sense looked.
I am loving it, but like I said, first smartphone so any of the above would have been fantastic. But the screen is amazing! The other phones' screens can't compare.
Removable SD card is a big plus, someone posted they successfully added a 64gb card so that is pretty sweet.
Have you gone to the Razr forums to see how people like it and if there are issues with it? If not, I would do that before you change your mind about this beauty.

Not sure if anyone is aware but Sprint no longer carries the Evo 3D. You can go to their site and look and the Evo 3D is no longer in their line-up. Some retailers still have some in stock, as of now RadioShack is offering the Evo 3D for $29.99 for new upgrade or add-a-line.
lmao! umm yeah. that's been the story for over 2-3 months now. lol. But oh well, you just now figured it out. Discontinued a long time ago. Sadly, the Evo 3D really is a great phone. But they can't just have 60 phones in their lineup. wish they could keep this one.
they need to grow a sack.
with ICS, the device should be a front runner, and HTC devs should have overclocked the GPU a tick to keep it up with other devices coming out. They could have kept selling the damn things, for the same price, it's all about how you market a product... and with hardware, as always, the performance is only as limited as the restricting software loaded to it.
truly disappointing. with ICS available, they could still be marketing these devices at 100 bucks a pop, even more, and people would still be buying them up.

None of this matters if the phone doesnt sell. It clearly didn't meet their expectations on the sales end which is why they elected NOT to put 3D on the next Evo. Doesn't matter what the hardware is, if people aren't buying it they aren't going to keep paying HTC to make them. Pretty simple business practice there.

The GS2 killed that phone. I had the 3d and figured it be just like my OG evo and i would keep it for a year. I got really bored with the phone. It was like they sold us a cool 3d phone and said have fun go find tour own 3d stuff lol. The phone didnt sell bc it wasnt that big of a difference from the original evo except the 3d and well there wasnt alot of 3d stuff available so what was the point in getting it. The GS2 how ever was thinner faster sexier and had a way better camera. The day the GS2 hit the shelves the 3d was done. I jumped ship asap

yea and they should still have nextel phones, just gotta market that push to talk feature better! *chirp chirp*
on a more serious note... glad you aren't the one making the decissions for sprint though
Marketing ICS
The general public seems to be a little uninformed about android versions. I work at best buy mobile and often used android version as a selling point (Especially when the Galaxy Nexus came out with pure ICS). However I don't emphasize software version as much now since most consumers have no earthly idea what it means. even after explaining, most customers respond with a lack of enthusiasm: "oh... that's neat..."
For myself and probably many power users, It would have made sense to release ICS earlier on the E3D so it could have a better edge on the competition, (iphone, Gs2), but the general public... Android versions don't seem to motive them as much. the early move to ICS would have translated to insignificant increases in sales to justify the release.
Atleast on Iphone instead of saying "The new 5.0/5.1" you can just say, "it's loaded with icloud." Consumers respond a lot better to that. even though I like selling androids better. especially after apple screwed up my evo LTE pre-order (was supposed to get it day after my birthday)

You know I don't have my head up Sprint's butt or my face constantly glued to XDA. So when someone makes a post that may be a little behind or in the wrong forum, coming out and try to make fun and humiliate them only pushes people away from the site. Next time show some courtesy and some decency and correct them in a respectful manner. Some people such as myself didn't know this until I went to add-a-line and saw it was no longer offered, others may see this post and find the same info and see a good sale for a great phone.

Another point is that HTC screwed up on this phone. About 70 percent of the people who've had this phone say its glitchy. I inherited this phone from my dad and when he had it, it would reboot or shut off by itself. Had it not been for it glitching out all the time my dad would'be kept it. And if a lot of people weren't hearing such things it wouldve been more popular.
