Reception and call quality? - HTC EVO 3D

Are these two things still an issue? I still have my e3d sitting on my desk just waiting for things to get better. When I had the phone I would drop calls, roam and people would complain abbout the call quality on the other end.
I haven't used the phone in a few weeks so I was hoping that maybe an update had dropped kinda the same way Motorola updated the photon for silent calls. Someone give me some good news

Go back to the photon forums and stop trolling our threads. We get it! The photon never drops your calls and you have an angry boss blah blah blah blah.
I'm sick of you guys!

Apparently you can't read numbnuts I asked a question but by your reaction I guess I have found the answer. I love the 3d but I have a job where I can't afford to drop calls and I just wanted to know if it was fixed. Thanks for crying about it though

Have had my 3d for about 3 weeks now and I have no issues at all with call drops or reception quality. I love everything about my 3d except that we have no aosp yet ... but we will soon =D

Call quality is absolute garbage on my phone.

I set mine to evrc-b.. sounds excellent on calls. Even better if the other caller has it on.

I can understand the people on the other end..and due to our conversations i can only assume they can understand me as well...So it seems to be a non issue..But if you are looking for some sort of FLAC reception quality to enjoy a phone call you may wan't to look else where.
as for dropped calls etc... I drive all over Florida for work and can hold a signal/phone call from Jacksonville to Orlando..I do it every tuesday and friday.

Compared to the Hero I had before the 3D the call quality sux. It's the speaker. that just sounds like crap. My wife still had a Hero so I used them side by side.
The Hero sounded much clearer than the 3D at pretty much all volumes.
Also, The 3D won't go near as loud as the Hero. I use the alarms almost everyday for one thing or another. Using the same ringtone and same notification tone the Hero is easily twice as loud at the 3D.

Coming from the OG evo I can totally tell the difference, man did I love that old phone. I am just hoping it's a software issue and not poor hardware. I love my 3d and am holding onto it in hopes that a fix comes

Its not software it is most definitely hardware..as for the volume of the external speaker,it is easily fixed multiple ways.I personally use equalizer from the market it works great.Sound quality is still crap but its louder crap and it helps so I'm happy.

First day to show off

Well today was the first day back to work after receiving my EVO 3D. Of course everyone knows me and my thing for phones and they wanted to check it out. They wanted to see some YouTube videos they had been hearing about. Boy was that a joke, I couldn't even show this thing off! It won't even make it through a video without it stalling. I'm not sure what to do now, love the phone but with data that barely works, this smartphone is useless to me. I kept my EVO 4G just in case but I really want to be able to use the new phone, not sure what to do...wait on HTC or return. I really hope HTC does something fast!

Oops didn't mean to thank you lol.
Anyway my connection is just fine...I can watch youtube videos on anywhere on 3g with no problem
Are you sure it isn't sprints overloaded network that isn't failing? Mine does fine.
Not having issues but YouTube does prompt you that WiFi will be the best connection since 3D videos use the most data. You can try this alternative.

I have the same issue, I'm hoping I don't have to return it. It really growing on me, but the you tube issue bothers me.

I had the same problem. I was only gettung 25k dL speeds. I tried everything. even returned the phone for another, only to have the same problem. (at least my new one didnt have dirt trapped under the screen). I ran across a way to boost your download speeds by changing the proxy settings. Right after I did this mod it was a little better. Then I rebooted and now im getting consistant 1600k downloads in 3g.

Is possible where I live. there is no 4G. Now, At peak times it probably wont work to well, but I'm not really watching too much 3d content. I've been showing the green hornet to people, that's about it.
I really hope this is a radio issue rather than the network since the Sensation suffers from a similar issue. Speedtest results are pathetic for me (70kbps average and some rare 250kbps... Hurray!!) and coming from TMobile with speeds over 6mbps its just sad. Hope HTC addresees this soon. Glad i have wifi at home

lol, yeah you're right, but even 2d vids stall!
So I just got back from the Sprint store and they had signs up at the repair counter saying there was 3g problems. Kinda weird because the EVO 4G has no issues. Who knows, I'll wait it out longer and see if it improves, annoying though.

Evo3d vs sgs2

I stirred up a **** storm in another sgs2 vs evo3d thread that was closed. To a few angry Evo owners I pissed off.
I guess i should of clarified myself when i said dev support doesnt make or break a phone. 100 devs vs 10 devs means nothing if 90 out your 100 devs suck. I'd rather have 10 awesome roms than 100 mediocre ones. In the end most of them ARE THE SAME. If it isn't built from the ground up like cm7 its all gonna be based off the same SOURCE. So what is having giant dev support worth? Quality over quantity. No offense to the devs. I went in there to troll because of the Evo owners that feel they have a larger **** than the rest of us, not the ones that love they're phone but aren't sheepish enough to admit when something else is better. I love my epic but I KNOW in the end the evo3d is a better device, but to me not by much and that's AFTER Modding. Coming in here and providing facts does nothing for the air heads. So what better way to get their attention than troll and piss them off? There are a million Evo owners out there that are displeased with your beloved Evo 3ds performance. Don't believe me? Google. My buddy doesn't understand why my epic finishes quadrant and smartbench 2010 faster than his e3d with only marginal gains in numbers. Yea benchmarks don't matter, then why do so many people use them and pay close attention to them? The fact is the gs2 IS a better phone and is the first next gen dual core phone to give us.. (wait for it..) NEXT GEN PERFORMANCE!!! if you don't know its because you havent played with one yet. I have. And its ****ing amazing. When I played with it, I felt like I was using something much better than what I currently had. When I play with the Evo I feel like I'm playing with every dual core phone released before the sgs2. All providing mediocre performance gains despite the huge jump in hardware. I feel my epic performs equal to or at worse a bit slower than most of the dual core phones ive played with for christs sake. If you don't realize which phones better between the e3d and the gs2, your in denial. When I say better, I don't mean your personal experience, I mean an over all consensus. And currently, the sgs2 is much better. I think so. And so does the rest of the world.
Just wanted to make a point. Someone please close this thread quick.

yes. I got that from the article. I was just surprised, especially in light of the whole apple/samsung fiasco, to see a phone from HTC that has such a strong resemblance to an iphone lol.
I find it pretty amusing actaully. I wonder what apple thinks , lol

What do you guys think about google glass? Ive used a pair a few times, someone at the university has one. I think they are pretty sweet to be honest. But I keep reading this crazy reviews about how people are going to be using it for "always on" video recording, discreet photos, surveillance..
And then there are the people who think its going to cause car accidents, promote inattention, etc. Others are complaining about the cost (which isn't even released yet) or the lack of apps (again.. not released..)
I don't understand the constant "doom and gloom" outlook the general population and the media have on this. 90% of their information is plain wrong, and the other 10% is misinterpreted..
its so irritating, and definitely "wtf" worthy

There are definitely a lot of people I classify as the "haters gonna hate" category.
half the people using the material strictly for trolling content wake up everyday reading every article in anticipation of getting a pair. But they enjoy having something to troll about and its fuel for the keyboard gangsters.

Poor reception?

Does anyone have poor reception on their s4? The longer I have this phone, the more I realize the awful reception it gets. When I compare side by side with my htc rezound, there is usually a 12-18db difference between the two. My s4 really sees anything better than -88 to 85db and is usually around -100 while the htc is more often in the 70-75 range. I suppose this could explain the poor 4g speeds (6-10mbps) I get compared to the 20-40+ I'm used to. Just wanted to see what you guys get. Maybe I have weak antenna in my particular device but I doubt it considering samsungs history with bad reception. Thanks for reading

Are you using an app like cdma field test or Advanced Signal Status to view the signal between both phones. In the same locations? It will give you the decibels for data and voice.
I Personally haven't seen it to have poor reception. But haven't done alot of comparison with other phones. Have had a Motorola side by side and the s4 was pretty even with it. I thought. Hope those apps help you to see if it really is worse.

I haven't really used any apps. Just going by what Android is reporting in the about phone menu. I'm going to make my phone micro sim to sim adapter later and use my rezound for a couple days and see what happens. I'll check out those apps as well thanks

I'm curious about your findings because I currently have an HTC Rezound and have thought about getting the S4, but I've heard of some reception problems.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone. But I've wanted to smash it more than once because Internet didn't work in areas it worked fine on my rez
