1. Welcome
2. Congrats on your purchase
3. What did you put on it (app wise?) I had an Evo too. I have @ 80+ Apps now with SPB 3D Shell and the difference between Evo and Photon is night and day.
I needed replacement (long story) and when I got new Photon it started acting funny. I deleted Google+ and all good, but I put Google+ back because I use it. Just saying, maybe you installed something thats killing it?
One last thing (because I was JUST reading something eles) How much space are you using on the phone? Not the SD Card, not the 16Gb (well actually 8.79Gb but whats a few Gb between friends), You have 1Gb RAM, and 2GB ROM, install 2Million App's and ...............You get my point!

you can be using 1kb and one app, if its a jacked up app...........
On a personal note, I never install anything with less that 500,000 downloads AND 4-5 stars. Google+, the new version, being the exception!

I don't know if you used the same sd card that you had in the 3d, but if you are it's a good idea to save the info you need and format your sd card.

Picked mine up yesterday. I'm still playing around with it. Used gps on the way home from the store. It was waaaaaay more responsive than my Hero was. The screen is absolutely beautiful. It's super fast and feels really nice in the hand. The Samsung GS2 was actually too light for my taste. Plus the samsung screen size was a little too big for my smallish hands. Downloading and installing apps happens almost instantly. Really happy so far....but it HAS been less than a day. I've already installed Juice Defender (free) to hopefully alleviate any battery issues.
I do have a question tho. I'm having trouble getting to the media on my SD card. I deleted everything from my SD card from the Hero, dragged my Music folder and Video folder to the card and popped it into the phone but cannot seem to access any of it. What am I missing?
Make sure SD card is mounted in settings

Got it sorted out. Had to reformat my card. Also had to select sdcard2 or something like that in the folders in PowerAmp.
I love it. Got it today... Replaced my N1... I NOTICE QUITE A bit of light bleed from the soft key LEDs though.... Anyone else notice this?

I noticed the same, I dont. My only issue is the current lack of unlock codes (none available at this time - I'm on Rogers).
If someone is aware of a SIM unlock method which would only require Temp root that would be awesome
i too picked it up yesterday
i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the rom
installed the recovery
but there are several issue,
1) tried several different roms, the wifi and bluetooth doesn't work other then the stock rom. ( i also notice the flash light doesn't work when using those roms)
2) stock rom doesn't come with the fancy camera,( the one with smart shot )
anyone find any solution?
Just got mine today and loving it. Noticing quite a bit of screen bleed but it doesn't really bother me.

My usage was 100% on WiFi, yes I had some long periods where the phone just sat but that doesn't change screen on time. From experience the RF network is always the killer. I'd be pretty upset to see under 12 hours on a charge considering I see 14-16 on average using my Inspire 4G (rooted with an RCmix Rom).
Between home and work I'm almost always on WiFi.

My battery experience must be completed supported by my lack of radio network, I would expect a lot less once I'm actually using a SIM though hopefully still enough juice to reach 10 hours at least.

Just plugged my phone in to charge up so I can have a full charge in the morning. It was at 52% when I plugged it in. I had just over 12 hrs of light to moderate use today on that 48%.
I am still on stock sense rom and am using Juice Defender Free on aggressive setting. I saw no signs of the aggressive setting inhibiting performance. So far battery life is not as bad as I had heard it would be.

5GB FREE w/ Dropbox (HTC Sense 3.5 Devices ONLY)

Hey Everyone,
Im not sure if anyone knows or even remembers hearing this, So I figured i'd let everyone know, Cause I myself had no clue. Doing some searching for 3.5 Skins I came across an article that states ALL Sense 3.5 Devices will be offered 5GB Free on Dropbox, Not sure about anyone else but I use DB all the time. All I did was downloaded the app from the market, Opened it up and signed in. About 3-4mins later I got the email confirm that i was given 3GB for free, which took me right up to 5GB. Not bad at all. This will be given to anyone, even if you dont have an account. So thats it, very simple. Just figured i'd share with anyone who wasnt aware....ENJOY!!!
JOn
I currently had.a.dropbox and didn't sign up, and it added 3 gigs to mine...for 12 months. Kinda stupid they take it away lol
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
I didn't get the e-mail with mine? I installed the app right when got the phone Monday morning.
I restored my DB via Ti, and when I just opened the app, I got the email saying I can get the free 3GB by going to some DB website. But it's not automatic and it looks like I need to complete some sort of BS "quest" to get the space. Whatever, I don't use it anyways, I just have it in case it ever becomes useful for me. I just use FTP for most transfer needs.
Still no luck... Signed in, or not.
Really? Man all I did was sign in. Actually I signed In thru the browser. Literally 5mins layer I got the email. Sign In thru yur browser and see if it give you any prompts to get the extra space. Worth a shot

Just signed in with the HTC Browser, so let's see.
I just go the email, it's their whole "getting started" thing where they pretty much want you to install drop box clients on every device you own.
I now have 5.5GB for free. Too bad I never really use dropbox because i have sftp/ssh setup on my linux box.
I have had Dropbox for a while, maybe this is why. I still haven't gotten an e-mail.
Thanks, 3GB extra credited today, my email had gone unread for a few weeks but was still okay to click and get the extra. I have the HTC HD2 with windows 6.5 and bootable Android on my SD card.
Thanks for the heads up as well though I'm late. Got my extra 3gigs today. Will come in real handy....
Just got my 3GB! Thanks
I know that we can't post wares here,but if you google it, they have a hacked APK where you get 23 gigs fo free. It was in general for a while, and got removed from xda.

Experience with EVO 3D

Not trying to brag or anything, but when I see reviews for this phone I see people saying it gives random reboots, locks up, crashes, overheating, and that It's just so problematic..however I never witnessed any of that, my phone never froze once on me and never had any problems like that. I've had this phone for about a month and a couple weeks and no issues
Yeah. Not every phone is built the same. I've had mine since day one. Still runs like a champ.
Don't know what all the fuss is about it's an excellent phone in fact I couldn't be happier

Hmm Unless you don't follow proper procedures with flashing roms and kernels there shouldn't by any instability.
Also make sure u follow the devs suggestions for specific kernels and mods
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Been using this since it launched in the UK. No problems whatsoever. My phones running default, had nothing done to it and It's smooth as butter.
The happy users won't complain or sing praises on forums much as we are satisfied with our product, while those that aren't happy will make themselves heard everywhere.
The only issue I have had is w/the touch screen freezing during calls --- although since I went on a flashoholic binge over the past week jumping between Sense based ROMs, CM7, CM9, and MIUI it seems to have fixed itself. I haven't had any issues all week.
All in all, I love it! Couldn't be happier!
I only really have four problems with this phone.
1 - The battery cover doesn't go on tightly in the top left corner.
2 - There is some dust under the screen.
3 - the phone gets quite hot under use occasionally.
4 - Having a PG86100.zip on the SD card makes it so that you can't boot to recovery through bootloader. Sure, it's easy to just remove it, but sometimes I forget to delete it and experiment too much. When I need to get into recovery in those cases, I can't because of the zip file. On my OG Evo if I didn't want to install the file, I could just say no and then tell the phone not to reboot. With this phone, if I say no, I HAVE to reboot.

Great phone, like it alot, also got an Sensation XE but I prefer my Evo 3D, don't know why, it's magic for me.
It gets very warm next to the camera(s) when I play graphics intensive games and the default music player is cruel, but I got PowerAmp and all in all I'm verry satisfied. Seriously, now the 3D-features aren't used for many times...but it's great to amaze people!
Here in Germany it's just 269€, means ca. 350$, cheap for the given value.
Yep, I never have any stability issues either, stock or rooted. This thing is a very stable beast!
I bought this phone on the release day for my dad's birthday. He had so many problems he had to get a replacement. I swear one day he was doing something on it and out of nowhere he had a reboot. He said it would happen all the time. I took possession of this phone about six weeks ago and have had not one problem at all. Maybe it didn't like him. But overall, this phone is awesome. Wouldn't give it up for anything in the world.

HTC Sense Launcher

I've owned a bunch of HTC phones but have been having issues with my new HTC Rezound. Whenever I exit certain applications the stock launcher reloads and displays the HTC Splash Screen. Seems to happen most often with Draw Something (but does happen with other apps as well). Anyone else have a similar issue or know of a fix?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I am actually surprised to say this but I am going to say it (knocks on wood) anyway. I know exactly the issue you are speaking of with sense phones in general. have had it happen tons of times on phones from the Droid Eris, to Incredible 1 & 2, TBolt, and they have all done this. I am into week 2 of my rezound and haven't seen it once. {walks away and launcher redraws}.
Are you running any tweaks or mods like the leedroid tweaks?

On my Incredible, I used V6 Supercharger to prevent this (and it worked amazingly well!).
I have V6 on my Rezound, and in the 30+ days I've had it, I've had exactly one re-draw of the launcher, and I really think that was my fault. Check it out!
V6 Supercharger
Thanks for the input. Mine is totally bone stock...I just received it yesterday. On my Incredible it would happen once in a great while. On the Rezound it happens almost consistently. And I wouldn't mind if it didn't take the launcher so long to recover.

I figured as much. But that means I'm constantly out of memory which is odd for a bone stock phone. I even turned off back ground processes that might have been sucking up memory. It's bad enough that it makes me want to return the phone.

It could be a memory leak in an app. If you notice it happening with a particular app try uninstalling it and see how it runs.

I've turned off fast boot and cpu timelines which has seemed to help thus far. Worse case I guess I could just restore the phone and reinstall one app at a time. Main culprit definitely seems to be Draw Something though.

Have you checked to see how much memory draw something uses? I know that words with friends is a memory hog.
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
Good call. Draw Something uses 72MB which is nearly twice as much as other average apps. In fact I would argue that it's almost unacceptable. I still can't believe the launcher wouldn't have a higher memory priority over other user apps though.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
I noticed this happens when I use Scramble With Friends. It used about 130 MB of memory. Sometimes more so I uninstalled it. Sense uses about the same amount of memory. I think because the phone gets low on memory it shuts down Sense because it is using lots of memory. Seems ridiculous that this happens, but it does.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Sense 3.5 takes up a ton of memory so when its not used and other programs require more ram sense is unloaded. Once you go back to the home screen it has to be reloaded.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Draw Something, Facebook, Any of those games and whatnot constantly streaming data, seem to decide to use all your ram for no reason. I like ICS for the reason that now you can close stuff when your done with it
So when ICS rolls out with Sense 3.6 they'll hopefully have this fixed. I bought this phone for Sense and I'm just amazed how fickle it seems this far.

That's half the answer the problem is the ram is supposed to dump the apps from the ram in order of least important but for some reason the sense launcher drops to a less important level when not in use (to give back more ram I guess). Like many people have said V6 will fix this problem and is super easy to use so I would give that a try is a great script.

Go to root of your phone>system>app and rename Google play services which is now called gmscore.apk to gmscore.apk.bak or simply delete it. Hot reboot your phone and you can now uninstall the Google settings app the way you would any app.

I wonder if you can freeze it. Well also, your XDA app might have disappeared because for some reason it downloads on the memory card.
But I get it. Nanny apps are creepy. Its already weird Facebook wants to know where I am all the time.

Some one moded the Facebook app with location off of it a while ago but I guess it was hard to keep up with it since their were a lot of updates at the time.

Give it time it will be lol. Also I've noticed on stock and custom ROMs all processes associated with this run in the background draining battery pretty quick. My friends phone with stock GB went from lasting 2 days to less than one

Hopefully someone can circumcise this thing...
Google crafted another app that eats battery like a fat kid on cake... F'in Google maps & Google now all over again.
What roms are we on?...
I'm on tmobile ics.

Just found it under my app drawer. And I uninstalled it normally. Didn't kill or delete any process.. And Gapps are working as always..

Mind telling us how? Or do you just not use gapps at all that's the only way i can see a solution. But my contacts are on my Google account so I'm stuck unless i spend the time to manually change them all to phone storage.
