Hi guys! I have a couple questions for anyone who can answer them.
First, is it known whether 3D is only shown when the phone is in landscape, or does it also display in portrait?
Secondly, if it is always displaying in 3D, can we expect there to be an API to convert apps and/or view current 2D apps in 3D?
EDIT:I have found several blog articles stating that it does display in both landscape AND portrait.
Code:
http://blog.gsmarena.com/htc-evo-3d-vs-lg-optimus-3d-taking-the-fight-to-another-dimension/
Which brings up even more questions!
Is the screen using parallax barrier technology to display everything in 3D or is this some new fangled screen.
If this is the case (i.e. parallax barrier) are we only going to see half of the 960x540 resolution (480x270) when in 2D mode? I'm asking you parallax barrier experts!
Also, still no answer to my second question, but I assume we won't know at all until the phone is actually released.
3d landscape only
Probably
The htc evo 3D can do both portrait and landscape in 3D. This feature has been used a a key selling point over the optimus 3D (which can only do 3D in portrait mode)

a couple videos of the 3d, I've seen more but all do the same thing, to view the 3d turn it on the side, not one mention of portrait 3d or pic showing the pentile matrix "optical alignment 2d tear" if you will, which leads me to believe it is landscape only, if you can post information "outside of the optimus comparison which is full of inaccurate information" to prove 3d in portrait mode you will have my thanks because I would LOVE it more, but I can't find that information

I don't know who to believe! This is a major question and a huge selling point. For example, if you don't own any other 3D technology what else does this phone do for you than alow you to look at your pictures strictly on your device. If this is a hardware limitation, I can understand, but if they just didn't put in the effort to make the UI 3D then I will be throughly dissapointed.

right now I have an optimus 3D in my possession and when you take 3D pictures it takes them in .jps format, which is essentially just two jpegs which then gets rendered by the software for the 3D. So you still get to transfer the .jps files to you computer (for backup purposes) and then on the phone convert it to 2d which will create a jpg of both frames. =)

That's cool, I figured that would be the case. In fact, I remember on the androidandme interview, the rep told them that when you shot stills in 3D it also saves a 2D copy.
This doesn't help my question though! I'm wondering if the phone can display 3D while in PORTRAIT.
First person to give me a proven answer gets... something.
EDIT: I beat you to it. Updated OP.
reread post 4, that optimus comparison is full of inaccurate information and cannot be used as a source and is the only site stating 3d in portrait
yeah sorry, can't help w/ the issue of portrait vs landscape haha... the optimus and evo 3d screens are diff. Buuttttt just an fyi the optimus is only landscape.
Will the 3d screen only be used for movies and pictures or can it also be used in the launcher? A real 3d HTC sense launcher I mean. Or will the launcher just look like normal phones?
currently launcher is set to be 2D. only 3D right now are movies, Pictures, and upcoming games, and apps I believe. outside of that in 2D you have one kick arse phone.
That's a pity then.
I was hoping once developers start making ROM's they can develop 3D launchers or 3D keyboards, but now thanks to HTC that will never be possible.

what? your dead wrong on that front. Since when does the bootloader have anything to do with installing apps such as launchers and keyboards? Moreover HTC is responsible for releasing the sdk that makes such apps possible

If they can't rip the api's and all the proprietary 3d stuff it would be a helluva lot more difficult to do. Specially if the app needs something locked down by the bootloader.
At least that's what I believe / understand

3D screen hardware
Anyone know if the EVO 3D screen hardware is different from a regular, (non-3D) qHD S-LCD?

Lol yes it has a parralex barrier. Basically the screen is a bunch of vertical lines where one half is seen by each eye creating the illusion of depth.
How could the screen not be different and be 3d.

I will be interested to see what happens with the 3D. Right now I am sure it is more gimmicky and will lose it's luster but I do think it can bring some creative things down the road. Like a 3D launcher or 3D gmail experience or who knows what else. I don't think 3D is going to go away anytime real soon and would think HTC will try and get a good amount of dev support for it.

I think if other companies start to release 3d phone's it might stick around for a little bit but if we do not see other 3d phones come out in the near future, I am thinking it will just die a quick death.
Although, if the iPhone 5 goes 3d then you can be assured it will be sticking around regardless of what other Android devices do. lol

LG has also a 3d phone released soon.
Think about it. If the phone was completely 3D, the battery would blow more than you think. I think having select apps that have dedicated 3D capability it better.

That is true, but if you can only use 3d for movies and pictures it's worthless on a phone. That is why there are 3d tv's.

Okay I see what your saying. But gaming, picture, videos, movie and future dedicated apps will most likely suit the buyers.

The new google maps version would be pretty sweet in 3D. Imagine if the tilting of the plane had an actual 3D effect. Or the pop-up buildings being in 3D.

The apps is the most intriguing but I will say that if you had told me that live wallpapers wouldn't wear a battery out a year ago, I wouldn't have believed you. So i think there is a possibility that you could make a 3D launcher with minimal effect on the battery.

I don't see why 3D output would be that much more costly battery wise than 2D output. The content is still static. LCD pixels are either on or off. The parallax barrier pixels will be on, which is where all of the excess drain would come from. But it's hard to theorize how much extra drain that would cause. But it's not like you're playing a video or something the whole time.
And someone earlier asked if the 3D qHD screen would be the same as a 2D qHD screen. My understanding is that the qHD LCD layer of the screen would be identical; it just has the parallax barrier layer as well. But when that's off, it should be just a typical qHD LCD screen for all intents and purposes.

Thanks for your response. I had the same question about the E3D screen being the same as the sensation because I was concerned that the addition of the p. barrier on the 3D would compromise the optimal quality or clarity of the QHD screen. This is paramount to me since I could care less about 3D but am really excited about the QHD and the prospect of near Iphone4-like sharpness and clarity. I tend to used my phone for videos, ebooks, and web surfing and have been wishing for higher/better resolutin for years.
I know the 3d sdk is not out yet but I was curious if anyone farmilar with chainfire knows if it'd be possible to make a plugin for the EVO 3d to force everything to use the 3d display.

And then? Play a game thats not made for a 3d screen? That will look like crap.
If you have no input why post?
@OP I'd imagine it is possible actually, similar to graphics cards forcing anti aliasing and 3d in pc games.
That's something I'm definitely interested in seeing, but I wouldn't know how much work it would take to get it working

If a 3d application does not support 3d on its own, you will get crapess on its best.

Thanks. Im glad for you that you write perfect english without error.
I'd like to say, in theory, with a game that is rendered in three dimensions, you could program it to just use two different camera angles... but um, it'd have to be programmed into each one i'd guess... so yeah, no, prolly never gonna work.

Correct. Now the trolls can go away
In theory the display driver could be coded to display any opengl app in 3d, without changing apps. The driver has the complete 3d model, and two perspectives could be rendered. This would produce an accurate 3d projection for any ogl/el game.
The only thing that would appear odd is if the dev wasn't careful with the z plane on some objects ( 2d overlays, etc). It would appear fine in 2d, but 3d they may be way close or far out.
The 3d games aren't even POP OUT 3D so I don't know what the other guys are talking about. If you even play the included 3d game you can easily tell it just adds depth....I see why there would be a difference in other games, there will just be aded depth.
I thought NVIDIA's 3d stuff was a similar hack which is why they had varying degrees of compatibility among various games

I doubt spiderman was completely rewritten in 3d format. I would imagine it was just converted. I know instant 2d to 3d on a capable television doesnt look bad at all. Even some 2d to 3d clips are pretty good if done right, so I dont see what all the negative fuss is about. I was disappointed before launch, when I realized this phone didnt do 2d to 3d.
Oh yeah, games like call of duty that switches to 3d, doesnt have a completely seperate game on the disc, and it looks good.
3D isn't 3D as it was 5 years ago.
even in the movie theaters 3D isn't like OMG **** IS COMING AT ME kind of deal.
it adds "depth" and somewhat "clarity"
i remember Terminator 3D , now that was 3D .
the EVO 3D has limitations , makes stuff minor 3D. requires a lot of resources for full 3D . nothing a phone can handle atm, not even computers can handle it. full popping out , i think that hand is gonna grab my face 3D .
would you sacrifice half your battery life permanently with no fixes for full 3D on all the time? how would your eyes feel? looking at it everyday all day? i'll super glue 3D glasses onto your head . everything will be 3D .
the 3D effect is simply an angle, and depth as people say. that is all. makes you see more than just a flat angle. you can see the sides of the flatness, making it 3D

Wow. That video was sweet. Damn thing kept getting closer and closer.
Great 3d video wow
YEAH I GOT A EVO 3D
I am basically writing this article to help all those who have spent time and time to buy the best 3d phone and are probably reading STEREOTYPE reviews repeating same things again and again and leaving you in a more complex state that you were before reading them.
I own an HTC Evo 3d and I also own a Optimus 3d and i also own an Acer 4738DG 3d laptop. I spent hours trying to find which of the two phones is best but i ended up buying both. Now this review to help those wanting to buy and trying to choose.
I will NOT go into details available at every other review website. I will only point out features that really matter and are not available anywhere for review.
PHONE SIZE AND FEEL
O3D is definitely not easy to hold. Its light but difficult to operate. The standby button and unlock button is at the top which makes it difficult to use, since this is the button you are likely to use a lot. The phone is lighter than EVO 3d which is an advantage.
Evo 3D is very bulky. and HEAVY. However due to shorter width than O3D it is easier to hold and grip and the unlock plus startup button is more accessible than O3D. My personal choise is Evo 3D for this round. Simply because it is easier to grip, although it is heavy.
3D Capabilities
Evo 3d is NOT a 3d phone. Surprised? Well thats the truth unfortunately. Evo 3d is a 3D camera which lets you take pictures and view them in 3d. NOT a 3d phone. I dont see any intention of HTC to make it a 3d phone as such. The only thing they have developed is a 3d camera ad a viewing screen. There is no 3d conversion as in you would have to manually covert2d pics and videos on your PC before you can view them on EVo which is useless.
O3d is a 3D phone. its a 3d camera, plus 3d interface icluding 3d channel youtube, plus 3d gallery, plus 3d menus, plus 3d application plus 3d games. Hell, it can even convert ON THE GO 2D movies and snapshots in 3D without any external software.
Go for O3d if you want a full 3d phone.
3D Camera Quality
Evo 3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 2MP. Video is at 720p. The camera is pretty basic with regular Htc options and only one option of 3d width adjustment. The camera in 3d mode has flash. Horizontal viewing is best. Vertical although supported is hardly noticeable in 3D. 3d Depth is not as cool as O3d but the pictures come up nice and bright.
O3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 3MP. and video at 720p. There is no flash for 3D stills or movie which is a HUUUGEEE drawback. The 3d camera is very smart and allows many 3d options like side by side, vertical cuts and other depth adjustments. The depth of 3d pics is better than Evo3d. but the picture quality itself is not that great.
If you operate in a bright environment go for O3d. If not go for HTC cuz flash is a huge advantage. The low resolution of HTC is compensated by the fact that it has flash.
Pre Bundled 3D software
HTC Evo3D = None
O3D = 4 games in 3d, Separate 3d gallery, 3d stuff accessible from LG 3d store which has movie clips and other apps plus games.
UPDATES
O3D is promised by LG to be updated to Gingerbread in October alongwith more 3d applications and 3d interface. LG has a 3d STORE from where you can download 3d videos and clips, free plus paid. Means you dont have to dowload, crop, resize and then somehow make them work on HTC evo3d.
HTC Evo3D from what i have learnt is not getting 3d updates from HTC. It is left to the developers for that.
ROOTING
Both can be rooted.
Volume Rocker
Volume rocker key in both devices is a pain to use. Its so much embedded kind of inside the phone.
Battery
O3D battery lasts for atleast 4 hours more than Evo 3d.
The other stuff is pretty basic. So if anyone is looking for a 3d phone this review may help him.
I have been an HTC fan throughout. But honestly LG has come a long way. I have the LG app files so if anyone interested in porting them to HTC evo 3d that would really be great.
If this helps, just say thanks.

So... Did the LG win the "Updates" part based on promises on adding an update that's been out for months? Frankly it should have shipped with GB. Kindof ridiculous that it didn't...
Also, converting videos and pics on the go doesn't seem all that convenient if the camera can just take 3D videos and pics. Why take a 2D anything and convert? The conversion won't be even half as good as the real deal.
EVO 3D does videos and YouTube in 3D.

The Evo 3D comes with the green hornet 3D at least with sprint, and spider man 3D demo.. how does that not count as 3D content? also as the user above said, we can watch 3D youtube videos as well...
Not sure I can take someone serious with a review that spells "because" with "cuz". Not being rude, just saying :/

My Evo 3D came with The Green Hornet 3D and Spiderman 3D. It also came with that 3D Games, but I wouldn't really call that one software though.
First of all thanks for the replies.
This guide is not basically to support one phone over the other. Point being whats good in 3D.
Lemme answer few of the posts so far,
Auto 2d to 3D conversion. Well this feature is kinda handy. With a 3D phone in your hand, you have the new camera to take 3d pics but what about your old collection. Do you want to boast off the 3d and enjoy the same pic with 3d content? Well then LG is your choice cuz (because) the phone can do that.
The result is not that bad actually. I remember when i first laid hands on my Acer 5738dg 3d laptop i converted a lot of 2d content. Never liked it. But this new screen concept of without the glasses does a pretty decent job.
I can say this cuz i HAVE TESTED it on O3D. I would suggest someone else to test and say if its that bad or ok.
The games that come with HTC EVO 3d are standalone games available in sprint version. I am talking about sim free versions of both phones. PLUS O3D has a 3d interface from which you can actually use and launch the game.
Lastly, LG promised an update in august and they delivered. I think the gingerbread update is coming in October, but what I am more interested in is the promised development that LG stated that this update will enable 2D games to be viewed in 3D as well. That is what i meant with when i said its a true 3d phone.
I will probably keep both phones till either HTC gets a port of LG 3d interface or LG gets an update for camera 3d flash. After that I will sell one of these.
Meanwhile, if anyone wants a hands on comparison of any feature please post here and i shall help to the best of my knowledge.
BTW someone mentioned youtube? Well when i meant youtube built in O3D i mean a real 3D youtube app. Maybe i need to post a video to let you guys have a look. Youtube in 3d is accessible by adding ",yt3d" to any search. But thats not what i meant.
Any questions are welcome.

Kind of right, but what about for example
Cyberlink powerd dvd 3d conversion, dvd FAB, stereoscopic viewer and tridef.
These are all 3d converters and players and pretty decent ones and trust me they are making a lot of money for these features cuz large public wants it.
Anyways, the 3d conversion on O3D is not bad actually, its good. Not excellent and not at all like actual. but good.

I'm curious as to what the sales have been like compared to other devices. I see a lot of vague negativity and dislike for the EVO3D, and a lot of people passing 3D off as a gimmick. After having this thing for some time now, I feel that if my next phone doesn't have 3D I'd be missing something, it could be a four-core 2GHz monster with LTE and a 720p screen, but I'd still have somewhat of a 'phantom-limb' for the missing 3D. I love the 3D aspect, I take my photos and videos entirely in 3D, I buy 3D games (as they slowly trickle out) I'd buy a lot more games if they had 3D versions (Notch, you can do it, add it to Minecraft!)
Am I really alone in a sea of 3D haters?
I love the 3D features and wish the next Evo would incorporate it.But I highly doubt they will.They haven't even supported the device we have now with special 3d stuff...

I like the 3D feature but I hardly use them. So yeah, I don't think there will be a follow up
I would like to see in next year's EVO, on which I will use my last Sprint Premiere upgrade, Google TV integration. Unplugged from the TV its an EVO which of course is awesome but hook it up to your TV and bam, its a Google TV!
Anyways, what features would everyone else like to see in next year's EVO?

A bigger screen (4.8?), No 3D (I used it the first week), 8 MP camera (I don't want to argue about MP, it's just my opinion) and cm team members that know how to communicate with their followers.
That would make me happy.

I doubt there will be another 3D device from HTC as a successor to this one. Not enough marketing behind it to persuade me into thinking they want to continue down the 3D path. Hell they might skip over and go straight to 5D. Never know.

I love big phones,and I always get a new phone every 8 months,but my next phone has to have 3d, and be bigger,the galaxy note is a great size,but no 3d is a no brainer,when you look at a 2d normal picture shot,its just not the same,when you take a 3d picture it jumps out the screen, that's with movies as well, that's why there will be a newer model a year from now(maybe sooner,August) it annoys me when people slag of 3d they don't have it,see it for ten seconds then say its.crap,it hurts my eyes, and them they get used to it,and its great.

We didn't get jack to show off our new cool 3D phone.. there are no apps for it, nothing. I see a couple youtube vids that nmostly look like crap.
I really like the 3D part of the phone, but I could care less if I ever get another phone with it or not. There is absolutely nothing happening with it aside from a picture or 2 sometimes.
I think there will def be another evo3d. People really think that since they dont like 3d things that technology wont pass them up. I think that crazy to believe. I got my first touch screen in 2003ish. (6700) and everyone said that touchscreen was pointless. Wrong again.

I definitely think there will be more 3D phones. Companies are definitely trying to push 3D more and more these days.
I am happy to see the new Sony commercials pushing their new 3D products (tv, camera, video cam). That tells me 3D is gonna be around for quite awhile and more companies are going to embrace it.
I guess one of the sign-posts will be if: the next Sony or Nintendo portables have 3D screens (Vita's and 3DS' successors) and/or if an iPhone ever has a 3D screen. I doubt Apple would ever jump onto that bandwagon unless just about every other device out there has it.
I think there might just be two stumbling blocks to wholesale 3D adoption in devices:
The brightness of the screen. Some of them are just too dim when the parallax barrier is on.
The fact that the resolution is effectively halved in 3D-mode. The 3DS doesn't do this, 2nd-gernation 3D Android devices shouldn't either. There are screens out there that are QHD and even 720p with and without 3D enabled.
