Sprint rejected HTC EVO 4G LTE variant with 3D - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Looks like Sprint didn't want a 3D phone for their One X variant and don't have any plans for one in the pipeline based on customer feed back

Good, because with all the issues just trying to get fully working ROMs and proprietary drivers not being made available, its just not worth the effort. Things will be faster if 3D drivers are not part of the equation.

I can't say that I am even a little sad. The 3D was a joke. I wish I had never changed from my Evo 4G. The hardware, while I guess was nicer, wasn't worth the upgrade. The 5MP camera wasn't as good as the 8MP. Not to mention the 3D driver issues. The only positive thing I have to save is that the physical camera button was nice.

Good

For me, the screen and the processor were the only things that made the E3D worth while.

What would make someone leave the EVO 3D for this?
It is a downgrade from the 3d, but not by much.
Wow I read some of the comments and one of them said something about not being able to get ASOP due to the dual cameras......... I wanna find that moron and show him what a ass kicking looks like in 3d... After he gets out of his mini coma that I induce

Just rumors that AOSP will not work because of the dual cameras. Someone said if Cyanogen goes, all other devs will go too. As Nate and the other guy said, they can disable one camera and leave out the 3D features in CM.
Cyanogen can blow balls all I care lol.. they make a good product but if I wanted AOSP i woulda brought a nexus phone

In the article, the table says "media classes: image" what does that mean ?

I really don't get all the fuss about AOSP. I used CM7 a lot on the Evo and it is nice, but between Launcher Pro and Sense 3.0 I'm more than satisfied. In any event, I think Cyanogen would want to take on the challenge of getting a ROM to work on the 3d, versus just moving on to another device.
Who gives a crap about the damn 3d, I used it for 2 days to get the oohs and ahhs and now I'm done. If cyanogen can bake in something as complex as 4G doesn't it seem like they can get a cam working?

That's the only thing that would make me switch....the camera. 3d I can do without, but the camera is kinda lacking on this thing. If it truly is the same phone - 3d + better camera...I'm in

The only thing I really preferred about AOSP was the battery life. But being that I get good battery on this one anyways I dont really care one way or the other.
Other than not having 3D, what makes this a worse phone? Is it the same processor?

"Though the HTC Evo 3ds dual core CPU clocks at a slightly faster speed at 1.2 GHz, the Thrill 4G makes up for its slower clock speed with its dual memory channels." Dual channels?
No 4G, slower, half the RAM. PERFECT!!!
More importantly, why the hell would you care? I can't concern myself with the Jones's or what they are buying.
Honestly? Have you used an LG phone? There is no comparison. It's not competition. Not to mention it might be cheaper to start with but consider the network its on and the price you pay to be on that network.......we win in the end.

It may be $100 cheaper, but remember AT&T has a $325 ETF not $200 like Sprint. Plus their rate plans are a little bit more expensive.
Specs wise, it might be lower resolution but if it's like the 2x it's an IPS panel verses SLCD which looks better if it doesn't have the light bleed problem that plagued the 2x. As for dual channel memory, it allows the memory to be interacted with faster, but can't be filled if that makes any sense. So there can't be as memory hungry apps running, but it does help benchmarks for speed.
the LG has a TI WiLink chipset which is better (has more features like ANT+) than our Broadcom's.

I love the 3D. I honestly never use the 3D function, it's more of a gimmick imo, but the phone is the best I've owned yet. And at this point, I'll never own anything but an HTC.

i love it too. a little bummed out by the hboot 1.5 crap but it's easy enough to work around. the phone screams and looks amazing. and the camera is quite nice. don't let the fact that is' 5MP fool you. still gives great shots. and the 3D is really just like a cherry on top. fun to play around with but easy to turn off.
I love my EVO 3D too...
I like my Evo 3d, but just to be completely honest, I miss my Nexus S 4G. I actually bought a ns4g yesterday from the marketplace here on xda. I also bought 2 off eBay. Not sure if I will still keep the 3d, but I will definitely be keeping one of the ns4g. 2 are broken, so they are projects.

My EVO 3D has been a great phone. No problems.
Thank you HTC..
I have to agree I like the Evo 3D , even in stock form it performs very well . HTC does make a good product (atleast my expierence with them) . Even with me moving to carriers shortly (possible new job will relocate me to a Verizon area , no sprint service) I will probably go with the HTC Rezound . Motorola just isnt doing it for me from what I see and the Droid Prime , well it has ICS but eh . New carrier but sticking with HTC .

The NS4G is a very nice phone, my brother-in-law is using mine until the Galaxy Nexus comes out. One thing I don't miss about that phone is the horrible WiFi and Data reception.

Can GS2 performance be achieved?

I saw this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY7nHi2Lcbg
And it confirmed what I already thought, especially with the benchmarks.
What I'm asking is if through custom roms, overclocking and different apps (maybe opera is better than stock browser) the evo 3d can get near or beat a stock S2 across a number of these tasks.
Referring to the ROMs I mean GSM, but any CDMA input is also appreciated and beneficial to the forum.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using xda premium
If you were to run AOSP on both phones, there is a very good chance you would not notice a difference in performance (real world wise). Overclock a Sense ROM and you'll probably get the same effect as well. But comparing OC'd to stock isn't that fair.
I will 1v1 anyone in any benchmarks and CPU speed... Lulz
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
How old is that video? I had to unroot my EVO to take the new update to the 2.17 base and I must say it flies. I noticed the difference right away. And I'm talking about stock unrooted. The new base on a custom Rom like Meanrom makes all other roms on the old base feel like crap.

Engadget said that HTC told them it was a prototype for the next evo but decided to not do 3D. thats fine anyways because i know its whats slowing down our ics update. i wont buy another 3D phone ever
Sorry, not interested. 3d seems to be the reason that we can never get the camera working on the various roms. I have used 3d exactly 6 times since last june, all to show how it works.
If you love it, then I am happy for you and hope that they come out with a 3d variant for you, but not at the expense of the regular one.
Mmm gimmicky closed source implementations that delay developers...nah no thanks. Keep it open and honest.

Yea looking at the video and where they show the EVO 4G LTE 3D (how horrid a name that'd be) prototype they show a bunch of other prototypes that weren't final next to it also. one even looked like the OG EVO.
Plus there is a reason 3D looks a bit better on the Optimus 3d (it does I promise) and that's because of the lower resolution. So I don't know how well a 720p stereoscopic display would come out.
I think ill just wait for the "EVO 4G 3D HD skyrocket SIII Maxx" to come out for my next device
I believe it would be smart for sprint to release 2 variations, a 3D one and the current one. The current 3D users could keep their 3D feature while having an even better phone or for the ppl tht don't want 3D, they could still get this badass phone! Sprint/HTC would be making more money and everyone who wants one of the variations would be happy tht there is the option....
Seems like a WIN WIN situation to me....

I'm not saying that it's for sure coming, but....
If it really was coming, they would absolutely not come out and say that right now. They want this new phone to be the biggest and must hyped thing on the market. There is now way they would compromise the launch with news if an upgraded model on the horizon. Of course they aren't admitting to one being made right now.
Want to make the next evo fail? Add 3D.
