Hey guys, I let go of my former Nexus S 4G for an EVO 3D today. I'm from the Nexus S section, but this forum will be my new spot. This is a good phone.

Welcome. While some will say our 3D is a gimmick, I say once the iPhone adds 3D it will be all the rage. I love watching movies and videos in 3D. Here's one that will make you go "oh sh*t!".

From what I seen of the video, that looked cool. Really looked like his hands were coming out the screen. It may be called a gimmick but it seems cool. This is a nice phone. I have to get it rooted. All my previous Android phones were rooted.
Edit: Crazy video.

Why the switch from the Nexus S? Doesn't have the same amount of horsepower as the 3D but it can also get the latest updates from Google (i.e. Jelly Bean)?
The 3D has more muscle, but the Nexus S is no slouch. I maybe can understand now why some say they will only get Nexus phones though. I made a Craigslist posting about trading sometime back, and yesterday someone offered a 3D so i took advantage. A wack thing about this phone is not the phone itself but how long Sprint is taking to drop the ICS update when Jellybean is around the corner. But I'm the type to root anyway. Either phone has its perks, it seems that even though the Nexus S is not latest and greatest, after having a non Nexus, it seems like the NS phones still have some type of relevence. I maybe wanted more power etc. The NS also doesn't have expandable storage. This phone shouldn't be overlooked, its a strong phone. If only I knew Android development? Lol

I loved my EVO 3D. Unfortunately, I have this habit of just buying the newest thing out... So I bought the EVO 4G LTE. My wife has my EVO 3D now. If they made the new EVO in 3D, I would've bought it still.
Speaking of... could we get a roll-up sticky for hellos as well as goodbyes?

I have always been HTC lover. Since the pp6700 I had every htc flagship smartphone. True they were not perfect, which was why I ditched my evo for epic.
Better in a lot of ways but has problems of it's own. Ended up hating the galaxy as well. Well I wanted to come back to htc before catching wind of the S2
But I see in this forum of many build quality problems well scattered thought the device. Seems rushed product? Seems more faults then epic and evo together when released.
Just wanted to know what others feel.

Its definitely worth it if you get a good one. People act like its such a huge request to look at the phone prior to leaving the sprint store... If there is something wrong with the one they bring you, just tell them you want a different one.
I'm happy with mine. Even with my monocular vision.

One of the cardinal rules of online research is to not judge a product by its forums. People who are satisfied with a product rarely post about it.

I am on my second device (EVO 3D). I killed the first because I did a drunken swim (lil drunk right now in case this post doesn't make much sense ) and forgot it was in my pocket. The first had 1 dead pixel, only noticible when using an app to look for them and even then, I was the only one of the 3 people I asked who could actually see it. Other than that, the build quality on both phones has been outstanding. IMHO those who complain, for the most part, are those who would complain about just about anything and are looking for things to ***** about. The 3D is superior to the OG EVO in every way (with the exception of root). Is it the difference I had from my old Touch Diamond to my OG EVO, no, absolutely not. It is an evolutionary improvement with the added feature of 3D. I think the build quality of the 3D is night-and-day better than the build quality of the OG EVO, but that's just my opinion. Is it worth getting? I wouldn't go back to my old EVO, the decision is really to each his/her own.
I'm happy with mine too... Just that it lags pretty bad when scrolling in the market and some apps.... But I guess could be fixed by a update.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
This is definitely an upgrade to my old EVO by a longshot. Is it perfect? No. Is it worth getting? Yes.
Sense 3.0 at its best, Camera is better, shutter button is a welcome addition, the screen is better, Stock speed is faster than EVO rooted, the graphics WOW, 1Gig RAM, a gig of UA storage & the 3D is fun as hell. It's one core alone is better & it has 2 of them. Most of the developers from the EVO 4G will develop for the EVO 3D.
I can cry about it not having permanent root but that's just a matter of patience.
You have 30 days to make that call for yourself, you might feel differently or even better about it.

Great phone, blows away my EVO4G. Honestly, if you ditched the EVO for the EPIC, this probably isn't the phone for you!
Thanks!
Mature people here. I got used to the samsung side of xda lol.
See a lot of nonbiased replies. And I agree with a lot that was said here.
I do have my eyes out for the S2, but I will definitely take advantage of the 30day grace period and take the 3d for a spin.
I'm intrigued at the thought of taking 3d porn lol honestly anyone try it?? Hehe

Definitely worth it for me. I had my Evo 4G for less than a year, sold it for $240, and got the full upgrade price of $199 so it cost me nothing extra except one extra year on contract to get a better new phone.
I love the Evo 3D. And anyone who b*tches about it all the time cuz their screen is a lil bit yellow instead of white, or they got shipped with kingston instead of scan or w/e can just take it back n get the samsung instead and let the rest of us actually enjoy this beast. It's one of the best phones out there and the only 3D phone that is worth buying and that 3D feature got me laid, so STOP b*tchin. Not aimed at the thread starter.
Yep
Bussin Caps n 3D
Felt like throwing a random new post out to say I'm very pleased and enjoying showing what I can do with this compared to everyone else's phone. I love my computer in my hand.

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.
Evo 3D owners, who will be jumping ship for the EVO One? My area I live in will be getting LTE in the KC roll out so definitely a plus. My main concern is that the phone can be S-OFF... I hope somebody can find a way. I waited to get the EVO 3D til it got S-OFF... but that LTE will be so tempting.

Oh my.... they bought me with the ICS x Sense 4.0 UI.... and the 16 gb internal memory.
I will. This will definitely be good since they aren't going "LOLOLOLO QUAD CORE 5000GHZ" and are actually improving features that need to be improved, like screen resolution, etc.
I won't, the EVO 3D is perfectly fine for my current needs despite the lack of ROM choice for the GSM version . I will hold out for a new device with removable battery, external memory card support etc.

Yes, both my wife and I will both be getting the new phone. I'm the type of person that has to have the next thing out, exactly when it comes out. I'm hoping we get both white and black models so I can get each for my wife and I. We've never owned that same model phone at the same time, and that would just be irritating if we did and couldn't tell the difference without turning it on.
I am kinda of disappointed that the car dock that I bought for my EVO 3D won't work anymore. I like being able to drop the phone right in the dock and use it for navigation and Pandora, but it's whatever. I'll just get used to putting it back in my lap or whatever.

What device? What made you want to change to this device? What is your favorite thing about THIS device versus older device? Figured this would help get to know each other a little bit. I will start...
LG Esteem on MetroPCS. Favorite thing about this device over older is that I am back to having a high end HTC device overall once again since the Original Inc. What made me want to change was the fact that I wanted another very high end device and am happy that I did.

Gearing up to sell it after I take it for one more race next weekend (it's a dusty trail run and I don't want to take my new LTE just to track with RunKeeper and risk it getting dirty and sweaty, since I don't need an activated phone for that the old girl gets to come along for this one).

Why did everyone choose TUIS exact device over waiting for the GSIII? What did you like about this device more OR what did u DISLIKE about Sammy that made you not want it?

Im coming from the og Evo. The lte is like a whole new world lol. My wife has the epic 4g touch and im just not a fan of Samsung devices. Updates with Samsung are always an adventure and the radio's in Samsung devices always seem to be lacking. Unless something drastic changes i will be sticking with htc for the foreseeable future.

The GS3 is not wildly different from this device now that the US variant has been announced. It's a bit larger (I'd say bordering on too large, but I could adjust if I had to), and the screen on Samsung devices does look different - not better or worse in my opinion. But it's no killer in performance, even if it had kept the quad-core (this Krait CPU is bomber). I don't see a lot that would sway me now that I have the LTE, and to be honest, after the OG Evo I've been extremely happy with the build quality of HTC. Plus, I didn't have to wait another who knows how long, and isn't the SGS3 going to launch for $299? Or was that just pre-release hearsay?
So, in short, brand loyalty, past experience, and impatience. (Okay, not really impatience, but it is nice to have the LTE now.)
Would the $300 price tag be for the 16GB model or the 32GB model though?

Decided to start this to start this to see if many people actually care about it considering that its not the best 3d out there. I know devs work super hard on getting all features on the great ROMs they bring us to feed our flashing addiction lol so by no means am I bashing or anything like that. Just curious to see how many ppl are crazy about it 3d.

Are you referring to our phone (as one of its nicknames is 3d) or the feature?
If your referring to the phone than I love it, while the 3d has gone through its rough times development has picked up and is amazing. At least for cdma (I don't really go into gsm). Because of our awsome devs I kept my 3d instead of buying out my contract and moving on.
If your referring to the feature than in my opinion its a gimmick. I used it for like a week to show it off but that was it. There are rare occasions that I show it off but it's not anything I really care for anymore. I've pretty much moved away from sense and the ability to use 3d.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yes I'm refering to the feature the actuall device is great and all the development that has recently emerged IS AMAZING! I sold my GSII to buy this Evo right before ICS update and I gotta say at first I was a bit disappointed (mainly cuz of all the freeze/reboot issues) but after rooting and non stop flashing I couldn't be happier. My thing is that Im sure devs spend a ton of their time working on it but do the benefits really outweigh the time spent?

We have so many jb aosp, cm10 roms, just can't seem to justify the upgrade now. I would also miss all the flaming wars and antics from this forum, at least I have something to replace hockey for the moment

3d was on the bottom of my list
i only bought this phone cause it was cheap and a decent CPU/GPU/RAM and had removable battery and microSD storage for my 32GB class 10 card i already owned.
3D though won me over a bit - it did some nice shots - its a massive gimmick but I think its a shame it hasnt been picked up much.
i sadly dont have a 3d tv or anything so my phone is the only way to show images off.
I actually really want a Nexus4 now too - so bit of a tough decision - if HTC released Jellybean for this Evo3D then I'd probably stick with it another six months or so
as it stands I am sorely tempted by the cheap price of the Nexus4 and the fact that google will support it!
Evo3d is my second htc phone although it has very good specs my next phone won't be htc anymore due to htc development policy. Actually all of the android phones have the same problem a bit but when my evo3d dies i will buy a nexus no matter what
I consider the 3D to be a massive gimmick but in all fairness its a good show-off
with the right 3D video your friends can get blown away. Showed it to a friend of mine and now he wants a 3vo too.
BUT.. being an AOSP lover like me you wont get 3D to show off. Its a damn shame when your friends say "why the eff did you buy a 3D phone when you arent gonna use it for the 3D"

I used it to take a few 3d drunk shots and videos and havent touched it since. It isn't a necessary feature for me and I don't think I'll use it ever again if it comes to JB.
Yeah same here I'm not sure if it's just my device but it really just looks like I'm seeing double so the 3d is useless to me. It would be cool if they could incorporate another cool feature into the 3d switch instead

i have been tryin alot of roms....paranoid android is really awesome u guys! i think the 3d is one of the most fun devices i've ever owed. when i get lte in my area i'm prolly gonna stick w HTC and get a 4g LTE!
some of the construction job photo's Ive taken with 3d from top of cranes and scissor lifts, have freaked people out.
I'd probably use 3d once a week if not more.
I base my decision on hardware specs, if HTC make it too hard to get s-off then I will go elsewhere for my phones.
But they shouldn't remove it either, need something to save the idiots from themselves
It is cool initially and to show other people. I get a lot of great wow responses but day to day, at least for me it is pretty much useless. I'd rather have a single camera lens and a thinner phone
