This phone blows the s4 out of the water. Love it. Don't think twice about getting this phone
Agreed, best phone I've had in a while.

i've got one coming in the mail, but im worried about a couple things people dont like. I'm wondering how you guys are dealing with them. i hear the speakerphone isnt too good, are you guys using volume boost or some kind of app to make it louder. im also hearing people are having issues with knock on, having to do it 3 or 4 times before the screen comes on.
i think my biggest concern, and its not an actual problem with the phone. is LGs drop in value so fast, ill probably play it with for a week and stick with my s4 till the phones done dropping in price in about a month.

Coming from the Droid Incredible, then the Galaxy Nexus, then this - well, the tech has come a long way. I should probably post this in a separate thread, but do the buttons being on the back bother anyone? Because they don't bother me at all. I was a little surprised actually.
its good to hear that from more and more people. i imagine when you click on the back button it pushes the phone forward because of the force it takes the push the button but sounds like no ones having an issue with it.
I also love this phone

Speakerphone & call quality works fine for me, but each person seems to have diff exp when it comes to them. Honestly, this phone could produce NO SOUND and i'd prolly STILL use it, lol
as for Knock On, it takes a few awhile to a) realize you have to tap on a "clear spot" on any homescreen, not over an icon or you will launch it, little bit of learning curve, ppl soooo exaggerate... b) it seems to respond MUCH better to 'tap" from fingertips, not a "knuckle"...And most imp, if you find always, "looking for a cleared area to tap" to turn your device off, just double tap anywhere up by notifications, and it works EVERYTIME!
Do not be worried, within 10 minutes of opening the box, i can almost guarantee you will be totally sold on this phone...
Those "negative Nellies" are prolly the type that HAVE to find something to complain about...Every forum has 'em!
Ms D
I don't really use speaker phone so I can't comment, Bluetooth has worked well for me though. As far as knock on, if I have had my screen off for a long time, I find one initial touch and then doing knock on works 100 percent of the time.
And I actually like lg's keyboard! No one has mentioned it.

Yeah the speaker is a little weak in my opinion. Other than the HTCone i would say that all phone speakers are mediocre.. some are just a little better and some a little worse... I would say the lg g2's speaker is in the middle.. and if anything a little worse.. still it works and does the job for me. As far as Knock on/off .. It's a fantastic feature.. if the screens been off for 20-30 minutes it works the first try.. if it's been hours since you've touched your phone it seems like it takes 2 sets of knocks.. not a big deal though.. awesome feature! I've been transferring info/data/progs from my gs2 the last couple days and have noticed myself knocking on the GS2.. pretty funny but it's seems natural even after the first day!
Love the LG keyboard, I was using a leaked version on a rooted Optimus G and its the best kb I've used and it comes with 4 skins I believe. Knock on and off is imo the best feature out of all that any company has come up with in the last batch of flagships. I'm talking dynamic notifications, and always listening crap. Also nice to see they use the only feature I actually used on my old S4, smart screen to detect your still looking at screen and display stays on. I love the drag up feature to access quick access items, they added tons of options to the launcher more in line with an aftermarket one to a degree with icon changing, screen transitions and such.
Speaker isn't the worst, but it isn't the best either. Scale of 1-10 I would give it a 6 in accordance with my experience with other phones. It's very usable but won't win any awards for speaker sound, like the HTC One.
As far as knock on; when the screen is on, "tap off" works flawlessly when tapping the bar on the top or any open unused area on the screen. When "tapping on" the phone I tap three times and it works every time. Sometimes double tap doesn't work the first time when the screen is off.

What is your biggest complaint on the HTC Evo 3D so far?
Mine definitely has to be the power button... You could sneeze and the thing would turn on. I had a leather holster that held the original EVO. While the 3d fits it fine, the mere contact of the end of the case on the power button turns it on (and keeps it on).
I think this could potentially be fixed with a software update - possibly requiring the power button to be pressed for a second or two (and not instantaneously) before taking effect.
the 3D makes me slightly nauseous.
and i don't think the camera button needs to stick out so far..
3g, 4g, and wifi signal do not seem to have as fast of speeds as my evo downloading the same page, in the same place. (may be because the evo was rooted)
call quality is not as good as the evo.
but, the speeed, and the screen clarity.. i like.
My updating icon on the top of the phone is constantly on .

I just got back from my local Radioshack. Their store phone wasn't activated yet and their rather tech un-savvy crew was scared to death to even turn it on...sigh
...but I did get to see the mockup. I have to say, I --hate-- the shape. I loved the Evo4G shape. Perfect to me. But, now I've gotta say...I'm more than just a little turned off at how narrow it is. It's going to make web pages suck in portrait and really suck in landscape...sure, the gigantic jump in resolution will surely make that a lot easier to deal with than first glance of a mockup would suggest...but I just hate the way the shape looks.
That said I think the materials, construction and overall appearance (shape aside) are fantastic. Sure, it was just a mockup, but it was the fancy mockup....I just wish the screen was less narrow...I hate that so much.
...I'd will not jump ship to ATT, but, the Holiday looks more my size. I'm a tall guy with big hands, that narrow candybar **** is irritating.
I'll still get it and try it out...but...this might be a deal breaker for me.

+1 Agree
So many times in my truck on lunch break at work I would be texting or IMing or surfing or tapping replies on XDA and streaming through the stereo....and I had to choose between milking my battery dry or dealing with supreme annoyance.
...I just hope it isn't in the same retarded place as on the thunderbolt....or the kickstand case opens up the opposite way...
Not a fan of the the battery cover. Feels like I'm going to break it when I take it off. Also the side charger port and the fact that you have to unplug the charger to take off the battery cover

Could it be the difference in size? The 3D is slightly taller than the Evo, so it could be already bumped up against your case.

My beef with that location is talking on the phone while in the car. The cord goes up, and gets pulled down. I'm almost certainly going to break the charge port.
I would have to say my biggest complaint is the charging port being on the side. With the way I hold my phone it gets in the way. When in the car I use the phone to navigate (I would never text and drive) and the charging port is on the opposite side then the charger so it is pulling down on it and its not comfortable.
Camera takes decent pictures. Have had phone activated for about 3 hours and its not a noticeable battery killer. I have been streaming music on 3G, took a photo one in 2d and one in 3d, moderate texting ( maybe 80 messages) and it is at 69%

Are you 100% satisfy with your E3D? Why/why not?
Had mine for two weeks now...
Can't say I'm that happy. Random reboots, reception issues, and things like my battery discharging even though its plugged into my USB annoy me.
Stickin with it though, I have faith in this thing.
I am very satisfied with it in an "off-the-shelf" capacity. There is virtually no lag, and does everything I would expect from a non-rooted phone very well.
I don't have any of the issues though. No reboots, screen issues etc.
Once it is perm rooted it will be perfect.

Am I the only one with a perfect E3D? I've been reading threads from other site as well. A lot of people had problems. On the released date, I called sprint rep to upgrade. Ever since the day I received it, never had any problem, but for some reason still not satisfy. Maybe because there's no permanent root s-off?

I was happy with the EVO but not Sprint. Sadly i blows in my area (or PR entirely) dropped calls, goes straight to roaming in the first floor of my house, average data speeds or 200kbps and a all time low of 7kbps etc. It wasnt worth the switch from TMO. Good thing they let me reactivate before 30 days of cancellation and its like it never happened im back at 5mbps land and my phone works at home now horray!!!

For me i am Happy but would be happier if the stuff was better implemented, seriously HTC no Hardware Acceleration for 2D or Browser, They could have just taken the stuff from CM and put in, Also Animations aren't that smooth, when i plug in via USB the screen responsiveness goes down. 3D is something i am loving. Woulf be happier if they had put in a 8mpx camera in there to go with a 5mpx or just 2 8mpx
This phone gives me a boner every time I turn the screen on.
Everything is pretty much perfect except for the green tint thing and I'm hoping they'll fix that with a future software upgrade. If not, it's still not a deal breaker for me.

I've experienced the same rarely with the Atrix on stock rom. I don't think it's tegra related but poorly implemented kernel cause i dont experience such issue on faux123's custom kernel.
I love it, 99% perfect.
Thinner than I thought and a bit wider than the bionic, but feels strong, solid, and light. It is ridiculously thin- almost hard to believe
Screen is FAR better than the bionic, but you can see a bit of jagged edges if you really focus in. it is not an iphone 4 retina, but real world it will prove to be more than adequate.
Motocast is available for mac, downloading off the website now.
Has the motorola bluetooth skip issue when paired with alpine bluetooth in my car (i had the same issue with bionic). Hopefully a new rom/ BT stack (CM?) will fix down the road. Not a biggie.
Call quality: excellent.Best I have ever experienced
Speaker- loud and clear
Email gestures is a cool feature that wasnt in bionic rom. Funny thing is that it only works under the email accounts, not universal inbox view...
Gmail is available in universal inbox with its own gmail logo, yet not all features from gmail app are included in the motorola email app (make sese?).
I do see it getting a bit warm, but so did the bionic (and several other android phones). Its a catch 22: with LTE radio, and such a thin profile with zero heatsink or dissapation, heat is inevitable. You are basically one kevlar membrane away from the heat source. Warm, not hot- but after prolonged heavy use I can see it getting hot.
Smartactions is really cool and intuitive, however I wish locations were based on GPS rather than wifi (on other devices, leaving gps radio on in standby used less juice than leaving wifi in standby, constantly searching.)
I am grasping at straws to find ANY issues with the device. Slight wiggle to power button, I dont like the VZW logo (was able to get it off with a penny on the bionic, this is under the glass). screen might be a little blue/green tint at lowest brightness compared to bionic.
All in all, it is the best device available today. I can see the allure with the Galaxy Nexus, but lack of SD card is a big issue with me, as is the general plasticky feel of samsung phones. The build of this thing is awesome, as there are no real moving parts (aside from power button and volume rockers). I hate creaky phones, this solves it. Hopefully someone will show how to easily remove the battery (i dont have the guts)
I'm very curious about battery life once you guys have some time to work with that part of the device. My one remaining fear is that once fully charged, it's drained out in a short amount of time. There's not a lot of battery under that non-removable back cover, and I'd rather not find myself constantly plugging a charging cable into the thing to keep it alive more so than simply using it.
I'm just about sold on this device, but, I'd like some real world input from the present user base on this subject before I drop the cash.
Thanks!
Greetings to all the XDA community. I felt like i had a bunch of different problems with my new HTC One, that encompassed a few different threads, so i was wondering if Im the only one with such problems. If any of you had experienced one or all of these problems please let me know what you did to fix them. I appreciate your input, first time HTC owner here
1. Battery life very very subpar. Charged it for 4hours out of the box before using the first time, battery fell from 100 to 20 in 5 hrs of regular use.
2. Battery charge time is terrible. Takes 3 hours to go from 30% to 95%.
3 Wifi scan range is horrible. My Note 2 picked up 2 bars of wifi in my room, while the One cant even connect. Sitting 10ft from the Router, bars keep fluctuating from 4(max) to 1, sticking to 2 bars mostly. I dont want to burn through my cellular data allowance atleast at home.
4 Camera resolution in very average, I know its only 4 "ultrapixel", but it could be muh sharper even with that.
5 and ofcourse, the legendary capacitive buttons, especially the Back button. Unresponsive half the time, responsive after 3 soft touched (and one frustrated one). I dont mind them lighting off at times, but the unresponsiveness is unacceptable.
The build is gorgeous, no problems anywhere. The speakers are just awesome. The phone feels amazing in hand. But if i cant get wifi in my own house, and the buttons keep being so stubborn, i cant spend 2 days with that, let alone 2 years. Am i being too picky here?I hope so, cuz i REALLY love this phone for its PROs.
Please let me know what you guys think!! Thanks!!
My only problem is that battery seems to not last long and the gap on top. I wonder if I can exchange it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
i didn't notice battery life issues (esp coming over from my nexus s) but I probably have less background stuff running than most-- I actively shut down facebook syncs, google talk, etc.
no issues with wifi antenna whatsoever.
the capacitive responsiveness issue is documented and supposedly fixed in one of the upcoming OTAs.
Sounds like you may have a defective device. I'd exchange it.

They advertised the phone as GAPLESS so if theres a gap and you think is bothering you then you free to return it ( if you still on you 15 days )
Half of the top of mine is gapped from between the head jack and the power button all on the left side id guess roughly 1/64th of an inch..maybe less it's hardly a concern that's how miniscule or a problem it is to me.
As long as it doesn't display screen issues and get dirt beneath I'm fine with it.
It's not falling apart and I use an otterbox anyhow.
It would be far more realistic to let the phone grow old.... maybe drop it ...crack something let wear take place....so it looks legit... have a good reason to get an exchange/assurion claim.

Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I don't know about T-Mobile, but I know many international customers have gotten warranty exchanges because of gaps. If the gap is big enough that it bothers you, ask for an exchange. It is definitely ridiculous on some units I've seen.
About charge times, it charges normally up to about 90% then slows down much more than most phones. I think it's very well-implemented given the totally non-repairable nature of the phone. I just finished charging an hour ago, and it charged from about 30% to 90% in under 2 hours, then spent another hour going from 90% to 100%. It's much better to charge slowly at the high end and preserve the health of the battery. Also most people probably know this, but charging over USB from a computer is much, much slower than using a wall charger (and wall chargers vary in power output as well).
Can I just go in a T-Mobile store and ask for an exchange for the small gap? & they'll replace it?

I am having the exact same problem as you (#5 above) with the capacitive buttons. The Back button doesn't respond half the time. It is really frustrating. The Home button too respond especially when double tapping to bring up the recent apps list it doesn't respond like half the time. I thought maybe it was a software issue. I guess it's a defective device then?
I have read that the buttons can be fixed through a software update by htc, though I have no idea when tmobile might push it out. For people in Europe with the same problem, they claim the OTA fixed it.
If that's the only problem you have, it may be with waiting for the ota or a custom rom with fixes.

Can I just go in a T-Mobile store and ask for an exchange for the small gap? & they'll replace it?

Would you actually return the phone cause of a gap?

As long as u are covered under buyers remorse, they will take a return and give u a brand new phone for whatever reason, or so they have told me over and over..call the place u got it from and find out how long you have got till that remorse period ends

They will replace it if they even have anymore in the store. Most stores are completely out of it

I got mine online, so im not sure of in store availability.
Thanks to each and everyone for your valuable advice and experiences. After countless hours of online research and tech support, I have come to the conclusion that a lot of people are having a at least one issue out of the box with their phone. HTC seems to have rushed this phone into the market in an effort to beat the S4 in timing, but in doing so they have caused quite a few quality control issues with undoubtedly the best smartphone at this time.
I bought a S4 to compare side by side before I made my decision, and after days of deliberation it seems that the One is superior to the S4 only in the flawless design and excellent speakers. This is purely my opinion, but after putting them side by side in my room, and seeing full wifi bars on my s4 and the one struggling to get just one, I must with heavy heart return my One. I came from a note 2, looking for a 1080p display and connectivity for my media consumption, and HTC could only provide one (pun unintended).
With all of you struggling with issues with your phones, good luck. I guess I'm staying samsung for now.
My older HTC One X also has poor wifi in my house. My iPad picks up signal great in my house but the minute I start walking away from my wifi router the HTC One X drops connection. Seems like wifi reception is not their strong point in all their smartphones.
Hey everyone,
How is the vibration strength for notifications on the new Moto 360?
I've got an Huawei Watch and I love it, but the vibration strength is pretty weak IMO. A lot of times, I hear the vibration rather than feel it.
If it's stronger on the new Moto360, I may switch.
Thanks!

Hello there,
I got mine yesterday, I am loving so far. The vibration was one of my worries, and I am glad to say it is ok, not great but ok. I have not tried the Huawei but I have heard the exact same comments over and over that you could actually hear it but not feel the vibration. I can assure you that this is not the case with the new Moto 360. I have tried deferent notifications, and I clearly felt them with a subtle noise, I have tried it in my pocket as well and felt them too!
it would have been nice if you can control the intensity, but may be for the next update.
Thanks.

Thanks for the answer - I had been wondering about this too. Can you also comment on the mic sensitivity - how close do you have to hold it to your mouth for it to pick you up? Does it consistently pick you up correctly? I'm trying to decide between the Moto 360 42mm and the Huawei and have heard that the Huawei mic is a bit hit and miss. For example, Lisa from MobileTechReview had difficulty getting it to pick her up in her review - see it here: https://youtu.be/H_ISBzY96M0?t=5m43s
EDIT: Also curious how long charging from empty or almost empty to 100% takes on the wireless charger.

From my initial test yesterday, it is indeed a hit or miss. I had to repeat couple of times to get it right. It was always confusing breath with Breeze or What's up with Whatsapp where I was trying to send a whatsapp message with voice command. But honestly that was within my expectation, especially with 'tricky' words or commands.
I will do another test tonight and see, I will also check wither I have to hold it closely to my mouth, it was natural to get it closer every time I used it!

Will test that too. The watch had around 70% when I opened it. it took a while to fully charge but it was going through the initial setup.

It took almost 2 hours to charge from dead to 100%! way much more than expected. The good news is that it charged almost 50% in the 1st half hour. Anyway, i will be charging it overnight from now on, so its no biggy.
i currently have both watches and the moto vibrator is stronger. and i keep my watches relatively tight so they dont slide around and the huawei is definitely weaker. i can see how people who keep it loose may not feel it.

Thanks - is there any way to turn off the display, or the entire watch, while charging? Just thinking this might speed up the process, and reduce heat build-up. I seem to remember reading that there is a setting in the developer options in Android Wear for this.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm still on the fence on this one because I really like the Huawei. I'm going to go to Best Buy and check out the Moto in person.

Check out the thread next door: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360-2015/general/360-t3220206
I'm in the same position as you, but I don't have anywhere local to go and see these watches. I had actually settled on the Huawei and made my decision, but with reading over the past few days, watching video reviews and asking some questions on forums I've now swung in completely the opposite direction and am back to buying a Moto 360 42mm again!
I decided to stick with the Huawei. I just like the look of it better especially the ambient screen. My issue was small and really hasn't proven to be a big deal. Thanks again everyone for your feedback!

I was curious about the vibration strength as well.. I think my V20 has a weaker vibration motor so I seem to miss a lot of SMS messages and calls... my hope was if I get a watch, i'll be able to easily feel the vibration on my wrist... I read a few people saying the vibration was weak.. but seems to be on here most say its decent. Thanks!
