[Q] Who's not going 3d? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I kinda find it funny in a way that people were doggin the evo and bragging about the Evo 3d.
So now that you know the Evo 3d is locked down. Who is sticking to the Evo?
Evo is a great phone she is the best so you might wanna pick her up give her a hug and kiss it and she will forgive you for wanting to leave her for the Evo 3d.

Man I'm staying with the OG EVO
Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA Premium App

My upgrade eligibility isn't until like october or november, so I'll just have to see how the evo 3d scene is looking by then. I'm 99% sure I'm getting a new phone, I just hope it's an HTC and not something else.

I was going to stick with the OGevo even if the 3d had a dedicated "instant root" button!
I'm hoping we see something better by axemas.

I never jumped on the 3D bandwagon because I'm entirely happy with my Evo. I know it has better hardware and other optimizations, but my Evo is fast enough. I don't experience any lag, and I see no need for more speed. While the new Sense looks nice, I don't use Sense. I'd rather be able to load super awesome roms on my current Evo than have to stay on the stock Evo 3D rom for more than a week.
Regardless of that, the more I see the 3D, the more I want it. Still not bad enough to buy it out of contract, or sell my current Evo to help pay for it.
Maybe when the Evo 4D comes out six months later, I'll get that.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)

Ya I'm still loving the evo still beats the newest phones sprint is gonna release. I don't see the evo 3d being a big seller now lol. So the evo will be getting a OTA I wouldn't claim sprint is gonna let it die it's there best seller.

I'm keeping mine, no need to get rid of a phone that's less than a year old and works great!

Im keeping mine and if I want a touch of 3d ill intall the SPB Shell 3d

I wouldn't say it's a fail. It might be a fail in the eyes of rooters but it'll probably be very successful if it follows the trend of the EVO.
And it probably will be rooted sooner or later. If it can be locked or course it can be unlocked.

Got to upgrade to the new hardware is a definite must for me. no doubt, no doubt.

Lol nice feel bad for the people who are stuck with it and no longer want it from pre ordering it.

I need root access, unlock, customization, variety, the need to flash every few days. Sticking with the OGevo for now. I do have hope that it will be unlocked but till then, Ill stick with flashing in between the Kingdom Rom and CM7..

No root, No EVO 3D. I qualify for an upgrade next week but I'll wait for something that can be rooted. The whole 3D thing isn't my cup o' tea anyway.

I see no benefits of the 3D over the 4G.
I mean honestly, 3D screen? That's nothing special imo.
2 cameras = more bulkiness = bad... (But can video in 3D or 1080p Video)
So I'll be sticking with my current Evo..

Totally agree with you on that . I'm still loving the evo. Feel bad for the ones who sold there's lol to realize they made a mistake. There evo will be saying "why did you leave me why" low chilling creepy voice while they sleep. Lol better hope it doesn't come back Freddy Kruger style

No root????? Ughhhhhhhhh
I don't know what it is but something about this 3D, sparks some interest and I really want to get the phone on June 4th but no root......really????

People are only dogging Evo 4g because now there will be other options from Sprint that are at the same level or possibly a little better. But as long as Sprint hooks everyone up with Gingerbread and some of these excellent developers create some roms for it, I'll be quite fine with my original Evo. Evo 3D may be locked down and even if it wasn't, who's to say it would be any better?

My sentiments exactly...unless you totally can't live without a keyboard. You should be used to not having one on the Instank. But I say Shift between those two choices.

to be honost,i would like the evo.but the evo is slower than the epic and the shift,the battery life is BAD!!! other than that i love the big screen,great screen.i want the shift more than the epic,sense UI looks way better than touchwiz UI,the metal on the shift looks and most likely feels better than the plastic on the epic. thanks KB112!!
Personally, get an evo; much better than both. Between your choices, get the evo shift.
are all of you picking by favorite manufacterer,or are you going by software and hardware?

Hardware and performance...The evo performs better than the shift and epic, and the evo has better developer commitment. Personally never liked sliding keyboards because it makes them more vulnerable to breaking on the hinges no matter how well you take care of it.
And if you're gona spend close to 200$ on a phone, make it worth while.
the epic is $99 at radio shacks website (web only price) and the evo shift is $129 on radio shacks website.so,no matter what,im not buying the phone from sprints website or retail store to save money.if more people did that,they would save more money on phones.
i'd wait for the evo 3d. estimated about a month away. duel core 1.2 ghz processer. qhd screen. glassesless 3d photos and videos (can be turned off so don't cry about it), better everything. just wait a little bit.. you won't be sorry.
btw if youre doing it for the keyboard, swype is much better than a harware kb, mainly because it's just as fast one handed.

1. As stated, you can get 24hrs + out of the evo, I have some screenies to prove it.
2. Swype I personally think is better. I don't always use it, but it is far from difficult, and fairly accurate.
3. Well exactly, but you pay for quality, and its an invest,emt, well worth it
4. I'm mad the kyocera echo even made it into the running. It has minimal support, and any of the "dual screen" apps are few and far between. You don't need 2 screens to view 2 web pages, that's why they invented tabs.
i understand,but i dont have the money for a really expensive phone like the evo 3D,or the nexus S.and if i can only get the epic from radio shack for $99,that is exactly what ill do.but do you know if you can root an epic and put sense on it,a good,working sense,with sense looking widgets that look half as good?

Well I understand, but then at least get the evo shift; it'll have sense right off that back. Both can be rooted. I don't think you can put sense on the epic.

Well Its Official Our Phone is a piece of crap now that Evo 3d Duel Core is out...

Well now that the Evo 3d duel core phone is out today our phone is no longer the top dog... Now it is a piece of crap.... and sprint wont give me an upgrade until november! how dare they! So now i must be stuck trading between epics and evo 4g's every week! We need a support group... we can tell ourselves that our phone is great but lets face it no duel core and no duel cams either and no internal 4gb of internal ram,,,,, i need phoneagra from the makers of viagra.,...
It may not be the top current phone, but it is not a piece of crap. These kind of whining has got to stop among the mass public in the world. Everyone always complaining about their phones going "out of style" when new phones hit the market. Everyone always want to rush-buy the new phones, but always fail to realize that those phones will also be "out of style" when more phones hit the market. EVO 3D will be all the rave, but 6 months later...(next year?)..maybe sooner... EVO 3D will be considered "piece of crap" along with past phones. My gawd, the Epic is still a great phone. Stay with it for a few years, for sure I will. If you're rich, fine, keep getting new phones, who cares.
Epic are not a piece of crap. Period.
Thank you thunder for telling him off

Are you gonna be able to do anything with the evo 3d that you don't do with the epic? NOOO. So why spend more money if you will only be able to do the same things you are now. My definition of a pos is having a samsung instinct when this epic was first released and some would prolly say hey that was still a nice phone and it was but the amount of new features that I got with this epic was astronomical. That sir is when you get new phones. Besides their will be no apps and te development will be really slow on that for a long time. So me ill wait a couple of years till everyone has the dualcores figured out really well.

Now if you're referring to Sprint only offerings. That's not much to brag about. LMAO
In the rest of the phone world, epic lost it's crown soon after Tegra 2 phones were released.
Don't believe me? on the technical side, go look at the benchmarks. On the real world side, goto Radio Shack/Best Buy and play with those phones side by side to the your Epic.

i am just talking about the sprint devices. I also know that by the end of the year that quad core phones will be out... now sure if sprint will have quad core phones or not...
Really... this OP smells of e-peenor contest and is pretty moot.
Answer me this, does your Epic get you laid by the simple fact of you showing it to the tween girls and them melting all over you cuz you have an Epic phone?
If not, then your balls haven't dropped yet.
according to http://phandroid.com/2011/06/24/rumor-sprint-bringing-epic-4g-2-4g-galaxy-s-ii-in-q3/ the epic 4g 2 will be another piece of crap as it will be single core. As we know a flag ship phone must have the highest number of cores to date for the cell phone company.
souped up version of the original Epic. Inside will be a single-core 1.2Ghz processor and we’ll likely see Gingerbread. We’ll be on the lookout for a keyboard, of course, and the camera is said to be 8 megapixels instead of 5. But don’t expect too much more than that.

[Q] Evo or Evo 3D?

I was told that I can trade in my evo and $50 for a evo 3D but is it worth it?? I read that they will have root soon for the 3D...
It's worth it for a more up to date piece of technology. Root should be here in early September.
Personally I'm on the borderline because I think it's a great offer..however..that means I won't be able to upgrade until 2013. And next year an even better phone will come out.
Yes. I would do that in a heartbeat. I have three evos right now.
Was that offer without contract upgrade?

If it was me, I think I would wait for the EVO 4G +, or at least more information about it.
The 3D just seems like a gimmick that you might end up not using after a short time.
The 4G + is supposed to be the 3D minus the 3D but with the single 8MP camera. That's what I want. However since I just upgraded to get this one I have a while to wait.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I though about it, But i am keeping my EVO4G better, This ROM, KINGS Hybrid 3D is super fast, all works, I like my 8mega pix better, and somehow my Phone is faster 4G, than the new EVo3D
The 3d is crazy fast. Definitely an upgrade. I never realized how laggy synergy was until the 3d. Apps open instantaneously. Everything is quick. Screen is brilliantly colored and super high res. 3d is gimmicky, but I see myself using it for almost every picture. camera (3d or not) is better than og evo hands down. Feels more solid, more brick like, thinner, better to hold. Everything about the phone is better in my opinion.
Btw, all the reviews in this thread are from people who haven't upgraded for one reason or another. Of course they'll say don't upgrade. Ask in the 3d forums and you'll get all yes answers. You really need to make your own decision.

Listen to Dkdude. Trust me, I ran every rom there was on my 4g. Yes they were fast, but there is no comparison to what the hardware is capable of on the 3d. And like another member said. If you wait for "the next big thing", and trying to keep your upgrade, believe when you finally do get "that next big thing" 4 months later you will be out of date again.

Yea ur right, everything will always be out of date very quickly.
I just feel like I have an evo 3d without the 3d cause of thr new 2.1/3.0 roms. No I dont have a 3d and yes ive only played with it for 3 1/2 minutes at the sprint store, but my phone looked almost the same software wise sitting next to it. And I do like the design of my evo better.
To me it jus didnt excite me,like omg I have to get this, cause my og evo felt almost the same. I just wanna wait until one phone really excites me, and it probably wont be until this evo cant handle newer roms.

Good reason. Just none of the other phones coming out have anything over the evog either except dual core.

Just got the 3D coming from 4G.
So far it's great. Even the 3D stuff is fun to play with.
No regrets what so ever.
If you wait, you just push your next contract discount clock out further for the next next phone.
If you have full discount, I say take it now, so the clock starts running for the next upgrade discount.

Well, I got my full upgrade back. Some questions about changing to the EVO 3D...

I have an HTC EVO 4G, I'm considering upgrading to the EVO 3D.
My local Sprint store has a deal that if you have a 2 year upgrade and you trade in your EVO 4G, you can get the EVO 3D for $50.00 dollars.
I'm considering trading my EVO 4G in. As you can guess, I'm rooted. Do I need to un-root prior to trying to turn in phone in? I've taken my phone in for service, rooted without hassle before for this is different.
Also I do NOT have my factory HTC battery. I upgraded and gave my original to a friend. Is this an issue as far as trading in?
Thanks!
I did not unroot my phone nor did I put the stock battery back in. All they did was look at the esn number that was on the phone and then threw it in a drawer. They won't look through it or anything so you have nothing to worry about.

You should do it if you think the evo 3d is worth the exchange. You can also wait it out and see what else they will come out with. Im pretty sure they will come out with something much faster and better.
I would at least wipe it so there's none of your information on it
I played with the 3D in the store and wasn't all that impressed coming from the Vibrant on T-Mobile so I snagged up the Evo 4G while I waited for a better dual core. So now I am getting the Motorola Photon 4G on the 30th and since I am new to Sprint and within 30 days I only have to shell out an extra 100.
What I am saying is that over all the Photon looks to be way better then the 3D. I did not care for the 3D at all and it looked very odd. Also for me and my eyes I could see the layer that is over the screen when I moved the phone around and that was enough to turn me away. Also I really wanted one feature that really killed and that is Wiimote/other controllers and TV out at the same time. The Evo 4G and 3D wont have that since HTC has an odd BT stack that doesn't want to pair with a Wiimote and yes Cyanogen does but then you loos HDMI out so your still SOL. The Photon will do all that out of the box.
The other thing that looks really compelling with the Photon is the webtop. I see this replacing my PC for internet browsing and stuff. I don't play any PC games anymore and what games I do play are all on my phone so it is a win win win for me.
So consider the Photon before jumping on the 3D, it just might be a better match for you.
Photon better than the 3d? You are obviously joking. O....wait I think u are actually being serious.
Let's see outdated tegra 2 vs Qualcomm 2200..... No brainer.....
It will be half the phone the EVO 3d is
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
Also keep in mind u will probably never be able to run anything custom on the photon, yet the EVO 3d is weeks if not days away from being fully rooted. Then all this negative crap will go away when they see what the phone can really do.

It will be half the phone the EVO 3d is

Over all the only upside to the 3D is the 3D and it is not that great I played with it for 10 min in the store and it just seemed a little odd just like the 3DS.
for the CPU the Tegra2 beats the MSM8660 in benchmarks and real life speed tests. Games are created for the Tegra2 that don't run on other CPU's because they cannot handle the texture size. 16gb storage built into Photon and none on the 3D. Webtop, true HDMI mirroring, and correct BT stack for Photon and a docking station with USB device support.
But I'm not turning this into a war of devices, I was simply informing the OP that there are other choices out there as he kinda sounded a bit unsure of the move.
Yes u can,the b/l comes unlock.on the photon, I just don't like the kickstand.

You're right I won't turn this into a war if devices but to say the only upside is the 3d would just be incorrect. Any person could look at the specs of the two side by side and easily be able to point out many superior features in the EVO.

I just went back to my 4g after 2 weeks with a 3d. It wasn't for me as I felt the cost/benefit did not justify an upgrade. I realize now that the 4g is enough for my needs.

Check your information because it has been made very clear Motorola will not ship the photon with an unlocked bootloader.

Both Moto and HTC are bad about this. But Moto did unlock the Matrix so it's a safe bet that they will unlock the Photon to.
Dont do it. Just wait it out.

I tried that method and after waiting for a new graphics card for my PC 5 years passed and I was using a 5 year old card and was loosing out on a lot of good games(in my gaming days). So waiting for the next best thing will keep you waiting forever.

Especially because technology moves at such a quick rate, it's insane. New phones are being released, announced, or leaked almost every week. Besides, there's usually not too much of a significant change for many months at a time. Yeah, one phone has 1.2GHz instead of 1.0GHz, but would you really notice? And I mean really, truly notice? Not "Of course, the benchmark scores are higher", I mean "Wow, this game runs much better!".
I just bought an Evo 4G on a new contract last month, even though everyone told me that I should wait (or should have waited) for the Evo 3D. I'm very happy with my purchase, and after seeing both my boss' and my roommate's 3D's, I can honestly say that I don't regret it. Yeah, Sense 3.0 is awesome, but once root hits the 4G, I can even have that if I want.
No confirmation from Moto that they will be unlocking the Photon's bootloader. They have stated specifically that it will ship with bootloader, recovery and kernal locked as usual. Other than that it looks pretty good. Not my cup of tea, but the Galaxy S II should be here in about a month as well. If you're really patient, then most of the speculation I've read says that quad core phones will be shipping by Christmas. Personally I'll be sticking with my Evo 4G for now. 3D seems like a gimmick, no root for the Photon and, well, the GalaxyS II is a Samsung.

Thinking of switching to E3D...

Ok guys... What do yall think? I kinda want it because they have full working sense 4 and stuff in development. And i like the dual core proccessor. But the one thing i cant stand is the camera on it. I have seen side by side photos of it and the e4g and the evo 3d looks terrible. Like its chooses some really cold hue making the pic look blue and dark. So, what should i do?
Evo 4g or Evo 3d? oh and my upgrade isnt until next april...
Yes price is an issue. I don't have $450-$500 right now.
Why buy an e3d when you can get a 4g lte? If price is the issue, by the time your contract expires next April the price of the lte will have dropped alot and the e3d will prob be out of production (The 4g already is).
I was thnking of getting the e3d on craigslist, amazon, ebay etc. since its a fraction of the retail price.

Not even Newts One S rom?
I had a lot of issues with my e3d that always forced me back to EVO.
If you can get a good one, really cheap go for it. Make sure if you do local CL check digitizer really well to make sure it responds correctly. Went through 3 on my 3d. Otherwise, I would wait for the LTE.
Im probably not willing to go over 100, since its not worth it any higher.

I have the Evo4g and the Evo 3d. 4g is my "pda" and the 3d is my "phone.". Newts rom doesn't have 4g working, nor does it do 3D. Other than that, it's great. I need 4g to work so I use MeanRom ICS on the 3d. Everything works, 'cept it's Sense 3.6.
The 3d is a pretty fast piece of hardware.
