[HTC EVO 3D] Zabalba:
This is why Engadget is biased as all ****. The phone does support 1080p in 2D mode. The reviewer has his head in his ass.

The 2D camera is pretty good (if not a little grainy) and shoots video in 1080p. HTC has made a worthy successor to the EVO 4G.

I was about to have a heart attack thanks for finding that :D

Btw it's a she
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
I get that Engadget is biased..But he physically went into the camera app settings and the option just wasn't there.
[HTC EVO 3D] gmelchert:
myriam is a chick???
[HTC EVO 3D] galaxywhat?:
Yup look her up on youtube..
[HTC EVO 3D] kcodya:
I'm not that worried about it. Even if it's confirmed at 720 only, it could possibly be fixed in a software update.

If not, that's what custom roms and kernels are for.......:D
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
Cnet has a kinder review than some of the other sites... They state 1080p is there.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
If you're familiar with the custom ROMs--fundamental things like the camera are very difficult to work with... they STILL don't have stable 720p video recording on non-Sense ROMs on the Evo. At least, not in the latest CM7 ROM I've installed.

I'd imagine that the software layer of the camera is even more complicated than before, so don't get your hopes up.
[HTC EVO 3D] AyoJake:
so is it 1080p or 720p cause i've been seeing both?
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
If it stands true that there is no 1080 p video then I feel like i was lied to..esp after I placed a pre order
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
How many videos have you seen of the camera interface on the Evo 3D? I've only seen one, and there's clearly no 1080p option. All the other reviewers just rattle it off of the spec sheet they've had memorized for months now--just like the rest of us here.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdmtsx:
They might be biased...but did you watch the video....it shows only a resolution up to 720p for 2d filming.
[HTC EVO 3D] heathmcabee:
ummm wtf who is right
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Wondering the same thing. I clearly remember it saying it recorded 2d at 1080p at 30 fps
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
Multiple sprint reps said this when it was released...
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Something's gotta make this phone so cheap. Lol

[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
People keep talking about what reviewers said, but out of all of these ive only seen ONE video where they actually went into the camera options and that was the engadget one. Now unless they had a defective unit there was no option for 1080p recording only 720p..
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
bingo... and no one can provide video proof that it DOES exist.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Why put it in the FCC docs then?
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
weird, I can't find a valid link anywhere to the FCC filing that specifically states 1080p 2-D recording.
[HTC EVO 3D] jagox5:
So this Engadget review really got me thinking.. sorry guys, no 1080p recording...

no 3d for me.

Photon or galaxy s2 for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] billyapd21:
He might have had it in 3d mode, which is only 720p
[HTC EVO 3D] Xencer:
To be honest the camera isn't a big influence for me. I'm mostly switching to sprint so I can save about 20% off my bill for work, but also for a dual core phone and I have yet to own an HTC since the G1. I honestly think HTC is the best smartphone manufacturer so I'm going to give them a chance, and plus, if I don't like it I have what, 14 or 30 days to return it, right?
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
30 :) thats why i am not worried.
[HTC EVO 3D] ppcpirate:
The thisismynext review updated his review with the following:

"shoots video in 1080p (update: our version only seems to shoot up to 720p in 2D mode; we’re investigating and will get back to you!)"

so either the specs were misrepresented or the feature was taken out from the time the phone was first unveiled.
[HTC EVO 3D] BigRick10:
I can confirm there is no 1080p option.
[HTC EVO 3D] alhail99:
a Quote from ThisIsMyNext:
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Wow...well thats kinda disturbing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
It's the same price as it's predecessor is now. Something's making this phone cheap, I go by the motto "You get what you pay for." Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm expecting there to be budget cuts before release.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
So how will HTC justify not living up to their specs?
[HTC EVO 3D] Zabalba:
The possibility exist that either the other sites did not test the options in the video settings and it is indeed 720p shooting in 2D.

My hope is they received test phones and the actual phones on launch day come with 1080p 2D recording. Chances are slim at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
1. The Evo 4G was $199 at launch

2. The Evo 4G is now $149 ----> EVO 4G

3. The Hero was $499 off contract until the day the Evo was released and then the price dropped. This was the same price for the Evo 4G

4. Most high end smart phones are sold at $199 at release until the following year ----->$199 Sprint Phones
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
This is taken from Sprint specs on the Evo 3D...

HD video capture at 720p and playback up to 1080p

They probably had some issues with recording in 1080p, so they bumped it down to 720p.
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
I'd rather have the ability to take 1080p video in 2d than 720p video in 3D. With several lukewarm/negative reviews and now this, I may have to save my upgrade on something else. If the Sensation were on Sprint, I'd be all over it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
My Evo 4G's video is ~25-30 Mb per minute of video, where would that put 1080p video?
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
the engadget video clearly shows him in 2D mode, and switches to 3D right after he shows the 720p option. no 1080p.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zabalba:
For the record. The reviewer on Engadget about the EVO 3D is a woman..... I know I know...
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
Check out the reviewer's pic and tell me if you think think that she is a woman!
[HTC EVO 3D] Zabalba:
"IT" refers itself to a woman.
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Unless you plan on playing the recorded videos on a big TV, there won't be a big difference in what the eye can see.

Let's be real.

It's a PHONE.

It's not a dedicated camcorder or camera ---->1080p camcorders for sale
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Don't we have the camera apk from the from E3D rom and it has 1080p option? This just doesn't make sense :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
You're missing the point... HTC and Sprint promised this feature for ages... That was the flag-ship feature, other than the 3-D aspect. This was supposed to be a game-changer in terms of camera quality...

No one is arguing that a dedicated 1080p camcorder wouldn't be better...
[HTC EVO 3D] popimpg:
I just got my evo 3d at an htc event in irvine today...i con confirm that both sprint and htc are full of **** because at the event they stated it WOULD record in 1080p 2D, but the highest option is on 720P :( Still a kick ass phone though (so far)
[HTC EVO 3D] vWvSTATICvWv:
Wow, that sucks! I mean it's cool that u got the phone but this 1080p thing blows! Ok so lets get this bad boy rooted so we can put the apk we have back in to see if we get 1080p. *chants* ROOT ROOT :p
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
1080p is 2d mode
[HTC EVO 3D] popimpg:
WRONG!! i have the phone in my hand right now and its says 720!!
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
can you post a pic, or it didn't happen sorry. The phone is unreleased and anyone who claims to have it and comments on certain feature should really post a pic of the settings so we can verify their claims.
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
I get it.

I think there were some issues that came up and so they bumped the recording down to 720p.

What they will probably do again is wait for some dev on here to get it working and release an update a month later with 1080p support.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
give us a review enough with all this engadget bs what do u think about the phone?!

[HTC EVO 3D] sparhawk6:
While I understand why people would be a little annoyed that HTC said it would record in 1080p and now it doesn't, I don't get how people are just going to dump the phone because of that. Honestly - how many 720p video did you shoot with the EVO 4G? I didn't do much because it was horribly choppy. When I heard that this would record 1080p, I thought...great, maybe now the 720p is smooth. I'm still hopeful for that. If you honestly intended this to be your primary camcorder, well, I've got some magic beans to sell you.
[HTC EVO 3D] BigRick10:
I just posted a pic a couple pages back. Here you go again.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
1. people always want something to complain about

2. the above people probably never record anything significant, that will be saved for any lengthy point in time

3. why are people complaining about stock crap, like everyone here won't have this thing so custom in a month that it will hardly resemble out of the box

4. didn't a good portion of you already say the video didn't look that bad from the wirefly review?

5. the bruins won the Stanley Cup, yay for a party in Boston in the next couple of days!!

What is the Online HD setting?
[HTC EVO 3D] BigRick10:
That I'm not sure of. It was a friend of mines EVO as he works for Sprint. Had to drop by and check it out :-) Ill ask him about it tomorrow.
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
ok here is a question. Was the switch flipped to 3d when that shot was taken if that is the case would it be because of that since it only shoots 720p in 3d. It that has been verified than its cool. From the pic it looks like the switch is all the way to the left and that is the 3d setting.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
THE flag ship feature? Hardly.

9. Partied all week. Parade tomorrow

10. Miami and "THE BIG 3" are still crying over the loss
[HTC EVO 3D] BigRick10:
No I took the pic while in 2D and this I made sure of.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
So the HTC Camera app does not have 1080 mentioned. That does not mean the hardware is not capable of 1080. That is what really matters. Software can be changed (CM, custom Sense ROM with different Camera apk, OTA update) Hardware....you get another phone.

We need to actually find out if the phone supports it.
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Last year they said they would be putting 1080p recording on a mobile device, making 5.1 surround sound on a mobile device, and releasing a tablet.

But yeah, I could have swore the Flag Ship feature is 3D pictures and videos and being able to view 3D content. 1080p would be 2nd or 3rd on the list.

I'm sure the hardware is there. It's just needs some work on the software side.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
YES!

I love that Miami's "big three" (sorry the big three is still garnet, pierce and allen) are such poor sports

congrats on your cities win! I can't wait for the parade in Boston!
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
You mean the old three? Screw the Celtics. :D Bunch of whiners and fakers.
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
This seems odd seeing as the Sensation is already out and it definitely records in 1080p. Hopefully just a software issue that they're working on.

That'a a shame. I hope they fix it. To be honest if I had a choice between the 3d and thé sensation I would choose the sensation, but I'm glad I'm going back to sense from that crappy touch wiz. Sense is amazingly useful and it looks good. Much better than any of its competitors and in my opinion stock android. For all you people that say sense ls crappy and useless, you're entitled to your opinion, even if its the wrong opinion.

[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
I hope you're not talking about the EVO 3D... It does not have gorilla glass. This has been discussed to death.

Also, if it isn't recording in 1080p in 2D, it's definitely software, not hardware. Hopefully they'll update it soon, that is if it even releases with a failure to record 1080p.
[HTC EVO 3D] Deltatristar500:
hmm, interesting since most reviews out there mentioned that since the phone has dual core processors it can record in 1080p. Lets fix this "oopsy" HTC
[HTC EVO 3D] phyba:
Well said....I don't record much video anyways....this phone is still a beast...
[HTC EVO 3D] aimbdd:
A little annoyed? Very annoyed. False advertisement much? I don't honestly care what it records...its a phone, its gonna be crappy video. i am mad because they have been telling us for the past month that it records 1080 p and now all the sudden that changes.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
As long as the actual camera is capable of 1080p (which it could be), then they will probably fix that in one of the first updates.

They probably just had some problem with their coding somewhere that messed up the process.

All of the hardware should be capable of it, as it's one of the MSM8660's foremost features.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
Personally, I don't care. All my 'backed up' videos that I play on my 1080p tv are 720... Look just fine too. So recording and playing back in 720 on a tiny screen, Im sure will be just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
That's a BS signature. Please go watch the NOOB video on XDA TV. It seems it may apply to you. If anyone has went out of their way to respond to your question or have helped you or has just posted information you found useful. Its just a click. It's just showing you appreciate the help. I have yet to see anyone say I have more than you when it comes to that.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Why wouldn't it. Every other htc phone has it
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
I know this is off topic, but my signature doesn't apply to everyone. It has to do with people that have it in their signature, and then literally complain because they haven't been thanked for some little thing they did.

"Oh I told you to restart your phone, why didn't you thank me?" ...That kind of thing. Maybe I'll re-word it, but my point still stands, and I won't be removing it completely.

For some people, I've seen it used as just another thing to hold over others while trying to ensure that their ego is satisfied.

They already use:

"LOL look at how long you've been a member here" and the always popular

"LOL check my post count compared to yours"

This CAN be used as a great thing, to show who really helps people around here, and then their comments can be taken as trying to actually help people. Some people abuse it and turn it into just another ego boost, so it gets turned into something that doesn't matter. I know it only takes a second to click it, but clicking thanks isn't always necessary, as some people make it out to be. If you have yet to see someone abuse it yet, go ahead and check out the Archos Gen8 section. I won't name anyone, but that section is the reason for my signature.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andy0682:
not a big deal...its official says it on the sprint website...bait and switch perhaps but regardless i wasnt getting the phone becausde of possible 1080 p recording...especially if it can be upgraded at a later date.

the phone is still a beast imo, i just want to know if it comes out with unlocked bootloaders or how long do we have to wait.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Yeah, that's what I was thinking
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
How can you say it's definitely software? You have no idea how the internals were designed. Just because the main chip supports it, does not mean that a simple software upgrade will fix it for sure. It could even be that HTC didn't want to pay extra to license the 1080p functionality of the chip... so Qualcomm hardware-locked that ability. That happens on chips all the time.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Alright, maybe that was worded a little strongly on my part. I merely meant that the hardware that we know about is capable of 1080p, and we aren't limited by hardware limitations (such as what we have seen in previous generations of chipsets).
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
Don't take this as an attack, but everyone always says the devs will figure this or that out in no time... well how many of you have an AOSP ROM with 720p recording on your Evo right now? I know mine doesn't...
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Don't know why it doesn't, but it doesn't.

Featured Devices list:

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/featured-products

And it has nothing to do with the phone not being out yet so it just isn't on the list. The ChaCha isn't released yet but it's on the list.

The Sensation isn't on that list either, so not all new HTC phones have it (unless it goes by a different name).

One would have to imagine that they would put a big name phone on that list quick if it had Gorilla Glass.

(Unless they've just been lazy and haven't updated the page in a while)

(I would also like to note that the Hero is on that list, for people that seem to think that it doesn't have Gorilla Glass)

---

Edit: Contacted Corning, they told me to contact HTC for information, as they don't "keep track of all the devices" (which seems like they just didn't want to look). I called HTC, and the guy on the other line had no idea, and he told me to send an email to see if that turns up anything. He actually went to the Corning site while I was on the phone with him, and he was all confused about it, he had no idea that most of those phones had Gorilla Glass.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
DO you know why you don't?? Because HTC hasn't released source yet, and since it hasn't been 30 days since the released GB, they have until that 30th day. Once they do that, you and everyone else will have the 720P recording.
[HTC EVO 3D] btkgator:
So, as many of you have stated, the lack of 1080P recording is disappointing but it is not a deal breaker for me. However, I am really concerned about the call quality. PCMAG stated today that the reviewer tested the phone for a week and the call quality was poor. Also accessing the Internet was a problem on both 3G and 4G. That just won't work! Has anyone else had their hands on the phone and can you provide feedback on the call quality. We have 2 E3Ds on order and I already had my accessories delivered. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
From Engadget:

That's odd, since i'm pretty sure I remember the reps at CTIA specifically stating that you can record 2D video in 1080p. I wonder what changed from then until now to cause them to do this.
[HTC EVO 3D] x7nofate:
A sheet of Gorilla glass protects the 4.3-inch qHD capacitive touchscreen and includes silk-screened HTC and Sprint logos at top in addition to the capacitive buttons (home, menu, back, and search) at the bottom>>>>> http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/15/htc-evo-3d-review/
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Arguing with a fool proves there are two.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
AOSP ROMs have been out since almost the beginning. Never seen 720p. Disregard gb.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
So we're believing an Engadget review over the Corning Gorilla Glass website? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] Semantics:
The Sensation and 3D most certainly do use Gorilla Glass. The Corning website is not infallible. The Sensation uses curved GGlass.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Meh, I will love it if the 3D has Gorilla Glass, but I'm just not going to let myself get hyped up about something when there is no documentation for it other than a review. It's not on Sprint's, HTC's, or Corning's site.

There is no mention of the 3D having Gorilla Glass, so I'd rather not just assume that it doesn't until one of those three say otherwise. I called Corning, they didn't answer yes or no, and told me to contact HTC. I called HTC, and that guy was lost, so I emailed instead. I emailed Sprint and they emailed back me telling me that they couldn't give me that information until the phone was released (seems suspicious to me).

Hopefully HTC will reply to my email tomorrow and tell me that there is Gorilla Glass in them, but until then, I'll go ahead and pass on believing Engadget over HTC, Sprint, and Corning.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Not all phones are listed on Corning's site. It even says that on the site. Pretty much 90% of all htc phones have gorilla glass. Why would this one be different. I guarantee it will have it.
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
wtf i live in irvine... There was an htc even here??!
[HTC EVO 3D] RVDigital:
Even my 2 year old HTC Hero is listed as having Gorilla Glass. I'd be shocked if it didn't. I do agree that it is CRITICAL that the glass covering the cameras has it otherwise it could turn into a major engineering defect.
[HTC EVO 3D] bobdude5:
Ya me too! Nobody told me >_<
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
i woulda been there in an instant cause i finally got a carrr. GAHHHH
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Got a reply from HTC, doesn't look good for us.

I'm not concerned about not having Gorilla Glass, but at least it seems like someone finally gave an answer.
[HTC EVO 3D] Johnabis:
WTF? could this also be the reason why some are reporting thin lines in the screen and some aren't?
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Here is what it says......

Certain models have gorilla glass

these, which is referring to your request about the Sensation and Evo 3D, are not on the list to have gorilla glass.

However the Sensation does have it. So you can't really believe what they said.
[HTC EVO 3D] mevensen:
I didn't read that message to say that some devices of the same type will and some won't, I thought they were saying some models have it, some don't. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if your interpretation were the case, after all, EVO4G had different models with different screen panels, too.

Although they aren't saying, perhaps there are some optical qualities of Gorilla Glass that don't play well with the 3D attributes of the phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
I don't think that would really affect the 3D effect of the phone unless the layer of GGlass has something that would distort an image, which i doubt, but then again im no expert.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kermode:
Has anybody had any luck with javascript bookmarklets? They work on the phones, but I can't get it to work in the default browser. (And javascript is enabled)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PhonicUK:
It seems that copy-pasting a bookmarklet URL into the address bar works fine, adding it as a book mark and running it, not so much and rather a bit of hastle.

Seems that while the default browser may be webkit under the hood, its very unlike Chrome.

Since it turned off where you able to turn it on again ? After charging of course.
