[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
I've read and/or watched several of them and a couple of the negatives that pop up in more than one are the "mushy" feeling buttons and poor call quality. A couple positives that were reported by multiples are the innovative and fully customizable lock screen, extremely fast and smooth performance. Pretty much all said 3D was a gimmick and there was a very small sweet spot to see it correctly. Also, excessive 3D viewing was vomit inducing.
[HTC EVO 3D] aoaleman:
Fudge the reviews! The only one you should worry about is your own once you have the device in your hands! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] ballr4lyf:
I concur.

The mushy buttons were a complaint with the OG Evo, and I've overcome that in the year I've owned the Evo. It hasn't been a big deal, tbh... Not even in a Ballistic case.

The call quality is going to be a concern... Will have to see if it is acceptable, but we can't do that until we get it in our hands (It only has to be "acceptable"--it's a phone call, not a concerto). I fear that the reviewers might be approaching this too much like an audiophile, and the only way to find out for sure is to get it in our hands. Thank goodness for 30 day return policies. :D
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
engadget would give a box of matches with an apple logo on it a positive review.

Take the review for what it's worth, nothing. I prefer Sense over TouchWiz.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
This phone is the perfect step up from the OG EVO!

That guy/girl is so hard for the sgs2 that anything else needs to be less.

I just can't give up my HTC rugged build and fantastic UI for a platic flimsy ugly UI Sammy.

Might be the thinnest and have a faster browser, but that's all.

Let's not forget what a step up from eclaire to froyo was in performance. Software is all we need updated to get better hw acceleration on the EVO browser.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andy0682:
here is the pic of the guy sitting ont he bench as he wrote the review for the evo 3d....true story
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
In the written review they stated there battery observations included 90+ minutes of continuous 3d capture (stills & videos) there aren't many pocket cams that can take that much usage ...sorry but fail
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
Isn't Apple working on the privacy filter thing that will completely kill view angle... It will be great when they do it tho I guess lol
[HTC EVO 3D] noblerinthemind:
I read the review plus the Gizmodo review which was even harsher. On the one hand it's always good to read a review with a grain of salt, but on the other, Engadget is a pretty trusted source. If I'm just going to discount every negative review I see why read one? I believe the reviewer was giving her honest opinion, not a paid stooge for Apple/Samsung. 3D was never something I was that interested in and battery life is one of the most important things for me.

"Ultimately, we've come to think of the EVO 3D as a Sensation with a lesser camera, cheaper materials, worse battery life, and without the ability to roam worldwide." link

Yikes. If that's true, I'm going to hold out longer until you folks tell me she was wrong about the battery life AFTER you've had the phone for a while.
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
Yes I know the filter thing has been done for years, but apple's will b special..prolly called iView lol
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
That answer is already out there. In the WSJ revew the guy got a full day out of the battery leaving 4G on the whole time while tethering for a while and doing some pretty intense other tasks.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
I can't remember how many movies I've seen where the movie critics said it sucked. When in actuality it was really good. I'll form my own opinion when I get it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Richard_Danger:
I remember all the EVO 4G reviews weren't that great either and the EVO 4G is one of the greatest things I have ever bought. IMO, the only phone better than the EVO 4G is the T-Bolt. So **** all these reviews. If I went by all the reviews, including engadget's last year, then I would have missed out on the EVO 4G and ended up with a Samsung Galaxy S phone that took MONTHS to get 2.2 and a gps fix.

I dont see how these people are making judgements on the battery life with only a few days use. It took me 1-2 weeks to break in my EVO's battery. Sure I got 6 hours on it the first couple of days, but after a week I able to go a full day on the battery.

Hopefully android central's review will offer some deep insights on this phone since they typically know what theyre talking about.

Also, who the hell is the reviewer for engadget? I thought it was a really nerdy guy with a hideous mohawk. Now I find out its an chick with a hideous mohawk. They expect me to take the opinion of this person seriously?
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
If I listened to all the reviews, then I would have an iphone. Thank God I have a brain. This should be my sig:p
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
God that is a great comparison! 90% of the time I feel the opposite way the critics do!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
Threw up in my mouth a little....

So much commotion over the reviews. Last year the reviews on the EVO stated poor battery life and look how many folks still got the phone and enjoy using it to this day. I have no issue charging my phone while I sit at work during the day.

Anxiously waiting for June 24 to have the 3D in my hands. I can then form my own opinion and will have 30 days to decide if it lives up to MY expectations.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Rememberer the movie "The Goonies"? That's Sloth's sister
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
He was prettier....
[HTC EVO 3D] crabjoe:
I don't get why some are so upset with any bad review, especially Engadgets.

Based on what reviews I've seen, it seems to be a mixed bad. Some like the E3D, others don't think it lives up to the hype.

Personally, even without testing the phone, I think the phone will be a good Android handset, but still needs tweaking in the camera department and battery life. Camera and Battery seem to be HTC's weakness. Outside of that, it's a great phone for the average user, period.

Some users may hate it, I'm thinking those coming form iPhones or Samsung Galaxy S will have the camera, but others will think it's the best thing since sliced bread because of the 3D.

Me... I just want a dual core Android handset with average to above average features, at a good price, great build quality, with an unlocked bootloader. The E3D fits that bill.
[HTC EVO 3D] washjayb:
I'll be glad when the

1. Actual device is released to the public

2. The usual *****ing is dispensed with ( light leak, dust under the screen, glue gobs, mine has firmware x instead of y, etc..)

3. When are we gonna get root ?'s are quelled with SU access.

4. Roms are available.

Until then, I will just get what i ordered and judge for myself. The android Central video demos a blazing fast UI on a well made device that is by far the best that sprint has to offer at this time.

Moto- not interested. SGSII- not interested( Ill put my money on a slider ie. Epic II). Im pretty certain that this will be the sprint device to have until next year and will be acceptable for the next 2 if it comes down to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
Thank you.

Little little schoolyard boys...

[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
All I know is: Ill know within 5min of setting up my Evo 3D whether its a keeper...or just tiding me over til the SGS2 breaks on Sprint: and that's the quality of the 2D pics...specifically in indoor poor lighting conditions.

HTC has had one year of fielding poor Evo 4G camera feedback. We'll see how they've responded.

I've trialed the SGS2 on AT&T for 3 weeks now. Evo 3D has got to be in that ballpark or its 'outta here'.
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Amen Matt! Obviously these reviewers never heard of XDA. Give it a little tweak and bam, you get a much better phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Topgun966:
Isn't Gizo and Engadget owned partly by Apple? Both sites bash android every chance they get
[HTC EVO 3D] phistyle:
I don't know if you guys realize this, but last year sprint's selection of good phones was like what? evo 4g or the epic and that was it for high end phones. Of course most of you guys and including myself gotten the evo 4g since it was really the only good high end phone from sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
It's funny that #2 still exists... why does HTC's QC suck so much? My guess is that is the only way they can compete with Apple in terms of price. People would flip out if the iPhone had half the bugs/defects that our cherished HTC devices have... I still won't buy an iPhone though...
[HTC EVO 3D] KingKuba13:
EVO review got 9/10 on engadget last year.

atrix 9/10

sgs2 9/10

sensation 8/10

so it's not like they bash all androids, evo 3d probably deserves an 8 not 7.
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
I feel those were all bandwagons. If a majority of sites are saying a phone is amazing and revolutionary they can't just come out and say it sucks because it would cause a lot of questioning and hate. Also the person who did the Evo 3d is pretty biased(Myriam). The reviews you noted were not done by her. Many have noted how she hates on android phones during the Engadget podcast so yeah....if we got one of the other reviewers we probably could have seen some better, unbiased information. Myriam just nit picked and emphasized the flaws.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
I think this says it all. Notice how 4 of the 8 quick links are all Apple.
[HTC EVO 3D] ajftl:
LMAO......... dude....please...stop it...lol
[HTC EVO 3D] ajftl:
lol...u too.. stop it! lmao........... other phones like sensation/sgs2/g2x etc etc pulled out great reviews...not apple products
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
I'm really just screwing around. As many have said, the only opinion that really matters is your own. You can't help but think there's personal bias though considering how polarized the reviews are. I'm still getting it and I'm sure I'll still love it just as I love my 4G. All this talk is really just because everyone is just chomping at the bit to get their hands on this thing. Should be funny the morning of the 24th, this place will be a ghost town as everyone is unboxing their new toy, I know I will be.
[HTC EVO 3D] phistyle:
more like that morning, after they unbox it, they'll be crying about every little thing wrong with the evo3d
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowxaero:
All I know is once the devs get their hands on the E3D, its going to be one of the greatest things out.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
What did the devs do for the Evo, in the end? Yeah we got AOSP, and a few hacked versions of newer Sense ROMs, (typically without 4G,) until this latest round in the last month from the Kingdom I believe...

AOSP isn't much faster, if at all, and much buggier and missing quite a few features. I am all about freedom and whatnot, but I don't expect major changes from the devs... just minor tweaks like usual.

The devs to a LOT of work, so don't take it that way... all I am saying is what the CAN do is limited... because of drivers and whatnot. It's not like they can magically make an OS that works as well as the hardware-accelerated original OS, (assuming HTC is finally giving us that.)
[HTC EVO 3D] dresr82:
Just noticed that according to Engadget, the Kyocera Echo and Sidekick 4g are better phones than the E3D. E3D got 7/10 and Echo and Sidekick both got 8/10. Now how many of us really believe that? Just saying! *Shrugs like Kanye interrupting Taylor Swift.*
[HTC EVO 3D] peacekeeper05:
Beause during the time kyocera echo and sidekick was released, there is not much competition. The only dual core out is the atrix and the optimus 2x. But now, GS2 set the standard too high that other android phones needs some little catching up to do. I do not own the gs2 and i do not like samsung but lets face it, it is one hell of a monster phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] jxr94:
Its too hyped. The processor is better, but dayum, its really not that. And honestly AMOLED+ isn't any different unless your holding it next to a non AMOLED+ screen, otherwise, it looks normal.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
Lol...if you hold a GS2 next to another GS2, they will look the same. How lame.... I expected better from you Samsung ;)

And I'm getting the EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
I have no problem with Engadgets review...slanted or not.

I'd rather get worst-case-scenario info upfront. All devices have issues at launch....doesn't mean the device overall isn't still superb.

3D has issues. Been validated across the board. Quit attributing it all to pro Apple anti Android childishness.

Deal with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] lrosenman:
For me with a lazy eye, the 3d is not the selling point. The faster processor and more internal memory are the biggies. I was hoping for greater than 2 gig free on the stock Rom, but apparently that's not going to be the case. I'm still looking forward to it on Friday.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
More memory= higher price tag.

How did Sammy do it you say.

Cheap plastics. The End.
[HTC EVO 3D] lrosenman:
I am wondering what they managed to bloat into 4g such that only 1.1g is free....
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
The bashing is getting pretty intense on the reviews comments section, and the bashing is about the review itself. Myriam is replying to some of the messages to try to defend her horrible review.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:
She used to be a developer? Did she quit or was she fired for sucking at that too? Game devs aren't the greatest though lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikemm:
about reviews

1 point is the camera is 720p in 3d mode 1020p in 2d mode also everyone is bashing this phone cause of reviews while lets see the evo 4g still keeps up with phones that are coming out now including the nexus s as far as software and upgrades im running android 2.3.3 and sense 3.0 on the original evo so that shows that htc can last longer then most of its competitors think of what htc device you are switching from and how long you've had it and your upgrading now after all that time you could probably keep the evo 4g for another year and it will still hold up to the competition when if you have a moto product you always want the newer one it doesnt say much unless you can afford the full price of a newer phone every year to top it off every time i talked to a tech they have told me dont show the evo to people they will start drooling to top it off iphones yeah you can unlock them but cant do nearly anything compared to what you can do with android phones oh yeah and you can get apples market apps on an android phone with the right app you CANT get android apps on the iphone also the evo 3d i beleive is setting the pace for the new phones coming out notice they are all coming out after the evo 3d my final point is for all the sgs11 lovers on this forum did you know that apple has to have acces to there new phones because they got sued for copying iphones? if you love samsung or iphones so much get them and get off this forum i will be getting the evo 3d on the release date jun 24th and i will be happy with it.

[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
SAMSUNG can push out higher specced phones because they make most of the components in house..they decide who gets samoled..for example when ppl were loving there amoled incredibles Samsung pulled the plug and HTC had to switch to s lcd..also they produce their exynos soc ..sure they license the a9 architecture but they optimize it themselves...HTC has to go through Qualcomm who also licenses the tech..which costs a lot of $..that why the msm8660 is built on cortex a8..they are trying to squeeze the last of juice out of it..but on the other hand a8 is just an architecture..and Qualcomm has heavily modified the soc on the 3d..don't assume just because a chip is a9 that its better than a8..the 8660 is capable of things that the exynos isn't..it neon compatible which may not mean much now but it will in tje future when its code is implemented..also it has been tweeked to execute somewhat out of order commands similiar to the a9..I believe it is on par or superior to the other offering from NVIDIA or Samsung.. I don't believe it is fair just to assume that the sgs2 is plain superior..and again its not released here so nothing should be compared to it that's on the American market..this will be the best phone offering when released..and to me deserves a much better score than a 7..the echo dropped not that long ago..bottom line is it better than the e3d..absolutely not..not even in the same league..its not superior to the original evo..so don't worry guys..the phone will be the power house u all expect..sorry for the long post
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:

[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
The length of the post is fine. The content is passable (especially lately). But do the forum a favor and look up how to form proper sentences and paragraphs and get back to us.

You guys are the *****es..im soo tired of people talking about paragraphs; spelling etc..im not writing a college composition..I was trying to relay some information..sorry for going over your head...my.next post will be..."this phone will kick ass" and maybe that will be acceptable for you..im typing on my phone douche bag..i never flip flopped or took sides i stated my opinions based on facts..something nitwits like u two don't understand.. I didnt attack anyone but u Mr tough guy talk your **** behind your computer..while I would kick your teeth out in reality..I'm.so tired of people like you in this forum..i try to contribute some info and that's what I get..ppl like you ruin this forum..I hope my paragraphs and capitalization are to your liking troll. **** off
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
I don't have the best grammar, and I never will. But there are standards society has agreed upon so that people can quickly and easily read and comprehend what others have written.

Until you meet at least the minimum set of those standards, no one will read the content of your post. It is not worth the effort to see past the lack of format.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Whatever you say bud..I used periods and I didn't think it was hard to read if you understood the terminology..but that's ok..continue with your mindless banter.. and knock people for trying to add some insight ..posts about paragraphs and punctuation are definitely more.informative
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
You are right, insight like saying the Echo (a phone everyone knew was a joke) isn't as good as the 3d is the kind of stuff everyone in the forum needs to read.

But you could have written the meaning to life, but the majority of people would skip right over it because they refuse to read that post.

If you are as smart as you think you are, then it isn't that hard to post in a way people don't mind reading.
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
I'm done with this..I'm.not arguing with you ...and your.right my whole post was about the evo being better than the echo....I was trying to reassure people that the soc used in the 3d was good competition for the exynos..I apologize for that..I've never argued on this forum b4 and don't intend to start now ..sorry my paragraphs weren't up to par..I'm.half asleep from a long day and I.tried to answer a concern from.somebody.about the a8 ..didn't think.I would.get accused of.having "split personalities" or to make.my ****ing mind up ..but at least they used better punctuation
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
How are you guys conditioning your new battery in the sensation? I'd love to hear some tips from people here. Here's what I did: bought the sensation on the 12th, kept it off & plugged it in wall charger. It got really hot for some reason but I let it charge all the way to green light. Then I started it up for the first time and in 2 days let it die all the way. I let it charge again all the way to full that night and in the morning unplugged it and have been using it normally now.

Battery has been weird since day one: After 5-6 hours off the charger and after using it for may an hour's worth of browsing etc... it still shows 100%. Then after the sixth hour or so, it starts going down. Like today, it got off the charger at 8 am and right now at 7 pm, its at 60% battery left. I've used the net on it for at least hour and a half, sent 15 full res. pics to my gmail acct from the camera, and also browsed on the xda app a little. What do you guys think?

edit: All data was on 4g, wifi & bluetooth off whole time.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
Sounds like you started charging it right after you purchased it...without letting it fully drain first? I'm pretty sure most manufacturers suggest to FULLY drain the battery when you get it new.

Hey there ,

I had HBoot version .77 ( I think ) and went right to .92. Did it all as the instructions said to ( download the file,change it to the PBIMG13 or whatever.zip, put it at root of SD, did the update at the HBOOT screen and it says it's fine.) when I go to that Hboot screen now it says it indeed is .92 ( yay! ) but when I let it boot all the way it just hangs at the white HTC Incredible screen. I can get to recovery and all that stuff so it's not bricked just won't move passed that screen. My specs are the following :

Radio : 2.15.00.11.19

HBoot : .92
