[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
I'm not asking about taking a picture, only viewing it. And I only ask about a photo cause it's easy and direct yes or no. What I really want to know is if the screen can show 3d in portrait. I've assumed that it cannot. But xHausx thought it could as well as GSM Arena said it could.

I know the theories. Just want someone with the phone to do this one test to prove it.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
So the screen definitely shows 3d in portrait?

Sweetness.
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
actually its not that bad in portrait,for some reason it takes a bit longer for my eyes to register the 3D lol

but after a minute it'll look fine in portrait,but of course the pic is smaller

when u landscape it, it goes full screen and then its easier to see

But if defiinately shows in portrait. I havent taken any pics yets, im using the 15 standard 3d pics that came with the phone
[HTC EVO 3D] getimmaaw:
I have the device, and while it does show a 3d picture in portrait mode, it is not in 3d, its eschewed and weird. when you turn it to landscape the photo becomes 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
i thought that at first,but i stared at it longer, its DEFINATELY in 3D in portrait, i have 20/20 vision
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
That's likely because your brain is going through the motions of imagining that both of your eyes are stacked on top of eachother...seriously. It is physically impossible to have an actual 3D viewing experience in portrait...perhaps your brain is interpreting it and getting some depth information out of it...kinda...but it is not intended to be viewed that way.

...though I do think think an orientation agnostic parallax barrier technology could be developed and made relatively inexpensive eventually. I know nothing about the parallax barrier technology, though as a high end specialty screen printer in a former life I'm very familiar with lenticular printing and I imagine it's the same idea...I also imagine that the barrier is a black-n-white LCD type technology oriented at angles....and I don't see why they couldn't have multiple angles...though that would probably add thickness....but once the resolution of the screen gets high enough it would probably not be too noticeable....

...or I'm way the fnck off...
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
I like saywhat's take on the matter!

Others please confirm. I'm getting geeked for 3d ui possibilities now
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
We should just rename this entire General forum to "Confirmation Bias Central" until everyone gets the damned phone in their hands...christ.
[HTC EVO 3D] austontatious:
I too thought that paralax barriers only worked in one orientation, but the portrait orientation definitely looks 3d. 3d UI sounds sweet, I would suggest a default UI orientation of landscape - I know I almost always have my phone in landscape anyway

ps - I am on my EVO 3d right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
Sorry daneurysm, but yes, I am using the forum to ask a question to those who have a device already. I'm just not sure Jesus cares enough about this for you to drag Him into it. :)

I think that's 2 who say definitely parallax 3d works in portrait. One or two more confirm and I'll change the op title maybe. HTC is stupid for not explaining this clearly.
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:
Its taking my eyes forever to adjust to the 3D effects.... lmao

R.I.P corneas

Sent from my HTC Evo
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Amen to that, lol.

HTC was not clear at all and I have heard conflicting theories from all across the board...though I am suspicious that HTC not commenting directly on it would suggest that they don't want to say it can't be in 3D for 90% of the things you use your phone for.

I don't see it being impossible, in fact quite the opposite as I explained above...though I figure we would have heard about this specifically if it was "3D however you hold it" technology.

I hope it is 3D all the way around, but, logic is pointing in the opposite direction....don't underestimate your brain's ability to overestimate it's input stimuli, it's fascinatingly good at 'filling in the details', especially visually.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
For now. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
Maybe it does 3d in portrait with 2 parallax barriers and switches between them. And perhaps they didn't advertise it because portrait 3d is even more eye straining? Idk, but it's cool if it can do it.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I don't see how or why that would be impossible to do...and like I said before (and I should google it...maybe later...not now) I know nothing of this technology, but I imagine it's like old black-n-white LCD technology with each strip at an angle...or two, one on each side for alternating lines....but perhaps they could do a matrix and trigger it like a dot-matrix LCD, one for horizontal and one for vertical depending on orientation....though that also changes the angles...I wonder if the supposedly limited viewing angle has something to do with this in any way.

...don't concern me, I look at my phone dead-on...like everybody...and I don't treat it like a home theater either...
[HTC EVO 3D] Quiksmage:
The 2D -> 3D button is only for the camera, right? Is it going to be possible to completely turn off the 3D effect? I'm sure the novelty will wear off and I'd rather the battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
The switch is just for the camera. And I think you basically "turn 3d off" by not viewing any 3d content. It switches the screen automatically
[HTC EVO 3D] Quiksmage:
So viewing 3D content doesn't impact battery life?

Like watching a 3D movie vs a 2D movie, for example.
[HTC EVO 3D] Meanee:
Have the phone in my hands and no, there is no portrait 3D. In 3D mode, rotating the phone gets you incredibly distorted picture, that simply too blurry, nevermind 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] Meanee:
Don't think it impacts battery life, since it simply enables an overlay with parallax barrier. Maybe added processing power?
[HTC EVO 3D] sterlinron:
Not sure why all the conflicting reports, but my 3D definitely DOES work in portrait mode although the phone does tell you that for optimal viewing to use landscape.

Video however only plays back in landscape mode.

What I can't figure out (haven't read the manual yet) Is if there is any way to adjust the depth of the 3D other than through the Spiderman game. If I turn the 3d up to the max on the spiderman game then go to my home screen the home screens are kinda fuzzy or pixelated. I have to go back into spiderman game and turn the 3d back down. I checked the display settings etc. and don't see anything. I'm sure its there, just need to find it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Greenfieldan:
Because so many people have picked a camp that they believe and are telling others that they "have the phone" when, in fact, they dont'. The general idea seems to be that it has 3D in portrait, although it doesn't look good. I was just with a 3D at a store about half an hour ago and to me it just seemed blurry, but still slightly 3D. I wonder if people just have different views on what 3D is?
[HTC EVO 3D] sterlinron:
Sorry my brain was scrambled a little in my original post and was saying portrait for landscape etc. I fixed it, but the quote of my post shows it backwards.

End disclaimer
[HTC EVO 3D] Meanee:
Not sure why there is such a difference of opinions. My phone looks great in landscape, put in portrait, its a fuzzy, unusable mess.
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
Wow. I'm beginning to think that I could have the phone in my hand and still not know if it can show 3d in portrait....
[HTC EVO 3D] SayWhat10:
again mine just took a minute to kick into 3d,but im 100% sure about waht 3D looks like

it works in portrait mode

When others get theirs, they will soon agree to this as well

This might sound silly but stare at it at least 30seconds and see if its in 3D

landscape 3d seems to work instantly,but portrait takes some time
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:
thats exactly what I did...
[HTC EVO 3D] xeroxsmm:
Meannee, its because you are confusing people. Intentionally or not, I don't know.

YES, when the CAMERA is in 3D mode, portrait orientation looks fuzzy and unusable. But when you take a 3d picture in landscape, and VIEW it in portrait, it most certainly is in 3d. Case closed.
[HTC EVO 3D] treckin:
Haha dude if the paralax barrier is capable, then its just a simple matrice conversion..

Typed driving on the frway, sorry for spelling
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
So GSM Arena had it right. 3d capable in portrait which the LG cannot do. According to LG, 3d in portrait has a high cross-talk ratio. Maybe why some have a hard time finding the 3d in portrait.

http://blog.gsmarena.com/htc-evo-3d-vs-lg-optimus-3d-taking-the-fight-to-another-dimension/

Still I'm excited to see what can be done with this in the future.

Thanks to those who confirmed!
[HTC EVO 3D] Vvlioncourtvv:
Some people have no problem viewing 3d like myself. Some people have problems viewing 3d. Some people are incapable of viewing 3d. johnny depp has this problem he stated this in a stranger tides interview. He even stated the name of the condition but I forget what it is. So it would be understandable that most people will have problems viewing 3d in portrait due to the smaller viewing size.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
Johnny Depth...lol...I've never known him as that either, okay, I'm going to bed, that's way too funny
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
3D in portrait works for me. It takes a little longer to get the angles right but I can definitely get it to a point where it looks just as good as in landscape, just smaller.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
I'm pretty sure everyone that's still saying its impossible is only upset because they got proven wrong and can't take the heat.

HTC EVO = my best friend
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
This :)

HTC EVO = my best friend
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Completely agree. The cameras on top of eachother don't let you do good portrait pictures by the you most definitely can view a landscape picture in 3d in portrait mode. I was shocked when I tried it myself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RobWill116:
I am having a few problems with rooting my Galaxy S.

I have looked for hours at different threads about different root methods and different kernels but I am not sure which root method and kernel to use.

I am running Gingerbread 2.3.3 XVJVH. Can somebody give me some advice and provide me with a link to rooting instructions with your preferred method please?

Thanks

RobWill116
[Galaxy S I9000 General] norbi2011:
Hy!

I'm using already rooted kernel's like SpeedMod.You can try with this--->

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044519

(but this is for 2.3.4 but should work on 2.3.3)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cgo372:
I have tried all root versions with JVP, almost to the point to brick the phone and I came to the following conclusion why do all the kernels remove the bootanimation sound????

I reinstalled the original stock JVH because JVP has a huge battery drain not explicitely on the usage settings but with the same usage of applications on a daily routine the phone wouldn't last 14 hours. With JPY and now JVH, the battery last almost 48 hours.

I just want to have root to install the daily briefing from JVP and to calibrate the GPS but there is no rooting method nor kernel which stick to stock rom implementing only root, busybox and su and the rest to remain untouched....either the bootanimation sound is removed or you get extra tweaks when you are not using it...so anynone for a minimalist rooting?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Try fuguroot. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cgo372:
Tried it. it removes the boot animation sound, so all the other root method...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] norbi2011:
You could try with one-click root but i'm not sure that will work on 2.3.3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cgo372:
it doesn't work either...see my desperation?:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lownoise:
Flash speedmod kernel

Apply root from recovery

Flash stock kernel

Or flash ramad's deodexed jph with's pre rooted
[Galaxy S I9000 General] markie32:
just put the boot sound back yourself!:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RobWill116:
Thanks for all the replies! I think I'm going to give fuguroot a go sounds the easiest haha

Just wanted to check firstly, is there.no root with JVH? Just the fact a lot of people have said it has the best battery life

RobWill116
[Galaxy S I9000 General] evil_fish:
Hmm I'm using Chainfires CF-Root. It works perfectly with jvh. Although you need to use odin to flash the kernel. But I don't think it's a problem for you if you know how to flash stock rom. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RobWill116:
Thanks I might give that a go as well. I new to SGS flashing, had X10 but O2 couldn't fix it and didn't have anymore in stock so gave me SGS instead! I'm sure I'll find some instructions anyway - unless you want me help me out further and post a link ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] evil_fish:
With pleasure. :D

Note! You really should be sure that you are on JVH and please read the thread I linked to you carefully. In cause you would brick your phone. I bricked my phone a couple of times already by doing something else stupidly. However here in Finland Samsung is kind enough to fix it for me always. Even I explained that I bricked it by flashing some other roms myself

Again If you are indeed on JVH. then:

1st. head to this thread by ChainFire himself.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108&highlight=CF-ROOT

2nd. search for "CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.zip" to download.

3rd. Unzip the file.

4th. open odin and load this file as PDA.

5th. put your phone into download mode and then connect to your computer.

6th. flash and done. :D

One thing you might want to know. ChainFire Root removed the booting sound as well. But it keeps the original boot animation.
[HTC EVO 3D] WeatherTech:
So...just got the EVO 3D like many other today...

I need a good screen protector either from Amazon or Best Buy ASAP. Not sure what brands are the best or if there's a good one out for the E3D as of yet.

Next, looking for a holster (case and belt clip) that can securely hold me over until the ballistic cases are out. I'm not keeping this thing in my pocket where it could get inadvertently scratched.

Looking for best suggestions!

Best answers get thanks! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] firemedic1343:
I'm considering TPU until Ballistic.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
Well as far as the screen protector goes I'm a huge Bodyguardz fan. But as of now that does no one any good as they are taking their sweet time getting this to the market. Was hoping to have it here before I had the phone.

As for the case I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. I love the sexy design and look of this phone so I would love to keep it naked, but the thought of it not looking that way a year from now makes me sad, so I may put some protection on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] WeatherTech:
I see a few decent looking screen protectors on Amazon but I have no idea if they are of good quality. Any word on if Radio Shack or Best Buy are actively selling accessories yet? Or not until Friday? - Soooo worried about damaging this thing.

I've gotten dependent on my Blackberry holster so I feel like my phone is insanely exposed without it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ponchoedout:
Zagg Invisible Shield

Just an FYI.

Best Buy and the Sprint store don't have the shields for the EVO 3D as of today, at least my local stores. But Radio Shack claims to have a couple when I called. I'm not sure if its just the screen protector or the full body shield.
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:

[HTC EVO 3D] Xencer:
oh my god you're one of THEM! *shudders*
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Ummm how i do not see where zagg has made 1 for the evo 3d yet? and how before you even get it?
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
They are mixing up the evo 4g with the 3d because Zagg has NOT made a shield of any kind for the 3d
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Love how zagg looks hate how tacky it feels. Their replacement and warranty is absolutely the best though. They are a top notch company in my book.

Has anyone tried WidgetLocker Lockscreen on Sensation? The only reason I'm interested in it is to be able to unlock the phone with the volume rocker keys as an alternative to the power button every time. If anyone has any other apps they've done this with please pass it on.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlana:
I was running a tricked-out (rooted [gingerbreak], tetherable, MIFI-hub enabled, sideloading, webtop-via-HDMI-only and others) Atrinx with Android v2.2.1 and Atrix build OLYFR_U4_1.5.7.

Everytime i tried updating to the next OTA update, the updater was always saying "updater not available - try again later".

I did a hardreset, now the update's pouring in. To the point that they are "forced" automatically in the background and automatically restarting the phone to "force update" my Atrix.

But then it gets stuck while trying to update it. (see pic)

then I have to hit the [OK] button a few times for the dotted line to continue for a reboot.

any ideas whats going on ? I highly would appreciate any help how to fix this.
