[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Just picked mine up from the Sprint store. It's fantastic. It feels durable, has a removable slot sizing piece so it can accommodate phones with cases, and it comes with a disc for dash mounting if you don't want to window mount it. I love it!
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Is this the official one made by HTC? Like the official one for the EVO 4G?
[HTC EVO 3D] mario23:
Yeah it is. I saw it today when I picked my phone.

It's really nice. I held off for now though. I've already bought like three cases and want to get a nice sd card...it adds up ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Bukem75:
Think an Otterbox Commuter would fit in there once the insert is removed... and still charge the phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] nunyabiziz:
Yes I will fit and charge the phone too
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
no Otter box will fit in this car dock, the body glove case is too big it barely goes in at all and it's thinner than the Otterbox defender and commuter by a long shot.

The ones sprint are selling doesn't have the adjustment knob to adjust the mount up and down, it only has the tilt ball adjustment. On Igrips web site theirs shows an adjustment knob at the top of the arm to tilt it up and down and sprints have identical clips on both sides with no knob, making it a bit difficult to get it exactly where you want it
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
No it's made by iGrip, not HTC. Just picked it up in the store. I'ts not like the HTC Evo 4G dock at all. This still seems nice though and about $20 cheaper if I remember correctly.

From the bottom of the box

Sunction mount and vehicle disc made in Germany

Vehicle Dock made in china.

Customer Support: iGRIP Global LLC info@igrip.us

http://www.igrip.us/ Here it is on their page. The mount itself is seperate from the part that holds the phone so in theory for your next phone you could just buy the phone holder and pay less.

Edit: it does put it into car mode though.
[HTC EVO 3D] derschlub:
The Commuter kinda fits.. if you press down it will charge, but it won't stay that way, you also need to remove the soft USB cover (fine by me)..

It's so close to fitting perfectly I think I'm just gonna dremel it a bit at work on Monday..
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I have seen some people saying HTC is still considering their policy on their bootloaders even after they announced they will unlock it. Motorola is pushing out unlocked bootloaders as we speak.

If we do not keep pressuring HTC to release this update it will get put off for a long time... Let's keep the fire lit under them by continuing to post on their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/HTC

Also remember to keep this petition alive: http://www.groubal.com/htc-bootloaders-and-nand/

I know they have already promised this to us, but we need to make sure they are going to follow up on it instead of just telling us what we want to hear to shut us up. Remember to please be professional and mature when voicing your opinion. Let's keep the attention drawn to this issue before it gets moved to the back burner. Their facebook is a great way to maintain awareness about this. Viva la resistance!
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
Just wrote on their wall :)

HTC EVO = my best friend
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Who are these people?
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Some people have said they have received this email from HTC, they posted it on HTC's facebook page.

This is What an HTC Representative emailed me :

I understand that you are wondering when the Sensation will have its boot loader unlocked. We’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative. We currently don’t have information regarding which existing phones will be unlocked, though as it was part of the initial outcry it seems likely (I don’t have any solid information I can confirm because the policy is still being somewhat reviewed internally. Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked and when.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Just stay out of the dev section bugging them when will it be rooted, I think its very rude and not helping the cause at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Thought more people would care about this...
[HTC EVO 3D] clark44:
I just posted on their wall. Everyone do the same
[HTC EVO 3D] sfasu77:
I'm not buying this phone until S-off has been achieved. A fast phone with no root isn't an upgrade from a CM7'd Evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
People are lighting there wall up LOL

Bussin Caps from my 3D shooter
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Persistence is key!
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Stupid HTC! I want my mind to be free. Hate having to worry about the BOOTLOADERS.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Looks like HTC is now saying they never said they would unlock the EVO 3D, they said they would unlock FUTURE devices... Several people got that email in the S-Off thread in the dev section.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Source?

10
[HTC EVO 3D] weidnerj:
Think that statement if true is B.S. When HTC made that announcement to not lock the bootloaders, the EVO 3D was a future phone. And I would almost say false information to deceive us into buying it with the belief that the bootloader would be unlocked by HTC.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigjim1488:
Well this is troubling. I wont bother picking up the 3d until it's unlocked. I love my free hot spot too much to give it up
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
Several e-mails from HTC to certain members on the S-Off thread in the dev section.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Ah hell. If they do retract their claim, I'm taking this back.
[HTC EVO 3D] mynigman:
werd. i havent even activated it cause i need my free tether. thats the source to my simple mobile $40 unltd talk/text white iphone 4's smoking unltd 4g wifi connection, which compliments my white evo so well........:confused::confused: yeah this locked pos is going back. photon anyone??:rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
I'll take a locked EVO 3D before I buy something from Motorola. If anything will make me switch it's the SGS2, as long as it doesn't have a keyboard.
[HTC EVO 3D] cheflarry:
Using the hotspot is a big reason it is not unlocked. The carriers want more of your money. Speed and battery life need to be the reasons.
[HTC EVO 3D] fmedina2:
We will be able to use free wireless tether with a locked bootloader, however we will not be able to use custom ROM's.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
I kinda figured this was an unspoken thing among us....but sure as **** it's blasted all over their Facebook, further hurting our chances....

*sigh*...it's gunna suck bringing this phone back

[Optimus One, P500, V General] CarreoJ:
Anyone encountering issues using Miks ROM using MOBO player?? It was recommended on his thread (use MOBO player) but somehow every time I use it to play divx /xvid videos I'm just getting an audio with no video. No issue's with other file format though.

***By the way I'm using 6.5.4 the stable one Franco's latest kernel v17 BFS

Anyone of you guys recommend other player aside from MOBO. I tried to use YX player but its not compatible with Miks ROM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ppraveen576:
Try to force kill mob player

And play the divx movies

I am using that since from 3months with milk os

This will be fine

Otherwise reboot the phone
[Optimus One, P500, V General] CarreoJ:
Thanks! I will try that see if it works.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4eva:
Man you sure do whine a lot. First about your bike accident, which I'm more than willing to bet was your fault and now about this.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Not my fault; couldn't have been my fault, so STFU.

You try living with 3G speeds half the speed of dial up, in fact, cancel your home internet and sign up for Netzero's dialup because I'm sure it'll save you a few bucks a month; I hear they even have a free dial-up optimizer that gets you an extra kbps or two.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
just ignore the troll dude he is a n00b hope they give you a response will watch for one from you to see what they say and sorry about the wreak man!
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I'm actually curious as to what the response will be.
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
Wow. Lol. That's all the input you have to give back?

Anyway, I'd like to see what the response is also. I had problems for about 2 months and after about 20-30 phone calls they came out and fixed the towers and haven't had any problems anymore. Hope it works out for you!

I hope your stay at xda is a short one.
[EVO 4G General] zeau2004:
SMH!!
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
Color me unimpressed with 3G speeds, too. Though this is my first 3G capable phone, so I don't really have anything to compare it to.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
:eek: i am shocked that its your first must have really liked the old one :p lol
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
My old phone was a Chinese copy of an HTC Touch 3G... but without the 3G. It was a fairly decent phone as far as Windows Mobile 6.1 phones go. I still use it at the gym as an MP3 player with a set of Sennheiser MM100 bluetooth stereo headphones because its A2DP music quality is far superior to my Evo. Before that I only had flip phones. I was on T-Mobile then.

The Evo, of course, outshines the old phone in every other way. It's a bonafide, pocket-sized Android tablet.
[EVO 4G General] spencer88:
I too, want to know what the response will be. Please update this thread when you receive a response.
[EVO 4G General] anthonyandrews:
my 3g speeds have sucked every from Sacremento in the north, san diego in the south, tucson in the east, and all along the western coast from San Diego to Monterrey.

WHere did I get a good speed? Anytime I roam on the verizon network, and anytime I am in Mexico......Yes, it works great in Tijuana, Rosarito, Ensenada...

This latest update seems like it helped fix my speed though. Its still not the best, but hey I last checked in Tucson (yuck) and will check several locations between here an Los Angeles as I drive towards home!

[EVO 4G General] Sunsparc:
As soon as you used the word "bull****", you invalidated the entire email.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
IMHO, you will probably get a canned response with no followup. The wording and flow of your message was more akin to what a kid would send in. But good luck, I hope you do get a real response, along with some satisfaction.
[EVO 4G General] sog1971:
Here is a first draft of mine:

Dear Dan,

How you doin' ? Could you check around and see what it would take for me to get a 3G connection that is fast enough so that I can still listen to my 64 kb music stream for the 15 minute walk to and from the office to the car (once the office wi-fi drops is out of range)? I know that 3G is supposed to be 600 - 1200 kbps....I am not asking very much. Would settle for 200 kbps......or even a consistent 150...wink wink

Signed,

Stuck on 28 kbps (32 on a good day) in downtown Omaha.
[EVO 4G General] waterbound:
True that..or they have a spam-bot or proxy filter which threw it into the trash, never to be read just because of the last curseword. Good luck
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
actually hrshycro, all trolling aside, i could offer some real constructive suggestions on how to engage some corporate behemoth in hopes of making the world a better place, but i think i would just summarize my remarks on this particular effort with

- TLDR

and

- you live in a northern tier state. sprint has already pulled out of all their money-losing partnering agreements in MT, ND and WY. they have made a business decision about your part of the country. your letter may be swimming against a very large tide of dollars.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
Really Nx?

So then ,why are the speeds so low in the Midwest that I can't even try to tether, because web pages just never load?
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
I think we're in agreement? Just sayin Sprint may not have plans to build out their network much more in Idaho.
[HTC EVO 3D] teddat:
Commenting on just these categories:

Fit and finish. Pretty much solid and well built. Though its measured as roughly the same weight because of its narrower feel, to me its a tad bit heavier just because the device feels smaller in the hands. The word Density comes to mind.

Battery. Overall its much better than my evo 4G. With similar location, usage and brightness I'm getting a full day's of use and then some. I'll still get a backup battery for emergencies but I'm glad its outlasting the OG Evo.

3D. Its nifty, works decently. I wouldn't use it all that much but its nice that its there to use and show.

Screen. I read alot and the AMOLED+ and pentile LCD display types are the screens I prefer not to have. I'm glad HTC went with SLCD. Sure its not eye popping colors but to me the colors look accurate and sharp and not over saturated. Text is crisper and easier on the eyes. If you've tried to read for a long time on a AMOLED screen, eyes get kinda tired. The iphone4's IPS display is to me the best all around. Other than that, visibility inside outside has been great. nothing unexpected and usable in all but the brightest sunlight.

What I would change:

Camera 3D/2D switch is loose. Both camera button and switch is made of metal and is high quality but the rattling takes it down a bit. Once ifixit posts their tear down, I'd like to see if I can put a tiny piece of electrical tape between the outside switch and the inner electrical switch to make it not rattle.

The menu buttons are super sensitive, quick brush and the key gets activated. The power button is also sensitive. I've accidentally powered on or off the device just holding it and especially handing it to people to hold. If there was a way to turn down or detune the sensitivity of atleast the capacitive buttons, I'd pay for that "its a feature, not a bug"

The menu buttons are very bright at night even when the screen is dimmed all the way and never turns off while screen is on.

Don't get me wrong, its a high end phone worthy to represent the best of Android/HTC and I will use and enjoy this phone even more than my mogul, TP, TP2, Pre, and Evo 4G that came before it.

This thread is meant to foster comments on your own experiences. Comment accordingly. Now back to playing with the phone :)
[HTC EVO 3D] archtech3d:
Get an Otter Box from the Sprint store (or wherever cheaper). It covers the camera button perfectly so it doesn't feel so fragile. The 2d/3d toggle can be hard to switch tho... Amazing case for an amazing phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:
Love that its like a droid incredible it looks so much smexier than the evo 4g its nice and skinny!

love the screen and over sense 3.0 is AMAZING love this phone and I'm actually comfortable keeping it stock and not really clamoring to flash something new, maybe in a month but right now very happy!

3D is cool!! but i feel like my eyes get all googly for over 3D minutes after i use the feature

also! love the battery life!
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
I agree, been running CM for so long, it will be nice and refreshing to go back to sense for a while.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
I pretty much agree. Also:

- The Power/Sleep button is too soft to the press. Sometimes the screen will turn on in my pocket or I'll bring up the power menu by accident with very little effort.

- By default, LED Notifications were all unchecked for me. They should set them on by default (kind of odd that they didn't).

- Make the icons for the included apps high-resolution. ie People and Messaging, when placed on the homescreen, look blurry and low-res.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I love this phone. But, being rooted has spoiled me and I'm dying without it.

Also, HTC Sense launcher doesn't scroll wallpapers: fail
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Forgot to add that. 10000000% agree.
[HTC EVO 3D] Los Altos:
Yes, the power button is Waaay to sensitive, even sliding your finger across the top of the phone will activate it. Simply touching the button will turn off the screen, pressing it will power it off. Taking off the cover causes the power button to activate often.
[HTC EVO 3D] codyisnottanner:
You might have a bad EVO cuz my camera switch button is extremely solid and has no rattle at all
[HTC EVO 3D] irev210:
It's funny because my power button is very stiff, and very flush with the case. Pretty much impossible to accidentally turn on.
[HTC EVO 3D] alex800:
Same here. Kind of PITA to press it....
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Battery life much better the 2nd day. Looks like it will get close to lasting as my 3500 extended....
[HTC EVO 3D] jshields1986:
i agree with this, mine is pretty solid, but i did get a skin for it and makes it a bit challenging to turn it on from the front
[HTC EVO 3D] elas123:
My power button is exactly like the evo 4g
[HTC EVO 3D] thefivetheory:
My power button is also really sensitive. I did notice a small difference though after removing the back cover, fiddling with the switch a bit, and then putting it back on. It's no longer quite so sensitive.
[HTC EVO 3D] BrianBaker:
same here,I have to actually press the button to get the screen on
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Battery life for today is 8 hours! Boooo
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
Yeah I have the same thing going on... I will say though my screen on time is much longer than the Evo. So I will guess that when I am not messing with it all day the battery will be better.
[HTC EVO 3D] luckyzac:
Why is that a Boo...
[HTC EVO 3D] bbedward:
- My power button is fairly stiff too. About perfect IMO.

- Feels more solid than the evo 4g IMO

- Battery life is pretty good, surprisingly. Way better than the reviews made it out to be. And i've been using 4g a lot.

- I've had no problem with call quality or data connection. Just as good as my old evo so far. Not like some of the reviews made it out to be, my calls have been very clear, probably clearer than my old evo too.

- Screen is very nice compared to the original evo

- Bottom buttons are A LOT brighter than the evo, honestly wish theyd be a little dimmer.

- 3d works better than most reviews led me to believe. I had a really hard time focusing on the pre-loaded 3d pictures. But my self-taken pictures, videos, spider man, and the movie all looked good in 3d and i had no problem focusing. The pre-loaded ones were giving me a headache for some reason.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flip35:
I love the screen. Resolution a lot, the fact that it has a lot of Widgets is nice n is much more snappy so I guess that dual core is really nice...I miss being rooted with cm7 a lot but I can just imagine when they finally get this beast rooted with cm is gonna b the bomb...but I loooove this phone
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
I fixed my power button so it's somewhat stiffer, but not too stiff.

Take the back cover off and press the button on the phone (not the case on and off a few times). Then press the button on the back cover down a few times and then, from the inside of the back cover, push it outwards. It should be better when you put it back on.

Here's another thing I've been meaning to ask. My Rosie launcher isn't clear; it's just black like on Sense 1.0/2.0/2.1. Anyone else have that?
[HTC EVO 3D] dwntwnall4u:
I'm not sure I like the screen size. It seems so small compared the the OG EVO.

3D movie looks alot better than I thought it would. The volume of in call with headphones is much better than the OG.

This phone is very smooth and fast.

Battery life is awsome for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] jmcioc:
When u replace the battery door u need to make sure the button is not bent. I did the same thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingcliff00:
everything so far is pretty good only one thing that bothers me is i dont think the speaker is as loud as the OG evo was.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Well I'm use to my EVO lasting till I get home and then some.

I did use an extended battery though. I just don't want to use an extended on the 3D. I like the size as is.
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
Mine is, and it's much higher quality. There's a lot more depth and bass that you can actually hear. The speaker is definitely miles ahead of the Evo's, but the headset is murky when I'm on calls compared to the Evo.
[HTC EVO 3D] tweston1:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorGeee:
Hi all,

A work college recently purchased a SGS2 and has a weird issue with his brightness as shown in the YouTube video link

Link is on YouTube ->

youtube.com/watch?v=WuDSE8Vka9c

Basically the screen flickers when it dims (after 30 seconds of inactivity) and also when changing the brightness levels on both manual and automatic modes.

Using the phone is fine everything else works fine, its just an annoying thing to see a brand new out-of-the-box phone with a problem like this.

He is currently running the following

Baseband Version

I9100XXKE4

Kernal Version

2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725 - root (at) DELL103 #2

Build Number

GINGERBREAD.XWKE7

PDA

I9100XWKE7

Phone

I9100XXKE4

CSC

I9100OXFKE1

Any ideas of what could be causing this issue? hardware/software? could his phone be faulty?

Thanks in advanced
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFreud:
I had this exact same problem too but I found that turning off automatic brightness, setting it manually and restarting the phone got rid of it for me. Not sure if this is the same problem for you. Hopefully this helps.

-AndroidFreud.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GorGeee:
Sweet ill get him to try that. I also suggested trying to use a different launcher such as LauncherPro or ADW it may be his theme? :-/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFreud:
Cool. I'm using Launcher Pro by the way. But if I remember correctly I sorted the issue out using the above method on the default out of the box UI.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droid_does:
I'm planning to get a transformer for school for note taking and such. I've noticed that some people said they've gotten keyboard lag when typing

Does anybody have keyboard lag and if you do.....would/ does it affect your time to finish typing up a report or anything?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MurfsHTC:
Yea. There's some lag. It doesn't affect me much. I wouldn't let this sway your decision on picking this bad boy up :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droid_does:
is it only sometimes or does it happen all the time?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mskip:
I "sometimes" get a keyboard lag when using the stock internet browser but when typing documents using Polaris Office I have absolutely no problems at all and it keeps up with my mediocre typing ability.

Using other browsers I havent had any lag so im not sure if its a bug with Honeycomb and if it is then it should be fixed in future updates so I wouldnt let any reports of keyboard lags affect your decision to buy the TF. There isnt another Tablet or laptop I would choose over this right now.

Hope this helps your decision making :)

Mark.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ad1980:
Meh

I only used Polaris a time or two to check it out and haven't found any issues with keyboard lag there. However, it's fairly common using the browser (take your pick which oe, they all seem to do it to me). There's also been occasions where I was not able to use the backspace key and had to reload the page to regain that functionality. It's lagging a bit as I type this right now. Having said that, it's not missing any key presses; there's just a small delay between typing and text appearing.

Having said that I would be mindful of the battery drain issues that the device experiences when docked. Leaving it docked as I imagine you'd be likely to do carryig it around for school, will take a noticable toll on your overall battery life.
