[HTC EVO 3D] Zorachus:
lol, this is the age old question for tech :rolleyes: Buy something that just came out, or wait for something better coming out later :rolleyes:

If you go with the attitude to wait, then why not wait forever and get nothing :p I mean lets say you hold off on the EVO-3D, and wait for the slightly better Galaxy S2, but don't get that the Nexus-4.0 will be even better than the Galaxy S2, but wait, the Nexus-4.0 will be trumped by the best yet Galaxy S3 due next spring per Samsung, but wait the Galaxy S3 will be outdone by the EVO-Three.

What if while waiting for the next best thing, you get killed in a car wreck tomorrow, thus never enjoying the cool tech we have right here, right now.

Oh yeah, the words "Future Proof" lol :rolleyes: uh no such thing...
[HTC EVO 3D] WeatherTech:
To the OP -

What people have said in this thread makes perfect sense. If you wait for THOSE phones there will be even better ones around the corner in the future too. So you would simply be right back in the same situation.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
I can see the 3vo being the 2nd legit 22 month phone. the og Evo being the 1st.

Like others have said you can't keep waiting or you'll never get. As for a 1.4 dual. Meh what's it really going to do that your 1.2's can't do? well outside of increase your penis size in a pissing match. Heck thats about all the quad cores are going to do too.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
phones are advancing too fast. there is hardly anything out there that will take full advantage of the dual core phones. i think getting the 3vo would be fine because it will take a bit before developers catch up with it and by then you'll be due for an upgrade. ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] us3rm3:
will be returning evo 3D. Its no diff from EVO 4G besides the 3D and the dual core. waiting for samsung gs2 or Motorola Photon.
[HTC EVO 3D] rrsweet:
:confused::confused::confused:

So outside of the crappy Skin Moto and Samy put over android what different are you expecting?
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Yeah the QHD screen, the better form factor on the body of the phone, double the ram, 4 times the internal storage (this will matter a lot more when we have root and custom roms), the actual camera button, the newer build, second microphone for noise cancelling. You're right the Evo 4G had all of those.
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
only thing thats making me more and more want to return the phone is..

its not that I don't believe HTC will unlock the phone...

its how many good Dev's are we losing in the meantime?
[HTC EVO 3D] BlueGoldAce:
We are not loosing many.

Fresh, myn, and deck already have the phone. I am sure others do too.

Seriously...it has only been 3 days since the release.
[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
I'm keeping this phone for aleast 2 years through the contract. It will definitely last 3 though. I will probably just keep it stock for the first year and then I'll root when I feel Sprint is leaving us behind. LIKE THEY DID WITH MY HTC HERO ONE OF THE FIRST ANDROIDS IN THE US!!!!!! Yes, im venting :-) Then I'll get the next EVO or Nexus.

[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
Google at their last conference announced that manufacturers including HTC were making 18 month commitments to their phones. So for 18 months they will keep their phones updated.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holiday29:
:( I was using my mytouch 4g rooted and everything running the virtuous fusion rom when it shut off. When I tried to reboot the phone but it just went to the mytouch 4g screen and froze. I took the battery out and tried again several times but the same result was the phone being stuck at the mytouch 4g logo. I can get into the recovery but when I try to boot the rom up again it just says installation aborted. I also tried to run another rom (RoyalGinger) but it still froze at the mytouch 4g logo. I am very nervous, is my phone bricked?

Thank you for any answers possible,

Justin
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Are you getting cache errors in recovery? Try wiping the cache partition for example, and see if that completes successfully. If you get the typical cache errors, that means your eMMC has failed and unfortunately the phone is indeed bricked.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bochocinco23:
Post your bootloader info please, that might help solve this

Lol so who is having the problem mohammed? You or holiday? Need to know what's going on with you phone?

I have the same problem with the phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Cache errors?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjybarr:
I too am having cache errors....any solution to fix the issue? I cant flash anything, but I can get into fastboot just fine.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bochocinco23:
Teejay - question for you since I have read alot of your posts concerning cache errors....in mohammeds case, since he does have the engineering bootloader, cant he use fastboot to flash the stock pd15img.zip and get rid of cache errors? As long as he does not have fail pu? I believe I read of members successfully doing that in the emmc thread....It seems logical to be able to do that, reroot, and reflash cwm recovery but i could be wrong...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That's the only solution, but unfortunately in most cases it has not worked. Sometimes they get the "Fail-PU" error when flashing PD15IMG, and sometimes even though it seems to flash successfully, the phone still bootloops and produces cache errors in recovery. I think I've read only one or two accounts of the phone becoming usable again once those cache errors appear in recovery. However, I've read probably a dozen or more accounts of nothing working.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohamed_moscow:
I have PU-failed
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Yeah sorry man, but there's no hope at that point.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyz182:
I am having the same issue. I loaded Beast Version 4 on mine. It was working fine and then it froze. I pulled the battery put it back in powered it on and it booted to the loading screen for the ROM (Green Android guy) I then pulled the battery again. Booted and it froze at the MT4G screen. So I botted into the Hboot. I run the wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. Which both say success (Data Wife Complete,Cache Wipe Complete) and then its like it is trying to run recovery but it says:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/log

E: Cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/last_log

Is this the cache errors you were talking about? Also when I tried to re-inatll the ROM it gives me an error but when I try re-loading Royal Ginger it loads it fine no errors.. Until I try to go back to previous screen to reboot then I get the error as seen above. I reboot and then it stops again at the MT4G splash screen. Am I bricked.. or is there fix for this. And if so is it the one listed above or is my issue slightly different.

Please help - Crossed Fingers.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I'm sorry, I know it sucks, but the phone is bricked. You can try restoring back to stock using this thread. Rename that file to PD15IMG.zip, put it in the root of your SD, and boot into the bootloader. If the file flashes successfully, there might be hope, but if you get the Fail-PU error, then it's definitely done.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyz182:
OK thank you for your help. Crossing fingers but betting I am finicio :-(

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I'm fairly sure that the file in this thread is the same file, and appears to be still available for download. Give that one a try.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyz182:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holiday29:
Yeah did any of you use the Gfree method of rooting? Because that's the one

I used.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coppo:
There is a thread floating around here somewhere with a poll of everyone who had pu fail and what method they used and I think everyone was /Gfree
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I've made mention of this before. But i guess it gets over seen alot.

Our phones eMMC chips have two different serial number. Indicating they were either made by two different companies or two different plants. One of them is a known "good" chip the other is a known "bad" chip.

The root.sh method will only root the phones that have Good Chip sets. They will not root phones with the bad chips. So if you cannot use the root.sh method to root your phone, you might as well stop where you are. and either just use VISIONary to root on boot, or exchange the phone.

the ./gfree method will root phone regardless of the chipset. So even if you have a bad chip it'll still root it. At that point the phone becomes a ticking time bomb. It's just a matter of time before it goes KA BOOM. Now there are some precautions you can take to help make sure that doesn't happen but it's not fool proof. But on the same token their are know good chips that have KABOOMED as well.

Do anyone have a problem with lines going through widgets
[HTC EVO 3D] dbolot1:
I had it too one time but reboot fixed everything, haven't had the lines since.
[HTC EVO 3D] DozeBeatS:
Ive had the lines, rebooted and everything was fine. They came back again 2 days later, rebooted again, havent seen em since.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheXenocide:
+1

Once, rebooted, never since.
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
It will occasionally come back. Seems to be related to using 3d then switching.

i'd expect we'll see a fix from HTC soon enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] rugedraw:
Happened to me once, and rebooting did nothing. I had to remove every widget from my home screens and put them back on to fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] tenshino:
Had the same problem started last night with just one widget. By today it was two. I had tried rebooting, but didn't seem to fix the problem. Removed the two widgets and immediately put the back. 3+ hours and so far so good.

We'll see. Hopefully this isn't going to be an ongoing thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] SolsticeZero:
Out of curiosity, do you have widgets from the HTC hub installed? I noticed my "word of the day" widget isn't properly sized when I fling the carousel, but it resizes itself when I go to it. I'm thinking it might be a resolution glitch because they haven't optimized certain widgets for the 960x540 screen? Just a thought.
[HTC EVO 3D] tenshino:
The two widgets I was seeing the problem on was the "Post" widget for TweekDeck and my Astrid Task widget. I've installed a couple of widgets from the HTC hub, playing around, but I don't have any of them active on the screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] G_Dmaxx:
Let me tell you people...I had them bad, almost returned this thing because of it but in the back of my head I knew it was a software issue that would be fixed (either by HTC or an XDA developer.) I would get them, I would remove and replace the widget and they would eventually come back in a day or two.

Until, I temp rooted, hulu and overclocked, then I did a Zone skin, boom, problem solved! Don't ask me how, but ran for a week and no widget lines...actually lost ROOT today due to a dead battery, fired the phone up and there they were again!! ReRooted and they were gone, so my suspicions are that the HTC skins are the culprit because mine first started when I setup that blue-green HTC skin. Hope that helps.

Actually surprised this hasnt been discussed more, I noticed just a few people talked about it but no real solution.
[HTC EVO 3D] dresr82:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yopete525:
I'm wondering if it's possible to modify the "buffer" between when touch input is detected on a list, and when the list actually begins to move when you scroll. Some discussion from back in December of last year on Romain Guy's blog can be found here: http://www.curious-creature.org/2010/12/02/android-graphics-animations-and-tips-tricks/

A few of the relevant comments:

Kleptine says:

December 4, 2010 at 1:19 pm

@Jay/Kristoffer

It seems to me that one of the more blatant scrolling inefficiencies is the fact that it take a couple hundred milliseconds to detect the scroll action after pressing the ListView. It’s fairly apparent on my Nexus One.

to which Romain Guy responds:

Romain Guy says:

December 5, 2010 at 12:49 am

@Kleptine: this was of course tested with users, and the threshold value was chosen based on the “noise” introduced by simply touching the screen.

The meaning of Romain Guy's comment about the "noise" introduced is unclear to me, but I'm wondering if it's possible to reduce the amount of the buffer for a more immediate response to scrolling on our Incredibles, whether through a pre-compilation modification of the code or even once we've got a ROM up and running.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Perhaps the 'noise' is simply the time at which point your finger makes contact with the glass?

¦*¦HYBRID¦*¦SPEED¦*¦ by ws83
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wdfowty:
Well, to my best recollection, noise in a photograph is unwanted fuzz/haze. Might mean the same here, meaning that the threshold chosen is to weed out any unwanted/accidental touch input.

Don't take my word for it, been wrong before. Lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yopete525:
Right, but I'd like to know if we can experiment with reducing that buffer and seeing how it effects overall performance--WP7 and iOS track finger motion noticeably closer on the screen without causing unwanted touch input. Whether that's due to something else in the code, like precautionary measures that allow for this higher sensitivity without causing other issues, I'm not sure.
