[HTC EVO 3D] tx_dbs_tx:
My single biggest complaint is terrible signal. It fluctuates bad and doesn't pull as good of signal as my previous EVO 4G. It really is bad. My wife went and bought her an EVO 3D tonight and it does the same thing. At our home we get terrible service but still we got a stable signal with our original EVO's. We have no choice but to return both 3D's and go back to our EVO 4G's that get better signal everywhere we go.

My second big complaint is the external speaker. It literally sucks compared to the original EVO 4G. I can barely hear my phone ring when on the maximum volume. On the other hand the earpiece speaker is much louder and clearer compared to the EVO 4G. That was noticed immediately as soon as I made my very first call. That was a very big improvement.

So bottom line is terrible signal strength compared to the original EVO 4G. This is my experience where I live.

I have the right to complain, *****, whine, stomp my feet etc. About anything I spend my money on bruh! Sprint has it for $550.00 best buy its $699.00 you must be out your damn mind if you spend that kind of cheese on anything and it starts acting up and don't say nothing

Inconsistent

First week i got it (got it on release date), it froze a couple of times on me. 4 bottom buttons were lit, and i could tell the screen was kind of on, but was black. Happened to me a few times since then.

Volume seems to be quite low. Speakers crackle easily. hurts my ears.

Battery life seems to be all over the place. I close the apps by pressing the back button till i hit the home screen (read online that's the best way, and a sprint rep told me that), but the battery life is incredibly flaky. Sometimes i'll get 2 days with a small amount left, and sometimes i'll charge it at midnight when i sleep, with apps exited, only wifi/3g going (not 4g or gps settings) and when i wake up, my battery will be at ~70%.

i had an iphone before (not an iphone fanboy by an means), but i never really had battery issues. I don't know how exactly ios managed apps, but it was pretty good battery-management wise

I wonder if HTC even recognizes the issue with the call/signal quality on this phone. I wish I knew what things they considered an issue for sure. I should have returned this phone within my 30 day window but I was travelling at the time and blew it.
[HTC EVO 3D] brandonkahn:
Everything is great with this phone for me except ive had it do the black screen/can tell its on.. buttons lit.. but strangly mine never freezes, i can just hit the power button and the screen comes on. Def software related so hopefully htc will figure it out
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
How did you get out of the black screen thing? Mine would black screen and the buttons would light and after pulling the battery, it would only get halfway through boot up.
[HTC EVO 3D] brownhornet:
Usually ill just play around with mine for a while.. like ill keep doing the power button on and off and eventually ill get to the lock screen. Then ill keep dragging apps into the ring.. usually the text message one will work and ill just back out and ill take me back to the homescreen. Annoying as hell but it works.

Mine has decided to have a complete melt down recently . I have even unrooted and return to stock form . Muffled sounding calls according to some who i call , I sometimes reboot my phone and it never comes back on stays off unless I pull the battery . Had it lock up three times , low speaker volume (but eveyone says that) . Poor reception in my house compared to the Evo 4G . Ironically I never had a single issue with the Evo 4G , this thing is just a pain in the @$$ as of recently .

My signal has been find after I disabled roaming but the Speaker on this phone is close to useless at times. If there is any background noise whatsoever you can't hear anything.

First time I played a song through it I thought it was a piezo speaker or something lol.... but for real, I hope it's not :/

Interesting - I'm not sure if that will be a fix for me or not but it is strange that my old HTC phone on Sprint didn't have this issue with roaming enabled.
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
I tried setting it to Sprint only. That doesn't help me with going from full bars to no signal to working again. I haven't bothered to leave it on that setting long enough to see if that helps with the garbled voice quality but in my case it didn't help with the signal connectivity issue. I have the latest PRL.

2) It has yet to perfect cooking my eggs in the morning

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with my EVO :P
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
I tried the Sprint only that didn't help. Isn't the phone CDMA only already?
[HTC EVO 3D] blu3poptart:
Correct. The phone has a CDMA/GSM radio but the GSM radio is disabled. Has anyone experienced this? When my screen dims (right before I times out), the capacitive buttons dim as well and when I touch the screen, they brighten up again. It almost seems like a flicker and its not so much of a problem but its a small annoyance xD

It hasn't actually been a problem for me, but I have noticed that a number of people are having an issue with the keyboard inputting the correct characters.

Example:

the letter E, when pressed, getting inadvertently replaced by the number 3, as well the replacement of the letter A by the number 4....

-as evidenced here:

DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R, 3VO, FR3EVO, FR33DOM....

Very Strange.

This may actually be a simple fix: perhaps a cache, dalvik cache wipe after a reinstall of the HTC_IME.APK would fix it?

[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
No WAD needed. Add a line for the SGS2. Cancel your line for the EVO 3D which would be $200. You can find the SGS2 between $79.99 and $149.99. Sell the 3D and you should be able to break even or close to it.......
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
I'm not following. I need to keep my phone number. If I already have a new account with Sprint. I believe I'd have to pay an ETF with Sprint of about $300. If I switch to the new line, I need to transfer the number, pay the ETF. Wouldn't it work out the same if I just buy a new phone and sell my old phone?

thats the main reason why I'm running the stock bell rom. I want to be able to return to stock should I need to with ease.

Plus the device is really very good out of the box, I just but ADW EX on for customizing it and that was it.
[Galaxy S II General] SndChsr:
Thanks for the reply guys. I'm a total noob to this. How would I know if I'm even running a different Rom other than stock? In order to unlock my device I had to root it. Does rooting install a new Rom or does it just give admin privileges?

If I was with Bell then this wouldn't be an issue, though I'd still want my device unlocked. The reason I'm asking is coz that yellow triangle at boot drives me crazy.

Any ideas when the stock Rom will be available?

Thanks for the help.

ps. So far this phone absolutely rocks. Not too crazy with the batter life, but they can't all be perfect can they :)

Rooting only gives you root privileges, installing a different ROM is a separate endeavour.

Same problem happened with my P500 today.. I resolved it by flashing KDZ through Emergency mode.

There was no other way. The "fastboot erase recovery" command would stop at "waiting for devices".

Hope so, u resolved the problem since its long back this thread was posted.

If u are still stuck at fastboot mode and no other method works.. Then, kdz may be only way if Emergency Mode can be accessed.

[HTC EVO 3D] jedinegotiator:
I have a lot of questions about this stuff. If someone knowledgeable could quote each one and answer them it would be very much appreciated.

1. Currently I am S-Off via Revolutionary but I am not yet rooted and I havent flashed a recovery tool such as Clock work or Team Win. All I have done so far is got S-Off. What is my next step?

2. On the OG evo you just held the volume down and power button to get to the screen where you can flash roms and stuff. How do you get to it on the 3D? I havent flashed Team Win yet it that why it isnt working?

3. What exactly is the difference between S-Off and root? I thought S-Off meant you were rooted and could flash roms etc. What does root do for you that S-Off does not?

4. What do I need to back up? I didnt think of backing up before I got S-Off. Is that ok? What do I need to do to make sure that I can make my phone like it was out of the box with S-On if I need to? Should I Nandroid backup before I root? Was I supposed to back up before I got S-Off?

5. Are there any good Roms out yet? What are the best things I can do once I am rooted?

That is all for now thank you so much!

I am nowhere near the level user you need but I will try a few;1.

Download titanium backup, and do a nandroid backup.(after recovery.)

[HTC EVO 3D] BDawgTrap:
1. Your next step would be to flash the recovery (twrp is a good option) through fastboot, and then run the permanent root.

2. volume down and power button will get you to hboot. from there (once you have flashed a custom recovery (twrp or clockworkmod) you just scroll to recovery, select it, and it will load up. and yes it isnt working because you havent flashed it yet.

3. S-off is security off on the write protected partitions of the phone basically. it allows you to flash custom recoveries, roms, kernals, etc. Its a lot deeper than than, but thats the gist of it. Root will allow you to run certain apps on your phone and give them heightened privileges.

4. there isnt really much you can back up before s-off. other than temp rooting and doing titanium backup for your apps. thats fine that you didnt do anything but there isnt a way to backup s-on. you can get back to s-on but it sounds like it is pretty complicated. i havent personally tried s-on again yet because i have no interest in having s-on haha. you can nandroid backup before you root, but i personally did it after root.

5. there are a few roms out, but if your not a flashaholic i would wait for a few days or a couple weeks for the roms to be refined. in the meantime just enjoy tweaking your device and not having to re-root every time your phone reboots haha.

Let me know if you have any more questions! :)
