[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatininbed:
So I switched from CM7 to GRP (which is essentially CM7, just green- to the best of my knowledge)

and now whenever I try and longpress the smiley button (in Swiftkey X or the stock KB) i have to keep my finger on the screen and slide it to the icon I want. It used to stay open while I hadn't decided on the smiley I wanted.

I use handcent for my texts, but this problem also persists within the stock app as well. It started when I was running the latest stable release of CM7 (i believe 7.1.0) so I switched to GRP to see if it was the rom crapping out on me (it wasn't).

I also took off the screen protector I had (maybe I had some dirt underneath it that cause the problem), which didn't change anything. I also clean the screen often (so lingering finger oils aren't the problem either).

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Think Swift key did an update, mine used to do like you've seen, now I must long press. Don't think it's ROM related.
[HTC EVO 3D] UKseagull:
Hi folks,

I'm hoping to pick your brains for advice and info on the Evo 3D.

I'm an ex HTC Desire owner and HTC Sense fan, after selling my desire I bought a sim free Incredible S, but after trying 3 different handsets all 3 were returned due to signal loss on the O2 network.

I'm now looking for my next phone (sim free non contract) and I'm struggling to settle on a good one! I thought I was set on the standard HTC Sensation, but after seeing numerous mentions of 'dust under screen', poor battery life, death grip etc, I have to say that I've just about given up on it.

The other phone on my list is the Samsung Galaxy S II, however it's not going to have HTC Sense and I'm not a great fan of Touchwiz. I've also just seen mention of a screen burn type problem which is a bit of a concern. The other specs look quite good for the phone though.

This evening I stumbled on the Evo 3D forum! The phone looks quite nice, it has Sense, it has 3D features which don't really interest me. I also spotted a couple of familiar names in the rom dev section, LeeDroid and Baadnewz .... I thought you guys had Sensations? :)

So after all that waffle, what I'm really after are your opinions on the Evo 3D, what would you say are the pros and cons, what should I be aware of?

Would you still recommend the Evo 3D, given what you know now from your own experience?

Thanks very much!
[HTC EVO 3D] cloneman1:
I got the EVO3D mainly because I wanted to get the Sensation but I read a review that said ther EVO3D was very similar - so I went for it.

I'm happy so far - I feel as though I have an upgraded Desire HD in all aspects. The phone is probably not as fast as the SGSII, and doesn't have an 8mp/1080p camera, but other than that it seems pretty solid so far.
[HTC EVO 3D] UKseagull:
How's the battery life with yours?
[HTC EVO 3D] cloneman1:
The battery life is roughly 50% better than with the DesireHD. It lasts me through the day with no issues.

I'd wager it'd last 1.5 days in most scenarios
[HTC EVO 3D] UKseagull:
Any advice from other Evo owners?
[HTC EVO 3D] Alpine-:
I came from the EVO 4G. The 3D is faster, has more storage, and better battery life. I would recommend using a good ROM (like Warm 2.3 when its final) and maybe playing with some Kernels to get even better battery life. The 3D features are pretty useless to me personally.

A have seen at least two XDA posters in the Mynion threads talk about getting the GSII and then deciding to go back to HTC with the 3D. If you plan on using stock roms, Samsung's TouchWhiz (or whatever they call it) is far inferior to the work HTC has done with the Sense UI. I hate Samsung's proprietary UI stuff. If you plan to flash custom ROMs anyway, this isnt as much of an issue. I also feel like HTC is quicker/better about getting updates out timely and supporting aging devices. Samsung "has been" notoriously bad enough this.
[HTC EVO 3D] bonebeatz1234:
Sensation been great for me but every device is different so base your purchase on what works for you. Every phone has a batch of bad phones so get insurance and get a phone there all the same at the end of the day. And like he said it so many kernals out there that

fit your needs that you'll be happy with anyone I those phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] UKseagull:
Just to clarify, does the Evo have the antenna as part of the back cover like the Sensation and Incredible S do?

Any death grip problems? Any screen issues, i.e dust getting under it?

Thanks again.
[HTC EVO 3D] diante1366:
I came from the Evo 4g and have seen a night and day difference in the battery life. I can go the whole day with no issues. I also have rooted it and currently have Virus' Eternity 1.4.2 rom and stock kernel. The speeds are decent with the stock kernel and the battery life is good which is the main reason I haven't switched kernels yet. I recommend the 3d. I like the capability of watching 3d movies on my phone since I'm on the go most of the time it gives me the ability to watch 3d movies on a plane or where ever else I might be.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockrulez11:
i too came from an evo, but i absolutely love the 3vo! at first i thought 3d was just a gimick, but it makes this phone a true show piece! processor is a nice lil upgrade to 1.2 which is plenty enough. plus....you can't beat the development on it! good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] nicefellow:
Hi there. i have used both sensation and evo 3d

These 2 are both good phone, but, i liked the evo 3d much more for

1- the grip is far better from the sensation which have a nice design,but, not so comfortable to hold ( a bit slippery ) while in sensation you will feel much comfortable grip.

2- the response speed with sensation is beautiful and faster that the sensation.

3- the 3D screen is really nice. try downloading some videos and see for yourself. I personally liked it for videos and photos.

4- battery is good. It lasts a day without any problem with fair usage and data on.

I would vote for the evo 3d no dought. it is a very good device
[HTC EVO 3D] UKseagull:
Thanks :)

What do the Evo owners think to the still and video camera comparisons shown in the link below, would you say it's a fair representation? The Evo camera doesn't look so good in the review. :confused:

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_3d_vs_htc_sensation_4g_head_to_head-review-626.php
[HTC EVO 3D] nicefellow:
The Sensation camera is a bit better of course, but, i did not see that the evo camera is not good.

i like the quality which i am getting from the camera. it is pretty good unless you want a unprofessional pic, then you will need a pro camera.

in summery the shots you get is pretty good since it is a phone cam not a pro cam.

I liked the clarity and colors

still it is a personal preference in the end and that was my opinion

I hope i was hepfull
[HTC EVO 3D] UKseagull:
I'm seeing conflicting information regarding the 2D video recording, some info states that the Evo records at 30fps, but I've also seen 24fps mentioned. Can anyome confirm either as being correct?

Just press it and pray!

In all honesty, do as others have been told. Remove the battery. Let the phone sit for 10-30 minutes. Put battery back in. Make sure you're holding the '1' key during the entire time you're holding the 'Power' button (and before).

If that doesn't work, repeat the above, but leave the battery out and plug the phone into the wall/computer perhaps just in case the battery is dead.

Also, make sure you shout "Praise Odin!" three times before you do all that. The Android voice recognition is really good.

bricked epic 4g

Did the battery/sdcard pull work?

I bricked my Epic 4G Galaxy S installing the EL13 firmware. I had it rooted with CWM 5.0.2.7 (or whatever) with CleanGB 1.03 and the Samurai kernal (think it's 1.06, whichever is the latest). I was flashing it through Odin3 and it abruptly aborted and failed the transfer. I'm thinking it may have been a bad USB cable. I pulled the battery since it didn't reboot or take any button commands.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wscott9903:
pulling sd card and battery worked for me. I have trouble w/ getting errors on Odin from time to time, altough it could be the usb cord (esp if it's Sammy's "cheap" usb cord), but I've found that when i close Odin and "re-load" the .tar and necessary .pit files, everything was peachy smooth.

So odin + adhd = epic FAIL. I have used odin many times, and have run several roms.

Tried the little hole reset, usb power, battery. Nothing its a real brick
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceelos09:
Adam works more with mobile hardware and is the creator of the "unbrickable platform". He was working with us to get the Unbrickable Mod for our device but somehow, we never got the mod succesfully released/tailored especially for our device.

Somewhere between the lines semi/fully bricked

Okay folks, I've just spent the last couple of hours scouring the forum here (and elsewhere) for insight into my latest issue. I have learned two things. 1. There are a million brick/semi brick threads. 2. I think I need a new pair of glasses. I have not learned how to fix my issue.

So, the wife returns from her daily excursion today with D700 in hand and a look of shear terror. As she explained the situation as she handed it to me and I could see the all too familiar yellow triangle. The device was in download mode. She reported that she was using her navigation, it got really hot and rebooted into download mode. FYI: She was running CM9 RC1 (without complaints).

Here's where I'm at now...

The device is not recognized by Odin, Heimdall or any PC (7 different USB cables. multiple PC's and USB ports) with or without battery/sd card

Battery pull and replace results in download mode with or without sd card

No led or battery charge screen when cable connected to wall or PC with or without battery/sd card

No combination of buttons produce any other result than download mode when battery inserted.

Drivers have been reinstalled and are functioning perfectly on my other OG Epics.

all tested USB cables are functioning fine on the mentioned PC's and other D700's

Conducted PC restarts at each attempt.

On the surface this looks like semi brick but behaving like full brick. I dunno maybe somewhere between the lines. Any help here would be very much appreciated. Her mood is likely to remain unpleasant until I find a fix :(

By the way, this may or may not be the right place to post this but please go easy on me. My eyes hurt, I'm already here and this thread appears to be active.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
You posted in the right place your good. I actually commend you for not starting another thread ;). What's weird is all it will do is boot into download mode. That I have never seen or heard before. As for not bring recognized have you tried unstalling all phone drivers and rebooting then reinstalling them. Maybe allow windows to find the drivers? If other epics work.. you might be without a paddle.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy_nu:
have you tried to use a different operating system? preferably linux and heimdall.... if you are in download mode you probably wont be fully bricked.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chzeckmate:
I know, it's crazy. I've never heard of it either. No one I know has.

This was one of the first things I tried when the device wasn't seen by the pc... and as expected Windows didn't even offer to find drivers because it wasn't detecting a device on the port. As for being without a paddle...I'm here hoping someone has one :/

Heimdall didn't recognize the device either. The fact that it's in download mode does give the feeling that all is not lost but I'm worried. I'm stubborn and persistent just like most of the good people here and at this point I'm unwilling to give up. I'm sure someone must have something for this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:
If all it does is " boot into download mode" have tried booting into download mode the proper way? Power and the 1 key on the keyboard? It could be possible that it is not really in download mode.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
When you plug it in when its off does it do anything? If not its probably the charging port went bad or has some gunk in it... try cleaning the usb port and see if odin will recognize it then...

Edit- after rereading everything that's going on, doesn't sound like gunk or a dirty usb port cuz that wouldn't trigger download mode... very odd.......
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ÜBER™:

If they can't register it on their USB cable and can't restore it to stock firmware they don't have a way or reason to investigate further. It's a hardware problem as far as most of the techs are concerned and they will leave it at that. They don't get payed enough to investigate.
