MatCauthon posted:IIRC, something about the connection having trouble switching from 4G to 3G or vice versa which caused slow load time for websites, and some tinny noise on the caller end or garbled sounding audio on the receivers end. Well the receiver did say it sounded a bit tinny, yes, but she said it was just normal cell/smartphone quality.

One nice touch on Sense 3.0 is that the widget elements are actually animated independently. When you spin from, say, the main home screen with the clock/weather widget to something else, you can see the clock rollers on the side of the numbers, and you can see the other numbers underneath. The text also lifts off separately and moves at a different speed. This is also really obvious on the weather widget. Just slowly move from page to page (reaaaalllly slowly) and you can see the temperature text rotate and "lift" off the weather background.

Used the 3D a bunch last night. Showed my girlfriend the phone, and while Sense 3.0 blew her away, she thought it was pretty similar to the Evo 4G, so I showed her the 3D camera. She got really excited, which is unusual because neither of us cares much about 3D stuff. But we started goofing around taking 3D pictures of our cats and 3D videos where she rolled a volleyball towards the camera, stuff like that. She went from "oh that's neat I guess" to "holy crap this is awesome" because of that...

But like the guy said, it's one icon, it's not like the dialer isn't working or anything. Replace it with something else, or get Dialer One, problem solved.

Rurutia posted:I come from an OLD Blackberry Curve and need to get used to the shorter battery life. I used to be able to leave my Blackberry on for 3 days before it ran out of battery (very low usage). The first week or so there's going to be some wildly inaccurate battery reporting and also some breaking in of the battery. As an example, yesterday I went from 100% charge to 40% in about 3 hours (starting at 8AM) with virtually no usage. Then I plugged it in for 15 minutes, it went up to 80%, and lasted me until 10 at night. Battery poo poo will be weird for a while. Give it a little time.

900ftjesus posted:Anyone else using Launcher Pro on the 3D? I noticed that the app drawer animation is really choppy, not scrolling through icons, but the drawer opening effect. Everything else is incredibly smooth except for the drawer opening. I set it to instant open for now, just wondering if anyone else is seeing this. Do you have Rosie turned off? Funnily what you are seeing is EXACTLY what I saw with the original Evo (eh, there might have been a little slowdown in switching screens, I don't remember) and everyone told me my phone was faulty. If I remember right, Rosie kept turning itself back on and it was a crazy resource hog. Not sure if that's also your problem, but it's worth checking into.

TLG James posted:How come not all my apps transfered to the new phone? Mainly angry birds... What did you do to transfer? The way the market seems to work is that any purchased apps will re-sync with your device, but free apps (like Angry Birds + ads) don't get permanently attached to your account, so you have to manually redownload them. Are you missing only your free apps?

fagalicious posted:Unless the evo 3d is different from any other android phone I have used, it syncs them with gmail automatically so the issue should be in his google account as well.. Any Android phone can have several kinds of contacts - one of which is Google, which is the sync you're talking about, and another is a phone contact, which is only local storage. As in, it stays on the phone itself, like a dumbphone contact. You can have both of these on your phone at the same time. If that's what he's talking about when he says local contacts or whatever, then changing things in Gmail Contacts on the web won't affect local contacts at all.

I'm at 10 hours in so far on definitely heavy use. Same here. First few days I was lucky to get 10 hours with light to moderate, yesterday I got 14 with heavy usage (was at Six Flags and played Game Prix Story and trivia games through the lines, and during the 3 hours of driving, with wifi, 3g, and bluetooth on). I also run the screen pretty bright because damnit I like bright screens.

Vykk.Draygo posted:Sorry for the double post, but I find this very interesting. My EVO can no longer receive text messages or picture mail. I've tried it with CM7, a fresh install of Fresh, and a fresh install of rooted Stock, and it doesn't work on any of them. I've done a PRL update and Profile update a few times, and I installed the newest radios, but nothing has fixed it. I switched my account to a Samsung Moment I have laying around and texting works fine, which pretty much puts this solely on my phone and not on my service. Is it possible for something hardware-wise to keep messages from coming in? I can still receive them via Google Voice (I'm integrated but I've tried disabling it) but not the normal way. It is completely baffling me. I'm out of my warranty period and don't have TEP so if it's somehow a hardware issue I'd guess I'm SOL.

The battery life on the Evo 3D is noticeably better than the Evo 4G. I struggled to get through a full day with my normal use on the 4G, but with the 3D yesterday I had an hour phone time, couple hours of gaming, along with some Pandora and browsing, with BT and Wifi on, and I plugged in after 19 hours with over 20% battery left. Good times!

Chunk posted:Sense is beautiful, but I really wish there was a better element of customization, in particular maybe if the widgets weren't almost entirely all gigantic. You know there are multiple sizes for most of the HTC widgets, right? When you're adding them you get a preview window and if you scroll left/right you can see more variations. I believe most widgets have smaller versions than the defaults (except bookmarks, of the few I looked at)

Duckman2008 posted:I just hate that the Sense 3.0 Launcher is a grid and you have to flick up to see apps in blocks of 5, instead of a smoother transition. Drives me nuts everytime i play with it. Probably my only gripe on sense 3.0. I actually kind of prefer that over Launcher Pro / stock Android style. The reason for this is I have a nasty habit of over-swiping to my apps. I'm not super precise with it. So knowing it's "two swipes" instead of "a swipe of x speed" is nicer for me.

brc64 posted:Assuming it's like the EVO 4G, there is no roaming indicator that will show up at the top. In fact, unless it's changed in Sense 3.0, it won't even tell you when you're on 1x (it always just displays 3G even if you're not getting 3G). What? Both the Evo 4G and the Evo 3D had both roaming and 1x indicators. In fact every time I go into the bathroom at work, my phone switches to roaming and I get the triangle indicator on the UI. Same was true on the 4G.

It's possible that got changed in a later update, I guess, but I am 100% certain that when the phone launched, there was no 1x indicator. It was a bit of a controversy at the time. Hmm, you could be right about 1x, I haven't been on Sprints network without 3G in so long, now that you mention it. There absolutely IS a roaming indicator icon though.

Heh, called up to find out my ETF for Sprint the other day, at the time I was shopping around for a new carrier. Guy I talked to told me the number and didn't bother with any sort of retentions at all. Then he asked, "you switching to another carrier?" I told him maybe, and he said "Man, hope you find something better out there, good luck!" and hung up. Kind of bizarre.

I even talked to a supervisor who had no clue what I was talking about either, or anything about 4G LTE. I had a friend shopping for the Nexus and he went to Sprint to ask about it.
