EVO3D Issues and Problems...let's talk about them here!

**powerbyte#AC** · 06-23-2011, 07:25 AM

Hey Everyone!

As some of us are having some minor (and even some major) issues with their new EVO3D's, I thought this would be a nice place for a one-stop shop if you will to talk about them. So fire away!

Flashlight App is not in the app list. The plugin can be found in the os applications list, but no way to invoke it.

I appreciate the higher resolution display, but I can't stand how they changed the aspect ratio, effectively making the screen skinnier. To me the display feels quite a bit smaller than the evo 4g because of the more elongated shape. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I would have preferred the same screen ratio without any of the 3D features.

This was killing me all last night. The users guide said there was a flashlight app but I couldn't find it. I finally gave up looking and downloaded a Flashlight app from the market that lets you use the LEDs (among other things). Still would like the HTC one since I could change the illumination level.

Its one of those things that I don't use often, but when I do its critical. It has saved me more than a few times.

What about the ESPN SCORECENTER app, I can't find the original one. Anybody know where it went?

When I start my camera with the toggle switch on 3D, it still starts in 2D sometimes.

I need to switch it to 2D, then back to 3D for the 3D to take effect.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I have a serious problem.. I don't have an Evo3D till tomorrow!

With my luck the radio shack I preordered at will probably catch fire before I get there burning my Evo.. haha seriously This crap is depressing waiting for this freaking phone.

Maybe it's just my eyes not liking the 3D effect, but when displaying 3D content, any tilting (even very minor) of the phone from left to right shows vertical waves in the screen. Has anyone else noticed this?

I noticed this too when I was downloading apps yesterday I used that app all the time I hope they fix the comparability issue

**jrojas12** · 06-23-2011, 09:00 AM

My major issue is that mine crapped out and is a paperweight and that Sprint wont let me return it until tomorrow.

While it did work I also noticed the vertical lines, especially in direct sun. I'm assumming this is part of hardware that makes the 3D screen function

It's the type of screen that makes 3D viewing possible without glasses.

It sends certain images to your right eye, and then certain images to your left, creating the effect, when you start moving the phone from the 3D's "sweet spot" this is the effect.

Is anyone having issues with google navigation? Telenav works great but if I want to use google navigation it can never acquire the satellites. Just sits there with my location and says acquiring satellites on the bottom.

Becareful when restoring fron backup.. It deleted everything on my SD Card, but restored my old data from my OG Evo... Lol

Would one of you mind uploading your 2d and 3d image folders from your sd card?

**sed51329** · 06-23-2011, 09:34 AM

When watching a movie on the "Watch" app, the left side of the phone NEEDS to be towards the ground. If you flip it to the right side, the 3D effect messes up.

**smgoma** · 06-23-2011, 09:40 AM

Restart not working. Must hit Power button to get it to start after shut down from Restart.

**smgoma** · 06-23-2011, 09:40 AM

No compatible Netflix app.

**wessock** · 06-23-2011, 10:45 AM

The music app is not saving the spot in mp3s. The evo 4g had the same bug but they fixed it, no idea how they could let it happen again on a new phone. It makes listening to audio books and stuff almost impossible. Might have to return it since I listen to audio books most of the day at work.

Also, no battery widget is available either, not just the flashlight is missing

Same here...it's messing with my eyes ugh!

**Kevin_G_Sanchez** · 06-23-2011, 10:53 AM

I would read a message and it sometimes stays unread. Agenda widget sometimes reloads itself.

**Kevin_G_Sanchez** · 06-23-2011, 10:53 AM

O yea and I miss the battery widget and flashlight :-(

There's a download link in the 3D forum somewhere. Was watching netflix last night. Just have to hit cancel, when it ask to find update.

**hollrn** · 06-23-2011, 11:20 AM

Mine can't get over 120kbps down over 3G... Sprint won't do anything about it until tomorrow. Awesome over Wifi though!

**w0rryw0rt** · 06-23-2011, 11:29 AM

Hi there... After an insane Odyssey to the UPS warehouse last night, I finally have my EVO 3D.

Anyway, after changing the lock screen icons to show Music instead of Mail, the Phone icon is gone and replaced by a blank icon.

Help?
