New post is on page 5. Details still relevant are in this initial post.
I like the EVO 3D, or at least I really want to like the EVO 3D. It was an upgrade that I didn't intend on making, since my EVO 4G got fried. So I decided to take the plunge and get a new phone after a year, instead of riding it out on my very stable rooted Cyanogen running EVO 4G.
Enter Sense 3.0 - new, and different but not horrible. I'm waiting on root and new ROMs to come out. I know they will eventually. The 3D camera effect itself - nauseating to view at length, and not a mature technology. So I don't use it much. Dual-core, more memory, active development community - how can I go wrong, right?
WRONG.
I have had the EVO 3D lock up on me so many times I think the best thing I've gotten good at with this phone is pulling off the back cover to pull the battery. I can't count how often I've had this thing refuse to turn the screen on after basically sitting and doing NOTHING. Not overheating, not in a call, running the camera, or even trying the half-baked and beta-testing root methods out there. I've left it alone for the time being. And yet it'll still lock - sometimes with the buttons illuminated, and sometimes not.
Has anyone gone through this same pain? I'm really sick of it and Sprint was no help with their "update your Profile and PRL" (which I had done already!) advice.
