HTC EVO 3D: Issues and Problems...let's talk about them here!

[exile]

Yes the charger is plugged in for it works for about five minutes. I purchased the MHL Accell.

Uh oh that's not good. I bought the same one off of amazon. Haven't tried mine out yet. Going back home Friday to bring more stuff down to school, including the tv.

Although the only reason to use the tv is for the phone so i can browse online and stuff on a large screen. Didn't even set up cable or internet in my apt because I do everything on my phone.

The reviewer I was commenting back and forth with on amazon who also has a 3d said his worked just fine. I'm interested what the problem is for yours and if it'll happen to mine as well. Hmmm..

After a couple minutes it just completely stops working? Or no video with sound? Or just video? Or just goes crazy and getting lines and color disfiguration? Is the hdmi cable you're using is okay? Do you have your phone setting to turn off the screen after so many minutes? Are you using any sort of extension cables? Just asking

Bad connection somewhere... Something with the power/charger.. not sure what else I can think of that would cause it to not work. Otherwise you just got a defected unit.

Voice calling & no confirm -- bluetooth

I think this phone is almost perfect. I'm coming from WinMobile (PPC6700 > Touch > Touch Pro 2) and was very dependent on Microsoft Voice Command with my bluetooth headset.

This is where I find the Evo 3D most lacking.

1) The built in voice calling has very poor voice recognition
2) There is no confirm built in to confirm you are calling the right number (particularly critical in light of #1 above)

I've found a number of 3rd party apps that provide the confirm function, but they all require screen input so are no use for voice dialing over BT.

I bought the Blueant Q2 headset to at least get proper incoming caller id announced over the headset and that works great.

We really need properly working voice calling with call confirm available over BT.

Preface: I'm an Android noob/webOS convert, so I apologize in advance for any ignorance I may display. So...

I've had my phone for a little over a month and up until a few days ago, it's worked fine. However, the other day the capacitive buttons started staying lit all the time. Actually, to be precise, they either stay lit constantly or don't go on at all (with slight leakage over the Search button). I've also noticed my proximity sensor is no longer working; could they be related? Does it sound like a hardware problem or something a reset might fix?

If I power down or restart my EVO 3D some apps loose their icons on my home and lock screen, anyone else having that problem and is their a patch on the way? Other than that no other problems to report yet. (had phone since launch date)

I'm pretty sure you're just losing the icons for apps that are on the SD card.

The work-around I've figured out is to reload your scene after boot -- (first load a different one, then reload your prefered scene).

Hello, i am having issues with my YouTube app on my 3VO. After a few minutes of watching videos (usually on WIFI) the videos tend to start to lag towards the end of them. I still can hear audio but the pictures lag and distort. Like i said, it usually happens when well into the video. HELP!

Have you been able to test this on a variety of wifi connections, or just one source (other wifi networks and 4g)? Also, have you tried watching the video in a browser to see if the issue persists?

Sometimes when YouTube lags on me (buffer times out), I can skip ahead 1-2 seconds and it will reload the buffer.

Finally, you can also test to see if watching in non-hd improves performance.
Hope something here makes sense, but I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by the video distorting, so I am making assumptions based on my own experiences.

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

Has anyone noticed an issue with the clock in the widgets section? it does not recognise the correct time for the area based on Daylight Savings time. I am in Bowling Green, KY which is 100% CST but it is saying that the time is 1 hour ahead of what it actually is and there is no way of changing the time in the widget. Also being affected are when I send texts, when someone sends a text back from a phone that has the correct time, it puts them out of sequence due to issues with Daylight Savings.

Talk about annoying!

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

I'm having a few issues since the latest ota update. Even a hard reset doesn't seem to do any good.

1. Lots of random reboots of sense and sometimes the phone itself. Can't seem to pinpoint the action that is causing this as every time it occurs something different is going on.

2. Touch screen becomes unresponsive at times and most often results in a reboot of the phone.

3. The camera takes photos fine in 3D but once you try to review them in the gallery later the pictures are out of alignment and can't be realigned for some reason.

That is all for now. I'm sure I've experienced other glitches but none significant enough to come to mind at the moment. Any help resolving these issues or suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

**Update**
So according to the Sprint tech my phone is having a " software issue " and must be replaced. But not before trying to tell me that I had a bad battery. Lol. Then he asked me if I was happy with the phone which I promptly replied yes until I began having issues but it began me wondering what he might have said had I told him that i was indeed not happy with the device.

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

Return it.Return it.Return it.Return it.Return it.

Does it matter how long you have had the device? Because I have had it the day our came out and I was just dealing with all the problems. Now I don't know if I can return it because its been so long.

Try moving all apps back to phone instead of SD card.

HTC EVO 3D...
Why is it that when I click the option to have SIGNATURE attached to my texts, they get saved as drafts when every time I send one out?
