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

[anon(32502)]

My most significant issues:

Speaker on speakerphone is very weak.
3G download speeds at approx. 120kbps.
I'm not nuts about the placement of the camera shutter, its annoying because of the way I hold my phone.
Camera lenses are destined to eventually have scratches. My fingers are all over it when holding the phone, and I doubt I remember to wash my hands every time I use the phone.
I would have preferred the micro usb port to have remained on the bottom.

That said, I'm more impressed than I thought I would be! +1

ok, I haven't seen anyone with this issue. Within the lock screen I can't open an application by moving the circle over it. They all disappear once I "capture" the circle and opens to the home screen as if I had just performed a normal unlock motion. I even asked a sales rep at a Sprint store (was there to get my son transferred over to my previous EVO 4G), and they were not able to assist. Everything else is working essentially as others have mentioned. I've performed both the HTC and the Watch updates, and reset a few times as well as performing a battery removal reset but to no avail. I've taken the time to get a ton of info loaded so would rather not revert back to factor default, but am curious if I'm the only person seeing this particular issue. A great phone, but is a minor annoyance...

Move the application into the circle, not the circle over the application.

Anyone notice that when you put an app shortcut on that the app's picture does not display correctly when you restart? This is really bugging me. I think its only for apps that were moved to the SD card. Can someone confirm...

Seeing the same, and agree it appears to limited to the apps that have been moved to the SD card.

I also notticed that if you are using widgets for apps that are stored on the SD card they wont work unless the app is stored on the phone.

Does it eventually update and show the correct icon? If that is the case it is the same with the 4G and is probably related to the phone re-indexing/scanning/preparing the SD card. If it doesn't update after a couple of minutes then I would buy it as a bug.

It's been a few hours since my last reset and the icons still have the incorrect icon.

Sounds like it might be a valid issue then. That is too bad because I move most of my apps to the SD.

Any app with a widget, when moved to the SD card the widget will cease to work properly. This is not a phone issue, but a limitation of Android OS.

Netflix and Xfinity are both saying they arent compatible with this device. Thoughts?

Waiting on a fix for Netflix, but I can get the older Xfinity app to work, but the newer, better one doesn't show up in the Market.

Sorry if this has been posted, but when I make a video chat the incoming picture is upside down, is this just me or does anyone else have this problem? Used Tango and Fringe!!

I just tried to take a pic and attach it via handsent and it said the pic could not be attached. It was a regular shot taken from the front facing camera. If I try and attach a pic without just taking it (IE pull up the text and hit attach from _____ Source) then it works just fine.

*Update to this... The recipient of the pic mail is saying that she's not getting the pic. I will try sending to someone here at the office and see if its her or something up with handsent/picmail

I was having issues with my 3G download speed not exceeding 120kbps as well. I talked to Sprint and they had me reset the data provisioning and it fixed the problem. Now I get 700-1000kbps. If you know your MSL you can do it by entering ##3282#, click Edit Mode, enter MSL, then go to Data Profile, hit menu and select Restore. If you don't I was able to get mine just chatting to them from Sprint Chat

Go to the app called 'Watch' in the app drawer. It will download the license and then play the movie.

Actually, there is app direct for the movie in the drawer called 'The Green Hornet,' so scroll down to the T's and you'll find it.
