What is your most significant problem with the EVO 3D?

[HootieMacMN]

The biggest problem I had up until last night was that about once per day the screen would just stop responding touch touch input, outside of unlocking it and pushing the 'restart' button. It seemed to be related to the Yahoo mail app.

However, last night the phone essentially bricked itself. I had just checked the Weather.com app and put it to sleep, when it suddenly just went into a loop of restarting itself. I had to pull the battery to get it to stop. Tried restarting, it made it to the Sprint splash screen, then started looping over and over again. Repeated the process of battery pull, restart loop to various stages, battery pull, etc... 3-4 times. Finally decided to try a hard reset. Same result- it would get part way into the boot process, then start over. Gave up for the night. This morning it doesn't respond at all. Had it on the charger all night, so the battery isn't dead- it's just straight up bricked. Best Buy, here I come.

UPDATE: Took it in to Best Buy (where I purchased it) and they had to send it out to have it looked at, but admitted that they'll likely just end up replacing it. Gave me a Hero as a loaner (didn't want to go back to my Pre). Oh God do I hope they hurry...

Screen starts becoming unresponsive randomly. Buttons and a couple other things work but If I want to click on an icon, nothing happens.

I haven't seen a green tint in pictures, but I do see an affinity for the color green. I took a picture of some big horn sheep while kayaking and the bushes were a vivid green. The other colors were true to life but wow, the green bushes really popped. I'm a semi-pro photographer and use a Canon camera that has a vivid setting for red/blue/green and it reminded me of using the vivid green setting.

Beyond that, my only issue with phone is a undeletable stock apps. I'm too much of a coward to root it, I enjoy the Sense interface, but I wish I could get rid of Peep and junk I won't ever use. I would have gotten the new Nexus just for the stock google, but really wanted the dual core processor.

The crappy sound quality and signal lock issues are ruining any postive experience I may have with this phone. Couldn't care less about some of the bugs but this is my office phone and I need a phone that can be used as a phone.

if you are on your 3rd phone, with all the same problems, there is a 99.9999999999999999% chance that where you got the phone, they have a bad batch of them. call up sprint and ask them to send you a new one through the mail. I'll almost garentee that all your problems will go away.

you are not alone. there are bad batches of phones that can show up from any company. the sad part is that people just keep running back to the same place to get another bad phone from the same batch.

I got the first one direct from Sprint in the mail. I got the second one in Culver City, CA. I got the third one in Tucson Arizona - they sure spread that bad batch pretty wide!

I would not cross the street if I were you, you clearly have the worst luck with phones. in fact, I wouldn't even leave the house.

I have had my phone spontaneously open the voice nav app, but only when I have something plugged into the headphone jack. I have noticed that when I first plug in my patch cable to my car stereo or headphones it shows a headphone icon, but when it starts acting up the icon has changed to headphones with a microphone. The headphones I use don't have a mic and neither does the car stereo. It also sometimes causes the mp3 I'm listening to to skip to the next file or start over. When it's just a song, it's no big deal but when it's an hour long podcast or audio book, it's a pain to find your place again.

this has been said allready but I also have the issue of my camera app freezing every once in a while

I'm on my second one due to some dead pixels and the green photo issue. So far so good on my new one but I haven't been able to take that many pictures yet. Will report back when I do.

I have this same exact problem. It was particularly annoying today in the gym when I was trying to listen to Pandora and it kept pausing and playing music from my local files and switching back and forth. It would also just stop playing music and when I stopped to check the phone, the voice search prompt would be open. Very frustrating and I hope the next update fixes this!!

When I create a shortcut for an app that is saved on my sd card and have to pull the battery, shut it down, or restart it the icons change to a green android icon.

More of a general issue, quickly typing in portrait is trickier than i thought, tried several keyboards. I feel like a 4.5" screen would be nice, but I don't wouldn't give up 3d for it. I may be in the minority, but 3d is fun and a big deal to me.

I use the stock keyboard which I found a bit flaky until I calibrated it.

I've exchanged my phone a few times because it keeps dropping calls but some people say I must have a defective phone. I've had my last one about 2 weeks but I'm out of my 30 day - can I still get a new one or do I have to get a refurb one if I exchange this one - I'm starting to think it drops even more calls than my last 2.

 

[incarceration]

No problems for me either. You need to add that as an option because the other options seem really ridiculous and possibly user error vs. phone error.

User error that I drop signal and callers complain that I sound garbled - Is that because I keep going into my lead lined room and try to make phone calls with about 20 saltines in my mouth? Please feel free to explain the user error dropping calls in all the places my old hTC Sprint phone never dropped calls and where coworkers with other Sprint phones can make calls.

I'll add another option as soon as you explain how to create another option once a poll is created - can't be done - people who think it can be done are experiencing a user error.

This happens to me too. Very annoying
