Octavian posted:I think there's something wrong with my Evo 3D. I can't see the 3D effect, and neither can any one else I've showed it to. All I've ever seen, no matter what I angle I view it at, is the two images making the 3D composite ghosted over each other - it that what a still image is supposed to look like if the 3D isn't kicking in? An update on my post a few days ago - it is possible to get an Evo 3D with a broken 3D screen. I finally got around to the nearest Sprint repair center and played around with a demo 3D, and it worked perfectly for me. After a tech fiddled with it for a little while they just gave me a new phone. If you are seeing that double-image effect I described, I wouldn't be surprised if your phone also needs to be replaced. Incidentally, I also want to mention that the 3D is more fun play around with than I would have thought.

letsgoflyers81 posted:They confirmed it would have the Webtop dock available when it was first announced. Yeah, in their press release they don't mention it for some reason. I thought that was one of the main selling points of the thing. The webtop dock they mentioned when it was first announced could be referring to the HD media dock, which also uses the webtop applications. quote:Robust Accessory Ecosystem The press release has no mention of the lapdock, just the HD multimedia dock and the navigation dock. Additionally, the lapdock sells for $499 and none of the docks mentioned are even close to that price. Appachai fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Jul 13, 2011 |

Appachai posted:I just think it's an interesting concept. Appachai posted:Something like this is probably where things are headed in the future. However this whole lapdock thing is monumentally retarded. The only reason it exists is because we haven't totally sorted out the storage management problem between devices and because of asinine tethering policies of US carriers. Consider, for $250 I can go out to Walmart and buy a reasonably-equipped atom netbook. With the right software on a rooted phone, I can wirelessly tether and access all my SD card storage. Note the following benefits:
The future is zero configuration device interoperability. Something like this just seems like a total step backwards. ExcessBLarg! fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Jul 13, 2011 |

The interesting thing would be having a cell phone as powerful as a desktop that could simply dock and run a real OS in a bunch of different environments such as a 24 inch screen(like a desktop), a tablet, laptop, or maybe even your car. All your computing stuff in one cell phone sized thing. The technology isn't there yet but it will be eventually. E: I also want my cell phone to replace my credit cards, atm cards, health insurance card, car insurance card, driver's license, etc. E2: Also apparently if you buy a bundle the lapdock is $300. 500 is if you buy it separately.

I'm really hoping they put out an update to the camera app for the 3D. The slow shutter speed is pretty bad when it comes to taking photos of anything that is moving.

The Shift has a slow shutter speed also, is this a common thing with HTC phones? My Env Touch took better pictures of moving objects honestly.

I'm on Sprint and good for an upgrade so I'm diving headfirst into Android for the first time. The Nexus S is grabbing my attention because it's stock Android (first to get updates), nice specs, and it's on sale for $99. It even has that weird NFC stuff I'd be interested in tinkering with. I think this is the one I want. Is there any good reason I shouldn't buy this and opt for one of Sprint's steroid-addled megaphones instead? noapparentfunction fucked around with this message at 06:07 on Jul 14, 2011 |

I replaced the homescreen app with Launcher Pro, but even without it runs pretty drat fast. Plus you can overclock to 1.8ghz on the EVO 3D and it's extremely stable. Haven't crashed yet and I've been running the overclock since it came out with.

I've been like I said on a Nexus One for a year and a half and a G1 before that, using stock AOSP and Cyanogenmod ROMs, and I actually prefer Sense as it is now. This phone is a beast and has NO performance issues at all.

noapparentfunction posted:Also I was preferring the Nexus S due to its thinner dimensions because I don't like huge phones. Yes the Evo 3D has better hardware in nearly every aspect. However it's big (4.3"), runs Sense, isn't fully rootable yet, might take some time (a few months?) to get a daily-driving AOSP ROM, and lacks NFC. So while it's an absolutely awesome device, it's not a great fit for you.

Also I was preferring the Nexus S due to its thinner dimensions because I don't like huge phones. What do you think? If you don't mind the slightly dated hardware, go with the Nexus S. It's a great phone that performs well. It even outperforms the EVO 3D in many things when you go head to head on stock (theres a few YouTube videos out there). I was personally between the EVO 3D and the Nexus S. I chose the EVO because of the specs. I wish I'd gone with the Nexus. Don't get me wrong, the EVO is a good phone, but it's far from perfect. I like the sleek look and smaller form of the Nexus better. And despite having a lower resolution, S Amoled is gorgeous.. Some people like Sense 3.0. I don't. I can't wait to root my phone and get stock Android on here. Sense feels too gimmicky and unecessary in certain places. They're both great phones and both have their shortcomings. You can't go wrong either way. And if you don't like the one you chose, you have 30 days to exchange it

As someone who has a Shift and a Epic on their lines, so far the Epic has been a better phone in every way. This is going by basic day to day use and haven't rooted either phone (I might put MIUI on the Shift). I guess lucky on our Epic.noapparentfunction posted:I can't help but feel like the custom skins manufacturers put on top of Android are a detriment to the performance and battery life. Also I was preferring the Nexus S due to its thinner dimensions because I don't like huge phones. What do you think? Nexus S is not a option if you are signing a 2 year contract. I wouldn't buy a phone right now unless dual core. So a thinner phone with dual core? Simple get the SGSII when it comes out (rumor is very soon). It does have TouchWiz, but root and flash that bitch right off there. Here is the review of the SGSII (Europe version) with some pictures. http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/28/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/ If you can't wait get the 3D. As a EVO owner I can tell you that you will get use to the size. Still I do wish it was lighter and thinner. nate fisher fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Jul 14, 2011 |
