"EVO 3D Oval Office"

Let it go already

All i wanted to do was discuss a new evo...

Like, they said the menus, buttons, and stuff like that arent 3D. But they are on other 3D phones so do we think this is something the devs can do, make all my menus 3D?

Really maybe im missing something...Does the title say BSOD explains why he was wrong? Or does it say 3D oval office? Does it not say at the end that the thread is about giving updates about the EVO 3D or does it say, lets talk about me being a liar or not?

Im done arguing with you, my god i would rather hear from BSOD, you are the worst troll of the two. You are bad mouthing BSOD in every thread, you have turned them all into threads about his credibility, my god i cant escape your incessant whining.

I am not whinning. I am just setting you straight. I did not start this thread, and my posts are consistent with the topic in the first post.

So the title is 3D Oval Office. What the heck does that mean? lol, Obama in 3D? I am posting about the same topics covered in the first post of this thread. You are the one posting about something else.

Again, if you want to talk about something else, either find that thread or start that thread. But my posts are on the same topic as the first post (and majority of posts) in this thread.

Yeah but you are rooted, you can remove bloatware, flash kernels, and improve your battery. Yes you probably shouldnt have to but I like to anyhow, makes me feel on the cutting edge lol. I like sense, the only thing i didnt like was not going landscape on the homescreen but sense 2.0 fixes that.

I was speaking more about the evo3d. I know I'll root it as well, but I'll likely wait until the root is perfected and made more simple. So it will be nice to have minimal bloat out the box... I realize some is necessary.

evomattnc said:

have you tried one of the z ports that are running sense 2.0? Mikz and myns warmz?

Click to expand...

No, I have been on CM since cm6 with the occasional Myn warm 2.2.

I have seen those roms tho, just haven't tried them personally, but, now that I see at least some of the latest sense... I'm thinking about trying some of the versions out now that I haven't tried. Like WarmZ and such.

Have you tried them?

Yeah I know, how long do you think it will take to get the root perfected? I didnt get my evo till december so it was already good to go. How long did it take the first time around? I dealt with bloatware for like a week.

I dont know that it is necessary but sprint feels the need to promote itself so it happens lol

I tried warm z and it was pretty nice. The problem for me was 4G doesn't work on that ROM and I use 4G all day every day.

wow, this place got all crazy while I was out of town.

its kinda funny. I don't know if I believe the guy or not as a lot of it could or could not be true.

either way I honestly have a hard time believing anyone involed with the evo from htc/sprint/intel or other would come on these or any board just becuase of the possible hate and shit storm it would bring.

it's kind of fun to read through tho.

** sits back with beer and enjoys the show **

First time I've ever had to use the ignore function in a forum, anyway, how about that EVO 3D huh?

I tried myns warm z, not miks. Myns warm z was nice. I remember being impressed with the look of it. 2.0 is more aesthetically pleasing and full landscape is nice. So all the sense widgets i like go lansdcape now too. menus are more pleasing to the eye, stuff like that. I have grown to really enjoy sense roms after tweaking things here and there, removing bloat, running a2sd, better sd card, sd speed boost, etc. I am on a sense rom now so i get all my widgets, have like 100 apps and still have 408 mb free on my internal memory.

How does one do that?

It really is pretty amazing that someone could throw out so many claims and be wrong on all accounts. The law of averages implies that he would have got at least one right, even if he fabricated them all.

I can understand being wrong on parts of the hardware, but BSOD was even wrong on the video formats E3D would support....

Click on your name at the top of the page, go to your user cp, edit ignore list, type in bl...., well you can figure it out from there

That was a first for me too. AF is usually very pleasant to be on. The root forum is the best forum ive ever been on, everyone in there is great. I have thanked a lot of people but this may be one of the most useful tips ive gotten lol.

I'm thinking it will be rooted before it is even released to the public.. hopefully. But it likely won't be long after that..maybe the same time frame as the Tunderbolt unless they throw a curve ball like the G2 had.

I'm pretty sure the OG Evo was rooted before it was released, I'm sure this one will be too.

I dont see HTC throwing curve balls really. I know they (sprint/htc) dont like some of the things we do here (free hotspot, verizon prls, bricking and collecting insurance) but I would think they would see the use in what the devs do and the ways we like to customize our phones for making future products, plus the ability to do thos things it what draw some people, like me. The thunderbolt would seem like an indication of that, they had a chance to lock it down but didnt try. It was what 3 days before the thunderbolt was rooted?

good and hopefully a rom i can flash with 3d menus the day after lol. Not sure i want 3d menus probably gets hard on the eyes but i totally want to show it off.

I can agree with your concern.

But Sprint has not "officially" mentioned a switch to LTE. All is speculation, the only thing Sprint has confirmed is that they have a viable/cheap/easy solution for switching over to LTE.

Now without any official announcement of a switch to LTE, and Sprint still pushing WiMax, they aren't going to make any annoucement during a preshowing of the 3D about it having LTE, it isnt logical.

Im not saying that it is good that they didnt mention, but that is business and how it works.

We still have NO confirmation whether the 3D has a radio capable of WiMax and LTE yet. I would guess a tear down of the radio's or the FCC approval will prove it.

You will have time before buying/reserving the 3D to know if it does or doesnt.

This isnt the same as HD-DVD vs. Bluray.

Edit: I guess also being a premier Gold customer, it doesnt bother me if 2012 they have a new LTE Evo and the 3D isnt capable, I'd probably buy the new one any way. I get a new phone every year.

I'm short on time because of the 4/1 deadline for upgrade before I lose my Premier status.

You see, I've got 2 phones... One just went off contract and the other has been eligible for an upgrade since last year. I've been holding off on it, but then I got hit with this Premier change....

If I knew Sprint was going to double their efforts into WiMax, it wouldn't bother me if my next Sprint phone didn't have an upgrade path to LTE, but I have a feeling.

I have a feeling the reason Sprint keeps talking WiMax is because if they dropped it, they'd be the only nationwide carrier that couldn't claim 4G. I also feel it's not in their interest to expand their current WiMax coverage because no one else is doing it in the US and WiMax isn't living up to what was expected.

If they were to switch to LTE and equip their handsets properly, they could at least get roaming/reselling agreements, as they are implementing LTE. Shoot, they're reselling WiMax, as it is.... The only issue with reselling LTE would be Verizon. Verizon is King of LTE, in the US for now, and they don't want to resell their LTE service. Sprint is pushing hard, with the FCC right now, trying to force low cost data roaming/reselling agreements as they currently have with voice service.

It seems, everything on Sprint, when it comes to 4G, is a gamble right now and if 4/1 passes without hearing good news about Sprint's future 4G services, I guess it's time for me to move on to Verizon with the Thunderbolt.

My only problem, with moving to the Thunderbolt right now, is the battery life. My friend is only getting 6 hrs of normal use and it's driving her nuts!!

Ugggh!! Decisions decisions!

To be completely honest, I'd take a slightly reduced bill (get rid of that BS $10/mo fee) and screw the 4G. For MOBILE data, 3G is perfectly fine, I think, for the vast majority of consumers. We are getting to a point where 4G isn't really implemented that well, yet all top end phones have it equipped.

So, it sounds like most everyone associated with HTC & Sprint are saying that you can purchase an optional backplate with a kickstand. How long do you think it'll be before we get a look at the finished product? I'm wondering how sturdy it'll be considering how thin the backplates are. I also wonder how much it'll add to the thickness of the phone.

Sprint also charges that $10 fee on 3G smartphones now.

If it's aluminum it will probably be sturdy. Might be kind of thick and heavy though.

On the flipside, it might help prevent scratches on the cameras.

Yup, I am aware. Doesn't mean I am happy about it!

I just can't see it being all aluminum. I see that posing signal issues, as was reported with other phones, like the iPhone in the past.

Yeah it will be interesting to see what they come up with. They should have just put it on the phone to begin with.

Maybe it will have some sort of aluminum frame on a plastic cover.
