Here's an article that includes an Interview with an LG representative about 3D phones and the O3D: link
It says among other things:
- 1 million+ sales for O3D
- 0,5 million sales for Max (in South Korea only)
LG still believes in 3D, but not for now, but in the coming years.
The article makes all usual mistakes in believing that the O3D came too early. It also mostly only speaks about the 3D screen. (and ignores the much more important 3D camera).
I have made a (lengthy) response, in which I make a case for:
- bad support form LG
- ghost call issues
- phone lacking just the right specs to succeed (too fat, too slow, too little memory)
- people who had / saw the O3D loved the 3D effect
- 3D camera being more important then 3D screen (too small for movies, target audience is not the gaming audience per se)
If you agree, please like my response, or give simular responses.
Since LG was interviewed for this article, they may track it, and the responses.
they may become aware of the terrible support of the O3D, and see that there's still a living society that loves 3D phones, as long as LG supports it!!!
I highly admire what u did ..but o3d is not getting support because 3d is not well known or used over the world ..but in the coming years I believe we will see alot of advance ..
And LG forgot about O3d for now ..
For me its a great device but the lack of speed kills me as I depend on my phone alot in my daily life ..

i see some rooms with 3d driver
what is ? 3d driver for htc touch cruise ?
sry for bad english
Hi 3d driver is as the name suggest a driver that enables hardware acceleration of opengl graphics on the polaris, It was never an official release by HTC but was made by a few very clever developers. Unfortunately the driver was never quite finished off for the polaris as development moved on to support the newer phones. The reason you see roms with 3d and without 3d is because the 3d driver takes away about 15mb of ram so some people just prefer to have more memmory and no 3d as the last time i played around with it the 3d did not work with things like spb mobile shell anyway. So it was sort of really cool but kinda useless ( no disrespect to developers intended)
thnx
thank you man very much

Hello, I live in Spain, and here still have not the Evo 3D and it's not clear if it will arrive in this month (as HTC Facebook Spain said) or it will be delayed until September as in U.K. is said.
Well the question is:
Buy right here inmediatelly a cheaper Optimus 3D or wait for very expansive Evo 3D ?
So... Is there anyone that really had test both of them ?
I have all technical information, and I've seen the Dogfight comparison video but these really doesn't help my in my decission.
I am very interested in game compatibility, the GPS behaviour, battery duration and internet browsing experience.
All information about these things will be really appreciated Thanks in advance for your help.
so what i heard is, that the 3D thing is better on the LG phone, but i only can say, that the 3D effect on the LG is very cool.
i know: the EVO 3D can't make 2D videos in FullHD. The LG can.
The Evo has more RAM, but until now i cant notice that 512MB aren't enough.
I would recommend the LG phone. I am very happy with it.
Thanks a lot; really here in Spain people with O3D are very happy, and I have seen the 3D effect yesterday in the Optimus and I really liked it too, problem is... to compare it with the Evo

Thanks a lot, but I had seen those videos before and really didn't answer my questions about compatibility and GPS
i dont think that there are huge differences in these points. so the hardware is almost equal. i use the optimus 3D for navigation. no problems with that.
internet browsing the same. after gingerbread update both standard browser will be the same. i use opera for browsing. its the best for me.
i am not a gamer so i cant tell you anything about that, but both Evo and LG are highend phones... so the differences in those things will be minimal.
that the evo cant record in fullHD was the main reason for me against the evo. ...and of course the price AND that the LG is available in europe
but of course... if you are nut sure.. just wait till you can test the evo by your self. have you looked into EVO 3D forum? perhaps there are more information about that.

Yes I noticed that too, I've never had a phone (or any other GPS device) before that got a GPS lock in my house, these must have a very sensitive receiver.

Everything works just fine ,apps and games are not the problem
thanks a lot everybody, and excuse me for my bad english, I think I'm gonna try to pickup the Optimus 3D this weekend.
Game compatibility is better on O3D, because it has older PowerVR SGX540, which is widely supported. evo3d has adreno220 which is new chip and thus can have compatibility problems.
evo3d has higher resolution which is not fully supported in some applications.
Many users are complaining of crooked display on evo3d.
O3D`s display has much better brightness and contrast.
GPS in evo3d is poor. You can find threads on web about its inaccuracy.
I have found evo3d to be quite buggy device which has only one advantage to O3D. more RAM.
The Optimus has one more proved advantage. It has native support for 3D MKV movies. No need to convert at all if you have a huge enough memory card.
As the others already mentioned the GPS is VERY GOOD. I get a fix in under 5 sec with iGo.
Really thanks a lot to everybody.
Now I am looking for the device, I hope I can get one tomorrow.

Cannot agree more with the speed for GPS. Coming from SGS where the GPS is simply useless as you'll need to give it 5 minutes to get it fixed for 5 sec.
Also the GPS that comes with O3D is as fast as my Garmin-Asus M10 which is interesting
Hey,
i don't own an O3D but i wanna buy one.
but theres one thing that i wanna know:
is the 3D effect working with every 3D app or only with camera, pics and vids?
The app needs to support S3D, normal 3D apps won't become 3D just like that but more and more apps, specially games are being augmented with S3D.
There are multiple games now that support the 3D effect and it's actually really nice in most cases
The is a special 3D interface, and there is a 3D gallery, some 3D games, and some 3D applications. At the beggining of October, Android 2.3 update we be released with a feature to convert any app to 3D if it was based on OpenGL.
so ... for example i could convert go launcher with this tool and get an real 3D effect while while changing homescreen? ... omfg .. this would be amazing O.O
Yes, but as many lg 3D users will say, 3D effects will eat v much battery...i mean when ure in 3D apps u will see battery draining right infront of ur eyes...or just in my case...
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA Premium App
but GB should fix battery drain or? .. cause it doesn't need so much battery .. or?

It will most likely help with the battery time true but the screen still eats it's fair share.
Okay ... thank you
But:
a) 3D only works in landscape
b) 3D requires you keep the angle right when viewing the screen
As such, I cannot see it being useful at all for a launcher.
Its pretty good for games as long as they are not motion controlled, but certainly its main purpose is for viewing photos and videos as its easier to stay at the right viewing angle for those.
Hi folks. I have p970 and want to buy 3D max but I have few confusions :
1. Does 3D really works or its just a huss-fuss gimmik?
2. To tell truth I never felt 3D on my laptop using 3D googles and 3D movie except 4-5 seconds.
3. Same at cinema hall, I hardly notice any 3D except few scenes, rest all are departed cyan-red overlapping pictures giving terrible headache and cant enjoy at all.
4. I thought may be just I dont feel 3D but its not like, I saw a 3D show on local museum and I really felt the 3D effect n looked good too., so problem is not in me I guess.
Rest you suggestions.

Okay , I'll be as plain as possible.
3D is great but not on 3D Max nor any device really. 3D is still in it's infancy so there are problems none of which would bother you from the interface but a problem as in a general way.
Parallax Barrier on the screen will cut the pixels in the screen in half. So it looks bad. Imagine playing a game in 3D but with a 640x480 resolution on a PC. When you connect it to a 3D TV it's okay but with parallax it's not.
Lg is notorious for it's software upgrade schedule you probably won't be up to date with your android device without 3rd party roms.
This is a serious issue , it frustrated me a lot.
But in sum you will feel the 3D and it will give you headaches until you get used to it.
3D Camera and Video is really great , especially when you attach it to a TV.
3D Max has a high-end device price tag but if you think about it and research a little bit more , you'll see there are a lot of devices better than 3D max... Some of them even cost less.
3D max is just a little bit upgraded version of Optimus 3D nothing more.
I got a p920 , it's good , fast , efficient (with a good software i might add.) , So is the 3D Max.
Despite everything i just said , i would hang on to my P920 any day.
It's sturdy , really tough to break even the glass part.
I'm guessing 3D max is probably the same.
Hope i helped.
Cheers!
that's well said

Want an advice ? Don't buy LG Anymore.
Thank yu all guys, but main is will I feel 3D or just cyen-red overlapping scenes? And custom ROMs e.g CM, AOKP will give me same 3D effect?

Yes u feel 3d but maybe no good enough see 3d in 4,3" even it's glass less 3d, but the best parts is u can make 3d video and playing game with 3d converter app. I really love my p920 while playing samurai vengeance in 3d mode
3d not work on CM for now

Few more Questions
Did you get ICS update from LG? Or any chance of it?
How much rooting is safe ? One click root or some lengthy process?
No cusotm ROM got 3d working?

3D MAX owners should answer this and so far for 3D MAX there is only 1 custom ROM based on factory Gingerbread.
So don't get confused with P920 because we have 27-30 different ROMS to choose starting from factory FROYO's ending to CM10 betas...
3D today is not based on visible light filters like it was in the 70s. You will not see colours blurring. However, on the phone itself you might see an overlap of the two images (left eye and right eye).
3D glasses for the cinema and TV filter polarised light. The images for each eye are polarised differently. This works very well

Hi all.
From what I read and also from some friends, I found that LG Optimus 3D Max is supposedly the best one in terms of phone specs and 3D camera (plus it has 2D to 3D Converter as well for the games, etc.)... until recently I heard of Sharp Aquos SH-80F.
Which one is the best?

Can't tell you much about the Aquos except from the fact that it never was a popular phone. As for the O3D Max, I found that it was never officially upgraded from Gingerbread. There is an ICS port here on XDA but it is still buggy. If I were you, I would seriously consider getting its Korean counterpart, the 3D cube (SU870). It has more internal memory and running on ICS. You can find it on AliExpress for the same price as a used P720 or even less (100€-140€).
Does the SU870 able to convert 2D games into 3D games, or we can download that particular software into the Korean version?
