[Q] In search of the best 3D smartphone - General Questions and Answers

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?

Lg optimus one vs lg optimus me

Please users, tell me which phone is better. I wanna buy one of these 2 phones.
I wanna use it mainly for graphics, apps to sd, root, custom roms, and games. Emulators too. Also can someone confirm how is psx4droid, n64oid and nds4droid working?
I documented myself and found that lg optimus one has 2.3, bigger screen, but 600 mhz, and optimus me has 800 mhz.
Plz respond quickly, the offer ends tomorrow, and i'm gonna buy it tomorrow night!
Definetly Optimus One. I didn't find anything about Me CPU, but I storngly believe that it is the same 600 mHz. also Optimus One still does not have oficial 2.3 upgrade, but there ar some custom ROMs. I recommend you Optimus One form these two phones
Get a LG O1,its just great...
Been using it for about a month now running on CM7 overclocked to 768 Max and 600 Min.
Runs like heaven..Plus u got lots of custom roms to choose from...
Comparison
Hi there, I'd like to ask the same Q... What's their processor speed, do they support multitouch, etc.
Which one has a better res. screen, what are your experiences...?
I'd just like to know since there isn't a very decent comparison on the internet...

[Q] Evo 3D or Optimus 3D (Europe)

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.

Well I dont have Evo 3D but I had same dillema last week ,and I chosed O3D...
I do not know what you mean when you say compatibility, but I can tell you that GPS works great on O3D.. it find's signal very quickly even when I am in the house

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

[Q] P720 optimus 3d max

Hi guys,
I'm wondering why we don't have a seperate forum for Optimus 3d max (P720)
This device is new version of Optimus 3d and has a lot of differences.
Shouldn't we already have a seperate forum ?
Thx.

Because very less active users on xda.
If there were around 300-400 active users on xda then we might have a separate forum!!!

Because very less buyers of 3D max
Sent from my LG-P725 using xda premium
In my opinion, if LG had given the original O3D dual 1.2G CPU, 1G RAM, a QHD display,matched the price and entered the US market before the EVO 3D, THEN we would have lots of people owning the LG3DO and its successor the Max and result in lots and lots of related activity here on XDA.
Even though the 3D max has finally delivered on dual 1.2G CPU & 1G RAM... its too little too late. Not to mention LG's heel dragging of OS updates!
Besides the very few people who are hardcore into 3D... the 3D Max is simply not an attractive proposition to the majority of smartphone buying public.
Hence takeup of the 3D Max vs even the O3D is sadly very low.
How many people here have a 3D Max/Cube? Maybe a single handful of active users is probably an overestimate!

currently an owner of a bricked p720. its a wonderful device. the OS just wasnt up to scratch, and still isnt.
I cant understand why LG wont pull there finger out and do something about it. If they can be a main competitor in the LED 3D TV Market... why not in the Mobile Phone market. They really do need to get a step ahead whilst they have the chance, People will eventually turn to 3d as the technology improves, and LG have there foot already in the doorway while other companys ignore it.

i think mrmrmrmr has got a functional device, might be best getting a hold of him and doing it.
i've just been on youtube and commented on some vids asking them.. hopefully they will get back to me.
Hello there!
I think its not necessary to have separate forum.
Would be way better if someone try to flash/port SU870-ICS KDZ to P720 like xbsall done for p920
Guyz i am an optimus 3D max owner.
I have successfully ported many roms for a low end phone MICROMAX A60. But right now my pc is ****ed . Hard disk is blown and my parents are not buying me a new 1.
Even no internet at home.
Just 2g on my o3dMax.
I would definately tried and worked for 3D max if i had a new hard disk and internet connection
When i had i provided rooting procedure and CWM recovery to 3D max p725 and p720h.
I am helpless :/

nope.
I don't have it.
Actually, I would sell my Note to buy one if there was enough custom rom development for it

[Q] Simple Question but...

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

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?

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

Article that includes an Interview with LG about 3D phones

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 ..
