In the latest press releases, IPCom said the company has moved a document to the Taiwanese mobile manufacturer HTC, announced that it will ask the German authorities imposed a ban on consumption of all 3G devices HTC which is sold in European countries, to implement a decision taken in 2009 by a court in Mannheim, Germany, which was then recognized HTC has violated a patent owned by IPCom.
The problem is that HTC did not conduct appeal proceedings after the decision was made. And now, IPCom are looking for ways to make the official ban of Mannheim 2 years ago to be executed in time "as soon as possible", ie to all devices of HTC 3G smartphone and tablet to "turn missing from the shelves before Christmas and the holiday shopping season last year. "
The risk of being banned from consumption in Germany, one of the largest smartphone market in Europe to correct at HTC are struggling to preserve market share of global smartphone market. The latest financial report shows that HTC is likely to decline 8% of total revenue in the fourth quarter of this year. Taiwanese carriers are losing customers in the hands of rivals such as Apple and Samsung.
Viewed as a "patent troll" typical of today's technology market, IPCom - a German company - a "professional" is only so much to acquire patents and then sue other companies to earn compensation.
Before HTC, IPCom been a nightmare for many years at Nokia in the European region. IPCom patents that HTC had used against the property of Bosch Group, which is related to wireless technology.

Comments on HTC EVO 3D first

Not just limited to movie theaters or in the 3D TV, now with the development of science and technology 3D technology is becoming ever more closely they appear on the handset.
Along with the continuous smartphone announced with cheap price, the more equipped for 3D features of their products can be a perfect solution for manufacturers to attract users. Shortly after LG announced the LG Optimus 3D, HTC is also available for multi-dimensional battle HTC EVO 3D form.

Design

HTC EVO 3D is a device that impressed with the very specific point in the design. The front display is 4.3 inch wide sheets of glass covered with an expanded four touch keys below.

The back is beautifully designed with the small diagonal grooves in the middle of a floating frame with metal rim painted red / yellow impressive. Dual-LED flash is located between MP 5 pairs of lenses arranged in a framework like the phone pocket tape recorder while looking through.

The next highlight is the camera button next to be highlighted with silver and large size, next to a sliding button to switch between 2D and 3D mode. The four keys located in front of a Home, Back, Menu and Seach.

Although not large, but the keys are arranged quite well to avoid the press by mistake. Above the screen is the speaker, light sensor, LED status messages and front camera for video call. A proximity sensor in the left speaker to automatically turn off the screen when a call. Bottom edge with a mic fairly empty and a small groove to remove the rear top of the power key / lock screen and a 3.5 mm jack. The right side is a microUSB port for charging and data exchange.

Overall, the structure of the HTC EVO is great, if the first smartphone from HTC tends to reveal the path between the pair together, the EVO 3D does not appear so. Significant drawback of this phone model is quite chubby size with a thickness up to 12.1 mm thicker than 1 mm compared with the Sensation, and 170 g weight is also quite large compared to many competitors.

Features

HTC EVO 3D has very similar specs to the Sensation. It also uses dual-core Snapdragon processor of 1.2 GHz and Qualcomm Adreno 220 GPU but the memory is increased to 1 GB RAM. The phone is equipped with 4.3 inch LCD screen Super-resolution qHD (960x540). Like the LG Optimus 3D, HTC EVO 3D monitor is also equipped with parallax barrier technology, which provides the ability to see 3D without glasses. The greater resolution, but that effect can make the screen HTC EVO 3D creates impressive somewhat lacking compared to LG Optimus 3D. But the difference is quite small and HTC products have wider viewing angle. Even two people can simultaneously view 3D content on the screen of the LG Optimus EVO 3D in 3D not done this. Continued weakness of the EVO 3D in the number of 3D features and applications less than the product of LG.

Actually 2D capability is very important characteristic of EVO 3D screen. And true 3D experience that will appeal to customers, but users will definitely spend more time working as well as enjoy the 2D content. Good news is that HTC EVO 3D has a large screen, bright, high resolution, but the bad news is that most of its rivals are equipped display such features. QHD resolution and wide diagonal 4.3 "definitely an advantage, but the contrast of the still limited when compared to Super AMOLED screen of the Galaxy SII Plus or Retina screen of iPhone 4.

In addition, HTC EVO 3D is equipped with a variety of other features like face recognition, accelerometer sensor, automatic brightness sensor, the Office document editing ... Of course the smart phone over time, "the number of dominant features." The important thing now is the user experience, while powerful hardware is the first step to bring it, you need to have a good match if the software is intended to compete in the market.

The user interface

HTC EVO 3D comes with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and Sense UI version 3.0. Lock screen with four shortcut of Sense 3.0 and a circle at the bottom. To unlock phones you just drag the center circle on the screen, or drag any shortcut that into it and to unlock and start the corresponding application.

HTC EVO 3D display and a 6 Homescreen by default only displays the time, and four shortcut key ring. Photo album screen slideshow of images from the library with great 3D effects. Not only that, you also have a Weather widget displays weather vivid picture of the Sense UI and a Stocks widget provides the latest market information. There is also a lock screen clock with a larger clock, with 11 different clocks to choose from.
Drawback is outside the built-in lock screen, you can download more from the new HTC Hub. Besides, there is a watch Leap view, the need to press home (in the screen at all) or take action to minimize drag until the screen displays the entire frame of the seven small screen. For press and hold motion, you can drag to rearrange the order of the screen frame. Seven screen is all what you have, there is no option to add or delete. But certainly with the handy widget you will want to keep all of them. Scenes go with HTC HTC Sense monopoly, is 6 custom setup screen (Work, Travel, Social ...). Each frame and change the widget background. For example, set work (Work) is a Stocks widget, while establishing a Social offers a Twitter widget. Of course they can be tweaked. The choice of a scene made in 3D tabbed interface beautiful, and you can edit the existing frame or additional frame from HTC Hub.

3D and 3D

Starting with the 3D with some different technologies now, each manufacturer has a particular approach. First to take pictures, with HTC EVO 3D you will have to be a stereo effect more pronounced with larger separation between the two lenses with the use of flash for each lens. Camera interface is very logical and layout has not changed since the sample Sensation. Most controls are located to the right of the viewfinder. EVO 3D offers a hardware capture key which is probably one of the best current camera key, which is the big buttons to press half-press type separately, and also has a sliding button to switch between two modes 2D and 3D.

After switching cameras, camcorders 3D mode you can preview the effect in this mode. Comment first is the brightness and sharpness is reduced compared to 2D mode. The decrease in brightness from parallax barrier, separating light from the screen orientation to both eyes and loss of sharpness is due to each of your frames offer a half-resolution screen for each eye. HTC is not a manufacturer specializing in the phone superb photography and HTC EVO 3D is no exception. Although the core feature is its 3D pictures and movies (and of course the ability 3D slideshows without glasses) in 2D mode it is also not very much smoother. The photos are still getting a few errors familiar HTC products such as fuzzy corners, noise reduction is too strong and too sharp. You probably will be disappointed in that only EVO 3D shooting 3D images with a resolution of 2 MP while Optimus 3D capture to 3 MP.
 
HTC EVO 3D support to shoot video with good quality and resolutions up to 720p in both 2D and 3D. The lack of 1080p video recording capability is rather unfortunate for a device carrying the dual-core processors. The interface of the camera similar to the camera, and there are many customization options here. You can set the video resolution and more effects. Autofocus function well equipped, but can only be used before you start recording. Then it is blocked and will not change even if you are moving towards or away from the back. However, the EVO 3D no problem with the focus even at very close distances. The video was shot format. MP4, and this is progress compared to the 3GP format on the Sensation. Like Sensation, the EVO camera 3D stereo sound recording at a frequency of 44 kHz, an outstanding advantages compared with 22 kHz mono sounds of Optimus 3D LG or Samsung Galaxy S II.

Battery life, price

Despite the large capacity - 1730 mAh, but when using normal 3D HTC EVO survive only about a day. Test shows when you turn on all except the Bluetooth connection using the call about 15 minutes, occasionally see photos and check email or view the messages from the social network after about 15 hours of your battery to about 7% . When using the 3D mode in about an hour taking pictures and shooting video 3D machine fell to 60% battery capacity. So if you go away with the EVO 3D charger should be prepared, if not out of battery half way through. The HTC EVO 3D sold for $ 15.9 million.

Conclusion

With the new HTC EVO 3D you can simultaneously enjoy the same screen resolution qHD 3D interface Sense as well as a powerful configuration. And perhaps this is the key to HTC products find a place in a fiercely competitive market.
