      I just purchased one of these because it was 50$.
      It has massive display and build quality is pretty damn good.
      As far as the whole 3d gimmick, you might as well just leave it alone. The pictures do look cool, however they are dark as hell .
      The camera is a bit over hyped, it's pretty good though especially if you are looking for true to life kinda cool photos.
      If you can find one for cheap you can also custom rom it pretty easily.

        From what you wrote I think this is what is happening, and I've seen this with all kinds of products from electronics, tools, musical instruments, even cloathing. You name it.
        When a brand (of any kind) starts its way on any particular market it tends to make decent quality items, even very high quality that often don't make sense with price of an item. As brand and sales go up, cost cutting and qq control issues start to apear. Maybe this is what happened with this model of phone. You did say you got it very early.

              I just purchased my Red Hydrogen one Titamium version at a huge discounted price in 2023 brand new, it's every bit the premium quality & rugged built & design perfectly fits in my hand. The only issues I have is still in 8.1 Oreo & no more updates to 9.0 Pie after discontinuation in 2019 unfortunately along with Leia-lopt media contents. Beleive it or not I am using in 2023 as my daily driver switching from my Sony Xperia Pro i with far better specs than a 5 year old flagship it may have been, all the apps on my previous device was also sucessfully re-installed on my Hydrogen phone & functions fine....

I'm going to have a CNC friend to machine a thicker aluminum back(more room) and add some other battery. Turn it into a mini-pc? Linux/Android....

                The Hydrogen was such a waste of money. I'm surprised Red didn't get sued for a bait and selling such a crappy "Media Machine"...what a sucker I was...

                  I am now, and have been using this phone as a daily driver since it came to me directly from RED, via their pre-order launch.

                  It has worked reliably for me the entire time I've owned it, save for a fingerprint sensor replacement I had done by RED after the warranty, and also after their shutdown of the project.

                  The screen has had no issues. The camera still takes decent photos. The 3D aspect still amazes people 4yrs later, as does the form/design.

                  I've never had an issue using an SD card to extend it's memory. I'm using a Samsung 128 pro as I write this, which I have used in both the H1A1 and H1T1000, again...since the phone launched.

                  No issues with battery bulge. No issues with dramatic charge loss. I've never once put a case around this phone (H1T1000), or my H1A1, and I've dropped both innumerable times on concrete and asphalt, from heights as high as 12ft, without any significant damage. Yes, it did scratch the edges, but the screens were fine.

                  In fact the only real damage this phone has EVER succumb to, was having me fall on it, as I then fell onto my concrete driveway, which managed to crack the rear camera lens.

                  I weigh over 300lbs btw.

                  Additionally, I've never had an issue with Bluetooth disconnecting randomly, or losing signal where it shouldn't. I'm a truck driver, I know where I lose signal, it stays consistent.

                  I have no idea how it is that others have had such difficulties with things failing on the phone software wise, or having the phone just completely lock up.

                  Like I said, I've had it for years. I use it every day. The only people who have had one longer than I have were beta test lottery applicants, and proto type reviewers.

                  I have never had major issues with my phone. It's a reliable unit. Built like a tank, but not indestructible. Still takes decent photos and video. Still runs quick and impresses those that notice. Still an amazing piece of tech that was far ahead of it's time.

                      Interestingly I noticed this phone was used extensively in Don't Look Up, both being used by Dr. Mindy and advertised prominently by BASH as the unveiling of their emotion/body/thought detecting/predicting phone.

Try taking it to a 3rd party repair place cuz obviously hydrogen doesnt have a repair place, i think its a dead battery must have short circuited that is common on this phone.

                                  Phone was working fine. Went to the kitchen for a few minutes. Came back and it was dead. Would not boot up. Would not charge. The back of the phone is bulging out. Always cased and never dropped except one time on carpeting. It is a paperweight now. Stay the hell away from this trash.

                                    Who could have thought that this phone would inspire Sony to create the Xperia Pro.
