Remember when the Evo 4G came out and how all of the screen separation, light leakage and other defects came with many of them? You guys think it's worth it to wait a while after the release date to get it? (to have a "perfect" phone)

I still have a first batch evo, got it release day. In fact My first batch EVO is the first Sprint phone besides my Sanyo M1 that I didn't need to have replaced in 10 years.
i would think that they had a checklist of mistakes not to make again. hope fully they did that.
No, there is a warranty. But if you'd rather wait...have fun!
The biggest issue had to do with how the screen was glued down and how the glue they originally either wasn't enough or eventually wore out.
Unfortunately, this is one of the problems with being an early adopter. But since it'll be covered by warranty, you'll be fine.
If you don't want to bother with the hassle, it's better to wait a month or two and then get it. More prudent that way.
I have 3 first batch 4g and none of them have had any build issues.
I think by now they have this form factor down..I'm not worried and like they said warranty
I had my first Evo since a week after the release date. If I wouldn't have dropped it 2-3 months ago and cracked the screen, it would still be running today with no issues.
I also had a release day evo...and the phone worked great, the only reason I swapped mine was due to a few dead pixels...it wasn't a huge deal but they kinda bugged me when I was browsing which I do alot of...nothing my warranty didn't fix quickly.

Exactly.

Can't count the times I've dropped my day 1 Evo 4g... Never a problem and never a bit of protection for it aside from an invisishield.
If that's the quality of the 3D then I will be extremely happy.

my guess is they learned from the manufacturing issues they had with the EVO 4G. if not, then some people need to be fired and they need to revisit their procedures. but as with all manufactured items, there is always a chance of a defect.
my launch day (0002) EVO has treated me well, up until last month when i had to get the screen replaced due to unresponive area. new screen = no light leakage/seperation or that splotchy area that looks horrible (those who had it, know what i mean)
I had an original 002 from launch day, and the only issue I had with it was it developing white spots over time. Just two weeks ago, I had it swapped (only because they didn't have that screen type in stock), but like others have said, don't be afraid because you do have warranty, and also I would suggest getting insurance for most smart phones these days since they're so valuable.
Just pre-ordered mine from WireFly ($179.99). I'm upgrading from the Hero, so I can't really speak for any of those problems, but the people I know who got the Evo 4G when it was released didn't have any problems at all.
I've had mine since launch day and she is going strong I'm glad for that because the sprint store will trade this bad boy in which make the E3d $50 life is good

I was wondering if they have been released yet or the timeframe in which it usually happens..I love my EVO but had to return two so far for various issue's..first one had terrible data speed..returned it..second one ran flawless and a lot better 3/4 g service but had a blown earpiece ..third one which I still have is doing pretty good but I feel still feel may have some early adopter. Bugs..it seems some ppl have great phones while others not so good..so I'm thinking maybe they will be worked out in the next hardware version..is there a way to tell on the box which hardware you have? Or is it luck of the draw.
.
I only had one EVO 4G but bought it months after release..was their similiar problems with it as well? Lastly do you think the people that have issues..(besides obvious hardware issues) will be fixed VIA otas? Sorry if this seems like a dumb question but if they are available I would like to acquire one before my 30 days are up..my 3g still isn't up to.snuff..and after having an e3d with good 3g I feel it may be the phone and not the sprint service alone.
Hardware V2 here with no problems at all.
On all the boxes I seen for the EVO 3d..all of them ended with a uppercase A on the model number.
I've been keeping an eye out, searching for people with an 0003. Haven't found one yet. Don't think they exist yet. If and when they do, I'm just hoping they won't have crooked screens like most of the 0002's.

I bought mine 2 days after it came out, took about another 2 days to get to me and I had a HW 0003.
My first EVO that I bought on launch day was having some issues. Sense reloading, WiFi not disconnecting after I left my house, 3g sucked, battery life wasn't the greatest, and just seemed laggy. The guys at best buy tried argueing with me and said to reproduce the issues. I was able to show them the 3g connection and my WiFi issue. The guys tried telling me the WiFi was because the phone will automatically connect to all open access points. This is where we started to argue for a minute or two. I told them that was BS, we argued for a few seconds then I cut him off and asked, "Are u going to honor your return policy or what?" I hate it when Best Buy employees try to act that they know everything.
Anyways, the second EVO is running great. WiFi acts normal, way less lag, battery has gone for 2 full days without being charged and moderate use. And sense hasn't reloaded one time yet. Im really glad I traded it out for another instead of just returning. I'm going to give it one more week before I root. I'm missing my apps from my OG EVO.

HTC has a built in feature called SmartSync, which disables data after a period of non-use for deep sleep. If you check the dev threads, there's a fix for it, but it requires some smali editing. Some of the more recent roms have it built in. So the whole WiFi/3G disconnect thing is actually a feature believe it or not...lol
I believe I am lucky. Even though there are the multitasking issued, which everyone has, my EVO has never done the loading sense home screen thing... And I run some memory hoggin apps. Grindr, last.fm, maps, xda, browser, mail. Never had the reload show up yet.

im having the light leak issue also.
also the sticker i had was black, like some generic sticker placed over the small clear one that was probably broken already.
i may have been sold one that someone returned. mf's
question: do i have to go to the same store i bought it at to exchange it?
I understand your pain dealing with people that are less knowledgeable than you (a Sprint rep tried to tell me that the SD card on my phone could be what was causing the reception issues if the card was 32gigs, no joke). However, try to understand that most of the time these people are just following instructions set forth by their employers. When things usually start to escalate like that, stay polite and ask for a manager. Believe me, it works better.
Anyway, I'm glad you got a non-defective phone and can start to enjoy it

I exchanged my first EVO LTO for frequent reboots at a Sprint Corporate store, 2nd one perfect!
On my third LTE. Should have kept the first one. Hope the new shipment BB gets is better than the ones they had last week.
First LTE: Dust under glass and slight light leakage
Second: Pixel stuck in on position and screen has the flex/ripple issue when under medium pressure
Third: Has flex/ripple issue as well and wifi on this one and 3 G has been worse than the first two
Next shipment comes in Friday. Crossing my fingers for a GOOD one!
My first was light leakage and second was ripple and all I can find around here all have the ripple, hope this goes away in the upcoming batches...

Omg I would switch to another phone after the first one Wtf is wrong with you guys. There are more superior phones oops did I just say that yes I did.
I had to return my first one as well. I was not getting calls txt or voice mails. Data worked find but nothing else.
exchanged it at best buy, and all my messages came through right away.
I suspect that it was not a phone issue but an activation issue.

You mean like the Galaxy S3, the phone that will have zero problems on launch day? Good luck. My first Evo had a bad pixel, and I am waiting on the replacement. I was going to get the SG3 instead, but after reading the UK SG3 threads, there are a lot of issues. I decided that the Evo is best for me. Whether it is superior or not is subjective.
Yeah, as stated above, it will have issues. Hell, go to the S3 forums here at xda and review the complaints of various folks.
In the end, my EVO is imperfect, but as usual with HTC, software updates will fix these annoyances, so I'll be patient.

I'm guessing you didn't have their Touch Pro? I went Samsung after that. That being said I will never buy another Samsung phone, they don't support their phones for ****. I'm with you though I'll take the minor data drops and wait out HTC patches and the much stronger dev support system..

It is amazing to have the chance to compare two different phones. I ended up unfortunately having that experience after I dropped my brand new EVO LTE in the toilet. My first phone I noticed that it didn't auto dock on my car dock even with the option turned on.
Haven't tried the camera on the new phone but old phone seemed like it didn't take sharp pictures like I was expecting but ones that were more out of focus than really blurry.

my wife dropped her HTC Evo 3D and cracked the screen, she has Insurance so i jumped onto Asurion.com and was going through the Process, i know at times they offer the EpicTouch4G as a replacement, but they were offering her a HTCEVO-Standard, is this the Older HTC Evo 4G? the one she upgraded from a year ago to the Evo 3D, and now they are trying to give it to her as a replacement for the 3D, i understand you get something of equal , but i really consider that a DOWNGRADE, i know it couldnt be the HTC Evo LTE, seems like it would of said something like HTCEVO-LTE or something along that, i could be wrong, anyone know for sure what the HTCEVO-standard is? am i correct at thinking its the HTC EVO 4G?
I'm pretty sure it's the Evo 4G. Call and get something better. Ask for a SG2

Sorry, bad explanation, I hit the power button to turn the screen on and off until I get it to respond. It usually makes it through the ring lock, but then its either unresponsive or acts like there's pressure. Sometimes the capacitive buttons may not work either (actually more like a majority of the time). It happens a lot, like maybe 10-20% of the time I want to use the phone, seems to be getting worse. Maybe I better deal with it before I get locked out...
I'm a little leery of Samsung after my Moment debacle, but I can't deny that the Transform was alright and my wife's Intercept did do the job well. It seems they've made strides for sure.

the extend batteries and accessory options are better and cheaper as well.
and if it wasnt bad enough the Epic 4g Touch has the better and faster chipset than the TMO S2.

Yes, you should get a Galaxy S2 replacement!
Asurion replaced my Evo3D with a GS2 on June 5. It wasn't a refurb, it was brand new. The GS2 was the only choice I had, and I was really upset until I received it. I loved my Evo3D! I miss the 3d and the Sense UI. :crying:
I'm really happy with the Galaxy S2 now tho, especially the USB storage.
I wouldn't have taken the Evo4G, either -- that's b.s! Good luck to the people with future 3d accidents! Insist on the GS2 and don't accept less!
(I had dropped the Evo3D on the street getting out of my car, in Texas, in 105°! I didn't notice for 30 minutes, and it cooked the bottom buttons, (home-menu etc.)

Samsung/Sprint borked the shat out of the ICS update for this phone, ppl are saying they think it's deliberate so we'll just go out & buy the S3 lol, but since kernel source was released too, we now have a source built kernel for CM9 & we're about to be official, this is definitely the best time to own a E4GT!

Unfortunately I have to depart the 3D community.
My 3D died, No signals at all, No 3G, 1X nothing at all.
So I've done everything I could to revive it, but after all and all, took it to the sprint store, asurion warranty stepped in, and their giving me a Samsung Epic 4G touch by tomorrow hopefully.
But I'll still be around, and if anybody needs help with their 3D, I'll help all I can.

screw that. I'd get another 3D phone. hehehehehehehe. now when they coming out with a Verizon Evo 3D Quad core processor with 4GB Ram, 16GB Rom, Expandable SD card slot, with a hologram projection screen? Oh and It needs to supply me with hot girls I can make lots of babies with.
It's unfortunate that your phone is dead, and imho even worse that they gave you a Crapsung product. Why the change? Are they completely done with the 3d? I thought they would have at least given you the EVO LTE.
I'm sorry, but goodbye threads generally turn into flamebait. I'll leave this open for a little while, but I will close it shortly.
I would too stick with the 3D. Just got a replacement yesterday from the Sprint store. if your warranty is out you could've have went to HTC, but that takes three weeks.
See you anyway

Yea, the samsung got delayed too, It's on backorder I guess. Thinking about either calling a manager at asurion and ask for a better replacement since I was told at the time they had it in stock.
The only thing I can say good about samsung is their source releases and Steve Kondik working for them.

Impatiently waiting for the Note 2.
i just got a white e4gt brand new in a box from asurion. i only had the e3d for 3 weeks. it was a replacement for an epic 4g(slider). ive really come up in the last month!! the evo3d they gave me had light spots all over the lcd. they bugged me, so i called them and said i didnt feel like this phone was even close to new feeling,(witch a refurb really should.) being out of stock, they had me an epic touch here over night.
equal but different, the epic touch was way easier to root. i had a custom rom and colonel within 30 minutes of having it.

I have experience with the e4gt, One of my friends has it and I rooted it for him.

Unfortunately I have to depart the 3D community.
My 3D died, No signals at all, No 3G, 1X nothing at all.
So I've done everything I could to revive it, but after all and all, took it to the sprint store, asurion warranty stepped in, and their giving me a Samsung Epic 4G touch by tomorrow hopefully.
But I'll still be around, and if anybody needs help with their 3D, I'll help all I can.

I'm out this piece too. I can't wait to get another phone. Hell I'm gonna start an insurance claim today to get me a SGSII
Officially bailed today.
Rooted with jellybeans.

While I still have my 3d, I had to put it out to pasture, RSA keys went bye bye, so no more 4g, but on the bright side I'm rocking a Galaxy Nexus now.

Congrats, looking forward to the day I can bail from the 3d and sprint, had very poor service for over a year and frankly the childish drama in the cdma 3d side is old. Waiting patiently for the new nexus phones due later this year. Then off to better things

Damn dude yeah you really came up lol, had mines for almost 2 months, got it as a replacement also when my 3D was stolen at work, I'm loving this phone & haven't missed my 3D one bit, & also official CM9 is imminent!

I got my e4gt Played with jellybeans but switched back to FG31 with custom kernel. It was a refrib from Asurion tho, and the back didn't fit correctly. The nice sprint store near me was able to give me a fitting back for free.

Wow they're sending refurbs now as replacements? Mines was brand new, but I haven't flashed any of the JB builds yet, heck I'm still waiting for CM9 to become fully stable, right now I'm just running stock FF18 rooted with agat kernel & placebo script.

Hey guys, I've got the opportunity to buy a basically new EVO 4G LTE from a friend for $150.
Are you still happy with your phones?
I've got a Touch Pro 2 right now and am getting tired of it, I think it's time for an upgrade, LOL!
I would really like to get the One or S4, but don't have the funds for either of them just yet, still a student. :crying:
I can't do any savings with contracts on new phones either because I am planning to BYOSD over to Ting.
Yeah definitely should this phone has some great development and is very smooth and powerful. It will do anything you need and it has one of the best screens around. Enjoy it you want regret it.
I'd go for it, especially if you're not on a carrier that subsidizes...that's a good price. I haven't seen any pricing for the One but it will easily be upwards of $600 retail and it's not enough of an upgrade over the evo (imo)...this is a solid phone. Most people will be waiting for the next round of phones, which gives you plenty of time to save up for one You will be more than happy with your evo until then.

Not everyone does but i've searched and some others do so u never know
No issues with mine...it's a great phone that I think could last the normal user an extended period of time. Unfortunately for my gadgets, I have an uncontrollable desire to have the latest and the greatest so the One will soon (hopefully) be replacing my Evo LTE.
Maybe I'll pass it on to my gf to replace her sgs2 e4gt
compared to the touch pro 2, the evo lte will seem like the best phone ever made even if it has a bunch of issues. I paid 200 for a used one about 2 months ago and it's been totally worth it. the camera is amazing at how quickly it snaps pics.
I have had my evo LTE since launch day May 2 I think it was and have not has ANY problems with it.. This phone is great You will always find someone thats says they have problems with this or that but it like that with any phone out there.. Get this phone u will love it!! screen's nice.. battery lasts all day for me.. Its hella fast.. Smash's the galaxy s3 in benchmarks!! Camera is good.. Build quality is super good.. Feels solid in hand.. I would jump all over that deal
Wow, you definitely should!! I had the Touch Pro 2 also, but that was many years ago, and many devices since then! You'll love the Evo LTE, especially compared to the outdated TP2!!!

Thanks for all the advice guys. I ended up getting the phone for $120, pretty good deal I think, for minty condition.
The kickstand was a little loose, so I used the paperclip trick on the small little bolt. I hope that it doesn't come loose again.
I was thinking about putting a dab of Loctite or superglue on it?!?!
Now I just gotta find a slim case for it, I was thinking about Diztroic's TPU case.
Get that case. I got it as soon as I got my phone and still use it. Enjoy your phone

My call quality it perfect I've even called with noise around me nd they can still hear me. I think people with call quality issues are running aosp or they messed up their Mic since there's been a few people that messed up their mics already

my only complaint is the speaker..it's a joke. i blew my speaker the first month i had mine, and a replacement on ebay is ~$20. oh well finally cracked my screen (it's got a really strong screen! but i am abusive) and to replace that is only $35, cheaper than an otterbox lol. i just wish i could put an iphone speaker in it, but i'm not willing to be the first
