10,000 to 100,000 assuming no wear leveling is used.

What over 9000, impossible!

Why would you think a certain number of flashes would cause a brick?

I just picked up my third evo3d because of this exact thing. If they threaten to send it in threaten to return it and they will give you a new one. Its that simple.
So, yes. you can get another one.
I took my first one back for really bad light leakage I get this one back and there's a dead pixel right smack in the middle. I couldn't really see with all the light outside but I just noticed it. FML

Just as loose.....I swear my luck is terrible. Now I have a loose slider and a dead pixel. Ehh I guess that's life. I'm not driving back to exchange again eff it. I'll accept my punishment and move on. At least crazy light leakage is gone but at the cost of a dead pixel....

You have the right to return it in the first 30 days. Dont take the employees crap.
Seriously. You have the right to take it back as much as you want till you get a good one as long as you do it in the first 30 days. Just go back and dont take no, if they say it Return the phone and go to a different store.

New OTA soon

Within the next couple days we should get an update, primarily for the green tint a lot of us have ffrom the camera.
If you don't get it within a few days I'd check out the HTC site for it.

Lol dude I know. But it tweaks some other minor issued too. Idk what they include though.
But don't get me wrong, this phone is my favorite by far. And I've had the epic, OG EVO, and the shift. And this kills all those. Dead.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I know it might be too late for this OTA, but I wonder if it closes the exploit to obtain temp root.
Just wondering How and where did you happen to get this info from?
Yeah where's your source.
I still wont touch any updates, im not loosing any chances for full root and unlocked. Ill deal with it, im sure it'll be baked into a custom ROM when theyr'e available.

Can't receive GB update. Help!!

For whatever reason, I'm not getting the update. I going to settings -> software update -> check new and absolutely nothing. I've never rooted my phone neither and its currently running stock froyo. Any suggestions?
Forgot to say I've tried rebooting and checking for the update MULTIPLE times

I would assume you have to wait for the Push to your phone.
Well with the update a couple of months ago I was able to go in through settings and receive it from there. This is kind of frustrating!

That's basically how I feel. But this goes to show why the majority of us run custom ROMs. We don't have to deal with any of this "crap."

Verizon or HTC (dont remember which) around the beginning of the month said the Droid Inc and the Tbolt will be getting GB OTAs by the end of September.

In a vague twitter post? I'm less than impressed with what passes for a reliable source these days. Some, including myself, would laugh at an internet rumor mill as the source of any information. No matter who authored it.

Actually, the VM notification bug has already been fixed as long as you have S-OFF thanks to rootzwiki. Let's see how long it takes them to integrate that fix, assuming they go that route. In other words, if you are using the rooted MR3 OTA then you are good to go. The fix also works on other GB roms as well and I believe Bamf already includes it.

Eh, I didn't really word that right. I just meant that is where people are getting that info. It most likely was a Twitter post or something, but probably from the VZW support account. (which still doesn't hold much weight) In any case I fully agree that putting your faith in internet rumors is not the best plan.

I see your 9 days battery life on your Rezound, and raise you several thousand hours on my Incredible (not photoshopped):
Ok, so I may have cheated a little. Out of curiosity, I flashed a nandroid I had made about a year prior for nostalgia purposes, and the Battery Indicator app thought it had been running on the same charge since then.

It's Battery Indicator Pro. It keeps a notification icon of the % battery left and a few stats in the notification drawer. It doesn't do much else, but it's handy.

I've seen it with my own eyes, he is running standard battery. No service on the phone. He just charged it and unplugged it. I doubt he ever even turned the screen on.
Been sitting idle since he picked up his Rezound haha.

Tired of your battery not lasting long enough?

There's an app for that!
