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.

Media Volume?

For whatever reason, at random times, the media volume of my phone will just flat out mute. Once mute, I am unable to get it up, even through the sound settings, it'll just go back to mute. My only fix so far is to restart the phone, but it gets really annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anybody know why causes it? I did the whole increase volume thing with QPST and made the volume Lv4. I seemed as if everything worked correctly, but I noticed absolutely no change in volume =_=;
First suggestion, get another phone. I had the same problem...

I had it happen.. it happened a lot with my g2x... And anytime I ran cm7 I had to reboot... I'm guessing just a faulty media driver or something else as it doesn't happen often.
Try a to download a different media player (music only obviously) from the market
Or just reboot your phone and increase the media volume in the "settings"
Im sure if its a major bug the developer's will find a fix

My slider is perfect, it snaps and takes the right amount of effort to slide. I've had two of these phones because of a part number mixup, had the first one for an entire weekend and both are perfect, good slider, no dust, light leak or dead pixels.

Fix: Go into Sound settings and change the Sound profile to Normal (preferably before launching the game, but works after-the-fact too, if you forget). Mine defaulted to Vibrate, and it seems that this game is programmed to disable sound (only after the splash screen and intro video, go figure) if it detects this or the Silent profile. Now I can hear the game, for a change.

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.

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.

[QUESTION]

After 4 refurbs I finally got a new phone, went it to Sprint and was going to get another refurb, but they gave me a brand new one. So, I have been extremely observant with this new one, I have noticed when typing my finger press doesn't always register, its only on the left side of the phone in la.escape mode. And sometimes the spacebar doesn't recognize. So i downloaded order and chaos, (wow mobile) and the virtual joystick stutters and doesn't register my finger press. *NOTE* this isn't app based. It happened when clicking on apps from drawer no matter what launcher. I'm wondering if its the digitizer. 4 days oldandth is one fails already. Sick of HTC.
EDIT: good example right there. Meant * 4 days old and this * and landscape*

Just curious... Are you using go locker or some other lock screen? I had stuttering touch response when I was using go locker......
If that's not the case... Then maybe you need it replaced... Again...
I am using golocker. Haha maybe that's the problem. I'll turn it off for a few days and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah let us know how it goes. I really like go locker and I have asked the devs to fix it but I never got a response from them...
Disabling it did the trick. That's so weird. Glad I know a fix, sad an amazing locker has to be disabled. I guess I can just turn it off when gaming ect. Still a bummer. But thanks for the tip!

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.
