ditto the ditto Got scared yesterday though. When the Red ring started to peel away. went back to sprint he said do you want a new one? Reply. You can't just give me a back cover? Sorry but 3D camera works great both in good focus, I have the White whites. runs flawlessly. so no unless I can hand select my new one No... Long story short. he walks in back teck hands him a new back out the door I went.
Mine rubs great. Camera switcher button thing a bit loose....but so is the 5 different display models I have seen.
I might have to exchange mine though... Mine is starting to do some freaky things with my widgets and a hard reset didn't fix the problem... I'm scared to trade it in though because it is perfect!
Edit: well it was perfect.

First 3vo had ****ty call quality. No one could understand me.
This second one seems like a keeper.

Hmm... Did anyone return theirs because of scrolling lag in the market and some apps? It's annoying as hell
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
First phone's battery was exteremly hot, to the point where I couldn't even hold it without discomfort.
Second and current phone keeps rebooting and turning off randomly. I also noticed today that the screen dims in and out regardless of battery level.
Going to exchange on Monday. Hopefully the whole local sprint store's stock isn't all messed up. If replacement doesn't work for me then I will probably sit on my upgrade for a bit.
I've not had any reason to replace this. I doubt I will have to take it back more than my epic. 8 times.

The screen seems to dim randomly because you probably have Auto Brightness on.
Why would you return your phone because it lags a bit when you scroll in a list? Rediculous.
Edit: My phone ran perfectly from the box. Now I'm running it soft root and overclocked to 1.8 GHZ and it hasn't even flinched.
Too bad our phones are put together by poor underpaid workers in Asia. Otherwise, our experiences would have been a lot more similar. :/
From my 3VO
Wierd
My phone was absolutely perfect, but lately when I call my parents in Chicago they can't hear me -- keep breaking up -- as I travel 270 South from Olive to 255 and Telegraph in St. Louis, MO. Now today I charged it fully overnight, used it maybe 30 minutes total today, and when I went on my next break, it was HOT and DEAD! This is making me mad! I will try the charger to see if just dead battery or if entire unit is dead, but this light usage is unacceptable to me with a full charge even if the battery just died.
On my 2nd e3d. As soon as it got put in my hands on launch day at radio shack I looked the screen over and had a pixel out. I have come to expect this from now on, as my launch day vizio 50 inch (on my 4th one now), htc touch, eVo, and eVo 3d all had this problem. Sucks but I wasn't even pissed about the 3d cause I knew it was gonna happen. This e3d is perfect though.
Swyped from my eVo 3d
On second on here, first wouldn't reboot only power off.
Sent from my PG86100
On my 2nd - first one froze with a weird white line down the right side of the screen. Wouldn't power up or down, couldnt get into recovery. Sprint customer service was sweet though, they gave me a new one on the spot.

I have around 4 stuck pixels. They show up on grey screens as little light dots. Gets kind of annoying watching movies when and such. Tried the jscreen fix from the market but no luck.
Is this pretty normal? What's Sprint/htc policy? Just wondering if every phone has a few. Thanks in advance?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Take it back, tell them you want an exchange due to screen defect. If it's one lone pixel I can see it being dismissible but a cluster is not good.
In the general market they usually have a dual standard.
up to X amount of pixels bad is considered within tolerance however if the pixels are adjacent then the threshold is lower so it would fail quality control.
If they give you grief just ask for a refund and rebuy it
Take it back. Its defective. They will replace it

i turned on camera in dark room and i see like 3 pixels blue/green
has anyone tried that?
i tried my friends , turning on camera in completely dark room and didnt see any pixel issues
I have found from all these devices it is pretty common to see a stuck pixel here and there. I think you have to decide how bad it is or isn't. Sure you can exchange it but then you have to keep worrying if the next one will be worse and it will then become a never ending cycle!
this is true

Curious what you re going to do? I have 1 tiny one on the side of the phone that is only noticeable in a dark room on a black background. On the fence on what to do....I went through this with my TP2 and went through 4 phones and ended up keeping the best one of all of them but still had a stuck one. Just wasn't as bad as the other 3.

That program didn't fix my issue and with the other program I noticed a total of 4 all generally in the center of the screen. I am going to have Sprint exchange and see what happens on the next one. Since yours is in the corner I would let it slide.

Good idea. I stopped by the store today and they just about laughed me and my 5 stuck pixels out of the building.....tossers.
They ran a "test" and said everything was fine and a few stuck pixels were fairly normal. I called sprint and they offered a new phone that should be here Monday. Kudos to sprint!
Hopefully the new one doesn't have the same problem.

I've been getting random reboots.
3 times since I got it. Since yesterday this thing has been freezing and locking up and just frustrating the crap out of me.
I haven't taken any ota cause I want root.
Thanks for any input.

Take the OTA
Root was achieved on a device that already had the ota. I took it and my phone works great.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
the reccomendation, however, is to not take any further OTAs. I personally am not taking any... because I don't know if the new hboot prevents a downrev to the eng hboot.

Yeah I would wait until s-off. Root will be here soon try a factory reset
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide
I'd rather be guaranteed root than an ota. I'd try a hard reset first.
Damn. Too late. But I got the ota that made the phone disappear from the lock screen so I think I'm safe. I wont take anymore.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The ota has nothing to do with the freezing. I had the ota and the same thing kept happening to me. I took My phone back and got a new one. This time I didn't take the ota and I don't have any issues. I think some of the phones are just buggy. If you have a 3vo then you have one out of the first batch. HTC makes great phones, but they don't always get it right. Remember how buggy the TP and the TP2 were.
I got one of the phones with no dead pixels and stuff. I don't wanna risk taking it back and getting one even worse.
After the ota things feel much better. Let's see if the same thing happens. If it does, any ideas what to do? Wait for root and put a better rom? Or get it replaced?

So I guess the person I spoke to is full of ****. I called Sprint yesterday to get a replacement and I was told once you replace the phone during the first 30 days, you cannot get another replacement. I see he is a liar since you already got 3.
It's not YOUR fault if the phone came defective.

It was Sprint customer service that I spoke to. Took me 3 different people to finally send me a replacement. The first two were telling me I needed to go into a Sprint store to have the moron tech in the back "look" at it. I know the phone is having problems, I dont need this guy to tell me that. What also pissed me off was my friend telling me he was on the phone with them for 10 minutes and had a new phone on the way. I kept getting the run and around and wanted to choke someone. Customer service is definitely good, but they have a few morons here and there.
My phone suffers from the not sleeping issue, so I asked customer support about replacing it. I asked what would happen if the replacement I got also ended up being defective, and they told me that I could get it replaced again.
I'm just scared of getting one that's worse than what I have. The sleep issue is the only big problem. My screen is also slightly rotated and is a little warmer in colors, but those aren't tooooo major. No dead pixels or anything. I just hope my replacement has no issues at all. I can deal with the warmer colors on the screen, but that's as far as I'd want it to go.
Now after two hard resets my phone is stuck in 3D mode. After wiping ENTIRE phone twice my camera won't work LOL. Weird thing is, soon as I hit camera there's just a black screen, then I switch over to 3D it puts my ENTIRE rom in 3D. I'm not joking. The homescreen and everything is doubled and fuzzy like the 3D is stuck. Im so disappointed with this phone I don't what to say......screw the 3rd phone man I don't even want a third one. P.S I'm typing this on the new 3D feature the xda app has that I wasn't aware of :rolls eyes:

Anyone ever get the rattling fixed caused by the 3D button the rattle is inside the phone mine got worse as time went on still have 4 days left till I either keep it for good or swap to another phone love the new EVO 3D wonder if anyone got sprint to fix there's.
Also when i ordered mine thru Sprint launch day phone when it came in the mail it was already opened. Weird since never seen that before even on my og EVO I ordered .
The net speeds are also slow as hell compared to the EVO not my area dunno why .
Hope sprint can fix the issue or give me a new unit . Sucks lol.

Hey Reaper, how goes my friend! Every one I've had have rattled, every demo I've looked at also! Sprint won't start cracking them open until the 30 day mark, right around July 22. Hopefully they can do something about it. It's not that big of a deal, unless in your case it gets worse, but it is annoying...$600 device shouldn't rattle, still lovin the device though!

Actually, the first two I bought at one particular store. Then thinking maybe I would try a different store's stock, I proceeded to a different one and was met with some d-baggery by the sales guy saying I could only exchange it once. Went to the store close to my work and was in and out with a new one in ten minutes. That store has always treated me well. Should've just went there to begin with...

I wouldn't call it a "hardware defect" as you say, alot of electronics that use those sliding style switches have some rattle/looseness to them. Just look at any PSP or a DSLite/DSi/3DS all the slide switches make noise. I'm not saying it's not annoying, because it is, but I am saying live with it because I think they are all gonna do it...just my opinion.

You're probably right, it is what it is. Reaper might have a problem phone if it has gotten significantly worse though.
Reaper, go to a Sprint store and compare to the demo. If your phone is worse then grab one of those brilliant Sprint employees and make them swap it. That's where I'd start!

Not the switch somethin inside the phone itself hardware issue lol not a switch lol. Mine ratttles like a meth baby playing with a rattle as the other guy said its not normal to have a phone rattle this bad.
EVO 04 hardware in the past had all issues fixed hope they fix the 3D up.
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.

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.

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

Which roms have this built in? I returned my EVO recently and my new phone has the same wifi problems. I would like to try a rom before returning the phone again.

Was watching the raven on phone at work last night and had to turn brightness up high since its so dark. Noticed about 50 little white dead pixels all over the screen.
Anyone else have this? Checked this phone when I first got it and no dead pixels at all. Makes me mad I've taken so good care of this phone. The display is ruined now for me.
I know now that the raven sucks and this display burns out too quick for whatever reason. Never had this issue with any other phone.
You need to return that thing, it's clearly defective. And as far asa burns out too quickly? That's obviously an opinion not based on facts... I have had my LTE since May, no dead pixels. Not one.
Word of friendly advice, when you take that jacked up phone back to the store for an exchange.... Before you leave with the replacement, go to the market and get the dead pixel tester, run it before you leave the store.
I'm just gonna keep it. Already s-off and all that, this is my 3rd EVO LTE. Can only see it when the screen is black and brightness is all the way up.
I'm really leaning towards getting a *gasp* Samsung for my next phone. I love HTC and sense, but there are so many issues with this phone u need to mod, dwnld app to fix phone, flip into/out of airplane mode to get data, and not to mention my first 2 exchanges.
Sorry this is so "ranty". This phone is like that super hot/cool girlfriend that has crazy issues that really get on your nerves, but u keep her around bc she is there and you've been thru too much w to get rid of kinda thing.

It is going to bother you when the room is dark. I've had 3 evos so far due to dead pixels, the third one was prefect. You can downgrade the hboot now and obtain s-off so there is no reason not to find the perfect device.

displays are where HTC sucks. I've been through about 8 replacement G2s , and literally only one or two didn't have any dead pixels , and those have touch response problems. heck even one of the replacements came in the mail with a burnt-in display.

This one didn't have dead pixels when I first got it. I remember checking it. Best buy ***** wouldn't let me check the other phones, said I had to take the one she pulled put. I asked y and she said it will start activating when she turns it on. God that pissed me off she is either stupid or I am for letting her get away with that comment.
Needless to say, this one was perfect then. So that means over time a new one will only burn out like this too. Probly just wait until it gets really bad before I exchange it. Everything else is great. Feel lucky.
I had this issue and had it fixed thru HTCs warranty. It bothered the crap outta me lol

Wow I have owned quite a bit of HTC devices. Even since the HTC apache! The only phone I have ever had a problem with was the evo3D and the digitalizer not being accurate.
I am now on my first evo4glte since launch and have not had a single issue except browser reloads on the stock shipped rom.which made me split decision with a galaxy s3. But to be honest , after rooting both devices I find the evo more fun to play with. And has never gave me any sort of issue. Wifi/3g works as it should. Nothing ever reloads,the screen is still amazing with no dead pix or blurring of the screen.
I'm sorry some of you guys are so unfortunate to end up with 2+ replacements,giving you a bad experience with HTC. Some devices come defective even the iphone5 & sgn

If you're getting exchanges that aren't new, the reason why you're seeing so much crap is because the refurbs aren't repaired or checked carefully at all.
My replacements were brand new phones. Didn't even have refurbs then, was in early June, early July. Got my first EVO on release day.
So, I just discovered that I have a dead pixel. Can only see it when when the screen is black. It's only one that I can see. Is it worth trying to get a replacement or getting it fixed? Can't they replace the screen?
