That report was written on July 15th so clearly not a three week old article. DON'T BE A ****

I dont get where all the worries came from to begin with. Less they are from people that never had the EVO4G.
Reason I say that is b/c the EVO4G had the same buldge for the camera and was just fine. Theres a slight lip to the outer part of the camera that protects it when resting on the back.
To be honest scratching the camera on my 3D coming from the EVO4G was my absolute last concern.

Not being a ****, and that same email was posted here by someone a few weeks back. Word to word almost. It's published on the 15th doesn't really mean much. Anyways if it helps you then good for you.

I think it is something definitely worth reading, I never knew about it... seems half the community didn't (and the phones only been out for like three-ish weeks now, how was it posted three weeks back?).
I still took active measures to protect it a bit beyond normal, put a PhantomSkinz camera lens protector on it, and I'm a bit more happy to run it nekkid now.

I had the Original Evo and yes my camera lens got scratched because it protruded from the back. It happened from just setting the phone down on it's back without any case. the scratch didn't effect pictures in anyway. The 3V0's lens seems different and nearly unscratchable, but that doesn't mean I won't be careful with it no matter what HTC or anyone else says.

Lol no more negativity , this phone is awesome

One week till launch! Too many iPhone fan boys clogging the xda threads and trying to trash this phone . Dual core, sense 3.0, qHD screen , 1gb of RAM , 4gb internal . That is one beast ass phone. Oh and it does 3D just for giggles. With the devs here at xda this phone will by far exceed everyone's expectations .
BTW you don't I repeat don't have to use 3D its not a gimmick or the whole purpose just a simple feature way too many people are trying to say it is bad.
I'm excited for my first dual core!

Thank you sir. I was getting tired of reading all these negative reviews. Can't wait to pick this up on Friday after work!
Agreed, what's the point of listening to people that have actually used the phone and have provided a critical assessment! No. I'd much rather read off the spec sheet and declare it AWESOME.
Hey, did you see the new Steve Carell movie?
Yes, it was just meh!

No reason to be a smartass. You don't like it, don't get it. The phone itself will be real solid, the 3d might not be, but why concentrate solely on that?

I been on my Instinct since 5 months ago since my Hero was destroyed :/. Anything is better than that so I wont be disappointed with the Evo 3D.
Awesome indeed!!!
I was fortunate enough to pick up an HTC seed unit last night and let tell you. THIS PHONE IS AWESOME!!!
Not even talking about the 3d... which upon first encounter was a bit tricky to get used to, but after shooting over 50 pictures/videos there's a science to getting it right.
The power of this phone lies in the dual core processor, the "super lcd" display, and updated software makes the phone run like a dream.
I was actually not very excited for this phone. I left android for WP7. (say what you may, but I use my phone a lot for work.) I can happily say the Evo 3d has brought me back into the fold...
But in short.. it's definately worth the wait!
What was your impression of the 2D pic quality (in relation to
4g?
Thanks

Honestly, the 2D picture quality is comprable to the Evo. I had a buddy take a picture of the exact same thing side by side on his Evo 4G. The quality is identical... unless you go full zoom on both devices, in which case the 4G is a winner, but not by a huge margin.
My biggest problem with the camera is the dedicated camera button. It is auto-focuses on light pressure and snaps the picture on the full press. It may just be because I have an otterbox case on it, but I find myself pushing so hard that I make the picture out of focus. Not a major gripe, as I'm learning to have a bit more... "finese" with the camera button. Ironically, I find the dedicated camera button to be EXTREMELY handy aside from my lack of initial nimbleness with it. Here are a few random 2D pictures I took if anyone wants to compare for themselves... and yes, very random pictures, I'm at work and don't have a lot to photograph..
Old Navy sign is no zoom / full zoom from the exact same distance. No zoom picture of a dairy queen cup... yup... I know...

What's wrong with a little positive?
Lol.... Kinda the reason why I posted the thread I did. Just wanted to make sure the devs here know I appreciate their work. They are the true backbones in the android world. Google had the idea first, but the devs over there unfortunately have to design it for everybody, not just us who like to tinker. So that's where communities like this one are so valuable, and why Linux/android was the best idea for smart phones since the smart phone was invented.... Everybody is happy.

Let me put it this way.
Virtually every single issue I had with this phone was software related, and with the 2.3.4 update from HTC, almost all of them are gone.
This phone is great and from a software standpoint, it's almost there too.
HTC EVO 3D 9/10 and easily the best phone I've owned to date.
But then again, so was the EVO 4G and Touch Pro2.
HTC EVO 4G 8/10
HTC Touch Pro2 9.5/10 (while it scored higher, this was due to how awesome HTC Sense and Windows Mobile 6.1 were for me at the time and its worldphone capability. There was nothing I couldn't do with that phone.)

My evo3d has been perfect from day 1.
I never had to do a return, and any issues that I did have, like crummy 3g, etc., were solved after a little reading on my part...(not by taking the phone back six times). Do I have a dead pixel? I don't think so, but if you held a magnifying glass to my phone and told me that I did, I wouldn't be surprised...(same thing goes for my screen possibly being tilted by one pixel as well). I seriously do not get it when I see complaints like that. I don't measure the pixels on a new TV, nor do I measure the carpet trim under the doors when I buy a new car, to make sure the "shag ratio" is correct.
So yeah, I'm still loving every bit (pun intended) of my Evo3d.

Well this is my last post here:(

Well to make a long story short. I shifted my jeep an my phone in the ottervox was on my dash. I had the doors an tip off an bam my phone goes flying by me. I hurried up an pulled around unto a park an ran out on us12 ( a main highway in my town) . The screen was on an I could see my phone unharmed. I was so happy that my otterbox protected it. There ewere cars comin so I waited just as I see a truck switch lanes an run over my phone. I ran out to it pissed off an I see. The screen shattered an dead pixels on the bottom. My otterbox was smashed to pieces an I inspected my phone. The touch still works but the left half of the screen is black. An I can't read the bottom half of my phone. I'm makin a claim an they are sendin me a s2. So I won't be here much longer. I liked this phone too. I'll post pictures later. Just wanted to say my farewells to this forum. See yah later guys!

I'll answer your question with a question.
Why do people start useless farewell threads?
Farewell threads are troll bait and really are not needed. I'm not a fan of them if you can't tell. I'll leave this open for the time being, but you can expect it to close at some point (because undoubtedly the trolls will come).
And side note, too bad they gave you a Crapsung device, If my only option was an iPhone or a Samsung, I'd take the iPhone and I hate Apple with such a passion that every time I even see an apple in the grocery store I want to blow the place up, but I hate Samsung even more, they make crap phones. I've owned a couple Samsung phones and they've all been total feces, wouldn't work half the time and the other half they locked up.

Could you try making a coherent post please? This one makes no sense whatsoever.

Who is keeping their One despite gap gate issues?

My One has a modest gap along most of the top, and you can feel the screen jutting out a bit when you swipe down the notification drawer. But I wouldn't have even noticed these issues if it wasn't for the nitpicky bastards on this forum pointing out every tiny imperfection.
I don't have any dead pixels or other problems, so I'm going to ignore the tiny physical defects and keep my phone instead of returning it 50 times only to get one with different or worse issues.
Who's with me? :thumbup:
I'm very satisfied with my phone, but I still might check back into ATT on day 10 or so to see if new stock is improved.
I have small gaps on top and bottom and screen overhang on my top left corner. It's still the most finely crafted phone I have ever owned.
I think the gap issue is way over blown by the OCD nerds on XDA. I'm sure my phone has flaws but I keep it in its case and I don't spend time just staring at it.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I have the common very slight gap on the top, but I'm keeping my One. There's no use exchanging the phone and maybe getting a worse unit in return. I don't even notice it if I'm not specifically looking for it. My One is in a case, anyway. I've been an iPhone owner for years and I get tired of this "OCD" crap and "I've exchanged my phone fourteen times" every time a phone is released.
Definitely will be returning due to gap gate and the top of the screen sticking out. Will probably wait until the end of the period to see if new stock arrives with fixes to these issues.

That's insulting to someone who really (painfully) suffers from OCD.. Hint.
I have two very small gaps, the screen is recessed at the bottom, and is raised at the top. All very minor. No dead pixels. But I do have a very small piece of some sort of fiber behind the screen. Can't see it during normal use because it is located where the battery indicator / time is located. However, it is clearly noticeable when I turn the screen sideways.
I wish there was some sort of way to move it out. Probably going to exchange it.

Of all the hundreds of posts and reviews I'd read and many HTC's viewed pre-release, this issue was rarely mentioned. It's a mature piece and very well done..actually top of the bunch IMO.

I put that guy on my block list a while back.. The only reason I see what he wrote was because you quoted him..
He has issues!
Report his offensive post, block him and enjoy the phone!
"Gap Gate" isn't a big enough issue to warrant taking my phone back, I think. Certainly not the metal, anyway. The screen overhang is annoying to me (when I notice it - which is almost never in typical usage), but I think I can handle it.
The only thing making me consider returning my phone during the 14-day window is the option to get the developer edition instead. Knowing damn well that AT&T will screw us with updates leaves a very bitter taste in my mouth. I haven't done it yet in the event that the latest software update for the International ROM is for stuff that's already included in the AT&T version, but I'm quite tempted. The fact that international ROMs will work on the AT&T model is the other thing that's holding me back. I just don't want to get into the business of flashing such and such an update all the time if I don't have to. I'm almost certainly going to be staying on a stock ROM of some sort, if only to keep camera functionality (my One XL is using a stock-based ROM right now for just this reason -- the camera is important to me).

The purpose is to create a thread where people say they ARE staying and that all the talk of gap gate is limited to a few perfectionists who can't deal with even the slightest "defect."

Except that it's yet another thread with "gap gate" in the title. It's not a conspiracy! Do you really think HTC is doing it on purpose? Need to let that term die.
Hey, how come Andrew gets to get up? If he gets up, we'll all get up, it'll be anarchy!
I keep going back and forth on this. I have a small gap on the top and virtually no gap on the bottom. I also have a small nick in the aluminum between the bottom speaker and the screen, right on the corner. I have an overhang on the top and the bottom too. I'm worried if I go exchange it, I'm going to end up with something worse, or with dead pixels or something.
Part of me wants to exchange it and get a developer edition as I think the build quality is overall better on those. Part of me wants to just forget the very minor defects I have and keep it. I only have 2 more days to make my decision though as my 14 days will be up. It's such a great phone overall though.

On my fourth M8 phone.

Dealing with AT&T has been a pain. The first three devices had a flaw or the other.
1. 1st device had scuffs and scratches and a fully sunken in volume rocker. I'd had to force my fingernail into the volume rocker housing to trigger a response.
2. 2nd one kept rebooting on itself and would show me an exclamation point.
3. 3rd one wouldnt charge past 95% and the speaker grill was raised and wasn't flush with the device.
If anyone has to exchange more than once AT&T will give you a hard time about it, but you reiterate to them and tell them clearly that the device was DOA out of box and/or defective.
This 4th one has been good so far. Crossing my fingers that this one is perfect. Once again I'm disappointed that HTC's device is a beauty, but the quality control has been atrocious. Wonder if it is a batch issue.

Pretty much +1
So that explains why my M8 is on back order lol just kidding!!! Hope you get one that doesn't have problems!
Benefit of the doubt: You're on the losing end of a statistical improbability
Caveat: If you are specifically looking for imperfections you will find them
Hope the next one fits your expectations, spending $650 definitely calls for that
ha just noticed the corners of the screen on mine aren't completely flush with the body. ordered my dev edition from htc.
no biggie in my mind. glad you got it sorted, op.
mine is flawless.
Picked up mine at local att store and it looks great
Mine is very good condition. No issues

My question is, how are people getting unflush speaker grills when there not a separate peice, unless there talking about the whole thing with the speaker holes not being flush.

My first m8 also had an unflush top speaker grill on the right side. It was literally too long to fit on the space provided, but my 2nd is flawless and I am enamored with it.

All three of them had pretty much unacceptable issues. Especially if its a serious hardware issue, the battery doesnt work, etc. If you're paying premium buck for something then you expect it to come out of the box looking and working like a premium device. Im talking strictly out of the box without user error or damage coming into play. I'm not the only one, look at the links i posted.

Yea the videos arent mine, two youtube techies that posted videos of their experience. No need to be a prick, you cared enough and took time to comment on my original post, so I was just responding to you. "Smfh"
Yeah I felt bad for you. 8 hours and not a single reply..
Besides I just said what everyone else was thinking when they read this terrible thread.
In can't wait to get my s5 so I can trade in for the m8. I messed up and jumped on s5 pre-order train not realizing biggest mistake off my life. Lol. Hope its clean. Good luck on your last replacement.

I should edit that to "my biggest tech mistake of my life" LOL. More meant to be of my modding xda ways. I love the phone, hate that they are locking them down. Dont want to wait for a work around. If the HTC was locked I would be stickign with this but now you can unlock the m8 easily I think I have to trade up. I will try both in the store also, if I hate the HTC I wont get it. But for some reason I think Im going to love that metal chassis.
