I couldn't take it anymore...Back to EvO4G - HTC EVO 3D

I tried to deal with the issues but HTC's quality control has went downhill. From the beginning.. it was dead pixels, paint missing in the capacitive buttons, yellow, tilted, shifted screens. You can call it OCD or whatever you want but I don't feel I should have to live with these defects for the next 2yrs after paying $200+.
After it hitting 100+ the other day in NYC and the 1 being off the weather lockscreen, I just finally said F this! Maybe Joe Shmoe, non-tech people can live with things being 'off' but I sure as hell can't & won't.
Even Sprint's speeds have took a nose dive. I feel like what is the point of having a top notch phone like this, when the network isn't up to snuff?!?
I do still like the phone and may eventually pick one up down the road, when a new HW version hits the stores. As of now, I'm going to explore my options...even if it's on another carrier.

Well good luck....I'm having no problems with mine...and its been 100+ for the past 50 days here in the heart of Texas
Ulllllllllllltttrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah my 1 is off the screen when its 100+

You must have been really pissed when you walked outside in winter clothes only to realize it was 103, not 03.

Word. Service first, pricing second, phone third. If you dont have good coverage where you are then whats the point of staying with Sprint? As far as the phone goes, yeah there are little issues here and there. I have a slightly tilted screen that I don't even notice anymore. That is the only manufacturing issue I've had so I consider myself lucky. I do have insurance so once a new HW version is released that addresses the tilted screen issue I will just go swap it for a new one in the Sprint store but for now its not crucial. The lockscreen issue is annoying and hard to believe it wasn't noticed/addressed before release; however, I'm not very concerned with it as I will switch to an AOSP ROM once S-OFF is acheived so I can live with it- plus, in Denver it rarely hits 100 degrees, though hits 98 and 99 all the effin time!

Did you then have to go back inside and change out of your winter clothes?
If so, I can surely understand your frustration.

Bet he was the third guy that day to show up at the store dressed for an Alaskan trek wanting to return his phone

God you're right my man, this phone is awful! The screen is so messed up and everything, it's like all the videos and photos I take come off the screen. And when I open an app there's no pause while my phone thinks, it just immediately opens, what's up with that?

Bud, did you even read the title, the op, and anything at all? What the hell is this? I mean, honestly, what the HELL is this? The post has nothing to do with original topic. Plus, reading your run-along paragraph gave me a head ache that no 3d phone could approach.
Beyond that, I see this is your first post in the forums. Frustration aside, I truly mean it when I say welcome to the forums. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I have.
The op can't even post a topic making fun of trolls without trolls POLLUTING IT!

That's what I was getting ready to type. Did any of you read the last line? Lol. (I know some got it, but not most.)
I hate to join the poo-poo party but if we don't see some action soon I'm jumping ship to SGS2 ASAP as well. I got it, I loved it, I got board and fed up with the crap radio strength, jumped to NS4G...loved it besides crap radio strength....went back to E3D with best radio I have seen in one (which still ain't sayin much) love this phone again....now I have one with the best radio I have seen them with and I'm just flippin' bored....and that SGS2 screen (SAMOLED+) not being 16:9 is also gives teh huge bonar. Not to mention it's not sitting in development limbo.
...yeah, honestly, it's mostly about the dev limbo. Also we can't forget Samsung camera @ 8mp. The one in the NS4G was only 5mp (blah blah blah, I know, MP's ain't everything) and it took stunning pix.
This could all change with s-off or something happening soon, but, I'm just effing bored. Oh cool, a fast sense phone....bzzzzt.....soon to be baleeted.

Hey **** bird its called a joke, don't be so uptight. I'm keeping my phone, I love it.
The SGS2 for sprint went past FCC today and most likely with a 4.5IN screen.I love tall phones and if the 4.5 is true ill be way past happy with the SGS2 and i am also glad that after i sent the 3D back in the mail today i do not have to worry about Dev's holding or HTC holding S-OFF over me.
I did not only send it back because of the S-OFF i have other reasons but the whole S-OFF thing with leaked (yeah right leaked lol) youtube of s-off and HTC with there BS i am just glad it is over.And i am still reading the forum till my new phone gets here in 2 days.
Wish you guys the best with the 3D i would go back to it if all the other fail but that waits to be seen.

It takes stunning pics because of the sensor. You say you know, but you try to still justify it because of more mega pixels..

No, I never tried to justify it based on MPs. That is just icing on the already delicious cake...though past 5mp it's really diminishing returns...besides, that was not why the NS4G took stunning pictures. The sensor (and likely the lense) are of higher quality than HTC's (notoriously bad) camera setups.
...though the E4G had the same sensor as the Iphone4. Food for thought.

I'm sure the lens also played a role in it. That seems like a very Apple thing to worry about. Frankly I'm shocked more mfgrs don't pay attention to it. A tiny amount of extra R&D and even tinier increase in cost would yield so much better results...
....but then that wouldn't afford them accolades. Then people just wouldn't ***** about it. People don't say anything when something performs up to their expectations, only when it doesn't. Some people would think this was more a problem with people's expectations than with the hardware or R&D process...I'm on the fence. Overly suggestive advertising does a lot to dissuade me from siding with the mfgr on that one...

Happy New Years!

I won't be online because I am having a monster Party at my house. I already spent $385 just on alcohol, and I am not the only one providing, lol.

I make lots of preparations. Besides I have 2 x2 car garages that are heated and have floor drains. Everyone will be in the garage/kitchen, or in the basement which I just ripped the carpet out of playing pool. Not only that, but this is invite only. No one under 21 allowed, no one I don't trust in my house any other time. I went to a high school with 5,000 students, most of the people coming are my friends from other schools lol.

Take it back. Why would you keep something with an obvious defect when they will exchange it with hardly an explanation? Walk in an tell them what's wrong and you'd like an exchange. They will do it.
It may very well be a dead pixel. Dead pixels are not all that rare. I'd say go to/call sprint and say you want a replacement. Who knows how long it will take for you tovget one though.
I would definitely bring it back....it does look like a dead pixel. I had the same problem with my old 2g iPhone and after a few months of use the dead pixel went straight across the screen overnight. Dont wait just tell them you are not satisfied and want a new one. At least you know too that you wont be getting a refurb this early in the game.
i just called 2 stores and they dont have any in stock =(

That's the only problem with 'take it back', you might have to wait a while. Its not that easy. Sprint stores still have preorders they need to fill as well (which they haven't done yet).
Agreed, swap that sucker out. Good luck on finding one though.. Hopefully the stock issues will get taken care of swiftly.
I had to return my OG evo within the first 30 days because it had the crack by the power button on the casing. Turns out, most of them eventually did this, but they replaced it and before they were giving out refurbs.

If you call them they will drop ship you one just as easily too...I'd call around and see if the stores have any in stock(not likely though)....If not just call and you'll get one shipped to ya for less hassle for going into the store and likely just as fast if they dont have any in stock right now at the store...
Im waiting at my Best Buy. They said that they are having issues adding the phone to my plan. Anyone else having issues?

SERO plan or something equivalent to that like the EPRP ones?....If so you'll have to get a very very nice customer service rep to do it for you b/c evidently your only supposed to order phones through sprint on those plans...ran into this last year with my 3D and the rep said 3rd party just doesn't have the ability to do it...b/c they are basically employee plans...

Ooh look at me, I've got my new phone. And it works great....... lucky.
I called telesales who transferred me to tech support, and tech support told me that for screen defects I would need to take the phone into a store to swap it. Of course, none of the local stores have any stock.

I got told this as well for my proximity sensor problem. They told me they are not allowed to just ship another phone out... such bull****.
I have a similar spec of dust under the screen in mine. It's so small I barely notice it. Unless there are more serious issues with the device, i'm not going to lose sleep over it or bother returning it.
This spec is only noticeable on a white background. I'm not OCD enough to be bothered by this When viewing the phone in a bright environment (outside), you don't see it at all. Having a spec of dust under the screen protector is much more noticeable than this.

Son of a......

Well, my 17 month old got mad at my phone because it wouldn't play his YouTube video .....so he threw it onto the tile floor. Needless to say, I now have 2 cracks that run diagonally across the screen. Its still useable, but I want to fix it. Anyone have an extra screen or broken phone they're willing to part with...or know a place I can get a replacement screen on the cheap? Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I should only need to replace the glass correct?

This is the exact same panel I purchased, one of the cheapest options I found. Most others I saw are $40-$50.
The one customer review on there does warn the panel they received had white softkeys; that sounds similar to the non-Verizon branded panels with only the HTC logo up in that top spot instead. Seen a couple of those on Developer handsets and for sale. Unfortunately, the review is silent on that logo matter. Red Sharpie can color softkeys, can't fix logo issue.
That said, my order from them looks perfectly stock, both logos and red softkeys.
Something to consider if you have the phone under contract and must keep it looking stock after repairs.
um i just got FREAKED OUT... i dropped my screen a month ago and my screen almost looks EXACTLY like that... i have an extra crack connected to the big two.... freaky
EDIT: i would take a pic but i dont have a camera and my droid x2 is on a rom without a working camera...
Awesome, thanks for the replies gents. I can deal with it not looking the same so long as there isn't huge cracks in it

Not to be intrusive, but why would you give your baby a smartphone?
You certainly have much more trust than me.

I think all those who don't have kids are thinking "Why the hell did you let them touch your phone?" and all of those people who have kids are going "Whew you got lucky I'm so glad the damage wasn't worse."

I dropped mine the other day from about breast pocket height, it hit the concrete, bounced and finally landed screen face down. When it was all said and done all that was damaged was a small scuff on the corner where it hit. That was my yearly allotted amount of luck I suppose.
Anyways, I really only commented to say thank you for your service Gunny. I did 10 U.S.Army, medically retired for combat related back injuries. Salute to you.
Sorry about the phone, hope you can get it fixed soon.

Well, my son is fascinated by all of our electronics....his first favorite toy was a USB cable. He has an old Eris that I gave him, but whenever he sees the opportunity to grab mine or my wife's phones or tablets, he does. Case in point, he actually just grabbed my electric razor, while I was holding him and posting this...

My parents always thought I was going to electrocute (yes, i spelled it wrong) myself before I was 5.
WHen I was about 4 years old, I was in the hospital to have my tonsils taken out.
My dad was a doctor and worked in that hospital so we knew everybody there.
While I was waiting to go in the operating room one of my dads buddies said "here little man, play with this for a while" and handed me some piece of surgical equipment (I have no idea what it was now years later).
I took it all apart and when they came to retrieve it nobody could figure out how to put it together again. I overheard one doc say "I didn't even know those things came apart"............
