Dust! - HTC EVO 3D

This is annoying. I just started getting dust under my screen 4 different spots.
Anyone else experience this issue and does anyone know if Sprint would replace or clean it if I bought it from amazon?

They'll clean it. You need to keep in mind everything will build dust overtime. Even the iPhone will haha.

Good deal. I'll probably wait till it gets much worse as its not that bad right. Mainly just annoying.

Oh don't get me wrong, it'll bug the he'll out of me. Do you see it only when a bright light reflects off the screen? Such as the sun or something.

I found some plugs to use when your not charging or listening to music to stop dust from getting in. Go to topicovers.com, costs 5 to ship a 2 dollar item but if you don't like dust its worth it.

Tilted Screen??

I don't usually imagine things, but I hope I am imagining this. Could everyone take a very close look at their screen and see if it seems that the display is slightly tilted to the right? Almost like it is slighty rotated... like by one or two pixels. It would be most noticeable (if you are afflicted) by looking very closely at the upper right corner of the status bar.
Are there any video screen testers to download that would give me a better perspective?
My actual LCD is tilted by 1-2 pixels to the right under the glass. Was the first thing I noticed when I turrned it on and looked at it deadon. Not enough to make me return it, but it's BARELY noticeable. Had the same issue with a refurbed OG Evo from Sprint when mine broke.
Then again, I have perfect vision and I pay attention to the smallest and dumbest details.
is your 3d/2d switch loose front to back?
j/w b/c mine is and it bugs the crap outa me. also noticed the screen seemed to be recessed a tad more in the top right. but thats me nit picking really.
I thought I was going insane when I noticed this, its barely noticeable but I knew something felt off, especially if I looked right at the top by the status bar like the OP said. .

Yes, this is exactly how mine is. But I am not usually picky about this kind of stuff and it is bugging the crap out of me. I am debating on returning.
mines like that I thought the 3D was making me cross eyed

Can't be. Mine is fine and I'm very picky about build quality.
Mine is like this too.
Thankfully I didn't get one. I'm going to wait for newer hardware builds or a better offering from Sprint. I would take it back if its noticeable.
Maybe I don't know what to look for, but my screen looks perfectly fine.

I have hw 002. After I read the OP, mine looked off. However, I think it's just an illusion. From my high "technical" exam, all four corners appear fine in of themselves. It's only when I look at the clock in relation to the rest of the bar does it start looking off.

Dropped mine from 5 feet... Ouch

So i dropped my prime from 5 feet (My hand) to the ground and it landed face down. I was pretty shocked that it survived without a scratch
I think it fixed some of the light bleed too...
5 ft from your hand to the ground? Dayum you are one tall person! I dont think I will try that fix for light bleed.

Im a giant compared to everyone else around here.
Unless you are using your nose to point and swipe on the glass, 5ft? even at you being 6'1"
i was getting lunch and trying to switch hands.
I think i would have rather dropped my lunch though.
Apparently that drop didn't hurt as much as the last update lawl

Can we document the Light Bleed fix?
Seriously this reminds me of the old (really dating myself here) MFM and RLL Hard Drives. About the size of a Belgium Block Brick, and nearly as heavy. We would get ones in that the platters waarped and were unreadable. The fix? Drop them straight down, onto a carpeted cement floor. It would make a huge "WONK" sound, and at least half the time, the platters would now be aligned enough to back the sucker up. All 5 or 10 MEGABYTE of it. Imagine, you could fit an ENTIRE MP3 song on those suckers (if the Bitrate was kept low.)
Thanks for the fond memories. And super good luck the Prime survived it. There was a guy who posted in the first week these were shipping at the end of December who said his Prime fell off a stack of towels 2 feet onto a carpeted floor, and his screen went dark. It was running, just no display. That should help indicate further how lucky this. Turned out for you.
Not one scratch on the Gorrila Glass? Have you inspected it closely? That part is truly amazing.

But no, not a single scratch.
Reminds me of how the old commodores (I think?) Came with instructions to drop it to get the RAM chip back into place because it would pop loose during shipping.

Over a year ago, I dropped a 5lb weight from 7ft in the air onto my iPod Touch that was on top of my Samsung Instinct phone. Little to say, both of them were bent in half. :/

This thing doesn't look like it could stand it. But not many tablets do.

Just bought one and already had to exchange

Today I went to best buy to buy this because they price matched letstalk to 199$. The woman I delt with sighed and ughed the whole time. Really rude. I ended up adding a line. Burning a sim. And moving the phone to my main line to get the upgrade.
Now I noticed this when I got home but im disappointed in build quality. I dont know if it was me snapping the back cover back on. But the top of my screen was loose. And the bottom leaked light from the leds because well..the glue holding the screen clearly was not that good. I immediately called back and was upset and went to exchange and now im all fine.
But now im paranoid about snapping back in my back cover. How cheaply made is this thing? Anyone run into hardware issues yet? Best buy has a 30 day exchange policy. Thank god.

im referring to the bottom of the phone, when the leds were lit up, you saw on the side of the phone light leakage, and on the top of the phone if you pushed down gently on any corner the screen was loose.
Sounds like a bad device. I haven't had any problems and since there aren't many threads about it, I'd say that other users aren't having problems either.

i just hope this isnt a common issue, i don't want it to happen to this one as well.
They wouldn't give me a price match to letstalk
I can assure you that this is NOT a normal issue with this phone... But, if you don't think something is right about it then you have every right to exchange! It's YOUR money and if your not happy then exchange away...
Only reason I got is because they price matched. I told them I know its not on your list. But other best buys have done.

im just gonna be super fragile and not squeeze the screen when putting on the back cover if i ever have to take it off now. >_< just precaution! i dont wanna ever have to get a refurb.
Its ok. Crisis averted.

Samsung's thin battery covers are reasonably robust regarding battery removal and handling. Even improperly installed, the plastic has given and snapped into place. I owned a Charge and Galaxy Nexus with similar battery covers and I have never broken a tab.
I have (3) batteries for my Note 2 and swap every other day without worry of breaking anything. Samsung knows removable covers...
Yeah ive had a nexus and s3 no issues. Note 2 day one screen lose from snapping in battery cover or something . Go figure.

OK so I just gotta ask..

So this has been somewhat bothering me since pretty much day one and I have told myself it's not a big deal just me being "nit picky" but I just have to mention and ask...
My DNA is "creaky" on the front glass I clean my display endlessly and it makes a creaky (for lack of a better description or recording of the actual sound..) sound.. I also notice that when I put it down there is a noise from the camera area.. (maybe auto focus lens..)
but my main concern is the creaky sound on the front and when i grip the phone on the sides...
Does anyone else notice this?
Thats too bad to hear. Mine is solid all around.

If your phone is less than 14 days old, you may easily get it replaced at Verizon store.
I had this issue, and got a new replacement without any hassle.
You just got a phone like that. Either get it replaced or get used to it. Sorry...
I wouldn't be happy either. Doubt Verizon will swap it for that. I'd try to tell them it gets hot or doesn't hold the charge or something. They swapped my husband's Rezound cause it was hot and dying in a matter of hour when plugged in and used as GPS in the car. Tell them you have a problem like that.

well, crap... all this time I should have gone by the VZW store to check the demo units or ask here like I thought about originally... I got my phone at Best Buy and out of the return policy I could probably get the my friend at VZW to replace my phone under warranty.. it's just that in the past I have had issues CLNA phones..

Mines been solid since I got it. And I'm very particular when it comes to creaky phones. I'd try to get a replacement.
Mine creaked bottom right, replaced it and its better though I can briefly recreate the noise if the battery flap isn't seated properly.

Same here.
Mine is solid as a rock.
This set is "the nuts"! (poker term).
Except for the fact that you can't even look at it without somehow touching the rocker volume and changing the setting.
I don't want a case on it so I just remember to handle it without actually touching it.
Or get Volume Locker app.
With case off, no creaks on mine. Then again, the instant I pulled it out of the box, I babied it in a screen protector and ballistic sg case. My Nexus 7 though, creaks like no other.
Sometimes phones can begin to show creaking after having a case on it that was too small for it. Have you recently had problems removing a case?
I have two DNA's and had to replace one due to this creaking sound. Verizon did not think it was a problem, but exchanged it anyway after I insisted the sound was bothering me.

Back peeling beside the audio jack and power outlet

Hey is anyone else experiencing this issue with the phone back peeling? It is really bad alongside the audio jack. It's starting to crack around the input for the charger also. Seems like a defect. I wouldn't think this would be normal wear and tear after only a month.

Mine isn't doing that at all, but I've only taken the back off one time since the day I bought the phone. My battery and SD card promo pack are showing up tuesday, and I'm sure mine will be peeling once I start swapping batteries every day.
Luckily for us, replacements are available: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=lg+v10+back+cover&_sacat=0
I don't use a case... But really this shouldn't be happening. I have taken the back off maybe 5 times? This is something that younger expect to start happening after 6 months of use.... And what about the spot beside the charging port?
I'm gonna see if I can maybe get them to send a replacement back. I don't feel like this is something you'd normally expect of a 6 week old phone. IMHO

Wow. Mine has the same problem. I talked to Verizon, they can't do anything about it, LG wants me to send the back to them and they will investigate and see whose fault it is. I'm having reservations and it because I will have to go bareback (???) for a few days. I'm still pissed because it was less than 2 weeks when I got the phone.

At least their being honest with you. Take it as a chance to invest in a wireless charging back cover.
This is a serious lack in customer service. What a mess. I will be calling next week and also sending pics and complaints to Tmobile. This phone is unfortunately not turning out to be all its cracked up to be. First with the busted screens and now this not so "Dura"skin peeling off the back. This should not be an opportunity to go and buy something else.... Now if LG wants to send me a $15 gift card or something I'll get another back....
Don't get me wrong the internal hardware is great but then so is the G4. I bought it because of its durability primarily and this is quickly becoming an area where it appears to be lacking... Now I just have a "heavy" phone.... With similar features as some other not so heavy ones...

I started a thread on Reddit also. I sent emails to Android Central and Android Police. I don't personally have a Twitter account but if you do maybe consider Tweeting it to LG with a link to the thread so that they can see these multiple reports. Comment on the Reddit thread as well to get that more visibility.... Hopefully this helps.

Same problem with my phone. I've had it since day one and it's peeling in the exact same way in the same spot. I called LG and they said they'd replace it after I send them the back of my phone and they send me a new back which would take up to 10 days. What a joke. I love the phone otherwise but I bought it so I wouldn't need to buy a case. Not that the cases work with the fingerprint scanner. I'm glad for jump on demand. I think it's ridiculous they won't send us a part that cost them a few cents but they send out batteries and sdcards for free.
