My red ring around my camera lens is coming loose from my back. Was wondering if anybody else was having this issue?

Just use glue.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
By the looks of that screenshot, you've been taking your back cover off incorrectly, or rather not as "gently" as you should be.
The back case flexes if you pull at it from the bottom and up like peeling a bannana...and when it flexes, it will bend the metal camera frame ring. Thus that red metal ring can/dent/bend and will start to bow and then the tension will cause it to naturally pull away and pop off like you've displayed.
I might suggest removing the ring entirely and trying to bend/straighten it as gently as possible, so that it will want to stay straight and flush, before gluing it back on.
When I am removing the back cover, pop off an end first, usually I do the bottom (since there's the thumb tab, opposite the head phone jack),
then I gently tug at the side with the usb, to pop out the tabs working my way towards the headphone jack,
then I gently push the bottom left corner of the back cover towards the headphone jack, so that it helps pop off and out around the headphone jack as I lift the panel from up from the USB side.
Ultimately I try to remove my backcover without flexing the backcover or flexing it as little as possible especially near the red ring.

Go to your local Sprint store and ask if they have any replacement back covers. i Took mines over to them and they said it is a defective issue in some? I don't know if it is true but they gave me one for free

TLC is what it needs Tho sprint will hook you up im sure...
I am stopping by the Sprint Store this afternoon to get a replacement back today. Was just wondering if this was a common issue or not. Thanks for the replies.
@CYDVicious
You are correct, I am bad at just taking the back off by just the bottom and really bending the case, guess I was used to the original 4G back which was so much easier to take off.
Thanks all
Never happened to me and I got mine right after launch. I always wanted to take it off to paint it or just sand it down. Even tried prying it from the inside with no luck. Is it glued on or does it have another method of attachment? Tried painting it but the edges looked sloppy and it covered up the holes which muffled the already weak speaker. Ended up scraping the paint off before it fully cured.

Looks to be just some sort of glue. But it seems to be very thin aluminum that bends extremely easy and probably hard to get back into the correct shape if bent too much. Wouldn't recommend prying it off, unless you can get it off with heat.
mine is starting to come off as well. im hoping for some other issues so i can get a whole new refurb unit

So the LCD is 'permanently' glued to the screen, rather than being held in by tabs and screws as in the Incredible? That sucks...
Hopefully someone will start selling the entire front bezel+digitizer assembly.

It's just a bit of adhesive. They are not "permanently' glued / fused together. They can be easily separated.

Thank you for the positive feedback! We do not have the part in stock right now but we are always adding new stock. Feel free to check back on our site to see if we have the part available.
Thanks for posting this. I just dropped my phone and 1/4 of my lcd screen is out or stuck pixels. I just purchased from your store what I think i need to repair it. This will be my first time dissecting and repairing a phone and these kind of posts make all the difference.
Thank you very much and good luck with the repair! Let us know how it goes!
well......i replaced the screen. Not thinking that I got this from a warranty claim it had some more adhesive that was not on the video. I got the screen in and it looks great...but....I messed up the touchscreen. It randomly hits and also doesn't register other times....fail. So either ordering the digitizer and hope not to f up. Or try to sell this for someone who knows what they are doing and buy something else. Any advice?

Sounds like the touch screen maybe making contact with the LCD and this is why you are getting the issue.
Make sure you used the correct thickness adhesive between the LCD and digitizer to prevent this problem. This is shown in our repair video provided with the part.
Use our contact us form on the web site and we can assist you further if you have more questions.

Yes we recommend purchasing the adhesive strips also for during install.
I didn't realize that the wire I was using was a little sharp on one end. As you can see, this can do bad things to the PCB.

My phone is rebooting the instant I touch the wire to ground, so I don't know if I am going to be able to do the wire trick. )= We shall see.
I ended up taking the back case off of my phone so I could have better access. It does make it a little easier:
Good catch. This should be kept at the top for people to see. How hard was the wire you used?
What wire did you use?
I tried a clipped old cat5 cable but found it too flimsy. Switched to a plain small paperclip and was successful.

It was a 22awg jumper wire. I guess I had clipped it at some point so it formed a sharp tip. The wire itself is fairly soft even.
My hands shake a bunch so just the sharp tip and trying to keep a firm connection was probably all it took.
Just plane old speaker wire worked for me. (For people who look at this later)
I took a plastic ended wall tack wrapped some speaker wire tight for the pin 1 hole then did the same for other end to tap the ground. Pretty precise for me looks good on the pcb over here

Yep. That's what I used. A paperclip, and wrapped it in clear tape from a desk dispenser so I didn't have any static electricity.
IF anyone does happen to be as clumsy as me you will be happy to know that you can lift up the motherboard and there is a large pad on the bottom you can use instead of the tiny dot.
I found that a small piece of coax cable works well.

I kind of gathered from the main thread that it's supposed to do that, and that they want the second contact 1.75 seconds into the reboot.
How hard were you pressing on that wire, anyway? I would think it took a little time and effort to do this damage.

How hard were you pushing? Even with a sharpened point, you would still have to push pretty hard to scrape like that.
A 6 inch piece of household stranded speaker wire worked great for me. Fits into pin 1 hole kind of tight and is easier to hit the contact.

Lol. Not very hard. It wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't.
Actually, I was just looking at it some more and I am starting to think it was already like that before I did anything. I just tried to purposefully scratch another spot and I couldn't do it.
I used a paperclip myself. Only problem I had at first was keeping contact with the first connection before hitting the ground. Found a bigger paper clip with less wiggle and problem solved.

What do you mean? Having access to S-Off no means we can put our phones back into a "Locked" status that now doesn't show you tampered with it. Meaning you should be able to return your phone and even if they check to see if you unlocked it they won't be able to tell.
This might be a useless post. I originally posted in one of the diztronic posts, but see It's a more than one person issue. if someone can help me and post a picture of the unedited backing that way people can see a before and after. Essentially with some of the cases they grab the backing too tight against the power button causing it to stick. from what I've seen looking at a couple of EVO's is that the power button doesn't sit flush with the front of the phone, a manufacturing defect I guess. What's needed to be done is filing down the backing where it won't touch the button. In our case it is not the visible section but wings that stick out inside the phone.

Ive noticed if you push down power button on the left side of the button it tends to stick, if you push on the right side your ok. I was going to get a replacement, but after reading this I might as well just modify this one.

all the "defective"ones I've seen are raised on the left side when looking down atop the button .
take the backing off and you'll see one side not flush.
THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!
I got my Diztronic TPU case in yesterday and I've had 9-10 reboots due to the power button. I was planning on going to Best Buy to exchange at lunch today but guess that's not the answer. I suppose I'll get to filing and see if that helps.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
You don't have to be afraid of shaving too much as there isn't anything to harm. There is a clip on the right but it's far enough from the parts to shave. just something to have caution if you go crazy with it.
I shaved a but off of mine just a tiny tiny piece actually its hard to tell any was taken off. I was getting the reboots but that cured it, and not a single reboot since.

As I've noted before, this issue isn't with all phones. my parents 2 phones didn't have the power button sticking out. mine was a bestbuy preorder by mail, theirs was a release day bestbuy walk in. I had to swap backings and cases with no change before I noticed the issue. it is also a possible problem without a case.
Once again, this issue isn't for all phones, very few actually.
Bought 2 diztronic cases. One had this problem, the other didn't.
Returned the problematic one to Amazon. Going to buy a cruzerlite!
btw, for those who shaved the case, can you tell the paint fell off?
The button isn't aluminum? Not sure what paint your pointing toward.

Au contraire, I just got my cruzerlite tpu today and do see that the left side of my power button tends to sink whenever I press it down. My temporary fix is by gently sliding my finger to the other side of the button (but it gets a little old after a while lol )

Well this one got me out of being a lurker on this site - I have the exact same problem in the same location and it is driving me nuts. I have visibly inspected the connectors and they all appear to be the same. Still within my return window at VZW but I hope they can just give me a new cover vs. dealing with a new phone.
I also have this issue. I have the white GS3 from AT&T. I kind of feel that I may end up with a bigger problem if I exchange for another. It's incredibly annoying considering the money I dropped on this thing, but I figure a case will cover it up, and my fingers rarely ever hang out in that area anyway.

i would suggest taking it to your retailer and ask them to replace it. unfortunately, i doubt they will go through the trouble of doing that for you. you could try ordering a new back cover. they are a bit pricey though.
Try detaching that side of the cover and snapping it on clip by clip. I had a slight creak, but this fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I've tried putting it back on every way possible, no luck. I also tried the hair dryer method from the SII and do not recommend it - the clear coating on the back started to crack around the headphone jack. I was working very carefully so it's hardly noticeable but had I been pushing harder it could have cracked a lot. It's possible that I needed to heat it more but I'm afraid to since it's already pretty dang flimsy.
I'm going to go to VZW today and we'll see what they say. I really hope they act on it, a flagship $300 device should not have creaky plastic on the back...
In my case, I can actually see that the back cover does not fit properly. Regardless of how I put the cover back on, that edge is slightly raised from the phone, which is what causes the creaking. The creaking doesn't exist on the phone itself without the back cover on.
I brought my phone in and they are 3+ weeks backordered so they suggested I try Sammy - I played with the phone again and realized the creak is actually coming from the phone case itself, and NOT the back cover.
OP try taking off your cover and pushing along the thin strip of plastic on the side of the battery, this is at least where my creak is. I tried tightening the screws but no help, this just got even more frustrating.

EDIT: My headphone jack has been borked since I got it, and I'm still not sure what's wrong with it.
PROBLEM: Headphones won't go all the way in, so it won't play out of the left earbud. (tried all headphones)
Here's some pics from what I could get.

I even sanded down the tip of a garbage pair of headphones, so it was shorter than standard ones, this time it seemed to go all the way in, yet still no audio out of the left earbud.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Please, somebody suggest a fix for this, and compare the pics of my jack - to your headphone jack and tell me if anything seems wrong with mine. Thanks.

I don't understand what you mean? It won't let me plug it in deep enough into the port. How does this have anything to do with large cases? I've even tried it with no case...
If you bought it used then you might be having the problem I have on occasion. If it was kept in a pants pocket or a messy purse, you probably have lint or some other debris down in the jack. Get a toothpick and a small flashlight and see if you can fish it out.

If you bought it used then you might be having the problem I have on occasion. If it was kept in a pants pocket or a messy purse, you probably have lint or some other debris down in the jack. Get a toothpick and a small flashlight and see if you can fish it out.

I had issues with headphones not working properly a while ago. I cleaned it a little bit and it worked. Apparently this issue is quite common with the atrix.
Hope that helps

As you wish.
Two different headphones, one with angle plug, one with flat plug.
Back and front.
With and without the case.
Both plugs are inserted fully and working flawlessly.
Sorry for somewhat crappy pictures. Bad lighting here.

Thanks but I was hoping for the inside of the port. Thanks!
i've had some issues too with headphone. Sometimes when i plug it in, it may not works.
I have to unplug it and to plug it again.
My connector does not fully insert too, but i can't push it more and it works correctly this way... most of the time.
Could someone please post pics?
PLEASE READ! !! IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM TO HAVE BITS OF DEBRIS OR FLUFF ETC FROM CLOTHES OR OTHER THINGS FIND THERE WAY INTO THE HEADPHONE PORT ON AN ATRIX .....USE A TOOTHPICK AND FLASHLIGHT TO FISH OUT ANYTHING INSIDE OR EVEN A CAN OF AIR (like ones to clean a keyboard with) IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THAN ONCE ....sorry for the capitals but I bet this is your problem

I've already checked with a flashlight and there doesn't appear to be any lint or anything like that. No matter how hard I press, it doesn't go in any further.
I had the same problem. Disassembled everything several times, no oxidation, nothing in the plug.
You can see a small black round puck at the bottom of the inside of the jack. My assumption is that it swells with heat.
My correction you ask?
Removed the battery, used an electronic drill with a 1/8ths bit and reduced the puck size. I did this with the phone assembled because the jack is tapered on the bottom if you take it out, won't sit flat.
Just make sure it goes in straight.
Hope that helps!

This is very interesting and surprising to say the least.

Hmmm... This is pretty much an all or nothing deal, I'll try this when my dad gets back from Alaska. Thanks for the tip!
