Remember when the Evo 4G came out and how all of the screen separation, light leakage and other defects came with many of them? You guys think it's worth it to wait a while after the release date to get it? (to have a "perfect" phone)
Input appreciated

I still have a first batch evo, got it release day. In fact My first batch EVO is the first Sprint phone besides my Sanyo M1 that I didn't need to have replaced in 10 years.
i would think that they had a checklist of mistakes not to make again. hope fully they did that.
No, there is a warranty. But if you'd rather wait...have fun!
The biggest issue had to do with how the screen was glued down and how the glue they originally either wasn't enough or eventually wore out.
Unfortunately, this is one of the problems with being an early adopter. But since it'll be covered by warranty, you'll be fine.
If you don't want to bother with the hassle, it's better to wait a month or two and then get it. More prudent that way.
I have 3 first batch 4g and none of them have had any build issues.
I think by now they have this form factor down..I'm not worried and like they said warranty
I had my first Evo since a week after the release date. If I wouldn't have dropped it 2-3 months ago and cracked the screen, it would still be running today with no issues.
I also had a release day evo...and the phone worked great, the only reason I swapped mine was due to a few dead pixels...it wasn't a huge deal but they kinda bugged me when I was browsing which I do alot of...nothing my warranty didn't fix quickly.

Exactly.
Tapa tapa tapa
Can't count the times I've dropped my day 1 Evo 4g... Never a problem and never a bit of protection for it aside from an invisishield.
If that's the quality of the 3D then I will be extremely happy.

my guess is they learned from the manufacturing issues they had with the EVO 4G. if not, then some people need to be fired and they need to revisit their procedures. but as with all manufactured items, there is always a chance of a defect.
my launch day (0002) EVO has treated me well, up until last month when i had to get the screen replaced due to unresponive area. new screen = no light leakage/seperation or that splotchy area that looks horrible (those who had it, know what i mean)
I had an original 002 from launch day, and the only issue I had with it was it developing white spots over time. Just two weeks ago, I had it swapped (only because they didn't have that screen type in stock), but like others have said, don't be afraid because you do have warranty, and also I would suggest getting insurance for most smart phones these days since they're so valuable.
Just pre-ordered mine from WireFly ($179.99). I'm upgrading from the Hero, so I can't really speak for any of those problems, but the people I know who got the Evo 4G when it was released didn't have any problems at all.
I've had mine since launch day and she is going strong I'm glad for that because the sprint store will trade this bad boy in which make the E3d $50 life is good
HTC Evo running CM7
I just now found something that looks like an little hair under mine screen off mine HTC Evo 3D. Its first time I spotted it.
I almost don't see it and I also don't think this falls under warranty and maybe it will just go away after awhile. But I got no idea how it got there. Anyway I wouldn't want to send it away under warranty if it even falls under warranty.
Anyone else saw something like this with there Evo 3D? I just found out this doesn't seem to be to strange. I got it almost in the left corner. If the dust get under the screen then it should somehow also go down in some time.
Take it to sprint because I'd be annoyed as hell looking at it. I love my EVO but the one thing I hate is when I see a ****ing hair stuck between. The bezel, sometimes its hard to pull out. Maybe that's how it got inside your phone

Well mine was bought in Germany in MediaMarkt. Its been 13 days ago that I bought it and just now when I was sitting outside and it was clear I could spot it and now I will be able find it to. I could go back, but I really don't want to have it go for warranty, I doubt if they give me another one. Btw I'm running an custom rom with sense 3.5, if I go back should I not flash an stock rom?
But when screen is on then I can not see it.
Didn't you know...? Debris under the screen is an HTC exclusive design trademark.
Well I knew that between the chinks there will become dirt between, that I just now als got.
But there is nothing I can do against it. But the dirt between the chink above the HTC logo I just removed very careful by using and double edge blade as those blades are very tiny, so it fits between the chink and I was able to remove it without damage the phone. But that dirt was obvious from some food, but in future it will happen again anyway and now it was just an small part, if it was more then I wouldnt take the risk to remove it.
Mine HTC Desire HD had also had dirt in the chicks, but it didn't disturb me.
I read online many HTC's have this dust problem. I guess no phone brand is perfect, even Apple not. Anyway it will not really disturb me if its just an small one which I can't see. I can only see it if I focus on it.

That's a bummer
Yes I think i'm going go back to the mediamarkt in germany today.
So they can switch it for me. But I don't know if they will do that.
I think its unacceptable that there is an dust part under mine screen and its just two weeks old so I don't wanna wait on warranty and they should just give me a new one.
Its clearly visibible this dust part and is about 1mm long. I'm also going ask € 20 back, they lowered the price with € 20, so going get that back to. I will flash an stock rom on it. If I keep 3.5 on it they can see I'm using custom firmware. Anyway I'm going try to switch it for a new one and get that € 20 back.
If they don't wanna switch it then I got to live with it as turning it in for warranty is to much.

I went back to MediaMark germany and after a long talk they keep saying no we don't give you an new one and only thing they could do is send it to HTC.
And that I didnt want. So now either sell it or live with it. I can almost not see the dust.

Says the con artist who doesnt want to keep the phone due to dust and hair under the screen, but is selling it on as new.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m
Dude i'm not selling it as new but as new state and that is an big difference. And no one off you knows if I tell the buyer or not. I already answered a question off someone on XDA who asked if this was the one with the little hair in it. Also I'm still awaiting answer from HTC I mailed them about this problem.
And I said yes and showed him a picture.
Btw is this an common issue with the Evo 3D about dust getting under the screen? I found about 4 to 6 threads about it on internet. I think I would like to keep the Evo 3D btw as I like the device and an HTC One X would cost € 270 more.
Not trolling, but that other thread was genuinely funny.
For the last couple of years I've held in my hand an HTC device. I became very familiar with their S-OFF procedures and I am just curious what things are like for Motorola users. I know I should probably search, but I'd like some opinions rather than guides. How is Moto's bootloader unlocking different than HTC? Does Moto have an unlock tool like HTC's halfa** tool? Anyone else here move from HTC, is it worth it?
I'm picking one up later today on craigslist so I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into. Currently, I've got an EVO 3D.
I moved to the photon from an EVO 3D as well. I always used HTC phones going as far back as the HTC Mogul. I actually prefer Blur over Sense. There is a ton of little things about this phone that make it better, in my eyes mind you, than the 3D.
I've honestly never even thought about going back to an HTC. That is until now. With the evo lte coming out its provoking the need for a new toy.
I got this phone in October and I still don't wanna run it over with a tank.
Anything specific you wanna know?
No root tool, however, the root method is simple and pain free if you are capable and can follow directions.

Thanks for the info! I've wanted the Photon 4G since I renewed last fall but I chose the EVO 3D (coming from the EVO 4G). I was pretty disappointed with the 3D in general and I've regret the decision of getting it in the first place. But from your personal use, how's battery life? Is the Tegra 2 better than the S3/Adreno 220 in the 3D? I enjoy playing games and so far (Modern Combat 3, BackStabHD) have performed pretty well on the 3D. Any experience with these on the P4G?
Go back to the HTC family.
Sent from my ICS Shooter 3D
Battery life on the P4G is a lot better for me at least than the 3D ever was. Another note, reception. Leaps and bounds over Sammy and just a hair better than HTC. Wifi, data, calls and texts. To me 3g is unless on this phone. I sit on a super fast Wifi connection at home and 4g blankets the places I go.
As far as games go, my gaming extent is angry birds and techno kitten adventure.

Lol from experience with the P4G or because you have a 3VO?
3g is fine. I personally can't tolerate how slow it is.
You've got a point. I just assumed it was my area. Everything shows as 3G on my EVO but I swear it's 1x/EvDO. I think it's just to make people happy
Yeah. I work from home so unless I leave the house I'm on a 100meg connection. If my phone ever says 3g, I don't even bother with using data.
Any other specific stuff?
Thats about it. Thanks very much! Once I get the phone I'll post any questions if I have any but it sounds like I'll enjoy it!
Ok I picked up the Photon... so far so good (overall). I have two issues though that maybe you can help me with.
1) Headset might be busted. Plugin in headset the phone goes nuts making calls, bringing up voice commands - tried with two known working headsets. Audio sounds like hissy/tinny. If I push the plug to the side it sounds ok so I'm think it's loose? I'll get a Torx set from RadioShack tomorrow and check more.
2) The phone is slow. On the home screen, swiping between each screen has such a tremendous lag. The music player takes almost a minute to load the songs from my SD card (roughly 3000 songs). I just did another factory reset so we'll see how it goes.
Yeah. That sounds like it's broken.
Hard reset should fix the slow problem. I use ADW EX to replace the shock ui but that's just cause I like it better and I got the circle folders.
Anything else?

I tried a gameloft game tonight, Modern Combat 3 and I get to the 3rd splash screen and it reloads the app. I'm downloading the data files for BackStab HD now to see if that one will work.
HDMI out is pretty unimpressive. When you move from one app to another you can see a transparent image of the previous screen behind the active one. Not a big deal, HDMI out isn't a huge deal but for videos/pics I think it'd be fine.
Hopefully tomorrow with be a better day with this puppy. If I keep having problems I'll just claim it through Asurion.
EDIT: HDMI is fine. Problem was with a crappy HDTV.
Your headphone problem alone should get you a free replacement at sprint if you're under the TEP plan... Defective product.

Even though I didn't buy it from Sprint? I have the TEP plan but they direct me to Asurion regarding any type of TEP claim.
Yeah. Go into the sprint store and tell them your headphone port doesn't work. I got my photon from craigslist. Had a problem with getting texts and it got replaced.
As long as you don't have water damage you sound be fine. I wouldn't take it apart before you bring it in. Let them do it.

Mine does the same thing and I already got the screen replaced on it once. It acts up about twice a week and I usually just restart the phone. I'd be happy with a SG2 replacement if it comes down to it.

Sorry, bad explanation, I hit the power button to turn the screen on and off until I get it to respond. It usually makes it through the ring lock, but then its either unresponsive or acts like there's pressure. Sometimes the capacitive buttons may not work either (actually more like a majority of the time). It happens a lot, like maybe 10-20% of the time I want to use the phone, seems to be getting worse. Maybe I better deal with it before I get locked out...
I'm a little leery of Samsung after my Moment debacle, but I can't deny that the Transform was alright and my wife's Intercept did do the job well. It seems they've made strides for sure.

the extend batteries and accessory options are better and cheaper as well.
and if it wasnt bad enough the Epic 4g Touch has the better and faster chipset than the TMO S2.

Yes, you should get a Galaxy S2 replacement!
Asurion replaced my Evo3D with a GS2 on June 5. It wasn't a refurb, it was brand new. The GS2 was the only choice I had, and I was really upset until I received it. I loved my Evo3D! I miss the 3d and the Sense UI. :crying:
I'm really happy with the Galaxy S2 now tho, especially the USB storage.
I wouldn't have taken the Evo4G, either -- that's b.s! Good luck to the people with future 3d accidents! Insist on the GS2 and don't accept less!
(I had dropped the Evo3D on the street getting out of my car, in Texas, in 105°! I didn't notice for 30 minutes, and it cooked the bottom buttons, (home-menu etc.)

Samsung/Sprint borked the shat out of the ICS update for this phone, ppl are saying they think it's deliberate so we'll just go out & buy the S3 lol, but since kernel source was released too, we now have a source built kernel for CM9 & we're about to be official, this is definitely the best time to own a E4GT!

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?

I have two dead pixels that are only visible with a very dark screen.
