Seeing all these white notes cracking, I have one and am worried about this happening to mine, should I sell it while I can and buy a black one at&t or unlocked model black
Or just keep the white and be worried it's gonna get a crack?

Maybe because the carbon blue phones are darker and it's hard to see any cracks which would also be darker. There's a lot more contrast between a white phone and a darker crack than there is between a black phone and a darker crack.
I have a black one that i would be more than happy to trade for your white one Send me a PM if your interested because i more than likely won't look at this thread again

In general, while plastics are weaker in strength due to a lack of carbon. It's hard to say for sure tho without the processing methods of the plastics used in making the Note's shells. For all we know, they can be the same composition with the Carbon Blue model just being tinted with dyes.
I am one of the few that have a split. If I'm able to successfully get it replaced, ill opt for another white one. Its not the only issue with my phone and I'm hoping its isolated. So far very few people reported having the issue. Far more replacements and returns for other unrelated issues.
I wasn't too concerned until Samsung warranty support told me if anything subsequently happen because of the crack to the screen because of debris or moisture entering, they would not cover it.
You'd think they could make some sort of process where they could mix in Teflon to make white plastics a bit less brittle.

My white one cracked. Right side about an inch or so from the power button. I decided to give the white another shot because I'm just not a fan of the black... sorry carbon blue. I figure if it happens again then I'll see if they will swap it for a blue one.
I made sure the folks at the AT&T store were aware of the various threads regarding the cracking issue so they could include it in heir notes for why the device was exchanged.

Has anyone been able to find an OEM battery door replacement for the E3D? I couldn't come across one in a couple pages of Google hits..
Mine's getting kind of creaky (anyone else notice a creak upon applying pressure to the bottom-right corner?), and I was wondering how much a replacement cost.
18,60$ on ebay..
or on the htcstore 40$

If you are only looking for the battery door, this will work on a Sprint EVO 3D. You are paying for the entire assembly but if its the battery door you are looking for and don't mind paying the extra cost, then this will work with any EVO 3D.

The link added here with the purple one. If you are only looking to change your battery door, you can buy that one from Amazon and only use the battery door. You will be paying over $80 but you WILL have a NEW battery door cover that is a different color than the stock red one. I wish I can find just the battery door for the GSM EURO EVO 3D with the gold trim but without the Rogers logo. Only the EURO GSM one has that. Has anyone been able to find that anywhere without getting the entire replacement..?

Yep. I got them. The "all black" one is actually the purple one. The gold one doesn't have "Rogers" on it. I had to remove a little rubber sticker on the inside of the gold one, but both of these fit our CDMA phones like stock
I'll probably sell them both for what I paid for them, and pick up an OEM one to paint all black. PM me if you're interested in the gold or purple ones. Pics below.

Looks gorgeous!
I'm more for the original color but this looks sweet. With the original feel of the battery door, the white gives it a nice touch. But If its anything like the old white EVO, it looks sh!tty after having it for a while.

Check You Tube for videos of how to. Heat gun/hair dryer, T5 torx screwdriver, and a few pry tools are all you need. Digitizer (screen) and some tape are all the parts needed. It should cost you $35 to $45. I am waiting for mine!
Just cracked mine also
I just cracked mine also. Not NEARLY as bad as yours and i can live with it for a little while but would much rather have it replaced. How much skill does it require?
EDIT: found a link to one that seems to be a good price http://www.tmart.com/Replacement-Touch-Screen-Digitizer-for-HTC-Rezound-Free-Tools_p138139.html Any comments on it?
Thanks guys and I dropped it once making a single crack. The pic is upon dropping it again face down on an industrial floor. Probably going to end up replacing the digitizer. Hopefully the LCD screen is okay underneath.

It's an easy fix. If you have never replaced one it will take about an hour. Be sure not to damage the void stick on top of one of the screws.

Anyone know if the black void stickers will work because I cant find green? I did find white with red void on it maybe I can color it LOL.
I replaced the screen on my GFs Rezound.. the hardest part is peeling the digitizer off the screen with a heatgun and ensuring the glue/double sided tape stays on the phone..
As far as the VOID sticker goesm carfully slide the head of a pin under it and lift it off.

Those of you who have replaced the digitizer on the Rezound, is the adhesive reusable? None of the replacement digitzers I have found come with new strips and the places that I have found new strips say that shipping can take 3 weeks. I was looking to get this fixed a little sooner than that and don't want to tear it open and not have the adhesive if it is needed!

I'm just more partial to black. Never been a fan of white phones. Not sure why it seems girly to me.
Maybe I should see a therapist about it. Probably some deep rooted issue in my psyche. That's not one of the signs of a serial killer is it? If it is, don't tell my wife.
I owned both a black and a white EVO, and I have to say I think the white looks better.
On a side note, I've been looking at ebay listings of black and white EVOs and I notice the white ones are ending with a higher selling price then the black ones. Sometimes the difference is over $100.

Totally agree...I think the white looks better simply because of the silver accents. If they had been available at launch I probably would've gotten one. But silver on black would've killed it. I saw a thread a while back where someone bought a white and a black and swapped out the kickstands and camera bezels...it looked sick.
Sent from my EVO LTE
I'm a guy, and I have the white one. I definitely don't see any sort of gender segregation between the two colors... white is super clean and sleek looking.
I think the black looks classier.
It doesn't really matter, most people put body covers on their phones anyway. Buy the black one does really shout out the EVO brand out with it's red accents.

I completely agree! I was just posting a cheaper alternative in case you were planning to pay for a new one

good luck, you might be able to get it exchanged since you haven't had it 2 weeks. Most likely they'll throw out the "it doesn't effect the performance of the device" excuse.
Nevermind the image didn't load for me before. Well that sucks man. Best of luck replacing it. Going to take extra special care now when handling the s pens.
Day 2 of owning my device, I somehow already chipped a very very small part of my screen. No idea how either
I have the same problem I have the vzw note 2 and the paint is chipping on the silver painted part of the pen but mine is chipping from pulling out the s pen its in the little crevis part ill take pic now ... Please advice me on if you were able to get Samsung or Verizon to replace orv what you did

My Spen has been chipped since after a week. The phone was built crappy IMO. Im careful with my stuff and my screen is scratched and there are a couple chips around the phone.
Here is a better shot of the damage is just not right this device is expensive enough that they should use better materials

Im in the same boat I here ya! Samsung makes great products but cut cost on cheaper meterials I too have a small scratch on my screen and I was babying the crap out of it when I was cleaning with a micro fiber cloth my last 4 phones over the past 2 years had no screen protectors and rarely did I get a scratch and I was much rougher knowing in advance from other threads that the note 2 was using cheaper quality material to cut costs ... My question is why they're making billions not millions but billions ... It pisses me off ...I want a replacement pen I know the scratch on the screen is so small that a screen protector will hide it

I just sanded mine down and made it all white polished the plastic to make it almost match the rear cover. Good as new and no more 'chrome' chipping!

is this a common issue? I'm considering getting either this phone or the DNA, and build quality is kind of a concern with the Samsung stuff. I hope this isn't indicative of sammy's overall quality here.

Then it would have probably been even more money

How?

Noticed my s pen is chipped. Not the part that you pull out on but the side that's flush with the phone. Anyone else have a pen that's chipping? Also would the store trade it for another since I just got it from the store on release day or do I need to contact Samsung? View attachment 1534801

Did you chip it? If so, how did you do it?

The plastic for the SPen is rather soft. So yes it is an issue, but it doesn't affect performance at all, and the phone itself doesn't have the problem.

I didn't notice it until I read this thread. Slight chipping here as well.
Wow guys. Really? You guys are whining over some microscopic paint chip? Be glad that's the extent of your problems with this phone. Every phone is going to have its problems. Paint will naturally come off if suffers regular abrasion, either from sliding in and out of the phone or from us handling it. I'm just glad this phone doesn't have real problems like a poor radio or battery over heat.
