is there anyway to tell if my phone has water damage??e - HTC EVO 3D

i got my evo 3d off someone on craigslist.. so i wanted to kno if there was any way to see if its been in water??? i kno they have some kind of sticker that changes color i think.. if i ever have to go into the sprint store i dont want to look like a jerk u kno.. thanks

There is one on the battery and one somewhere in the phone.... Not sure where though.

Ya the battery one tho can be swapped out so not trust worthy . The one in the phone is what you need to look at .

Yes, there is one on the battery, and one on the phone somewhere. On the OG Evo is was near the charging port, not sure about the 3d though.
The sticker should be white with a few red (pink) X's. if it's a solid color, it has water damage. Next time, be sure to check the phone before buying a used one.

The water damage sticker for the phone its self its located on the back of the phone under the top right screw. You have to look between the slot. And obviously remove the battery cover.

That sucks... I was never a big fan of the photon.. before you pick it I would go over to their deving section and see if it suits your needs.

On the contrary, alot of launch 3Ds had problems and many still do. Mines has a tilted screen and light leakage but im dealing with it. Others overheat. Others have reboot locks. Research before you call someone a idiot...

Tilted screen I can take. That light leakage under the search button kills me. My brother got a perfect phone. No defects at all.

I got 3 preordered and still nothing wrong with any of them.
I think people return their phones over every little flaw. Honestly i think if u go through 6 it means u have the problem. Imo sprint shouldnt give u another phone over light leakage, people seem to be spoiled.

Weeeelllll....6 is a little Much, ill admit that. I mean I've never seen design flaws on a newly realeased device like this before. Some get the tainted ones and some don't. It seemed to be real wide spread. The tilted screen did.t. other me much but I agree with Knowledge on the light leakage. 1/3 of the bottom around the edges, the lights leaks right out. Whata pain In the ass. But is hafta agree with some bein.g spoiled. Sure!!

Those are stupid reasons to waste time exchanging phone after phone. Light leakage and a tilted screen don't hinder functionality in the least. I've got the light leakage...oh well. I don't use my phone in the dark a lot for it to be an issue and even if I did oh well....it still works. Some people are exchanging their phones constantly for retarded reasons. I have a hard time believing that out of 6 devices ALL of them were defective to the point that they couldn't be used.

If you got ramdon reboots and freeze on so many different handsets., more often than not it is cause by the apps you installed.

So i got my htc evo 3d,(finally) very happy i got it but i have a really bad yellow tint to the whites is there anything to fix this ? its looks pretty bad.
If you bought it from a store or the sprint store, take it back to them and have them replace it.
No the screen was replaced by htc, I just got it back
Well obviously something went wrong. Needs repair again.

Give this a shot, saw it in the Flyer forum.
Maedhros said:
Hello,
I have a best buy Wifi Flyer. The screen has a yellow tint on it. Super annoying and noticeable when you open the keyboard and compare to my Desire HD. Also noticeable when I go to google.com
To fix this I downloaded screen adjuster and set blue to 10, all others to zero.
Thats the setting I use, if anyone finds something better, let me know!

Fyi, the stock Galaxy III turns in higher quadrants than that, (or for that matter, higher than anything out there), but I'd still WAY rather have the Evo, and I'm glad I do:
No matter how fast the latest Sammy is, it's still just a ("plain-jane", not truly 'ugly',) shiny, black, plastic Samsung that feels like a feather when I hold it.
If there's one thing that owning the ET4G has taught me, it's that I can't truly be happy with an Android phone unless the letters H, T, and C are lined up somewhere on it.
(But yeah, back to the quadrant: just letting you know, before some GIII fanboy comes in to your thread with screenshots of his own...)

holy crap

T-Mobile just replaced my amaze with a one s! I know some of you may not like it but you gotta admit that's a damn fair swap.
Is there a fully aosp Rom for it yet?
I also read bit paranoid android works flawlessly. Anyone have experience in that?

Don't get ur panties in a bunch. I have no biz in the Amaze forums... dont want to troll and frankly the development for this phone is in the same spot it was when I left. Mako sent me the link. I dont have much time for xda any more (lucky for you I guess).
On topic... One S looks better... thinner...lighter... better build quality... more development...
The lack of SD was the deal breaker for me. SGS3 is still the top dawg

Since you mentioned build quality....I guess I'll just add Im on One S #3. Each exchange done for a different reason. Quite frankly the cheesy plastic sim card cover and how easily it scratches bothers the living hell out of me...which I would say is a part of build "quality".... Oddly still on the same Amaze....and it's my daily.

Ouch thats no good. I didn't have mine long (A month) but my ex wifes has been flawless for a few months. Hasn't had the issues u speak of. Different strokes for different strokes. The Amaze was the beginning of the end of HTC. It has the capabilities and specs... and STILL MY FAV CAMERA, But Quality Assurance dept must have been replaced for cheaper labor... just my opinion
