Is anyone else having issues with the screen corners lifting? My top right corner is no longer flush. I can push it back down, but it lifts back up.
I'm on the waiting list at BB to get a replacement, but I thought I'd check to see how the build quality on other EVOs is as well.
Edit:
As requested, here's a picture.

The quality build of the phone appear to be great. With the amount of phones going around for the past 2 days, any "quality build" threads look to be minimum.

Mine is not pulling up, but the bottom left of my screen clicks when you touch it. Cant post a pic because you can't see it, but you can feel it. Called Sprint for a replacement, but due to the holiday, I have to call back on Tuesday.
By the way, This device Still Rocks.

It seems to be off at the top and bottom of the screen. It will click on things above my finger at the top of the screen, but below my finger at the bottom. Always closer to the edge. In the middle is perfect.
Any one else notice this? Should I exchange it?
Aiming for the middle of the boxes.

Same here. While I do have a dead pixel toward towards the bottom, my main reason for wanting to exchange it is how the touch is off on the top and bottom.

I wonder if its a widespread problem, or isolated. I'd hate to unroot and return it to end up with the same thing.
Same feelings here. There's not really a definitive guide how to prep this phone for a warranty return. Not sure what that all entails, aside from the obvious.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I know this is a slightly older thread but I have an update since last.
Returned my phone today 'primarily' because of a dead pixel.
But the screen digitizer is no longer off near the top and bottom. So much better! No more accident double spaces causing a period or accidently turning on caps.
Didn't think it was that annoying until it's gone and I don't have to deal with it anymore.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I decided to keep my phone, and not exchange it. It's not off enough to justify it, and everything else on the phone works perfectly, so I'm just gonna live with it.

And this screen calibration setting would be located...? I've looked over and over and never seen any option in various roms to calibrate the screen.
Settings/display horizontal and gyro settings fixed one of my friends. It was off but isn't anymore. Though it has nothing to do with the touch but it fixed it...

Touchscreen
Not sure if I'm experiencing the same problem. I dropped a post on another thread but this seems to be more like it..
My example (I'm not as techie I guess) would be:
Tap on engadget app - No problems
Tap on a story - No problems
Tap on the comments - Have to do this repeatedly till it comes up
This isn't the only app or problem obviously but that's the one I notice the most.
I am on the verge of returning it considering it's a 200.00 phone.. I shouldnt have to tap something 4 times to get the item to respond. It's really frustrating. I am rooted, stock only. No custom rom. Thought it could be because I am rooted, running Go EX Launcher, Live wallpaper, etc but even using the stock launcher w no live wallpaper and eliminating some other things it doesnt make a difference. I did try the screen/gyro cal and it made no difference. Please let me know if you guys are having the same issue.. My return period is rapidly coming up..

Sent from my 3VO
This is something that I totally agree with and is my only complaint with the phone. Mine was the same way from day one. It's just a design flaw....a bad one at that. Button feels "spongy" and have to usually use a fingernail to push it just right. learned to live with it though.

Any way to freaking use the camera button to unlock?

if you break it, which from seeing your posts here in this thread you are likely to do so, i'm sorry to hear that.
Seriously, if you have problems with the power button to where you need to use a fingernail to push it just right, take it into a Sprint store and either have it fixed or replaced. I've had mine since day one and have never had issues with the power button. Sticks out just far enough, and has a light "click" feeling when I press it. If yours is spongy and not working, get it fixed.
I have never had this issue with mine. I imagine Sprint could fix it. However, if you go with a custom ROM there are ways to use the volume buttons to wake. Joelz ICS has this option built-in.

Also, I use lockscreen widget to turn the screen off. Free app in the market.

I like mine works great I like how they did it this round. I was always afraid of breakin them on the EVO cause after alot of use they would squeek..
On the evo 3d no issues with mine
Go to a Sprint store and ask for a new cover. The power\volume buttons are on the battery cover not the actual phone.
Well, technically it's all a part of the actual phone, but you know what I mean.

Try taking the back off and put it back on top side first. Like others have said, it's just poorly designed.
I had mine get stuck when I first got it because of that.

damn you!!!!! I was gunna say that.
Get a replacement back cover or use a rom with volume wake. Also use screen off and lock, free from the market to turn off the screen by pressing the screen and not smashing your button all day long.
You might have better luck at http://www.htc.com/us/support/hotline instead of on a developer forum.
Alternatively you could try http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/f/default.aspx?tab=support
Anybody else experience this?
I'm 99% sure I didn't do this, as I haven't dropped my phone (yet).
CPW are being awesome and are going to replace it for me, phew!

No never put it in my back pocket, always side pocket with nothing else.
Home button is fine, a little bit of grime picket up by the camera.
I also have a crack, and i never dropped my phone
I have the exact issue at the exact same spot. Found the crack a few hours after opening the package. Sent my phone back to Expansys. I will get the replacement today and hopefully the new one doesn't have this crack.
In a Portuguese forum I've seen 2 or 3 guys with cracked bezel. They bought from expansys.
Disappointed!
Ouch!!!!!
Please nooo!! Not another manufacturer flaw!! I escaped from a Sony Xperia S (famous yellow tint on bottom of screen).
I could live with a modifiable software glitch but not that!!
Glad i don't have one of those!
hopefully any type of design flaws will be ironed out by the time they launch here in the states. that is not good, though.

Exactly. My note has them too, those are normal.
But the cracks that we see above they are not normal.
I hope that mine arrives with 0 problem. I hate to replace my phones. Specially the expensive ones. Don't like to see a expensive thing with faults.
It certainly would appear to be an issue. I just hope they came with the crack, and not that they develop over time.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I'm not talking about those. There are two cracks by the volume rocker, one almost not visible between the rocker and the screen, the other is about a 1cm down and much more visible. There is no looseness there so not too bothered.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Dear,
I also have the same CRACK at same LOCATION near the volume rocker!
Something about the curved screen perhaps?
I had the exact same problem on my s2 before I bought this, I had 6 cracks on three sides of the phone, never dropped or looked after poorly. Kept in a case in my front pocket with nothing else. Samsung didn't want to know about it either. Said I must have dropped it.
Hope this doesn't happen to this too. Will be the last Samsung I buy if it does.

Do you play a lot of games or hold the device in landscape often?
I'm just spit-balling here, but.. could be oil from your palm penetrating the stock screen protector? or between stock and your screen protector?
Maybe it was there from the start but I never noticed it. Haven't played any games on it or had my finger there.
I really wonder what it is and why you can only see it when breathing on it, when I wipe it clean its really hard to see.
How easy is it to remove the ASF?

I would think it is the coating on the screen protector as well.
As for removing the stock protector, it can be done but by all accounts you will feel like committing suicide halfway through. there is a guide somewhere on here
Well, the thread can be closed because I destroyed the phone :good:
Time to get a new one and put on a screenprotector asap.

removing the anti shatter layer? if so what's wrong?

I have really mild green light area around the edge, which I can only see on minimum brightness, in a pitch black room, with a grey background. (Not my usual use case for the phone)
Nothing like this though. I am going to get insurance and keep hold of it as is fine on mine. Hope you get a better replacement.
