i highly suggest being very carefull because many defects with this evo, my camera doesnt even zoom in and take pictures correctly.....this is insane. i will never give in again, samsung all the way baby
user error? mine works just dandy! recorded the whole Devils celebration over the rangers and too kstills at the same time. zoomed in and out perfectly.
That's tragic, you made the determination that there are lots of defects based on your experience with the phone you got. Seems kind of silly. I would say based on the number of phones shipped, and the few comments on defects I have read in ALL the forums I visit.
In all honesty, both Samsung smartphones I had were buggy. Not just defective, but permanently borked in one way or another. GPS that doesn't lock? Yep, I had one.
Don't swear off one company just because you got a lemon. Samsung has its lemons too. When life hands you lemons.. send it back for a good one
what do i do guys, return with htc... they said 2 week wait
sprint doesnt even have in stock yet, any suggestions????
Mine works just fine too I am only saying this cause I don't want people seeing this and writing it off cause of your one issue.

if it is only a camera issue.. can you live with it for a week or 2.. till they can get you another one?
NO product has zero defects?
you said lots of defects and yet you only listed one???
i have no problems with my camera zooming in or out.. so what else you got?
only problem with my camera is that sometimes it over saturates the picture, but it also works out to my advantate, i take pictures when its getting dark and the grass looks nice and green as if it was a sunny day. Lovin it.

since when has SS become the benchmark for good quality phones? They had a plethora of issues when the S and S2 first released as far as I'm concerned. My cousin got his S2 in Jan/ Feb this yr and it is buggy as hell and by that time the phone had been out way too long.
But anyway my suggestion: return your phone and wait for the S3. I think you will never be able to be satisfied w the quality of HTC phones because you have already formed a conception about them. Even the buggiest Samsung phone will be better than an HTC good phone according you. Return it and get another phone. At the end of the day it's your money your experience you should get what makes you happy. And by doing that you are doing goods as well since there are less negativity going on around.
Cheers.

It is just a phone... If you get that worked up, it is time to switch to a new hobby.
I have no issues with mine, get it replaced instead of opting for a plastic Samsung phone.

First u were jumping the HTC ship to Samsung because of one camera defect. Now jumping the smartphone ship altogether because u have to send it to a manufacturer who's willing to fix it for u even though u don't have the original receipt?
Bit much don't ya think?

Just took it apart and seems to be an easy fixable phone for replacing broken LCD or digitizer. I also checked there is 1 led per soft touch key on bottom so thats good, usually they would do one for every 2 buttons. The status led indicator seemed well placed, so i assume brightness of it maybe would be able to be adjusted in programming rather then hardware. Here ya go..

Thanks for being the brave one. And it's good to hear that each of the soft-lit key are powered by an individual LED, rather than just 1 or 2 which would often mean uneven lighting.
If I attempted to dissemble my Rezound I might just pop an ulcer in the process.
lol no problem, i guess now im just going to wait untill the full root comes through so i can start looking to see if the led's can be set to be brighter and if the speaker can be louder

Wow, and you got it all back together with no issue? I am already pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity of Devs over here! The DX and DX2 had ****! Phones been out what, 6 months, no one dared take it apart lol. They are just now getting someone to try to port MIUI, he bought my old phone from me to do it.
ya i take all the phones i use apart and put them together again. I had a disassembly of the Droid X on droidfroums while back. Should be exactly same with DX2.
No one was nice enough to show us here in the X2 forum. The x2 was the red headed step child.

I don't understand why anyone would continue to buy moto products.
The DX1 was locked the hell down and didn't get any "new" roms until 2nd init was discovered. I don't know why anyone would make that mistake twice with the X2.
Then the Bionic? Who in the right mind would buy that phone after it came out so late? How can you support a company that can't get their **** together for months?
The Bionic was an attempt by Moto to take $$ quick off the publicity before the RAZR came out, lol.
But yea, I didn't do **** with my X1 the whole time I had it, I just started to get involved in the Dev world in August.

yup, that's why i stick to HTC for my smartphones. my first was the eris, second was the inc, and now it's the rezound. i've used PLENTY of motorola/samsung products and damn i can't stand them lol
honestly guys i love moto phones more than htc. First off the thunderbolt pissed me the hell off with its heating up issues and battery issues and all that crap was so annoying, u dont keep a phone to use as a heater. When the samsung charge came out i jumped on it, loved it for the reason that it didnt heat up AT ALL even if i used the net for a long time. But it suckkkked software wise. The bionic was really good liked it a lot but still wanted a more detailed screen so when the htc rezound with the smoothness in software came out i loved it. So far with this rezound im happy, made me think good about htc again, but ya motorola has always been loyal to me
Eh, to each their own. I've never had any problems with htc so that's why they're ok to me! Lol

Thats crazy, I've been using my thunderbolt instead of the bionic because the bionic is so freaking awful.
Yea, my buddy is having so many LEGITIMATE issues that today Verizon finally agreed to warranty replace with the Rezound. He just texted me the good news. They said they have a "fix" due in December, he said that is not good enough. Which, he is right, we don't pay for these devices to not be able to use them to the full effect. Bad news for him though, he fell for the accessory package, they don't reimburse you for those.

Take it back. Why would you keep something with an obvious defect when they will exchange it with hardly an explanation? Walk in an tell them what's wrong and you'd like an exchange. They will do it.
It may very well be a dead pixel. Dead pixels are not all that rare. I'd say go to/call sprint and say you want a replacement. Who knows how long it will take for you tovget one though.
I would definitely bring it back....it does look like a dead pixel. I had the same problem with my old 2g iPhone and after a few months of use the dead pixel went straight across the screen overnight. Dont wait just tell them you are not satisfied and want a new one. At least you know too that you wont be getting a refurb this early in the game.

That's the only problem with 'take it back', you might have to wait a while. Its not that easy. Sprint stores still have preorders they need to fill as well (which they haven't done yet).
Agreed, swap that sucker out. Good luck on finding one though.. Hopefully the stock issues will get taken care of swiftly.
I had to return my OG evo within the first 30 days because it had the crack by the power button on the casing. Turns out, most of them eventually did this, but they replaced it and before they were giving out refurbs.

If you call them they will drop ship you one just as easily too...I'd call around and see if the stores have any in stock(not likely though)....If not just call and you'll get one shipped to ya for less hassle for going into the store and likely just as fast if they dont have any in stock right now at the store...

I got told this as well for my proximity sensor problem. They told me they are not allowed to just ship another phone out... such bull****.
I have a similar spec of dust under the screen in mine. It's so small I barely notice it. Unless there are more serious issues with the device, i'm not going to lose sleep over it or bother returning it.
This spec is only noticeable on a white background. I'm not OCD enough to be bothered by this When viewing the phone in a bright environment (outside), you don't see it at all. Having a spec of dust under the screen protector is much more noticeable than this.
Like many pre-orders, I received mine on Thursday.
I was disappointed, however, that the seal has been broken and there were scuffles and smudges in the back near the camera.
Perhaps, mine was opened by US Customs to examine.
I'm wondering if there are many others out there who received their phones in similar condition.
Also, I couldn't find any headphones included. Is that right?

The serial number, hex and dec number on my box were different from the ones on my phone. I had all kinds of problems getting it activated until i pulled the back cover and saw different numbers. The tech support guy at sprint i was on the phone with said he has only seen that 1 or 2 times in the several years hes been there. Customs must have taken it out of the box and put it in another.
Yall are just the unlucky bastards.
1st guy... Probably did check Yours and the agent didn't give a crap.
2nd guy... Lol that is 100 percent the agent was a retard. My of broke it and put a different one in it.
Cough get dna... Background cough
Wow that really sucks....I hope you can get that replaced...or at least replace the top plastic.
i'd be madd pissed.
denggg.. so did the customs agents just randomly open boxes to check? i thought maybe they'd take one from each batch or just one period for investigation. rediculous.

Maybe the phone that was originally taken out - was NOT but back in, but they kept the packaging/labeling and threw in another phone? Hence the mismatch numbers. Just a guess Would probably be easier to open a box with no label and just put that phone in the labeled box.

All the phones I have ever had come with headphones (and micro SD too). Odd.
It's a $500-$600 phone, and doesn't include headphones. That's quite perturbing.

That's really sh1tty. Sorry to hear that.
@other
OG Evo didn't come with headphones either. Box. Phone. Charger.
sent from 2yr old Evo on ICS
My last 2 phones were the EVO, and the EVO 3D, neither of which came with headphones. The way I see it is the headphones that come with phones are usually pretty crappy and I'd rather have them spend that few cents on improving the build quality of the phone. They're most likely going to cut corners somewhere to pay for the headphones they include.

back on my htc one as my personal.
so i filed a claim through assurant. ehh. not looking good. they dont have the lg g2 in the system. the rep was trying to give me the lg g2x. lol. i explained to him the lg g2 is a new phone that just was released. he said it wasnt showing up in the system. i was like its probably cuz the phone doesnt official, release until this wednesday.
i checked my claim today online to see whats up. (had to fax in a document also). they revived the document. so that was good. but the device being claimed was the lg g2x. i was like wtf. called them asap. talk to a rep. explained th phone situation. she made sure that they had to call me before processing the claim to make sure i get the phone that i am supposed to get. she said to call back in 3 days.
dont like this process. why offer insurance if they dont have anything. gonna talk to tmobile in a few days
2 weeks later with the insurance (huge headache i might add), i finally got a replacement yesterday. looked brand new in box. except the stickers were cut, so dunno.

The best YT vid I watched said something to the tune of:
if you need a new device, it's a great first or replacement. I would not sell my M8 to get the M9, as there are not enough improvements to the platform. Stick with the M8.
That's rather telling, I would say.

really there is no improvement. seeing the m9 review. the camera is not good. that why is not worth it,
Well here's a little "pick me up":good:
When you're all ready for it:
[NOOB Friendly] Root and Install TWRP on HTC One M9
Latest version of M9 TWRP, direct DL page:
http://teamw.in/devices/htconem9.html
Probably.
This will be a long version of saying YES, so here goes...
I had the M7, loved it. Jumped right on the M8 and "liked" it. My biggest issue with the M8 is kind of a silly one and it's mostly a behavior thing for me. Essentially, I couldn't stand how slippery the lil' bastard was. In my first few days, I dropped it on the pavement just carrying it to my car. Most of the drops were at my desk, just trying to do one-handed input. The thing is large, even for my large hands, so one-handed input was tricky, especially with a slippery phone. Now, most of you probably wonder, "Why the hell don't you just get a case?" Simple. I don't like cases much. I like the feel of the slim device in my hand without extra bulk. Often times, I slip the phone into the back pocket of my Levis. That's where my problems began. Sitting on a 2nd story balcony at dinner one night, my back was to the railing. The phone was so slippery that it slipped out of my back pocket and dropped two stories to the sidewalk below (thank God nobody got hurt). Shattered screen, requested my insurance replacement and got it in two days. The problem was, every single replacement (3 in total) had a blown speaker. After Sprint sending me 3 different replacements, I was so pissed that I switched to the Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S5 is my first Samsung and now I know why. It's a big ol' piece of sh!t. Slow, clunky, plastic, TouchWiz - need I say more?
Bottom line, I've heard that the M9 has a better grip and isn't as slippery as the M8, so I'm thinking I have to switch back. Just can't handle this Samsung junk. I'll be selling it on eBay with all the accessories (Mophie case, extra battery with a dual charging dock, carbon fiber slim case, and a shatter proof screen protector).

I really want to but I'm so used to the note 3 features like spen that it's going to be tough. Not to mention the much larger screen. I love htc though and dislike touchwiz but have got used to it. I really want those dual speakers though. So badly wanted the prime or larger version.... And I get the reason to stick with the m8 if you have it.. I stayed with the note 3 over the note 4 for the same reasons and am happy I did.
I'm honestly hoping to hold on for the note 5 or if this m9 prime is ever released maybe they will have worked out the bugs of this one first.. So tough when your ready for a change. The wait is grueling but I want to be happy about buying a $600 pocket computer. ..

Anyone else already have theirs?
Going to get mine after I pay my Easy Pay stuff off next week, hopefully there's some form of CM ready when I get it. I'm sick and tired of the G3's development scene, all the GSM variants get the good ROMs while the Sprint variant had to rely on some ducktape & staple version of CM (Seriously, they increased the max volume and tried to fix NFC for the 1000th time and called it a "nightly") . I'll be really excited if CM11.1 gets ported because Holo is damn pretty on the M8 but I doubt it's gonna happen.
I am coming from the m7 looking forward to the m9
Got mine a few days ago at an event here in Los Angeles. Loving it
Sprint store or Bestbuy?
I revisit this decision every upgrade. Times have changed and are their any benefits to one or the other?
Bestbuy used to carry a better damage warranty/replacement deal long time ago. No frills no questions asked.
No more. They take the monthly charge and no matter what it is, they want another 150$. Plus they dont offer a loaner till you get a new one.
Used to have sprint plan similar to above, but have not since they use assurion.
Your experiences? Comments...
