Not sure when I noticed it but I cant figure out how to fix it. Its on almost all roms I run, could something be wrong with my phone? Might of started around the 1.22 update, but i was running PKMN at the time, and switched to MeanROM 2.1. Im now on Viper4G and the issue still there, its mainly in maps and minecraft, don't notice it in any other apps or games.
On Google Maps, the street names and sometimes location error dont appear right, they stretch as if italic font is being used and switches back, alternating streets and such. In minecraft the background, buttons, or certain objects like blocks or mountains flicker in and out.

I feel alone in this issue...
Swyped on my EVO LTE
My first EVO 4G LTE (recieved in early June) had Google Maps flickering so badly that I returned the phone! Sprint thought it was probably a hardware problem.
I took a video of it before I returned it:

The new phone has never done it.

It looks like that on mine also (Google Maps)
Edit: On second glance, some streets are twisted (so is the font) but yours looks like Italics on even the straight streets. Is that a custom font? Because:
Be careful with custom fonts too, if any apps call on Roboto.tff they can look a little unaligned. - zmag

no custom fonts, it was on both PKMN Rom, MeanROM and Viper4G. I do wonder if its a hardware issue.. i but im S-off, i would hate to loose it, just in case it ever ment anything lol
In the end it was a broken phone. Not even sprint tech knew what to do with it. I got my phone replaced but now I am not S-Off

its not all bad, you still can run custom roms and kernels and flash the majority of tweaks and updates. just not firmware but thats not much issue. Some one did notice that if you use that full back up program listed somewhere around here, you can backup first, without root, and when you restore, the stuff saying you messed with the phone is gone lol not sure about the tampered or unlocked messages though

Guys, i really need help... Well my phone got a problem... first day using it, and im almost sure i will have an HARD time to exchange, since the seller is a pain, and i bought from internet
there is a small area, above the samsung logo and under the square buttons (contact, message, etc) that dont get touchs. about the "phone" "message" letters, you can see it here :

Well, i searched on the net, and on this forum and got no sucess. i know it seens to be an hardware problem, but at least im asking him, if it could be any kind of software issue, kernell, etc, i really dont know how the amoled display works.
The fact is that i spent all my money, that i took a lot of time to earn, on this phone, that was my dream, and know, on my first day, is becoming my nightmare. any sugestions of what i should try? if worth trying to install custom stuff?
Any help would be apreciated... it seens to be a small area, but just some things thant dont work :
on horizontal : u cant type "dot"
on vertical: cant scroll back the status bar when its down, cant click on "now playing" in music player
All this can be avoided turning the phone, but man, i paid a lot in it...
well, now trying swype, it seens it cant reach the far botton end, where the "dot" is. the screen doesnt seen to be dislocated anyway.. any ideas? please=/
no one had a similar issue, that cant tell me anything except changing phone would fix? im downloading JFD to see i can get something?
maybe kernell, something?
It sounds like the digitizer isn't working properly.
im searching for a screen aligment utility, it could fix my entire problem in a second... if i could move the screen about 2 milimeters up, it would "fix" the entire problem
If you used your credit card to buy it call your bank now and say the seller conducted fraud. Try your hardest to get the payment not to go thru.
I am assuming you bought it used?

i bought in a ebay-like shopping, there isnt mutch i can do, the seller was very honest until now, so i think i will ending get money, or other phone (unfortunaly not an galaxy s, since this was the only he had, and was the phone i wanted all the time)
so what i wish right now, that would avoid me a LOT of headache, was some way to bipass this.
since i dont use swype, using samsung keypad solves another problem. the bar problem isnt mutch anoying, since you can click return to make it go up, well, if the worst happen, and i dont get the money back, i think i will manage to live with it
seens im screwed
There is a chance you could get it exchanged through Samsung. I've heard of people still being able to do that even though they bought it offline. That or, someone correct me if I'm wrong, if you have the good phone insurance through T-Mo, they should be able to replace it. These are just things I've read, so I could be wrong

will give it a try, thanks
So after rooting and messing around with different roms and such, I installed an app called network that has been mentioned on here, to see about switching to 3G easily while at work.
Well I started noticing that the phone couldn't keep a 4G signal at all anymore, but didn't put 2 and 2 together because of some of the other stuff I had done, mainly flashing through 3 different roms in 45 mins.
Well I unrooted my phone, and got it exchanged today because of some terrible back light bleeding, that thankfully my new phone doesn't have, and rerooted the phone, restored all my apps on Mik Rom, and BAM, 4G goes screwy out of nowhere. So I looked through everything and the only networking type app I had was Network. I uninstalled it, and now instead of 998 ping and .5 d/l speeds I am averaging somewhere near 14 down and 71 ping.
Only change was that app. Anyone else have this issue after installing that app? Or if you are having 4G issues, and have this app, UNINSTALL IT!
just thought I'd throw it out there, considering it was making me really mad.
Just tested it myself and it's all good here.

Did you make changes in the network app?
The app is designed to DISABLE 4g. So if you made changes then yeah you would lose 4g.
Im sure this isnt the case, but wanted to mention it just in case.
I use mine to disable 4g since im not in a 4g Area but it works fine this way. But then again my 4g cant go screwy because it doesn't exist.

Hmmm... I notice your speedtest app actually showing an accurate upload (compared to the double digits people used to post. Is this an updated version? Speedtest had acknowledged inaccurate reporting on the TB.
I removed the proxy on my evo a while ago mainly because it broke the streaming music. I also noticed a pretty nice speed increase on top of it fixing my streaming issue.
Streaming works just fine on the 3D and 3G speeds are so so not as good as my evo with proxy removed. This could just be the radio or dumb luck. Has anyone tried removing the proxy to see if it has increased speeds any? I'm thinking about trying it but figure I would ask if anyone has given it a whirl yet.
Update:
I decided to just give it a try, called sprint, got a super cool guy gave me the MSL no ?'s asked. Was on the phone no more than a min with him, I am gonna make sure to answer the survey questions for him. I love getting cool people. Anyway just removed the proxy and ran some speed tests, didn't really make much of a difference.
I'm getting between 400-800 down & 500 up average. Like I said similar results with & without the proxy at least for me. I'm just gonna leave it removed, I can't imagine having the proxy will ever help speeds in the future. It is the middle of the day so average speeds tend to be a little slower. I have pulled 1,500+ down on my evo in the same test area at times but that wasn't an average.
If anyone else wants to try I would be curious to see if it makes any difference or not since different areas can perform very differently.
Yes, confirmed faster. There's a thread about this in the development thread.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?

oh ok. Didn't seem to have nearly the effect as it did on the evo but like I said I left it out. Plus I only did a few tests so I'm sure it will be better in the long run. A trackball would be kinda cool actually, I'm not sure where they would put it though.
Can someone post the original settings?

Never seemed to do much for me, I have my proxy settings back on.
didnt really do anything for me either.
I'm on my seventh, that's right, seventh 3vo, and I'm convinced that they all take green and purple pics in artificial lighting. I emailed HTC about it and was told that it would be fixed VIA an ota. Well we just got another ota, and nothing. So my question is this. Are there any devs out there that know the inner workings of camera software that can fix this issue?
Thanks.

A 3v0? i think thats like a score card or something i think? or a team size? like in world of warcraft its 3 v 3. but 3v0 is like a fail or something..
definitively cant be a phone
My last two HTC phones (HD2 and Desire Z) both had pink tinges over 50% of the center of each picture. Easy to see, just take a picture of a white wall. They finally fixed it as not present with my GSM Evo 3d; so assuming they have the same camera there is hope for the CDMA version...

I flashed to the latest update via recovery and now I cant reproduce the green tint anymore. Dark image, flash, no flash. So it is fixed?

Yeah the green/yellow hue is gone now.
I tried to be slick & just use the new update's Camera.apk but that wasn't cutting it, hue was still there.
So I applied the full updated (rooted deodexed ver) & voila the hue is dead.

Schweet I though i was trippin. Thanks for the confirmation. Anyhow this is where I got my deodexed rom which I'm sure is where you got yours. If anyone else wants it. Flash via recovery. You also do not lose root doing this method.

Hey guys,
So the way this story starts out is my digitizer broke. The screen stopped responding one day and so I was like eh, I'll bring it in to get it replaced. I have the total protection plan and so it was no big deal. The guy took the screen out and put the new one in right in front of me.
As he was replacing the screen I said something about the mms messaging not working properly. I just couldn't get MMS messages anymore and when I sent them it would show them as sent but the person on the other end wouldn't get it. So he reset the profile I believe and changed maybe some other stuff server side(?). since then the phone has had TERRIBLE data speed. I mean next to useless.

I wasn't sure at first what the deal was. I reinstalled a different rom, flashed a new radio to see if that did it and it did nothing. I went back to the store to tell them they borked it, but the service guys were already gone for the night so I have to wait for tomorrow. My experience with these guys was bad before this but now it's even worse so I want to fix it myself if I can. Any guesses?
tl;dr Fix remarkably slow 3G. What can I do.
Nope, it wasnt the store, its just sprint. Those speeds seem just about right for sprint 3g.

I wish that were the truth. The first two were using wifi to make sure it worked. The rest are on 3G. In my area sprint usually flies and I tested the speed next to a few people that have sprint as well and they've been way, way higher. In some areas in my region I can get 800kbs down. No where near as slow as this.
