Its aight, I think I like it better than my EVO 3d, we just need some ASOP then it'll be perfect. It is a sexy phone I'll give it that.
ive got another pro for you well its a pro fro me...
i was wondering why the corners are at the 45 degree cuts, then i held an evo again today and i thought to myself "why in the heck is the phones corner jabbin into my palm?!"
when you hold a photon, the slanted corners allow more surface contact to the palm of your hand, so its more comfortable and easier to hold. it all adds up now in my mind lol
If you want real joy to hold get the Otterbox defender. Although a little bit of a lint magnet, the soft gel exterior is supremely comfortable as well as super protective.

Agree... and definitely better than the evo 3d.
Hadn't thought about it but its so true

I don't have the creak at all, I find that the back plate is very, very firm and much quieter than the Evo I used to have as well as the 3d. I do however have the Otterbox Commuter case and it is simply amazing! The defender is way to bulky and really is only needed for construction workers and the like. But if you so desire big and bulky, it is perfect for you ;-) . The commuter with an Invisibleshield is perfect for me.

A nice TPU case is on the way, hopefully that'll fix the creek for me.
Update just in case you want to ask for this. Just got off the phone with a Motorola rep and told her about the creaky battery door issue and asked her if they could send me a replacement door because I didn't want to exchange my whole phone for that and she said no problem. She said since im still in my first year of warranty there would be no charge and no questions asked per se. She recorded my serial number and verified my address and said fed ex should have it to me in a few days. One more thing I could understand every word she said no outsourced phone center here. Great customer service!

Wasn't the same as my last Motorola experience, I had to jump ship from t-mobile because moto briqed my cliq, moto blamed t-mobile and t-mobile blamed moto insurance wouldn't replace,,and I was left without a phone. I hope this time around I wont have to deal.with that again. Im sure Sprint will take care of me.
Maybe since Google bought them out customer service will hopefully improve maybe? Just a thought.

So you switched to MoPho at last ?
so like everyone else I also got the free blue silicone cell phone case for my LTevo in the mail shortly after getting my LTevo. I put it on my phone the day i got it and have not taken it off until today. I noticed when i took it off the silicone gel case made the back plastic part of the phone VERY rough, almost sticky. has anyone else had an issue with this???
I think calling the EVO LTE "LTevo" is lame.

Just like calling the Evo 3D "3vo".
I haven't, but I wish they'd have sent me a black case instead of the blue
I got it I'm kind of mad my friend said it made the red look pink lol but I am gonna buy one anyway sprint disappoints with this although a free case is a free case

sounds like there might be some release agent still stuck on the case, wash the thing with warm soapy water and it shouldn't do that anymore.

I got a gray hard case with a built in kick stand, it if actually pretty nice. The kick stand allows you to stand the phone up 3 ways. I am very pleased with sprint for this, something they didn't have to do they did..that means allot in the days of companies like Verizon charging 300+ for their newest cell phones just because people will pay for it. Sprint only charged $200 then something unexpected happened and they sent their customers a case for the troubles .. That just shows how much they care about taking care of customers.

I don't use cases on my devices usually, but I find myself nervous about dropping my EVO because of how large it is. I'm glad I got the grey one because I might actually use it where if it was blue and sticky silicone I never would.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Since I dropped my phone (accidently) a tiny bit of the paint has been chipped away revelaing the metal on the front housing. Now instead of wanting a replacement. I'm thinking of sanding it for the brushed metal look. like on the desire HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293207&highlight=pimp
Anybody thinking the same?
I saw somebody to that to their 3D and honestly, it looked terrible. All the little bevels would be hard to match with the rest.
I also have some of the metal showing through, but would like to replace the front so I can sell the phone for more.

i might try it when i get my upgrade later this year, screen protector and mask the rest of the things up with very thin masking tape i can buy....that way if i mess something up i'll claim a new one from insurance but i'll still have my new phone =P the front is actually glued on the screen according to tear downs on the internet
Repair universe has the whole front assembly for 35 bucks.

housing replacement. very funny
Has anyone found a site or know where I can order parts for this phone? I would like to replace the back housing and it looks easy and straight forward. I tried searching on google but no luck.
Is it possible to get housing parts from a Sprint store that does repair?

Most parts are currently out of stock but here's a site to keep an eye on.www.etradesupply.com
Cracked the screen so I'm looking for a new replacement. Doesn't seem to be much out there right now. How is the quality on these replacement screens? Are they virtually the same screen as HTC's?
Edit: A bit cheaper at $129. Seems to be the entire outer case with screen, casing, and battery - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-LTE...=774358091691373252&pid=100033&prg=1011&rk=1&

If you want it bad enough.... I ripped mine off cause it was falling off anyway
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'd say it's not worth it at any price. It's just going to fall off again. Pretty much everyone I've known with one whether they liked it or hated it it still fell off soon or didn't function well anyway.
I always try to play nice with my phones. I hated that cover from day one but as always played nice (didn't rip or cut it off) but the day it fell off, I picked it up and put it in original box I also kept. My HTC incredible 1 and my HTC thunderbolt both made it till next upgrade with out that cover. Reminds me of those port covers on the older dumb phones that never really had a purpose but to make the port weaken over time, then go bad and phone quit charging. Not worth replacing at any price. But good luck to you if you really feel you need one!

I bought a used Employee Edition DNA and the owner ripped off the USB cover and did not mention it...
That site was the only one I found as well, and at first it was OOS but when it came back that shipping definitely killed it for me. Granted, it is shipping from Korea I believe, but it isn't worth it to buy a black USB cover... if it was Red I might have just sucked it up...
They may fall off "easily", but I have no use for the USB port right now anyway since I'm using a wireless charger... there are always ways to work around the USB cable to transfer files as well. Not sure why so many people look down on people who want to keep their flap intact...

I agree that it does get in the way... so much in fact that I did not want to use a DNA until I got a wireless charger =\
I'm just a bit OCD with my phones and given that the back is red, and then there's a sudden black break along the bottom with the missing USB door... just looks off to me.

I wonder why even replacement DNA Body kits do not include the USB door either...

It may depend on how you rip it out. Mine was already removed, but it seems to be cut and the rubber end in the phone is staying put and does not make any noise. I'd take your cover if you do get rid of it though

I would like to know if it really does keep water out as well, it says the phone is water resistant, but could that little plastic piece really hold back anything? FYI mine has been taken off as well so annoying to use i just said screw it and ripped it off one day. Haven't looked back since
For those of you that have replaced this rubber port cover, how easy/difficult was this process?
To replace the cover, you have to take off the entire back. The little port cover isn't held on by anything though, it just sits between the phone and the plastic backing. Unless you're an expert at taking unibody phones apart, it's not worth it because I broke the waterproof seal strip during the process. It was glued on.
Looks like you can get one for $6.80 here w/ free shipping
