Not so sure about HTC build quality now. - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Ok I've had this phone since January. And I've kept it in a trident kraken case. And I took it off yesterday around 8 pm, and just kept it in my pocket.
Well I looked at the backside and noticed that the back don't fit flush. Look and try and piece all the pegs in the holes. Then I hold it and look at the side, and my phones chasis is bent. -_- Really out of everything my phone has to bend backwards.
Just thought I'd let u guys know they bend I'll post pics in a few.

There were a bunch of threads on this last year. Last I remember this discussion was September.
Honestly I'm not surprised with how thin the lte is I'm glad that there are rumors of the butterfly coming to sprint.
If it does it will line up with renewal, and with how big the battery is it should be a substantial phone.

U dont see that right past the kickstand? That's not the point I'm sure this phone wasn't designed and built to be bent.

The back on my white version didn't fit flush out of the box. I looked at 3 of them in the store, and they all had the same problem. There were other issues with the bezel as well. This phone has been a disappointment. I still have a year before I can upgrade

Not that big of a deal...
The phone shell is aluminum.....aluminum is soft and bends.

But it wasn't built with aluminum with the idea oh hey it'll bend that's cool
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 4 Beta

....and I thought I was bad with my phones.
Look, people. I'm not a little guy, and I usually put my phone in the front pocket of my pants. It moves around, it shifts sideways, etc, and you know how messed up my phone is from that?
Zero.
Are you guys sitting on your phones or something? Stepping on them? Because I can't see how my phone hasn't bent to hell, and I don't even have a case on it...
I dunno. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones.

The plastic piece on mine doesn't fit flush along the top edge, but it isn't bent. But it's dinged up, too. So it may be from all the drops, I Dont use a case.

So many variances between different individual phones. This is mass produced at its finest. With all the different data problems along with the aluminum parts

Evo 4g LTE Replacement Parts

I just stumbled onto this site that has a lot of evo parts. I know people were looking for a place to buy the back cover.
link: http://www.etradesupply.com/htc/android-models/htc-evo-4g-lte.html
Fantastic find! I know I've been hunting for a place to buy a new back cover because of how quickly mine got scuffed up.

It does look legitimate. Have you been able to figure out how to remove the bottom cover on the back? Ideally, I'd love to know that I can replace that at any time as well.

The bottom piece will snap off. It just has a sticky tape wich makes you think you're about to break something but you won't. Took my phone apart after jumping in the pool with it last week.

There is a video link from this company somewhere in these forums that shows them totally dismantling this phone.

The shiny back cover has some stuff on the underside that nfc needs to work properly I bet that bumps the price up a little too.

Chipped s pen already

Noticed my s pen is chipped. Not the part that you pull out on but the side that's flush with the phone. Anyone else have a pen that's chipping? Also would the store trade it for another since I just got it from the store on release day or do I need to contact Samsung?

I completely agree! I was just posting a cheaper alternative in case you were planning to pay for a new one
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk
good luck, you might be able to get it exchanged since you haven't had it 2 weeks. Most likely they'll throw out the "it doesn't effect the performance of the device" excuse.
Nevermind the image didn't load for me before. Well that sucks man. Best of luck replacing it. Going to take extra special care now when handling the s pens.
Day 2 of owning my device, I somehow already chipped a very very small part of my screen. No idea how either
I have the same problem I have the vzw note 2 and the paint is chipping on the silver painted part of the pen but mine is chipping from pulling out the s pen its in the little crevis part ill take pic now ... Please advice me on if you were able to get Samsung or Verizon to replace orv what you did

My Spen has been chipped since after a week. The phone was built crappy IMO. Im careful with my stuff and my screen is scratched and there are a couple chips around the phone.
Here is a better shot of the damage is just not right this device is expensive enough that they should use better materials
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Im in the same boat I here ya! Samsung makes great products but cut cost on cheaper meterials I too have a small scratch on my screen and I was babying the crap out of it when I was cleaning with a micro fiber cloth my last 4 phones over the past 2 years had no screen protectors and rarely did I get a scratch and I was much rougher knowing in advance from other threads that the note 2 was using cheaper quality material to cut costs ... My question is why they're making billions not millions but billions ... It pisses me off ...I want a replacement pen I know the scratch on the screen is so small that a screen protector will hide it

is this a common issue? I'm considering getting either this phone or the DNA, and build quality is kind of a concern with the Samsung stuff. I hope this isn't indicative of sammy's overall quality here.

The plastic for the SPen is rather soft. So yes it is an issue, but it doesn't affect performance at all, and the phone itself doesn't have the problem.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I didn't notice it until I read this thread. Slight chipping here as well.
Wow guys. Really? You guys are whining over some microscopic paint chip? Be glad that's the extent of your problems with this phone. Every phone is going to have its problems. Paint will naturally come off if suffers regular abrasion, either from sliding in and out of the phone or from us handling it. I'm just glad this phone doesn't have real problems like a poor radio or battery over heat.

the htc logo at the back just peeled off :(

hey. anyone know where i can get a replacement metal sticker for the back of the htc one? mine just fell off after 1 day of buying the phone..... bummer
I measured the logo at the back and it's 8mm x 22mm (unless this cheap ruler is off lol).... I found one in ebay but the advertised dimension was 9mm x 26mm
It's not meant to stay on for the life of the device.
You can always find the reference to your imei and serial engraved into your simtray

Mine too. If you have an HTC sticker on the back, you may have a counterfeit One.
the htc logo at the back is not part of the unibody. it's not engraved, it's a metal sticker that can get peeled off unfortunately.
i managed to superglue the "C" back, although the superglue kinda dried at the bottom before I could press firmly, but better than no lettering at the back.
i'l take a pic when i a get a chance

tech21 "orange strip edge" case

I bought it along with my Note 3 (N900T) because this is the only case I found at T-Mobile store, but I found it fits pretty well and the buttons aren't that hard to be pressed.
Did anybody else buy this case and how do you like/dislike it?

No cases at my store, I'll check other stores tomorrow but thats the style I like except I want a kickstand on it, I'll take whatever they have for protection and exchange it when more come in I guess. I loved the Body Glove Fusion with Durastand i had on my G2
I have the same case on mine. i also had it on the note 2 but it had a glossy shine to it.i dropped my phone several times and nothing happened to my phone. i really like these cases but i wish they were clear like the one on my wifes s4 not this grey color.tech 21 i found to be really durable.

My brother has this Tech21 case on his Note2, and the buttons are a ***** to press. A little overpriced too, for what it is (simply TPU), imo.
Does it make the phone a lot wider in comparison to a naked device. With the Tech21 on my S4, the phone gains about a cm in width and height.

I have one in blue. I like the body glove case I saw but I am not convinced that the screen will survive a corner drop in it. I'm hoping Ballistic, Otterbox, or someone that focuses on corner protection releases something soon.

That's exactly why I'm returning mine. The case itself and protection is fine. It makes it too tall and wide. I like the thin-ness just as with the S4 but it's that girth that's really annoying.
I also didn't like how the bottom cutouts felt while holding

I just went to best buy to see if they had any cases to which they did not but a sales associate told me that he saw someone that had the Platinum case holster combo that they had gotten from the best buy mobile store in the mall so that's where I went. Upon arriving I asked their associate if they had any cases for the note 3 and he said no that they probably wouldn't have any in for a week or two. I told him that the associate at the big store said that I should come there because he knew someone that had gotten one from there. So he says no but I'll check. About a minute later he come from the back with a case and tells me it's the only one he had so I was in luck. So I took my other case back and am rocking this until the Ballistic hardcore is released or I may just keep this. I like a lot of protection but I hate how it bulks up the phone. I also hate putting things in my pockets so I'm a holster guy.

Sure, http://www.ebay.com/itm/14115885092...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Do not expect anything perfect, it's cheap but good to change for the price.

How easy is it to put on and remove?

Little bit harder than oem (to put it on, needs extra press for click) and for removing you will need to use something like pry tool (forget about using nails), this thing is holding firm

Don't know I just got it yesterday. It does look like aluminum frame is just attached to top regular door. It increases thickness but I don't use any cases right now (expecting one in next 2 days)
Does it affect your signal any? A lot of people have said the aluminum frames, bumper or all around cases, seem to affect their mobile reception. Was just wondering if it did that or not.

I didn't see any difference while using this (except size and weight )

One more question, you put this over your regular battery door and not a wireless charging battery door? The reason I ask, I have the wireless charging battery door which makes the overall back a bit thicker and wondered if this would fit over this. Probably not but I thought I'd ask. Sorry for all the questions.
Neither. This comes attached to new door.

Ah okay....thanks for answering the questions! :good: It won't work for me as I love my wireless charging door and looking for something to go over it to protect my phone somewhat.
Not sure could this aluminum part be removed and attached (glued) to charging cover. Don't have one to try it

Anything is possible. I've seen so many DIY here on this forum, it spins my mind. I'm not quite that handy but it's definitely an idea I'd like to see someone else try

Could you please post a picture so we can see what you mean? Also, it would help to see if their design is moddable.
I will post some new pictures or maybe even a video over the weekend

nice! i was looking to replace my white back cover for something different.
Sorry, I have been busy but here are couple pictures that might give you idea about possible modding. I almost broke this thing trying to show you more, but decided to stop since I have no wireless charging cover to experiment with it. I used red marking so you can see where is "lower" black cover (aluminum is attached to it, don't know how - didn't remove more than on picture itself but pic 3 shows something like clips), 2nd picture is same door from inside
you have cute hands
it's a aluminum plate, so wireless charging is out.
quality looks good.
