[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
I'm having the "screen separation" issue where it starts to come up and move around at the bottom of the front of the phone, light leaking out shows up in the dark, etc.

Anyway... it's slowly getting worse so I unrooted my EVO and flashed back to stock (regretting it, a little) for giggles to take it to a Sprint corporate store near where I live to have them look at it.

The rep at the store, who wasn't even really interested in looking at my phone, told me:

1. He never heard of the problem.

2. He never saw a phone with the problem.

3. HTC never told Sprint anything official about it.

Long story short, he told me that it'd be considered a "cosmetic issue" and I'd have to file an insurance claim to get a replacement, or I could contact HTC and deal with them.

Lame! I just bought this phone a little more than 2 months ago. This is really something they should take care of at the store. They're the ones that sold me the damn thing!

</rant>

Anyone else had to deal with this problem? What did you wind up doing?

I'm sitting here rolling unrooted/stock right now, debating keeping it that way until there's a bug-free leak of the official EVO update. Ugh. I wish "ii treated ii" would tell me when the Nexus S was really going to be released so I can sell this phone and get one...
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
*2 anytime you have a disagreement with the store on a tep issue.

ii treated ii would likely help if you gave more "thanks" ;)
[EVO 4G General] Arnezie:
They tried telling me the same thing months ago, then a month ago I dropped it and shattered the screen. But $100 and I have a 004 hardware brand new not refurbished. And an extra charger, 8gbcard. I am satisfied now.
[EVO 4G General] StealthTH:
I did this for the same issue. The tech on *2 agreed I should've had the phone replaced and said I should go back an talk to the manager. Well, I did that and the manager denied my replacement request as well. Eventually had to take it to dan@sprint.com and they were able to reset my upgrade for this summer (it was suppose to be taken away). I ended up fixing the light leakage by buying a black paint marker at walmart, applied a thin strip between the glass and the casing and good as new!
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
No offense by why are people so anal about this? Heath there's little white lines on both sides of my screen.. doesn't bother me

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G General] unknown_soldier:
I have a similar story, OP. I went in this weekend to show them my blown earpiece speaker and the large white spots on the screen. The spots are definitely an issue that can be looked up on the forums here. As a matter of fact, Sprint had already sent me a replacement for the white spot thing before, but my new one has the same issue now. Any way, they charged me $40 to replace the earpiece, which is clearly a manufacturing defect. When I asked why it wasn't covered under warranty, I was told that I could choose to ship it to HTC and be without a phone for weeks. Then I was told that even if I had insurance on the phone, I still would have to pay for the ear piece replacement. About the white spots, I got the "it's cosmetic" reply. This is some BS.

After I left the Sprint Store, I went to T-Mobile and At&t to ask about how they deal with warranty issues. Both stores told me that if there's a problem that's clearly a manufacturing defect, they replace it for free if it's under warranty.

I've been happy with Sprint up until this point for the most part, but I'm now considering how much I really want to keep giving them my money.
[EVO 4G General] r916:
If this happened to me on a 2 month old phone, I'd be beyond pissed.
[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
I went to the Sprint store near my office today too. While putting on a screen protector, some water got inside and caused dark spots. Most of it went away, but 2 small spots were clearly noticeable when the screen was white(otherwise, not that big of an issue).

I told the rep about the spots and he asked if I had insurance on it. I told him I did not. He was pretty cool and said he could file some repair order and I'd just have to ante up $35. I asked him if they're going to repair the screen, he told me I'd get a new phone in about 3 days. WINNING!!

BTW, I didn't even bother unrooting. He looked confused as he was trying to find the dialpad since the launcher on Myn 2.2 looks different...lol
[EVO 4G General] Blitzpwnage:
The fact you spelled "******" wrong is hilarious, its his signature, you get a life. Going off on people like that is just ignorant, seriously.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
A 2 month old phone that you're gonna be tied into a contract and likely have to use for over a year (closer to 2 with the new upgrade policy I believe).. I'd be more than anal about it.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
if they choose to be an ass... then so you owe them nothing...

say you lost the phone... file for $100 deductible replacement.. and now you have a spare to fix things yourself... and use as you see it.
[EVO 4G General] culua:
all the official sprint store that i went they where professional and they help me but, don't go to those private authorizes dealer for sprint they are the real asshole. i made a mistake signing up at one and maan they gave me hard time exchanging my defect Samsung epic and i already reported to sprint and they are under investigation.
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
Some users have this idealistic view of Sprint in-store service, but that's sadly not the case for many of us. For what it's worth, I should note that I'm a civil, friendly, slightly shy person. I don't have any attitude and I don't try to antagonize the employees or get riled up.

That said, it took me several stores and several tries to get my issues dealt with, along with about $60 total of gas. One store was outstandingly rude, arrogant and unhelpful. The other stores were like robots worked there, depending on what robot you got, you'd walk away happy, or very frustrated.

The problems I had with my old Evo were all WIDELY known defects that Sprint has even acknowledged, yet the employees played 100% dumb, insisting that "all Evo's have the bright spot, that's a flaw in all of them, and a swap won't help" and "random reboots are just a fact of life with a smartphone this sophisticated." Wtf? Anyway.

Someone needs to do a hidden camera report and send it to Dan Hesse. :P
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
most the store level reps eat paint chips lol real genius's. most of the time they give me trouble ill pull out my phone and dial *2 in front of them and that normally changes how im treated
[EVO 4G General] ins0dus:
thats bs

I had sent my phone repaired a while back for a crackedscreen, when theyfixed the screen, 2 days later my ear speaker broke.. I went in.. told them that they had fixed my screen, but they now broke my ear piece.. they replaced it in 20 mins free of charge
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Gotcha. Ive had the lines since.. last year? But i always have a case on so i don't see em. Anyway I'm going to the evo 3d soon :D

Sprint sucks...worst customer service :(
[EVO 4G General] r916:
Never given me a problem, it's mostly dumb employee's who are either being dicks or are retarded.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Being as they hold the award for best customer service in the industry....;)
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Slugs probably mad that his mom wont switch providers so he fusses sprint
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
I can tell you this, the screen seperation issue is not a known issue, in the sense that Sprint has said it's happening a lot and any phone you see should be swapped out.
[EVO 4G General] nate.spangler:
You think sprint cs sucks you should call dish network
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
I was a dish network phone monkey once, we only gave a hard time to the dumb ones that dont take the time to do there own research involving reading the manual

[EVO 4G General] eventer289:
I've had great experiences for the most part with Sprint customer service. Luckily, I live 2 miles from the busiest Sprint store in the nation. There is really only 1 guy there that I try to avoid having help me.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
What tech support doesn't suck? I called verizon to fix our fios... and i figured out what the tech needed to do to make it working before he did.
[EVO 4G General] mobius999:
After a full decade of coming in dead last coming in first once isn't likely to change many people's opinions overnight.

Sprint customer service historically has been bad enough to be the #1 complained about company with consumer reports as well as the first and only wireless provider to spawn a top 10 search engine results website dedicated to fighting and dealing with their customer service.

I'm glad they have turned over a new leaf, but let's not forget what they've been like for almost their entire lifespan as a wireless provider.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I know.

Sprint would be best to change their name honestly.

But everything you just said supports that people are just assuming and not basing comments on their actual experience.

Sprint has changed.

(But to be honest we've been with them for nine years and never had a complaint until a few months ago)
[EVO 4G General] tx_dbs_tx:
Just a FYI... Anytime you have a warranty issue with your phone and take it into the corp. Sprint store and they refuse to take care of the issue, threaten to set off every single phone alarm in the store if they don't do what they're supposed to do. Since they are so worried about false claims, they can then worry about how stupid they look bending over to get beneath the display shelves to reset those all the stupid display phone alarms!
[EVO 4G General] ins0dus:
Hahaha I'm going to try that.. but how do I set off the alarms??
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst854:
Just got the tablet and put a different rom on it. I think it was the vegan one I am at work now and don't have it in front of me. Anyways tried installing the stock rom and bricked.the devise. I then got it up and running again by pushing the stock rom to again again through nlflash and it worked fine but now there are constant force closures to the point of where the tablet is unusable. I have reflashed the stock rom and no change. Any ideas?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerdog:
There is a sticky in this very forum - incidently you have posted in the wrong place as this is GENERAL and you are wanting Q&A as you are posting a question.... but I digress

I will also be moving this to the correct section. Please look at searching first as this forum has had just about every issue you could imagine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeJags:
My question is for anyone who already has the Transformer. I understand that it will connect to your desktop, as a mirror. Does this work for Netflix? If you have Netflix on your computer and you connect the Transformer to it, will it stream through properly?

Also, can you connect to your computer if you are at work, or just away from home, or is it when only on the same home network? Not sure I've ever seen this question answered specifically.

Thanks for your info.......
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zach Alt:
Yes, using the built in software, it should be fast enough. nascar.com uses a very flash heavy app for ausio/raceview and when I use splashtop on my iphone, it works perfectly with audio and their live 3d video with no stuttering.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeJags:
Cool, thanks......should suffice until the Netflix app gets ok'ed.......
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChristoA1:
Semi-related question: Are we sure about, hoping for, or excluding the possibility of the NetFlix App coming to this device? I remember some big controversy about most Android devices not being able to run NetFlix due to DRM or something?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quietas:
The Nvidia Tegra 2 processor basically lacks the hardware DRM required by the RIAA. They have ridiculous requirement, but Netflix has stated it is in the works. Motorola has been OK'd and it sounds like Netflix will come on a device by device basis.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcm_rx7:
Hopefully some devs will be able to get the Xoom version running on this tab (if it comes to the Xoom, or other Tegra device). Apparently DRM is built into Honeycomb, so I'm the hardware limitation wont matter. It seems like a better way to implement DRM anyway, it seems like it would make the applications more universal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zach Alt:
There won't be a "Xoom" version. There will be a Honeycomb version, which will run on the Transformer, the Iconia, and the Xoom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimDan22:
You wont be able to just go to the Netflix website and stream, they use Microsoft Silverlight for the DRM streaming

Currently only Snapdragon processors will have Netflix support

Here is a quote about Netflix and the Tegra 2 from January, 2011

"Netflix is using the Tegra 2 development platform to bring the Netflix experience to Android super phones and tablets. We're working closely with NVIDIA to ensure Netflix takes full advantage of Tegra's outstanding acceleration and security capabilities." -- Greg Peters, Vice President, Product Development at Netflix

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcm_rx7:
I was referring to the post above me stating it will be on a device by device basis. While I think it's stupid to do that, it's happened before. Think Skype.
