[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
I dont think you can get more than $200 on craigslist for the Evo 4G and on top of that the internet is probably flooded with people trying to sell their old Evos.. so lots of competition. A few weeks ago people were selling them on ebay/CL for $200+ easily... but now that will just get harder and harder.

I sure hope its easy for me to get my $150.. my phone is beat up and rooted.. but as i said it works and the woman made it seem like id surely/easily get the full $150 credited to my account tomorrow.

I would of traded it on the spot if she asked offered.. but she told me to do it when i pick up my 3D. I hope the quote doesnt go down tomorrow... it shouldnt since every other retailer is offering $150 for the Evo 4g.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
fyi..

google sprint buy back.. it will take you to the official buy back program. sell your phone for 150 + any other phone you have. I just did. works just fine.

sold my evo and my old iphone 3g.. i kept my sd card .. just ship the phone itself.
[HTC EVO 3D] Itchiee:
Go to the Sprint buy back website and lock in the $150 price, it's good for 45 days...

You can either mail it in, or go to the store and trade it in for instant credit.

[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
I just did the sprint buyback with 3 of my Evos, I had them turned on when I brought them in. They checked to make sure they were on, pulled the batteries, scanned the barcodes and credited my account.

You have to turn the phone in with the battery, the phone has to come on.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
BB will buy them too. Only $136 but since I've already pre ordered with them I'm going to go ahead and do it.

Sent from the Evo using XDA Premium
[HTC EVO 3D] archtech3d:
I have my 3D, took my 4G in today in the box. She never even opened it and have my account credit. Another guy was there with an evo and a shattered screen... like seriously shattered as if a car ran over it. He had an upgrade, so she said bring it back tomorrow, as is, and he will get the 150 towards the 3D. I don't think the stores care what the condition is... at least this girl didn't.
[HTC EVO 3D] birdpwr:
Now from what I understood, you have to have bought into the BB buy back program, therefore in which case, you'd have had to have bought your previous phone from them. It was told to me that they wouldn't just buy back my EVO. I would've have had to bought it from them, AND bought the buy back program (which is like ~$59). I could be wrong. I will see tomorrow. I had already pre'd from BB so I'll try my luck with them. Either or, Sprint can't buy it back until I get the new device anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
What about charger? Do you have to have the charger when you turn it in?
[HTC EVO 3D] bsod169:
I really hope the price doesn't drop tomorrow morning. The lady at my Sprint store said the price can change without notice. : /
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
If it isn't 150 i'm selling it on craigslist. Sorry but if they take that many out of circulation there is bound to be a time when they are worth a little more off contract.
[HTC EVO 3D] psrobinson:
hard reset?

So, do you do a hard reset before you turn in the 4G?:confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] robpet2:
Damn I didn't know anything about this buy back program. I might have to do this. Save 150 bucks is winning.... More money for a new tv
[HTC EVO 3D] Pr20:
The question i have is can i just upgrade to evo 3d now and try it to see if i am ok with it and then if i like it give the evo back to sprint for 150$ at a later date?
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
I went to sprintbuyback.com and got a buyback quote from them, which is guaranteed for 45 days. Once I checked to see if the Evo 4G was still at 150 and brought them to the store. If they would have dropped in price I could mail them in for the 150 that I was already guaranteed; Sprint pays postage also.
[HTC EVO 3D] canteenboy:
I just turned in 2 Evos with just the battery at a Sprint corporate store. 300 bucks credit to the account.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Well i see someone posted about someone taking a evo in to trade in that had a shattered screen lol.Anyway my Daughter has 1 like it Her BF took it and pitched it lol i should say her EX BF now :) but anyway it was in good shape but for a shattered screen so i did the quote thing on there site and put it in a padded envelope and bent it up some and sent it out lol.

I look at it this way.On the buyback page it says 2 different things.It says the phone must work but in another section it says "any phone any carrier any condition.

So ill just wait and see what they do when they get it
[HTC EVO 3D] m3latino:
Keep the charger, sd card and any other accessories. They just want the phone on with the battery.
[HTC EVO 3D] mcampos7:
Sold just about all that yesterday on ebay for $230 (Buy it now)

note: I'm stuck with a katana II until tomorrow morn. OUCH!

How much ya want for just the hdmi cable?
[HTC EVO 3D] Product F(RED):
No, just show up with your Evo (unrooted) and give it to them, and they'll subtract $150 off the cost of the Evo 3D. With tax (at least here in NYC), the Evo 3D is $218 (without trading in the Evo).
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
Ive heard it doesnt matter if its rooted. But i guess it can be worth doing it just in case. I dont feel like researching unrooting and then loading up stock rom. Yeah im lazy.. hopefully they take mine as is.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
The sprint store near me told me they would maybe give $50 for an evo in great condition. They had no idea about the $150 buy back that was advertised on their own website.
[HTC EVO 3D] NoSoMo:
Odd that the Epic is only $106?? I wonder if it has something to do with the ****ty Samsung support?
[HTC EVO 3D] illdini:
Go to sprintbuyback.com, get a quote for your Evo (good for 45 days), then print out the receipt & take it into the store. If the store doesn't honor the quote, send it to Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
So once they credit your account, can I use that credit to buy accessories for the 3D?

Or will it only count towards my monthly bill?
[HTC EVO 3D] trim81:
just did a trade in at radio shack today... they offer $158 (pretty good condition fully working clean esn evo)

just a heads up.

Question

wondering: do any of these places buy back bad esn evos??

any sprint rep can answer this?
[HTC EVO 3D] NoSoMo:
Yes, sort of. I see ads on CL all the time in the tampa bay area offering to buy BAD esn phones as they reprogram them on the prepaid ****. Sketch as hell if you ask me. Bet the bastards deal in primarily stolen phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] trim81:
They bad bad esns for boost, cricket, metro, or pageplus.

A fine line but not sketchy
[HTC EVO 3D] zander145:
Just got back from the sprint store about an hour ago.

They take your phone, check for something (Not root) and check for water damage, etc.

If all goes well they ask you if you agree to sell your phone back for $150 (Sprint store)

You say yes, they scan some things, done.
[HTC EVO 3D] Platin465:
I'll just throw it out there: I want to get a Evo without going through the renewal process. Anyone in Fort Myers, FL area want to sell me their working EVO for $150? Somewhat less if it's got a bad ESN. Also, I'll give you more than what Sprint's giving you for a working iphone 3g. What they're offering is a ripoff.
[HTC EVO 3D] NoSoMo:
How about an Epic? The only phone superior to it is the 3D. I'm in St Pete.
[HTC EVO 3D] ewilliams2:
I'm in Melbourne and have a pristine Evo for sale.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
How much would you get do the nexus and do they have to be unrooted?

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[HTC EVO 3D] Platin465:
Thanks for the offer! But I'm looking for a non-keyboard phone at the moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] nol3n:
FYI...the rep I had dealt with at the sprint store said "as long as the screen isnt cracked, you're good." She also offered me the 8gb mini sd card out of my old EVO. So I guess all they really want is the phone and battery.

ALSO...around here there are independent retail stores that look like actual Sprint stores. If you do the buyback thru them, they give you in-store credit and not credit toward your account. lame.
[HTC EVO 3D] trim81:
If We purchased the 3d online through sprint.com, can we bring old evos in and get $150 applied to the account even though the 3d was not purchase in store? ?
[HTC EVO 3D] m3latino:
Sure can I did it Wednesday with my Evo 4g
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
Butcan we then use that credit on accessories for.the 3d?
[HTC EVO 3D] tekmaven:
I just brought a Evo 4G back to my local corporate sprint store today. They took it no problem. I had it on, but asked them if they wanted it on to check it or off, and the woman told me to just take the battery out and did not even look at it.

The EVO 4G I gave back had a broken USB port. :) :) I am still keeping my good EVO!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] trim81:
M3latino.

When u bring it in, they credit your account on the spot? $150??

Did you get a receipt and did you have to purchase anything in store?
[HTC EVO 3D] NoSoMo:
You like a challenge huh?

You know, you don't have to slide it open :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] NoSoMo:
Yes, just buy the accessories on the phone account. The phone trade in is an account credit.
[HTC EVO 3D] ffolkes:
Only a Sprint corporate store will give you INSTANT credit for your phone. A 3rd-party retailer can only give you an envelope to mail it in and get credit on your account in a few days.

And the sales rep I dealt with (corp store) was sure to remind me to take my SD card out, even though I already did.
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
I just went to Sprint and they gave me 150 for my rooted beat up Evo. They discounted it from the Evo 3D price and with the $50 gift card I was charged $16 which u asked to be charged to my sprint account :)

Also had $70 loyalty credit and I'm on SERO... I LOVE Sprint!
[HTC EVO 3D] :
i don't own an evo, but just ordered an evo 3d for my brother. he has an unrooted evo 4g. what's the easiest way for him to back up contacts and text before sending evo in? last time i tried to sync with gmail contacts all the gmail emails contacts came to the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] trim81:
Go to market and download a program called mybackup
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikedick:
I picked up my EVO 3d today also. I got mine through Radio Shack, as there isnt a Sprint store close by. They also gave me 148 bucks buy-back for my old EVO. I only had a 75 dollar upgrade credit on my account, but the Shack rep was nice enough to call and see if I could get a full upgrade, and they agreed. So I got my 3d for 68 bucks. Not a bad price!! With a little bit of the leftover, I picked up an "Otter Box" for the phone, and im thrilled!

I wish they did this buy-back thing years ago!
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
It was awesome.....New out of the box 3vo 3d, and otterbox defender....$68. Oh yea....
[HTC EVO 3D] loonytunes:
I was a little worried when I went to turn in my evo 4g toward the evo 3d.. She was playing with it and asked me if it was rooted.. I said, "yes," and she stated that she had to check if they could still take it.. Just looking at the home screen of my phone screamed cm7, but I figured they would just flash it anyway.. She came back and said the powers that be don't care if it is rooted.. She then asked me if I did it myself. When I said yes, she asked me if I was a software engineer or something like that.. She was obviously clueless at how easy this stuff is..

Anyway, got my Evo 3d for sixty some bucks.. Great day..
[HTC EVO 3D] prettyboyrob2007:
I gave my evo 4g to Radio Shack for $150. I only payed 50 dollars for the evo 3d. yay
[HTC EVO 3D] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

I was planning on Trading In my EVO at Sprint for 150, but I floated a Craigslist Ad as well. The day after I made the Listing for the EVO, my 4G stopped working and I got a Hardware 004 Replacement 4G from Sprint. As I had 2 Otterbox Defender Cases, the HTC HDMI Dock, and a virtually brand new Phone, I got $300 Dollars for my EVO. I left the EVO Unrooted, but did not preform the OTA Gingerbread Update so that the 4G could be easily Rooted via Universal Auto Root or Unrevoked.

I actually had 4 different offers for the Phone and ended up selling it to a guy who lives on the same Barrier Island that I do.

Cheers,

JJ
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zohaibshaheen:
so games like air hockey can be played accurately on this phone....? dont it create problem?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
I'm not aware of any glitches in Milestone touchscreen, it is not as buttersmooth as an iPhone, but it is really good and work just fine.

What I know is that there is either a manufacturing error or a design error that affects several Milestones, causing the Touchscreen to act randomly and/or to not respond to touches in certain areas of the screen. If that problem doesn't get your phone, touchscreen is good. If it does, it is good initially, then it is unusable until repaired.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samsamuel:
Hi. Some months ago I tried WP7, all very nice, but no reflow in the browser was a deal breaker.

Just recently I was NMapping my network, and spotted developerservices.windowsphone.com offering a raft of open ports on my machine.

I googled it and of course found a wealth of references to chevron unlocker,

BUT, they all only talk about how to use chevron, so, my question is, how do I now get rid of it? I 'm pretty sure I uninstalled all the wp7 sdk, zune and such like when i left WP7, and i can't see any likely culprit (though im still looking) so whats still there?

cheers

Sam
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samsamuel:
Bumpety bump. Anyone?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] samsamuel:
OK, never mind, problem gone.

It was a loopback to localhost in the HOSTS file.
[HD2 General] antaed:
Motto:

If you ever walk down the stairs wearing slippers and talking on the phone make sure your free hand is next to the stair handle... ;)

The phone went down through the staircase gap - from the 1st floor directly to the ground.

Aside from the aesthetics and the potential hazard of small pieces of glass going down my ear, everything seemed to work and I could use the phone with full functionality.

I just recieved the phone from the local HTC service after 2 weeks.

I thought only the digitizer will be replaced but instead they replaced the whole touchscreen assembly with 200 Euros:

- screen (digitizer + LCD) ~142 Euro

- middle chassis ~18 Euro

- keypad ~23 Euro

- service fee ~17 Euro

I was told they couldn't replace only the screen because the whole module comes pre-assembled by HTC.

I still don't believe that but I decided not to reject the repair (+ find another service + wait a few more weeks + risk the same or other issues) for the extra 40 Euros...

After thorough testing all day long I find everything is in place but I also notice some differences compared to the original:

-the green LED is not working;

-the screen is noticeably darker on auto-brightness level

I don't think it's a software issue because I reflashed the stock ROM and also the light sensor works, so I guess:

- either the hardware parts made by different OEM are not the same

- or, the sensor and speaker modules weren't remounted properly

Anyway, for now I'm happy to have the phone back and thought it would be nice to share my experience with you...

Edit:

not only the screen is definetely darker in any OS (WM6.5, Android, WP7) but the whites have a subtle green tint :(

i'm afraid i'll have to send it back but i'll go with another HD2 this time, to prove I'm right...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yea deff send it back. they use returns for parts, so you probably got one that some minor tech took a quick look at and thought 'yea that works' and put it in the spares pile.
[HD2 General] antaed:
thanks for the advice samsamuel :)

this cannot be "htc authorized" service quality, i am very disappointed...
[HD2 General] ubejd:
im 100% its not original lcd... i change lcds ( not hd2 ) every day and how you described definitely thats not right lcd... so like samsamuel said send it back.
[HD2 General] antaed:
things start to get wierder...

the screen seems to get better by itself :eek:

to be sure my eyes don't fool me, i compared the min-max backlight levels against both another hd2 (in android) and a desire.

i don't understand how but it looks fine now, even the colors. i use a custom color for the live tiles in wp7 - yesterday it didn't look ok, now it does...

still, the green notif led doesn't work but i don't know if it has anything to do with the screen. as i saw in this video, it looks like the notif leds are integrated in the receiver:

http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/official-htc-hd2-disassembly-assembly-training-videos-leaked

the most annoying issue however is something i discovered only yesterday. the g-sensor doesn't work at all in any android buid. what's strange is that it works perfectly in both wm6.5 and wp7...:confused:

as i found out, i'm not the only one having this issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1069578

it's like i'm playing in a "twilight zone" episode... :rolleyes:

UPDATE:

the phone came back from the 2nd trip to the repair shop.

- the issue with auto-rotation in android was related somehow to the compass (magnetic field sensor) which apparently didn't work in any os - solved by motherboard replacement (under warranty)

- about the screen brightness - it's not a bug, it's a feature :rolleyes: - as i was told, all the screens in the new batch from htc have a slight yellowish tint (visible on white) and i have to live with it

- the notification led works now
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CrashV5:
Hi! i really don't understand why my gallery is slow, laggy and unusable so i try some ways to make it works...

at least (after flash rom again, some factory reset, deleting apps..and more try..) i found that "wipe cache partition" make gallery really *REALLY* fast! (do from recovery 3.0, wipe cache partition is not factory reset, you lose nothing, so if you wanna try.. ;-) )

but...

what happen with /cache ? after a while the gallery became slow again, and i don't understan if it's my fault or what

could someone help me?

now, half of day since clear, gallery it's ok, fast and smooth, but i'd like to understand how /cache is involved with gallery

bye ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CrashV5:
hmmm 170 viewers and no reply...I'm going to think I made a stupid topic... :-D

EDIT: if you think your gallery is not so fast, try wipe cache partition from recovery, and then try gallery again, i'm sure you will notice the BIG difference ;-)

However, i made some other try, all work fine with gallery until i place VOICE widget on homescreen, try voice command for a while, exit and try gallery, it's became slow AGAIN !!!.... so i removed VOICE widget, enter recovery, wipe cache, reboot , and gallery fly again...

i really don't understand where is the problem....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] medvedic:
I guess u are using RFS file sistem... Things u say are logical.. When your cache is full, everything works slowly... There is another option to clear cache... Open Settings/Application/Gallery/Clear Data

I am using Galaxian kernel with EXT4 file system, and it is faster in every way...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CrashV5:
hi medvedic! thanks for your answer! :-)

i use ext4 with darkcore kernel, so thinghs are more strange eh ?

i try your suggerst to clear data from application settings menu' ! next time i found gallery slow i'll sure try this first

however, i think that, more modding we made on rom, more is risk to have some bugs somwhere...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] medvedic:
How ext4 works with ROM, that depends of kernel... Kernel is in charge for that..

P.S. You are welcome... We are here to help each other...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rhitey:
Well I just cleared the data in Gallery and it worked for me thanks much faster now
[Galaxy S I9000 General] minishe:
emmm,

let me tell you sth, if you use your PC or Root Explorer, you can see the there is a folder called .thumbnails. Inside the folder, there is a log of samll size images for previes which are useless if you have deleted the original photos, or move to other folder. These images will still stay in your phone which will make your gallery loading slower. Just try to delete this folder if you wish. Although it will recreated for preview sizes, but it clean the other and set your gallery free from jamming or lagging.

Hello Dutty,

I used your Rom's with great pleasure for several years.

But now my HTC Diamond2 has died an ugly death.:eek:

So I have bought me an HTC Desire S (with android) and I would really like to use the mail-notification you used in your Rom's.

It's the one with the female voice.

As I have looked all over the Internet with no luck in finding it,

I was wondering if you could send me the sound file for this notification?

Or at least point me in the right direction if you please.

Your help would be great.

With kind regards,

Michel

I would send Dutty a PM (private message) if he still is active / member on XDA. A post in here will probably been overseen by him.

OK, I did a little search: :)

He is still active, see his profile page: http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=338302

And there he published his email:	duttythroy@hotmail.com
[General Questions and Answers] miesman:
Yes i know, i have found his profile aswell, but he seems to have abandoned his email as it bounced..

He has also set his pm to not recieve..

Also tried his twitter, but no replie so far..

This is a 'last resort'
[General Questions and Answers] MonacoHias:
Uups, I hit the Thanks buttun but wanted to quote :o But, not so bad I think :D

I've another idea. hopefully more success: maybe in one of the forums of Duttys WM-ROM's there are still some active people. You could try to post a question regarding this file there. I can imagine one friendly user will send you the sound file. :)

Normaly the ROM chefs are not changing very often their individual sound files.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] worksfine:
Hi. Despite having the option to send/receive sms throught the flyer, I have plenty of free sms bundled with my phone simcard and would like to:

* type sms on my flyer and send them through my phone (Nexus 1)

* read messages sent to my phone through the Flyer

I'm currently using android app Cloud to sms on my computer which sends / receives sms through the browser but that is way too slow and inconvenient to use with the Flyer.

I'm thinking that there are lot of people out there with phone and tablet...there just must be a way to sync messages between devices and use the phone as an sms gateway.

Any thoughts?

There's an awesome app called Sync sms in the market and it does just that. i think it's $2 it's worth it.
