[HTC EVO 3D] skaflone721:
Wow, what a wall of text there. Look I don't know why you're so defensive about this situation. Kinda proving ffolkes' point there. Yes nothing is perfect, but there are phones out there with little to no issues, as opposed to the 3D, Sprint's new flagship phone nonetheless. I expect more when I'm dishing out $500+ on a phone I have to use for basically the next two years. Especially the "BEST" phone out on Sprint. I'm not hating the phone at all, I love it, but the quality issues stop me from living with it. I would keep exchanging, but each will have a different issue and finally after hours wasted, I might get a perfect one. People have done this, look around. Some people are on their 4th-6th one.

As I said, I'm happy yours is perfect to you, but as others have already mentioned, HTC has a track record with this. From a previous post of mine in another thread:

"I've given HTC enough loyalty (Mogul, Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, EVO, EVO Shift, and now the EVO 3D) All had issues but I lived with them."

They've all had issues. I've also owned a bunch of other phones from other companies including all the iPhones. Yes none are perfect, but they don't have glaring quality issues. When something goes wrong, chances are an exchange will be much better. With the 3D, you're taking a big chance. That is why a lot of people are afraid to exchange and are just living with it/returning it altogether. The next phone might be worst. Also most people DON'T notice these things, which companies love. The more we make it apparent, the more they will work on avoiding these issues in the future.

I have exchanged it only ONCE as I mentioned, but been through the exchanging game with previous HTC phones. That ONE 3D had all those issues I mentioned. It was a bought from BB 70 miles from here. It was exchanged at a BB closer to my home. Both had issues. Read around the forums, issues are apparent all around the country. Read around the several other EVO 3D forums and there are similar reports from people with quality issues.

I'm not attacking you and saying you phone will mess up, but if it is truly build quality/qc issues and not just a bad batch, there's a much bigger chance it will. Why? Because of the build quality/qc issues.
[HTC EVO 3D] zonyl:
A while back I used to design modems that were mass produced and really can't believe that htc qc is really any different than any other manufacturer. Problems happen when you pay min wage assemblers and inspectors.

What I will concede on though is that painting an aluminum frame dull without some sort of protective coat is a classic htc bad design. That leads to patterns of problems like this one but you really can't blame qc. After all, they could have just played it safe and covered it in cheap looking plastic like some other manufacturer..

For now I am lucky that I only have a single dot light leak near search button, but if I end up getting a chip I would probably try and wirebrush it all off and repaint with a more durable application.

Yeah man, my top left, closer to the screen, is peeling off as well. Doesn't look that bad... yet, but it's only like 2 weeks old since I've had this. I'm wondering how it happened because it hasn't touched any rough things to cause that. Maybe my ear? Idk.

I think the touch pro 1 or 2 had that shiny bezel **** too so its been like this for years
[HTC EVO 3D] profet:
dented and scratched to hell

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but after owning the Evo 3D a year its time for an update.

My phone still works perfectly, but the bezel is a mess. Not only are their scratches and white lines all around, the bezel has actually come away completely on the lower left hand side. I'm sure it can be re-glued somehow, but I'd love to replace the whole bezel.

Has anyone else done this?
[HTC EVO 3D] cickvoa:
On ebay you have just metal frame for around 18$ and full front frame for around 24$. So for few extra $ i dont see reason for loosing time and nervs with removing, cleaning, brushing and gluing another metal frame

This might be a dumb question. Does theme chooser apk works only with cm7? Any options available to install it on other 2.3/2.2 rom?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
It's there in possibly all 2.3 ROMs like Ginger Yoshi, Ruymanca etc. I don't think the theme chooser has been ported yet to 2.2, but, the themes themselves can be released for 2.2 ROMs if the theme creator so desires. (But they dont, since its a hassle :p)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak0r:
Thanks... I recently upgraded to cm7 but not very much impressed. So thinking to go back or try another 2.3 rom. Do wish to give any suggestions?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
I won't be the right one, since I am hooked onto CM7. Sorry about it. But, if you are not impressed with CM7, then, probably (note the probably :p) you won't be with the other 2.3 AOSP ROM's, since they are quite similar. (Except xdbg's ROM and DevNull - They are bare 2.3 Android ROM's, but they are still a work in progress)
[Xoom General] moecowboy:
Has anyone else seen a battery life issue after the latest update?
[Xoom General] sellingfear:
Nope I have not noticed any difference in battery life
[Xoom General] zehkaiser:
You might double check that you disable WiFi while not using it. I left my Xoom in the hotel room all day and never allowed a connection to the open networks here. Came back and it dropped about ten percent from scanning for a network all day. If you have a 3G it could be fighting to get cell service. Have you looked at your battery usage? There's a signal history there, as well as wifi and wake status. If you see your Xoom isn't staying asleep when the screen is off then start removing apps with background services. Tasker was killing my Droid X that way.

Hi,

I'm from Portugal and post this topic becouse i need a original samsung firmeware to my Galaxy S I9000.

PCode:GT-I9000HKATHP

Thanks for support

I had rooted my desire phone and installed a redux rom

I tried many ROMs (called no theme)

But the theme still not as the original

Now I need to make it back to original theme, But I don't Know how to do this?

or

suggest me a new stable rom with original theme and support AP2SD+

Sorry for my english ...​
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Balu:
I don't know if there is a real "original" rom. Try a sense rom. It is like the original (only a few changes - to the newer sense).

Thanx for reply

but I don't need the best ROM or newest Rom Just I need to rom like the original comes with Desire with a2sd plus.

[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
hey everyone. i wanted to do this after i chipped a piece of the finish off of my battery cover. so here it goes

INSTRUCTIONS

1) (OPTIONAL) get a coin or something and carefully scrape the logos off of your phone.

2) get an x-acto knife and some contact paper and whatever picture you want on your phone

3) i used a piece of cardboard to cut on. (a cutting mat would be better). tape down your picure. and tape a piece of contact paper over it (make sure the contact paper is bigger then your phone)

4) carefully cut out the image you want.

5) when you are done, peal off the sticky side, take the battery cover off of your phone and stick the contact paper to it.

6) make sure you have spray paint that is friendly with plastics or just a good multi surface spray will do. (thats what i used) and here is where i went wrong so read carefully. the atrix is a glossy phone. so to start shake the paint really well. also you should do 2-3 thin layers of paint. i did 1 slightly thick layer becuase a thin layer didnt cover the whole thing. (it was late, i was excited and i was inpatient(DONT BE LIKE ME :P ))

when i say layer. spray it on. wait a little while then do it again. im not a painter or an artist so im not the best at this stuff.

anyways.

7) let it dry to the point that its not runny but before its fully dry remove the contact paper so you dont take the paint off with it.

let it sit for as long as your spray paint takes to dry. and enjoy :)

side notes.

i used 2 dots of sticky tack to mask out the eyes because i couldnt cut out a pen tip sized piece of contact paper. the sticky tack reacted with the paint and became really soft and hard to remove. even hrs later. so. only uses that if its your only option. it does work though.

also... i used uv reactant paint. it lights up nicely under black lights :)

everything used for this mod cost about $12

if anyone has any questions ill be happy to help to the best of my abilities

Picture take with acer iconia a500 running android 3.2 :)

[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
thanks guys im glad you like it. and contact paper is the stuff you use to cover books. im not sure how to describe it. its like a big sheet of somewhat stretchy scotch tape. usually comes in a roll. i find its great for masking stuff like this :)
[Atrix 4G General] crea78:
Looks very nice!
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
wouldn't something like painters tape be a little easier to mask out a design?
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Yes, but you also need some kind of paper to cover the rest of the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] gh123man:
i used contact paper because it a great material to cut stencils/masks out of. it sticks to the surface. closes all gaps. and comes off clean. plus you can cut it to almost any size and it doesnt tear easily.

I formatted my internal and external sdcards today by mistake, now my download folders are gone, I was tolded this is normal since formatted deletes all data on card which is why my download folder is gone. I've tired downloading rom and modded recovery all day but I cant find them in root exploror anywheres, than I Google a random picuture and tried to save the picture but the download was uncuccessful. Can I fix this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
It sounds like this should be fixable, but could you please provide more information on your current setup (Android version, if it's a custom ROM, etc).

As far as getting ROMs and CWM to your phone, you may want to try downloading the roms/modded recovery on a PC (if one is available), then move them over to your phone. If everything was formatted and you're having trouble using root explorer, it might just be easier to do it that way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Before today my phone was fine, it displayed downloads that I've done etc. I was trying to install a downloaded rom thru cwm but it didn't display "install from sdcard" with in cwm. I than clicked format sdcard for some dumb reason and It put me in my current state.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
I see that you're on your phone now, which answers the question of whether or not you can boot, so that's good. If you've formatted your Internal SD card (which it sounds like you did - did it get rid of all your files on the phone?), you could probably just do a Titanium backup of what you still have and reinstall your ROM (assuming you're on a custom rom). That would likely correct the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Yea, the phone has never stopped working in that reguard, just wont download. But now that you mention it, I did make a titanium back up of all apps and data before I did all of this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Assuming that it wasn't deleted in the format, I'd recommend reflashing whatever rom you're on and restoring your apps from Tibu.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
the tibu backup is no more it would have been deleted when he formatted. look in your browsers settings for the default download directory. or make a folder on your sdcard called downloads and set it to there as default....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Yep, my back up is gone. I went to the download directory and all downloads in there say download unsuccessful, I than went to sdcard in root exploror and created a folder named download. I tried saving a few Google pics and they still come up download unsuccessful, I even tried downloading a file from xda and its not in my new download folder. I didn't set it as default since I don't know how to set it, I didn't see any options. Getting very frustrated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Settings>applications> manage applications>all> browser> clear data.

if that doesn't work try a 3rd party browser from the market. I use and prefer dolphin hd.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
That appeared to work, I saved a random picture and it was saved in my new download folder. But when I try and download the modded e3 signature file (which is what I've been trying to do) I see a quick download meter start and finish, after its done I can select close or open, if I click open I'm brought to rom manager with an install prompt were I can select or de-select a few things, than I'm put into recovery but it dkesnt show any place to install from sdcard. When I had to do this on my infuse once I downloaded the modded recovery it was listed in my downloads, id extract, copy and paste over original recovery but I don't see it anywhere in my captivates files.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Hmm It should be in the download directory...

You could always dl the recovery file to your pc and copy it over to the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
I know, I'm at a loss. If I can't figure this out or have it fixed than I may not be able to flash. I'm just glad it's my back up phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Would I have to take sdcard and place it in one of those adaptors, download recovery and drag/drop in sdcard?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
If the phone isn't showing up in any way when you hook it up to the computer (i.e. you can't select to mount the phone from the notification drop-down), that would be your option.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Ok, I was able to install the recovery to phone from pc, I unzipped it than extracted it, but after I copied the recovery I tried to paste over the old recovery in system/bin but I got a message saying I can't do that read only.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Before I say more - do you currently have the android default recovery or some version of CWM installed on your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
You're pasting in the modded 3e recovery I assume, that's in a place usually mounted read only. Using root explorer, there is a little button on the top right that says mount r/w press that THEN paste in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Yes,. That is the recovery I'm trying to so. I thought I already clicked the mount tab, ill try it again. Wasn't this difficult on my infused.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nash2000:
Ok, that worked but now nothing with flash, i give up. Ill download the rom from rom manager, once it finishes i get an install prompt, i select wipe data and cache. Im than put into cwm but the flash is aborted, says sonething about no such directory. And if anyone wants to know there isnt an install from sdcard option in cwm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
wait no install from sdcard option??

what exactly does "cwm" look like? are you sure thats not stock recovery?

in rom manager did you select the option to flash cwm? that puts an update.zip on your sdcard and then it boots into stock recovery where you have to 'reinstall packages' twice and THEN it will be in CWM
