[About XDA developers] Hacre:
Stick around this is a great place to pick up trade. There's a difference between being an idiot and being a newbie. If it's obvious you try to help yourself when you're asking questions, you'll get lots of help from many of the seasoned developers.
[About XDA developers] jerdog:
Man don't disappear - be involved like Hacre just said. Help others where you can, and support the devs - and as you become a dev yourself, return the favor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Naruto8u:
I've been searching and found no similar problems, so im posting this. My internal sd card shows up on in my storage settings. However ever since i removed my 2gb sd card, i can't take pictures because it said "please insert sd card..." Also going to gallery, my photo from b4 doesnt show up because it said "sd card unmount or not present." However i can play music and video that was already saved. and i can see the drive when plugging into my pc. I took out the sd card b4 and it never happend until now. I even try to use my sis sd card to put in and removed and still not solved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If i can't solved it, i was going to reflash into cm7 or something. I have eagleblood atm.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
try flashing the the same rom again,without wiping data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Naruto8u:
i have try reflashing and it doesnt help. should i go to stock and then flash again?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Helixdimension:
thanks for the reply crazythunder

I seem to have lost root completely and superoneclick does not root my phone the same way it did before. holding down the volume buttons and nvflashing stock seems to upload data but upon reboot--i am still on gb

[HTC EVO 3D] iliapiano:
There are a lot a people arguing about flaws, build quality quality control and so on. Let's see how bad things are.

Edit: so ass this poll is going, we can see that many people either got a flawless or an acceptable condition phone the first time. Another factor is we have to remember that the average user does not go on XDA at all, I would tend to think people that go on forums like this are the more demanding users.

Maybe the quality of those phones is not as bad as some people describe, I personally had many returns, but I have to say that my last one seems to be flawless. I think that people should not bash this phone as much, some even predict that all of our phones will eventually have problems. I mean what can I say i don't think HTC messed up more then apple on the iphone 4 release. correct me if I am wrong.

Check out this post if you want to make absolutely sure your phone is good ( I have the light leakage, and i don't care :-) I don't see how this is a problem).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1144616. Thanks vWvSTATICvWv for the suggestion and #Winning# for creating the post

Just to clear things out, while there are many possible things that are "technically wrong" with your phone i still think that if it doesn't bother you, who cares they exist. On another hand many people will say that if we let things go by htc will only go down hill.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Haven't had to. Only issue I have is light leakage which I am going to deal with myself.

No tilted screen, overheating, green pictures, or anything major that would warrant a return by me.

3. This one is good finally, just need to fix light leakage
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
Once and only once because I just returned it and will return to the Evo3d once root and build quality is stepped up some. I like the phone but the build quality is subpar right now. I know the Evo had issues but the build quality on the Evo3d seems to be lower than what I experienced with the Evo.

I had the tilted screen, dot of white light near the search button, wifi 4g and radio issues and light bleed from the bottom to half way up the sides. That's enough to say that maybe I will have to wait till better builds start coming out. I'll stick with the Evo for now.

Didn't vote since it was a straight return.
[HTC EVO 3D] ExploreMN:
No returns for me. Haven't had a single problem people post about except the green tint on pictures thing which I fixed myself by turning off the auto-lighting feature and setting it to what the lights are in the room. Haven't had a bad picture since. So that tells me a software update to that part of the camera code can fix that...but until then I just select.

No light leakage, tilted screen, signal issues, nothing... I'm very happy with it.

Honestly, if I got one and it was bad, I would exchange it. If the second one I got was bad, I would return it and be done with the product. You are a glutton for punishment. LOL

[HTC EVO 3D] cinder19:
No problems at all
[HTC EVO 3D] boe:
I just had to return my second one. I hadn't done anything with it (e.g. no new apps) as I was traveling but I had used it at breakfast and when I got to work I couldn't turn it on. I let it charge for about an hour in case it had somehow died on the 3 minute drive to the office. It would only get about 10 seconds into the startup sequence and the screen would go blank but the buttons would stay lit.

I finally decided to reset it using the down volume during power up to factory defaults. It would then boot but it kept rebooting even though I didn't have any of my apps to reinstall.

The Sprint rep thought it was a common issue with this phone and I should wait for a firmware update but was willing to exchange my phone.

3...2 offset screens and one lock up! 4th one is good except for the little sliver of glue in the left hand corner of the screen...
[HTC EVO 3D] Cleantypes111:
Got it on day one haven't had a problem with it, although it does have slight light leakage at the bottom of the screen. But nothing too serious. It is better to just keep it than have to back up everything,rearrange all the settings and stuff for the new phone, and possibly deal with those refurbished phones (that might actually be worse) they give you as a replacement...

Edit: the one day I drop my phone is the day my 30 day warranty ends luckily nothing was broken (small drop) I just thought it was kind of funny...
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeyxda:
I think the subject should say "over 30% return rate" because that's a pretty severe return rate.

[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
My third phone should arrive today. First one had a wicked crooked screen and massive backlight bleeding on the bottom. Second phone has random reboot/shutdown issues.

I'm hoping third time's the charm.

No returns for me...Mine does have 1 dead pixel but I was scared I might get one with more issues.

I'm still on my original E3D. No light leakage, no dead pixels, no tilted screen. My 3D is working perfect and the only think that will make it more awesome is S-OFF.

never before till

I have always had good phones untilnow. On 3rd evo3 first was running too hot sprint said on lust if bad phones 2nd after two days return. Tech was tellung me amy lication eas in dead spot. I travel all over city. Tech came back pyzzled told me phone was not getting siginal.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
My phone had a similar problem and couldn't connect to Sprint. Took 3 hours to get it activated. Since then it roamed randomly where my EVO never did. There is a definite problem with the radio on this phone. I saw someone mentioned that the price the the 3d has come down dramatically. I checked locally and that is 100% correct. Locally I can get one for less than 300 and sometimes even 250. That's crazy low for a phone that's this new.
[HTC EVO 3D] NYCHitman1:
Why don't you get a replacement then? Pretty simple solution, if you ask me. Some have issues, others do not. Myself along with plenty of others have not experienced any issues whatsoever. It is likely in your best interests to exchange.

Original Evo 3D here. I wouldn't have noticed the pin prick of light next to the search button if I was not looking for it. Don't give a damn that it's there. I do not have the light bleed around the bottom or sides, but if I did, putting a case on your phone would solve that.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jjday7:
putting a case on a brand new phone to hide an obvious defect is not a fix. I don't know why that would be accepted. Some people don't use cases. In my case the light bleed was dramatic and went up the sides of the phone. HTC needs to fix the issue, not the consumer. We don't accept it on Tv's or electronics, so why on a brand new phone. No disrespect but just thought I would point that out.
[HTC EVO 3D] davec1234:
Not once no real issues.

Touchscreen went dead a few times, hasn't happened in a while.

Got lucky, got it on launch day too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryan00:
I think you should return it as many times as you need to. If the product isnt right or something is wrong and it cant be fixed, i think you should return the phone. Its my hard earned money going into a high dollar phone. My phone does have some light leakage, but you dont notice it unless you are in a pitch dark room. So it doesnt bug me at all cause i dont notice it. On a side note i find it hard to believe something would be wrong 5 or 6 times and you have a to return it that many times. If that is the case get your money back and move on plain and simple .

One.

From an unglued corner of my glass coming off.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
It seems that the increase in production to avoid the shortages that were seen with the OGEVO came at the cost of a decrease in quality control. Ah well, you live and you learn. HTC isn't a very big company but their phones are wildly popular. Perhaps its time for them to step it up to the next level so their mass production can hang with the likes of larger companies.

Maybe better yet they should minimize the number of models they offer... make 4phones high-end, big-screen in bar and kb forms and a mid-level, smaller screen bar and kb form, available on all carriers.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Yea, I agree. HTC has a crapload of phones to support. Way too many, in my opinion.

[HTC EVO 3D] btown247365:
All HTC has to do is put a timer option from 30 seconds to 5 minutes on the bottom row buttons and the light leakage issue would be a non issue....

My first one had significant distortion in the upper right, my second had dirt under the screen.

math

My math may be wrong but I get a return rate of 27%. a total of 365 phones, 101 returned. That's pretty ugly by any standard. My point is we should be counting phones rather than people. I swapped mine three times due to signal issues and gave up. Back on my OG Evo now. *edited: my math was indeed bad
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I am exchanging mine because of the crooked screen issue. Mine is bad and it throws my typing off. I took it to the nearest corporate store and the repair center and found out there is nothing in Sprints database about this issue and none of the employees had even seen it. They all compared devices and both people at the repair center had the issue, but not as bad and sent me to the corporate store for and exchange. I went to the corporate store and the guy helping me had never heard of the problem and compared his to mine and his was straight. He called some tech in another store who told him to exchange mine, because if I'm noticing now it will bother me every time I look at the phone. So we tried to exchange but couldn't because I traded my NS4G for this phone and I guess, even though the phone was only activated on the other guys account for about an hour, the 30 day warranty has to be done through him. Understandable, so I go home and call HTC about getting it fixed and they wanted me to ship them the phone and wait for them to fix it and ship it back. No problem, but since I don't have a land line I need a loaner, so I told HTC I would call Sprint and then call them back. When I called Sprint I got transferred to the Escalation dept. and got this sweet sounding southern girl who was quite nice. I told her what I wanted and she said that getting a loaner phone can't happen since I am sending to HTC repair and not Sprint. I asked what can she do? I explained why I can't just exchange it out and she said well I can kind of waive the deductible if you want to get it replaced on your insurance. She said, I can put a $100 credit on your account and then connect you to Asurion and you pay the deductible, but will have $100 off on your next bill. OK!! And the phone is being delivered today. My account says -$106.43, so my next bill will be about $25. Cool huh.

If you are nice and don't lose your cool with these people and kind of feel them out and see if you think they are really willing to help you, then you can get good service. If you are a prick and act like they owe you something then most likely you won't because I have done it both ways and always got good results when being nice.

Good to see I'm not the only one buggin'. Just wait for a new HW version, like I plan to do.

*OFF TOPIC* I can not believe AT&T added a keyboard to their GSII model. They just lost more than half their sales from people who were hyped over this phone. You can have your 30 day exclusive now, AT&T :p
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
I was forced to exchange once because my Evo stopped connecting to Sprint's cellular network. I never rooted and even went as far as hard resetting and leaving the battery out for 6 hours.

Mine had an intermittent issue with losing cellular network and just removing the battery fixed it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
Ut oh. This could mean that Sprint may and most likely will add a keyboard to their version of the SGS2 as well. There will be a lot of disappointed people and at the same time a lot that are happy about this.

Currently, ~34% of accounted phones have been returned, ~66% are good. That is terrible, I would go bankrupt if my bossiness ran at those numbers.

I'm on my 3rd EVO 3D for various reason. One of which has happened on all 3 phones and happens to everyone else I know who has an EVO 3D. Returned the first one for this issue and this issue alone as I was told by people on this forum it shouldn't be happening.

I get a load of FC's or apps just closing (with no errors). Mostly games (IE: Dungeon Defenders) though the apps just closing has happened at least once to just about everything installed on the phone. If it weren't for how great 3d movies look I'd just return it and wait for official unlock, which I may still do.... think I have a week left.
