If directed at me the Zagg skin is fine and not peeling around the edges at all - my girlfriend has had one on her phone for a year + and no probs at all. Regarding the invisible shield on the screen - a little harder to apply and all comes down to your initial application (have done shed loads of them so I am all good with mine) - but it has a lifetime warranty anyway - so if it went crap or starts to peel pull it off send it back and get a replacement - you " had to get your device serviced ";)

I have an Intel Core i7 badge on the palmrest of my dock. I would take a picture and show it but everyone should know what the badge looks like
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] sooperwill:
i'm thinking about getting a CF Skin, are they pretty easy to take off? i wonder if it leaves a plastic residue
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xzxzx90:
its a free app but i cant find it

if someone can upload it or give me a link to download the apk to my computer that would be great
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
you didn't have to make another thread on a topic you've already started one on...

Where's bierce when you need him _>

Edit: Ill look for the apk after work though
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Ahahaha no commit.....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
Nope sorry. I'm running a 2.2 rom and have definitely downloaded other 2.2+ only apps before..so I dunno what the issue is.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
I'll try to find it... What is PXLite anyway?

I sent it to you...
[Dell Streak 7] Tannerlynn:
So I have a dell streak 7 and I am tired of waiting for dell to release the update I am not all that great with romming my devices. I am on a Mav and I was wondering is there an easy way to flash HoneyStreak on my device?

Thanks

Tanner
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
Whats a mav? Do you mean Mac? Have you tried using BootCamp?
[Dell Streak 7] Tannerlynn:
Yes Sorry I mean Mac And I do have Windows Windows on here as well... Does SuperoneClick Install roms as well as rooting the device
[Dell Streak 7] Watcher64:
They way to install Honeystreak, is in the first post of the honeystreak theread, that is really the only way to do it ... You have to use NVflash ....
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Anyone got a replacement from sprint in the past couple days or so? If so what Hboot did it have, and was it a refurb? I am talking about via mail, not from a store. Unless maybe the store ordered it for you. Am I leaving any scenarios out? lol I could care less about a refurb, just want to be able to root with Alpha ;)

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Nobody has gotten a replacement lately?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
I'm wondering the same, guy at sprint ordered me one, and I'm ocd about having refurbs lol.. won't get it till next week or so though..
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
I am not worried so much about a refurbished as I am the 1.50 hboot. The Evo 3d.is cool and all but without custom kernel it may as well be stock. I guess if worse comes to worse we can buy one from eBay and sell our replacements!
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I should hopefully get a replacement one soon too. I'll update or post here with the results.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
won't the kernal source for the latest OTA be released eventually?
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Yes, but if the device is unlocked with HTC method Roma are flashable but not kernels. Or from what I have read anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
Well I hope that my other phone will be older or new without the ota
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
I got my tracking info, says shipment weighs .60 lbs, my original shipment weighed 1.30 lbs. I got a REFURB :eek: Its OK as long as it is Alpha approved, lol. Oh and no green hue, no dead pixels, no overheating, no tilted screen, did I leave anything out? Oh, yeah, NO LIGHT BLEED! lmao
[HTC EVO 3D] kneeldug:
I got a replacement last Friday.

1.40 bootloader!

##786# says it is new, not refurbished.

It does, however, randomly reboot 2x a day or more. Once it starts rebooting, only a clean shutdown will atio it from recurring every 5 minutes.

It is more stable than what it replaced, but not stable enough.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Really, did it come with battery, back, book, and all that?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
Did this come from sprint? If so was it a store or online???

What bootloader did you get? Where did u get your replacement?
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
Looks like you flashed over something you shouldn't have. If you can post the updater script I will be able to tell you which one it was but unfortunately you'll still need to get it replaced.

Also make sure your kitchen is up to date, the pre evo 3d versions didn't know which partitions to use and will set it to the wrong one.
[HTC EVO 3D] masamichi7:
I had an in store Sprint replacement two days ago that was still Hboot 1.40.

sent from my 3v0
[HTC EVO 3D] kneeldug:
I got mine through sprint's insurance. It was the "mail it to your house then put the old one in the included prepaid envelope" thing.

It was a phone and back plate only...no battery, no memory card, no charger, no retail packaging.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Got mine about a hour ago, came with 1.40 Hboot. Phone is also brand new and I dont see any issues, yet. It came like the above post, a phone and a back, nothing more. I did S-off before activating that way I avoid error 16, or at least it should.

Chat with sprint for activation went smoothly, nandroided and loaded my back up on new phone. It's like a bad dream and miss it over, lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
Going to sprint in a few should I return my current phone to stock?
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
Got mine... It's hboot 1.3 so yay hah also its brand new, no refurbw
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Awesome! We lucked out, in a few weeks all of these will be 1.50, though I read last night that kernel can be flashed by using fastboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
Yeah we were both I. That thread and I had it working, but I will be more happy with genuine s_off lll
[HTC EVO 3D] Jorge330823:
When I was in sprint getting an insurance swap (they gave me a nexus as a replacement to the father evo) there was 3 or 4 people in the store getting replacements because there phones would power cycle or just shut down and they would have to batt pull on it. One guys had gotten so bad it didn't wanna turn on unless he went into bootloader
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
So upon further inspection I found 2 dead pixels. Question is can I take screen from old 3D and place in new 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jorge330823:
Its possible but remember HTC, sprint, and assurion will no longer honor any warranties or insurances if you do this. (I wanted to do this with my second evo. The viber went out on the first one and the second one had screen flickering so I asked if I could just take the screen off my OG evo and put it on the replacement and sprint told me I could but it would void everything if I did it myself)
[HTC EVO 3D] kneeldug:
a few pixels are ok

My replacement has one bad pixel. I now only have 518,399 pixels. It seems fine and I am at peace with it.

It beats having a chance at zero pixel phone AND 1.50 hboot. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] jlear3:
Mine has 0 dead pixels and the backing feels better than the first as well.. I'm on hboot 1.3 how do I go to 1.4 or should I just leave it?
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
One Q, so that ##786#, you just dial that and it tells you if you have a refurb or new? What message would you look for? Sorry, never knew how to find that out before...
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Refurbishment Status, it will say Yes or No

I would leave it, do revolutionary then apply the Eng Hboot.

That a damn good way to look at it! One of the dead ones I have I cant even see unless I look hard. The other is all the way at the bottom, a place my eyes are never at.

I dont understand how a 3rd party can void out your policy. Assurion is coverage no matter what you do to your phone, right? Would sprint do the swap?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jorge330823:
Assurion doest cover it no matter what well yeah it does but then they pull out that great deductible but who knows call your local sprint store or maybe call a sprint store in another state and find out
[HTC EVO 3D] cracker0309:
I picked up my replacement last night. I asked the Sprint rep not to update it before we got started.

Mine came with hboot 1.40 and I might be wrong but I could swore it came with software 1.13
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
They needed some paperwork from me they said they'll call me tomorrow and probably have it shipped by then, I'll post with results. I hope I get as lucky as you guys and still get the 1.3/1.4 HBoot. I PRAY for no dead pixels, I'm so OCD about stuff like that. My original phone is flawless in every way (until the glass got smashed -.-) I hope the replacement will as well.

I will post with details.

Here is a picture of my (smashed) one. Yours (if you're on stock rom) will NOT (unless its refurbed) say 'refurbished date' it'll say 'Reconditioned Status', also the reason mine says that is because I'm on another ROM, when I did a restore it said 'No' under reconditioned status.

Oh one more thing, check the life timer, that includes all the data, calls and time spent in calls. If it matches what you've been using, then its new. Furthermore, at the very end it'll show you the activation date.

Here's the pic:
[HTC EVO 3D] khshapiro:
i got a replacement yesterday, band new phone hboot 1.30

still has the same reboot and or having to pull the battery to restart issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
That is a software issue, not hardware.

Glad to hear it was a new phone though =D gives me hope!
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Somebody said these reboots maybe be a battery issue, he broke down and explained some stuff I didnt quite understand. But here is the LINK nothing to back up his theory though. You getting the same reboots on a new phone, could it be the battery?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jorge330823:
Software I'm assuming. I had the exact same issue (my cousin did as well) on the OG evo after gingerbread update. That was when sprint handed me a nexus instead of giving me another evo. I don't think they are liking gingerbread or it may be that they are not handling the built in task killer. Who knows
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
Awesome news! I got mine today and it was in a BRAND NEW box, everything was in it. Here are pictures, click for a MUCH larger one:

Box, notice the sealed stickers and how it isn't a refurbed box:

Here's the phone with all the default HTC stickers and battery/SD card:

Pictures of the bootloader version/usage, new phone on left, my cracked on on right:

Is that weird or what? Anyone else get EVERYTHING as if you bought the phone off the shelf? I have literally everything, charger and all, here's a pic of everything in the box (excuse my mess of a table =p):
[HTC EVO 3D] kneeldug:
You got lucky with the new charger, battery, and sd. Mine was just the phone and the backplate, but they had the clingy plastic on them like they were new and the refurbished check states new.
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
If you find a store that's nice enough to not send you to asurion, (unless you havent past 30 days since your purchase) do it there and just make sure they dont apply the updates, by mail, i bet you'll get one with the Hboot 1.5
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
No you wont... As of 9/1/11 you will most likely get 1.4 or 1.3. Personal experience as well as at least three other people who posted here...
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Yep, by mail I got 1.40 Hboot, this was 3 days ago. To the guy who got the whole shebang, did you get that from sprint or assurion? Also were you within your 30 days?
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
I guess it's the luck of the draw cause i have a couple friends that returned theres by mail and there new ones had 1.5, i'd do it at the store just to be safe and not let them update it.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
When you first boot up the phone it will try to update automatically. If your friends didn't stop it then that's why, OR yeah, the Sprint reps, I would have demanded a new one if they did that to mine =p
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Agree, @ first boot it tries to update firmware. If you don't hit cancel its over with! :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] roninep:
Replacement phone via phone

Tried to go into a store in Florida today to get a replacement. They refused, telling me that all replacements must go through Asurion. They said they will only take in repairs. I pushed the issue, manager, etc., but that is the policy they said.

I submitted my claim via phone and it should be here Wednesday. I requested it come DE-activated, assuming that the less they fiddle with it the better my chance for no OTA issue. Did it really matter ? What does DE versus Activated do?

And of course, fingers crossed for 1.3 or 1.4.

Why cant I get a replacement phone at the store, or was I lied to ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jorge330823:
Might be that stores policy I always just go to the store and in 10 minutes I'm out and it normally takes 2 days
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
If they had you use assurion/insurance then the phone was not replaced under warranty. Did you have to pay $100? If not then sprint did replace under warranty but you may be past your 30 days. I have never gotten a replacement from the store the same day I walked in. I have read where others did it, I never get that lucky, lol. Hope ya get a 1.40 or lower!
[HTC EVO 3D] roninep:
Ahhh

Makes sense. Im out of the window at 60 days so it wouldnt be a warranty/replacement phone but a insurance/replacement phone.

Yes, $100 for the replacement.

But its still crap that I cant walk into a store and get a phone, and

instead have to wait for it to be delivered. Warranty or insurance wise...

Thats the business way now. Farm everything out to 3rd parties.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Warranty is 1 year, I got my phone June 22nd and it was replaced for free under warranty less than 1 week ago. If they had you pay $100 then they must've deemed the damage something caused by you, and not warranty. However if this is not the case I would call sprint and raise hell! What exactly is/was wrong with your device?
[HTC EVO 3D] NVETHIS:
I lost my phone while on vacation for my birthday in Aug. I called asurion because I needed it shipped to my condo rather than home. I got a refurb phone and I requested it come de-activated. It was hboot 1.50 I have rooted via htc unlock, however it still says S-on, but I have put a custom ROM on. I'm having tons of issues with this phone though, calling to get it replaced. I hate refurb phones!

-Slevin
[HTC EVO 3D] roninep:
My issue was water damage and completely my fault. I understand now why the insurance path rather than the warranty path.

Im concerned about the h-boot and will find out tomorrow.

What issues have you encountered with the refurb?

Also, how do I find out if its a refurb?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Earlier in this thread it explains how to check for new or refurbished. Good luck, I hope you 1.40 or lower! As far as the other guy having trouble did you pull the boot image and flash that separate using fastboot. That could be your issue, your rom my need its baked in kernel not the stock one.
[HTC EVO 3D] roninep:
Sorry about that redundant question. Ive been in the Viperom thread for months now and get tired of repeated questions people ask. Now I did it too....

Got my phone today. Asurion box, but full phone, battery, sdcard. And Asurion sticker behind battery.

##786# said Reconditioned "no" and calls/data was "0". Hboot was 1.40. S-ON

S-off took 3 tries but it took. Viperom 1.3 flashed.

I did redo ##786# and noted it now said "Refurbished" with unavailable after it.

So far it seems straight. Hopefully I can keep it that way. Thanks all.
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
I had to get another replacement (the previous one I got kept rebooting) anyway, BOTH of the phones I got were 100% new, the first one (that I had to return) came in the original packaging like I posted, the second one (that I currently have and is flawless except for one stuck pixel) came in the 'refurbished box with the sticker' and an SD card and (yet ANOTHER battery).

Anyway, all three of hte phones I've owned (including the original one whose screen I smashed) display "Refurbished Date/Status" as unavailable when you flash another ROM. If you were to restore to stock RUU then it will go back to saying "Reconditioned - No".

The phone you got is brand new =)

EDIT: I can confirm that as of 9/6/11 the phone I've received is NOT refurbed AND brand new with hboot 1.4. For all those of you who get new phones, PLEASE pay attention when you first boot it up, the phone will try to automatically update the software and if you don't stop it, it'll update with the new RUU to hboot 1.5. As far as I know from this thread and another which I monitor (since I've had so many probs with Asurion and the first replacement phone) NO ONE has gotten a 1.5 phone OR an actual refurbished one.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
Nice score with all the batteries!
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
Yeah haha I have so many idk what to do with them.

Anyway I called to confirm they got my phone that I shipped back, after telling me yeah the rep asked how my new replacement was. I told him about the dead pixel and he offered to send another one. Didn't see the harm so I accepted, will post with updates as if it's returned or not :p

Sent from my Evo3D Shooter.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrwright83:
How many you guys received your replacement 3d's new with the boxes, cause I'm going through the same thing as you guys

Mrwright83's EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] nas02302:
when sprint gets replacement phones they are usually flashed with the newest OS which updates the hboot to 1.50.

repair centers take returns sometimes and turn them into rec which are used to replace customer's phone, that how i got my replacement and i it was at 1.40, all those refurbished phone that came from factory were on 1.50.
[HTC EVO 3D] roninep:
MrRight - My replacement phone cam in a yellow box that said Sprint on the upper right, Asurion on the lower right, and "Sprint certified replacement device inside" in the middle.

I opened it and the phone was shrink wrapped with plastic attached inside the box. The back of the case, and battery, were behind it.

It came with 1.4 and I requested it be "inactivated". When it came I booted up and it called the sprint line. I never got a message asking to update to 1.5 (like I saw on my other phone updating to 1.4 from 1.3), and even after getting my connection reset by Sprint, it never asked me. I immediately flashed the ROM and have had no update requests to 1.5.

Cordell - youre right about the battery. Its 40+ for a new factory battery. Not a bad deal with a 100 deductible.

Racer - you get the phone yet? Any change with the h-boot?

Nas - do you think I got a new phone or replacement? It did have the Asurion sticker behind the battery, but it sure looks brand new, and the Recalibration said "NO". Either way its running like a champ so far. Still I'd like to really know which one I have.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bromar:
Ok first of all this is great I found this thread :). I am having the worse of these issues imagineable. My evo died and WILL NOT BOOT at all. I mean no fast etc etc. So I read up and saw this was going on. I was like cool np I can get it replaced under warranty. Well I first msged htc and told them and they said to contact sprint. Well I am not a sprint customer. I purchashed the phone without their agreement (just paid price) Well I went into the sprint store and told the guy and he asks for my acc #. I told him I had just bought it outright and was not a contract customer. Well His attitude instantley goes from Chipper happy to cold as friggin ice. He proceeds to tell me that they will not replace it under the year warranty because I'm not a current subscriber, but he would be glad to sign me up and I just wait 30 days for fix. I was pretty pissed off so I left. Can they really do that? I mean it was a product like any with a warranty. Should I just try and call sprint on the phone or should I try htc again what do you guys think? BTW he never mentioned flashing or anything so thats not an issue. He even admitted to me this is a well known occurance with the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] nas02302:
you do not have a new phone, its asurion refurbished device.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

yes it is a known issue with evo 3d, they just die and even the tech's @ sprint reload the OS, happened to my sister and she had to get a replacement from sprint. call HTC and tell them your situation and see what they do, if not file a report with BBB.
[HTC EVO 3D] dondizzle915:
I recently bricked my phone and the h boot is 1.5 which is so upsetting but good thing doing implemented a new policy and I didn't pay for it

Brought to you by DonDizzle
[HTC EVO 3D] Bromar:
Well lol I actually went back to sprint and decided try my luck at applying for service and was surprised to find I got approved with no deposit. So I dumped cricket and they even bought the 3d back for 150 which is what I prayed for it. Got the epic touch and only ended up costing me 60 total. I just had to play dumb when the rep told me it wad rooted lol
[HTC EVO 3D] kneeldug:
Anyone get a replacement unit recently (Oct 2011)? What hboot was on it?

I am getting another replacement (third Evo3d) and I am curious whether I need to research 1.5 rooting stuff or if there is a chance this thing will come with 1.4 on board.

I really hope I don't go into a cycle of getting bad refurb after bad refurb. I just need one good phone!

My current one has a "reboot when ambient temp is over 90 degrees" issue. The previous one might have had that same issue too. I would think I am nuts but my wife's Evo3D has no such issue (same environments/usage) and our previous Evo4Gs were perfect!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cal4877:
Hey guys im coming from the htc evo 4g. I just got the nexus rooted. What is the best rom or most popular rom in here?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Miui and cm7. I think are the most popular
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vennstrom:
AFAIK there are no best rom, only most suitable to one needs. Having said that, Cyanogen, GPA17 and some other are quite popular...you have to try it to find one that suit your needs.

I did try several of them and ended up at stock rooted rom as I need a reliable handset for my day to day usage (phone, message, email, browsing, no games, hardly music or video)...battery is not a problem for me as I always have a second backup ever since I went to Android route.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tevil:
stock rooted here. Found it to just be the most reliable and best battery. Plus once rooted there are tons of apps that can emulate the tweaks you get with roms. Love ZeamLauncher.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barqers:
Hm I found stock rooted to be horrible on battery life. ATM I'm on MIUI 1.8.26 and TEUV88 rammstein kernel. Provides me with stability, better battery life, same performance, more customizability, and more functionality built in.

But it's all preference really. I suggest you try out a couple and figure out which you like most.
