[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah but you knwo what, with the first one i had, I had that slight bend as well. Im not sure if it due to the strength of the beack of the phone, but the Metal bezel around the perimeter of the device. WHen i took my phone apart, the Metal bezel was super flexable. I think thats where the weakness comes from altogether. But thats my opinion. Other than that, I think this device is built very well. The back is incredibly ugly LOL, but has a nice feel to it. ALso the screen glass, is pretty durible itself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
The longer this phone is out the more it appears to be a model to skip. I don't think i have ever seen a phone bend before. Aluminum, while cheap, does not have the strength needed for this phone. Very poor design.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] salvasaur:
Why don't you buy an iPhone and drop that, see what happens. I don't think there is any other phone out there with the same build quality as this one.

Dropped my phone down a couple of solid wooden steps. My plastic back popped off, but there isn't a scratch on this thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fr0st420:
Yea they should of used tungsten. It would of at least quadrupled the weight though.

Treat it like a phone/handheld computer, not a hammer and is fine.

once again get a effing case!!! everyone who has a case doesn't have any of these issues, it's a phone, you treat a $500+ phone like a $500+ phone! lolz this model is a great build....

Sentence quality is poor.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Working in the wireless industry that is one of my favorite things people say to give me a good laugh and have me shake my head. So please tell me exactly how many drops are supposed to be required for a cracked screen?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
I would assume at least one. If a screen cracks while a phone is being held, then I'll be mortified/impressed.

Overall, I'm pleased with the build quality of this phone. I thought the 3D moved forward in some aspects and backward in others, but I feel this phone simply moves forward. I chuckle when people say the back of the phone looks ugly. Are you spending a lot of time looking at the back of your phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
Lol...ooh, you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
Have you read the thread where owners of the phone said it is bending when it is their pocket? Any phone can break when you drop it, that isn't the issue here. The problem is it bends. Please show me any other phone that has this problem, better yet, show me how to stop it from happening. Is there a case out there that is designed to prevent a phone from bending?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
yes... basically ANY HARD CASE lolz it bends cuz ppl put the evo in their back pockets and act like it's not a really thin fone in the back pocket lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
say what?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:

lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
I read it forward and back 6 times, sorry I still don't understand it. Have a pleasant evening.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
smh any hard case will make it so it won't bend, but if u take care of the phone and not put it in places like a back pocket and sit on it, you won't have to worry about these things, basically, treat it like it's worth $550+
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
If you believe the posts in the "bent" thread the phone is bending in front pockets too. I guess a purse is the way to go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Who's phone is bending? Seriously, like two people? This is not a widespread problem at all. People do dumb things with phones. Don't blame the phone for that.

You can probably eat the phone too it's so damn thin, but would that be an indictment on the phone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
Well the thread goes on for 11 pages, and the first 4 pages nobody believes the guy, and then the "oh my god mine is bent too!" starts so it does appear to be a problem. Those that say their phone is bent say they have never had a phone bend before so it does seem odd. Has anyone here ever seen a phone bend before? I haven't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I'll attribute that to either new-phone-OCD, or stupidity. Old phones were thick, you would have a hell of a time bending them. This phone is insanely thin. What bends easier, a quarter inch plywood or half inch plywood?

Don't put undue pressure on it and I guarantee it won't bend. Maybe if you regularly sit on your phone, you should buy a case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
In your opinion then, per the title of the thread, how can one estimate the build quality of the phone? It's a bit of a unique feature that it tends to conform to the shape of one's leg or "cheek" although most people say it can be bent back. I guess it's destined to be a shirt pocket or satchel device. Still a great phone and it helps to know ahead of time how to take care of it and what to look for if buying used or as a refurb exchange.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
I think that it has excellent build quality when compared to comparable phones, such as the SIII. I'd rather have aluminum than plastic with normal usage. Again, I don't sit on my phone. It is in my front pocket constantly and never gets bent. And it does not scratch or dent easily, from what I've heard. I'd say that's good build quality. It feels hefty and sturdy in my hands, and the hardware feels solid to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
Either way, it shouldn't happen.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
This is new 2 me! A bent phone? Ha ha ha!!!! This is just really funny 2 me!!! :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Compared to the unbelievably ****ty loose plastic nature of the Evo 3D, this phone is insane in the build quality department. And (this seems to be a trend) "lol" at the guy who brought up the iPhone in comparison even though it wasn't mentioned. The insecurity complex goes on...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
This phone is bending in pockets? Interesting. I have mine in my pocket if I'm walking around and don't really care to carry it in my hand, but I'll otherwise have it out. I just don't feel comfortable sitting down with my phone in my pocket, and that was before I wrapped it in an OtterBox Commuter. I'm not sure if my phone is bent and I'm not even going to bother checking. If it is, oh well. It still works just fine and will be kept in the case save for cleaning. I realize several people out there like the feel of a naked phone, but perhaps they should clothe the phone to help preserve its value. I'm not dropping $200+ on something to treat it like a toy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] woody296:
I thought my 3d was actually pretty solid, was there something on yours that was loose\weak? And yes, it would be nice if every thread wouldn't somehow get an iphone reference tossed in.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
I wish I experienced that solidness. I take very, very good care of my phone, and by the end of one year, the metal was scratching off, the frame was separating itself from the body, the entire screen had "sunk" into the phone near the capactive buttons, the vibrate motor was growing weak, the buttons were stupidly mushy (whose bright idea was it to put the buttons on the battery cover??) and I couldn't tell when I was pressing on them, the power button had grown so weak that the phone would always turn on and off if I pressed it, the camera was crap (ok, this isn't really build quality) and the final straw? The touchscreen would completely fail every now and then and would require me to sleep and rewake the screen.

Like I said, I never dropped my phone and I never put it in the same pocket as anything else.

It's quite possibly my most hated device of 2011-2012. I'm absolutely appalled that HTC put out such a terrible device, and I cannot begin to express what an amazing little phone the Hero was, and how upgrading to the 3D after hearing about the amazingness of the original Evo was just so disappointing.

I've said it once before, and I'll say it again; the 3D was made during that time period that HTC was far more concerned with the number of devices it had put out (and giving them cool-sounding names) rather than individual quality, and it totally ****ted on what it claimed was it's "flagship phone". I was just about ready to swap carriers, but after tons of reviews and finally holding the device in my hand, i can safely say the the Evo LTE is exactly what HTC is all about. The build quality is superb, the performance (even on stock) is wonderful, battery life is insane, and the device itself is quite beautifully simple.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] diestarbucks:
Glad you made it over Liquid! My 3d had a lot of those same issues- minus the screen not responding. The buttons and battery cover especially. The red ring would always start to peel off my battery covers. Sprint store near me would always just give me a new one. Loving the LTE.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insouciant:
Hi,

I changed my exchange.apk and email.apk files manually some time back.

This change caused the email app on my phone to change from a black background to a white background.

Now, I flashed a newer rom for my phone and the email app is no longer working anymore. I am guessing the 'hacked' exchange.apk and email.apk I changed to is not compatible with the rom I am using.

How do I get the phone to restore the original exchange.apk and email.apk?

I did not backup the original .apks, hence I cannot restore them.

*When I flash a newer rom, all my phone's settings remain the same; hence I guess it does not overwrite existing files?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moe.nassef:
If you are using stock os

Plz use the below

This is for removing the emails recommended to use it before the 1st

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B3lFBDPpjM91a2d0ZXE2SGRQczg

Hope that is working .. if you are not using a stock rom i mean not SUMMY you can use the remove zip file and then flash the rome again if you dont have the files of email and exchange backed up by titanium backup for incidence

Plz let me know if its working with u
[General Questions and Answers] Dzigi05:
Hi everybody!

Yesterday I traded my Xperia Arc for Galaxy Note. Note is positively insane! The problem is, I saved my contacts data from arc 4.0.4 with titanium backup, and when I restored them on my note 4.0.3 I'm getting an error "Unfortunately process.acore has stopped working" and obviously contacts are not there. I can resolve the problem on my note with clearing contacts data, but I don't have any other way to get my contacts back, and that's a huge problem... I tried flashing note with 4.0.4 but that didn't help. I keep getting that freaking error! Is there any way to save my contacts? It's crucially important! Thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] Dzigi05:
Well, I tried that but it didn't work... I don't think it's a sync problem since it's another device altogether... it's probably incompatibility between system apks...

I also tried downloading contacts with kies to my pc, but kies just froze... I tried using mybackup to save contacts but mybackup FC...

Now I'm downloading a system dump from xperia arc, gonna try to install contacts.apk from arc and I'm gonna see if that works... if not I'm in a really big trouble... :(
[General Questions and Answers] SimonTS:
WTF am I missing here? Why don't you just sync your contacts on Google - the way that Android was designed to be used?
[General Questions and Answers] andezzat:
If you don't know how to do that. There's a very safe way

Export your contacts from your People app. as VCF cards. Then import them again and import them into one of your google account, that's the way I know how to do it.

You might get double contacts and all sorts of crap but it's ok because that's your old device.

The tracker on Google Code (as posted above) shows some people with it resolved.

Still a problem for me, with latest maps update on CM9. It does seem like it might be a server side issue, as the menu shows "Retrieving settings..." when it is first loaded.

When I check the box, it says "Saving selection..." then "Your selection has been saved" but when I leave the menu and come back, it is unchecked again.

Hi my phone's led is flashing during normal use and it's not on charge..

Is this normal?
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

It flashes when you have notifications or new unread items, so yes normal to flash during use if it is because of new items arriving.

Have you checked for new messages or notifications when you see it flash?

By default it seems emails will arrive silently, that is, no audible sound, it just flashes the green LED. Other notifications, for example new updates, can also cause the LED to flash but without any other sound.

Regards

I would go to the dev section and read ALL the Sticky threads thoroughly, then use sfhub's auto root in case you're not rooted to gain ROOT. Then I would go with a tw rom like calkulin's Fe22, or if its themes you like you could go with wicked sensations from dazed and confused (team venum) or any of the team rejects roms. Just please read the stickies like 5 times.

I am not a dev at all just a flash junkie. I would read up on "FULL RESTORE ROOTED EL29" you can search the for the forum in the development section. Check out all of the roms and just ask questions. One you are rooted its pretty simple if you follow directions well. I'm running Dazed and Confused romantic now but I switched between him and Mijjz roms like his Goodness rom, he has a ton of roms and all of these are themed already.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pyrotoast:
Just a tip

I would also recommend watching some of QBKing77's youtube videos as well if you have never flashed a Rom before. He pretty much goes step by step through the entire process. He has videos that show you how to root, how to install clockwork mod and then videos on how to install many of the Roms that you will find in the development section as well as reviews for each. QBKing77 was pretty much invaluable to me when I was getting started myself. Thanks to him and following the advice to read through the development section over and over before I started I've stayed brick free and flashed most of the ICS Roms safely.

CM7 from official CM and CM from FXP is the same because FXP work for CM and they handle all Sony and Sony Ericsson devices. CM7 from FXP update more often. CM7 from official CM website only update the RC version.
[Xperia Arc General] jtdc:
I see. I installed CM7.2 stable from the official one. It is less bloaty compared to stock based ROMs and custom ROMs. It handles processes and memory management better. Because of that, it is indeed FAST.

However the ADWlauncher that comes with CM7.2 ROM is either old or inefficient, and it stutters. When I replaced it with "ADWLauncher EX", lag/stutter was destroyed. Anyway that is an old fact already. ADWLauncher EX is really very good.

Thanks to your "catchy" title for this thread, I was able to install and experience CyanogenMod. I think I will stay with this ROM for some time.

When I get bored I will try CM9 next.
