Before separating the films I placed tape to use as handles to apply the protector flat (instead of holding it).

Then after layed down on the screen pulled up and slid tape underneath to attract any particles which cause bubbles. Slide with sticky side face up so it pulls from the protector's sticky film (rarely do the particles stick to the screen itself).
[HTC Aria Accessories] austinwsj:
Has anybody noticed the quality of these are not that great?

Have had on for 3 days. There are a LOT of scratches on the protector itself. I usually keep phone in jean pockets with a wallet.

Anybody plan on trying the Amzer ones, although I have heard their quality may be dubious too for the n1.
[HTC Aria Accessories] dochood:
I ordered this, and it shipped today. I got my 8 GB card in the mail today, too. I kind of wished I had gotten a 16 GB card, since my whole music collection is about 8 GB. But I may pick up another 8 GB as my "backup film roll" at a later time.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Donatron:
I can't believe I didn't figure out this solution earlier. Obviously, trimming the excess on the corners would solve the issue, but I wasn't comfortable using a razor blade to make the trims. But just 5 minutes ago, it occurred to me to use a nail clipper (while already installed on the phone, and the back plate removed). Worked perfectly, was super easy, and did no damage to the phone.
[HTC Aria Accessories] sentinel79:
Yeah that didnt occur to me either. I used small crafting scissors.
[HTC Aria Accessories] le nitro:
Same thing happened to me, just on the bottom corners though, but as soon as I put my case on it covered up those bubbles, cant even see it. Quality of the protector seems to be decent. I used a universal one prior and it was ****!

I ordered the stealth guard though for the phone (full body protection) just now so when that comes I'll let you guys know how that works out as well.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Cinderous:
I used the Invisible Gadget Guard that someone else mentioned (got it off ebay though, not amazon, it's the exact same one however). The quality of it is definitely top notch, I've had it on for a little over a month now and it has no scratches/marks that are visible without actually looking for them and even then there are minimal and very minor ones. My one complaint with it is the top two corners did start to peel a bit, I ended up peeling it up a tad and cutting them (with difficulty, this thing is tough!) and reapplying that part and I haven't had a problem since! I do have a few blemishes down the left side due to my clumsiness during the initial applicaton, but the case covers it for the most part :)
[HTC Aria Accessories] b_atman:
i tried the invisisheild and did not like the rubbery feel, got at t sheild it is a hard plastic and fingers slide much better, yes i had to trim but no big deal there. all you have to do is put the protector on the phone with back cover off, then take a new sharp razor blade at about 50 degree angle to the edge of glass and trim excess off. 3 months now and have not lifted any corners. these are much better than the rubber vinly covers that tend to stretch and need trimming as well.

I bought my Evo at the shack. And I to am having screen separation. There are no phones in stock any where. So my dilemma is how do we get replacements if there are no phones at all in radio shacks inventory. I was thinking I should cancel out my line under the 30 worry free. Then restart my lineagain when they do comein stock again. Does anyone know if the shack will extend their 30 day policy??? And will anyone else be returning their phones until the stores have them in stock?
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Last I read someone said that a sprint rep at their 1800 number said that if the new, fixed evos weren't in within the 30 days, they would still let you exchange them. By no means an offical word and I'm unsure about the shack, but I'm in the same boat. Bought 3 on launch day from sprint.com, all have the screen sep problem and mine has a half blown speaker (front call one). They said to call up when sprint.com showed they had some in stock, but I've been checking several times a day and never seen that they had any in stock...
[EVO 4G General] engagedtosmile:
I would like to know this as well. Its coming up on the 30 day here soon enough and RadioShacks stock seems to be out all the time. I'll have to call Sprint and see whats up.
[EVO 4G General] GadgetViews:
so what's our best option guys? cancel the contract and return the phone and start a new account when they have them on stock, or just wait, and get it replaced when its available and continue our 2year contract?
[EVO 4G General] verse187:
Yes you could exchange it back and tell them the problem if your 30 days almost over you have to sign a paper and give them your number so they know that you are waiting for a replacement and they will call you when they are in stock
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I say we all call sprint and say we're canceling (which is a much better head ache for them), or they let us replace our bad units with new units after the 30 days, since obviously they haven't had any in stock and won't put me on a waiting list.
[EVO 4G General] shortbus182:
I called my local radio shack today, and they were aware of the screen seperation issue. The girl I spoke with was very polite, and took my name and number. She said they would call me when they receive stock, and the exchange would be no issue.
[EVO 4G General] crazyjoezx:
same issue here...I have called sprint and shack about a week ago to see what I could do..

Sprint said go back to shack and return it..as long as that I am reporting it BEFORE the 30 days I should be good whenever they are back in stock..she said she will make a note on my acct so everyone who looks up my sprint # will see it and she even offered up her emp ID# free of will (with out me asking for it), so she sounded like she knew what she was talking about

Called shack told them what sprint said and spoke to the mgr. They took my name down and # and said they will call me when they get them in and I can call them tues-thrus to check bc thats when they get their shipments...they also offered looking up other stores to see if they have any...

my screen lifting wasnt to bad in the beginning I just wanted a new one just in case but I gotta tell you guys it does get worst over time...when I push the home button I can "feel" the screen go back down...almost feels like a black berry storm ....

heres another thought though...no where on the box does it say 002 or 003...so you wont know what you get, till you get it...either way...we are all still under HTC warranty so but i cant imagine it being any easier getting a replacement from them.. but I think my shack store will do the right thing...or im calling their DM:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] GadgetViews:
call customer service, that what i did, i complained that i went to 4 sprint stores to exchange my defective evo.but all of them are out of stock (which inst true, i just called them and ask if they have any evo in stock, all said no) so then i called customer service again telling that them i've drove to 4 sprint stores and all of them not having nything in stock, and of course they said sorry blah blah. so then i asked what if the evo were on stock again right.after my 30 day period.is up, they said oh don't worry about that ser, will waived that for you therefore if ur 30 day period is up we can still exchange ur defective Eco free of charge. Then I ended up talking to the customer service supervisor, probably because I called them 3 times already with the same issue hahaha, anyway she said were very sorry that all our evo are out of stock and then she said she will checked other Sprint stores (near my workplace) that I haven't been too and asked if they have any evo available and of course same answer "no evo here", then she asked if she can call me back so she can call other sprint stores (near my house) and see if they have it, then I said okay.....maybe less than an hour she called back...... saying that she called all the Sprint stores near my house and near my workplace and have them place my name on their waiting list, she even said to put me as a priority haha, anyways then she told me just wait for their call (from the Sprint stores) and check Sprint.com also if they have the evo available again, therefore they can just send me my evo if my local Sprint store still doesn't have it available
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I called RS and talked to the manager. He said he would call when they got EVOs in stock. He told me not to worry about the 30 days since the phone is out of stock. He was cool about it. I told him about the problems they are having and I wanted one that is fixed not a 0002 or 0003. He understood and said no problem. My suggestion is to call the store and talk to the manager and tell him what's up. Tell him you want a newer version that has been fixed. You dont want to get stuck with a defective device after 30 days.
[EVO 4G General] tommy96814:
so is the 30fps cap considered manufacturer defect and eligible for a exchange on the 30 days policy?:confused:
[EVO 4G General] GadgetViews:
No only screen separation buddy, the 30 fps cap, will be fixed over an ota update, probably next week according to engadget
[EVO 4G General] realKURE:
I was wondering the same EXACT thing! I've been given vague, nonchalant responses that were giving me the feeling they were purposely holding off until my warranty expires so they don't lose out on a phone to sell instead of swapping one out. My plan was to just call customer service and make SURE the manager of RS took note of it. I see other people did that as well, so it should work. Just make sure 100% that they took note of your issue so they don't catch amnesia when the time comes.
[EVO 4G General] eagle63:
Whoa whoa whoa, the fix coming next week is not for the 30 fps cap. It's for the touchscreen responsiveness and WiFi reception I believe.
[EVO 4G General] GadgetViews:
Oops my bad, but I read somewhere that the 30fps issue can be fixed by a software update , who knows......
[EVO 4G General] ripalsanghani:
I actually was in the same situation. A bit complicated for me.but hopefully it goes smoother for you.

Went to radio shack, the shift manager said he couldn't do anything and that I had to call sprint.

I call Sprint they said I have to go to place I bought the phone from no exceptions. And that if I order the exchange.before my 30 days and don't get it till after the 30 I won't get.charged.

Back to the shack, hoping to speak to store manager since shift manager wasn't helping and I know the manager from when I bought my phone. Called earlier and.shift manager said manager would be there til 6. I come in at 530 and he tells me the manager left and again says he can't do anything and on top of that, he said that they don't do exchanges off the bat because they "aren't Sprint." I was extremely upset and ended.up calling the district office.

I left a voicemail and in the mean time called Sprint and asked for account services (which was management level) who right away suggested I threaten to cancel so they lose commissions but only as last resort. Also that unless its in writing I shouldn't assume ill get the phone without charge after 30 days like the first level of support. At this point I was extremely happy with Sprints response.

I got a call back from a lady (from district office) who within LITERALLY 2 minutes said I will be getting a phone within 7-10 days and I would be getting a call from the radio shack I went to. She didn't even ask for an explanation because of my voicemail complaint. She also said she would submit a complaint right away to the district manager about the incompetence of the shift manager. Regarding my call back I requested the store manager to call to avoid any more problems so that's all I'm waiting on hopefully tomorrow that happens.

That's the current story of my life! Sorry this is messy I'm still getting used to this keyboard! ;)

If you want more detail about a specific event ill be happy to answer. I recommend calling district the moment the radio shack stores say they can't do anything or don't attempt to do anything.

Hope this helps!

[EVO 4G General] zone23:
My screen can be unresponsive if the device is laid down. That is my reasoning for exchanging the device IF it is fixed in future devices and not via OTA. I just want to be prepared if the update doesn't fix the problem. If it does then I may do nothing. Just didn't want to wait till day 31 to call RS.
[EVO 4G General] adelaney:
If you call your sprint store and tell them you want to start a new account, all the sudden they will have one. I tried with multiple stores. Its pretty ****ty, they won't exchange defective ones before selling more. Its all about the bottom line not people.
[EVO 4G General] ripalsanghani:
Same here plus some flickering and light leakage. My need to exchange is just to be safe newer batches may have some fixed hardware but that's not guarantees either. I guess doing it for peace of mind.
[EVO 4G General] GadgetViews:
I think the best way to know if they have it ,is to ASK them if they have any evo's available right away as soon as they answer your call, if they ask if are a new customer or a customer that wants to return ur defective evo, tell them "answer my question first"
[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
I called to get my phone replace, but they said they would need to verify that it's defective at the Sprint store so they could put me on the "Waiting" list to receive a new phone, and they told me that it must be that I didn't take care of it... I have only had it for 2 days.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
We really have no control over what versions they send us. You may be waiting a while if you refuse to take what comes in first.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I know I don't, and yes I can refuse whatever comes into the store. I will push the guy to allow me to wait as long as possible to exchange. I'm sure when 0004 drops the forum will know. I can wait as long as it takes because as each month goes by I'm that much closer to me next device. I just don't and shouldn't have to use TEP, and who knows maybe the OTA update will fix the screen. That would be fine with me as well. My phone is like like my baby I'm not going to triad it in because it has a few flaws. At least I know whats wrong with this one.
[EVO 4G General] Bp3dots:
Yes, you can refuse it, but remember that extending your return period is a courtesy that is only given because of in-stock issues. Once product is available to exchange (And if you go in now, the manager can order one just for your exchange) we're not obligated to let you wait as long as you want to.

I'm not trying to be a ****, just saying that as long as a working unit is available (and we do now have a process to get exchanges done, so they are) then we are living up to our side of the return policy, and customers are expected to do the same.
[EVO 4G General] rooder:
I am still going through my personal hell trying to get my evo replaced since 6/5/10. I just fired off an email to dan@sprint.com too see what they can do. :(
[EVO 4G General] dmystic1:
I posted this in another forum. I was working with someone from the office of dan. She had been monitoring spint inventory for two weeks now for an EVO. Anyway she called me this morning and an a sprint.com order rep was also on the line with us. I got my phone at sprint.com, so I think that is why they where able to help me. They said that they where now able to place an order for me for a new EVO even though there is no stock. The order would go into backorder status. They placed the order and gave me the confirmation. Then explained what would happen. Obviously, once they receive stock, the new phone would ship. I had ordered and received a return kit for my old EVO a week prior, so they did not need to send a new one. Normally you have 35 days to return the old equipment once they send a return kit. Anyway, I was told it may be up to 10 days before they got stock, but in the event that my 30 days lapses before I get the new phone and return the old, they would still except the old phone. I just had to make sure to keep the old phone active on my account until I get the new. My original EVO was just billed to my sprint account, so once they get it back I would just get an account credit. I was also already billed for the new replacement even though it has yet to ship. I then received an email that oulined all of this for my records.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Guys, this all makes no sense whatsoever!

The 30 day return policy is in place so that new customers can cancel or change devices.

The screen separation issue is a known manufacturing defect that should be covered under the 1 yr manufacturers warranty. Think about it...do you really think Sprint won't replace a device with an admitted defect after 30 days? That is silly.

[EVO 4G General] Plancy:
You may be right, has anyone experience with replacing through HTC?
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
I haven't yet replaced anything through Sprint, but Verizon would immediately replace, or trade up, a device (without using your insurance) if you could prove that the issue was manufacturing related. And that was by contacting Verizon, not the manufacturer.

I have to believe that Sprint has close to the same policies.

Edit: I take that back. I have done this through Sprint. The store replaced my Touch Pro after 6 months when I discovered that the keyboard cable was disconnecting itself.

There is no worry guys, the 30 day policy just doesn't apply to this issue unless you just don't want the Evo.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I understand, like I told the guy I just want to wait to see if the OTA update fixes the screen issues I think that's fair. If it doesn't then I feel I have a legitimate case to exchange the device. I also understand that the new device might do the exact same thing. Thanks
[EVO 4G General] blix1337:
GET THAT IN WRITTING! ! !

Back when i got my first tp, there was a similar issue w/ them being out of stock right when my 30 day return was ending. A rep at sprint told me the exact same thing, but I had him write on his buisness card that they would extend my 30 day replacement. Sure enough, 2 weeks later, I came in and the rep told me there was no extension and i gave him the buisness card and he went through w/ the exchange...

Give it another month or two. Unless you want to root and flash an unofficial build.

is there a way to disable this?

[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
That along with "Internet Pictures Blocked" is a major annoyance with the native WM email system.

Both annoyances haven't had any fixes since the advent of WM years ago.

The only "FIX" I could recommend is switching to Flexmail. That is what WM Email should have been like to begin with.

Is there any way to remove the music controls from the screen lock? I would like to use my MTS while working out or mowing the lawn (keeping it in an arm band holder) but I end up pausing the music or changing songs if the power button gets hit.

Apparently the MTS is one of the only phones to offer this feature. I guess I'm from the old school but when I lock my phone I don't want to be able to do anything to it but unlock it (or answer it if it rings). Any ideas?

Hi you guys, i remember how accurate my N's gps was when i used CM 5.07... Now, i have tested the 3 leaked versions of froyo and my gps is innacurate... it has evolved from Very slow and very innacurate in the FRF50, to slow and innacurate on the 72 to a bit (but still) innacurate in the 83...

Since 72, im facing some "your current location is temporarily unavailable" and "no weather location is available" issues...

What do you guys recommend me to do?

Should i go back to the 4.04 radio? i have a 850 umts N1
