Same thing happened to me worth my last phone the palm pre, I had 10 of em in 6 months. After the 4rth one I demanded a new one, they reluctantly gave me one, unfortunately that one failed in less than two weeks

After playing who's your favorite customer for a few more months the, evo dropped so palm could finally kiss my a$$.

It sucks your having those problems, my phone hasnt had any problem and (knock on wood) have had it for going on 6 months now

Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryandoubleu:
HAHAHAHA!!!

ROFLMAO.

You have just told my story as far as my sprint experience goes.

I am also on my 3rd replacement phone.

The original- Speaker went out

First replacement- Screen hotspot

Second replacement- Light leakage (i had to complain and yell to get this one replaced)

Third replacement (current phone)- light leakage

I have given up with this third replacement!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryandoubleu:
O and by the way....

From what information I have gathered from Sprint and HTC, light leakage is NOT a known issue according to them. I specifically talked to the HTC warranty department and they said it has shown up on some phones but is not previlent enough to say it is a known issue with the phone
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Not sure if this will work for your state but I know it works in NY.

If you had 4 Evo replacements, call customer service and ask for a supervisor. It should be documented on your account that you got 4 replacements. Tell them under your state's lemon law, you got more than 3 faulty refurbished Evos within 3 months. You want a NIB (New in box) Evo sent. Or you can ask for a comparable phone if you want to switch off the Evo. They will probably give you the choice of the Epic or Evo Shift.

They will push for the same phone. The stores will not do this for you. You have to call customer service. If customer service doesn't do it for you, ask to be transfered to retentions (cancellation department) and ask for a supervisor there. They have the power to give you anything you want, though you might not get it.

If no one is cooperating, hang up before they can note your account and call back. Most of the time it depends on whether the person wants to help you or not. Let them know you are frustrated but don't act like an ass.

Same problems on verizon. They are NO better unfortunately. Actually, they told me they no longer offer new replacement, ever, and i was paying for the extended warranty and insurance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faqlexi:
Got my 4th Evo last night. Turns out this one has severe light leakage. Compared it to my wife's hardware ver. 004 phone and this one is very noticeable. Told the people at Sprint Repair and they said they'll swap out the screens, but they don't have any in stock right now.

Waiting for the Operations Manager, Brian Patrick from Sprint corporate to call me back today.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faqlexi:
They tried to tell me "It's a non-issue, it's only cosmetic."

While I understand that it is only cosmetic, if I'm buying the Ferrari of all phone (HTC and Sprint market it as the best on the market), then I don't want even a scratch on my Ferrari. If I paid good money for it, I want my good money's worth and I demand that it be perfect.

There may be those who may say "Give it up, it's just the way the phone is.". To them, I say at what point in your life did you give up wanting your money's worth? At what point did you say to yourself a BRAND NEW item should be of garbage quality as long as it's in new packaging?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
jeez, man. 8 posts total, seven of which are in this thread. did you join xda just to vent about this?

no offense, but my phone leaks light too. i'm not going to throw a fit about it. nothing is perfect. i get the impression that having you as a customer is a bigger pain the butt than not having you as a customer. take your money elsewhere if you aren't happy, that's how capitalism works. you standing around stomping your feet isn't going to fix anything. you complaining here isn't going to fix anything. if you're looking for sympathy, you may get a few people saying 'i'm sorry to hear that', but your little temper tantrum makes you look worse than will a civil head.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eluno:
if the only problem on this last phone is light leakage, weren't you the one who said "Light leakage doesn't worry me too much. I haven't returned a phone or complained about a phone only due to light leakage. There has always been something else hardware wise wrong along with that.":)

I think you are under the impression that having "Senior Member" gives you the right to rag on new members. While I don't post here often, I do read a lot on here for accessories and other development news.

Feel free to ignore my posts, I'm not forcing you to read them. I'm here to learn more and find out how others are handling a specific situation. If I needed sympathy posts (as you seem to hint), I would be a "Senior" member and then make a thread about me crying myself to sleep and how I'm completely okay with having a phone that isn't perfect right out of the box. You seem to be okay with living with items that aren't perfect out of the box, good for you. I'll mail you a cookie if you like :) Fortunately, not everyone is like you and not everyone will allow someone to walk over them.

Your attitude also prohibits a company from improving its' policies and procedures along with its' future products. If everyone laid down and simply accepted faults in equipment (again, cookie offer is still valid) like you, companies wouldn't be held accountable and manufacture crap on a daily basis.

Ive been through three evo's. Nothing too crazy about them. First one the earpiece was crackly and sounded like garbage. the second one i just returned cause i wanted the white one, has a gloss finish rather than the half gloss/matte/soft touch. but this one did have some debris under the camera glass.

the one i use now has the light leak down at the bottom by the capacitive buttons but its only a deal breaker in the dark. i may return it but i really dont want to re-root and remove all that bloatware.

regardless, keep *****ing at them. ive filed numerous BBB complaints against sprint and their terrible customer service, etc. Youll eventually get what you want...dont give up.

I ended up getting a brand new in box HTC Evo shipped out to me.

I had to go 8 levels up in the chain of command, but this goes to show that persistence pays off as long as your language about what you want doesn't change.

I had to agree to renew my contract for another 24 months on this line (acceptable on my part since my contract was only 6 months old) and now I have a tracking number of the package coming to my house.

Again, for those who are willing to accept crappy quality over and over again for the good money you pay, this thread isn't for you. For those who want their money's worth, keep fighting up the chain.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwcorvus:
In this case, i would crack the screen...but that's just me. Then they don't have a choice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
waiiit... so you have two more years? or is your contract actually shorter now...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
A renewal. So 2 years from the date he made that call. Its not always the case. For example: I got a NIB Evo 4G the other day just because I swapped mine out so many times. Once cause I had heat spots on my screen, 2nd because of light leakage, 3rd because I lost RSA keys, my 4th one came NIB and no contract renewal.

I'm about to call tomorrow to have my plan switch to SERO 4G. So I can save $20/month.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Dead pixels. Yes they should. That is covered under TEP. The problem is, if your store doesn't want to, they don't have to. It depends on how big of an asshole they feel like being. If they are nice, they will fix the screen for you.

Read up on the TEP policy. Dead pixels are included as a problem as long as its not one dead pixel. If its a few and it looks terrible then yes they will do it. If not then you can shoot over an email to Dan Hesse. El CEO. dan@spint.com

His assistant usually answers but man do things get done. Especially if you did everything you could and are entitled to a repair. Make sure you get their store # as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I worked for tmo for 3 years recently ;and I can assure you they wont do anything diff. I couldn't count how many times people received refurb phones and wanted new ones but just got slapped with another refurbished. Truth is these people threaten to cancel or switch ; that's an old myth and rarely works. These people are TOLD that you will threaten and just laugh at you when you do and will just pass you around customer service like a Mexican hooker. If they gave every customer a new phone who had issues they would lose tons of money. To sum this up in a nut shell the company doesn't care if you leave they got bigger fish to worry about you know what I say when a customer says "I'm going to cancel" I say " have fun" it really pisses people off. And I've said this for 3 years and nothing ever happened to me lol. Everytime a person cancels cell providers maybe activate 10 lines lol idk. I could tell you right now going to tmo after sprint wont be fun. Companies DONT CARE ABOUT YOU. LOL
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiggipr:
My best advice for all in the future is next, I tell my own experience. when renewing the contract, go to the store and see and talk to different representatives. win a friend. only he can help you to get a BRAND NEW replacement in box, SHIPPED NEXT DAY. I live in Puerto Rico and my sprint salesman works in Atlanta (he lived in here but moved to Atlanta) . I always call him with any questions or concerns. when I renew my contract I always do it with him for the last 6 years, I am faithful to it ... my friends also renew their contracts with him (they learned!) and we're all happy. Advice? Get a good seller .. If he resigns, I'll have to read this again and take my own advice.

[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Riley600:
I know that the XT720 doesn't have a dedicated LED for notifications - just the blinking of the bottom 4 keys (which is really buggy). I've seen some LED Notification apps around - but does anyone know if it's possible to remap them to the media lights (Camera/Camcorder/Gallery) and those lights for notifications? Or does anyone have any idea how to implement this otherwise?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10603505&postcount=12 There seems to be some ideas in this post about how it can be done - but again, I don't have the knowledge or experience how to implement this.

have you tried NoLED ?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Riley600:
No, I haven't. I'll check it out though
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Riley600:
NoLED looks like it's only for AMOLED screens. It would kill the battery super quick on an LCD, unfortunately. I guess no app exists to remap the lights on the phone, eh?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Vistaus:
LCD? The XT720 has TFT.
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Riley600:
Which is an LCD variant...
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Vistaus:
True, but not pure LCD...
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Riley600:
Alright...however, the app that was suggested won't work with the XT720's screen. I'm wondering if anyone knows of an app that could be used for effective notifications?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] ronnbon:
what exactly do you want? An app to shut of the leds or to use the leds to be notified about incoming messages?

for the first you can use LED hacks- worked fine for me... :)
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] raidontaro:
How about the second? Leds for notification?
[Milestone XT720 Themes and Apps] Riley600:
That's what I'm looking for - use the media LEDs for notifications

MOD EDIT: These posts have been pruned from the development thread. DO NOT post questions in the development thread.

ok, i read somewhere on slatedroid, that one could remove "register" button, by renaming a file via root explorer. and i cant find the damn thread anywhere now, cause the topic was something else. anyone, the name of the file, and a possibly a location ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
I don't recall that we're able to remove the register button by renaming a file, but if you rename the checkin service .apk extension to something else (or freeze it in titanium backup) it won't continue to ask you to register and you can press the button and nothing will happen.

If you do find a file to rename to remove the button itself, please do share...

Android 2.2 released for Zenithink!

Just sharing what I've just read:

ePad Gets Android 2.2 Update

"ZeniThink have released an Android 2.2 firmware update for their ePad Android Tablet. The update brings some great software features to the popular device such as a refreshed user interface, pre-installed software and also Flash playback support."

Continue reading here: http://www.gizchina.com/2011/01/25/epad-android-22-update/#more-3634

My anxious question: will FlyTouch 2/Wowpad get an Android 2.2 update as well??? What if THAT update works on it??? ;)

Updated: The main problem is the 256 MB RAM available on FT2/Wowpad, with no possible update!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iloveei:
I think there will be an 2.2 update for sure. The question is who will release it. There are several possible source which it may come from. The original producer, maybe those iCan! guys or our developers here. The question isn't if, it's when.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alexrb:
I think whoever is, they won't take it long! It's such a "market rule"... I hope so... :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jiggity Janx:
Micdigi article explains that Flash is just through a flv plugin. For those interested, we already have that on our tablet. Still hopeful that the underlying firmware can be used to get us to 2.2 though.

Side note, I found it interesting that the release date for the zenithink update was Jan 15, the same release date iCan! was supposed to have their update.

If there is a black connector on the end of the ribbon cable coming from the display, then you have indeed broken it.

The end of the ribbon cable coming from the screen should be completely flat, as if someone just cut it with some scissors.

How good are you with a soldering iron? :/
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cdawg32:
Update: Last night I broke out the soldering iron and was able to solder the battery connections to the motherboard pretty easily. I had to expose more of the copper at the end of touch screen ribbon to get it to seat properly in the slot. EVERYTHING is working properly now, but I can't sell the tablet as new so it is still at a severely discounted price!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wd5gnr:
Can you tell me how you managed to get the screen out of the way? I figured out the speakers pop out, but the LCD and touch screen cables I'm afraid to remove. How do you take them out and put them back in? Any advice?

Whoops. I just read your later post. So they are both the ZIF sockets with the flat ribbon cable? I've had a lot of practice with those on my Rigol scope but in this case hard to get inbetween the two halves. The main cable is covered with something, if I recall.

I had thought about drilling the hole -- do you think the mic element really helped or just the hole since the mic is at a right angle?
