What's the story?
Sent From My HTC Evo Using Tapatalk Pro!

a pictures worth a thousand words .
phone fell off seat in movie theater, like 2 feet from ground..

was it naked?

I cried a little inside when I saw this picture..

without a case ? ya

sorry.
I hate how badly HTC tempers some of their phones [screen that is]
I remember when I got my first TP2, broke screen on first drop... I had a replacement,... That I still have... I treat it like trash! And lemme tell you this thing is sturdy. My Evo... Has been abused, dropped, fell straight on the curb of the sidewalk (right onto the raised part and onto the floor). Only visible thing is a tiny dot of glass that chipped off the lower bottom right.. This one is sturdy as hell too...

this was my first time dropping the phone, I only had it for about two weeks.
The screen is like scratch proof but not shatter proof, it should be the other way around at least (hopefully both). I tried using my keys to scratch out a hole in the glass so i could take it out and see if i could get a replacement glass but the keys wouldnt even scratch as hard as i tried

i died a little inside when i saw that picture. if that happened to my phone...i would probably cry

Dang that really sux. I was so scared when I dropped my Evo at work from a height of 30 ft and lucky for me I just had sum dirt in the kick stand but that was the day I added insurance on my bill. I'm sure if u have insurance they will give u a new screen as there was a time with my instinct I broke the screen 3 times in a month and Sprint fixed it no questions asked

@ the PIC why put a 500$ phone on a sent and EVEN take the chance of it falling ?

That sucks man . Well if you don't have insurance, they sell replacement touch screen digitizers on eBay. Not sure how easy it is to replace.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Sprint-Evo-...862017?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4152abc101
I have no affiliation to that seller, just looked up the cheapest one that wasn't out of the country.
Looks like some guys just put up a repair video too and it doesn't look too difficult, but I'd be scared to do it myself lol.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/htc-evo-4g-glass-touch-screen-digtizer-lcd-repair-guide.html

Most sprint repair stores are stocking glass/screen replacements. Just go down there and get it fixed, generally they can do them in 15-20 minutes

actually im within the first 30 days, so im taking the phone back to a store and swapping it for a brand new one. which seems like a great deal to me.

if you are rooted you will probably have to unroot... but you already knew that

I just flashed back to the stock rom i found in the evo wiki, that should be good correct ?

Good luck man. 30 days or not they're probably not gonna just swap an obviously damaged phone out for a new one. Not saying it wont happen, just.. good luck!

You should be good with that. In my experience I've had no trouble taking rooted devices in to them. I always make sure at the very least it appears stock when they power it up.

I called them and they are the ones that suggested i just return it and get a new one since it's within thirty days. I called the store too, not sprint (sometimes they like to contradict each other).

ATTENTION!! Radio Shack is paying you $150 for your Nexus One

This is a joke, well i guess it is more like an insult to the intelligence of Nexus One owners, i wonder how many would actually do the "Trade IN".
So for the ones who don't want to read, yeah you get $150 for your nexus one, this sounds worse than what car dealers do.

I used to switch phone pretty often until I got nexus one 3 months, and I don't switch phone since then.

In there dreams! LOL

They must be on crack if they think im going to sell them my pride and joy for $150

I work for radio Shack and they would have to pry it from my cold dead hands. Also they probably wouldn't want mine considering " bad mother Fu<ker " is engraved on the back. =D

this is what we called stupid population... radio shack is filled with nothing than morons and run by them.. if i see or hear anyone doing this trade.. they have to be crack dealers and needed of crack.. cause no smart person will do this..

I would give them a bricked nexus one for that, but that's about it

im just gonna give that gay-a** who started this dumba** idea at radio shack a vibrator and tell him to go eff himself.

I would trade it for $300.
And next time learn how to resize your attachment before you upload it.

I remember my cousin threatened to break my N1 and I was like then you'll owe me like 500 bucks...he was like "please, a new iPhone 4 is only a bit more than 500 no way your phone is worth 500"
granted he was right....on e-bay and craigslist the lowest price I saw was 400...but still...that's 9 months after release and still worth 400 USED...
amazing.
150 is an insult...I

You can do better - they are going for between $350-$400+ based on condition and original packaging/accessories on eBay.
Am waiting for the new MyTouch HSPA+ to come out. If it is a decent device and not too locked down (although thst will certainly be dealt with here), then and only then would I consider letting go of my Nexus - and certainly not to RS.

Ok buddy!
Does anyone have their customer service email? I would like to write them an email laughing at their ridiculous offer! hahahahahahaha

never letting go
I have the G2 now but i love my N1s.. both of my N1s!!!

Let Radio Shack stick a pole where the sun doesn't shine. Long live the N1.

I'd never sell my n1. The fact that it's pure android with no manufacturer ui, it gets updates the day that they come out, and google basically made it to be rooted, are all priceless features no manufacturer is willing to replicate. The Nexus One is one of a kind for now.

Me and my Evo make a year today <3

I still have mine since launch day. Never exchanged it. Scratches on the side and kick stand, with my Seidio 3500 extended battery I got a month later. This bad ***** can last another year, and that's when I'll get a divorce and switch to a quad core (hopefully) phone.

I am right there with you. 0002 hardware all the way. I think I'm going to buy the 3D just as a development phone. My Evo has yet to become old and unattractive (unlike my ex-girlfriend)
Sent from from my future Evo 3D. Thank you HTC

I still have mine from launch day. I dropped it in my dog's water bowl last month, and at first I thought it survived unscathed, but now it's doing all kinds of weird crap (GPS issues, not fun when I needed it on a trip last weekend; music skips or sometimes the voice search window pops up during playback for no reason; etc etc). No amount of wiping or different ROMs seems to help, so I'm guessing something got fried in the process.
So in other words, it may be time to make a claim. I'll miss the old bag, we've been through so much together *tear*.

I still have my launch day EVO. My goodness this was the best phone I have ever had in my life! I had a blackberry before this phone so some of you guys must know the hell we all go with when one has a blackberry.
Hardware 0002 also!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

0002 love. I can't believe I've had this phone for a year and I finally rooted it and flashed a new ROM for the first time.

me too
Actually I was there on launch day 6/4/2010:

Happy anniversary!!! F*** the haters.

I still have my release day EVO woo!
Sent from ......

I've also had mine since launch day. It made me look like such a badass when summer ended and I went back to high school. ****, it still does. Now there's just many more thunderbolts and incredibles that try to compete with me, but they fail.
Anyway I think the EVO 3D looks awesome but I think ill just skip this generation of EVO because the original has been so good to me and I just can't drop it a year later.
Just imagine how sick the new EVO will be in a years time.

my "launch day" evolution went for a swim about 2 months in my replacement evo has been a solid device. can't believe its been a year already.

Asurion ROCKS!!!

As I posted here, Asurion said they would send me a brand new phone and that's exactly what they did! Just as if I had got it at sprint. It came in its sealed factory Sprint/Samsung Epic 4G box including the manuals, headset, battery, sd card w/adapter, charger, and usb cable. I'm really surprised! Lets hope it works. I'll post an update soon.

Lol, you didnt rain on his parade only, you also took the confetti, **** on the tubas and sliced the tires on the floats.

my refurb came in an Asurion box with a cheap little piece of tape covering the phone. The new one also doesn't have a sticker in the battery compartment that says "Asurion Remanufactured" or the square white water detection sticker. This one is definitely new.

Id be suprised if this was true huh maybe pigs fly. Why were you SOOO SPECIAL to get a new phone from asurion?

Nope not at all. My refurb came in an assurion box. No manual, headphones, cords, any of that extra junk.

It depends on their inventory. They have sent me new phones in the past.

Original:
"Rofl what a retard. Pull out the battery and look at that battery slot do you see it now a sticker that says REFURB. Asurion is not a new phone supplier"
Check the attatched, I'm not an idiot.

Picture taken with refurb phone btw

We just got a new in box evo from assurion a few weeks ago. It happens.

the last replacement I got came in a cheap brown box with a phone in it with some yellow screen guards on it. it did not come in an epic retail box

I can say that I have been issued a NIB replacement from Asurion in the past. Not surprised at all.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Also, if you didn't read the post I referred to in the op, this is the second phone from Asurion. The first they sent me was a refurb and is malfunctioning. I told them about the malfunction and then I told them it had scratches so they said they would send me a new one.

I've only ever been sent new phones from asurion anytime I've ever used them (about 4-5 claims). Guess I've been lucky?

Either way I would never accept a refurbished phone. I bought a new phone and if it's defective I want a new phone.
P.S. Asurion still sucks LOL

Just dail ##786# and look it will tell you if its new or a refurb
I got one Monday and its a refurb
GituSum Epic4G

i was sent a new phone also. it happens if they run out of refurbs

This is right. Refurbs certainly do not come in brand new packaging, with accessories. My last replacement did and its kick ass, brand spankin, new. With charger headphones and sdcard. The one before? A brown asurion box with a battery and an sd card. They didn't even give me th right size I got an 8gb. Oh and when I had my hero replaced guess what? Brown box as well. Nows who's bubble has been bursted?
Cd's or tapes?

I've also gotten brand new Asurion replacements, 2 out of 4 with my Moment and 2 out of 3 with my Epic. Refurbs have always come in the bastard plain empty brown box lol

All refurbs I've ever gotten came in this box.

According to newkidd Sprint should be able to repair it for free without replacing it since the screen and the phone itself works perfectly and I have TEP.

That sucks man, but at least it's just cosmetic. Hopefully Sprint gets it fixed up for you nice and quick.

Hey Vicodan - not satisfied with the standard benchmark tests you've been subjecting the phone to! Let the physical testing of the phone begin!!! - what's next - maybe leaving it next to the stove - hey - just kidding man- luckily you're ok- can really get messed up in a fall

I do, but the app wasn't installed, so it doesn't work :'(
And I tried to install plan b, I read lifehackers post on it awhile ago, but these people were expert thieves, they changed the service to another phone, and tried to make a purchase with it almost immediatly. Luckily, the charge was canceled and I ended service for the phone, then they sent me the new phone I'm currently using.
I would have loved it to work, but alas, sad. My only concern now is if there is a way to deauthorize that phone from my google account. Other than that, as soon as I get around to rooting this thing, I'll be fine.

Ouch!! That looks painful.. Poor shift!

Turn on Google's 2 Step Verification.

I broke my screen digitizer a few weeks ago. Luckily I was able to buy one off ebay and replace it myself. The only thing that I did wrong was I didn't really reglue it down to the frame, so dust and dirt has been getting underneath the screen (which you can see behind bright backgrounds). BTW, if anyone breaks theirs, here's a great video on how to take apart the whole phone.
