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.
****ty pics taken by my touchpad.

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

Do you have tep? There's a program for tep that will locate your phone.

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

In the future, there is an app made just for this type of situation called "Plan B". Here is a Lifehacker article about it and HERE is a success story linked from Engadget.

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!

Walk much???

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.

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).

Yes it is that unique, it stops bullets! Dont you watch the news? haha
The Evo is also mentioned by name at the end of the CBS Atlanta clip.
As a footnote, the bullet was traveling at a very shallow angle judging from the damage to the battery. Definitely not a straight on shot.

The Police are going to refund him to buy another phone, They kept his phone as evidence in the crime. So he won't have to use none of his insurance, if he has any.

It must have been a .22 that hit him.
What a great story! if you watch the video clip, the newscasters mention the "evo cellphone" three separate times. very nice!
That's nothing. My EVO saved my life by donating a kidney. I love you, EVO.
My Evo saves me when I get hungry. I have an app that turns on my stove, and the toaster and the Ravioli boils. Through WiFi.

It was stated in the report that it was a 40 cal round that hit the phone.
They should start issuing Evos to our troops in Afghanistan.
"Now Garber is waiting for endorsements, "Sprint can contact me whenever they would like or HTC.""
Wow..really? What a tool. I am glad the cell phone saved his life and all, but why would you get endorsements? You didn't do anything special, you just got shot and it just so happened the cell phone was there. Now, it would be different if he got shot at, he grabbed the phone and deflected the shot..ha.
was the phone rooted and what rom and kernel....that is what makes a phone tougher!!! i am sure the batt was stronger with the htc battery trick for full charge
new evo commercial
this is android
and this is a battery
and this is a user that uses a phone that is faster then a speeding bullet.

Seriously I guess it must be the invisible shield I put on my screen that protects my phone from me constant dropping it on the ground
or maybe I was just lucky and got a perfect unit
Did they give you a refurbished after your first one?
Same my phone looks NEW shine it 3x a day but just out of curiosity if i have the 7$ protection plan from sprint how can i get a new phone without having to pay the 100$ deductible?
No they always get you a refurbished one unless you are on your first 30 days of purchase with the phone

Yes, but its also possible for you to be within 30 days and some stores give you a refurbished and treat is as new...it happened before..
And yes after 30 days you get refurbished usually BUT there are those lucky who get a brand new one.

That is absolutely not true. I am on Sero Premium, which requires apparently some special activation process that my sprint store didn't know about. 3 TEP replacements in a week all with "non functional radios" (ie they didn't activate it correctly), all refurbs. Finally they figured it out and just replaced the screen on my original epic with parts cannibalized from one of my 3 TEP replacements.
My first replacement was new dunno Whuts gonna happen this time I. Don't want a broke down ****box LOL I honestly want to trade it for an evo

Other than possibly frying the nand memory with a bad odin flash, or running it over what do you guys do to your phones? I work in a computer shop/recycling center and I carry my phone in my pocket. I run into stuff, hit it with 37in crts, drop it in open computer cases out of my shirt pocket and the drop to the concete only nicked the corner otherwise its perfect.

A Nuukey bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone; I had seen one of these before online and thought if it could be some way retrofitted onto another phone. It was a
pretty lucky find in that I was able to inspect it hands on. I thought since I had blown all my money anyways, so why not try it. Here is what I have so far:

It's the one thing that I'm missing from my old HTC 8125 and 8525.
Ugh playing roms on those things was infinitely more fun when I had buttons to press.
Edit: Also, if anyone stumbles upon a keyboard that connects via usb rather than over Bluetooth, please share.
this is fantastic. now what you should do is pick up an extra battery cover and outfit the sliding joint to it. i wonder how hard that would be. i have been trying to figure out this exact mod for months

Youtube vid shows it on, slight modification necessary however. Definitely think I might do this once I have some money.
I think a USB keyboard in this form factor would be fantastic, less battery consumer, and it shouldn't be so hard with the USB-host support, I'm right?
Why we don't suggest it to Nuu?

I kind of like this idea, plus then you could use it in places where bluetooth might be prohibited. Also makes your phone less open having bluetooth off.

Well it's been two days and there is some bad news after sliding it back and forth the springs gave out and there is too much pressure being put on the slide plate causing it to bend. I'm going to have to modify how its mounted before releasing instructions; I dont want anyone wasting their time or money.

WTF ATT!!

So I got my phone today and low and behold I have some serious (at least to me) blemishes and scratches on the back. Some pics below. I know they may not seem too bad but come on, this is a brand new phone, and unexceptable if you ask me. So I actually go to my nearby ATT store to see if they have stock already so they can swap it out and they don't have any yet. You could see it in the eyes of the workers that they hadn't seen one yet. Borderline oogling over it.
Anyways, they say call ATT and they'll send me another. I call and low and behold they CAN send me a replacement (not overnight mind you, I'd have to pay for that), but as I had to remind them, there is a backorder for it so they couldn't tell me when I'd get it. All this time I wouldn't be able to activate the phone. I say screw it, I'll keep it but you gotta give me something here. All they can do open a customer credit report and see if it goes through. Suffice it to say.....I'm pissed.

Yeah this is a total case of WTF. Must have happened in the flashing process when they added all their carrier crap.
Wow. Was it shipped in bag full of rocks?
Thats how mine is from GPlay! Not as bad as yours but the same type of marks.... Seems like it was slid around and there was a bunch of dust/debris in the box on the phone.. I called them up right after I saw and they were gonna set me up with a new replacement but there is a problem with there system with that apparently...:roll eyes: So I have to wait for them to fix that then get in contact with me to set up the replacement... Im using this one in a case in the mean time but it definitely shouldn't fly to get one that looks this way!
Looks like someone was skate boarding on it before shipping. Lol I would return it. There is no fu#king way I pay over $700 for a screwed up phone.

I was at my tmobile store when they unboxed their demo unit and it had the same nonsense. We considered that maybe they just purposely sent the ****ty ones to stores for demo purposes. Hope this is not a widespread issue

They would have touched it last when flashing their splash screenand doing the logo on the back. But a previous commenter said his gplay device was the same. I would look at how the phone fits in the retail packaging. Does it have room to move around at all, is what i would be looking at.

They would have touched it last when flashing their splash screenand doing the logo on the back. But a previous commenter said his gplay device was the same. I would look at how the phone fits in the retail packaging. Does it have room to move around at all, is what i would be looking at.

I think it has some room to move because there doesn't seem to be anything keeping it in place or anything protective it has to sit on. Its just sitting on indent of the phone with the documentation. I think it happened during shipping possibly especially if it was man handled it could bounce around and scuff up but idk? i don't see how sliding on cardboard could cause marks like that.
Im also still waiting on Gplay to reply and fix there system to get me a new replacement...
Did you have any issues getting AT&T to initiate the return? This is ridiculous, mine has this too.

AT&T wouldn't have done it themselves, just semantically speaking.
They would have made a deal with the OEM (Motorola) to make the modifications on their behalf before packaging.
Not defending AT&T or anything, of course.
