My condolences on your loss but...wallpaper link? lol

Yup. Tried to do it online got an error. called sprint, they didnt put insurance on the account when I got the phone. lol. Went to sprint had them add insurance since my other two lines had it. I always want insurance on 500 dollar phones because stuff like this ALWAYS seems to happen. So I will be now calling them sometime shortly. I wish sprint could just fix it. I saw the teardown pics. didnt look that hard to me. lol

Supposedly, he dropped it at the bar and some chick stepped on it in her high heels. You can kind of see where the heel made contact to the left side. If it wasn't MY phone, I'd almost admire how cool and almost perfect looking the cracked screen is.

Exactly! Why be mad? You just get a new one from him...although he'd have to do it in short order...I don't go without a phone.

Everything sounds super scratchy and sounds like utter CRAP. Took about a month and a half for it to happen, I have a release phone. Sprint store tomorrow I guess good thing I have INSURANCE

I don't think you'll need insurance, that should be a warranty issue.
Definitely a warranty issue. You're fine. Call Sprint up!
Walked in and walked out 3 minutes later with a Phone Ordered to replace it lol.
The back speaker or the earpiece. If it's the front one, mine sounded like that out of the box. Lots of vibrations and sounded like the other person was talking through a kazoo, which was most annoying. I got it exchanged though.
White evo? They come in diff. Colors?

Whew! Talk about lucky (yeah, another toilet story).

Ever wanted to kill your wife after she dropped her evo into the crapper? I have. Just happened on Saturday. She forgot it was in her back pocket, and out it slipped (luckily pre-dump, lol). Pulled the battery right away, and buried it in a sealed tupperware container of rice. After a day and a half, took it out, and it works. Still has moisture under the screen, and the haptic feedback for the capacitive buttons isn't working right, but she can deal with those two things, unless they're cheap to fix. We'll see how things go over a longer period, as I just took it out today, but I've got some hope at least. Just felt like sharing a little messed up story.
I bet it went plop!
Nope, can't say I ever wanted to kill someone over a piece of electronics.

Wow, this thread took a weird turn. Looks like I might have to hurt someone after all, as it seems the phone stopped working after about 2 days. Now it's stuck at the splash screen. Oh, and btw, I wasn't talking about literally killing someone.
but was she good in bed?

That does suck. My first thought when I read your OP was that a day and a half isn't long enough in rice.
Buy your wife lots of new shoes, and use the desiccant packs to dry out the evo. Then return the shoes to punnish her
This may help also:

Notification bar doesn't WORK!

Yes, I understand that there are several threads that discuss this, but everybody seems to find an answer and I don't. My notification bar does not slide down, but it does while in landscape mode (on the left side the whole way up and down). I ran a screen test and there was nothing wrong, and I didn't drop it. Anybody know what it could be?
Have you tried wiping and reflashing your ROM/ kernel?
I had this EXACT problem. only.. it happened right after i dropped it. i just called sprint and told them idk y it was doing it so they replaced my phone.
full wipe and reflash the rom.
It also helps us more if we know what rom and kernel you're running

I had the stock rom when I started.. I whiped and reflashed to MikiFroYo rom, idk what the kernel is. I can't get another one because I bought this on eBay and don't have insurance for it :/ I wanted to get an otterbox or something for it, but I have an extended battery on it.
Well you can get insurance with Sprint that's what I did and I just my EVO from eBay also....I'm not sure if you can get it anytime or if its open enrollment this month....I suggest you check it out...oh and my bar is messed up too.
I've haven't had access to my notification bar for probably 6+ months. Just click menu and notification and move on with life lol. I heard it could be as simple as cable on motherboard isn't fully inserted as in popped out on a drop. Or rough handling.

I've had this issue with themes on several ROM's. Remove the theme and run the ROM as normal and the bar returns. Install the themes again and it goes away.

Actually yes, that makes you cheap and ghetto. $100 is a fair price for a refurb considering your busted a** piece that you call an EVO has a cracked screen and it's still cheaper than any upgrade you're thinking about getting.

Lol, I've had my EVO since launch. Ghetto people like yourself disgust me. You didn't say you wanted to upgrade. I was just making my point. That point would be that your cheap and that getting a refurb would be more cost effective for ghetto people like you than to upgrade. Use your brain before you open your mouth or put your fingers on a keyboard.

LOL i think sprint hacked my phone ....

lol was sitting @ my desk and for some reason my phone started to change homescreens by its self
left center right far right center ..
randomly putting widgets on my desktops lol i had to wiped D and C rebooted same **** W T F .
so i finally had to cave and wipe everything and reinstall
just strange my wife was watching the phone do it's freak out and asked if it sprint lol
if it's a refurb it could be defective. that's why i always buy new, no used ones.
It was Google. They are planning world domination.

Sprint has NO control over your phone. Google can do certain things, as we saw last week with the remote app remover. But they would never change your homescreens and add widgets. It was probably just the touch screen acting crazy.

you get upset quite easily. i didn't say you HAD to buy one, i said it's an option if your phone is jacked. there is no such word as refurb, it's used, plain & simple.
my advice is to do a full wipe and try a different rom to see if your issues persist.

if he wants an evo, it would be worth it to buy new, not used. and yes the minute the evo3d drops on sprint, so will the price of an evo. it's just the way it works. prices are already down alot from even 6 months ago. they used to go for $500+ on craigslist or ebay, not anymore.
My Samsung moment did that after I flashed a ROM, then it would settle down. I'm sure it was the screen being over sensitive.
