3 Brand-new replacement EVOs from Sprint.com - Still 0003HW - Changes!

Anyone gotten one of the new evos from sprint.com that they just got in stock this week?
My 3 replacements showed up today, but they're at the billing address. I called at 5PM MST yesterday and they were there at 10am this morning - talk about UPS fast.
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else had gotten one yet and if it was hardware 0004. I guess I'll find out tomorrow afternoon when I go pick them up and report back on here about the differences since we have 3 0002 with light leakage and mine with the speaker kazoo effect. Haha.

Please keep us updated on if this is a different hardware version or not. I'll be replacing my 003 come Monday because of light leakage around three outer edges (but mostly because of a scratch and i want a shiny new one now that my screen protector is in haha).

Mine is only 4 days old and it says hardware version 0003. Was on waiting list and they got in 15 on Wed

0003
I ordered 2 evo's from Sprint.com as soon as they got back in stock on Tues 6/29 about 4pm pst, Got them on Thur (7/1) They a Hardware version 0003.

They were better,any light leakage?

Google "Olestra" , I'd bet that's why.
So far as 004's, I have a Novatek 002 with very slight light leakage but my buddy at da Shack has a brand new one coming in for me...If it's an 004 I'll grab it, if it's an 002 I'm pretty sure I'll take it...but if it's an 003 who knows what screen it has, though I'm sure he'll let me check it first.
But for some reason I have very high hopes for 004's, if they ever get produced.

I just got a replacement Evo cause I pricked mine its version 3, flat black battery cover, battery with a gold or silver strip(don't remember which it is) and no light leakage so far. But my battery blows!!!!!! Terribly!!!!!! Worse than with the solid red battery. Idk what to do about the battery I've tried all the tricks nothing seems to work

got mine a couple of days ago
hardware 003
rooted and flashed fresh 0.53
no problem so far (battery life is reasonable considering i m using live wallpaper and slide show photo frame)

I'll keep you all posted later today when I get the 3 new ones. I'll compaire them with the old ones, too and probably take pics of any differences.
Does anyone know what I can keep from the old ones? I'd really like to keep the chargers, battery covers and batteries if I can get away with it. They'll be going back to sprint.com, so I'm not sure what their pollocy is.
Also, how should I back up the current phones? They're all rooted, so I just need to back up the apps and settings. I know I've read that all the settings are saved on your google account, but is every single setting in the settings menu really saved, or just your email, facebook, ect. accounts saved?

Google just backs up contacts emails, calendar, that sort of stuff. Titanium backup should do the trick with apps and settings. I'm not sure if a nandroid backup would work, or I would suggest that. But I think the nandroid backup will only work on the device that was used to make the backup. Correct me if I'm wrong.. Haven't tried this yet.

Ordered on teusday night by phone thru sprint, and got my it the next day no shipping no acctivation fee. Its an 0003 with the epson screen. Man this phone rocks!!! Iphone can kiss my customizable butt

Small update: Just unboxed the 3 replacement phones. Non of them have the screen popping up problem and it almost seems as if they are sunk down a little bit more than my first one. All 3 have the new epson screen, which I don't think looks quite as good, but it's more of a true black, not a purpley black.
They're all 0003. Also, if you look under your battery, the number in the bottom right is something something - something XA, my first evo (0002) just said A there.
And all 3 have the new battery with the silver foil around them with sharper corners.
For now, that's all I can see that's different. I'll update more later.

Just checked. One of the old ones and one of the new ones both say 2.1-update1 and since the old one didn't receive the OTA, I'm guessing the new ones don't have the OTA installed.

They will include a bubble pouch that you will have to ship back that includes only the phone. They instruct you to rem move the battery.

Great! So I get to keep the 3 extra battery covers, batteries, chargers, ect.? If so, that evens out the problem with them giving me the run around trying to get these replacements.

So it seems that all (if not most) of the new Evo is HW003 with Epson screens?

Yes, I would say all. The 3 that I just unboxed all had a little bit different tent to them, but nothing like the 0002hw screens.

Not really I got mine yesterday with a Build date of June 16 and its Novatec.

Screen Circle problem

Got my SGSII yesterday only to realize that there is a circle on the downleft of screen. It's very annoying. Went to Telenor today but they had no phones left. Only thing to do now is wait 4 weeks for a new one.
Any idé on what this is? Have you checked your own ones?
imgur.com/a/pLZC5#3guAm

More people have this. I don't know if it went away with anyone? Some say it should go away and the production process causing it.
I see you also have the 1/3 yellowish/darker screen. I am wondering if there is someone who doesn't have this.
Sorry didn't want you to focuss on it, guess you didn't saw yet. but a lot have this(if not everybody).

Haha now when you say it. I was so blind cause of that circle that I didn't notice the yellow/dark thing! Haha!
Do you have a link to any other source that say that they have gotten rid of the circle thing? I searched alot before posting but couldn't find anythin.

wow almost looks like you kept your phone in your pocket with some coin for too long
dial *#0*# to see the menu for individual color display, or use some app like Dead Pixel Detect , to do more tests.

lol it's funny

Dont have any problems with my screen. Tried setting higher and lower brightness on different background and saw nothing. Are display problems really that common?

So no Yellow on the left side on grey? No vertical lines of white on grey background?
No blue coating when tilting the phone?

I wouldn't be amused having to wait 4 weeks to get that fixed.

I took some more pictures on different backgrounds and it seems like it is only visible on grey. Ar almost.

Only thing to do is send it in?

this phone has so many faults.
all you can do is send it back and get another one... and hope that there isnt something wrong with that.

Am I lucky? My one has no problem. Did you do special things? Or the circle point was pressed? I am worry about possible problem on my sgs2.

Didn't do anything. Opened it, charged it and booted it. Tested it out and rolled down statusbar, noticed directly and all my happyness for my new phone dissappeared.

I guess its the kind of person who owns the phone..
I myself am almost a perfectionist.. well.. atleast when i buy new things.. why would i want a new product with some minor/ major problems on it?
hardware problems.. not software.. since software can be fixed.

I had the circle on mine, top right of the screen. Made a thread about it last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078058
Noticed it shortly after taking delivery of the box when I was viewing some photos. It's not visible on pixels where full brightness is used (no matter if it's R, G, or B), but on anything between black and full white it's visible. Sent mine back yesterday for replacement, but I was told by an Expansys-USA rep that they won't have any in stock till the 30th.
Supposedly it's from the suction cup used on the assembly line and that it's technically supposed to go away over time. Expansys only gives a small window of time for returns, and my circle wasn't showing signs of disappearing. Might wanna have yours swapped out, too.

Thanks, was looking for someone else having this problem.
I live in Sweden and ordered from operator Telenor.
They only have a 7 day DOA, so I called them and because all phones were out both in physical store and on the web, they was going to send me a servicebox that I will pack everything and then send it. Hopefully I will get a new one in a few weeks. They say that it can take up to a month though.

Hey there,
I got the exact same thing, but on the right side of the display. I got this thing just yesterday, I live in Germany.
I really do not want to send it back, especially since it seems display problems are pretty common with this phone and there is no guarantee I'll get another one without it.
Anyone knows if this might go away? I have 4 weeks until I have to send it back.

No idea if it will go away, but if you've got 4 weeks, maybe you can see if it does fade over time? I had a really short period of time to report any problems with the phone to Expansys (48 hours), so I couldn't wait.
Man... 4 weeks..! That seems like such a luxurious amount of time to check for problems with the phone.

I can't see anything like this on my phone...
How can I see/make it:-??

Notes regarding the June batch of Ones compared to launch

Hi all! Well I finally exchanged my One because of the red noise issue that has been well described here on xda, so I thought I'd post my observations on how a phone built in March compares to one built in June.
First one: manufactured in Taiwan, March 9th
New one: manufactured in Taiwan, June 25th
First of all, I'm happy to report the red noise is gone feels like freedom! Hopefully it doesn't develop again but so far nothing I've done has caused the noise (putting it down on a table, using when warm (<35 degrees) etc.) So hopefully this means htc changed their sensor in some way so as to prevent the issue which is clearly hardware and can't be fixed through software updates for most people. The new sensor was manufactured on June 19th. Considering 86% of users report the issue http//forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317507 it's pretty unlikely I just got lucky on this one (why I am optimistic new sensors are different).
The build quality is also better than my first. The first wasn't bad compared to many people who had gap and screen problems, but there were some overhangs and poorly machined parts. The new one is perfect... Completely. So again hopefully this indicates they have improved their manufacturing and QC processes. Considering how prevalent these issues were at launch, it's pretty unlikely I got lucky twice rather than them improving QC IMO).
The display is also better. This probably isn't a batch specific thing since they use multiple suppliers (2 that I know of - sharp with renesas controller and JDI with Samsung controller). The first was a JDI and had very good brightness, black level, and a cooler white balance. The new one is also a JDI. It has a Warmer white balance though (I prefer cooler, even though warmer ones like the new one produce more accurate colors) and the contrast has improved quite a bit. Brightness is roughly the same between the two. Normally warmer white balance is seen in the Sharp displays from what I understand http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202869. Perhaps it's not as warm as a sharp panel would be though since they seem pretty rare and I've never encountered one.
They seem to have changed the vibration motor because this one doesn't shake the table when it goes off seriously the first one was excessive. It also made an annoying noise when it went off. The new one is much quieter and smoother. It feels more like how my old iPhone 4s was (if you've had one, you know this is a good thing!)
They've changed the usb cable - the ends are rubber now instead of the hard plastic that was on the first one. Small change, makes it feel better to me.
So overall everything seems to be a change for the positive. I'm not sure if I got the STM hdr mic or not, though since the judgement was passed in April I'd be inclined to think they would still have decent stock a month later at least. Hopefully stock holds out! So if you've been waiting to exchange for fear of getting one with poor build quality or a camera sensor that's just as bad, maybe these observations indicate that it's safe now. I really hope so...
If there's something else you'd like to know, I'd be happy to try and compare

How did you get a replacement phone? i sent mine to htc repair in the uk for the purple camera issue and am expecting it back on tuesday. They haven't said anything so as far as i know I assume i'll have the same phone with a new sensor?
Would love a replacement seen as some edges and the screen is not totally flush! Although would hate to lose my hdr mic!
Really hope they've fixed the purple tint though - feels like i'm missing a limb without the phone and don't want to send it away again if i can help it! :good:

Yours should be fine when it's returned (hopefully). Mine was a mess when I sent it in for repair (9th March build date). When I got it back, the screen was flush, gaps were gone, overhangs were gone etc.
Camera problem will be fixed, if they give you a new sensor (august build date onwards). Anything before that seems as though the problem returns eventually.
Happy to say that after 2 months with the replacement camera sensor, being heavily used,everything is still working correctly
Hope you have as much luck as I did with the UK repair center

Hey thanks for this, settled my nerves a little! I'm impressed they sorted out all the little gaps and problems on your phone! Glad to hear its in perfect condition man :good:. The repair guy just put on the form 'camera malfunction' so i wrote next to it '(purple tinting)' i hope they've taken it into account. I also noted beside that in pen the sim card not always detected issue that has been more prevalent lately - do you think they will fix that too? Is it proven they have sorted out the issue in the new sensors?
Also, they took received my device and returned it at the end of the day the next day. How long did yours take? Is there a form telling you what they fixed or did to repair it?
Sorry for all the questions! Thanks!

I exchanged mine through best buy since I got the product exchange warrantee. It couldn't have been easier actually, I just had to take it in, let them reset it and confirm it was still purple after and they gave me a new one 10min later. I've never heard of someone having it go so smoothly through htc so perhaps it's best to go through a carrier or store if possible.
Really really really hoping the problem doesn't come back since this is a June sensor...

Unfortunately because i bought mine brand new unbranded from ebay i can't take it to a carrier... However it seems that HTC UK do a decent job of repairs and haven't seen many complaints. spikeydoo2006 has given me hope as it sounds as though he's had a great experience! I wish htc would publicly acknowledge a hardware fault in the early models so that they can confirm the problem has been fixed! I love htc phones since i've had my desire hd and one x - its disappointing to have to send my one in for repair!

Well, that didn't take long...the noise problem with the camera is back and getting worse with time just like before. Also just like before heat is causing it and making it worse. I posted pics and a more complete breakdown of these lovely new developments here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47136748#post47136748
I'm beginning to accept that there is and never will be such a thing as a "good" sensor for this camera...

Took some good damn pictures at night when I first got the phone.
Now almost every dark pictures goes to full red mode. And if having it exchanged only reports the problem for another few weeks...

I'm really puzzled and confused by all these red/purple tint issues with people's one's. Although I don't think the night shots a're exactly great, I can't get my phone to show these tints.
What I have noticed on my replacement phone, is that the beats audio letters have started to run off just weeks after getting the phone and the screen isn't quite as good as my first one.

What did you do to get yours exchanged and with who - HTC or carrier? My Sprint One is new (had it less than 2 weeks) but manufactured FA37SS906etc (July 25) and has the red problem. Posted a thread about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514330

I always try to avoid carriers as much as possible so I got it through best buy. I also made sure to get a product replacement plan on it so I only had to show them the problem, let them do a restore, then leave 10min later with a new phone. I've been following the primary thread about this issue and most people who go through htc seen to have to wait a long time to get it back.
Read through your post, and yup, that's the problem 85% of us have. If you think it will go away it won't. Your options are to replace the phone or the sensor but I have yet to hear of someone who did this and had it fixed permanently (the new sensor also eventually failed). Who knows, maybe someday they'll make a good one...

Nexus 6P Graphite. Fingerprint scanner is a different color?

Hello guys!
The fingerprint scanner on my Graphite Nexus 6P is another color than the rest of the body? For me it seems to be greener than the body.
Is it the same for you?

Anyone?

Can you show us a picture.

Did you checked the photos I provided? Are you sure this is normal? I did not see this on my first model

Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...

It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

its normal. you also have to consider they are different materials which will affect the color a little. I have aluminum and its the same. scanner and bottom are different shades. nothing to worry about

I might be a little OCD ambout my phone. The reason i am a little worried is because I do not remember my first unit having this. But on the first one I had a bad pinkish display....on this one the display is good...but i noticed today the different colors.

Looks normal. What exactly is your concern? Does everything function as it should?

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P

Glass cracked, LCD + touch work, 2/3 home buttons do not work - What to replace

Dropped the phone, boohoo, glass shattered. lcd works fine and so do all touch areas. But the home button and back button do not work along the bottom. My overview/panels button still works.
So what do I need to replace? Will a simple glass replacement/Digitizer on eBay for about $10 restore function to the home and back button?
(as a side note - I think I can root the device + install permanent on screen action buttons right? The free stuff from Google play isn't cutting it)

happened to me a few months ago, I bought full lcd + digitizer from alliexpress. I believe it woul be very hard to separte the display from the screen/digitizer

Good to know they're available. I somehow got a tiny corner chip on mine (no idea how). Thankfully it's small and low enough that it doesn't affect buttons or screen.

Would this basically be it?:
Seems pretty simple as long as I can get my hand on a heating gun.

Yeah that is the one you need
That same seller sent me a message after I paid for the screen, he told me that there was low stock and it will take them about 6 days to restock, I decided to cancel the order and buy it from another seller but it was the same story, there was no stock and it took them around a week to send the screen.
I placed the order on Jan 03, the screen was shipped on Jan 09, and it was delivered on Jan 16.

My phone on stock rom has an issue where the left edge does not work. LeEco said it was a known issue. I literally cannot seek a YouTube video to time 0:00 because it stops responding at about 0:14.
Do you have any issue with YouTube seeking to the beginning with the new screen?

That has no effect for me.
If it is a hardware issue, I would ask LeEco to exchange it or I'll just replace the screen myself. LeEco tells me it is a known issue that I have. Now I am questioning if others have the same issue as me.
Can I assume nobody else has an issue with the screen/digitizer on the left edge, such as when seeking YouTube videos to the beginning?

replacement experience
Hi all,
For those who have change the display for the x720/x727, Have you found any significant difference from the original display? I need to change mine, and I have seen one on aliexpress. Sorry but I can't post the link because of the 10 post limitation.
It has many reviews, being almost all of them positive. But someone tells that there is no light on the capacitive buttons. I'd want to know if you have experienced this issue. Also, in your opinion, has the replacement the same brightness like the original one? Is as responsive as the original one?
Many thanks.

For me the replacement one looks a bit better than the original. Everything works fine.
