looks like we have the first report the of kickstand wearing out, damn only been a month too :/

I haven't had this issue. My kickstand is pretty solid and hasn't popped out accidentally once.

hmm, i tried to shake my phone and 'whip' it to try to get the kickstand to fall out.
nothing.
and i fiddle with it...just like i do with the battery covers on remotes etc
i open my kickstand by pushing on one end so the other end pops out.

I think you have to use the version floating around the forums. IT has been a few weeks but there is a thread discussing it and the link to the file works fine.

It just seems lose maybe I should take it to sprint and make them tighten it

new hole on bottom of evo

i got my evo on july 3, never even considered putting it in a case because its just so damn sexy it should be naked all the time.... so wednesday i noticed a scratch or maybe a crack on the screen. took the phone in and they replaced the front housing front display and rear display.... now theres a little hole on the bottom of the evo to the left of the microusb port that wasnt there before. What is this? it looks like the little reset button my kaiser and touch pro had, but obviously the evo has no stylus so what gives??

I personally haven't tried, but one of my buddies said after a few days, up to a week of use, it goes back to the way it was.

Sweet! When are you planning on doing it?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

Wow! Very nice! The springs seem to not be available right now. I also have a little fear of disassembling my phone.. The last time I did it, it was on a Sony Ericsson k800i, I ended up break the power button off without even knowing it until there was no feel in the power button when I tried to turn it in.

hey,
for everyone not being able to buy a new spring right now.
i tried just to stretch the spring buy ya...it goes back after a few days...
so i heated it up and then stretched it.
it works like a charm!
just take a lighter and then stretch it with some tools cuz otherwise ull get burned.
for now it seems to work reeeally good. have beein using that for 6 days now.
(and i open and close it a lot!!)
just try it out.

did you use a black marker

try using dye..
i remember someone doing this for the touch pro 2.. i have the phone before and the desire z feels the same so it might work
they used dye to add color to the matte part of the cover
pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/htc-touch-pro2-user-dyes-battery-cover-provides-pics-video-tutorial

I really need to know how this is done. I've had 3 G2's cus they keep changing a yellow color. If it was black I wouldn't have to worry about this.
Please share.

For the final sanding I would use somethin really fine or you could even semi-wet sand it and you'll get a great finish.

Can you post better pics...i want to do this.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Looks good bro, even though mine has been in the case since day 1 I think I still might try this. I always wondered my they only made the G2 in silver...

I don't intend to be mean or anything.........but maybe wash your hands more often? Had mine since launch and there is no discoloration.

My rear camera lens has 2 scratches!!!!!!!!

I have the moto portfolio case and got my xoom from launch day and today I just noticed my rear cam has two scratches and I'm about to cry!!!!!
Does anyone knows if there is a way to replace it and how much would it cost!!! I hate the moto case because doesn't protect ****!!!! But am I hopeless? Any help would be appreciated (even people complaining about this post and redirecting me to the right one)
Thanks!

Haven't tried it yet but it just hurts me to see my expensive toy like this!
Yeah yeah, its a shooter,we call it 3VO and I'm not afraid to use it...

You should be OK. You probably rested it on some keys or something.

Thanks for the reminder for me to be careful with that lens. I hope it's not a problem for you.

Same here.
I too have an issue with my camera. The plastic covering the camera has a dent right over the camera opening. Any ideas on this seemingly simple rplacement part?

That's what I was trying to get but, anyways it seems to not affect the pictures at all... at least on mine...
