Hi, I am on my second Epic and I have a distinct black line of the right side of my screen....it seems as though it is a line of stuck pixels and it is quite annoying. I am considering bringing it back to radioshack. I would post pics but idk if they would turn out...its really bugging me...the line wasnt there last night either.
Apparently Radioshack are being total dicks, they were nice before about it and they arent willing to let me trade my Epic back in.
Nobody? Well Radioshack basically said I was lying and that I had dropped it and or put pressure on it...
I have a 1 pixel wide green line going down the right side of my Epic. It's only SLIGHTLY noticeable against a white screen like in the browser. In other screens I'm sure it's not there at all. Those few pixels just have a problem showing white I guess.

Haha will do! And If they ask for a receipt? lol just walk out?
I have had my evo only for a few weeks. I just today realized that when I push on the bottom left and right corners of the phone beneath the capacitive touch buttons that the glass seems to shift and make a noise. Has anyone else experienced this and should I think about having my evo replaced?

If you have only had it for a few weeks I would just bring it back and get a new one. I havent see anyone on here complain about that very same thing but there is always a first. What hardware version do you have? 004?

I was reading another thread and noticed another user flicks the kickstand in and out when they're bored I do the same thing how about you guys? Just trying to make small talk before I ask you all out. My name is Yevo.(fututlrama reference btw not actually looking for a date)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If I'm not doing anything, I'll mess around with the kickstand. I don't stay still very well you see...
Haha I do, everyone looks because it makes that clicking sound when it goes out then in.
I do the same... When Im on the phone at work I flick it... Or I hold the phone by it and spin it... I Probably shouldn't do that but oh well...
I'll admit, I fidget and mess with the kickstand whenever I'm in a boring meeting or whatever. Wore out the kickstand a bit on my first EVO doing that...
Yea, I flick it open and close all the time
I actually use it to prop my phone up. lol I use my Slingbox A LOT. I'll miss the kickstand, but it won't stop me from upgrading.
I know it is early in the thread, but not one penis joke?
I mess with mine all the time, I foubg that all it takes it a little pressure on the hinge side and it pops right open.
Haha yeah I do the same. I'll be standing somewhere reading on it while flicking the kickstand. It's become a habit of mine
yes i play with mine occasionally.
lol i do too when i am bored...
Only when my wife's out of town.

Exactly! I am constantly popping it up like that and slapping it back down
...giggity
-Just warming up!
yeah it doesnt take much to get my kickstand standing haha i dropped it when i was playing with it once and it fell on the kickstand, now it closes easier, opens quick, but stays locked in whatever position i leave it in
Haha, yeah, I flick it in and out all the time!
I'm actually surprized at how well it's held-up. When I first saw it, I was like well....that's going to break in a month!
Off topic:
When on the forum home, this thread is displayed as "Who else plays with their..."
Let the imagination run wild!
I flick it out, touch the underside, then flip it back in place.
Sometimes I'll stick mine out and chase the girlfriend around the house with it

Man, that would have been a great marketing ploy: Built-in Kickstand, that also works for warding off needy girlfriends and other unwanted people - flicks in and out with ease!
Ha ha ha... the home button, take a look again!
Ok this is funny
Had the phone about two weeks already.
I just noticed now when I was cleaning the screen, that the home button looked a tiny bit bubbly (for want of a better word). I thought, hmm wait a minute that doesn't look right.
Sure enough, on really close inspection I could see that the button still had a bit of the plastic clear cover on it! LOL managed to get it off and the button and phone look that bit better for it
Enjoy...
PS how many of you out there also didn't notice and still have the plastic on it, out of interest post back

Ha Ha same fault here Ha Ha Ha HAH!
Noticed it right away when I got the unit from the store but I believe some people users never noticed this even after a month of owning the device.. relatively the same with those who are blind to the screen issue
I noticed it after a few days, but had the same thoughts about that in mind.
I knew it looked a bit weird... didnt know it was a sticky till now ^o^
I noticed it straight away but I guess I'm half blind. No screen issue here.
I noticed it on the day I got the phone, but decided to leave it there.
I had the same on my Sgs I and noticed it right away, but on my Sgs 2 i left it there to prevent from scratches
Nice, I just scratched the edge of my home-button, trying to get a non-existing film off... Guess mine never had it - but what I have now, is a scratched home-button jesus...
Hahaha im using this device for more than 1 month n noticed it just few days back lol

Are you sure all S2s have one cuz I could almost swear mine doesn't :S
HAHAHAHAHAAHAEHEAHEYEYEYEUEUGSHaduigfa;pdvgqeuipr
Ahem.
This thread, right here, will one day be entered into evidence for the defence after a developer or even a normal member of society decides that some culling would be the order of the day.
Good grief.
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
The stupid in this thread alone makes me regret being a part of the human race.
hahahahaha....ha.....ha.
No seriously.
So today I noticed my phone had a purple blotch on it and well I thought nothing of it until I saw more of it at the bottom and when I turn the brightness up it gets even worse all over the screen on my phone. I've found one other person with this issue and they hadn't received any help, so I'm coming to you guys to ask you as to whats going on with my screen. Some information as follows, I am using the RandomRom with gingerbread and the modem is EI22.
my phone is kinda doing the same thing..
but. I took my phone in because the screen wouldnt come on..
and when I got it back the screen colors was all messed up..
I asked them about it.. and they said thats how I Gave it to them..
which is a lie.. but I didnt want to give them my phone back for another 4 to 6 hours..
I plan on taking it back.. but right now I'm too lazy to unroot my phone and put it back to stock.. then give it to them for god knows how long..
people say my phone screen looks like a old school GameBoy Color screen..
right now I don't even notice it anymore.. I got use to it.
so when ever I do decide to get it fixed.. its gonna be like I got a brand new phone..
Right, so does anyone know why this happens?

Had mine serviced last week. Its the ribbon for the screen. Covered under TEP if ya got it. At least this what the issue sound like. If you guys are anything like me, its probably from over clocking and such.

Well I didn't overclock my phone, unless the ROM I installed did that itself.
So is this covered by Sprint for free? I can't exactly afford another replacement.
It's entirely pink now and the bottom itself is progressing to a darkish blue blotch and slowly replacing the pink.

As long as you have the insurance, yes, its free.

Well I think we have insurance on the phone, but I'm going to run it into the store sometime this week. I'm gonna keep checking this thread though for any updated information. But on a short note... when I got this phone replaced, the left side of the screen could be pushed up more than the other side. In my experience of having this phone a few times it has never done that so I assume it's on the department stores part. But do you think it has anything to do with my issue of this funky screen?

I guess anything is possible but it sounds exactly like my issues.

Okay so here's an update I haven't had it replaced yet but the screen is now tinted blue with black coming from the bottom. I managed to bring my phone back to Stock EC05 after bricking it apparently. So the download mode triangle is stuck on the uh overlay of blue and the entire bottom is basically black.
