Is it just me or the shift getting extremly hot after permroot. I would be playing angry birds on it while charging and it warms up till the point it stops charging and it starts blinking red and green. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Its probably just you...sounds like a defect. Id go exchange it asap.

Sprint are being dildos of the highest caliber. I told them it overheats, and they changed the battery with a "new one". I opened the Shift to see it and guess what --it is and old scratched beat up battery. I showed it to the manager and his response was "We don't have any new batteries in stock, so we replace them with used ones". Can you believe it. I filed two complaints with fcc and bbb
If I don't hear anything from them I'll probably end up paying their restocking fee ($35) just before the 30 days, which is like pissing money away . I should have bought it from Best Buy. They throw in a free handset on top.

My evo is starting to get really annoying with reboots. I want to go to sprint to get a replacement. I know I got to unroot, (I know this is not the problem), but what do I tell sprint in order to get a replacement? I've had the phone since July if that makes a difference. It's gotten so bad that I can barely stay in the browser for 5 minutes without a reboot. Or a game like mini squadron.
Any writing methods to perhaps fix this?
Any help is appreciated.

There is no fix for the power cycling problem. Sorry but you will have to get a replacement phone. Just go to your local corporate Sprint store and show them what it's doing and they will order you a warranty replacement. I had the same problem with my first EVO. This seems to be a fairly common issue on some of the early hardware version EVO's. flash the "s-on" tool from unrevoked.com website then run the stock ota 3.70 sprint rom from your computer to put your phone back to stock condition. GOOD LUCK.
Thanks man. Sounds like a plan, but the reboots are pretty random, gonna be hard to prove. Or do I just have to tell them? I'm still in warrantee after 7 months? Dang.
Thanks, its been a frustrating month.

No. They don't fix anything. They'll either say it's defective and give you a refurb or if they think you broke it send you off to Assurion to pay your $100 deductible.
EDIT: I should read. They'll probably send you back to Radioshack.

Yes you should unroot just to be smart about it.
Why would you drop it in water?
So you have to pay the $100 deductible?!?

If you did not physically break the soldering pads off of the board then a sprint repair center will replace your phone for free. If you did then they will tell you to file a claim.

it's not a short term fix, but buy an external charger with a couple of extra batteries from China for $20. It will take a few weeks to get, but I never charge my phone, just switch batteries.
I do pay the insurance fee a month.... Now I'm looking to see where I can find the link to unroot my phone.... does anyone have it handy.... I used unrevoked... I think that was the name of it....

It's not that easy with the tiny boards on cell phones. You would have to be an expert at soldering and have specialized soldering equipment.
Charging port broke on mine also... Called Sprint to ask to replace it. You need to be stern when talking with the rep, this is a known defect of the EVO. And they will replace it at no charge as they did for me. I unrooted and had a replacement within 3 days. Hope this helps.

The port will move reguardless of which condition your port is in. The only way to know for sure is to open up the phone. Which a sprint repair center will do for free for you since you have tep.

I returned 2 phones to a repair center and all I did was flash a rooted stock rom and they replaced two phones due to a charging port no questions asked
My charging port broke, unfortunately my battery was so low I couldn't unroot. Luckily the guy at the sprint store was nice enough to work with me on it anyway and replaced free. He said that they weren't supposed to repair rooted HTC phones (for whatever reason). So hope that you're able to unroot and avoid the hassle.
My charging port also broke. So I took it to my local sprint store and they told me to return it to stock condition and come back. So I hopped on xda and downloaded a couple of things and unrooted it right in front of him on the spot.
I suspected the guy behind the counter didn't mind too much since he was showing me his rooted EVO running CM7. I should have my new phone in a couple of days.

Got to bring the wife's epic into Sprint for a hardware issue. It appears the phone speaker isn't working. Thought it was Cm7 issue but flashed back to stock EL30 (btw thanks to who ever got that for us) with modem still no sound at all. Copied all her data off onto the computer formated the card then copied some stuff back like her pictures and music. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time I am paying for the extended. I am kind of hoping they will offer a upgrade to the touch.
Any suggestions would be grateful.
Good luck!
Gotta figure out the angle to take. Whether to pull a complete phone "What's root? Is that some kind of new Pokemon?" angle. Or the "Yeah I am alright with Android, I just hit a bump. Help me out?"
I usually play stupid. With the added nicety.
You should be fine on the service issue. Good luck on the upgrade attempt.

Our headset speaker broke. I bought another one on eBay, split the display, replaced the speaker and it still didn't work. Took it to sprint, paid $35 and they swapped the entire display /top slider. They said they don't split the display as the policy is to swap put the entire piece. Problems solved go us
Oh yeah, I also had no insurance and was well over a year onto ownership of the phone.

So I'm on my third shift in two months and I've had it with this phone. First two had touch screen issues and now the third one when I slide out the keyboard the hinges are like grinding. Last time I spoke with a Sprint rep he told me there was only a certain amount of replacement phones allowed and then they would upgrade me. Will this force me to use my upgrade early? I don't really want to use my upgrade early unless I can upgrade again in 6 months when my original contract is up. I would rather wait for the new motorola slider to come out before using my upgrade. And I don't want to have to pay like $200 yet for a new phone/contract. So what are all of my options, or do you think they'll offer a slight upgrade for free like a evo 3d or something?
Well I left sprint yesterday and was shocked that the only htc device they have is the EVO 4G lte. The evo3d and evo design have both been discontinued and pulled from the shelves... Insurance is your only option for a shift and they are on back order... Not exactly a great situation for a shift owner...

Vicodan there's one thread called on my second shift lmao. Yeah Sprint knows I'm fed up with all these shifts being on back order and not having a working phone for weeks at a time and then sending me crappy refurbs that only last a week or so. That's why they told me they would upgrade me after two or three replacements even with insurance. I'm almost with drob on leaving Sprint

If you do take it in, and they start giving you ISH. Do what I do, while your still standing there call Sprint. Let them know the situation, and that the CS Rep in the store isn't helping you resolve the issue. What I've found out the GD hard way, is that the people in the store are not even remotely trying to help you. They're usually on direct orders from the Store Manager to basically put you off. Or try and get you to go through insurance. The stores bottom line is their main concern, not you. I've actually had a store Rep tell me there was nothing he could do to help me. Then I tell him I have Sprint on the phone, and they'd like to speak with them. Then all of a sudden the story changes.
I'm still on my first Shifty, but it is finally beginning to have problems. The touch screen is acting very weird. It acts as if my finger is constantly touching the top portion of the screen.
It will open whatever app is up there, if any, and click through every button within the app on that part of the screen. All while I am not even touching the screen. If I try to back out of the screen or hit home it will just do it again over and over, like I'm hitting the same area over and over.
If I smack the phone off the palm of my hand it stops...lol
