Im under my 30 days so I've takin my phone back twice already for a new one. The first on was a 0004 the second was a 0003 and now I have a 0004 again. It seems like the 0004s are a little snappier when launching apps and navigating through the general UI itself. Or am I just hallucinating. I'll tell you something else! When you first get the phone its set to vibrate when you touch the soft keys and the keyboard. The 0003 vibrated a lot more when you hit the keys which I didn't like. The 0004 is more faint vibration. I'll be trading thus guy in for a new one again this week because the screen is lifting already straight out of the box

WoW! So many in 30 days, what do they say when you take it in? I have one thats under the 30 and has one stuck pixel, I had decided to just keep it (0003) but if its really that easy, why now, lol. Do you get a fresh set of 30 days when you get the new one???
No my 30 days is up the 25th

When I push down on the bottom .left corner of the screen I can watch it pill back up. From what I've read around the internet it only gets worse and to take it back if you can. Maybe radio shack is getting crap phones who knows. All I know is that I'm under my thirty days and its worth another try to get one that is exceptible in my eyes. It's not exceptible for a screen to be separating from the phone itself right outta the box. There are standards to be upheld.

I agree, I would not settle for a screen separating at all! I am gonna keep my phone with the one stuck pixel though. To much to do, setting phone up and all for just one pixel. My luck the replacement would have 2 stuck pixels! lol
Good Luck

I took my first one back right after my 30 days because the usb port was falling apart. Two weeks later, I took the second one back because the software was bugging out & the phone wouldn't boot. Neither were rooted & I have insurance, so it was super easy and free. I got this one, rooted it, and that was in December & I've had no problems.
I agree about the haptic feedback on the 003s. I hate it, it feels like a toy or something. I dial it down to barely noticeable in CM Settings, but the 004s still feel smother.

Has anyone had the problem where they have large white spots on their screen?
On my screen I have 3 spots that are lighter than the rest of the phone. The spots dont affect the phone at all but they are really annoying. I have had the screen replaced 3 times by Sprint now and I want to know if its a defect or just my own damn fault. I never press the screen hard and I keep the phone in my pocket with the screen facing my leg. If others have this problem please chime in!

I was at the Sprint Store (official) yesterday with my friend (I was helping him pick out a phone). I brought my phone for the tech to look at for the same issue. What they told me is the oils from the skin cause it on HTC screens and there isn't anything they can do. I claim complete BS on this because I've had a screen protector on it. Not sure if I should just phone sprint or not...

So did both of your refurbished evo have the same white spots ?? I only have one white spot.... so far it doesn't bother me that much.....

from past experience white spots are dead pixels which is definitely a manufacture defect
I've had my Evo replaced numerous times.
Evo 1 replaces three weeks.after buying bacuase of a white spot. Replaced with a new one.
Evo 2 replaces fives weeks later dues to same white spot on screen. Replaced with a refurbished unit.
Evo 3 replaced three weeks later due to white spot on screen again. Replaced with another refurbished unit.
Evo 4 was damaged from beginning. Mic not working and external speaker, ringtone speaker, was sounding like it was blown. Replaced in three days. Got a free hdmi cable.
Evo 5, couldn't even use. It was still attached to another account. I went off on the Sprint rep at the store and told them I wanted it delivered to my house cuz I refused to go the store.
Evo 5.5. Store manager called and delivered to my house. He even was able to get me a white Evo. Brand new, not a refurbished unit. So far I call it my sixth in three months but fifth that I could use. In three months.
So far, one week later, no problems and hope there isn't any more. I love the phone but hate driving back and fourth.

No... dead pixels are pixels that show only one color... or no color at all.... this is just a defect in the screen it some sort of heat building up behind it maybe.....

First Evo I got off of Craigslist had a real bad light spot. I sold that one and got a new one in the store. At first I don't believe that it had a light spot, but now it has a small one that's not too bad. My brother's Evo has it. One co-worker's Evo has it. Another co-worker does not have it.
Like others I assume that it is heat related. All of the Evos have the Nova screen. The one co-worker who does not have a lighter spot is probably the least likely to be using his heavily. 3D gaming while charging the phone is the most likely culprit IMHO as there is heat from charging combined with heat from the CPU and GPU. The phone does cut off charging when things hit 50C, but I think it's too hot at this point.
I can't see HTC or Sprint fixing it unless they start using a LCD panel that can handle the heat or they implement a software fix that throttles the CPU before it gets too hot.
i have 3 spots, two in a row and a larger more pronounced spot lower, like a surprised smiley face mocking me. i'm rooted and love the state my phone is in so there's no way i'm going to ever turn this in.
i also had a similar issue with my iphone 3gs. it is absolutely a manufacturer's defect and your preference as to whether you can deal with it.
Gotta throw this out there...the white spots on my evo only show up when watching porn on the damn thing...lol

Yes. Ew.
I had the white spots twice. It is from heat buildup from the processor. Don't let them tell you it can't be replaced. The first time I had it they gave me a refurbished unit. The second time the same store told me nothing could be done and "it wasn't an issue." That is bull**** because if it isn't an issue then it's a feature and that's a ****ty feature. I took it to another sprint store just a mile farther in another direction and they replaced the screen for free.
I have had two EVOs and I have no idea what you ppl are even talking about - never seen or had any white spots on either one of my screens, and I have 11 friends who have EVOs as well and none of them have said any thing about white spots... guess we are just lucky...

I'm not getting any squeaky, quirky or "cracking" sounds on mine, it's very sturdy and tight. Maybe you got a slightly defect one. If it bothers you then you should obviously return it.

+1 - nothing like this on my a500, had it for nearly two months. Trade it in.
Make sure all corners are snapped firmly in place. Like others have said, just return it and get a replacement if there isn't any obvious fixes to your issue.
no creaks, squeaks or otherwise here, as others have posted, if you still have time, exchange it!
Thanks guys, good enough, I gonna replace it even though there is no gap and looks tight but something is wrong cuz every time I press it cracks like something is not snap tight.

I probably did get that one which you have returned. ;-) The same noises in the upper left corner. Unfortunately that is a big pain in the ass to replace something in Poland. BTW it is 530 USD to buy it here. Anyway is the new one free of that cracking sound??

I have only seen 3-4 people complain about this so it seems to me that it's a very rare build defect, probably just a bad batch of plastic somewhere? Of course, what I have or haven't seen is just anecdotal evidence, but I'd feel returning it and getting another one should have quite good chances of actually getting one of the good samples

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...

I upgraded phone a few days ago because my digitizer issues were becoming increasingly unbearable. Furthermore, I had this whitish ring around the edge of the screen. I'm thinking that the two might be correlated, and so I was wondering if anybody else could provide input.

I was having issues too, any amount of moisture on my fingers would cause my screen to go crazy, send text make calls hang up on calls.. was driving me nuts so I went out and got an HTC one S, as bell doesnt carry the one X, or any top of the line phones... anyway
I didnt like that the text wasnt as sharp on the one S and a few other things so I took it back and got a $20 screen protector put on my atrix at Solo and its been working great since. no white rim or screen peeling issues for far.
What did you upgrade to?
Edit: nm guessing S3 by your sig lol.
Yep, got the s3 and I'm loving it. I had the white rim on my atrix about a month after I purchased it, but never thought much of it. But I'm just perplexed as to how randomly the screen started to deteriorate since June that now I'm in search of a catalyst lol

Well I pick up my Epic a week ago and wanted to just write my opinion on it. So far this is the most amazing phone I've owned. I came from the EVO and I can't believe how much better this is.
The screen while smaller is so much more crisp and vivid. The SAMOLED screen really makes a difference and the 0.3in smaller screen really is no biggie. It is also every bit as responsive.
The device itself is every bit as responsive in every way as well. Processor speeds are both 1ghz but I think I may actually run faster on my epic.
Overall I could not be happier with the device, I only wish I would have got it when it launched instead of the EVO....better late than never though.
Anyone considering this phone should jump at the chance. I give it a 10 out of 10, and with only paying $75 for mine, there is no reason not to grab one up.

Cool, HTC's are so hacker/developer unfriendly, with Samsung you basically flash one thing and you are done. With HTC, you have to do all kinds of BS.
I've actually noticed that. With the EVO I was always flashing something, with this all I have needed to do was flash one CM10 nightly and have been good to go.
Though I think I might look into overclocking at some point just because I like things to go faster than necessary, lol.
Only thing I can gripe about so far though is how hard it was to get odin to recognize the phone. Took 3 usb cables, 2 computers, and a total of 6 different usb ports.

This post takes me back to November 2010... ahhhh, good times!
I love my epic I have had a G2, mt3gs, HD2, and NS4g. Overall the epic has outmatched them all other than the data on the NS4G. I can't live without my physical keyboard it is so much more intuitive than a fake and slow virtual one. I think the "unbrickable" aspect of this device is nuts! With the ability to Odin back to stock or fix your radio is imperative on any device. Not to mention our phone has gone from 2.2, 2.3, 4.0.4 and now 4.1.1! What other phone has had the life of that!??! Who could also forget the plethora of roms that have existed and are yet to come! Our devs and the folks at samsung have outdone themselves!!! Great to have a phone and community that is truly epic!!!!!

@zac - the Epic is slightly more amazing than you realized - we started with android 2.1
Come to think of it, flash capability was the big deal with the 2.2 upgrade, which means that the Epic is one of the few phones that have seen both the birth and death of flash on android during it's life cycle of active development

I have an EVO 3d, which was my kids' before he went and lost the privilege of having a phone.... rooting it sucked. I used it for a couple of weeks before I reactivated my epic. Now I'm thinking of going back to it.... I finally shattered my screen. Practically threw it at the driveway (it was dropping, I tried to grab it and smacked it into the driveway). Corner is shattered, by the search button. Still works, but the glass is starting to come out. Don't have the money for a deductible.... The EVO3d is not a *bad* phone, I just like the way Sammy makes their phones better than the HTC.

I have also noticed that Samsung appears to make a better device. I have accidentally sent this phone flying once (dog got caught on the USB cable) and it did nothing to the phone, had my EVO 3D drop from about hip height once and it knocked one (the bottom) camera out of alignment rendering the 3D camera worthless.
Overall I am just kicking myself for not trying out other brands of smartphones before I jumped into being an HTC fanboy, lol.
Had mine for about 2 weeks now, got a great deal on it traded a Samsung intercept. Though the screen has a crack on top left corner but don't hurt it none. Came from a Motorola triumph and this phone is way better, only thing triumph had was I could over clock it to 1.7 and ran smooth. But doesn't compare to having a cm10 I can use as a daily driver.

I feel the same way. While I wouldn't say I'm a Sammy fanboy, I do look at theirs first. Had the Moment, loved it. Now the Epic. I looked at the EVO, although not very hard. When the GS3 came out, I couldn't wait for my upgrade to come through. Fortunately I've got until February, so I can't rush into a new phone. Now I'm taking time looking at all the phones, and hopefully will make a good choice.... Guess we'll see though. But I'm pretty sure I'll end up with the GS3.

Has anyone here noticed the capacitative buttons aren't as responsive as they used to be after 2+ years? Maybe it's my skinomi protector.. I have two epic 4gs. One for my daily driver and one for messing around. They both have skins on them, but one seems much more responsive on the button presses than the other. Especially the menu button.
