Should I exchange my white EVO due to plastic defect?

Hi, everyone. I think this is my first post to the forum, been a member for a while. I got the white EVO and battery life suxed, but I got it fixed now after rooting my device and using SetCPU + other tweaks in the forum.
I guess I should have noticed the issue when I saw BB give me a bent box. Anyways, there is a gap that looks like it is starting to grow, but I haven't confirm this. Take a look at what I talking about. The defect is between the black and white plastic pieces.

Yeah it kinda bothers me, has a clicking noise if you squeeze the back, but not always; thought this was normal, lol. Yeah if I run my finger on it it does expand and I can see it moving like a clam with a small mouth. I am just curious if this is going to get bigger or if this is normal. Also, has anyone exchanged a phone for this or similar defects.
Thanks,

Definitely exchange it

Yup, I'd go exchange it, especially since the box was already bent. Though the real issue may be that the Apple device shown in your picture tried to kill your phone while you slept.

I am going to return it tomorrow. How do I un-root it? I did'nt flash it to install custom roms, I just rooted it. Is their a way to un-root it?

shouldn't matter. rooting your phone didn't cause the plastic to separate. I wouldn't even bother honestly.

[Q] Virtuous Fusion MT4G v1.1.8 Causing mytouch 4g to make a noise.

i hear a noise coming from inside the hardware not the software. it sounds like something grinding up in there.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is this damaging my phone?
Should I try to re-install it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

A ROM does not make anything grind. I have been using this ROM for a while with no issues. Second, there shouldnt be any grinding anyway. There are no moving parts inside of a phone. I would get it replaced.

If you have something grinding in your phone, you've got a serious problem. You aren't using a phone, you're using a machine disguised as a phone. Phoned don't have moving parts in them. You better get rid of it

I know its not grinding.
It sounds like something grinding to me but I definitely am hear some noise coming from the hardware. After I first installed Virtuous Fusion everything seemed fine, but after a while it began making that noise so i turned it off and turned it on and it still made that noise. So now i am leaving it off until i have a solution.
If I can not obtain a solution then i will probably go back to royal ginger.

I don't think you're understanding us here. Virtuous Fusion does not cause phones to make a grinding noise. If it did, there would be a lot more people than just you experiencing it. There is a problem with your phone, not the ROM your phone is running. If there's a real hardware problem, you should have no trouble doing a warranty exchange.

Ok I see what you mean.

I think I understand what you guys mean but you see i got the mt4g when it first came out for t mobile back in November 2010. I have used it stock up until a month ago a friend of mine showed me his rooted mt4g running cm7.
So i began using Cm7 for a while than i seen Royal ginger had Netflix app(the only thing i really missed about my iPhone). I installed royal ginger and i like it but sense 3.0 looked really cool so i wanted to try it.
So i never heard a noise on stock, cm7 ,or RG and according to you guys the Rom cant be responsible so perhaps its a coincidence that after a 30 minutes of
Virtuous Fusion there was a hardware malfunction.

Are you sure you didn't have a YouTube video or a game in the background that didn't shut down the audio drivers.
The only moving parts in your phone are the buttons, and trackpad. Which have to be manually used. They will not grind on their own.
I would suggest wiping the phone and reinstalling your ROM to see if the "noise" comes back.

Well technically there has to be a moving part in the phone or it wouldnt vibrate. You dont feel any vibrations do you?

Let me rephrase that. No moving parts with gears. The motor for the vibrations has a weight attached to a shaft extruding from the body of the motor. It contains no gears that would create a grinding noise. And if the motor should go out it wouldn't make any noise.
The only thing that could of happened would be a piece of plastic or some other substance preventing the weight from rotating and he would hear it "bouncing" against the medium.

Update on Noise Issue
Hello everyone. First off, I'd like to thank you all for you help.
I ended up re-installing the ROM and I began using it for a day and I was pleased to not hear any noises from the hardware. But curiosity has got the best of me and I attempted and succeeded in recreating the conditions that caused the noise.
To create the noise I re-download all my apps from, turned on WiFi ,gps , Bluetooth, i change the brightness to all the way up, i change lock screen to photo album, and i changed the wallpaper to weather live wall paper and then it began making the nose again.
I would like to get my hands on on another MT4G to see if its just my device or something they all do. Also I'd like to get my hands on a video camera(I don't own one, I use my phone) to record it making the noise and post it to youtube or something for you guys to hear it.
After listening to it again I must say it sounds less like grinding and more like coffee brewing. Or rather like a mix of both. I don't know its weird.
EDIT: My phone no longer turns on. when a charger the red light comes on but the screen stays blank. I've tried removing and reinserting the battery and I've tried to hold down the volume key while pressing the power button to no avail.

A friend of mine who has the MT4G as well tried it out and it was the animation. Sorry for wasting everyone's time but the sound didn't seem to be coming out of the speakers to me.
I feel so stupid now but to fair my device was acting up when the noise came on. it became really laggy and sometimes unresponsive even after hitting the lockscreen button the noise wouldn't stop but it did with my friends phone. Also my device still won't turn on but I am doing a warranty exchange with t mobile. It must have been a coincidence.

can somebody please tell me what this is or mean...

A friend of mine wanted me to root his Evo for him. After I rooted it, I flashed the Synergy RC1 rom on it. As I was making sure everything was working, I noticed his screen looked a little flakey (see pics). It had like this wisonsin shaped marking on the screen. It's easy to notice on light colored screens. But it's also noticable on dark color screens as well.
I don't know if his screen is going bad or if this is a case of screen tearing or whatever it's called. I never had any of those issues with any of the Evos I ever owned. So therefore, I don't know what to look for.
So nevertheless, can someone please take a look at the pics and let me know if this is a case of th screen going ad, screen tearing or something else. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Where is the liquid trigger/indicators on this phone. I know one is on the battery. And that one isn't pink or anything.

Keep in mind that if you get the screen wet that doesn't necessarily mean that the indicator would change if you don't get any other part of the phone wet.
However, I think it's pretty obvious it's some sort of liquid damage and I doubt Sprint would be willing to replace it.

Or if he feels comfortable taking apart electronic stuff, he could just take the phone apart and clean it. just make sure it is completely dry before putting it back together.

My friends evo had the exact same thing, it was from liquid damage.... His was not in the center of the screen, but it looked identical.... Sprint replaced it under his insurance for I think $50
Sent from my EVO 4G with Tapatalk

Update:
We took the phone to Sprint yesterday and they said that it wasn't liquid damage. They said that it appeared to be a pressure point. Something apparently pressed up to hard against the screen. Nevertheless, because he had insurance, they replaced the screen free of charge.
However in doing so, they apparently broke the speaker in the earpiece and the bluetooth connection. Whenever someone calls the phone, they can hear you, but you can't hear them. They come in in very very low and the sound is distorted and sounds like static.
So he called sprint and we have to bring it back in today. They also added more minutes to his plan for the next 3 months or something like that.

[Q] Screen Issues, Discolorization

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?

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.

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?

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.

Shift touchscreen issue.

I noticed tonight that my touchscreen stops working when I slide the keyboard all the way out. It looks like when you slide it, when it gets about 1/2 way, the lights under the touch keys (home, search, etc) turn off, then 3/4 of the way out, they come back on, but you can't touch anything on the screen. No scrolling, no selecting, nothing. When you start to close it, the lights turn off 3/4 of the way open, then 1/2 the way open they turn on and the touch screen starts working again.
I've been watching videos on how to replace the digitizer and they look easy enough for me to do, but is it really the digitizer if it is working when the phone is closed? This sounds more like a loose cable, eight? Anyone else have this happen?

That does sound more like the flex cable

Sounds like it's most likely the Flex Cable. Which is easy enough to change. They usually don't just come loose. Has been know to happen, but it's rare. You can repair it yourself, you just have to have the proper tools. If you do attempt it, be sure to take your time. You can pick the Flex Cable / Tool Kit up on Ebay, or Amazon fairly cheaply.

That's very true. There is a chance you can damage, or even "Brick" the device if you don't know what your doing. I've changed about about five already. The first one took forever, I was so nervous. But after about the third one it was all good . Same with the digitizers, first one is like Ahhh . After about the 10th one it's not that scary. No I do not damage my phone that often. Just know a lot of people who do. That also do not have TEP Insurance.

Ok, in the immortal words of Eminem, "I'm not afraid." Or wasn't, at least. I took it apart tonight and yep, the flex cable is broken. Taking it apart made it worse and I've lost my earpiece. The good news is the touch screen works while the keyboard is slid out... But it doesn't with it in. lol
I did find some on ebay, but does anyone know of a place that sells the sliding mechanism? Mine is pretty sloppy and I'd like to fix that while I have it open to replace the cable.

Your best bet is going to be a damaged Shift. I don't know of any place that sells just the parts. But I would still hunt around on the net. Maybe check Amazon, or Craigslist.

I mean nobody disrespect I am just as intrigued by taking things apart and just as satisfied with self repair as the next tech guy, but you don't even need to have TEP to get a shift with a broken flex cable replaced. This is a warranty issue. By no fault of yours, the phone is broken. Sprint replaces these without push back, I'm on my 3rd shift. Now that you've opened it though, you may be out of luck.

You can always tell them you took it to a third party store to get looked at.

It was out of warranty. I already tried the warranty route.
Anyway, got the cable today, put it in and the jawbone connector for the LCD is jacked up. It won't go all the way in no matter what you do. So I put the old one back in and now the touch screen is completely gone.
My wife called sprint while I was messing with it cause she wanted to see if there were any repair stores that had parts and they offered me an early upgrade. $105 bucks and I get up to a $150 discount as long as I re-up for 2 years. Since I'm pretty happy with Sprint, this is probably a win-win situation for me to do it, so I did.
Now I just have to decide... Moto Photo, Nexus 4g, or Samsung Galaxy 2. Any opinions?
*edit: I use CM7 on my shift and would like to continue to use CM7, I don't NEED CM9, but the option would be nice.

Ok, didn't want to clutter things up and start a new thread so I'm gonna hijack this one. Hope thats ok.
I've been having troubles with my touch sceen the last few weeks and its very sporadic. So first issue it just simply stops responding all together. Like for instance i go to pull notification bar down and it stops part way down and i cant slide it up or down nor do the home back keys work. I have to hit power button to lock then hit power button and unlock then all is fine for awhile. And to be clear i dont have to power it off, just lock it. Another instance I'll be browsing the web and i go to scroll down it starts acting goofy. As if i got 2 fingers on the sceen trying too pinch to zoom when i clearly dont. Another silly thing happens where it acts like some one is remotely using my phone. For instance I unlock my phone and then it just hitting buttons. It's actually made a phone call for me before. Also happens when browsing or anything else.
I run miui build 112300 with sparks patch. I have ran this rom for a very long time so something tells me it aint the rom. I really dont remember what I've installed lately so don't know if an app would be causing this. Something tells me its a hardware issue but i was hoping to get some suggestions before flash something new or worse running the ruu to stock. Also, i dont think it would be the flex cable because it happens mostly without the keyboard out. Plus i rarely use my keyboard, although I'm using it right now.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Something tells me its a hardware issue but i was hoping to get some suggestions before flash something new or worse running the ruu to stock. Also, i dont think it would be the flex cable because it happens mostly without the keyboard out. Plus i rarely use my keyboard, although I'm using it right now. If not, time to take it to Sprint.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The first thing you can try is the latest Radio and Touchscreen Firmware HERE. If that does not work and the screen is still acting strange I would RUU back to Stock Unrooted. See if that resolves the issue. If not it's time to take it back to Sprint.

OK, thanks for the suggestions. Just flashed the new firmware. Like I said it was very sporadic so time will tell. Hopefully this works cause it's been a long time since I rooted my phone and I'd hate to unroot it.
