Ok I got my replacement hero today. Sprint overnight shipped it (impressed). After I activated it I immediately rooted and flashed my favorite rom. Phone is running great until I notice that the screen has a dingy yellow tint to it! I called sprint and had them document the issue. I am now going to return to stock 1.5 and walk my butt into the Sprint store and ask for another replacement. Anyone else have this issue?

Well I took my phone to sprint, they also noticed the yellow tint. They replaced it on the spot. So now I have my third hero everythings great until 3 hours what do I see? DUST UNDER THE SCREEN! You can never win I guess. I suppose I will give it a few weeks then call sprint and demand a different phone (evo)

Most people i know don't use the phrase "bust a nut" to mean QUITE what you seem to. In fact, in my state, if you walked in to the sprint store and "busted a nut" all over the place, they would take you to jail (as opposed to giving you a new phone). They may even make you purchase any phones that receive...um....collateral damage?....from your nut-busting.
WOAH WOAH WOAH! I did NOT revive this corpse! I just commented on it's attire. The poster above me brought this one back from the dead.

Take a different approach. Be nice but firm. You are unhappy obviously. But I have found with sprint or anyone else for that matter is that if you are rude they will treat you the same way you are treating them. Customer service is not what it used to be.

Alright so today I called Verizon and told them that my new Droid X has been randomly rebooting, I called the main support line at 18009220204. I told them that I looked online and that the only way to fix this issue was getting a new phone. The guy immediately told me that he was sending my out a new phone. While he was putting my order in, he told me that they have been having problems with several devices. Rooting does not cause your device to reboot. He said that the env touch had it so bad that it would reboot almost every 30 min.
You should not have to fight for this. Just call that number and tell them that your phone has been rebooting and you want a new phone, Make sure to tell them not a Refurbished one.... you bought it new you should get it new...
i had this problem a couple weeks ago and the rep said i was the first to report that problem, guess its starting to spread all over now... even my friend is reporting this problem. the sad part of all this, i work as a vz retail agent, not a dx in sight.
The Guy I spoke to said its been happening on about 5 to 6 devices over two years and they have no clue what it is so all they can do is send out a new phone and you send yours back...

Refurb or brand new??
I am on the phone right now and they are having double finding a NEW phone for me. But I told them that I don't want a return since I have only had the phone for more than two weeks.

So Verizon wanted me to give them a credit card and pay them for another phone until they got mine back. WTF. I told them where they could stuff it. Then magically they said they would just zero out the price and send me the phone. Then the tech said he would call me back in 15 minutes. Which he never dis. I had to call back and go through it all over again. Well in the end, I was told that I would be sent just the phone with no battery or battery cover. Was told it would not be a return over and over but it sounds like a return to me. I guess I will have to wait and see. What does everyone think?

I just got one too, and it is rebooting like MOFO.... gonna hop on the phone again and make ANOTHER call........
I called yesterday, and they "walked" me through a factory reset. It was tough not telling the lady I've done it a hundred times on my original droid lol. A reset and a freeze today and I called again, and now they're sending me another one. It is definitely a NEW device, as I'm within my 30 day window (seems like I should get a new one regardless, since I bought a new one, but oh well I'm good anyways). The tech guy also told me froyo was already rolling out, though only to 10 or 20 thousand at a time. I thought he was confusing this with the droid 1, so I checked, but the guy has a droid x and was sure. Said he checks his multiple times daily. This is far from concrete or official, but interesting nonetheless.

so if they take your phone and dont give you a battery or back or sd card do you have to buy them or do you keep yours before you send it in? because im having trouble with mine rebooting.
My phone, sadly, reboots too and I'm getting a battery replacement.
Just curious, when you get a replacement, do they ask for the old one back or not? Do they give you something to sent it in?
My original phone was rebooting, so I had them ship me a new one. They charged me for the new phone and said they would zero it when I sent back the other. Shipping took like 5 days, and the phone I got was in the box with charger, battery, sd card, power cable etc. This phone had a worse problem -- blown speaker. So I got them to send me ANOTHER (wasn't so easy when they saw I already got a replacement, and they hadn't even received my original phone in the mail yet). But I finally convinced them, and this time, they didn't charge me for it, but only made me sign something saying that if they didn't get my first two phones in the mail, I would have to pay for all 3. This time, I talked them into sending it to me on a Friday night, and by monday morning I received it. This one was different though in that it was just the phone (no battery, battery cover, cord, sd card, etc). As far as I could tell, it was BRAND NEW, not refurbished.
Leads me to think that when they restocked, they started sending just the phone as replacements. I don't think it means they're refurbished.
I wouldn't accept that. I don't want some one going into my box and taking crap out. I would tell them that you want a brand new never been opened box. Still taped up

I called in and had my phone checked. They DID send me a reconditioned one.
When I pointed out that I paid for a new phone, this is what they told me (after refusing to send me a new phone):
"Well when you paid for a new phone thats what you got, but what you needed replaced was your then used phone. So to replace your used phone, we sent you a used one..."
What can I do, any tips? I mean, this phone has no problems, but still, I feel like I got jipped. I paid for a new phone and got a BROKEN one, even if it was new. I feel that they should give me a new phone, but apparently they don't think so. I don't want to walk around with this phone thinking how someone might have dropped it and then returned it, and now I have it.
i would try and get it swapped out...or it coud be a battery issue
reconditioned
can anyone tell me whats wrong with a reconditioned phone if it works? i mean when something happens thats what you get.
Oops
i had my phone shut off and just turned it back on and i have this huge white out spot on my lcd near where the keyboard pops up. you can plainly see it on a white background. i know it didn't get wet because it is in a body glove case.
anyways i pulled the back cover off and there is no water damage sticker on the phone at all, just on the battery. and it doesn't show it got wet at all. are new phones shipping without them because i may have to take this back for an exchange and i don't want to be accused of getting it wet.
also what is the latest 2.2 version these phone ship with, so i can run the RUU if need be.
It's a screen defunct. I have it on my phone as well, probably almost the same exact spot. You can try and get them to replace the phone for you, doesn't really bother me too much so I didn't bother trying to get a new one.

i hate dealing with sprint, took me alot to get my evo, if they give me **** ill just sell the darn thing as is or replace the lcd myself. maybe i just wont say a word and return it and get an epic instead. i know how sprint corporate stores can be.

With a ton of stores this is a your mile may vary. I have taken my phones into 2 different stores with no problems.
Not suggested unless you want to pay those $100 deductible. Unroot its not that hard.
No, but if its rooted, they won't service your phone, or make you pay the 100$ fee.

I took mine in for a screen replacement while running CM6. It was off when I took it in and on when I picked it up, so you know they saw the boot animation.
In my expierience (I work at a Sprint store) the techs don't care unless you are a jerk then they'll just use it as a reason not to help you. Hell, I've helped people myself who were trying to root their phones.

Well its a pain for me to unroot cause i updated my h boot to the latest and i cant flash any thing to the orignal stock rom cause its outdated everything i have tried hangs at the hboot screen lol i have turned S back on still using amon on it. I hope my sprint store isnt gonna be a pain in the butt if i have to get it reparied.
I had my screen replaced when they were doing it. No questions asked. It is just a chance ur taking. It just depends on the tech. If its a younger guy usually he won't care these old bastards are the jerk-offs usually.

I straight up asked them on the phone. And as long as you have purchased insurance, it doesn't matter one way or the other cause you are paying for the insurance. As long as it isnt a software issue like a borked sms then you should be fine. It only voids warranty not your insurance.
I have no insurance and have brought three of them up there with problems. The biggest issue I had was some tard rep asking about the superuser app lol. It's almost like the actual techs have a respectful understanding of those with the higher knowledge of Android. I did flash a Sprint lovers stock Rom though and this was at a big corporate store.
Just flash a stock rom, it worked for me. I wouldn't unroot. Hope that helps.
I have numerous times. I have, however, befriended the best tech in the store. Seriously, the last time I took my Evo in, I was having trouble with missed calls. He went above and beyond to help me try to figure out whether it was my Evo, or the tower near my house. He finally said, "Let's just swap out your phone and see if it gets better." He actually asked me which hardware rev I wanted. He also hung onto my Launch Day Evo, which I hated to give up, until I was sure the refurbed 003 was doing better. Good thing, as I had missed backing up my SMS. I went back in and got a back up of them off my old phone. I think I was running Fresh 3.5.0.1 when I took mine in. I rooted the refurb and put CM6 on it. The assistant manager showed me his Evo running Miui. I stop in now and then and show them what's new on my phone. All in all, they're a cool bunch of guys.
I forgot to say that I offered to unroot it, but he told me not to worry.
***** blacklisted my phone saying it was physically damaged. Was going to go in and get them to fix it, as they can see it had no physical damage, but then couple of weeks ago i dropped it for real, has a scratch on the corner. I bet if i try now, they wont do ****
this blows.
of all the crap going on in life right now, the one thing I could count on was my Evo. music, games, and kindle for the commute now that i take the train to my internship.
a couple of days ago I noticed the phone wasn't charging. if i just plugged in the power cord it wouldn't charge, but if i pulled it down, so that it would be at an angle, it would charge. but of course i couldn't keep it that way all night.
opened up the phone and found that the charging plug thing was coming off on at least three of the four big solder points. we just recently fixed my LCD tv with a cheap soldering kit so i figured we'd solder those points and it would work. no difference.
tried it twice and put the phone back together twice, it would turn on and finish loading but wouldnt charge.
opened it again, took out the one screw holding the pcb board to the screen, and looked around to see if there was anything that could be done from that side. i don't think my dad did anything there. i've checked since and nothing got even a scratch. put it back together.
this time the phone vibrates when i turn it on, but the screen never comes on.
opened it again, the charging plug had completely fallen off. the solder does not stick at all.
at this point, i don't care. i can buy a battery charger, and I can remove the memory card to transfer files. i'm happy with my rom so i could live not being able to directly hook up the phone and change system files.
but no screen?!!
so at this moment, for the first time since September, my Evo is out of commission and I can't do anything about it.
anyone know what may have happened here? any solutions? i'm willing to try any suggestions since i can't use the phone at the moment and I need it back.
thanks.
You likely could have had it fixed under HTC's warranty. But once they see it's been opened I believe the warranty is instantly void. You could take it in to the store and see if they will warranty it out and charge you the $35 advanced exchange fee.
Pretty much what he said lol. If you already opened the phone you have voided your warranty so sprint won't want to fix it neither will HTC. Your only two options are fix it yourself with parts off ebay. Second one is run it over with the car pay 100 to Asurion if you have TEP and they will send you a refurb and you send your old one back to them other then that you kinda screwed the pooch when you opend your phone up.
Hope you get it worked out.
i have agree since you cracked it open you screwed yourself :/
the phone hasn't had a valid warranty since last year...so I didn't mess it up.
my question here is what could have messed up the phone. not what messed up the warranty!
you can pick up and evo for between $150-200 on craigslist. just sell your broken one for parts, you would be shocked how many people would buy it.

nah the phone has taken quite a lot of use and abuse since I got it. i'm sad that it got messed up but in no way am I unsatisfied with it.
I did find some on craigslist already. now to wait until I can pay for one!
EDIT: the battery was at 70%. the phone does turn on. not the screen :-(
welcome to the club. That's why I stopped buying htc. They make cheap under performing phones that are guaranteed to fail early. I love my samsung epic.
really? this is my second HTC phone. first was 8125 and I loved it so much I lost it and bought a second one. now the Evo breaks after all this (ab)use and i'm planning on buying a second one or an Evo 3D if i can afford it when it comes out.
so, i'm pretty happy with HTC products.

Well you just go enjoy your Sam****, and we'll suffer with crappy HTC phones....
Trust me your not suffering,the dude with the epic is...my big brother has it and he doesnt really like it lol. He is jumping the HTC ship,he is buying evo 3D. Samsung never responds,never update,the dev support is no where near evo support (IMO) but if I was you try to fix it or buy nexus S or evo 3D

Dev Support isn't as good???????
Maybe not on here, but this site leans more towards HTC.
The Epic Sections of SDX-Devopers is FAT with Dev support.
+1. This is my 3rd HTC phone. All worked well for me.

the phone hasn't had a valid warranty since last year...so I didn't mess it up.
my question here is what could have messed up the phone. not what messed up the warranty!

Did you break a connection from the screen to the board ( I'm not good with hardware) there should be a connection try to find it and see if it's broken
