What a broken EVO

This is the worst screen I've ever seen.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-EVO-4G-brok...Cell_Phones&hash=item2c5c66c490#ht_500wt_1156

That's not even an Evo, the camera is in the wrong place on the back and there's a touchpad circle thingy on the front at the bottom.

That's an HTC Incredible

Wow, pretty bad. I'm not sure if I would even bid on it, as i looks like it was run over.

I never even looked at the other pic, or I would have caught that lmao.
Still, that's one helluva broken screen.

Say do any one know why when I'm on a stock Rom I have both 1x and 3g icons but when I flash a custom Rom I only get 1x why is that

Dear rugedraw,
thank you-
BUYERS PLEASE TAKE NOTE- IT'S BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS AN "INCREDIBLE" MODEL, NOT AN EVO.

Dear moochl,
FYI: This is not an Evo. It's an Incredible.

The funny thing is, he didn't even update the listing. He didn't make the answer public. Either way, with under 5 minutes left in the auction and 18 bids on it already, someone's gonna be pissed! lol

The only ROM I've even seen that shows 1x is MetroDroid for Evos on MetroPCS. I've never seen my phone go to 1x......maybe I'm lucky to have great 3G coverage.

Yes I stay I corpus christi Texas where we have excellent 3gcoverage and 4g as well it only does this on custom rons but when I do stock tons the 3g shows up

I'm pretty sure Sense roms don't show "1X". Only AOSP roms. So, chances are you go to 1X sometimes but you just don't know it.

@Spencer88 lol and @ Miami yeah the one x just stays up there like it is the 3g I dont know I'm just gonna go. Back to stock and see will it still be there

You could buff those scratches out easily lol

Why even buy something like that. It looks like it was run over by a truck.
Though it would make a great paper weight or conversation piece.

Maybe for someone to take parts out of? IDK how one would fix another EVO with this, but it might be fun to take apart.

Take parts out? Looks like if you shake it parts will fall out LOL

Sorry bub, I love my Samsung Epic. I am running it with Gingerbread. You know what the best thing is some dude is working on port HTC Sense to the Samsung Epic. Dude you are screwed. Try posting an ad on craigslist too, if you have not already done this. You might find some sucker who has the Samsung Epic with Enclair. You can probably tell them that your phone is better because it has a better operating system or some crap that that. Good luck they say a sucker is born every minute.
P.S. Maybe this person might possibly sell you his Epic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086880

I think you should try BestBuy, they're giving out Epics for FREE w/ new contract/upgrade. Buying an unactivated used one can cost quite a bit still. Might as wel grab yourself a new one.

If you go to a local repair shop they ll fix it for around 50

I have a dead mt4g with a bad eemc (confirmed) that is out of warranty, due to my self repair of the digitizer twice. I've replaced the phone already.
The back cover is clean, the chrome is a little worn, and the LCD and digitizer are good. All buttons are good. The eemc died Monday after a mass cleanup on the phone and the phone won't turn on, and when on USB, asks for a QHSUSB_DLOAD.
I'm asking all in one, as I don't really want to rip the phone apart again. Email in my profile.

Replacing camera hardware

Does anybody know how I would go about opening my phone and replacing the camera? My hardware camera part is broken (as far as I can tell, neither the camera or flash work any more in any rom or app) but I have more than one person offer to help me out (jgross something and my dev friend) and let me take the camera out of their test or spare device. problem is, I have no idea how to open the phone without breaking something, or taking the camera out. and I definitely have no idea how to connect it unless it is like a computer type deal.
plus side is, I have access to lots of different tools between my dad, friends and work, and I repair and take apart computers all the time so I have experience with small connectors like for internal parts of net books and whatever.
tl;dr if you know how to take apart a fascinate and replace a camera, or can link to somewhere that I can learn, you rock

I actually wrecked my car (totalled it, not my fault) last Monday morning, my phone apparently hit the dashboard hard enough to kinda fix the camera. It works for long enough to take a couple of pictures then messes up.
Anyways, I received a replacement camera, but am pretty busy dealing with insurance claims and stuff right now, I will make sure to document and post an update if I ever get around to doing it.

Anyone want a epic w/o a working screen?

Alright well I had these opening on the side of my epic form dropping it so much and one day I had it in the bathroom while the shower was running and I think the steam killed the screen. it slowly "Faded to black" literally it took like two days lol. It's been two weeks and Im finally calling it quits and getting a new one. Im considering sending it out if anyone wants to play with it, if you fix it I may be able to buy it from you at a reasonable price. But my main question is, does anyone want it?

stop!
Just wannna make sure you know how assurion works:
1. report a phone as broken
-required to send in device
-100 dollar deductible
2. report devices as lost
-phone blacklisted from all further sprint services, bad esn
-100 dollar deductible
3. report device as stolen
-require police report
-100 dollar deductible
-black listed esn.

I have a screen laying around. I'll totally grab it from you and fix it. PM me if your serious buddy.
