Swyped from my Evo 4G

looks like we have the first report the of kickstand wearing out, damn only been a month too :/

I haven't had this issue. My kickstand is pretty solid and hasn't popped out accidentally once.

hmm, i tried to shake my phone and 'whip' it to try to get the kickstand to fall out.
nothing.
and i fiddle with it...just like i do with the battery covers on remotes etc
i open my kickstand by pushing on one end so the other end pops out.

I think you have to use the version floating around the forums. IT has been a few weeks but there is a thread discussing it and the link to the file works fine.

It just seems lose maybe I should take it to sprint and make them tighten it

Did anyone else notice

that the main cast in the new hawaii five-O all use heros? noticed it watching tonights episode. thought that to be kinda cool that they choose hero and not the fancier phones out there.

if that's true im glad to see it. the hero needs a boost in publicity, the phone is darn near dead anymore.

Are they rooted? Lol

Are they all running Froyo? lmao! I'll watch next week just to see.

Last season's show '24' on FOX also had several of its characters using the Hero. I don't think Jack Bauer himself had one, but many of his other weekly co-stars did.

Yeah I think you're right. It was some kind of flash drive thing that hacked the device and ripped a bunch of encrypted information off it.
One time I remember seeing a shot of somebody using the Hero holding it upside down while 'talking' on it, lol

new hole on bottom of evo

i got my evo on july 3, never even considered putting it in a case because its just so damn sexy it should be naked all the time.... so wednesday i noticed a scratch or maybe a crack on the screen. took the phone in and they replaced the front housing front display and rear display.... now theres a little hole on the bottom of the evo to the left of the microusb port that wasnt there before. What is this? it looks like the little reset button my kaiser and touch pro had, but obviously the evo has no stylus so what gives??

I personally haven't tried, but one of my buddies said after a few days, up to a week of use, it goes back to the way it was.

Sweet! When are you planning on doing it?

Wow! Very nice! The springs seem to not be available right now. I also have a little fear of disassembling my phone.. The last time I did it, it was on a Sony Ericsson k800i, I ended up break the power button off without even knowing it until there was no feel in the power button when I tried to turn it in.

for now it seems to work reeeally good. have beein using that for 6 days now.
(and i open and close it a lot!!)
just try it out.

Well it looks like I'm down for the count

I got my new flex cable today but after installing it and booting the shift there is no display. It does boot. The keyboard lights up and the home menu back and search buttons light up. I can even hear the sound that happens when I change the volume but nothing on the screen. I stripped it down a second time to be sure everything was plugged in right but there's nothing out of place that I can find. :crying: Man I hate this. I have loved being a part of this group.

Funny you should mention that. Last week at like 2am I bid on what I thought was an Evo Shift but it turned out to be an EVO 4G. (I'm such a dufus) It came today and I guess that's my new phone.

Did you still wanna try and make a Frankenstein Shift with my wife's? Although idk if it will help since the display/digitizer is water damaged and crazy as hell... Maybe with some of the parts you can get it working.
