Dropped my EVO, screen broke, bought a new one. Old one still works, not activated so couldn't test calling features, but still functions fine. If anybody would like me to test anything for them, I'd be willing to do so. I'm laid off with a lot of time on my hands, so whatever, let me know.

Why not replace the screen for about $100 and sell it?

But if you do decide to keep it, you'd be doing the dev community a big favor with an "expendable" evo

My exact intentions bro. Wanna keep the phone for the sake of development, and testing. Anything to make my evo and anyone elses better. Since I don't know how to develop, figured I could contribute this way.
here is something I would like to see..
turn off all radios and auto updates.. anything that makes the evo work when nothing is happening.
charge it to full..
and let it sit till it dies.
how long does it really last?
That will be cool
You must be Balling if you laid off and bought a new EVO full price after ypi broke your new one, wow

Aside of going into airplane mode, everything is turned off, including mobile network.. So far... 18+ hours, battery symbol drained one notch. Usage: 50% Cell Standby, 50% phone idle.
i am assuming it's unrooted. you will for sure get more than 1d 19h. (my previous test result) but i actually used it during the entire weekend for texting +calling

cant wait to hear the full outcome...
whoops
My daughter plugged the phone in, so it reset the battery time. But last I checked it was this morning, 5 days and a few hours battery time with about 25% remaining. Unbelievable... I'm gonna give it a shot again. I'll keep you posted.
I thought I'd share some hopefully helpful information with you guys after having to have 2 swap outs of my Nexus S after getting it on launch day.
I had done an awful lot of reading prior to getting my Nexus to make sure I was pretty clued up about any potential launch bugs which seem to plague a number of handsets these days.
The first thing I noticed with my first phone was the unusually fast battery drain and long charge times, I could hardly go through daylight hours without my phone needing charge (Battery indicator showing orange or red). The following night I left the phone with 55% charge and went to sleep. When I woke up the phone was off, strange I thought; turns out it had eaten the rest of the battery over night.
The final straw came when I reset the phone to default settings (thinking it was a rogue app causing the drain) and it still ate the battery within a day. At this point I knew something was up, especially as reviewers were commenting that the battery seemed considerably better than a lot of other Android handsets.
I decided to take it back to Best Buy to get a swap out, long story short the sales rep. tested the battery and told me that it was defective. He then said he would swap out just the handset and battery with another unit, great I thought!
My relief was soon disturbed when I realised something wasn't right with the screen on my new handset. Not only was the screen a pee yellow colour (compared with the cool temperature of the original) there was also significant banding within the grey area of the the pull down notification tray. These problems had also been mentioned on the Engadget review and even if they hadn't I'm pretty sure I still would have noticed it straight away regardless.
After another trip back to Best Buy and a reluctant second swap out on their part, I have what seems like a fully working handset with a good battery and decent AMOLED panel.
I don't know what's happening with Samsung's QC or whether they have large tolerances for their panels, but I would have thought that they would have been able to iron a lot of this out having already launched the Galaxy S series.
A slightly long post but I hope this at least saves some of you the hassle I've been through to get a decent handset. This isn't the first time it's happened either, I had problems with my launch day iPhone 4 with the mic not working.
One thing's for sure, I'm going to be far more vigilant when buying my next handset.
also test ur buttons because they can be loose and the back button sometimes has problems
nothing new for samsung QA
Unfortunately, having come from the epic, this seems par for the course for sammy..I'd high hopes Google would counter this, but I guess not. My first and only ns is wonderful, though I ordered online and it seems the majority of complaints are coming from those that ordered at the store..coincidence?

I had to return an iPhone 4 a few months ago because the screen was literally fused on crooked to the display. They all have their negatives and bad batches.

Sadly, Google != Apple, they don't produce their own hardware. Depending on Samsung, with their known ****ty QA is a risk I'm sure they weighed.
I ordered my NS online and have none off theses issues! Actually my battery life is AWESOME. 16 hours straight between charging. I love it!

HHmm, If a few are defective, then they ALL must be. Quick, we must warn the others!
I'm not following you? I was implying that all phones have bad batches. No need to get butt hurt if that offended you?

3G supported band
Guys,
Some thing out of the topic, but i need to ask is that is there any sort of 3G band limitation in US version of NS? My friend in Canada told me that currently all devices are coming only with AWS support for 3G which is supported by limited number of Cellular Operators.
Any ideas?

Having the same battery problem, please help
I am also having the same battery problem. It seems like the battery drains 1% per minute. I need to keep it charging all the time or it will drain in about 90 minutes. And it takes 8-9 hours to charge it to 100%.
Problem is I can't just take it back to Best Buy since I live overseas and a friend brought it to me from the US. So now what do I do?
1. Is it the battery or the phone? If it is the battery then I can just replace the battery, but I can't find anywhere online to buy the same battery? Any ideas?
2. If it is the phone, is there anything I can do w/o having to send it back to the USA?
Thanks so much for your help!

As of now, the nexus s i definitely eating up more battery than my n1. but i usually give it a week before i can say fore sure. are there extended batteries out for the NS?
Thanks but this seller won't ship outside the USA. I found a bunch of similar ones on eBay, but they are all 1440 milliamps and not 1500 milliamps.
Not sure if the one on Amazon is 1440 or 1500.

"surfing facebook or safari" safari is for apple only, you sure you didn't buy an iPhone? lol also no a ROM won't fix your phone getting hot. send it back.

How hot is it getting? This phone has the Snapdragon 810 chip which is very well known for becoming pretty warm.
Mine was also very hot the first day I had it. But after I got all the updates, set it up with my apps and charged it again(from 0%) it's great!

Give it a couple days and a few charge cycles. once the phone and kernel settle is when you'll know how the phone it truly running. Also, letting a battery die IS BAD for the battery NOT helpful. It's NEVER good to let a battery reach zero, regardless if its the first charge or not. That was the way you did it with an old Ni-Cad batteries to create a memory. These batteries are Lithium-Ion, they never create a memory. It's better to charge it around 15-20% and overall best to charge at around 50% fir longer battery life (more charge cycles).

Yeah it will get warm playing games and a bit of Yahoo video streaming of will get warm. Mine never seems to get more then 94°f or so
Like others have said, it's the chip plus the fact the entire thing is made of metal.
I am in desperate need of help, I've only had this phone for like a week and I really like it but the battery life is abysmal. I'm getting less than an hour of screen on time, the phone is using about 10% per hour when in my pocket.
I've done the factory reset, deleting everything, downloaded greenify and absolutely no progress has been made.
Phone Idle and Android OS is sucking up about 20% of my battery. For the first couple of days I was getting about 2 hours of SOT and that's the best I've gotten so far. I just bought this thing and I really want to keep it but I can't afford to have this thing dying on me when it's just in my pocket don't nothing. Please ANY help would be appreciated, thank you!

Seems to me you may have a flawed device? 2 hours sot at best with a new device and new battery is horrendous, I have the T-Mobile variant as well, was refurbished and I'm getting a solid 15 hours with anywhere from 3.5-5 hours sot! Depending on usage so I believe you may have a defective V20 friend. I'm going to keep an eye on this thread see if anything comes up

You could try getting an extended battery for it. It worked for mine. I recommend the Zerolemon 10,000mah extended battery. You can find it on Amazon.

That would mask the problem, not fix it. He would then probably get 2 hours of screen on time when he should be getting 6-7 with an extended battery.

Yeah every once in a while I get "Invalid Battery" and it shuts down and I have to leave the battery out for 10 minutes or else it will do the same thing. It's happened 3 times in the past week.

Is the battery new, is your phone refurbished, water damaged battery? Old battery in New phone? Something is up with your battery it sounds like. Would be the easiest thing to replace and test. It could be the phone itself having a hard time receiving the charge (faulty pins)

The phone was new for sure, but the battery was already installed in the phone when I opened the box. Is that normal? I watched a couple unboxing videos and they had the battery separate.
My cellphone suddenly turns off when taking pictures / recording videos. this happened two days ago and now it's getting worse, this cellphone is turning on and off more and more
And always have to plug in the charger
but when in recovery mode it never happened
When I searched for a solution on google,Everyone said that it was a hardware problem
Thanks to all who answered my questions
It is possible that the capacity of the battery has decreased. We do not know how you charge it and how often.
Taking photos/videos is energy intensive and revealed the weakness of the battery. Let's hope this is the only problem, because of course, another electronic component may have broken down.

yes sir, it has to be. the phone was made in 2019 and these batteries have to be at least 4 years old by now. I am sure replacing the battery will fix your issue. It's one hell of a headache to have a phone that turns itself off.
Try to call someone or better use other phone and call ur rn7. I bet it restart when ringing.
When its on charger it dont restart ?
I bet its battery.
