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??

word of thought: if everything still functions, there's nothing to worry. after all, worrying too much and making every little thing matter often leads to breaking your devices. leave it as it is if it's not causing trouble.

That button summons the android. Final fantasy style

I thought that button is the last step after turning your phone into airplane via Airplane mode. I'll try now and let you know.
Edit: Tried it, and... left wing came out, and then I heard scream and green juice flew out of phone... guess it was too much for the little Android inside...

Lmao awesome I heard if you rip the screen from the gamepad, you summon they father of Androids.

Sad, sad day today........

Sadly i had to say goodbye to a very dear friend today...... my Shift decided to take a dump on me, the friggin power button decided it was going to stop working and now she is powered off with no way to turn her back on...... Since its time for an upgrade im going to be going in the route of the Nexus as i can get it online for 29.99..... Im gonna miss the old shift but im not even gonna risk it getting one because i know itll be 2.3.3 and unrootable. Met some good guys in here and im sure ill still be seeing you guys around. If anyone wants, i have a shift that is rooted and currently running Cyclonic rom but will not power on because of the broken power button i will let it go very cheap, i also have a brand new otterbox still in the box ill sell for 20ishbucks shipped. im gonna miss the ol shifty

Short the solder pads with a tiny tiny wad of aluminum foil, Done this before on other devices. if the pads lifted, use sewing needles and just pierce the traces and touch the 2 needles

Exactly what I did when my HTC Vogue had a broken power button.

Yea I was able to turn it on using a piece of solder to short the contacts out, then used button remapper to make my volume down key my power key. As long as I restore the remapper app with data everytime I flash ill be set unless I need to do a battery pull, then its back to shortin the contact!

Forgive the silly question, but keeping the capacitive buttons offers us more real estate, correct? The GNex can get away with having on-screen buttons since the screen itself is like 4.7", not 4" like the Epic...
Beyond the aesthetic value, is there something I'm missing related to the capacitive buttons?

I think it'll just come down to preference. Some people just like the idea of the on-screen buttons, even if it takes up some space.

This whole concept of a phone being sexy is foreign to me. I'm not judging either way, just not sure how I could think of my phone as Sexy... Maybe if I gave it a name?

i only get bugged about is my damn "FAT BATTERY" they say stupid things like " OMG like your phone is too huge" or "that's ugly as hell" whats funny as hell when i don't have my charger by my side 24/7 because i can along time with having to recharge it.

Lol well if the sgs 3'sbattery is the same as the epic 2 and ours then ill prolly be swiping one of those 2100 mah or the extended ones that will come i can see up to 4000 mah if the battery as big as ours will start off at 2100 mah

I can see this to get the task switcher button. Holding the home button only works 50/50 for me as it will think I let up and just pushed it rather than hold it. May be worth losing the screen real-estate to improve multi-tasking.

It really isnt that much heres what you do set ur default screen density to 320 like the gnex then reboot clear the market data press accept then change the screen density to 200 so that it feels a little higher res this will make up for the loss in real estate.

Wow, the video is really bad. I don't even know what to say. I appreciate you confirming the button less function, but the video is mostly of a wood table and like a phone sometimes gets in the way of the the table. LOL

Would be nice to have reversible plugs. The only thing I envy about the new iPhone.

A new magnetic micro usb would be even better. I love the way my plantronics headset just jumps on to the charger.

I somewhere read that s4 will have wireless recharging. Is it true?
I mean, it's not that wireless electron flow isn't possible (please correct me if I am wrong). We can transfer current wirelessly (i read somewhere, i think in digit magzine that it had something to do with same oscillation frequency or something).
What do you guys think?

Here's the tip of the day.
Press home button. Screen comes on that provides a source of light. look for the arrow on the micro usb end of the charger. Insert charger.

And if battery is 0%?
Well...
Simple answer is - WHY STRUGGLE WHEN SCIENTISTS DEVELOPED TUBE LIGHTS AND BULBS? Just switch on any one of them and get enough light to carefully explore the lead!
It's not that we are going to some dark mountain to recharge phone where there are no lights, we are in our own home.

It's quite easy actuall i switch of the lights my pc and everything else. And use my phones screen as a guide and insert it and bingo. Not bad ayy, I think, you know what i won't even say it this thread is just plain dumb..

From having a iPad mini I find it much harder to plug the charger in then the S3 when in the dark. Mainly cos the port is so small and the speaker is around it so its hard to feel it lol just my 2 cents...

Get one of the older asymmetrical micro usb cords like GS2 had -- you can plug in by feel in dark. I don't know why they changed it -- dumb.
