Anyone gotten one of the new evos from sprint.com that they just got in stock this week?
My 3 replacements showed up today, but they're at the billing address. I called at 5PM MST yesterday and they were there at 10am this morning - talk about UPS fast.
Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone else had gotten one yet and if it was hardware 0004. I guess I'll find out tomorrow afternoon when I go pick them up and report back on here about the differences since we have 3 0002 with light leakage and mine with the speaker kazoo effect. Haha.
Please keep us updated on if this is a different hardware version or not. I'll be replacing my 003 come Monday because of light leakage around three outer edges (but mostly because of a scratch and i want a shiny new one now that my screen protector is in haha).
Mine is only 4 days old and it says hardware version 0003. Was on waiting list and they got in 15 on Wed
0003
I ordered 2 evo's from Sprint.com as soon as they got back in stock on Tues 6/29 about 4pm pst, Got them on Thur (7/1) They a Hardware version 0003.
They were better,any light leakage?

Google "Olestra" , I'd bet that's why.
So far as 004's, I have a Novatek 002 with very slight light leakage but my buddy at da Shack has a brand new one coming in for me...If it's an 004 I'll grab it, if it's an 002 I'm pretty sure I'll take it...but if it's an 003 who knows what screen it has, though I'm sure he'll let me check it first.
But for some reason I have very high hopes for 004's, if they ever get produced.
I just got a replacement Evo cause I pricked mine its version 3, flat black battery cover, battery with a gold or silver strip(don't remember which it is) and no light leakage so far. But my battery blows!!!!!! Terribly!!!!!! Worse than with the solid red battery. Idk what to do about the battery I've tried all the tricks nothing seems to work

got mine a couple of days ago
hardware 003
rooted and flashed fresh 0.53
no problem so far (battery life is reasonable considering i m using live wallpaper and slide show photo frame)
I'll keep you all posted later today when I get the 3 new ones. I'll compaire them with the old ones, too and probably take pics of any differences.
Does anyone know what I can keep from the old ones? I'd really like to keep the chargers, battery covers and batteries if I can get away with it. They'll be going back to sprint.com, so I'm not sure what their pollocy is.
Also, how should I back up the current phones? They're all rooted, so I just need to back up the apps and settings. I know I've read that all the settings are saved on your google account, but is every single setting in the settings menu really saved, or just your email, facebook, ect. accounts saved?

Google just backs up contacts emails, calendar, that sort of stuff. Titanium backup should do the trick with apps and settings. I'm not sure if a nandroid backup would work, or I would suggest that. But I think the nandroid backup will only work on the device that was used to make the backup. Correct me if I'm wrong.. Haven't tried this yet.
Ordered on teusday night by phone thru sprint, and got my it the next day no shipping no acctivation fee. Its an 0003 with the epson screen. Man this phone rocks!!! Iphone can kiss my customizable butt
Small update: Just unboxed the 3 replacement phones. Non of them have the screen popping up problem and it almost seems as if they are sunk down a little bit more than my first one. All 3 have the new epson screen, which I don't think looks quite as good, but it's more of a true black, not a purpley black.
They're all 0003. Also, if you look under your battery, the number in the bottom right is something something - something XA, my first evo (0002) just said A there.
And all 3 have the new battery with the silver foil around them with sharper corners.
For now, that's all I can see that's different. I'll update more later.

Just checked. One of the old ones and one of the new ones both say 2.1-update1 and since the old one didn't receive the OTA, I'm guessing the new ones don't have the OTA installed.

They will include a bubble pouch that you will have to ship back that includes only the phone. They instruct you to rem move the battery.

Great! So I get to keep the 3 extra battery covers, batteries, chargers, ect.? If so, that evens out the problem with them giving me the run around trying to get these replacements.
So it seems that all (if not most) of the new Evo is HW003 with Epson screens?

Yes, I would say all. The 3 that I just unboxed all had a little bit different tent to them, but nothing like the 0002hw screens.
Not really I got mine yesterday with a Build date of June 16 and its Novatec.
I just took delivery of my SGS2 yesterday, and I gotta say I absolutely love this phone. Coming from an LG eXpo with WinMo 6.5 and never having used Android, it doesn't even feel like a phone. Plus with all the easy integration with my Google accounts, I've never had a smoother transition to a new device before. All this makes it all the more difficult for me to have to send it back...
I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem, but it looks like my phone came pre-packaged with burn in or something in the form of a dark circle near the upper right side of my screen. I've attached some photos of what it looks like.
I noticed this abnormality in the first 10 minutes or so of using the phone while looking at some photos on my Picasa account. I almost feel like this phone could have been a refurb unit, or the screen was reused or something. In fact, there appears to be more substantial burn in than I can photograph, as there are several other places where I can see strange distortions. Most, if not all, only show up when the brightness is less than 100%. I'd thought maybe it was some widget that caused the burn in, but I haven't been able to figure out which one it could be.
Anywho, I've already arranged an RMA thru Expansys-USA, and they did so without even asking any questions after my email with photos of the problem. So far I've received amazing support from Expansys-USA and definitely recommend them. Also going to see if I can request a replacement sent before I send back this one so I won't be without a phone during the shipping time, something they mention is possible in the RMA email (though they do charge you for it, to be refunded once they get the defective unit back and inspect it).
Would be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem. If there's already another post on this subject, sorry about this new one... didn't see any when I searched tho.
I can see the same thing on mine if I put it on the lowest brightness setting and display a grey image. Nowhere near as pronounced as on yours though, have to really really look for it, so can't be arsed to do anything about it.
Interesting that it's a perfect circle though, could it be just above the CPU or something?
Nope, haven't got that circle on mine at all.
Maybe an assembly worker lost their wedding ring, lol...
You'll be fine, it's an RMA for sure!
Defo a faulty phone
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I believe that mark is from the vacuum suction cup on the assembly line from the automated machine that handles positioning the display component. It technically should disappear over time, but I don't know how long.
I don't think it's the CPU, though to be honest I'm not sure where it is under the screen. There is that odd gold-colored sensor or whatever under that area, I think.
If it's a wedding ring, maybe this phone's worth more than the sticker price! haha
Vacuum cup huh... that's pretty bad if it's damaging the screen while doing that. I don't want to wait and see if it will disappear. If I do wait and it doesn't go away I'll be out $725 on a phone with a screen that'll constantly bug me.
Kinda funny, as I was looking at the photos I attached, I saw two rings... one in the photo, and the real one. Startled me when I first saw it.
I didnt have the same problem as you but i had line banding or something on my one.. i had to replace it 4 times then noticed it overheated+smell coming from it.. so i just returned it and got my money back.
Just be aware that you might get another faulty phone.. If i was you i would wait till it comes out in the US.
That sucks, and it's not good that other people are having some issues as well. Good to hear that Expansys is honoring their agreements though
This is why I don't import anymore

Could well be spot on. I don't know if I'm imagining this, but I'm having more and more trouble seeing this ring on my display heh (had the phone for 9 days now).

Man, that's really unlucky! Knock on wood, I hope I don't get another bad one. However I'm not sure waiting will do me much good. History has shown me that branded devices tend to have a lot of crap on them and lack certain features at times, and I don't have as much time as I used to to keep up with the scene to make the phone operate better all the time. Also, I'm contract-free with unlimited data on AT&T, and I don't like being locked into contracts. This isn't my first non-US phone, though. I'm happy to pay the extra money so long as it means I don't have to sign a contract.

From the Expansys-USA thread, sounds like they'll ship the phone back to the UK to have it serviced for you if it ever goes bad. This doesn't sound uncommon, either, as I've had a friend here ship his JP Xbox 360 back to Japan to have it serviced (with a another friend's JP address), and another friend in Japan had his laptop sent back here to have it serviced. Also, there's always the chance a non-import one will be bad, too. Luck of the draw, I guess, and perhaps early-adopter woes. lol
Got my replacement on Saturday, been playing with it ever since to see if I could find any further problems. Definitely no circle this time around, and some of the vertical banding I saw on my old phone in the notification screen is gone, but now has some very slight horizontal banding. Not a deal-breaker tho, so this one's staying with me. Also, hard to tell but I think the yellow/dark left screen problem is present, but so slight I can barely detect it if it's there and not a trick of the eye.
Gotta thank Expansys-USA for their great customer service. I'll definitely order from them again.

I would have it exchanged for another if you can. I had mine exchanged, but since I went with the cheap option the whole ordeal took almost a month (slow shipping). My replacement doesn't have a defect, but it's possible I have the yellow tint problem others have been reporting. I don't see it tho, and if it's there it doesn't bother me.

Got my SGSII yesterday only to realize that there is a circle on the downleft of screen. It's very annoying. Went to Telenor today but they had no phones left. Only thing to do now is wait 4 weeks for a new one.
Any idé on what this is? Have you checked your own ones?
imgur.com/a/pLZC5#3guAm
More people have this. I don't know if it went away with anyone? Some say it should go away and the production process causing it.
I see you also have the 1/3 yellowish/darker screen. I am wondering if there is someone who doesn't have this.
Sorry didn't want you to focuss on it, guess you didn't saw yet. but a lot have this(if not everybody).

Haha now when you say it. I was so blind cause of that circle that I didn't notice the yellow/dark thing! Haha!
Do you have a link to any other source that say that they have gotten rid of the circle thing? I searched alot before posting but couldn't find anythin.

wow almost looks like you kept your phone in your pocket with some coin for too long
dial *#0*# to see the menu for individual color display, or use some app like Dead Pixel Detect , to do more tests.
lol it's funny
Dont have any problems with my screen. Tried setting higher and lower brightness on different background and saw nothing. Are display problems really that common?

I took some more pictures on different backgrounds and it seems like it is only visible on grey. Ar almost.
Only thing to do is send it in?
this phone has so many faults.
all you can do is send it back and get another one... and hope that there isnt something wrong with that.
Am I lucky? My one has no problem. Did you do special things? Or the circle point was pressed? I am worry about possible problem on my sgs2.

Didn't do anything. Opened it, charged it and booted it. Tested it out and rolled down statusbar, noticed directly and all my happyness for my new phone dissappeared.
I guess its the kind of person who owns the phone..
I myself am almost a perfectionist.. well.. atleast when i buy new things.. why would i want a new product with some minor/ major problems on it?
hardware problems.. not software.. since software can be fixed.
I had the circle on mine, top right of the screen. Made a thread about it last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078058
Noticed it shortly after taking delivery of the box when I was viewing some photos. It's not visible on pixels where full brightness is used (no matter if it's R, G, or B), but on anything between black and full white it's visible. Sent mine back yesterday for replacement, but I was told by an Expansys-USA rep that they won't have any in stock till the 30th.
Supposedly it's from the suction cup used on the assembly line and that it's technically supposed to go away over time. Expansys only gives a small window of time for returns, and my circle wasn't showing signs of disappearing. Might wanna have yours swapped out, too.
Thanks, was looking for someone else having this problem.
I live in Sweden and ordered from operator Telenor.
They only have a 7 day DOA, so I called them and because all phones were out both in physical store and on the web, they was going to send me a servicebox that I will pack everything and then send it. Hopefully I will get a new one in a few weeks. They say that it can take up to a month though.
Hey there,
I got the exact same thing, but on the right side of the display. I got this thing just yesterday, I live in Germany.
I really do not want to send it back, especially since it seems display problems are pretty common with this phone and there is no guarantee I'll get another one without it.
Anyone knows if this might go away? I have 4 weeks until I have to send it back.
No idea if it will go away, but if you've got 4 weeks, maybe you can see if it does fade over time? I had a really short period of time to report any problems with the phone to Expansys (48 hours), so I couldn't wait.
Man... 4 weeks..! That seems like such a luxurious amount of time to check for problems with the phone.
I can't see anything like this on my phone...
How can I see/make it:-??
Guys,
I ordered a N7000 a few days ago. I noticed today that the N7000 dropped by $25 (from $700 to $675) and another version the GT-N7000 is also being sold for $15 more. What is the difference between these two as I Googled but cant find anything definitive? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Hmmm, i would also want to know...
---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------
Edit: On Samsung's site it says GT-N7000, so i just think that some people only call it the N7000.

I was wondering if maybe it was a slightly different model. IN the end the code names are close enough I guess.
I think they're one and the same, the only difference is they omitted the "GT" part.
I ordered the "N7000" from Amazon, on the actual product it states "GT-N7000"
It might be regional thing but its the same, my box has GT-N7000.. I believe this is just a coding for samsung like the SGH-I9100 and on some parts its GT-I9100
Bump..
Does anyone know the difference? It's April 2012, and they still have price differences. I ordered 3 so far, and all of them had the screen tinting issue. (Screen tint changes from green to red from time to time when I'm perfectly holding it still.)
I don't know if I should take my chances and try the more expensive GT-N7000 labeled ones. I think all of the ones I ordered so far was marked as N7000.

that's just bad luck. the only thing common should be the pink tint when taking pictures on 100% pure white backgrounds.
NO difference there are one device. They just omitted the GT. Its GT-N7000. "GT" is a family in Samsung's phone's lineup.
Now, why there is a price difference that I wouldn't know. Maybe one is open box or refurbished or something,,,,,

Both are sold as new on Amazon (fullfilled by Amazon), but I never seen one completely sealed.
I don't know if I should try it one more time from a different seller in Amazon, but same fullfilled by amazon. Returns are easy, but I just hate that I'm spending so much time on finding the one without screen issues. I don't notice it during the day so I finish setting up everything, and then before I go to bed, that's when I find out the screen tints changing in the dark even with all automatic brightness and color stuff disabled.

As for the tint changing try UNchecking this box:

Yes, I have seen several new Note with screen issues (first batch with free flip cover). The good thing is, if you get the screen replaced at Samsung Service Center, the replacement has better quality.

Hello guys!
The fingerprint scanner on my Graphite Nexus 6P is another color than the rest of the body? For me it seems to be greener than the body.
Is it the same for you?
Anyone?

Did you checked the photos I provided? Are you sure this is normal? I did not see this on my first model
Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

so, ppl are telling you it's normal, but you're still asking ppl to tell you it's normal?

its normal. you also have to consider they are different materials which will affect the color a little. I have aluminum and its the same. scanner and bottom are different shades. nothing to worry about

I might be a little OCD ambout my phone. The reason i am a little worried is because I do not remember my first unit having this. But on the first one I had a bad pinkish display....on this one the display is good...but i noticed today the different colors.

Looks normal. What exactly is your concern? Does everything function as it should?

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P
