Because I spotted an little dust part under the screen off mine HTC Evo 3D i'm saying goodbye to it and selling it and I already find an buyer, just hope he keeps his promise and transfers the money Tuesday.
I really like the HTC Evo 3D, its an great smartphone and the 3D is an nice extra to have on your phone. Still I'm saying goodbye to it, only because off this issue, it really saddens me.
Its not really visible, so that's an good thing, because saying in an advertisement about the dust part would push the price down even though its an new phone and there by the new owner can also claim the warranty.
There are a few things that also saddens me about the HTC Evo 3D and one off is the plastic back off it, I really need use power to get it off and every time I'm afraid off breaking it.
And it is kind off an heavy phone, but that I took for granted. So where I go from here? I was thinking off buying HTC One X or HTC One S, but I would also like an tablet, only problem with most tablets you can't use an simcard.
And first I though about just going to get an new HTC Evo 3D, but because the new generation devices are coming now I will not do that. The HTC One X costs new € 551.
Another option is an tablet like the iPad, please don't shoot me, I know iOS is a closed system, but their new iPad costs the same as an HTC One S, only problem that's the WiFi version and its a little big to carry in mine pocket.
But it would be great for on the go for like watching movies. Either way I don't really like closed system iOS and its not as adjustable as HTC Sense. So I think HTC One X would be an better choice.

Yeah it just been two weeks. When I got the money I could in fact get an new Evo 3D for € 20 less, but then I need to go to the same store as where I bought the one I got now, that is honestly an faster option then sending the one I have now for warranty.
First I was thinking, sell it and go to that store and buy an new one and hope it doesn't have the dust issue problem, but on internet I read it happens alot with HTC Evo 3D.
Now I'm thinking, sell it and add about € 270 and I can buy an HTC One X, as what for sense would it make to buy an new Evo 3D again as the HTC One X is released soon. Although I could still go and buy an new HTC Evo 3D as its right now € 269 in that same store, I payed € 289 and that is what I sell it for to, I just added the TPU case and spare battery.
Could always order new one off that. I'm just afraid that new one would get dust under the LCD screen to. Or did I just have bad luck with mine HTC Evo 3D? Well what would you guys say? I do like the 3D off HTC Evo 3D and its an great phone.
Should I just buy an new one again and give it an second change and hope that with this one nothing is wrong, that was mine original plan anyway when I came back and decided to sell this one now.
Oh yeah? Yeah.
I think an iPad is a great idea.

I would so laugh if the buyer sends it back because you haven't described the dust problem.

Ok dexter here's a little insight. First the reason there is dust under the screen is because the way they adhere the digitizer to the lcd . It's put together with adhesive on the edge of the lcd to make repair easier and cheaper. The new one x and one s is put togther by using a zero gap technology. Which apple and Samsung and the orignal Sony super lcd was suppose to use. So the new phones HTC is coming out with will not suffer with dust issue (don't quote me) because the whole screen and digitzer is glued together.

Well you know he doesn't have such rights as its an private sale. And like explained in post above the Evo 3D just suffering from that so it belongs to this phone, you have to live with it or send it for warranty.
Its not something I need put in the advertisement. But yeah if I didnt spot it then I would not have though off selling it, but I can not really see it, so the buyer will not see it to and when he does then he can contact HTC for the warranty or life with it.
I know its cruel selling an device because its imperfect, but its still new and if I read online then this dust is like an dead pixel, if its just one then its acceptable.

Is this only an issue with HTC Evo 3D? With mine HTC Desire HD I never had such issues. I'm just afraid if I would buy an new Evo 3D that it will have the same issue. I read stories on internet about people who got about 5 replacements and in end decided to keep the one with most less dust under the screen.
That's shady....just sayin

Of course he has rights, you are selling something as new when it isn't, imagine if YOU were receiving the so called as new phone and noticed the dust, you'd be annoyed wouldn't you? It's people like you who give honest sellers a bad name, I honestly hope the sale doesn't go through to teach you a lesson.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m
The device is in perfect shape, it just got an small little dust under the screen which you don't see unless you have light on it, like with this picture I used flash off mine camera to capture it.
Can I find it now? Well no I can't find any more. So its not something I need put in an advertisement, I put in advertisement, its 2 weeks old and in new state, I didn't put in advertisement its new, no its in new state, so almost new.
If I was selling it as new then it would be shady. New state just means its only used for short while and like new.

No he hasnt have any rights in my country. He buys an device that is in new state and it is in new state, that is got the dust issue, but its just one which you can't really see, because I asked some people today and most off them didnt see it, so its something I kinda got an eye for spotting, but others don't see it, but I do. well its new state, not new.
And you know, one thing I have learned from internet, on internet no one is telling the 100% truth, so why should I mention non issues, I also not mentioned with mine HTC Desire HD that it had an scratch and I mentioned it not for same reason as the dust, because you can't really see.
In advertisement he reacted on I writhed new state. But I understand your reaction. But I'm not scamming, I'm just not putting non issues in the advertisement. Its an issue for me, but I think 1 dust part is acceptable, I would have kept it myself if my eyes weren't like that they keep finding it even though its so hard to spot it.
I see good from close distance but not in far distance, for far distance I use glasses.
You know its even so terrible in mine that if someone scams you and you know who did that you probably will never see you money back, but I'm not scamming anyone, I just sell an phone as new state and new state difference from new.
I'm Dutch so excuse me for translating sometimes words wrong, like I put in title new and probably also put it in other messages in English.
Cool story bro

Good luck with selling your phone if you need tell non issues.
I just choose to make very good pictures and be honest I can not find it right now. So really no reason to tell that if even I can't find right now. But on other hand I would never buy an second hand phone and also not in new state like I'm selling myself, everything I buy is new, so you can see mine exceptions are much higher then the person who wanna buy it from a private who sells its 2 weeks used phone.
They just buy it from an private to save some bucks.
http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7761/dsc05400yx.jpg
But well what you guys think, going to HTC One X from here would be better right? I just kinda wonder did I get unlucky or many HTC Evo 3D have the dust issue? As I still consider it as an great phone and that is also why I'm thinking of buying an new one after I sold the one I have now.
So, basically, you're saying that you're not going to inform the buyer of the issue that is causing you to sell the phone because you're afraid he won't buy it and then criticising people on the internet for not telling the truth about stuff. Seems legit.

You can see it like that. And basically I'm doing it because MediaMarkt doesn't want to give me an new one, they drive me insane, so only solution I could though is get rid off it and buy an new one as it's now € 269 and i'm selling mine for € 295, the buyer said he really wanted it. But on internet I find also some threads that some people with the Evo 3D kept getting Evo 3D's with this issue.
So this is the way I can do it to. I really like this phone, it got an great feature set. And in fact I like the 3D feature set, its something other models, even HTC One X not has.
Great Novel Broham!
So you came in here to explain that you are scamming someone to sell your EVO3D too?.....why post this?....it is pretty clear you are bragging about not being completely truthful about the condition of the device and in turn misleading the buyer!...
All b/c you can't get your way on something so you in turn "screw" someone else....nice logic!
At first I was going to report the thread b/c it gets old hearing about ppl come and just post that they are leaving for another device...but after reading this, it became clear that it would be better if others can see this so they know to completely avoid any and all transactions with you going forward...
Its people that do things like this that make me sick to be honest...grow up bud and handle your own problems, dont shove them off to someone else like you are attempting to do...
What a douche. Hope everything you purchase is defective. Don't understand how you think It's okay, to do what you're doing.

Just what the title says, opinions? I have had the 3d for the weekend pretty much and it is ok, but some things I am finding out about it are lacking. The 3d camera is nice, but what would I really use it for? To me its almost just a, ' Hey look at my cool camera' type gimmick.
What are some of your guys' thoughts on the Epic/Nexus, or how about the Photon, I think the Photon actually looks pretty cool and I would have my kickstand back.
Thoughts? Please be as detailed as possible, would be appreciated.
Thanks
I can't really give any opinion on the Photon as it's not out yet, but the Evo 3D is well ahead of both the Epic and the Nexus S in terms of hardware. I currently have an Evo 4G and owned an Epic for a while before I got fed up with it and gave it to my wife so I could get my Evo back. I suppose it all depends on what you intend to do with your phone, but the current Samsung offerings aren't in the same league as the Evo 3D. It has a higher res screen, a faster clock speed, twice as many cores, and twice as much RAM.
Between Sprint giving me my original Sprint Premier early upgrade back for the EVO 3D launch, and Target giving me $150 trade it, total out of pocket cost to upgrade was just $68 and adding a year to my contract.
It's also a big plus that HTC will OFFICIALLY be permitting root. I know at least one dev (I forget which it was) has a 3D in hand. So, there ought to be lots of non-Sprint options.
So far my only complaint is that the colors on the screen seem faded. Like a cloudy day. Not the end of the world, but I wouldn't have liked a better/brighter screen. (Not the AMOLED one though, those are too saturated. Like looking inside a fish tank.)
I currently have the epic and evo 3d as my daily phones and i can tell you to avoid the epic like the plague....i have had software problems from phone ramdomly exiting applications to slow laggy perfromance on almost everything except gaming. I have had my epic since release and will never purchase a samsung phone again...their hardware is usually incrementally better than the competition but their software implementation leaves much to be desired, which makes superior hardware null at best. The feel of the evo 3d in hand really makes it feel like you are holding something premium in your hand...im sure the sgs2 will follow the same lead with hardware being better, but i have no faith in their ability to deliver on thevsoftware front........i bet the evo 3d will get ice cream sandwich before the sgs2 at least by 6 months.

I pretty much agree with both of these guys. Consider that the 3d has had 3 OTAs to fix "bugs" and it's only been a week. The hold up for Gingerbread to show up on the Evo 4G was more due to the fact that the Nexus S was the only device allowed to have Gingerbread for a certain period of time as per Google. As soon as that time frame was up, HTC and Motorola both had Gingerbread for their flagship phones... The Epic and some other Galaxy S phones are still waiting.
I think HTC and Motorola are sharing the title of "King of the Hill" when it comes to android phones. I personally like HTC's hardware better. They both have provided similar (i.e. good) support to their user community. Motorola's success I attribute to the "Droid" marketing campaign by Verizon, but they have backed that up with action and performance. Will have to see how the Photon pans out, though.

The phone has only been "officially" out for 4 days, not even a week yet. HTC seems to be working hard to keep the bugs to a minimum (of course opening up the bootloader is another thing entirely).

I tend to agree with everyone here for the most part, although the Photon looks pretty sick imo. I do like HTC better but we are not 100% sure that the 3d will be rooted yet are we? I have seen conflicting results. The specs on the Photon seem a bit better than the 3d in some aspects. As far as the other two go I won't get either of those. It would only be between the Photon and this 3d right now.
On a better note I don't understand why people had to pay for their 3d's, makes me feel good. I didn't pay a dime, just gave them my EVO back and dude gave me the 3d. Even got my girl her first smartphone, the LG optimus, decent unit also for absolutely nothing. Guess it helps when the manager at that store wants to keep your business. Not to mention a free screen protector and case.
Lucky I guess.
Very curious about the Photon. Has intrigued my interest.
Thanks for everyone's input.
So I found out what I'm going to do, and the manager actually suggested I do this. Basically I am going to wait for the release date to be announced as far as the photon goes. Hopefully it is within my 30 day trial for my 3d, if it isn't, on the 28th day of my trial I will be taking my 3d in and getting another 3d therefore resetting my 30 day time period, then once I get the photon if I don't like it I will just switch back to the 3d.
So it's looking like a win win here.
Just posted this so that other people can do it if they so choose.

You can only do the exchange once per ugrade... and you can't do it on the same phone. You can get a replacement if there's a problem, but you can't just exchange for one of the same thing. You can return it, but then if you get another 3D, you won't get another 30 day grace-period.
Either they lied to you to get you to shut up and buy the phone, or that manager is an idiot.

Well when he loses his job, feel free to pay his rent for him. You can return the phone for any reason within 30 days, but you can't just keep exchanging. I'm sure that will throw a flag up in Sprint's database real quick.
If you get away with it, all the more power to you... but if you get stuck with a phone that you don't actually want because you're trying to leapfrog a free ticket and your friend ends up jobless... it's your own fault.

I'm not mad about anything, just pointing out that doing something sneaky and underhanded like allowing someone to leapfrog their contract and 30 day return is a good way for someone to lose their job.
Apparently you didn't get what I meant by paying his rent... I guess I have to type things very literally so it doesn't go over people's heads. If he loses his job, he won't have any money. If he doesn't have money, he can't pay rent. If he can't pay rent because he lost his job for you... then it goes back to what I said before.
If it were allowed at all, nobody would ever be locked into a contract, because we'd all just keep leapfrogging our phones around every 30 days to something else, or even the same thing.
Anyway, pick which phone you want, it's all up to personal preference. I got my EVO 3D because it's the EVO's big brother (shouldn't say that, someone might not understand...). Alright, it's the EVO's successor, so it was a logical choice for me because of how well my EVO has treated me. Don't let everyone else decide which phone you should get, you're the one that will be using it.

1: I am an asshole
2: I wouldn't do what you're doing, as I get a phone that I want, I don't need the next best thing every month. I got the 3D as my phone for the next year at least, regardless of the other phones that are around the corner
3: Pick a phone that's good for you, but because you obviously need the biggest ego around, keep trying to hop around to make sure you have the best phone possible. The 3D section of XDA doesn't need you here, good luck on the Nexus S, Epic, or Photon boards...
Hello,
I wan to buy a evo 3d for my birthday.
Can anybody explain me why I have to buy it? And why not? (+/-)
Are games like GTA avaidable and playable? I have a itouch 2g now and im getting sick of the error not avaidable. And a Wildfire, Same problem
Hoe good are the 3D effects? Comes it Out your screen?
Are there 3D games and movies avaidable?
The difference between the evo and the sensation?
Thank you.
Evo 3D is a good phone, a bit heavy and steady, 3D is good and effective but not "impressive" (you have to find yourself at the very right location, unlike a 3D screen with glasses) and the 2D / 3D camera... just sucks : blurry, laggy, a hell of a deception. For that matter, choose another model or brand.
Kochise
when is your birthday and how much are you willing to spend?
the 3d is a great phone but its almost 1 yr old and thats pretty dated in technology world. But up to you, im happy with my phone as it outperforms anything thats comparable in specs. but to each his own
Because it doesnt look like the other phones and its so thick, fat, big and radical
Anyway the Backside is sexy
@ktrotter11
The Evo isnt one year old... 6 months
If you're interested in seeing the 3D effects, no one here can really justify an answer. It's really something you just have to experience yourself, and judge whether you like it or not. Not everyone is able to see it well. I, myself, have no problems with it at all. I could watch an entire movie on it and not get a headache or anything.
My suggestion (not sure how it works where you're from), go to your carrier's store and play around with one. If that's not possible, see if anyone you know has one and play around with it for a few minutes.

I was in same position, asda offer this phone for £250, decide to "upgrade" to evo 3d, what a mistake, I have phone from Saturday morning, already 7 times switch off itself, sorry, but no, thank you very much, already I find thanks to xda and google, this is very common problem with evo's. Mine dhd never once switch off herself, and what a phone. Tomorrow asda will take it back, I will hold to dhd - in april come ics, don't mind wait month longer opposite evo for ICS...
You should look somewhere in a store if you like the 3D. If you want a good camera and dont like the 3D so much, then you could better buy a Sensation or some other phone. For me the extra RAM was a big plus of the Evo 3D, but 1gb is kinda standard on the phones from now. Games like GTA will be playable for sure, but think some older phones might also with some lag moments sometimes.

Sorry but NO, this happening on stock rom, people who decide to root and different roms, end up with much more problems, i find it can be battery problem, but looks more seriously - and problem with motherboard, and for suprise, asda sell evo 3d with come with hboot 1.49 - which mean they sell old stock - or refurbished stock. Done little test - secure battery with piece of paper, like few people advised, take shock and just shake little bit - and phone switch off. battery was secure 100%, that mean - problem with motherboard...

Lol sucks to have problems like that..... Dont know about the motherboard problem. For me the Evo 3D is an awesome phone. I love it, never had strange problems that I couldnt solve.

..........................
The price in my country for the Evo 3d is €350, or in dollars $463.
The Sensation cost € 382,50, and in dollars $507.
Phones like the samsung g S2 cost € 466, $617,61
I hope I can get €200 (total) for my old phone and Ipod, and i get around €100 from my parents.
I maybe sometimes got a bit feeling that its coming out the screen, most of the time you can see depth in the screen.
Lol Sensation is an older phone, if you wont use camera a lot then the Evo is better for sure.
So before I buy the Evo from Asda in the UK. What's the issue with hboot 1.49 based phones? Do they have a mad mobo or something?
If you do little bit research on xda and google, you can find how many people return them, I should done research first, same me time for transfering all data to evo and back to dhd, dhd is THE BEST...

I have a Evo 3D myself but would prefer the Galaxy nexus given a chance:
- If you are into rooting, Evo 3D has (IMO) best choice and variety of ROM's and has one of the most active developer community.
- There are 3D games and movies available and for a first time viewer/player, you would be enthralled. It could cause eye pain if prolonged viewing.
- Has a microSD and thus unlimited storage (Nexus does not)
However, do remember that Evo3D is nearing a year since its release which in cell phone terms means almost nearing end of life.
-- Just my 2 cents!

Any product can have a problem... why didn't you take it back and ask for a replacement? If you got a second one and it did the same.. surely then you would be in a position to complain about it and be a little respected?
I'm sorry you had an issue (I'm not an Evo 3D owner), but this really isn't fair on the product.
Hey guys
I got this phone in August last year. I have bad luck with phones so I want to repair this one instead of getting new one. In the last 2.5 years, this is my 4th phone and I don't like upgrading phone all the time.
Earlier in January, I dropped my phone. Screen worked fine and everything but had a crack. I send for repair. The guy gives it to someone else without my permission to repair it. They repair it and since day 1 the top of screen is unresponsive. I turn screen off and on and then it works. The repair guy won't speak to me any more.
Now it has become permanent. It doesn't bother me as much but I hate it when random keys are being pressed. I think it's because of the pressure built on top?
I then again broke the screen accidently. So now I want to do it myself then get a defective screen and lose more money.
This is my first time changing the screen. To change the screen, do I follow same tutorial as outlined in the the sticky or is there something else? Also I'm confused as to what needs to changed. I don't know if they took something out of my phone and replaced it with something cheap. So do I simply replace the top layer of screen or the LCD? If the LCD, how would 3D work?
Also eBay is filled with screen replacement. If someone can give a link to a cheap deal that will fix my phone, it'd be great! Also the repair guy wrecked the housing of my phone. Is it replaceable?
Last but not least, should I sell the phone once fixed or I can continue to enjoy it? As in, will it break down again later down the road?
Go on amazon.com and buy a digitizer and follow the instructions guide to replace it. I'm not sure if you can buy a new housing or not. Replacing the digitizer should fix your issue. Also, be very careful that you do not tear any ribbons when replacing the digitizer. If you tear one, your phone will be no good.
Also, you could always just warranty it a sprint store. 9 out of 10 times they don't look for the sticker that tells if the phone has been opened or not.

If you can't help the OP then don't post, simple as that.
If you're in canada, look on your local Kijiji site. I've fixed HUNDREDS of iPhone and Android devices simply by advertising on Kijiji.
Look there, find someone who does iPhones and email him. He'll have the tools and expertise to properly repair your phone.
There is a screen replacement guide stickied in this very forum.

Small claims should do it.
Sent From My HTC Evo 3D, On The Now Network From Sprint!
Sorry didn't tell about the phone.
It's from Rogers.
There is a sticker over the screw and when the tool is inserted, it voids it (the sticker goes in).
The guy won't reply to email and I really don't want to deal with another tech. So many just take any mobile when they have no clue and look up google to fix it! They won't even spend enough time to ensure it's ok because they have others to fix. I don't want to explain what happened between me and the tech guy as someone will post another "cool story bro" pic. Wasn't expecting that on this forums...
Anyway I doubt I can order from Amazon and having wasted so much money, I'd really appreciate if someone can link me to eBay for screen and digitizer (assuming it fixes the top of unresponsive screen)
So where did you sent it off for repair in the first place? IMO, you paid for a service, and if that service wasn't completed correctly, you send it back and they do whatever they have to do to make it right.
Don't you have insurance? I'm confused right now.
If you can't help the OP then don't post, simple as that.

I found someone on craigslist who said they will do it
They said it'd be done tomorrow. Takes them 1 week for parts to arrive.
Parts arrive, they go under renovation
2 weeks after, they open it up and say they don't have tools to finish it
1 week later I get it and it's repaired by someone else
Tell them problem, they say ask them since they repaired
The third party says its firmware problem and can't speak English well and ignore me
Few weeks forward
Take iPhone for jailbreak
Pick it up, it doesn't work properly
Bring it back, they refund exact same money on spot
They say it was already a problem and they didn't do anything wrong and can put old firmware back again
They say take it to Apple, they know more
Apple says the phone is finished
I DONT want to spend countless hours going back and forth. I just want to do things my way. The amount of time spent, if I just went to work instead, I'd have gotten a new phone instead.

That was a warning after deleting 5 unnecessary posts.
if i root my phone, the screen issue isn't permanent, is it?
And this is the second time i root, after having permanent screen issue with HTC hero. So I'm a little worried. If it's safe to root without damaging screen, which root would be best? I just want to get rid of some Rogers programs as they're causing my battery drainage very fast. It's like 2% a minute! Also will a reset fix battery issues?
I am going to underclock my CPU to make battery life long.
Took Evo 4G in for repair a while back, the USB port wasn't charging right, but it would if you propped it up the right way. Anyhow sprint gives it back, won't charge at all, then they tell me I cracked the motherboard and I'll have to pay. My word against theirs, I ended up having to shell out 50.

Why are you bumping? There really isn't much you can do, you should have sought a reputable repair shop, not just some guy on craigslist. If the guy isn't going to honor his work, you are pretty much out of luck.
Hello all. Got my Amaze on launch day. Been a great phone but tired of the limitations all the devs face. No AOKP. No CM. Just so many things standing in their way too. I want to move on to another device that has greater support in the dev community. I would include two cases. One is a D30 and the other a clear with white argyle (has yellowed some) and of course the charger. The condition is 10\10 zero wrong with it. White is whitey white. Screen has no scratches/blemishes. NEVER been dropped (knock on wood)What should my asking price be??? Also is anyone interested? Trades would be considered but no promises.
Also I am currently running ICS roms with 4EXT recovery and S-off.
toss a picture up man
I'm away from all other devices with a Camera at the moment
Standing By
If only had I seen this early, just bought a used one, a few scratches on the cover, but I got a new cover to replace it with, just too lazy to s-off it since I already s-offed my old one, lol.
I'd check on Craigslist to get a feel for the current asking price.
It's different prices for different markets. Selling online "can" be a hassle.
I honestly prefer cash in hand unless it's friends.
The cases are a + which means you could ask for a bit more, but someone could just opt to not buy the cases...in which case you'd have to options.
Lower the price and exclude the cases or decline the offer altogether.
I suggest figuring out the lowest you'd take for the phone first. Then figure out what you'd ACTUALLY like to get for it, then ask a bit above it because of the cases.
That way when you lower the price to exclude the cases it's right where you want it to be at.
You get what you want, and they feel like they got a good deal.
Just some suggestions. Hope it helps. Good luck.

Seriously, my fiance's Sensation is so much frikkin better with all the dev support. She benches higher, battery is smaller and lasts longer than mine. The Amaze just hit at a weird time. It has great hardware but not available in many markets and has some goofy drivers that screw the kernal development up.

I don't care if the sensation had nexusone development... That phone isn't even close to what the amaze is...
A cellular device is a tool... If all u use your tool for is to attempt to improve ur tool, then ur tool is junk to begin with lol.
The object of a phone is NOT to have a new rom to flash every day...

Because the EVO 3d is underrated. It does have good specs tho. If you're looking for a good cheap phone, the 3d is for you.
it has the best specs from one year ago, and has 3d video and playback, unlike nearly all phones. Great phone
It's like last year's car model when the new ones come out.
allright, thanks for all the answers, im getting it ^^
I personally wouldn't get it. But that's me. I've had huge stability issues with mine. But for the price it's nice. If your in the US though get the new evo.

If you are constantly watching 3D movies and stuff like me, it's worth it. It's the best android (for my uses) imo. The 3D is way better than going to the movies and its not massive like all the other phones now days. Fits nicely in the pocket. And when you get it, get the Acase Supperlaggera case for it, its only 6 bucks and the best case ihave come across. You won't be disappointed with the phone or that case, take my word

Sensation XE is going for about £250 now around here (Evo3D was £200 here)
Evo 3D and the Sensation are last years tech but still great for the price.
I imagine the sensation XE has WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more development potential due to the lack of 3D making it easier to dev for, but higher CPU, 1.5GHz dual core, and less RAM (and different GPU if i recall)

Please explain your instability issues. I recognize you as a very knowledgeable person. Help us with "what not to do" or is the 3d just overall not great in your opinion.

I've been through 6 of these phones. The one I have now is screwing up aswell. Random bootloops, freezing. Data issues. You name it. I got rid of my OG EVO for this free (good friend who pulled strings) and i wish I could go back. All in all, I would get new LTE if ya can.
Btw stock everything on this phone I have now.

I've just problems with it since day one. Mostly lockups. When I put into my pocket and take it out the screen won't turn on , so I have to remove battery. I get random reboots throughout the day. 50 percent of the time plugging the charger in causes the phone to lock up.
This happens all throughout the day no matter what ROM/firmware/kernel .
Just be wary to anyone who buys as I know I'm not the only one.

Great phone! I've had it since launch day, bezel on both the front and the back (for the camera) have fallen off. The front bezel was actually hanging off, and it was pretty brutally bent from my abuse (thus why I got rid of it) and the 3d switch as well as the camera button are now gone. My only complaint is that wimax sucks, but thats something we deal with here in the US.

Wow all these problems......
Hmmm never had a one.
I was reluctant to go s-off but finally did using wire trick. So far - no problems.
I didn't agree with other methods everyone was using. Changing CID, downgrading bootloader. I had a theory that doing all that would make your phone "UNStable".
Still wonder about all the people that left this phone and alll the ones having stability problems if its something they did in going s-off.
