Well I am taking back my white evo for the 2nd time now for the screen lifting and the back cover not really fitting right. They are going to let me go through all of them and find a solid one... think I will be getting the black one cuz all the white one have been built ****ty... my question is what hardware version should I get... they have a 0001 but I don't know if that is the old ****ty display? What version is easier to root...0001 0002 0003 0004? What is the deference between the 4...
Thanks

ive never even heard of a 0001, might be a pre release developer version
0004 will probably come with a 2.02 hboot which may cause some problems and you cant use some custom rom cameras
i have a 0003 evo and ive never had a single problem with it, 0002's are also pretty stable
Well I guess I'm not 100% its a 0001. I was told and read somewhere that on the box there was a 001,002,003,or a 004. But now after looking at my box it has a 003 but phone says hardware version 0004.

i would say best overall would be 003, 0002 aint bad either, 0004 bad for rooting, 0001 if it exists, idk, anyway i have a novatek i believe

Patience my friends. They don't roll it out to everyone at the same time because if they did it would clog up the servers and then no one would get it. They push it out to a certain amount of devices at a time. Yours will come. Just give it time.
So I just got my evo last week and I noticed the screen lifting up above the bevel and I can see the backlight from the soft keys. I read about this on the net and apparently they fixed the issue with the new evos. Does any body else have this issue???
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
sux, dont it...
got it bad on my hardware 0002 refurb...
I believe mine is one of the newer ones (got it as a refurbished replacement a month ago.) The screen actually sits slightly below the bevel on mine. It feels kind of awkward at first but I guess it is good to have as it would help protect the screen in some instances. How old is your evo? Just new, or is it refurb?

Mine is a 004 I'm taking this ****er back this weekend for a new one. I'm still in my 30 day limit ill take it back and exchange it everyday for a week if I have to. There's no excuse for this. Now that I did some research its really starting to bother me. There should be a higher standard to be achieved when it comes to smart phones. Especially flagship devices
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Hmm I say return it asap. Sometimes products that aren't top notch do make it out in market, that's usually just something getting past quality control. I didn't have any problems with my other evo until the USB plug came unmounted from the motherboard. This was probably because I was using a Nokia USB cord that latched on to the port a little too well. Have you had any other problems with it?

Yep, if you just got it, definitely take it back. The problem will only get worse. My launch day evo had the same problem, and after 3 weeks, the screen came completely apart from the phone. Took it into the store in 2 pieces to have it replaced.
I talked to a techie from Sprint last night and they said they have never heard of this issue before. Jack asses. How does everybody using xda know more about these phones than an official technical support member??

It's a light leakage problem that Sprint has NEVER admitted. You can go with a link on the issue to their repair department.
Here it is acknowledged on Engadget:

[email protected]
That is the email for the CEO. Last time I emailed them the first week I had the Evo from launch about battery issues, I was CALLED the next day. Albeit from his assistant but that's pretty impressive. Try it. They might flag your account to get it replaced.

I have a 0003 and had no problems with mine at all. It's about 6 months old. It works well with all the sense 2.0 roms as well. hope this helps.
I just looked at mine and noticed the leaking light. The screen isnt coming up, yet (knock on wood). Mine is a 0003 and I have a stuck pixel (2 weeks old) I was worried about returning it because I didnt want a 0004. I heard 0004 was not as good, who knows! lol
Just to clarify a few things for some people.
I had a 0002 release date Evo. I didn't have any screen separation while some other people did. Some were bad. Like complete separation of the screen from the body itself. You could pull the screen off. That was obviously a defect. In dark environments I had "light leakage" from the bottom like in the Engadget picture. Not noticeable in the light.
I got my phone replaced for free cause I hosed my RSA keys. Now I am on 0003. It didn't have any heat spots on the screen and it didn't have any screen separation.
The differences was a brighter screen and a lower volume speaker (guess they got tired of blown speakers). As for the differences between the 0002 and 0003 for flashing purposes, there wasn't much. The differences are between 0002/0003 and 0004 due to the camera among other things.
OK so I been a evo owner since it came our and like it a lot I do not use my ffc a lot so don't really care, but I probably get the evo 3d and sell this one, but my sister has a shift 4G aand wants to get rid of it so I was wondering if I should exchanged it because it came out later and if I sell it i probably get more money in summer, what you guys think? Right or wrong choice?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Honestly, though it may be newer, you may get the same price because the shift is newer, but less slightly lower specs than the evo.

Well you can ask around, that'd be your best bet.
they should yield the same resale price. im getting offers on my evo 4g for $250. im trying to decide between the shift or a new evo. only since i dont like sammy devices(no nexus) and really dont want to suffer with the evo 3d(hate 3d anyway) and its tiny 1730mah battery...AAHHHHHH really hate the cell phone game.
I originally had the Shift. I couldn't deal with the keyboard. Switched it out in under 24 hours.
Still undecided? Mm no idea if I should or no shift development don't look too good

I played with the shift for awhile..it made me appreciate my evolution. Didn't realize how much the small keyboard/screen killed the experience. Btw, thought the Epic keyboard was great (size/comfort) but it's a flawed device.

My roommate has a Shift, and while its snappy, as the roxx said, its a step down, in my opinion. Smaller screen, no ffc, no HDMI (we have full mirroring now...),no kickstand. I guess if you don't mind those things, and like a physical keyboard, the shift is nice. Also, as you noted, shift development has been a lot slower than the Evo. Aamikam is over there though. Also, when I rooted his Shift a couple months back, or whenever it was, there wasn't even a solid recovery, just a 1/2 working hacked version. Although I think clockwork works on it now. No amon RA though. But yea, its slower in the dev department over there, but not dead, by any means.

Best screen I've ever seen (I've owned a galaxy s and iphone 4), probably the best battery on any android phone currently out, feels perfect, amazing camera (new and bigger sensor), and must faster/smoother than the dinc 1.
I'm very happy I purchased it and don't regret it one bit. It's an awesome phone for those who don't live in a 4g area. I honestly believe it's the best non 4g phone currently out, and I've owned a ton of phones.
Only thing I don't like is there is a TON of bloat apps
awesome..
thank you!
will report back later on today with my findings.
Pretty sure sense 3.0 requires dual core...
I have no idea why anyone would go from a Inc1 to an Inc2 with some of the phones that are about to hit the market.
I'm just gonna be patient
Though it is tempting.

Let's be clear: The Incredible 2 is NOT dual core and is NOT LTE. It does have a bigger screen.
