Hey guys, I got paint peeling off at the bottom left corner under the menu key. I'm gonna buy a new faceplate but am worried that this might happen again. Just wondering what could be causing this? It recently got bigger today and expanded to under the home key.
Thanks.
Imo, i would look into warranty replacement.

First I've heard of this problem. Def get it replaced. Did you spill something close by it, maybe a drip or splash of something that would cause it to peel?? Just throwing the out there. Either way I'd get it replaced.

I wish I could, however I bought it off someone online with no receipt. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Even without a receipt you can warranty replace it. AT&T can see when the phone was purchased by the IMEI. I had a BlackBerry Torch that my buddy gave me and it messed up, I called them, and boom replacement BlackBerry. In fact that's the phone that I sold in order to get this one

^^^^exactly what he said. Considering the phone is still under manufacturer warranty as well.... You could always have them replace it.

read...................they give you a refurb or new one, not guaranteed to be 0002 or 0003, take your chances or replace the whole front, i got a few of them
thanks
thank you for the quick reply i think i am going to chance it and send it in rather than me destroy something
I'm not forcing you to me but it is literally impossible to screw something up, its no relying, nothing, just straight up screwing 6 screws swap front part if phone with new one, and screw back, its really easy tbh

They don't just give you a new one or refurbished one. If all he has is a broken digitizer and LCD they can replace that. They usually carry 003 and older parts in stock. If the damage is beyond repair then they might give him a refurb but not without verifying that the phone is repairable.

Would this work on the evos selling cheap on eBay due to cracked screens or water damage...? Obviously not for the ones that are being sold with bad ESN's
Sent from my froyo using the xda app
Maybe. Not sure about the water damaged ones. But I would suggest buying it keeping on the account for a while then taking it to get repaired. You don't want to raise suspicion and then have sprint cut the repair policy.

Thanks for this post. My screen broke yesterday. I was running upstairs to my apartment with the phone in my hands and I tripped and had to brace myself with my hands. I didn't even know the phone was broken till a few minutes later when my gf saw it.
I'm so glad Sprint will fix it for $35 I thought I was going to have to wait a month at least to save up @$100 and buy a replacement screen. At $35 I'll have it fixed next paycheck or maybe the next one cause of xmas.

Aww man who needs Christmas you need the evo. Just kidding. Keep in mind if you have the sprint insurance plan then you can replace the broken screen for free.

So I had my phone in my pocket and it shifted sideways and as soon as I went to step up off the ground I heard a crack and the screen must have flexed and broke
My question is:
All of my pictures seemed to have saved internally on my phone...would someone mind posting the steps in Calks recovery to enter USB mode...I think this is the only option I have.
Really bummed I loved this phone... thanks tho guys!

Use Myphoneexplorer from the market. It works like a charm. Install it from the web and install it on your computer. I'm actually in the same boat.
For the phone:

Good luck. I get my new phone on Tuesday

I think the most I'd want to spend is 150. The reason I just got a new phone was because much more than that I just didn't see the point in fixing it right now...let me know what you think of that
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I cracked my screen in the top right corner so I am looking to replace the screen. I was wondering if anybody was looking to sell one or a knew of a place where I could buy something of quality other than ebay. If there is a good price, I would also be interested in buying white housing.
I just had the same issue....it'll run you anywhere from 200-250 for a new piece, unless you find a good deal on eBay. I wound up using my TEP and had sprint send me a new phone, it was much cheaper to do.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Damn. Definitely not what I was hoping to hear. Nonetheless thank you for letting me know whats up. Could I probably get the screeen fixed at a sprint repair center that way I would get it back in like a day? Right now the performance of the phone is not hindered in any way so it is not a big deal really.
When I brought mine in they said they don't fix screen cracks. But give it a shot, maybe they were being lazy at my store - worst they say is no.

sprint ESRP covers 1-2 cracks less than an inch in length. anything more than that, you would need to use the ERP portion of the TEP.
that being said, usually if we have the part, and its a guaranteed fix, we have no issues replacing the part. if we dont have the part, we arent going to order the phone as that would ding back on us.
*by we, i mean the location i work at.
doesnt hurt to make friends with the technicians at your local sprint store and see what they can do.
I have a white LCD for sale if you're interested. lmk.

I cracked my screen in multiple places and I found a link somewhere here for one on eBay. It was some $80, and it took me about 10 mins to replace. I'm very happy with it, the only problem I have is that it has a weird orangeish tinge when I turn the brightness to the lowest setting. But since the most of times I just keep the brightness at 50+, it doesn't bother me at all. So yeah, look on eBay.
I have plenty white screens for sale for $50
They are in flawless working order. Ask around, I have lots of happy customers.

I have a question regarding the ESRP policy with a cracked screen. If it's cracked, it's cracked, why does it matter how many cracks or how long the crack is?
About the white screens....
What all needs to changed to go from black to white?

During my daily walk last week, I was obviously sweating so badly that while talking it ended up getting sweat down thru the headphone jack. The bootanimation sounds, keypad tones for emergency dialer also. A faint purple tint can be seen while screen is in the "on" position but no graphics whatsoever. Is this the digitizer? If so, any other parts I should expect to go bad along with it? How complex is the swap out?
The moisture is just a theory based on the timing that the screen decided to stop working.
thanks in advance
It's not the digitizer buy I know what you mean, try pressing and sorta move the screen so it can come back, or replace the LCD, this phone is easy to take apart trust me

Just try all of the above on the wife. In the end it might work out better. Lol. Sorry. I've seen digitizers with LCD on eBay like $10 with free shipping. Honestly if you're replacing one you're right there on the other one.

Hi, so I dropped my One X on the road and before I noticed it, I stepped on it.. It's the first time my phone is damaged after more than a year of using it. Aside from having scars all over it's white body, nothing much happened to the camera, audio, etc.
The bit that I cannot live with is a small burn line that appears yellow and red/pinkish on the center right edge on the screen, it appears more on white backgrounds i.e. browsers, etc.. It's really annoying, I have no warranty nor insurance, and I have no clue on what it actually is.
Can anyone give me a clue on what exactly is it, how to fix it, and how much would it cost? Thanks.

here you are man there is even the back cover if u want
One X replacement
I think the colouration is due to permanent pressure applied on that part of the screen. Perhaps when you stepped on it you caused some internal component to shift and apply pressure on the screen from inside. I suggest getting a replacement back cover (pretty cheap), open the device, unscrew the motherboard and rescrew see if the pressure point is relieved. Then go ahead and replace the cover and theres a good chance all will be back to normal.
There's a ton of disassembly videos on YouTube. It's pretty easy - I just did it for the first time this week to swap a damaged battery.
