Before everyone tries the hair dryer / clamp method (which seems like a working solution), how about just screwing down the torx screws inside the Evo? This simple step completely solved my light leakage - zero now. I used a T5 driver and now the screen is held super snug to the frame. You can find Torx screw sets for about online: Amazon.com: SE 6 Piece Delux Torx Driver Kit w/Storage Case T5-T10: Automotive.

Okay, the light leakage is coming from the LED lights behind the 4 touch buttons on the bottom of the phone, correct? Perhaps someone could write an app for rooted phone (I'm guessing it would have to be rooted) and it would simply turn the LEDs off. I know I don't need lights behind the buttons to know which ones are which in the dark. We have 3 EVOs, mine has the half blown speaker and the other two, which got barely any usage this last week both have the screen problems. So all 3 are going back to Sprint for replacements I guess.
View 25 Replies View RelatedHas anyone tried returning their evo to a sprint store due to light leakage?I noticed it last night for the first time and you can see that the bottom part of the screen is raised about the bezel while the top screen is recessed.I had to exchange my wifes EVO because it went all haywire on us and even though it went haywire with the rep, it wasnt any fun at the sprint store so i'm worried about how hard its going to be to exchange mine for this problem.Are Sprint employees aware of the situation for the most part?

View 40 Replies View RelatedI see so many "issues" here, and not enough praise for this phone. Am I the only one with a perfectly fine phone? The only "issue" I can see myself having is I have slight light leakage on my phone, but I don't even notice it because of the case. I've used it a few times without the case, and it didn't even bother me that much. That is the only hardware "issue" i seem to have. Everything else is perfect.
I am using CM6, and have had nothing but love and praise for Froyo.
Love my EVO, and so glad I made the switch (permanently) to Android. (ex iPhone user)
I have some light leakage from the ports on the bottom of the phone. It only happens when the capacitive buttons are lit. The screen seems solid, not separating from case. Will this eventually lead to dust under the screen or not an issue to worry about?

It has to be very dark and you have to look closely and tilth phone upward. It doesn't bug me but i just wanted to share with you guys.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been loving my new X and have experienced zero issues with it until tonight. I noticed that there's light leakage around the volume buttons, where the top and bottom components connect. As I trace around the edges, everywhere seems to fine except at that one connection point. Now I'm really concerned that my phone has a physical defect and may need to be exchanged. Has anyone else noticed this? Should I be concerned and get an exchange? I'm really bummed that my phone may have a problem.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've had a HTC Evo now for 2/3 weeks, and I love it! But over the last few days it's started to act funny....
What it's doing is lets say I unlock the phone and have it laying on my desk, in the past it would show the screen in portrait orientation....but over the lat 2/3 days its been jumping to landscape and I have to pick up the phone, tilt it to get it back to portrait, and if I lay it back down it will go back to landscape.
This is mainly annoying when checking emails/texts/etc, but also if I am on the train and holding it near my waste, depending on the angle it will bounce back and forth from portrait to landscape!
I originally did a reformat when I bought it, and I am going to do it again shortly to see if that helps....just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if it's fixable (and yes i do want auto rotation)....
My phone has a few other problems such as minor light leakage, and a dead pixel (which I was going to look past and keep the phone)...so if this is something wrong with the hardware it would be a pretty good reason to get a replacement within my 30 days....
This is kinda hard to explain but whenever I plug in headphones into my droid if they move a certain way it screws up and stops playing. It goes in and out too if I turn the jack while its plugged in. I tried several headphones that I know have no problem with them. Has anyone else had this problem? Also if you still don't get what im trying to say let me know.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAs all of you probably know by now, there are problems with some if not most of all of the Evo's screens and responsiveness and whatever. my question is, and i honestly apologize for sounding like a 'noob' but how do i check for the screen leakage and separation issues, and actually any other hardware issue that's been discussed? Thanks for all the input!! i honestly appreciate because if i do in-fact have this problem, i'm just gonna go back to t-mobile and get the samsung galaxy s in july, but i still give evo higher priority
View 6 Replies View RelatedHave any of you guys noticed memory leakage with the Captivate? I have been toying a bit with Advanced Task Killer. I notice that when the phone is fresh off a reboot, it has somewhere in the neighboorhood 140-145mb or free memory, but after 10-12 hours of the phone being on it down to the 60s. At this point the UI lag is much more prevalent.I don't mind rebooting the phone once or twice a day, but I was wondering if there are any other alternatives

I disconnected the battery and the phone and allowed them to sit in bags of rice for a few days to draw out the mositure. I turned the phone back on and found the camera is no longer so the water must of wicked in through there, but what is troubling me is the orange charge light comes on as well as a red indicator light on the other side.
View 2 Replies View RelatedCan anyone help explain what this does? I did a small search around the internet, and it came up with just about nothing.My first question is: I turned mobile data off, and yet, during the night, I was charged for data, so something leaked.Personally, I thought if this was because of this particular function. But maybe it was something else.So, I turned it off, but around the forums for other androids people seem to think that syncing doesn't work as well with this disabled.Does anybody know what might have happened? And could this function have been the thing that caused the leak.The leak, was actually for only 50 KB or so, but because I'm on Page Plus, it caused me to go under the required balance to refill of $29.95 and caused my plan to lapse. It's important for me for this not to happen again. Can anyone give any tips?

I've tried taking multiple pictures in different lighting situations and I'm having the same problem. I could have sworn that both LEDs lit up before. I've never kept the LED Light app on for an extended amount of time so I don't believe I've caused it to burn out.

Standard Disclosure: I'm not responsible in any way for the way this performs or functions on your device. If you brick your phone using or flashing this ROM, I will not be held responsible. Also, this is a beta ROM because I haven't been able to test it on more than just my device.
Make sure you do a Nandroid Backup and Wipe data and Dalvik-cache before flashing.
This ROM is based off of drellisdee's Lite ROM. 100% credit goes towards my fellow HTC Incredible user for not only this ROM, but also the first custom recovery and foolproof root method for the LG Ally. Special thanks to him and everyone else that has been a part of the Ally development.
All that I did was remove a lot more applications. It's designed as minimalist as possible so you can just add on your own preferred apps. The list of removed items are listed below. I mostly removed any LG apps as well as the Verizon Wireless startup sound. (Silent Boot!) Also, I removed Calculator because it's one of the few stock apps that can be removed and I usually prefer to just download a scientific calculator from Market.
This also shows exactly how LG designed their software. They changed the design inside some Android system apps (like Contacts, Dialer, etc.) and then threw in applications (like Socialite, LG Home, Home Selector, etc.) In other words, there is no LG UI, we have a stock Android phone. This is unlike Motoblur and HTC Sense which ties certain elements down to the OS.
Also, I'm considering removing the 3D Gallery app, if you guys would like to be able to just load your own from market. Just let me know what you think.

View 6 Replies View RelatedCan someone explain to me who's idea it was to put the LED Notification light inside the grill of the ear speaker?
View 43 Replies View RelatedOne of the nice things I had with my BB was an app that allowed you to modify the length, frequency, and color of your LED light notifications for when you had missed calls, emails, etc. That way you didn't have to bring the screen alive to know if you didn't hear the audible notification. The LED on the EVO seems to be pretty short and sometimes infrequent. I seem to keep bringing the screen alive to find I have missed emails etc. but the LED wasn't flashing at all. Has anyone found a good App that does this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a Droid user at the moment, but am considering moving to the EVO next month, and I have a question regarding the LED's on the phone. My wife has to have complete darkness in the room at night and even a charging light bothers her she says (wtf, I just close my eyes and I cant see it, but whatever).
Anyway, on the Droid there is a program called LEDs hack that allows us to turn off all the notification and soft-button LED's when charging, so I am wondering if anything similar is available for the EVO yet. Also, can the charging light itself be disabled? It could not on the droid, but the home dock covered that one completely, so no big deal.
Trying to activate the LED to use as a flashlight on the HTC EVO 4G. I know this is possible because there at least a couple applications in the Android Market (LED Desire Light, Tesla) that do this.
I've tried using setFlashlightEnabled, which I'm told works on the Droid. On my Nexus One with Froyo I used setFlashMode to set the mode to FLASH_MODE_TORCH, which works fine. But I can't figure out how to get the same effect on the HTC EVO 4G.
For some reason whenever I receive a text both my led light and the trackball won't light up. I use handcent sms for messaging and I have turned them both on in settings, but they still won't light up.
