Help I Need Professional Evo Help!

I have a few things I am noticing and need help with:

1. In my contacts, the Facebook pictures never update. My girlfriend's picture has changed three times but in the phone it is the same from the first day I imported it. Shouldn't this update when it changes?

2. Birthdays that are in the contacts don't show up in the Calendar. Facebook b-days do via sync, but not the ones in the contact info.

3. Is anyone having the issue of the HTC logo coming up when you press the top button to turn the screen on. I see HTC and it thinks for about 30 seconds before getting to the home screen. this happens every once in a while not all the time.

4. I have friendstream to update every 3 hours but it doesn't all of the time. Have to manually refresh.

5. Light Leakage, grounding issue and slight raise in the screen. UGH!

6. Can't seem to get any movie to play. Used three different programs to convert to MP4 . . . nothing! Anyone have any links to sites that have already converted movies for the Evo 4G? PM me.

7. Google Voice . . . HELP! When setting up it asks when making calls which service to use. I want to select ask every time. Can I change this in the future?

8. Google Voice . . . PART 2! Setting up again . . . it says in order to configure voicemail it needs to access current settings. Do I have to set google voicemail as the primary voicemail. I just want to use it for certain callers. I don't want to hit the next step "configure" without knowing I can still have Sprint Voicemail as the primary voicemail and have the option to send to GV or automatically set it up that way through the GV website.


Love this phone, don't want to return it at all!!! But should I get a replacement because of all of this (minus my GV ignorance)?

Grounding issue alone warrants a return for a working unit.

Mine had the grounding issue, on my second one right now and no grounding issue.
