How many of us are still on our ORIGINAL EVO?

[mted558]

got mine on launch day, June 4, not one problem, greatest phone ever. learning more about it every day

Still on launch day, version 003 but I am having reboot problems now, so I will have to get it replaced.

I just got mine replaced for the same issue, got another 003. My refurb seems to have been a screen replacement because the light leakage along the bottom edge of the screen is pretty gnarley and I have a well placed spec of dust under the screen. My TPU cover hides the light leakage and I don't notice the dust unless the screen is all black and backlit.

I'm just happy to not have the rebooting problem any more.

[An UrgeTo Dance]

I'm still on my first one right now, got it in July but am getting a new one probably this week because mine is giving error code 18 while installing stuff and they can't figure out how to fix it.

 

[Frogbone]

Still on my launch day EVO Hardware Version 0002. Got light leakage but it doesn't bother me. All around happy with my phone

 

[Bagua]

[issues_92]

Still have my first evo that I got the day they came out! Was loving it until today when I installed the latest update.... I no longer have the Android market installed and it is having issues with some of my gadgets (facebook and you tube)

Sadly I have to retract my vote as still having my orig Evo... Over time it started taking longer and longer to boot up, to load pages, videos, anything. Then it started rebooting randomly, then back to back reboots, and after about a week or 2, boot loop cycles. Boot all the way to the home screen (taking 3-5 minutes) and reset, over and over till Id pull the battery. Pulled the SD card, and reloaded several times, cleared the cache, or whatev through the boot loader menu, everything. After taking it to BB (where I got it) they told me it would take 2+ weeks turn around, and the loaner didnt have GPS (which I NEED for work) so that was a no go, went to a Sprint service center, and the tech was certain my internal memory was failing/corrupt. Same thing the guy at BB said.

Anyways, even though I have BB insurance, Sprint said they understood I need my GPS for work, and for $35 had another phone there ready and waiting for me by NOON the NEXT day. +1 Sprint, that saved my week. It WAS a refurb, but, had only like 200 lifetime calls on it, which is a small fraction of what I had. It boots in under 60 seconds or so, and the sound quality seems to be alot better, speaker phone and earpiece. It was a 03 ver I had since June. Was a hardware defect for sure, not user error. Still totally happy with my phone, and REALLY happy with Sprints customer service even though I didnt have their insurance, or even buy the phone through them!

I am still on my original launch day phone as well. Hardware version with light leakage and a crack by the power button, but I still love this phone. It has even survived 2 drops with only dents to show.

 

[CoachEVO]

Still got it (launch day...#1 at local Best Buy), still LOVE it...it's almost an addiction. No issues whatsoever.

 

[Super Noob]

I had to return mine within the 30 day period at Best Buy because of port issues and not being able to connect. I've had the replacement ever since.

I will say though that it could have been a faulty USB cord because I started having connection issues again with the HTC provided USB-cable & power connector combo. I bought a different USB cable from walmart and haven't had any Evo to computer connections since.

Evo = win

 

[Nicks85]

Same one since June

 

[cooden]

June 4th EVO here!

 

[Rdot9]

original evo, June 5th. brand new screen though.

 

[lovin_syl]

i got mine when the white Evo first launched and ive yet to have a problem with it. i ♥ my Evo!!!

 

[ecooke21]

launch day here

 

[Dr. Who]

I still have my original which was purchased a couple of weeks after launch. The software updates fixed most of the glitches in my EVO (e.g. screen sensitivity issues, etc).

However, a few weeks ago I started experiencing random reboots. A hard reset seems to have fixed the problem, but only time will tell. I may have to change my vote, if the random reboots returns.

 

[StealthTH]

Well, I've had my original evo since mid june. Yesterday however I called for a replacement due to the infamous B spot issue.

 

[HittingSmoke]

I didn't get mine till a while after launch day because of a local shortage but I am still on my original.

As soon as I got it I put an Otterbox case on it with a Crystal screen protector.

I've not had any of the problems I see people complaining about. No screen separation (like I had bad on my Touch Pro). There's no light leakage unless I look at it from a ridiculous angle from the top.

After my 4th EVO I finally had to fight to change to an Epic. No problems with the Epic so far.
