mines is like that but I assumed that's how it suppose to be cause I noticed that like when you press it it like clicks twice. so you press it a little the camera focuses when you press it all the way down it takes a pic.

You sounded solid on your answer, so I assumed it had been discussed or you otherwise knew. I guess I got lucky on mine I don't like cheesy feelin' switches on stuff. Being common, it shouldn't make a bit of difference on reliability though, it's just a handle for the actual switch. Thanks for your input; I woulda had him sending it back for no reason. OP could still end up in orange coveralls after tearing open all the boxes in Better Buy trying to find the good one :smokingsomb: Hopefully not a problem, since we're all smart enough to have a smart phone.

Mines solid. I would have said send it back, if not for the reply that it was normal.

Mine wiggles a little. probably wiggles up to 1mm max. I have no problems actually toggling between 3d and 2d. I've just given up on the evo's buttons, they're all terribly hard to use compared to my optimus V (currently using camera button full press as "power" and half press for "camera". Can't seem to remap buttons in jellybean roms though, I don't know why).

I'll check next time I see my phone. It's outside and I gotta fight three dogs to get in and out while I'm hanging storm doors I came in for a drill battery and decided i should sit down for a while. Feels nice out there now that it's 30F again!

I think there is just a tiny amount of play, but doesn't move unless pushed one way or the other. Wife's phone has no play at all side to side, just a hair in and out, no rattle at all on either.

I think it's just tolerance between the parts. They try to make things so any part A fits any part B, or it becomes a labor and quality issue with human judgement calls, or with cheap overseas labor, just not caring.

Hardware is 0002, and I can't detect any play at all on it. Shutter release actually seems to have more play. If I gently tap the 2d/3d switch, it sounds like skin on solid plastic, dull. On my wife's, I get a plastic on plastic click when I tap it. Shutter release on hers is actually better than mine. That tells me it's just tolerances. Might change with temperature too. Both phones have been sleeping and are cool, mines actually pretty cold from the porch. I'm pretty cold too. Done with that for the day!

My hardware is 0002 also and the 2d/3d is real tight, almost to the point of being too tight. It

All of our phones will be revision 002, only the very first Evo 3d's were 001. Someone else might know more but the only significant difference that I'm aware of is that the original version supports usb otg without requiring external power.

Some slight side to side movement, nothing annoying though.
