Hardware Versions: 0002 or 0003? Also, HTC called me back about the screen issue..

[AussieLuv]

I have version 0003 and no screen lifting or light leakage. I do get weak Wifi reception.

Had an 0002. Had the grounding issue, a horribly loose battery cover that would come off way too easily, and very bad light leakage onto the LCD from under the bezel (not too bad around the capacitive buttons so much). Thought this was normal until I went to a Sprint store and saw demo models without. Went back to Radio Shack for a replacement and was told to expect a wait, but they called me the next day saying they had one in stock so I picked it up today. 0003 has no light issues and, also interestingly enough, the battery back is different: a more-rubberized surface which fits way more snugly and tightly than the shinier 0002 back the original one had, though I know this may have been mentioned before. 0003 phone generally feels more solid without the creaky backplate too, no difference in terms of software performance etc. so far.

0003 here. No light leakage, lifting, wifi issues, etc. Only issue mine has is no FM reception with headset plugged in all the way. It will work if you pull it out one notch.

Just got an 0003. No issues except for low wifi bars. Wifi seems to work fine though.

I have 0003. I got my phone last night actually in the mail from Sprint. I have a very slight lift on the bottom corners. So far you really have to look at it closely to tell but I'm sure at some point it's going to get worse. I also have the issue with the screen not working right when it's not in your hand but not all the time.

0002

Glass rising and backlight bleed under buttons.

 

[Insurrection666]

003 here. No issues except the "bad grounding" which I see as a near non-issue.

 

[KingGrimlock]

i have 0003 and no problems. no light leakage, no screen shifting or lifting and the screen responds to one finger while it's on a flat surface.

 

[Dukins]

0002 and light leakage. Hasnt bothered me though.

 

[fastamx79]

Oh yeah, my 0003 also doesn't have any of the grounding issues on the screen when it is on fabric or any other strange surface... the screen works great! I even tested the multi-touch screen using the "Multitouch Vis Test" app and everything is great!

Version 0003 - no problems

 

[hk-usp45]

Version 00002. Light leakage. Battery drains like crazy.

 

[akarol]

0002 light leakage on bottom and now on right side of screen. Doesn't seem to be lifting though.

 

[Brett636]

0003 here and no problems, but I've only had my Evo for 3 days so maybe its not the best indicator that there won't be problems.
