3vo is toast! Dead! Display shot...

If I'm the first to have a dead one, do I get some major props?

Woke up this morning, pulled it off the charger, browsed the web a bit. Then played Angry Birds for a few and left it alone for a while. Then I started playing Heavy Gunners from com2us. I get to the first boss and it totally hung. Couldn't do anything. I removed the battery, got a refresh on my coffee. I come back, put the battery back in and it booted to an almost completely white screen with a variety of Red, Blue, and Green pixels spatter painted throughout the screen. There was a thin bit of visible screen at the very top of the display. I attempted to perform a hard reset, but the screen did the same when I got to the reset screen, couldn't select the hard reset button.

No drops, no nothing, just toasted it playing that game. The game did hang two days ago when I was playing it and I had to yank the battery but it didn't have the same result.

An hour and a half at Radio Shack and I'm on #2 now. AppBrain save me now!

I'm wondering if some of the games out there are not programmed to handle the display in this thing. For the time being I'm sticking with less graphics intensive games and waiting for reviews on sites like this. Definitely not getting any of the older ones for a while.
 
Tough game, even the very first boss was so strong, he killed your phone dead!:D

Glad you are back in business with a replacement phone.
 
Well, I'm confused, Heavy Gunner on com2us is for Iphone? I don't see an android version at all there?

Ah ha! We found the problem! Your first Evo 3D was actually an iPhone and died because it couldn't live up to the expectations!

Kidding, of course! I don't want to start an Evo 3D vs iPhone thing.
 
I went to comment on AppBrain and found that they just added a little pink message to it. It wasn't there friday when I installed it. Probably something with refreshing my account info or something, old phone was 2.1.

Your device has Android 2.3. However this app is for Android version up to 2.1

How are you doing the Google backup? AppBrain had everything, had to re-install. Unfortunately I have to put in all of the account info again. Is there a way around that?
