Hmm Should i send my phone back to sprint because.. :P

Well i had small problems for a while but its starting to get anoying... i have the portection plan..i dont wanna change my vogue.. i wanna keep it .... ok here are the problems.. (on the order they started affected me haha)
1. when i touch the screen sometimes i can c the screen change a little form the side of the screen
2. Sometimes the battery justs falls off little bit from the phone and it turns off...
3. When i wanna correct something(when typing) .sometimes i wanna use the buttons that are on the bottom but recently they randomly stop working too
It also has scratches just little tho but its been a year since i got this phone... the same phone.i want a replacement! another new vogue =D
can anybody passs me the stock rom from sprint.
what should i do? any other problems i could tell them to get a new one.. lol
if i just show them the phone it looks ok....

Good luck... they probably won't replace it. Sprint sucks
I had a warranty on my phone, and then they randomly decided to take it off, then wouldn't give me a new one. Assholes.

i guess every sprint its diferent in diferent cities... here sprint rocks u could said... they sometimes trick u ... like when i wanted to take the tv away and they took my internet too ... i dint pay... just gotta be smart...
i want the stock rom to go to the sprint store..help

you wont get a new phone as sprint doesn't have any, ive tired. you will get a refurb or another model. be aware that you will have to pay the deductible.

not even try to fix it? am sure they do have some XD

im telling ya man, you will get a refurb, they don't carry new vogues anymore. htc doesn't even make them anymore. trust me as ive gone round and round with sprint about this just 3 weeks ago. your only option for a new one is ebay!

its goin to be a certified refurbished tho.. they arent that bad. i have gone through 3 vogues cause verizons white case likes to crack a lot.

aa that sucks..and if i get like a vogue because they dont have anymore... will i still have the 150 rebate thing that happens when its almost the end of your contract? i wanna wait for the touch diamond2 (if it comes out this year) my contract ends on december.. hopefully i can make it.. Dx

i dont think thats correct. htc still makes the vogues cuz bell has them, actually i purchased on for my friend that had a build date of a few months ago.

am gonna have to wait then .. until the diamond2 comes out.. if it ever does or get the brick-like with keyboard touchpro2 :[ which i really dont want to ...but its almost the diamond2... its the a a way i can take the keyboard apart! haha they should do it like that

if its through sprint it will more than likely be refurbished, its not cost effective for them to give out new ones with every warranty exchange.

Haha I work for a regional carrier, and when you file a claim for a vogue, you pay $100, and they send you the diamond. No joke.

then ill wait....ew the diamond..

May be going to EVO

I may be going to the Evo, we'll see. Sprint offered me a different model phone finally and I'm going to go for the evo. Third hero from them and their repair/refurb people can't seem to get it right... They said I have to pay sales tax on it though, which I found amazingly strange.
I will never leave the Hero forums, though, that was what got me into Android in the first place and I really wish I could still have a hero...

How did you swing that? Im on my 4th defective hero and they told me they will not replace them anymore. That they can only do so many replacements per year. I have insurance too. Oh yeah and if you do get an evo, it will probably ship with the new patch that prevents root. No work around yet either!

Correct spelling is traitor.
And I was pissed enough to be willing to pay the ETF on this line and close my other brand new line if they didn't take care of the issue by sending me a different model phone due to the circumstances. I'e been with them for a little over 3 years now and always been good with my bills and such so they try to keep me happy, and I really do appreciate that. The guy said I could pick the phone so I checked out online and decided to go with the Evo even though I'll probably never get 4g. It's the only other phone comparable to the Hero and that is made by HTC, since I like the HTC product.

Only thing is, though, is that he said they'd be back in stock in approx 2 weeks... well... I leave for vacation on the 21st and if they're back in in exactly 2 weeks, that puts it at the 20th. Plus 2 days for shipping and I'll have a phone sitting outside my garage for 2 weeks.
Can someone who works for Sprint, like a rep I'd get a hold of if I dialed *2, let me know what the expected arrival date is for more Evo's, please? I really need to stay on top of this so I can get it if they come in earlier. I can't have that phone sitting outside for 2 weeks. I'd owe you one if you could do this for me. PM me or whatever!

I'm pretty sure that after 3 or 4 replacements, you're allowed to switch the phone out for a new model... At least that's how it was for my sisters blackberry.

There is no "eta" (sorry) they've been available twice since the first time they sold out for approximately 3 hours both times before they sold out again. I work sprint retention.

Haha this is off-topic, but DirtyShroomz, what would I need to say to Sprint when I call them later today to get a free AirRave? The signal in my house SUCKS, and my battery dies super quickly because of that.

Idk what ASL means, but 1x won't matter since I can use WiFi at my house (where the airrave will be).

I was asking for my personal curiosity lol.

ASL - Account spending limit --- your bill usually shows if you are part of the program. You also get a $4.99 fee / month on your bill if your not on auto-pay and part of the ASL program.
You also need to be in an area where its avail. -- its not avail everywhere, http://sprint.com/airave click where is it avail. Put your zip in.
Also don't just ask for one. That's rude. Explain that you don't have signal in your house, your diggin your new phones but dropped calls in home are worth the ETFs to you and the high cost if you can't get your signal in your house, and then see if they will help you out.

The newest OTA was rooted yesterday, huzzah!

There is no way in hell you are going to get an evo from sprint and only pay sales tax. If you did you must be sucking someone off because they wanted to ship me another refurb hero, i told them to shove it. i talked to 6 people and spent 3hrs on the phone with them. one guy actually told me he could get me an evo but of course the dipshi* didn't note the account. i hate sprint with a passion. they told me in the end that they are giving evo's out to no one for free, if you want one you have to pay full price or wait until your upgrade and pay the difference. what a bunch of crap!
Oh well in a few months im sure i will be able to pick one up on craiglist for $150 or so.
FYI this would be my 4th replacement hero in 6 months.

I also didn't mean any offense towards the OP but im pissed right now! I even offered to pay the difference on the evo if they would push my upgrade status up.

It was a figure of speech man, as i said. By all means share your almighty knowledge on how you got sprint to do this for you!

So where is this Evo? It's been a few days now.... I highly doubt you got an Evo free my man.

Sprint.com is out of stock for them. Getting it replaced when they come back in stock, in about 10 days or so.

[Lost Nexus] There is yet hope! Nexus just on Wifi?

Yep, thats the bad news today folks.
After loosing it I am forced to call on my insurance and get a new one. Now thats all well and good, but due to recent financial problems I am going to have to instead stick it on ebay.co.uk and flog it for as much as I can.
Just wanted to say bye to you Nexus folk....
If anyone wants to buy it off me instead let me know. Is UK model, fully unlocked of course.
I am now going to go cry a little....

Pffssh... financial troubles? You have TWO kidneys, right?

LoL You have TWO kidneys ONE Nexus You've to decide

--: UPDATE :--
Right, that lost phone I had... HAS NOW BEEN FOUND!
However, I now have a problem. I now have 2 Nexi (that the plural?). However, the one that I lost has been black listed and wont work with a Sim inside, but does work as an ipod touch would. Just miles better as its awesome.
So my question is this, can I live with my nexus one just having Wifi? And whats the best way to go about with this. I could really do with the extra £400 odd selling my unboxed Nexus will get me. However, I wonder if I got a cheap phone just for calls and texts, if I could get my Wifi Nexus to work just like having a call capable nexus would be? Is it going to be to much of a compromise?
Cheers,

Sell your phone to someone in the US. They don't blacklist them here.

That... that right there is an Idea.... Never thought of that.
Means I get a brand new Nexus AND Money for my other nexus... You are a genius!

isnt it fraud if you got your insurance money but then "find" your lost/stolen phone?

Well when I found it, I called up my provider... but the guy on the line said just to keep it. Had to pay a big excess, so maybe thats why.
EDIT: Maybe thats why I never thought of selling it abroad... I do think that is illegal. But my excess was like £300 for it... almost not worth it... >_>. Will just stick with using it as a wifi device I think.

Well, you could use it as a VOIP phone...

ill buy it!! let me know how much u want for it, in USD

does the nexus one have wireless N? most new phones have that.
edit: found out that it doesn't

You can get the phone un-blacklisted, just call your provider. They may need a letter from your insurance company.
If you have one to sell, new or blacklisted, pm me with an amount in sterling or euro.

Yes it does, ever since Froyo arrived.

Vibrant Free (Online only) at T-Mobile.com

While it requires 2 year contract but also available to existing customers who want to add an existing line. Those on individual plans may realize monthly savings switching to the promotional family plan they also got going. Maybe get one for your wife, girlfriend, as insurance when for when you do something stupid, etc. These should (hopefully) also have the corrected GPS hardware as well.
Let's try not to let this thread devolve into a discussion about how the phone isn't actually free. I'm just trying to help / make sure people that would be otherwise unaware, are aware. Plus, I just love plugging my favorite phone ever whenever I can.

Thanks for the heads up I know someone that that will benefit from this .

Samsung probably getting ready to release another phone. Vibrant Plus? making room in the warehouses

Ya I seen this yesterday and I am pissed!!!! I just got my phone a little over a week ago and I had to pay $100 for it. Now it is free? That is some BS!

According to the TMO CSR, it's a 20-day return policy when purchased over the web. As this is available online only, this is the case.

Yeah, I read that rumor as well. It either will or won't come to fruition. However, if it's only to add HSPA+ then I don't care. If it has an FFC too, I'd care more but enough. If they add HDMI out though then I'd probably care. Either way, it might still ship with v2.1 Eclair. LOL! There's also a waiting period for support by devs for any new phones even at XDA.

In the opinion of you folks who own this phone... worth using my upgrade for? I have a MyTouch Slide now, but I'm itching for something else. I was leaning toward the Nexus S, but this is about $200 cheaper. And seems close enough hardware wise where I would be happy with it.

After a bit of back and forth with myself, I decided to go for it. If I don't like it, I still have my Slide and will send the Vibrant back. Yippee!

thanks, told my parents, they might get one

Guess there is a glitch with there online upgrade because my upgrade doesnt happen for 18 months but I got one free
Lets see if it stays that way when it comes in because ill be sending it back if it doesnt

The Vibrant 2.2...

Evo 149.99 for Upgrade now

I just seen it on Sprint's Website....

Wouldn't make much sense to charge $199 for both the Evo 3d and OG EVo

Agreed...
I know 2 people that were waiting for it to drop so they could upgrade...

Got mine last week @ best buy for 100
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Didn't know about Best Buy for $100 until today.
My wife got hers last week for $199, wouldn't you know, they lowered the price. I just got off the phone with Sprint and they credited my account the $50.
Of course, if they hadn't, I would have had her return it as "I didn't like it" under Sprints 30 Day guarantee and then gone to Best Buy. She doesn't need 3D and its easier to maintain 2 identical phones.

Best Buy's website has it at $49.99 when I just checked. My NS4G is going back along with the $100 going back in my wallet. I'm within my initial 30 days and this is my second NS4G and the radio still sucks. I didn't want to go with a yr old phone, but it performs great and just got the official GB update so it's still well supported by HTC and Sprint. White Evo 4G will be in my pocket tomorrow.

Saw it at sams today for $99.00

Done Done and Done....
Went by the local BB this morning and picked one up for him @ $50 was in and out within 15 minutes. Told the guy..."No need to take any more of your time...I'll activate it myself". There were a couple phones having the activation and UPDATE done..
Activated and now rooted..good times.
Went to Sprint to check on my replacement of the replacement EVO (BAD screen) they replaced last Friday..no go and phone calls to customer service etc have yet to get me a NIB phone..will deal with that. Guess I was a little frustrated..on the way out I saw three couples looking at the EVO and proceeded to exclaim..."Might want to go across the street to BB and get yours for $50 instead". Probably should have just kept quiet, but felt better as two of the three followed me out the store.

Sweet how did u get it for fifty did u have to motor boat
