that is a replacement. And I am guessing you will get a shipping fee in your next bill just like they replace my vibrant for 9.99 for shipping.

In other words, he (Mdevi5l) never said they're just giving it to him for free, he's not the OP.

You may want to wait and see after week or so see you they charge you for not sending back the old battery.
There was nothing but the battery in the bag from ups. I'll wait a week and call them.

I just received a replacement Epic from Asurion after I cracked the screen and reported it lost. The replacement Epic appears to be new but I want to be sure. How can I tell if there is any usage on it?

I know on the hero there was a menu you could go into to see the life values of the phone, how much data, how many minutes - it even had a spot for refurb date if it was refurbed. its one of the EPST menus.

Dude you can get broken screens fixed for free now at a sprint repair center. Call back the ins tell them you found your phone, send it back (if you can) and get your phone fixed for free!!
I got my epic before the nexus s 4g came out so I just looked up here one day and bam. There of was perfect directions on how to root and do everything. Everyone has been so helpful especially the ACS team. If you wanna know how to get a free nexus through sprint pm me and ill tell ya how I did it. PS. Hope you get gingerbread soon.
All I can say is thanx this workefd in like 15 mins
Imma try tonite. When y'all called, did you mention the nexus by name, or just tiptoe around until they offered it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
All I did was I called Sprint *****ed about the epic and said that I wanna get on a new phone the lady said that's OK and she gave me a few to choose from and the nexus s 4g was one. I am using it right now rooted and all ****s amazing.
That's what I did sorry I can't respond to all to everyone I did not exspect to get over 200 inbox messages. Hahahaha. I did have 3 people that it worked for already

OOOoooo, sounds shady and unethical.
Craigslist, (still shady but more ethical ) , ftw
Here's the Secret,
1. Sign up for TEP
2. Use the phone for two calls
3. Brick your phone on purpose by erasing the bootloader
4. send it in for TEP and request a Nexus S

He wants the attention
Just got shot down. Said I had I power button issue and ****ty service. They said I needed to have my epic replaced 3 times before I wo9uld qualify for a nexus. I'm pretty slick. I've gotten replacements for nothing before, and I didn't mention the nexus until she did. Instead, she made me a service ticket and told me to take it to a corperate service center, since I told her I had been told to call the hotline by a 3rd party store.
I guess ill try again another day.

Got the same answer, I'm wondering if the op been thru repair center before and that's why they gave the ns4g but oh well..I'm still thinking if I wanna go thru all this trouble :S

Im sure it wasnt as easy as it sounded , any phone company giving you a free phone there will be a catch to it ..ohh well at least some ppl got their nexus 4g
well im already on my second replacement epic. so im gonna try and hopefully have some success ... eeeeek
So I found a guy that will swap me a brand new Nexus S 4G for my Epic.
Any harm in providing him the DEC?
Also, is there anything in particular I should look for on his Nexus? I have never done a swap like this before.

Hmmmm, why did he say that he wanted it?
EDIT: Ohhhh I'm an idiot. I believe he wants to check your ESN.
And the most important of all else is his ESN clean? If it isn't you're in trouble.
Yeah, he did mention that he wanted to check the ESN. How do I check his?
If you can, preform the swap at a sprint store to check the ESN. His ESN.

Before anything else, AC is right, you should meet up at a Sprint door with the guy to validate everything. But here is a site to check.

I would have used it to be make sure it's legit but I'm in the middle of a phone call. -___-' Sorry man.

This is pretty much what I thought, but hadn't done it previously.

So what I have also learned today is that Sprint will check the ESN for you via the customer service line. Just call and give it to them.
Sure they can check it over the phone, but like others have said it is best to perform any purchases/trades at a physical Sprint store location. That way they can update the ESN right there.
I've heard of people purchasing a cell phone from CL and by the time they get home the "seller" claims to have lost it so they end up with a phone with a Bad ESN- in fact someone here on XDA had that happen to them.
Yeah, I ended up not doing it. Too many things that didn't click for me so I backed off. Not worth screwing myself over.

I recommend the in store option for this reason. Most of the reps at my store would be happy to do it.

You can do it right on the spot just call sprint rep and ask to check that number for you if legit no need to go home first.

Does anybody know how I would go about opening my phone and replacing the camera? My hardware camera part is broken (as far as I can tell, neither the camera or flash work any more in any rom or app) but I have more than one person offer to help me out (jgross something and my dev friend) and let me take the camera out of their test or spare device. problem is, I have no idea how to open the phone without breaking something, or taking the camera out. and I definitely have no idea how to connect it unless it is like a computer type deal.
plus side is, I have access to lots of different tools between my dad, friends and work, and I repair and take apart computers all the time so I have experience with small connectors like for internal parts of net books and whatever.
tl;dr if you know how to take apart a fascinate and replace a camera, or can link to somewhere that I can learn, you rock

I actually wrecked my car (totalled it, not my fault) last Monday morning, my phone apparently hit the dashboard hard enough to kinda fix the camera. It works for long enough to take a couple of pictures then messes up.
Anyways, I received a replacement camera, but am pretty busy dealing with insurance claims and stuff right now, I will make sure to document and post an update if I ever get around to doing it.
