Okay I have the $7 sprint insurance and my phone fails to connect to the sprint network(unrooted and stock 2.1).
I went to the sprint store today and they said they fixed it because the PRL was outdated blah blah blah....and the pohne worked fine.... for 2 hours then it failed again.
I chatted with sprint about it and a rep told me to go to the sprint store to get a new hero(he first offered me a refurb instinct! because he did not have any refurbs for the hero).
So tomorrow I have to go to the store again to claim a new hero.... but I'm 99.9% sure I won't see it since its discontinued.
What phone should I ask for if the hero is not in stock? (I am not asking for an evo or evo 3d just the next comparable phone that replaced the hero)
definitely do not get the instinct worst phone ever lol. if anything try and squeeze the lg optimous s out of them, it was very similar to the hero accept it didn't have sense, if they don't have any heroes in stock that is.

LG Optimus is very similar spec to the hero but better for some reason. Also has a real proximity sensor, still doesn't do flash. This would be a sidegrade though, you should shoot higher, sometimes the reps are good about that.
EVO 3D would be ideal but aim for a EVO Shift
Instinct is a big NO WAYYYY!!! That phone almost had me give up my cell phone and get a landline again it was so bad. The Optimus is a decent phone. My son has one and he generally likes it, however it doesn't have a large developer following so your ability to stick with it for the duration of your contract could be problematic.....if your contract extends beyond the next 6 months or so.

If his Hero is stock he'd probably be happy with an Optimus.....Agreed there. The Hero has been a lot more fun for me to tinker with though IMO.

Last time I checked (about a month ago) Aosp was primarily for the Optimus V some reports were that it would run on the S but it was buggy as hell and required the hard buttons remapped.... There were only 2 roms at the time worthy of a daily driver (stock & 1 custom). There were ony a couple of custom kernel choices and very few tweaks. It's also quite cumbersome to root (had to follow like 5 seperate threads and the screen is totally blank for 3/4 of the process). Please don't get me wrong it's not a bad phone, but if you're used to all of the customization of the Hero (like me)....I personally find it somewhat dissapointing.
***EDIT*** To be fair and objective since I don't give my son's Optimus the same love & TLC as our other phones & Nooks. I just popped over to Android Central to have a fresh look around. It seems like the rooting proccess has improved substantially in the past month and there are a couple of flashable "Sprint fixes" for the Aosp rom. Also new since I last visited is a unofficial beta CM7.....For what it's worth.
I sat down and had a beer with an old friend last night, he told me he had a samsung moment and since they didnt have that phone in stock he got an epic 4g.
They offered him a keyocera android phone and he said he paid for a high end samsung phone when it came out...not a keyocera.
I played with the optimus at the store and I like it...my upgrade is in 2 months...if they're feeling nice and let me renew my contract I'll get an evo 3d.
But an optimus S will be fine
I only need two things...my dish network tv everywhere app and pandora...
Lol.... this is what they offered me directly from my sprint web transcript
I can offer you one out of below mentioned refurbished phones for free. The contract will not be renewed. Once your phone will be eligible for upgrade, you may upgrade:
LG Lotus(Refurbished)
SANYO SCP-3810 (Refurbished)
Samsung Reclaim(Refurbished)
SCP-2700 by Sanyo (Refurbished)
Samsung Instinct (Refurbished)
Going to the sprint store soon... 1 hour drive... hope I get this solved once and for all.
Been around 9-10 hours without service

Well lets wait and see if I get the new phone on Friday. 99.9% guaranteed i'll get a refurb but meh its worth avoiding the $100 deductible from asurion.
Played with the optimus in the store again... the thing flies on stock 2.2.
Played with the evo shift and the slider feels firm compared tot he epic which feels cheap in the hand.
Going to use my upgrade towards the Galaxy S II or Motorola photon on september or whenever the phones are out

I haven't had really a single issue with cm nightly in months.
I've been fighting with my phone for it to work properly ever since the 2.3.3 upgrade and I'm about to toss it out the window for a Nexus S. I'm just hoping someone on craigslist will be willing to trade. Any comments on this decision? What are your opinions of the Nexus S, especially compared to the Evo 4g...
Also, have any of you traded phones to save money? If I make this trade I will have made 7 trades in the last year, without paying a penny and using basically every high-end android phone sprint has/had to offer. (Also, someone was dumb enough to trade me their epic for my hero. I warned them about the downgrade they were making, but they wanted the phone for its size.)
I'm fed up as well. you might as well trade!
i just traded my Evo for a Nexus S4G...i love the phone, very fast and responsive...the screen is awesome...the radios suck...they just updated and tbh i havent noticed any difference...sum have and sum havent...i miss sense though...i have found all the apps to reproduce wat sense does for my phone...none work as good as sense though...easy to root/unroot...maybe 5 roms total available...lol will be a shock coming from the Evo to be sure...customizing isnt a priority for the devs in the nexus formums it seems...they like it pure...which is fine but kinda boring...
overall i am happy, just wish the radios were better...i only got the NS4G as a stop gap waiting on sumthing better to hit sprint to use my upgrade on...i put my Evo on craigslist and it wasnt in gr8 condition either, had 20 replys by morning...traded less than 16 hours after posting it...hope this helps, spend sum time on the xda forum for the NS4G before you jump though...wish i would have now...good luck
yeah i feel your pain, i had a rooted evo and it broke, so i had to return it for a new one and got one with the update already on it so im using my upgrade for the new motorola photon....i'm going to miss my evo....
I wouldn't even trade on CL. If you have tep you can just exchange it. The tep program allows for exchange of the Evo for the nexus or shift. I was on my first Evo refurb with the locked bootloader with screen separation and a week vibrator motor and I said f*#k it and asked for a nexus. They said sure, but were out of stock. So they're sending me a new Evo in the box to hold me over and then sending me the nexus in two weeks.. all free. And if you don't have tep, just talk nice with a Sprint rep and see what they can do.

I'm sick of my camera locking up after 3 or 4 pictures and then rebooting. No root does make this phone just as boring as any other.
I'll sit tight and hold off. I'm thinking about it myself, but I noticed there's still someone working on it.

Ok I have been with sprint for less than a week. I came from att. Switched for lower price that's it! With att for just over a year and had a iphone 3gs, iphone 4, dell streak twice, samsung captivate twice, htc inspire, samsung infuse and motorola atrix. Damn that's alot. Anyways, I kinda know my way around a phone. If you guys and gals (I assume) got your hands on a htc infuse you would feel so different about a evo. I got 3 lines all with evos for free plus a port in credit of $375. I had my evo for 2 days! I am not bashing anyone that likes or has a evo at all. This is my opinion. I returned that and got a NS4G, granted I love me a big ol phone, but damn! I am running decks 1.3b with matr1x kernel oc'ed to 1.44 and uv'ed and get a quad of almost 3000! I know the test don't mean crap but I was blown away. No fc's or nothing! Its butter smooth and can get a day of moderate use easy. Plus the screen is so rich in colors. The one con I have is reception, buts it don't help where my house is. It is a very nice phone.
Honestly, if you can't live without sense don't do it cause you wont want to go back. If you don't care for sense, then you should pick one up cause bestbuy has them for free! Plus it is so flippin easy to root.

ill jsut hold out for now, i am VERY tempted to just buy a rooted one off ebay in the meantime, but if im gonna change my evo i want it to be for a lte dual core beast next year, i wont use the upgrade now, id rather spend 150 bucks ona used evo on ebay for now, but we MIGHT get root eventually , agrabren seems to be working on porting the xploit but no such luck so far, so lets see what happens before christmas
The Nexus S was okay nothing like the N1 i got tired of it locking up and the video recording quality sucks id go to the Evo 3D. I been happy with that phone.

My evo is giving me a ton of F/cs on 2.3 and horrible battery life, do I go into a repair center and ask? I'm on my second evo replacement
I really love my evo to death but this replacement is killing me, hoping for root soon!
Roms are flying around like crazy in the 3d forums and its been s off for a little over 24 hours.

I loved m EVO before it got replaced due to a routine test failing, now I'm stuck on 2.3 w/ no root. There is a problem with the vibration in the one they gave me however. How much is the Photon running..maybe I'll look into that or making the trade for the Shift.
Add me to the list, I walked blindly into this mess . My Hero finally croaked on me (had been limping it along for months on a intermittent digitizer + generally terrible performance due to getting wet 'why get insurance when you've never destroyed a phone before' Murphy's law? lol) and just bought an Evo 4G knowing it was already a year old, but still looked pretty well spec'd and they were willing to give me a much better early upgrade price on it vs. the Nexus S. First thoughts, holy crap this thing is fast coming from the Hero, but by the end of the work day Friday I was chomping at the bit to get home and start trying some ROMs, specifically the Synergy + Godmode, only to hit a brick wall before even getting started.
I love the phone, but not being able to get rid of all the crapware and mess with different ROMs sucks.
Ok so here's the deal I got a rather new OG EVO so not having a phone I went into sprint to start up a new contract, they said they would give me 150 for the EVO I had and that I could get another new EVO for 100, making 50$ I did it got my new phone and went home to root it.
So the new EVO has 2.3 kinda mad as the older one had 2.2, so I figure these are my options .
1 I can go into sprint store and swap phone in for a 3d (rootable?) Since it hasent be 30 days, how much more is the 3d?
2 I can just wait for root
3 just say f it drop contract and go to Verizon cause here in ft Wayne in sprint 4g coverage still sucks.
Any other ideas ?

Since you are a xda member, u know there is no root and at this point will never be....
1. Why didn't u power on the device your before signing the contract just to check if it had 2.3
2. You were better off on Craigslist.
3. As a member, come now... The first two weeks after ota update.. many made the mistake taking the update but this late in the game. You bought .. u gotta deal with it. Asking for advice from xda is like asking a 5yo what time sesame street come on.

If coverage is poor in your area, switch carriers. If not and only 4G is weak (and not all that important), then go back for the 3D. That is what I would do at least, the 3D is substantially better than the EVO and its rooted.
So, after over a year without any major issues with my phone and no replacements, my Epic is ready to be replaced. My charger port is no longer charging correctly. Sprint said that Epics are on backorder and it may take a week and have offered me an Evo, Evo Shift, or Nexus as a replacement. I actually LOVE my Epic thanks to all of the developers on here and custom roms available. What would you do?
get the nexus or wait a week?
I highly recommend the Nexus S if you enjoy having the latest&greatest roms, and active community.
However, if you are attached to the Epic, then wait a week. This phone still has a lot to offer once it get's Gingerbread, and though that seems like a long time from now, I'm sure your patience would be rewarded one way or another.
Getting the Evo or Evo Shift is pointless due to its lack of Odin or ADB. In my opinion, rooting and flashing roms on an HTC device is risky.
So those are my two options for ya. I recommend the Nexus, but I hope the Epic still persuades you to stay with the community. It would be unfortunate for another member to go, however do not feel like that should hold you back.
Nexus. I love my Epic but I could live without the keyboard if it means faster updates

So, I decided to get an Epic replacement and already told them to place the order in. I really do love this phone and the community around it. I considered the Nexus seriously, but decided I wasn't willing to give up on this phone yet. It's been the best smartphone I've had yet.
I would seriously like to see a non-FC GB release though lol, EH17 and below have driven me crazy! I hope Samsung and Sprint don't leave us behind with the Touch out.

i had this same issue and when i went to take it into the sprint repair center they didnt even look at it and told me that i had to file a claim for the insurance. 2 weeks a 2 damaged replacement phones later im still stuck with a phone that i cannot charge or flash. Asurion sucks make sure they send you a new one and dont take no for an answer!!!
I have the insurance and yes, it's free. They are on backorder though, so I have to wait some extra time.

If you're already at a year, why not just wait until you have an upgrade available? Than you can def keep your epic.
Yeah, that's what I'm doing. I'll keep my Epic for another year. It's treated me good. I picked it up the day it came out and I've loved it. My replacement comes in tomorrow. Let's hope it lasts another year and by then a new phone will have my heart.

I should get my Epic replacement today. I just couldn't go with the Nexus. Little things like the lack of an LED really bother me, as I explained in another thread. Taking away features that should be so basic on every phone just IRKS me.
Personally, I would check and see what phone has the highest value on eBay. Check the completed auctions to see. If Epic isn't one of them consider replacing with the highest priced one and then sell it and buy an Epic 4G on eBay or like I did, on Craigslist.

I have insurance on the phone. I'd rather keep a replacement from them so I can keep the insurance on it. I don't have the money out of pocket to replace it if it's broken again. The insurance has already paid off with my need to replace it once.
I picked up my new Epic today. I finally don't feel disconnected from the world around me.
So I got my first shift on launch day. I was so excited to get away from my Moment. I got it from best buy and got the Black tie protection. I thought I got black tie in conjunction with the sprint insurance. Less than a month later, I drop the phone in the sink and take it to BB. They send it off to their repair ctr and I'm stuck with the Moment for 3 weeks before I get a new Shift. 3 weeks is a long time to wait for a phone, so I cancel the best buy insurance (thinking I still had sprint's.)
Then less than a month later, my down volume rocker stops working and i take the phone to the sprint store. Turns out, best buy canceled the sprint insurance and so not only do they not repair/replace the phone, they take pictures of the broken solder points on the volume rocker, circle them, and show me exactly where the hardware defect is that they wont fix! So I call Assurion pissed about this and get my insurance reinstated.
A couple weeks later, I take my phone to another sprint repair center and they tell me that my phone has been added to a "Do not repair" list and that they cant do anything about it. Furious again about this situation, I call sprint and they give me some crap about how the insurance didnt start til after the phone was placed on the list, so they cant fix the phone.
So I gave up. I cancelled the insurance again and just used the phone on vibrate all the time. Well, last week, my screen shattered and I was just gonna buy a new screen and fix it and the broken solder on the motherboard at one time. they wont fix it anyway right? But then my fiance suggested that I call sprint and complain again.
Well I did, and this time told them that as soon as the Nexus Prime came out, I would be leaving sprint (to whom I have been a loyal customer since 2001) for verizon and now all of a sudden, they're apologizing for the way they treated me. The rep said that they cant fix the shift because it was on the Do-not-repair list, but he could give me a brand new Epic Touch for $30 and I was still eligible for my upgrade in January.
Moral of the story is, Buy a case for your phone.
Either way you look at it, its time for an upgrade... Go with what makes you happy pal,, best of luck to you

Omg that hella sucks balls. They gave me that phone at bestbuy for a loaner while they tried to fix my hero. Then the refurb hero came in and it was stuck to a bad esn so they gave me a new shift. That sammy inter sucked worse then my hero ever did. I dont see any way in hell bb or sprint could send you an inny for a shift! This phone rocks way more socks. If you "paid" $30 bones for that i would raise hell worse then a nercomancer! Hope all ends and pays off for you and you took names and employee numbers!

Well now we know why it was only $30 . sorry though thats horrible. my mother has the intercept and if she didn't need a phone i'd chunk it out the windows, skip it like a rock in the pond, and see if it would work as a speed bump for cars.
It's possibly the worst phone sprint carries "not to discourage the fun times you'll have with it"
but I would call sprint and (like everyone else said) raise hell as much as you can. hopefully you did take notes and kept track of this. and like prboy said make sure you mention Verizon that'll get em to do something.
I feel for ya, me and that phone hate each other, and even the custom roms and kernels don't help that much.
