[Q] Cracked MT4G screen, need some opinions.

Hey guys,
I'm new to the website, new to android but loving it so far.
I would really appreciate any opinions here. My girlfriend and I both bought our phones about a month ago. Mine has the tmobile extended warrenty (which is not something I would usually get, but it's a new phone plan and I can cancel so I said yes for now) hers does not. Well of course (I saw it coming) she dropped her phone and has a terrible crack down the screen.
I was wondering if anyone has an opinions on what I should do
Are there any good screen replacement sites anyone has tried that are trust worthy? Or would a better option be purchasing the screen myself and trying to install it (not sure how difficult something like this would be but wouldn't mind the challenge if it is a viable option)
Last thing I was thinking was just filing a lost phone claim for my phone and paying the deductible which is $130 dollars.
Anyway any help would be awesome, thanks.

I used to work for HTC based here in Houston, TX.
We repaired and refurbished all HTC phones for ATT, Tmo and so on and so forth.
It's not easily done at home. Especially with phones that had touch screens.
Torque screwdrivers to get the right tightness, air compressors to clear dust from the screen and other tools needed to separate parts of the phone without damaging them.
In my opinion, and it's not a professional one,claim the lost and pay the 130.
It's easier than going through all the trouble.
And from the only site I came across, they sold digitizers/lcd for 99.99 I believe.
I don't remember the site though. I've already deleted the bookmark.
Hope this helps.

But if you claim a lost phone can't they find out that you're lying because they can see that your sim is still in that phone?

You'd have to call Tmo and freeze your SIM, which means you'd need a new one.
You can talk yourself out of having to pay for a new sim card. (Trust me.)
They can even make a note of it and you can pick it up at a Tmo corporate retail store.
But you would have to take the new phone for yourself and the old one for your girl.
Just better played that way.

and what if they freeze it based of the IMEI which isn't on your sim... then you would pay 130 for nothing...

You would need to really lose your phone. Asurion isn't dumb and they will prosecute for fraud. Just an fyi if you do start using the same phone again that was lost its gonna be bad.

Thanks for the replys so far, how about sites like upicom.com
Has anyone had any experience with something similar?
I think that claiming my phone lost would be too risky.

They can't freeze a phone, it doesn't belong to them. The SIM is a different story.
You're suggesting something that doesn't make sense.
But anyway. An opinion was asked for and I gave it.
Sorry if this is causing some drama.
Good luck.

I would like it hear from as many people as possible, obviously the final decision is mine to make.
I had a couple iphones before this mytouch, caseless and had no problems bc I took care of it. She didnt make is past the third week...

That sucks man.
I was just out at Upicom to look at some iphones for my wife.
The guy I talked to out there seemed really knowledgeable.
I'd say give them a try. Via their website it says they fix the MT4G LCD for 130.
Good luck.

IMHO
i would just call tmobile, tell them your phone fell and has a cracked screen.
use your warranty for your gf phone, and ship back the cracked one once you receive the replacement. No fraud, and your on the clear.

Don't do asurion. The deductible is 130 yes but they also have too approve your claim. And you have to pay an extra 50 if your claim gets processed

You don't pay extra for the claim its 130 regardless

"Limited Time Offer"

Well my Slide crapped out on me for the second time, and since I pay the $5/month protection I called t-mobile to get my free one. Catching me completely offguard, the representative said t-mobile was having a limited time offer and I could upgrade to a mytouch 4g for free, or get a refurbished slide if i wanted. Well of course I took him up for the free 4g phone. Why would t-mobile ever do this if they still have refurbished Slides? I'll take it though

Seriously? What tips/talking points did you use, that might help the rest of us get a similar result?

Similar story here except I don't pay for the extra t-mobile protection. My slide has a hardware issue so the store offered me a refurbished slide or I could pay for a MyTouch 4g for 250$. I denied and told them to just send me a refurbished slide. 5 mins into the call and the T-mobile lady helping me out tells me that they are just going to send me a refurbished 4g. I told her that is great and I hope shes not pulling my leg! She look shocked and said "nope!". I called T-mobile the next day to confirm and sure enough a 4g is on its way to me.

Well I am in a chat right now, will see if I can make that happen. My wife has a Slide and would LOVE a MT4G.
EDIT: Ok I need some help. Do I only mention warranty covered issues? Or do I say the screen got cracked or something? What did you guys do. The guy in the chat gave me Asurion's contact info and sent me packing.

Hey just received my 4g today. Basically I went to a tmobile store and showed them my phone ( front buttons unresponsive). Once the tmobile clerk called customer care to send a refurbished 3g, they informed her that I could just get a refurbished 4g. I agreed and the deal was done.
I don't think a cracked screen counts to be replaced though...since that isnt hardware failure.
However, you can let customer care guy know that your friends were offered a free upgrade to refurbished 3g's ( if it is hardware related ) Good luck!

Damnit!!!
People had mentioned having the $5 insurance thing, so I assumed since they mentioned that they were invoking an insurance replacement, not a warranty replacement.
Maybe I will try again. My wife's phone actually isn't cracked or anything, but it does have a few actual issues that I think would/should be covered under warranty.
If I try again, I will let everyone know the results. I of course never mentioned anything about anyone else getting the deal. I'm hoping it's an issue they are already aware of internally, maybe they are out of refurb Slides...

Well that was less fruitful than I would have liked... I went through the whole process of troubleshooting and the rep indicated that she would have a replacement sent to me and said it would be a Mytouch Slide... GRRRR
Oh well, such is life.

My GF brought up something I thought I should mention. It's possible that it's region specific. Just an idea

I've been haggling them for a 4G on the basis of the lack of updates for the Slide. A rep told me last night that she didn't know if an update for the Slide would ever be released. They offered me a loyalty upgrade (not free, but not full price) everytime I called. With all of this urgency to offer the 4G to Slide customers, I think the Slide has officially been kicked to the curb by T-Mobile.

Yeah, they send me the 4g and I just put the Slide it the same box and send it back, pretty painless. I'm not sure how the offer worked, I didn't haggle or whine or anything, as soon as I told him my phone wasn't working he instantly offered me the 4g. He also made it seem like it was an offer for everyone that had been going on for a little while. I'm guessing they go through quite a few refurbs since the phone is so crappy, maybe they're running low and the new stock isn't coming in for a while? They might not even make new Slides anymore.

I think its only for the black? Is that so?

as long as we have great devs to keep the slide alive and kicking, who needs t-mobile?
these big corporations are all out to make money at the end of the day. so you can't expect them to keep updating devices, because then you will never buy a new phone

Damn, my H key has been unresponsive every once in a while and I haven't felt like going through the return process. So after reading this I called them almost immediately.
No luck They are sending me a refurb slide. I even asked if there was any 4g upgrade offers going on and he said none that he knew of.
OP, is this the first time you returned your slide? I've had mine since launch week and this is my first time getting a replacement.

G2 owners get free Mytouch 4g Slides

According to Android Spin here: http://androidspin.com/2011/06/02/mytouch-4g-slide-caught-on-camera-sense-3-0-and-android-2-3-4/
since G2 reached EOL they'll begin to stop holding Tmobile G2 warrenty replacements...so they'll give us Mytouch 4G slides if our g2's "break".. (and probably give us warranty on those)...
SO MUCH WIN!!!!1!one!!eleven!

I just read about the whole EOL thing on Engadget..and JUST bought a G2 from my local Craigslist yesterday to replace my failing HD2..damn.

Warranty doesn't carry over if you buy from craigslist, I've tried. Unless theres a loophole I don't know.

im considering it my biggest issue with it is that it so ugly its like they looked at the mytouch4g and said what tweaks can we make to make this look worse maybe ill can talk them into a sensation at least that phone looks really nice

The mytouch line all look cheesy in my opinion. The G2 is much more slick. I don't understand why you are all freaking out about EOL (except warranty replacement). We will still get software updates in our custom ROMs, even if they have to be ported from another device.

Incorrect, its all based on the imei number. If its less then a year old then u still have the manufacture warranty. My last two phones I bought on craigslist and I sent them into tmobile for a replacement.

Nope. Right now the only replacement device t-mobile will send instead of a g2 is an HTC hd2 or a moto cliq 2. Last month it was the mt4g hd2 or another one that was garbage.
Chances that you will get any phone with a dual core as a replacement right now is slim to none....emphasis on none. This is coming from the person that went thru 4 g2 refurbished in about one week. I went thru all of the possible alternatives. They explained the process and how the devices are chosen....and new devices are not an option. Otherwise peopple would be getting free upppgrades constantly.

Does this apply to Assurion too? Because I remember when I lost my N1 they gave me a Galaxy S in it's replacement.

I upgraded from an HD2 to the G2 I'll just add if they EVER tried to 'downgrade' me to a cliq 2, Tmobile doesn't get one more penny from me. Ever.

[Q] MyTouch 4G Slide replacement for Asurion/Tmobile phones?

does anyone know if they are replacing warranty issues from tmobile, or warranty claims with asurion for the G2 with the myTouch4g slide?

I hope so, I would love to get a free upgrade. My screen has been slowly messing up and I have been waiting for this to be verified before I call in for warranty replacement.
If anyone knows it to be true or false it would be great to know either way.

Wow.. i don't know where u are getting your info -- hopefully your not dreaming - !!!. I wanted to ask, would u think a fair trade / upgrade / exchange if a mytouch 4g (no slide) was given for a G2 ? And if not - how much cash should be added.
Aside from the fact of the keyboard of course...
Thanks

Definitely not, at least not as of today at 5 oclock. I just talked to a tmo rep about my phone having issues and they are sending me a G2 replacement tomorrow. I asked half joke/half serious if they could send me a mytouch and the guy laughed and basically told me they aren't in the same league. An 800 single core vs a 1.2 dual, a pretty standard basic camera vs an 8mp one with HDR built in. Yeah, it'd be nice but keep on dreaming.

Exactly there is going to be no way in hell that you would get that phone as a replacement especially since has not been released yet. Maybe in another 6 months but then g2 out of warranty by then.

Any idea what the partial upgrade price would be?

I talked to the local tmo store and after giving them the "I've been a customer since 2000, blablabla" spiel they said they might be able to work out a replacement deal once the MT4GS hits stores on the 27th. I told them I loved my G2 but that I was concerned about "all of the problems" it has been having (in quotes because mine has been solid since day 1) and that I wanted a more future-proof device (does that exist in the technology industry?).
just talk to them.. they're human beings. they have policies, and policies can be bent to make the customer happy, especially if you pay your bill on time and have a good track record with them on not losing devices, not many replacements, etc.

I talked to the loyalty department. They wouldn't give me one penny off, I've been a member for 6+ years, never missed a payment, had one warranty replacement on my G2. I mentioned "all the problems" ive been having with my G2 and soforth and they told me to eat ****.

This whole myTouch 4G slide as a G2 replacement thing has been taken out of context I believe. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get upgraded to the mt4gs but I seriously doubt that is ever gonna happen. Even though our beloved G2's have been labled 'end of life' there are still hordes of refurbished ones that asurion and tmo will use for warranty replacements rather than lose money replacing it with a next generation phone.

I would personally call that a downgrade :/ It's essentially the same hardware without a physical keyboard.... The screens could (arguably) be considered better and you have a bit more ram but tell me one time you couldn't run something on your G2 because of lack of ram because in a year with mine it has never happened.

Main Goal Is To Get the 4gSlide..(One Step Closer You can say,Since they wont be able to offer the G2 anymore since its EOL)(They Granted Me time to Play With the Phone and can change my mind)
Id Rather Get A Brand New Mytouch4g Then a Refurbished G2(Had Many issues with the 4 replacements i have received)..
I love my G2 but Time For a Change..

they're still throwing around the MT3GS so I don't see that happening any time soon... Would be nice though

While I understand what you guys are doing, if you want a new phone go buy one. HTC put out a great product, don't call TMobile making up issues and making it seem like a pos just to get a free upgrade.
We all love to stick it to "the man", but grow up guys. Off contract phones are expensive, but if you are that impatient that's what they are there for.

G2 Replacement Not the same.

Hello all I have had problems with my g2, it overheats alot. So I called tmobile to get a replacement and they said they would send me a mytouch 4g. Is this a good enough replacement for my phone beside it not having a keyboard or should I tell them to send me a g2 again.

The MT4G is about the same as the G2, except it runs natively at 1ghz, and has 768mb of RAM. (and the keyboard, of course).
Assuming you're going to root either way, the stock software isn't a problem.

they won't give him a MT4G Slide. Especially for his 1st replacement.

to late they already sent me a mytouch 4g i should receive it tomorrow. I wanna know will they send me the mytouch charger and such or do I have to use the charger that came with my g2

I'd guess they'll just send you the phone in one of those replacement boxes, BUT...if it's a different model they'll have to send you the whole phone with battery and back cover, so maybe they'll give the stock box and all to you. Guess this didn't really help, I'll be interested to see what they give you.

Its not just HTC, microUSB chargers across the world are standardized

Well they gave me a brand new mytouch4g with everything. I can tell you after having the g2 for awhile the screen on this is really nice, plus I can view it outside in the daytime now.

I can't think of a single phone I would trade for my G2

No it was brand new in the case and everything as if I went to the store and bought it. It came in the Official my touch wrapper and all

I'm 99% sure its refurb. They repackage them in the same packaging.

Can you comment on the battery life of the mytouch compared to the g2? i've read alot of reviews and I see that the mytouch has a noticeable better battery life.

The g2 is always on the bottom so I am about to call them and get a replacement because my screen is acting up and I might just take what ever they offer me since i could use a little more battery.
