What's got me puzzled is that I was told that sprints still out of evos.. new and refurbished? I'm a bit pulled on this could have something to do with what's going on in Japan?
I understand the evo/android is popular but to still be out of stock is crazy
from my phone duh
Don't the Sprint repair center carry replacements so even if they are out of stock you might still get one?
And yes, it blows me away the phone is still hard to get

Sprint or Asurion? Or both? Asurion told me 14 days when I needed a replacement but actually got it to me in about 10. When I did get the phone, it was brand new and not a refurb, which made me happy and the well worth the wait.

I dont get this either. I just received a letter in the mail stating the insurance is going up $1 / month. When I need a replacement EVO I need it now. Not tomorrow. /End Rant
I'm actually going to pick up my replacement EVO today, it did take a few extra days do to back orders, but it's in now.
I had the same issue, screen pulling away, this will be my third.
It's crazy to me when I hear people having so many replacements. Are you guys really that unlucky... or are you that hard on your phones?

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.

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.

Sprint.com is out of stock for them. Getting it replaced when they come back in stock, in about 10 days or so.
So... TODAY, I finally got my fascinate exactly how I want it.
Im running SC2.9.2V... Midnight Steel Theme... All my apps set....
everything running great. Best its ever been.
So, what happens...
The phone is sitting on the console of my car... Minding its own business... Some guy cuts me off and it falls between the small crack between my seat and the console. So, I park... get out of the car... and start to move the seat back and i hear CRACKKKKKKK......
So, I start moving the seat forward... Somehow, get my hand under the seat and pull out my phone... Screen is completely Cracked... ARGHHHHH
I have the Bestbuy insurance, so they will replace it, but now I have to start all over again.. Rooting... Installing... blah blah blah...
Ok... I feel slightly better now...
Gonna call Bestbuy now and start the replacement process
...good luck with that, most insurance policies through retailers don't cover cracked screens...
OK.. more VENTING
So, I call BB...
1... They tell me my plan was cancelled back in Dec... The Credit Card I had on file had expired and they couldnt bill it
2... They can not re-instate the policy because its over 3 months since cancellation
3... I had planned on telling them that I lost the phone, but it turns out that they dont cover loss or theft..
Man... This sucks
So, turns out, I am do for an upgrade on my account. I can get a new Fascinate from Verizon or maybe I just go for the ThunderBolt.....
Hmmmm.... Now it gets interesting
CPO fascinate was going for $39.99. If you don't want to spend all that money on a Thunderbolt.

Certified Pre-Owned. Phones that come with nothing but a Battery. Also no manufacturer warranty, as far as I know.
Check them out on Verizon's website. Mine came with battery, charger, 16gb sd card, and 1 year warranty. I have had zero issue's, and the phone looked brand new.

Not a bad option!
I actually called Verizon and added the $5/month insurance...
Their insurance offers a replacement for lost phones.. the deductible is $99 for smartphones.
I cant make a claim for 30 days.
so, 31 days from today... ooops... Hello.... Verizon... I lost my phone... How do I make a claim
Its gonna be a long 30 days looking at that stupid spiderweb crack all thru the glass.

Phone works perfect. And that is totally the plan... I just need to get the new (or CPO) phone.
Its funny... I keep thinking about the guy that cut me off... The only reason I was on that road at that time, was because I happened to go to sunglasshut and bought my wife a new pair of sunglasses... She recently broke hers and was complaining that she wanted new ones. I was gonna surprise her tonight with the new pair.
See what I get for being UNSELFISH!
Had I just headed home after work, none of this would have happened. I better get some action from her tonight !
No good deed goes unpunished.

Sure... Looking back.. Of course it was a bad
But I thought the phone was between the seat and the console.. not laying on the glide track...

And... lastly... No Action.
Goodbye XDA.... Hello Youporn.
My car likes to eat my phone all the time, take a turn like Jeremy Clarkson and it goes OM NOM NOM. I think my case and zagg skin have saved it from a similar fate.
Squaretrade. Warranty service is far superior to any extended warranty. Accidental drops and handling. Water damage also covered. $99 for two years coverage with $50 deductible. They will replace your broken phone with a brand new one, or give you up to $499 for a new one.
Look them up.

Classic I know how that goes.
No doubt a cpo will work just as well but its a shame to renew a 2 year contract for a facinate now. Yea the facinate fing rocks after flashing new kernel, rom, radio, and voodooing the filetable to ext. But is this really a good time to lock into a two year contract for a preowned facinate?
E#verytime I have my phone exactly how i want it something new comes out like a new kernel or a new something and then i end up temp bricking my phone and starting all over... I guess your worse off having to get a new phone... but on the other hand you'll have a new phone!
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
It's completely messed up. I took it apart to see if the digitizer was out of place and it wasn't. It just flat out won't work. I wish I could buy a hero off someone but I have no money and now I have to deal with the LG Rumor.

Just got my blue SGS3 today and I've noticed one area where the finish appears scratched, but UNDERNEATH the glaze. Hard to photograph with my crappy old phone, but the photo makes it look less noticeable than it really is.
Should I keep it or send it back? Anyone else got this prob?
I see what you mean. Maybe that's the reason the blue was delayed in the UK?
maybe thats the issue they had for recalling all the blues. Yours slipped though the net
Blue went back for a respray .

^^ this. For a phone that costs $700, I'd think anything that looks like it shouldn't be there warrants a replacement.
Take that ish back!
Well I've called up my service provider and they've agreed to replace it with another new one - only problem is that they aren't getting another batch in for 2 weeks new one won't arrive til 27th June...
I can still keep this one til then, but it means I have to baby it/not take it out for fear of dropping it/not root it, basically treat it as a loaner.
I'm half tempted to say f*ck it, I'll just keep it - but you're all right, this is an expensive machine, I don't want a faulty paint job! Who's to say it won't get worse as well, since it's a prob with manufacturing process.

Already ahead of ya - they've agreed to waive the 2wks fees (£17) that I'll be without my "own" S3. I thought about going ape and demanding a whole month (£34), but took pity on the girl in the call centre in India.
Plus it's not really Three's fault, it's Samsung's fault. Three haven't been too bad to me so far, so I won't be an a**hole difficult customer to them until it's warranted

It's not a cheap phone and it's brand new... I wouldn't be happy with that finish either and would get it replaced.

I agree with this guy.

Already ahead of ya - they've agreed to waive the 2wks fees (£17) that I'll be without my "own" S3. I thought about going ape and demanding a whole month (£34), but took pity on the girl in the call centre in India.

You're half right it's not their fault but you didn't buy it from Samsung, you bought it from them. They have to stand by their products. And if she offered two weeks best believe she can do better

I'd recommend that you tell them your situation that you'll keep it till the new stock arrives and they ship it to you. I remember having a similar issue with my Motorola razor v9 flip phone (att USA). They sent me a new razor and asked me to return the defective phone once I've received the new one. This should work for them.
Ps: Lol looks like have a thing for Indian girls jk.

keep it and fanny about with it to your hearts content till they replace it. just remember and revert it to stock and triangle away before you post it back to them.

True, but do you honestly think they are going to open every box and inspect for bad craftsmanship? If they were part of the assembly process then sure, but they merely order en mass and then either drop ship to their customers or reship from their warehouse.
I think the OP is doing the right and ethical thing by not blowing this out of proportion. To many people these days try and milk every little "mistake" that cross their path. But to each their own, the important thing is that he is getting a replacement with no down time and a few bucks for his troubles.

Why couldn't they just have made a black model, like every other phone.

I like the pebble blue colour, a lot. I much prefer it over plain black or white

Think it has something to do with Apple, whether they want to admit it or not. Had a black version been available, I'd have gotten that one, but I've settled with the white version for now(was going for the blue version, but after seeing it in person I'm glad I went with white when the former was delayed).
It'll probably not be that long lived if the Note 2 gets released in October.
