Got my 2nd replacement slide today & still problems!

So today I got my 2nd slide in the mail...My slide is having keyboard/wiggle problems so I called an they sent me another one which when I recieved that one it had the exact same problem but much worse, so I called um an they sent me another one again which I just got and guess what this one has same problem, although not as bad (yet), AND it has horrible lights leaks coming thru the screen AND light coming thru the front cover! WTF.
Should I call an get another one sent an try yet again to get a good one OR should I tell um i want something else an if so will they send me something diff or am I only gonna be able to replace it with the same phone?
I like this phone very much but damn if I cant one that looks and works right I may have to sell it on Craigslist an find something else. Im not picky I just want my moneys worth from a phone that cost me $300 an that when I got worked great. Feel me?
What would yall do?

i would try to get a different phone, as been reading around here i saw couple threads say the camera has degrading issue too

I'd ask for a Vibrant. That's just me though... After that many replacements they have to understand that giving you a different phone is in their best interests, ya know. I haven't experienced any problems with my Slide but I am expecting to run into some... I may go ahead and try to sell mine now before it screws up, and get myself a Vibrant (though, I've heard that has been having its share of issues as well). Either that or wait to see what phones are coming out for the big fall release (the rumored Vision seeming likely). But yeah I'd say ask for something else.

Wait until september the g1 blaze and mytouch hd come out in september

Rumers.....

Im gonna call them today an see what they say. They will prob want to just send me another slide but i may just tell not to. My sister got the new Vibrant so I played with that yesterday and decided that, although its a very nice phone, its not what I want at all. Ive got an Ipone now that I sometimes use and that Vibrant is pretty similar and im tired of that kind of phone. Which is another reason I really want this MyTouch to be a good phone. Ill let yall know what they say. Thanks for your thoughts.

Let me know what they say about giving you a different phone. I'm on my 3rd slide and I'm think I just want the galaxy untill something better comes out in a couple months.

yeah..u should just get a new phone or something? vibrant !

Ok so I called um and this time they told me to go to a store an show them what im talking about an see if they can replace or fix it there. Well I know they cant fix it cause it isnt something like that an I doubt they give me a brand new one when Im there SO I bet ill be calling um back tomorrow after I leave the tmoile store so they can send me another one. Hope fully the next one wont be messed up. Well see...

Did you ask about getting a different replacement phone besides the slide??
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Didnt really have a chance to ask um that cause the guy was persistant on me taking it to a tmobile store. Im thinking bout calling them back an seeing what another rep says I should do cause the tmobile store by me is in the mall an I hate the mall. Plus he said he didnt think they could give me a brand new one I would have to get a refurbished one, which is another reason I think I should just call um again im pretty sure they only have new ones at the store, although I could be wrong.

Good luck. I'm on my third Slide for various connection and MMS/SMS problems. This phone is just a piece of ****. So far, the only thing they have wanted to replace it with is a Blackberry Bold. Not quite going to cut it.

Well I decided to go ahead and keep the replacement phone they sent me that has the small light leaks. My bf said he cant barely see what im talking about. Plus ive already rooted, flashed and installed a custom rom on this new one an its running good. Guess I can learn to look past the light leaks. Ill prob end up selling this one on Craigslist soon as Tmobile comes out with something better later this year.

Wow so sorry about the late reply, I have actually just rooted my phone and it was surprisingly painless. It took me less than 10 minutes and I was done. I am actually still running the stock ROM and I haven't really seen any ROM that makes me want to change that. What ROM(s), if any, caught your attention?
[edit]
I am now running CM OC806 kernel as well
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Well I'm running Eugenes version of froyo now an I like it the best so far now. Besides the camara being a bit slower an maybe a couple other things none of which are bad enough to remember right now, this rom is pretty stable.

That's cool. I want to see some screen shots of what his ROM has on it. I'm going to do a search and try to find some. I'd like to flash a stable ROM to my phone, I've just been slacking

I love the mt3gs!! no matter all the phones coming out, this is a good phone... i just asked for a 3rd one and it was great!

Your on your 3rd slide and you think that's great? I'm trying to get rid of my slide now I'm selling it on Craigslist for $200 an so far all I've been offered are trades for an iPhone 3g which I already have. I'm done with this phone an ready for something better. Hopefully someone will buy it from me.before they come.out with new phones cause if not there's no way Im gonna be able to sell this thing.

Poll: Are you going to return your G2?

I'm not trying to flame or troll or piss off anyone. I think it would just be useful to have some stats on the matter of G2 remorse now that the remorse period for many of us is coming to a close.

Isnt there already a post like this? Im staying with mine.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

I still have 8 days remorse left. I'm still undecided. I paid full retail price for the phone that's why..

If the Vibrant's Froyo OTA really fixes the GPS issue then I'll consider it. Super AMOLED screen + superior GPU + GPS fix + root = win. I really would have loved the G2, I just can't get over the POS hinge. I'd even prefer a plastic phone with a sturdy hinge.
But if I switched to the Vibrant, I would miss HSPA+.
I'll wait and see if there's a Gingerbread announcement this week.

Well my wife has the vibrant and the gps works fine.
The hinge isn't a problem for me so far. The main thing is I love how responsive this phone is. No lag what so ever.

Got a few more days left of remorse...
Thinking of maybe returning it then get that new my touch that's coming out soon. That front facing camera is my only thing missing with the G2. Other than that I love this phone...upgrading from G1 so having this phone is so much faster and so smooth.
Btw, paid full price too.

I don't think anybody knows yet.
I can't answer this poll because I don't have my G2 yet, but I'm paying retail for mine, and it's doubtful I will be so disappointed in it that I'd return it.

I got my phone on the first and havnt had a single problem. It hasnt rebooted a single time, my hinge doesnt open when upside down, I can go about 2 days without charging (I use my phone quite a bit), and coming from the G1, wouldnt trade it for anything else

Lack of full root and crappy hinge.... but still a awesome phone I wouldn't get anything else coming out right now
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

I am confused between the G2 oh Vibrant

To everyone that is thinking about returning your phone for root reasons.. what makes you think that the MytouchHD or any newer phones coming out will be able to get root working if we havnt got root working on the G2 YET! its just a matter of time before someone cracks the code. Many people thrashing the G2 because it hasnt got root yet if ignorant to the fact that almost all new phones that come out will have some kind of security measure. So if your returning your phone for my MytouchHD goodluck to you my friends, impatience will be the death of you.

Definitely gonna keep mine. The hinge is working out just fine for me, never had it open or close on me. I came from the Nexus One and love how much more responsive the G2 is. I also love having a keyboard although I found the G1 keyboard faster to type on.
Only cons that bug me are the fact that the keyboard doesn't have separate number keys (like the G1) and that you can't force the keyboard backlighting to turn on every time you use it. That light sensor crap is getting a little annoying when the back lighting keeps going on and off in dim light. Otherwise I'm very happy. Paid full price as well.

Has anyone gotten it to be fully rooted? I see some people complaining about the processor but from what i read from a pre release was that it had the new qualcom scorpion processor that is under clocked to 800mhz because the graphics chipset was amazing and could handle more then any phone out there. So if a full root could be done then a over clock would be cool to see it run at its full 1.3 ghz that the scorpion processor is capable of. The only reason i would never get one is because its a gsm phone and tmobile in my area blows and at&t just sucks period with their plans and basing everything twards the inferior iphone.

Yeah in my opinion, besides the root on Vibrant, is the G2 lacking anything from it? I think overall, maybe 75% of all G2 user haven't had that GPS issues.. and that's what that update recently did, right? If not wrong.. and compare to screens, who here is a dedicated phtographer or so call-it that the screen has to be perfect, it works just fine.. for a the purpose of a phone is. I really think Nokia is the one that focus on resolution more than anyone else.. I think that when they make the phone they focus on features more than camera pixels.. more with what a phone can do and rather than what the screen or resolution can improve.. weird, if I think about it maybe.. but me saying

Well I will say I'm super impressed with the super amoled screen on the epic the one that was a bit over hype is the iphone 4 retna display. Screens don't sell phones hardware and functionality do and not many phones can compete with htc sence ui! Since the first hero showed up its been the benchmark for being very asteticly pleasing and very useful. I'm sure once you guys gain full root access you will love the g2's as much as everyone with a g1 did. I miss my g1 still even the epic is not the same the keyboard on the g1 IMO is the best to date on a phone period. Give the g2 achance we have all been waiting for it sice they announced the hero I'm sure it will take off and pack a punch in the android phone market. (Hopeing its not another nexus 1 fail)

Bye Bye Inc Hello Inc2 - not by choice (Ins)

An fyi for those out there in love with your og dinc! Be careful with it I accidentally ran mine over and Asurion is replacing them with DInc2s, Im not sure how I feel about it yet as i wont get my hands on it for a couple of days as im out of town and wont be home until late tomorrow luckily I had a spare phone and my tablet
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA Premium App

I wished that happened to me. I had to go through that process, but they still sent me a Dinc.

The 2 isn't bad now that its permanently rooted and they've got AOSP roms (CM7, MIUI) as well as sense ones, if that's what you're in to. It seems pretty responsive and the screen looks pretty nice too, blacks aren't as good as my AMOLED incredible, but aside from that it looks good to my eyes.

Its a decent enough looking phone an all im just not sure what im gonna do i may just sell the inc2 and keep the x (my backup phone) even though im not a big fan of the droid x ill see after i get cm7 on it...

It seems that the DInc2 is better than the DInc... except I prefer amoled over super LCD... but that's the only downfall really...
But is it definite that Asurion will give out DInc2 instead of the DInc? Cause... maybe my phone will break all of a sudden...

Does Asurion replace phones that aren't completely dead but have other issues? My phone is rebooting and shutting down on its own, at random.

No it doesn't matter, that is what Assurion is for, they handle replacements that are not covered by your warranty. So if you brick your phone and can recover it, they replace it after you pay your deductible.

Good to know, wasn't sure to what extent they would cover. Thank you

There's a new deductible isn't there? Any idea what it is now? I cracked the glass around the side of my phone the first week, and have been babying it for the last year. The touch screen is now having issues, but I'm just not sure i want to part with my phone.

How long were you left without a telephone? I'm assuming all this was done through mailorder.?

I'm in the same boat as you.. Love this damn thing.

Leaving EVO, hello ns4g

So after all this time using an EVO since ship date, Sprint and HTC blew it with this gb update. Getting a comparable device without losing my upgrade, was a huge plus for me to move on to this.
It wasn't the of root. It was the lack of testing, and caring about the users of this phone, the 30 second update that went on while I slept, the 2 replacements that randomly revolted every 3+hrs just everything I hope the ns4g is better.
Must say, its been a great run.

My wife has had 2 replacement evos in the past month due to broken usb port. I wish at this point they'd just offer a nexus

My camera is being retarded and after 2 or 3 pics my phone reboots. I'm hoping sprint will offer me a ns4g.

Are you using a stock Evo? If so, call and ask if they'll upgrade you. I don't think they're reading this and cross-referencing your username to your account.

When you call for a replacement, state that you are not physically able to make it to a sprint repair center: wheelchair bound, etc, whatever your excuse may be, as wrong as that seems, it's the only way to get them to MAIL the replacement to you, express that you've had the device replaced 1+ times, and that you spoke to a manager who told you, you were eligible for a like or comparable replacement, they will offer you the evo shift, ns4g, and all the other low-end devices.
This is up to you form here on.
This bypass's the reps at the store.
Foot note: make sure you do this with TECH SUPPORT!

They are so lame to make us go into the stores anyway. It's very annoying. however on my side... I've been lucky. never once have had an issue. my last phone I even changed out my own touch screen. :-D then when I got my evo. I got a hammer and killed my last phone. hahahha

haha, I wish. I've had nothing but issues out of my evo

I got some pretty bad light leaks under the home,back, and search buttons to where it looks like the metal around the bottom of the phone is white. I have heard you can get a replacement for light leakage but does or would this qualify?
who cares what this says anyways

sounds like some here have the new phone itch.. after the new phones come out all kinds of defects are found on our current phones..
ha ha.. I suffer from it..

Just tell them your phone randomly reboots lol.

Good luck with the Nexus. I have had two and sold them both. (traaded in my OG Evo.) The Nexus phones have all kinds of issues, including miserable battery life, bad radios causing dropped calls, taking 6 hours to charge the battery, flimsy plastic construction, etc.
I ended up with an Evo 3D, and so far, so good. It's nice to have a fast phone with a large screen, but somewhat more narrow than the original Evo.
Go to the Sprint site and see the Nexus user reviews vs. either of the Evos. It's no contest.
Good luck.

Thanks, and I always have 2 more evo's lol.

I don't have any of these problems. I have a rooted EVO 4G in the drawer and a Sprint upgrade ready to be claimed. Other Android phones I have are the N1 and Atrix 4G, bought the 3D as a gift for my dad as well. Right now the NS4G is the only Android phone that I'd use.

I told them that and they told me I need a task killer app because there apps staying open causing my phone to reboot. It has done it but not lately. I do want a different phone since I can't root this one and I just got it like 3-4 weeks ago. So not so much a new phone just one that isn't locked. If the EVO gets root I would keep it but with all the rumors going around that it won't or it maybe October or never I don't want to wait 2 years to get a phone I can root.

[Q] New VZ LG G2 - shows "Rooted" out of box?!?

Got my new LG G2 on Thursday - enjoying things so far, no complaints... Except I looked under status, and my phone says "Rooting status: Rooted"... Anyone else experience that?
I haven't tried to do anything to it (yet), aside from accepting the OTA update... The only other curveball so far was that activation took awhile, the SIM it came with didn't match the order paperwork, and I had to figure that out for myself...
Looking for everyone's thoughts and/or guidance about what to do... On the one hand, I might root it myself once I am certain I am keeping it. On the other hand, I am worried what would happen if the phone develops issues and I needed to return it or whatnot..

Send it back asap and tell then the phone is used and how you know it's used.

Yea it's a restock at a non corporate store...somebody paid the 35 bucks to get VZN to wipe and put back in the box. That's why they won't let you leave without a screen protector. ..or at least keep suggesting one till you say sure now stfu

Tell them you'll keep it, but you know it was a return, so you want a partial refund.

Did your phone have all the plastic on it when you unboxed it? Should have been 2 on the metal outer ring. One around the camera. One over the back buttons. Front.back. and bottom of back. (Last one is some type of retail sticker or something. Didn't really read it. Just ripped it off and threw it out)

Sure didn't look like a restock. Had all the plastic: front, back, 2x along the sides, camera, buttons... I ordered it online and it was shipped to me; wouldn't that reduce chances it was a restock, or am i missing something...?

Not on the same phone, but I had a gnote 2 that came pre-bootloader unlocked. No screen cracks, nothing. It was sweet.

hmm. maybe they are preping a pre-rooted one for vzw? LOL ... who am i kidding. they would never do that.

Just after the phone was released, someone else posted that their phone said that it was rooted as well. If you're going to root anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. If not, you may want to exchange it (unless you want to revert to stock yourself - there's a thread that tells how to do that too).
Edit: here's the thread I was talking about. Read from post #20.
