So I'm on my third shift in two months and I've had it with this phone. First two had touch screen issues and now the third one when I slide out the keyboard the hinges are like grinding. Last time I spoke with a Sprint rep he told me there was only a certain amount of replacement phones allowed and then they would upgrade me. Will this force me to use my upgrade early? I don't really want to use my upgrade early unless I can upgrade again in 6 months when my original contract is up. I would rather wait for the new motorola slider to come out before using my upgrade. And I don't want to have to pay like $200 yet for a new phone/contract. So what are all of my options, or do you think they'll offer a slight upgrade for free like a evo 3d or something?
Well I left sprint yesterday and was shocked that the only htc device they have is the EVO 4G lte. The evo3d and evo design have both been discontinued and pulled from the shelves... Insurance is your only option for a shift and they are on back order... Not exactly a great situation for a shift owner...

That's peculiar.. I remember a thread just like this a few months ago..
Again maybe I remind people you can buy a used shift if you want to..
drob I thought you switched to the Evo LTE? You decided to leave Sprint?
Vicodan there's one thread called on my second shift lmao. Yeah Sprint knows I'm fed up with all these shifts being on back order and not having a working phone for weeks at a time and then sending me crappy refurbs that only last a week or so. That's why they told me they would upgrade me after two or three replacements even with insurance. I'm almost with drob on leaving Sprint

Hey I'm about 7 or 8 shifts in. Just call HTC directly and find the right person.
Haha probably too late for that now.

If you do take it in, and they start giving you ISH. Do what I do, while your still standing there call Sprint. Let them know the situation, and that the CS Rep in the store isn't helping you resolve the issue. What I've found out the GD hard way, is that the people in the store are not even remotely trying to help you. They're usually on direct orders from the Store Manager to basically put you off. Or try and get you to go through insurance. The stores bottom line is their main concern, not you. I've actually had a store Rep tell me there was nothing he could do to help me. Then I tell him I have Sprint on the phone, and they'd like to speak with them. Then all of a sudden the story changes.
I'm still on my first Shifty, but it is finally beginning to have problems. The touch screen is acting very weird. It acts as if my finger is constantly touching the top portion of the screen.
It will open whatever app is up there, if any, and click through every button within the app on that part of the screen. All while I am not even touching the screen. If I try to back out of the screen or hit home it will just do it again over and over, like I'm hitting the same area over and over.
If I smack the phone off the palm of my hand it stops...lol
What carrier and what device are you thinking of changing to Sparksco?

If you can start with kernels. They're a little easier in terms of not having to deal with c++
Plus I think your efforts show more when you have your own custom kernels in the roms.

That's not even an Evo, the camera is in the wrong place on the back and there's a touchpad circle thingy on the front at the bottom.
That's an HTC Incredible
Wow, pretty bad. I'm not sure if I would even bid on it, as i looks like it was run over.

How often do they not have replacement phone at assurion?
coming next.... true unlimited data goes away. after that price increases to match the competition. i'm done with sprint. my service has been too shoddy recently in areas that other companies have been good (including ATT) if i'm going to end up paying the same amount as those companies i'm jumping ship.

The first time someone sucsesfully pulls this, I garuantee there will be a massive thread. That's how I got a diamond (they were out of the vogue) and a tp2 (they were out of touch pro 1s)
It happens. Thbey usually will be out of stock for a few days while they are awaiting refurbs and will have to offer something from the authorized exchange list.

Seriously Texas? u just had to bring in the inside joke?lol
Got to bring the wife's epic into Sprint for a hardware issue. It appears the phone speaker isn't working. Thought it was Cm7 issue but flashed back to stock EL30 (btw thanks to who ever got that for us) with modem still no sound at all. Copied all her data off onto the computer formated the card then copied some stuff back like her pictures and music. Hopefully they won't give me a hard time I am paying for the extended. I am kind of hoping they will offer a upgrade to the touch.
Any suggestions would be grateful.
Good luck!
Gotta figure out the angle to take. Whether to pull a complete phone "What's root? Is that some kind of new Pokemon?" angle. Or the "Yeah I am alright with Android, I just hit a bump. Help me out?"
I usually play stupid. With the added nicety.
You should be fine on the service issue. Good luck on the upgrade attempt.

Our headset speaker broke. I bought another one on eBay, split the display, replaced the speaker and it still didn't work. Took it to sprint, paid $35 and they swapped the entire display /top slider. They said they don't split the display as the policy is to swap put the entire piece. Problems solved go us
Oh yeah, I also had no insurance and was well over a year onto ownership of the phone.

It's been two weeks and Im finally calling it quits and getting a new one. Im considering sending it out if anyone wants to play with it, if you fix it I may be able to buy it from you at a reasonable price. But my main question is, does anyone want it?
stop!
Just wannna make sure you know how assurion works:
1. report a phone as broken
-required to send in device
-100 dollar deductible
2. report devices as lost
-phone blacklisted from all further sprint services, bad esn
-100 dollar deductible
3. report device as stolen
-require police report
-100 dollar deductible
-black listed esn.

Hmmmm, fry the board and get a so called "upgrade" or just keep my tried and true epic until my next official upgrade. Decisions decisions.

Was tryna a few things with the parts of the 2phones I had. Then realised something n I got 2 new/refurbd epics for the return of 1 yesterday n 2day...didn't wana do it to them butthey owed me for a claim I didn't need to make with asurion in nov. So sprint were kinda even (not really). But they should last until or pay for my next upgrade

hmm was it SRF 1.1 with vision kernel 1.0 that had a nice time bricking epics? i think mine lasted about a week on that kernel because of the ram under volts or something. i just got my epic replaced a week ago though, so i cant get this one replaced for a little bit. but it loves cm9. (it didnt have to get replaced for software reasons, it had some water damage about a year ago that i didnt really worry about, but the microphone was toasted, so i had to yell for anyone to hear me. but it got replaced as just having a bad mic. =) )
edit: was it VisionKernel 1.2 or Twilight Kernel 1.0.2? both were removed i cant remember which one it was though, but it took about 2 weeks and then it was bricked.
saw this in the comments thread... that would be areal bummer, IMO
Nah the Epic replacement is that new LG slider that just leaked. The 4" dual core 1.2 GHz one.

I think it was 1.2 I was so new then that I stuck with SRF 1.1 and Vision 1.0 and left well enough alone then got comfy with flashing and sorts. SRF was my first ROM.

That would SUCK! Would mean I would have to get one of these for the wife. Then I am going to stick with Sammy but might go with GNex if I don't like the specs of the "GS3"

Same here this is my first Sprint phone.
EDIT: The funny thing is they are still asking 99 bucks for on contract for this phone. At least at the store I was in last weekend.
Does this mean supply of og epic will be dwindling? What about warranty replacement? Will they go with epictouch?

I don't want to start a whole arguement as it already had long time ago. But I never had problems with my Epic and he did warn everyone just like your supposed to say in the OP before flashing anything.
My Epic had no issues with any of his kernels not to mention it was the best for my phone. I mean I could Undervolt that sucker big time. For ex. 100 MHz was Uv'ed down to 450mV and still worked running that low.
Vision 1.2 ran on my phone for more than 2 weeks and still had no problems.

Nearly 2 years before going EOL, not bad at all....
Even if you have to have a DHRP ordered for you by a Sprint S&R store or one of their ASCs, it'll be quite awhile before Sprint runs out of refurbished Samsung Epic 4Gs as replacements. Part of the reason they have an abundant supply of refurbished handsets people is because Sprint is proactive in their corporate retail stores to have their L/RCs buy back customers D700s for credit during a handset upgrade. They've been doing the same thing with the HTC EVO 4G, EVO 3D as well as the EVO Shift 4G, all frequent handsets showing up for repair in the S&R and ASCs.

I loved both of those kernels, they were fast as hell. And I wasn't really worried when my phone bricked, as I had insurance lol. I also had backups, so I didn't lose much. I was actually jokingly making a suggestion for getting phones replaced through TEP using the kernel that bricked phones. I don't remember which one it was for sure though, but there was a massive thread about it back in the day, and the cause of the bricks was too much RAM under voltage for some of our phones. But I still went back to that kernel when I got my new phone, just not that version of it lol
