I got The HTC One and contacted EE to cancel the contract and take the phone back as I changed my mind.
With the phonebeside me in its box, I've just had to have a play with it and now I'm gutted to be sending it back.
It's absolutely stunning, I've never seen or held such a wonderful device.
I'm wondering now as I've been sent a returns bag etc, charge it up and hope EE will let me keep it or send it back and get another one.
So... why are you sending it back?
Um yeah.... Some more details perhaps?

I got the phone but then decided my iPhone 5 would do and i'd send it back. So I cancelled the contract and they've sent me a returns bag.
Inquisitive a while ago, I just decided tol have a play around with it and now wish I hadn't cancelled.
Was wondering if I contacted them could I uncancel or simply send it back and start again.
and your point is?

Your choosing an iPhone over this superb phone, that in itself is ludicrous sorry to be so blunt but seriously cannot see the sense in that.

Just phone EE again say you changed your mind, you decided to stay with them, they would be more than happy to let you stay. I don't see why there would be any problem. Very likely they would let you keep the phone then just start a new contract, cos technically only until you returned the phone your contract is fully stopped, they may be able to reverse it at this stage.

Oh buddy thanks for the good laugh. I do understand. That would be hard but after you play with this amazing phone how could you send it back. Send them the iPhone 5 maybe they wont notice :highfive:

Haha, this is hilarious. Go on to xda to ask whether you can change your mind about cancelling a contract (or not) with EE?
Call me old fashioned, but I would be asking EE, not XDA. Maybe that's just too much common sense.

No he started a thread saying he ordered the ONE and then before getting it he changed his mind thinking he would be ok with the iphone 5 so he calls in and has them cancel the new contract and send him a return kit. He then gets the ONE and being a phone junkie like all of us on XDA he HAS to play with and realizes that he loves the ONE and does not want to use his iphone 5 anymore but as he said he already called in to cancel so what does he do??? Which has been answered so next time you wish to bash someone or talk crap maybe sharpen up on your reading comprehension skills.
Don't really think OP is trying to be a troll or anything.. i think he/she is just confused and didn't know how awesome of a phone it was till he/she used it..
Which is what you suppose to do with any new phone, you read up on it, find features you like, buy it, get used to it.. decided should you keep it..
Not order a phone, decide to return it.. then want to use it and realize its a great phone

Ok guys, weird question...my screen is totally scratched up, no idea how it happened, but I am really pissed off about it. Anyway, I have the best buy extra insurance (Black tie?). I want to brick my DX so they can give me a new one. ****ed up I know, but I am paying for it, so I might as well take advantage. How do i do, or what is the best way to make it irrecoverable?
If you bought the accidental plan, just drop in in a puddle. I told them i was gonna hack it when i bought it and they said no problem but if anything happens and I have to bring it in, I better make sure it doesnt power on at all.
Best solution, pop it in the microwave for a couple seconds. It will nit power on after that.

Hes turning in the phone, so they are able to repair it and give it to the next person that breaks their phone. This saves us cost, because the other alternative is him reporting it lost and just keeping it.
You could always do the OTA then sbf 2.1. done brick. and you dont have to break anything, and now best buy and asurion will lower our insurance costs! jk

I suggest you do the same knowing that you have already lost two of them.

So my phone has this problem of only intermittently vibrating when I get a text/call. So I got an RMA and sent it in. First off, the lost it, and took several days and several phone calls to find somebody who was able to locate my phone. They then told me that it was not under warranty because it was physical damage. They said the main board was bent. Somehow I was apparently able to bend the phone enough to bend the main board but not crack the screen or back or anything else. So they said they could sell me a phone for $179 (no way). Sounds like crap to me........ I'll be buying Samsung next time.

Except Samsung has always been on top of updates. The only time Samsung hasn't had a timely update was due to networks, namely AT&T, not approving of the update for a long time.

Hello everyone.
Today I found a brand new SGS2 on a supermarket and I took it
So I was wondering if they can track me down by GPS or something like that, if they lock the phone what's the worst that can happen ?
By the way before you judge me I didn't steal anything, like I said I found it.
If I were you I would see a lawyer and discuss this. In Germany you wouldn't have stolen it but would've been guilty of "Fundunterschlagung" which is also a crime and can and will be punished.
Tracking a phone is not that hard, there's the IMEI for example. In the very moment you use a sim card your carrier will know the IMEI of your device. So if the owner of the device reports this the police definitely can track down this very phone.
In addition you should never forget that most supermarkets have cameras.
I guess I will save you and me a discussion about the moral implications of such a behaviour.
Yeah, you're right.
I will give it tomorrow to my carrier maybe they will find in which name it is registered and give it back to the owner.
Thanks.
The answer is yes. This was not abandoned property. imho, You have a moral obligation and perhaps a legal obligation to return the phone.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
You should have given it to the supermarket customer service or manager or even hand it into a police station, im assuming it wasn't on when you found it (otherwise the owner would no doubt try and call the phone to see if anyone had it)
This thread makes me sad...if i lost my phone id cry and hope that the person that found it would have the decency to answer my frantic calls or hand it in to have it returned to me. Do the decent thing.

Seriously? If they find out you did that then you may well lose your job. As an employee your actions are not seen in the same light as a customer.
Look at the call log and call someone who's on there frequently. Tell them you have the phone and arrange to get it back to the owner. You'll make someone very happy and you'll save yourself a potentially large amount of trouble

Imagine if the supervisor said "ok i will return it" and kept it for himself

CWM 5 issue
Someone has problems with custom rom and CWM 5?
Be a nice guy and just try to track down the owner. Just check which Google account the phone syncs with and fire up an email.
If you've switched your own SIM into the phone, it's very likely the phone has sent a text message to a number the owner set up the moment you fired it back up. It's also fairly easy to track the phone via GPS, check call logs and wipe the phone remotely. The service provider can also track IMEI numbers on phones registered on their network.
More importantly, make the real owners day and let the poor guy have his precious phone back!

If you do this they'll reping and get the correct phone model. I don't just want the MT4GS to DISPLAY, I want T-Mobile to think I'm actually using it.
I bought the N4 from Google Play and I kind of don't want them to know I have it.
You kinda can't since T-Mobile just gets that information from your IMEI which is hardcoded in your phone. Each time you make a phone call or connect to the network in anyway your IMEI is sent (along with your SIM IMSI) to authenticate you to the network.
As such they've made tampering with IMEIs illegal as well
But...

I bought my N$ from Google Play, should my IMEI even register?
I've been using it for about a day and the phone hasn't changed on the site yet, I may be in luck.
I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this so I'll go ahead and say it.
This thread makes no sense. Why don't you want t mobile to know what phone you use?
You can't spoof another phone unless you change the imei which isn't legal. Editing the build.prop will probably only cause issues with the play store.

And T-Mobile sells the N4. It doesn't matter where you bought it, they know what the IMEI pulls up as.

I too would like to know why it matters what phone they think you have.
At&t knows I'm using an N4 based on the IMEI, and they don't sell it, so unless you're willing to possibly destroy your phone/spend some time in jail, I would just forget about it.

I don't understand this thread either, I was literally in my local T-Mobile store not more than an hour ago, told the rep I was purchasing an N4 from Google (its 200$ cheaper than t-mo wants for month-to-month contract price) and he gave me instructions on how to activate it with their monthly 4g plan. why would they care where you got it?

I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this so I'll go ahead and say it.
This thread makes no sense. Why don't you want t mobile to know what phone you use?
You can't spoof another phone unless you change the imei which isn't legal. Editing the build.prop will probably only cause issues with the play store.

First of all, slow down....second, this thread makes a ton of sense.
My other phone is EOL and I want to cash it in for a new one with my insurance. In order to do that the old one must report be reported to T-Mobile before I drop it and it smashed to pieces. Thanks for being a jerk about it.
Sincerely,
Me

LOL at calling someone a jerk after admitting to wanting to commit insurance fraud.
Best thing I have seen all week.

Haha that is awesome. How does a thread, to regular law abiding folks, make "tons of sense" if the thread itself is a scheme to commit fraud? Damn, how could we not have thought of that?
Like the other poster said, this is the best thing I've read all week.
Not Really

It was just a joke, the phone is actually damaged (cracked screen and kb double presses buttons) this is why I got the N4.
When I called Asurion they told me they no longer carry the phone and tried to give me a G2 (which I already own), I then got some documents in the mail showing that the N4 is now in my device bracket, so I want to raise hell and trade it in.
...and even if I did want to commit fraud it's no ones business but mine. What is this? The moral police forum? Why is everyone sweating the details instead of helping me with my inquiry? This is the most hostile (though it IS at a minimum) group of posts I've encountered since 2007! lol
Regular Law Abiding Folk....?

I guess I'm the only one from the hood, the only torrent user, the only one who has ever used a cracked program, and the only one planning to rob my local bank this Friday with a banana in my pocket....lol
But seriously, stop being prudes guys... -_-
Your not going to be able to trick t mobile into thinking your phone is anything other than what it is. If your intent is to swap out an older phone through insurance your going to have to actually use the phone you want to claim so that t mobile can inform assurion or whoever of when the phone was last used. Your device sends a lot of info to its carrier every time you use it and editing a build.prop or whatever will not change that.

Not that I agree with what you are doing, but how was anybody supposed to come to this conclusion based on what you submitted in the OP?
Secondly, whether you have a secondary phone or not (N4) has absolutely no bearing on your ability to file for insurance for. Especially considering you purchased the phone at full value without a contract from a non-carrier vendor.

Having a secondary phone does not matter but when making a claim on the insured device they have to be able to verify that the damage occured within the last 30 days. If the phone has not been used in over 30 days they can deny the claim.

location : brooklyn. figures......lmao j/k bro lol but honestly you should know that XDA doesnt generally like helping people "get over" on cell phone compnaies. I mean, I personally dont care or look down on you for it. Heck if it works more power to ya. I think you knew this already hence why your OP mentioned nothing of the reasoning for you wanting to do this.
