if you get insurance on your N1 with square trade or some other company, and you decide to root your phone. will this void your warranty?
anyone know?
Securannty.com and and squaretrade.com both state the insurance starts after the manufacturer's warranty expires. That's the way I read it anyway. I'm afraid the warranty company might demand you send it back to Europe of wherever for repairs in the first year.
I'm asking if anyone in the U.S. has filed a warranty with either of these companies for their GNote and what the results were.
I'm using safeware as per the advice that I got in this thread:

I have since gotten approval and the paperwork on this plan, and as I read it, coverage starts at the time of purchase of the plan.
Just a question: Does anyone know if the $80 Squaretrade warranty offered through Amazon (link: http://www.amazon.com/SquareTrade-Accident-Protection-Prepaid-300-399/dp/B008I668NG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_2im_sbs_cps_2 covers the Nexus 4? It seems like it should, and it's vastly more affordable than the typical Squaretrade smartphone warranty....

No, it won't. Amazon SquareTrade warranties are for Amazon purchases. I too asked this same question, and I emailed SquareTrade to find out what the difference was or if it mattered. However, when I did so, they provided me with a coupon code for "my first SquareTrade warranty" and made the end cost $95; not as good as $80, but still better than the listed $125!
I just received an LTE version (SM-P605) and I am looking into the different protection warranties available. I have seen many mentions of SquareTrade (and it's even available from Amazon), but I haven't seen any mention of NegriCare (sold from Negri Electronics).
I'm looking at the accidental coverage, so it would cover drops, etc.
The NegriCare is a little less expensive, but has a $50 deductible. Does anyone actually have any experience with either?
Thanks in advance...
If you do use Square Trade, definitely get it from Amazon, the prices are much better. ST discount codes can be found easily but the Amazon pricing is still better.
I have the Square trade warranty but can't tell you how good or bad it is since I haven't used it.
Send me a private message if you need a discount code.
I've had two devices totaled and SquareTrade paid each claim within a week. NegriCare is just a white-label product offered through them but underwritten by a third party. Having insurance is only worthwhile if your claim is handled quickly and satisfactorily. That's definitely the case for me and those I know who've dealt with ST but a question mark for whoever Negri's using. Look at the T&C on Negri's site where they offer NegriCare and you should be able to fine the name of the company underwriting the insurance. Check the AM Best site to see their size, rating, and time in business.
P.S. - Never file a claim online with ST. You'll get some sketchy robo-generated answers that can elongate the process. Always file the claim with a human.

Thanks for the great info.
NegriCare is serviced through Mack Warranty
I recently had a tablet under warranty with SquareTrade that ended up getting damaged.
I filed the claim online which was rather simple and straightforward. Within a few hours, I received an email stating the claim was received and a 2nd day shipping label was attached. Sent the tablet that night and within a week, the claim was approved for reimbursement of the purchase price of the tablet. I elected to get my funds sent via Paypay (rather than a hard check), and the monies were in my account in a couple days after claim approval. In total, the process from filing claim to having money in Paypal account took a bit under 2 weeks.

I use Ensquared to insure my devices. The good thing is they cover international devices. I made 2 claims on my Galaxy Note 1 and they sent my replacements within 3 days. I have been lucky to get brand new devices each time. They get thier replacement direclty from the manufacture and at times they get them from Negri. they ship them to you overnight at no additioanl charge.

I had a Mack warranty on my old DLP TV that included bulb replacement and had a very pleasant experience with them when I needed a new bulb.
I'm curious if you can get insurance for a one+2 Or if I bought one from a person if the warranty can be transfered ?
