Get $20/$500 from Google settlement - Google Pixel Guides, News, & Discussion

If you owned the Pixel or Pixel XL, you could get some money from the defective microphone settlement.
If you have proof that you had a defective microphone you can get $500.
If you don't have proof, or was unaffected, you could get up to $20.
This isn't exactly a new story, but now you can file a claim.

Unfortunately, I can't claim it in Canada. :crying:

Not sure I would say it's a trade up. I played with one a couple of days ago and wasn't very impressed. You should be able to get $100-$150. Sprint sells refurbished Epics for $120.

No contract. Only $60 with employee discount. Same for the EVO, and the Nexus S. Might not be a corporate thing though. All my local Sprint stores are franchise.
So where can I find the epics for 120 refurbished...I wouldn't mind having a spare..or a nexus s

In order to take advantage of this, you must go to a Sprint store that is part of the Shentel(Shenandoah Communications) franchise. They are mostly in the Mid-Atlantic Region. Other franchise stores may have the same or similar offer, but I don't know. Corporate stores do not have this offer as far as I know. I also neglected to mention that you must exchange your current Sprint phone (functioning or non-functioning) to get the refurb at discount. They do this primarily for customers that don't have TEP, but they will do it for anyone.

So in other worlds, one have to go through a bunch of **** just to get the $120 price.
I called yesterday my local Sprint store and asked about refurbished phones and their answer was "refur- huh?". I heard her ask someone else and the dude said "we dont have refurbs, only pre-owned" and I was like "that works too". Apparently, when people return their phones withing the 30 day window, they cant sell the phones as new so they cut the price and sell them pre-owned, its just that it depends on people returning, so call the store and ask about them.

I suppose if you don't live close to one of these stores, then yes. Not much of a hassle if one of their stores is local to you.

Asurion claim...

Having to replace my Xoom, the screen broke a couple of weeks ago. They had it on backorder forever but I got the email this morning and was surprised to see the model they wanted to send me wasn't the Xoom at all, it was "XYBRD1016" which leads me to believe they're sending me a new Xyboard 10.1...
Well... it certainly looks like it! I don't know if I'd be happy with that or not tbh!

I have mixed feelings... I like the design, IPS screen is awesome, higher clocked processor will hopefully be nice but no expandable storage and I'm assuming locked bootloader... I think I'd also lose all my THD games I bought, though I don't play them much anymore...

Sell it then replace it with another xoom.
I'm sure it being recently released can sucker someone into paying $600 for it.

I think I'd sooner get a Transformer Prime and a LTE MiFi than get another Xoom, I want a quad core tablet.

My screen has been acting up all night, looking forward to the Xyboard.
I'd definitely sell it and get a transformer prime...when it's actually in stock again.

It's not fraud. You have a contract with the insurance company. They've agreed to replace your xoom if something happens to it. Something happened to it. They owe. Simple as that. What you do with it after they send it to you is your business. No different than if you wreck your car, have the insurance company fix it, and then sell it afterward.

What makes u think they oversold? They had 190 and they sold 190 thats why they ended it. And no shipping info yet. Read the description, says 24-48hrs

They sent me TWO!

lucky me! They sent me TWO phones! They got my order right, and sent me one that belongs to "Brian"
So, if anyone in the Medford OR area ordered an X and is missing one hit me up!

I think that legally you are under no obligation to return the device. They mailed it to you, it is now yours.
Of course, its absolutely not the right thing to do...especially with a pair of companies you are in an ongoing relationship with (who you have alerted to the problem). Would probably just get the IMEI locked out or something and be left with a useless brick and bad karma.

The rules exist more to stop companies form sending something you didn't order and then billing you for it (or sending a collections agency after you). It is designed to stop scams and fraud, but it still applies to honest mistakes and accidental shipments. Basically if you receive something in the mail that you didn't order, it is considered a gift and is yours to keep.
I'm not saying he should keep it (he absolutely shouldn't), but just pointing out the rules.
Interestingly enough, while this applies to physical goods, it is not really true for money. If your employer accidentally cuts you an extra paycheck, or your bank makes an error that leaves an extra $100 in your account, that money is not yours to keep. Your employer has a number of rights enabling them to recover the money (varying by state) and banks have a very long time to figure out that they made a mistake and take it back from your account (and come after you if there's not enough left in the account).
If you do the right thing in either situation, you can't really be harmed. I saw a story once where some woman ordered an ipad from best buy, accidentally got 5 ipads, reported it, and they opted to let her keep them all in the spirit of the holidays!

Yikes! December is quite a while away. I hope that info is outdated... I was hoping John Legere would announce it during Uncarrier X. If it doesn't come out this month, I'll probably just buy it from BB with my bonus since it still gets VoLTE and Wifi calling. Band 12 isn't out where I'm at yet, but the Priv does support it, so the only thing I miss out on is the Jump insurance.

Didn't they remove the word "exclusive" due to legal reasons?

I didn't hear that but that makes more sense than exclusive since you can buy it from B&B's website. But still the timed exclusive has to be worth it and I couldn't see AT&T paying for anything less than a month.
