Why do people accept and defend such shoddy service from companies they pay good money to? That is what I don't understand. Then when someone calls a company out for poor customer service they get called whiny and douchy. I find this disturbing on many levels.

My parents walked in to a store and bought 2 brand new EVO's on Friday...they didn't get Asurion.
[EVO 4G General] tgrgrd00:
Dude are you kidding me? With planning like this no wonder my phone isn't available.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It's not shoddy business, they specifically state to you that it depends on availability and you continued to pay for the deductible and the service while knowing that there is a possibility that you may not get your phone next day.

It's the truth though. Companies plan for a specific amount of time, once those expectations are met, new figures are well, figured and the company plans for a certain amount of time again. No company wants to be stuck with products on the shelf they will lose money on, so they prefer to be out of stock and order as many as they need then to be overstocked by thousands and lose well over that.
[EVO 4G General] tgrgrd00:
"Depends on availability" is the key. Availability is the onus of the company and they have failed. What? I am supposed to just accept it and go without a phone without any explanation as to why availability is non existent? I don't get this mentality of accepting failure and non communication from any company you do business with. It baffles me the low standards some people have.

I work in production planning and know all about inventory management, forecasting, historical variables, demand patterns, reorder points, max on hands, product life cycles etc. etc. etc. If asurion predicted demand for replacements on EVO's at this time in the products cycle would be at minimum stagnant then someone failed miserably.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
You just described the USA in a nutshell.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Let me remind you that it's IMPOSSIBLE to know how many people will break their phone this month. They are predicted on phones sold by the possibility of phones breaking through past patters. Approximately 1000 phones sold, 100 broke the last 3 months, this month 100 were sold so we would imagine 10 will break. However, for some reason March was the month that the moon was closest to the earth causing a change in humans as the moon affects water and tides and humans are 90% water, so there was more breakage than normal, therefor, we are out of stock.

Get my point? If you would have broken your phone 1 month ago, you would not be waiting. It's not called "low standards" it's called reality and there's a reason why it's stated BASED ON AVAILABILITY because it's NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE. What would you do if you were in Japan right now? I bet you a phone would be the last of your worries.
[EVO 4G General] tgrgrd00:
Or maybe Sprint stopped repairing "physical damage" phones in store in February and it should be obvious to anyone that demand is going to move to asurion. I mean come on how obvious is that? Asurion better catch up soon because I don't need forecasts, phone sales blah blah blah to tell you there is going to be HIGH demand for EVO replacements in the next several months or longer.

If I would have broken my phone a month ago it would have been repaired in a Sprint store FOR FREE. That is what started this whole mess in the first place. Sprint told me to go ahead and file a claim and it would be sent the next day. But I whine I whine.

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You win. Amazing that you know how a company works, accept it, yet are still unsatisfied. You will be disappointed a lot on Earth if you live your entire life with this mentality.

Real talk

Sent from my Evo, ho!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Its the truth though.
[EVO 4G General] PikkonX:
Much truth to this, but it's also incredibly unfair. The recent events in the world are certainly very awful/scary, but there is always something bad going on in the world and always will be. The middle east was at war long before any of us here were born. Should people cease to live their personal lives because people are being murdered, tortured, maimed and raped throughout the world at any given moment? Things could always be worse for us here, but if you live your life focused on that fact, you haven't lived at all.

To be on topic, my Evo is also broken :( and I'm still waiting for Sprint to call me in to pick it up. This LG flip phone is awful lol and it's crazy how disconnected from the world I feel without a smart phone. Now that's what you call an effect of a spoiled society :p.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Not at all, but I think one would handle being "inconvenienced" for such a small amount of days (7-10) over a telephone when one could be without a house, job, family, etc. Especially when the company specifically states that it could take that long and you accepted that.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I'm with the op on this one but only if its been more than a week....after one week I would flip ouy on asurion. Most probably what happened is the op is in line to get a replacement from asurion.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Can we close this useless ranting thread yet?
[EVO 4G General] PikkonX:
Yup, I agree and respect that. They ordered my phone last Wednesday and as long as they can get me one before my vacation on April 7th, I'll be good. Kinda need Google Maps/DC metro app to get around Washington.
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Oh man, I totally agree that Asurion is a terrible company. I mean, with all the money they collect from people they should have some sort of magical machine that can create EVOs out of thin air. Shame on them for not investing in something like that.

As stated before, they are out of stock EVERYWHERE. Sprint is out of them, even Amazon is out of them, and you expect Asurion to have them? Ain't **** ANY company but HTC can do about it. You broke your phone, at least you are going to get a new one. You're just going to have to suffer for a week or so.

FWIW, when I filed my claim with them a few months ago, I called them at 6pm to file and had my brand new (not refurb) replacement EVO in my hands by 11am the very next day. When they are in stock, they do get shipped out immediately but as stated, they can't reach up their asses and magically pull out an EVO to send to you. Be reasonable.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
why is htc still out of stock though.. after this many months its more then ridiculous...
[EVO 4G General] Razgriz:
I kinda feel your pain, OP. I lost my Evo a week ago Sunday and just got it today...only to get a refurb with a scratched screen with a hairline crack going down the middle from left to right. Now I have to wait another 7-10 days for another replacement.
[EVO 4G General] david_ag:
I think people should learn to read the fine print and take it for what it is, not skip it. It was clearly stated that depends on availability. You had insurance options with other providers, so you made your choice OP. valid points have been made, people need to have PERSPECTIVE in their lives with how bad other people have it.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Go to att and get a iphone they always stay in stock

Sent from my Evo, ho!
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Now that's a legitimate complaint unlike the OP.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Exactly. The thing is, there isn't even a fine print. They state clearly in all materials that they might not always have the phone available, and there might be a small wait time.

If you think it's "shoddy business", then why the f*** are you still doing business with them? You're the one to blame.

NO insurance company is ever perfect. Yes, they work for a profit, and they make tons of it. Yes, the deductible is kind of ridiculous. BUT don't complain the company is doing shoddy business because you're an impatient, whiny baby and did not bother to read what you have signed up for.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Because it's still a popular phone. And as everyone else stated, its impossible to predict demand for this kind of product.
[EVO 4G General] jdefran:
Hey OP-I was in a similar boat...just order a device through Asurion on Friday and it's supposed to be be tomorrow. The weird is I called Sprint to ask general questions and chatted with an online rep about my frustrations...an hour later I get an email with a tracking number for the phone. Have you called Sprint or anything to express your frustrations (in a nice way of course)?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Calling Sprint will do nothing as Sprint and Asurion are two different companies. Don't create calls for no reason.
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
The sucks man I never had problem with then in the past. Or replacement Evo, when I called for the EVO they told me 5-7 business days and it was on Tuesday by Thursday I got a brand new Evo and everything went out fine, Verizon act faster tho when my blackberry screen wouldn't work they gave me a replacement in less then 10 minutes, now my sisters shift screen wouldn't work they couldn't fix it and now she is waiting 2 days for a replacement so kind of sucks
[EVO 4G General] OnlyFair:
they give me sooooo much when my device hits end of life
[EVO 4G General] potna:
To those that think that complaining is a waste of time and what not, here's why it is not a waste:

after hearing the run around people are getting, I am greatly considering dropping their services. This is the name of the game. You do what we agreed to, specific or implied, or your smart customers will find someone that will, or drop this concept of phone insurance all together.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Haha

Sent from my Evo, ho!
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
Well, I'm happy to say that they actually sent me my replacement ahead of time. They said 7-10 days and I got it on day 6. The phone came in a brand new box with charger, USB cable, and battery all sealed and seemingly brand new. The phone was sealed, as well; with the peel-off screen protector and all. Also had the peel-off protector over the camera lens. It's a 004 model, too.

The last thing I claimed to Asurion was a BB a few years back, and it wasn't in an OEM package like this replacement. Could I have been lucky and gotten a new one? Or do all refurbed Evo's come like this?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
There's a way to check if it's refurb or new but I can't remember right now. Sounds like you got a new one though.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I just got off of the phone with them because the curiosity had the better of me, and Asurion confirmed that they did send me a new phone.

:D
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
^5 glad to hear you are back in business! Do you now hold the record for unboxing to root? :-)
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
I dropped them awhile back and am trying best buy's instead. They said as long as I bring in all the pieces of it I'll get a new one but I haven't had to use it yet.

[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
Hello, normally I am cautious about flashing, adding apps or anything to internal memory, but since the DS7 treats it like a sdcard. I am wondering, is that memory always secure from any type of flashing, playing around etc as a physical sdcard would be?

I plan to try to get some items to work and if it works fine in the internal sdcard, that would be good. Havent had the chance yet to buy a class 6 sdcard for storage and backup and working with.

Also the internal memory sdcard, is that better then a class 6? Or does anyone know its speed?

This is my 2nd attempt on creating a Windows Phone 7 Lock like application for Windows Mobile 6.x and 6.5.x. The first one I made was like too simple and it's not skinnable, so this one has that feature.

I made the horizontal-slide-and-unlock because I thought it'll be more Finger Friendly because we just have to use one hand when sliding unlike what WP7 usually have. Pshychologically, more people will use their other hand when unlocking because they have a large screen and they have to slide their finger all the way to the top or probably make a fast flick of their thumb. And think about the screen got an initial hard pressure from your thumb.

This is a very early stage of SlideUnlock development but i'm releasing it so I can get your inputs and feedbacks.

So what are the features?

It's skinnable!

Add your own Image or Text!

Add your custom font.

Add your custom image or text

You can reposition the objects.

Supports all resolution!

Slide horizontally

Slide vertically

Supports All Language.

It Suspend or turn the Backlight Off when unused or unlocked for n seconds.

and it's free (again)

How to skin?

You can grab the app.settings file after you install the application. The file is located where you installed the application. Open it and you can read the comments I made there. There are some initial PNG images there too.

The current theme is designed for VGA So I wish guys you make your theme and share it here too :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darfri:
I haven't yet tried this because of my device being repaired but does this locker also turn off (or allow to be turned off by system) the screen/sleep IF not unlocked in time? This is the most important thing for lockers i think because if the screen gets turned on in the pocket for some third party reason occasional contacts with screen would keep the device on (also locked ofcourse) and drain the battery hardly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
Good question darfi.

Yes, this locker does not interfere with winmo's Power Scheduling or any other 3rd party power scheduler apps. So if you have your phone scheduled to turn off the backlight or to sleep, it does not interfere with those or simply saying, this locker don't make your phone always awake!

On the other hand, I like the idea of having its own power scheduling.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darfri:
Hi again. Confusing issue :)

As I understand winmo's Power Scheduling keeps the device awake for predefined time from the last input (screen, key) so winmos power sch is causing the device to drain. So lets say that if I have locked the device with JWMD SU and it wakes up in the pocket for third reason the winmo will keep it awake because of occasional touches on screen. Which is bad. So this wont protect from that problem? This problem is solved in s2u2, pocketshield and touchlockpro
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
:D Well the bottom line, I got the point and will integrate that feature.

and Yes, I have noticed that functionality in Pocketshield which at first use, I didn't get the reason why they have that.

About skinning...

it appear your original files 240x320 is stretched to screen ?

If i have a 800x480, no problem... ? no stretching ?

If i use exe.config, i can adjust to my res all text and picture ?

If i can make something like that tomorrow you will have a WVGA skin with config, i hope...

Thx for support ! :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
I forgot my wallbg.png was 240x320 :D and I was demoing in 480x640 anyway

Yes, If you used 480x800 wallbg and your resolution is 480x800, no problem :) no stretching what so ever.. but if your screen resolution is lower than 480x800, the wallbg will stretch to the device resolution.

The app is aware of screen DPIs but it's missing one feature which I forgot to add. It doesn't scale down the image when the theme is designed for 192 DPI.

anyway, to determine the correct pixel when resizing from 96 DPI to 192 DPI, the following formula should be used:

if you have 32x32 icon and you're designing in 96 DPI, it should be calculated this way

(pixel * current_dpi) / 96

(32 * 96) / 96 = 32 (96 dpi)

(32 * 192) / 96 = 64 (192 dpi)

tho' don't worry about those maths.. the framework already has it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nullstring:
@lesscro totally my fault. I forgot to mention if you started with 20, the image filename should also be 20.png

sorry for misleading you on this part

<!-- how many image objects do we have? -->
<add key="ImageObjects" value="4"/>

the ImageObjects should be the maximum image object key. so in your case, you started with 20_* ImageObjects should be 21

if you have 20_, 21_, 22_, 23_ the ImageObjects should be 24.
