Ur story is awesome. I think the 116 dollars a year should be the deductible. I know there are always people that take advantage of the system. I have done it before but I also thinks it sucks for the real problems we get screwed out of with deductibles on top of monthly premium charges.

They should consider your premium as the deductible unless its more than once a year. I can understand water damage or lost/stolen. I just don't think physical problems should be cause for deductible.

The "damaged beyond repair" can be argued as long as there's no obvious signs of abuse and if cust. service gets involved, we both know that we're ordering a replacement for the customer.

Who cares, insurance fraud or not. It's not insurance fraud if you not playing $7/mo for insurance in the first place. They should have just fixed it the first time he was in the store. Most of the people (techs) I've dealt with in the Sprint stores are complete idiots that won't even read Sprint's policies on Sprint.com. :|

Sprint EVO Replacement

I have been a customer of Sprint 12+ years and my experience with repair/replace of devices seems pretty typical. Some repair centers have treated me fine and one other consistently work at screwing me over. As with all new devices, there are manufacturer issues which have nothing to do with the user (bad screens, charging ports, non-functioning buttons etc.). As a corporate customer I always had a rep that would take care of an issue even if the local operation couldn't/wouldn't. I have not abused their staff nor have I abused my equipment in any way, I still have a perfect functioning Samsung i300, PPC6600 and Touch (Don't ask why I keep them around, I don't know). Each one of these needed some repair over the 2+ years I had them activated. Sprint has had many repairs centers around Metro Atlanta over the years, closing or consolidating and re-opening them from time to time. It has been my experience that you have to avoid some repair centers, those that take your device out back and come back to you withing 10 minutes with the "Wet" battery story - I have never had any of my devices ever get water or moisture on them except one and I willingly paid the deductible for that one. Recently I had the not charging issue on my EVO purchased June 4, 2010, 9+ months. Because I had to take it to the local/nearest repair center which I had problems with in the past I was apprehensive but confident I had done nothing wrong or abused the device. The tech took it out back, came back 45 minutes later and informed me that I had abused the charging port on the device and that it had come unsolder-ed and would have to go through Assurance to replace it, to which I asked her to show me. I insisted that was a defect as opposed to abuse and got nowhere. It took some insistence that I believed I should not have to pay ANY deductible. She ask her superior and was granted a one time exception to their policy to replace my (Abused, according to her) device. I have since then gone to what was my local Sprint store with my son for a new phone. This store, near our mall had closed and the independent repair center a half mile away had taken over the Sprint space. I recognized an employee who had previously worked in that store for Sprint and we stuck up the conversation about my recent repair and the trouble I had. He informed me that Sprint was well aware of the charging port issue and if I had brought it there there wouldn't have been any problem replacing it at all. He checked my device and discovered that the battery had become over heated and swollen, most likely due to the charging port problems. He ordered a new one at no charge as Sprint was aware of this also.

Moral of the story, sometimes you may have drive to a different repair center or take unscrupulous measures or insistence to get a problem resolved with big companies who aren't able or willing to do the right thing on their own, Sprint being no exception.

This charging port issue, which mine phone has, is another reason I'm leery about getting another HTC phone. I think the quality of their phones is highly overrated.
[EVO 4G General] fibbeh:
Everyone keeps saying that the broken charger port is a known issue with Sprint, but I recently did not have any success from this angle.

I took my phone to a local Sprint repair store and the tech opened the phone and said my charger port had came off the motherboard. It looked like a clean solder break to me, and he said he wasn't allowed to fix it and it wasn't covered.

I then called customer service and they also said it would not be covered by warranty. I mentioned that this is supposed to be a known issue with HTC EVOs and they said it wasn't. I spoke with her supervisor, and she also insisted that it was not a known issue. I then spoke with another supervisor who insisted this wasn't a known issue.

Is there something that I'm doing wrong? How can I get them to acknowledge this?

same thing here...

i too had an evo4g and i noticed it wouldnt charge sometimes and the port felt loose, i brought it to a repair center in revere ma, they told me i pushed the charge in too hard and it broke and wasnt covered, wanted me to pay 100bucks for a refurb. i fought with them and on the phone with sprint, politely of course, i got nowhere. told them i was gonna cancel my account n switch to verizon (also b/c they prorated my bill twice as much as they told me they were going to when i added a second line-another story tho) and they told me to "go ahead and switch then"

i said goodbye to my htc hero/evo4g/nexus s4g and said hello to a droid charge- now razr maxx.

im gonna solder the port back on the evo soon, as it was a clean break, and use it for something neat.
[EVO 4G General] connman:
I know this is an older thread, but here's an idea.

Phones are devices that are going to experience failure. Sometimes there is a design flaw. If you're polite, often the company will take care of it.

If not, pay the fee or get an external charger and two batteries from Amazon for $15.

There's just not justification for ripping off a company, and especially then being proud and sharing how you've "scored" when what you did was unethical at least, and in some states would be prosecutable as fraud.
[EVO 4G General] 9h0s7:
Coming from a guy with the handle connman, that's pretty funny.

Not to mention the hilarity in the ridiculousness of the statement.

Just saying.

Disregard the constable.
[EVO 4G General] connman:
OK. Why disregard what I've just said? What is being suggested is fraudulent. The troubling part is that people are proud of perpetrating said fraud, and they're being defended and congratulated by others.

Seriously? You find this kind of behavior acceptable?

The statement is not "ridiculous" in any manner, way, shape or form. Suggesting that somebody actually behave in an honest manner is now considered to be ridiculous?

I'll not respond to this elderly thread again. I don't respond much, since I am fairly busy with a job and family to support, and actually pay for things when they break, rather than having to deceive someone, lie about it, and in effect steal from a company.
[EVO 4G General] 9h0s7:

Not sure what phone you are using but it sounds like htcsense to me. If you have a sense ui the messages are all stored on the HTC server securely and then when you sign back into htcsense after the wipe, they are restored when it syncs with the server. I believe this can be disabled as you login though by unchecking a tickbox. Hope this helps

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Yeah, reason is, the US economy is based on competition between retailers, due to the fact the average American will not pay more for an item, than what it's worth. (with the exception of iPhones and Crapweiser beer) ;)

As for those of us across the pond, we have no choice in what to pay :( In Eastern Europe, like Moscow, the prices are almost exactly the same no matter which shop you go to. However, the internet shops offer cheaper prices. Also, there are the legitimate devices (regulated and approved by russian FCC) and the "grey" devices (those that slip past the regulatory agency). Big difference in prices. Unfortunately, only phones seem to be in the "grey" area.
[LG Optimus 2x] vlad88667:
Hello everyone,

another day another issue:

I connected my O2X to the TV with hdmi cable to watch a long youtube video (1hour44min) but after a few minutes the video stops and it can't load anymore.

I try to go to the browser version of youtube and my browser doesn't load...finally I go to the settings and under Wifi it says disconnected!!! I tried this several times and everytime hdmi is connected wifi seems to stop working.

Now, I'm sure LG didn't mess this phone up that much, where connecting the provided hdmi cable disconnects wifi....I mean come on surely this would be impossible? right?

Anyone had this issue before? Is the solution to get a new ROM or a new phone?

Cheers

[General Questions and Answers] dzntjcc:
Hi There, I am a partially sighted user who has bought a motorola xoom. I also have an iPad and I have been looking for an app on the xoom which is built into iOS. It's the white on black feature, also known as colour inversion.

I have searched the market place high and low for such an app using all different search terms, i.e negative, inverted etc etc but I can't find anything. The native white background on web pages or any other text intesive apps really over strains my eyes, sometimes to the point where I have trouble making out the words of text. I also use the negative feature on my PC and is a much more comfortable experience.

I would like to know if anyone has come across such an app for android? I really love my xoom but I can't yet replace my iPad for using on the train to read the web because of my trouble.

Apologies if this was posted in the wrong section, it was difficult to know which category it fits into.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Ok, my bad I should have explained it better, sorry. If it's the same behaviour I experienced then it takes a long time to get to that stage. What I meant by force closing it was that I killed the app, (if you press back it doesn't exit, just runs in the background), so I hit home and use the Samsung active apps widget to end the app, then restart it and if it seems to be taking too long I repeat the process, if it's still taking too long then try a reboot and start again. I've done this on three GT i9000's bloody annoying, but I got there in the end.

If that doesn't work or you dont have the patience you are going to have to use Odin, but makes sure you read up on it first, and that you have Download mode via the three button combo.
