Sorry...that guy just can't seem to grasp the fact that he was being negligent. Not to mention he said "what goes around comes around someday your going to be the victim (hopefully not) of a crime and lets see if your opinion changes"....and the fact that he said "hopefully not" turned his comment into an idiotic contradiction.

I don't take very kindly to people wishing quasi-bad ju-ju on me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boominz28:
im not sure how much of this thread you have read because no one has said they got their phone stolen out of the car, especially me, i was making an example that my car got stolen and i was chastised as the bad guy because i left my keys in the car. and in no way am i the bad guy , and in no way am i at fault.

i did not say i was responsible it was irresponsible but that does not mean its my fault. or the op's i was defending him against someone who was trolling and basically calling him an idiot for letting it get stolen , when it may have been out of his control.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n00b1269:
Responsible or not, the op paid for insurance and now is not geting a service that he pays for with said insurance. Sprint should be doing something about it period.

And yes, I work under the Sprint name too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
No, it's Asurion's responsibility and part of the agreement is that you get a replacement of that model or a

comparable model.

They offered that comparable model.

He doesn't want it.

He has to wait.

Let's stop signing onto things until we know the rules folks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
Without the op saying more this thread is going to travel way off course.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Haha, I'm enjoying people's view on it.....

Without saying who is right or wrong or who's to blame I think the bottom line I discovered is insurance ISN'T worth it.

Let's say you place one claim during the course of your phone's life and it takes 2 weeks to get shipped to you.

You either pay:

$192+$100 deductible for a total of $292 and go phone-less for 2 weeks.

$292 and lose the phone you wanted.

Or $392+ to buy yourself a temporary loner.

Or $800+ with a $600 refund later to buy a phone from them for the time.

Best case scenario $292? I can get a Photon on CL for that price.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n00b1269:
Actually if Sprint is selling it, it doesn't matter if its asurion or not, Sprint has to take some responsibility.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Oh my bad. I misread what you posted. Here...I'll re-reply. ;)

Yes...It's partially your fault. Negligent behaviour enables criminals. If you enable them...they will steal your ****. :rolleyes:

Yes...It's partially the owner's fault. Negligent behaviour enables criminals. If you enable them, they will steal your ****. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
No, they don't.

Asurion handles the insurance.

This is like complaining: "I crashed my car and Ford won't help me out"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpsheridan:
I figured I would throw this out there since No One has brought this out.. Even if Sprint had loaner phones you now run into another problem. People would then start *****ing that their Loaner phone is a piece of ****! I've seen this before when I worked for a Metrocell way back when. We did provide Loaners for the customer while there's was being fixed. Unfortunately He is at the mercy of the phones availability and it's frustrating to him. Say Sprint or Asurion had a crap load of HTC Hero's, flip phones, etc in stock at the local Sprint stores for just that purpose. People would be all over them because it doesn't do what their current phone does, that they are paying for features or service they aren't getting. Then again what if they only had a limited number of loaner phones to provide.. Then someone would be pissed off because they were currently all loaned out. It's basically a No Win Situation. I know waiting sucks for a replacement sucks but what else can you do? If he still had an old phone then he could simply have that activated in place of his E4GT until he got it. But Alias this isn't the case..

I have been the victim (More than once) of theft. I had a car Stolen over night from my Apartment. (Yes It was locked and I had the keys with me) lol.. We had a rash of car thefts in my area. I never got that car back.. I've also had my Car Stereo stolen from my car as well. Some things are completely out of your control.. Then again some are definitely in your control and it's because you were having a bad day or distracted that something happens.. You just have to deal with the situation the best you can..

Just wanted to throw that out there to think about.. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MilesChris:
Same thing happened to me so I called sprint and they credited my bill for the 2 weeks I didn't have my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I still have my OG Epic, HTC TP2, and even my old Sanyo M1 as backup devices for just such an occasion or if a friend needs a loaner. Do you have a friend or relative like me who can loan you a phone while you wait? I bet if you think real hard you probably do.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] n00b1269:
See that's sprint taking some responsibility as they should
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mag44:
I had issues with an OG Epic replacement. There was an issue with my screen which was not my fault. The replacement phone worked fine except for the MIC. I would call people and then have the say "WHAT, WHAT, Why aren't you saying anything". This required me to surrender my original phone to the service center. Whoever works in their repair center didn't check to make sure that the replacement phone really worked which pissed me off. The second replacement that I got worked fine.

For the second replacement they did not require me to surrender my phone but since the mic didnt work it really didn't matter.

I have a second phone through my work and I am glad that I was not "lost" but it is terrible for folks that have one phone \.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ralexand:
Is a local Sprint store willing to give you a "loaner" Android phone in the meantime? Maybe you can find an old one for really cheap on Craigslist to tide you over. Then at least you'd have a backup if something happened in the future.

10-14 days is way too long considering it costs $8/month ($100/year) + a steep deductible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nolalove06:
Zing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Brooklynzson:
The deductible for that phone is $100 right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Yes, $100.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ceasernem:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wytecaztle:
I read about lookouts Plan	B app you can push from the market to your phone as soon as it gets stolen or lost then track it from the pc...just a heads up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
I will go to my bank with any and every complaint I have if I actually brought the car from them. Sprint isn't giving us loans. It is selling us these devices.

If my cable box gives me problems then I am going to call my cable company to company and not Motorola or whoever happen to make my device. They gave me this device to use with their service so should work on their service.

I will do these things up until the time that we are allowed to buy our cell phones and take them to any carriers we wish without having to sign a 2 year agreement and therefore having a cheaper monthly bill since I'd be paying full price of the device. Otherwise, if Sprint or Verizon or anyone else sell my phone to work in their network for a 2 year contract with insurance then they had better make sure that phone works on their network for that 2 years and that I am happy with the insurance that Sprint bills me for monthly and make sure it actually takes care of my needs.

It is like Sprint wants to get a nice little commission off of selling the insurance but doesn't want to deal with the headache of a unsatisfied customer? And if they aren't getting a commission then why are they doing it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Unfortunately people like him are what will cause an end to a lot of benefits.

People really gotta stop seeing corporations as these faceless entities they believe.

Are there bad aspects to corporations?

No doubt.

But when you scam, we all lose, and we includes the person scamming.

People need an ethic check.

They need to start realizing the connection between actions and consequences.

You can think you're getting a slick deal when you scam a company but the fact is, the CEO is still gonna get his pay.

The CFO is still gonna get his pay.

The board will too.

The only group that will suffer is the customer...and low level employees.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Silent25r:
I personally don't recall abusing anything so I don't think that was directed at me. I'm just stating my point of view as a consumer.

I still have my device. Is the general understand that the op lost his on purpose? I'm just a little confused on how this abuse thing comes into play. Unless your applying that by not guarding my device 24/7 and having it stolen is somehow abusing the system.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whats77inaname:
Mannnn....I used to live in SA, and I've had 4 cars broken into down there. Lost rims, amps, head units, engine management units, etc. But in each case, my doors were locked, my windows were up, my keys *weren't* in the car, running. You sound as if you've never heard of that old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," i.e., if you do this one small thing (take your keys out of your ignition and not leave your car running), then you'll help prevent a larger situation (your car being STOLEN). Ins. claims that are *easily* preventable cause MILLIONS of dollars in losses a year, screwing up things for the non-negligent people. People like you are the reason why rate increases are necessary. People like you are also investigated for fraud. Ins. companies think (and rightfully so), "Q: Who leaves their keys in their car with the car running?" A: "Someone trying to have their car stolen and submit a fraudulent claim, b/c no one is crazy/stupid enough to do that *unless* they're trying to have their car stolen."

The thief is of course, in the wrong, but you didn't help the situation any. Common sense says, "Hey, there are thieves out there who are waiting for the opportunity to take advantage a situation. Why don't I make it hard for them and take my keys out of my car and *not* leave it running unattended?" It's called being *responsible* for your things, not *negligent*.

But I guess everyone doesn't think like that. Sad state of the world, I guess.

Since you don't feel you did anything wrong, and that you were perfectly within your rights to leave your car in the state that you did, I'm curious as to whether or not you still do that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boominz28:
Ok first of all I am not stupid, I was not trying to have my car stolen. lets move on past what I said as it does not pertain to this situation I used it as an example to show that he was being looked at as the guilty party when he was the victim.

second as I said before I was being irresponsible, and no I don't still do it, not sure if your trying to win an argument that's not there or be a troll. You are exactly correct an "ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", but accidents happen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
My phone came today! lol. Turned out to be like a 6 or 7 business day wait. So glad to have my baby back lol. As good as the Evo is I almost forgot how smooth the Epic 4G touch is in comparison.

I'll make sure to keep very close care of it and also look into the market apps that let you figure out where it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kryptkeeper2006:
You guys that have the insurance, it may be a pain in the a** but at least you have it. I had it on my account until I went to best buy to upgrade to my e4gt last weekend. I got the phone and everything has been cool with it and I love it. My issue is when I went to check my account online on Friday I noticed that TEP was no longer listed as one of my add ons. I figured the guy at best buy must have messed up somewhere and removed it. No big deal, I'll just add it back on. Well, I was wrong. There was no option to add it to my device. When I looked it up in the help area it says that TEP is not compatible with our phones. Tried calling sprint and was told there was nothing they could do. So now I have to watch this phone like its my 4 month old cuz if anything happens to it I'm out the money for a new phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whats77inaname:
I'm not arguing, I'm not trolling, I'm just curious, is all. I didn't see your admission of irresponsibility, I only saw you defending the action.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

I'm looking at my bill right now and I have TEP, the ET4G being the only phone on my account. Interesting that they can't add it for you now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Blu3Fr0g:
To the OP: Call the local police department and file a Police Report about your phone. Ask how soon you can get a copy of the report, explain you need it for your insurance company for them to replace the phone. Once you get the report in your hand, it becomes the Insurer's problem to get the replacement phone in your hand, at least in California. The report is the key here because Asurion (spelling?) can demand it to buy more time. What does the paperwork Asurion mailed you state is the proper time frame for their service? That time frame is legally binding. Call back armed with this time frame and be forceful while remaining polite. Explain that you cannot be without a phone for this long a period of time and that the documentation that Asurion sent you promised a speedier resolution to your problems and since this is the service you pay for, this is the service you expect. Eventually you will find someone willing to go that extra step for you. Then call Sprint and ensure that they blacklist the stolen / lost phone. This will ensure someone from being able to activate it without jumping through some major hoops.v If all else fails, call Sprint and ask for Retention / Account Services and explain the situation to them. Be forceful but polite and explain that Sprint is billing you for this service. Often times playing the abused customer works a lot better then the angry customer.

hello all,

I´m using CM7 nightly cm7-111002-1446, when I use PPTP VPN it simply stops responding after a minute of using, the vpn is still connected but is not responding, after it´s stops working, I disconnect and reconect again and it works for a minute again, Is anyone got this error too? I tried others Nightly and even RC1.5, but the issue is always the same.

I used Brazilian Vivo Stock Froyo Room to flash CM7 is there any related? Do I have to use T-mobile US SBF or there is no problem to use the Stock room that I´m using, I just asking that because I could not find any thread with this error even here or at Development Forum.

GSMARENA

Update: A new batch of rumored specs have surfaced over on GSM Arena, and these seem to be more in line with what we'd expect of a new Nexus. According to an anonymous Google employee, that 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display mentioned above is just about the only spec to make the final cut. The processor, however, is more likely to be a dual-core 1.5GHz Exynos (that's right) with an accompanying dual-core PowerVR SGX543MP2 graphics chip. That rear facing camera? Try 8 megapixels with a newly beefed up sensor. The handset should also ship with a girthy 2,050mAh battery fully capable of juicing this apparent LTE / CDMA / GSM Android monster.

nice find

its interesting there is alot of conflicting information on this device....some sources still reporting a 1.2 dual core TI cpu rather than the 1.5 exynos and some reporting that despite other recent leaked specs that it may actually come with a 8mp camera not that....that is as big a deal for most users other than perception.
[Captivate General] KreepyKen:
All these discrepancies in specs are crazy.

Maybe the Verizon version (Droid Prime) has different specs than the phone that's hitting the other carriers (Galaxy Nexus).

Not that I'd even notice the difference, but I'm kind of hoping the AT&T variant gets the Exynos processor. I hear they scream.

And I really freaking hope this phone isn't exclusive with Verizon for a long period of time. I hate it when they do that.

If I have to wait more than a couple weeks after the Verizon launch, I'm going to call Samsung, keep asking to talk to the next manager up the chain, and when I've gotten the highest person they'll let me talk to, I'll unleash a string of expletives that would make my mom pass out followed by the plea "I'm stuck with AT&T...DON'T YOU WANT MY MONEY??????" Then I'll call Google and do the same thing.
