This is mighty interesting to hear. Anyone have issues with their power button not working all the time. I am on CM7.1 and I have tried different kernels, screen animation on scoured their forums for answers. It works intermittently and then not all forcing a battery pull to get back to working. NAND backing up and trying Fresh and stock rom to see if it persists. I know this is a hardware issue. I am on evo #2 and have screen lifting as well. I'm not a mooch but 3-4 resets a day to keep it working seems a little much. Testing now and will get back with results. I the meantime is this worth filing a claim?

Might be in the wrong place but I m considering going down this road.
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
You might just wanna take it to a repair center and see what they say. If they wanna charge you, call insurance and get it replaced.
[EVO 4G General] tdubbs27:
Thanks that sound faster. After testing it seems to be cm7.1. Looks like a long night of rom testing ahead. I'm going to put this in my back pocket for later.
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
wait what?
[EVO 4G General] tdubbs27:
Put his idea away for later if it turns into a hardware issue. Just re-read it...whoops
[EVO 4G General] meeklo062704:
At what point in the process do they lock you in where you have 30 days to complete the claim? I know at a certain point you can back out with no obligation, just not sure where it is. I remember doing it back in the day when I had a tp and was trying to get a tp2, but it said I had 30 days to finish. So I called directly and got them to give it up. Also, if they give you the 30 to complete it, and you don't, does it use up one of your claims?
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Ohhhh haha that makes sense
[EVO 4G General] SkuzFoz:
They're out again right now, I just got my Evo 3D!
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
They sure are sending out 3ds, I didn't do it cause I have 2 OG evos and tomorrow I'm trading one for a NS4G even, then supose to trade the other for a E4GT + $150.
[EVO 4G General] iUseJuGGZz:
I just tried this and she said there out so I will get the 3d...and then the lady said I gotta pay $100 for the deductible <_<
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
If my USB port doesn't recognize when plugged into any computer or charge...can i get a manufacture warranty? It can charge when plugged into a wall normally but just doesn't interacts with computers.

I don't have TEP.
[EVO 4G General] Fazulka:
Mine was replaced for broken USB port under manufacturer warranty, so yes.
[EVO 4G General] shazo85:
Might check with a Sprint store in the next few weeks. My USB port has been loose and I told them about it the day after I got my phone. The tech told me that usually it is 100 bucks however with it being reported the day after I got it if something happened with it then it would be free. Might just unroot and take it back in.
[EVO 4G General] AdriVelazquez:
So I just went through the insurance again! And I'm getting the Evo3D!

However, I did have to pay the $100 cause I reported it lost. But I'm super excited.

I loved interacting in this forum. It was a great time.
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Wait man! Did you actually lose it?
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
Probably not...
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
Definitely not lol......
[EVO 4G General] yashmathur08:
So if I broke my Evo I do nit have to pay deductible? Instead of losing?
[EVO 4G General] shazo85:
So is this all Sprint stores or is it a your miles may vary? I know someone that has a friend that works for Sprint so I'm trying to find out before I unroot and damage my USB port.
[EVO 4G General] SkuzFoz:
I think it only has to do with the fact that Asurion might have multiple claims/distribution centers. Mine came from Nashville, and I had to keep trying for 2 days.

It was a rush when I tried one evening and EVO3D_standard popped up.
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Yeah either way you have to pay a deductible to get a new phone. But if you break it instead of """"""losing""""""" it you wouldn't be lying and it wouldnt be insurance fraud. Just take a hammer to it! But before you do that I would make sure that on Asurion's website that you get a 3vo, cause you dont want it to get replaced with an OG evo haha
[EVO 4G General] piscesjoey:
Did yours come with the infamous 1.50 hboot that can only be unlocked through htc.dev?

Evo 3D on Tapatalk
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
No!!! My hboot was 1.3! And it was new in box!!
[EVO 4G General] AdriVelazquez:
No, I didn't actually lose it; however, I'm going to flash metro pcs and sell it for roughly $150.

$50 dollar profit.
[EVO 4G General] shazo85:
Just tried to file a claim with Asurion. All I got was a message saying that the issue can be fixed and to take it to a Sprint store. I'm tempted to just unroot then break the USB port that has been loose from the day I got this phone as a replacement. I was told that with me reporting it the day after I got the phone it would be replaced for free. After seeing that on Asurion I'm not sure now. My luck they might just fix it there.
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
I'm pretty sure when you report it lost they deactivate (brick) the device...
[EVO 4G General] AdriVelazquez:
They shipped out the package, and my old phone still works fine making calls and eveything. Hopefully this continues.
[EVO 4G General] piscesjoey:
They shipped yours today? I didn't think Asurion did any shipping ok Sundays

Evo 3D on Tapatalk
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Arent they going to see that you're still using a phone that you reported lost?
[EVO 4G General] Active_Matrix:
I just tried doing a claim, and it came up that they will send me the OG Evo!
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
You just have to keep trying man!
[EVO 4G General] Active_Matrix:
LoL, believe me I will!
[EVO 4G General] SmokeyEVO:
HBoot 1.50 is a good thing to have, is it not?
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
I believe they call that insurance fraud.
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
+1
[EVO 4G General] piscesjoey:
No cuz that means you have no choice but to use HTC method to root, which isn't even a full root cuz it won't put your phone to S-off, & on top of that HTC will blacklist your device when you use their method.

[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Yeah exactly what I was saying haha
[EVO 4G General] SimmIsengard:
Is there anyway to dial back 1.50?
[EVO 4G General] pspunderground:
I find it hilarious that OGs are out when Asurion still has Heros in stock...

Sent from one of the very few OG EVOs left...
[EVO 4G General] SmokeyEVO:
Ok, so what about 2.16.00001? Came across site that has a ton of radio updates and I'm looming to flash.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485
[EVO 4G General] piscesjoey:
That is the latest hboot for the original Evo which Alpha-Rev cracked over 2 months ago, so you're able to use Revolutionary to root your OG Evo just fine. I was speaking about the Evo 3D when I said that you could only use HTC method to root if you have the 1.50 hboot.

Evo 3D on Tapatalk
[EVO 4G General] AdriVelazquez:
I ,however, choose to not activate the new phone and keep this one on. Ant lost phone can be utilized by the person who found it.

Either way, this verifies that they are offering it.
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
So what's the process to start a manufacturer's warranty claim?
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
Its seems like they got more new/refurbished(most likely refurb) OG Evo back in stock.

You are suppose to bring it to a Sprint store or call to get it activated. If you don't they will get suspicious. It is up to you if you want to take that risk.
[EVO 4G General] SkuzFoz:
I think this is the happiest sight in the world for me right now, I was kinda just tired of my OG.
[EVO 4G General] godson32:
It might just be the rom ur running?
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Hahaha have fun with it!
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
So they are giving OGEvo out now? I was waiting to make a claim because my flash stopped working and my phone is just really beat up. Just checking if they are still giving out Evo 3d's.
[EVO 4G General] shazo85:
Nope. It is not a software issue. I had this problem before i rooted. Also i used the same ROM on my last phone with no issue till i unrooted to install gingerbread. Want to do this but fear now that I would get hBoot 1.5.
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
Doh, I called HTC for my manufacturer's warranty and they told me that EVO 4G devices are still repairable. They would fix the device and send it back to me. Not EVO 3D replacement :(

Wondering if it is worth the hassle of paying shipping and mailing my phone to fix my USB. Or should I just live with it until my phone upgrade?
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
Ok is this manufacturer's warranty or TEP people are getting the Evo3d with?
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
The 3ds are from TEP. +$100
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
That's odd, it shows that they are giving og evos now instead of the3vo. Look s like they got more in stock for replacement.

Edit, nvm just checked and they ran out of og evos. So for those that really lost their phones or have damaged, hi go it.
[EVO 4G General] piscesjoey:
LOL its funny how one minute they can have replacements & the next they're out of them again

I have a feeling my wife will lose hers within the next two months. Lol. My son uses version to watch Netflix and play angry birds. Change the wallpaper Ect. He's only 2
[EVO 4G General] Tipharet:
Clear lie. Asurion doesnt have iphones, apple care handles that nor or iphones covered by TEP.
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
Lol, not to burn anyone. He did clearly say `LOL yea im dreaming not getting an iPhone`. :P

Edit and the 3Vo if back trololololo. Whoever if getting the refurbished og evo is missing out. (unless they didn't want the 3Vo in the first place.

Fill out a claim and before you actually submit it they'll tell you what replacement you'll get.

Is there a way for me to get EVO3d I only have repair covered and not theft with Sprint
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
"Equipment Service & Repair Program (ESRP) is a monthly subscription plan that offers coverage for problems resulting from normal wear and tear or out-of-warranty mechanical and electrical failure."

Whatever falls within these parameters and if they ran out of OG Evos.

Which unfortunately they got them back in stock......i mean yay they got them in stock.

Go oG Evo
[EVO 4G General] Dany8907:
Will this work if I have insurance from best buy, or do I need TEP?
[EVO 4G General] foogazie:
So I tried today and while going thru the process it gave me a message that I meed to contact them for my protection. Any ideas why? I actually had a claim almost a year ago when I lost my phone, could that be the reason?
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
Don't worry just call. I never made a claim before and they made me call and now my girl has a brand new evo3d.
[EVO 4G General] gunfromsako:
Just be careful if u call u might get locked into a 4G instead of a 3d if they have them back in stock... Tell them u lost it and if its a 4G replacement just say u want more time to look for it. Ha look at me just got a new 3d and still posting from a 4g... Transition time...

Fired out of my classy post-apocalyptic Evo and onto your face...
[EVO 4G General] shazo85:
Just tried and it said I would get an EVO. If I report it as being dropped and damaged would that get me one for free? Also has anyone received a 3D with hBoot 1.5 yet?
[EVO 4G General] Cuppeerr:
Yeah, you still have to pay a deductible though. Also, my hboot was 1.4 and I got mine last week.
[EVO 4G General] piscesjoey:
Mines was 1.3 & got it last week

[EVO 4G General] UkRaInIaN01355:
is this still going on? and is there any way to check whether or not they have OG evos?
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
Go start a claim and see what it says you will get and stop right there.
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:
Just checked and it told me that the evo is the phone that they have on record. then it told me If thats the phone I want to replace..I haven't done this before but I'm assuming they're back in stock?

Edit: i meant og evo back in stock
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
If I remember its the next screen that tells you what it will be replaced with.
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:
Haha dammit. I sketched out and left cz the bottom told me i wouldn't be able to change my phone after submitting. But whatever imma check again

(I was at step 3 out of 6 I believe )
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
Yeah your only confirming that that's the phone you have and if you change phones on that line you would have to have them change it. No big deal.
[EVO 4G General] cybervyrus8587:
I have a question... If I "lost" my fone, and got a replacement... Them "found" it under something ;-)... Is that insurance fraud?

nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
[EVO 4G General] AdriVelazquez:
Got my phone two days ago with hboot 1.4 also!

Funny thing though, I checked with sprint and my old OG Evo still has a clean ESN.

I guess they forgot to register it as stolen.
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
Yes cause you have knowledge, but it would be hard to prove. I am not agreeing with this but make sure its off. Also send the og in.
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
How can you check if the phone that you have had a clean esn? Just wondering ;).

Also, they have the refurbished og evos back in stock. So if you want a 3Vo you have to wait.
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
If you still have the meid you can just call sprint and ask without giving them any of your info.
[EVO 4G General] AdriVelazquez:
Exactly what this guy said. You can even do it through the online chat thingy.
[EVO 4G General] bigtoysrock:
How do you know I'm a guy!? You stalking me!? :p
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
If you found the lost phone, you are obligated to call and send it in to asurion.
[EVO 4G General] AdriVelazquez:
True; however, they have little evidence of you really having it...or just reselling it again.
[EVO 4G General] dominican504:
can some one help me? my evo stuck on a boot loop
[EVO 4G General] AtiRadeon1:
It is off topic, but you have to go back into recovery wipe cache and flash whatever you were doing again. Make sure to not flash more than one at a time before a reboot.

Otherwise make a thread in Q/A with more information.

Drats looks like they got a lot of refurbish og evos now, who knows when they will run out this time. >.>
[EVO 4G General] dominican504:
I can't go to recovery it wont let me
[EVO 4G General] Steven 1:
Grab a pc36100 img of amon RA recovery and let your bootloader scan it. From there go to recovery and flash away.

Back on topic: when do you think they will run out again? A new 3vo sounds so sick for 100 bucks ;)
[EVO 4G General] cybervyrus8587:
Is this some kind of small print?

nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!
[EVO 4G General] cybervyrus8587:
That's what I thought... I don't believe they can track a fone like sprint can. But I dunno. Anyone else want to chime in about this?

nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!

[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
I was having reboot issues with my OG Evo, especially when it was plugged in, and even more when I was trying to use GPS. Went to the sprint store on Tuesday, and a replacement phone was sent to the sprint store (yesterday), and while the ticket said Evo 4G, a 3D was in the box. And I didn't have to pay the $100 deductible, since it wasn't water/damage related. So, I sort of won the lottery. The phone didn't come with the battery, but luckily, the sprint tech found a battery laying around. Not sure the Hboot just yet, as I haven't checked.

I'm not 100% sure the 3D is better than the Evo, at least on first glance. It lags a little in general. Removing a lot of the widgets on the homescreen helped a lot, but I would expect a lot more from this powerhouse (on paper).

Edit: I'm Hboot 1.50

Now im really pissed..i was already unhappy by reading peaple doing fraud just to get a new phone but now its enougth. I have the same prob has you do..after 5 min of usage my phone reboots and gets on a bootloop..last sunday i was at the store and the rep made a claim for a new phone. Every time i go to phoneclaim.com i have a message that the phone is out of stock, and you had a claim after mine and already have a phone!!!!! Wtf is wrong???
[EVO 4G General] tokuzumi:
I guess it all depends on where you live. I'm in the southeast. And I know if I saw the bag in which the phone was shipped, it would say Louisville, KY. Not sure if Sprint has multiple locations they use for shipping phones.

And, I don't think my phone was put through the Asurion process (phoneclaim). I don't know how the stores handle non-insurance claims.

Here's my wish list, in order of priority:

working wired tether

sense-based

gingerbread

My Verizon

NFL mobile

The wired tether seems to be the sticking point. I think the leaks started disabling it after a certain date, at which point it was disabled in a lot of roms. It works in Das bamf 1.0.4, but later versions broke it but fixed My Verizon and NFL.

I've tried several others and haven't found one that works yet. Anyone have a ROM that covers these bases? Would CM7 work, minus the sense?

Thanks

I think Sky Raider will fit all of that except for maybe My Verizon. There is an update coming soon but I don't know if My Verizon was something given much attention.

KillaSense is my Rom. It's GB with the latest base 2.11.605.5, stock Sense 2.1, working wifi tether (go to wifi tether app, hit menu, settings, check routing fix and your good to go), working my Verizon, and I had NFL mobile working (hint: try signing in to my Verizon app first). Check it out.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad r:
Wired tether didn't work on SoaB or KillaSense. Keep in mind that I am talking about WIRED tether (aka Internet Connection Mode), not WiFi. The PC I'm tethering to doesn't have a wireless card.

SoaB didn't even have it in the menu options. If you can find it, let me know - it is a great looking ROM. KillaSense had the option, but when you check the box, the wheel just spins forever and doesn't do anything.

Wired Tether worked on SkyRaider, but My Verizon didn't. Wired tether is more important to me, so I'm going to stick with that until I find a different ROM that fits all of my needs. Thanks guys!

Why not use the rooted stock 605.5 gingerbread? Does all of the above and still root for any apps you want it for. I just downloaded My Verizon from market and it works.
