This is old news. During the summer, it was widely known that you could do this and do it for free. HTC was sending them out to people and not requiring your old one. People began scamming HTC and now look at what happened...Hassle was implemented. Good going you little craps. (You know who you are).

[HTC Sensation] acexnx316:
Oh... my bad then... I def didn't see/find any posts about it during my research, so I really wasn't sure how long the recall had been in place. But hopefully this will help at least one person out. Didn't realize they were doing it for free (Like they still should be) when it first began; however, it is understandable that if they were getting ripped by dishonest dinks who take advantage of the "honor system", then I guess it doesn't take many to spoil it for everyone [and is a little more understandable]. But to me, it was def worth it anyway... thanks again everyone!
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Had the same problem..........

I had the same problem with the on & off button. I couldn't get the screen to stay on long enough to slide the ring. It happened after I installed a few free apps from the Market. I didn't have a problem like this until these installs. I found out that this LED program I installed caused the buttons to work improperly. Since I took if off a couple of weeks ago, I have had no probs.
[HTC Sensation] acexnx316:
Glad to hear it! Def glad this issue isn't as wide-spread as I thought... Or maybe it WAS and everyone just got their new shells over the summer when the recall was first issued?
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
+1

thanks alot you F's!!! :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
My shell made quecking noises when pushed on the bottom end. Wrote a mail to htc and within a week or two I recieved a new one... Without having to send the old one back, nor paying for the shipment.

This was 4 weeks ago...
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
perhaps it's different for HTC US.

damn people here in the US... someone posts "free", even if it's a scam, people go apesh**t, leaving people with legitimate problems having to deal with the hassle.

ugh! :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] acexnx316:
Hmm... that's weird, cuz I placed my order no more than 2 weeks ago... but you're probably right. It probably is different for HTC USA cuz of our stupid, greedy, American asses :)
[HTC Sensation] alvaradorocks:
For me, the volume buttons fell off entirely and I ignored it for a bit by using volume+ but it became very anoying having to unlock to put on vibrate or to silence a call or to simply browse recovery.

Called htc after submitting an email with support and they covered everything for me. I'm in the us of assholes by the way. I'm surpriced they assisted me so nicely but maybe that had to do with the fact that I had gone thru 9 sensations until finding the golden apple between the limes.
[HTC Sensation] Knucklessg1:
My volume button fell off, but i taped it back on. I think i may give them a call.

[HTC Sensation] mefdahl:
Confirmed:

I just called the first number and got a replacement back cover coming for my Sensation (I lost my volume buttons).

The didn't offer me any options, just that they where gonna tag me for $1 and ship the cover. Once I get I have 15 days to ship it back on my own dime (or they will charge my card $55).

I'm just happy to have a volume rocker back again!
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
I made this post back in August and people thought I was lyin...lol Oh well.
[HTC Sensation] acexnx316:
Ya, lol. Funny how things work out haha... Wish I had seen your thread back in August... Might have saved me $300 (From buying my Samsung Galaxy S II). But I needed a working phone at the time and had just given up on my Sensation that same month... Just glad this post is helping a few others, hopefully it will save them the headache(s) I went through...
[HTC Sensation] acexnx316:
You're right (Although I do not know what country you are in, so I will list a few larger ones; if you do not find the number you need here, or want to see if there is a closer office, go to http://www.htc.com/europe/contact/ and scroll down 'til you see the section that says "Customer Service", click on the button that says "Contact Us"; then when the new window pops up, click on the "Call Us" tab and choose your country from the drop down menu). I probably should have put this in my post originally... (And have now added the following in my original post):

[HTC Sensation] strumf666:
Hm if the buttons degenerate with use it would be nice to have a cheap ebay supply available. I am also having the power button problem but as most noticed with ICS roms it has been partially fixed in software. Using the recovery menu is frustrating though since it apparently doesn't apply key-press filter.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Try the new 4EXT touch, then you don't have to use your power button in recovery.

[HTC Sensation] philje123:
Contacted HTC UK support the other day. Reported my squeaky back cover and dodgy power button.

They're sending a replacement back cover out free of charge. Hope it fixes the squeaky-ness above all as it's really irritating.
[HTC Sensation] Idle Mind:
Just thought I'd add that I emailed HTC UK support via the contact form on the website - they got back to me within a few hours requesting my address so they could post me a new back cover, no mention of sending mine back or anything.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this actually fixes the problem for me, and more so that it's a revised version of the casing which won't break again within a few months!
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
Awesome awesome awesome! Thank you very much :D
[HTC Sensation] philje123:
Received my new cover today.

I compared it to the old one and looks pretty identical apart from the new one having extra little grey squares that look like the grounding point.

The part numbers are identical. The manufacture date on the new one is actually older that the older than the old one though.

Oh well. Brand new case whether it fixes the problems or not.
[HTC Sensation] tpaxadpom:
can you post pictures of those grey squares? Any squeaking? I need to get mine replaced. I had one replaced at T-mobile and it was fine on day one. Then the next day creaking/squeaking came back. I will call them tomorrow.

[HTC Sensation] AngrySalad:
Ya, I got home from work one day and noticed my volume rockerwas missing. I called HTC and they were very helpful and offered the different ways to replacethe back. No muss; no fuss.
[HTC Sensation] darkmantra:
Had the same problem the somehow the power button got loose and also the menu button doesnt illuminate, after calling HTC they pickup and repair then send it back to me free of charge. according to report they replace the LCM (LCD) and Switch Board FPC-Assy. :)
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Seems they're not so nice any more. My volume rocker has fallen off but they want me to send my phone in for examination. Luckily though, I do have the broken rocker, and my gel case keeps it in place, so everything still works and I don't have to go without my phone for ages. This part of their email response really got my goat:

Arrogant bastards. I made sure to point out how well the One S micro arc oxidisation coating is holding up for people :D
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
Remember, the responsibility for repairing your phone lies with the retailer you bought it from, not HTC, so if HTC refuse to repair it, quote your statutory rights to the retailer :)
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
Or, I can super glue the rocker back on in 5 seconds :D
[HTC Sensation] Y2kgsxr750:
***UPDATE****

They do NOT require you to send back the old cover anymore, and they are NOT charging for exchanges! They are free.. You will need your IMEI or SN number. and a valid US address. Say its under a year old may help too
[HTC Sensation] Tangent_:
I can confirm what Y2kgsxr750 posted... My volume rocker fell out a few days ago and I called HTC yesterday. They asked for my IMEI, email address, phone number, and home address. They asked when I bought the phone which is gonna be a year ago this upcoming Saturday but didn't require proof so I guess I didn't need to take the time to get that from TMo. They didn't ask for a credit card number, and just asked that I discard the old cover in an environmentally responsible manner.
[HTC Sensation] beyondx4:
Out of warranty phone?

This had just happened to me last week! I have two HTC Sensations, but they're both out of warranty. One of my phone's volume button has disappeared. I'm just curious if HTC will honor this recall for phones that are out of warranty?

Oh, in case I'm not covered under the recall, has anyone attempted to replace the volume button with the ones for sale on Ebay? I'm tempted to purchase a few (if it works well) to keep on hand in case this happens again. Thanks.!
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
The volume buttons just drop in place, use a dab of superglue to keep it there.
[HTC Sensation] cynamun:
My back cover is on its way.

My button broke in 2 and I haven't found the other piece. My phone is out of warranty and I bought it on eBay. The guy at HTC was really nice. I couldn't read the number and had to borrow my husband's reading glasses. I told him he had witnessed a woman officially becoming old. We had a good laugh.

At first he told me the policy and then came back and said I didn't need to send the old one back. Maybe he felt bad for me. Then he asked if I could verify that I'm over 18. I reminded him that I had just proven it by needing reading glasses.

Until it gets here I'm going to try to borrow hubby's back cover because he almost never uses his phone. I've installed 4ext so I shouldn't be using the button so much.

What is the purpose of the donor phone? Is that just so you can look up Boost's settings, or are we kind of replacing the donor phone with the ET4G?

this post has to be clean of post stating donor etc. type of words so this can stay up for everyone else to use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steindog99:
According to the new FCC laws, this type of thing is not illegal. Modifying an esn is only illegal if the intent is to defraud. If you are still going to pay Boost mobile money for your service, than changing the esn is not defrauding Boost mobile. Do not confuse company policies with actual FCC laws...

You will lose the settings for data and will have to re-input it only in the event of a factory reset using the option under settings -> privacy. Wiping any data through odin or recovery and installing/updating roms will not affect anything.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Digglez:
so i did this to the letter , i have done 2 og epics before this and had them work out fine 2 things im unsure of you didnt specify where the sprint and where the boost ha and aaa keys go i assumed sprints went to profile one 0 and boosts went to profile 1 so i did get those done and second it tells me to select the active profile as 0 but every write to phone and it reboots i read from phone again (in qpst) and it says active profile is one again

as of now im getting 3g very speroadically and when i try to make a call i get " your

account could not be validated " and it wont let me send or recive mms messages im really kinda stressed out because i have a really cool phone that until i get this done right is basically broke , im stuck using my donor phone during the day and it just sucks any help would be really appriciated
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidc23:
This is a really good thread!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MuDDuQ:
You did it right just stay on the call when it says you cant be validated and after a couple minutes a sprint rep will come on and say hello i see you are having trouble making a call and ask you what kind of phone you have just tell them its an incognito or whatever your doner is and they will say thank you I will reset it you need to power your phone off for 30 seconds and turn it back on and make a call and you will be reset.

I fought a phone for hours with this problem and was surprised how easy it was to fix by just waiting on the call

voice and mms issues after flash for boostmobile

Hi guys.

I successfully flashed my HTC EVO to BoostMobile...

Voice started working after writing NV Items and NAM Items using CDMA WorkShop...everything went as expected. Its when I got to the point of programing using QPST Service Programming...ha and aaa passwords for profiles 0 and 1 as well as the correct settings...but I get the following error message:

"The mobile reported the following errors while writing NV items when writing."

NV Item Status

NV_UE_IMEI_I NV_READONLY_S....

Voice was working as soon as I was done with CDMA WS, I actually made a call and checked voice messages myself, is after using QPST Service Programming that I lost voice and it wont let me designate profile 0 as the active profile. Now DATA works on 3G, but I lost voice and text/mms messages.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

E4GT on Boost Mobile

I've seen lots of horror stories on Google from Boost Mobile users that switch over to the shrinkage plan (plans are cancelled for no apparent reason, payments are not accepted while using auto re-boost... etc). I'm about to put my Epic 4G Touch on Boost Mobile using this Shrinkage plan. I'm wondering if anyone here with an Epic 4G Touch had their plan cancelled by Boost Mobile for using too much data (or for any other reason).

If you put it in perspective, anyone using the E4GT on Boost will use a lot more 3G data when compared to Boost phones, and also signing up with the Shrinkage plan... it feels like opening a can of worms.

What's your opinion ?

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

No, No No No!

The keys for Profile 0 and Profile 1 both come from the Donor phone or you will not get 3G!!!

Profile 0-

-HA Shared ....... "secret" in text

-AAA Shared...... your diag rx keys you get in QXDM from your donor by typing the command

Requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof

Profile 1-

-HA Shared ....... "secret" in text

-AAA Shared....... a 6 digit key you can find in your donor phone by dialing ##DATA# or the diag rx keys you find in QXDM with the command

Requestnvitemread ds_mip_ss_user_prof1

Therefore your provisioning for profile 0 and profile 1 should look something like

Profile 0

HA Shared: "secret"

AAA Shared: whatever numbers you got in QXDM

NAI: YOURDONORMEID@hcm.sprintpcs.com

Home address: 0.0.0.0

Primary HA address: 68.28.15.12

Secondary HA address: 68.28.31.12

SPI: 4D2

SPI: 4D2

Rev Tunnel Preferred: Checked

Now Profile 1 information below………

HA Shared: "secret"

AAA Shared: whatever numbers came up in QXDM

NAI: YourName@myboostmobile.sprintpcs.com (or whatever it says on your donor)

Home address: 0.0.0.0

Primary HA address: 255.255.255.255

Secondary HA address: 68.28.89.76

SPI: 4D2

SPI: 4D2

Need account?

I just bought a bad esn epic 4g touch for a good deal and was considering trying to do this. Do I just need the donor phone or do I also have to have an account with boost and have the phone on a plan?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
you need to setup a boost account with the donor phone and port your number over to the donor phone if you want the number ported. Once you have done that and the donor phone on boost is active and good to go, then you can start to xfer the info from the donor to the bad esn ET.

Why dont you wait a couple of months, till the ET is on boost then just have the bad esn ET activated on boost. Unless sprint is also going to flag bad sprint ET esn's phones on its little brother from being activated.

This will be interesting to see
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Sprint will still flag it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
I had a feeling they would since boost is pretty much sprint without roaming
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] labelexpired:
just use a donor phone. Google it online really easy to do :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
yea I know, I am already on boost..lol, this was just something the came to mind about bad ET esns from sprint and allowing them on boost. Since boost was starting to carry the ET.

Deleted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Hmm your only 4g right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
I did the donor phone awhile back, I am talking about future ET's on boost from sprint without going through donor.

you already answered the bad esn's will still be flagged, but cleaned should be ok to xfer over to boost without going via donor.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] youngchris29:
What would make you think that boost would accept sprint et's? It will probably be the same as the evo design 4g where boost has their own version of the phone and doesn't accept sprint versions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
true I know where you are coming from, since I was talking to boost cust care this was all just talk they just said there should not be any issue but could not be sure till the phone was out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] labelexpired:
they said it wouldnt be an issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Unknown Zone:
yup, that is what they told me, but your statement make more sense, we will all know in a couple of months when the ET is out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eznacho:
Man if I didn't read these steps and try to perform them about a million times, I didn't do it once. Still no 3g or internet at all even though I do get the 3g symbol to light up.

Now I have a samsung galaxy s II or E4GT SPH-D710 whatever you want to call it :)

I used the samsung rant as donor phone.

I have done the NV ITEMS write (except 1192 and 1194) on the E4GT.

I have written the profile 0 mymeid@blahblahblah.com ha and aaa 32 digit key written as well from NVITEMS466 (AFTER THE 10) SPI 4D2 SPI 4D2, enable rev tunneling, ip addresses all match with guide.

I have profile 1 name@blahblahblahblah.com ha key is filled in, NOW HERE IS WHERE I kind of get stuck (on the guide it tells me it should be a 6 digit AAA key and another guide tells me it should be 12 digit key but when I do the scan on QXDM it gives me a 14 digit key, I have tried inputting the first 6 digits the last 6 digits the first 12 digits and the last 12 digits of the "14 DIGIT KEY I GOT FROM QXDM SCAN for PROF 1"

the IP addresses all match and REV TUNNELING enabled.

is there any settings I need to mess with when I open up up the PPP TAB on UM or AN???

What am I doing wrong here? I feel like I'm REALLY CLOSE TO GETTING 3G WORKING just need 1 more small thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eznacho:
I'm having the same problem with 3g not working just no error or anything
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eznacho:
Update 3g 4g talk and text now working

Okay so here's an update to what I was doing wrong, as far as the question for getting 14 digits from the rant "BOOST AAA SECRET" the answer to that is. Use the last 12 digits of the 14 digits it gives you. Mine was 06747276626971, so I used 747276626971. (I had a problem with writing the wrong key down which was making me not get internet at all. Input IPs and all that good stuff rev tunneling enabled.

For those of you who are having problems with ACTIVE USER CHANGING TO 1 when you want it to go to 0 please don't take what I am giving you as a sure fix but this is what I did: When I opened up QPST CONFIGURATION and did SERVICE PROGRAMMING, HIT OK (just like every other time, but) before I hit "READ FROM PHONE" I went over to the "M.IP" tab and I changed ACTIVE USER to 0, then I hit read did my modifications to the PROFILES hit "WRITE TO PHONE" and the next time I checked my phone FULLY WORKING 3G YAY! 1000kbps in my APT.

Thanks to everyone on this one I swear I went to 100 different sites for help I sure hope someone can make good use of this.

*ON NOTE CREDIT GOES TO IFUXWITUZ... don't forget to change your settings to this

I just modded my 4g mac and wiped data and cache came back to my nandroid backup and now no 3g. I went to the company because I couldn't get the incognito to pop the 1192 address.

So frustrated. I have both the sprint ha and aaa as well as the Sanyo incognito ha and aaa. Keep getting error 67 password username mismatch.
