[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Something no one seems to have considered yet - yes, the $130 deductible isn't pleasant, but its a whole lot more pleasant than paying $500-$600 that would be the only option (aside from buying a phone without a warantee via craigslist or adding a ghostline with data/changing one's phone number to that ghostline if you're even able to remove data from your existing line to begin with etc etc) while still on the contract (or installment plan) tied to your device.

Also, someone said something about how Asurion hadn't sent a charger out even after having shown a retail sales associate how the charger was mangled. I agree it sucks that the insurance didn't send a charger in that case, but the sales associate has little to no control over what an Asurion employee can send out on a claim. The asurion employee themselves have little to no control either for that matter. I'm not meaning to judge, only to educate.

In no way shape or form do I represent any particular company, but I will say that I do get benefits that allow me two discounted phones per year, and in light of that I STILL carry full protection on both mine and my girlfriend's phone. $130 is a lot easier to swallow for a phone that will still be covered by warantee than any other option available on the spot. =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] pavoid:
Just in case people missed this little bit of info. I got a brand new, sealed, accessories and all Amaze sent to me yesterday morning.

I cannot speak for everyone else but in my personal experience Asurion delivered!
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I had to replace my first amaze and was sent a new box complete with charger battery headphones etc. At the time the phone had been released for only a month so I was expecting a new box, but as shelf stock drops, and they start fixing the phones that have been turned in, you get more of the 'refurbished' stock that they need to get rid of.
[HTC Amaze 4G] woulfey:
When I replaced my first Amaze I had to send back the unit only and reuse my battery and back cover...very strange...if I wanted a new back cover I had to get it directly from HTC

- being Scottish means I like to hang 'em out and rock it like I'm William Wallace on an Amaze 4G
[HTC Amaze 4G] bmbrad:
Did you have to return the chewed up one?
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Let's face it. It's the device that's malfunctioning... Not the battery. Not the back. Ive never understood what the big deal is unless your back is totally mangled or scratched up which would be understandable, (yet preventable through proper care). Long as the replacement phone is sufficiently functional. I won't say there aren't any bad eggs cuz I know from experience there are... But in the last 6 year's of having t mobile, I've probably had about 15-20 different phones and an average of one or two exchanges for some of those devices. If I've had approx 6 or 7 exchanges, I've only had one or two tines in which the replacement device wasn't acceptible. It's a hotbot a hassle to have to send a phone right back, so I understand, but from ky experience a bad exchange isn't all that common.

Concern is understandable, but its a bit paranoid to make a huge deal outbid getting a phone-only exchange in my opinion (no offense intended). A lotbof these phone-only exchanges also happen to be nearly brand new devices that were returns from buyers remoslrse periods. And most of those remorse returns are from ficle consumers who are merely picky and indecisive.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pavoid:
Yes, I do need to return the chewed up one.

We have hard shell D30 cases on both of our Amaze's, but the dog was able to destroy the camera lens. Other than that the case protected the back completely.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
pics of the phone and dog?
[HTC Amaze 4G] pavoid:
I will post pics of both when I get home.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pavoid:

I sent the damaged phone off today.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
Wanted to let people know this...

If you have a family plan and swap phones among your family members, DON'T buy the insurance! They will not replace your phone if the phone isn't being used for the phone number you bought the insurance for when the damage occurs. For the same reason, the insurance isn't transferable if you sell/give the phone to someone.:mad:

When I found that out the hard way, I complained to the customer service and, at least, they refunded some of the insurance fee I've paid.:o

Well, it was true 3-4 years ago, but things might have changed. Anyone knows?
[HTC Amaze 4G] iGoOsE76:
nope same deal happens now.. nothing has change. I poke to a customer service rep a few months ago and they said that the insurance that I pay monthly goes towards only to the phone number I used it on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
That sucks...

Well, it seems that's how they make money... depriving long-time fee paying customers of legit insurance claim, and giving a brand new phone to a customer who just signed up for the insurance a few months ago!

The worst thing is that the T-mo sales people still offer insurance to me whenever I get a new phone, and I have to educate them every time. They go, "Really? I thought you just need to use the phone a couple of times with the correct sim card before giving it to someone."

That's what somebody else suggested, but if you go to share something, you get an alternative option to share with Facebook for HTC Sense, but you can't link your account, since there is no option... Says it posted, and I thought, maybe it linked to the app in a way, but nope...

Once you sign in to the Facebook app HTC Sense will ask you to authorize Facebook for Sense there is no way to dismiss it and a simple click authorizes it

The only way to get around this is by disabling the Facebook for Sense app in the app settings, awesome new feature of ICS btw

[HTC One S] shinkinrui:
T-Mobile acknowledges a known issue with data connectivity on the One S:

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4288

I'm guessing this is the same issue others have reported on the EU One S(wherein the data indicator jumps back and forth between H and 3G and takes ages to load), but the T-Mobile US software, like on all their recent phones, is modded so the indicator will only ever say 4G.

Reviewer has also stated that using EU-based ROMs on the T-Mobile US One S will cause "data bugs," so I'm wondering if this is what he is referring to. If it is, the bug appears to exist in both the T-Mobile US ROM and the EU ROM.

Has anyone had this issue in their T-Mobile US One S? What are your experiences? I've mostly been at home and on wifi since I got the phone a few days ago.
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
I had an issue with using an EU rom and the data switching back and forth from H and 3G. I reverted to stock nandroid (provided by reviewer) and haven't had an issue with switching between 3G and 4G while at work. As with you I am on Wi-Fi at home so I'm not too sure if I am affected. But I do know that while I was on the EU rom I had drastic drops in signal and network speeds as compared to the stock rom.

Sent from H1S using xda Prem
[HTC One S] jacewt:
Interesting. I am using stock US T-mobile, as of yet unrooted because I might take it back. Connectivity is soo spotty. I have not contacted t-mobile yet because I want to collect as much info as possible. It's either 4g or nothing, that's true. And often, it's nothing. My old 3g phone would drop to edge and stay connected. This one will just drop the connection and that happens to often.
[HTC One S] seangprice:
I've been using the One S for about a week and zero issues. My residence is only covered by edge but Park City and Salt Lake City I get solid 4g with zero drops or hiccups.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
No issues here. I drop from HSPA to Edge in a fringe area but data never stops.
[HTC One S] ValliJoe:
I don't have any data problems only time I see it low is when I turn it on it goes from 2g 3g to 4g. I haven't encountered any problems yet other then WiFi dropping then reboots when I try to reconnect
[HTC One S] JohnHenrySDM:
I'm affected. Many times when I open the browser to search for something, I'll get the No Data Connection window pop up, even though status bar shows 3G or 4G. I close that, reload the screen, try again and it usually works. It's as though it fails to hook up to the network until it tries a few times.
[HTC One S] mikea3000:
I dont really have data drop issues. My 2 issues are that it switches from hspda to umts periodically, but that doesnt affect data.

I have a concern though that I feel like reception is poorer on this phone. my gs2 would hold a better signal. In fact on the gs2 i never dropped calls, whereas on the one s i had a few.

Can a radio update fix this?
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
Quite possibly.
[HTC One S] mikea3000:
u think a radio fix can correct an issue with one handset getting a stronger signal than another? isnt that a hw issue?
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
What? You're comparing two different devices. A radio issue can cause lower signal so a radio update can give you more signal.
[HTC One S] shadow.8:
Same here, also in the Salt Lake area... maybe this a regional issue?
[HTC One S] Samugai:
Same issue here in Boston. I don't get dropped but the signal goes up and down most of the time.
[HTC One S] strker45:
I'm not having any issues and I'm getting great data speed

Good god, praise Heysoose H Christ. Finally SOMEBODY acknowledges there's an issue.

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

I just performed one, and got the delay/interrupt, my results were:

Download: 110kbps

Upload: 710kbps

A previous attempt last week netted 9102 down, 2065 up....that was obviously WITHOUT the bug.
[HTC One S] AndroidDude21:
I am near Chicago First let me just say for some reason my reception really never goes past 3 bars and sometimes I have none at all in places the sgs2 would have plenty dont know if this is just me...but man when data is good its phenomenal I have got up to 25mb down and 3 up but the interruptions in reception and data kill that pretty bad..so I am very torn about this phone I hope it isn't hardware related because the EU version has the same bug..
[HTC One S] tdtylert:
Same here most of the time I only have a max of 3 bars and I noticed sometime when I have all bars when i pick it up I lose a bar or two
[HTC One S] masterkamon842:
Yes, phone does have connectivity issues. I live in New York and my previous phone would never go down one single bar on 4G, except in my job where my 4G goes down to 2 bars.

Now my bars go up and down like waves and jumps from 4G to 3G constantly, and in my job I just get 2G. It really sucks. Let's hope it's fixed with a hardware update and that it's not the actual chip.
[HTC One S] stonepop:
Experience is exactly as you specify. Stock Rom always displayed 4g....custom Roms flip between 3g, h and I even saw an e today?!

Although time with stock was limited...I do believe, whether just a label or not, seemed data was faster with stock. Regardless....no complaints.:)
[HTC One S] adamhlj:
I don't think I have ever had a phone with Tmous where this wasn't a problem. I just figured it was T-mobile's network kicking me off so I wouldn't hog all the bandwidth. In other words, every smartphone I have had with tmobile has had this issue.
[HTC One S] rolliesandoval:
Signal Drops

I experience a complete signal failure after using WiFi and GPS. It Frustrates me. Sometimes it comes back sometimes I Have to Reset. It Pisses me off. I already exchanged my phone yesterday but this one seems to be worse. SMH.. Has anyone resolved this issue. I read there was an update. for UK unbranded/unlocked phones. Can I root and flash a different kernel? Has anyone tried that without issues?
[HTC One S] AndroidDude21:
Respectfully have to disagree with you...had the galaxy s2 and it was never a problem when it came to reception and data connectivity..if it was it was definitely not consistent like the one s..I love the phone I just hope these things can get figured out because I love the extras but I dont like to lose the basics.
[HTC One S] orenfl:
It seems as if the 1.78 firmware update for the unbranded EU phone did sort some issues although some are still here...
[HTC One S] godjunior:
Yes! I have noticed the issue since day 1 ( i bought the phone on the release day) I complained to tmobile on 4/27, they didn't know about the issue and just asked me to swap phone. Did that two weeks ago, but the connection issue still exist, so i contacted both T-mobile and HTC seems like they have heard of this issue and i quote from HTC " is putting this issue on the priority for a fix" I hope to hear back from them soon. :(

p.s. neither party is able to tell me why the issue exist.
[HTC One S] adamhlj:
Most of my smartphones have been HTC phones, so that probably tells you something, lol. I am gonna try out the galaxy nexus, tho to see if I like it over the One S.
[HTC One S] sdforce:
Related issue. When I send texts, my phone will give an error message stating that the message failed after multiple attempts. Does any one else have this issue?
[HTC One S] x1tyme:
Is everybody have this signal problems using stock Tmo U.S.A or EU rom?

I don't have 4g-3g switch bug if I'm using Stock U.S rom, but if I'm running EU rom then it happened.
[HTC One S] nieves53:
Stock US no issue here, but if I flash a EU is very noticeable
[HTC One S] Circledog:
I'm stock and have connection issues all the time. At home I completely loose my cell signal and when I do connect its only a bar or two. At the office I get zero signal unless I am right by a window and it is only 2G. I came from the MT4GS and it had a great signal in both places. I love the phone but am not very happy with the signal drops right now.
[HTC One S] jacewt:
I have had that, in addition, some messages have shown up a day late. I was using handcent got rid of it just in case it was that.
[HTC One S] millowster07:
I had this issue too. I am on stock Tmo USA. It does it when I start using high data big websites stream data, etc.. it keeps 4g icon up and does not load or start data stream sorta hangs or partial loads... I see that the reception bars disappear and reappear. Soo I changed network from auto to just wcdma and it seems to work better.
[HTC One S] kraftey:
I've had the same issue for long time, starting with my galaxy s. I was hoping buying this phone would solve it but I guess It's just a t-mobile issue.
[HTC One S] millowster07:
Lol oh well 2g works flawless.. Still getting delays on 4g..
[HTC One S] jakmai:
I also have the issue, US One-S on EU rom, switches to 4G 3G and E! Speed is still great, but the switch is annoying. One time the modem just disappeared and showed up again 10 sec later. EU rom is 1.70 RUU.

Max down was 19mpbs and 2mpbs up, data speeds are not affected by the roms for me. Southern California.
[HTC One S] krazygreen:
This happened to me while I was trying to download game data within' the game, and it kept telling me that I wasn't connected to a network. Well I did a speed test that exact moment (a few), and was getting speeds of 17mb down 4mb up. But I guess the game was basing the network on....? I don't know, I was confused.

I'm also in So-Cal, Glendale to be exact.
[HTC One S] M9x3mos:
Maybe in your area I normally don't have a problem in this area.

I had the Amaze before this "One S" and didn't have the problem.

I see alot of problems with my drive to and from work and signal drop or just loss of data connection over all.
[HTC One S] strker45:
The bigger question here is whether this is simply a software issure or an actual hardware issue.... thats what i really want to know.
[HTC One S] Samugai:
I'm hoping it's a software issue because if it turns out to be a Vibrant #2 I'll be pissed..

Sent from the (problematic?) One S.
[HTC One S] M9x3mos:
Yeah.

I think that it is definitely software problem.

When I am in a good strong signal spot and not moving works fine.

HTC has usually made the best hardware of every phone I used.
[HTC One S] Samugai:
I'm confident that it's a software issue now because I swapped both mine and the woman's phone this afternoon and while the signal wasn't as bad as our first it was kind of there still.

Also I swapped SIM card yesterday and that didn't resolve the signal issue so that's also proof that it might be software related. Some of the TMobile employee's One S also had the same issue.

current condition: 2.3.4 stock/unlocked

I'm trying to relock my photon, I tried the quick method by factory reset then flashing back stock recovery, then rsd the nopuddingforyou.sbf file. End result is *failed to boot 1* error.

And I can't pull up recovery via pwr+dwn...screen goes blank with that.

The only way back to booting up android is flashing *derpunLock.sbf* and it still saying unlock at top of screen.

I tried rsd'ing the full 198-7.sbf file.

It completes, reboots phone and same error *failed to boot 1*

Again, only way back to booting android is..

Flash with rsd, the derpunlock.sbf file

Which leaves me with a fresh install and an unlock bootloader.

I was using the root-unlock-relock "kit" lokifish has on his martian imporrium site (sorry if I missed spelled it.

Any suggestions, thanks id appreciated
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Can you get fastboot running to reflash CWM recovery? If so, do it, then wipe data/factory reset in CWM, reboot into RSD mode, then flash 198_6 sbf? Try it! Be sure to charge the phone all the way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] valentinoh:
yeah, I can get myself back up and running but unlocked...i wanna be locked.

Ill try it. I havent wiped thru cwm...i just did it thru the os (do you think they don't work the same?)

Or do you,mean,flash cwm when im stuck at "failed to boot 1"? ? Cause when I'm at that point pwr+vol down is not an option.(phone boots flashes something real quick and goes blank)
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You will relock once you wipe and then SBF...but you need to get into fastboot first...so turn off the phone, and then press pwr+vol down...it should say Unlocked fastboot..then hook it up to the computer...reflash CWM if you can..

flash the CWM recovery.img like before and then cmd: fastboot reboot

Reboot the phone into RSD mode..and flash the SBF...
[Motorola Photon 4G] valentinoh:
Didn't work...

Same results "failed to boot 1" so I flash derpunlock.sbf then it boots.

Now I'm on stock build 198-6 unlocked.

I don't know why it won't except "nopudding4u.sbf"

154.sbf didn't work either.

"failed to boot 1" got back up flashing derpunlock.sbf.

I'm 2.3.4 build 154.5 unlocked.

On rsd Lite it it always fails to switch to bp pass through.

im using ver. 5.6 is there a better version to work with for photon or is that it.?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Looks like you're stuck unlocked, like I am. I am, because of flashing new radio.
[Motorola Photon 4G] valentinoh:
Seems like it but I never flashed a radio...unless it was in the 2.3.5.zip paco released?

But you can move freely to whatever build you want?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
No, I cannot flash full sbf normally, I must hack it, after rsd creating image, right before flashing (when the phone reboots), with cg3 and cg42 from derpunlock.sbf, if I remember it right. . :-)

Rsd temp dir is somewhere in user\appdata folder.
[Motorola Photon 4G] valentinoh:
That's crazy lol you got links or a workaround tutorial written up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Not yet, but I could write something tomorrow. :-)

But this won't help you much, you will be still unlocked.

I had this problem too. Had to flash in RSD 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf from the martian imperium site. Worked fine for me. Could not get any others to work except this one. Then updated via OTA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] valentinoh:
Did you ever flash the 2.3.5 motorola soak test w/out bootloader? Released by paco_1?

I flashed the 154.5.sbf from martian site didn't work out as I hoped.
