[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
While testing out some lighting I handed the phone to a friend to see how well the camera handles different types of lighting. Needless to say it slipped out of his hands when he jumped from a wasp frightening him. Drop from a little higher than waist high, but it did slide a little. Touch screen still works, but some pieces of glass did fall off (it chipped in layers- there's still glass just seems to be missing the top layer on some parts of the crack.

Photos to be up soon just got my replacement from asurion in ~3 days (was quoted 10-14). It's also new not a refurb :). Otterbox on its way also.

Most surprising part was how badly the edge got muffed up was expecting the metal (aluminum?) piece to be a little harder and not this soft.

Focus goes really bad here sorry. The next one shows the crack went all the across the screen I think it spread after a day.

This one shows how badly the bezel got scratched up.

And the phone barely fits in the asurion envelope :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
All these drop reports which I blame the smooth metal makes me feel good I bought a case day of purchase
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
It was my fault for handing the phone to a friend without any protection on it :o. Although the back is pretty smooth I like to blame the thinness of the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Lol maybe also ur pics are small and highly pixelated

Edit well in the xda app anyways....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
Didn't have my dslr handy and couldn't get my new El Tevo to focus for its life...

They shouldn't be too small try clicking on them they're thumbnails.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raiderep:
Thanks for sharing and I'm happy to hear the insurance handled your claim so quickly. I am also thankful for these pictures as they made me extra assured that having a case and screen protector on is a good choice for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
Oh and for those wondering it was a garage floor- smooth concrete no epoxy on it or anything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yeah its just the xda app n even clicking on them they are the smw in browser they just open up n pics look fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alfamega190:
How much was the deductible? 100 or 150? Cuz I heard it was suppose to raise due to the LTE being new
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
$100.

I called sprint before setting up the claim on phoneclaim to make sure because I too thought it was $150. Didn't want to muck anything up by asking about the $150. But still it's amazing how the asurion guy quoted sprint (who then told me) I'd get it within 10-14 days because they had no stock but instead got it in 3.

EDIT:

Just said bye to the old El Tevo it went out to the mail today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pharaoh0:
Prices go up 6/17.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Those are unbelievable prices. I guess Sprint is tired of getting ripped off by people lieing and saying there phone got stolen/lost and selling them on eBay. Oh well screw TEP and now I'm rockin Gocare.com.

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pharaoh0:
I wish Sprint and Asurion would change the pricing based on past usage of the program. If you haven't replaced a phone in X months/years, then you should get Y% off of your premium/deductible. I am debating another option because $11/mth is just ridiculous.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I'm not sure that was the case. The esn certainly would be flagged and if it was an issue, the person selling it could easily be traced, insurance fraud style.

I agree tho, the prices are silly. I'll likely be dropping TEP as well
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
If not insurance fraud if the phone was stolen can't it be tracked and someone arrested? There are EVO LTEs on eBay already with Bad ESNs.

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alfamega190:
Lol, ok that is good. Well I'm a lot happier now to see that the price is still 100.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chococrazy:
Even with a bad ESN the phone is worth something. Plus from what I've read a lot of people claim the phone as lost or stolen in the insurance claim for things like cracked screens wait ~30 days then post it up for sale or call and claim they found it and try to get it taken of the esn blacklist... Also suprsingly the asurion envelopes don't have tracking #s...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
I think another good option would be a discount for users who buy tough cases like an otterbox
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RedWingsFan:
What other options do we have for insurance? I'd like to look at other options because I'm sick of sending Sprint more and more money for them to take perks away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Best Buy has their own. SquareTrade. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Gocare.com. $97 for 2 years and $50 deduct. Best price I've found.

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
That's not bad. I wish I had courage to drop my TEP and go with something else. I just worry because every time I've had a problem, Sprint's fixed it... FAST!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I have prolly paid 400ish dollars on TEP through the years and just recently used it. That with the 100$ deductible means I basically paid full price for a likely refurbished phone.. That wasn't even the phone I wanted. There are more people that have TEP and rarely, if ever, use it than there are people that abuse it.

Jacking the price and deductible up is just wrong. I'm gonna have to look elsewhere.

I do agree with sprint being fast about it tho
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
That's the biggest point about it for me. I keep paying, and keep the service only because I know it stays reliable. If I need a replacement, I usually have it next day (until the shortage of EVO 3Ds, but I'm sure it was because they wanted to phase it out quickly).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Doomstang:
Always use protection, even if it's with a friend cuz you just never know! :p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I had sprint for about 6 years and never used the TEP until April of this year when I dropped my OG EVO. I asked and they sent me a EVO 3D instead. I was happy thru and thru with them but money decides all. I can't sit still while I know I'm getting raped by Sprint. On to the next one...

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
Not to bash GoCare but I wonder how reputable they are.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] weidnerj:
Assurance have them in stock. Getting a new one tomorrow. Ended up dropping my HTC EVO LTE phone in the toilet yesterday, and $100 deductible. Moved by service to my old EVO 3D for now until I get my new phone.

But was thinking that I did end up paying for the phone $8 a month for the last 10 years. Because I was honest and said that it was water damage and not stolen or lost, have to ship the old phone back. Feel sorry for the next owner of the phone since it was in the toilet...

Plus another issue is that since the battery isn't user replaceable, impossible to remove the battery to let the phone dry out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Battery can be removed with torx screwdrivers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiKpHr8RLBs&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Well hopefully I won't have to find out. I'd still rather pay $97 up front for 2 years of coverage and $50 incase something happens then be guaranteed to be screwed out of $11/month and $150 deduct. They have plenty of positive reviews and whatnot you just need to look a little harder next time ;)

Asurion canceled my claim

Asurion canceled my claim that I placed on the 25th of May yesterday. I found out today it was because they claimed that they aren't going to cover the 4g LTE. I called Sprint and they said that isn't true.

What should I do? I already have left a message to the highest level I could reach. But the lady I was working with said they don't have enough stock so they aren't covered.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] weidnerj:
That is so strange, because earlier this week I got a replacement EVO LTE from them...

Did you call them or go through the web based form? I used the web base form and didn't talk to a CSR.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sthomas40:
I called them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BamAlmighty:
They are probably waiting until your next billing cycle when the higher TEP fee and $200 deductible kicks on.

As crappy as the new fees are I can see why they did it considering how many claims they already have and the phone hasn't even been out a full month.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DarkManX4lf:
I think the LTE should be $150 with the new tep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sthomas40:
Still though I think this entire situation is BS. I think that I was just talking to someone who was misinformed (I hope, I am waiting for a callback). On 6/7 I received the following in an email from Asurion:

Dear Valued Customer:

We understand how important your wireless device is to you and our goal is to get you reconnected as soon as possible. However, due to supply constraints, the shipment of your replacement HTC EVO 4G LTE may be delayed an additional 10 - 14 days. We sincerely apologize for this delay and will continue to work diligently to resolve this matter - no further action is required from you.

Once again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you may be experiencing. Thank you.

So with that said I don't know why my claim was canceled.

Hi everyone i have been using wifi 5.0 about 3 months now it satisfied me enough and i am sure will continue. But the only issue which makes me unhappy is when i am gaming or using gps battery finishes rapidly. I would like to learn when to charge the device is 25% ok and when i am using it on charge even when its full is it bad for the battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Yes you should unplug it when it gets full.

Sent from my YP-G70
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
don't leave it on the charger longer then 20-30 minutes after it reaches 100%, any longer can be damaging to the battery if done repeatedly.

Wish these chargers were more like the motorola ecomoto chargers that cut off charging automaticaly once the battery hits capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] durukankurum:
Thank you for your answer but every time i am charging it over nights i am always turning it off and go to sleep what i want to say i cant wait to be 100% then sleep :) is there any app to stop charging when its fully done. And isnt it ok while gaming o keep the charger cuz u know after playing 1 hour of fifa12 battery nearly going dead? thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] durukankurum:
So you mean this devices are not made for using on charge like laptops?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
stopping charging has to be done within the charger itself, so no there is no app that can stop it, plus apps couldn't do anything when the device is powered down anyway.

An hour of a game kills your battery? I can play atleast an hour probably closer to 2 of angry birds and thats from less then 30% and i'm on the 4.0 player which has a much smaller battery, sounds like you've got some battery drain issues to work thru.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] durukankurum:
yeah u are right about apps no way any app to work when the device off.

I mean maybe 1h and 20 min. with 50% brightness on and i guess fifa use more data than angry birds when ur playing.

anyway its important to know that i shouldn't keep charger on when its 100% because usually when i am home i was using it like that thanks again.

do u think the app called 'sense analog' may make the battery life shorter.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] hanthesolo:
Something is definately wrong, because I can play MC3, which is even more intensive the FIFA on my Gplayer 4.0 for more than 1.5 hours and still have some life left, and the Gplayer 4.0 is only rated for 4/5 hrs and yours is rated for over eight!

After a full recharge, while still plugged in download battery calibration from the market, and follow it's instructions, after you do, while STILL plugged in, reboot. After a full reboot, unplug it, and DO NOT REBOOT until your gplayer completely dies (forces shutdown). Once that occurs, plug it in, let it charge to 100% (while on), leave at 100% for about 15 minutes, unplug, and use as normal. That should fix your issue, unless your battery is dying, which should not occur, even if you are abusing it badly, for awhile longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
haven't seen the 5.0 screen in person but if the brightness levels are anything like the 4.0 why do you have it so high? My brightness is at like 15-20% with autobrightness OFF.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] trainman261:
First, like many others already said, it sounds like something is wrong with your battery. I'm on a 4.0 and playing two hours of a really intense 3D game with auto-brightness indoors will bring the battery from 100% to 50% (maybe it even uses less battery).

Second, as to how to conserve battery life, Rule #1 (as others have said): definetely do not keep it plugged it at 100% for too long. Then, something I tried on my iPod and have been using ever since: keep the battery between 50% and 100%, and once a month, completely empty the battery (until it shuts down) and after that charge it to 100% (this is called a charge cycle). As to my iPod's battery, before I was using this, the battery life got shorter and shorter, but after, it didn't shorten noticeably anymore. On the computer I'm writing this on, for a couple of months, I barely followed this plan, and I lost about 5% of my battery capacity (I have a battery widget that tells me what the total capacity is) within one or two months, but then I started following it a little more closely, and actually got some of it back. Over six months later now, I have lost about 10% of my battery capacity (from the original capacity), except that I should do a charge cycle in the next couple of days, and the last time I did a charge cycle, I got about 5% of the original capacity back, not to mention I have broken rule #1 probably too often and for way too long, often for several hours :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
My 5.0 can play games for hours before it dies but it has strange batery levels..From 100% to 75% it goes very fast.around 40 minutes when you play game..and then on 75% it stays there for 2hours when you play game and with regular use it can stay all day on 75-70% ..after that it fastly drops to 25% and just when you thing you need to recharge it can stay on 25% forever..you can play 2 more hours of game on 25% or with lighy use it will stay all day on 25%.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
This is not correct. NO modern device has ANY smarts in the external charger - nearly all current phones (and every smartphone on the market for the past 3-4 years) has a constant voltage 5.0 volt USB input. Modern "chargers" are not chargers at all - they are dumb 5 volt power supplies, nothing more.

Charging "smarts" are handled by electronics in the device itself and have been for ages. (For all practical purposes, the Player 5.0 is a Galaxy S smartphone minus the cell radio...)

The kernel and charger hardware automatically handle charge termination and restart themselves. This is, for example, why Daily Driver can charge at higher current levels than stock at low battery (but drop the current as the battery reaches nearly full in order to stress the battery less).

Oh, as far as battery percentage display - the method used for estimating state of charge on the Players is abysmally primitive and highly inaccurate.

Battery Charging YP-G70

I always charge my completely standard YP-G70 overnight. As I understand it, the charger only provides voltage and in this case it's 5vdc. The device's battery management software draws the required current to charge the battery. If you install 3c's "Battery Monitor Widget Pro" you can see a charging graph showing the current levels drawn over the full period of charging. The charging current is stepped to control battery temperature and is reduced as the battery approaches full charge. By the time the battery reaches full charge the current draw is down to a trickle charge and will not overcook the battery. I usually leave the device switched on, which further protects it by maintaining a small load. One of the problems I have found with this device is that this charging regime, along with the fairly large capacity of the battery, mean that the battery can take up to six hours to fully charge, which confirms, in my view, that overnight charging is OK.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] durukankurum:
I downloaded the app but its not working :( i am going to charge my device like the way u said, thank u for ur advises :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] durukankurum:
First of all thank you for this valuable information, thus I can keep my device on plug while i am driving and using gps otherwise on long distance its annoying to keep checking the battery while driving with gps app on.

Other think is i guess its normal but just to ask, The device becomes really hot on charging while i am gaming. What do u think?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] j21098:
Is there an app that takes time of your battery like today I turned on at lets say 7:00am and the battery dies at 9:00 and you forget the times but the app says how long it lasted. Is there some app like that?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] AndyM10:
3c's "Battery Monitor Widget Pro" gives all the battery information you could ever need. A data log and graphs allow performance to be analysed over any period of time. You can set markers to indicate charger plugging and unplugging times. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Off course it will be hot..you play game which hots cpy and gpy and at same time you recharge batery which hots battery..but if battery reach 50 degrese celsius player automaticly stop recharging no matter whow much battery is full.

[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
Sorry wrong paste..lol ..here is right info...

Check Device Manager for the current active "COM Ports"

Boot into DOWNLOAD MODE Plug the phone into the computer without the battery inserted Hold [VOL UP + POWER] Put the battery in and wait until it vibrates or for 3 seconds Check Device Manager for a NEW "COM Port...from dark lestat post in development... make sure to thank him :D

Then you should be able to re LG flash

[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
Hopefully the battery will help...good news is if you can connect and start the flash each time it is not bricked...i have not seen this problem posted before so doubt it is hardware...does adb see it...if so i would try to wipe system and data and reflash...i would also pull sim and sd card before flash to see if that helps ?

Replace the battery with new and same problem, my phone doesn't even read my AT&T sim card. :(

Any button that I can do hard reset?
[LG Thrill 4G] PROlific666:
I had this same problem is your phone not turning on or just not downloading the update? I bricked my phone installing the update and it can be fixed but if you having problems with the connection during update you gotta keep trying it will go through. If it wont turn on at all there is a fix.
[LG Thrill 4G] randy_c:
This is the problem:

1. I bought new phone on Craigslist running 2.2 and everything working.

2. Connect to PC and set up driver, software etc.. there is an update so I did.

3. Got stuck about 17-20% and message disconnect and re-reconnect etc.. and I did.

4. Ever since I can't t urn it on unless connect to a charger.

5. I will not read SIM card and kept saying reorganized when check on setting and mobile network.

I am stuck here cause tried so many time. Also, phone turn off with full battery charge but next morning when I turn on completely drained. I think software screw up some how during the initial upgrade. Just don't know how to fix it
[LG Thrill 4G] PROlific666:
OK try this take your battery out and plug it into your computer and hold the volume down key until you hear or see your computer recognize it. It should beep a couple times. Be sure to leave your phone off this whole time. Open up your LG support tool. Once it says your connected open the customer support tab. Click on "Recovery Phone." Enter your phones info and click the check button. It should take you through the steps from there. I had the same problem and had also bought it from craigslist. The good news is even if this doesn't fix it, your phone is less than a year old and can be sent to LG for a fix or they'll send you a refurbished phone. They will want a reciept but if you don't have it just tell them you tossed it. Same for the box if you don't have that. They will do it just start getting angry if they give you the run around. I was freaking out just like you LOL. I couldn't find anything on the web and the LG lady was just as stumped as me... I just happened to try this before I sent it in and it worked. Let me know if you have any luck.
[LG Thrill 4G] PROlific666:
As far as the update goes I eventually did get it to work. Just keep trying. I plugged it in to try again one time and it said my phone was already updated. I went and checked and sure enough it was. The visual change isn't dramatic your signal bars turn green and you get some more bloatware like a 3d game converter. The reason for this is the phone has a custom LG UI and will not adopt the gingerbread UI. Don't freak a lot of people insist its not GB but it is. There is a lot more to a OS than the user interface.
[LG Thrill 4G] randy_c:
Warranty thru LG or at&t? You mind give a little more. I didn't even know LG has a warranty in US?
