[T-Mobile LG G2x] twism50:
I had to pay too, said the phone was acting up, battery dropping quickly, had to pull battery constantly. I also told them that I stooped at my TMobile store and they suggested I call them.

I've had to pay in the past too, fire a charging port issue. I believe you always have to pay, no matter what happened. I received a refurbished phone, perfect condition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twism50:
It was $130, and worth it. Stable Ics ROM, larger screen which is beautiful and works great outdoors.

Called T-Mobile and Asurion "the people that handle T-Mobile insurance".

You do need the protection plan "insurance".

This is the info I got. Phone must be lost, stolen or broken, by way of user mishap ex. jumped in to the pool with you, lost, stolen, dropped, and broken by the user basically anything that is covered buy the protection plan, not the warranty. If it's a factory or faulty hardware issue that's the warranty, then they will just send you a replacement G2x. Most likely a refurbished one, I've had my g2x replaced for over heating while charging and they just sent me a refurbished g2x, at least it was free.

You will have to pay the deductible which is $130 USD depending on your protection plan.

Now this is the important part, depending on what the insurance company has in stock, you may end up getting a phone you really don't want. Sensation and Galaxy S II may not always be an option. They said they will do there best to keep you with something with the same specs hence Sensation and GS II. I tried asking for a list of phones that they consider comparable to G2x, but they would not give me that information, because of how many phones are shipped out they could not guaranty the lists accuracy. I think my rep was lazy and just didn't want to look it up. If any one is willing to call the insurance company and see if they can get some kind of list of phones. I would really appreciate it. I dropped my phone and a little crack appeared that is bothering me to no end, so I want it replaced but only if I'm going to get better phone. I'm not paying 130 for a phone I don't want. I tried asking if they would give me the option to switch phones models even if they had the G2x in stock, and they didn't give me a straight answer. So if someone can get a clear answer that would be great.

Oh, one last bit of information, if you still have the current phone you want replaced you will have to send it in to the insurance company once the replacement phone gets to you. You have 14 days to do this. If not they will charge you and additional fee that they didn't want to tell me. I don't understand this I paid for the phone, I pay $5 dollars a month for the Insurance plan, I'm going to pay a $130 deductible, it still works just a crack I feel I should be able to keep it.

Number to insurance company and website.

All this info is public so I don't think it will be a problem if I post the number and web site.

Okay let's just say my phone has a charging issue and it starts heating up. Could I claim warranty even though I have water damage now?

Sent From My Handheld Portal Device
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
You have 50/50 chance, I've known people in real life that have had water damage to the phone, litmus paper was pink, and got away with claiming warranty issue, and never got charged, but on the flip side I've know people also in real life that have tried and got caught because the litmus paper on the inside had turned pink due to water damage. They were notified and charged full price for the replacement phone, with a stern warning that if this happened again they would press charges for fraud, also one of them told me, when try tried to claim warranty issues with the replacement phone, they had a hard time because they had a notice on the account for them trying to get away with a free replacement. So it's really up to you if you want to try it.

If you tell them off the bat that you have water damage they will 99% of the time tell you your problem is because you got it wet, and that you have to pay for a replacement. I have a T-Mobile call center where I live so I know a few guys that work there, they are where I get my info from most of the time just in case anyone is wondering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I feel like I should call and say I lost my phone just so I could get the Galaxy S2...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
I want to, just because of the Nvidia and ICS stuff that is stunting the potential of the phone, but like I said in an earlier post, I'm fearful of not having that option and getting some other phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] juny51:
Just try it if they give you options you don't like just tell them forget it you rather use some old beat up phone you have. And continue to use your g2x

Insurance is a scam anyway

So, how much have you paid over the years for that insurance? Add that to the $130 and you have a pretty expensive last-generation phone.

Far better to self-insure--i.e., don't insure at all--and pick up a new or VG phone on eBay or Craigslist, for around $200. or less. Or upgrade to a Galaxy Nexus for $349. from Goggle Market.

Take the monthly insurance bill and put it towards your next phone. . . .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I've read that if you haven't used your insurance you can get that money back or something similar to that before. Can't remember where I heard it but it seems kinda plausible, any one have info on the matter?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
The only thing that would really stop me from doing this is that I don't want to be without a phone for an extended period of time. The only spare phone I have is a Virgin Mobile phone (Optimus V). I suppose I could always buy minutes for that one...

Considering that I've only been on T-Mobile for about a year, that means I only paid about $60 for insurance. After two years and after contract, I'm only paying a total of $120. Paying $130 for a replacement that's the Galaxy S2 sounds like a good deal to me. That's the phone I wish I would have gotten, but it was released a couple weeks after I got a free G2x from T-Mobile and I figured I was better off with a free phone than paying $200+ at the time. Clearly that was a big mistake.

I doubt that's true. It's like car insurance. You pay monthly, but more than likely, if you're lucky, you'll never need it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jreeve0805:
self insured!

I agree start a savings account with all the things you are insuring and use that money to pay for broken items.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monomojao:
I usually just say my phone was stolen. They don't ask questions, all they require is a police report that you can get over the phone. Its easy. This way you can keep your old phone. It works every time. Be careful though, you can only claim a certain amount of replacements a year. Trust me I learned the hard way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
Couldn't you just also say the phone was lost so that you wouldn't require a police report?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monomojao:
Well they would still required a police report in case it is found again. The police report doesn't trwllu do anything you basicly get badge number an officer and police station code. That's it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
The problem with reporting your phone lost or stolen, is if you still use it on the same account, and they decide investigate the phone. I know for a fact they can cancel your account and press charges for fraud, this is done by the insurance company not T-Mobile. Your IMEI is broadcasted through the network whenever it makes a connection to the mobile network. I've heard from a friend that works at a T-Mobile Call Center not a T-Mobile store those guys don't know much of anything, that it happens more than you'd think, but I've never heard of it happening to anyone I know personally.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Ya that and you guys doing fraud like this is only jacking cell phone prices up and plans and insurance for those that need it most. Stop trying to scam them for a 200 dollar phone and just deal with what you have or go spend the money properly. What're you gonna do next, go to a local store spill something then spill liquid trip on purpose, and sue them?? I understand being tempted, cause this phone is such a pain for some, but that doesn't give people the right to commit fraud and possibly screw it for the rest of us.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
I'm not condoning fraud, but if you have a cracked screen or something why not get a better phone out of it. It's not a scam, they are sending you something of equal value and you are sending your phone back to be refurbished by LG, if anyone is going to lose any money, and I doubt it's a significant amount it's going to be LG. Now that being said, are you telling me I should feel bad for a company that sells me a $600 dollar phone, full of problems and bugs that if it manages to not crash or reboot in 24 hours I'm surprised? This phone should have been recalled. I've actually managed to talk to an LG rep on the phone, and you know what they said about the screen bleeding, "they are working on a software patch with no date as of yet to be released". They are obviously just trying to get you off the phone. Screen bleeding cannot be fixed by way of software. They have discontinued this module of phone for good reason, they made there money and now refuse to fix the problems. Other than bugs as far as I've seen and read all development has stopped. You shouldn't feel bad for the company feel bad for the consumer.

Sorry to go on small rant, but I will never buy LG or nvidia again, they have lost a long time customer in me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I agree in everything you said there, except the fact that we as consumer, should have been more cautious and looked into who was partaking into the phone. LG/Nvidia, if I would have known there past I never would have opted to purchase this phone. LG has a very poor rate of upgrading their line of phones and Nvidia is well known for not being public with their work, I just knew they had awesome processors... Either way, I just don't like fraud I guess, dishonesty will come back to you... Screen crack or not, your phone operates like it should or how it has since you purchased the phone and within your return days... deal with it, lol... I have dings and things in my phone but I'm not going to be telling them that my phone is stolen or lost, to get a completely new phone, as much as I want to, I'll just use an upgrade and get the phone I want properly... To each their own though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
Lets agree to disagree on this part, because it is not ok for LG to take all these people hard earned money and give them a faulty product just because, "they do it all the time". That I feel is backwards thinking. They should improve or at the very least be forced to give the money back. If no one does anything about it they will never change. That's like saying if the new kid walks passed a school yard bully and catches a beating it's his own fault for walking past the bully, and not asking around if it's ok to pass that guy. LG knows 80% of people don't research what they are buying. If they are going to make a junk phone sell it at a junk price. I have no real problem with nvidia not making drivers open source, I don't like it but it's there product, I'm not even saying they should have to update to a newer version of android, but I am saying they should take responsibility for a defective product, and fix the current problems. But we've been discussing this like mature people with a difference of opinion and I'd like to thank you for that. Oh, and just so you know cracked screens are covered by the insurance, no fraud taking place there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monomojao:
Is it really fraud when your paying $100+ a month for cellphone service? Or that the phone isnt as reliable as it should be? So your telling me that if my phone is somewhat damaged but still usable and i report it stolen so i CAN PAY for a replacement phone and keep my old one that is FRAUD? Are you kidding me? The only lie here is so we can keep the phone that we have paid off already. The only fraud here is you believing its OK not too.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

LIke i said in my previous post, the only reason to do this is if you want to keep your old phone that you already paid for. I don't see harm in that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
Get off your high horse. If anybody scammed anybody, it's T-Mobile for selling us this ****ty phone and giving us a thousand and one excuses about the phone every time we call in about a problem with the phone. And it's not "trying to scam them for a $200 phone." If it was a $200 phone, I'd go a buy a new phone so I stop using the G2x already, but they're $500+ phones until my contract is up in 1+ year. At that point, I'd have to sign a new contract wtih the same company that knowingly sold me a faulty phone just so I'd be able to get a phone for $200. If it wasn't for rooting and running custom ROMs, this phone would barely be usable/tolerable for most of us. My previous two LG Android phones (the Optimus M and the Optimus V) work better than the G2x with absolutely NO issues if you can look past them being lower end phones. It was because of those two phones that I decided to stick with LG for a third. Clearly that was a mistake. The one thing I learned since coming to T-Mobile and owning the G2x is that I no longer want service from T-Mobile and I never again want to purchase another LG product.

So if "guys like us" wanted to run a "scam" to get a "$200 phone," then the companies brought it on themselves and I feel no sympathy for them. They're the ones with millions of dollars. We're the ones with a **** phone that only receives support from the community.

And maybe if a decent phone didn't cost upwards to $600, nobody would ever be "tempted" to participate in fraud. The price of phones are ridiculous. How's that $200 Nexus 7 compare to any smartphone? It's essentially a phone minus the ability to make phone calls for less than half the price of any new phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Phones are artificially overpriced in order to bind anyone who gets a subsidized phone to a contract or else they pay an exhorbitant price for the phone which compensates the cell phone service provider/carrier for the lack of a multi-year plan. If the latest smart phones cost only $2-$300 then people would buy them outright, not commit to multi-year contracts, and constantly change carriers (churn).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
And then carriers would work ahrder to keep customers and then everyone would benefit... as it is now, we sign a contract so we can afford a phone and then we're just stuck with these carriers and they know that so they don't rightfully care.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
High horse or not, I know its wrong if you guys choose to do different that'll be on you... you bought the phone and should have done more reading about it and once you had problems should've taken it back plain and simple.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
To a certain extent, you're correct but the updating problem is not something that early purchasers of the phone would have known especially since the phone was marketed as upgradeable in the phone's promotional information.

As for myself, within the first 14 days of registering for a new WIND account I had 4 replacements. I had never had a smart phone before so I was bedazzled by it. I kept with it because the only other choice was a Nexus which didn't have as nice a screen and other features. I tried to give back the phone the last time, on the 14th day which the clerk in the WIND store wanted to do anyway instead of replacing it but, when they checked on the computer, it told them I was 1 day past the last day for returning the phone for a refund. If I had been able to, I would have a different or no smart phone.

In spite of all the problems, I do like the phone and am grateful for all of the independent development for it which, alas, is diminishing in favour of other, newer, phones. Although I am very p'd off with NVIDIA, LG and WIND, I am hoping that LG will eventually update this phone to ICS but, because I am a realist, I don't expect it. At this point, the phone does what I need it for and does it as well or better than most other smart phones so I won't dump it yet. If Android OS fragmentation continues as it has, my next phone will, horrors, be an iPhone which gets regular updates and keeps its value much better than Android OS phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noodlev1:
Consider yourself very lucky, the first G2x I had was pretty good, but soon started to give me problems and soon after crashes freezes and reboots. I stuck with it and waited for updates. After a while I've had enough of the problems, they sent me a refurbished device as a replacement. Now i wasn't happy with the first one, the second one is even worse, more crashes than ever. Even after the v21y update. So my advice if your device works, hang on to it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
So if you have insurance and file a claim you can get a better phone? This is my fifth g2x. Recently a t mo tech support told me he didn't feel comfortable exchanging it and the only way I would be able to get a fixed phone Is by doing an early upgrade. F*** t mobile. He even said "I get 5-10 calls a day about the g2x while I get one or two a week for the HTC one.

I'm really thinking about getting insurance and destroying this phone, especially at this point.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monomojao:
You only have a few days to get insurance on a phone after your purchase. Once that period expires you cant add insurance to your account. (at least for that phone)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
I finally got through to the loyalty department. They're offering to exchange it for one of three much lower quality phones or to exchange it for another G2X. You can get insurance on refurbished phones.. And that's what I was thinking about doing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joker550:
I have the full coverage insurance. So what did u tell them? How come u didnt get it replaced?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richie390:
What I know from experience is that if you call for a replacement 3 times in a month they will replace your phone with a one of a similar model or of your choosing. But I forgot if there was a charge on it or not. Did that with the HD2 and got Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
Also, if you complain enough to the tech support/customer service and tell them you wish to cancel your account (or just ask to speak to the loyalty department) they will transfer you to someone else that will be a little more willing to get you a phone that works. I had two options: exchange for a lower quality phone, and receive an "early upgrade" without extending my contract. It's not -that- great of deal though, $279 is how much the HTC One S was for me with that option =/.

Sorry to bring up a old thread but if anyone is wondering if you have insurance through asurion and your phone breaks and you are nice to the people they will give you a htc one s for replacement my phone fell in the pool and quit working called for replacement they told me that I was in luck g2x was in stock so I told them i was thinking about useing the insurance premium to to towards a new phone and they said that they understood and all they could offer me was the one s so i said ok thinking i would recive a refurb one s and to my amazement got a brand new in box phone yesterday could not be happier:D
