[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
and that is a matter of manager discretion....the policy doesn't really state that from what I recall. Like you said, not really a way to prove it didnt just fail let alone that it was rooted.

take it to a corporate repair store, if you don't have insurance call in and add it as this month is an open enrollment month....or pay the $50 for in store service so they can order you a replacememt.

Sprint referred me to Samsung, I called them and they issued me an RMA# (I'm shipping the phone to them today)

While I know Samsung has the right to deny warranty service for issues that arise from modifications to the device (which is completely understandable), I'll be very disappointed if they rely upon that as an excuse not to service my phone. The phone worked perfectly for months rooted w/stock ROM before it decided to no longer turn on.

It should arrive at their Plano, TX facility tomorrow and turnaround is supposed to be ~7 days. I'll update this thread with the outcome in case anyone else runs into this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hardrock121:
Wow, I had the same exact experience yesterday night .. with baout 15% battery left.. it just died.. nothing brought it up .. Finally pulled the battery and putting it back somehow brought it back to life.. wonder what was the issue.. :( I am really wary with these super expensive phones .. and rooting and modifying them with absolutely no support form the manufacturing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DisposableHero1985:
Its not the managers discrection it is the law. Check out the magnusun moss warranty act of 1975... car dealers have been fined millions for not honoring warranties because of aftermarket parts
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] spotopolis:
I had an issue kinda like this. I tried to install the aosp carbon 1.5 rom last night and once the screen timed out or I put the phone to sleep is wouldnt come back up. No lights or anything. I got lucky though. A battery pull fixed it but I noticed the phone was really hot. It probably just about fried the cpu. I rebooted and it seemed to work again untill i tried to put the phone to sleep. This time the screen didnt even shut off it just locked up. I pulled the battery again and then I was able to wipe and install a TW rom and havent had the issue since.

It got hot really quick on that aosp rom. Is it possible that you were OCed any and burnt it out?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] PoorHomey:
Definitely not OCed - device was basically stock w/root. I don't recall the device rarely ever getting "warm" really, and it definitely never got "hot".

Primary reason I needed root was for a modded app I use for day trading equities that I wanted to run it in multi-window mode alongside another app.

Only other thing worth mentioning is that it had been nagging me about the 4.1.2 OTA update (a lot), which i had been repeatedly ignoring. I know once or twice it tried to install and rebooted into TWRP, and each time I'd just hit reboot and the phone would come right back up. This may have been the first time I actually "powered down / turned off" the device since it had been giving me the update prompts. Not sure if that makes a difference?

Phone will arrive at Samsung tomorrow - should hear something later this week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dhearns:
I think you may have already shipped the phone so I'm probably too late anyway. Were you able to see the phone in adb from your pc? I've had issues similar to yours (no display) and doing an adb reboot recovery got me into recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DiGi760:
For future reference, TEP (Sprint's insurance) does not take effect until you make a call with the line that it was applied to. If your phone is broken, but can still make a call, you can add TEP. If your phone will not make a call, then it won't be enrolled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
lol...Sprint didn't manufacturer it. beyond the posted return policy they are under no obligation to handle Samsungs warranty claims

All that is needed to add TEP is a valid ESN. It's effective the date the rep selects...next billing cycle or same day.

anyway...not trying to argue...just curious why Sprint stores are turning away folks rather than charging the $50 and taking care of it. 3rd party maybe?

op....they typically have repaired then reflashed phones in the past at samsung with no questions asked....you will most likely be fine

UK repair center is not my friend

This is why I love my N4. No BS to get an unbloated phone and if something goes it's easily solved as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] PoorHomey:
Update:

I received my phone back from the Samsung repair facility.

They replaced the motherboard and didn't give me any hassles about the device being rooted/modified. Total turnaround time from the day I shipped it was 11 days.

When I received the device it kept failing to activate on Sprint's network. In About device the network was listed as "Samsung" and the serial# was listed as "00000000000". After doing a factory reset it worked and the serial# is no longer displayed in about phone.

Overall I'm grateful to Samsung for taking good care of me under warranty and I'm glad to say I'm as pleased with their service as I am with their products.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kanyewest:
im trying to get out of contract cause sprint service sucks at my new address and also when i need it the most, around town, i just do not get any data even with full bars (signal). So im roaming on verizon, using about 2gb a day.

My question is, how long after i get booted from sprint can i start a new contract? Im comtemplating coming back to sprint cause im might move in the near future.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:
Dude.

How do you force roam?

I've been trying to figure it out.

And they should have sent you a warning in the mail after about 500mb of roaming, hopefully they didn't find out the scheme lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Unknown Zone:
long timre ago before i went to boost I asked a agent if I left sprint when could I come back to get a deal like a new customer she said 6 month.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] patrao_n:
If they boot you for excessive roaming its a 50/50 shot whether you get out without an etf. Just man up and pay it and cut your losses. Btw if you burn them they might not be so tempted to bring you back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kanyewest:
U force roam by downloading the verizon prl to the root of ur internal memory, rename it to TEST.prl, the go to ur dialer and press ##3282# .. some menus come up... u click on prl write and then write prl.. phone reboots and ur done.. check ur prl number in about phone and check to see if its anything other than 5502 or what ever the new sprint prl is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kanyewest:
The whole reason for force roaming is not wanting to pay the etf. Its not fair to have to pay alot of money for a service ur not getting.. and I live in a city that has been one of the "test" cities for both wimax and LTE. So we got it first. But doesnt seem to do us any good if they say the antennas have been upgraded but the speeds do not reflect it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It's not fair people like you are too cheap to honor your contract either. It's people who do sh!t like this thay cause prices for the rest of us to increase and perks to be taken away. Sprint has to make money or they can't stay in business. You signed the contract be an adult and honor it. Pay the ETF if you want out instead of finding a loophole to fraudulently break it. Hopefully sprint catches on to this soon and instead of dropping people etf free slap em with a collections debt after cutting em off and make em pay the etf AND roaming charges they racked up trying to get out.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] budde2:
I agree it is un fair to not pay the ETF. If you singed a contract you have to honor it. Sprint has always been fair to me when I was having problems before they updated to LTE and while they were updating they offered me to get out my contact free because they could see I was having real bad voice and everything. I told them nope ill deal with it so they gave me a 275$ credit my bill was 75 for 3 lines for 4 months and now I get 15+ download all day anf 1-5 up it great and im glad I waited out
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DisposableHero1985:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
There is no point in being booted on purpose to just come back later. If that's the case then just wait it out. If you really want to get it I would call them and tell them service really sucks and if they can compensate you. I waited out and now little by little Sprint is getting better and better. I just hit lte in my town and hopefully it will be announced officially.

I agree with the above.

Actually, it's what the OP purposes that has made it illegal to jailbreak/root phones, again, and try to bring them to another carrier. The carriers complained the government about how much money they loose because of it.

As for the OP issue, check your contract, but you might have some unlimited roaming; I forget if it's data or voice. On the same note, the bars you see, usually have little do with data; that's for voice. Thus, you go by the data connection icons--3g, 4g, etc. With that said, if it's really you may want to check out the Sprint coverage map. There is also another map that shows worked done and scheduled to done. I know for me, I get 3G and 4G around where I live. It's not everywhere. 4G speeds are no where near what I see other posts; I get in the 5 to 7mpbs down, and about 1mbps up on 4G, and around 1.5mpbs down, and .75mpbs up on 3g.

I would call Sprint and let them know your issue. It's possible they'll give you one of those 4G adapters that you can use at home with your internet. I'm not sure it's just for voice, or does data as well. I realize this may work because of lack of home internet.

Lastly, do you have the same issue inside buildings versus outside. If inside, it's possible that radio signal just can't penetrate the walls. Concrete is a notorious for this on the radio frequency that Sprint uses.

only in america do we get phones for 199.00 and under....and it is ETF's and contract fees that make up the lost dollars..Note 2 in Japan...yeah $800 american dollars..no discounts..upgrades none of that..you want it...you buy it..

so quit your crying and put your big boy pants on.

I've been on Verizon PRL for over 2gb and they haven't even told me anything lol...

Trying to get out of this and get at&t

Freaking 55mb down speed in my town with at&t
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It takes several months and lately they haven't been letting people out ETF free. They usually send a warning letter then if you don't stop they charge you for the roaming per mb or they drop you and charge you a non prorated ETF so you pay the full ETF. Occasionally if there's upgrades in your area they let you out free or they just let the roaming slide and do nothing at all. Its a 50/50 shot either you're out free or still on contract or you're out with a nice bill and a hit on your credit report when you don't pay it. The majority of posts I've seen lately are you get hit with a bill. Probably due to the Softbank merger and the money they are pouring into the network, they have to recoup their losses or they won't stay in business. Not to mention you signed a contract agreeing to pay your bill or ETF and it states right in the contract roaming data is capped at 300mb a month or the majority of data used, voice is 800min or majority of minutes used.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
Where in the world are people getting the idea that you get out ETF free?

Not ONLY will they put a collections record against you if you don't pay the ETF (and they will charge you), they can per the contract charge you for the roaming.

I've been dealing with slow data speeds in my market for almost 3 years now. I'm talking 300kbps 3G if I'm LUCKY! MAX I've seen is 700 and that's at 4AM on a Tuesday.

It's STILL the best deal in town for a truly unlimited plan. Verizon, ATT blow donkey balls with the ****ty 5GB cap or whatever it is. Then you've got T-Mobile trying to pass off HSPA+ as 4G...

I'm sorry, I use more data than that. Not all the time, and not alot more, but I average 5-8 a month... No tethering as my Note2 is my computer now. I'm on wifi ALOT, but still enjoy mobile streaming, and that just eats up bandwidth.

Either deal with it, or sell your phone and use the profit to pay the ETF like a grown up. Burning up Verizon's bandwidth is going to do nothing but add to a statistic for reasons why carriers either A) won't allow roaming or B) be the cause for some BS legislation making rooting a freaking criminal offense.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Because for the last few years instead of dealing with the whiny people who want to roam their way out of the contract sprint just terminated them with no penalties. Now however sprint's balls are finally starting to drop and they ARE charging at least the ETF and sometimes the ETF and roaming charges. Other times they just slap a charge on your bill for all the roaming and leave you contract bound. The roaming loophole has gotten a few out and then they post about it so every cheapskate that doesn't want to pay or wait but wants out has done it. Sprint's finally getting sick of it but they still aren't consistent enough to nail everyone. I think they should put the persons ssn# in a database and bar them from any telecommunications contracts and stiff em with prepaid only. Or have some kind of special plans for people who show a flag for weaseling out of the contract and block them from ever roaming so they're stuck not being able to rack up a bunch of charges for the carrier cuz they don't wanna hold up their end of the agreement. In my line of work you pull **** like this and we charge you with felony fraud and put your ass in jail for doing shady **** to breach your contract.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:
Well the Sprint should upgrade because I don't even get a Sprint signal . In my own home, I have to be on a Verizon PRL to even text or make phone calls in my own house.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Maybe you should pay your etf and switch providers. You had 14days to cancel your contract free when you signed up that's more than enough time to figure out sprint doesn't work at your house. Or call and request an airrave.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
If your going to be coming back eventually anyway. Call and have your acct put on seasonal standby. Costs 8 $ a month but your acct will be in tact when ya come back. As for ETFs, good luck. The only exception to waiving it for now is. If your a Nextel user and they migrate you to cdma and you don't have any coverage. And by coverage I mean, no Sprint towers around. They use the coverage map to determine coverage not user experience. OR You recently moved to an area with no Sprint coverage, again no coverage per the coverage map.

The roaming situation does not work anymore due to contracts with other carriers for use of network. I can't tell you the last time I seen someone get booted due to roaming. Hell 90% of North Dakota is Off Network and we have several thousand subscribers up there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:
Well I moved 2 months after getting onto Sprint. I got a good signal at my previous home but don't get a single bar at my new home.

I'm damn sure not paying 400 dollars to get out of the contract when I could stay on Verizon's PRL and wait until 4g hits.

If it ever does.

At this rate we won't get it until next year.

$90 bucks a month for data that barely works.

$90 bucks a month on a plan I thought was gonna cost $70, because that's what I signed up for.

Frankly, Sprint sucks.

Simple as that.

Seriously Sprint needs to step up their game...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
So pay your ETF then. You signed the contract it's your responsibility to honor it. You decided to move where the signals bad, sprint didn't move so why should they lose money over your choice?

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Myst3ry:
Do you realize what you are saying right now?? Sprint is part of the 4 biggest "nation"wide cellphone providers. Moving to a new place or buying a new home should not depend or be swayed whether my cell phone will work there or not... thats ridiculous.

Im currently with Sprint, and my data speeds are HORRID and practically unusable, i feel bad, but because of work, i sometimes force roam in order to get important emails. If i get booted off, then great! but im not doing it on purpose, i need to receive certain information when out and about.

also, yes, i signed a contract, but they also gave me a contract promising "3G" speeds, honestly, in the same area, my gfs tmobile 2g is sometime faster than my full bars Sprint phone.

Now im not gonna keep roaming when needed, ive just been doing that long enough for my ETF to lower to the selling price of my phone haha.

/rant
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
Some people just don't get it or don't care. Something I bet ya didn't know either. In that small print of your contract did you know it also says that Sprint doesn't guarantee service inside your home.

Also comparing Sprint 3G to Tmobile anything is like comparing apples to oranges.

Again with getting the boot for roaming, I have only ever seen it once and it was happening for alot longer then your contract is for. So don't get your hopes up. And they didn't get booted out of there ETF they just got declined service and couldn't renew.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] devynbf:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
Yeah, i just got a news letter at work regarding the roaming data limits and voice roaming limits as well.

800 off network minutes or the greater of your plan minutes.

300mb off network data or the greater of your plan data.

Effective March 8th they are going to start fully enforcing the policy. Stated that they have the right to charge / suspend or terminate user.

I should also add that this will be on a case by case basis. There not gonna just start screwin people without looking at all angles. I can however promise ya your not going to get a 700 $ phone for free because you roamed to much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kwazytazz:
How about in areas that the phone roam automatically to other carriers because the signal is so bad? Will they terminate you and charge you etf?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xKrisx:
As I stated, it'll more then likely be on a case by case basis. As I stated earlier, if you live in ND or WY, your probably roaming 90% of the time if not more. It's going to be one of those things that we will just have to watch and see. I don't deal with billing or contracts so don't get me to lieing, I just received the news letter on it.
