In the table, it says that the warranty (1.99) covers only malfunction. And "normal wear and tear" is grouped with malfunction in the description at the top of the page. So hinge falling apart is normal wear and tear I'm assuming? what about scratches? And then how is Damaged defined? Any one have any idea? I don't want to pay 6 bucks when I can pay 2...
[G2 and Desire Z General] noodles2224:
Seriously :) that's why I had that idea of saying its lost and getting that replacement for her.. saves me and makes both of us happy :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
@noodles2224

I had similar thoughts when I was younger and even talked to a T-Mo rep about it. I learned that if at any point you insert your own SIM card into the phone you claim was lost or stolen, you can expect a not-so friendly visit from the insurance company's lawyers or investigators.

Say you give your phone away to your girlfriend. The first thing they will do is check the SIM card and the account it is tied to. If you don't share the same address, or are linked in some way say through relatives or former addresses (anything a basic background check would show), then they will check the call history and see if you two know each other. It doesn't take a high school education to figure out if your phone was stolen or not. Claiming it was lost won't do much for you either.

I wouldn't be surprised if T-Mo can now remotely disable devices. If the phone is on and transmitting, it can be located pretty easily as well, whether that's for prosecution or recovering losses. I am pretty sure that if you make a claim with the phone in-hand and turn it on, you'll find yourself in trouble very quickly. If **** goes down, good luck convincing anyone, especially a lawyer or judge that your girlfriend stole it.

They don't take fraud lightly; I don't think you should as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
It must be nice to not have a problem with stealing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Aphotix:
Tmobile can blacklist imei #s. Currently its only used if you buy a phone on an installment and then choose not to pay your bill (ie someone buys three g2s on em+, pays $300, and never pays what they owe, tmob would blacklist the imei due to fraud.) You can expect this progam to cover lost and stolen devices in the future, as this is most likely a phased rollout to make sure the system works first.

I've never heard of anyone on tmo commiting insurance fraud. My hunch is that they just 'dissappear.' ...

Dude do what u want. If u get burned then hahhaha and if u don't then ur gf is gonna be 1 happy lady. Aside from this the insurance is awsome. I cracked my screen on my 3gslide and 130 bucks and they sent me a new one not some reused refix phone
[G2 and Desire Z General] greensnow:
has anyone used the insurance from asurion before? I just got a thing in the mail about a class-action lawsuit against them because they were replacing phones with different, lower-costing phones with no notice. i've had insurance with them for years but have never had to use it...seems kinda shady
[G2 and Desire Z General] cyberjones:
They won't know. T mobile can't give out info on lines that aren't being insured. So if you decided to defraud t the insurance company just make sure the line you put the"lost" phone on doesn't have insurance.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rpmccormick:
In one year from now, the phone will probably cost around $200 on eBay. In one year from now, at $6/mo, you will have paid $72. $72+$130 = $202. Therefore, I believe if you can keep from breaking your phone for a full year, then you will lose money by having insurance (even if it breaks after a year).

I have never had insurance and I have never had a lost or broken phone in 15 years of cell phone use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elracing21:
I have used asurion/tmobile's insurance to replace a "lost" phone. I have give a BS story to get a new phone when in fact I just sold my phone and profited the money. They don't blacklist IMEI numbers, I have done this twice. Once with the sidekick slide and the other time with the G1. You just need to take your sim card out of the phone, give a believable story and keep the sim card out of use until your new phone arrives.

For those talking out their ass about blacklisting and what not, unless you have had it done to you or have seen it done shut up about it because its not true but...

YOU ARE ALWAYS LIABLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS IF YOU GET CAUGHT COMMITTING FRAUD.

I don't know if I got lucky but I have cousins and even my father who has done this to get someone a cellphone at the deductible price. None of them have ever reported anything blocked on their phones or even receiving fraud notifications in the mail.

I mite even do this again myself later on if i ever need a quick $200 bucks.

AGAIN it is illegal so...

This thread has spun off-topic to subjects like fraud which XDA does not support, locking if it doesnt change
[G2 and Desire Z General] ThaGeNeCySt:
If you do get insurance and something happens to your phone and you get a new one.. do you continue to pay the 5.99 a month for insurance or does it get deactivated?
[G2 and Desire Z General] elracing21:
You continue to pay and it continues to cover your phone

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jjpeasl:
I have the tilt 2 running the newest version of xda on it, my question is to other with the tilt 2 running android do you get diff network names in the notification bar?

i.e. some times it says cingular some times it says 'ATT' other times it says 'ATT0" any one else having this issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Hamsteriel:
This is a known issue. It just has to do with what tower your device is connected to, I believe.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jjpeasl:
ok but would that make it so on some of the towers the 3g wouldnt work or any data connection?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Hamsteriel:
I should think not. If I would hazard a guess, I would say it probably has something to do with internal names of the tower transmitters.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] jjpeasl:
ive encountered about three diffrent towers or names that it uses that i dont get data connection, i can restart my device or put it in airplane mode and take it out of then it normaly works fine and it will use one of the names ie cingular or 'ATT@'
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmtacos:
in manage applications all apps are stuck at "computing" and will of stop. It used to be fixed by restoring my phone to an earlier date but now it just doesn't work.

Apps2sd, disk usage, and unmounting the SD card do not work. Force closing.

In the market I cannot install or uninstall apps.

And when I restart ill lose access to the apps on my SD card. But I can access all info using a task manager or taking the card out and accessing it from my pc.

Is my internal memory failing?

I don't know what else to do Ive tried so much.

Restore backup factory reset SD card format etc.

Froyo 2.2 stock rooted.

Any ideas?,I'm desperate.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Wipe completely and try a different ROM like CM6. If you're still getting the same problem, then it's a hardware issue and you're hosed. Run the RUU at that point, and take it in to get a replacement, and hope for the best.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
How long do you give it? If you have a lot of apps, it might just take a lot longer than your are expecting, since it has to load the data for everything. I'd recommend just giving it a little more time (unless you already do). Before Froyo, even with just a handful of apps it seriously took around 3 minutes to load that kind of information.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmtacos:
I've given it up to 45 minutes at times, several times after a recovery it would all fully finish computing, then after i install an app or something to that effect it seems it 'breaks' again.

I tried other ROMs and after the first few apps i begin to reinstall it does it again. So i took a break, recovered it and went to bed. This morning it seems to be doing fine and now i'm reading there were market issues with other people last night, could this be connected? Is the market that integrated into the phone that it could cause issues like this?

i'm emailing HTC for some advice because i can't find a specific google/android technical support email address about the issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gus616:
ii'm in the same boat.all my apps are stuck on computing. i cant even unistall, or move apps. the only positive is that i can still run all my apps. but i cant install anything new as it stays stuck on installing and never installs the app. this seems like a problem with froyo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyopaque:
Mine does this ever since I installed modInstallLocation, and moved a ton of stuff over to the SD card. If I ever have to reboot for some reason, or if I have to use the phone as a USB device, most of the time the apps never recover. Sometimes (rarely) a reboot fixes it, but most of the time I have to pull the battery, pull the card, reboot several times before it will finally get all my apps back. It seems completely random. I can't uninstall or install anything either until everything is back to normal. It happened again last night, and I still haven't gotten it to recover. I let the thing "compute" all night (7 hours) with no luck.

btw, this is my second sd card, so I don't think its bad.

UPDATE: I got them all back! I wiped the Dalvik cache from within Clockwork Mod, and about 4-5 minutes after I rebooted, there they were!!!

Eh, something's bungled. You can try deleting (moving, renaming) your data.img, and you know it's possible to copy the data off the card, format it, and copy the data back on to the card, right!??!

Android's still kinda fickle, as this project is still very experimental and changing very quickly. I'm hoping to get to the level that the Vogue got to, but that took a VERY long time!

[Vibrant General] WalMarx:
My friend has a completely stock in every sense of the word vibrant and just last night his phone froze, he did a battery pull reset, and today noticed his app market had changed. He showed me it and it is in every way the 2.2 froyo market. I have a captivate with the leaked 2.2 firmware and compared it. The two markets are identical. Prior to today he had the stock 2.1 market. The new market also lacks some apps such as google earth. He has not gotten the new ji6 update from tmobile yet. Any ideas what this may be? Sorry if this is something normal for the vibrant, it's not my phone I'm asking about.

Edit: he has the stock jgh firmware on his phone

Please don't scream on me i'm new here and i "google it" before but i did't find a normal answer!

So it is possible to have only android on hd2? without WM just one OS? how i see is most likely NO but WHY or it's gonna be possible soon or nobody work in this way? cause is pretty hard i guess for my hd2 to stay on 2 OS....

for me i guess it's easier to take the rom from EVO and flash to HD2 cause the only difference is GSM/CDMA+4G the rest it's pretty much the same.... So if anybody have an answer probably not just for ME please post!
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
No. You cannot flash Android to the internal NAND memory of the HD2. As of now there is NO WAY to do this. It IS being worked on, but no solution has been presented.

The only way to currently run Android is by booting it off of an SD card from within WinMo.

The WHY about it is because the bootloader of the HD2 is a relatively new one from HTC, and has not been fully circumvented yet.

And as far as the EVO being "pretty much the same", I assure you, it's an entirely different device. Very few components are actually the same, and its not just a process of using the build of Android from the EVO and putting it on the HD2, drivers for basically everything inside the HD2 have had to be written or borowed from other devices.

In short, Android on HD2 NAND instead of WinMo=NO.
[HD2 General] Fircic:
Finally i have an very enough answer!!!! :) and probably it's gonna be fine to add this to a FAQ or somehing like that!

If you happen to already use iTunes to store your music, and you have a wifi network at home... then I highly recommend TuneSync: http://www.appbrain.com/app/tunesync-lite-(for-itunes)/com.highwindsoftware.tunesync.lite

I tried a couple others, but nothing as good (or easy) as this.
