So out of nowhere this weekend my nexus's power button was wacky and only working 70% of the times i pressed it. I sent it out to samsung with an RMA number today, and am using my girl's old droid pro for the time being.
Do you get a new phone with an RMA? How long does it typically take? Is it possible theyll say its not broken you just have to start pressing it harder?
Thanks guys.

Ughhhhh are you sure? Is it at least in perfect shape? I sent mine back flawless, I didnt even bother taking my screen protector off.
Also another question, when I subbed the droid pro i obviously have 3g data and not 4g for now. I still have unlimited data on my line, so when i get the nexus back will i be back on unl data? Thanks again in adv.

They're supposed to be "like new", but they are definitely not new.

If you have Verizon/Sprint go into the store and ask for one next time. Guaranteed new in box.

If you call retentions, more than likely they'll take care of you. If you're out of contract retentions entire job is to keep you from leaving. The way they could handle this situation is more or less set it up in the system as if you were going to cancel, but locked into another contract... more or less, as if you had cancelled, then signed up as a new customer. In fact, that might be how they'd do it.
Give them a call and try.

Rethink that. Sprints version of the galaxy nexus is not supported by Google. The sprint version is code named the toroplus, look it up. Good development community though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure that device is any better than what we have now, in fact it might be worse.
I know ICS runs better on it. Smoother In my opinion. My wife has one. I talked to Samsung this morning and according to them Sprint is hustling Epic owners about a bug fix update. The Samsung Supervisor even said it was never recommended that Sprint push the update. She said no update is in the works for this model. The funny thing about it is Samsung says there call lines are flooded with Epic owners having issues and Sprint tells me there are not any problems and I need to take out insurance. That will be a cold day in Hell!

I believe since the Galaxy Nexus has reached its end of life, Verizon is now replacing the Nexus with GS3's. It's odd they didnt include the back and battery, however. I would call them and they should provide this for free.
Call them. They have mistakenly sent me replacement phones twice without the covers and batteries. They are free.

I didn't do anything. My phone died somehow after being on the charger. I didn't ask for an alternate (which I have done in the past but not in this case) and boom 2 days later...GS3 shows up much to my surprise.
By the way. Does anyone know what I can do with the spare batteries? I got like a whole stack of unused ones that somehow were sent to me....like 2 normal ones...2 extended one..and 2 back covers....

Hi guys, after having a faulty Note 3 for about a month I have requested a new phone from Tmobile.
They have promised me a "Like New" device, not refurbished.
But I do not really trust them, I have a feeling like even my phone is not new.
I know that there must be a way to check if my phone is new or refurbished. I have 4.3 android installed.
All the standard codes do not work ... ##786# etc .... can anyone help? Maybe point me to some app?
P.S.
Nova launcher did not help either.
Thank you.
after a month, yes you're getting a refurbished device. new exchange is 14 days or less, everyone knows that. stop worrying if its refurbished, if it works better than your last one then all is fine... just focus on testing the replacement and make sure that it works for you. if it works fine then move on. its a refurbished replacement. its replacing your damaged device.
it'll be fine

My whole question is how to test the new device ....
Just regular check ... ? Or maybe there is some kind of an app.
And I do not think its fair that I should get a refurbished device if I received a bad one since day one.
No app can test a phone like fully. It is under warranty. Plus you won't have it long enough. Just enjoy it

I wonder if I got a refurb when I bought my note from mobile. I had an issue with the phone not wanting to boot after pulling the battery and replacing. I didn't notice this until months after. I recently left tmobile for straight talk so I couldn't take it back to them. So I decided to send into Samsung even though I tripped Knox. They fixed it (according to the service website) and its on its way back. I'll test out out to make sure, then sell it.
