Well...I heard of some people actually messing up there EVOs and being given the EVO 3D in replacement....
But just last Tuesday I broke mine and I got my OG EVO in the mail last Thursday...I'm jus curious how and why didn't y'all jus ask for the EVO 4G?
Most just do an online claim through asurion so theres no one to talk to. And most see the e3d as an upgrade to og evo therefore not requesting an og but moving on to bigger and better places.

OiSeee...maybe me calling it in was the difference makes sense..i just didn't wanna get rid of my SuperSonic experience lol
Stores are pulling them from the sales floor. A week ago Sunday had to go to best buy to pick one up for my sister in law and tomorrow am ordering a epic touch from amazon wireless since they are a penny for upgrades and new lines.

They definitely have refurb replacements in stock you're not getting a 3D lol. If they don't they will say the 4G is on back order and either make you wait or give you a loaner or something. You won't get a 3D that easy.

Actually your wrong they are giving them out that easy cuz for
1. They wanted to give me a 3D and all that happen was the infamous charge port.
2. My wife's Epic4G gave out they replaced it with the 3D.
3. Her mom went in and talked to a repair guy about her Epic4G over heating and they gave her a 3D as well.
So yeah they are replacing your smart phone for the 3D if you DONT ASK FOR IT!
Now you've got me wondering if I should trash my 4G just to get a 3D as a replacement.

Bad karma, if you break it on purpose you won't get a shiny new E3D, you will get a crappy refurb ...
I don't believe in karma, but I had to throw that up! LOL
Called in to check, after reading the thread. One of the EVO's on my plan is having issues. The CSR asked if I wanted the EVO4G or the 3D. So I guess it might also have to do with luck of the draw :/ .

That is probably why sprint increased insurance from $7 to $8 last year. It's only a dollar but still

+1 to what others have said, that's just plain fraud, no other way to look at it. And yes I'm sure they look up IMEI numbers, they'll more than likely find out it isn't your phone.
That isn't why rates went up.
The phones have several unique numbers in them (serial number, meid, esn, msid, mac, directory number, and AAA password), some are easy to see (under battery), some are not.
Faking it will not get you very far.
Changing them, could get you into just as much trouble as the insurance fraud.
Haha thanks just asking .

you know fixing the cracked screen is one of the easiest things to do. you just need some special screw drivers and Youtube. I would go on Youtube and find a couple of easy videos that lay out what to do. then go to Ebay and buy the CORRECT part. I know you need a 4 or 5 torch screw driver also. but really, it isn't difficult. the best part is you will not wind up folding some musclebound guy's socks in a 6X6.

Funny post. He's right though. Not hard to do and there are VERY clear instructions on YouTube.
I cracked my screen and the screen's gone black... It doesnt show any color any light nothing. I have no insurance and idk what to do lol. I went into the sprint store and they were no help they told me to buy an evo 4g lte or buy an iphone 4s. So i was hoping someone on the xda forums could help /: por favor lol. Is it possible to fix this or maybe resell?
Of course its possible to fix, but you gotta buy the parts. And of course you could resell it. If you won't fix it, somebody else will. If you do plan on selling it, I might be interested.

Go to a different repair center and ask for a one time courtesy replacement. Don't be pushy about it, if they say no, just leave.
If someone comes into my store with a cracked screen no TEP, nice to me, and generally upset, I'll replace it. Only once though, gotta learn your lesson.

That wouldn't be the case. It would ban new sales. Asurions devices are "already sold."
They'll still be required to sell or replace with w.e stock of E4GT they have left. And I bet there are a bunch of E4GT refurbs in stock to get rid of before they can replace your phone with another phone.

Uhh..gnex was banned a while ago but the van was lifted until outcome of this trial. Wouldn't be getting one of those.
Well i can said this
On my case my sisters is on my account and her phone took a accident (photon) ,i call for the replacement phone and they send the same phone but was bad the mic don't function and decide to call again for the replacement and the photon was placed on BO( back order) and the photon of the same equivalent was the Evo 3D .
By the time the appeals over, we will all have new phones I'm sure..

Ahh, but that's the beauty of Boost and other MVNOs - they can shift the ESNs to their pools and dump the stock VERY quickly if they wanted to. And with NV continuing to roll out to major cities - we're supposedly up in November - I wouldn't be surprised.
OTOH perhaps this will motivate my MVNO to get the S3. But have to wait until June anyhow for the renewal discount.

thats not true. the photon equivalent is the epic touch. i went through 2 photons and asked for a different phone. they gave me an epic touch.
It is impossible to say what they will send you. It seems to be either a lateral move (similar range phone) or an upgrade. I have gotten 2 replacements from asurion in the past 2 years. I had an EVO 4g. I dropped it and the screen broke, they replaced it with an EVO 3d. The EVO 3D recently broke in my pocket (I have no idea how, I must have crushed it leaning over something) and they sent me the E4GT. The 3D is a generation newer than the EVO 4g, so that is an upgrade, and the SGS2 E4GT is similar spec'd to the E3D, so that seems lateral. That said, if I could choose any the E4GT seems to be the best of the bunch. My upgrade is in October but I think I will keep this for now!
I would guess they would have to send you another phone with wimax to match the e4gt. Whatever has a matching price on their website.
So my mom epic 4g touch is watered damaged and I was told to call ausurion and I would have to pay a 100 deductible would I have to give them the s2? And if I do can I just report the phone stolen and if I do is it the same 100 deductible and I'm asking because my little brother can use it as a music player til it breaks completely. Idk if this is OK to ask here so mods sorry ahead of time. Any help with this would be appreciated.

My understanding is you pay your deductible after submitting an "affidavit" about what happened, and they ship you a replacement phone the next day, so it's not a one for one swap, so your little brother can use it as an expensive mp3 player. . Just curious, did you try putting the phone in a bag of rice for a few days before giving it up for good? Might save you 100 bucks. Just sayin' Good luck! :thumbup:

That is also insurance fraud to report it as stolen when it is still in your possession, while the chances of getting caught are next to none but just something to think about it least

What? Asurion takes any phone back no matter what's the damage when they give you a new one. They even give you an envelope when reported lost or stolen just in case the phone ever gets back in your possession so you can return..

No problem. It's even noted on the site when filing a claim. I go through phones like crazy and I read everything. It goes something along the lines like any found devices claimed through Asurion are the property of Asurion and must be returned yada yada.. Something like that, it's been a while I lost or had a phone stolen lol
Ps: I had two claims this year. I would gladly screencap the email they sent me thanking me for returning my liquor damaged EVO LTE that was completely fried. So if they would take a liquor damaged one with a fried motherboard why not a water damaged one which still powers on?

A big part of me thinks Asurion is complete rip off. I used them once and paid the $100 deductible which pi$$ed me off because I had been paying them $9 a month over the past 4 years- enough to cover the cost of a new premium smartphone and the $100 deductible. And once I got my replacement phone (refurbished, not new) the first month or so were covered by the Sprint warranty yet, I still got charged me $9 for the "Asurion".
They want you to believe the replacement phone they are sending you cost them the same retail price you'd have bought it for from Samsung but that's bull****. I am sure they get them for buy them from sprint for whatever sprint pays for recycled phones., probably $50 then they mark it up 100% and viola $100 deductible. And if you tell Asurion you want a new phone instead of a refurbished phone they'll lie to you and tell you Samsung doesn't make the D710 anymore. But one visit to the Samsung website suggests otherwise.
In short I wouldn't think twice about getting over on Asurion.
And no it's NOT Insurance fraud. Insurance fraud is a crime when committed against a real insurance company which is regulated by the state.
Ask these people if they think you should stick it to Asurion.
Take the phone apart and hit the board lightly with rubbing alcohol and a soft tooth brush.
Before you do tho take a few pics of the board and post them and ill let ya know the extent of the damage
