99 Dollar EVO at Amazon!!!

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-evo-4...om/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003N9B3CY/B00011AB0A-20/

I was gonna post this as well. Does anyone know how to get that price with an existing line that is eligible for upgrade?
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!

Im gonna cancel mine.. I just bought mine a week ago.. I have 30 days to cancel and Im going to do it! This is BS! Well its damn good, but I paid 300-100 mail in rebate..
Now they are allowing a company to sell it for 100 bucks, for the SAME EXACT thing?
NO WAY!!

Now if there was a way to get it at that price if you are not eligible for upgrade.. like my wife

You think they are doing this so that people won't jump ship and swim to Verizon to pick up an iPhone when those come out?

Can't help, but I can say, when you are eligible for a wife upgrade do as many 30 day trials as possible.

New sprint insurance

How does it work?
I have TEP and a scratch on my screen but I don't wanna pay 100 to replace it. I can just bring it in and they'll fix it?

I cracked the screen on my Hero and when I called Sprint, they told me it was $100 deductable and told me the site to go to to get it fixed. I certainly hope that the Sprint store wouldn't have fixed it for free, because I just bought the Epic instead of paying the deductable.

If you go into a corporate store, they are more flexible, everything over the phone is handled poorly.

If you take it to a sprint repair center they are supposed to replace the screen for free if you have tep and for $35 if you don't have tep. This was a new policy implemented by sprint in late October.

My phone needs repair?

My touchscreen is horribly acting up...I have bestbuy's $10 monthly insurance. Anyways, when I type, it registers multiple touches and makes my swype type words that I don't want. If this a hardware or software issue? The touchscreen is also not as accurate either.
I was on ec05 and running ext4, midnight rom v5.2, bonsai 4.0.4 kernel (I think). I also flashed blue mattel theme, incase that matters. Its also not just swype, when I hold my finger down on threads, the screen shakes as if I am constantly moving my finger, but im not.
I flashed reRFS stock and it semmed to help, but only to an extent.

Did you try ODIN? If ODIN doesn't fix it then it confirms that it is indeed a hardware issue.

My wifes epic got messed up and she too has the bestbuy $10 insurance.... trust me, they don't care what ROM you have but your in for a treat:
* Rapid exchange only quilifies for the iphone and blackberry.
* They will have to ship your phone out** and wait till they can "repair" it.
** the first time we shipped it, it took 1 month to come back. When we tested the phone in store, nothing we told them to fix was fixed and their response to that is "we have to ship it out again..." its been 15 days now (almost 2 months in total) and even as they said that they would "expedite" no news....
Besbuy insurance = never ever again!

Please check your facts. Sprint started Rapid Exchange for all their smartphones on April 19th with Best Buy. Several people on these forums have already used it.

Best Buy insurance will replace it with a new phone no charge. Sprint TEP will replace it with a refurb for $100. If you have no insurance they may be able to replace the screen for $35. Cracked screens are considered user damaged not a warranty type item.

Maybe Best Buy will get there one day...they just started the Rapid Exchange program. But they do at least get you a new phone not refurb and so far average time is a day or two. BUT they do not cover lost or stolen phones like TEP. I think I am going back to TEP on my next phone since I doubt they will let me switch back.

My bb just gives you a new phone when you bring it in as long as its in stock. Been that way for over 2 years now. Plus it allows you to upgrade if you wanna pay the dif of the 2 phones. My epic was only 10.24 the cost of the new protection plan.

Tech support

Does anyone have the hook up when it comes to getting replacement devices? Long story short I filed a complaint with Sprint because I was hung up on and disrespected by customer service because my device is not fixable, noone at Sprint is comprehending what I'm telling them. So they tell me I'm "sh*t outta luck" and yea they actually said that to me. Any help please??

Same thing happened to mine, I took it into Sprint. I told the tech guy that my charging port was loose and it wouldn't charge. As I started to go into further detail, he told me it was a known issue, that it couldn't be repaired, and that he'd have me a replacement the next day after 3pm.
It was my first real one on one experience with customer service and I was impressed. I do have insurance, which he said was why I was getting a replacement free of charge, which is confusing since so many people say that insurance is only for things that require a deductible. I think insurance has a warranty of its own or something, but I'm not sure about that.
If you have insurance, just take it into the store and hopefully you'll get the same service I did. If you don't have insurance but it's still under its one year warranty from HTC then you can go that route. If you want to place a complaint, you can email Dan Hesse's office directly. I don't know the email address but you should be able to find it via Google. A lot of people have had issues resolved by doing so.

Asurion Insurance help?

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:

How do you mean it runs slow? Could it be there is a bunch of stuff taking up ram? If you have any experience flashing roms you might want to check out some of the awesome work in the dev section. Some really top notch stuff over there right now.

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

I just went ahead and reported the phone water damaged and I'm just going to pay the 100 deductible I did get a call from assurion saying they do limited these forums and advises against fraud and they do monitor these forums.
