Asurion out of Dinc's ? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have read on another site that Asurion was out of our incredible so I called them and they said they have plenty in stock if I needed to make a claim. Has anyone made a claim in the last few weeks or know anything about this?

If you make a claim on an Incredible with the original Amoled screen and they only have Super LCD in stock, will they allow you to choose another phone? I'm constantly paranoid about being stuck with a Super LCD. I just prefer the amoled.

I read the same thing today too! I get home and have a letter in the mail,from Asurion! I open to find out that they're lowering my mo thy charge from $6/month to $5.18/ month. But my deductible is going from $89.00 to $99.00! Ok. So it's more expensive,but they better have replacements in stock!

I first heard about that price change about a month ago but just saw the thing about them being out of Incs today. Apparently they're replacing them with Droid x's.

I hope not I dropped my phone the other day luckily it just nicked the top plastic casing and the screen is ok . I would not want a droid x I think I would have checked on ebay for a used one

yes I just had my dinc replaced by a droid x by asurion. did not like the droid x nearly as well. I was due for an upgrade anyway so I upgraded to a dinc via verizon. now I have a brand new droid x for sale.

Not necessarily. I had a droid 1 that I lost and they sent me a refurb that looked like **** and the hinge on the slide was loose as hell. I told them that was unacceptable and they said that the droids weren't being shipped anymore so I had to pick another phone (lesser phones). I told them I wouldn't take anything less that my droid, so eventually getting up high enough got me a droid, and I specifically requested that I got a brand new phone (incredible) because I didn't want to get another crap refurb. Then I was shipped a brand new incredible to replace my droid 1

Prepare to be pissed, then. It's all but assured that you will receive a refurb. It's like most any other insurance... you get a replacement kind, taking depreciated value into account. State Farm, for instance, isn't going to give you a 2011 Mustang if your 2006 gets totaled.
the screen has a sort of pink color to it when see whites at a low brightness, anyone noticed this with hardware version 2

I'm on my AMOLED Inc (hw version 002) with the brightness all the way down, I've never noticed a pink color :/ odd.

Warrantly replacement AMOLED and SLCD?

My phone (once again) has a broken external speaker and its basically unusable at any volume. I have a warranty on it through asurion but I was wondering if anyone knows which screen type I'd get back. I have an AMOLED and would really like to keep it that way. If not, are the SLCD screens really that much worse from what I hear?
Thanks
You called arurion and they offered to send you an Incredible? I called them about a month ago and they said the Incredible was discontinued and that they could only offer me a Droid X.
Ive had 2 replacements from them so far. Both were the amoled version.

I actually haven't even filed a claim. I'm thinking about just dropping the insurance and sticking it out with my Inc. I would hate to get an X over this.
When you got the AMOLED was it recent or before the SLCD versions were announced?
Sent from my HTC Incredible
It was back in February. So if you haven't filed a claim yet, they will end up giving you an X instead of an Inc.

[CONFIRMED] Getting Inc 2 through Asurion

First of all, let me just say that the Dinc 1 is the best phone I have ever used. I loved everything about it. Well, to make a long story short, it fell off my lap and the screen shattered Filed a claim online through Asurion, and the inc 1 was out of stock, so they are overnighting me an incredible 2.
Did I do well in this situation???
I am kinda bummed because I have 2 extended batteries for the inc 1, and some sweet cases. None of this stuff will work with the inc 2...
And as far as root/roms go, the inc 1 is a marvelous device to hack, but hows the inc 2 coming along???
I would like to hear your opinions on this one guys. Will I love my new and improved incredible, or will I miss the original...
What do you think???
Well i just picked up a Dinc2 a few days ago, Had it rooted in about an hour and had CM7 on it by the end of the day!
Best Android device ive ever had! you will love it 10x more then your dinc1!
But it is a bummer about the cases/battery's =[

I guess Ebay is my friend in this situation
If it comes with 2.3.3 then the device can't be rooted. If it comes with Froyo it can.

I had the DInc and you will not be disappointed with the DInc2. The only problem is that if the device you get has 2.3.3 on it, you cannot root (yet). I'm sure the devs will figure out a way but for now you can only root if you're running Froyo. If it makes you feel any better, I bought mine on Friday and it came with Froyo. Rooted and running MIUI now!!! It's amazing.

Not quite true. You can root it with an XTC Clip, it just may cost you about 40 or 50 bucks on ebay, so yes, ebay is your friend in this situation
Personally, the clip is well worth the extra cash if you need it. The MIUI official ROM on this device is awesome, and we're only getting more and better ROMS, especially as more devs and hackers switch from the Inc1 to the Inc2 just like you did.
Well yeah

If my new Dinc 2 from Asurion comes with GB will I still be able to root it? Even if I have to buy an XTC Clip?

Warranty?

I know that if you root it'll void your warranty, and today I dropped my phone and the faceplate shifted to the left, does anyone know if I can take it to Costco even on S-Off to get it replaced, or anyone know how to shift it back?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA Premium App
I seriously doubt the folks running the phone booth at Costco even know how to tell if a phone is S-OFF or not (or get paid enough to care). Flash back to stock and go return it.
If you just flash back to stock then they will never know.
Rooting won't take away your warranty. Verizon doesn't check to see if you rooted (if you exchange over the phone). Severe physical damage is the only thing that will take away your warranty. Good luck getting a replacement that works though. Extremely poor quality control in the refurbished phones. Dust, scratches, blown speakers, etc. I swear verizon just ships the defective ones right back out.

you must elaborate further otherwise we are only to see that you are contradicting your statement. As I do agree you can get good refurbs. The part when you say "I've had numerous replacements. Never have had any problems with Verizon or Asurion." If you've had numerous replacements, then the refurbs can't be all so great, UNLESS of coarse you are talking about a number of different phone in which you had to get refurbs for.
Alright thanks for your help, I'll be flashing stock on this and hoping I'll get a Froyo

Alright! So I just came back from Costco, I got my phone exchanged for a brand new Inc2, and sadly it's S-ON 2.3.3 :/ Kind of wishing I never exchanged it, but one without a banged up faceplate is nice. Waiting for AlphaRev to get S-OFF *fingers crossed*

How much is a single use one/cheapest one? I don't have much so do you know if any phone unlocking places in SoCal use it/anyone in SoCal (San Bernadino/Los Angeles County)?

I see what you're saying. My first Incredible 1 we took back to Verizon because Costco was cheaper. Then I got one from Costco brand new that after 5 or so months had some software glitch that Verizon sent me a replacement for. That one was refurbished. That one worked better than all of my other phones I had. Then I dropped it and shattered the screen to smitherines. My new Incredible 2 is the refurbished replacement for that broken one. So, like I said, I haven't had any quality control issues from either company. Maybe I'm just lucky but I'm a happy camper.

How to upgrade Dinc For Dinc2

Not quite sure what you've been reading, but these are two completely different physical devices. You're not gonna be sticking a 4 inch SLCD into an Incredible anytime soon, nor swapping out SoC's.
If you mean swapping the ROM for something running Sense 2.1, that's easy. Just find any Sense 2.1 ROM and you'll basically be having the same experience, albeit slower, as a dInc2.

I think he means how people are getting their Inc replaced by Asurion for an Inc 2. For that, your Inc would have to have a hardware failure or something and you'd have to be lucky enough for Asurion to be out of Inc 1's in your area. Then you'll probably pay a premium of like $100 or so to get an Inc 2.

I don't have insurance... so i'd do it through verzion, I just go it from a friend, and it has a blown speaker, i just wanted to get something fresh, and new, i never even thought about sticking a 4 inch screen in that phone, i just was thinking something global xDDD,
Thanx for the responses!!

Most likely, Verizon will just give you a refurbished Inc 1. Also, he was being sarcastic about putting a 4 inch screen in the Inc. Lol

Unless you bought the phone from Verizon, they have no obligation to honor the warranty that would usually cover hardware issues like a blown speaker, etc.

By all means, see what they say. I just know what I've been told by Verizon, although they can choose to make an "exception" and help you out. Happened to me when I got a D2 from a friend with a faulty camera. They did end up replacing it, but made sure to let me know that since I didn't actually get the phone from them, they didn't "have" to help me.
It never hurts to try. Sometimes they'll throw you a bone and help you out, and other times they won't. It's all in the luck of the draw.

I'd love for them to be like oh yeah you don't need this or that but we will, any ways...
Good luck. Verizon is a bunch of bastards. I went through 4 Droid Eris' and they never did anything but send me another refurb, over and over. We got lucky tho, had one early upgrade and there was a Buy 1 get 1 on the Dinc. Then again I had heard of people breaking their Eris intentionally and Verizon swapped it for a Dinc on their first go....
So it all depends. If your phone is in good working condition, do you want to risk breaking it and possibly getting a phone in worse condition than your current one? Or do you just want to wait the 2 years for your contract to be up and get the latest hot phone?
A year from now the Inc 2 will be old like the Inc is now. Then you'll have the saaammeee dilemma my friend.

Yeah good luck getting that Inc replaced by VZW...unless that phone was purchase by your friend new within the past year.
I've read somewhere about people getting their Incs replaced with Inc2s if they received the OTA GB update and had issues. That's a different case though.
