Evo 4G

Hey guys I have found a Evo4g at work in pristine condition. Could I sell it or is it no good? I see that these Sprint phones don't take a sim card. So I wasnt sure if it would work unless it was purchased from store? Thanks guys!

I suggest you turn it in to your workplace's lost & found department. An EVO 4G is not a device that people will discard as trash. I'd like to believe someone is looking for it. If it's unlocked, peruse the contact list and make some calls to determine its owner.

You should turn that into someone, a supervisor...ect. SOMEONE is looking for that phone because...its a beautiful device. Mine got stolen [still don't know how] and I moved hell and high water for that thing. That person will really appreciate, and like dougjamal suggested, if unlocked, use the call log, make some calls to find out who's it is.

Seriously? You find someone else's property and you want to SELL it?!?!
Wow. It is amazing how society has fallen...
And let me tell you something about CDMA....
The phone is linked to the account through the ESN number... if he reports it lost/stolen, and you try to activate it, expect trouble.

Calm down... I found it over a week ago... I did turn it in to my supervisor and they called me up there and did paper work because no one claimed it. Alot of people in and out of plant traveling.... No contacts in it... What else to do?

Well...I guess hold onto it, and ask around for another week...
I would recommend leaving it with the supervisor/manager in the department you found it in, because it'd be most likely that person would turn to them to check. Also it keeps you out of liability if "something happened to the phone."

Yea your probably right. I would want my Glacier. Ima call sprint see if they knows who it is...

Lol
1. Pull the battery and find the ESN
2. CALL SPRINT tell them exactly what happened especially the policy for your company waiting a week for it's owner to return.
OPTION 2. CALL SPRINT and ask them if the ESN is clear. If it is your in the clear as well.

From the home screen, press menu > settings > about phone at the bottom > status, and it'll list the device phone number. Tell it to the sprint rep and they should be able to direct you to a person from there, also the MEID number if they ask for it.

I was wondering about this a few months ago when I moved over to Sprint. I signed up with the Shift and decided after it had shipped I didn't like the keyboard so I went to a store and swapped it. The guy accidentally put it in my bag still with my Evo box and I didn't see it until I got home. Being the nice person I am I returned it next business day on the "low", incase he might get in trouble, but I know for a split second I was wondering how much I could craigslist it for.

It will be illegal because you told sprint you no longer had it, as in fraud. Smh.... I by no means am perfect, but that's not how I would have dealt with it.

you paid for 1 phone,and sprint gave you three.send the other ones back.where are your values
now i know your first reaction will be to post some smarta$$ reply to belittle me,but if you can hold onto that urge for a minute and think how you would want to be treated
if you were sprint.

It is people like you who cause wireless companies to raise prices for customers. Like everyone else has already said: Where are your morals? Sure you pay for insurance so you feel entitled to use it, but your scamming only costs everyone else in the long run. Damn how I wish there were ways that things like this could be reported to Sprint. O well karma got the best of you in the end, because that "lost" phone is worthless in the end. Have a nice day and don't bother coming back to XDA posting about your cowardly actions because no one cares to hear about how you think you outsmarted Sprint.

#1: ur english is HORRIBLE. please use peroids (.) to end ur sentences...
#2:dont use caps, it means ur yelling...
#3: yes, u can flash it to boost. How? im not exactly sure. a quick google search came up with people offering the service but no how to guide.
EDIT...after reading his previous thread, seems as if this phone is STOLEN

What a looser .

Asurion replacement for EVO 4G?

Well, today I cracked the screen on my EVO 4G. I called the closest Sprint repair center and they say they don't replace them anymore and that I have to go through Asurion to replace the phone. I went ahead and made the claim through them so I'll get another phone probably Monday or Tuesday. I've read threads and posts from back in Feb/March/April saying they were replacing the EVO 4G's with EVO 3D's. Anyone know if this is still the case?

Not sure but Asurion should be able tell you. Did you have to pay a detectable?

It's the luck of the draw sometimes ppl will get an OG, others 3D so its a 50/50

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

When I replaced my wife's OG evo, they sent a 3d. When I replaced mine, I got an OG evo. So i guess it really is 50–50 lol
I read somewhere if you do the claim online that it'll tell you what they're going to send out before clicking submit but I have yet to try that way.

So I go to a repair center and here's what went down

I called today and made an appointment to see a sprint technician I go in and the manager stops me at the door and says can I help you with anything now any rooting veteran kn rows when u go into a repair center to play dumb so I said hum I have an appointment and he's like okay well come here and I'll look at the phone. That right there got me worried because and untrained cashier jockey was about to take a look at my phones sub port. The first mistake he made as I watched him carefully was he jammed his fingernail in the sub port and pryed the back cover off backwards and forcefully and almost throws my phone across the room. I wanted to say something but I did not want to spark him as he seemed to have attitude as it is. Well he outs a sub cable in ( first upsidedown) and he closely compares mine to the store cable I guess he doesn't know what micro sub looks like. And he says it charges just fine and decides to finally bring it to a technician and they ran a detailed test on my sub cable and determined it was frayed on the inside so I said to myself no buggy I then decided to ask if he cud do something about this crack in the screen bezel just about the volume rocker. And he employees and talks to me as if I'm 5 years old. The worst part is because he wasn't a technician I never got the survey call from sprint to rate his poor performance
Edit pleasebignor the subs* I opined back time stock today and you all know how shifty Samsung's spell check is

Well of course he treated you "like a 5 year old"... You were playing dumb and you probably over-played it.

Seriously, i wrote better than this and communicated myself across with more cohesion at 5 years of age. What exactly is going on here?

I have a good relationship with the tech supervisor at the local repair center. The thing that kicked it off was when I brought my OG Epic in back when I was trying to get MIUI on it (before MIUI was release for it), he thought it was pretty cool that I was tweaking the phone like that and asked me if I could do anything with his Evo......free service/repairs ever since, no questions asked.

I had a similar situation with a technitian we would keep up with each other me being a Sammy fan boy and her being an HTC fanatic we always had good debates about which xhipset was more efficient and blab blah blah any ways she left sprint to go work for Microsoft and since then getting any sort of repair has been a living hell.

NO, they "fixed" it. Reported to have replaced the earpiece/headphone jack assembly, and also replaced the power button. Oh, and I got a new stylus!
...but the earpiece still sounds like crap.
:crying:
Oh, I'm running 4.3 stock. I already went through all the settings to try different things. Like I said, external speaker sound great.

So YES. You CAN return a Note 2 for bad call quality.
IF you have insurance.
