IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE YOUR HERO200 ALSO HAS SOME SORT OF KEYBOARD MALFUNCTION.
In the meantime, sell your jacuzzi. Buy your father a knee brace for his condition and an Evo to replace the one he Adrian Peterson'ed into the jacuzzi that has no hope of ever recovering. Problem solved.
Wow, the way you worded that I thought there was something wrong with your dad, not his phone!
In all likelyhood, since you've already attempted to turn the phone back on, the phone is toast. For future reference if you electronic device falls into water immediately pull the battery and get the device into some dry rice. Leave it there for at least 3 days and do not be tempted to put the battery in and turn it on until then.

We do have insurance but sprint is probably going to find a way to screw us.

I like the terms you used lol and my dad has a knee brace had to get surgery though.
If you have the insurance, you'll have to deal with the insurance company, not with Sprint directly. There will be a$100 deductible but that's far cheaper than buying a new EVO

my friend life isnt fair and why you pay a deductible i ask that same question my self why am i paying for something that im already paying? but what ever its better then buying it full price and your in luck even if they send you the phone(only the phone) ill be new they dont have referbished yet ohh and they will send you what ever they have first black our white so good luck
duuuuuuuuuude hah your paying for the luxury of saving money on a replacement. I understand your dad may have leg problems but he fell in a smallish body of water...i hope he is alright but that's not sprints fault. So you deal with insurance claim with asurion or whatever and pay 100 instead of a few hundred.
Not to be rude, but, you are 14 so the fact that you don't understand the idea of insurance is of no surprise.

Insurance is a gamble, but in this case-- he actually won.
Losing is paying for insurance on your phone for 2 years, and trading it in without having had to file a claim.
The loser here is Asurion, who now has to shell out a few hundred dollars for a replacement phone for the meager $7 a month they've collected from his father for the past two months.
Insurance companies are blood suckers.

UPDATE: Hey guys it's been 3 days and the phone works great! There are a few lines in the screen, but my dad already ordered a replacement . As for me I'm stuck with the Hero (
I have a locker at work. I keep my phone in it while I'm working along with all my other valuables. Well, when pulling the phone out of my locker, it fell to the ground which is about 3-4 feet. I have a Platinum case from Best Buy on it, which is the same as the Seidio Surface Combo case(I didn't have it in the holster) and a Zagg Invisible shield on it. The screen cracked in about 5 spots and won't turn on. The local Sprint repair Center didn't have the screen for it so I was advised to file an insurance claim. I just bought the phone on Saturday! Oh I am so mad at myself for not paying attention more and getting in too big of a hurry. The corporate store wouldn't exchange it for me. I know, no one cares about my sob story, but it just sucks and you guys are my ventilation units.
That sucks. At least its replaceable.
Yeah, but I'm a little upset that Sprint doesn't have these screens yet. It wouldn't cost me a dime if they did. Now I have to pay $100 deductible. It is what it is, but it's still upsetting.
That sucks man sorry. One night my girl got pissed @ me so she beamed my phone (she knows how much I love my phone) straight at the wall. I have a cheap case on the back end but I still got no scratches and dents on it. I guess I just got lucky. Sorry again.
sounds like bad luck. I've dropped my phone a ton of times with just a cheap TPU case on it. No issues so far, whew.
why cant they just swap it out for u? if its repairable, then u shoudnt have to go thru insurance...

If it makes you feel better (probably wont) I feel your pain...almost. Today my wife went to use the bathroom with her et4g that I just got her a few weeks ago in her back pocket and it took a dive straight into the toilet. I even told her to be careful with that because its the most common water damage "oops" I see from females coming in my store!

I feel bad for you. I've dropped my E4GT a few times and there's not a scratch on. No case no screen protector on mine. You must have dropped it just right or wrong

Really? I've never known them to do a repair for damage for free. Normally they examine the phone for dents and signs of droppage and try to blame ANYTHING on that problem so you have to go through insurance. But I've only known them to do physical repairs for free on hardware problems not related to user error. A cracked screen would definitely get insurance status, and they'd merely charge you the $100 in-store for the repair instead of making you wait two days for Asurion to ship it out.
I just filed a claim... cracked my screen but it still worked... Sprint told me since it was longer then an inch, so I couldn't get the screen replaced at the repair center. bs

Said the samething when my EVO cracked. Repaired it myself then traded it for this phone because I broke the volume button. Stupid reason but no I miss my EVO, did everything I wanted to and more. Try fixing the phone yourself first.

I have never had to pay for a replacement due to physical damage (not water) and have had multiple cracked screens either repaired or the whole phone replaced (on other phones).
Seriously try a different repair center, I actually have the best of luck with 3rd party ones. If they can't repair the phone they just do an advance exchange and call me a few days later when the new phone comes in.

The glass on my T989 have had scratches for the last month. It hasn't gotten worse, but I really want to get it fixed, because its starting to really get to me. I'm weighing my options, it seems it would be too costly, and I plan on rather spending money on getting a SG3 at full retail. Should I repair this, and sell it, or sell it as is on craigs list? What would be the most cost effective way? I notice there are OEM original glass replacements on ebay for like 10-15 dollars but don't know how to replace it myself. How much would it be to get a professional to do it? What price would I be able to sell it at on craigslist just to sell it as is? I'm not sure what I should do, any suggestions would help. Theres like 6 hair thin crack lines spread in a circular pattern about 2 cm apart on the top half of the screen. Any suggestions appreciated thanks!
I have never tried it myself but I have heard that replacing the screen on most phones is not too difficult.

I dunno this one seems pretty darn hard. My Hd2 was a b**** since it needed soldering so instead of trying I just sold it
Ive been meaning to post up a tutorial but I did it for myself...it was simple but Replacing the screen on this phone for some scratches is not the best option though as its an expensive screen
Btw the screen and the digitizer are one peice... Or at least very well glued together
Isnt there some type of 'scratch filler' thing that you rub into the scratches?
Try on of these ideas

Are they scratches or cracks? Big difference.
I had a few thin, semi-deep scratches on my screen a while back. I put a dab of white, semi-gritty toothpaste on the scratches themselves, and buffed it into the scratches with a dry towel corner until all residue was gone, then repeated. Did it about 4-5 times and lines were almost entirely buffed out. Can no longer feel lines and can only see when looking extremely close for them. Phone smelled good to boot! Haha!
Cracks... that's a whole another issue.
Best,

Phone was plugged into my laptop and I was using it while I sat on the floor and the laptop was on my nightstand... I got up to close the laptop lid and it fell...unfortunately the corner of the laptop hit the screen... I spent 175 for the replacement screen and fixed it myself

Holy crap $175?! I'm assuming you didn't have insurance? The deductible is only $130.

I don't have insurance for t-mobile, I use simple, so I have to buy the part straight out I guess
Ahh that sucks. But my opinion, I rather buy another one just to have . Extra battery which is how I got mines. Paid 100$ and it came with a battery charger and 2 batteries included. Someone was hurting for money I guess. I didnt inspect it or nothing. Had water damage. Sent it in to tmo and the sent me another one for an extra 20$. Can't beat it for the price I paid

true, I'm going to have to see if I can find a stronger case, if not, I might just go buy a commando for verizon, these phones are getting to expensive to repair these days
So i sent my phone to LG after i dropped it thinking they will fix it for free the phone is about 14 days old and now they are charging me 140 to fix it does anyone have any alternative that maybe be cheaper or is LG actually being nice.
Sprint is 150$. If you have insurance, I wouldn't suggest fixing it yourself unless you know what you are doing...this phone is a piece to take apart.

Its actually a great deal. Since screen and digitizer cannot be replaced separately on this phone parts alone sometimes run close to 150 depending on who is ordering it.
Without insurance a screen can run you 225. Having replaced one, 140 is not bad.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I see this on a day to day ... if you have TEP that doesnt mean that all is replaced for free. Think of it as you paying car insurance if somethng happens you will have a deductible. alot of time they will squeeze some screen cracks through the system...usually 1" or less .
