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.

I like my Inc2 ten times better than my Fascinate. The GPS actually works in this device. I also get great battery life and there is no lag for me.
Here is a similar post from AC http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible-2/107364-any-dinc2-users-coming-fascinate-2.html#post1146594
The Dinc2 is extremely well endowed compare to the Fascinate, it has got both length and girth, you will be very satisfied with it I'm sure.
Seriously, we exchanged both our fascinates for the Dinc2 two weeks ago and love the new phone, wondered why we didn't do it sooner.
I had a fascinate, and would not go back. Build quiality seems better, GPS works, battery lasts longer, and in general, it's a lot less work to maintain, even if you're flash happy. No odin here obviously, but once it's rooted and setup, it's a breeze.
If you want a good phone go with the Inc 2. The smart play would be getting a Charge so your grandfathered in on 4G and wont have to pay more later on.

I had this same convo with vz on Sunday except I have a problematic droid 2 global. The after going back and forth and "supervisor approval" they agreed to send me a dinc2 in place of my droid 2 global free. The only catch was I had to meet them half way and buy a battery door and battery for it. Money well spent if you ask me. They were cheap on amazon. It hasn't arrived yet but I've heard nothing but good stuff about the dinc2. Can't be worst then my d2g.

You may be grandfathered into unlimited data for 3G but that doesnt mean 4G. When they start charging the extra for it youll still be on unlimited but data will be 45 a month not 30. Thats what I mean.

Well from a common sense stand point lets look at other competitors. Sprint, 10 dollars a month extra for "Premium data". T-Mobile after a certain amount you lose your 4G speeds and drop down to almost 2G speeds. And not to mention my cousin is the head engineer for western Arizona and that came straight from him. 4G is expensive to offer and maintain.
Hers what I found about upgrading to 4g. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/2...g-to-4g-after-july-7-can-keep-unlimited-data/i couldn't find anything about raising 4g prices.

I actually asked tier 2 tech when I was on the phone. he said they aren't able to talk about it with customers because nothing has Bern discussed yet. but that as long as you're grandfathered into unlimited data he doesn't think they will charge us more for 4g. so technically not proof, but I'd tale.his word over rumors. which is exactly what he said that is, rumors.

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.

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.

I just got off the phone with a rep dealing with bla bla bla on my phone then i started a convo about the SG3. I told him i am no where near due for a upgrade but i would love to get the phone he stated that sprint has a new buy out program. just to sum it up, sprint would buy my phone back from me ET4G ( in perfect condition)for 300 bucks for right now he said value might drop alil when SG3 release but it should be close to that. I think sprint is pretty cool for sprint to buy back my close to what i want ( unless someone on CL would pay more ) to help me get a new phone without upgrading. hope this helps anyone

Sprint has had Buyback for years now, they just recently started pushing it harder.
I can safely say that the buyback value on the E4GT is not $300, it's $105 like a previous poster said.
You can trade it in at THE SHACK and get $300: http://radioshack.cexchange.com/online/home/index.rails
There may be a deal for it, close to $300, when the sg3 drops.. I remember when the evo3d came out, they had a deal where they bought back your original evo for $150, which was a pretty good for that old of a phone.

I wouldn't count on getting anything close to that once the sg3 is out, or even the evo lte for that matter. Once this phone is not top of the line that price will plummet.

The price is already plummeting because of how slow and behind the times sprint is. I'm soon to sell my e4gt and swap to a gsm model and it looks like the gsm versions go for about 100 more. Kind of sad.

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.

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.
