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.

Thanks guys.

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.

Every new or refurb EVO have 2.3.3?

Well, my girlfriends EVO has been randomly shutting off, vibrating 5 times, and then flashing the led once the screen is off. From my research, it looks like anyone who has encountered this issue has had to replace it. I'm going to try a few things to fix it, but if I'm unsuccessful and need to replace it... is it guaranteed that the new or refurb will be GB? Or do we still have a slight chance of getting Froyo? She's gonna be so pissed that I won't be able to root it lol. I am praying for froyo. Anyone have any insight?

i would guess sprint would have someway to roll official os back to whatever was previously available. If i were sprint i should as hell would want something like that.
its a thought to ask a sprint rep which i am not.

Yea I was afraid of that. I'm hoping I get really lucky, or that i have some luck bribing or convincing a tech to roll it back to froyo. I know they MUST have the ability to do that.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. If it were that doable for a tech, you'd have heard about it by now.

cant you just run the RUU from froyo, then root it? thas what I did. and I just took my Evo 3D back, and had my evo replaced last week and they gave me a refurbished fone with froyo on it, but that was at best buy...

Best buy still carries evos loaded with 2.2. Got two of em week ago. Tell the tech you want to power it on yourself, then cancel update.

My wife's refurbished came S-On with Gingerbread & she hasn't shut up about it yet. Good luck!
Sent from my.....click, click, boom

There is no reasonable method to rollback to 2.2. RUU will not work. Update.zip will not work. PC36IMG.ZIP will not work. The only option at this time is a NAND pull.

WTF is nand pull??

Wow that sucks I finally got my evo to be looked at by the sprint store... I kinda just want a replacement, hopefully new, but I'll be pissed if it comes with GB. Well I'll find out if they fixed it or replaced it in about an hour so wish me luck!!

Ya I have an evo with a scratched up screen so Im debating just getting it done elsewhere since sprint wont do it now. I dont want to gamble with an insurance replacement.

I finally upgraded my fiance's crackberry to an Evo...so luckily she is still fascinated with it stock. But can't wait to root it!

Just got my replacement and yes it has 2.3 not likely that any replacement will have froyo sorry

If you recently got the Dinc 2, what version of Android did it ship with?

I was wondering, for those who just picked up the Dinc 2 (either new with contract or as a replacement device), what version of Android did it ship with? Froyo or Gingerbread, basically.
If you could please say when you got it and if it was new or a replacement device.
My replacement (from a Fascinate) device should be here tomorrow an I'll report back with what I got.

Got mine Friday, an insurance replacement, and it had 2.3.3 on it

I have mine with 2.3.3 also.

I know i got my replacement a few weeks ago, not even a month and it was still 2.2

I got mine two days ago.. came with 2.3.3.. sucks because cyanogenmod would be stellar on this device. Hopefully they can get a temp root going.

XTC clip is a possibility as well all. expensive. but worth it.

Bought mine online last week from Verizon and it had been opened and updated prior to them shipping it. At least it looked that way. I went in to the store to have it replaced because of a defect and the new one on Saturday had 2.3.3 as well. So it's gonna be tough to find one sans Gingerbread I'd imagine. Especially if you're buying from Verizon directly. Resellers such as Wirefly might be a better choice.

Just got my replacement Dinc today (for the Fascinate). Came with 2.3.3. So sad

Got mine Thursday 7/12 thru wirefly shipped with 2.2.1

So I just got my replacement this morning from asurion and I got 2.2.1
That mean I can root with s-off and all those goodies?
I haven't even looked in the dev forum yet.

Yes you are good to go as far as running AlphaRevX to gain S-OFF and installing ClockworkMod.

Upgrading to Epic Touch 4G?

I'm planning on upgrading to the Epic Touch 4G when it comes out, but my upgrade isn't due up for a few more months. However, my mom's phone is long overdue for an upgrade, and she's going to get my old Epic. My question is, can I use her upgrade on my line while transferring her line to my old phone?

It actually depends on where you buy it from i think
On wirefly there us a large fee if you use on a different number

I have done this many times. Have done it at the sprint store and radio shack. Just tell them you want to upgrade this line but you want to swap phones. I did it when I got the Epic. I did it to upgrade my daughters phone. And when I put my daughter on the account I gave my wife the new phone and my daughter her phone. Right at the counter each time.

Hopefully moving to the Epic Touch.

Some of you might remember me from the original Epic and my roms and work there.
I will hopefully be able to switch to the Epic Touch since I've had three replacements on my Nexus S 4G.
Going to try the store today and see what happens.

The zImage shouldn't be that hard to pull..

i dont think they put the epic touch on the wel exchange list yet, at least what my buddy thats a store manager said when i bought this on thursday told me.
hope you can get it to go thru though! good luck buddy

Well, I've been asking them to bump my upgrade up and I'll just pay the contract price for whatever device I want. Hopefully, that or I can just give them the cost of the Epic Touch.
I really want to port my ROMs over, and Sense.

I've been in constant contact with them for the past 2-3 weeks on the issue, not even looking to get a different phone, just one that works, but now they don't want to do anything for me since I've already had 3 replacements, the phone should 'already work by now'.

I'm waiting to release at the same time as the Nexus S Sense port.
We are also still working on some WiFi issues, but 3G works.

They have actually offered to buy back my Nexus for $100 and reset my upgrade eligibility so I should be good to go within the next 24-48 hours, hopefully today, so I can reserve an Epic Touch 4G.
