The pattern in the past is if it came in the original box, then it is new. If it came in the brown box with only some accessories then it is refurb.

I didn't get a box or the accessories but ##786# and view says its not reconditioned. It has a big NO under that field. So I confirmed its not refurbished

Just checked mine, also not refurbished! Yay, I thought it was bc of not being in new box
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I also got my replacement without a box and they gave me an additional samsung charger with usb cable that are different from my original (which i got to keep!), so I thought it was a refurb and asked the guy and he said it was new but I was skeptical. This confirms what he said though: Reconditioned Status: NO
IMO you have a reconditioned/refurb phone that is not marked as reconditioned rather than a new phone where they removed the box and accessories and replaced with other ones.
Asurion and Sprint actually have real "new" stock where they give you the whole original package, at least they have had in the past.

I'm not too sure about that. I just checked my nexus s 4g which was a replacement and it shows yes as reconditioned, just checked my evo 3d which was a replacement and that shows yes as well. I think if they were refirbed it would say it was. My nexus actually even has a different sticker on the inside then the original did (not sure about my evo 3d as it's not in front of me). I do think they are new non retail replacements but they are not refirbs (yet) I'm sure in a month or so we will start to see refirbs for this phone

I'm currently an owner of an htc amaze 4g. Ive seen people exchange from the htc amaze to the Samsung galaxy s2. I just want to know how I could do that? I'm really getting tired of the problem that this phone has. I really want a Samsung galaxy s2. What's the easiest way to do that? Should I just buy a new one? :/.

lol everyone says that. well the i cant put a case on because it makes the wifi signal weaker, the flash messes up the pictures at night, the faceplate creaks when you put pressure on it(its very loud) and haptic keys on the bottom of the screen bleed through the screen of the phone so you can see it lighter on the bottom of the phone. that's a problem with all of the htc amaze. im just tired of all of those problems. i love htc sense though :/. is there any way to put htc sense on the samsung galaxy s2?

At one point I was asked where I got the phone. I lied and told them from t mobile and they replaced it with the amaze.

That is not ture anymore. I went through 4 HTC Sensations and the current one is having issues, and they will not replace it with a different model. I've tried multiple agents and pleaded at several stores.
Well was it within 90 days or less. Its in their policy. They are probably untrained or overlooking it. I have done this on two occassions. You can always have them transfer you to retention. Or if you complain hard enough you can initiate them to look at their policy. My wife has the mytouch 4g and had some freezing issues last month. She went through two exchagnes in a matter of weeks. The Rep told her at both the store while I was there and one on chat that if she specifically had three or more exchanges for the same device within 90 days an alternate phone would be offered. It is similar to or better. The reps can't choose as it chides the most comparable phone to your current one as well as same price or more. Sometimes they offered another option. It would be worth mentioning the policy next time or speaking to a manager and or retention.

For clarification tmobile use to do that they dont always anymore speaking with retention will do nothing in terms of that we cant force it to happen neither can a manager either your given the option or not.

Best thing you can do is sell your phone and just buy a galaxy s 2 used, just find a reputable seller.

People sell their phones on Craigslist and then report it lost/stolen and file an insurance claim with T-Mobile/Assurion. They get shipped a replacement phone and your phone gets blacklisted which means it wont work on T-mobile.
Ok sprint sent me a replacement because I was having speaker problems I wanted to know if could keep the battery from my old device?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
If Sprint sent you the replacement, I believe you need to send your old phone back to Sprint. If you do not send the battery, they will charge you the missing part. If you are lucky, it would not happen but Battery is a big noticeable part if it's not there.
Good Luck!
(Buying extra battery would be much cheaper from the market if Sprint charge you the cost of battery)

If you get a new device it will have everything and a referb is phone only. When you get it it will have a return deal in it and that's where it says no battery. They are shipping this to you right?

I replaced mine for a refurb at the store and I just kept my old battery so I'm assuming if they send it to you that it's the same for refurbs, new phones include everything. For the people who want more batteries, I simply called sprint and said my battery was getting horrible life and they sent me a new one at no cost and didn't even want the old one back.

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.
Back in January, I made a post asking about my SGS2 and why it wouldn't turn on. I didn't figure it out so I bought a SGS2 with a cracked screen and replaced my mainboard with it's. The eBay post said that the ESN was clean. I brought it to a Sprint Store to try and activate it but they said it doesn't show up in their system.
I don't think this phone was ever flashed. When I started it up, it brought me to a locked homescreen with a low-resolution wallpaper set and the ROM was still stock. I went into recovery and wiped the data. When I finally got into the phone, I found pictures of a some teenage girl who looked like she couldn't tell a Galaxy S from a Nokia.
So none of this makes sense to me. Is there any chance that this phone will activate?
Thanks in advance!
Maybe it was stolen from a shipment? Idk, that's odd that it didn't show up in the system.

Doubtful. Let us know what happens.
Something just doesn't sound right about that situation. If the phone did have a clean ESN then there would be no problem getting it activated. I have a feeling the ESN came back with a red flag and the Sprint representative didn't want to tell you.

Means your mainboard - while it says SPH-D710 on the back - may not have been in the Sprint ESN pool.
For example, Boost, Virgin, KDDI, etc. all have separate ESN pools and while they say you can port I have had issues with it.
Does the sticker on the board show SPH-D710 still?
And does the MEID on the sticker match what's on your screen?

I'm not sure and I really don't want to disassemble the thing unless I absolutely have to. I really can't afford to accidentally mess it up and, knowing my luck, something will happen. What I can tell you it that the HEX and DEC under Status in the phone's settings match the sticker that's under the battery and that sticker says D710. When I pull down the notification bar, it says that it's connected to Sprint and the old owner's info is still in the phone. Her e-mail was ********@sprintpcs.com.
So basically, if what you're saying is true, Sprint can actually fix this issue?
EDIT: I did pull it apart and check the board. It does say SPH-D710.

So Sunday my GS3 died out the blue. It was fine, then suddenly it turned itself off and then wouldn't go pass the boot screen. I call T-mobile and they say the phone is on backorder so I'll have to wait to get another one. Today I get a text message saying "The replacement device for your warranty exchange order is out of stock. A complete kit with a similar device or better value is being sent in its place. Your delivery may be delayed up to 48 hours".
Does that mean they are sending me a brand new gs3 or a completely different phone? I doubt they'd upgrade me to a gs4 right? I'm only worried because the last time I had issues with a warranty replacement from T-mobile, their idea of a equal value was to replace my Blackberry with a Nokia, which I refused.

They never send you brand new phone. It's always a refurbished phone. I had to sent back 3 warranty exchange phones because they just kept messing up.

Well originally they were on back order so I got a message saying they were sending me a brand new in box phone. It came with all the accessories and everything that a new phone has. But it acted like a refurb. Didn't charge correctly. First thought it was the battery but they sent me a new one and that didnt help so they sent me another phone. This one came like the refurbs do..with just the phone, no battery or back.
I just had to use my extended warranty from t-mobile (Asurion is the company I made the claim with) last week. I received a brand new T-999L to replace my T999. I'm loving the speed of the LTE and did root using odin to the stock rom. I'm not too keen on going further though after reading how all the roms on here don't fully support the t99L, reading how they might work or require patching but may not work at LTE speeds is reason enough to just keep the phone as is for now.

LET will still work. It just may not say LTE in the statusbar.

I also have the T999L and was wondering if the rooting methods for T999 will work on my phone. It was sent to me to replace a nexus 4 from TMO. I had no other choice..it was all they offering. Anywho, this is one of my concerns..will my LTE still work? Have you rooted and ran ROMS and your LTE still works? I want to jump in the game but don't want to mess up a good thing.
