No more SuperSonics? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well...I heard of some people actually messing up there EVOs and being given the EVO 3D in replacement....
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.

OiSeee...maybe me calling it in was the difference makes sense..i just didn't wanna get rid of my SuperSonic experience lol

Stores are pulling them from the sales floor. A week ago Sunday had to go to best buy to pick one up for my sister in law and tomorrow am ordering a epic touch from amazon wireless since they are a penny for upgrades and new lines.

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.

Bad karma, if you break it on purpose you won't get a shiny new E3D, you will get a crappy refurb ...
I don't believe in karma, but I had to throw that up! LOL

Called in to check, after reading the thread. One of the EVO's on my plan is having issues. The CSR asked if I wanted the EVO4G or the 3D. So I guess it might also have to do with luck of the draw :/ .

True, true amigo. My cousin was just offered one after shattering her screen. But she chose to stay OG, cuz she likes her white phone, and they wouldn't give her a white 3d. Lol.

Why not replace the screen on the evo and sale the new one or old one and make cash towards a new 3D I sold two evo 3Ds for 200$ each recently.. people don't really want them anymore currently :-(

Sounds like you paid too much, bro . Used Evo 4Gs are going for $200, I know people that broke even selling their Evo on Craigs and eBay. I plan on doing the same thing as soon as root is achieved so I can wireless tether.

I'm proud to say that I am ditching my 8th & 9th G2x Finally fed up with T-mobile customer service, I strolled into a random Sprint store today. I had planned to pick up a free Nexus S 4G and wait for the Prime, but when I mentioned to the sales rep that I had two G2x's, she offered me a free SGSII + $150 store credit for accessories, etc. Of course, I'm still stuck paying T-mobile's $200 ETF but I still feel like I came out of this whole G2x disaster better than most. And it feels great to finally follow through with months of me threatening t-mobile.../rant
In the past 3 weeks I've exchanged both the Evo 3d and Photon. Loving the ET4G

left a white EVO 4g prolly flashed it 300 times since i got it in march. I realized for some reason sprint had me as a full upgrade after 6 months so i sold off the evo and jumped on this before they figure out their mistake ha

[Q] thinking of buying the sgs24g is it worth it?

first off i have an evo shift 4g, running cm7.
i had a nexus s 4g for a week before i decided i didnt like it and went back to the evo shift.my main issue was non removable storage.
now my interest is in the sgs2.
ive never used the touch wiz ui. but i do prefer vanilla android.
id be buying the phone out of contract for 350 new.
whats the consensus should i buy it?
Not gonna find better on Sprint at this time...period.
Just moved on from the 3d and I couldn't be happier. Don't hesitate at all

Which phone could I trade sprint for?

Greetings,
I have the Epic Touch 4G right now and I've already gone through a few. The first was due to LOS (bad, like 10x a day) the second kept overheating, and now my third one hit 122F and shut off and I haven't been able to get it turned on again.
Does anyone know if sprint would trade me for a Photon, or something similar? I know they used to allow you to trade the EVO for a Nexus S. I have TEP, so it shouldn't be an issue.
PS: I love this phone and don't want to leave it, but I have to have something working as my wife will be delivering my little girl in a week ...
Call sprint and explain your situation. They may offer you an option to return and renew your upgrade. Otherwise find a trade on xda plus cash? Im sure you could trade for anything on sprints line up except the iphone and get some cash back.
Im 100% I want to trade for the next best thing. My phone caused me to miss a call for a phone interview. id even be willing to trade for a photon + cash at this point.

I probably wouldn't mind the photon. I'm just not a huge fan of Motorola's UI, but I suppose I could mod it and get away from it. If this phone wasn't such a crap shoot I would love to keep it, but I must have the worst luck with this phone as my friend has one and hasn't had a single issue with his.
Do you think it would be worth it to exchange this phone one more time and hope for the best? It seems like if it's going to die on me it does it within a week, but sadly my wife will probably be in labor within that time.
BTW, I already have an appointment to head into Sprint tomorrow and see what they say about switching it out for a Photon.

For some odd reason the phone is working again. I will probably keep it around and hope for the best, but we'll see what's going on. I looked into both the HTC EVO 3D, and the Photon. I still can't get behind the lack of features on the 3D. Sure, the 3D could be "fun", but I am sure it would only be fun for about 30 minutes and then I would be bored with it.The photon looks good short of the terrible UI, and that Pentile RGBW display ...

my local sprint store does do repairs but I dont know if its a corporate store or not. but I went in and the only thing they want to give me is the evo3d, I specifically asked for the photon and they said no so I ended up walking out with the ET4G I walked in with.

It depends on what they have in stock. And its called insurance fraud if you mysteriously lose it to get the 3D
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i know its fraud but i meant to say lost/broken in my original question. sorry for the misunderstanding.
i work in loss prevention and in one of the stops i was making my phone fell and cracked the screen, it was still usable so i just kept using it because i love my EVO. but lately the screens been acting up and its getting harder to type on it and answer phone calls and i read in that team nocturnal thread that asurion was offering evo 3d in replacement so i decided to just go ahead and file my claim for my broken phone (it was about time) and yea sure enough they are replacing the og evo with the 3d....so i got my answer. but thanks for the heads up evo4gnoob

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?
