So I got my epic 4g, flashed it to hell and back, and somewhere along the line my usb port shorted so I couldn't Odin back to stock. Brought it back and they said that even though it was rooted, they would order me a replacement, if I told him how to root his E4GT. cool and everything, but...
Well, then came the day I was going in to exchange it...I was skating there and I hit a rock and my phone flew about 20 feet away. The screen was DESTROYED. Brought it back to the sprint store hoping for the best...handed it to the tech and she looked at me like I was insane, then handed me my new phone. Then she asked if I was on xda and smiled and said hell yes:3 I then ran out of the store before someone came and took it back xP So thank you sprint techs that are awesome and root their phones and stuff, you saved my ass.

Buy a tpu case. It is like 9.99 on Amazon and has saved my phone a number of times. Once my headphone cord got hooked on a door and caused me to throw my phone to the floor (not drop, throw lol). Picked it up and the phone was fine.
You will have to cut the volume rocker out of the case. It is insanely hard to press for some reason. I used a knife and scissors to cut the volume rocker out of the case, was easy to do, once you get the hole you can almost finish by hand just by tearing it.

I think you ran out of the store cause she made you nervous. The conversation starts off about xda but who knows what nerd talk like that would've led too
Mandado from my E4GT
as of right now, sprint really doesn't have a policy about phones that are rooted other than putting it back to stock. If the problem is still there after the stock rom is on the phone, then it is still covered. tell you the truth if your nice to the techs and let them know its rooted they most likey won't care... atleast i wouldn't
Stop playing basketball with your phone! and congrats they helped ya in the pinch
Seriously guys almost all of us (techs at sprint) are rooted and rommed and could care less if you are, but there really are times when it can help us get things taken care of faster if you just say it and don't try to deny it. We still cover all the same stuff we would if you weren't rooted. Plus its cool to see some of the stuff people have running on their phones

Good luck it's a great job. Could pay better, but free cell phone bill, decent benefits package, plenty of opportunities to get free phones, being around technology all the time...I love it.

Ok, she broke the second Atrix. The first one she dropped and cracked the screen so I got a rubber case for the replacement.
This time she left it on top of the car and it got ran over by a truck.
Since our health care provider doesn't cover brain transplant, can anyone recommend some kind of industrial war proof hard case or something for the Atrix?

get one of those helmets that you see some mentally retarded people wear for the phone. otherwise, i think you should... wait for it... wait for it... keep on having patience. i mean you either have to deal with it, because you're obviously dogging her for being "retarded" and staying with her, so that makes you the guy with the retarded girl or you're just going to have to love every phone she breaks. i mean love her for who she is.

Go in the house and smash the stove with a hammer everytime she does something wrong. Worked for me.
But in regards to the case;
I work in a factory operating an oversized grab forklift. I have the otter box defender case, and have dropped it out of the forklift all together heaps of times, no physical damage. Though, its bulky and not very lady like.
I stick by my original advice to take a hammer to her stove though.
I have the otter box commuter and love it. Its just like the ballistic except the commuter has covers for all the ports.

I've got that, broke several phones on it. When it's EOL (and they can't fix it) they give you credit toward a new phone. Killer deal.
Edit: I also have an Otterbox on mine but that's only because I worked in the field for a long time, losing your phone mid-day kind of sucks.
So last night i was just holding my phone and the screen literally just cracked for no reason. Has this happened to anyone else?

Did you call yet or take it in? Got a picture? This happened to some OG Nexus phones and it was blamed on keeping the phone in your pockets with tight pants. I guess it could add stress to the screen when you squat or bend certain ways. Like someone else said there had to be hairline crack somewhere. Picture would help to see where it started.

So I've got one of those sprint kickstand cases. The one that doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone. I dropped my phone today and now it's got a pretty good dent about 3/16 of an inch long and 1/16 of an inch deep. I hate my phone now. I can't stand thinking about it or even using it.
I want some advice and suggestions about my options. Should I try to sell it and get the evo once that comes out? Should I just keep hating it and using it till my upgrade in august? Trade in maybe? I'm open to anything. I can't stand this dent plus gps sucks on this phone.

Depending on how useless you are with tools and your hands you could probably buy some other whiny crybaby's shattered screen or a phone with a bad ESN and swap out the part, there is a thread about how to dismantle your phone.
Have you tried sucking the dent out, with your mouth?

I bought mine around noon the day they came out, my button is still completely firm. Not sure how much relative abuse it has taken though. Seems pretty weird to me that it could be rattling, as it feels like it is a pretty solid fit. But maybe we will all be complaining about this soon enough.
