Just destroyed my mytouch4g and had to send it in to the insurance company. Anyone want my battery? It doesn't fit in my new sensation so I have no use for it. Rather let someone make good use of it instead of throwing it away.

Wait so they sent you a sensation as a replacement for the mytouch 4g?
If so Ill be sending mine back as well. Mine went for a swim in the porcelain pool a week or so ago and has not been the same since.
In fact I went to two t-mo stores today looking for batteries (We no longer carry this phone or its accessories is what I was told) and even went to verizon to try and get a thunderbolt battery since they are the same (only had fat battery which wouldnt work because I wouldnt have the right back).
I ended up ordering a seidio "extended" battery when I got home...wish I would have seen this first.
May I ask how you "destroyed" yours? and did you return it to stock before sending it back?
i could use it mines crappin out
my battery is more than begginning to crap out on me. After a full nights charge, im lucky to get about 30min of talk time before it will just shut off on me. Only to turn back on in 3-5min with a battery level +50% (or so it says). Needless to say i will be buying a new battery in the next 48hrs if im not so fortunate.

dropped mine and the screen exploded because i tried to catch it and just slapped it even harder towards the ground. phone worked fine but the screen was like running your fingers across well a broken piece of glass. called tmobile and go through insurance but they didnt have any in stock so they offered me the mytouch4g slide or the sensation as a replacement as those were the closest match to what i had. and yes i flashed it back to stock and got it s-on before sending it back.

I was within my 30 days when they ordered my replacement evo. This was done about 15 calendar days ago. Now I am out of my thirty days.
They say that they will call me when they get one in stock.
It just occurred to me that if they haven't had one in stock for two weeks for my replacement then they could not have sold any either. Lol
How believable is that?
Something tells me that if I send my girlfriend in to act like she wants to sign contract and purchase an evo, suddenly they will have one in stock.
I might actually do this, with me hiding around a corner until I see that evo that isn't in stock
Bad thing is that I am exchanging this because of the charging issues. I bet my new one has the same issue, if nothing Else they will have more incentive to look at the charging issues...with folks exchanging these over these issues.
Since then, I have got the two 1800mah China bats with chArger and battery hasn't been a problem since. But I'm still waiting for my Damn replacement.

that would depend on when sprint ships them more
go to a service center, they have special stock set aside just for them and they are brand new, they dont come in the box but the device itself is brand new.
So apparently there is a shortage of evos?
Kinda silly isn't it?

My charging port is getting kind of loose my charger and usb is real easy to slip out. My usb sometimes disconnects from the computer but doesn't do it often. Will sprint just fix it or will I need a replacement? I don't feel like rooting hwd 004. My hdmi doesn't work and my data is horrible but I use verizon prl that made it better but my data is always disconnecting, when I first got the phone it was always around 1.0mbps now on sprint prl .20-.56mbps. Should I try for a replacement or just deal with it?
Swyped from my Rom but will always be a Mynion!
Just went through this with sprint. They are very adament in not replacing the device w/o the $100 deductible.
They say it's wear and tear and wont fix it and you need to contact assurion.
I got mine replaced as I did alot of *****ing.
Good luck to ya

Thanks. Lol why is sprint being so greedy lol we are already paying the tep+wimax fee when I barely use both. 4g isn't even in michigan and I have two lines so they are getting double from me lol I think I covered that $100 already lol just by paying that lol and lets not talk about my phone bill lol. Greedy Sprint
My store would replace that device for you.
I walked in told them me charging port was broken, left it with them for about an hour so they could verify it. They filed a warranty claim for me as a defective device and shipped me one that arrived the next day. No $$$$ out of my pocket. No *****ing, no being irate or making demands.
Just a thought....
Have you tried a different cable? Seems the HTC cables do not plug in as tight as other brands. Mine was very loose and wouldn't charge right so I switched the cable out to another one from an LG phone and it is way tighter of a connection. I have to pull it in with a small bit of force to get it to unplug.
Is your store in MI

Cool I wonder if I can go a day phoneless Lol I should be able to make it work, xda, and working on my rom should keep me busy I'll head over to my local sprint after class. All the guys in my local sprint is rooted and one of them have a extended battery like me but he was jealous of Myn's RLS4.95 when it was in beta lol he was on fresh.

Hey i work for sprint too in Mi, but i am about 4 hrs away from you. TEP will cover it because there is a known issue with the charging ports. Also you shouldn't have to go w/o a phone for the day, i would suggest kicking it back to stock to avoid issues w/ the repair techs. But that would only be with the stores that know what they're doing. lol Feel free to PM me if you have any other q's.

Swyped From My Rom But I Will Always Be A Mynion!
Hey everyone.
Alright so I just got my Evo a few weeks back through BestBuy. Today while I was texting on it, the phone randomly shut off. I figured it was just a random reboot type of deal, but then the phone would never turn back on.
I tried charging the battery and it won't charge so I'm going to assume that it's completely fried. After I came to that assumption, I grabbed my friends batter and slapped it into my phone, and it worked perfectly fine, so it's safe to say that it is the battery and only the battery, not the phone. My battery also didn't work in his phone either
Now my question to you is, since it's still within the 30 days since I got the phone AND I have the Black Tie protection plan, will they give me a new battery no questions asked? Or do they need to boot it back up and inspect the phone also? The reason I ask is because I'm running MIUI and don't have enough time to keep my friends battery to flash a 2.3 ROM. Also I don't want them "inspecting" my phone, and upgrading my phone because I like having root.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys/gals.
Uhm, I'm not 100% on this but you shouldn't have any problem. What I would assume they will do if anything is try powering up on your battery, which won't work, then try plugging it in to charge, which won't work. Get a different battery and if it powers up, they probably won't pay attention after the HTC EVO 4G screen pops up and give you the battery. On the other hand since its a Best Buy I don't know if they will have HTC batteries in stock, they might have the cheaper ones like Radio Shack. Try a Sprint repair center, they would be more likely to have a battery for you. I've gone to Sprint before for various phone issues and twice they didn't know what being rooted was so they didn't even realize it and once, the manager noticed it was rooted, fixed the problem and asked me to root his lol. Good luck.

But they have to replace my battery don't they? Since it's still within the 30 days? Even if not, I have a $50 dollar gift card, and the last time I was at BestBuy I saw they had a 1700 extended battery that didn't require an extended back. Has anyone heard anything about that battery?
Radio Shack wouldn't be able to replace my battery since I didn't get the phone from them originally, right?
The other thing to my advantage is that I know most of the guys that work at the phone department, so they don't really care that it's rooted.
Well yes they would be obligated to replace the battery for you, what I a saying though is that Best Buy will not likely carry EVO batteries in stock. They will probably have extended batteries or replacement non HTC batteries, I'm saying that you will probably have better luck getting an HTC original replacement battery from Sprint, reguardless of where you bought the phone from its within the Sprint 30 warranty and HTC 1 year warranty, so you don't HAVE to go to Best Buy, go to anywhere that sells Sprint phones, manufacturer warranty works anywhere...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I understand now. I went in to BestBuy and go figure.... The old one worked. It didn't at first, but after a few minutes of them trying it actually kicked in.
I was able to get the extended battery and I only had to pay the difference. I was going to buy that battery anyways before this whole thing happened, so it worked out well.
SCIENCE!!!
Nah, it froze up after user "t" on voxer added me as a friend(most likely a fake hacker account). After pulling the battery it locks up on the HTC boot screen. when booted into recovery it seems the system and cache partitions will no longer mount. Verizon let me upgrade(as i was out of insurance replacements) early to a rezound(which appears to be following a similar S-OFF situation-whiny impatient do-nothings crying foul over the wait and then of course the wait itself)
anywho im willing to give it to anyone interested in research and development. you just have to pay shipping(if its even worth it lol). If no one wants its just gonna get chucked.
BTW-off topic but whilst i wait for my rezound to come in the mail a friends letting me use a motorola photon on his sprint account and that phone sucks. the camera button sticks(its like 2 weeks old)and it freezes every so often.
You can probably still save it. Do you have adb set up?
yeah but everytime i try to flash a new recovery or anything at all for that matter(including trying NANDROID restores)it freezes and i get a failed message in adb and fastboot. something along the line of "to many reads" or something.
Did you try unrooting?
well its on GB(Virtuous Affinity), and from what ive read it has to be on froyo to unroot, and without being able to flash anything i kind of...cant
after reading this-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393538
it would seem it wasnt a hacker, but the tiniest drop of coka cola that fell on the front speaker grill, the voxer user thing could have just been a coincidance as this guys phone seems to be doing the exact same thing.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/incredible-2-rooting-roms-hacks/120950-guide-unroot-revolutionary-incredible-2-a.html
so.. how much for shipping??
I don't think i can save it but i hate to see if just thrown away
yep, even flashing using the pg32img method causes it to freeze, but ive editted my last post right at the same time you posted this so im fairly sure its useless to everyone now, but if someone wants a fancy paperweight its still up for grabs
and andy-shouldnt be much- it weighs almost nothing and with USPS flat rate shipping boxes maybe like 10$, ill take it by the ups store tomorrow when i go to pick up a case for my rezound(theyre right next to each other).
theres one thing im not-nostalgic except for the inc1 which was a soldier. it brought a tear to my eye when i found it dead.but for saving it, if it is a moisture problem, here in Birmingham(al not UK) we have smart hpone repair places all over the place, the only reason i didnt take it to one of those is verizon went way out of their way to ensure i wouldnt switch to sprint(which i threatened to do)

yeah that why im thinking it was that tiny drop of coke that slid down the side of the can a drip right into the front speaker grill(note to self-dont leave the phone in your lap whilst drinking something)tried to blow it out, but probably just blew it further in.
edit:because it was only a drop and not much you can have it for your fiance, then take it to a smart phone repair shop. I dont know what the prices are around you, but here its only like 95$ to clean it out(if the screen has moisture damage they replace it for a hell of alot more,but this ones fine), being that its probably that drop causing a small short. If your wary id be happy to send some pics.

That's one powerful drip.
yeah, you know lol, like when your drinking from the can and the slightest bit slips by and gets all over your nice white shirt-well it landed like bullseye on the speaker.-its either that or the hacker theory cause they both happened right before the phone went nuts

I bet it was that Carnivore got into your phone and devoured itself from within the motherboard...
My Battery port on my phone seems to be messed up. The orange light is on to show a charge but it looks like it isn't gaining any juice.
Weird because last night it was charging fine, so I'm not sure what the deal is.
Anyway, I'm wondering how the whole process to try and get a replacement phone works. I have been looking to purchase a new phone anyway, and this is just giving me a better reason to get one.
If anyone has gone through this process before can you please share what you did?
I more or less want to know if I am about to get raped by Big Red or if I am going to need to buy a brand new phone outright.
I am wondering if the script I installed to improve battery life is causing this issue. I actually turned my phone off to see if it would charge up and it is, just EXTREMELY slow.
I am just speculating right now and trying to narrow down the issue. I know charge ports are an issue for this phone, I am just hoping I don't need to go that route.
Try a different charger. Yours may have went bad.
As far as the exchange, do you have insurance? If not how long have you had your phone and where did you buy it? Also did you buy it new or refurb?

I have tried multiple chargers and get the same result. Sometimes it will charge, but most times not.
I have no insurance on in, and it is under a year old. I bought it brand new.
Of it is under a year old then just call Verizon. Tell them your phone won't take charge. They will replace it for free with a manufacture refurbished incredible 2.

I just replaced my phone (it was under one year as well) by calling verizon and telling them it wouldn't charge ... it's a known problem w/ our phones. They replaced it for free (as long as you return your old phone w/in 5 business days). i unrooted and put my phone to s-on again before i returned it. good luck!
