I dropped my phone outside Walmart the other day and now a day later my vibrate isnt working do I need to take it in or wat i should do ?

Physical damage (done by you dropping it) is not covered under the warranty. Your only choices are to pay the insurance deductible (if you have insurance), or buy another evo on ebay or somewhere.
Dude said it all.

Hey man,
Yes It sucks vibrate doesnt work but it might be easier and cheaper just to live with it till you get an upgrade! Now if you have TEP, you will have to pay the deductible because you broke it yourself, if you are rooted that means unrooting of course! but besides that you really dont have any options.
Thanks guys Im just gonna wait till the ltes come out beside this phone is tuff Cuzco this is like the forth time I've dropped it on concrete.

What did you do the other 3x
If you were on verizon, it would be a simple phone call..
"hi.. my vibrate stopped working.. no clue why.."
"ok sir.. we will have a replacement out to you tomorrow".
Done.
Oh, and its "advice"

I dunno.. I get 1400 min a month, 10 unlimited min numbers I can call, unlimited text, and truly unlimited data , 2 phones , for 160 a month. My buddy on att has a similar plan. And pays about the same.. its really not that bad. It's not like att is half price or something.
Oh you said sprint.. they have good plans.. but their network could use work. There is no comparison between vzw 4gLTE and sprints WiMAX.

You can't compare the two...
LTE is an evolution of 3g where as wimax is basicly a highspeed broadband wireless network ie your home wifi over the states. Obviously you know which will win but for the price sprint is still better. Last time I was on vzw I paid 250$ month for two phones and the cheapest plan they had now paying that for unlimited for 2 4g phones and 2 other 3g phones.
Done and over...this isn't who is the best wireless carrier this is about "advice" on what steps should be taken to get a phone that was dropped replaced/fixed.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
dude
if there is no physical damage showing their is no need to tell sprint that you dropped the phone, just tell them the vibrate stopped working and see what they can do for you(if you have insurance) or not?!
Its likely hardware, as you are probably aware. You could give it a good shake. My evo stopped working, I took it apart and air cleaned the board and put it back together. I replaced the battery and havent an issue since.

Clearly it's not for everyone. Its for people who don't need unlimited and are tired of paying $80 a month. My bill went from $80 a month to $25. I use most data at home over wifi. There are many people who don't need unlimited.

Just wanted to jump in, and let anyone know, that my locked to tmobile SG2 running Dark Slide works 100% with Straight Talk's new Bring Your Own Phone.
I even ported my number, took 4 hours for everything including data to be working 100%, and I am still getting 4G speeds.
And my phone is still locked to tmobile.
Hope this helps.
Wait you still get 4g? How? Straight talk doesn't offer any 4g plans.

Please be kind enough to post a speed test
I'm a little n00b at straight talk, but do they offer unlimited data or something?
Sorry, Ive been busy.
Average results for speed....
Now, keep in mind, im in the middle of nowhere in north texas, so standing in the living room might get better than going outside, or 3 feet to the left..
Down Up
.77 .62
1.21 .98
.82 .67
6.90 1.38
6.20 3.21
5.33 1.16
.88 .38
6.55 3.44
so, it is all over the place, but then again I am a 1000 miles from nowhere, next time I go to say, Mkinney, or even the Plano area, Ill probably get the 21+ speeds. Also, I flashed the Blaze Modem, switched to the WCDMA settings, just kinda messing around for now to see what I may get, Ive never really monitored my speeds while on TMO, phone is always connected wifi at home, and even then, ill use my tablet, so data doesnt matter to me.
Voice and SMS/MMS are flawless, and that matters to me.
So can the phone roam on att towers?

I plan on making the switch as well, I actually talked to them last night and the lady told me that all I have to do is just order the sim for Tmobile. Can't wait to see if this is just as good as Tmobile.

I'm happy with it so far, going from 220.00 a month for 2 lines to under 100.00 makes me happy.
However, wife's G2X has no data connection, gonna have to spend some time on her phone tonight.

I heard they only give you about 3gb of data but I'm considering it now since they have unlimited everything for $45 and I have had a tendency to eat my 100 minutes these past two months.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I just ported my number tonight. I gave up lte for a 45 a month plan. I switched to att in 08 for the iphone 3g. I paid 70 unlimited talk, 30 unlimited data, 5 for 200 texts add taxes around 120. 120×12=1440 a year opposed to 45×12=540. That's a 900 savings a yr. I can buy a phone with no contract with what I save. I'll give up lte speed for 900, I still get 4g with around 2-3 mbps download and 1 mbps upload. I'm on wifi at home and even if I do a little tethering on my cm9 touchpad at work I wont go over straight talks watchful eyes for people who have 4-10 gb of data usage a month. I definitely broke the att shackles tonight and have no complaints. Even if someone has to pay back early termination fees you have to do the math and see if you're still saving over a year or two. 1440 a year ×2= 2880; 540×2= 1080 for 2 years of a contract I will have saved 1800.

But he's tired of paying so much money and wants to come to sprint but I told him to wait because there's no good phones out with a keyboard and its not worth putting a new 2 year contract for a phone from 2010.
Then I remembered he's on verizon lol think it'd be possible to flash it to sprint? Will that be illegal? I mean, he's willing to pay the etf to get out of verizon, its his to do whatever with from that point on right?

whats the point for speed? To see who's faster? Who cares?
As long as you can get your data or info whatever you need like if you need directions or need to hop on the internet and get something whether it be 20 seconds or 45 seconds it doesn't matter.
And if your in a hurry you should have planned ahead, and don't "say well with LTE or faster 3g speeds i don't need to" well that just makes you lazy as hell.
I rather pay 200$ for 3 lines being UNLIMITED versus 250+ on VZW.
And yes were unlimited because the fact its slower but again who cares.
just saying..........
hey everyone..what keeps you with sprint!? the unlimited data and any mobile is great, but the data speeds and lack of 4g or LTE are kind of annoying...so what keeps y'all with sprint?! I Love the aformentioned perks, but I think verizon 4g lte in my area may tempt me to switch
Well I created a new plan with sprint [was on parents' plan] and I could have went anywhere. I went with sprint cuz of the data prices, and the overall price wasn't bad. Not gona go to at&t and verizon and get raped with data. Also LTE coming to my area is supposed to be heavy, so we will see.
Its cheaper then the other carriers. I get full signal on sprint everywhere I go in my area. It actually has unlimited data

15 years of loyalty to a company Carries a lot of weight when you know how to get the right person on the phone. for me no other provider can offer services products or discounts that can compare to a company rewarding your loyalty. Almost left a few years Ago when if seemed I could never talk to an American ( no offense intended ). Sprint has really done a 135° turn since then. Not quite there yet but doing better.

Yeah I think its a good deal. We have a discount and still pay $150 a month for two 4g android phones. Once the wifes contract expires it may be worth it to cancel mine and flash my e4gt to boost.
Just a heads up. I saw this comes with ics and only a 1500mah correct me if I am wrong but I believe our sprint version comes with 1800mah plus with all the battery issue's a lot of people running ics are having this phone might get horrible battery life. Just food for thought
