Phone kept loosing signal and had many other issues. Got RMA for refund from Handtec, sent phone back - no replies to my emails, no refund. Been nearly two weeks now. Will report to my credit card issuer and trading standards.
Just be careful where you buy your stuff!
Handtec are my favorite supplier and never had an issue with them whatsoever. You tried ringing them?

USB charging wasn`t bug.
Loosing reception on regular basis. Had to turn off/on to get back. Often asking for wireless network password when there is none set - worked with other phones and PC. Multiple touches not working in games in landscape mode. Once a day it will turn off itself for no reason.

You have such right.
It was asking to type in password to connec to wifi when there was no password set. If you leave it blank, then it doesn`t let you continue, because password field is empty.
Maybe you weren't actually trying to connect to the right router? Did your router have a generic name?

haha thanks everyone and no they didnt offend me at all cause im not a noob but im also not a developer, i just cant get my phone into download mode because of the usb port malfunction i actually didnt know it was bad at the the time only because it still charged and what not but i traded an HD2 for it and was done messing with it, i wanted something new and its going to be new to me also installing this usb port haha so wish me luck i also bought one of those usb jigs off ebay to hopefully get me into download mode, everytime i use my cable it goes straight into stock recovery if it wasnt for that i would be flashing away! ive tried everything getting it into DL mode, also ive tried getting it warrantied but tmboile says ive had too many exchanges ha so im SOL on that one, i had the g2x before the hd2 and suppovsevly according to them its my fault they kept sending me POS phones esp since the g2x has been EOLed i mean cmon. they knew that phone had nothing but problems why still send it to people

No problem, also welcome to the community. Hope you are able to fix that usb.
One last thing though, now don't quote me on this, but I remember reading that using the usb cord from a g2x or I think any lg phone would get you into download mode. Not exactly sure how it worked, but I think you turned off the phone, connected the usb to the phone, then to the computer. And then power on the phone and it would take you to dl mode. Not 100% sure but you might want to look into that

To the OP, best of luck and let us know how it goes. There are DIY tutorials a well for usb port repairs.
And as for buying used phones, we must be careful. But otherwise, I say go for it. My SGS2 was purchased used via Craigslist and it's been running great with zero problems. I suggest everyone considering a used purchase visit the xda forum associated with the phone and see what kinds of problems/defects have been common with the phone so you will know what things to look for when you make the buy.

I called today and made an appointment to see a sprint technician I go in and the manager stops me at the door and says can I help you with anything now any rooting veteran kn rows when u go into a repair center to play dumb so I said hum I have an appointment and he's like okay well come here and I'll look at the phone. That right there got me worried because and untrained cashier jockey was about to take a look at my phones sub port. The first mistake he made as I watched him carefully was he jammed his fingernail in the sub port and pryed the back cover off backwards and forcefully and almost throws my phone across the room. I wanted to say something but I did not want to spark him as he seemed to have attitude as it is. Well he outs a sub cable in ( first upsidedown) and he closely compares mine to the store cable I guess he doesn't know what micro sub looks like. And he says it charges just fine and decides to finally bring it to a technician and they ran a detailed test on my sub cable and determined it was frayed on the inside so I said to myself no buggy I then decided to ask if he cud do something about this crack in the screen bezel just about the volume rocker. And he employees and talks to me as if I'm 5 years old. The worst part is because he wasn't a technician I never got the survey call from sprint to rate his poor performance
Edit pleasebignor the subs* I opined back time stock today and you all know how shifty Samsung's spell check is

I have a good relationship with the tech supervisor at the local repair center. The thing that kicked it off was when I brought my OG Epic in back when I was trying to get MIUI on it (before MIUI was release for it), he thought it was pretty cool that I was tweaking the phone like that and asked me if I could do anything with his Evo......free service/repairs ever since, no questions asked.

Hey everyone. Thanks in advance. I have searched the forums, the web. Ended up here. I rooted my phone, added carbon rom. With goo download I think it was called. "Goo" something. Now my phone is dead. Will not boot to download mode. Will not turn on at all. The only time I can get anything response from the phone is when I pull the battery plug it in and hold the three buttons. The light stays red, but that is all. No activity from the screen. I have read the phone is "hard bricked" and that I basically need to buy a new phone. I hope that is not the case. Any help is much appreciated. Sorry if this is a repeat post, but after hours of research and no specific answers I felt this what the only way.
Thanks again!
My two suggestions...
1. Hold up (or was it down?) volume, home and power all at the same time. Until you get a reaction. Then figure it out from there
2. Your phone is done for.. Find out where the closest att service center is and say your phone screwed up during an update of theirs. Or just say your phone stopped working and hope for the best
A main question is, does your computer recognize your phone at all?

Thank you for the response. I tired 1 a hundred times and no luck. 2 is my next step tomorrow. BUT the weird thing, is if i pull the battery and plug it in the red charge light shows red. Also, having a PC the computer does the beep as if you plugged in something via USB. This i just recently discovered. Although i really dont think it matters. I also tried making a jig, no luck either. Most likely fail on my end with that.
At this point in time I think the best bet will be the ATT store. Unless someone has another solution, that is the only way I see it being fixed. Gotta read the details when you mess around with this stuff. Now I am paying the price.

My volume down button gets stuck into the frame, (must press the button down then up forward into the screen) its really not that big a deal ,Though am just curious of your opinion.
Tomorrow thinking of exchange since am in the 14-day return period.
This might proceed to get worse or what do you think?
I understand dirt can build up and this may cause an issue.

Hey guys quick question. I bought my HTC One from a "premium retailer" at BJS was wandering if anyone knows if i call verizon customer support if they would send me a new one? Currently its too late to call them,
aswell.. an official verizon store said (when i went earlier) they cannot exchange for it is a different retailer.

as long as you pay for the insurance/ warranty package it won't matter.
I have the warranty 'will give them a call early this morning.
Thank you
So i called verizon this morning amd they weren't' able to send me a replacement, I ended up going to the store and they replaced it with no pleasure at all saying nothing was wrong with it
Anyways i got my new set and before i set it up i checked it carefully and what i saw was uptop there was a much longer gap which ive seen on these fourms and thats pretty normal, was more concerned on the volume button.
Anyhow since i got the replacement it seems more slow and jittery (owell) and now ive noticed .. if you would check the pic.. anyone else have this? its hidden light bleed can only see on a deep slant
doubt my last device had this issue but curious how common this hidden error is.
EDIT:: feel like i got the prototype
this screen issue was bothering me and now they are sending me another

I work at a premium and if you have an issue with your phone we swap it out and we get our money back from where we get our phones. we get our phones from hundreds of different online retailers including Verizon direct. the faster we get rid of our phones the better and there is a period where we can return it and get a refund. depending on the vendor there is different time periods we even mark them from the date we get them and that's what we sell first. This phone has not been out that long and that retailer blows for giving you an issue 4g would never do that. Returning is all together is another issue restocking fees apply even at Verizon direct.

you actually check all your phones for light bleed? You will never be happy with your electronics then.
why you gettin at me? im very happy with electronics and this device im on specifically. if the new one turns out to be less attractive im sending it back and will live with what i got. no problem here...
dont you think that pic is great too? for other people who pass by and can check their device? many wouldnt ever notice it.

I think his point is people who look for silly imperfections are pessimists and will only look at half empty scenarios. Nothing is perfect.

exactly. Imagine if people could swap out their cars for any perceived flaws. These things are made in a factory run through an assembly line. Some variance is considered normal. There is no such thing as a perfect electronic device.
See the usb off centered thread...
first phone volume rocker wasn't working which is an understandble replacement..
and you bashing my thread , well you have your opinion and i type agree to an extent but for people thinking of buying the phone (in any scenario) would know what to expect.
this is what forums are about, complete knowledge and growing, its good to know the known flaws
ill post up tomorrow will see if this next phone has this hidden light bleed,

have you thought about calling HTC for a repair?
noway
sending anything in for repair
well ive received the replacement and although everything seems fine like there is no bleed anywhere, but has more gap upto'
seems in good condition, only complain would be that the power button set
is actually flush with the board
pros on replacement : louder/fuller sound -no Ii ght bleed, scrren seems more vivid/pronounced.
cons on replacement - power button and its refurbished phone
pros on original device, reliable
cons on original device, light bleed, alliuminum on left side isnt sunck in
conclusion , not exchanging keeping what i have
