Reported my Phone Lost

But I actually dropped it and the screen is cracked but still works, if I turn off mobile networks, wipe data, factory reset, and only use google voice with wifi will sprint/asurion ever know I still have the phone or would they care since they have another $100 of my hard earned cash.
Theres a 3-5 business day backorder on evos, sucks cant swap it out for an epic, I hate radioshack so much.. same old song and dance.

Wait..why do you hate Radioshack?

believe or not when i owned a Palm Pre, the power button stopped working, there was a small crack on the side of the screen....even though the phone was still usable, i reported it lost/stolen to asurion and just kept on using it......until they sent me a new one the next day....i don't see any sense in paying $7/month, paying $100 deductible AND sending back your old phone so they can fix it and sell it again and make more money

I tried exchanging it the first time before i dropped it because of major light leakage and some old fart asshole was trying to charge me $99 Radioshack replacement bull**** where they send my phone in and have it fixed and then "replaced" or some scam like that.. told him going through insurance was a better deal because I actually get an Actual Replacement phone versus they glue my screen up better and send it back to me. Grump old ****s @ RS, Never buying anything from that place again, I'll go straight to the source.

Interesting, Im just using google voice for txt nothing else

Hmm...
Not to be all "morals based" or anything... but I guess if I was ever trying to mislead an insurance company, I sure as heck wouldn't post about it! They are all advanced and stuff and have figured out how to use the internet... They don't like it when people mislead them.

Depends.
If you have the insurance, you have a $100 deductible.
If not, you probably have to buy yourself a new phone.

i have insurance... well im evoless forever now guys mom wont pay..... smh

Have your misses pay. Determine which screen you need, then look on ebay or elsewhere. I've read it's not that difficult to replace.

First of all, to buy the parts would be almost $100 anyway, so there's no point to investing the time to fix it yourself (except maybe to save a FEW bucks). Second of all, if you have the insurance, I'm pretty sure there's no deductible for replacing the screen. The $100 should be for a stolen/lost/water damaged phone, or basically anything that can't be fixed, in which case they simply replace it. The screen is replaceable, and thus should not have a deductible. At least that's the way my local Sprint store explained it. Go to a Sprint store and find out for yourself. You may be pleasantly surprised.

What parts are needed for screen replacement? The screen I found is only 45.
Also can you add insurance to your phone after it breaks as long as they don't know?

Technically yes, but they might find it funny that just got insurance and now have a claim. But they will honor it still.

Are you sure about this I looked on Sprints site and they said you can get it within 30 days of purchasing your phone.

You have 30 days from the date you purchased the phone to apply for insurance. But FYI, if you dont have it now, dont add it then make a claim the next day. You need to wait at least a few weeks, or they will deny your claim.

That's the exactly point I was trying to make.

well there's a couple of things going on here
1) Yes, there is a $100 deductible if you have insurance. A couple of weeks ago it would've been fixed free of charge but, Sprint did a "revision" to the new TEP policy and they're no longer covered
2) It's about the same to fix the screen yourself and to have it replaced through insurance with deductible, give or take a couple of dollars.
3) You can add insurance after 30 days if you speak to a cool rep, and make the claim within days, again if you speak to a cool rep.
4) That sucks!!

[Q] Trash my Evo.....

Anybody have any ways to make my Evo faulty???? I'm trying to have it replaced and need a good way to have it replaced under the manufacture warranty. I know this sounds wrong but I am in a timeframe where I would be able to replace it with the S2, seeing that Sprint has the release set to late July early August. If this is "bad" question to ask I will drop the post if I start getting negative response..

Their only going to replace it with an EVO, you'll still have to buy the sg2. So sell the EVO and use that money to buy sg2
brought to you by the little voices in my head

If your within the 30 days, all you have to do is pay the $35 exchange fee, otherwise you have to buy one outright.

Same reason modding your car voids your dealer warranty, but is still legal. They don't want to fix your fk ups, but you can fix them yourself.

Dude just brick it. And I mean fully brick it where it won't turn on, charge, recognize usb or anything. This way the techs have no way of knowing It's rooted and the phone looks like its just faulty. I'm not telling you how to brick it though, you have to search the forums for that. Happy hunting

As to hacking your phone...I can hack my phone all I want as I own the hardware and a license for the software. The only thing that is illegal is changing the ESN on your phone.

A warranty is not law. A warranty is an agreement between two parties (you and Sprint or HTC) that says if there is a manufacturing defect in the phone, they will fix it or replace it within a specified timeframe, provided you follow some conditions set out in the warranty.
Just like cars...did you know if you put an aftermarket part on your vehicle and the vehicle malfunctions, the manufacturer can void your warranty since it isn't one of their parts, regardless if it caused the malfunction? That doesn't make it illegal to do it, it just means if your vehicle breaks, you're on your own.
Same with the phone.

I think we've covered the legalities of hacking your phone. As long as you aren't doing anything to obtain a service free that otherwise would be paid for you can do whatever you want. *cough* wireless tether *cough* (which is legal to have but not use lol)
As far as trashing it..... throw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Call in and say it was fried when you woke up.

[Q] Bricked S3 after failed ROM flash

Okay, so I previously have had Cyanogen Mod on my S3, last night I got a bit bored and said, what the heck, let's find something new, so then I found zMod, I downloaded it and was getting ready to flash it onto my phone, I then went into recovery and wiped my SD Card, factory reset, etc. Unfortunatly that wiped my .zip on my SD Card, so I used ADB t oget it back using adb push path\to\file /sdcard/ I then restarted my device and updated from zip, I then got some strange error like could not write, so I attempted to reboot my phone into recovery again, unfortunatly it never vibrated and the screen never turned on. Something strange though, if I plug it into my computer after turning it on (No vibration or screen on) it recognizes it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD"
Specifics:
OS: Windows 8 x64
CWM: I think it was version 6.something
Thanks for any help you can provide me, I have had the phone for 3-4 months, if worst comes to worst should I attempt to do a warranty claim with Samsung or Sprint?

Sounds like you flashed an international ROM, no fix for that except a JTAG as far as I am aware.

Yeah Zmod is an international zip.

So should I get someone to do a JTAG on my phone or would it be safer to attempt a warranty claim with Samsung?

So do I just tell them upfront what I did or do I say it shut down during an update or something? Also does that require I have some kind of replacement plan, or is it for anyone with a phone with them. Thanks, I should be more careful with these things, I should of probably looked into it a bit more.

Ok, I'm gonna jump in here before this thread gets out of hand (seen it happen to the last 3 threads like this one)
First of, you've had the phone for a couple (3-4) months. Sprint's warranty covers only 15 days, if I recall correctly. Taking it back to the store will do nothing for you.
If you have TEP, then you can claim this on that, but you'll have to pay the $150 deductible. It's pricey but they'll get you a new phone the next day. A lot of people here on xda will recommend that. But there are also people on here that say that claims like this only drive up deductibles for the rest of us. I'll get into that later.
Last thing you can do is a JTAG repair. There are companies that do it for $60, but they take 3-5 business days. Just do a Google search for "JTAG repair S3" and you see it. It's the thing I would recommend, and I'll say why.
By flashing roms, mods, and kernels, we're voiding our warranty. No ifs ands or buts. We need to take responsibility for our mistakes and pay whatever price it is for them. By trying to return it to Sprint, you're basically pushing the cost of your mistake onto them, who then have to push it onto the rest of us. I remember when Sprint's TEP was only a $50 deductible for smartphones, not $150. This price increase is increased mostly due to claims like yours (and increased phone prices, but not as much as you'd think).
I think everyone here would say it's best to learn from our mistakes. In my opinion, the best way to do that is to actually pay the price for them. Pushing that price onto others just teaches us that we can avoid the consequences of our actions.
This is not a personal attack, just my thoughts on the matter. And in a few hours there will be much more people posting less polite responses than mine, so just a heads up.
Ok, end of rant.

First off the 15 day warranty will terminate your contract early and they take you phone away and that's not what were talking about anyway. Because sprint WILL replace your phone no matter how old it is you just have to pay $35 unless of course it has physical damage, cracked screen, broken charger port etc...
Second the TEP covers software and battery issues you ONLY need to pay 150 if its physically damaged and that's the ONLY reason you make a claim otherwise if you have TEP and bricked your phone all they need to do is verify the phone won't boot and they will replace it the next day. Many people are confused about these two things but I know this cuz I replaced my phone many times lol I have bad luck with sprint phones -_-
Third I would only recommend JTAG if sprint denied you or charging you more because it has physical damage and your willing to not have your phone for about a week. In my opinion that would be my last option but chances are sprint will replace your phone for $35 its theyre policy

Learn a valuable lesson if something is in the Sprint Development section it's for Sprint, if it's in the Verizon Development section it's for Verizon products if it's in the International section it's for International devices.
That's why there are different sections on xda for different devices, different manufacturer and different carriers. If you would have read a little more there are usually 4 or 5 of these threads a week where someone bricked their phone flashing an international rom but had no problem finding the right section when they broke it.
I'm pretty sure this thread will be locked soon enough. But welcome to flashing 101, rule #1 if your on a Sprint variant stick to the threads that say Sprint Development.

Actually I found zMod from CNet, I didn't notice that it was in the international forum until after I had posted this topic.

Battery Expansion and Screen

My screen is buckling, and when I asked the Sprint Store people, they claim it's from charging too long.
I've never had a device do this, so I never thought about it, but they showed me several devices they have on display that are doing the same thing.
Sucks.
I want to get another phone, but I'm on contract until May 2018.
Only then can I get another phone with an installment plan from Sprint. Another way these companies screw us.

No one screwed you, you singed the contract on your own...
Why people still sign contracts for phones? I understand for business but I really don't think it's that much cheaper on the long run.
I'm sorry, I just had to get it out of my head

What?
The contract I signed allowed for a new upgraded phone every two years.
Since this phone, the HTC 10, they changed it.
That's what I'm talking about.
Maybe whatever is talking in your head needs to be looked at.

Force them to repair it by letter. A swollen battery can blow up bad and could burn down your house or burn you.
If not contact a lawyer and ask for advice.
And second dont believe everything what these honkey tonk sellers tell you. Most or them dont even finished school and think they are smart.
I could tell you storys...
