[Q] repeat maybe...phantom keys? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I'm getting phantom keys that freeze my phones menu, home, ect. when my phone switches from 4G to 3G because of 4G signal loss. My battery isn't bloated. And I've tried going back to regular stock even but they don't go away. What could be the cause? Could it still be the battery? or is something wrong with my phone? Any help would be appreciated

Bad idea...
We don't know what version he is on. He could either be on GB ICS or JB...
I have a guide for JB that link is for ICS.

The phantom menu key press is a known issue that will allow you to get your device exchanged or repaired regardless of having TEP or being in warranty or not. Bring it into a Sprint repair location and they will either replace the LCD/TSP assembly (if they have the part) or arrange for a replacement device.

Not true. They will charge at least $50 for the service. Its the deductible.

Should I go back to complete unrooted stock before I go to a sprint store to have them checked it? It would be nice to have the screen replaced or get a new phone lol

Sorry, but I work at a Sprint ASC repair center. They created an issue ID that allows for free repair or replacement of the device. Unless you are a Sprint ASC tech and use eTicket, then you obviously aren't aware of the recent addition of this policy repair/exchange.

Well, like you said, it is a recent change.

i had 3 s3s that got hot 1 note with the black crush screen issue now they sent out another s3 you have 14 to 20 days to return each phone no matter what(no physical damage). tmobile calls it buyers remorse if you bring to a tmobile store and confirm the issue with them it will be on the computer for cust service to see so they dont have you go through the hard reset ect... if your past your 20 days they will send a refurbished phone if you have php.php is awsome, say next year your battery loses capacity or your phone starts acting up call they will send a replacement.

Phone stolen...

Phone stolen today.
I've suspended the service and tried to use plan b with no success.
I have insurance with tmo.
Is there any way I can locate it+how much will it be to replace via insurance claim?
:crying:
If you have insurance it shouldn't cost more than $40 to get a replacement.

Cops won't waste the resources for a phone that is not worth it.
Report it to T-Mobile and they will put the IMEI on a black list that it can never be used again...
I got a replacement via asurion
I'm not sure whether my stolen phone was imei blacklisted but they said it's now deactivated.
Actually pretty happy because my phone had tons of lines and a few scrapes+ scratched

They sent me a Blaze because apparently they didn't have any black s2 left...pretty dumb of them.
I think no apps can match 'find my iPhone' if in this situation ad i also have all version of iPhone.. once i try to locate n yes i found it back....
Samsung should have one of those..
Anyway, they shouldn't replaced to you the blaze i think... :banghead:

If the area you dropped it on was carpeted take a strip of duct tape and loop it around inside out so the sticky side with the glue is on the outside. Roll the tape all over the floor and hope something sticks.
If you can't find it, try going to a non corporate sprint store and see if they can help. At my store, they know the mods I do on my phones, so they will usually help me out if I need a small part.
