I have the Sprint insurance. I dropped my phone and shattered the screen, and the phone won't even turn on now. If I take it in to a Sprint repair center (aka the Sprint store) will they replace it? The Sprint live chat people said they will but I have to call it in to some number or file the claim online. I recall before getting one replaced at the store with a hardware issue. Is this not the case anymore?
The insurance is outsourced, which is why you have to send it off. The issue you had before could probably be fixed in store, as this one can not. Check out the Sprint explanation. It clears a lot up

Hmmm, not sure then. But I do know that when I was with Sprint, and even the insurance I have now with Boost, that it's a third party entity that you pay a deductible to, send your phone off too for repair, and they either fix it or replace it if it's beyond repair.

Usually pretty reasonable. Boost told me about a week. Sucks being without your phone. If you do send it off, my advice, buy a cheap 10 dollar burner and some minutes. That's what I did.

Yeah I'll do that if the store won't replace it. I'm optimistic since they did once before. I even made an appointment to make it easier on them. I'll be kinda pissed if they don't replace it though. Maybe if I ***** enough...

I would wait for the S4 with a 1.9ghz quad core processor. Just my humble opinion.
I have never used the insurance but I was thinking you have to pay around $100 to get a damaged phone replaced. I could be entirely wrong about that.

my galaxy s ii was stolen today at school and i was wondering if they will give me a new phone for free or will i have to pay full price again for a new one, I have insurance. Or can they like use the Satellite to track the phone down so they can give it back to me?
you will have to pay the deductible which is like $140 or something like that...
if you have the higher insurance it has remote tracking...i have never seen anyone go that route though and i would imagine the chances of recovering it are slim to none
If you call your number 69 times the phone will self combustion, causing severe 3rd degree Burns to the thief. Simply wait at the local ER and take the next burn victim to your local authorities.

the good thing about tracking through the tmobile insurance way is that they do it on their end right? its not reliant on an app that you downloaded...but i doubt that they will recover it though..its probably more if you left it somewhere, they could remind you of the area you were in or something
ive never used that method so im just guessing here

why not call tmobile and track it already? you already pay like an extra $2/month for it...and if its an even half-way decent method of tracking...it should be just as good if not better than most of the locator apps you can download since you are doing it through the carrier

Thinking of making a claim on mine for a messed up power button. SIII here I come... lol I can only wish
I just realized I qualified for an upgrade since april. I was thinking it was in augest.
Anyway, I wanna buy a new phone. I really don't want to sell my epic because I love it and I just want a new phone to keep on the side and not to actually use. So my number would stay on the epic and I would get a newer phone for my music and games and stuff. I don't think anyone would do this but I am lol I need my keyboard.
So I was thinking gs3 or epic touch.
But just incase I have to pay an amount of money that I don't have and I would have to give up my epic to get a newer phone would sprint buy this phone from me for a reasonable price? Like let's say $100?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I think Sprint will give your around $30-35 dollars.
You will get much more if you sell it online or some such.
You can use your upgrade to get a new Phone, probably around $200, and just not activate it, and then you can keep using your Epic.
Thanks said, if your Epic is in working order, and has a clean ESN, I would give you $100 for it.

After you activate a new/upgrade account, that phone must remain active on that line for 6 months. (might be 3) This is why I use GVoice. I have 4 lines and me and wifey trade up renewals with 2 of the lines.

Sprint doesn't allow buy backs of any of their devices which have dirty ESNS. Corporate retail employees who do this sort of thing can and will be subjected to disciplinary action of up to and including termination of employment. I know this personally from seeing about half a dozen of employees in our DM's market promoted to customer. You have to remember people that Sprint has a report on just about anything you do in RMS and are able to drill down to employee ID level.
They wanted to give me $60 for mine when I upgraded, but I decided to keep it and try selling it for a little more private.

Ok I know some of you are probably wondering what type of question is this lol.. Last night I had a few drinks and dropped my phone, now I have a cracked screen at the bottom right of the phone. Called my friend (works at sprint) he said he can't swap it out just because of the screen but told me if I brick it he can swap it out, all I have to do is blame the new ota update when I come in so his manager gives the approval. So what's the fastest way to get a BLOD? Would removing the wire while running a sfhub OC do it?? I just can't live with a cracked screen ima go crazy!!!

Someone is jealous they don't have a hook up at Sprint I see.. You'll get over it! And it's *your mistake* Not you're! You're = You are :thumbdown:
"Hook up" at sprint is not equal to the "right" thing to do... I don't think he was jealous as much as he was pointing out what you are attempting to do could be considered/is fraud... I'm not passing judgment on you but perhaps if you're accident prone you may want to consider adding insurance to the line, which is the route many of us around here take... additionally no one is forcing you to live with a broken screen, replacements can be found on eBay for reasonable prices and to change it it's just 9 Phillips head screws and 3 cables to unplug/ replug... not super hard to do... lastly I hope I didn't accidentally mispell anything in this reply as I wouldn't want to feel the wrath of the grammer nazi fraudster...

Yes, I'm jealous because you lack the intelligence to figure out something so trivial, I'm also jealous because "YOUS" to broke to pay to have a screen fixed.

"YOUR" absolutely right. Myself and others don't mind the cost of insurance going up because of false claims.
That's the problem with this world instead of holding people accountable for their actions, their stupidity is excused with acts such as these (eg. Ins cost goes up). Same concept as welfare. How many of us are ecstatic that our stolen tax dollars go to funding that?

Seems you have to, to be on XDA these days. I think that's why the mods have been cracking down like wardens.

Yep, I messed up.....long story, but wondering if phone is truly hard bricked, does sprint have a way to recover the phone? Or can they tell I was rooted?

We can't reject it for bricking it so...moot. unless you end up with an asshole tech, or one of the older ones that are stuck in their ways.

My notification light was solid blue and couldn't get into recovery or download mode. 3hrs later, now its a faded flashing blue light. Its been plugged into my charger for like 2 hrs. Is it possible my battery is just bad?

Probably not, just sounds bricked...what happened before this?
Plugging it into the charger if it doesn't turn on likely wouldn't do any good, as the phone technically needs to be "on" to charge the battery correctly. Even when off, the phone is still in a pseudo-on mode when plugged in.

Yup solid blue was when I bricked. Gave em the phone and they thought it was an LCD issue so they replaced the screen. Obviously no joy lol. So they ordered me a replacement and since I had TEP, it was at no charge.

I'm confused. Which ever devs version of jb you flashed that caused the brick isn't obligated to fix or replace your phone. why should Sprint?

You pay almost $100 a year for TEP, they replace it with a refurb, that's what insurance is for

Try doing something with your car that you're not suppose to do and see if insurance covers it.

Sorry man. But the rom has to be on external sd card. Its in the JB Lovers thread.

You can flash gapps from internal memory but not the ROM. At least that's how it worked for me.

This makes me smile if you were my customer, that would make my day.
Unfortunately, though, our M&P regarding rooted and ROMed phones has changed recently, and we do now have to cover hard bricks (provided they're not caused by liquid, physical damage, etc.). Doesn't make sense...but it is what it is.

Because you pay Sprint hundred(s) of dollars every month...the devs, while they accept donations for their hard work, do it for free.

no wonder why the world is in shambles. People aren't held account for "their" mistakes.

Next thing you know insurance will be $20 a month with $250 deductibles.

If you have the blue light of death and can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, then you can just go to a Sprint store and pay $35 to get a replacement, even if you don't have TEP. This is what I did when I was hit with the emmc superbrick bug back in February. They will probably give you a refurb though. Sometimes the techs can be uptight though so it may help to act dumb and claim you were accepting the FF18 OTA update when something happened to your phone.

Lol, you pay my company for cellular and data service. Not for the ability to do whatever you want. But it is what it is, we cover it.

I was going to say this. But, i give up.

lol wow okay most people learn from their mistakes. Doesn't matter what the tep covers you still pay hard earned money for it.. i'm a tech as well and yeah very rarely i reject exchange requests when I know the phone was bricked because of flashing. If it's at the end of the month i'll maybe reject it because of my AE rate but beginning of the month i'll help happily And you educate urself more after these silly mistakes. Sprint makes way more than enough money from new acts, so considering the cost for insurance, shouldnt be a problem. Deductibles and insurance cost is going up anyways for these new phones with a higher retail price of $550 and thats BS.
