Epic 4G Return

Trying to return my Epic 4G touch (LOS getting on my damn nerves!) and it's been 15-days since I've activated so Sprint is giving me a hard time about returning it. I do recall when I purchased it online and when I received it, it contained a letter stating I had 30-days to return it. Might have been a mistake on their part, but I'm trying to located that letter. Anyone else have that letter by chance??

It has been a, documented issue with the phone. Sprint makes their money on their network, not their phone. Go to the store you bought it, just be friendly and talk to the manager, they shouldn't make an issue out of a swap. If they don't approve the return, call tech support and speak to someone in the retention department. With a complete service cancel sprint will give you a hard time.

I am also getting the same bull**** runaround.
When I upgraded, the guy in the store didn't say anything about 14 days.
Thinking about taking this up with American Express and letting them deal with Sprint.

Looks like he's trying to return it...guess he has no faith a new phone would solve the LOS issues...

Good luck but I don't expect them to budge. The return policy changed to 14 days the same day this phone came out.

350 is a lot if they dont fix it and demand bill payment with no service. Some also have 250 deposits.

Not sure how they can argue when they ship the phone with a letter stating you have 30 days to return it. I know I received it, and apparently others have as well...

new policies went into effect in September....14 days....shooting themselves in the foot. So don't buy phones the 1st month of launch let issues be found and addressed.

LOL...excuse us for thinking Sprint did an adequate job with QA/QC of the phones before they sell them.

Has gotten better, in the QA/QC department, but in the past they have screwed me enough to know to wait at least a month. Even when I waited over a month for issues to show up in the EVO 3D I still fell into that signal trap, and ditched that phone for a Photon. I was hoping to sell the Photon for the Epic but was a day over 30 days.

I bought from sams club in release day, and they told me 14 days to return, and 30 days to exchange for another Sprint phone

Ive yet to hear about 30 days to exchange for another sprint phone. Where is that stated exactly?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

LetsTalk.com also told me I had 30 days for an exchange. It is their policy. 14 days is if you want to cancel service. I think each retailer can have their own policy when it comes to exchanges, guess Sprint only gives you 14 days for a return or an exchange.

How did it go op? Just curious if u got it returned. I'd be calling Sprint everyday. If your paper says 30 days I can't see hiw they can deny u your 30 days.

Moto Photon
I'm wanting to trade my Motorola Photon 4g for a Samsung Epic Touch. Anyone interested? I've had it just over a month and have had it in a case from day one. The screen is flawless and looks brand new! I have the box, orig charger, etc. PM me if interested.

If LOS is pissing you off, get the deodex ROM and flash stock without CWM. Hasn't given me any trouble.
If you still want to return it, say you are missing important phone calls and it is crucial for your work or family issues. They can't give you a hard time over a defect.

Just putting my two cents in I have both bought my photon and got a launch device for working at sprint of a gs2 andI must say I like my photon a lot better than my gs2 I thinkI am switching back today. Thre radio sucks in this phone slow and I always get errors web browsing where it just stops working, phone locks up and becomes un responsive quite often, and oh did I mention the radio blows. The screen has that bad yellowish tint on low brightness which I use a lot in white screens, and the battery life is no where near what I get on my photon. Just my two cents though.

Hmmm, never get errors while browsing on the SGS2 and the haven't had the phone lock up on me either. Either something wrong with your phone or some apps that are not playing nice as your problem seems pretty isolated.

Almost got the Verizon today

So I called Radio Shack today and the store manager told me I can come down and buy one. Drove there and she brings it from the back and proceeds to ring me up and activate the line (I didn't know it was micro sim card btw), She was having trouble activating my line so she called Verizon and they activated it for me. I turned on the phone, logged on to my google account and was using the phone to text and make a couple of calls. The whole time I thought she would remember she wasn't suppose to sell but no one even said anything UNTIL....continue reading
Here's the sad part. It comes time to pay for the phone and she tries to ring it up in Radio Shack system but it won't let her. She tries a couple more times and it still won't let her. Meanwhile I still have the phone in my hand and texting some friends. She proceeds to call another Radio Shack and that's when I knew the gig was up, cause I had called the same store earlier and they told me it wasn't for sale. So when she got off the phone with him, she proceeded to tell me it wasn't for sale yet and that she will hold it for me. She felt so bad and of course I was frustrated but she will be holding the phone for me until this coming sunday when *supposedly* it will go on sale. SO we shall see.
Playing with the phone it is still running 4.0.1, I should of click update to see if anything would of came through but the phone seems nice and can't wait till it drops.

welcome to the club, same thing happened to me Saturday. Supposedly a guy on androidforums got around the POS system today, and the manager just sold it to him with a written reciept lol , I can wait

That's why you carry cash, fake an emergency, and run out the door with it, slapping down the cash on your way out.
When she said she would hold the phone for you, I wouldst said, how about you put the money in an envelope and hold that for a few days.

They do, and I'm getting it, as well. The extra weight/thickness would be great.
Actually, currently having a Rent-a-Rezound, the *only* thing I like about the phone is the physical size/weight. The software is crap and eats battery like crazy, but the phone *feels* perfect.

according to the two guys that got them at best buy yesterday on ac they said they picked up the extended battery afterwords at vzw and comes with an extra door but you wont need it, it doesnt add any thickness to the phone

Is there a price

In Store purchasing

so, last i heard sprint was pushing back the in-store release date. Has anyone seen one in a store yet?

No I went an hr ago and they didn't even have any advertisement for it or even the test units or dummy units the guy said some time next week they will get em -_____-

went there a couple minutes ago, pushed back by about aweek :/

damn, i guess it doesn't matter much for me since my release date is the 1st of july. it better be ready by then.

I went by on Wednesday and the guy said it will be pushed back to next week, hopefully Monday.

Same here. I want to at least have time to mess around with it in the store before I get it.

Only a handful of stores got them in today, and they were supposedly LTE launch cities. The full release was pushed back to the 28th. I got mine in today, and all I can say is: EPIC.

Just wanted to update everyone on my visit to the Sprint store today. I went by the local Sprint store here earlier and I was also told that the release of the SGIII to them got pushed back. They told me that they could get them as early as next week, but there was a chance they would not get them until the 1st of July. At any rate, I went ahead and placed my order and got put on the waiting list. I was waiting patiently, yet anxiously, and expecting to hear the lady at the store tell me that I was like number 5 million to be on the list...LOL...Come to find out, I was only the 5th person to order one...which is good because that will mean I will get mine out of the first batch they get. Now I get to sit and impatiently wait...LOL
Cheers!

I went to the Sprint store today as well and they said they have to push it back because of Samsung not being able to meet up with the pre order demand. Then I pulled one of the reps over on the side and asked him if this has anything to do with Apple trying to sue Samsung for S-Voice. He replied, "Apple will do anything to delay the release of other phones."
So there is your reason for the delay ladies and gentlemen

Um, sorry but doubtful. A sprint store guy wouldnt know more than a vast internet full of info leakers. (including ISN). Right now theres no indication that Apple has anything to do with anything. People got their 16 gb'ers today, and all signs point to other shipments soon or in progress. This smells exactly what it is, a supply problem.

I went by my Sprint store today. They didn't have the phone, but they had cases for the phone for sale...

Sorry to disagree, but the consensus is that no stores, sprint or authoriized retailers, have gotten these in yet anywhere. If u know of any specific locations that have, however, of course I'd be interested to know.

[Q] Has anyone purchased the a GNex recently?

... from the Google Play store, to be precise. I bet they're now selling them with Jelly Bean preinstalled, right?
Has anyone here bought one of the newer ones? How's the performance?

bought mine from a local telco,come preloaded with Jellybean
so far its good no problems at all

Yes, so far so good its the best phone I've ever had
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus

I did
I bought one brand new recently from Amazon, came with ICS. You can't buy the GNex from the google store in the UK, only the Nexus 7. It's a superb phone; I've had a GS2, Motorola Defy, iPhone, Galaxy Note and this is SO much better than all of them. It's all the great bits of Android with the simplicity and clean look of iOS (but it actually does stuff). I quite liked what Motorola did with Android almost better than Samsung but there's a few good bits on touchwiz. There's no doubt in my mind though that plain Android is LOADS better.
I wish some other manufacturers offered pure Android phones. WHy don't they? I don't particularly want to root my phone and install custom firmware and I really like the GNex but it'd be nice to have a choice of handset...I feel like from now on if I want to stick with neutral Android (which I do!) I'll only ever have 1 choice of phone! Why can't HTC, Motorola or Asus make a neutral Android phone?

Yes
I bought mine just a few days ago, owned a SII but wanted pure Android the Nexus
is fast and sleek with JB glad i bought it.

I bought a 2nd one last week. Still comes with ICS but got updated within the first 30 minutes.

Purchased mine from the Google Play store a few days ago. Still had ICS on it, but I updated to JB immediately.

Same here but about a month ago.

Probably be a while before they come with JB. They're not huge sellers (I see people with S2s and S3s every time I go out in London but actually have never seen anybody with a Nexus) and it's doubtful that Google would open all the boxes to upgrade them...

I just got mine from the play store the other day. as others have stated came with ICS and was immediately able to upgrade to JB. performance is very good, although first thing I did was install CNA 3.5 and franco nightly kernel

I bought mine last week from the Play store, which stated that it comes with JB. The unit arrived Wednesday and had ICS. It immediately began downloading the JB update. A little irritating that they do that, but eh, it was over soon enough.

Petty to complain about paying $350 for something and finding out it wasn't what you paid for? Most people would complain if that's what they got on a $5 purchase...
Nonetheless, it's not a "I'm going to call Google and complain" type of complaint. It's more of a "buyer beware" issue. It's good to give the market feedback so people know what they can possibly expect.

Whether an ota or not its the same jb. It was what you paid for a gnex that is running the latest jb available from the carrier. There is nothing for a buyer to beware about. Jb capable doesn't mean preloaded. Should a waited a few weeks or a month longer it would be preloaded once old stock sells. Just to be clear I would be the first to complain if it said that and there was no ota.

There's absolutely a Buyer Beware issue. You (and many others on here) probably have reliable, fast internet. I don't. I, unfortunately, live in a very rural area with unreliable dialup. I tried a few times to update via an internet connection share, but it kept failing. Since I didn't want to load all my work onto it without first updating, I drove 35 miles to the nearest free wifi spot and sat for an hour to get it. All said and done, I'm out several hours, plus about $15 in fuel, and an evening doing that when I could have spent it doing any number of more meaningful things.
Now you may think "who cares?" Anyone else in the same situation, of course. Which is why I posted that information in a forum where someone had asked for our experiences. Because, to someone in my situation, that's pretty useful information.
I'm sorry I don't happen to be exactly like you. Everyone is different, and just because it is no big deal to you doesn't mean it's not a big deal to anyone else. I downplayed all that in my original post because it wasn't really relevant. It's enough to tell others "It doesn't come preloaded with JB the way they advertise it" or some such message.

I should probably add that they don't advertise it "JB ready" as you say, but rather (from the website):
OS
Jelly Bean (Android 4.1)
That's from the specs on the phone. Not "soon to be 4.1 with a minor update." Again, I think it's entirely okay to dislike lies in advertising.

Soon enough, or 35 mile drive and an hour wait? Are you just annoyed somebody disagreed with you so decided to make up a little story to make your complaint more valid?
Anyway, if you can't even download a 100MB update what's the point in having a smartphone anyway...do you have to drive another 35 miles every time there's a 10MB maps update? Sometimes where you live precludes you from having the latest technology. That's just how it is. My Dad can't get fast enough internet to stream Lovefilm or Netflix, but he just deals with it, he doesn't buy a Google TV box then start complaining about it.
There should be no buyer beware on this. Nobody thinks that as soon as software is released you'll immediately get it on all the sealed brand new units. It's a BIT dodgy to actually say 'it has JB on it right now' when it doesn't, but 'have JB' and 'will DL JB soon as you turn it on and connect'...is that really that much different? I get what you're saying but when you buy a brand new Windows 7 laptop you have to install updates as soon as you turn it on...not quite the same but I think you're being pedantic.

And no...I have no home internet or 4g I downloaded my ota over 3g.

It doesn't say anywhere it comes preloaded with jb either. Os says 4.1 Jellybean and it is running 4.1 Jellybean he assumed preloaded. "Assumptions are the mother of all fudge ups" paraphrased of course. So again no buyer beware issue. Assumption issue

Thanks for all the replies, guys. What I really wanted to know was if the newer ones available from the play store came preinstalled with JB. Guess not.
Furthermore, I also wanted to know if any of you people noticed THESE issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394358

So far so good. Great improvement over my iPhone 6 Plus. Iris scanner works flawlessly for me and I have glasses. Overall I'm in love. Just sensuous using it as my case and screen protector won't be here until tomorrow. I'm on AT&T btw.

I'm on sprint so hopefully tomorrow.

Who did you order from, I ordered from Samsung, and it seems I won't be receiving mines anytime soon.

The phone is absolutely gorgeous! I came from the iphone 6s+, the fit and finish is phenomenal. My case and screen protectors will be here tonight from Amazon Prime (same day delivery totally worth it), the only thing I dislike now about the samsung phones would be the "ok google" is not longer available for always on, and yes I know how to set it up I wish Samsung would have kept that feature like "Hey Siri" on the iphone 6s+.
It is going to take some getting used to as I have been away from Android for about 8 months rocking my iphone, but I have always tried out the new Samsung phones S6 edge plus S7 edge plus but I have always returned them and went back to the iphone so we will see with this phone if I keep it past the 14 days , but so far so good!!!

This exactly. Had the 6S and then went to an SE haha. When the Note arrives, it'll be twice the size. I've promised myself to at least keep the Note until the release of the iPhone 8, as it's supposed to be edge to edge display and ultra HD.. We'll see

Lmao I wouldn't even pick it up until I get a case and screen protector on it. I would just let it sit in the box and carry it around like that.

Haha I'm actually using it without a case but i left the stock "protector" on it. I am still waiting for the otterbox defender to be released so i don't have any plans on buying a case soon, i am temporarily using my mumu PS Vita pouch as a "case" to keep it in when I'm not using it as it has a very food material inside the prevents the device from getting scratched

That's awesome, i will go to the mall tomorrow to get a screen protector. Hopefully there will be some available locally (Philippines). At first i wss fixed on getting a TGSP for my note7 but after reading a lot of things about TGSP on "edge phones" i think I'll stick with the "plastic" ones for now.
Hopefully the defender will be released soon, i am honestly not that comfrotable using the phone without any protection as from the videos on YouTube, it can get scratched easily.

Actually pretty jealous of you all. I had mine preordered but accidentally hit the cancel button instead of save one day and had to start over. I was 55th yesterday, and 54th today/tonight, guessing I won't be getting it anytime soon haha.

That sucks, that happend to me once before. So i know the feeling haha

Coming from an HTC M9, love it.. I thought it was only going to be a small upgrade but it's a large step..

Don't feel too bad for yourself lol. You could be in my position:
I ordered the Black Onyx 2 minutes after midnight with a Sprint invite code that was given to me by Sprint. Was supposed to get the phone over a week ago. But they screwed up my order. Instead of Black Onyx they are sending me the Titanium... Which I dont want. They refused to cancel my order or to even change the order to the proper one. Stating that they were 'still trying to find my device in the warehouse'... I'm sitting here like "well good, then you can tell them to STOP trying to find it" but they wouldn't. Then when I was told it would ship by a specific day, it didn't. I paid an extra 50 dollars for next day shipping as well, but guess what? It JUST shipped yesterday at 8pm! And wont be here until tomorrow while I'm at work. So I basically paid 50 bucks to have my phone shipped the same day as what it would have been with free shipping... Ontop of that, Sprint put a restriction on my package! So I can't have UPS hold the package at their sorting facility for me to just come pick up like I always have to do. My 'UPS Driver' is cruel and won't take the time to go down my drive way to deliver packages. Sure the drive way is around a quarter mile long, but his excuse every time is "I can't find the house"... When the house is two stores, the ONLY two story house in the area, and can be seen over the tops of the trees from the road... But nope, he just won't come down the drive way to deliver. So since I have that restriction, I can't pick up my package like I normally have to do. So, I now have to call off from work so I can sit at the end of the drive way to wait for the UPS guy to show up... Then I have to take the phone into a Sprint Store to have them exchange it for the Black Onyx one... IF they even have it in stock... Because apparently the stores haven't even gotten their devices in yet. I talked to them yesterday when I tried to see if they could just hand over the proper phone and then I'd drop off my current phone and the incorrect Note 7 back to them. They said they would, but they don't have any devices in the store. So I really need to hope and pray they have a Black Onyx version that hasn't been purchased yet...
Getting this phone has been the worst experience of my life in regards to trying to buy a smartphone... My Note 5 was a breeze, and my S4 was as well. I just walked into the store 4 days before launch and was like "hey, I wanna buy the S4" and the sales guy walked outa the stock room with an S4 and sold it to me. I pre-ordered the Note 5 within minutes of them opening up pre-orders, and got the phone 3 days later, weeks before you could even buy them in a store. And now, they ask me if I want this phone weeks early, and I take them up on the offer, and presto... worst experience ever.

Hoping as well haha. I wasn't even planning on getting the phone until they said they'd give it early and at a discount. But guess that was just too good to be true D=
