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.

Tmobile offers gps trackig if u have the premium insurance bundle. Why wouldn't you call Tmobile as soon as this happened?

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

yep...the basic one is like $5
so you should probably call them asap and ask them about tracking it and see how that works
and the deductible is $130..i just checked
Try loading prey on it. You can do it from your cpu and it will tell you where the phone is.

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

I'd recommend getting help from T-Mobile via their live chat service.

More efficient than calling.
Been on the phone with tmobile for the whole week. They wont help out. They basically sent me another Note 2 for free without me even asking them and now im stuck. I want to get rid of it, but its still blocked. Got TWO Note 2s for FREE in the same week. But neither work because of the block and bad storms knocking out towers in my area. FRUSTRATED!!!!
That just doesnt sound right to me. Tmobile isnt in the business of sending out free note2 with blocked imei number
...what are you really trying to do?

Didnt ask for the other note, they sent it to me because they tech support guy simply said, "its a paperweight" Now I have an extra note that blocked by tmobile

If T-mobile did not tell me to send the phone back than I would NOT send it back.... It sounds to me like they already know he has the extra phone but don't care, so sell it to someone for parts or whatever they want to do with it..... If you want to keep it then you have no options with T-mobile but you can get it activated on Straight Talk or Simple Mobile cause they don't tend to care or even know if it's disabled by T-mobile... I am NOT promoting fraud but if you are being honest I am giving you an honest answer...
"When you ASSUME you make an ass out of u and me" so let's not assume he is being fraudulent when he just asked a question...

ive been with T mobile for six years they never just sent me a phone and i was allowed to keep the other considering how much this one cost.. They were real anole about me sending back my vibrant a few years back and my sg3 a few months ago... this phone cost about as much as those two combined.. Be careful bro.. you may get a repackaging fee...
Yea to those who feel I'm being dishonest, please read the whole story and don't judge. I never asked for the second phone. Tmobile told me to keep it, quote "its basically a paperweight" they said that not me. Been on the phone with them all week long. They just want me to keep it, trash it, whatever I wanted to do to it.

I actually think the person he sells the phone to will find out its blacklisted, regardless of what carrier its on. At that point the new owner will do one of two things; call the police, or show back up with friends and ensure they get their money back. You have one working note, and an extra one that should be sent back because thats the honest thing to do. Why do you think otherwise. Go troll some of the lesser sites, I dont believe xda is the proper place for you to try and learn how to reprogram an IMEI in order to circumvent t-mobile block on your phone, as its concidered stolen at this point.

2.5 hours to get the wifes at best buy. The worker did everything rite but only could make calls. He seen problems and called att. Got the run around from 4 people and tried 3 sims cards. Finally what went down was a better att rep on phone realized that att itself changed my wife's plan from grandfather unlimited to 3gig limited and tried saying it was always that plan. Well its fixed and still grandfathered in. Best buys paper work had everything rite on it. Att just was trying to kick my wife's plan out and force a diff plan.
But $63 got her the phone.

Their "beast" system crashed , globally, while I was in there and was shut down for about 3 hours until the guy called att on his personal phone and did it that way, had to hand write my contract.
The beast system is their in-store upgrader which communicates with all major carriers but now I'm home playing with the phone it's a downgrade from the one I previously owned, the screen has a blue/ purpleish haze at the bottom of the screen.
I'm not happy at all with this one. I do plan on writing an email to best buy about their terrible service and considering the iPhone 5.
So much for saving $150..
Also after initially waiting in line for 40 minutes they told me I had no upgrade amid made me go to a att store close by and verified that I did then came back and waited another 3 hours till they figured this mess out

Agh, that sounds ROUGH!
I've herd BB called worst buy a bunch of times already. And your experience puts it into perspective.
I ordered a blue ATT 16GB from their website for a line on my family account that wasn't on a 2 year.
You woud have got the upper hand on price cause I payed $58.53. But you had a long wait in line.. And they gave you problems.
What you experienced is why I avoid Black friday, and only go to the store if Absolutely necessary.
I must say, calling ATT or Best buy on a Sunday is the worst way to spend your day.
I wanted to verify with ATT that they knew what was going on, and to make the note on my account
And Just wanted to make sure that Best buy wasn't going to pre-activate the line, or send a text to the phone number. (its a gift)
So i was reading about the kies 4.1.1 jb update and I noticed all the diferentes in the camera filters.
No this current phone does not have those extra options where as the old s3 I had bought and returned a few months ago, and did have the extra options.
What gives??

IMO, if it ever get blacklisted, then technically it won't be able to get to work on either at&t or t-mo as it said, they are sharing banned IMEI device. will get 4g or not, depends on which network this phone will be used.

I wouldn't know what happens if you're going through T-Mobile but I assume you'll be fine if you're polite and explain you don't know what's going on, insist you've been with T-Mobile because of their excellent support if they make a big deal about it. Asurion the insurance company working with T-Mobile will take it anyways because they just fix it and that's it and resell it. And because you pay a monthly bill they're making money off of you regardless and you still have to pay a deductible.
But you SHOULD really return to stock.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 4
If they see that the phone is rooted, they'll just simply do nothing for you. That's why people say "your warranty is now void".
Do what is mentioned above or take your chances and hope the T-Mobile rep that is assisting you doesn't check to see if the phone is rooted or check the flash counter.

What's the problem with the battery?
I like the features I get with my stock build, but I'm considering a root for better control over my apps, (Greenify, permission control) so this thread seems like a relevant question.
Is Triangle Away and unrooting all it takes to make it appear that I haven't done anything?
The warranty issue is the only thing stopping me, it's saved me a bunch in the past...

If done in the correct order with no custom recovery or custom kernel, yes that should be all you have to do.

I rooted my phone once, but I will never do it again after what happened. Last year I rooted my GS3 and about a week later, my local T-Mobile store called my phone unexpectedly. The guy on the other end told me I was due for a price drop, but I would have to come into the T-Mobile store to sign the paperwork before it would take effect. 2 days later I stopped in to get the discount on my monthly payment. The T-Mobile employee said he would have to look at my phone just to verify that it was the correct serial number. He went into the back room and said he would be back in a few minutes. 10 minutes later, a police officer walks in the store and asks my name. I'm totally freaked out wondering what the deal is. He asks me to turn around a puts hand cuffs on me. The officer told me I was under arrested and being charged with "rooting a mobile device". I was booked and released, but I would watch what you do to your phone. Good luck.

Just be careful... The terms of my probation are to never visit XDA, so I'm really just telling what can happen.

Rooting a device isn't illegal. They can kiss my ring. Think about it, if it was illegal why are root apps allowed on Google Play? And also, why is XDA not been shut down?
Methinks something else happened there. Maybe you voided their warranty and tried getting a discount which may be against the rules. Or something. But I know for a fact this is legal. Unlocking is a different story however.
So my advice, root on my brothers it's the only damn freedom we have left here in America.
