Yesterday just out of nowhere my power button broke. Doesn't do anything. Called T-Mobile and they are sending me out a replacement. Mad cause I paid full price for my phone. Never dropped or any water damage. Anyone else have this problem? Or even where the button gets stuck? Also anyone receive a replacement device yet and how are they? Was it a refurbished or brand new?

Can i flash roms without my volume buttons. Somehow they broke. The click part is snapped or something im not sure. Can i change roms SAFELY without the use of my volume buttons. Thanks, or even better, i have a bad esn htc hero, i opened both phones and htc uses the same volume buttons for both phones or at least it appears to. Can i switch these easily, is it possible, whats my best bet
Yes, you can flash safely. ROM Manager is your best bet. you're going to want to get that fixed very soon, though. RM can't flash everything.

Well from what I was told it cant be fixed. Its connected to the mother board. A sprint tech messef mine up when they replaced the screen. They ordered a replacement phone but I didnt give up and he wad able to fix it. It wasnt broke but it wad bent.
If it would have been broken I would have a diff evo know.

If there is no physical damage (i.e. scratches, dents, water damage) then it will be covered under warranty. take it to an Authorized Sprint Repair Center.
It's been opened and guy swapped with a perfect condition evo physical housing...I'm looking for a paid for repair or self repair

The volume button itself is simple to change, once you remove the six screws on the back and take it off it just pops right out, same with the power button.
No the plastic tabs on the metal clips on the motherboard...not the actual volume rocker

i think your sol your gonna need to get a new phone
wow really, this is retarded, some tech at a sprint store cant swap or fix broken volume buttons. What do they do when this happens to people just throw new phones all over the place
I broke my first G2 after 6 months of use. Its rooted and everything and while it looks almost new with no physical defects the problem is that the screen won't display any color - just all pitch black backlight. So I called t-mobile and they are sending me a brand new g2 while I send my broken one to HTC for repair. Anyone been in the same situation as me? It's not like they would reprimand my new phone if they see that I rooted the broken G2

Who knows. I will say that I have never heard of anyone getting charged as long as there was no water damage. Please let us know how it goes.

Worked for tmobile. They may charge you a restocking fee if the phone is flagged once it's repaired.

Aha my friend had to pay cause he rooted his droid and forgot to put it back to stock

i broke the screen on my Desire z a while back and had to send it to HTC while it was rooted cause i couldnt do a factory reset on it without the screen being on... they fixed it and sent it right back to me with no issues...
my understanding is that the very first thing they do is do a factory reset on the phone just in case the issue is software related...
so as long as u didnt go S-OFF i think you will be fine... make sure to let us know wt happens once u find out...
3 month bump: T-mobile didn't find out anything so I'm good, got a brand new rooted phone. S-off and everything; the screen just didn't work. I wonder what the person who fixed it was thinking....
I just recently came to own this tablet used from a friend who said if I can fix it then it's mine... Well after a full night of charging I got the power button and the blue light comes on and that's it... Screen stays off. I'll Ashley touch the home button which will sometimes light up but the screen still the same... Please help

Its in apx mode, full on brick. Needs a new motherboard or repaired by Acer.
The person who I got it from advised it has already had its motherboards replaced by acer... I don't believe they tried to root or flash anything... It belong to a middle-aged wife... Is there anything that could have caused this

Read through the brick thread, its exactly what happened to yours. In short, Acer uses a faulty memory module and it dies at random. Some say even out of warranty it may be possible to get Acer to repair it, the case needs elevated, but as you didn't originally purchase it, that wouldn't be particularly ethical, but worth a try if you want.
I have problems with my bluetooth headphones. It will connect and I can hear music for about 1 minute then it stops, my phone becomes unresponsive then it will usually reboot but get stuck. I usually have to pull the battery to restart.
I'm curious if there is something that I have flashed in the past to cause this.
The headphones work fine on my wifes 4g touch and my galaxy tablet as well.
I've even unrooted and went back to stock but still no luck.

Make sure all the screws in the back of the phone are very tight. If one is loose you may have a bad antenna connection.
I checked all the screws, they are all tight.

I'm wondering if I were to switch the motherboard out with a phone that has a bad ESN will that affect this phone?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
The ESN follows the board unless you were to do that which we do not talk about on this board...
Hint
Hint.
Interesting, I didnt have that in mind, but may be worth a try. I saw some cheap S2's on ebay with bad ESN's. I'm just interested in getting my bluetooth working. I removed my motherboard last night just to see if I could see anything work visually. I already sent my phone to Samsung but they said it was OOW for having a cracked screen. The wanted to charge $160 to fix it.

You can get used E4GTs all day long for under $100 in good condition on Craigslist where I am. I usually see them running $50-$75, but I paid $30 for the last one I bought.
I would suggest buying a new one, and selling the defective one on eBay for parts. If the shell is in fair condition someone will buy it.
The other option, if you are not under contract, is to consider an upgrade to the s4. I have seen some $0-$50 prices so far this holiday season.
I have a couple problems with my m8 including dust under the screen, wiggly power button, my speaker on the bottom is slightly warped and not flush with the screen. My volume button is bent slightly, and my screen bulges slightly. Anyway, laundry list of problems aside, I want to RMA but I am uncertain of the process. How much do they scrutinize the phone for hardware issues or software tampering and what is the process for getting the replacement - do they require you to send the phone first and become phone-less for a while, or authorize my card for the full charge of the phone and I send back the old one after I get the new one? Will they accept my phone for rma after one month of having it? (I left the country for a month after getting it and obviously couldn't get a replacement). And finally, overall, is it an easy experience?

I have replaced 2 HTC One M8 with AT&T so far. Process is simple. They send you the replacement phone with an RMA sticker. You put your old phone into the same box, put the RMA sticker on the box and ship it off via USPS. I restored my phones with stock AT&T ROM, left recovery alone, s-off and have had no problems.

Just one more stupid question. How do I go about RMA'ing through att? I thought only HTC did replacements through warranty.

Just call AT&T, explain to them the problems you are having and request a replacement phone.

Don't put it in your original box or you won't get it back. Easiest thing to do is use htc's online chat. They will organise everything.
