Hello,
I have just switched over to T-Mobile and received my Desire today
I never got offered insurance so think it would be a good idea to take it out as i will soon be messing about with custom roms and stuff.
I see on their website you can get insurance through fonesafe but in a paragraph it says this....
* Note. With some of our higher value devices (e.g. those with PC functions), it will only be possible to take out insurance through T-Mobile directly at the time of your purchase/upgrade.
I take it i need to contact T-Mobile for insurance?
Cheers.
Yeah, contact t-mobile direct. But taking the insurance out for messing with the roms is pointless as if you change to anything other than the t-mobile official roms it will invalidate your warrenty and then you wont be able to send it back because of bricking the device.

Yeah, but i will probably loose my phone if anything like that happened
Cheers.
yeah the only way to sort it is if someone steals if from you or you loose it after bricking it. Heck, what a coincidence! But deffinetly not condoning insurance fraud
I have an original EVO (bought day one) and I can actually upgrade for cheap but i have a broken phone now.
Glass is a mess and was wanting to turn it in to Ins.
It is rooted and I was wondering if they are still getting picky if you turn in a rooted phone for a claim!!
IF SO?... can I use this method to UNROOT before sending it off?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900875
just make the claim, don't tell them it is rooted. they are not going to check. besides it is your to root or not. just don't volunteer that info.
Upgrading your phone and claiming insurance for it since it is broken are 2 different things. You can go to store and upgrade if you are eligible, no matter the condition of the phone. If it is broken, smashed, lost, stolen, then you can claim it and get a replacement model of the broken phone.
I hope this helps.

WOW, THNX GUYS!!!!
That was big help!!
Yea, insurance and warranty are two different things. With the warranty, you should be unrooted, as they can void it if they find you are rooted. For insurance, they don't care about anything, as long as you pay the deductible. It can be in a hundred pieces, rooted, bricked, etc, they dont care.
Greets all,
Just wanted to make some people aware in case no one wasnt about the HTC support with has left a extremely bad taste. Let me explain in short:
I bought the HOX international version and I live in the US, I wanted the quad core instead of the dual core. Long story short the screen got smashed cause I had lost my balance, so I called HTC and wanted to send it to them to replace the screen instead of me doing it. Mind you it has a 1 year warranty. So they took my info and then gave me an RMA to send it off, so far no problem. I packed up the phone sent it off to them and for a month I kept hearing when I would check up by calling, "we are waiting for the part to ship". I figured how hard is it to get a screen for their own phone. Well I got the phone call today and this is what they tell me:
We cant repair your phone because its an international phone based off the UK, and you are in the US, and because of the ITC court ruling in favor of Apple, we are not allowed to repair and send you back your phone. We have two options we can provide for you: 1) Replace the phone with a US ATT version unlocked, 2) or we can send the phone back to you unrepaired.
I told them why would I want a sub-version of the HOX with a dual core when I bought a quad core. I told them I'll buy the screen and send it to them and they can fix it, they said no they couldnt do that. So I told them, so your telling me that I have to buy the screen, replace it myself, which then voids my warranty instantly because I repaired it myself? They said basically yes.
So now I have to go find a complete screen replacement for the International HOX, replace it myself, and basically kill my warranty thanks to a BS ruling in favor of Apple. I cant believe instead of making a customer happy which was going to Pay for the repair, they wont touch it. I would have thought that it would be they couldnt sell the phone or something, not repair it!
So I would suggest to people who have the international phone in the US to beware of HTC, seems they wont fix the phone if its in the US.
It's always been like this with International phones. Warranties aren't valid in the U.S.. This is why you purchase 3rd party coverage like SquareTrade.
And, if you look near you, I am sure you can find cell phone shops that can repair your screen for well under $100. We have them here in Delaware.

Blame Apple. Sounds like HTC is jammed up by a court decision, not because they want to piss you off.
Before the rage begins, I think offering to swap it with an ATT unit was a really good gesture. HTC US deal with the ATT model, and it makes sense that's what they offer!

That isn't entirely true. HTC has a global warranty so it doesn't matter which country you are in.

I thought it was better than them just telling him that he was completely screwed. Sure it isn't the same phone but in some circumstances it is better than no phone.
The problem here is its not a warranty issue, this is a out of warranty repair, this is like buying a BMW over seas, bringing it here and then something goes wrong and you needed it fixed, BMW here says sorry we cant touch it cause Ford wont allow it. A global warranty or even a out of warranty repair shouldnt be held subject to Crapple. I understand they cant offer the phone here in the states, but repairing? you got to be kidding!
Plus I'm not out of a phone, I have a second HOX international I got it after this one got smashed. But now I have to fix the white one when it comes in and fix it myself, but its wrong that my fixing it voids all warranties, I'd even accept if it was a warranty repair and it couldnt be fixed and they offered the US version as an alternative dur to the restrictions, but this is like going to a service repair shop and they wont fix it. It's BS.

Actually, up until the Apple litigation, they did repair international phones in the U.S. (unlike Samsung). The problem is that they aren't permitted to reload the international s/w here in the U.S. because it contains features that have been banned. The U.S. XL for example doesn't have the traditional Android app picker; it's been replaced by a tabled menu. Anyone importing an international phone in to the U.S. really needs to fully investigate the down sides before making a purchase. And HTC U.S. deserves kudos for offering a One XL as replacement for a phone not even purchased in the U.S.
Dear Barry,
I understand you have some questions about the Bootloader unlock tool and the warranty for your device. I know how important it is for you to receive correct information and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Unlocking the bootloader means that you now have the ability to customize software on your device. Barry, please note that changing your bootloader can cause significant issues with your device and once you have unlocked your device, you have agreed to the disclaimer that states a change in warranty status such that in the event you render your device unusable, you are responsible for the recovery of your device, whether by repair or by other means. The final decision about what is covered under the warranty (and the cost) is up to the repair technicians if you have your device repaired.
As for the warranty, your device does have Global Warranty so if you ever need your device repaired, we can do so here in the United States. Again, the final decision about what is covered under the warranty (and the cost) is up to the repair technicians if you have your device repaired.
To set up a repair ticket, you will need to speak to the HTC America Warranty & Repair Center. Their contact information is 1-888-617-1113 from 8 A.M. – 8 P.M. ET, 7 days a week. Barry, they will be able to answer any questions you have about the warranty and repair process.
I hope this was helpful and that I have answered all of your questions. If you ever have any questions, Barry, please do not hesitate to send us another email. We will be more than happy to answer any questions you have about your device. Thank you for taking the time to contact us and I hope you have a great week!
Let me know if I have successfully answered your question, please click here to complete this.

If you want to keep the tegra one x i suggest sending it to a friend/family member in europe and get them to get it repaired.
Or, like I suggested, take it to a local cell phone repair shop. They can fix it fairly quickly, usually while you wait.
I'm confused why you are unhappy with HTC. You bought a phone from them and they offered you international warranty. In the meanwhile, the law of the land changed and the warranty is invalidated as a result. HTC recognizes this and offers you something within the purview of the law because you are their customer and want to keep you as their customer. I agree that this is actually a thumbs up for HTC to offer you an One XL in exchange for something which is not at all their fault.
Also you prolly are just another one caught up in the whole Apple, Samsung, HTC, etc patent-licensing bit and if the judgement was put out a little later, HTC would have repaired the phone. HTC warranty also states that you open the hardware without us being involved, we ain't gonna touch it, which IMHO is fair. Somebody buys my product, messes up the internals, bring it back to me to fix for free (or something close). So i do, since i promised on good faith and next thing i know, everybody around here doing exchanges.
The best thing is to send it outside the US where it can be fixed, hell, send it to India and i'll send it in for fixing and ship it back to you when its done. Or do what Baldilocks^^^ just suggested.

Got the name of the place in Deleware? And the problem with local shops is not all of them know what they are doing even if they say they do, remember alot just see dollar signs, so its hard to find a shop that actually knows what they are doing. Plus this being an international version, the other problem is finding the right screen that fits and is original, most will just take the cheapest they find and charge you double plus labor.

The problem here is very simple, again I understand about not selling the phone in the states based on the ruling, but when you already OWN the phone whether its before the ruling or after, should NOT apply to repairs. Hence my example of BMW and Ford. Repairs of a phone isnt the same thing as buying or HTC attempting to sell the phone in the US defying the ruling. Its basic customer support and relations.
Its the same for example, you unlock the bootloader and leave the stock rom, or you flash a custom rom, then you break your screen, you call HTC for an out of warranty repair, and they tell you they cant fix it cause you unlocked the bootloader when the cracked screen has nothing to do with the unlocked bootloader. Or if there is a know defect in the phone and they wont fix it because of the ruling, or cause its unlocked. Once a phone is purchased the ruling should have no effect or implications to repairs, and I havent read the ruling, but I would be HIGHLY surprised if the ruling did include repairs, I can almost guarantee the ruling has to do with selling in the states.

Sending it to someone outside of the US and having them call HTC for repair no will not void the warranty, because you are having HTC do the repairs. Opening it yourself and doing the repair yes will. But when you dont know anyone overseas to send it to you have no choice, its either have a useless phone, or fix it yourself, and how many are going to let a $550 phone thats fairly new sit that way?

You sent your "not for USA, not sold in USA" phone for an OUT of WARRANTY repair, yet they offered you an ATT replacement because of Legal issues. That is called GREAT customer service!
By the way, read the warranty booklet, it clearly states that warranty is applicable only in countries where the phone is sold in, and the Tegra3 HOX is NOT sold in USA.
If you still want to repair it through HTC, check from where you baught the phone, many UK online retailers (not sure of other EU) will gladly handle the repair of the phones they sell through HTC.
Hello XDA,
I have a VZ LG G4 Rooted and my phone recently got into a bootloop. S/N: 505xxxxxxxxxxx
However when I took it into the VZ store to get a replacement, they took a look behind the battery and found that it has "water damage." 100% have not dropped this into water, so I have no idea how this happened. I have added a photo that shows a representation that closely resembles the "water damage" indicator. They said they if they send it in for warranty and determine that it is "Water damage" they will charge my account $300 without even notifying me.
My phone has been working fine before it got into a boot loop and now I'm worried that if I send my phone into VZ, then they will charge me. However I've also read that humidity can also turn this marker red. So I'm not sure. Should I take my chances and send it in? What are your guys's thoughts?
Needless to say that you are out of luck on this one. When you rooted the phone that alone killed you. At the repair center they can tell if you rooted the phone. The first give way will be that your Bootloader will be unlocked, and yes they can tell. After they are the ones that made it, how could not be Abel to tell? But you have one option left that might work. And that is to do a hard reset on the phone. Best of luck. What ever you do don't send it in!!! Remember you rooted it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have VZ, so my bootloader is still locked. I've been lurking around the forums to read that root doesn't take away warranty -- unlocking bootloader does. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think root is the biggest issue I have. If I do, I can easily KDZ it back to stock.
OK but if the phone is rooted, then the Bootloader has to be unlocked how else can you root? And you are right on the root part. But once it is know that you rooted. They will not provide you with any help. But if can unroot the phone, which is relock the Bootloader. Then you can send the phone in to have it fixed.
The boatloader is locked on the vzw model. Root is achieved without bootloader unlocking.
The water damage is a deal breaker for carriers. They will most definitely charge you the 300.

Even though there is no actual water damage on my phone? Can I argue this with LG?
It doesn't have to be water damaged, it's just a moisture indicator so if you had any type of moisture, it will cause it to turn pink. Do you have insurance? How long ago did you buy the phone? If within 90 days and you bought by credit card, use the 90 day accidental damage/theft protection benefit, they will just send you a check for whatever you charged on the credit card. If you didn't buy by credit card and it's been more than 90 days, then you have to use insurance but note that Asurion will cancel your insurance if you file 2 claims within a 24 month period and the deductible you need to pay is $149. You can buy replacement moisture stickers on the internet and just replace it with a good one.

I do not have insurance.
I bought the phone around June so roughly 7 months ago.
Can you further explain your insurance note? Do I need to register insurance and pay the $149 deductible? Can I cancel the insurance right after I claim it once?

You need to have the insurance before you do the claim, otherwise it will be insurance fraud. You buy the insurance from Verizon Wireless either standalone or with extended warranty as the Total Equipment Plan.
See this for more info:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/insurance-and-equipment-protection/
You can cancel the insurance anytime you want. If you bought roughly 7 months ago, did you pay by credit card? If so, there is another way around that one too but you have to wait 5 months since the manufacturers warranty is 1 year, that is when the credit cards free extended 1 year warranty takes over and they will basically send you whatever you charged to the card.

So what's to stop me from getting insurance for one month, then using it, pay the deductible, receive the new phone, and cancel the insurance? Seems too good to be true?
I believe I paid by credit card. I believe I paid the initial amount by credit card (~40$?) and am now paying it monthly via plan. Does this make any difference? And even if I paid via credit card, will I get the full amount that I had paid so far or just the $40?
Nothing, it's no different than insurance on a landline. What you don't do is sign up for it and use it immediately. Sign up for it, wait like a week or something and then claim the phone died. The insurance claim is through Asurion, has nothing to do with Verizon Wireless. If you want to keep the phone, claim you lost it instead of accidental damage as it costs the same deductible. Only difference is if damaged, you need to ship the phone to the insurance company. It's not too good to be true. I've done the insurance with GTE MobileNet which became Verizon Wireless in 1997 or so when Motorola won't fix the phone and claimed liquid damage when they put something in it that made the phone look like it was floating oil with it so the dealer told me to take it to GTE where the technician said I dropped it. You can only do 2 claims within 24 months so even if you cancel and signed up again, they would still have your records of the claim so you still can only do 2 claims in that 24 months max. As for the installment plan, it does because the credit card is only liable for whatever you charged so you basically will get back $40 one time, not sure if they will let you do it monthly, that's one of the bad parts about the installment plan. There is another way to do it if you want to be sneaky. Call Verizon Wireless at 1-866-892-7957 which is Level 2 Tech Support, you do not need to go through Customer Service or Level 1 tech support before getting to Level 2. Tell them your phone has a problem, that it's in a bootloop.... They will ship you a Certified Like New Replacement Phone. At this point, take the water stickers from the phone they ship you and use it on your phone. Call Level 2 support again and say the phone they shipped you doesn't turn on, they will ship you another replacement. When you receive the replacement, ship the original replacement back using the prepaid USPS shipping label. Then test the new phone, if it's what you want and you are happen, then send your old phone back. If not, repeat the process until they ship you a good phone. As you didn't buy insurance or extended warranty, Verizon Wireless will provide warranty for the 1st 12 months from activation of the phone regardless where you bought the phone or if it's a gift. That way it will cost you $0 without having to buy insurance or extended warranty.
Did the replacement phone look brand new or was it refurbished? I dropped my phone today and the metal housing is all scratched and dented. The screen has some scratches but is not too bad that I need to replace it but I'm so OCD about my phones.
I got a brand new phone with the charger in retail packaging just like the original. Of course, HTC can repackage a refurbished phone into new retail packaging and I can't tell but I think it would be more time consuming for them, compared to picking a new phone and shipping it.
very frustrating...HTC won't send me a new phone first even though they advertise it.
They want me to mail my phone back first and wait for who knows long. This is false advertising!
What the heck?? It's clearly on their website! "Get a replacement next business day before you send us back your damaged phone. Requires a $599 credit card hold until HTC receives damaged phone." I'd keep calling or chatting until you get someone who knows what they're talking about.

i just got mine back from UHOH, they sent me back my actual phone after replacing the display. Didnt even remove my SOFF... how nice of them
I used Uh-Oh 11 days after receiving mine back in May. Cancel your service order and call back in, file an Uh-Oh claim. They are processed differently and it sounds like yours got started as a standard service claim.
With an Uh-Oh claim you will have 2 options depending on stock on hand: advanced replacement with the $599 CC hold (can ONLY be shipped to your CC billing address) or on site swap where you send in your phone and they send you a replacement within 2 business days.
In both cases you should get a new replacement.
The caveot is how you initiate the service claim. You must start out expressly saying its an Uh-Oh claim.
The reps are not the most knowledgeable people and can only operate within the options in the system. Trying to bully, intimidate or threaten your way around their limitations is pointless and will not net you any gain.
It is best to cancel your claim, call back in (not online chat, actually speak to them) refile your claim.

Little over 2 weeks. They quoted 7-10 business days
Has anyone replaced their phone through Uh-Oh and requested a different color than the one originally bought? I wonder if this is possible.
Just took advantage of Uh-oh protection here too. Sent in my phone on a Thursday, got it back the following Tuesday. Got a new phone (idk, it could be refurbished for all I know). All I know is that it is not the same phone... But I am glad because I am selling it in this case haha. Overall, great service!
Has anyone that used Uh Oh unlocked with HTCDEV? Or do most use Sunshine to avoid the warranty snafu's? I'm still trying to figure out what all I'll lose from the Warranty if I HTCDEV unlock.

Unlocking through HTCDev is covered in Uh-Oh. You would have to read the policies for using non-oem software to unlock but I don't see why using sunshine would be a problem if they accept water damaged phones that no longer work. But in terms of WARRANTY, sunshine is not covered whereas HTCDev unlock is.
If you have the opportunity to unlock through HTC, I don't why it would make sense paying for Sunshine when you can get the same thing from the oem for free with the warranty intact, saving hundreds on buying another phone.
