Original headset - Nexus One Accessories

Does anyone want to sell me the headset that comes with the nexus one? Only if its unused! I just lost mine at the mall. Send me a PM.

Just call HTC support (or nexus one support, I can't remember) and they'll usually send you one out for free. Just tell em you lost it and they usually take care of you.

haha i just did and want $25 shipped.

You may want to call them today because I swear I literally got off the phone with them like 17 minutes ago and I called google they transfered me to HTC he has my address and shipped out fedex ground. I will have them by thursday.
This is the number I called 1-888-486-3987 (Nexus one Support)
-Have your IMEI number ready
-They verify some of your info
-Let them know your headset is MALFUNCTIONING
-They will transfer you to HTC support and they will get required info to ship!
Now You said you've lost yours, so that may be a different situation. My headset buttons weren't working so I still have a headset in hand however they are not working. That may be the difference. Please dont abuse this option HTC has given us to replace faulty equipment.

SIM Card Slot Pin Broken ):

Well I switched from an iPhone 4 to the Nexus S (Nexus S is better) but I used a micro-sim adaptor but when I took it out one day it took a pin with it. I called Samsung and they said they don't do repairs like that so where in Canada can I get this repaired? I would love any advice. Thanks!

Same crap happened to me. But I guess I got a little lucky cuz only half of the pin broke off, the other half I just bent up so it would touch the sim when it was put in. Worked for me. Idk if yours came off completely or partially like mine did

The person on the phone said as long as it's not physical damage they can fix it for free... which is ridiculous if you ask me because most people on this forum could fix any non-physical damage on the Nexus.
They told me to go to Rogers for some reason to get it repaired even though I said I got the phone as a gift and it was not from Rogers. I guess I'll try calling them again to see if I can get anyone more helpful.

Well after a long time of playing with it I manage to get the phone to read my sim by putting strips of tin foil on the contacts on the sim card. Disappoints me that I have to do this though and now the phone has no resale value.
I just got mine spoiled after returning from a holiday I've tried putting the copper thing back in place and slotting it back but it doesn't work. Now i have to wait till tomorrow to call Samsung support in hope that they will fix it if i pay money because my device has no warranty because it is from Australia and i'm using it in Singapore. Will they accept it to fix it if i pay for the repair?
And can anyone who used aluminium foil or anything to make it work post photos or videos on how to do it? I have no experience in soldering and stuff (15 years old) and i dont know how much foil to put there. Please help me!

Your post is kind of contradictory. You say they wont fix it for free. That suggests that YES they will fix it, but not for free. Which makes total sense, since you physically broke the phone yourself. That's not covered under warranty.
But then you go on to say they told you to talk to Rogers. Your post is very confusing.
Rogers is a carrier. If you have some sort of damage plan or replacement coverage they may help you. Otherwise, at best, they're just going to send it Samsung in the first place. More likely, they won't touch it.
Your options are to try to repair it yourself, try a local shop, or try Samsung again. I seriously doubt that they wouldn't repair it, for $$$.
Or get a 3rd party warranty. Although, that would be pretty unethical and possibly illegal, filing a claim for damage that occurred before you signed up for the plan.

Speaker problem?/How to backup files?

I was listening to music this morning and it suddenly stopped. I've checked everything and I think the speaker is broken. No sound comes out at all. Is the mt4g notorious for this problem? And should I get a replacement under htc or t-mobile?

Bump? Can someone at least tell me whether to go under HTC's warranty, or T-Mobiles monthly paid one?
Bump? This has got 300 views already, come on.
I dont think is a known issue, it will be easier to deal with tmobile. tmobile will send you a new one then you mail the bad one back. where as with htc youll have to mail it to them.

So there is a $130 deductible for the mytouch 4g with the PHP bundle. Would replacing a broken speaker go under that warranty, or would T-Mobile do it for free?
how old is it and did you buy it from tmobile
I've also had the speaker go out on me for my MT4G. I got it replaced under warranty through tmobile for free as I've had the phone for less than a year.
Go with T-mobile, even if you didn't buy it from them. As long as you are first owner, your fine. I was able to get my phone replaced for free and i DONT have insurance.

[Q] g2x replacement?

Hello, all.
I've recently broken my g2x beyond repair--physically that is. I've been using my girlfriend's g2x and before I contact t-mobile for a replacement (I have premium handset protection plan) I wondered if anyone had recently tried to replace their phone using the same method?
Two questions follow:
Was your phone replaced with another g2x, or a phone similar to it?
Was there an option to pay the difference for a phone upgrade?
If you go through Assurion, you need to call them and ask for a different model. We filed a claim online and got another G2x.
If you're going through T-Mobile, you have to get three replacements in six months before they'll offer a different model

I can confirm this mine broke a few months ago and online all they offered was g2x so I called and asked and they offered me a HTC oneS came brand new in box with new micro sim and I am loving it very stable.

Through assurion insurance had to pay the 130$ premium but well worth it to get away from the g2x.

Actually it wasn't...the thread has been talking about the insurance replacement not about the T-Mobile warranty exchange program...they are two completely different things.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I called asurion and filed a claim today.
They said they could only send out a different phone if the same model phone is not available; I didn't want to push the issue since I'd be getting a new phone anyway.
the deductible was $130
Didn't want to create a new thread so I'll post here. My G2X recently started sensing the headphones even when non are plugged in which doesn't allow me to call without using the speaker. I went to a T-Mobile store and the representative there, after checking if my phone has been rooted off-course, said that for $5 I will get a replacement in 2 days which is a "much better" phone. What I got in the mail is a G2, which is a) 6 months older b) has a smaller screen c) has a single core processor d) has a slower wireless modem - I can go on and on, but the point is it's not an equivalent phone. This was the first problem I had with my G2X in 1 year and 9 months of owning it, so by all means replace it with another one or something that is better. I am going back to t-mob today, but I am not holding my breath. I'll keep people posted on the results of my expedition. Any insight into this matter is greatly appreciated.
Keep is posted, interested in seeing what they do for you....of anything at all

maybe treat it as an honest mistake on their part at first. I'd be surprised if they stuck with the verdict that you deserve a G2. You didn't tell us what replacement plan you had or what warranty you were using to get it fixed. Also, usually the headphone issue can be fixed with compressed air or a straw brush or q-tip dipped in alcohol to clean off the contacts, which can register a headset when nothing is in there.
tell them you want your G2X back if nothing else. It's probably worth more with the headset issue than the G2 new.

Didn't get a chance to stop by yesterday, so we'll see what they say today. I am an electrical engineer so I can easily fix this issue, I just think if I pay $7.99(premium handset protection) I should be able to use it - especially since my wife and I have paid it for 2 phones for almost 2 years. I came straight to the store and the T- Mobile representative filed the claim for me - so since it was only $5 shipping I assume the replacement is direct from T-Mobile.
Well, as expected, the T-Mobile rap agreed that the G2 is inferior, called customer service to see what they can do and and they said - "too bad-so sad." After that, he said that the only thing he can recommend is calling customer loyalty(I'll try it but I am not holding my breath). So the bottom line is, T-Mobile stole $400 of my money over 2 years for 2 phones since the protection plan did absolutely nothing for me even when my device broke. I am sending the G2 back and that's that. TMobile offers the cheapest service, especially if I have 3 lines with unlimited data and a 10% discount I can get through work, so I really doubt I'll switch to something else.

Well, finally after 2 visits to the T-mobile store and contacting customer loyalty department twice - the first time I was promised I will get a replacement G2X - and the order was never filed - I got a nice shiny refurbished LG L9. It's not the greatest phone, but it sure as heck beats the G2 and is definitely better then the G2X. Not sure why this was so hard to do in the first place?
Glad you got a new rig man!!

Asurion insurance claim - typical?

My wife's S3 was run over. She called to file a claim and was told they are out of stock and that it could be 5-7 days before they have something to send her. They also said they could not offer a different phone, because nothing was shown in their system as a comparable replacement. So for now, she's stuck with nothing.
This seems pretty terrible. Is this typical? I'm definitely going to be looking for an alternative insurance option when this is done.
thats unacceptable.

you pay for a service, it should be executed properly

Just to add, I was talking to the Verizon manager in the call I reference above, and that manager refused to give me the name of their direct supervisor after basically telling me there was nothing that could be done on their end (except credit the account for days of service during which I'm waiting for the new phone). I am on hold with Asurion right now with a supervisor, but still being told nothing they can do to fix the situation.
Update: Asurion supervisor unable to help. Told them I'd be cancelling insurance on all 3 lines when this is resolved, posting about it on XDA, and submitting complaint to the BBB. Being transferred to the...CEO?
Definitely unacceptable, they are legally bind to replace you with an exact phone or comparable phone and note 2 is the only comparable phone to S3 unless they already have the s4, which I doubt.

Well they never mentioned the Note 2, just kept saying no S3 in stock and that there was nothing else comparable available as an option either. After that last transfer to the corporate office or something, I was again told the same thing but also offered the option to buy the S3 at a corporate Verizon store and get reimbursed minus deductible. So I took that offer and ultimately happy with that solution, but definitely not happy with the runaround and hassle.

For me, this is anything but typical. After this past weekend, I've filed four claims with them in the 3 years I've been their customer. Only once have they not had my device in stock, and the rep immediately suggested a comparable replacement. I know they don't always get the best reputation. However, I always get my claim filed fast with no hassle and the device always arrives very quickly.
Me and my GF both got replacement phones before the holidays. She broke hers and I cracked my screen. For both I told Asurion we lost them, cheaper fee and got phones the next day. Got to keep the extra parts too (batt door, batt). I would never tell them I broke the phone, they want the broken one back and its more expensive. Just pull the Sim and tell them u lost it. I use my old phone with the broken screen as a music player, and for WiFi. Screen still works its just cracked bad.

I thought about just reporting it missing, but phone was smashed enough that nothing was really usable. I also thought the deductible was the same regardless of damaged vs lost/stolen. At least that what it shows for me when I look up the deductible...

Did you file a claim online? Did they ask for any documentation or anything?
I ditched all insurance for both my wife and myself. I found that for $7/month and a deductible of $50-$100 I was way better off fixing the phone myself and dealing with it that way. Every experience I had with asurion when I did have them was a headache and the refurbished phones they replaced my phone with were always defective and needing another replacement. Replacement digitizer on my wife's Bionic was $30 with about 30 minutes of labor. Nothing compared to >$200 cost that would have come from asurion's "help".
The claims I've had with Asurion have usually been handled well. Even had an old droid incredible replaced with an incredible 2.
I had a claim on my sgs3 5 days after the release date because I dropped it snd the screen shattered. It was so new they had to send me a new one. Took 3 weeks!!!! I actually went and bought a new screen for it and had it working before I got my replacement.

Can't believe Verizon is doing this to me!

I am so pissed. Long story short. I ordered the s6 through Verizon, got the phone and it was great until the 10th day. I started having issues. So I told them and they said they'd send me out another. I told then I absolutely do not want a refurbished phone and they guaranteed me it would be a brand new one. Wtf do i get the next day? A refurbished piece of crap that had scratches all over when 3 different reps assured me they'd be sending me a new one. I called them back pissed.
So after hours of talking on the phone I get them to send me a brand new one that would come in the white box. They told me it would arrive on may 29th(which was 10 days away) because they were all on backorder waiting for the shipment from Samsung. So I've literally been calling every few days asking them what the update is and every time a diff rep just tells me that the order is placed and everything but it's still on backorder. This has happened 3+ times now.
It's been 3 weeks now and I just called again and told them this is it I've had enough and the guy tells me for some reason the order never processed because of some terms and conditions crap so he said he has to figure it out with his supervisor. I can't believe this seriously. Are the people at Verizon the dumbest individuals in the world or am I being toyed with here?

I haven't been impressed with Verizon customer service, either. The first phone I got was never activated, and when I called to get it activated, the rep just redid my order and sent me another phone lol. I had to reject the 2nd phone, and I finally spoke to someone that knew what they were talking about.
It seems as though 1 out of every 3 reps know their stuff, the rest have no clue.
I'm still waiting for my $100 port in credit, and I know it won't be on my 3rd billing cycle, so I'll have to call them again :/
Never even talked to a rep. did everything online. Ordered phone on Friday, arrived Sat, activated without doing much other than turning the phone on (SIM card was already installed). I didn't port my number until I checked out the phone and ported the number on Monday morning, took about 20 min and about 1/2 hour after that to get the SMS texting working right.
No communication with a rep at anytime.
Sat night when I realized I already had the latest build (was waiting for an OTA), I rooted the device with PingPongroot. Had to do it twice but it stuck and was very easy. never connected the phone to the computer (yet).

This is literally the only way to do it. Companies like VZ and Comcast intentionally provide sucky service so that you just give up because who wants to spend hours on the phone explaining your problem to people who are intentionally making it harder for you?
Well, they said they said they wouldn't send me out another new device. She said it would have to be a refurbished one this time so now I have to choose between one of these s6's or sell one of them and wait for something better to come along.

It looks like they delayed you just to be outside of the 14 day window. Anything outside that 14 day return policy can be replaced with a certified like new device. Is the home button that bad that you couldn't see living with it? Would a stiff home button eventually became loose also?

I exchanged one due to a very loose home button. It didn't register presses half the time and rattled bad. They are out there, the lemon s6s. They are far between but they do exist sadly

Yeah, pretty lame. I'm keeping the new gold one because the screen is much better. The home button doesn't rattle as much now. It's barely noticeable so I'm okay with it.

I will never get another phone phone Verizon, you can get the same phones from Best buy with no penalty for returns.
