HTC will replace sim/sd card cover for free! - HTC Inspire 4G

While removing my lower sim/sd card cover I ended up crushing it when I slid it off. Luckily I was able to bend it back and still use it. It sits inside a case so you do not see at all. I was so disgusted....
Anyway I call HTC support to order a new one to replace and they are shipping one to me for FREE!! The support gentleman was very helpful and was glad to help. As he was entering the order into his computer he advised that it is listed at no charge. Shipping and all!!! Just thought I would pass this own just in case it happens to any of you all.

There was another thread in one of the inspire forums about this. The thread also said some.members were able to get that and new battery doors for free.

It takes a lot of effort on this form to make a thread that's been covered. I mean, when you put in your thread title, it does a search for you!

Bad boys what u gon do when the search cops come for u, lmao, they are right but still hilarious to see them making it such a big deal lol
Sent from my Inspire 4G using tapatalk.

Go find something else better to do with your time!
Its just a general statement, I am not going to search every time I feel like I want to post something that I feel may help another member. Do you realize how many post are on this site. Its very easy to miss something. A lot of people or turned away from this site because people are hesitant to post here in fear of getting bashed.
Oh and I did do a "quick" search on sim/sd cover and didn't see anything without reading a few hours of post.

Yea your right!

Some people here are just flat rude for no reason. He made a post to try and help people. Not everyone saw the other post (I am one of them) and now I know if mine breaks I can get it fixed for free. Find something better to do then harass someone trying to help. It's not like he asked a question that has been answered 30000 times already.
Thanks for the post OP!

I hear you might even be able to get a free battery :3.

I at least wasn't harassing him. I saw the other thread and it's title was dealing with the battery.door. This one is dealing with.the sim cover. I only was telling him that other members.were getting both doors.

When I got my phone the sales associate told me the battery door may fall off- so if that happens they will replace it at the store for free. Also glad to know HTC will send replacement, but I hate waiting on the mail.. lol.

I agree with you that's why I got me the Nexus S 4G and dump T-Mobile and their bull mofos where giving me edge every 2 weeks since I got the SGS4G ... and never gave me my mail in rebate ... also they give more promotion power to crap phones like that Nokia. I think if I saw 1 ad for this phone it was a miracle ... but that's my beef with T-Mobile ... back to the phone I think it could have been great. But I'll again compare it to the Sega Dreamcast bad ass died young ...

Hey Mike.
Thank you for not posting this in the dev section.
Guys relax, if you aren't interested in buying the phone, don't respond.
Like mentioned already I would look at craigslist to sell the phone. Hit me up on twitter and let me know if its still for sale i will tweet it for you and see if there are any takers.
Everyone else, We are still just really waiting on some final mods within the CWM. Once that is all figured out then ROM's will come out.

This OP has created like 3-4 new threads, post root attempt. Regulars are attempting to help. It's not absorbing.
OP was advised yesterday to do some reading and learn a little bit of the basics (you know, stuff like, what is s-On, what is a bootloader) of the phone prior to rooting.
Responded that the stickied guide was too hard. Wanted people to "send him the root program." Went ahead and did anyway. Was referred to the faq of his rooting method, and *again* to mudknot's guide, where his questions would have been easily answered.
And now here we are, third new thread, asking for a personalized bail-out.
And he'll say I'm trolling, probably.
Bull****. This is ridiculous.

I did not know all this. In that case your right bull **** and laziness. I won't bother trying to help. Can we get a mod to close this thread and possibly give him a temp ban. So he has the time to read and learn what he is doing before he post again please.
And i apologize for my lack of knowledge on this op and his laziness.

I have pm'd a mod, OP I will help you, but keep it to this thread.
Thanks mud. I think he needs a good lesson though. Otherwise hell keep doing it. I understand it sucks when you mess up your phone. Took me 2 hours to root cause i had problems. Learn to use the search feature and Google. Do your research. I have only made post recently never asked a question ( today was my first post). Your not the only one that's had these problems which means the answers out there.

So. The other day. I dropped my phone in the toilet. My mytouch is life. Haha. It was 2 in the morning. And I couldn't find rice. And couldn't vacuum it out cause of my family sleeping. I waited til morning. Vacuumed it. Then bought rice and put it in there for 24 hours. Before. When I turned it on. It turned on. But the screen was black. Now. Everything is perfect.
Moral of the story. I don't think we need to bring out phones in the bathroom.. Unless you're pooping.. Haha.
Along with that. Anyone that will drop their phone in the toilet.. Like me.. Use rice!

Is this the development thread?? NO! So this chap can post pretty much whatever he likes according to some of the absolute crap i see on here and the response it yields so if he wants to talk about SGS2 users flaming then he can, if he wants a bloody thread about s-off and he wants to start rumours then he can, will some of you bitter, bitter people stop with your whining, it is actually annoying to watch you make those posts, the 2nd one on this thread for example ??? is there any need for it?

There is: Premium membership. I'd pay $5/mo not to have to sift through endless nonsense.
EDIT: Not that XDA offers one, but I think they should. And maybe not $5/mo, maybe something like $30/yr. or something -- a small measure, but it would prevent probably 75% of the posts that show up here from random asshats.

Elitism was probably a poor word choice for your argument, mate.
I mean, I don't mind chastising people for asking questions that have already been answered, really - even when it takes about 5 seconds of effort to just answer it again. But "elitist" is probably a bunch of internet addicts flipping their **** over the fact that someone DARED to violate the sacred holy rule that you don't dare ask a question twice... or thrice.... or.... three thousand times.
Guy 1: Hi Guys! Gee, when's CM coming out?
The Community: RAAAAAAAAAR! HULK SMASH! LOL U R TOO STUPID TO SERCH GOGLE WHAT A NOOB. COMMON GUYS LET'S GO BACK TO CLUBHOUSE
Mostly, I'm just fooling around. I want people to search first and not make stupid posts too.... but the thing is, I AM and elitist. The guy asking the innocent question - probably not so much.
Keep in mind that this forum's search feature SOMETIMES doesnt work. Ive seen many times that it was either down or claiming to have found no results when it knows damn well that there are results. Its pretty frustrating.

this is true, but had he even GONE to the dev thread, he would have seen 1 cm thread and 2 gb2.3.5 ASOP threads on the first page alone..."searching" doesnt always entitle usage of the search function, but just simply browsing the appropriate threads

I mean, I don't mind chastising people for asking questions that have already been answered, really - even when it takes about 5 seconds of effort to just answer it again. But "elitist" is probably a bunch of internet addicts flipping their **** over the fact that someone DARED to violate the sacred holy rule that you don't dare ask a question twice... or thrice.... or.... three thousand times.

Well said my friend. The unfortunate fact of the internet is that in every forum (without fail) there is a very small group of self righteous pricks that troll around looking for people to "yell" at. Instead of simply ignoring a thread like hundreds or even thousand of other members do, they claim to speak "for the community" and insist on making a big scene and being obnoxious. Clearly the less duplicate threads on a given board the better, but the effort some of these guys put into not actually answering (or helping) someone is astonishing.

STRIKE HIM DOWN!
Sorry, what were we talking about?
A simple google search would have resulted in a sufficient answer. No need to waste peoples time when they could have find the answer on their own.

this is a terrible fact of XDA these days, and while ignoring it is easy enough, there are LOTS of ppl who feel that this is their "home" turf, that must be defended at all cost (im not one of them )
but the bigger problem is new members who dont even read the rules or guidelines for using the forums, they just register, dump their Q's or demands and expect an easy answer, when the answer is sitting literally right in front of them.
i do repect what aspects of the "community" that are left here with some of the most amazing devs for anything that ive seen in a long time, their ingenuity and determination is second to none (and that includes OEM manufacturers )
having said all that, this thread is dead and delt with, and hopefully the OP now knows to do a just a *little* browsing before asking a question he might/should already know the answer to, unless he's a troll, in which case, back under the bridge with him
Wow. All the effort spent to put this brother on blast could have been spent helping him. Love the negativity you clowns present.

we did help him, and hopefully he learned something along the way. i consider "iron fist" the responsibilty of not just mods/admins, but all experienced forum goers.
and if you saw sensation forum before and just after the sensation came out, you would be mildly pestered with posts like this...im not saying were better than him at all, but i, like many others, had to learn the hard way when it came to the etiquette of XDA.
5 minutes of browsing (not even searching) could have avoided this fiasco of a thread, which i do admit im mildly ashamed to be continuing, but i digress, it may have seemed harsh, but it could have been A LOT worse
