Lost G2x?

Since the G2x sounds like it's on either back order or out of stock for the time being what happens to people under insurance?
Lets say I lose my phone today will I have to wait till they are back in stock?

lost phones you have to pay them a 200$ or 100$ deductible... yeah ... i forget wich one it was , and probably wait until theyre in stock, they will tell you to go to a tmobile store and get a loaner phone wich you have to leave a deposit for... tmobile insurance = useless worthless crap

They well probably send you a refurbished phone or a phone comparable to the G2x

nah its 130 under the insurance group asurion, my girl dropped her mytouch 4g and we went thru the whole process and tmobile said if u are insured thats what all new phones cost as a flat rate which isnt bad i guess for the g2x, but not good for the mytouch cuz its kinda old now, but....we werent sure if they sent out new ones or refurbs, we were getting told it could be both with insurance, so what she did instead of paying that 130 for the mytouch, she opened another line, and suspend the one she had for ten dollars a month... so she called tmobile and they said they were running that phone for free for a few days, so she actually went into store and got a free one, (mytouch) and just ended up giving my daughter madison the other line

Usually through insurance they will send you a new one depending on the damage. I think if you tell them you dropped it, the screen cracked but the phone still works they would most likely send you a refirb because they know you're battery and back cover are ok. Now if you drop the whole phone in the toilet then I think you get a new one in the box. Every insurance claim I've done was when I either lost the phone or once when it got ran over by a car and they sent me a brand new device. But I can see them sending a refirb if your claim only involves a cracked screen or something similar to that..but that's just a hunch since I've gotten a new one every time

I remember the days they send you a new phone.

[Q] Dropped my skyrocket!

ok so i just got my skyrocket about a week ago. And i dropped it and the chrome around the phone chipped pretty bad. I tried to go into today to say like the phone was laggy and stuff. Then the associate said just restart the phone. Then i asked her about what the insurance policy is and i asked about the chipped chrome and she told me to go to the AT&T service center and said they would swap it out. i went which is about like 30 min away from me and once i got there they said they wouldn't do it. Anybody know what i can do to replace it?

Brick it?

I wish I could like this! Even if you brick your phone they should look at it and deny your claim due to abuse. I would if I were the sales person. It's people like you who drive our prices up.

That, or just don't drop the thing to begin with.

You should have had a case from day 1. They will not replace a phone with serious visual defects unless the defects are from manufacturing. Also, bricking the phone will not do it either since it has been dropped. You're just gonna have to deal with it. Sorry.

Exactly we are talking about a gadget not war or chivalry.....we all make mistakes that's human nature and I'm not saying his reason is the best my rocket has taken some spills and it still works but I will say us middle class people work 5 maybe more days a week and should be cut some slack when it comes to things like this when big companies could care less I say we don't get enough from most big companies just enough for us not to leave. But this makes you a bad person ? Robin hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor but he still stole. There are rapists and killers you can talk to about honor.

if you have insurance through Asurion... then yes!
I dropped my HTC Aria off a balcony one night while enjoying some beverages and it broke into half a dozen pieces. I went online and filed a claim through Asurion's website. $50 later... I was sent a Samsung Infuse!
I was very happy... nice little upgrade for me!
Be careful, because if you file another claim within the same year... they will cancel your insurance and you will be SOL if it happens again... So only throw your phone at the wall once every year or so

I threw a phone against a wall once (never argue with a woman over the phone). I was ready to pay full price for a new phone (because i was stupid). Since i had insurance on the phone the ATT guy told me to file a claim and report it as lost/stolen.. I did it and paid my $50 deductible and got a replacement phone.
I don't recommend to anyone to do this but if you have the insurance you may as well use it..

G2X went for a swim with me on the 4th.....

My phone decided it wanted to go for a swim on the 4th and is dead. Tried bag of rice to no avail. I have the insurance and was given the choice of the HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2. Went with the Galaxy.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to everyone on this forum for the awesome ROM work and support over the last year or so. It's too bad we can't get the display drivers API from LG so we can get some ICS with working video love, but oh well.
Again, just want to thank everybody. I will now be hanging in the Galaxy S2 forums until my full discount comes into effect in February and I can get the S3.

Enjoy the GS2...

I called in and asked them what the replacement was. They said that the G2x is discontinued and not available as a replacement, so they gave me the option to choose between the SG2 and the HTC Sensation. When I said the SG2, they even gave me the option to choose between Black or White. I chose black.

Similar situation here. They apologized that the g2x wasn't available and offered me a Sensation. I played it off as I hadn't heard of that phone before and asked if she'd mind waiting a minute while I looked at the phone online. She said sure and that I should check out the GS2 as well, that was another alternative. I said I was familiar with that and chose it, opted for white

Well as I stated in other post I was needing a replacement so I called in. But they didn't offer me a different phone. They shipped out the same one. Its cool with me but weird how "its not available" but I got one

If you have insurance call them up tell them what happened and they will either offer you a different phone like gs2 or the same for that 100ish. I needed a new phone but they didn't offer me the gs2 they just sent me the same. But then again it was a free exchange so who knows

I had to pay too, said the phone was acting up, battery dropping quickly, had to pull battery constantly. I also told them that I stooped at my TMobile store and they suggested I call them.
I've had to pay in the past too, fire a charging port issue. I believe you always have to pay, no matter what happened. I received a refurbished phone, perfect condition.

Is Liquipel any good?

Is it worth getting? Has anyone experienced it? A wealthy friend of mine has decided to buy it for me, and if it works well, he's going to get it for his Skyrocket/S3. I'm the Guinea pig.
I also have spare batteries, should I send those in as well? Do I need to send my case in too?

meh. maybe if the phone cost you several hundred dollars and you plan on keeping it for another 2 years..... but not worth protecting the Charge IMHO.
i've never really been that hard pressed to use my phone in the shower. what concerns me is that they do NOT recommend that you test it but dunking it in water.... understandable, but still.

probably not - as it requires me to send my phone in to a company I don't know. despite their "tracking" system. even if I was there, I'm still not a fan of putting a foreign substance on my phone that could cause it to malfunction. basically, I do not see the reward outweighing the risk in this matter.

Nice... is it basically like a razr now?

I "tested" by pouring a water bottle cap full into the battery compartment...continues to function normally so I guess it works. Too much of a pansy to test more than that though.
Weird thing is, it tripped the water detection paper when I checked it later, at the time that I did it, the label didn't turn pink.

IMO, I would use Liquipel as something of a prevention for one of those "oh ****" moments. I wouldn't go out of my way to test it out as I'm guessing that the extent of it's protection is mainly to keep water out long enough for you to retrieve your phone. For free, I would get it if I had another phone to use in the meantime, or if I could get it done locally. But, I probably wouldn't pay for it unless I was planning on keeping my phone for 2+ years.

Mine is too but I think im going to wait till winter to upgrade. Big mistake last year when I upgraded in august... missed bionic by 3 weeks and if i had waited i would have a razr/nexus/rezound. Charge->razr/nexus/rezound is a way bigger upgrade than razr/nexus/rezound->gs3 (summer) in my opinion. Same with like droid x/droid 2 /fascinate (or whatever was the best back then I dont really know) -> charge, tb, revolution. Just added 4g (similar internals though).

Yeah, I'll be looking at the expected phones when I get closer. Problem is, I probably won't be able to get a winter phone since I'll be in college.
I still think my Charge was the best choice at the time I had to upgrade. I didn't have any time to wait since they were ending unlimited data.
