So I bought a mytouch 4G from a guy on craigslist. I looked at the phone before purchasing and everything seemed to be working fine. There weren't any major scratches or anything so I went ahead with the deal. However I noticed later that day that there were some blue spots on my phone's screen. They would appear in the background whenever there was a black background or white background.
I eventually called HTC and they told me I could send the phone in and have they fix it under warranty. I sent it in and received it in about a week. I was looking forward to using my mytouch 4G again and everything looked fine when I booted it up. There weren't any more blue spots on the screen. However there was something else wrong with it, which was my phone wouldn't charge. Somehow HTC messed up the USB port and now the phone doesn't charge.
Once again I called HTC and they said they were sorry that had happened and I could send it in as soon as they got me a prepaid label. They told me it'd take a couple days to be sent to my email. So I waited a couple days and I got no prepaid label sent to my email. I called HTC again and they said they were sorry that I hadn't received my label and escalated my case to get my label sent out to me. They told me to call back in a couple more days if it didn't come in again. So I waited those couple of days and it still hadn't called in. So I called again and they said they were sorry and that I should get the label either later that day or by tomorrow.
Finally I got my label and I packaged my phone to ship out. I sent out my phone today and it'll be there by tomorrow. I'm curious as if anyone has every had an experience like mine where they had such a bad experience.
I'm surprised that it took me calling them at least 2 more times for them to send out a label that they said would take 3 days at latest. It took them at least a week, counting weekends, to send me that label. Also I don't like that I get my phone back from the repair department only to have them mess something crucial to my phone up.
Its hard when dealing with HTC directly. My experience with T-Mobile themselves has been great.
Sounds like HTC is taking note of Verizon's customer service.
Be happy they are honoring the warranty... I'm surprised they didn't make you deal with T-Mobile.

Sounds like the guy from office space, im a people person. Hahaha but just as long as they fix it and still under warranty. But what kind of email takes "days" to send? Weird
So my question ia that I just got this phone from tmobile customer care over the phone. I like everything on the device so far, except the speaker volume.So I want to take advantage of the twenty day guarantee. I want to try another unit. If I call them and tell them that I don't like this unit, will they send the other unit out first our do I have to send mines back first? If I have both units on hand, I can easily compare both and decide which one to keep.

Not my experience. I also ordered from TMO over the phone. After 5 days my Sensation died. Took it to a store and they refused to replace it, said I had to call it in. Called and they will only replace it after receiving mine. I even have to call them again after they've received it to arrange the replacement. It's going to take over a week to get the new one.
One other thing, there seems to be a difference in how they treat new accounts and upgrades. Since mine is an upgrade this is the only option I had.
Really pisses me off. There are several ways they could handle this better. Not good service at all.
Samnada you settled for less than good treatment man.
I was on day 12 of 14 and called in about the broken power button. They told me they'd send a new one out when I called in with the tracking number for the one I'm returning. I said fine - will they overnight it? They said they dont do that. I told them they overnighted the first one (2 day ground in a one day zone but their words). I told them I need a phone and I would be cancelling service if that's how it would work. She got with a supervisor and agreed to ship me one and that i'd return the other when I got the replacement or Id eat the cost of the second. She made sure to mention this was a special allowance for me and not general procedure.
2nd phone has a blue dot under the gorilla glass. Called in to see if I could ship both phones together back to Tmo. Thinking about cancelling service too. Not interested in doing this **** over and over. Guy was cool said I should have had return shipping slips in both boxes (I didnt) and that they'd reimburse me if I take my shipping receipt to a store. Also asked me to take the phone to a store to have them see in person whats wrong with it and note my account. Then he said theyd do the same ship and return after receipt of new phone w/ shipping reimbursement to my account via credit.
YMMV from rep to rep man - you may have to call back a few times to get satisfaction. I was surprised the woman I spoke to Wednesday helped me so much. Very cool. Guy I spoke with today was a Sensation owner and very cool too.

I did take it to a store when it first died to try a different battery in case that was the problem. They confirmed the phone was indeed dead, and noted that in my account. But he wouldn't swap for a new one unless I had purchased it at the store.
I was on the phone for nearly 2 hours, switched to 3 different people, and the best I could get was a $10 credit on the shipping to them. They'll overnight the new one , but not until they receive mine and I call them back to undo/redo my upgrade deal. I could get a loaner phone in the meantime, but it would have just been some cheapo deal which didn't interest me since I have my Vibrant.
Part of what bothers me about TMO is this horsetrading aspect where some people get great deals and others get zip, apparently depending on a roll of the dice and who you happen to get on the phone. Some CSR's are great and others sound like they're robotically reading from a script.
They're standard policy sucks. They need to change it. I shouldn't have to beg and plead and threaten to be treated like I'm a paying customer.
They could have overnighted the new phone to the store, have me turn in my dead one there, and verified the problem and the return. Done deal, and they would be out nothing more than they will now. They could also do just what you said, ship me one overnight and if I didn't return the bad one charge me full retail for both. Fine. But their standard policy seems designed to maximize frustration.
I'm considering all my options, but have to have an international phone, so that narrows the choices of carriers, and from what I've heard ATT is even worse.
If TMO has the best customer service it's no wonder cell phones are the source of the most consumer complaints.
I'm not sure if things have changed in the last 5-6 months but when me and my wife had multiple problems with our MT4G's I never had to send mine in first. As a matter of fact I had 6 out of 7 sent overnight free of charge. But on all of them I was told I had seven days to return them after I received the new one.
Maybe times have changed. I might be doing a exchange as well in the near future and I will see.
i actually am getting a replacement for mine on tuesday , i called it in today after all hell broke loose on my phone today ,they are sending me another unit and im sending them back mine , actually they gave me the option

Are you in the 14-day remorse period? They kept telling me it was because I'm doing an upgrade and I have to cancel/redo the deal to restart the 14-days on the new phone. I don't understand how people are reporting they've swapped Sensations 3 or 4 times. How is that being done? Am I the only one who's being treated this way?
The more I hear the more mad I get.

I'm good as far as it being replaced, it's just the process they're requiring of having to receive my phone before they ship me a new one that's absurd. Due to the holiday it's going to be next Friday at the earliest before I get a phone.
I'll start calling tomorrow to see if they can persuade me to stay a TMO customer.
Totally understand your gripes and they're legitimate. You shouldn't have to roll the dice for options that others get. I feel you on GSM too. I really don't want to go to ATT because I'd have to get an iPhone. I'm tired of reconfiguring phones already. If the next one is trash too I'm going back to my N1 and old contract. Wifi calling is sweet but not happy with the poor quality control.
By way of comparison, we went through a sordid version of this when the N1's rolled out, too. TMO didn't wanna touch'em, Google (who sold and shipped them out overnight) had no live support, and we had to rely on HTC. At the time, HTC's policy was (maybe still is?) only DOA phones would get immediate replacement at no additional charge. Any phone that worked, THEN failed was an 'in-warranty' replacement, and the only way to expedite it was to allow your credit card to be fully charged (although some report a $1 hold rather than a full charge) and THEN they would cross-ship. Otherwise, you had to ship the old unit BEFORE the new one shipped, and we had reports a call with a tracking number (as mentioned above) would also expedite a replacement shipment. I know waiting sucks, but unless it was bought IN a physical store, with their own return/replacement policies, 'it is what it is'. :|
Thanks for the input guys. I'll be calling them soon. They told me that I have a 20 day remorse period for some reason. Also, to the person having the issue of not bring able to return the phone to the store , It's not gonna happen. The rep told me straight up that the phone people and the store people are not together.

Another question: if they send me the other phone also, and I have a chance to compare both, would I be able to send the second unit back incase my first original unit is better? Or do I have to keep the second one?

um when i first got my htc sensation the power button was slanted and the screen was messed up and weird looking aou screen i called that same day to get a replacement got it in 2 days. I told the rep i have the tracking number in my hand which i did =] just went to ups.com got a tracking number and shipped it out tm while my replacement phone was coming. The downside is you will be charged twice =/ the first phone will be on your cc already then they will charge you again for the 2nd one.. thing sucks to wait 4 weeks for it to clear just remember when u drop off the package to ask for the receipt. Maybe i was just lucky huh?

This is because they are redoing your upgrade. Tell them you don't want to redo the upgrade, you just want a replacement.

They didn't give me a choice. They said this is how it's going to work. Send us your dead phone, once we get it give us a call and we'll redo your upgrade and send you a new phone. They said it was because I got the upgrade through Customer Retention. It's like dealing with the government.
I offered to let them take my CC # and bill me if I didn't return the phone if they would ship the new one right away and they refused.
Not sure how they decide who to punish. My credit rating is perfect. I've never given them a minutes problem in the past. Just seems totally arbitrary.
I called them with the UPS tracking # in order to get the $10 shipping credit, so they have that. They're going to ship me a new phone, so what's it to them if it's today or next Thursday? I just don't get it.
I'm 23, have terrible credit and constantly call in and complain. I've been a customer since I was 18 and in the way that matters, paying my bill, I've always been a good customer. TMobile has always shipped my replacements out first and then I mail mine back to them in the box they ship the replacement in to me.
One time, they shipped be a broken MT3GS as a replacement so I called in and yelled at them so they sent me a second replacement MT3GS so I had three phones, 2 of which belonged to TMobile, out at the same time. I complained about them shipping me a broken phone, the amount of problems on my phone, they tried to give me a motorola cliq2, I told them they were crazy and I got a 350 dollar discount and upgraded to the sensation on Launch Day. Great timing!
Just got off the phone with a much more helpful TMO CSR. Order for replacement phone has been placed, due to the holiday it will ship overnight on Tue, arrive here Wed. Wish I'd gotten her the first time.
Thanks for the encouragement to keep after them.
So any opinions on whether I would have to return my first unit after receiving the second one or just return the second one incase the first unit is better than the replacement unit?

Just bought a Samsung Infuse on Craigslist and everything appeared to work fine, but it gives the error "no sim card inserted". I have tried multiple sim cards, but the results are the same. I also tried a factory reset. I have attempted to have it replaced by att and they confirmed its still under warranty, but because my sim card has never registered in the phone they are giving me hassle over it.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to fix this issue? The phone looks so new its hard to believe it has such a bad issue. The only similar story I could find was trouble with new sim cards.
Any help would be HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know if this is helpful or not but that happened to me one time. I was in an area with no service at all. How is your typical signal?
I normally get a very strong 3g signal here, so I don't think thats it. Good idea tho
Eh it was worth a shot. Tell AT&T that you broke your SIM card during the insertion process?
Same thing happened to me. Got it off craigslist.
Brought it to AT&T warranty store and after jumping through millions of flaming hoops, the guy finally told me the phone's IMEI was "locked" to a certain number or plan or something for 6 months after the date of purchase; may 15th. He said the phone will on it's own be usable November 15th or 16th, ergo today or tomorrow; and if not to bring it in for a swap.
Good luck!
Oh man that sucks. Would totally make sense tho. Thanks for the info, I wonder if I could possibly unlock it or do anything to free it from that lock.

I tried unlocking with little success. My best guess for you is to contact AT&T service and ask when/where the phone was purchased, the guy was able to tell me it was from a best buy on may 15th with nothing but the IMEI number; that should give you an indication of when you could use yours. Of course there's also the chance there's just hardware damage, but the phone is under a 1 year warranty if it was new so you should be fine with that, continue to jump through ATT's hoops and you'll come out the other end some day

It's a better idea to use Samsung's warranty, because as long as it's under the one year warranty, Samsung will fix/replace it.
I checked it at the samsung website and confirmed its still under warranty. That will probably have to be the route i take. I am making a final attempt to get ATT to swap it tho cause they will send the replacement out rather than waiting for me to send this one in. Lets hope :/
Look for an AT&T warranty and repair center in your area, they can replace it in person on the spot.
I dont think i live near any unfortunately. I call att and the customer service reps really seem to understand the issue, but they have to transfer me to warranty to finish the process and everything goes to hell. They barely speak english and dont listen at all! So frustrating
If you do go to an ATT store and say hey, I want a new SIM card tthey will do it. I have had it done before. Just be nice, pick the guy that looks nerdy and doesn't like guidelines and shoot. I one had a guy who said that he would help me get unlimited data even a year and a half after they stopped it. They have good people there. Find them and ask them for a new one!

How can you use the warranty of you weren't the original buyer? I also bought mine off of craigslist but i thought you needed proof of payment to get any kind of warranty replacement...
Sent from my Samsung Infuse
I got to work and tried a 3 year old sim card since I saw a post that someones infuse only worked with old sims, but had no luck with that. I also went to ATT on lunch and they were pretty much useless. I made a final call to ATT warranty, and while he put me on hold for another 20 minutes, i took a hard look at my sim card holder and noticed the contacts looked a little odd.
I am assuming when the original owner yanked his out it pulled the contacts and mangled them a bit. I was able to bend them up with my fingernail and then jam my sim into the slot forcing the contacts back into place. Powered it on and it freaking worked! I'm thinking as long as i never remove my sim it should be fine. I'm sure its got a hell of a good connection on the sim now lol. Thanks for all the ideas and info guys. I gotta say the ATT warranty department is absolute garbage customer service too. Just wow.

So far I have been able to swap out an Atrix, and a Captivate that were still under warranty. As long as you have used the phone with your sim card on that number they wont even question you. My trouble with the warranty this time was partly because I was never able to register on their network with my sim, and partly because as it turns out the phone isnt even 30 days since originally purchased, so every call ended with them telling me to return it to radio shack.
Did my replacement order over the phone with Sprint customer support last Sunday 9/11. All I continue to get is emails stating my order is processing. I know others have handled their recall this way as well. Any updates for anyone? Hopefully we don't have to wait weeks when stores are getting them in. Only reason I did it this way is because my note 7 wasn't purchased directly from a sprint store.
Good Morning Dude!! I called a local Sprint Corp store yesterday as I wanted to swap out sooner than later. The Sprint Corp store told me they are only swapping devices that were purchased at a Corporate Store location. Hmmm.....I called the Sprint Telesales 800 line and talked to them. Sprint told me the same thing. Corporate stores are only swapping out devices that were purchased at a corporate location.
I contacted my local Sams club and they told me they would have replacement devices on Wednesday and I could swap at the Sams location I bought the phone from...which I plan on doing Wednesday.
Sprint said that I could refuse shipment on the device they send me and when they get the device back, they would cancel the telesales order.
Kind of a long drawn out process...but that's my plan. If I get the Telesales device prior to tomorrow late afternoon, obviously I'll keep the telesales device. But I don't see that happening.

Well the note 7 i got was a gift from my grandparents. They live out of state and got it at a third party sprint store so the two different sprint corp stores I went to to exchange wouldn't do it because they couldn't pull the order up. I don't know what else to do other then wait for my advance exchange order to ship from sprint themselves.

Didn't look it up or if he did, he didn't say anything. It can be replaced by calling Sprint as a last resort, but the sooner you call the better.

It is all BS. If my Note 7 did not work good i would be having a fit with them over this. Mine works good so i look at it as a loaner till a New one comes to swap for free. My 2 local sprint Corp stores both said they have none that they got a few in last week but swapped them out. And of course some sold them as new to new people when they're not supposed to. But anyway mine works but the point is it has been awhile now and if the phone gets a scratch or a crack then so be it since they're the ones forcing me to keep it since there is no way for me to give it back to them. Sure i could take it to the store and just wait but then i have to go back to a old phone till it comes out so screw that.

My exact sentiments, I tried stores and of course I could go back to best buy since that's where I bought it but I have a order for a replacement through sprint that they will mail me, so I will wait for that instead of this hit and miss nonsense other people are going through
Same here. My time bomb has performed flawlessly so far. I'll just keep using it until they send my replacement. Or it goes boom.
It is now Oct. 5th and still nothing from Sprint about my order shipping for my replacement Note 7. Anyone else received any updates?

Looking back through my emails, it looks like it was placed on the Sept 10th
I've already swapped my device. I'm having Bluetooth problems and am going to contact Sprint and ask them if I can swap my already swapped device for the one that is being delivered. They are expecting a specific serial number to be returned. Who know how that conversation will go....but it's worth a shot.
Got a text this morning with a tracking number and when I checked it, it says to be delivered today so I will be getting mine this afternoon.
Hi everyone.
So for the first time, I plumped for insurance. Because I am so paranoid about breaking that screen on my S8+.
I've never had it before (I had Apple Care on my iPhone) and am just curious as to your experiences of T-Mobile's plan. I was toying with going with Samsung's Premium Care because it says they deliver a replacement to your door, but the Tmobile guy convinced me to try theirs instead.
What I'm wondering is what happens if you break the screen? (I'm guessing people did this with the S7E and the S6E).. Say I call Tmobile and tell them, do they make me send the phone off for repair or do they ship a replacement out to me and then we swap? I'm used to Apple Care where they would take the deductible and then just replace in store.
I believe the Samsung one is near to that (not in store, but they deliver the replacement to you) so wonder how T-Mobile vary. If it's the kind of thing where they are going to make me wait weeks to have it fixed, I'll cancel it.
Thanks.
I've been. T Mobile customer since day 1. I've had the regular & jump insurance since I had my G1. I've only had to replace my phone 2 times since then. Once from theft and once from cracked screen both times i had to pay the premium which was around $100-$200 depending on the price of the phone. Once the replacement comes you send them the broken one. This time around I am trying out Samsung's Insurance.
My insurance is included with my jump 1 program. T-Mobile uses a third party insurance company called Assurant. The deductible for for my S7 flat was $175. As the previous poster said, you fork out the dough, they send you a new or refurbished device along with a return shipping label. The newer the phone, the more likely you are to receive a brand new and not a refurbished device. The more expensive these devices get, the higher your deductible is going to be. I've never used another insurance before.

T mobile is doing it a bit different now for some reason if your device has defects they send the replacement to a tmobile store where they will inspect your phone before they give you the replacement its happen twice like this that ive seen . My sister just did it they just charged her the 5 dollar shipping fee since it was hardware issue but the guy said that their insurnace claims will be handled like that from now on , waste of personal time IMO but i guess saves them money from people trying to pull a fast one

This has been my experience as well regarding the process. I have been in a TMobile store when a huge argument have broken out regarding the need to replace a phone. So if I have any doubts I just say I lost it because I don't want any rep trying to be God.
This is great - thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be in the situation where I called them to say I had a smashed screen, they sent me a returns label and then I had to send the phone off and wait three weeks for it to be fixed or anything like that.
Do they tend to issue replacements fairly quickly? I'm on the policy with Jump. Not that I have any intention of using it but I'm paranoid about this screen!!!

That's the warranty exchange process. I agree. Completely waste of time.
For the insurance claim, once approved, they ship the replacement phone overnight to the house.

you gotta make a claim with the insurance company.
They will charge you whatever the deductible is. You pay that and they send you a phone next day air.
Get that new phone and put the old one back in the box and return it. All prepaid labels.
You can do this 2 times a year.

I just got my claim approved. Seeing as the s8+ juts came out, do you think I'll get a brand new device or a refurbished? Do you think it will be the same color as my current one?

I got another question. So I received my replacement device and it came in with all the accessories, including the afg headphones. When I send my old phone to them, do I need to send all the accessories with it? I'm wanting to keep the headphones at least
