I recently cracked the screen on my captivate. I had been looking at buying an Inspire 4G off craigslist for about 300 bucks, and didn't really feel like paying 125 bucks for a replacement captivate if i was only going to sell it for about 200 bucks.
So i called up the insurance company through ATT (Ascurion) and told them i had already traded my captivate in 3 times (i had) and that i was fed up with the problems (i was) and wanted to get a replacement Inspire instead of them sending me a Captivate. The lady was more than happy, and even gave me the choice of a free car charger or new case for the Inspire. Sweet!
So, in the end, i pay the deductible (125 bucks) to trade in a shattered Captivate, for a new Inspire 4g. I believe it works easily since they are both on the same Tier 2 insurance rate, and both cost 399 off contract. All the other non-satisfied Captivate owners should check it out if you are paying the 5 dollar monthly insurance. I could get used to using this as a way to update phones when they come out!

I have the same insurance and have filed a claim. They "will do **** like that". They don't care as long as the phone is in the same tier and costs the same or less

dont be mad because you cheaped out on the 5$ insurance and you are looking for a way to get away from the Captivate.
ATT wouldn't be the first that has done that. The warranty says it can be an equal or better product and.most times.that is determined based on price.

Ok ATT has whats called the 3 strikes rule. If you return the same device 3 times They can offer you a swap, some times there is a minor charge, like 20 bucks or so but most of the time there is no charge. The 2 devices have to be around the same thing. So no swapping a dumb flip phone for an Inspire.
Sorry for the stupid question but how much does this device cost with a 2 yr contract with T-Mobile. The website says 149$ now but is that the final price or will the final price be 50$ after mail in rebate? And is the price gonna drop anytime soon(hopefully on September) I want this phone more than anything right now but 149 is just too damn much for me.

Yea I've had the chance many times but Im hopeful that the Christmas season and the possibility of the HTC one x + coming to T-Mobile will drop the price significantly. My phone upgrade is on the 18th of October so all these will hopefully lower the price to like 50$

On T-Mobile's USA website this phone is $149, after $50 rebate. You can get this phone in Bestbuy for $79 and no rebate needed. I was on bestbuy's website and the phone was $79

Yes with 2 year contract! There is one weird thing that happed. I had an older data plan which had unlimited fot $20. It was before the time when T-Mobile introduced 2G/5 and 10GB plans. On all other phones that I had including: Galaxy S and S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Nokia Win 7 phone and so on, I was able to use Wifi HotSpot with that old data plan. Now when I got HTC One S, it stopped working and every time I wanted to activate hotspot on my phone, a page would open up, stating that I need to pay for $15 extra... So I called customer care and told them the above story. She told me that my plan is old and about 6 months ago the company started to monitor and charge users for hotspot service. She said I would have to pay $35 total. So at the end I made her do it for $20 for 2 year. So now I have new plan with 5GB+hotspot. I think phones with Android 4+ t-mobile started to block users without hotspot plan. So you know.

Wow that sucks! I'm assuming that since you're on xda your phone is rooted which means you can get FREE wifi tethering apps in fact that's one of the main reason people root in the first place. You should look onto it if you don't already know by now. Its just what you need!

Got 2 ordered and my roomie ordered 2. Shipping to Canada was $11 for one, $38 total for 4.
Nice idea for US citizens, for Israel for example, shipping itself costs 30$... at this cost I order 4 OEM batteries... (plus it's huge)

I got mine the other day. With the powerskin on, it is thicker, but I let a stopwatch software run all night, after 14 hours of full on screen time, the powerglove was at 0 and my stock battery was at 35% and I had to charge it for todays use. not bad to get 14+ hours of screen time usuage.

Only gripe is it doesn't mount USB when you plug in through the side charging port, so you have to remove it from the case if you want to access your SD card. I used airdroid or samba share anyways, so doesn't bother me much. I like samba share, my phone appears right in my network along with the other zillion devices on my network, so easy to copy to.

Ok if you havent heard att has a new deal that allows you to get a new device on your plan every 12 months. The catch is your billed 39 dollars on every bill. At least that's what I think....
Can someone explain to me if I'm missing something. Now when I tried to do this I still had to pay a large amount, 2yr, 1yr, and full retail, even though I wanted to do the Next deal. I'm almost due for an upgrade in 2 months any how. Is that the reason?

You can't do any deal until it's upgrade time
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Also, with this "deal" you end up paying at least a 3rd more than the price of the phone for a normal upgrade. I think, if I remember correctly, that the s4 was going to be around $270 over the life of the contract as opposed to the $200 you'd pay for a normal upgrade.
Seems like it's a rip off to me, but to each their own.

But......You get to upgrade in 1 year instead of waiting 2 years. You also have to trade in the phone when upgrading, unless you want to pay off the remainder owed on the phone.

I think going to use this next program for the note 3. According to my upgrade page it will $35 a month for 20 months but I will be able to upgrade in a year. So instead of $300 upfront and a $36 upgrade fee, it will be around $420 for the year plus the fact that not gonna get insurance on it cause I'm gonna "lease" it for a year.
I'm still going to keep my skyrocket though on my work line.

So basically your leasing the phone. I knew there was something up with this next deal. I'd rather just wait till my upgrade then.

To me the thing to know is the trade in value at the end of the year. In other words will you recieve any money back or not when you return the phone. The note 3 retails for 799. 299 if you get the two year contract. It's 37 a month with the next program. If you keep it for the whole 20 months thats 740 bucks. So your getting a little over 7% off the full retail value. If you keep it for the 12 months then trade it in you'll pay 444. Will you get any of that back when you trade in the phone for next years model? That seems to be the unknown here. As far as not getting insurance goes that is a really bad idea. You break or lose it and you'll not be able to trade it in hence will have to pay the full term of the next contract I would think.

$35 for me. I've heard from a few different forums people have had different prices from one another by a few dollars per month. For me it seems worth it. Especially taking out the $10 a month for insurance.

Well that's if the bootloader gets cracked.
And only if you want to return it. Next is really only worth it if you upgrade every year. Or else in 20 months you pay full price at contract monthly cost.

Anybody get the money? Any snags?
Thanks lg !
Instead of $19 per litigant, LG should have provided ICS and we would be happy with that but the lawyers must be paid their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so they settled for the cash to get their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$... Lawyers get the most $ out of any class-action lawsuit which is why class-action lawsuits are a farce.
Lol got mine yesterday... funny cuz my wife and I both got our G2X's for free from a co-worker. AND its addressed to my wife! Wonder if we'll get another one...

I bought mine used, and I got the postcard.
I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is able to see what phone is being used on their network.
Oh well, 19 bucks is 19 bucks
I got my post card yesterday.
$19 is a ridiculuos amount. but something is better than nothing. Submitted my online claim today.
You don't need to have a claim form to get the money,go to LGPhoneSettlement.com to file a claim. I might get $28 because I had a replacement a few months after buying one.
I heard we get an additional $19 for each replacement phone too.. Which is nice since I got like 5
It is very mysterious how they knew what addresses to send them to.
The address I'm currently living at has never been on my t-mobile account. They're obviously pulling public records searches based on both purchase and usage data from T-Mobile.
I bought mine new from an eBay dealer and I also got one replacement from that dealer. The letter says that you have to had bought your phone from T-Mobile in order to get your $19 and that you might have to submit proof of this. I think it's just a load of BS on LG's part.

yup got this post card too. I wonder is this legit or its scam for info? Im glad I got rid of that pos phone waiting and waiting for LG to release ICS and the same goes for Samsung Galaxy. Both phones were flagship but they pulled plug on them so quick
I got this as well and got rid of the g2x a few months after release. Thou i think they sent it out to all T-Mobile customers because my mom got one and she never owned a g2x.
