This phone was only released this summer. If it looks good (no scratches or dings) you should be ok.
But i guess the store where he bought it can check the serial number for you and say when it was sold.

In the UK we don't need any documentation for warranty as they use the Serial number/imei number etc and it comes as standard with all new products sold even if it's sold on.

That's good to know. I just rechecked what came with my phone and it turns out I didn't notice a tiny piece of paper that does say there is a two year warranty but no forms to prove purchase in case of a claim so you must be correct that they can tell from your phone when it was purchased.
Though mine is rooted which invalidates warranty anyway.

Depends on what you're claiming for on the warranty I guess. If it's firmware then yes the warrantly would most likely become invalid but if it's hardware say like the screen or battery then I doubt they'd void the warranty.
I don't think alot of resellers (I assume) would care as they're not actually paying for the costs, LG is.
If you actually read all the stuff in the box you would know that ALL the handsets come with a two year warranty (verified by serial number) and that software mods do not invalidate the warranty. I know this for a fact having sent my o3d in for repair last month running selfkang and it came back, with selfkang still installed filly repair without so much as a blink of an eye from the repair team.

The warranty bit is a tiny piece of paper that had got slipped inside a foreign language mini booklet on mine so its not surprising I didn't notice it as I only read the english language booklet.
As for rooting you are wrong as during an exchange with lg uk last year where I was annoyed I might have to root to get gingerbread they told me rooting would invalidate my warranty. That was official lg reply so it must do.

Basically they're saying that unlocking he bootloader does not void warranty when it comes to very obvious hardware defects.
But if your device fails to turn on one day, even if it was nothing caused by unlocking, I doubt they'd provide warranty service if the device is unlocked with that issue.
I also spoked to HTC and they said my warranty is voided. I also wanted to tell them about the defective casing i had since june (when i bought the phone) and they told me that I don't have warranty anymore because i Unlocked the bootloader using official method. So if u unlock it, u won't have warranty..anymore..NEVER!

It's been my experience that HTC's support is excellent, especially for a phone company. Many technology companies have only machine replies, while HTC has actual, knowledgeable humans. So it seems, anyway.
Example, I recently contacted them about getting a new Desire battery, and they told me that while they couldn't replace it (out of warranty), and my phone provider didn't carry the batteries anymore, I could find a replacement at [list of Canadian online stores I'd never heard of but seem incredibly well-stocked with reasonably-priced phone stuff]. Usually the company line is, "no, we can't do that", period... no helpful suggestions. And I'm not kidding you, this email was about 4 paragraphs long! I was so enthusiastic about the quality of their service I said I was planning to post it on Reddit or something and the guy REPLIED AGAIN to "thank me for my kind words" and then give me a number I could call as another suggestion!
I very nearly went for a SGS2, and then a Droid 3 (Canadian equivalent), but I'm extra happy now I settled on the HTC.
How hard would it be to replace the charging port on the phone? Mine is on the brink of death and a whole new phone isnt exactly in the card right now so I thought about just replacing the charging port, but I dont know what all would go into it.

Replacing it wouldn't be that hard for someone with some skills with small electronics. If you or a friend have those skills should be pretty painless. If not use that link that eellio sent you or find a repair shop in your area.

That was my reason for looking to get it fixed. I have pretty good soldering skills and I woulndt attempt it.
Juls if they will warranty it I would go that route. I figured it was out of warranty.

The mobile Odin will only work if you don't Odin back to a non rooted stock.....must have root to use it .....I looked into it and will eventually let it run its 30 min long log to hand in for a request for our device

If you went with insurance I hope you told them you lost phone? By doing this it allows you to keep your phone for parts or even use it as a tester phone so you can try to flash risky stuff without worrying about being left with a dead device you will have spare. Hope you understand what I'm saying. If you say phone has problem you pay 130 and ship back your phone to them. If you already told them there was an issue and they want phone back wait a day call them back and say the phone is now lost
NOT stolen this way the phone can't be locked out hope this helped

I have not tried after I received the phone but have called a day after I put in claim and no problems. It's worth a shot I mean it could really happen.

Even if the device is broken there are still good parts that you or someone else could use
Side note you can put old phone on ebay and probably get at least 100 dollars to help cover the insurance cost.

I should of seen that coming. But who is screwing who, as phone company charges 600 for device then they require a 2 year contract and phone is only warrantied for one year so you buy insurance at 10 a month for 24 months another 240 we are now at 840 plus when phone breaks you pay another 130 for a grand total of 970, and you get a refurbished device. Do what you want. I am not condoning fraud but for that price I'm keeping my original phone. Ins company are nothing but legal scam artists

If you pay 600 bucks for a device on contract then you are doing it wrong. I paid right at 400 for the phone and car dock OUT of contract.
I understand what your saying, however it is insurance fraud. I disagree with people doing this and will speak up every time. Plus Im sure your comment and my replies will be reported to a mod and get this thread either locked or them removed. Because xda doesnt condone this and doenst allow these type of conversations.
Food for thought, if you are caught doing this it can also cause you to be non insurable as well as criminal charges or for however long the insurance company feels necessary to report you as a risk for fraudulent claims when attempting to get insurance in the future.

I agree with you and understand where you are coming from, but it makes me wonder...
If you were to flash your device and hard brick it, and you have insurance. Would you call Tmobile and say "I rooted my phone and was attempting to load third party firmware on it when I messed up and my device will no longer turn on."?
Or would you simply say your device does not turn on anymore?

I sat for three days with a semi hard bricked Droid X that I got the day after they released. I was about to buy a new phone when moto's version of odin was leaked and I was able to restore it. I also thought my Optimus V was beyond restoration and after hours and hours of tinkering got it back alive. I had paid for insurance from best buy and thought about using it but personally I couldnt do it.
So to answer I wouldnt even call them. I would start saving to replace the phone. I broke it I have to eat it.

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.

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.

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.

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!!
I seem to have hard bricked my Galaxy S3 on US Cellular. I was running Baked blackbean 6, and wanted to flash the latest modem for USCC to fix the absolutely terrible signal issues. I grabbed the zip and opened it up in mobile odin and told it to flash. My phone shut down and now won't do a thing. No download mode, no recovery, no notification light. When I plug it into my computer, the computer dings to say that something has been plugged in, but it doesn't show anything anywhere. It's not detected by odin.
So. I want to either fix it or get it replaced. I have done a bit of research, and it looks like a jtag fix is the only thing that'll work at this point. And the jtag fix I've found is for the international galaxy s3. I'd need the correct files for the USCC/Verizon S3. I've also seen that I can send it to some place online for $60 and they'll fix it. But that takes like 2 weeks. I was thinking about bringing it back to the store and asking for a replacement.
I'm figuring I should just bring it in and act dumb. Say it wouldn't turn on today when I got up. Then they put a new battery in it, and it still doesn't work. Then they give me a replacement. But I've never returned a device like this. Any tips regarding my issue?
Yes pay for the JTAG. You broke your phone not the carrier. Pay the extra for faster shipping and it only takes a couple days then.

I would go for that, except my phone was one of the phones with the signal issues. US Cellular started offering replacements for those. I hadn't brought mine in, as I wasn't feeling up to making everything stock again. So even if I did the jtag, then I'd still have a phone that didn't work right. That's why I don't feel wrong bringing it in for a free replacement if I can.

This isn't insurance fraud -- this is what insurance is for. Trying to get it warrantied is fraud, given that it was not the carrier's problem, but the insurance is there for accidental damage/loss. Accidently bricking the phone is definitely accidental damage and is clearly a legit insurance claim.

If it's a legit insurance claim, why is it he "suddenly couldn't find it" then filed the insurance claim? Why didn't he just file the claim saying he bricked his phone flashing a custom ROM? Because he knew it would be denied. He purposefully flashed custom software which bricked his phone, nothing accidental about that. I'm quite certain he filed the claim as a lost phone, not that he bricked it flashing custom software. Try filling the claim as an accidental brick from flashing a custom ROM and see how far you get with that.

I use insurance whenever I brick my phone. I dont think its fraud. If I'm paying $5 a month and a $100 deductible they better cover tinkering with the phone

If you don't have any cosmetic damage call samsung and say it died. You have a free one year manufacture warranty use it a lot of people don't I did twice. They send you a box to send your phone and send you a refurbished or new phone. They send the new device to your house with ups. The box they send for you to send your old phone is prepaid you just drop it off at the ups store. Don't waste your time with the carrier it only take a week the most to get your phone back man. Htc do the same accept they wanted me to pay for shipping.

Pulled out my month old Nexus out of my pocket, and to my dismay, I found my LCD had cracked. The phone was not dropped or abused in any way and always had a tpu case on it. The glass is still perfect. The right half of the touchscreen works sporadically also so I'm assuming that both the LCD and Digitizer cracked. Pictures are attatched below. Will this be covered under LG's warranty or am I better off buying the parts and replacing it myself, as I have experience with fixing my own phones.
Personally I would not feel obligated to replace that myself, and there should be no reason for that to happen.

That's what I'm thinking, but LG said that I'd have to send it in for them to SEE if it would be covered under warranty, that I'd be responsible for the shipping charges to and fro, and that if they determined it wasn't covered that I'd be responsible for the repair charges. I want my phone fixed and I know it wasn't my fault, but I don't want to end up with a $300 repair bill, that's why I'm asking if anyone has experience with this type of situation.

I would send it in take my chances. I would insist its a workmanship defect. Make sure you take plenty of pictures to demonstrate that their are no physical damage from the outside.

Agree. Don't be afraid to argue them on it either.

Why are you going through LG and not through Google? I thought Google provides warranty for N5s.

I contacted google and the lady that answered told me that LG would offer me repair options and transferred me. Would a different rep let me do the fix through Google?
Google do RMA. LG do warranty repair. You can only RMA to google if you purchased from Play.
If you purchased from play, not sure why you're being sent to LG

He's being sent to LG because it's a cracked display. Not an RMA and not covered under warranty. You can put enough pressure on the glass to crack the LCD and not break the glass. That's most likely what happened here. OP I'd still send it to them but be prepared to pay for it. Good luck man.

So why are LG assessing whether it's covered by warranty?

They'll assess it. But I'd bet a lot of money they will say it's not covered. I've been wrong before so maybe the OP will let us know the outcome in a week or so.
Sure, they probably will but they have to assess it because its possible that a manufacturing defect meant it was predisposed to failure

Painful, how did it break in spite of the case?. But I think cracked lcd is not covered under warranty. You need to call up LG, they will first ask you to send the phone to inspect the condition and then give an estimate cost. So if you know how to do it its better you do it.
I'm no expert but that seems like a point of impact. You might've bumped into something (desk corner?) when it was in your pocket.
LG will want money, if they even are willing to fix it.
