Hello guys, my inspire's audio jack is nearly shot. The music is crackly and it stops and skips. I know its not my beats or the cable. I was wondering if i unrooted my inspire and walked into an at&t service center if they would replace it with a refurb. I bought it the month it came out and i have no insurance on it. Any thoughts?

I don't think most stores carry the refurbs. You would have to call ATT support for that. But as long as the phone does not look physically abused on the outside I would say you stand a good chance getting it exchanged. What have you got to lose?

At&t has service centers.... That's where I'd go. But would they take it rooted?

No, they will not take it w/modified firmware.

So if I unroot it i will be fine? If so can someone point me to an unrooting guide?
You have to install an unrooted stock ROM and return the phone to s-on. Advanced Ace Hack Kit will do what you want.

As long as you return it to stock they'll replace it, they did it with mine once before

Nice thanks.
The past three times I've had phones replaced, I've called ATT. They send you a replacement phone in 2-3 days and you have 2 weeks to send back your old one. I've never been to a service center, because I don't want to give them an opportunity to reject my phone on the spot (in case of scratches or scuffs, etc).

you dont need to get a referb. if you go to a corporate store theyll switch you out right there on the spot.

if you are outside your return window, they will refer you to get a replacement sent to you or you can call 611 and talk to a data tech support person and they will send you a replacement, but the stores will not replace it on the spot. they prob would if you *****ed and moaned for 2 hrs straight just to get you to leave... but their policy is to have a replacement mailed to you

I find being either a complete and total ****(which comes naturally to me) or knowing someone that works there solves the two hour problem. haha. I got an upgrade once when my phone died and wasnt insured. Didnt have to renew my contract or anything but walked out of there with a new phone. Granted, I cant go back to that specific store anymore, but I still got my way. haha.

That is not correct. A Corporate store will exchange the phone outright, if they have it in stock.

Probably just depends on who you speak to. I was in a corporate store yesterday and they told me they would not exchange it outside of the return window, and that I would have to wait for one in the mail. They had it in stock and everything, just wouldn't do it.
Same story. But the good news is when talking to them on the phone they said since the phone is only 3 weeks old that there are no refurbs yet just new factory replacement new phone just no box and battery and mem card. I'll wait till Monday and post if its new or and obvious shi**y refurb.

Well not that it matters as I'm pretty sure that this thread is dead, but I received my replacement today. The phone is in great shape no speakerphone issue, no dead pixels, all buttons are perfect. So anyone that has to get a CLN device don't panic it may be better than out of the box.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I was going to say the phone has only been out like what 3 weeks, even if it was refurbished I'm sure it wouldn't be beat to death.
I'd be willing to bet my own TBolt that you will not receive a refurbished device. It will be just the handset. No battery, SDcard, etc. I have never seen a refurbished phone actually be refurbished. They purchase devices w/o the packaging and included accessories from manufacturer's. If you choose to purchase a refurb, then you get sent an actual refurb but replacements are new 99.9% of the time. My fiancee was just outside our 14 days and needed her incredible replaced. They sent a brand new "refurb" and offered me $100 off my bill since technically I paid for a new device and received a "refurbished" unit. So basically she got a new dinc for free. Not to mention the TB is so new they wouldn't even have refurbs yet. Don't get upset till you get the device, I guarantee you will be happy with it.
BTW, for those arguing over the return policy. They will refer you to a repair center for an exchange. If your in your 14 day period however, you hold the power to either get an exchange or cancel out right so they will usually do the exchange rather than risk you getting pissed and returning the phone and canceling your contract. They'll make it as if their doing you a favor but in reality you are in charge during the first 14 days.

Did it comenwithout the battery cover? Just curious. Thanks
Yes it came without a battery cover later that night though the plastic rubber piece at the bottom of the screen popped out lol. What a joke this phone is they are sending another I hate this spending money on a piece of junk. I do love the phone but UK glad I signed only a one year contract. I'm not even picky I don't care about dust under the screen or light bleed though. But really a malfunctioning speaker and this one falling apart give me a break.

Send it to HTC. $150 is what I hear.
Check with your insurance company and add it to the claim they may or may not cover it but at least it will go against your deductible.
Do you have phone insurance with ATT its like a 120 deductible to get a new one. If not, from what I have been told its 150 to referb your phone through HTC

Yes, just Google cell phone repair and find a place your comfortable with as always check reviews on there service, I would stay away from fleebay. Your handset insurance won't cover it but try your auto insurance on personal items or wasn't a claimable accident?

the insurance company said all personal items will not be covered if they are not properly tied down to the motorcycle or secured. apperently my phone being in my backpack isnt "properly secured"
Aren't there any local cellphone shops around where you live? Here we got some small shops that can do that kind of repair for cheaper than what you can find online or e bay. Or if you're really into fixing stuff just get the digitizer on e bay and do it yourself, it isn't as hard as it looks.

Just google 'cell phone repair' in your area. I know a few in my area that do them on average from $50-$80 for a screen change.

Hey everyone,
The lock button on my Nexus S 4g seems broken. It only registers after you press the button multiple times. This randomly started happening (ie: no bumps or drops prior to the issue starting). The button is doing the same when I boot into recovery, which leads me to believe it isn't a software/ROM issue.
That being said, I only have the $5 insurance from Sprint, not the $7 one, which only covers accidental damage, water damage, or theft. What should I do to get it fixed, short of buying a new phone?

Are you still under warranty? You can claim on that

It should be 1 year, just be sure to revert to stock and lock bootloader
You could also replace the button but that will void warranty and probably insurance as well

Contact Sprint to be sure ... And I would just replace mine myself if I were you ..
I did contact them and they said it wasn't covered under the $5 plan.
How hard would it be to replace it myself?

Physical damage means you've got to pay your deductible which I believe is $100.

Don't get the Amaze! I bought it for my girlfriend since it had basically the same hardware as the Sensation, and I loved my Sensation. Completely difficult to do any kind of hacking or flashing, and there is NO development over in their dev threads next to some high school themers.
I guess I can't complain because I haven't/can't contribute to the development. But just a fair warning.
