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..

Mehhh I'm not really sold on the Note yet. I've been looking at it, but I dunno.
It's a possibility
so i managed to talk this guy down on a samsung note a few days ago. box and all for a very good price. well today he calls me asking if it would be cool if he filed a claim on the phone saying he lost it. i told him no way! i also said that i have the box with his name and # labeled on it and that i would in no way support him if this comes down bad.
i guess my question is...if he tries to scam att or the insurance company what will happen? i rooted and unlocked it and use tmobile. just want to know if this is gonna come back on me.
he had other calls on the phone and wanted make a few extra bucks doing this scam...
not cool.
You should be fine, AT&T to my knowledge doesn't block IMEIs on lost/stolen phones. There is also no network collaboration between TMO and AT&T for IMEI blocking either, so you'd be doubly fine on T-Mobile.
It's definitely fraud on the part of the seller though.

Then you shouldn't worry. You've got more than enough evidence to prove you got the phone legitimately. If he tries to pull an insurance job, he'll be the one to get busted since you have proof you bought the phone and not nicked it.

Because I don't want to activate it I just to use it for fun, but it connected to 4g and started to ring as I dialed a number. So I'm scared to as in what's going to happen.

You won't get into trouble. Just say you bought of Craigslist ans show some proof that you actually did. I've been through this trust me,
Sell it, tell the buyer that you got it from a friend that didnt want it anymore, but you dont want it either, so you decided to sell it. With the money you gotfrom it, buy an other NS4G.

Or you're absolutely right. Scamming someone is perfectly legal.
No really guys? You're asking him to commit a crime??
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.
Well I just bought it. Rather, my friend did. I'm shipping it out later today. Wish me luck.

Well that's comforting...it sucks not having a phone. I'm using my iPod touch to keep in contact with some of my friends (esp. my gf), most of which "luckily" have iPhones so i can use iMessage.

Well, I get my Charge back tomorrow. Liquipel actually was done in 1-2 days, but FedEx apparently decided to test Tweaked 3.0 for themselves from Thursday-Monday in CA. I got word that its in the processing center in Fort Worth today, so, we'll see how this coating turns out.

Funny thing about fedex. On their tracker it was in Fort Worth at noon one day and it got to my house in Wisconsin at like 6pm.
I just got it back. This is completely ridiculous. It actually works.

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.

Pansy? Seems like you really want a new phone
Still Charged Up
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.

Good thing I didn't pay for it it was extremely painful for me not to have a phone for just over a week. I'm a bit traumatized. My upgrade is this summer.

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.
