I went to AT&T store to see what they can do with my phone before I waste $200 for new one from insurance. They said to go other AT&T store where it has Device Support Centers. I was worrying becuz it was rooted and had chipped on two sides. LOL. They checked to see if my warranty was good or not. It was good til May 21. Then they were doing troubleshoot first. They had to erase and flash something from the computer and it didn't fix the problem and got me other phone at no charge.
Now I have new phone!! And is good for other 90 days warranty. I went home and rooted it again and flashed MIUI 2-3-2b stable on it. Now I want HTC Vivid. LOL

You can buy new camera replacements for way cheaper than 200 but opening your phone will void warrenty

Yes it can be but once you learn how to flash custom roms on it which involves a few more steps than the infuse it is not that hard I like my vivid but I do miss my infuse at times

Have a replacement phone coming in, will AT&T charge me for my current damage? Pics
I have a replacement due here tomorrow and I dropped my phone today. Will AT&T charge me ($504 i think) because of this body damage?
Hope not
Nah, I think you'll be alright. The most expensive parts are the glass/digitizer. Insurance claims are 200 bucks, but they'll probably just chalk this up to normal wear and tear, replace the case, and be done with it.

i'm not sure about att..
but htc they might...
they may just deny your warranty, because there are physical damage on the phone.
they denied mine, because i have a small crack on the case...
Is it a warranty claim or an insurance claim?

When you call into AT&T ask for the number to the warranty department. They will ask you a few questions to determine if that's the right department you are looking for. Just say you charged your phone and it no longer turns on. Eventually after lying a bit more you will have a replacement device on its way to you. Works for me all the time and have never failed yet.
They say all kind of things to scare you out of it, but nothing ever happens. I don't know if it is just my luck. I warranty at least 3 times for the year just to keep my phone looking brand new and I send it in working perfectly fine.

If you wanna keep karma intact call Samsung and ask them how much it would be to replace the digitizer. If you don't believe in karma just flash a ROM to it from another Samsung phone. Bring it to ATT store and say WTF my phone just stopped working.
Lol thanks rapstar I can definitely give it a shot. Here my thing jyazzie that your correct they don't warranty hardware breaking so by my son dropping the phone voided the warranty. But here my thing I have had other providers and they always warrantied at least one accidental replacement and for 199 I could just go and buy something else like a galaxy note. But seriously 199 for a phone that is on the do not sell list lol. Thank you all for the help and feed back. But I'll see if my work will let me get one temporarily.

I'd try to brick it through Kies, tbqh. Can be done without the screen on if you restore to 2.3 in ODIN. It's a risk that they see the digitizer and have a "WTF" moment, but you stand a good chance of getting away with saying, "I did the upgrade through Kies and now it doesn't work."

Indeed. I actually had Samsung replace my screen when I broke the glass a few months ago. They charged me 158 and they covered shipping both ways. I had the phone back in 8 days. Since they did the work it is still under warranty if anything else should go wrong. It was actually cheaper than any of the glass/digitizer units I could find online.

Hello xda. Let me get straight to the point. My mom, step sister, brother and cousin all have the EVO shift. My cousin is on his 6th. My bros on his 3rd. Sisters on her 3rd and now my mom is getting her second. All do to touchscreen malfunction. I attached some pictures of the dead spot on the phone. Not only can I not touch there but sometimes when the phones just sitting there it'll touch random spots. Is there a fix to this? Maybe running an RUU?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
I've had the same problem in the same spot since I got my phone. Sprint and Wirefly screwed me out of insurance... So I just work around it by rotating the screen.
Changing the build.prop helps. Change windowsmgr.maxevents to 240. If you're not rooted you are outta luck tho, no update is gonna fix that.

The phones did work good for a while but then after time the touch just starts dying. Almost a total of 12 phones have had the same problem. Although phone with keyboards tend to malfunction more than bar phones.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yeah that is usually the flex cable but mine had a small dead line across the screen and progressively got worse. My wife's does too but hers happened after getting dropped in a drink lol. I'll just say I have done a lot with Android and I can't fix this problem, it is a hardware issue, no software will fix it.
That's what had happened to a few of the shifts. The cable started to crease and that shorted the screen to a point where it was unusable.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
It's defiantly a Hardware issue. Usually the Flex Cable. I've had them bought to me for repair acting just like yours. Usually end up replacing the Digitizer also. Because people tend to bang on the Screen harder, thinking that that will make it work. Which does nothing but cause more damage. If you have TEP, take it in. Just make sure to RUU before you take it in.

After the third time for the same issue you can request a NEW one. They may not be to happy to oblige, but if you stay on them they should do it. Also after the third time for the same issue, you can request a different device. It would be without a penalty. Meaning you should not have to use your Upgrade.
Either im really lucky or really careful, because nothing has gone bad on my shift except the battery. And that's after two years.

Maybe I'm just paranoid but if the person selling doesnt say what all the little problems are, then those could turn into bigger problems for me
At least with Sprint theres the guarantee that I can always pull the unhappy paying customer card
