What makes you think that? Unable to activate on Sprint?
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.
I don't want to get in trouble.

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.

What exactly do I do? Do i go to sprint and tell them I bought it off craigslist and show the text messages between me and the seller. I have the seller's Posting Id, cell phone number, and email address.
I want to keep the phone as a backup and learn from.

Well I paid 100 for it and no one else is selling one for that price I just don't want to to jail.

If I find a phone ringing even though I have not activated the phone yet, I would definitely inform Sprint about it if I was in your situation. If it were me, I would be completely honest about everything.
But the end decision is yours.

Well just an update I called sprint and they said that it was deactivated on the 30th, but it did rinng but I cancelled it before person could pick up. 4g connects, but the guy said its more of a WiFi hotspot like and somebody nearby with it it picks it up.
But I'm all good so thanks for the advice this question is solved and the thread can now be closed by a mod

Hey guys so long story short I picked up a NS4G in a trade. I knew it was "bricked" but I figured hey i have xda! lol
It doesn't power on wont take a charge and does nothing when pressing button combo's. I have searched thru the threads and could not find anything.
I have read about a place you can send it into and they can fix it but not sure about that.
Basically I am wondering should I just throw it in the trash because it is a paper weight? Or is it salvageable?
The guy said he couldn't remember what ROM it was running but I didn't think that really mattered?
Thanks in advanced!!
P.S:The ESN is clear just so you know we aren't wasting our time.
Another question. Would sprint be able to repair the phone? As in replace something in it? I have a service/repair center pretty close to me.
If it ends up not booting and not fixable I'll pay shipping for it.
Just wanted to get "1st dibs"

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?

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.

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.

I'm sure you were joking, but to others, the rep would have absolutely no idea what a bootloader was. They take a lot of crap from customers already. Please don't mess with the salespeople. They couldn't make a change in the locked bootloader policy anyway.

The CS reps at the store didn't lock your bootloader, in fact the ones at my store all have their phones rooted and were hoping for an unlock as well. Blame the corporate bastards. The ones who see most of your money.

I bet those corporate bastards are gonna feel stupid now! I'd really like to see the look on the face of some of those people who implemented or contributed to the locked bootloader policy (at least for the SGS3). It took about a month for it to get unlocked, they must have spent more time among all their people to lock down millions of these phones, that's probably why Verizon released theirs last, later than anybody else, before they even knew there would be a supply delay, I now realize it wasn't a good, educated guess on the delay that all the other carriers had. I'd like to ask those immoral idiots "what ar you gonna do now, you a**holes"?
