So the day i got my g2x i signed up for insurance that covers everything. And since tmobile discontinued the g2x, if i loose my phone or someone steals it, how will i get a replacement? Will they give me choices of different phones to choose from?
There's a thread in discussion that summarizes this: if something happens, you pay $130 and can choose an HTC sensation or if you push them a galaxy s2.

it's just like your auto or health insurance. Just because you pay the premiums, you still have a time of service deductible you're responsible for.
Now if it's a warranty problem, they send a refurbished G2x with a much smaller warranty processing fee
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Basically you have to pay for a replacement for anything other than hardware failure. So if you lose it or its stolen or water damage you have to pay. Now let's say your speakers fail or button stops working or even the charger port like mine was they will replace it for "free" as they say, but still make you pay a $5 fee to exchange your phone
Sent from my LG-P999
so lets say i make my own hardware issue and send them the phone, will they send me another g2x or one of the other phones?
Your fault= insurance= large deductible= different phone
LG 's fault= warranty= small processing fee= refurbished G2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
These deductibles are pointless. Might as well get a new phone. But to stay on topic, yeah you will still get your G2x refurb. If they dont have any, $130- $150 for S2 or Sensation.

My power button is very unresponsive cause the button is stuck for some reason anyone having this problem

Yep. This happened to mine as well. This was a common problem with the Nexus One, and it looks like HTC never figured out a way to make a decent lock button. I would kill to have an iPhone-style click to that button.
I'll send it in for warranty before the year is up. But my phone is unlocked and has the nice SLCD, and it would be a pitty to get some junky refurb in exchange. For anyone who has RMA'd HTC phones before: will they actually repair your phone's component, or do they just mail you a refurb?

I had the same issue, it was after my first 14 days and Customer Care would only send me a refurb. I went into the store where they sold it and showed the manager and he was just like "let's get you a new phone". He said the mytouch line has a special policy where they can do in-store only exchanges evan after the 14 day period.
Noooooooooooooooooooooo man wtf I went to a T-Mobile store and the manager always dodges me but they only told me to call customer service sucks ballssss

T-Mo won't do an in-store trade for a phone you didn't buy from them. For that matter I'm not even sure the manufacturer warranty transfers if the original buyer sells it.
i actually had this same problem..called care and they sent me a refurb device...

Did you call T-Mobile customer care or HTC customer care. And did you need proof of purchase etc
Called t-mobile cust care...no need for proof of purchase...i actually bought my mt4g under a different number but put my sim in it first so the warranty is with my number...
I have PHP plan wondering how much it cost to fix the screen and are their any cheaper places. I check T-Mobile can't find it and I never used a third party. Has anyone used any other company than T-Mobile? Thank you for your time and all help appreciated

PHP is insurance. They send you a new device, not repair yours. I dont remember the exact pricing, but i think its about $120.
Damn I rather just have the screen repaired oh well. Thanks time call them any idea how long it takes

They say 14days and your deductible is $130.

Not sure if this will do it but it may and its only 70$.

I talked to one of the reps and they said the only way they could change your color is if your original color is out of stock /:
Idk I know standard insurance with a defective product you have to send in the older model. Idk about going through asurion if I pay $130 they should send a whole new phone.

I recently cracked the screen on my captivate. I had been looking at buying an Inspire 4G off craigslist for about 300 bucks, and didn't really feel like paying 125 bucks for a replacement captivate if i was only going to sell it for about 200 bucks.
So i called up the insurance company through ATT (Ascurion) and told them i had already traded my captivate in 3 times (i had) and that i was fed up with the problems (i was) and wanted to get a replacement Inspire instead of them sending me a Captivate. The lady was more than happy, and even gave me the choice of a free car charger or new case for the Inspire. Sweet!
So, in the end, i pay the deductible (125 bucks) to trade in a shattered Captivate, for a new Inspire 4g. I believe it works easily since they are both on the same Tier 2 insurance rate, and both cost 399 off contract. All the other non-satisfied Captivate owners should check it out if you are paying the 5 dollar monthly insurance. I could get used to using this as a way to update phones when they come out!

dont be mad because you cheaped out on the 5$ insurance and you are looking for a way to get away from the Captivate.
ATT wouldn't be the first that has done that. The warranty says it can be an equal or better product and.most times.that is determined based on price.

Ok ATT has whats called the 3 strikes rule. If you return the same device 3 times They can offer you a swap, some times there is a minor charge, like 20 bucks or so but most of the time there is no charge. The 2 devices have to be around the same thing. So no swapping a dumb flip phone for an Inspire.

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.

So I've had my nexus s for like 3 months and the glass just mysteriously cracked. Wtf. And the asurion insurance wants me to pay 130 for them to replace it with a vibrant, not even a 4g a goddamn 3g vibrant. Wtf!
How is that even possible not the same phone
You have to be leaving something out
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Nope not leaving anything out, because T-Mobile doesn't actually carry this phone the 8 bucks a month I spend on insurance can't replace this particular device. Just screwed unless I buy the touch screen digitizer glass assembly and fix it my self, which is what Iam going to do.
Wonder if you would be able to keep the busted nexus s with the claim, and get the other phone? I would fix the NS, then flip the other for cash.
Just a thought........

i don't know from experience, but i've been told that with sprint's asurion claims, many times they don't even ask for the original device back.
maybe tmo's policy is the same? and technically this wouldn't be fraud either.
The ESN becomes blacklisted so it doesn't become much more than a glorified media player.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
thats what i thought too, but there are reports that sprint hasn't been blacklisting them. nonetheless, his is a gsm phone, so he wouldn't have to worry about that.
Yea they told me i would be billed like 30 bucks if i didnt return it, sooo... that might not be a bad plan. Thanks for the idea
WIN!
Usually that company will reimburse you for the cost of buying a new Nexus S, less the deductible. All you should have to do is send them the receipt. Call them and ask..that's what a lot of Nexus One owners had to do.
