Then you need to call HTC and find out who you need to talk to to find out if your serial number is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If not, it's probably something you should have done BEFORE you made the purchase. I could be wrong but it sounds like someone passed a hardware problem off on an unsuspecting buyer. BUT....it MAY still be covered and they didn't know either.
Isn't it worth a try?
Where can I find there number and can u get me it please?

This is their online "Warranty Statement". But it does conflict with the results some others have had doing a return. It COULD be that they returned it thru their carrier.

This is their website where you can directly e-mail the company with questions if you like.

So a couple of days ago I got the OTA Gingerbread update. After the update my phone has had some problems. When I text, the buttons stop vibrating sometimes. And also some of my contacts on the messaging app just show up as phone numbers. So please tell me what may be happening.
Can't offer any explanations but keep in mind, ota updates can be problematic because its insalling on top of what's currently installed, as opposed to wiping and doing a clean install.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I would suggest taking the phone in or possibly better off calling tech support and have them re push the update and go from there...or just root it and flash a custom ROM and enjoy the phone how it should've been.

The only problem to rooting my phone is that I might want to trade it in for another Inspire, because the screen is starting to pop out of the phone in the bottom left corner. I just don't want my phone to void the warrenty, and make it so I can't return it.

I've returned 2 phone because of that, 1st one was within the original 30 days and 2nd one was after and I thankfully have a tech warranty center close by.
How ever on the second one, a refurb I don't have working GPS and the guy would not let me exchange it again and gave me a number for HTC to call and get it exchanged that way, why I'm not sure but it may have been my fault any way. Lol

Alright, well right now I am trying to find a way to root the phone. I remember how to root my old Samsung Captivate, but this is very different.

If you search, there are procedures posted to return to stock/ s-on in the event you need to do a warranty exchange. I have done this myself and was able to get a warranty exchange.

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"

Your a funny guy BRO that would might work but I cant get any of my PCs to recognize my phone so Im not rooted.Thats why Im looking for a good trust worthy pay site to order one thanks for ya help though
Have you already downloaded the SG4G drivers on all of your PCs? It would be odd that not even one of them worked. You're best bet to getting your phone unlocked, other than from at home, is to call T-mobile and ask them for the code. I heard they will be hesitant to give it to you if you haven't owned the phone for at least 3 months though.
As for myself, I don't know any sites that do this, sorry.
Yes Ive tried drivers some reason nothing works I must be getting the wrong drivers I dont get it.
Try uninstalling the drivers, reinstalling them, then rebooting your phone and PC.

I really want to get this phone rooted so I can try out some roms.I sure miss the G2x was fun testing all the different ones it had
you have to buy a new USB plug! Went tthrough the same problem on my old vibrant I thought I bricked it because it wouldn't turn on,I sent it in and tthey fixed it and sent it back.. still undergoing the same problem I asked a friend for help. He said maybe it was the wire And tthat's exactly what it was. It is most likely without a doubt the wrong wire. Buy a new one!

My original cable got hosed (dropped it in a parking lot...D'oh!) and I bought a new T-Mobile branded one from the T-Mobile store. Was $14 or so, which I felt was robbery, but it works like a champ. I've had no problems flashing ROMs or anything with it.
I just looked the cord over man Im dumb and feel really stupid right now lol Its a LG cord.They say when you hit 40 ya go blind

I would use kies if you are going to return it... that makes it 100% stock... no questions asked...
Raver made a 100% Stock GB ROM. If you use Kies mini you will need to flash back to Pure Stock Froyo then do the upgrade.

I believe the sgs4g is still being sold with 2.2; therefore, it would be in his best interest to flash back to froyo and not do the update. Otherwise, Tmo might not take the phone back...
I am pretty sure it's ok to send the phone back with the updated ROM provided by T-Mobile and Samsung.

I wouldn't be too sure of that... Encountered a similar issue with my old blackberry. I updated it to 6.0 (supposedly bb's reply to android) but I found it had a battery issue. So I took it back to get a different phone (sgs4g) after having the bb for 3 days, and they wouldn't take it back. I had to downgrade it back to 5.2 in order for them to acept it... Has to be in the EXACT same condition as when you bought it per the Tmo agreement...
We have some people on here that sell phones... I bet they let us know.
Actually my phone came with 2.3.6 from a tmobile seller/friend i saw him cut open the seal to show phone, its quite funny he gets tons of customers but nothing is in his store like phone display and such just a desk or two.

I think that's more of a personal decision. I know you can use FBs carrier unlocker script to unlock it for use with other carriers if you like the phone.
Also, please add [SOLVED] to the title of this thread.
