I bought a LG g2x from Washington last week to use on Mobilicity. So far I'm loving it.
No clue what I'll do if something goes wrong with the hardware as you need a T-Mobile account to take advantage of the warranty.

You'd call LG directly. They're the ones that actually handle the year warranty.

1 yr warranty
So this beast actually has a one year warranty from LG. Assuming the patch or GB does not correct my lone issue (non-functioning GPS unless I run LocMgrPD first) then I theoretically could return for a new device from what I hope would be a new production line.
Not to hi-jack the thread, but do we know if the GPS is a known issue that will be addressed?

It's coming to canada on wind in the next few days...

[Q] Insurance claim

Ok i made a loss claim on my sgs4g on tmobile after three days of not having a phone and wondering where the hell it was. That said, i have since recieved my insurance replacement. Today I was cleaning out my car (a weekly ritual) and found it beneath the passenger seat. My question is simply what do i do with it? It is a gsm phone so no blacklisted esn, so can i sell it or give it to a less fortunate friend to use? What are my options?

You should ring your insurance company and ask them what to do. They may say to just forget it, but they may want you to send it back to your provider. Either way you've done the right thing so there's no comeback. After all, you did get a replacement so they played their part. Now it's your turn

Just because it's a GSM phone doesn't mean it can't be blacklisted.
T-Mobile will blacklist the IMEI if the device is reported as lost or stolen.
As Archer has suggested, just phone up your insurance company and ask them, however, don't expect the phone to work for very long.

I had unlocked it, does that matter? btw im not sending it back.

If I were you I'd give it to a friend or use myself , try to change imei if possible. ( No idea how )
Some people really get lucky , I damn with I had sgs just lying around.

Sim unlocking is purely allowing the device to accept sims from another network.
IMEI changing is certainly illegal in the UK and I'm pretty sure it is in the US and Canada.

Sell it to someone overseas, these go for 150-165 in xda marketplace, so a blacklisted one for 50-80 is fair enough.. have a small party with the cash and forget about it!!
Pm me because I'm overseas

[Q] Uh oh Spaghettio

Hey Guys
First of all, Hi! Ive had several devices over the years, so Im not new to XDA, but just to this side of them. So i bought a used HTC One S for Tmobile, Loving it, but then the power button started working intermittently, shades of my nexus one, now it doesn't work at all. I have tried taking off the sim cover and pushing the button directly, but it just won't work. So, I am using a shake to unlock app, but what happens if it dies?
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? Or is this common with this model?
Regards
Trevor

It's a hardware issue. Warranty exchange it.

I know energy rom has a tweak to let you wake with volume keys.
As far as fixing it, I can't help.
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium

will they honor the warranty since i bought it used?

If you dont have the receipts they will probably not exchange it =\
The warranty statement says it applies only to the original buyer.
It can be transferred if sold where HTC as consented in writing to the transfer.
(I'm quoting the warranty statement article 1 here, don't ask me what they mean by that)

Call HTC see what they say. It should be covered under warranty and they don't as if your the original buyer. I'm sure thy will help you out. Normally thy just ask for the serial to see if its still covered. Good luck.

Please update this thread if you try to get it replaced under warranty. I purchased mine used, so I'm curious about the warranty.

I'd be interested in this too. I know that TMO is really helpful, but not so much so with exchanging handsets. What is HTC Customer Service like? Clearly not terrible...

I got a used hd2 a wile back and the touch screen went out on it. All HTC did was ask for the serial # for warranty varification. and they replaced the front screen for free. All I paid was over night shipping to them. They replaced the screen and shipped my hd2 back to me that same day they got it. One day turn around was awsome. Maybe I got lucky but I was still vary impressed with there service.

HTC apparently they don't care about original owner or not...just is it in the warranty period.

I find HTC has the best dedication to the customer they really honor their relationships
(EXCEPT IN CASES OF GPL COMPLIANCE WHERE THEY ARE NEGLIGENT AND PERPETUAL VIOLATORS THEREOF)

Question on dealer plans.

Was looking for this all morning and couldn't find any information, so I thought I'd ask around here. I just got a new job recently where I'll be able to get a free phone and sign up for dealer plans with any of the major carriers. Where I'm at at&t would be my best bet service wise but I was curious if you have to do the same standard credit check and deposit as normal if you're on a dealer plan. I've worked in an at&t call center before and know how ridiculous they get.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Bump. Anyone have experience with this?
Sent from my PH44100 using xda premium

Not that I am aware of. I didnt have to do any of that for my dealer plan with ATT but that was years ago so not sure if the policy had changed.

Cool. Would be awesome to set up without some crazy deposit. Hope that's still the case. Should find out for sure in a month or so.

[Q] Can I sell a subsidized phone, without fees from carrier?

Just wanting to know if anyone has sold a new phone you got a subsidized price on. I currently have a S4 and want to sell it, will ATT give me a problem when I add another device to my account that is not a S4? Thanks!

This forum has some questions and answers related to your question: slickdeals.net/f/3732040-verizon-phone-upgrade-can-i-sell-the-subsidized-phone-for-a-profit

Still not clear, but thank you. I will be making a profit from the sale of the phone. I'm worried that when I purchase a new phone, and activate it with ATT I will be flagged since its not the phone I originally purchased. Anyone with anymore insight care to chime in?

I dont think it should be a problem just tell them you bought another phone to use whe you go abroad. As long as you still pay your bill should be fine
