[Q] RIP HTC Inspire 4G (2/13/11-3/4/11)

So I was forced to execute my Inspire today. It was rooted, I've tried different roms/radios, flashed rooted stock rom/stock rom. It was never reliable: always dropping service, not receiving/making calls at random times, mms unreliable. I took it back to best buy to try to get it exchanged for a new one. Of course the phone was working flawlessly when I got to the store. The good news is that I had purchased the best buy protection plan for it at $10/month. I had enough of the phone not working reliably for its intended purpose and had to smash it in order to get a new unit. I went back to best buy and turned in the broken phone, and after more than a few suspicious looks from workers-got my phone sent in for repair. Of course it's not going to be repairable (I hit it with my baton , which crushed the screen and phone in the middle), so now I wait a few weeks for my new unit.
My question is, should I cancel my ATT contract and go with a different provider. I loved the actual phone, I just think the ATT "4G" service is horribly unreliable in my area. Or, are there any good Android 3G phones for ATT?
BTW, I am coming from an iPhone 4 before i got the HTC Inspire. iPhone worked awesome, I'm just tired of Apple products.

You can exchange/return your phone within 30 days so why the hell did you "smash" it?

If you were within the 30 days you had every right to just return it just because you wanted to.
I hope you get it all worked out. GL

I LOL'd when I read that
In my opinion, you have the best android phone AT&T has to offer...and on this thread? I think a lot of people will think the same thing. A lot of us inspire owners are previous captivate owners! That phone REQUIRED tweaking to get it to work smoothly (and for me, to get gps to work)
You could get the atrix, but there's not much tweaking/modding/flashing you can do with it due to a signed bootloader.

yeah, smashing it was a stupid thing to do.
cancelling your at&t contract will cost you a lot of money.

LOL, its crazy that someone has to go to those lenths to return a phone, but its true especially at stores like bestbuy its like ok so u want me to go in parking lot and run over it with my car a few times? then you will exchange it? and if u didnt have a problem with it why would u want a new one? Funny the smashing with baton part though.

^ he said, he was having problems.
i agree with others, you had 30 days to return it, i don't understand why you didn't just do that, and get another phone.

Right on... I also think $10 a month is crazy expensive.
For me, the Inspire has been a dream. Super stable... super fast... and I really haven't felt the need to root it.. yet.

yea, $10 a month is nuts, i only paid $50 for the entire phone!

I don't think any of your understood, lol. Best Buy refused to take it back because it was working fine in front of them. And I did literally say to the kid working there, "So if I take it out in the parking lot and run it over with my truck, you guys will take it back?" He replied, "Do what you gotta do, if you come in tomorrow with a broken phone I'll act like I didn't see you come in today."
BTW I paid full price for the phone ($450ish).

You can return it for ANY reason within 30 days. Doesn't have to be broken.

I dont think bestbuy will do a swap without something wrong with it that they can see that isnt walmart. Not all stores are easy to work with. sure he could have returned it but that is a restocking fee

That's what I was thinking. I didn't want to push the issue and get the manager involved only to deny me getting a new phone. Then, I show up a few days later with a broken phone anyway. I will most likely be buying my next phone at Costco.

I had the same exact same problem... out the blue signal went to ****.. took it back to the At&t store of course it worked fine..lol .. got a new one hope it don't happen again... the people at the at&t store were like "I never seen the H without a the +"

Restocking fees no longer apply at best buy, and their return policy does not say something has to be wrong.

My Assurion Experience

Ok, so I've never had insurance on a phone, but thought I should with this phone, and I'm glad I did.
Needing a replacement, I started a claim online. The paperwork was pretty straight forward. I faxed them back, then talked to a rep (their site went down and I could not check on my claim) I received my phone the next day, that simple. I cannot tell you how easy it was and how happy I am I took out the insurance, now.
I am only telling you all this b/c anyone 'on the fence' about insurance, really shouldn't be. To me, at this point with a 5-600$ phone, no question, and to make matters better...it was soooo easy.
there was one little 'hook'. when I opened the battery door, the void sticker was activated. So, this was a refurb, <which I expected> but when I called to make sure Assurion knew this and had it noted in my account, the rep put me on hold to 'talk to her supervisor'. She had me on hold for about 10 minutes when she came back and said that the replacement came from VZ, not Assurion, and that it should NOT have been a refurb.
This phone works just fine and I'm happy with it, and frankly just happy to have a tbolt back. So, I opted to keep it and not have another shipped. Besides, they give you a 1 year warranty starting when you receive your replacement.
Again, I'm just writing this here because if anyone is thinking about getting the insurance, I can testify that their service is A+, everyone on the phone was great and the process was much easier than I thought it would be.
Hope this helps someone else.....

This is good to know. My tb is fine sorta. I haven't met anyone who's TB kills battery like mine buy that may be how I use mine. The finish on my kickstand is peeling and my kickstand is bent and won't fully close. I was thinkin of breakin my screen so I can get a replacement from insurance but people here get butt hurt about that kinda stuff for stupid reasons. Anyways its good to know. I have had insurance on my phones for the past 6 years or so but I never have used it

Getting a new Incredible 2 to replace an Incredible that i got when my son broken his Incredible last November
Last week His Incredible overheated
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

My only issue with using a claim through them is that after i receive the phone from them, it completely invalidates my warranty from verizon... meaning if after a month the replacement phone stops working and i goto a VZW store, they say "Oh well you got this from Asurion, so you need to call them for a warranty replacement".
Very inconvenient.... however better than paying full retail for a replacement.

Not really make a folder call it phone claim put all your info in email online.
Phone craps out go back to your saved email folder open saved info which will hyperlink to phone claim online track a package do the second option on the screen answer the questions talk to a rep answer their questions.
Takes a little time,and the Vzw Store would end up ordering u a phone anyways,plus I hate the Corp. Stores,Ive got more pull with the phone Reps.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App

How long have you owned the phone before needing to replace it? I never bothered to get insurance because even if I broke my phone the day I bought it, I could buy another one for probably $300-400 on ebay/paypal, then resell it once I'm eligible for an upgrade to a newer phone. The difference between the two is less than paying assurion their monthly fee+deductible, and certainly less if I can go for at least 3-6 months without ruining the phone.

I also used a claim when I put my blackberry in with my books and threw the backpack in the truck of my car after finals one semester.
Verizon made me do a claim since it was physical damage.
It was a quick and easy thing, apart from the deductible.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App

I had a great experience with Asurion too. I had my Tbolt not even 3 months when I forgot it was on my lap when I got out of my hubby's truck. It didn't look too bad after it hit the concrete, but the earpiece no longer worked. I submitted a claim online that night and had a new phone by noon the next day. It was quick and easy, and I don't know if the replacement phone was new or refurbished, but it was in perfect condition in an original box and worked great. I also got an extra battery, sd card, and charger out of the deal. I have always had the insurance since I have had smartphones, but this was the first time I had even used it. Very good experience.

I had asurion insurance till I switched to best buy insurance for mobile phones. I shattered my screen on my tbolt I went to bestbuy and they ordered a NEW one. Had to wait like 3 days or so for me to receive it, but no deductible and only 10 bucks a month. Not trying to make a commercial for bb here but I was increasingly satisfied with it. I know with asurion u pay a deductible of 100 or so and you might end up with a refurb phone. So I was very satisfied with bb insurance.

Okay so do u really think the $90 deductable is a lot? Seriously I would rather pay the $90 than $500+. N its not like they throw away the damaged device. I'm sure they fix it, test it and use it as another replacement phone. Seriously some of u guys get way too butt hurt over this. Insurance fraud is wrong yes but this is just a phone, just a phone. And the deductables have gone up because phones are becoming more sophisticated and more expensive. U can't seriously think you could get a $500+ phone replacement for only $50....

I normally go through Verizon first and try to get the phone replaced under the manufacturer's warranty. If that doesn't work than I file the claim. Only phone I've had to pay a deductible on was my BB Storm that I dropped in the toilet.

This makes me glad I purchased the insurance. Was on the fence when I got the phone. I've read nothing but good things and they don't seem to care if the phone is rooted or not.
Kind of annoying to hear VZW is sending refurbished phones when they are supposed to be sending new for Warranty replacement.

Value of a S4g

What is a good price to pay for a Galaxy s4g with no damage? However, it has no back cover or battery.

Check your area craigslist and see what people want for them. Around Baltimore people usually are asking 200 to 250. I would find the local selling price, subtract the cost of a new battery and then another 20 and go from there.
But why is it missing a back and battery anyway?

The phone was evidently an insurance replacement. It seems to be a pretty good deal. Think I might have to buy it so I can get my girlfriend off my back about her having to use the old mytouch 3g.

Just be careful though. What if he's keeping the good one and selling you the bad one?
IMO buy another battery so you can test out the phone.
- Download an app that tests the touch screen and it's multi-touch capabilities.
- Play some music through the speakers to make sure they work.
- Make a call to amke sure the outside party can hear you.
- And make sure both camera's work.
I know it's a little tedious, but it's better than getting screwed.

Good points mackster.
My brother has the same phone so I had planned to steal his battery and test it out. Hopefully it is the actual refurb.

pay via paypal and have whoever you are buying it from describe the phone in detail. if it doesnt work, you can easily get your money back

Does anyone know if the battery for the Galaxy is the same as Verizon's Fascinate?

Its not.

If Ashurion is out of stock of your phone, they will replace it with another 4g phone if you ask.
My brother's Fascinate broke a couple months ago, they replaced it with a brand new Droid X2 just a week after it came out.
I'd recommend aiming for the Bionic.
Good luck

The bright side is that the Bears won!

Honestly, asurion is gonna charge you 90 bucks to replace it.
And a new digitizer is only 30. I have gotten ripped off by asurion too many times.

I can't believe people still pay for insurance. It's a scam and way too expensive for the service they provide.

Plus deductible. If you drop a phone and truly break it, it's probably because you didnt have a proper case on a $600 item. But most breaks occur to the digitizer....$30 and extremely easy to fix. Your local mom and pop computer shops will throw those things in for you for less than your deductible.
I'm not trying to knock anyone for paying for insurance...but those companies aren't in it to lose money. And everyone forgets about their warranty. We've sent a couple phones back for repairs and get them back within 3 days of HTC receiving them.
But losing a $600 phone...well that would be the only good thing I can see coming out of it. But cmon...if you lose a $600 phone from being careless ya kind of get what you deserve. Laptops cost less than that now. Gotta hold yourself to some kind of responsibility.

Well, I got my replacement, all is well. Sure, 99 sucks, but got to keep the battery and memory card, so now I have two of each, put the memory card in my flyer.

j/k...bummer your screen broke. Glad you got your replacement already!

Well now that you got your replacement phone, this would be a good time for you to do one of those screen replacement kits so that you have a backup phone and then you might decide to even drop your insurance on your current phone to save $$$.

You don't get to keep the old phone, you have to send that back. Otherwise, definately would have fixed the screen and kept as back up.

[Q] g2x replacement?

Hello, all.
I've recently broken my g2x beyond repair--physically that is. I've been using my girlfriend's g2x and before I contact t-mobile for a replacement (I have premium handset protection plan) I wondered if anyone had recently tried to replace their phone using the same method?
Two questions follow:
Was your phone replaced with another g2x, or a phone similar to it?
Was there an option to pay the difference for a phone upgrade?

If you go through Assurion, you need to call them and ask for a different model. We filed a claim online and got another G2x.
If you're going through T-Mobile, you have to get three replacements in six months before they'll offer a different model

I can confirm this mine broke a few months ago and online all they offered was g2x so I called and asked and they offered me a HTC oneS came brand new in box with new micro sim and I am loving it very stable.

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

I called asurion and filed a claim today.
They said they could only send out a different phone if the same model phone is not available; I didn't want to push the issue since I'd be getting a new phone anyway.
the deductible was $130

Didn't want to create a new thread so I'll post here. My G2X recently started sensing the headphones even when non are plugged in which doesn't allow me to call without using the speaker. I went to a T-Mobile store and the representative there, after checking if my phone has been rooted off-course, said that for $5 I will get a replacement in 2 days which is a "much better" phone. What I got in the mail is a G2, which is a) 6 months older b) has a smaller screen c) has a single core processor d) has a slower wireless modem - I can go on and on, but the point is it's not an equivalent phone. This was the first problem I had with my G2X in 1 year and 9 months of owning it, so by all means replace it with another one or something that is better. I am going back to t-mob today, but I am not holding my breath. I'll keep people posted on the results of my expedition. Any insight into this matter is greatly appreciated.

Keep is posted, interested in seeing what they do for you....of anything at all

maybe treat it as an honest mistake on their part at first. I'd be surprised if they stuck with the verdict that you deserve a G2. You didn't tell us what replacement plan you had or what warranty you were using to get it fixed. Also, usually the headphone issue can be fixed with compressed air or a straw brush or q-tip dipped in alcohol to clean off the contacts, which can register a headset when nothing is in there.
tell them you want your G2X back if nothing else. It's probably worth more with the headset issue than the G2 new.

Didn't get a chance to stop by yesterday, so we'll see what they say today. I am an electrical engineer so I can easily fix this issue, I just think if I pay $7.99(premium handset protection) I should be able to use it - especially since my wife and I have paid it for 2 phones for almost 2 years. I came straight to the store and the T- Mobile representative filed the claim for me - so since it was only $5 shipping I assume the replacement is direct from T-Mobile.

Well, as expected, the T-Mobile rap agreed that the G2 is inferior, called customer service to see what they can do and and they said - "too bad-so sad." After that, he said that the only thing he can recommend is calling customer loyalty(I'll try it but I am not holding my breath). So the bottom line is, T-Mobile stole $400 of my money over 2 years for 2 phones since the protection plan did absolutely nothing for me even when my device broke. I am sending the G2 back and that's that. TMobile offers the cheapest service, especially if I have 3 lines with unlimited data and a 10% discount I can get through work, so I really doubt I'll switch to something else.

Well, finally after 2 visits to the T-mobile store and contacting customer loyalty department twice - the first time I was promised I will get a replacement G2X - and the order was never filed - I got a nice shiny refurbished LG L9. It's not the greatest phone, but it sure as heck beats the G2 and is definitely better then the G2X. Not sure why this was so hard to do in the first place?

Glad you got a new rig man!!
