Is it worth getting? Has anyone experienced it? A wealthy friend of mine has decided to buy it for me, and if it works well, he's going to get it for his Skyrocket/S3. I'm the Guinea pig.
I also have spare batteries, should I send those in as well? Do I need to send my case in too?

sounds like an insurance scam to me. for the same $60, you can buy the VZW insurance at $5/month for 12 months.

But you can use it in WAAATER. I'm not expecting any magical underwater capabilities but if I can use it in the shower (more specifically I don't have to be worried about getting wet on the pool deck) that would be cool.

meh. maybe if the phone cost you several hundred dollars and you plan on keeping it for another 2 years..... but not worth protecting the Charge IMHO.
i've never really been that hard pressed to use my phone in the shower. what concerns me is that they do NOT recommend that you test it but dunking it in water.... understandable, but still.

probably not - as it requires me to send my phone in to a company I don't know. despite their "tracking" system. even if I was there, I'm still not a fan of putting a foreign substance on my phone that could cause it to malfunction. basically, I do not see the reward outweighing the risk in this matter.
Well I just bought it. Rather, my friend did. I'm shipping it out later today. Wish me luck.

Nice... is it basically like a razr now?
I "tested" by pouring a water bottle cap full into the battery compartment...continues to function normally so I guess it works. Too much of a pansy to test more than that though.
Weird thing is, it tripped the water detection paper when I checked it later, at the time that I did it, the label didn't turn pink.

Pansy? Seems like you really want a new phone

IMO, I would use Liquipel as something of a prevention for one of those "oh ****" moments. I wouldn't go out of my way to test it out as I'm guessing that the extent of it's protection is mainly to keep water out long enough for you to retrieve your phone. For free, I would get it if I had another phone to use in the meantime, or if I could get it done locally. But, I probably wouldn't pay for it unless I was planning on keeping my phone for 2+ years.

Mine is too but I think im going to wait till winter to upgrade. Big mistake last year when I upgraded in august... missed bionic by 3 weeks and if i had waited i would have a razr/nexus/rezound. Charge->razr/nexus/rezound is a way bigger upgrade than razr/nexus/rezound->gs3 (summer) in my opinion. Same with like droid x/droid 2 /fascinate (or whatever was the best back then I dont really know) -> charge, tb, revolution. Just added 4g (similar internals though).
Yeah, I'll be looking at the expected phones when I get closer. Problem is, I probably won't be able to get a winter phone since I'll be in college.
I still think my Charge was the best choice at the time I had to upgrade. I didn't have any time to wait since they were ending unlimited data.

I got a free G2x from a buddy. phone's water damage stickers are red but he cant remember it ever getting soaked in water. He found the phone dead and then we noticed the stickers. the phone wont turn on and since I know LG or T-Mobile wont exchange it I figured id try to repair it myself. A friend told me that I should open it and clean the corrosion with some rubbing alcohol but I cant find any help online? Has anybody tried to do that to G2x or any phone for that matter? Any help would be appreciated
The phone is most likely dead..
I know I'm going to hear some **** for what I'm about to say but when has that ever stopped me.
I'm not going to give you specifics or tell you what I would do but those water damage indicators can be replaced. You can find them multiple places online. After you replace them, its up to you to decide what to do.
Have a good day.

Yup, that's how I imagined the comments would look like. I'm just glad you beat them to it.

lol I know right... That riptide is the ****. Graphics are amazing on that game. I really think the tegra is a great cpu/gpu combo. Honestly looking at the photon @ 1ghz tegra and a skin vs the htc 3d and its 1.2 snapdragon with a skin, the photon just seems to out perform it in anything.
You could shed more light as you got rid of sense on the sensation. So both stock say bump the tegra to 1.2ghz, which one performs the best? At the same clock speed?

If you'd like to take the honest way out, there is a complete photo disassembly guide here.
Riptide is way cool on my 55" Sony. I gotta get a longer HDMI cable though, 6 foot ain't long enough.
P.S. Anyone who would receive a damaged phone for free then conceal the damage and attempt to return the phone for a new one is a thief pure and simple. If there were any justice at all those actions would result in prosecution and incarceration.
Perhaps you should make your way to a public square where you can smash the windows out of a T-Mobile store and just take whatever you want. After all, those rich bastards deserve it don't they?
We are doomed.

Not to be an ass, but isn't LG a thief? They sold us a phone with software that is horrible. Some of us who rely on our phones for simple task such as an alarm are late for work when the phone freezes. T-Mobile sold most of us a so called unlimited plan, but we get data throttled. T-Mobile claims 21+mbps, but no one has seen speeds anywhere close to that. I guess everyone is a thief. To each his own.

I agree, T-Mo has been less than honest with us. They should suffer the consequences of that breach of trust.
Not only will stealing from T-Mo make it harder and more expensive on the rest of us, but also the simple truth is... two wrongs don't make a right.

You're definitely right about two wrongs don't make it right, but I highly doubt that T-Mobile will buckle down that much on phones getting replaced especially since they know that the G2x has ton of software issues. The best thing T-Mobile and LG can do is to just make it right. It wasn't for the devs on XDA then we'd be ass'd out.

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?

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.

if you have insurance through Asurion... then yes!
I dropped my HTC Aria off a balcony one night while enjoying some beverages and it broke into half a dozen pieces. I went online and filed a claim through Asurion's website. $50 later... I was sent a Samsung Infuse!
I was very happy... nice little upgrade for me!
Be careful, because if you file another claim within the same year... they will cancel your insurance and you will be SOL if it happens again... So only throw your phone at the wall once every year or so

I threw a phone against a wall once (never argue with a woman over the phone). I was ready to pay full price for a new phone (because i was stupid). Since i had insurance on the phone the ATT guy told me to file a claim and report it as lost/stolen.. I did it and paid my $50 deductible and got a replacement phone.
I don't recommend to anyone to do this but if you have the insurance you may as well use it..

Mehhh I'm not really sold on the Note yet. I've been looking at it, but I dunno.
It's a possibility
My phone decided it wanted to go for a swim on the 4th and is dead. Tried bag of rice to no avail. I have the insurance and was given the choice of the HTC Sensation or Galaxy S2. Went with the Galaxy.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to everyone on this forum for the awesome ROM work and support over the last year or so. It's too bad we can't get the display drivers API from LG so we can get some ICS with working video love, but oh well.
Again, just want to thank everybody. I will now be hanging in the Galaxy S2 forums until my full discount comes into effect in February and I can get the S3.

I called in and asked them what the replacement was. They said that the G2x is discontinued and not available as a replacement, so they gave me the option to choose between the SG2 and the HTC Sensation. When I said the SG2, they even gave me the option to choose between Black or White. I chose black.

Similar situation here. They apologized that the g2x wasn't available and offered me a Sensation. I played it off as I hadn't heard of that phone before and asked if she'd mind waiting a minute while I looked at the phone online. She said sure and that I should check out the GS2 as well, that was another alternative. I said I was familiar with that and chose it, opted for white

Yea and he more then likely had to pay. That's just how T-Mobile does. Anything aside from hardware defaults you have to pay about 100-130 not sure exact price

If you have insurance call them up tell them what happened and they will either offer you a different phone like gs2 or the same for that 100ish. I needed a new phone but they didn't offer me the gs2 they just sent me the same. But then again it was a free exchange so who knows

I had to pay too, said the phone was acting up, battery dropping quickly, had to pull battery constantly. I also told them that I stooped at my TMobile store and they suggested I call them.
I've had to pay in the past too, fire a charging port issue. I believe you always have to pay, no matter what happened. I received a refurbished phone, perfect condition.

It was $130, and worth it. Stable Ics ROM, larger screen which is beautiful and works great outdoors.

Do you think Samsung will ever put Ice Cream Sandwich on the charge or we stuck with Gingerbread? if not, Will the developers here ever be able to develop ICS for the charge? The reason I ask is because the new Verizon contracts eliminate unlimited data and in order to keep it, I'm looking at buying phones outright to avoid signing a new contract. I know things can change between now and next spring when I become upgrade eligable, but I don't feel so lucky.
If Verizon does not change plans do you think it's worth looking at Sprint or is this a downgrade network and/or equipment wise?

ICS is working on the phone...sorta. CM9 is almost fully functional, but there's no mobile data, so it isn't usable as a daily driver. For it to become fully functional, the RIL needs to be fully cracked, and there's just no motivation for devs to work that hard on the RIL this phone. It's bleeding users (me including), and no other phones (other than some prepay variants) use the same radios, so there's really not much to gain. I don't think jt has given up, but I just don't think it's a priority.
I'd bet money that Samsung/Verizon will never release ICS. There isn't enough room for a TouchWiz version of ICS on /system, and you can bet that they won't release a Google Experience version.
Edit: You can do like I did and check out swappa.com. I bought a used device from there and had a fantastic shopping experience and got a great phone in great condition for a fair price. Can't say enough good things about that site.
Thanks. I kind of expected as much. This phone is getting kind of old. I still have it as I refuse to upgrade if I don't have to.

I'm in the same boat right now. I have unlimited data and don't want to give it up, but paying for an un-subsidized phone is just insane. Really wish we had ICS on our phones, but I'm still hoping and praying that a dev could help us poor souls

Its not insane. Your full retail phone will give you peace of mind. Never having nightmares waking up at 4am in a cold sweat because you dreamed having gone over your data by 20gb. I sold my charge for 200 bought my sgs3 for 500 .

Craigslist. Bought myself a gnex for 250 and an s3 for 375.

It's a good idea to ask to use it wherever you're picking it up so you can make sure it's functional.

That doesn't mean you're the only one that can read the reply. In an open discussion, responses are read/heard by everyone, and things said can often be more for the benefit of everyone else rather than the person it's directed at. It's a very common debate tactic to speak to the audience through your opponent, but it's useful in any open discussion. He quoted you because yours was the most relevant post.
Plus, you were talking about being scared of being taken on CL, so he was offering some very relevant advice.

No worries, I'm not giving up my unlimited data for an upgrade. I just can't fathom dropping $300+ on a new phone as I've always paid ssubsidized prices with contract
