Getting a One S for free!!!! - HTC One S

So I have an HTC Sensation right now. Been with T-mobile for many many years. Saw the ad for the free black one s online yesterday and figured I'd try and get it. Well when I tried to upgrade it said i had to pay $150. Called tmobile customer service and they hooked me up! Apparently she couldnt get me a black one. I was a little bummed about that, but shes shipping me the gray blue one for $150 with a $150 mail in rebate. Sweeeet!

This wasnt free

I guess you're talking about your color preference, because the specs are the same.

Or maybe referring to the ceramic housing which is supposedly stronger and more durable than the aluminum that we have on our gradient blue ...

Why don't you send it to HTC instead? They know about the problem, they'll fix it.

Hey fellas and fellerinas.
My name is Apex, and I'm an alcoholic.
(Just kidding, but seriously)
I recently won a One S from the Big Android BBQ here in Texas. I like it, but have found a few issues with it. It's a 'global' unlocked, unbranded version, and it's pretty sweet.
Any how, just thought I'd introduce myself and hope you guys will go easy on me...

How much T-Mobile charges to get the screen fixed

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$.

Edit: After thinking about it, you would need the LCD not the touch. I did not see any but if you look a bit harder then I did you may find them. But let us know what you do.

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'm guessing he's just dumb. He got the parts from HTC by lying though. So maybe he's a dumb liar?
Lol yeah, seeing as even if the said person in need of a battery, they can purchase Anker for 10 +sh or chichitech for 30 (2 included) +sh or he'll an OEM one for 30... Back is 10 simple math dictates you have 40 dollars fair market value priced goods, so a 100% profit or 200% ( assuming you received them for free) shows your greed. I'm aware it's a trade but you are still creating a redic profit margin, op needs to stick to craigslist for scamming, XDA people should be smarter than to fall for this dumb stuff. PM me if you need help replacing your OEM parts or need to buy them for cheap.
OP IS A SILLY SILLY CROOK.

So much hope, and all down the toilet

First time when UPS was about to deliver myTouch 4G from Tmo, the message on the website appeared after 9pm:
"THE PACKAGE WAS MISSED AT THE UPS FACILITY, UPS WILL DELIVER ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY"
The phone had some defects and a bad screen - I sent it for the exchange.
Today I was about to get the new phone, guess what?
The apartment number is missing or is incorrect. UPS is attempting to obtain this information.
I am about to explode!

Nothing wrong here. Three replacements sent next day delivery all arrived as scheduled. I live in a house though, so maybe its easier for them to deliver it? It sounds like a ups issue, not a t mobile one...

Mine was just a replacement "withing first 30 days." I guess if this one is defective too, I would not want to play the roulette and will get Sensation.
Update: second mytouch 4g. One little piece of dust underneath the screen. I think I had it.
Where one lint, there will be another right?
I think I will get sensation.

I don't see how this is a problem. The MT4G is a premium product and something like dust under the screen I would consider DOA. This is still a 400 dollar phone buying from tmo

DUST SUCKS. In high light when you are reading or watching something on your phone it is absolutely terrible even if you have a bit of dust
I might be in the same boat as you. On my third warranty replacement in 2 weeks, and I'm getting a seriousl wifi death grip issue. Sucks so bad, because other than that I love this phone. Called T-Mobile and explained the situation to them, and they offered me a G2. wtf.

Agreed.. I have dust under my screen but in no way does it impede viewing the screen. It's something I've experienced with every device I've ever had, and I never cared.

Black TMo One-S is here, picture inside.

Look what showed up at my work today.
It came directly from HTC for specific reps who won phones from HTC in April. I'd imagine they are releasing them very shortly since we received them as prizes today. Mine should be here in a few days and I'll check software versions to see if there are any differences.

No way!!!??! I shouldve waited...oh well lets see if the coating lasts like the international one
Sent from HTC one s
Well when i had talked to one of the higher ups at HTC in March, he said they planned on releasing the Black version at launch, but since the coating had the chipping issues they decided to delay it till they fixed it.
Hopefully this was the actual reason, and we don't have any chipping issues on these phones. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow or day after.
Ok cool thx, I wanna see if they fixed the problem

Cool. I'll check periodically.
My wife fell in love with the black model. She's still holding on to her GS2 and doesn't care for the GS3 or anything equal in size.

Anyone need a replacement top / bottom cover for their T-Mobile HTC One S?

I've got one of each (one top and one bottom cover) for the T-Mobile One S. They're brand new, never been used. Figured there'd be someone out there that's dropped a One S already. Purchased for my One S for that reason but I ended up going a different route. These just came in the mail today and I have no use for them.
Ebay listings I purchased them from:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15084680582...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648#ht_1010wt_1254
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15084630866...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648#ht_1155wt_1254
$20 shipped to anyone in the US. If you need help figuring out how to take that bottom cover off just lmk. It's pretty easy.
I'm very interested. My top half is loose and squeaks, kind of bugging me. EVERY HTC phone i've bought squeaks.. lol
Paypal? I'll need to run out to walmart to put money on my card.
I'll be able to pay later tonight or tomorrow afternoon.
