[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.

[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.

Is that through the insurance or through the warranty replacement from t mobile?

Through assurion insurance had to pay the 130$ premium but well worth it to get away from the g2x.

Actually it wasn't...the thread has been talking about the insurance replacement not about the T-Mobile warranty exchange program...they are two completely different things.
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!!

Bought a bricked one S. Can I fix it?

Hey One S community. I hope this will be my new home. I currently have a Samsung galaxy vibrant so the One S would be a huge update (original snapdragon so the s4). Anyways, I bought a like new condition HTC one S which will not boot. Apparently the guy was attempting to unlock the boot loader and ended up wiping the phone. The phone will power up to the HTC screen so fast boot should be accessible. I'm hoping to reflash it with the T-Mobile RUU. I played 170$ for it. What are my odds of this phone being bricked forever?

Waiting to see if I can. Is there any known situations where you wouldn't be able to? (assuming hardware is perfect). The guy claims that he can get into the bootloader and I can't see any situations where I couldn't fix it. If there is something he didn't tell me I should be fine as eBay buyer protection says that all his comments on the sale must be "in good faith" and not sneaky.
this was his item description: The phone is soft bricked, it will only boot to the htc logo. The bootloader needs to be re-locked in order to get it working. The phone is in excellent condition with no signs of wear, no charger included.

Sure wish I had seen your ad then . There seems to be a real bubble on the pricing of these phones. Check out ebay, for anything in new condition it is 300+ and anything with heavy use or moderate scratching is in the 230-250 range. I thought 170$ for a phone that seems a likely fix and is in mint condition is pretty good. I've always admired the One S as a phone anyways. Oh and the nexus 4 is out of stock all the time. here is some ebay reference, these are the last few One S's sold, I am the 165$: http://www.ebay.com/csc/Cell-Phones...Sold=1&_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=htc+one+s

Can you load anything to memory from computer? If so you need to relock bootloader and flash ruu. There are guides here that explain what to do. On my phone and there is more to type than my pointer finger had the energy for on this phone

Vanilla like cm10 with no sense, or the virtuous with sense and jb?

I'd say vanilla CM10 no paranoidandroid or anything. I tend to be a purist. if theres any other aosp roms that'd be good too. also how's the state of android 4.2? can you direct me to the right threads?

There is an unofficial for 4.2 but I'd go with the mist recent nightly here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799139

Thanks. I ended up going with cm10 because while I loved 4.2 on my vibrant, camera is important to me. great phone so far. The amoled screen is a little of putting with the colorful edges on the text.

Asurion insurance claim - typical?

My wife's S3 was run over. She called to file a claim and was told they are out of stock and that it could be 5-7 days before they have something to send her. They also said they could not offer a different phone, because nothing was shown in their system as a comparable replacement. So for now, she's stuck with nothing.
This seems pretty terrible. Is this typical? I'm definitely going to be looking for an alternative insurance option when this is done.

thats unacceptable.

Just to add, I was talking to the Verizon manager in the call I reference above, and that manager refused to give me the name of their direct supervisor after basically telling me there was nothing that could be done on their end (except credit the account for days of service during which I'm waiting for the new phone). I am on hold with Asurion right now with a supervisor, but still being told nothing they can do to fix the situation.
Update: Asurion supervisor unable to help. Told them I'd be cancelling insurance on all 3 lines when this is resolved, posting about it on XDA, and submitting complaint to the BBB. Being transferred to the...CEO?

Definitely unacceptable, they are legally bind to replace you with an exact phone or comparable phone and note 2 is the only comparable phone to S3 unless they already have the s4, which I doubt.

Well they never mentioned the Note 2, just kept saying no S3 in stock and that there was nothing else comparable available as an option either. After that last transfer to the corporate office or something, I was again told the same thing but also offered the option to buy the S3 at a corporate Verizon store and get reimbursed minus deductible. So I took that offer and ultimately happy with that solution, but definitely not happy with the runaround and hassle.

For me, this is anything but typical. After this past weekend, I've filed four claims with them in the 3 years I've been their customer. Only once have they not had my device in stock, and the rep immediately suggested a comparable replacement. I know they don't always get the best reputation. However, I always get my claim filed fast with no hassle and the device always arrives very quickly.

Me and my GF both got replacement phones before the holidays. She broke hers and I cracked my screen. For both I told Asurion we lost them, cheaper fee and got phones the next day. Got to keep the extra parts too (batt door, batt). I would never tell them I broke the phone, they want the broken one back and its more expensive. Just pull the Sim and tell them u lost it. I use my old phone with the broken screen as a music player, and for WiFi. Screen still works its just cracked bad.

I thought about just reporting it missing, but phone was smashed enough that nothing was really usable. I also thought the deductible was the same regardless of damaged vs lost/stolen. At least that what it shows for me when I look up the deductible...

Did you file a claim online? Did they ask for any documentation or anything?

I ditched all insurance for both my wife and myself. I found that for $7/month and a deductible of $50-$100 I was way better off fixing the phone myself and dealing with it that way. Every experience I had with asurion when I did have them was a headache and the refurbished phones they replaced my phone with were always defective and needing another replacement. Replacement digitizer on my wife's Bionic was $30 with about 30 minutes of labor. Nothing compared to >$200 cost that would have come from asurion's "help".

The claims I've had with Asurion have usually been handled well. Even had an old droid incredible replaced with an incredible 2.

I had a claim on my sgs3 5 days after the release date because I dropped it snd the screen shattered. It was so new they had to send me a new one. Took 3 weeks!!!! I actually went and bought a new screen for it and had it working before I got my replacement.

Well, the screen on my One X died yesterday, and I was unable to revive it. After some wrangling with Customer Service, they're upgrading me early to a One. I'll probably drop in here from time to time, but I'm off to the One forums. Happy modding, and hope to see most of you over there eventually.

Tried to do that a few weeks ago when One XL #3 took a crap, but the One had just come out and it supposedly wasn't in the CSR's system. I ended up with XL #4, which, so far is working great (and is now rooted and S-off - hurray!).
Good luck with your One!

Thanks for the bootsplash ideas. Might come to the one sections to make some for it after I reign in sense 5.

This happened to me. Have you tried taking it apart and adjusting that cable that is bent at 90°? That worked for me, but the phone caught on for shortly after. enjoy the one. I'd get it if att wasn't conspiring with HTC to keep away the rooters, and I don't want to pay $650 since the nexus 4 is great for under 400

Att didn't trip about you sending back tampered phones ? (relocked bl)
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Nope. I did relock and RUU back to stock each time, but I didn't bother changing the CID back or anything. Heck, the most recent one was S-off.
I haven't had any ROM related issues, though. It was always hardware.

Id get the one also if I didn't have to pay $450 for a "partial upgrade" why pay that much to enter a BS contract when I can hopefully hold out till the nexus 5 rumors start. This will be the longest I've ever used a device as my primary phone lol

I have not read a single instance on here of AT&T denying warranty service, or even giving a poo at all, about unlocked bootloader or custom ROM being on a phone. But lots of reports of folks here successfully sending in "tampered" phones for warranty service on a hardware issue.

I'm thinking about it, but I'm not going to take it apart until I'm sure I'm sticking with the One and all is well.
FWIW, HTC is not blocking the One, whether or not AT&T ever plans to ask them to. Looks like the rumors were wrong.
The international One roms work great on the AT&T version. I don't think I'm ever going back to an AT&T base.
Also, the frustrating multitasking issues on the One X? Not a sign of them on the One. :victory:

Just dropped mine and the screen shattered the other day. Have ensquared so paying $75 to have another one sent to me.
Honestly a little bummed I couldn't get a Samsung gs3 (or onex+) shipped out instead, but ay least I'll still have a phone .

I honestly want it, but I don't think my contract is over with the one x until late this year, and I'd rather not pay the cancellation fee :\ or the $650 Google version with aosp or Dev version

Lots of people have gotten early upgrades by complaining loudly enough. I was at least six months early.

Agreed. I lost my phone about 6 months before my upgrade was due, and ATT was more than willing to send me a One X. I paid a whopping 99 cents for it

Did you guys have AT&Ts extra insurance, or is this the normal 1 year warranty? My battery has been really screwey recently, keeps getting drained really fast when the phone is sleeping. I'm wondering if I should just go make some noise.
