hi. i would like to know if anyone has filed a claim through asurion recently(2011) and actually got the same phone back or did they offer you something different? the reason i ask is because ive been hearing about asurion offering the vibrant and some been saying they will send u the n1. thx
Would like to know also

I tried to file a claim with them a few weeks ago and they told me I could have a vibrant or a mytouch 3G slide. They went on two say since the device is no longer made they dont stock it and it was a toss up if they would ever recieve anymore. So i just decided to get my N1 repaired it was actually cheaper than the 130 deductible they were asking for anyway. Hope this helps
Well it depends on who you are talking to. I am a T-Mobile RSA and the asurion rep for my store said that they would replace the N1 with a G2 or a Mytouch 4g. It just depends on who you talk to when you call. I asked the rep this because a friend of mine dropped his N1 in water and i was able to get him a Mytouch 4g as a replacement.
Well. Got my n1 replacement in last week with the g2 and had to be a jerk about it because asurian wanted to give me either the garmin phone or the mytouch slide... so if anyone files a claim for their n1, I suggest u be a jerk about it until u get what u want.

bump on this. Just dropped my phone in a lake.. sigh. Has anyone filed a claim lately? What did you get?
was offered the Vibrant.. should i take it or push for mytouch 4g? or other?
Anything even more recent? I guess I'm about to find out because I just submitted a claim. I'm curious as to what they'll try to replace it with. I doubt they have many of those Vibrants left, if any.
Edit: In case anyone is curious, it's still the Vibrant.

So if since the G1 was discontinued, did T-Mobile ever say "were pulling the plug on G1 updates" ?
Or does discontinuing a phone send that kind of message?

No dis-respect, but where the hell you been ?
Yeah, your done. If your @ 1.6, that's it.
Flash something, it's well worth it.
Currently running Froyo 2.2 on a G1. That's "my" update.
If you don't know how, read the forums. You'll learn a lot like I did.
You don't have to be mean to the kid.
But yea when they say discontinued they meant that they are not selling it anymore. I also believed they are not doing the updates for it either. You can always call T-mobile and ask them they are usually friendly.
So if you are here asking this question then I am assuming that you already took into consideration of rooting your phone. Which at this point you should =] There are so many roms for you to choose from.
My question is if something happens to your phone i.e screen break, will they replace your g1 (under your protection plan) or upgrade you to a new phone for free? and i don't mean a brand new phone btw.
Wasn't trying to be mean, sorry if taken that way.
Assuming you have insurance, t-mo would give you a discount on a different phone after the deductable was covered, which I believe is $150.00 I asked that question when I bought the insurance for 5 phones.
Dropped, broken, lost, stolen or thrown against the wall. If your sim card's in it, it's covered.

Actually, the sales guy gave me all that info.
Lost my 1st G1 getting out of a truck.
Belt loop cases from now on, absolutely no clip cases.
Oh yea i know i have cm6 !
i was just wondering since they said they might update the mytouch 3g to froyo?
Alright y'all, it's time to upgrade the ol' Hero and turn it into the GSII. Bbbuuuttttt I don't want to necessarily pay the full amount, and I'm not due for a full upgrade yet (not till March... poo). I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not Sprint is still stocking refurb'd Hero's? And, if they are not, I'll need to undo all my rooting and return it to stock. This way I could have something else until my upgrade rolls around... I have to reboot at least 3-4x a day. It currently runs CM7 with Collin ph Battery Tweak. Can anyone lend a hand? Thanks much
Sprint stopped stocking the hero over the summer I don't even think radio shack has it anymore

He's actually more interested to see if Assurion still has refurbed Hero's. Send Hero in on TEP and hope for an upgrade. Anyone send there's in lately?
Also, just reflash CM7 (there's probably been two or three upgraded versions since your last flash) and that might solve some of the need to reboot. But really, just tell J she owes you a phone and make her buy you the Touch!

lol! Thanks B. She's actually mad that I'm trying to do everything possible from having to buy the damn thing for full price. Is she great or what?! I'll reflash Friday...maybe. Have any plays that day? Maybe we could get together?
And yes, to all others, he's correct that I want to know if they're still refurbing them. I wonder if I could just call and ask?

Don't know why you couldn't call and ask, not like they are going to track ya down and send an assassin for asking.
I work at Sprint. I want to say no, especially since if you were to send in an HTC Evo 4G to Assurion, you'd get a 3D back (100% sure). But I did have one customer with a Hero come in with his refurb Hero with the plastic still on it and everything and have me transfer his stuff to it.

I called Assurion yesterday and they couldn't give me an answer as to what phone I'd get in return. Then again, I'd have to pay $100 to get said mystery phone anyway.
IF you go to phoneclaim.com, and fill in your info, before you submit the claim, it tells you what you will get. But you do have to pay $100 this way. If you take it to the Sprint store, and they have to order a replacement phone, you won't know what you get until the tech pulls it out of the envelope. That's how I went from the Evo 4G, to the Evo 3D. But don't be shocked if you get another Hero.
Just took mine into sprint last week. They replaced it with another hero.
They did give me a couple other phones that I could get instead (for free and without using my upgrade... which I've been eligible for for over a year) but I would have to add the $10 data to my plan.
No thanks, took the hero and it rooted and running heroc before I got home.

That's exactly why I haven't upgraded also! $10 extra! No way. Long live the hero

It depends on what they have in stock at the moment you order, so it can change by the hour. And on phoneclaim.com you can see what Asurion is offering before you confirm the order. So you can cancel the order if you don't want the phone.
I am on my 3rd phone with poor GPS aquisition, browser freezes, email being pushed when it is not supposed to and a really odd thing where hitting the "on" button causes my phone to jump back and forth between music and dialing my last call or received number--only when my headphones are plugged in. It does not look like the update has targeted any of those. They offered a razr as a swap out but am going to the darkside. Ipone on the way and I will be "clouding" with my new macbook.
Too bad really since the bionic concept seemed to be outstanding for me.
On another note VZ just moved my update up to get the iphone so I have to pay the regular upgrade price. No credit give for the $200 I already spent on the bionic. I asked them what do I do with a phone that will not work properly...she actually told me to sell it on ebay or craigslist.. A customer service rep actually telling me to sell one of their faulty products to some other poor sap.
Can't tell if your bragging or complaining.
I don't want to jump the gun, but I don't think you'll be missed by many? Judging from your rep count, I don't think you're a developer or anything.
But anyway, buh bye!
good luck on a i****
I had that problem with my t bolt. They kept telling me they'll give me an early upgrade, but what about the $250 I already spent? Does that not mean I get a working phone for spending $250 and signing a new 2 year contract? Nope, you can keep getting crappy phones or pay more. Finally after 6 thunderbolts I got upgraded to a bionic.

Wow very well put!
I was plagued by Bionic data problems. 901 Was the first rom that actually addressed it for me.
But now 902 Has fixed data100 percent! So love affair with my BIONIC is back.
He can take his $lowa$$ iphone and shove it up his brown i.
Does everyone have to tell us bye when they get a new phone? I've never been part of a.community that people feel the need to tell everyone bye when they get a new phone.
On a side note, I wouldn't care if Verizon offered me an early upgrade because I want what I already paid for to work, not spend more to get something that works. I would just keep returning the phone until they offered me a different phone, not an early upgrade that I have to spend more money on. After so many replacements, I would tell them I want something different because I have no confidence that they can send me one that works, and if they don't, I will buy out the contract and switch to sprint. Last thing they want is for you to buy out the contract and switch to the competition. You have to go through a few replacements first though for it to work. Verizon replaced my Droid Eris with a Droid 2 that way (I had.to buy the battery, back cover, and charger though because they don't send those out with replacement phones)

I'm okay with the Bionic for now. I spend too much money on it. Bought the extended bat, wireless charger, lapdock, bat dock.....
Bio's good. Only issue for me is the locked bootloader that delays rom creation.

Even if it had an unlocked bootloader, we're not guaranteed to have more roms. There are phones out there with unlocked bootloaders and still get very little development. I think that Verizon releasing better phones right afterwards has a lot to do with us not getting more.development, along with the bootloader being locked.
The LG revolution has been out since last may and has an unlocked bootloader, and we have just as many if not more roms than they do. If you want a solid development community, you have to go with an HTC phone or a nexus.

Hi guys I thought the other day I would give LG live chat a go in the States and asked them about the ghost call problem, the said they hadn't heard of this issue before ???? really ?????
Just interested if someone else with the GC issue could do this as well and see if this is the general responce from them.
Be really interested to see if LG is hiding it or if their internal comunications are of the same standard as thier GB firmware
I called AT&T today about ghost calls... they were confused. After talking a lot to the service person eventually they called LG. LG claimed that they had only heard from a small number of people about the issue. Supposedly if they get more complaints they will make it a higher priority.
Also if you are really lucky you might score the same deal I got... AT&T is sending me a brand new SGSII for free, waiving my upgrade fee, and waiving the cost of the phone
I am happy for you that they made you happy by giving you an SGS2, but I personally would prefer to stick with the Thrill 4G myself. I just want it to work the way it is supposed to. It's ridiculous that it cannot keep time any more.
Thanks thrill_seeker, good to hear your weren't the first person with this fault. Just put an order in for a Galaxy Nexus today , love the 3d but at the end of the day a phone needs to be a phone, funny that.
Yea I agree about the phone being a phone deal...I mean this is my personal and business phone. I can't have ghost calls. The time keeping thing has also become annoying as well. Anyways I still plan on using the Thrill for random things but the SGSII will definitely become my everyday phone.

What department offered the free phone?
And what did you tell them when they asked how you could confirm you were getting ghost calls?
Sent from my CM7 Thrill
I pointed out the obvious that it is impossible to know if you are having ghost calls or not. But I have had several people get ahold of me and complain that I'm not answering there calls but I have no record of ever receiving their call (true story, I'm married).
The customer service agent just talked with her manager and convinced him to give me the phone at an early upgrade cost. I really wasn't sure about dropping. $100 for another phone. When I hesitated about price she immediately waived all fees and the cost of the phone.

I'm not having problems in v20p on my lg p925.
So my phone is pretty ****ed up, and if I can't fix it I am just gonna have to break it physically and take advantage of the insurance I got on this phone.
My question is, since the LG REVO is pretty old now a days, and they don't even sell it at verizon anymore, at least not online or at any of the stores in my area, and the lady I talked to on the phone from verizon said they don't sell em anymore. But what I was wondering and didn't ask her, was if my phone breaks and I claim the insurance for a replacement phone, and since they don't have my phone anymore, what will they do? Will they go backwards and give me a ****tier phone or will they be cool and give me the next step up. Either way I assume it will be a refurbished phone but I was just curious what kind of phone they might give me.
Any thoughts?

If your phone is messed up and your still under contract they may still send you a replacement at no cost to you... So call them first to try to warranty it out instead of paying for the insurance replacement.... But that's my thoughts on it.... Either way they probably going to send you another Revo

Yeah, most likely it'll be a refurb Revo, though you might be able to say, "look, I had trouble with it before it physically broke, can I get something else?" And they might say yes. Some have gotten Razrs that way,one got a Droid 4, someone even got a Gnex. More likely they'll offer something like a Spectrum. I'd be stunned if they tried to give you something inferior to the Revo.
"Inferior to a Revo"? You mean like a 5" chunk of 2x4 with icons and buttons drawn on it with a Sharpie?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
In all seriousness, while my time with the revo wasn't bad, it'd be hard for them to come up with an inferior replacement now that phones have come so far. I mean they'd have to go back to something that doesn't have 4g for one thing...not gonna happen.
