If I flash back to stock rom, will they be able to tell that I have flashed other roms?
I'm considering trying to get a replacement due to random shut downs. My work has me on call and sometimes I pick up my phone and I don't know how long it's been off. My employees often text me important stuff from the job. So this is important to me.
So will they be able to tell?
Nope, make sure to master clear and then get the JH7 update to be sure.

Agreed.
Though I suggest you hold out for another week or two and have them replace it for the Inspire. I'm going to do that soon, and speak to their 'Android specialists' about it.
Two things I don't like about that phone are the size (it's huge) and the lcd screen. I don't think I could go to an lcd after using samoled.
Plus, how would that work. I have a 2 year commitment with this phone, how could I trade for that one. I'm well past my trial period.
did you buy phone insurance? u coulda always just drop the phone and bust the screen.
if not, flash back to stock and the n00bs in the store wont know the difference. however, if you are well past your trial period, att is gonna send you to samsung more than likely. at least that is what they tried to do with me. my first captivate shut down every time i got a text message.
If you're insisting on switching phones, contact warranty and they'll send you another one. After they've sent you two Captivates, you are within your rights to ask for a different make and model. If they don't comply just ask for the Resolutions team, and they'll help you out.
thank you all

Because insurance fraud is always a good idea (purposely breaking your phone is insurance fraud FYI).
yeah. just say you lost your phone and keep it as a spare. i've done it twice now with no problems what so ever.

Last time i checked they did but eeh if it work for him it works...
Guys I've been had...purchased a phone from Gumtree cash on collection on 17th and it's stopped working today reported as lost or stolen...
As dreaded the phone has been blocked... So it's definitely fraud.. What are my options.... I'd like to report to the police but not sure if they'll do anything...
Has anyone had a similar experience, is there anyway of finding out the insurance company as I'd like to tell them it's fraud...?
Are the police likely to take the phone off me even if I don't get my money back?
I do have some emails, telephone number and address of the seller... Btw it was gumtree where I purchased from...
Also is it better to contact seller first to see if he'll give the money back (highly unlikely) or will that tip him off...?
Any advice would be much appreciated....

I'm not sure how gum tree works, but I had a similar experience buying from Cex. I simply took the phone back as they said the sale is fraudulent and they swapped the handset. Hopefully gum tree offer buyer support of some description.
It is definitely fraud but I'd contact gum tree first

That's a very naive and stupid thing to do. To be brutally honest, it's your own fault that you didn't see this potentially being a scam. Many people, myself included, would not even consider buying from someone on the street, which is basically what you did. They took you to a set of doors which probably wasn't even theirs. Easier then going to the front door of an house right? You took the risk to purchase the phone knowing once you have it, anything could happen and that you have nothing to go against except a dodgy PAY&GO number, some throw away emails addresses, and most likely a fake address.
Again, to be honest, sadly the police are very unlikely to help you, even with the emails that you have, or the phone number. Since an insurance claim requires reporting it to the police, the police will likely have a record of the phone being reported as lost/stolen. They will simply take the phone from you and return it to the owner, and they could even charge you for handling stolen goods. Your proof (emails, phone number) isn't good enough to prove that you are a victim of a scam and therefore they will not waste time to investigate on the little leads you have.
Lesson learnt. Take it on the chin n move on.
PS: GumTree wouldn't help you. It's none of their business at the end of the day. They provide u a free service and what happens is beyond their control.

Thanks for your advice although not what I wanted to hear.. They said they were putting lunch out for the kids and would come to the door, they had their front door open and went back up the stairs.... I did ask the seller if it was his own phone and not stolen etc at the time of buying....which they said it's not!
The phone worked for nearly a week so how could police accuse me buying stolen phone when I went to such lengths to try ensure it wasn't?

Ok so about 3 weeks ago my son busted my fiances s4 screen. There was a big hoot and hollar about why do we let our son play with our expensive phone in that thread lol. So anyway assurion did not have the phone in stock so i sold her broken one on ebay and bought her another from the sprint store. I called assurion and canceled the claim and even recieved a comformation.
Well fiance gos out to bring my dog in the house and she sees a package from fedex on the hood of her car. She opens it and its a brand new galaxy s4. She calls me and tells me. So i say no big deal ill mail this back to assurion. Well i call them and tell them what happened. They get all my info and cant find anything in there system saying they shipped me a phone. They show a canceled claim thats it. I give her the fedex number showing it came from there address but she refuses to check it. She ask am i sure i didnt order one off the internet and i tell her id be pretty sure if i just bought a $600 phone.
So i then turn my attention to fedex. I call them and say hey you left a package with a $650 phone in it on the hood of my car in my driveway about 100ft away from my house. They call the driver and he says he didnt wana come to my house bc my dog was on a runner. So i give them some crap about leaving it there and that was that.
So now i have a phone sitting in my house that assurion has no information on. It required a signature but was never signed for. Has anyone ever had an experience like this?

If it showed up, you do not have to pay for it. You might want to do research, but I HAD HEARD SECOND HAND that back in the 70s, companies used to ship stuff to people, then ask them to pay for it if they didn't return it (think CD "clubs").
I learned this after I had a 2nd poweramp shipped to me . . . and I finally reluctantly returned it . . . THEN learned about the rule/law about not having to send stuff back. RESEARCH IT

Doesn't matter if you have a phone to send back or not, they left it without signing, it's all cool in school, keep it. Just leave it boxed up for a week or two. When (and if) they call for it looking for it, play dumb, then ignore their calls.
And again research the law behind mailing you stuff.

My advice, since you've already taken the 'correct' steps to resolve this issue, is to keep the phone, still sealed up in the Fed-Ex box. Wait a billing cycle (or two) to see if any charges show up, or if Assurion contacts you again about the damaged device, and then take the appropriate action. If, after a few months, nothing further has been done/attempted by Sprint/Assurion, then I'd consider myself the owner of a new S4.

I think she was giving you a hint, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. And if the $150 does show up on your bill, you've got a $650 phone for $150.
had a similar incident back on tmo with the g2, it is currently sitting on my desk
also as teh father of a 2 year old, i happily let her play with phones (not my sgs4 though, she gets mommy's sgs3 ). there is so many learning apps and she is already so quick to learn how to navigate teh device. i wouldnt take that away from her for the world. screw everyone else and you raise your kids how you see fit

I'd research the laws, keep it in the box for a week of case they call, then I'd own it, root it then I'd call FedEx, and ask why the hell they left it on my car. And tell them you don't appreciate that very much.

To those of you saying to just keep the phone.....correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a replacement come pre-activated, meaning that it can only be used on the phone number that it was meant to be a replacement for? If so, it's still of no use unless to be sold as a bad ESN to be activated on another carrier such as Boost or similar.

I would yes depending on the circumstances. IF it was sold and payment was not received/revoked I could see it being possible. But if it was clean and there is proof of purchase/receipt of payment then no.
Best guess.

This.
My standard message:
There's nothing wrong with toolkits themselves. They can be great, useful tools. We're not even saying they cause bricks either - though users not understanding things *could* cause one...Toolkits are necessary on many devices, but on Nexuses, the manual steps are very easy.
Ultimately it's fine to use a toolkit but *only* if you already know how to do all these steps manually. If you do not know how to do that then you should do it manually so that you do know. The reason for this is if something goes wrong further down the line, we don't want to have to teach you the basics AND tell you what you need to do to fix whatever issue you have. We just want to do the latter - because teaching someone the basics that they should already know when they are frustrated and panicking is not a good set of circumstances to be teaching under and it is frustrating to us more than you and putting us in that situation is a little bit selfish

Well being that the xda app will not let me start a new thread for some reason I guess I will ask it here since I started this thread on my computer. Does anybody with T Mobile on this phone or any phone I guess experience delayed text messages still? I'm going to be switching from Verizon and I hope I'm not going to kick myself in the ass for this. I had an unlimited data plan but just got in over my head with two edged plans and very expensive devices was paying over $250 a month.

Yes agreed, don't use toolkits unless you know how to fix things if something goes wrong or you f it up. Adb isn't that hard if you practice a little and there are many articles that will help with learning it.

Well being that the xda app will not let me start a new thread for some reason I guess I will ask it here since I started this thread on my computer. Does anybody with T Mobile on this phone or any phone I guess experience delayed text messages still? I'm going to be switching from Verizon and I hope I'm not going to kick myself in the ass for this.

I just did the switch from verizon to att on monday and havent looked back. 13 years with crappy customer service is enough, but I never had any delayed messages.

So with ATT are you having any delayed messages?

We have two Unlimited lines and one 2GB line (i.e., kids are growing up). I spoke in the store with a Salesperson who claimed he could get me a discount on a family package with 6GB shared for about $10 less/month than my current plans. Plus, I'd be able to purchase subsidized phones for the two (previously) unlimited lines, again. I wanted to check this out myself online, so looked later that evening and couldn't find what he offered.
The next day, I called Verizon and a Salesperson couldn't reproduce that deal, only giving me the $20+ greater cost that I'd already calculated using their online plan comparison tool.
So, it might depend on who you talk to (or, if your request is even reasonable).
Friends and relatives helped me understand that coverage seems good for all the major carriers in our area - I'd probably first consider Sprint if our unlimited plans went away and costs went up substantially for very little data/month.

None, and I even had my wife text me just the time on the message of when it sent and it was within seconds I recieved it after she sent it.
She was about 20 miles away also
