ok i called verizon today and told them i did not get my replacement droid 3 they put it on the lost and stolen list and told me they had no more droid 3s and they upgraded me to the samsung galaxy nexus 4g and i also get to keep my unlimited internet but as i will not have a droid 3 no more i will not be on this part of the fourm that much but i will still come see how every thing is going from time to time i will miss you guys and you have made my stay here very good and i wont to thank every one of you guys and all of the developers on the fourm who has made my droid 3 the best phone that i ever had and more i hope the galaxy nexus forms on xda is just as awesome.
Can anyone else confirm that Verizon is upgrading people replacing Droid 3s? Mine is breaking and I have insurance but I didn't want to pay the deductible for another d3. If they are upgrading people to the galaxy nexus I'd be all over it.

How did you guys do this? I just called the asurion insurance number and they told me I would be receiving a droid 3. Who did you two talk to that said they would send a nexus? I backed out at the end because I didn't want to pay the $100 today for another droid 3. Maybe I'll try back in 30 days and hope their droid 3 supply runs dry.

Tell them you're not going to pay $100 for a crap stratosphere and hang up. I guess we'll have to try again another day. The only downside is that Asurion will only replace a phone up to 60 days after the damage so now that the claim is opened you'll have to grab a replacement within 60 days if you ever plan to get one.

I am not trying to get over on anyone. I am a paying insurance customer with a broken phone (cracked screen) so I am entitled to a replacement. As-is I looked at the value proposition ($100 for another Droid 3) and didn't deem it worthwhile but if my $100 will yield a nexus replacement then I am willing to pay the deductible. Being informed about my options as an agent in the market doesn't mean that I am "getting at verizon".

I understand the concern, but I had a legit broken phone as well. I tried to get a replacement last month and they gave me the same run around (no more DROID3 and had to replace with a Stratosphere). I also tried getting the GNex as a replacement before with no luck either. I did not, and still do not want a stratosphere phone. I thought i was stuck with a D3 with a broken keyboard. But this time, with persistence, I was able to. I'm not trying to instigate a massive "Let's attack Big Red" campaign. I'm just letting people know they don't have to settle with the first option they tell you.

I removed some things I said in the earlier post. You can completely delete it if you would like. Sorry for the negative publicity.
How do you get a GNex? I'm talking to them now and they seem to have all these D3's available to ship! WTF!? :'(
EDIT: My Droid 3 replacement is on its way. ****.
Not that I'm encouraging ppl to scam verizon, but based on what I hear about how they do business, and the way they treating customers, I don't have any sympathy for them. They seem to try to rip everyone off. I'm Damn glad I don't have to deal with them.
Not to mention, im pretty sure we all try to cajole, bargain and intimidate when dealing with large companies like that, just as they offer great deals to new customers and then try screw us once we're hooked.
So in conclusion, don't lie to them and try to replace your perfectly good phone, but if you have legit problems, for sure try to convince them to upgrade you.

So, today I was on my way to work. Had to leave a little early so I could make a pit stop at the gas station and get me a Rockstar and fill the tank up. Filled up the tank, ran inside to get my drink, and was completely pissed off when I came back out.
Someone stole my damn phone! Laying right there on my seat, broad daylight (8am) and they took my damn phone.
After frantically looking around the car and inside the store, I came to the conclusion that yes, someone actually stole my damn phone. A fellow soldier that was parked behind me waiting to get gas, luckily got the license plate number of the car and a very good description of the little punk $#@(^&%$^# that took it.
Called the MPs and we both told them what happened. Their reply was "well if the car drove off base, then we can't really do anything."
My reply was "Ok so I just wasted 45 minutes of time waiting on you guys to get here? I knew I should have called REAL cops."
Let me get to the good part real quick. So I call the local police and tell them what happened and they came right over (5-10 minutes tops). Other soldier gave them a description and the license plate, next thing I know there's smoke and dust from the local police flying out of there to get my phone back. (Very awesome of them.)
Then the other soldier said something that made me want to smack myself until I passed out. "If only you had one of those apps where you could track your phone by the GPS." Way to kick a guy while he's down right?
Then it donned on me...........****ing SEEK DROID! I installed that app and registered online the day after I got my Revo! Here's my train of thought after that:
1. Yes I have that app!
2. Crap no I don't because I rooted and did a factory reset without backing up my apps (like an idiot).
3. Doesn't matter, get online and try to look for it anyway, the GPS was enabled on the phone so I should still be able to track it.
Called my superior and told them what happened, said I had to run home real fast and that I would be a little late. So I get home, throw open my netbook and get online, head to Seek Droids website and POW! There's my phone, traveling down the H3 freeway. Instantly pulled out the cops card that he gave me, called him and led him straight to the little bastards that stole my phone.
Thinking that I am going to get my phone back, I start cheering the cops on. Feeling like James Bond or something, telling them where to turn, how fast they were going, what intersection they were passing. It was getting very intense.
(By the way, I'm on the cops cellphone with him as the chase is happening)
I can hear him say over the phone that "the passenger is rolling down his window." I'm thinking "oh my god these idiots are gonna shoot at the cops?"
Now, what do almost all people do, when they're driving a car (a stolen car at that) that has drugs in it and they're being chased by the police?
You guessed it, they threw my phone out the ****ing window. I don't even get to have the pieces of it because "it might have fingerprints." This is probably one of the worst days of my damn life right? It gets a lot worse with this little bit of info.......I didn't buy the insurance. So please forgive me if I don't seem like I'm in the best of moods right now. I am without my Revo now, didn't buy the insurance, no upgrade available yet, and no money to buy a new phone. Life just ****ing sucks right now.

Actually that was one of my biggest concerns. I was working on the MIUI theme and still needed to update some of the other themes.
I can still finish the themes, problem is I have no phone to test them out. All I need is a tester and the themes will continue. I'm not gonna stop just because I don't have a phone anymore.
Sorry bud... but it was a hell of a story!! I will test for you.. dev on mine is going soooo slow I might just wait for cyanogen if it ever comes. Theme chooser themes seem easier.
Where did you get buttons from? I have tried just changing the color of existing buttons but it looks like ass.

Most of them I just edited the colors from the stock Revolt ROM buttons. Also, you can try to find a MIUI theme and ask the creator if you can use his. Then all you have to do is copy them over. I used paint.NET for most of my image editing and would sometimes just changed the hue/saturation of the image.
****ty dude. Maybe they will catch the guys and make them buy you a new phone haha. Also, I've never had to use the insurance on my phone but I've had it since I got my OG Droid like 2 years or so ago. I would be glad to let you borrow it of need be. It's rooted with some random ROM on it. Wiped clean.

No money, gonna have to wait until the 1st to get a new phone. I talked to Verizon and they said if I fax them a copy of the police report, they will go ahead and let me upgrade as soon as I have the money to get a phone.
This is the very definition of excellent customer service on the part of Big Red. I had no insurance at all, the warranty only covered "unintentional damage" but they are going to let me upgrade anyway. I have already faxed over the police report so now I just have to call them when I have money and give them my case reference number and I'll be good to go!

UPDATE:
Just wanted to say first of all, thank you to everyone who is sympathizing and everyone who has offered to donate money for me to get another Revo.
However, I can't accept your donations. Verizon really screwed me over and is now saying that they can't let me upgrade early because 1- I didn't have insurance on the phone, and 2 - I'm unable to send the stolen (and shattered) phone back to them. I'm extremely pissed off at Verizon right now. I probably won't switch carriers or anything but getting another Revo right now is pretty much out of the picture. The only way I can get one now is through a third party like craigslist.org or swappa.com . I can buy one from Verizon but they want me to pay full retail and there's no way in hell I'm paying $550 for a phone.
Looks like it's back to the drawing board for me, I'm still trying to think of ways I can get a Revo for cheap but it's not looking good. I saw one on craigslist in my area for only $200 so I checked it out, problem with it was that it didn't come with a charger....just the phone. Which can only mean 1 thing, it's probably stolen. No one sells a phone in "like new" condition, without a charger. Still looking though guys, wish me luck!

The only thing I feel like I need right now, is a ride up to Verizon to just start punching people in the face. Can't believe they pulled that crap. I should have known it sounded too good to be true.
They will make them pay for your phone I would go on Verizon website asap to print out scoot of what the phone cost now and if you have to go to court your can show that to the judge and they will have to pay all of it not the 2 year contact price. I know it might be awhile for that to happen but you need to get a copy of what the phone cost so the judge had something to go by..

Just a thought: If it was stolen from your car, is there a possibility you could make a claim against your comprehensive auto insurance? If your deductible is less than $550, you're at least that much closer.
Hi guys,
Due to some charging issues I have, I decided im going to warranty out my phone. I remember reading some people managing to get a different phone through warranty.
whats your experience on this? When I worked for AT&T they usually never sent different phones unless the phone was extinct.
what do you guys think?
If you were with Verizon, no chance. You get a refurb of same model.
You have to have a few phones replaced before they will typically send you a different phone. I went through 5 Droid Erises then they sent me a Droid 2 but I.had to purchase the battery and back.cover myself.
While they don't commonly send you a different phone, it does occasionally happen. I am on Verizon.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
yeah with verizon they'll only give you a different model if they are out of stock on the one you have.... and they'll pick the replacement for you.
your only shot is to call customer care a few times reporting issues with your phone. after they"ve logged your calls("complaints") a few times then proceed telling them that you're ready to cancel service. at that point they should be willing to work something out with you.
Coming from the Fascinate, I recall some people getting the Incredible 2 or the Charge as a replacement for it.

Its kind of funny that you mentioned threatening to cancel your services. That's what I did to get them to send me the Droid 2 for my Droid Eris. Even after they originally agreed, they turned and canceled it once and then I really went off on them for trying to break their agreement.

What exactly did you think they were going to offer you? Be happy they gave you another option. I had my Droid Eris for 9 months and went through 5 of them and had to threaten to cancel my contract to get them to give me a Droid 2 around the time they were releasing the Droid 2 global and already gave up on the Droid 2. They're not going to give you one of their top notch phones. If anyone thinks they will get a razr or nexus as a replacement, stop kidding yourself. Be happy they offered you the Charge and not the LG Revolution. The revolution is what I would expect them to give as a replacement, and I highly recommend avoiding the revolution even though it does have an unlocked bootloader. If you do get the revolution, you will see that having an unlocked bootloader isn't all what some people think it is.
If you want the Razr, I suggest waiting until the newer Razr comes out before using your warranty. Once that comes out, they may be willing to give you the razr as a replacement but right now that wont happen.

I recently turned my LG Thrill in to AT&T's insurance claims service, and they apparently don't make the Thrill anymore, so they are sending the Nitro HD at no additional cost! Just the deductible, and then you get a new and better phone (at least in my opinion) just putting all of this out there just in case anyone wanted to take advantage of this!

I was about to scream that you turned down a quad-core phone for a dual, and then remembered that there's not a single quad-core in the US consumer market as of now. I really wish the carriers would take the hint from their European divisions/brethren and open the market already. I'm happy with my Thrill, not broken (we'll see if that changes) and I'm not even with AT&T anymore sooo yeah.

You are technically correct, it does get a bit better on the numbers, however the quads, when overclocked just a little still beat out the dual-cores, and can be OC'd a little bit further due to application load being distributed to more cores (higher fault tolerance at higher clock speeds).

You are technically correct, it does get a bit better on the numbers, however the quads, when overclocked just a little still beat out the dual-cores, and can be OC'd a little bit further due to application load being distributed to more cores (higher fault tolerance at higher clock speeds).

No It has already been sold for 200 bucks and I am buying a google tab with the cash. I have already tried to give Dark another Thrill that I have here that has a broken screen and it would only cost 45 bucks to replace and he didnt want it. Dark has an SGS II now I think he is about as done with the thrill as the rest of us are.

You can't say that he likely wouldn't have wanted it, they were 2 completely different phones. One was a thrill with a BROKEN SCREEN, the other with no physical issues that required detailed and meticulous repair (of which there is no guarantee of success). I really hate when people compare apples to oranges...

Well I really hate it when people ask for free stuff then ***** when they don’t get it...My point is,,,, I made the effort to help this community and was refused. So how about you stop speaking on his behalf, because you don’t have a clue what went on in the conversation between him and myself, I have the Private messages I know what was said. I was giving away a 300 dollar device that needed a 45 dollar repair,oh and the detailed and meticulous repair you spoke of took me 15 minutes to complete. Yeah some of us have skills not just speculation. When he told me he DID NOT WANT IT. I sold that phone also. Why dont you purchase a phone from ebay and donate it to the cause.

I already have plans to donate my Thrill when I upgrade to a dev here on the forums. Already way ahead of you, already got the dev selected and they already said yes to receiving my Thrill. Don't think that I'm *****ing for no reason, ever. I intended to get the dev a Thrill a lot sooner than "sometime in the next six months," and have been ACTIVELY trying to either get one for free by getting somebody to donate, and I have even TRIED to purchase a used Thrill (multiple times) for this dev to work on, and been turned down because the seller wanted money sooner than later. So even though I was looking for it for free to donate to a developer sooner than my time schedule, I am still willing to SPEND MONEY on a dev here in the forums to "help the cause" as you say. My phone is "sometime in the next six months" because it's my ONLY GSM phone right now and I can't get the one I want until I save a little bit first.
I'm glad you can work on the delicate intricacies that are the internals of a phone without doing serious damage, you obviously have done it before successfully as the last phone I tried working on ended up becoming junk when trying to just replace a screen like you. Yes, I speculate a little bit on the difficulty level with a thrill, but that's based on my own past experiences with trying similar surgery, on a bigger phone.
if you guys could give me the number you are calling that would be awesome, I would like to try my luck for a One X. What were you guys complaining about when you called? ghost calls or a bricked phone?

I just called ATT tech support and told them about the ghost call issue....I jumped through all the hoops they wanted me to jump through, They sent me a replacement thrill and I had the same issue so I called back with the truth about this phone and jumped through more hoops and eventualy they put me on the phone with someone from a department called Resolution,,,, and they got me the new phone.......I never lied one time to them, I called with a real issue and they resolved it......It took 2 weeks but it got done in the end.....the number you wanted is 1-800-331-0500
LG thrill replacement
Well After talking to ATT after seeing this post. She is positive she can only send me an ATT lg thrill that i thought they didnt make anymore. i was hoping for an LG nitro to get out from under this mess of a phone. she did upgrade me to 2 day shipping but says she can only send the thrill.
My question for you guys is does it just show her the thrill on her screen and when it gets to logistics they will find they dont have it and send me the nitro or am i getting the same phone?
Thanks
Alex

I decided to call them back and threat in to cancel my service and the issues they have gave me. i have been with att for 10 years. they lied about the phone and the updates when i got the phone when it first came out. and now they will not move an inch and only will send the thrill with no battery or back.

Hey guys. Im gonna call and report my phone as stolen so I get a new one. A guy at a bell shop told me I could do that LOL im just wondering, what are phones that have a good dev community right now that are on bell? Im thinking of getting a gnex or s3. But I don't know the gnex is kinda old now. also I looked at s3 and there's already pages in the developer forum lol. My dad has an s3 so I play around with it sometimes, gorgeous phone haha. I just want opinions on different phones like the s2 and what not.
Sent from my XT860 using xda app-developers app
The GNex is still the top developer phone if you want to run the latest Android code and the most choices in custom ROMs and will probably stay that way for another 6 months or so until the next Nexus phone. If you want another QWERTY phone tho the choices are pretty limited sadly.
well, I personally would go with the gnex - so many more of the top devs on it. and its unlocked (even though kexec dev is making that slightly unimportant)
oh, btw, if you're claiming its lost just to get a new phone, thanks for making our insurance rates go up. why not sell it on swappa and upgrade that way?

So let me get this straight. You are asking for advice on committing fraud? It is a crime you know.
Alright! Haha. Gnex it might for sure be. Just the fact its already been out for a year made me think people might have moved on to something else now. Thanks for your reply. The guy at the bell store told me to do that if I want a new phone. But thanks tips and your welcome for that.

Yeah, but if you still have the phone I hope you don't plan on using it with your carrier. I did have my phone stolen once at a theme park (yaay girl purses :<) and when I called I was asked for the information on the police report. Once you call and report it stolen they blacklist the phone. Asurion was telling me something about having some sort of tracking in one of the replacements that I received from them awhile back.
And people wonder why companies get so strict..
In the midst of fighting with verizon over getting a working revo i jumped ship and bought a Moto RAZR on craigstlist for cheap. I appreciate all the help y'all have given over the last year and how hard everyone(especially mtmichaelson) has fought to make the revo a damn good phone. I have to admit, after tasting ics, gingerbread is just bland! Thanks again guys, and good luck on keeping the revo at least moderately caught up in the wake of all the new JB and ICS phones on the market!
I'm almost about ready to do the same. It's weird how this phone is a little over a year old and already obsolete.

I'm looking at jumping ship as well and buying a Droid 4. I know it uses a microsim and ours uses a full sim card. Do I need to do anything other than cut it down to micro size or will it just work when I stick it in the new phone? Do I need to contact Verizon for activation or anything? Thanks.

Micro is a completely different size and card. You would have to contact Verizon. You can go into a corporate store also. They have extras they can activate for you. Last I knew they were free with a sales pitch for an add a line our upgrade lol.

Haha, yeah. I'm sure there would be a sales pitch. lol Definitely.
Thanks for your answer but are you sure about the card? I've read that as long as you keep the circuitry and contact points intact cutting a sim down to a micro sim will still function. Or is there yet another kind of card I'm getting this confused with?
I recall seeing a how-to cut down the SIM card quite a few months ago. A video even. I'm certain Google would point you to something useful.

I got a new Rezound on ebay for around $300 and sold the Revo for a $100 and I could not be happier once I got ICS on the Rezound
You'd spend more time watching the video and doctoring your card than you would spend at a Verizon store getting a free replacement of the correct type....just sayin'....

I did the same thing. Picked up a galaxy nexus off of craigslist for pretty cheap. After owning the original droid I'm happy to be back to vanilla android (ICS this time). My revo had become way to slow for my liking, even with mtmichaelson's rom (which made it way better than stock).
I destroyed verizon. Revo out. Samsung Galaxy S3 to replace. for free.
This is my wife's phone and we've had it for about 6-7 months. I rooted it, ROM'd it (1st Gingervolt, then Broken Out). I'm on the latest firmware update, and again rooted and flashed Broken Out. All throughout, there were issues with bluetooth, Vibe of Death, screen freezes.
I complained just the other day - hey it was Sunday on Labor Day weekend and I had a moment. 1st Verizon rep was willing to send a replacement Revo. I told her that was unacceptable, that all the forums I've read detail that the defects I've cited are baked into the phone, it is a lemon and should be recalled and that sending me the same lemony phone was unacceptable. I urged her to elevate my claim. I was insistent and was really quite angry that she was not getting it.
I then spoke with a really great rep - technical support - to whom I mentioned all I had done (except for rooting and flashing a rom) and truthfully told her that I had upgraded to latest firmware and still had screen freezes and bluetooth problems. I told her about what I read on the forums and how the phone is just fatally flawed. I also mentioned 20 years as a Verizon cell phone customer, my family plan with 5 phones, all with data, and that what I was asking for - a different model replacement phone - was neither outrageous nor unexpected.
She asked what phone would I prefer. I first said a Razr, but said the Galaxy S3 would be great, but I doubt they'd substitute. Without a moment of delay, she said I could have the Galaxy S3 and what color, blue or white... It was shipped immediately and we are awaiting it.
So pretty soon, on ebay, you are going to see our used LG Revolution...
The moral of this story is get past the first level of customer support and stand your ground. insist on a replacement. Tell them that the Revolution is a huge disappointment and does not provide the basic functions a phone should.
Man...i wish my experience with trying to get different phones was better... I did the same thing, insisted that i would rather go to another service than get a revo back... They didnt give a rats ass... The only reason i'm still with verizon is due to the razr i found for dirt cheap. ICS is so nice in comparison!

I didn't know it at the time, but we have to send our Revo back. Still, getting a S3 for the Revo is a home run.

This phone was obsolete when it was released honestly. The Droid Charge came out before it and was a better phone for the most part. The only reason I bought it was for the unlocked bootloader but I guess none of the Android developers did because we only had limited development (not a knock against the people who did develop, but for all the developers who complained about locked bootloaders and then didn't jump on one that was unlocked)
