Bought another HTC One (M8) it's a little different

My 1st phone I bought on day one started with S/N FA has the "NO 3G of Death".
Sprint still has not even given an ETA on replacement (since last Sunday). F that. So I bought another one.
I did buy a Galaxy S5 first at best buy but they were $100.00 more. I caught them just before closing. When I got home my wife asked, oh you bought a Verizon Phone !!
So I returned that and figured if I'm gonna buy and return something why should BestBuy pay the price. I'll let Sprint take that hit.
So I did compare every setting in every ##nnnnn# I could find.
They were EXACTLY the same. Including Signal Strength.
But I noticed this phone is a little different. For one it works, that's always good. Side By Side they do not behave the same. On multiple Towers.
I notice the Power button is way more recessed. I like that. The first one was kind of high.
Second on my first one holes behind the speaker grill on top and bottom look whitish on the right half.
On the new phone they are black (hollow) all the way across.
This phone Serial S/N starts with HT.
Hardware Rev is the same.
I have applied S-OFF, Unlock, Recovery (Captains 2.7.0.7 this time) and running Bad Boys Harman 1.1. But I'm staying on Stock Firmware for now. Stock PRL too.
The Sprint fellow (through chat) that helped me activate the new one, was very good. We tried everything to fix the old one. By activating new one, then going back to old one etc.
It just misbehaved.
Some Sprint people thought it was my account. Nope.
Some Sprint people thought it was my towers. Nope.
It was the phone.
Still not 100% sure if it's hardware or software.
I did back it up with QPST first thing.

I can confirm that this does happen on HT serial numbers as well, waiting for my device which should be there on tuesday

Interesting. I had five OG Evo's, and three Evo Lte's. I remember the certain build of the Evo's having issue's, and trying to avoid those. I have an FA. Runs smooth.

I think I may contact sprint again. I wish I could just go buy a phone but that isn't happening.

What happens on HT serial numbers? Issues or differences in build?

The no 3g of death that has been plaguing our phones, some people are convinced it only happens on fa serial numbers, but i can confirm it happens on ht too

Gotcha, maybe my phone is fine and it is actually crappy network. What fun.

I saw a tear down video that showed spring contacts to connect the antenna's BEFORE I bought it.
When I saw that, I thought, oh sh$t not again. HTC One X (I think that was the model, the model year before M7) was plagued with antenna Issues.
Some DIYers soldered wires to connect the antenna to fix it. I never had an issue. You could squeeze that model to "Temporarily" fix it because it was plastic.
You can't squeeze the M8 to test the Theory.
I was very tempted to take my broken M8 apart and retention the clips. I may still, since the broken one is going to be returned anyway.
You can see it in this Tear Down.

That worries me. I'm tempted to sell or trade for a gs5

FA S/N here and so far so good.. I've had mine about a month now

I could be completely wrong that those spring clips are related, but I was concerned BEFORE I bought it.
So I'm concerned too. One day at a time. I still prefer the M8 over S5 (Having never owned a Samsung).
I might have HTC repair my broken M8. Since I have a running phone (at the moment) I have the luxury sending it to them.
I just googled it. In the case of the old HTC One X it was the WIFI Antenna

I came from the galaxy s3, it was a damn solid phone. Never had issues with it. I like sense more than TouchWiz though. I just was in sprint chat again and they told me to go to a different store, and that they advised the store that the device doesn't seem to be working properly. I'll be going there tomorrow to see if I can make any headway. If not, I may end up switching carriers. Not sure yet.

I feel your pain man. Every store I went into I was more upset leaving. With them saying things like we know it's broken, we have shinny new ones here we can't give you.
You have to wait in line for a refurb.
What really got me was I was on the phone getting status on my back order and asking why he can't give me one from the store, you have them in stock.
He said "who told you that, we don't have any". That's the same store I bought the 2nd phone at !!!
I was ready to dump them too. But they are all the same. I have Verizon for FIOS and they are just as slimy and way more expensive.
TMobile seems reasonable but I'm not sure I trust having a GSM phone at my cabin. Most GSM phones get no service up where my Cabin is.
I also have the SERO 500 plan on two lines.
Sprint used to be much better in situations like this. I've never seen anything like this. I think I've been with them for like 15 years. New phone every year.
I think I'll be buying my next phone through BestBuy. But it's tricky with SERO Plan because I don't think BestBuy can activate it.
And I won't be buying another phone on release day. I rarely do.

I have the same plan. Hopefully I have better luck tomorrow. I don't know what carrier I would switch to anyway.

Just so you know you can't go just on the first 2 characters.... That just says where it was made....have to use the next few to determine a time frame... Seen some come out of the same factory and be world's apart.
There's a thread in the One forum going over SNs.....

I'm amazed you still have the SERO plan. I had it then Sprint made me move to a new plan when I got my OG Evo when that came out.

Looking through other forums like T-Mobile and their new phones and there isn't much talk about this. Makes me wonder about good ole Sprint.

Yeah this is the first time I ever heard of this. I just switched to T-Mobile but still browse the Sprint forums to see whats happening in my old neighborhood. Ive never heard of the "No 3G of Death" on any other carrier forum. I wonder what the issue could be???

I don't think that Sprint has their network hitting on all cylinders. Upgrading their system to Sprint Spark while releasing flagship phones hasn't been smooth.

The Network has it's issues. But this phone (some instances) has issues of it's own.

Anyone know a safe way to get a working Note 4?

I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 off of Swappa, but when I received it, it had the damned ddi: mmc read error problem that I have read up on and found is a hardware issue. My question is if anyone know a place to buy this phone that is new or at least refurbished by Samsung. Preferably the T-Mobile Carrier version because I want to keep an unlocked bootloader. Especially looking for people who ran into the same issue and were able to find a seller with a phone that didn't have aforementioned problems. I am just really unsure about places as I really want to have the Note 4, best Samsung device IMO, and hoping someone can help.

If Gazelle sells them, I would trust them. I'm just about to send my Note 4 back to tmobile for trade in. Not sure exactly what happens to those phones. My 4 is on excellent condition so they shouldn't have to do too much.. excepting I of course tripped Knox. Not sure what they do about that.

I know for a fact that tmobile sells refurbished note 4's for 400 bones

Should be a ton of them out there somewhere, along with spare parts, considering n5 was never released in Europe.

Hi I purchased last week from swappa. So far no problems and it includes a 30 day money back guarantee... Check out the seller MyteCell LLC. If they have any problem they will let you know. Response is very quick. Hope this helps

There are at least two T-Mobile stores in the Atlanta area selling what they say are NEW Note 4s, one had them on display, the other said they had them in the back, but they weren't on display. Call a few in your area and ask.

I would only by one recertification with a warranty!

I'm buying a note 4 today and its for sprint but its unlocked. I'm on Tmobile .
When I root and ROM it does the ROM need to be sprint ROMs or can it be Tmobile ROMs ? Or can I flash any ROM since its unlocked?

[Q] SM-T719Y as a phone?

Does the SM-T719Y have the necessary hardware (properly positioned speaker & microphone) & software (Dialer application) to be used as a phone?

Has no one actually purchased this model?

My 817T has a speaker and mic. I tried for over a month to flash a different regions rom. I got it at one point but lost all connectivity in the process. I finally caved and just started using google voice as a means. The dialer app is disabled on these units. I don't know the same would apply to you for sure.

The sm-t719Y has a dialer for phone calls.

I did not purchase one, since my question went unanswered for more than two weeks and I was not willing to wait longer for a replacement phone. I wound up buying an Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra (the ZU680KL). No 4g in my area, but is otherwise a perfect device for my needs.

Thanks for replying appreciate it, shame I wasnt on board at that time as you were when buying. I am buying now, still researching, its a minefield out there LOL. Its a toss up between the smaller SM-t719 and larger 819 version, either the Y or international version with phone diallers will do for me. Prefer Y as its got the added AWS UMTS band ,a lthough moot since its been refarmed where I live. I think the smaller 8 " would handle better , not that id be pocketing it mind LOL.

There's one being sold as a bad esn on eBay currently. Be warned the sellers couldn't verify the model number as an sm-t719y for me when made contact , in fact after a few emails he removed my bids.
We all know a bad esn international means **** here in USA so nondoubt it's not actually a 719

Hello!
I have the Gold Galaxy Tab S2 T719Y as well. From what I understand, this model was originally exclusive overseas (Korea I believe..?) and somehow was shuffled to the US. Mine in particular has a foreign wall adapter in which I have to plug into a separate adapter to charge here in the US.
From time-to-time, companies end up making a flagship version of certain models and keep them exclusive to their native country - I'm under the impression that this is the case for our T719Y devices [I could be wrong so please don't quote me].
Being cost effective, I went into a T-Mobile store (since these are GSM) to initiate service to my device. The clerk and store manager were baffled and in aw over my Tab S2 and it's unique qualities such as the dialer app. After messing around with a few different active SIM cards from display phones and tablet in the store, the clerk gave me to option to open a basic 2 Gb data plan for $20/ month (which is what I requested upon arrival) or to attempt to register the device as a phone and receive unlimited text, talk & data for $40/ month.
I purchased this tablet for the sole purpose of operating my drone so I don't really need much data, I just need to power Google Maps a few times a month without the hassle of fumbling with my phone's hot spot. To me that's worth $20/ month, but idk about $40.
I'm anxious to see if anyone successfully makes calls with the dialer app with the T719Y. Please keep me in the loop!!!

I'm using an sm-t819y same device bigger screen with t mobile with no issues. I didn't purchase a separate sim card specifically for this device, I'm using a phone sim card from a spare line.
If you look for some of my previous posts and threads you'll see that i was specifically looking for a tablet that could work for voice and data on T Mobile .The Y model has the added aws umts band 4 that the international doesn't .But none have band 12 LTE, not a deal breaker for me.
The only tablet I had that supported all bands on T Mobile as well as make voice calls via the inbuilt dialer was my previous Sony spg771 , but again a certain customization region model was needed else phone dialer were disabled also.
That device was great but the 16.9 ratio didn't suit my needs. Also the capacitive touch keys don't light when I touch the screen on the Y models. A bit **** when wanting to go back a screen in the dark. They do light up when touched directly though. Seen a few videos of the 819y and there's all like that

Note 8 "Rent-a-Center" lock

I just bought a "unlocked" note 8 and everything was clean when I checked it and everything works and is activated but when I was scrolling though the settings I saw under "knox" there's a Rent-a-center profile with the contact number and everything on it and had no idea why, So I've been doing research about what it means and a looking for a solution when I found out that the phone is though them and if it's not paid off they can remotely lock you out of it and I want to prevent that from happening because I paid alot of money for this phone! I had another note 8 before this one that i broke the screen on and it was locked to AT&T(which I don't have) so I got help on here with rooting it and putting new firmware on it which worked. So I don't know if doing that again will take care of the issue or what I should do? If anyone has any advice or knows what I should do please let me know!! Thank you!

If you own the phone, ie, paid for it all then I'd go back to where you got it from and tell them to take it off.

Contact seller and possibly even rent-a-center to check what status of phone is. If issues do exist, demand a refund of the seller.

Wow, was curious how much they charge.

I already did that and they said it wasn't paid off fully and to contact the person I bought it from which I've already tried but nothing.. That's why I'm looking for a solution now before I get locked out because they said it's only a matter of time before it happens when the store it was rented from shuts it off and then I'm screwed. I didn't even know you could RENT A PHONE !

For $174/month you can get the phone in device installments and service from any carrier for less.

".....I got help on here with rooting it and putting new firmware on it which worked. So I don't know if doing that again will take care of the issue or what I should do?"
No. Root isn't an option in this scenario nor is flashing new firmware.
It appears that Rent-A-Center utilizes a Mobile Device Management solution which, in turn, is dependent on KNOX.
With the current root option for the Snapdragon 835 & Note 8, we don't the ability to alter or remove the partition in question.
However
There are services available ONLINE which MIGHT help you; look for yourself.
Even if you were able to remove the lock, they could still blacklist the device for non-payment.
This puts you back at square one.
Talk to Rent-A-Center directly and explain the situation.

Guaranteed OP bought an under contract RAC phone. Phone is gonna get locked and op will be SOL.

Sounds to me like the person you bought it from pulled a fast one, phone is probably not even close to being paid off & he sold it.
Like AHE said, even if you were able to remove that RAC lock on it, they can still blacklist if that's the case (phone not being paid off).

Most of Rent-a-Center's clientele couldn't borrow a buck for a soda. They don't have the credit rating to get a phone at a more mainstream price.
And before anyone screams about RAC's "predatory" business model, consider that most of their customers got into the credit mess they're in by getting stuff they couldn't afford or thought they were too slick to not pay and get away with it. They're a match made in heaven.

You have good points. But rent a center places are straight up predatory business. If customers credit not able to get phone on payment plan. Then straight out deny them. For the better off of person.
I would feel like I had no soul working and selling to people at places like that. Double price stepping over the line. Tripled price jesus christ that's insane! Those type of places and others should be banned.

Nothing like paying $500 over original price. Like I said rent a center and checkNcash type places should be banned. Jesus christ those companies are pathetic.
OP I feel really bad for getting shafted

I've figured out how to make it work if you're interested

If you were able to root it, install Titanium backup, there is a file that is installed by Rent a center. It cannot be unistalled..I tried to and it vanishes for a few minutes but is reinstalled. Even after device is paid off you have to call rent a center and get their loss prevention department and they will remotely remove it. Even when I rooted and installed a rom the file was there. Trust me on this, I was silly enough to get a device from them yrs ago and even after the 90 days same as cash it took them over a month to take the file off my phone.
