Phone Insurance? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.
I get a contract upgrade in about 2months, So i wanna claim on my insurance to get a brand new x10 to sell for some money on the side.
I get covered for everything, Water Damage,Malicious damage,Accidental Damage, All that Rarharharh Stuff,Theft,Loss
and im just wondering what would be the easiest way to get around it with out alot of questions..
I know gonnna sound cheap but what ever ive payed the insurance for 2 years.. im getting something out of it!

Drop it in a cup of water and say it fell out of your shirt pocket and into the toilet. Ha
- X10a 2.1 ~ via XDA App

if u want real money, brake your car window and tell police it was Theft
now u have 2 x10 lol

Please please please double check that you are covered for water damage. A lot of places cover for everything except that.

Sounds a bit illegal but nm. Just say u lost it when drunk.
Or have fun smashing it up. Ppl like you are the reason phone insurance is so expensive in the first place!

Another thing to remember is that smart phones aren't always covered under the normal deductible. MY gf's smart phone was $150 to replace with the insurance.

[Q] how do i to bipass wave secure..?

maybe you should just return the phone to its rightful owner and tell them you paid a crack head 40$ for it and see if they give you your money back.
I know, I know, who would return $500 if they found it right? Wow, Maybe you should keep in mind that they can gps track the phone with wavesecure, and locate you. They can turn it on remotely, then when they say the phone is stolen, and possession is 9/10's of the law..........

Lol.
Buying someone's stolen phone, wtf is your problem? It's disturbing that you work at a tmobile store (assuming you're being truthful). How stupid are you?
damn! what did the guy actually walk into your "tmobile" store and really sell you the phone right there flat out? wow. i guess stupid is AS stupid does
I think that was also dumb but there's still a way to wipe the phone. Just boot into recovery and wipe the phone or install a stock ron.

And let me guess..you're gonna sell it off to a customer with a contact and tell them it's brand new right?

I don't know if this guy is legit or not but I hate to see guys like this helped. The phone is more than likely stolen & could be yours or mine w/ personal & or business texts, emails, & pictures. Maybe it isn't stolen but I doubt an "Authorized Dealer" would (a.) buy a 1 week old phone for $40 (b.) Buy it before checking to see if it worked (c.)Would have no other escalation option other than XDA.
If I'm wrong fugg him and he should search a little, then ask for help. If I'm right well just plain old fugg him maybe he can steal the directions with the phone next time.
yeah an even better way to introduce yourself to the community... did you make this acct just to ask that question? so you dont have to look like a douche on your real name? Call customer care and see what they say you should do...
You knowingly purchased a stolen phone? Not to mention its $500. Depending on your state you could be looking at some jail time. The right thing to do is try and look up the rightful owner of the phone and return it to them. And the $40 is lost due to your own stupidity.
@youneek Why would you help a person who obviously purchased a stolen phone?
I hope you work under some guy cause you should be fired. and on wavesecure there should be the owners number on it. CALL HIM UP foo and return his phone.
I really hope the phone isn't rooted already and I also hope this guy can't figure out how to wipe the phone.........really I hope no one here helps this guy steal a phone!
A moderator should get his IP and hand it over to the cops...
Ugh... it's not hard to get around but dude, you probably bought a stolen phone. Why not call TMO and give them IMEI and let them help you track down the rightful owner? If you are indeed a TMO authorized reseller they shouldn't have a problem helping you do that. Call it your good deed for the day.
The only good to come from this thread is me realizing that I don't have a blackberry anymore and so need something like wavesecure, which apparently works in case some dumb piece of !&$# steals my phone. Hopefully no smart piece of !&$# ever steals it lol.
Shame on you, for purchasing a stolen phone. Hopeully,the owner will manage to get a lock in on your location and track you down.

Umm, am I the only one seeing that this post is 3 weeks old. It was probably posted to drum up business for wavesecure, and it was revived by someone with wavesecure in his sig. Maybe I'm too cynical for my own good but..
Lol who would sell a $500 phone for $40? I really hope wavesecure works and you cannot figure out how to get around it.

granted this happens with a lot of things.... when you buy a new car, chances are someone had a little fun with it... but yeah, it sucks
i dont blame the guy who took a pic of his junk... 1st thing i did when i got mine on wednesday lol
Depending on how much of an ass you are, that's a potential lawsuit right there man. If not I am sure you can get a bunch of free stuff to keep you quiet. If you want to go through all that.

back it up before taking it in, they may wipe it and then say there was nothing there
how would they do that? you bought a opened model?
When I called sprint to have my phone activated, the lady asked if the evo 3d came with glasses. How could someone who works at sprint not know that the phone is glasses free?
got mine from radioshack. I was the first preorder and they know me well, I walked in and they grabbed a evo 3d without even asking. and I watched her break the seal on mine. She did the ESN swap that was it. she didnt set the phone up in any way. There were 4 other people getting the e3d when I was in there, They updated the phone for them, set up gmail, facebook, twitter and all sorts of stuff. I guess thats nice but... not for me. I didnt get charged the $18 upgrade fee either. (or a activation fee at that) my RS store treats me right.
Escalate your claim NOW
OP,
Dude you gotta call cust care TOMORROW and ask what they think about this. You will get a big ass credit (pun intended) guaranteed.
Remember its not blackmail at ALL--its simply u asking for remuneration for the aboutt surprise your wife/gf/BOSS (boss is the best angle here) had to endure. This incident has caused you PROFESSIONAL HARM etc etc. Stay calm but firm and this could be very good for you.
Please please keep us posted****** Seriously back that **** up and then call in (by NO means go into ANY store)

So my cousin dropped my Prime...

As the title says. My cousin dropped my beloved Prime on the kitchen titles because she hadn't docked it properly. The tablet dropped out of the dock, but the keyboard is fine.
It has two massive dents in the top corners, because that's how it landed: on one corner (the top-right corner) and then 'bounced' onto the top-left.
How do I get this repaired? I really hate my expensive electrical products from being damaged, so I need it repaired ASAP - I ideally need it for college next week, but I know it won't be back by then.
Do I simply phone up ASUS UK and ask them how much it would cost to repair it, then send it away and give them however much they want? Or is there a different procedure?
Thanks guys,
Phil
Best of luck with that, but as all of the main electronics are assembled on the case back, you are talking about an almost total disassembly and reassembly plus a new back. That will be hideously expensive. Based on what camera companies charge for similar work, I would expect between £100 and £200.

That's why I've started this thread - I want to see if I can get it any cheaper.
ouch... Hopefully you have insurance on it? If so, then it won't be so bad hopefully, but if not it will be really expensive, likely more than it is worth. Does the tablet still work? If so, you might want to think of selling it for 200 or 300 if your lucky, and just buying a new tablet. I guess it just depends on the cost, but whatever it may be it won't be pretty. Sorry, best of luck to ya.
Claim on house contents insurance, or just live with it. It's only dents. Check your GPS though, might be working now

hes still alive?, mine wouldent be, xD
When it's customer induced damage, you have to pay for the shipping cost, the parts, and the hourly wage for the guys who preform the repair. This would probably require a complete dissassembly, and I bet 2-300€ wouldn't be overdoing it. Sadly...
Your probably better off selling it off at a loss and buying a new one if the dents bother you.
*EDIT: This^^^^
Wow, you guys are estimating pretty low there.
Considering they want $400 just to replace the screen on a $499 tablet, surely actually disassembling it and replacing the backplate would come out being more expensive than just buying a new tablet.
Really you're just SOL. I don't think it will be any time soon that your average repair shop (if at all) will be able to get the parts and do it at a reasonable price.
Either sell it at a discount to someone who doesn't care as much as you do or just toss it aside as entertainment for people/kids; use the same amount of money you would fixing it just getting a new one.

Repair guy wrecked my phone

Hey guys
I got this phone in August last year. I have bad luck with phones so I want to repair this one instead of getting new one. In the last 2.5 years, this is my 4th phone and I don't like upgrading phone all the time.
Earlier in January, I dropped my phone. Screen worked fine and everything but had a crack. I send for repair. The guy gives it to someone else without my permission to repair it. They repair it and since day 1 the top of screen is unresponsive. I turn screen off and on and then it works. The repair guy won't speak to me any more.
Now it has become permanent. It doesn't bother me as much but I hate it when random keys are being pressed. I think it's because of the pressure built on top?
I then again broke the screen accidently. So now I want to do it myself then get a defective screen and lose more money.
This is my first time changing the screen. To change the screen, do I follow same tutorial as outlined in the the sticky or is there something else? Also I'm confused as to what needs to changed. I don't know if they took something out of my phone and replaced it with something cheap. So do I simply replace the top layer of screen or the LCD? If the LCD, how would 3D work?
Also eBay is filled with screen replacement. If someone can give a link to a cheap deal that will fix my phone, it'd be great! Also the repair guy wrecked the housing of my phone. Is it replaceable?
Last but not least, should I sell the phone once fixed or I can continue to enjoy it? As in, will it break down again later down the road?
Go on amazon.com and buy a digitizer and follow the instructions guide to replace it. I'm not sure if you can buy a new housing or not. Replacing the digitizer should fix your issue. Also, be very careful that you do not tear any ribbons when replacing the digitizer. If you tear one, your phone will be no good.
Also, you could always just warranty it a sprint store. 9 out of 10 times they don't look for the sticker that tells if the phone has been opened or not.

If you can't help the OP then don't post, simple as that.
If you're in canada, look on your local Kijiji site. I've fixed HUNDREDS of iPhone and Android devices simply by advertising on Kijiji.
Look there, find someone who does iPhones and email him. He'll have the tools and expertise to properly repair your phone.
There is a screen replacement guide stickied in this very forum.

Sorry didn't tell about the phone.
It's from Rogers.
There is a sticker over the screw and when the tool is inserted, it voids it (the sticker goes in).
The guy won't reply to email and I really don't want to deal with another tech. So many just take any mobile when they have no clue and look up google to fix it! They won't even spend enough time to ensure it's ok because they have others to fix. I don't want to explain what happened between me and the tech guy as someone will post another "cool story bro" pic. Wasn't expecting that on this forums...
Anyway I doubt I can order from Amazon and having wasted so much money, I'd really appreciate if someone can link me to eBay for screen and digitizer (assuming it fixes the top of unresponsive screen)
So where did you sent it off for repair in the first place? IMO, you paid for a service, and if that service wasn't completed correctly, you send it back and they do whatever they have to do to make it right.
Don't you have insurance? I'm confused right now.
If you can't help the OP then don't post, simple as that.

I found someone on craigslist who said they will do it
They said it'd be done tomorrow. Takes them 1 week for parts to arrive.
Parts arrive, they go under renovation
2 weeks after, they open it up and say they don't have tools to finish it
1 week later I get it and it's repaired by someone else
Tell them problem, they say ask them since they repaired
The third party says its firmware problem and can't speak English well and ignore me
Few weeks forward
Take iPhone for jailbreak
Pick it up, it doesn't work properly
Bring it back, they refund exact same money on spot
They say it was already a problem and they didn't do anything wrong and can put old firmware back again
They say take it to Apple, they know more
Apple says the phone is finished
I DONT want to spend countless hours going back and forth. I just want to do things my way. The amount of time spent, if I just went to work instead, I'd have gotten a new phone instead.

That was a warning after deleting 5 unnecessary posts.
if i root my phone, the screen issue isn't permanent, is it?
And this is the second time i root, after having permanent screen issue with HTC hero. So I'm a little worried. If it's safe to root without damaging screen, which root would be best? I just want to get rid of some Rogers programs as they're causing my battery drainage very fast. It's like 2% a minute! Also will a reset fix battery issues?
I am going to underclock my CPU to make battery life long.
Took Evo 4G in for repair a while back, the USB port wasn't charging right, but it would if you propped it up the right way. Anyhow sprint gives it back, won't charge at all, then they tell me I cracked the motherboard and I'll have to pay. My word against theirs, I ended up having to shell out 50.

Why are you bumping? There really isn't much you can do, you should have sought a reputable repair shop, not just some guy on craigslist. If the guy isn't going to honor his work, you are pretty much out of luck.

Need help

Funny story...Well not so funny to me.earlier today I let my 3 year old play with my phone and he was fine until....he threw it.so I was wondering does anyone have a phone for parts that I can buy or one they can donate.please anything would help.I do have insurance but $150 doesn't fall out the sky when you have a 3 year old and bills to pay.
Love the screensaver man? Where u pick it up? Ask that guy tuscanni with the Sega pic. He was selling digitizers.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
Yeah he seems like he still has some parts, not sure what though. I keep track of his thread in case I'm ever faced with the same scenario good luck man.
