I'll let you know today. I am expecting my replacement Rezound any time now cause my first one the screen just stopped working.
If I get an obviously refurbished unit I will be extremely pissed. It better be brand new, thats all I really care about honestly.

well it better LOOK brand new, cause the one I'm sending to them looks like its never been used... except the screen don't turn on anymore.
Just had 2
2 Refurbs from last week (or maybe 2 weeks ago) came as original issue.
My Rezound # 4 still ran hot, so I called VZW for a refurb (refurb # 1; those other 4 were during the worry free). First refurb came and it shot up to 130 degrees almost immediately (meaning, I set up market, downloaded battery indicator; and then while it forced an update of the 7 bloatware apps which were updated since the original market, it got super hot). Called VZW and they dispatched another one, while I sent back refurb #1.
Refurb 2 came, and didn't misbehave, so I temprooted while I could, restored titanium, and once again, turned my back for too long and it processed the OTA. At least I had Titanium Restored.
Epilogue: I kept Rezound # 4. Refurb # 2 ran about the same temps (idled hotter but didn't get as hot running apps), so I stuck with the phone I knew worked.
I just have received 2 in 2 days..........first one came with a bad earpiece and the 2nd today is great. Both came with the latest software and both looked just like new.
Well, my phone did not arrive today as promised. I called Verizon, and the guy who answered very apologetically explained to me that "the manager" had "rejected" my warranty on the basis that he didn't want to approve the free overnight shipping.
They said that they tried to reach me via telephone unsuccessfully, to which I replied: "So let me get this straight... I went to a store for a new phone cause mine didn't work. You didn't want to pay to send me the new one overnight, so you tried calling my phone which you knew didn't work to explain the situation, and when I didn't answer you just cancelled the order? Brilliant work. I can see how you became the biggest wireless company in America." ...to which I got an awkward pause followed by more ass-kissing from the guy on the phone.
So anyways, hopefully this time it gets done correctly. Once again they promised to overnight me a replacement Rezound, however its beyond the cutoff for it to go out tonight, so I won't actually get it til Friday. Ahh, so frustrating!
Damn man, what a freakin' joke though. For such a simple and straightforward exchange this is turning out to be quite difficult a task for them...
Well I am on replacement #3 and I just got it home opened the box and what do you know? The frame on the USB connector is loose. It makes all kind of rattling when the phone vibrates, I had this problem with refurb #1. Hopefully #4 is lucky. This one had the latest ver 2.01 OTA already installed. Phone looks perfect otherwise. I am going to be calling Verizon in the morning. The people that work the phones at night are generally useless when it comes to the tech support end of it, although they do have some good people over there...

HBOOT 2.10 most likely means that the firmware has not been updated to the latest OTA. That COULD be a good thing if an S-OFF exploit becomes available for that HBOOT. One would only assume that the newer one might be harder to break. However, it really doesn't matter if you are careful, S-OFF just makes everything straightforward.

All Rezounds come with 16 GB.
Here's a guide for the classes:
Class 2 is 2mb per second.
Class 4 is 4mb per second.
Class 6 is 6mb per second.
Class 10 is 10mb per second.
Google is pretty cool bro, you should check it out sometime.
Side note: I own a class 10 and if you transfer a lot of files to and from your phone, I highly recommend spending the extra cash for the speed.
I thought that people where having trouble with the class 6 and 10 and having the phone recognize the sd card. I think I only saw one or two posts on it so maybe it wasnt wide spread.

Lies.
It will be a refurb! Your best bet for a New one is going to a store. I did back at Christmas time when my original was getting almost to hot to handle and was operating extremely slow. When you called you should have insisted on a new one! I got my original on November 27th and it was December 28th that I went into the store and felt with the salesman and I told him it has only been a little over a month and that I was not taking a refurb. And he said "well let me see if we have any in the back" and low and behold they did. I was thinking he was going to give me the box and take my old one and send me on my way but he had me take the Sim out and he put it in the new one and put the broke one in the box that the new one came in with the headphones. Darn! Thought I was going to make out with an aditional set of Beats, but no such luck! BUT I did keep my 16gb card from the old and he left the 16th in the new so that was a bonus!

I just got my replacement Rezound today finally! Looks brand spanking new - perfect screen, new back cover, new 16GB SDCARD, nothing is loose or appears broken at all. I'd say I'm pretty happy overall, just took a whole damn week to get it sorted out!

Was thinking of upgrading from the Dinc to Rezound. What's with all these "replacement" phones? Is the quality that bad that it takes 2-3 to get a good one? Or are these just exceptions?

My first one was perfect til the screen mysteriously died. My first shot at a replacement went well too... I don't expect any issues with my replacement phone so far.. It seems to be in perfect shape.

I've been getting random reboots.
3 times since I got it. Since yesterday this thing has been freezing and locking up and just frustrating the crap out of me.
I haven't taken any ota cause I want root.
Thanks for any input.

Take the OTA
Root was achieved on a device that already had the ota. I took it and my phone works great.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
the reccomendation, however, is to not take any further OTAs. I personally am not taking any... because I don't know if the new hboot prevents a downrev to the eng hboot.

Yeah I would wait until s-off. Root will be here soon try a factory reset
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide
I'd rather be guaranteed root than an ota. I'd try a hard reset first.
Damn. Too late. But I got the ota that made the phone disappear from the lock screen so I think I'm safe. I wont take anymore.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The ota has nothing to do with the freezing. I had the ota and the same thing kept happening to me. I took My phone back and got a new one. This time I didn't take the ota and I don't have any issues. I think some of the phones are just buggy. If you have a 3vo then you have one out of the first batch. HTC makes great phones, but they don't always get it right. Remember how buggy the TP and the TP2 were.
I got one of the phones with no dead pixels and stuff. I don't wanna risk taking it back and getting one even worse.
After the ota things feel much better. Let's see if the same thing happens. If it does, any ideas what to do? Wait for root and put a better rom? Or get it replaced?

So I guess the person I spoke to is full of ****. I called Sprint yesterday to get a replacement and I was told once you replace the phone during the first 30 days, you cannot get another replacement. I see he is a liar since you already got 3.
It's not YOUR fault if the phone came defective.

this 4th phone better be pristine..
1) no locks
2) is able to charge

It was Sprint customer service that I spoke to. Took me 3 different people to finally send me a replacement. The first two were telling me I needed to go into a Sprint store to have the moron tech in the back "look" at it. I know the phone is having problems, I dont need this guy to tell me that. What also pissed me off was my friend telling me he was on the phone with them for 10 minutes and had a new phone on the way. I kept getting the run and around and wanted to choke someone. Customer service is definitely good, but they have a few morons here and there.
My phone suffers from the not sleeping issue, so I asked customer support about replacing it. I asked what would happen if the replacement I got also ended up being defective, and they told me that I could get it replaced again.
I'm just scared of getting one that's worse than what I have. The sleep issue is the only big problem. My screen is also slightly rotated and is a little warmer in colors, but those aren't tooooo major. No dead pixels or anything. I just hope my replacement has no issues at all. I can deal with the warmer colors on the screen, but that's as far as I'd want it to go.
Now after two hard resets my phone is stuck in 3D mode. After wiping ENTIRE phone twice my camera won't work LOL. Weird thing is, soon as I hit camera there's just a black screen, then I switch over to 3D it puts my ENTIRE rom in 3D. I'm not joking. The homescreen and everything is doubled and fuzzy like the 3D is stuck. Im so disappointed with this phone I don't what to say......screw the 3rd phone man I don't even want a third one. P.S I'm typing this on the new 3D feature the xda app has that I wasn't aware of :rolls eyes:

That sucks man..shame since once you get a good one its a pretty amazing phone.. I love it more and more every day ..but US early adopters usually get the ****ty ones
I'm lucky. No problems yet.
I bought my new Rezound on 12/2.
I bought it with two of the 2750 batteries & when it was new the battery life was amazing.
Now, for some reason my battery life has dropped drastically & when I am streaming audio (iheart radio) the phone gets so hot I can barely touch it.
I tried factory resetting it & using a different battery but it didn't make any difference.
I went back to the VZ store where I bought it, & the girl told me they would send a replacement phone but it might be a refurb. I darn sure don't want a refurb at this point.
Does it sound like this phone is defective and if so, how do I handle this??

i was in the same boat. i got my brand new phone replaced with a refurb. it hasn't bothered me yet, but if it does I know I have till Jan 15th to get it replaced. this refurb hasn't given me any trouble yet, it's gotten up to 105 but that's about it.
If you bought it from Verizon directly, go to the store or call customer service (*611) and swap it out. They should give you a new one if you want it as long it's before Jan 15. Once you're past Jan 15, you're in the warranty replacement zone where you should expect refurbs. IMO, there is absolutely nothing wrong w/ refurbs, in fact I'm pretty sure the last one I received solved my own overheat issue (still testing). When it came, it was mint, and if it wouldn't have been, I would have kept replacing it until it was.
no overheating streaming pandora or amazon mp3 music. I would get it replaced.
Yeah you have till January 15th to return or exchange it.

Just went through the same thing... Almost. I bought my phone on Dec 2nd as well. My phone overheated constantly. On Saturday my phone decided to go into an endless reboot so I called Tech Support and explained the situation. He said the heat may have fried something and I could get a replacement. I immediately told him that I hadn't had the phone long enough to have to get a refurb and he totally agreed. He said I had 30 days to return a defective product for a new phone or a new model with no restocking fee. He also added that I actually had a little longer because of the Holiday return policy. Took my phone into the store on Sunday and told them Tech Support sent me in to get a new replacement because of my issue. No questions were asked and the guy even went through multiple phones per my request to find the latest pink buttons that we could. Walked out with a brand new phone and I no longer have heat issues. The battery seems to last longer as well. Hopefully this doesn't change. On the way out he told me if there were any more issues, I had 30 days to get a new replacement.
My advice, go get a NEW phone. If you need some ammo to win your argument, take a screen shot of your battery temp with you.

Well, success finally.
I went to a different VZ store this afternoon and they agreed there was something wrong with the phone but they didn't have any in stock.
Even if they did, the rep told me they could not give me a new one but gave me a number to call at Verizon.
I called and ended up talking to three different guys before they agreed to send me a new one in a box. I will have it tomorrow morning.

What temps did your phone hit?
Boy am I ever glad I got my phone replaced.
Even with ALL DAY audio streaming it has never gone much over 100° F.
I am also getting an entire day from one 2750 batt & the old phone was eating up two a day.

Wow I'm jealous of the great customer service... I went to my store with over heating issues (130f after 20 min of angry birds, went as high as 137 streaming audio) and my battery only lasts about 6 hours on regular use. the guy said it was adw launcher causing the problem, bc your not supposed to run another launcher over sense. So I force closed adw and went to sense. I put a live wallpaper on and watched the temp go to 111. So he says its probably the task killer I'm running, that your not supposed to run them bc the phone doesn't need it. So I realize he is pretty much is not going to really help me so I got a little crappy. He told me to call customer service maybe they would help. Customer service eventually sent me another phone, but not a new battery. My new phone now has the same exact issues, and I tested this one first by only putting angry birds on it and that's it. It got to 127 after about 15 min. And the battery still doesn't last more than 6 or 7 hours. So I guess now I'm just wondering what the Heck I have to do to get this properly solved?

like most verizon reps, that guy is a moron. yes, it's true that a task killer SHOULD NOT BE RUN ON THIS PHONE! however, running ADW over sense isn't bad for the damn phone; that's what that app was designed to do..replace a launcher!
either way, he was a tard, and i'm sorry that he was such a dumbass. most of them are. so either way, the phone they sent you is a refurb if they didn't send you the battery. go to another verizon store, talk to another customer, complain to customer service that this is ridiculous, that you bought a brand new phone, ti was CLEARLY defective, they sent you a REFURB and that you want a brand new phone. the poster above got a brand new in box phone sent to him, you should try the same.

I just sent mine back for the back cover cracking. I got tired of it and figured now would be a good time to do it while we wait for ICS and while we watch the Xron rom become even better. But has anyone else had to send theirs in to HP? Do you get a replacement or the same one back? Is it a refurb? Did they finally fix the issue with the cracking backs so I won't have to send it in again? How long did you have to wait for a new one?
I have sent mine over a month ago. They are really quick with that process. It takes about a week from the day UPS collects it to the delivery back to you. If you are in Europe so they will send it to Hungary to get it fixed. Mine got replaced even though I asked to change only the cracked case. But probably they decided to change the whole thing because I also had dead pixel. You can't say whether the device is refurbished or new but so far didn't have any issues! Good luck waiting and I believe that you might also get another device. But if otherwise let us know. I wonder how many people get theirs replaced and how many get only their cases fixed.
they discussed this on the xron thread. apparently this is a common problem with the case
cracking near the battery door. from that thread they replace with a refurbished unit. you can have it sent before sending your broken one back but it requires credit card information. one guy had his replaced 4 times for cracks.

Crazy. I don't use the tablet enough to justify having them send me one first. Especially right now when we're all still waiting for a big breakthrough for ICS. Seems like I might only be looking at a week and 1/2 max from what some people have said. I'm saddened that some people have had cases with multiple backs with cracks. I thought the HP Touchpad would be designed well and not be another Palm Pre...
are the cracks cause by the hp case or just stress cracks from a poor design?
Anyone having this problem, I read somewhere that if you ask for "advanced exchange" then they will send you the replacement first and if you don't send yours back, they charge your credit card.

tiny crack so far
I was able to land 3 32gb tp's during the first fire sale and I only se a few mm crack at the corner of a speaker on one of them. Could it be certain production batches were more prone to cracks?

Possibly. My girlfriend's isn't doing it but she barely uses it right now until we get Android ported over to it. I'm waiting for ICS to be stable before I do it because she's not technically inclined like I am. Though I bought both on the day of the fire sale.

Haha thanks for that I've been around Xron since Alpha 3 for CM7 came out. I think ICS is going to be a big step forward from GB since they're putting so much time in to it. According to Dalingrin it's mostly done.
Roger that. It will be interesting to see how ICS comes out of the oven for sure . Meanwhile I'm diggin 2.3.7.

Yea it will. I'm hoping it's going to be better than 2.3.7 right now. I don't want to give her a tablet that's always messing up and not connecting and stuff.
I've had my TP since the first firesale and just noticed the crack by my speaker a 2 weeks ago. I wasn't going to send it to HP but I may ask for them to send me the new cover first since they are doing that.
Mine has just been picked up and on its way to Hungary!!! apparently a bad batch of plastic was used and the "new" plastic shouldn`t crack

Yea. I've heard that excuse before. But maybe it's actually true.
Heads up...
The advanced exchange is now a $59 fee. No longer a credit card hold. I just got this info from my chat session of dead external speakers on my 16GB Touchpad (internal HP firesale, August 2011).
At least I'll get the same unit back and it doesn't have case cracks (knock on wood).
YMMV, maybe my chat person was having a bad day.

More than a 1/3rd of the cost of my 32GB TouchPad haha. What makes you say you're going to get the same unit back?
Also what the heck does YMMV stand for?
Just curious if anyone else running cm10 based roms are experiencing the random phantom touches at any degree? I've had it on Mazda's AOKP and CN(A) build, agrabrens cm10, Lens_Flare's Aokp build as well as his PA port. Along with running Vanilla, Mac, and anthrax kernels.
Just thought to maybe try flashing a nand of an ICS backup I have to retest that when I get off work. But it seems it's doing it more and more and I'm thinking it is most likely the digitizer :/ ...
Praying it isn't but its looking that way.
If that is the case, anyone know if that's a component they can swap out at a sprint repair shop?
If not I may have to order one because I need new rear speaker as well, and just do replacement myself.
Side note: it was a hella PITA typing this with cursor randomly jumping around and random keys being pressed.... :sigh:
Thanks in advance for any input.

My Dad's 3d is having the same issue and it makes it impossible to use. I think it's the digitizer, so he's taking it to the Sprint store for them to check. I'll report what they say (if I remember to )

100% stock ICS.
I've been having this issue for a couple months now. Running stock ICS on Sprint. It comes and goes though. Sometimes it will do it for days at a time and then go away for a week. I turned on the development screen tap dot so I can see when its doing it. I usually have to just push the standby button off and back on and it might go away.
I'm going to take it to the Sprint store eventually to get replaced or fixed. I just don't want to get some crap referb when my phone is still in close to new condition with no other issues.

Hmm. Never thought about possibility it could be the screen protector?
May try to peel it off and see if problem persists.

Sounds like the digitizer. Same problem I'm having. It's been driving me crazy lol. Im actually taking it to sprint in the morning to get it replaced. Only $35 without insurance so rather than do it myself, I'm having them do it
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Well I rushed from work today to make it to Sprint Repair shop by 6... I had already called and asked if they would replace it earlier this afternoon. Once I get there, of course they ask me to duplicate the problem and show them what its doing. And like any and every other thing you do, the moment you go to show someone, you cant replicate it!
My phone was trying to act brand new. The paint app that I installed earlier was totally placing lines all over where I was not touching. Stupid thing worked flawlessly not doing anything wrong. Couldnt get my texts to press random keys like they have been doing for 3 weeks now. XDA app was working fine, when it stays clicking posts and popping up the box to thank, reply etc...
So obviously, without showing any issue, there wasnt anything they could do for me. And just as I knew would freakin happen, the moment I left and started texting on the drive home, low and behold it starts going nuts again. Couldnt get it to do anything for me in the store, but soon as I rounded the corner and saw my house it was phantom touching all over the place. So I was pissed.
I don't know how much longer I can go before I superbowl spike this thing.
UGH!!!
I'm going to have them replace it even if I can't duplicate it in front of them. I KNOW what it's doing and why and like you, its driving me insane. Im not leaving until its replaced. Been dealing with it for weeks

I also called today (well yesterday now) thats how I got the price. I could do it myself but, Im not a patient person and I'd have to restrain myself from trying to rushing so as not to mess it up, so figured it'd be safer 2 let sprint do it. For the amt I pay for service, plus to havr it done, they better do it without a problem. Sure they will, theyre pretty decent where I go
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Well good luck and keep me posted. Im probably going to go back tomorrow and see what I can have done. Manus need to start using better hardware. Its not like consumers are going to rush out and buy their latest and greatest phone 6-12 months later when they are under a 2 yr contract anyway, and 95% of people aren't going to pay full price. They will wait for their upgrade period to get the phone at 199...

Will do and yes they do. No most customers won't. I actually bought mine off ebay because upgrade was to far away and still got like 3 months before I can. They should let people upgrade at least once a yr even if theyre on 2yr contract, because when you upgrade, you have to extend your contract another 2yrs anyways or at least a yr. Even if they say you have to take the 2yr contract in order to upgrade a yr early. By the way, good luck on yours tomorrow too, if you go back

So I decided to hop on craigslist. Found one person selling Evo for parts for 50% then another person who needs to sell by tomorrow for 100$ obo. The second looks pretty mint as seller states its been in otter box for entire lifespan.
My question now is, if I was to get the second of the two, could I just swap over my internals to that phone?

Yes you can swap your internal parts. A little advice though if you do that..you may wanna use your back so you have your msid # and serial # incase you ever need it or sell it. I went to sprint today and at 1st the guy said my phone had to be replaced but can't be because it's rooted. Another guy came out and said they had the part but didn't know if they could do it because it's rooted and I told him, yes they can, Ive done it before, as long as it's hardware and not software related so, he said, ok and he replaced my digitizer

Very nice. Free?
I decided to nand back to an ICS sense backup and ran the calibrate on it. Then did fresh install back of cm10.
So far I haven't had any issues, but I'm keeping a close eye in it. If it starts back I guess I'll try a different sprint store for the repair. Hope it goes as smoothly for me. But most all reps I've had to deal with don't wanna help at all.
Did they make you show them it messing up?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
No it was $35 if Id of had the ins, itd of been free and as soon as I was walking into the store, it started acting up and soon as the guy unlocked the screen it went crazy. Ive tried do fresh installs and it worked for a short time then back to messing up

Here's an interesting thing. I am on my third note with the other two being replaced due to screen and USB plug issues respectively. I get my new note and it is remarkably better. The GPS works where it couldn't even lock before and the phone itself is sooo smooth. It this how it was supposed to work the whole time?
Did you find the coffee and bacon making feature yet? I hope your replacement is fully functioning.
Bacon ??
Yeh...mine makes bacon...but no sausage.....so I'm upgrading....LOL
Mine has a built in toaster.

Mine has always been fine ...unless I jack it up ....(happens weekly )..
That said ...enjoy it ....g
Sent my Note in a week before my warranty was up to have the screen fixed. Now the screen is much better than it ever was before. The screen was great before but it is noticeably sharper and brighter. My buttons are also super bright now. I think the screen has to be a hardware upgrade that could only be in a new Note or replacement screen.

Same here. Mine was replaced twice for different issues and the 3rd must be the charm. Colors are more vibrant, screen is brighter, and the phone is smoother. And it's a refurb. Weird.
More and More
Sounds as if xda really works
I'll be getting a warranty replacement device in another day...
Mine failed the ATT update, and the device is messed up badly... ATT did some sort of diagnostic thing over wifi and data at the same time, and said my files were damaged somehow from the redbend OTA push.....they just said a new one is on the way for FREE.....
I hope the next one runs well, like my last one did....R.I.P. I717.....g

So after an hour on the phone with ATT, my new note 2 will arrive Monday, and they don't want the new device back.
The tech told me too put a button in and sell it.

They gave you a note 2 in exchange for your note 1?

Yes ....but with a one time, $36.00 upgrade charge.
I've been a customer with them for nearly 15 years, since the early days and I also hold a level one business account.
So results for others will likely not be the same.
I've got 11 contracted devices in service with ATT, for my employees.
Having device replacements coming is much easier under those conditions.
They also let me keep the new device, and the tech told me to sell it for parts or repair the button and sell a new working device.
I've got a new power button coming Monday, and a shop I use regularly that will fix it for me too sell.
All together I'm placing 5 devices and their cases, chargers and packaging up for sale this week as I'm getting ready for the move into the note 2 this Tuesday.
I'm planning to stay around the note 1 section for a while, as we have many new users needing help from those of us who have been around this device for a while.
And I've also got duties to perform with the super thread and our Korean note users needing a section built inside the super thread space.....g
