Had the USB port go out on my Sensation today, so a warrenty exchange it was......being that I had insurance to, I was given a choice for the Amaze as an alternate exchange!!!!!!!!
$5 warrenty processing fee and the Amaze should be here tomorrow, bittersweet as the development isnt as established on the Amaze, so I will have to hold tight for some AOSP build, regardless Im excited
Great deal man. Congrats.
Same here man.. I'm on my 9th dusty ****sation and they offered the Amaze as well. I'm waiting for UPS as we speak.

Good news..actually a blessing as you will at the least get more extended coverage of updates after ours winds down. I doubt we'll see anything past ICS and 2 maintenance updates.
This was my first issue, having insurance allows for alternative exchange offers on warranty exchanges

I think the Amaze is a better phone than the Sensation ( both in looks and hardware ) but honestly i wouldn't sacrifice the larger development section of the sensation! Anyway it's a matter of personal preference! I hope you enjoy your new (beautiful!) phone ! Cheers!

Only 5 dollars? Some rep at the tmo store told me I would have to pay 130 for replacement sensation. Care sharing how you did all this?

did you break the phone? Breaking the phone, you have to go through Asurion and pay the $130 deductable, my issue was a manufacturer issue, which couple with having insurance, costs me a $5 warranty fee

im planning on claiming a loss, but what kind of maufacturer issues are included?
claiming a loss is an insurance claim, thus the $130. Man issues would be anything related to a issue with the phone not physical damage basically. screen goes out, button doesnt work, wont charge (my issue) ect.

How long ago did you purchased your Sensation ? I'm Wondering if I’m still covered under warranty since I've been having few issues … I got mine the day it came out on T-Mobile USA since i was kinda waiting for it already...
Your covered, you get a year warranty

Used your idea, I dropped mine once with The case off dumb move on my part and got a small scrach. And then my keys scratched up the metal part around the camera lenses the one place the d30 case doesn't cover, 2 mins on the phone new cover on the way no questions no charge. I hit the thanks button. Good on HTC for that one. I didn't tell them it was because I messed it up of course
Just got off the phone with them. Worked great. Thanks for the heads up.

Called the number. Told him the tech support guy that I had been having problems with the battery door being creaky, and going to Tmobile stores and them not being able to help.
He transferred me to the Parts & Warranty department. I told the rep the situation, that I have had problems with the battery door/housing being creaky, not staying locked to the phone.
She checked my warranty on the phone, and even though I just bought this phone used off craigslist, the warranty was still active. She informed me that we are able to get ONE FREE replacement of each type ONCE PER warranty of a HTC phone. Once you call in ONCE they mark your warranty on the phone, and won't let you call back again.
She said that I could get a free replacement battery door/housing, USB cable, SD card, and battery. So I told her i'd like one of everything I could get.
She said Okay, I got email confirmation, and next day it was shipped via Fedex. Will have the package next tuesday.
EXTREMELY happy considering, the housing goes for $30-60, the charger $10-20, the battery $15-25. I'm not even 100% sure i'll be keeping this phone, but now I can sell it as mint condition on ebay for at least 100 bucks more than I paid for it.

Doubt that will work. you think if I told them my story would understand and allow me to send the cracked one back.
Also I already had the screen replaced once but it ended up in the person who fixed it screwed up the capacitive lights and did not seal screen on tight enough so dust got behind the screen.

Verizon wont let me do that. I just talked to them. SO I got a better idea! File a claim with asurion (how ever you spell that) and say my phone got "stolen" so they will have to give a new phone with everything. I pay the $100 they give me phone with battery, charger, memory card and I sell mine the one I said got "stolen" on ebay for $100 and technically I will have my money back.

Hey guys, so i am probably the first to crack this screen ..fell out of my pocket getting out my car....nearly cried...screen unresponsive except a 1x1 inch area... I think phone works okay otherwise from what i can seee
No insurance obviously why im posting... Does anyome have any experience sending back to lg to get it repaired? I got a quote from a place in chinatown ny for 200... And lg wont quote me until i send it in...was wondering what others have done or recomendations.... I have an upgrade on my plan i can steal so i can also sell the phone ebay...but not suring how well that would go.....
What ya'll think?
Dunno, what version is it? Maybe you can make a dev very happy with it, if you give up on it.

If you got some spare time and nifty fingers you could wait for replacement screens to be sold. Or maybe use it as a htpc or something.
I have insurance with T-Mobile because I just joined them and their Jump program includes it but when I was with Sprint my ex broke her S3 and we had no insurance, I just called them up and asked for it on the phone and they added it and then I waited a few days and put in my claim and got a new phone after paying deductible. So give it a shot and call and ask to add insurance, maybe you'll get lucky.
List it on eBay you will be shocked as to what you will get for it.

Nah. Some guys girl broke hers like 2 days ago. Threads around here somewhere.

Add the insurance if you don't have it. You have 30 days to do it and the phone hasn't even been out that long so you can definitely add it. Wait a couple days and make a claim. It'll cost you $199 on most carriers, maybe all of them, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new one. And if you want to keep the old one for some reason or donate it to a dev somewhere as suggested earlier then report it as lost or stolen. You won't be able to use it on any carriers but for development or WiFi functions you could still use it up to you.

Are they offering open enrollement for phones not purchased at BestBuy?
Verizon is and $110 would be the cheapest way to get a new phone replacement.
I bought my Note 2 on ebay last year for $200 and cracked my screen with no warrenty.. called Verizon they have open enrollement right now. Only question I was asked was whats wrong with the phone?"screens cracked" New one in the mail next day..cancel the insurance afterwards if you think it's a rip there's no contract on insurance.
I've never dealt with BestBuy so maybe they can fix it right now cheaper then $110

This. I bought the full assembly (AMOLED+Digitizer+Metal Frame) from this guy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/191076189569
And followed this tutorial (there were some small differences since he used a Global N2):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-2zrZ_aNo
With some patience and a mini-screwdriver I was able to bring a Note II to like new condition. If you get the full assembly with the frame you should be able to restore the phone to near factory state. I definitely wouldn't try replacing just the glass, or even glass+digitizer without the frame, there's too much risk and you're never going to be able to get the adhesive just right.
@funnyperson1 I thought you had a cheap fix for people with cracked screens it's the same price to have a professional do it lol
Heck... I seen a sweet looking mint VZW SCH-1605 - stuck in a simple bootloop on ebay sell for $150 today free shipping
Sadly there is no cheap way on the note 2. I mean if you wanna risk doing just the glass and curing loca glue then yea.

roflcopterssoisoi is right, there isn't really a good cheap alternative for the Note 2.
You can replace just the glass and reglue yourself for $30, but it's risky and probably won't come out right (at least I know it won't if I do it).
You can get a professional to replace just the glass for around $125 (that's what MobileTechVideos charges)
For around $80-123 you can replace the lcd, digitizer, and glass but that still requires melting adhesive, prying,and hoping you don't mess up.
For between $120-150 you can get lcd, digitizer, and frame and replace the components yourself. This is what I did and it was pretty easy, hard to mess up.
For $200+ you can have Samsung, MobileTech or someone else replace the screen for you.
For me the decision was easy because the digitizer and amoled were completely dead, otherwise the MobileTechVideo repair for $125 is appealing. Still, for a couple bucks extra and an hour of my time I like the idea of having a like new, non-damaged assembly.
Yes almost all the options are expensive, but a working Note 2 goes for $300+ on Swappa and eBay. If you repair it and resell it, you'll probably get your money back. You could probably repair it, use it until the Note4 is released and still get your repair money back.
If you had another phone to use you could even sell the parts for a cracked Note2 for more than $200 total. The motherboard is going for $150-180 on eBay, selling the cracked screen and other parts may add up to $100+. You could certainly get enough to buy the bootloop N2 and fix it via Odin.
