a buddy of mine told me that if you currently own a tbolt and call Verizon Wireless complaining about certain issues, they replace it with a Rezound. Has anyone heard anything about this?
If you get your Thunderbolt replaced for valid insurance purposes, they will replace it with a rezound since most, but not all, Verizon stores are out of Thunderbolts.
Some times, though, you won't be offered a rezound. Rather, you may get offered a LG Revolution... which sucks.
There is a post about it here:

You have to push a little if they don't offer it. We got my wife's Charge replaced with a Rezound last night. Took some prodding, they wanted to offer a Stratosphere or Spectrum or Nexus. When we pushed, they offered the Rezound or Bionic as well.
Just had my Thunderbolt replaced for a broken screen through the insurance of Verizon and I still got a Tbolt for a replacement . Guess they found some more.....

Same here. When I talked to the Rep at Asurion about my phone (sucky data connection) I hinted about the rezoned replacement. He told me that they have plenty of TBs around. Which is fine, I like the TB when it's working, with a good ROM it doesn't really matter what the phone is to me.

I think he's talking about my phone being replaced under the phone insurance program (Asurion). This is my 3rd TB from them so I think it's paid off. It's the first phone I bought insurance on and I'm glad I did. Having to cough up several hundred dollars for a new phone would suck.
Edit: Looks like they are out of refurbs at Asurion. I got a brand spanking new TB yesterday. It works beautifully (for now) I'm going to let it sit stock for a few days to make sure but then Jester's ICS will be on there in no time.

The Rezound. Personal preference, but the big part for me is the SD card. Yes, the Nexus has a slightly larger screen, and is, well, a Nexus device, but overall I just really have liked HTC's devices.

I know this was already answered but I thought I would share my (almost) awesome experience. Went into Big Red last week with my dead bolt. Employee took me through the crap troubleshooting process and set up the replacement order. Come to find out the order was for a GS3. Would have been sad to leave the amazing bolt community but hey, it's a new phone. Anyways, I get the package and low and behold... It's a friggin LG Lucid Went back to Verizon and eventually got another bolt. Just goes to show you never know what these guys will do.

You have to wait for the Eris to be out of stock for replacements in order to get something else. I tired it and they said they could send me a Devour or Ally. I promptly told them hell no, and said Eris or better. They said Eris is then all we can do. I said sure why not.

you tried through asurion or verizon?
verizon as the rumors suggested. Now I hear that Droid owners who are calling vzw with an issue are getting D2's(or in some cases Incredible's or X) instead because they don't have any replacement Droids in stock at this point in time(and they won't for a while).
This is in fact true! I'm currently on my 4th Eris. My speaker went dead last night. Called Verizon today. Incredible in my hands Wednesday. Cost me zero dollars. It's warranty only, not through Asurion, and I believe you have to have had a few replacements already. Woot! Incredible on Wednesday!
Sent from my Froyo Eris using XDA App
i just called in and they are sending me my fourth eris. Guess we dont all get a new incredible.
Verizon offered me a Devour or some other POS today.
So, If I am not happy with my Eris(mainly because of the lower end hardware vs even the Droid), should I just get the OG Droid off ebay for like $200 and then sell my Eris for $125. Then wait until October-November to call in and see what I get? Or should I try to call again and again to see if I can get something besides the Devour/Ally? BTW which has the better audio quality the Eris, Ally or the Droid?
It just comes down to what they have on hand. I'm currently waiting on my fourth Eris but if the stars align I'll make a post. I had to ***** like hell to get this one because the water damage sticker was pink.

Just call and tell them that but no guarantees on them giving you a different phone. I didn't even bother to because I hate talking to costumer service. If you are out of contract your best bet would be to talk to a customer retention specialist about your issue.

I am in the same boat as well. I've cracked my second Evo 3D within 2 months of each other. I haven't cracked any of my previous phones over the past 9 years, but I've had bad luck with my 3D lol. I am also about to drop Sprint for Verizon due to coverage at and near my house, basically non-existant. I moved from Hawaii to DC because of being Military and where I am at now sucks big time. I've been here for a while and have tried the airwave thing, but my area sucks in general. I have a Verizon blackberry for work and it always has reception where my Evo and Evo3D does not. Also, has anyone else had this happen to them?

Probably not losing as much as you think. Plus if you buy all the accessories and S crap they'll be making bank $$. $200 for Rezound $130 for Nexus sounds legit loool.
I'm also skeptical about this, got email from samsung and decided to search on xda and here i am. For my rezound its 200, but they are also offering $135 for my Hero S. Is this legit?
$15 for my Fascinate. Wowza. $200 for the Rez wouldnt be bad if we could get the GSM Nexus from google, but it wouldn't do much good if still w/ Verizon.
Before you guys get all excited about this, you should go to the Verizon S III forums and read about the issues that phone has. Horrible signal reception, locked bootloader, as well as other issues.

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
This is interesting...it appears Samsung is going for market penetration with the phone and trying to get as many people on the phone as they can, then allowing customers to sell to customers. Only downside I've heard is the signal quality, and even that I've only heard about on the forums. I can't tell you how many people I know have switched to the GS III. And every one of them is just giddy about their new GS III. This is people who previously couldn't care less about their phone, very non-technical. At least in my smallish circle, it's quickly becoming the iPhone of Android. Wonder if that's Samsung's plan...
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite happy with my Rezound with no intention of changing. Just making an observation.

I went through 7 refub Rezound's (overheating, random reboots) and they offered me the inc4g and extended battery in replacement and I accepted it and when it arrived I didn't realize it was noticeably smaller then the Rez which I didn't want a smaller screen plus it had only half the storage of the Rez so I called and complained and he offered me the Razr Maxx and this is much better then the Rez and I am now rooted and loving it.

Well after receiving 3 clnr rezounds for signal problems my current one I believe has a bad proximity sensor. I was on the phone with Verizon today for a while and the tech offered to replace it with a incredible 4g or a razor. Now I know there is like zero development for the Inc and close to that for the razor so my question is what would ya'll do? Or would I be better off trying another rezzy? I do like this phone besides all the problems I've had.

I do like this phone besides all the problems I've had.
Thanks for your input XDA

Quit returning working phones. Quit looking at your bars. That is what I would do. The proximity sensors for our phones can be adjusted. Play store app called Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator.
Not trying to be rude but I see posts like these all the time where guys have returned 10 phones for various "problems". Interesting when I know of at least 10 people with Rezounds in my group of friends and family and nobody has had to return one.

it seems to be hit and miss. my first rez i bricked. the "replacement" one i received had a dead headphone jack from factory my latest one VZW had zero adhesive on the top of the screen leading to its death about a week ago. this time VZW said that the screen was my problem and that i would need to go the insurance route. i took it apon myself to repair it and order a new glass and LCD.
i wish i would have never bricked my first one. it was the only one without problems. all replacements from VZW have been crap. :/

The problem I was having with signal was lack thereof. The phone would show good signal but I couldn't make phone calls or use my data for a few minutes up to an hour or so. I have three other people with vzw smartphones in my household which would work fine.
The phone I currently have had none of those issues. I've tried the recalibration tools and it didn't work.

I think I might do that. Do you have the dinc?
I guess I didn't realize that the development was moving forward. The last I've checked there wasn't much going on with it.

i blame this one the antenna in the back. if i remember correctly my replacements never came with a back i had to reuse them. i think this was the dumbest idea they had.

I never quite understood the reasoning behind that. I couldn't see the benefit of it. A friend has the iPhone 4, I believe he said the chrome piece around the whole phone was the antenna. That's a smart design, exterior antenna that looks good also. But I'm sure if any other manufacturer tried anything similar, lawsuit would arise.

save space i think. if you ever take apart the phone. there's zero extra room. :/

Yeah that is strange being my issues were related to the signal. Verizon tech support and I always did lots if trouble shooting before sending a new one out but the never even brought up the back cover as a possible culprit. It would have been a lot cheaper to send one of them out to try versus a new phone.
Well I do have a update on my replacement phone. I called back again and explained to the tech support guy that I do not want a razor and that I really need a screen larger than the Inc. He said ok let me see what I can do and then offered me a Samsung intuition or a LG stratosphere 2 or something like that. Told him probably not cause the sammy had a 4 inch screen and the LG just looked butt ass ugly to me. He the put me on hold again and offered me a razor maxx and again I said I don't like Motorola. Then I brought up the dna and he put me on hold again and came back and said he got that approved for my replacement.
It should be here tomorrow afternoon so I guess we'll see how it performs. I really do dislike changing phones all the time.
Thanks for all your input!!

Complain more and get a DNA or Razr HD. Both of those phones are not equal to the rez. Make that fact known.

Lol never mind... See you got your DNA.
Pray it has pre OTA software

Yeah I know that they are not and all I want for a phone on a plan that I pay a lot of money for is one that I do not have trouble with every couple months. The dna does seem to be pretty solid from what I've seen.
I sure hope it does too. Which I will have to wait a little longer to see since I received another Rezound (with a new back cover I might add) in the mail yesterday Now I have to wait for the tech that helped me Wednesday night to call me back and see what happened.

if it does come with OTA, only real option right now is pay 45 bucks for JTAG. Numerous people have successfully had it done.

What is JTAG? I've been reading that it pretty much impossible to gain root with the new OTA.

I forgot to mention that the tech support guy called me today and confirmed that it was a mistake on his end and that he will be sending the dna right away.

Don't know exactly... I just know it involves opening the phone up, hooking the phone up to a riff box and it s-off it... Probably Google it for better description
