What's going on with my amaze? I got it back from repair unrepaired (hate WIND, thieves) and the stock rom had sound working fine. Flashed nightmare sense, no sound at all, whether through speakers or headphones.

Also data stopped working on every ROM and so did sound. Starting to think that repair company that WIND sent it too really fkd my phone up
Fifth clean wipe, data works. Sound from speakers is completely gone? Wtf? I just found someone to buy the phone too... for $170...
I got my phone back from the repair company WIND sent it to (Futuretel) and they apparently replaced the entire motherboard without any cost. I also got my $80 dollar deposit back.
As for your current problem, time for an RUU restore?

Ruu worked, not touching it anymore, selling it at is.
Futuretel apparently didn't even touch my phone, it sent it off to another company that refused the repair. What a joke.
I was excited to get my amaze back, then the awful battery life + heat turned me off again. Getting Nexus 4 probably

How much are you going to sell your Amaze for? I'm thinking of doing the same so I have enough money to buy the 16GB Nexus 4.
i sold one of my amaze's for 220 last week.. as for the nexus 4, i wanted to buy it from google since everyone ordered them and is now selling them at a ridiculous buy back price...
Please help me on the sound issue... after installation sound is not coming and mic also not working...

Of course they do. A warranty exchange is mostly refurbished and like new phones. They are not new phones.
They dont have any new phones right now.

True... So does that mean that if i make a lost phone claim with assurion (tmobile's insurance company) they will not be able to get me an amaze and therefore would have to pick a new phone of equal value, persay, the Samsung galaxy s2?
I am aware that assurion always send a brand new phone with box and everything when phone is claimed lost, unlike the refurbished ones you sometimes get when you claim your phone damaged
There's another article that prevents htc from selling the HTC one X Due to legal battles with Apple that we're just announced today..
Pretty big blow to htc today as far as that's concerned

I dont even think assurion sends you a new phone either. They are all like new or refurbished. Now your other question, I would personally assume that you should be able to get the next phone HTC has out, which would be the ONE s, but I doubt they would do that. Honest answer, I would assume if T-Mobile had no phones to send you, or assurion, I would think they would send either HTC radar, or more likely, the my touch 4g slide. Both of which I would not want and are downgrades.

I highly doubt they would send him a windows phone. Now a mytouch slide, maybe. The slide isn't a bad phone, actually very nice. Just heavy/bulky due to the slide out keyboard.
If anything and no Amaze, I'd think a S2 would be shipped out.

asurion sent me a brand new phone in the box with headphones/charger/cable etc when I made a claim. That was back in november though, I'm sure as stock goes down they send out different stock, ie refurb. or trade ins etc.
and when you make a claim, you still pay a 'deductible' of sorts. With telus I had to pay 150 for the replacement, and considering the markup on phones, they still make money on every claim. Look at a $400 laptop, you think the amaze costs more to build then that? these phones are dirt cheap to make, with huge profit margins.
Have you seen what HTC stock is worth? needless to say, they're doing well
They sent you headphones? That's my biggest gripe with this phone is no headphones
Assurion isn't just TMobile it's also att and they send refurbs. When my g2 went out the only thing they offered was that dumbass sidekick...uh no thanks

When I made a claim for a broken HD2 very close to the release of the HD2 Asurion sent me a brand new unit in the box with everything, as described above. I'm sure in that time period when a phone model is very new they just don't have refubs available yet. After a few weeks they start to build up an inventory.

I did a claim on my Cliq and got the Sidekick 4G for my daughter. It was brand new even included a new Sim card... however if they did not have the Amaze if I were to put in a claim I would not want a sidekick LOL
I did a claim with assurion when my htc sensation screen broke back in January. They told me the htc sensation was out of stock and they sent me a refurbish htc amaze. It was crap !! Kept power cycling and finally refused to power on yesterday morning. I called and got really upset because the t Mobile rep was speaking to me like I was stupid so I asked for a supervisor and they sent me a new white amaze in the box with everything. Was really surprised that I got it today at noon. I usually don't get angry and I didn't even ask for a new phone.I actually said I want a refurb that actually works.

T-Mobile is out of stock of the Amaze. He didnt get that from T-Mobile themselves. First of all, they dont even sell the White amaze anymore. He got it from Asurion. If I were you, id call back up T-Mobile and make them give you the ONE S and make them pay the difference for them not having any left. I know they offered to do that with me last month when I first got the amaze and wanted to sent it back for a new one due to screen bleed.
Even though it was in the box and everything. I still dont think it was new. Even the refurbs come with the stick on the front of the phone etc etc. They just add the unopened accessories in the amaze box.
Even if its not new, if you cant tell a difference and its perfect, no big deal anyway lol
So I was having 4G connectivity issues with my Thunderbolt and after complaining, Verizon gave me a choice of the Razr or the Rezound. I went for the Rezound with the expectation that they'd send me the Beats earbuds as well. To my surprise they said that the earbuds were not included in the replacement.
Has anyone had any similiar experience and gotten different results? Just to be clear, this was a replacement NOT an upgrade.
Hoping I might get some thoughts on whether they were supposed to send me the buds or not.
Thanks.

No you're not supposed to get the earbuds
Whenever they replace a rezound, with another, it is just the phone. No sd card, no back, no battery, and no beats. If you get any of these, you are probably lucky. There is even a thread about warranty replacement of the earbuds, and they didn't get beats as a replacement. You might try to get another rep, and see if they will. Best of luck.

Nah no beats unless you already had some and are getting those replaced.

Got my Rezound as a warranty replacement for my droid charge. All I received was the phone, battery, and back cover. Everything I've seen indicates there's no chance of getting beats headphones as well.

Same here, got my Samsung Stratosphere replaced with a Rezound and no ear buds, but they are pretty straight-forward about it that you will only get the bare phone, battery and back cover may even come in a seperate shipment. This is normal, you didn't get screwed (well, not just because of lack of earbuds!).
Although, my Rezound for work was brand new and came with iBeats headphones, but work didn't really need them... needless to say, they never made it to the office the day I got the phone.

What went wrong with your Stratosphere that you got to get a Rezound.....if you don't mind my asking? Was it warranty replacement, or insurance? It's because I need to file a claim for my son's stratosphere, just wanted to see if it was possible to get something else.

Warranty replacement, but it is actually a little more complicated than that... I started with an HTC Incredible 2, I loved it and had no issues with it for a long time then all of the sudden it thought it was stuck in the dock all the time meaning every call went to speakerphone. Well, several factory resets and some time at the VZW store yielded a warranty replacement, except they didn't have any Inc2's anymore... anywhere (funny how the local store I was standing in had them though) so I was told I had to take a Samsung Stratosphere or send the device into HTC myself, so I took the Strat.
The Stratosphere worked fine for a couple weeks, then started randomly rebooting in-calls, especially if the far end would disconnect first, it never rebooted any other time but it happened in calls frequently enough that every call I answered or made the first thing I would do is warn the other end we might get disconnected and it was my phone. VZW replaced the SIM, no change. Factory default, no change. So by this time I was really irritated with the Samsung, especially after finding out the Strat wouldn't be updated to ICS like my old phone, so I called tech support again, and after two hours of complaining/whining/*****ing to three different levels of tech support, it got me a Rezound which I have been happy with ever since (I had this phone as a work phone since shortly after launch, so I knew what I was looking for).
So, in short, it was a lot more than just my Stratosphere died and they sent me a Rezound, usually to change phone models with VZW you have have to go through several replacements first.
Thanks for the feedback gang. Guess I feel a little better about not getting the headphones but now I gotta wonder if I made the right choice in taking the Rezound over the Razr. It's working well (even if it is a refurb) and I love the screen so I guess it's not too big a deal.
Honestly, the iBeats earbuds are nice, but other than the name I don't think I would say they are any better than a mid-priced (around $40-$50) set of earbuds from Wal-Mart or Target, grab a pair of Sony, SkullCandy, Sennheiser, iFrogz or whatever your favorite flavor is and you will likely be just as happy.
Although, I just keep a couple $20 pairs around because I know I will ruin them periodically by snagging them on something when I am working, or smashed in my computer bag, dropped in the parking lot, etc. etc. etc... I only use the iBeats when it is relatively "safe".
Assurion replaced my HTC Thunderbolt with a brand new HTC Rezound... which of course included the beats headphones surprisingly. It was a warranty replacement not an insurance replacement so I didn't have to pay any deductible. I guess I got lucky.

Asurion doesn't handle the warranty exchanges. You probably had a rep order you a new Rezound and a sup approved it. Asurion generally gives brand new in box w/ deductible.

Dude... I think I know the difference between Assurion and Verizon Wireless. Assurion gives a one year warranty on all of their equipmemt. The Thunderbolt I had was a refurbished Assurion device.
Lately my phone has been having what seems to be a hardware problem. The microphone barely works anymore. When talking on the phone, people are always telling me they can barely hear me, it sounds like I'm really far away, etc, even though I'm practically yelling into the phone. Sometimes it works fine and other times it won't pick up my voice at all. Also it cuts in and out in the middle of conversations.
To rule out the possibility of a software issue, I've tried the following:
Flash MeanROM, problem still persists
Flash CM10, problem still persists
Updated HBOOT to 1.19 (S-OFF) and RUU, problem still persits
Thus, I have concluded that it's a hardware issue with the microphone. The phone is only six months old, and the problem/defect has appeared through no fault of my own (always kept in case, never abused, never got wet). Yesterday, I took it to a local Sprint store to see if they would give me a replacement, and being that I do *not* have insurance on this phone, the employee wanted to charge me $35 to look at the phone and then maybe issue me a refurb if they did not find any sign of water damage, etc.
What experiences have others had regarding defective phones and no insurance? Threads on other forums suggest that some have gotten free replacements while others did not. What's Sprint's official policy on this? I do not think I should be held responsible for any fees considering it's a hardware defect. The employee said I can send the phone directly to HTC for the manufacturer warranty but it would take 15-20 days that I'd be phoneless, and my phone is S-OFF, so I'm a little hesitant about doing that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
I think sprints "official" policy would be no insurance=no replacement. Since it is rooted I would imagine your bootloader is unlocked which means u voided your warranty with HTC. My suggestion is it doesn't hurt to try but don't get pissed at sprint if u don't get it.
One workaround would be to get another phone and activate it online chat and ask to get insurance on it. Once u do that wait a day or two and swap back to your evo. The insurance will stay on the line. Then u can take it in and get it looked at for free if it is a hardware defect u should het a free replacement

You had the option for Warranty replacement but that could (not sure) very well be gone if you used their unlocking tool & S-OFF.

Can I make it S-ON again? I assume HTC would still be able to detect that I had done this, am I right?
That's a possibility, I'd make the effort to do so. Flash a fully stock Rom (RUU) before it goes back. If it fails, the worse that can happen is that they send it back.
Just be sure to photograph quality photos of the phone (front, back, sides & top) before packaging & sending it off when dealing with warranty exchanges.

Just flash it all back to stock, and take it in. Sprint provides the 1 year warranty. So they will check it out, if it fails for them you'll get a refurb. Don't need insurance for factory defect.

Right now it is back to stock, but the bootloader is still unlocked. I used the utility to make the bootloader look "stock" though, as it says *** LOCKED *** and S-ON however it is really S-OFF. A Sprint employee may not notice this but an HTC tech certainly will. Anyways, the sprint employee must have been misinformed or something. They said I would need to go through the manufacturer for the warranty and not Sprint. I'm going to go back and try to talk to a different employee and see if I can get a different result. Thanks.
What your looking at is the $35 service fee that Sprint charges you. Its basically a convince fee to save you the time of not having to deal with the manufacturer.
Id take advantage of the "advanced exchange program" pay the 35 bucks and take a refurb device. I did this last month. My original unit had a very loose headset jack.
I paid the 35 bucks and got a replacement. 4 days into the replacement the RF died on it. No signal what so ever. Took it back and they immediately replaced that too. BUT i lucked out. They only had white refurbs in stock. I said Nope. mine is black i want black. So i got a new in box unit. That normally isnt the case but with the 35 dollar refurb units, they still warranty that for 30 days..
after that its back to another 35 bucks for a replacement. I think its fair, afterall your not returning a brand new phone to them. Its a device thats been used and in your case rooted and flashed a few times.
I also think there could be gunk or something in the mic port. Wonder if they checked that.
Did you try to use a wired headset to see if that corrected the issue. If so then its definitely a mic issue.
Anyway, the 35 bucks is for the convinces of not having to wait while HTC works on it..
I bought a "like new" HTC One off of eBay. At first it seemed great and really did look like new.
Unfortunately I've come to realize the speakers are blown. Any audio above 50% volume crackles/buzzes. Sounds HORRIBLE at 90% volume +
Does anyone know if HTC or AT&T will cover their phones under warranty if you're not the original owner? I know with Apple the warranty is tied to the phone, I could buy a iPhone 5 off of eBay today, and if next week it starts acting up I could take it into Apple and they would replace it.
I contacted HTC support and at first of course they said "lets see if its a software problem, reset the phone blah blah" did the factory reset and of course it didn't help. Even when the phone boots up the AT&T jingle is distorted and buzzes. I told them the factory reset didn't fix the problem and the reply I got was something like:
"We are always updating the software to fix bugs. Be on the lookout for updates for your device to see if it fixes your problem."
...so a software update is going to magically repair the hardware of the speakers? Awesome. Anyway, even if they do ask me to send it in for repair do you guys know if it would be covered under warranty since I'm not the original owner?
Or would I be able to walk into AT&T and ask them to repair or replace it? Thanks.

I would also like an answer. I bought a used htc one recently and the top speaker is crackling like mad when the volume is about 3/4 the way up.
I know the phone has a one year warranty through htc. Anybody have any luck getting a replacement from htc or at&t?
Does the warranty transfer over to a second owner?
thanks!
Speakers are defective but screen has small crack? Warranty valid?
My phone has the same issue, but it has a very small crack on the screen.
Is the Warranty still valid? Is it true that if the screen is cracked the warranty is invalid?

I'm curious how you made out...did they replace the phone?
I literally just got off the phone with att. They did want to do a reset, but I told them I already did that. The lady, asked how I did it. So say you went into backup/restore. And tried restoring that way. She also asked about the water sensor under the phones flash. If there was any red in it. After that it was address verification, and telling me I'm the best part of att. No 15$ fee, no nothing.

i flashed and softbricked it...called Verizon they will send me a refurbished model! how sweet
but afterwards, I fixed it(stock-->flash/root)
so i have a choice of keeping my current one vs refurbished model.
which would you choose? is Refurbished a BAD choice?
I would go with the month old note my friend!! Especially if you have tested it (after rooting) and you are satisfied... I have a 6 month old Note2 and besides a couple of side scratches it works as well if not better as when it was a week old.... At the end though: Trust Your Instinct

I want to know how you got them to send you anything if you bought the phone second hand? They normally don't just give phones away....
Will they be renewing your contract?
Did you even ask them if it would?

I'm pretty sure it is because it was a defect/the phone is under manufacture's warranty. In other words, VZW isn't losing money off of it.
I've had two get two refurbished models due to defects, so as long as your phone works perfectly fine I wouldn't risk it.
Or he could have the extended service plan. It covers all kinds of stuff.

I say you should not be rooting and messing up your phone on your own and then taking it in saying its defective.

So why don't you just have them send you another? I really doubt that this is a common issue with refurbs. My phone just stopped charging a while back. I got a refurb and it's perfectly fine, as a bonus my original one did have a scratch that annoyed the hell out of me
