My phone broke the other day, so I paid Asurion the $100 deductible and they sent me a refurbished one. It sucked. Terrible build quality. I called them again and they said they are out of Rezounds and will send me some LG crap. I refused, guy talked to his supervisor and got me a Droid DNA. Comes tomorrow. Pumped.

Very nice. Looks like I may have inadvertently helped make this possible for you. Mine had just got a cracked screen so I ordered my replacement Rezound last week from Asurion so it now looks like I got one of the last Rezounds available. At least they included a new battery, battery cover, and new 16gb sd card so I feel like I made out but a DNA would have been nicer. I missed out on this by just a week .:crying: Enjoy...

Well, it isn't all good. The development there isn't as advanced as it is here. Their Android 4.2's seem buggy. And the best Sense 5 rom is a port off the HTC One, not the Butterfly (same phone but japanese version) which had 4.2.2 and Sense 5 rolled out to it. I wish there was a plain old 4.3 out now.... Oh well. You know what they say. If you don't like it, change it. Time for me to start learning how to develop!
Maybe I should get my rezound replaced as I cracked my screen lol

Do it! They probably will give you a replacement Rezound. Try the flash on the camera. All the Asurion rebuilt Rezounds has like a reddish hue. Complain and they should try again. If it's the same problem then their policy says you get a new one, not a refurbished one. Hopefully they are still out of new ones and you get merry pickings on a new phone. Try and see if they will give you an iPhone 5. Sell on Ebay for full price and get a brand new/new phone *cough* HTC One

They make some sweet cases with batteries built in. I emailed them a couple weeks ago and finally got a response. First email they sent back was kinda funny. They didn't believe I had the At&t version. Said they didn't think it had been released. Made it funny because I was using my phone to email them.
The model for our phone should be up for sale November 10.
Here's some screenshots of the email.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I'll be getting this case as soon as it's out! I see that they already have the Tmobile version available on their site.
Crap I just bought a extended battery, looks like I'm buying another one.
That looks pretty much ideal.
How much though?
I am ALL over this! Hopefully the case will look nice. By reading the description for the Tmo version, it sounds like the case will be silicone?
probably, the one i had for my inspire was silicone, but the price is nice
Still not out yet. What's up with that!
Maybe they got wind of the Skyrocket and decided to put their R&D effort that way
Just sent them an email asking why it wasn't available yet.
If you are planning on getting one you can sign up on their website to get emailed a discount code when a case is first made available. I imagine once it comes out officially you won't be able to get the discount.

Thanks for the update...
I emailed David a long time ago to confirm the date and never got a response...
I emailed him today and got a response which stated the case would be available on the 25th but in the email he referred to it as the Skyrocket so its probably not for our phones.
Well you see his response to me. Here was my email to him
And yeah, no discount code :-(
They already got the phones mixed up once. Who knows if they got it right this time? Guess we'll have to wait and see. Again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
How well does their cases protect the phones?
These cases got horrible video reviews on YouTube. Did anyone actually try these?
Based on their responses (or lack thereof) and not being able to distinguish the Skyrocket from our phone, I am not putting any faith anymore in this vendor to be honest.
Too bad -- seemed like a decent alternative.
I know. Makes you wonder about a company that doesn't know their own products.

Started with a stuck pixel last night. It's gotten progressively worse over the day. Thankfully Verizon said they'd replace it.
I wonder if this is a SAmoled Screen issue or a loose wire issue...

Yeah this would be the first phone that I've ever had that happen to. It's kinda shocking. I don't think I'll get a referb with it being so new, but I'll find out tomorrow morning. I sweet talked the rep and got her to ship it overnight. Score haha.
I guess right now it doesn't bother me as much as when it was a stuck pixel. I know the lines there so it doesn't bother me as much. The pixel just annoys the crap outta you because you look for it every time you turn the phone on haha.
I know how that is. Everytime my rezounds screen dark colored I would try to count how many dead pixels I could see in the nickel sized cluster of dead pixels it had. Most i could see were 12 lol. But didnt bother me enough to get a new one.

Just call verizon, sit through their speil. Tell them you have a defective screen. They'll tell you to power cycle the phone, and do a factory restore. It will inevitably end with them sending you a new phone. Everything's gonna be fine

TY, I am paying 6.99 for total coverage and deductible is $99
Either way it's better than paying retail.
You could end up with a new phone instead of a refurbished one just for the simple fact it's such a new phone and Asurion won't have a refurbished stock for insurance purposes yet.
I haven't looked into it on the galaxy s4 but I know how to replace a screen on iphone is only 30 or 40 dollars if you know what you're doing you may want to look into getting a new screen on eBay

Way more expensive than that. Would be closer to $200 for the front panel I'd imagine. Asurion replacement is only $100.

Heh, I broke my old phone's power button at the end of my contract. I decided to get an S4 instead of pay half that as insurance deductible for much older phone. The next day, I walked in to the Verizon store and picked one up no prob. I had no idea the Verizon model had just come out. Derp. :silly: I guess supply depends on your area, but I would imagine some of the first shipments went to the insurance companies. Unlucky people like you
Thanks Corey... I know I am.
And I am paying $6.99/month for insurance, so it will only be $100.
I use to have insurance then realized it wasn't worth it after 8 years of no issues. I guess it depends on what you do though. Doing construction and having kids it would be a different story LOL.
BTW you going to run the stock rom? I'm highly debating switching to Cyanogenmod once it becomes a "stable" release.

Is this for current customers or can new customers use this deal too?
With the HTC One being $99 on T-Mobile. Then I could cover the cost with a trade in if the trade in estimate is $100.
I am confused on proof of purchase. I actually ordered mine a few days ago, but reading the thread from the last rebate the carriers dont send an invoice with the phones. I know people last time just provided option B. The UPC and imei doesn't have the date of purchase. I am curious why this wouldn't work? I have an old smart phone that I would likely recycle anyway so I don't really have alot to lose by trying right?
"A valid proof of purchase is a) an original invoice with the IMEI number printed on it or b) a copy of the UPC code with the IMEI code printed on it. A copy of a UPC code is only permitted once as a valid Proof of Purchases. "
8.2 How It Works, Business: To receive the $100 trade in value (or actual device trade in value, whichever is greater) in exchange for the smartphone Device you trade in, you must purchase and activate a new T-Mobile HTC One® during June 5 – June 9, 2013 and mail in your used Device with (1) a valid Proof of Purchase of your HTC One® (copy of UPC or invoice/receipt showing the IMEI); (2) carrier name; (3) Carrier BAN (Billing Account Number); and (4) trade ins must be post marked by June 30, 2013.

Sorry, Verizon reach out to me last month and offered it to me for free... How often does the carrier reach out and offer the phone for free. Oh and by the way I still keep my unlimited data.
