Evo LTE on back order - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Went to BB to swap out my phone due to problems with power button, etc. Geek Squad said phone was on back order for an indeterminate time. But, they were more than willing to give me a pos loaner phone for $150 till they received them.

Don't they offer substitutes if they're OOS?

They offered me an Epic for a $150 deductible.

I'm reading through all of these responses, and nothing besides the last response seems relevant to my original post. Best Buy offered me no upgrades or swaps or anything. They sent me over to Geek Squad whom is no in-charge of black tie protection plans. They offered me the Epic as a "loaner" phone while I waited for a replacement off back order. Everyone is talking about Sprint, etc. Sprint told me flat-out, they are not touching my phone, either Best Buy or HTC I talk to.

Had to take mine in to BB in august they were OOS and offered a GS3 or Optimus G. I chose to wait though the GS4 was out and i knew the G2 was coming soon, no sense in getting a new old phone. Upgrade in Feb so i can wait on next years crop of phones especially if we really get the update to 4.3 and sense 5 I can hold off till all the phones are announced.

I get my phones from bb and have their black tie insurance. Ive had my lte replaced 3 times for damage already at no extra charge from bb and i received them all within 3 days. I used to have the 3d which i also got replaced 3 times by them at no extra charge within 3 days each time. I got my lte because the last time i broke my 3d they were oos so instead of giving me a g2 they upgraded me at no cost and without using my upgrade. I had to get a loaner about 5 months ago from them when i needed a replacement and it was only $50, which i got back when i returned it. Dont know why the op is having so much trouble but ive had nothing but great experiences every time and have nothing but good things to say about black tie insurance.

Sprint doesn't do much better these days unless you paid extra for the insurance plan.

I'm on my 4th refurbed EVO LTE as well... just got my newest one last week from Sprint.

Same thing with my LGOG. I bricked it a few days ago and went to get it replaced. They told me its on back order and if I don't receive one in 10 days (this was like Saturday) that I can come in and pick a phone of my choice. Anythings better than this nexus S 4g I'm using.

Yes, this is what they told me over the phone. $700 credit they will give me for the phone. I will either go with the one, or pay $100 more and get the Note 3.

Out of Stock?

I've been missing calls and Sprint asked me to bring my phone into my dumb local store. The reps ordered a replacement phone but said it was 5 to 10 day wait because they were out of stock. I just find it interesting that they are out of stock by the way they are discounting them.

It's out of stock because of the fact that it will be a replacement (ie refurbished) phone. Those phones come from a completely different place than the "new" ones. Thus the wait. I've had to go through this three times already, every time my replacement phone came in around 3 days. Best of luck

That's cause replacements have to be ordered, DERPS, is what we called it.
Sprint cannot hand out good backstock for problems unfortunately. They order them to the store. They will let you keep your current malfunctioning phone till your replacement comes in.
I worked phone repair for them, although never used their service, t mobile ftw.

While this is true, if they are on backorder some stores lean more towards doing an in-store exchange if they are nice enough. Some customers come in all pissed off and demand a new one in store and if your manager is as much of a pushover as mine, then they will get a new one. They use that in order to eliminate wait for that certain customer. I work service and repair for them as well.

My wife and I just went through the same thing with her phone. Had to order a replacement, was told 3 days, a week later we finally got her phone. Got the phone home only to realize that there were burn-in marks and the buttons on the bottom weren't lit correctly. Fortunately for me they had another one in the back that was much better.
I asked the rep why the 3D was back ordered and without hesitation he told me that it was due to all the issues the phone had. He claimed they replace quite a few a day (for what it's worth).

I just find that interesting because the store told me I may not get a EVO 3D. They said it might be a EVO 4G, which I stated that was not an acceptable replacement. They then stated that it might be a Galaxy S phone. So we'll see what happens.

Just got the same thing from my local store. Ordered a replacement on Thurs, it was "backordered" and 5-7 business days. Picked it up today. Came in a small yellow box that I originally thought is a car charger or something.
Did you break root and restore to original?
Just wondering if the phones that were returned were rooted. I'm having trouble with mine and I'm supposed to take it in to a repair center. How do I restore it to locked state?

Sprint doesn't care if you root your phone now so no need to restore it.
Oh and I took my phone in for a digitizer issue. Was told they had to order me a phone. The new one 'old' one had dead spots in the touch screen now they have ordered me another one. Both times the phone was backordered and there were no other phones on the 'other list'. First time phone took 3 business days to get to me. We'll see how long this one takes.

I always flash a stock unrooted Rom before I bring my phone is repairs. They usually look for the superuser app only though so you wouldn't need to do anymore than that. I had a digitizer issue too. It took them 5 days to get it. I got lucky though, my refurb was in great condition.

I called Sprint directly and they confirmed that the EVO 3D is out of stock now, with no idea when it will be in. When I asked what the replacement would be if they couldn't get one, I was told that I would be receiving an EVO 3D.

I was planning on trading in my Evo 4G anyways and holding onto my Evo 3D as a backup. Too bad the extra $50 is with a new line of service.
I pre-ordered through Wirefly, any chance I could take advantage of this? The phone will be on a brand new line on a family plan. Sprint lists my Samsung Captivate buy-pack at $62 and with an extra $50 the Evo 4G LTE will have cost me nearly nothing out of pocket.
They're offering $90 for a 3D. I told the rep "Didn't you guys offer up to $150 for the OG EVO on the 3D release? Hell, ima classifields this one..."

Gracias! Hopefully I get my Evo 1337 in time so I can get the extra cash.
Other than the hassle of ebay or CL, is there a reason to use the trade in instead?
www.swappa.com is a good site for selling too.

^^Have you actually used swappa.com? Sounds promising; only $10 commission fee + paypal fees... Also looks like the buyer picks up the commission fee instead of it being deducted from the sale price.
I sold my g2 on swappa. It was easy and great. Much easier than eBay.

The E4GT is probably going for more than the 3D right now on ebay and stuff. Call Sprint retentions, have them give you an upgrade, sell your sammy and buy the evolte at $200. Make it happen

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?

Evo LTE for $250

I'm thinking about meeting up with a person at a sprint store that claims to have an evo lte in good conditon tomorrow.
The person said the phone was his son's for about a month before he switched to tmobile.
From the few pictures I've seen on his craigslist post, it seems like the phone is in good condition.
Just wanted to know from you guys if I was getting a good deal or not.
here are the pics
To me $250 sounds like a decent deal--make sure you get the phone's ESN number checked with Sprint. I bet you could try and go lower on the price citing that chipped paint on the kickstand.
EDIT: I looked on Craigslist for my area and noticed one going for $200. This was in the Dallas/Forth Worth area.

Question about sprint replacements

I was wondering, how often the sprint replacement device works with you guys? As far as i know that all replacement devices are refurbished.
EVO 4G LTE HB 2.09 S-OFF
I had 4 replacements through the sprint store with my 3D until I got one that wasn't scratched, dented, didn't rattle or even worked. I was told they are "recertified" not refurbished. They said they recirculate the phones people generally return during their 14 day period. The rep couldn't answer me when I asked about returned broken phones. Best Buy refurbishes them with brand new parts.

For me, sprints Assurian will replace with used and remanufactured unless you push hard. For BB, I have always received new units and no questions asked which is why I am still using them and won't ever change again. Again, your results my vary depending on where you are and circumstances.

Thank you guys for sharing your experiences with the replacement devices. I think next time i should get the BB insurance. It's way better than Sprint insurance, at least I will get a brand new device as replacement.

It might depend on the store/area. The 3 Best Buys near me give refurbished.

I'm wondering the same thing, sprint store had to reorder replacement, wondering what condition phone will be in, and has anyone that gotten a replacement got any thing other than ltevo
Recently got a replacement from Sprint for my wife's Samsung ET4G. Phone was in excellent condition

Glass protruding not flush with the frame , and one corner very loose, and now it's back ordered from asurion so might be more than 3 days until I get a replacement

Sounds like lackluster quality control.

That sucks! Same kinda thing would happen to me through Sprint. Sent through about 3 or 4 in about 2 weeks with my 3D. One was heavily scratched (which they refused to send back even tho the one I turned in was not, but that one ended up not connecting right so it went back anyway) another rattled heavily with sound, by the time I got my last one, if that didn't work, they said they "might" give me a new one.
