Asurion replacement phones? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

i lost my phone last night in the city because i was piss drunk and i was at a club. i forgot to install cerberus after i flashed a new rom before going to the city that night so i was screwed. Im getting a replacement phone from asurion and i wanna know if its gonna be MF3 or MDL. does anyone know what i might get?
i dont regret going to the city at all by the way. I hooked up with this hott as hell blonde chick easily a 9 out of 10 and got her number and were going on a date now XD

Chances are it's going to be a refurb, so there's honestly no telling what you're going to get. I would think by now, most of them would be on MF3. Mine came on MDL when I got it from Radioshack, but I wasn't thinking about rooting and it pushed MF3 to the phone.

If you're getting it from Asurion, it's going to be MF3. They won't ship a phone, whether refurb or not without updating it as far as they can.
(And for the record, no need to share your experiences in the city, a) highly a lie and b) it doesn't concern the topic at hand.)

Cool story kid - good luck with your Asurion claim.

Don't bother with someone taunting you with ridiculousness. I had the same thing happen last year. Anyway, there's really no telling what you might get from Asurion. Sometimes, you might even get a phone that doesn't work properly from them and have to get 5 replacements for it to be right (happened with my old HTC Window Mobile phone). I got a warranty replacement recently from AT&T for camera problems (hardware issue). The AT&T store rep told me that for sure I'd end up being charged full price for the phone, since it had trivial scratches on the screen (from being in my pocket with my keys once). No charge ever came. Luckily I received my replacement with MDB firmware. I would think that AT&T would surely ship the latest firmware if anyone would. I imagine it's just a crap shoot at this point. Good luck. Worst case scenario, you'll have to resort to safestrap. That's really not so bad.

It's passed a level of maturity young kid - it's a matter of keeping the thread on focus of the OP topic, which I was gladly doing. You've now hijacked in into a masquerade of immature lies that no one on XDA cares about. We're here to talk to and relate to the AT&T Galaxy S4 i337 and i337m device, not your inner city fantasies.
Did you get your replacement phone from Asurion or not? Is it MF3?

I would think that would be known if it were possible - but could be wrong. It's a shame it was sent with MF3 but at least you have a working device. Congrats to that.

can att track u down

i guess i did a warranty job and the phone got sent to my old adress and thing is i dont live there anymore and i told them so they refunded me momney so i wouldnt have to pay them back and they sent me another phone for free. anyways i go back to my old house just to say hi to friends and stuff and i see that my phone that they sent was there its a 8525 so now i have an extra 8525 can they track it down if i use it ?
They could if they really wanted to. But do you think they'll go through all that trouble just for you ? lol Doubt it...

So you ordered a phone, and initially thought it never came. Then you called and said, "Hey, where's that phone?" They said, "Sorry. We'll send another one."
Now you are basically saying, "Thanks AT&T for being so helpful and sending me a replacement phone. Now that you were so helpful, I will keep both phones and really give you the shaft for being honest."
Having two phones, you now wonder if you can get in trouble. Well, let me put it this way: if AT&T was to find out you have both phones, they might think you lied to them in an attempt to steal a phone from them. Most people and most businesses wouldn't respond too well to this.
The ethical thing to do is exactly what your question asks when reading between the lines: Should I keep what doesn't belong to me?
If you have to ask, you probably already know the answer.
Whatever...I worked for at&t for a year...nothing ethical about that company. I say keep it and be happy.
Answer is yes they could find out whos SIM is in the phone with that IMEI... Unless you use that program floating around and change the IMEI haha.

"More like a wat if"?
Strange, because you've offered to sell this phone to another member here already. You might want to get your story straight before Mark comes knocking on your door looking for his "kickback".
Isn't that like stealing more than half a thousand dollars?
I mean, Don't get me wrong, but you could let them know you moved, so they can send the phone to the right place.

You're probably right. But at the same time, is it worth the trouble and worry? Even if AT&T isn't ethical, does that mean you shouldn't? It's all about how you want to live your life.

[Q] Going to exchange out phone. Advice?

I'm probably going to exchange my Epic on Monday or Tuesday for another one.
The bad part is I've got a screen protector on it, the good part is I bought a 2-pack of Seidio protectors and I put this one on bad anyway so once I exchange out I'll still be good.
I know to flash back to stock ROM/kernel/everything with ODIN, but is there anything else I need to pay attention to?
Thanks in advance.
(For anyone wondering: I'm doing it over some qualms with battery life and the slide mechanism. I don't want things to get any worse and have to make an insurance claim or pay $35 or whatever down the line.)
I ODIN'd back to stock in order to do the Froyo upgrade.. and then upgraded to Froyo, obviously.
If I return it Monday with Froyo on it, will they deny me? I mean, it TECHNICALLY came from Samsung.. but the staff might not know or care, since it is technically flashing firmware and all that jazz.
TIA, etc
If you're doing a 30 day exchange, they REALLY don't give a ****. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but we're all way too busy trying to sell new phones that as long as you don't have liquid or physical damage, we're not concerned.
So yeah, rest easy... We have quotas to meet =)

By the way -- can you tell me how many Epics you've seen get returned for battery or slide issues? Just want to know if I'm nitpicking or not..
y r u returning it. its finally worth keeping now.
Sounds like he's doing a swap, not switching phones

I am simply swapping for another -- and I think it would be worth keeping even if we were stuck on Eclair.
ADMITTEDLY, it's my first Android phone.. but it's amazingly fast and I am in love with the thing. Just not how my particular phone seems to suck battery life, have a loose-enough-to-cause-concern slider and generally make me want to hate it.
Speaking as a tech, If you take it to a service and repair store they will look at the software. The good news is that the software is technically from Samsung and Sprint can't prove otherwise. If you're taking it to a normal store that doesn't have techs they will probably just exchange it no questions asked
My S&R store won't even look, we're too busy. If it powers on and there's no damage, we take it in.
That being said, we don't get many returns at all. We explain the battery life to the customer, haven't seen too many faulty slides.

Should I return the phone ? hell yeah you should

Hello everyone.
Today I found a brand new SGS2 on a supermarket and I took it
So I was wondering if they can track me down by GPS or something like that, if they lock the phone what's the worst that can happen ?
By the way before you judge me I didn't steal anything, like I said I found it.
If I were you I would see a lawyer and discuss this. In Germany you wouldn't have stolen it but would've been guilty of "Fundunterschlagung" which is also a crime and can and will be punished.
Tracking a phone is not that hard, there's the IMEI for example. In the very moment you use a sim card your carrier will know the IMEI of your device. So if the owner of the device reports this the police definitely can track down this very phone.
In addition you should never forget that most supermarkets have cameras.
I guess I will save you and me a discussion about the moral implications of such a behaviour.
Yeah, you're right.
I will give it tomorrow to my carrier maybe they will find in which name it is registered and give it back to the owner.
Thanks.
The answer is yes. This was not abandoned property. imho, You have a moral obligation and perhaps a legal obligation to return the phone.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
You should have given it to the supermarket customer service or manager or even hand it into a police station, im assuming it wasn't on when you found it (otherwise the owner would no doubt try and call the phone to see if anyone had it)
This thread makes me sad...if i lost my phone id cry and hope that the person that found it would have the decency to answer my frantic calls or hand it in to have it returned to me. Do the decent thing.

I happen to be an emplyee at the supermarket and since I never used a SGS2 I thought I would have some fun with it.
But i'll return it for sure, it is even unlocked for all the carriers gosh!
Anyways thanks for the advice guys & the thread tags also. lololol

Seriously? If they find out you did that then you may well lose your job. As an employee your actions are not seen in the same light as a customer.
Look at the call log and call someone who's on there frequently. Tell them you have the phone and arrange to get it back to the owner. You'll make someone very happy and you'll save yourself a potentially large amount of trouble

Deloxic i know you have the best phone in hand right now and you dont feel like giving it back , but trust me the happiness and joy you'll get after seeing the owners face when he gets his 650$ phone is worthed more than this phone.
Return it and you'll feel so very good
You'll feel much better when you do the right thing rather than having the best phone in the world and thinking a person out there worked with their blood and sweat to buy that phone is missing his/her precious baby..

Keep it i say..Hug it, take it to bed with you and then once you are finished throw it out of the window...
Of course return it. Not only you feel good when you see the owner's face thanking you and being re united with their handset but also you might get a little reward...But that is not the point you should of just gave it to your supervisor as that would of been the decent thing to do...
Imagine if the supervisor said "ok i will return it" and kept it for himself
Either way glad you are doing the right thing
CWM 5 issue
Someone has problems with custom rom and CWM 5?
Be a nice guy and just try to track down the owner. Just check which Google account the phone syncs with and fire up an email.
If you've switched your own SIM into the phone, it's very likely the phone has sent a text message to a number the owner set up the moment you fired it back up. It's also fairly easy to track the phone via GPS, check call logs and wipe the phone remotely. The service provider can also track IMEI numbers on phones registered on their network.
More importantly, make the real owners day and let the poor guy have his precious phone back!

[Q] Verizon version capable of root?

So I've started researching the Note 3 as of recently as a replacement to my S4. What's got me worried is all the talk about how Verizon has taken extra steps to lock down the Note 3. I know the talk isn't anything new since Verizon has consistently tried locking down our phones without success, however is there anything new to cause concern over this phone in particular? Are we confident that the Note on Verizon will receive root with s-off? Not having root would definitely be a deal breaker so I'd like to nail down the facts before I pull the trigger. Also another side question, what is the version number for the Verizon version? Thanks for any help provided!
Found the answer to my second question. The Verizon version model number will be model SM-N9005
That's the same lte model that they are already rooting overseas. The criteria being the bootloader is unlocked. I'll be around to supply cheer and encouragement

Ive been trying to keep up with the note 3 forums when they opened and they are rooted and do have custom roms but the bootloader has to be unlocked just to even get root through odin. Verizon will def be locking it down. Hopefully wont be too long before a dev cracks it because I need root!!!!!!!

This is what pisses me off Suzook, I agree we have all been trolled and we all was hoping the 29th was the ship date. One of my best friends is a Verizon Corp manager and told me that Verizon was going to ship the phone out early so they wouldn't lose business to other carriers but there was some legal concerns about charging people cards earlier then what's posted on Verizon website. So they didn't sale early....
As for the guy saying he is going to unlock the bootloader he might be full of it and he might be telling the truth!!! There's 7+ billion people in this world, I'm sure it's possible that someone is either smart enough to crack it or has inside connections. Think about the S3, that was unlocked because someone leak an unlocked bootloader... Note 2 never received that leak, it was unlocked because Adam and Relake (I misspelled his name).
It's okay to be pessimistic, but lets see how this thing plays out instead of making rude comments. The rude comments serve no point and does nothing for the xda community.
If you would stop and reflect and compare your post vs your thanks, now look at my post vs thanks, you will see I have half the post but twice as many thanks as you... Why?? because I try to post comments with a purpose and not judge or say negative comments.

All I'm saying is you can't see the future, until the phones are released and we give him a chance we can't say if his post was pointless :highfive: lets be friends

This is what pisses me off Suzook, I agree we have all been trolled and we all was hoping the 29th was the ship date. One of my best friends is a Verizon Corp manager and told me that Verizon was going to ship the phone out early so they wouldn't lose business to other carriers but there was some legal concerns about charging people cards earlier then what's posted on Verizon website. So they didn't sale early....
As for the guy saying he is going to unlock the bootloader he might be full of it and he might be telling the truth!!! There's 7+ billion people in this world, I'm sure it's possible that someone is either smart enough to crack it or has inside connections. Think about the S3, that was unlocked because someone leak an unlocked bootloader... Note 2 never received that leak, it was unlocked because Adam and Relake (I misspelled his name).
It's okay to be pessimistic, but lets see how this thing plays out instead of making rude comments. The rude comments serve no point and does nothing for the xda community.
If you would stop and reflect and compare your post vs your thanks, now look at my post vs thanks, you will see I have half the post but twice as many thanks as you... Why?? because I try to post comments with a purpose and not judge or say negative comments.

Verizon rep is full of it. All it takes is a simple email saying you are going to be charged a week early or whatever and if you wish to wait till 10/10 please call such and such and boom done. It was never early everybody speculated there was no proof of early release. Let me go back to bestbuy where I was yesterday talking to inventory guys and Samsung rep with road map and had 10/10 so anybody saying before is a straight up liar.
And the rude posts!?!? Are you kidding? Dude posts for sure they are shipping 9/29 & unlocked bootloader & then closes thread before he "talks" to Verizon. Yeah right. Now this unlocked crap he is full of it.

Im not a pessimist, but a realist. Everyone needs to accept there is NO BL unlock. Why start rumors? Thats all they are without PROOF. All it does it make pointless threads.

Suzook and I found a common ground, I understand where he's coming from and he understood my point. We can not predict the future.... EZ closed his thread because he was tired of you guys treating him like Sh.. for no reason.. If sockmonkey posted right now he has a unsecure bootloader for the note 3 you would call b.s.... but he is the same guy who released the bootloader for the s3... my point is until the guy proves he's full of it, give him a break...

Well dang

Did we just lose Rom support for Qualcomm?
Lol I go look all ROMs but two are closed that sucks
No we didn't lose rom support. Just some small issues.

People kept nagging him about stuff that didn't work and what not when the roms were clearly in alpha phase and he even stated what worked and what didn't. He got sick of people being stupid and not reading so he closed them all.
Well that makes sense
Kinda sucks though
I was about to ask him if building MIUI would be hard lol

It's pretty sad that people think Qualcomm support is dead because I left. I'm nobody special. I can't believe nobody else has posted any ROMs other than squid2 and one guy just trying to spread around his donation link more trying to make money off other peoples work basically. I'm going to pm a select few of you guys with a link to somewhere we can do this on our own terms. I know you guys all probably think I'm a ****, but I'm really not. I got pissed because I very calmly and nicely responded to someone's comment, they responded back ending with "take a xanax", I took offense and reported them and I ended up with 2 infractions (my first ever) that I didn't quite understand. One was retracted after the fact. But anyway, don't worry I didn't go far.

I don't think you're a ****, I completely understand your frustrations. I had a mod give me an infraction over something completely irrelevant and stupid too on these forums. Literally my first infraction in 8 years.

It's all good man, I was a mod on phandroid and dabled a little here for a fraction of a second i get it.
I'd love to still help you test and do things lol, just got this phone and was like "yay something with ROMs!!! I can tinker!"
Then you went poof (with good reason) and I just said awe man XD just my luck.
Do what you need to to save your sanity
Those of us who get it will be here to play.

I would jump in, but I had to cut my home internet for financial reasons. I have the CDMA version so the current ROMs weren't of use to me yet. I feel kinda useless right now, lol. I might be able to go to an unlimited plan (another $15 a month) instead of my current 10GB. Just setting up my new phone (and wife's) used most of my data. I'll figure something out. Thanks for laying so much groundwork bro.

I hear you. I had to do the same thing being laid off for a while, waiting for a call from my union hall to go back to work. Also why I haven't acquired another E4 for testing, and can't have my phone down so I don't miss a call. If it wasn't for my unlimited plan with boost, I wouldn't be doing much right now. I can build a ROM way faster than I can upload it. Sometimes I go to a near by coffee shop and have a cup or 2 and make use of the free WiFi.
