Sprint wont replace this phone that has been acting up on me and powering off at random. They will do nothing for me since they (claim) they cant reproduce the problem. anyone know of a way i can brick this stupid phone so i can get them to replace it with a refurb?

Have you tried to hard reset the device to see if this will fix the acting up problem? I dont think nobody on here will tell you how to brick your phone.

You're right. This has been discussed at length here.

I think you can claim a new phone online.

It won't be new but a refurb if they agree to. If you have TEP and $100 to spend I would drop it in a swimming pool and get it replaced that way. Tell them you dove into the swimming pool to save a some one drowning. Maybe they'll let the deductible slide.

Of course that someone drowing was your phone.
