Ive heard Sprint is aware of the problem, and stores have been swapping it out. Any one tried this?

Tried which part? Doesnt matter, I havent tried anything yet, lol. But im thinking about using some kind of coloring too... what did u have in mind? paint on my TP doesnt sound to enticing... although neither do my current scratches

Also, I don't really want to go through the hassle of swapping my phone at Best Buy since I got the insurance plan for it (like $6 a month or something). Backing up my files on my device and starting anew doesnt sound like much fun

Has Anyone Here Had A Problem With Their Touch Pro After Dropping It? I Dropped Mine Today From No More Than 2 Feets As I Was Tethered And The Phone Shut Off, Rebooted To The Touch Pro Boot Screen And Kept Restarting, So I Plugged It In And Let it Sit And Now It Only Shows A Black Screen. No Words, Anything.. Any Ideas? When It Showed The Touch Pro Boot Screen I Went Into The bootloader And Tried To Reload The Rom I Was Using, But No Luck. Any Ideas On A Possible Fix?

Compact super-electronics like a touchpro, well, they just aren't meant to be dropped...Got Insurance????

Yea I Would have Rather Fixed It Than Sent It Back In. I Also Didnt Know If Changing The Rom Would Void Out The Insurance Or Not.

I dropped mine this weekend from a height of about 5 feet directly onto ceramic tile in my basement. It hit directly on the front top right corner, the battery cover came off and the battery came out. After rebooting and up to this point, it hasn't acted different at all. I think I got really lucky!

Good luck with yours man, hope you have the insurance.

Check the battery contacts... I've had the restarting in a loop problem before and it was because the contacts were bent. Not that it's related to the drop, but the contacts bend and can cause this problem to happen if you (or someone else) puts the battery in backwards, the drop might've just sent it over the edge (no pun intended.)

I Ended Up Calling Sprint And Telling Them The Story And They Sent Me To A Sprint Store And The Manager Checked For Water Damage And Then She Just Gave Me A New TP.
