Unethical question - Page 2

Then take it in and bring that argument with you. I had a TP with a broken board and stood my ground and argued that the broke board was a result of poor workmanship... And got my phone replaced... They charged me the 100 buck and credited my account 100 bucks. I was cool with that.
But asking for unethical advice will most likely result in some backlash. It's a touchy subject and potentially against the rules of the site.
I haven't read them myself but then again I'm not asking for unethical advice.
Good luck with this.

I dont think we should be getting into any arguments but for the OP, it would be worthwhile to continue to contact the repair center or take it in.

If nothing else- it will be documented that you are having multiple issues and they may eventually do something about it.

That's not why he's a fool. But good point.

I only used my insurance once, maybe three years ago. I had dropped it while using it as a flashlight in a plenum while looking at faulty duct work. Hit the concrete and the screen shattered. It was a Treo 650. I called them up, told them I lost it, and they said come in tomorrow and we'll replace it.

I dunno if they still do that.

Do you use a Micro SD card? Do mail and texts and programs use it? It may be the card. Just a thought.

Sometimes when electronic devices get odd on you, try calling the UN. You may be able to convince them to send a strongly worded letter to your device. It may make it shape up, or it may not. On second thought, that's never really worked out all that well

Hopefully you get your thoughts in order during the process too.
Enjoy.

Flash a GSM ROM to brick it. Unless they know how to throw it in bootloader to reflash you'll have a FRU or refurb TP2. Note: be careful of what you ask for since most refurb TP2s really suck worse than the device you already have (in my experiences).

do what horndoctor said. flash the stock 6.1 rom and watch those problems go away, i only get 1 lockup per week if that. keep the tp2 replace rate down

most folks don't know this, but just deleting items doesn't completely delete them (texts, pics, emails). there is an additional step in text options that says "empty deleted items". try that and i'll bet the freezing and s.o.d. goes away.

If that fails to get you a new phone, then do what the other llama said to do. Go to salvation army and buy leather biker gloves.Shave your head bald and go to the bathroom.put the gloves on and face the mirror and firmly grip the phone.on the count to 3 repeat bash your skull cranium with the phone until the ram chips fall out. Lol
