Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
tried the 8778096696 number about my split apart replacement, and since it was my 3rd, he cant work anything over the phone, now I have to go to a sprint repair center, one of the few I havent tried thankfully, and the one I have been going to for 10 years, to have them look at it. I have avoided them because as a 3rd party they seem too overly commission driven and I have had good reps and reps there that were like, meh, call assurion... I PRAY that they have some pity and just put me in a TP2, I am just bewildered that I spent top dollar on a laptop that I use EVER DAY for 3 years and have had no major issues with, I spent top dollar on phone that cracks apart in a matter of months of gentle care and now I have to chase my tail and get crapo refub after crapo refurb.... still trying to keep my cool.

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Post 1455 says to go to every store you can... this means every REPAIR store you can, right? There are only 2 here, only 1 is corp, so it's impossible to not hit one up 2 times.
Has anyone had success taking it to a regular Sprint store and getting it replaced? I tried, but they told me that I have to go to a repair store. Would it make a difference to go to the repair store, have them look at it, note the account that it needs to be replaced, and take the phone back and then go to a non-repair Sprint store to have it replaced? |

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Is it possible that certain regions have access to certain refurbished models of phones? I got my TP1 replaced with a TP2 here in Baltimore with no hassle, didn't have to beg and plead etc. Maybe in this area, there are no TP1 refurbs available so they gave me a refurb TP2? I think the bottom line is, don't EXPECT to get a TP2. From reading these posts its pretty evident that if they can give you a refurb TP1, then they will.

"I don't know where you people are coming up with these fabricated lists, but I don't know of any lists." I walked out of the store convinced that I am leaving Sprint next month when my contract ends. That was last Saturday. This past Monday, the district manager calls me from another store saying he'd had a call from Executive Customer Support and they told him to order me a NEW TP2. So he did. I picked it up Wednesday from a store closer to my house. Literally after two weeks of arguing with everyone from CSRs to Second-Tier Advanced Exchange, to Executive Support to Managers of Executive Support. To out of the blue this. I don't know what it's about, but I now have a different model. Very strange. |

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
No, not a "tale". I had to go through hell. Walk away from the only place i went to that i was told I could exchange my model to be told i was a liar and that they (the store) could do nothing and that all of it had to be done on the phone.
The one thing i've learned about sprint, they pass the buck. Then, AS they are passing the buck, they are telling you "this is all i can do according to our policy." I said this to customer retentions after the last phone call before this week (of which I received FOUR phone calls in two days) "for want of a policy, the customer was lost". THIS should be sprint's new motto. |

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Just an update... after waiting for almost a month from my local Sprint store, my order for the TP2 "disappeared" as well as the tech that was helping me. The store couldn't find any trace of the previous tech ever ordering anything for me, so I called customer service, explained the situation, and after being put on hold and transferred for more than 30 minutes, the rep said "good news, I just ordered a Touch Pro for you"... and I asked if she meant Touch Pro 2... nope... she basically ignored everything that I told her in the conversation and everything that has been going on for the past month, and placed an order for the Touch Pro. Once she realized the mistake, she apologized, tried to cancel the order (and failed doing so), and told me to go back to the store to see if anything could be done because she was not able to cancel the order.
I went back to the store... the (new) techs started giving me excuses about the Touch Pro 2 only being offered when the original Touch Pro is out of stock. They claim they don't have any record of the previous tech that spoke to me for the past month, and no record for my Touch Pro 2 order. They said they could get me the HTC Snap if I wanted... :cussing: I am so angry now... I have been played around for almost a month. I have been promised the replacement phone. I have been told it was ordered. Now they are forcing me to get another TP refurb, which will probably start freezing and overheating like my current phone. :( |

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Brought my TP into the store today, with a loose keyboard, overheating/charging issues and a screen that periodically turns to black which I have to shake to get back to normal. Tech looked at it for 20 minutes and came out and told me he ordered me a new phone. I mentioned that it was my 3rd Tp and he said "Don't worry, I ordered you a TP2, you'll have it Monday." Kudos to Sprint for always taking care of me. I never mentioned the Touch Pro 2, by the way.

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Well after fighting with Sprint for a month and not getting anywhere ( I was wanting a TP2 but would settle for a NIB TP1) I finally got Sprint to get me and my wife NIB TP1. The nightmare with Sprint and getting a TP2 was soooooo bad that I am leaving when my contract is up in Aug. I am not leaving because I didn't get my way by getting a TP2 but got such horrible customer service both in store (corp) and over the phone. For those of you still getting the refurbed TP1 try going to different corp stores and asking if they can order a new TP1. I told the CS rep I would not accept a refurbed phone and he understood and ordered a new one. I have never had a refurbed phone and between me and my wife we have had 5 TP1.

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Here's what I did. I went to a repair center and was helped out by a lady near a podium taking appointments for repair. While waiting for my turn, i got bored and started to mess with her, in a joking manner of course....
Me: i dont like sprints customer service... HTC touch pro sucks huh? Rep: yes it does. You should have received a letter from HTC acknowledging the freezing issues and so forth. Me: Well, no i didnt. What can I do Rep: Theres an approved list you can swap your phone out. Me: I hope you remember what ur saying so u can back me when i go to the techs. Rep: Oh I will, Im the manger.(woops) Unfortunately, it couldnt be ordered because of some level 4 or 5 and warehouse was out of stock(this was a week ago). So, she called me yesterday and said the levels or something has changed..BLAH BLAH. In other words she can order my phone and did. I gets it(tp2) on monday. Hope this helps |
Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
People need to realize its a numbers game, the store is either going to offer it to you or not, if they don't no amount of complaining and bitching is going to change that, chalk it up as an L and try a different store. When you find the right store you wont have to do much.
If none in your area will budge either wait awhile and try again or try a store in a different area, the holidays are coming if you travel that'd be a good opportunity to try your luck. |

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Sprint really has odd policies. I went in to the 1 and only sprint/repair center in town due to my TP screen going dead. I just had this phone replaced by tech support no more than 2 weeks ago by the way. Well today I went in and asked the lady if sprint ever swapped phones due to many problems I've had with this phone. I let her know that if this phone was to get replaced this would be 6th one. She told me that they only count the in store repairs done by technicians and not over the phone replacements. So according to her I have 3 advanced replacements and 2 in store replacements.
The only reason I have done the advanced replacements is due to my 1 only sprint store having shady service. I've taking my phone in for the "oil smudge" under the screen and the repair center refused to fix it due to the smudge not affecting the phone in anyway. Another time I took it in for locking up after charging all night and overheating while charging and once again they told me it passed all tests and that it was fine. |
Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
on the phone with customer service and being transferred all over the place, talking to a manager right now and shes saying that they cant order me a replacement. and that replacements can only be ordered by a repair center.
this is getting ridiculous |
Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
The TP1 is clearly a defective device. Mine is extremely lightly used and in perfect condition yet I had a life threatening situation where the phone completely failed me. Whether new or not, replacing one defective phone with another defective phone is not a solution, it merely prolongs the problem.
If it were a car with this many defects, it would've been recalled. When a product that people rely upon does not perform it should be recalled or replaced. Not sure why there is so much anger and venom erupting in this thread. We are all frustrated by the situation. I've read all 176 pages of posts. A little kindess in this cold world goes a long way. My 2 cents Add $1.00 and buy a root beer. :mrgreen: |

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Yeah, I think the best advice is to be patient and not expect anything from Sprint. Be glad they are replacing your phone. Be happier if the replacement is a TP2.
I think most people get mad when they were expecting a TP2 and got another TP1. Just my $0.02. Back to Saturday morning cartoons- or the lack of them these days. Now that should be a rant!!! |

Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
I took my 2nd tp1 to the sprint store last nite. I was offered 4 other phones to replace it but did not want one. Blackberry something, htc snap, treo pro and a palm pre. I asked if i could get a Hero but was told no. I will be getting another tp1 in 3-5 days.
I though about the pre, but then i can not use the apps i have and my garmin xt. |
Re: Sprint replacing Touch Pro with Touch Pro 2!
Just want to make 100% sure as I am not in the business of ripping sprint off, I don't have insurance. My phone's charging port doesn't work well, and its all scratched up, but that isn't merit to get a TP2, correct?
