VZW replacing TP1 with TP2!

robinbird · #1 (**permalink**) 12-10-2009, 07:06 PM

I have been having some screen and battery issues with my Verizon TP, as well. I was not forced over to Verizon from Alltel, I don't think we have Alltel on the west coast...? The screen will randomly shut off even when the battery is full, and one time the battery died in the night with no programs running and was at full charge when I went to bed, I had to recharge it before it would turn back on. Also sometimes it won't recognize the charger or start charging when plugged in.

Question Please....

If I do decide to have Verizon replace my TP for warranty, should I flash back to the stock rom first? I'm worried that they will not cover it if I've been flashing. :P

Please advise....

Edit: Also gets hot and says there is not enough memory....

yes absolutely lock it up!!! i mean the chances they check are slim,but if they do 1 of 2 things will result

1.if you take to a store and a tech is there and or such a person with the knowledge of ppc devices is there helping you then they will kindly look you in the eye and explain how you voided your warranty and you will leave unhappy

then # 2 which is even worse

2.if obtained thru the mail via fedex,after you sign the delivery slip and obtain "ownership" of the device then you better make damn sure you lock it lol,if you forget and they receive and see it's unlocked well then on your account it will be noted you sent back a voided warranty phone,at that point that lil replacement in your hand your playing with just cost you full retail price and you can expect to see it on your next available bill!!

First time getting it replaced. After I told them my phone was my hub and that I needed something that worked and that I read online that these phone were all having major problems and even had a friend that had like 6 replaced before they finally just gave them the TP2 (only really read stories about it), they came back from placing me on hold and said there were no refurbs in stock anyway so I could and would automatically get the TP2.

Maybe I was lucky, but I was subtly pushing for the tp2 from the get go.

Actually I have another question for you. You've been so helpful and I'm stuck on something with relocking. I flashed back to stock and did the relocking procedure but after when I go into bootloader mode it still says unlocked. Is that normal, did I do something wrong? Any ideas? I can PM you if that's better since it is not topic related.

Good luck with Verizon, as well!

im awaiting my answer on a tp2 as we speak.............wish me luck!! ok question,when in bootloader is it still saying 0.35 CMONEX,if so yes it's unlocked,now if it says 0.37 then it's locked and your good to go,you won't see it say .40 like when unlocking the phone because activesync puts it into bootloader mode,thus when you bootloader manually you see 0.37 instead

BOOYAH!!! Welcome to the expanding club!! I was SO PUMPED when I got the green light on a brand new in-box TP2... Verizon didn't even try to sneak in a refurb model; they upgraded me 100% free and FedEx'd it to me immediately. Enjoy!

Are you planning on flashing to a custom ROM? MightyROM has been a great experience for me so far, I had to do a hard-reset today for some reason, and yesterday the phone locked up and I had to take off the case and then remove the battery and re-start... but the interface and speed overall is awesome!
