Complete Loss Of Vibration

[Joescan09]

So today I have lost all vibrate features on my evo. The phone is only a month old and I'm 100% sure it's hardware failure. Ive searched and done all the tips regarding the problem and I just need to take it into a sprint store now. My question is what should I expect when I don't have insurance and the phone is still under factory warranty I assume. Is it going to cost me $35, $50, or $100 for a replacement.

You're restoring it back to stock first though, correct?

 

[Joescan09]

Already did

From the posts I've seen regarding people with problems early in their contract, you might just get lucky and they'll exchange it.

 

[Joescan09]

Ive been with sprint since 2001 and have had WM phones that crapped out exchange for a price without warranty. I just can't remember how much it cost me back then.

I would definitely take it back to see if they'll exchange it for you.

 

[Joescan09]

Yeah i'm going to take it in Thursday and see what happens. After playing around with it some more you can hear a little tiny twitching sound when It's suppose to vibrate.

$35 and I got my replacement Evo.

 

[FreudSlipped]

That worked out. Did they give you a new one or reconditioned?

 

[Joescan09]

Haha so now my old one works lol. I haven't received the new one yet i'm picking it tomorrow.

 

[FreudSlipped]

Any reason?

 

[Joescan09]

And now it stopped working again and i'm positive my evo is really messed up. It keeps coming and going with no changes made to the phone. I'm picking up my replacement at 2 today.

Could the old one have gotten a little "damp"?

 

[Joescan09]

No it was never in a situation to get damp I believe it's just a defective device.

 

[FreudSlipped]

K. It was the intermittent thing that got me thinking that.

 

[Joescan09]

Just got my new phone and it works so much better than the old one. Also i'm pumped i got the 004 hardware version coming from an 003.

Whats funny is that my Evo is already rooted before I put my contacts back on or signed into my gmail account.
