HTC EVO 4G died last night

wodin · 10-13-2010, 01:28 PM

I plugged it in and left it on my desk with the clock running as usual. Got up this morning and it was in a continuous boot loop. I tried pulling the battery and volume down recover. NADA!

I feel NAKED!

Oh No! Sorry! I would feel naked too! as I did when my computer crashed a month or so ago!

I bet you're not covered by insurance? (I'm not).

I'm had my DroidX about a month now and I don't know what I'd do with out it!

Like Kenny I kinda live or die by my X10. I think I have gotten over-dependent on it for watching movies, keeping track of meetings and schedules, listening to music, keeping up with web stuff and...oh yeah making the occasional phone call

There's a happy ending, I took it to the Sprint store Tuesday morning, and in two hours I walked out with a brand new EVO, no charge!

Small hassle setting everything up, and re-downloadnig all my ebook readers (and other apps), but it's all back, better than before!

SPRINT ROCKS!

WONDERFUL! Was it still under warranty?

wodin · 10-15-2010, 01:57 PM

Yes, ALL EVOs are still under warranty. Plus I have insurance, but that has a $100 deductable.

Glad it's taken care of!!

To lessen the headache of re-dowloading apps, sign up for AppBrain.

wodin · 10-15-2010, 08:35 PM

Yup, already had an AppBrain account. It was amazing to watch it downloading and installing apps virtually simultaniously. It's the first time I've ever had to scroll down the notification drawer.
