  1. Hey people, this isn't just insurance. It also covers repair of your phones at authorized service centers. As in your usb or earphone port damage, cracked screen replacement at service centers if they can.

  2. I'm hope Winchester will get Band 41 in the first round. It really sucks when sending a text crashes your phone during Apple Blossom because it's so over loaded. At least the last two years they finally brought two COWs with fiber back haul but it didn't help much.

     

    It was nice four years ago when not that many people had a smart phone. I noticed that the smart phone took higher priority over the feature phones when it came to placing a call. Now days you're lucky to get .5 down during AB with a medium signal from so many smart phones. Going from 20,000 to 250,000(high estimate) will do that though.

    To bad sending a text has nothing to do with LTE, more like 1xrtt and if your phone crashed while sending one. It is more of a problem with your phone

  3. I use to always make sure that all my lines had insurance on them, but with the increase of tep as well as the deductible it is definitely better to not have insurance right now. I think that in the long run it is definitely better to just self insure. Over a two year period that's at least $414(11*24 for tep and a minimum of 150 deductible for a smartphone) with sprint and in my case having 3 lines thats a total of $1,242, this is just giving money away. Now if you really and truly are rough/careless when it comes to phones then I suppose it may be worth it but for me its definitely not worth it anymore.

    Your math is a little off. 11x24 is 264 unless you were including the deductible. But on straight out repairs there is no deductible unless in for the 3rd time starting now. And that will only cost you about $25. Our was it $35. I have to look again. The deductible is different depending on what type of phone.

     

  4. The other day in my car, I too noticed the high pitch screeching noise the device makes. It was only when I was playing the music through my radio with it charging. I know this has been discussed before, but it now just happened to me. Hopefully they will fix this issue in one of the upcoming updates.

     

    Also, with spotify, I haven't had that problem as of yet. My device seems to be running it great.

     

    What you are describing is a ground loop interference problem in using the 3.5mm headset Jack plugged into the stereo when phone is charging at the same time. Shielded cables with ferrite cores attached should help.
