I got my first lg g3 launch day and the warranty replacement they gave me that's cracking was made 7/2014. Lg's twitter told me they would hook me up with the "executive service team" I told them that I was gonna use my jump plan to upgrade to a different phone because sending my phone for a week is not acceptable. I told them other companies have advance replacement plans where they send you a new one and put a hold on your card and you send the defective one back. They told me they didn't offer such a thing. I then replied that they should acknowledge it as an official issue with the phone so my carrier can freely hand out warranty replacements without discretion.
Not only that, but the crack on this phone has gotten worst. My fracture at the on the ir port has reached to the top edge of the screen. The crack on the mic seems to be more stable. I just hope I can jump to a Z3 without much hassle.
Jump shouldn't be an issue. The 3 things they look for are lcd/screen damage, liquid damage, and if its rooted. Dunno about the Z3 tho. Seems like a downgrade IMO. The only thing worth ditching this phone over is the note 4 or the nexus 6.
