So I was at the Sprint store today to have my screen replaced case I dropped my phone. And they replaced it free of charge no questions. So as the title says, Sprint rocks.

The new Sprint policy is great. Free w/ insurance, only $35 without.

It changed last month. It is really nice now, but people still question insurance. However this doesn't help w/ lost or stolen or water damaged devices. Also physical damage can be fixed in house now if we have the parts.

When I took my phone in I removed root completely. But I made a backup just before I unrooted. So all I did was did unrevoked root real quick. Flashed amon-ra with Rom manager and nand recovered previous settings. Simple as pie.

Why does everybody worry about taking their phones in for repair if they are rooted? As long as what you want to get fixed isn't software related they don't care. I am rooted and running Fresh with Riptide's theme and took my phone in last month for a screen replacement and yesterday to replace a broken plastic cover over the camera lens. Nothing was said the first time for the screen, and yesterday I was asked how I was getting the great battery life I was getting so I told them it was due to the custom ROM and kernel. They were impressed. And, yes both repairs were free because I have Total Equipment Protection.

Most of them won't care or won't even know. But all it takes of that one guy to care and then void your warranty. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to take that chance because of laziness.

I would raise holy hell if they tried to void my warranty on a non-software related issue I brought my phone in for. Feel free to root and unroot all you want. I'll stick with "laziness".

I had my screen crack fixed by Sprint. I simply flashed Joey Krim's stock looking rooted 2.2 and they didn't ask a question.

Just make a nandroid of your phone. I put my OEM SD card back in the phone and kept my good SD card with me. They fixed my screen, no questions asked. However, when they accidentally broke my volume down button on the side (need that one!) they just gave me a new phone. Nothing but good things about Sprints service.
