Ok so this is more then likely a lost cause but worth a shot to ask around..
Last night we're all at this raging house party.. Everyone knows everyone, everyone is seen as "trustworthy"..
Still, I took the precaution to put my phone upstairs in the master while I charged it..
Its getting late, and I wanted to know what time it was.. went to get my phone.. its no longer on the charger.
Since GPS is disabled, "Where's my Droid?" app is unable to send me a pinpoint on the map.. and I had been meaning to getting Lookout (but obviously didn't)..
I went to VZW about 20 minutes ago and not really satisfied with the run-around I received.. I understand if VZW can't do anything about it, but please don't tell me "What kind of company would we be if we spent all our time tracking down phones?" when I just lost my expensive device. **bleep**, its an asset at this point.
All I want to know is, is it within VZW's capabilities given my permission to send a signal to my phone to enable its GPS? Not asking them to track it down, I have a few police friends who are already nipping at the chance to do it for me - I just need to tell them where to go.
The manager at the VZW finished his "I'll smile while I'm rude to your face" routine and passed me Asurion's brochure.. Yes, I've got insurance but if I can get this phone back w/o paying the $89 deductible and losing all that sensitive data.. then that'd be freaking awesome.
Otherwise I'll just bite the bullet.. Oh yeah, and even when I do have to make this claim, does anyone honestly think Asurion has Incredibles? And to top it off, am I going to get one with the "new" screen? aka lacking said AMOLED..
{word filter avoidance}. thanks in advance, even if its your condolences..
What makes it worse is I know whoever took it will never get past the 8-pattern lock that I have enabled. So why **** take it!?
All current incredibles have hte AMOLED screen.
Without an app installed, i dont think Verizon can remotely turn on GPS but someone should be able to use towers to find approx where the phone is.
Not only will you bite the bullet but you will also learn a lesson. As with Asurion, from my personal experience you will get your phone the next day after you submit the claim ON a business day (even if you submit it at 8pm). Now, whether it will be AMOLED screen or SLCD I don't know. When I did my claim back in June I got a new DINC with AMOLED because at that time Asurion hasn't received any returned DINCs from VZW yet and only had new replacements, so I got lucky. Also, at that time DINCs had AMOLEDS, so I don't know which screen you'd get this time. Even Asurion rep wouldn't be able to tell you. They wouldn't even tell you if you get a new or a used replacement.
Keep your fingers crossed.
