I would give it a shot,especially if you bought it at a brick & mortar store, whether it's a franchise or corporate store.
You've got a compelling argument to get at least a partial credit for your phone,being WHY were you not informed of the soon to be released ASCEND II?
Don't walk,RUN,back to the point of purchase.Time is working against you @ this point.The longer you wait,the less chance of getting a full or partial credit toward an ASCEND II.
Legally,I doubt if they are bound to do anything in your favor @ this point,however,if you speak to the store/regional manager,I imagine a reasonable compromise could be negoiated.
Please keep us updated w/your eventual outcome w/your situation.

So I just got my phone replaced through the warranty as I was having issues with it, however I'm curious if it was a refurbished phone as the screen has a spot on it near the top that is a white pin size dot. Is there a way for me to check the life timer of the phone to see if it i new or not?

I have A metro huawei ascend. When I turn off bluetooth it will automatically turn on .
It will turn back on when the phone comes
out of sleep mode. It never would do that until my girlfriend got a hold of my phone. How do i get it to stay off? Thanks

Settings> about phone> device info> refurbish info.
It's probably a refurb if you didnt raise hell about wanting a new one.

So I've looked under device info and googled a few abbreviations to try and learn what all this junk means and the only things I see that seems off is that my MDN and MIN no longer match (which from what I read doesn't really indicate anything of importance and the number did not come back as a cell phone number in the yellow pages), the other that I question is that under device version and date the date is listed 5/18/2011... so out of my total cluelessnes I still cannot determine if it was a refurb or not. Is there something I'm still overlooking?

I believe CRICKET ASCENDS have that information listed & METRO does not.
I remember that from a few months ago.Check my posts & I believe BlastGt1 posts for reference.

Also,I don't believe modded phones(ICARUS 1.1,CM6,CM7) will show the refurbish information.

And of course I have Metro what a bummer, so I guess I'm SOL in trying to figure out if they gave me a refurb to replace a phone less than an month old....

Thanks for all the help anyhow. I'm sure I'll be back with another question soon.

Brand new to smart phones, so please, someone help me get started.
1. Will rooting my phone give me access to files say like a computers root directory?
2. Is there a better web browser for Ascend than Mozzilla? One that can capture photos like MSIE?
3. If I am fairly computer literate, or better, is rooting risky for a newbie.
Thanks to anyone how wants to help. I'm sure you haven't heard the last of me yet!

[kevinrubio]

mdpi to be safe. CM7 is suppose to support hdpi on all phones now but I dont know how well it works.

 

[nuttmeg]

hdpi will cause multi problems like boot loops and so on...ascend is only mdpi.
