Phone dying and my mom used my upgrade

I've had the original Droid since 6/2010. I would be due for an upgrade soon, but my mom used it a few months ago. Her upgrade isn't until November, according to the My Verizon app on my phone. I'm not the account holder so I can't see on the web site.
Anyway, my phone isn't going to live that long. Any chance they would let me upgrade now?
When I plug my phone in to charge it resets or goes to a black screen with white text that says something about Bootloading.

Your best bet is probably to go into a Verizon store and talk to someone (I've heard calling in works too but I've never tried that myself). You might be able to get someone to help you out. I was talking to one store person and they said basically that they can't do anything for you unless you have less than a year on your contract (which you do). From there, it's typically up to the store whether they want to help out or not (they usually budget some money for circumstantial upgrades or to waive certain fees, give accessories, etc).
That said, typically, phones can't be discounted past a certain point and sometimes, they'll try to make it up in other features, accessories, etc. So even if you can't afford the full or "discounted" price of the phone, they might be able to help you out in one form or another.
Another option for you to get by til November is to take your mom's old phone, if it's in worse condition than yours. Or have your mom use her old phone and YOU take her new upgrade that was actually YOUR upgrade. But that's between you and your mom (and if she's paying the bills, you don't have a whole lot of leverage on that one).
Good luck!

Phone died and I put it on the charger and the red light keeps flashing.

Phone died and I put it on the charger (wall charger) and the red light keeps flashing. It's been doing that for a little less than an hour, I pulled the batttery twice & get the same light flashing. I also read othe posts and it says to just let it charge for a few hours but i don't think it's gonna work. If you know anything about it let me know please & thank you.

When connected to the charger, is the "no battery" symbol showing?
Leave the device to charge 2-3 hours, and then, still connected to the USB cable, remove the the battery from the device a few seconds and reinsert it. If it boots--leave it to charge to 100% (check Options > Status for the percentage). If it doesn't reboot on the first attempt, leave it several more hours. I've had one charge for two days before it came back to life after an extreme battery depletion. Every 3-4 hours, with the device still connected to the charger, you can remove and replace the battery to see if it reboots.

Yes, the iPhone 5S is a global phone. However, Sprint will only unlock phones for use on GSM networks outside of the U.S. In the U.S., that phone can only be used on Sprint's network.

Phone died 2 1/2 months til upgrade

My pantech perception recently died and after trying all of the do it yourself fixes it looks like its completely shot, I went to a verizon store and said theres nothing they could do in regards to an early upgrade so i'm currently using a prepaid tracfone. I'm wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and what if any are my options, thank you.

The future of phone buying is full price and off contract. Call yourself a forward thinker and consider buying at retail.this would also mean you can request the out of contract discount on your line.

Phone died and wont turn back on

I replaced my phones battery after it wouldnt turn on and now the new battery has done the same thing and cannot turn it on again and i do not want to pay for another battery?

You are not supposed to replace the battery by yourself. If you do, Apple will not service the phone anymore and you'll have to look for a 3rd party repair shop to get your device fixed. And we can't help you either, due to the Terms of Use.

Laptop died and trying to use the hard drive as an external

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and did a search, but couldn't find the answer to my problem. I was using a Dell laptop with a Toshiba hard drive. I'm not sure what the model number is, but I think it's hdd2193.
At any rate, the laptop died (it stopped accepting power, nothing to do with the hard drive) but it died with some files on it that I need. Everywhere I looked on the web, it said that all you need to do when this happens is get an external enclosure and plug it in.
I did this and when I plug it in, Windows XP asks me to format my drive! It recognizes it is there, but won't access any of the files.
After some research, somebody informed me that certain Toshiba hard drives are locked to the laptop they came from, and as a result, might not work in an external hard drive enclosure. I need to know if this is the case, and if so, what I can do about it. If this is not the case, then I need to know why it's asking me to format, and how I can access my files. (If necessary, what data recovery program I could use to get my data off of it.)
Keep in mind that there was NOTHING wrong with the hard drive when I pulled it out of the laptop, and I was very careful about disconnecting and connecting it, so I don't believe the hard drive is corrupted. I think there is something else that's wrong, perhaps even the external hard drive enclosure.
Thanks a lot for any help you can give.

MK4026GAX is the model number. That makes it a 40gig IDE 2.5" 9.5mm 5400RPM internal laptop hard drive.
That enclosure is one that is well known to have problems. I would say that the problem is with the enclosure personally, but without having it here to test I can only be about 90% certain of that. But since it draws it's power from the USB port I would have to lean in that direction. Comments on the Newegg site, along with comments I have read elsewhere show that the problem you are having is well known to happen with that enclosure though. If you can try plugging it into a POWERED USB hub or directly into one of the motherboards USB ports. Those normally supply more power than the USB ports mounted on the front of the case. Also, do NOT use a USB extension cord as they tend to cause issues with these types of USB powered enclosures. I normally use one of these to retrieve data from hard drives. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0285941 I've found them to be much more reliable and easier to use than an enclosure for temporary use. I've yet to have a working drive that it won't work with. Plus it works with ALL SATA and IDE hard drives from laptops and desktops.
I know for a fact that it isn't a FAT file system, as that only recognizes hard drive partitions up to 2gigs in size. If it's Windows XP it's either FAT32 or NTFS. Since both systems have XP then it wouldn't matter as XP supports both. I have no idea about the Mac as I don't use them (they aren't reliable enough and too many limitations to be usefull to me).
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

TS2795 can i forward my calls on i-phone 4s without using the actual phone? My phone died and I want to forward all calls until I get a new one.

My I-phone 4s is dead. I want to forward all incoming calls to another phone until I get a new one in the mail. Is it possible to set up without having the actualy phone?

Your cell carrier my be able to help with that.

My phone died and before it did there was a pop up with the android logo and it said downloading please do not turn off. so after that my phone went dark and vibrated every 3 seconds for about 15 seconds and now I can't turn it on. HELP?!?

HELP!

Yes, I had a dead phone now as well and it keeps vibrating and it rings when there is a call. The new lollipop is buggy and never should have been released. Sometimes it can be fixed using their software tool which only works if you have full access to your phone from a computer. I tried but I could not get full access and I even took it to Samsung and they could not get into it. Bottomline for me was hours wasted and 6 days to get a phone because they couldn't even get my replacement phone shipped like they said they would. They claimed "shipping precess malfunction". They will not allow store to give out replacements so they apparently do not give one sxxx about customer satisfaction. I have been a loyal customer for years but now I believe it is time to leave the Verizon and try another carrier.

Lync Phone Edition and wpad.dat - using proxy for firmware updates

Our Lync Phone Edition devices seem determined to use our proxy server for firmware updates, even though the server is directly accessible.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
The phones are learning of the wpad.dat file via DHCP 252. The wpad file has several rules that should be causing a bypass but none is taking effect. The proxy is dropping the traffic because it doesn't match a rule.

I do not have those options set in DHCP because we do not use these as PIN-authenticated phones. The phone is registering fine and is learning the correct URL:
BaseURL = http://xyz-lyncfe-02.xyz.net/RequestHandler/Files/UCPhone/POLYCOM/CX600/Rev-5/ENU/4.0.7577.4444/CPE
Are you saying that the phone will bypass the proxy if it learns the server name via DHCP but it will use the proxy (and ignore the local names list in wpad.dat) if it learns the name via DNS-based discovery and SIP registration?

My phone died and i charged it overnight but now it wont turn on what do i do?

How do I change a cell phone number on my iPad. I have a new cell phone number and want to use the iCloud

How do I change my cell phone number on my iCloud account with my iPad? I have a new number and want to activate the iCloud

If you're talking about the phone number on your iPad for iMessage, the number is associated with the ID when you turn on iMessage on your iPhone. If the number is incorrect, try turning off iMessage on your phone, wait a minute or so, then turn it back on.
