YAY! I picked up my replacement phone today. The store calls me at about 8:45PM, “Your replacement phone is here ready for exchange.”

“Great, what time do you close?”

“9PM”

…great.

I’m thinking, OK, I could just pick it up tomorrow. No, that won’t do. The battery is swelling up and of course if I wait, with my luck, that would be the day the battery blows up. Nope, picking it up today. I hop on the bike and race there. Luckily I don’t live far from the store. When I get there there’s already maybe 10 people in front of me with the same battery exchange problem. Odd thing is, my phone did not fall under the replacement battery warranty/recall. But since I had the swelling and was pushing up my screen from the body, they exchanged it out.

So, now I sit here with a brand new phone. I lucked out this time, normally every time I leave that place I have to spend more money to get it fixed…
