I called them up and they put me on hold for 15 minutes, then came back on the line and said something to the effect of "yeah, our tracking system isn't perfect, yeah, we received it." Excellent. I'll give them a call in the morning and hopefully they do have it.

Just an update for any Sprint GNex owners: I took the risk and installed the 4.2.1 OTA today. It's working beautifully so far - bluetooth is solid, battery seems okay (although the battery reporting screen is broken, I'll be watching via BetterBatteryStats), and it's just as snappy as 4.1.1 (which is to say, very!)

Is it completely in my head, or does the S3 charge faster than most phones? It seems like every time I plug it in, it's fully charged much quicker than I expect. It could also be because the battery doesn't drain as quickly as my 3D does, so it usually has less to charge. I don't know.

I think the charger it comes with is better than most, or at least better than my old ones (at least I think it's the same charger as my Note 2's, white/black with the usb port on the side?). If you have a Nexus 7 use that thing's charger, drat phone will be full in a half hour (I'm probably exaggerating a bit).

So, it looks like my EVO 3D decided to break on me. Receiver's painfully quiet. Speaker is quieter but i can still make a call out if I hold it close. Earbuds have been a temporary fix for the time being. Going to flash back to Stock and see if that fixes anything, but, if it persists, what are my options? I'm on a family plan (1500/everything) and don't have insurance on the phone.

You have to be rooted and it has to be installed as a system app (I.e. flashed, not just installed in the OS like an apk) but once it's there you can just switch between PRL's on the fly nice and easy. Been using one called 00001 and another called 01337-Mod (  ) and despite being about as fast as Sprint, there's better coverage and as Duckman said, it's a ticket out of the contract.

I followed the steps on there, but the only hiccup was that after installing the PRL and changing the setting in the .plist file, the phone said "searching", but never went to "no signal". I let it sit at "searching" for about 5 minutes, then changed the .plist setting back and rebooted. I then had Verizon (verified by using *2). Also, through some black magic all of my SMS, MMS, and data worked fine. I have that PRL saved for a rainy day, but I then restored back to Sprint's PRL because I get pretty good, fast LTE coverage here in Houston.

Does this work on any Sprint phone running CM10? I've got an Evo 3D running CM10 and I'd love to use this. Not to get out of my contract, it's just that I have terrible reception in some places so I'd like to be able to switch easily. Edit: nevermind, seems to work on most AOSP roms but it's pretty device-specific. FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Feb 6, 2013 |

Hopefully someone else can jump in and fill your shoes. Has anyone looked at Ting? They seem pretty sweet if you don't mind using a slightly older phone and don't use a ton of data. You can get 500 minutes 2,000 texts and 1GB data for $47. The best phones you can bring over is a Nexus S, GS2 or Photon 4G unless you want to buy a phone at full price.

I have this sneaking suspicion were gonna have tons of inside poo poo to bitch about. So I'll do my best to keep on the thread like I used to for Att.

It's worth a shot - at worst you will end up having to find a way around it, at best you can flash prls at the drop of a hat.

I just re-upped with Sprint but NV seems to be going nowhere in Sprint and my immediate area is just terrible for service. I'm routinely at poor signal in house and I have to wonder even if NV rolls out here, am I still on the fringe. Definitely going to use this when some rainy day comes.

It could have saved me months of headache thanks to lack of reception at my office. Working perfectly with the app (it was already included in AOKP) and nice to have data inside a building for once.

I had an odd dream that Sprint was getting the next Nokia Windows Phone that was said to have a real PureView camera... Can dreams be valid rumor sources? Either way I cannot wait to get off android.

I wanted to flash a different prl before but I was too lazy to do the footwork, and this makes it incredibly easy.

I am not sure if they qualify as  due to the hazy legality of getting a contract voided by misrepresenting service conditions (I.e. you aren't in an actual dead zone, you're forcing your phone to roam so you can avoid the ETF when Sprint nixes you)

Not sure if anyone else has experience with this, but I thought I'd ask here. My wife and I got HTC EVO 4G LTE units last year on Sprint and all of a sudden are both are now giving us issues. 1 - My phone - Can connect to Wifi, and 3g, but I get no data on 4g LTE. Could this just be a system issue in Chicago? 2 - Wife's Phone - Her phone will randomly go to the Recent Apps multitasking page. Worst is when this happens when she is using google navigator and it drops out of the program. Any help/thoughts?
