Deathlove posted:Lol, got the replacement today, and it's a 4G. Calling Asurion got me the "it will never be back in stock" response. Hooray. What are your options? Can they really down grade your replacement just because they are out? That seems pretty shady. Can you return the phone, get your deductible back, and buy a replacement?

Duckman2008 posted:They won't do SERO transfer of liabilities is the problem, so its more a matter of "they won't let him do it." I am guessing they wouldn't let him add her on as a SERO line, but they will let her do EPRP for sure. Oh, I thought Sprint allowed you to get another SERO plan in your name as long as you currently had one. I just wanted to know if people selling their plans on there were legit, but I'll tell him to call about that.

There was this post by Kenfoldslive in the Android Phone thread http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3494233&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=58#post406532412 Basically, it seems that both the Nexus S 4G and the Galaxy Nexus guys will be lucky to see JB at all before the end of the year and Sprint isn't REALLY obligated to do anything if they don't want to. It'll come, just really late. It looks like GSM Nexus devices (or the Nexus tablet(s?) will be the only true way to get fast updates on time as promised. If only GSM worked in Omaha.

Only a big deal of they want to create a separate account or you don't pay.

Okay, so this National Weather Service alert bullshit kind of sucks. I woke up at 3am this morning because my phone made this loud godawful noise I'd never heard before to warn me about a flood advisory. I think I saw somebody else post about that a while back... I haven't looked too closely into it, but is there any control at all over this "feature"?

Well that's all subjective and might depend on whether you JB or not. Personally I'm way too busy to mess with that, I just want a phone that works and has the best apps so I will continue to use whatever iPhone Apple releases. Now that I have an AppleTV, iPad, and Mac it all just works together and I don't have to think about it (other than as a developer). If you love to tweak and customize you can go for the JB, or just go with Android.

CombatCupcake posted:Pretty close to ordering the EVO LTE. Is anyone holding out to see the iphone 5? I don't really want an iphone but just curious if it might be loads better than the 4s. I have a 4S, but I am getting a couple of new iPhones (5 or whatever they are called) next month. Honestly I really don't think the new iPhone will be loads better than the 4s, but it will be better. A lot of the rumors point to the following: - a 4 inch screen (it will be taller but not wider or thicker) - better camera (dropping down to f2.2 is the rumor) - LTE - bigger battery because of LTE - Siri improvements - fast processor - whatever else iOS 6.0 brings new I'm no expert but Apple is not about blowing people out of the water with specs. It is about making the software to get the most out of the hardware they have. Many things on Android are better spec wise (cameras for example), but still the iPhone does it better in most cases. So I guess my point is if the reason you didn't get a 4S is because you wanted a bigger screen good chance the new iPhone will entice you. I switched from Android to the 4S and it took me a month to get use to it. Now like Ender I have an Apple TV and iPad, and I'm invested in the Apple eco-system. This was suppose to be a one year experiment for me with Apple, and the fact I am using my 2 available upgrades to buy the new iPhone should tell you how it went. Also I JB my iPhone after using it for 7 months. JB was simple as running a file on your computer and plugging your iPhone in. Gave me back some of the things I was missing from Android (customization mainly).

I actually like it, but that's because at least half the time it's an alert for a dust storm, and the only way to find out about one of those occurring before it hits you is to check the news at the exact right moment. I'm quite happy that it does not consider excessive heat warnings enough to text an alert - if it's 115 outside, I already loving know.

Unlike (traditional) radios and television though, phones can serve as pretty intelligent filters. I wouldn't mind having a bit better control over what kind of messages are received as things like thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc., are things I'm definitely interested in knowing about. Yet at the same time I couldn't give two shits about flash flood warnings because I don't immediately live in a flood prone area and they tend to happen all the time. On the other hand, if I was unfortunate to live in a flood prone area, I'd probably care a lot more. Interesting to note that it seems the actual capability to receive these messages is limited to particular geographic areas. I wonder if it's something as simple as some NWS offices are capable of sending them (and carriers are now required to have the ability to receive, process, and disseminate them), and other NWS offices can't yet.

Ditto, I live in West Texas so we get some pretty rough dust and hail storms that really come out of nowhere. I also don't have cable so this has already saved my bacon once in the short time they've been doing it.

They're pretty much the same situation there - either you use it and roam 100% of the time and they boot you, or you call them up and try to get them to do it proactively.

Does Sprint ever do any kind of deals for upgrades like they do for new lines? I got all excited over this Amex $100 dollar card and didn't realize its for new lines only, and since my upgrade is 9/1 I was calling to try and get it pushed up to get in on it.

How exactly do I port my number from Sprint to GV? I don't see that option anywhere in the settings. Do I have to click the "Disable" option next to my number first before I can port it over? Or do I have to do it from "Sprint's" end? I thought there was just a little option in the GV settings that was like "Port your number to us!" I found the help page for porting your number to GV, but that doesn't say how, it just goes into the nitty gritty of what to expect.

Some stores have been able to allow current customers to upgrade early through a promotion called Upgrade Now. There are also some loyalty perks in the pipeline that may end up being pretty nice.

ThermoPhysical posted:What exactly has to happen for you to qualify for Upgrade Now? There aren't specific details listed for qualifying. It looks like you have to at least be in your 9th month with a device and the fee reduces the longer you have your device. It's something that shows up for corporate store reps as an offer when they open your account. I would suggest to call one and ask if you're eligible.

So I've been holding out on my upgrade but the charging port on my Evo4G has now poo poo the bed. I went to order online (I have EPRP) but when I click on a phone it has some message about I can't order from this section of the website, but when I click the link it gives me it just takes me back to the phone selection. I guess I have to call in my order?

The little bar that's a part of the phone frame between the speaker grill and top of the screen on my Evo 3D is bent upwards. It doesn't have an impact on the function of the phone, but it annoys the hell out of me every time I see it. I'm kind of frustrated with the 3D right now. Not sure what I want to do about it just yet. The hosed up state of Sprint's Galaxy Nexus (is it a Nexus? Is it not a Nexus?) makes me leery of that for a sidegrade. That pretty much leaves the S3 for me right now, but that's going to be more money since I'm still under contract....

So here's my situation. I've been one of the extra lines on a family plan since June 2010 when I hopped on with the HTC Evo. On July 25th, I upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus which keeps me in for another 2 years. Basically, is it too late to get out of this deal and go back to my Evo or switch carriers? The Nexus just isn't working the way I want. I live in the city, and after hopping off the subway it tends to take up to 10 minutes to find reception, battery life has been worse than I expected, and there's also been a volume issue. What are my options here if any?

gman14msu posted:What are my options here if any? As for the Galaxy Nexus the best you can do is sell used, and buy used a device of your liking. You can also ride out "a while" on the Evo in hopes that the JB Galaxy Nexus update addresses your issues. Or you can pay the "prorated" ETF ($350) and bail to a different carrier.

Yeah I figured that was where I was. If I pay the "pro-rated" $350 to get out of the contract, how much could I sell my one month used Nexus for? And how much would I get?
