So I really want to switch from Verizon to the Sprint EPRP 500 plan with an EVO but I notice it's STILL sold out in the EPRP store. Would I be able to go to a sprint store with all of the EPRP info (the employee email/number) and get what I want? Or should I just wait for the EVO 3D?

Gazaville Slugger posted:I am using a loving HTC Hero still and I plan on waiting. It's only a couple more months. I'll live. Yeah, the thing is I'm stuck on Verizon with a $75 bill (500 mins, 250 texts, 10MB data) per month with a lovely dumbphone when I could be paying $5 less for a nice android phone with unlimited 4G data and all the fancy bells and whistles. I can wait longer but it's getting harder and harder. Any idea when the 3D will be out? And will it have the same availability problems?

What if I wanted to get on the EPRP plan with a new 3D? Would I have to buy out of contract and then buy the plan seperately?

So I'm currently on Verizon, looking to switch to Sprint. What are my chances of getting on EPRP and an EVO 3D at or near launch? The EPRP website still has the regular EVO out of stock. What the hell?

Duckman2008 posted:Def just wait for the Evo 3D launch, they will likely gently caress up and short stock the phone like they do every year, but usually if you order right on launch you have a fairly good chance of getting it. Yes, from what little research I've found that even without the 3D gimmick, it simply has more features than the Nexus S and is better in almost every way. If only it would actually come out. I hope it's rootable too. I really want to tinker with it.

Does the Port-in discount apply to EPRP? Or does that count as corporate?

a shameful boehner posted:I wish we could get an EVO 3D release date already Yeah, there's no point in going with the EVO right now with the 3D just around the corner. I'm not gonna buy a phone that I will use for 2+ years that is obsolete 1 month after purchase. At least you're not suffering with a Samsung Alias like I am. I swear this phone has gotten slower with old age. It now takes 1-2 seconds to register button presses. What the christ.

This right here is very good news. If it's true it pretty much locked in my choice of the EVO 3D over the Nexus S.

Or is that only for regular plan users? Also I read somewhere in this thread of a discount for porting my number over? Is that true or am I just imagining things?

td4guy posted:So the Network Vision plan is to have a standard CDMA signal running on both 800MHz and the current 1900MHz, for excellent range, building penetration, and network capacity. But all of our current phones only look for a signal on 1900MHz. I did a bit of googling and, from what I gathered, it looks like we're all going to have to get new phones with multi-mode/whatever radios that are smart and advanced enough to listen on both frequencies. I really doubt it would just be a simple reflash. Radio antennas are designed to work best in certain bands of frequencies (ask any ham radio operator, that's why they often have so many of them).

Duckman2008 posted:Make sure you get your $125 port credit (goes till July 23rd). Overall, it can change but right now Sprint is a no brainer thanks to VZ tiered data plans. Get the 3D or Nexus S phone wise. My Evo 3D is currently on its way and I'm porting my number over from Verizon. When I talked to the Sprint rep they said I had to manually redeem the port credit and I only have 72 hours to do it. How do I go about doing this? Will the instructions come with the phone or is it somewhere on the website?

Duckman2008 posted:I'm assuming you haven't ported the number yet (which is more than fine). When the phone comes in you call Sprint and have them port your number. After that, you go to sprint.com/switchtosprint and register for youe credit. The 72 hours is from time of port, so don't fret missing that due to shipping. When I signed up I gave them my Verizon information on the website so I assumed they handled it. How do I start the actual port?

So I just got my phone in and I'm trying to activate it. When I go to plug in my phone number (or serial number) at sprint.com/activate it says "Sorry, this account has been cancelled or closed." What do I do? Should I call from my old verizon phone? Would that even work? FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 22:40 on Jun 27, 2011 |

The Entire Universe posted:Yep, the touch sensor is incredibly sensitive on this phone. Maybe a case can help by virtue of giving extra girth to the phone which would help keep hand flesh from pressing around the edge of the phone and hitting the button. I do this so often. It's so annoying. Anyone have any good case recommendation on the budget side?

z16bitsega posted:Battery life with the 3D is just absolutely absurd. 16 hours 30 minutes and it's still sitting at 80%. I think I got a detective battery. I had it unplugged overnight and it was down to 30% from 80%. 50% in 6 hours of standby seems like a lot. Or is this just the "warm up period" people talk about?

Heffer posted:So I've been stuck in digital roaming mode for the last three days. I kind of assumed I got booted off because I tethered too much at my friends house. The advanced tech support guy says there's been an outage in my city since the twenty second, which seems ridiculous. Any advice? My (home) internet has been down for the past 5 days and I've been tethered since then. I've been watching netflix (on my PC), gaming (poorly, ping is awful) and downloading just like I have been before and I haven't run into any issues yet. Sprint doesn't seem to care what you do with their connection so I doubt they booted you. PDANet is pretty awesome. I gotta say.

mastershakeman posted:My dad was telling me that Lightsquared's 4g (in partnership with sprint) is causing a bunch of waves in aviation news because pilots are worried Lightsquared's frequencies will mess up all of their GPSes. Is there any truth to this? If it's anything like the Wifi on an airplane controversy it's just paranoia. Any device meant for airplane safety should be shielded against widely used frequencies or it shouldn't be on a plane at all.

900ftjesus posted:It's been less than two weeks since release. It's a bit early to jump on the XDA bandwagon and declare "htc lied, epic fail!!!!" As soon as they said it would ship locked and would be unlocked later, I expected a month for the unlock. Moto and SE are unlocking bootloaders, so I really doubt HTC is going to lie about going that route. Yeah, I probably should have worded it better. I just hope the carriers haven't insisted on keeping the bootloaders locked on their new flagship phones.

DaveKap posted:Does anyone else have a weird problem (EVO 3D) where text messages show up out of order on their phone? I'll get a couple of texts from a friend, send one back, and then I'll get a couple more and they'll be listed as coming before the one I sent to my friend. Sometimes I'll send 2 and then the next text from my friend will be in between the 2 I just sent. What's up with this? Never had it happen on AT&T. Yeah, same thing happens to me on my 3D as well. Wasn't sure if this was a Sprint thing or an Evo3D thing. Edit: My Seido Active case came in today. I'm really liking this case. It feels very sturdy and protective without adding too much bulk. The rubber edges seem to pick up pocket lint a lot though, hopefully that will stop with use. Thanks to whoever recommended it! FlyingCheese fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Jul 17, 2011 |

I don't mind a refurb, I guess I am more worried about whether I could still get root access or not, I read something about the new evo's being difficult to root or something because of the software updates. Full s=off is coming for the Evo3D any day now. And HTC's unlocked bootloader is coming in a few weeks. Either way it will be rooted soon. As for now, temp root is really easy to do.
