A Bad Poster posted:Yeesh, I glazed over that $0.20 a minute. I rarely use minutes ever though, I'm mainly worried about texting. According to this from the sprint community forums, texting to Canada doesn't cost you anything, but texting from Canada will run you $0.20 a text.

spidoman posted:Looks like the finally fixed the family plan Google voice integration problem with my account. However, the receiving a second call before going to voicemail bug is still in there. What other stuff do I need to watch out for? Receiving a second call is actually not a bug. When the phone stops ringing the first time the caller is sent to voicemail, then it rings your phone again so you can listen in while they leave a message and decide if it's someone you really want to talk to or not. You can disable that by turning call screening off in the Google voice settings.

brc64 posted:Phones still have unlimited (non-roaming) 3G, right? The cap is just for mobile broadband, and I guess tablets? Which also makes me wonder if they cap 3G on phones that pay for the mobile hotspot feature... I could have sworn I read in the TOS that 4g is really unlimited, but 3g is capped at 5gb a month. But now that I go and read it again I cant find that anymore, maybe they changed it. Edit: In the fine print at the EPRP site it says, "Sprint reserves the right to limit throughput speeds or amount of data transferred; and to deny, terminate, modify, disconnect or suspend service if usage either exceeds (a.) 5GB/month in total or (b.) 300MB/month while off-network roaming.", but the actual TOS just says, "We reserve the right to limit, suspend or constrain any heavy, continuous data usage that adversely impacts our network performance". Crazy vague, maybe one of these people who works for sprint can clarify. McPhearson fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Jun 6, 2011 |

mtr posted:In preparation for the Evo 3D launch, I'm going to sell my Evo on craigslist or Ebay. I know the obvious step of deleting my SD card and reverting the phone back to factory settings, but for some reason I think I remember reading (maybe in this thread) that there is some code I should look up/erase/change so that whoever gets my phone has no chance of doing anything with my Sprint account. Yeah, reverting to factory settings doesn't remove the programming information. To completely remove everything go to the dialer, press ##786#, enter your MSL, then hit reset. This of course assumes you know your MSL, but you can call sprint and get that info.

Sprint posted:Our apologies, but there was a typo in the spec sheet for EVO 3D. The correct feature should read: capture video up to 720p and playback up to 1080p on both 2D and 3D. That's surprising. Not that big a deal in my opinion, still an awesome phone.

The Entire Universe posted:poo poo, you just gave me the idea. Going to give it a whirl in a moment, but I will need to figure out how. There wasn't an HDMI adapter with the phone, so I don't know of any way to get it to my TV. TV has no wireless (sold separately, gently caress that) so I just have my PS3. Do you think I could route the video through my PS3 via some kind of media server? You actually can do this. On the phone launch an app called Media Share and set up what it wants you to (server name, etc.). On the PS3 go to video, pictures, or music and boom, there's your phone.

CRUISECONTROL posted:I see a few of posts about getting incredibly good battery life. Lots of reviews I've seen have said that this is not the case though. What's the deal with this? Has HTC kicked out an update that improved it since just before release or what? I'm actually getting better battery life on the 3D then I did with my TP2. But like with everyone else, the first day it drained super fast.

Smoking_Dragon posted:I have an EVO 3D and want to know if there is application I can put on my lock screen that will toggle between ringer and vibrate mode. I have a mute application which does what I want except it puts the phone in silent mode and the phone does not vibrate if I get a call, text message or alarm notification. I've gone through the market place a bunch but most of the apps that toggle the ringer mode are widgets that don't seem to be able to be placed on the lock screen. Ideally I'd like to find an application that would, for instance, allow me to hold the volume down button for a few seconds to put the phone into vibrate mode (when the screen is off) but I haven't found anything even close to that. The closest thing I can think of doing is going to personalize->widget->settings->profile. That gives you a button on whichever screen you want that toggles between loud/silent/vibrate. Not as good as a dedicated hardware button or a lockscreen app but works pretty well.

Protip posted:I'm looking to sell my HTC Hero now that I've upgraded. I've done a factory reset on the phone and erased all of my data however I noticed when I go into the Phone Identity settings it still shows my phone number and my sprintpcs.com username. Is this normal until someone else gets the phone and activates it? Or is there a way to erase that information as well? Dial ##786#, hit the menu button, choose reset, and enter your MSL. That removes all programming info and sets the phone to how it was when you got it.

ddogflex posted:Anyone here in Portland? My EVDO speeds have been loving unusable lately, like last month at least. I can't even stream a loving podcast without it dropping out. I get maybe 200kbps in speedtest, and that's if I'm stationary. It's getting really frustrating. WiMax is almost completely pointless for me also, it drops out constantly if I'm in a vehicle, so I can't use it unless I'm outdoors AND stationary. Uhg. You're lucky, I'm out in Cabazon, CA and getting around 60 kbps on average.

I've gone through over 10 phones with no charges thanks to insurance. I've dropped a phone on a concrete floor and the screen stopped working, free new phone. Fell out of a moving car and just wouldn't turn on, free new phone. Dropped a textbook on it and it stopped sliding open, free new phone. If your someone who just doesn't treat your phones nicely its totally worth it.

sirbeefalot posted:I've factory reset my EVO 3D, wiping the SD card as well, in preparation for selling it on eBay. Is there any risk of my information showing up for anyone who buys it? I did start it up again and updated to ICS, and saw in the Phone info that it still has my phone number showing. Is there some way to totally disassociate the hardware so that it is back to a completely pre-activated state? Or am I being overly cautious? Dial ##786#, enter your msl (you can call sprint and get it if you need to), and choose reset.

I'm not sure how amazing the radio in the N5 is. I was at Disneyland over the weekend and my N5 was jumping from LTE to 3G to 1x to roaming constantly. My girlfriends Sprint 4s, on the other hand, had a solid 3G connection the entire time. Then again that's the only place I've had any issue so far; at work and home I get consistent LTE, only 3mbps but at least it doesn't jump around killing my battery.

I Dont Like You posted:Anyone have any complaints about the Nexus 5 (well, minus any complaints about Sprint's network)? Believe it or not, I am STILL using a Nexus S, and it's about drat time to get something newer, and being able to take it to another carrier in the future is a nice perk.. My only real complaint about it so far is the microphone being on the bottom. I talk kinda light so a lot of people complain they can't hear me until I turn the phone on its side and talk directly into it. Other than that the phone is pretty awesome.

Been wondering around the historic district all afternoon using the 3G to check maps, post pics on Facebook, check exchange rates etc. and have only used 80MB of the 1GB you get so I should be fine my whole trip. I was in Costa Rica around when they first did that roaming package thing. I got no reception anywhere I went. I had to use WiFi calling.

In California and a few other places when you buy a subsidized phone you have to pay sales tax on the full, unsubsidized price. It's probably that.

I'm on sero premium and I have a Note 3 that started messing up so I decided to activate an old Galaxy Nexus I have laying around until I get a new phone. The website wouldn't let me activate it without switching to Sero Unlimited. So even if you try to switch to a phone several years older than the one you have now it still tries to charge you an extra $10/month.
