Kakesu posted:My fiancee wants to get a new phone. We have a family plan with three lines on it (mine, hers, and her mother's). Somehow, when we added her mother's line, something got messed up in Sprint's system, and it changed the "primary line" on our account to her mother's line. That line became eligible for an upgrade under the old Sprint Premier system in October. I too am wondering how the new premier changes will affect my current upgrade date, currently it is July 1st, am I gonna have to wait another year?

poxin posted:Yeah this has been happening to me lately. Unfortunately a reboot doesn't fix it on my device. I've even tried removing the accounts and adding them again, no luck with that either. I fixed this by unchecking "auto-sync", rebooting, then rechecking it.

So is there something that I missed about the Evo LTE that is causing everyone to run out for the Nexus instead of waiting? The negatives I can think of are based on preference really.

Anyone waffling on trying out the ICS based ROMs for the E3D, give them a try, phenomenal. They run better than anything I've tried so far.

Any chance that Radio Shack will be offering a trade in credit for the Evo LTE like they did for the 3d?

So what is going to be the best deal for getting the Evo LTE? Are there any good trade in values if coming from the Evo 3d, or is selling it after the upgrade my best bet? I only ask because I got 175 for my OG Evo when upgrading to the 3d

900ftjesus posted:Don't worry, a ton of poo poo ROMs with bad fonts and worse colors will pop up soon. There are already developers for the better ROMs working on the EVO LTE, including a working CM9 ROM. Sure the poo poo ROMs will be there soon but that's going to be true for every Android phone. The ROM support for the EVO LTE is actually quite amazing for how long it's been out and it will only get better. Can you honestly tell me there are no poo poo ROMs for the Nexus?

Deathlove posted:I've been trying to get my 3D back to 1.4 for a few hours now, and I just can't get the brick to happen. When I did it I tried for a long time and couldn't get it to brick. I stopped for a couple days and gave it another shot, got it immediately. It ended up being more like 3 seconds for me, I didn't count when I did get it though, just watched the screen.

Duckman2008 posted:Yeah, except that no one outside of these forums even knows what a nexus phone is Not to be an rear end but most people don't give a poo poo since their phones do exactly what they want and do it well for the most part. It's all about what bothers you. For example, when I compared the Galaxy Nexus to the Evo LTE, I honestly thought, and still think, that the Evo LTE is a far superior phone. It boggles my mind that people in this thread still recommend the Galaxy Nexus over the Evo LTE.

Cmdr. Shepard posted:Multi-tasking / Sense kills the EVO for me. I know it's to each his own, but to me there is no choice at all when faced with vanilla Android versus a custom interface like Sense. Neither of those issues are going to bother someone who just wanders into this thread for a recommendation though. Really if you don't know have a view on Sense already or know about the multitasking issue then neither is going to matter to you. I know about the issue and see it in action but it still doesn't bother me. Earlier it was recommended to someone that they either get the Nexus or iphone instead of the Evo LTE because of the multitasking issue and I understand the Nexus recommendation if the multitasking issue really bothers you but the iphone does the exact same thing when it comes to multitasking.

Lowen SoDium posted:You have 2 solid reasons not to recommend the EVO LTE - The multitasking issue and Sense*. The reasons I can think of to recommend the Evo LTE over the Nexus : Superior screen Higher build quality Better overall specs The screen is the main reason since that is what you're looking at the whole time and even though it is preference I think most people would agree. Once there is a fully functioning version of CM9 do you think your opinion will change?

nate fisher posted:Ha I do question higher build quality. HTC's quality has been poo poo over years. One of the main reason I will never buy another HTC phone. But you guys keep at it because I don't have a dog in this race (all my lines are leaving Android). Believe me, I knew I was getting the Nexus because of HTC build quality until I handled the Evo, it's like it was made by a completely different company. I completely forgot about the camera, which is far superior on the Evo

Lowen SoDium posted:. I'm confused who you are talking about recommending the phone to. If you're talking about the normal everyday no research on phones type person the Evo is the better choice for two reasons: Bigger screen (better?) Far away better camera The person will not give a poo poo about updates, multitasking, or official Google support. Those two reasons are all I would need to recommend this phone to the person . For a more techy person the conversation will go differently and depending what they want another recommendation may be warranted. I don't want to come off like an rear end but if you are recommending because of the multitasking issue then I feel like you are pushing your own preferences onto them. I guarantee once the person has their new Nexus in their hands and sees the Evo they will not be happy with your recommendation. I highly recommend you check out the Evo to see it in action. Isn't there an issue with Google support and the CDMA Nexus?

Lowen SoDium posted:If we are recommending phones to the normal everyday no research on phones type person, the iPhone is the best option. Not if they specifically want an android phone. Lowen SoDium posted:The multitasking issue has the potential to cause other issue. It is HTC changing the standard memory management from the way Android was designed. At best, it is going to cause people's phones to not multitask well. At worse, it could break compatibility with some apps. And even if you think that I am blowing that out of proportion, you have to at least agree that it is not a desirable behavior. Not desirable if you know and care about it and it doesn't cause issues other than causing apps to reload. I can also claim that the superior hardware has the potential to push the phone far beyond the Nexus' limits. Maybe HTC releases a surprise update that makes sense far away the greatest piece of software ever. Claiming potential issues that don't exist is ridiculous. Lowen SoDium posted:And yes, I am pushing my personal preference. That's the whole point of giving my opinion. My preference is to have a phone that works with out issue and to not have to wait 6-8 months to get software updates because of some bloat that I didn't want in the first place. If I recommended a phone that I think has short comings, I don't think I would be giving a very good opinion. What if they ask for your recommendation on a phone with a big screen and great camera powered by android? Will you tell them about multitasking and updates then recommend the Nexus?

goku chewbacca posted:Does a Verizon PRL force roaming, or allow you to connect to 3G data instead of 1x when you do roam? Yes, it forces roaming. You don't need the roam control app if you have a Verizon only PRL as Verizon will be the only network the phone will see. 3G will be on Verizon as well. Basically you will have a Verizon phone, just watch your data use.

Is it a Sprint or Sense issue that every time I send an MMS to a group of people it sends it to all of their email addresses too? Anyone know how to fix this? Was using CyanogenMod and didnt have this issue but MMS barely worked to begin with. Really loving annoying.

Cmdr. Shepard posted:Well, it looks like Sprint officially launched LTE in Chicago today. Their own maps show LTE coverage in almost the entire Chicagoland area. However, my experience has been that coverage is sporadic, intermittent, slow (many of my LTE speedtests are in the 1.5-4mbps range). There are still areas where 3G is useless, and I still can't stream pandora on my way to work. I've got full strength and incredibly fast LTE in wrigleyville and in the Edison park area. Around 15Mbit/s both up and down. Nothing downtown however.

iluvpr0n posted:Thanks for this update - I've got an EVO 4G LTE and my data connection has been really flaky over the past couple weeks (using this CM10 ROM). When I have gotten LTE, speeds have been pretty good (4-6Mbps down, .35 - 2.57Mbps up over a few speed tests), but it'd be nice to have stable connections. Try the komodo kernel, the revision 12 one fixed my data issues.

Cmdr. Shepard posted:What are you asking? Peruse any Evo LTE threads on S4GRU and xda and you'll see all kinds of people having issues with the Evo's LTE radio performance. The amount of 3rd party developer support for the phone is pathetic compared to the much larger community of the GS3. Yeah, there's a cm10 rom, but last time I used it half the features were broken, so I'm using a modified stock rom (MeanRom), which is good, but it's still Sense and therefore lovely. I have no knowledge of the newest cm10 rom because I decided not to bother with it until it's in a more working state. I'm glad to hear it has come along way though. I highly doubt they've fixed the LTE connectivity issue, do you have a link? Gonna disagree with most of this. I am also in the Chicago market, running the 10/29 CM10 and have zero issues with LTE. The handoff from 3g is fine, speed is good and I have coverage for almost all of Lakeview, a big chunk of Lincoln Park, and surprisingly a good portion of the near north side. The unfortunate part of reading xda is that nobody shares details of what they're using on their phone yet they will bitch about issues like it's the OPs responsibility to fix it. Instructions are always ignored with the same results. The only way to truly figure out what works is to try it out yourself and always do a full wipe. As for how big the development community is, never been to the gs3 forums but the EVO LTE one is very active.

grimcreaper posted:I am looking at getting a Note 2 through sprint, but i have a BIG question concerning the corporate discount thing. I work for Sears Holdings which provides 25% off with certain plans, after adding the 10$ premium data thing, the monthly bill LOOKS like its going to come out to $62.70something per month. I too work for Sears and have the 25% discount. On the everything 900 plan with tep plus the premium data, which applies after the discount for some reason, my bill ends up being 98 and change , actually went up to 101 and change this month. Hope that helps.

Are the regular sprint family plans gone now? I'd like to drop the minutes and data down quite a bit on our 1500 minutes unlimited data plan but I don't see anything similar on sprints website anymore. I only ask because I have a legit 25% discount and they take the discount off of the main plan, with the new plans the discount ends up being much smaller.

Regarding the framily plan: I have 9 family members currently on Sprint, at least 4 of whom are in the beginning of new 2-year contracts. Can I convert this all over to a framily plan without issue? What do I have to do to get this going? It's just not clear if this is possible and a sprint rep told me flat out that this is impossible. Edit: I should mention that currently these are all on 4 separate accounts and from looking at the info on sprint.com this is not possible?
