My Touch Pro 2 has this weird rainbow effect on the middle of the screen that you can only see when the screen is off. Would this be covered by TEP or would I have to pay $100 to get the screen replaced/fixed?

4G isn't really a big deal unless you plan on streaming HD videos all day or using your phone as a mobile hotspot.

Upside Potential posted:Just got the HTC Arrive. I called the Sero number got setup with premium in 1 minute and off and running. Good bye Touch Pro 2 I will miss you... not I have one too and I'm really digging it so far. I showed it to my co-worker for 2 minutes and now he's trying to get Sprint to swap out his Evo Shift for one.

CharlesM posted:I guess, I just want to know what people think about this. I got an HTC Titan as was recommended a long time ago but it was limited by the low RAM, then a HTC Touch Pro replacement as it was deemed superior to the Titan, but have had a lot of problems with it, especially the keyboard. Somebody said, oh the Touch Pro 2 will be better, it is not as rushed a design and blah blah blah, but I see people having trouble with that so I have become quite skeptical. I went from a Titan to TP1 to TP2 and now I have an Arrive. The phone is very solid and runs wonderfully. The UI is very smooth. There is no screen lag switching to landscape or texting which plagued all those old phones. I've never had any performance issues with the phone. With that said Windows Phone is a completely new operating system so some of the things that Android or even Windows Mobile have are not yet on the Arrive. Most of them are minor though, like no custom mp3 ringtones, flash support or tethering. A large update is coming out and the end of the year though, which will add a lot of features.

CharlesM posted:Did anybody catch if there are new Windows Mobile handsets for Sprint coming? No new phones were announced, but there are supposed to be a few new phones coming out this fall with the release of the Mango update, though the hardware specs won't be that much improved. There are rumors of a HTC Mazda coming to Sprint, which is basically a slightly bigger Arrive without a keyboard.

It's crazy how the general tone of this thread has changed in the past 6 months. Sprint announced the Evo Shift and Echo, while everyone else was announcing all these high tech phones. Now we have the Nexus S 4G, Evo 3D, Atrix and most likely a few more for later this year.

Tatsujin posted:Sprint literally calls me every day now. It must be because my contract is expiring. I am not really interested in reupping unless I can get a decent phone for cheap. Considering the Evo 3D is about to hit, think there will be a price drop soon on the Nexus S 4G? Did they offer you a $75 credit to reup your contract? You can stack that with the normal phone subsidy discount.

This is already a highly discounted plan and no loyalty or company discount is compatible with this plan." Me: "Oh okay, I understand" Agent: "I noticed that you are Sprint long time customer and loyal. I consider your association with the Sprint so I can offer you $70 credit if you extend the contract for 2 years."

ceebee posted:It's probably been asked before but I don't see it in the OP. Is iPhone 5 confirmed to come to Sprint and would it be super mega expensive to upgrade from my crappy Palm Centro on the SERO plan currently paying $30/month? Assuming Sprint gets the iPhone and they allow it on SERO, you should be able to upgrade to SERO Premium and pay $40/month for it.

Blakkout posted:A have a friend who works in marketing for Best Buy's mobile department. He claims that the big Sprint announcement this month is that the iPhone 5 is actually coming to the carriers this fall, Sprint included. He told me this in response to my assertion that Sprint was just about to announce the 4 coming to Sprint this fall, with the 5 to follow sometime this spring. Could be complete bullshit, but I thought it was worth sharing. Someone posted a Radioshack inventory listing which had the iPhone 5 for Sprint, Verizon and AT&T. http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/01/radio-shack-inventory-screen-pegs-iphone-5-for-sprint/

You can get an ET or Evo3D so I don't see why not. You shouldn't have to pay the $10 data fee unless Sprint changes the SERO policy as currently only 4G smartphones require the data fee.

My girlfriend is interested in exchanging her Nexus S for an iPhone 4, but we're just outside 14 days now. I wonder if retentions can make something happen if I threaten to cancel both of my lines unless we can get it exchanged. I could be wrong, but I think someone tried this a few pages back and they wouldn't budge. Don't forget Sprint's ETF is $350 now.

That'll be a good little goal for me to set for myself, let's see if the TP1 lasts that long. The iPhone 3G looks to be going for over $100 on eBay, so three years?

If they add 800mhz to CDMA would that work on current phones or new phones only? I don't get good coverage inside my office building and better building penetration might fix that.

Sir Bobert Fishbone posted:So I got an iPhone 4S this weekend, and the data speeds and coverage seem...lackluster at best in my area (~.9 Mb/sec or less). If I were to return it, would my contract term return to what it was at before I upgraded? It might be worth jumping ship to Verizon for the $80 ETF I had left. Are your speeds slower than your previous phone? Some people are complaining about the iPhone being slower than android phones which is more than likely a bug that will be fixed. Also to the guy asking about upgrading to the $99 Evo 3D on Amazon, usually those deals are for new customers only.

Drevoak posted:It seems like everyone elses plans are expensive compared to Sprint. I've contemplated switching to get different phones but pay 30+ more a month and not even getting unlimited data sounds so ridiculous to me. Exactly. If Sprint's network was just as good as AT&T they would be charging the same. I'll gladly pay $30 less to have my websites load in 5 seconds instead of 2 seconds and have unlimited data. Sprint in Phoenix is pretty terrible but I haven't had any issues with Siri timing out.

Wimax has nothing to do with building penetration. Sprint runs Wimax on 2500Mhz frequency which is why it's poor. Higher frequencies have worse building penetration.

Should I get AppleCare? Has sprint made any changes recently that should make me reconsider signing a new contract (I have been out of contract for quite some time now)? If you don't want to pay the "4G tax", the Arrive is a solid phone and has an awesome keyboard like the TP2.

Is this something I can do at a Sprint store, or would they find it odd that I didn't purchase the plan through the person who gave the eployee referral? You have to sign up online through the EPRP website to get the discount. If you sign up for a regular plan they probably wont let you switch.

Abel Wingnut posted:I'm fairly ignorant of cell phones so forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is there a site that tells me the quality of a carrier's signal in a particular area? I'm thinking of switching from Verizon to Sprint but wanted to ensure a quality signal in my two primary areas, Manhattan and Eastern NC. You can roam on Verizon, but if you do it too much Sprint will get rid of you. You want to make sure your house/work have decent coverage as you don't want to be using roaming for the majority of your use.

CharlesM posted:The Arrive and Windows Phone really are nothing like the old phones. I understand if your experience is really soured though. I upgraded from a Touch Pro myself and love the Arrive. I've had it for two weeks now, so I've found enough that I'd like to have done differently, but I think any phone will be like that. Anyway, if you still don't want to try it, what is wrong with the LG Marquee? The hero is old and slow and people seem to complain about it all the time. Seconded. I had a Touch Pro and later a TP2. The Arrive is pretty awesome and works perfectly for me. Whatever you do don't get a Hero. It's basically a Touch Pro 2 running android and isn't much better.

While I'm excited Sprint announced the first LTE cities, I'm disappointed they're releasing it in Wimax markets instead of targeting places that were skipped the first time around. Phoenix is the 6th largest city and Verizon and AT&T have LTE here now  moolchaba posted:
Assuming Sprint gets it in June, the phone will be six months old. I doubt anyone on Verizon would care that you waited 6 months for an extra 300 Mhz. Most likely the Evo 3 and SGS3 will be out around then too. brc64 posted:Also, since it's been a while since we talked about it, what do we know about Sprint LTE? More specifically, do we know what frequency it's going to use? Will I have 4G service that I can actually use indoors?

Ender.uNF posted:It certainly does. I'm a premium member over at s4gru.com and the dude who runs the site keeps posting updated maps of live towers and you can see the progress being made. He has contacts inside sprint and the vendors (apparently). The new towers have radio units on the tower behind the antenna so they have 20% better signal generally, sometimes way more so in areas near the live towers the indoor signal is better too. There is a lot of good info about NV on that site. There should be 14 markets live in May and 27 more either this summer or winter. It looks like Phoenix wont be active until winter or early 2013 in phase 2.5.

traslin posted:So is there a good chance that 4G LTE service will be activated on 5/18 when the HTC EVO 4G LTE and the Tri-fi Hotspot are released? Releasing the Gnex as a 4G LTE phone with no LTE service seemed a little strange, but it doesn't seem like Sprint should continue to release additional LTE products without LTE service. LTE should turn on this month but only if you live in one of the phase 1 cities and are near one of the few completed towers in those cities.
