When I finally convert my number to a GV number, does that mean I can assign my Sprint line with a new number? And I'll be able to take my original number to another carrier, should I so desire, without canceling my Sprint account?

ExcessBLarg! posted:Sure but I don't do software builds, video encodes, or large number crunching on my phone. Outside of those applications there's nothing I do on my computer that requires dual core, and there's few things that see significant responsiveness improvement from it. You aren't forward thinking at all. Look at the Atrix. You take your phone, and you make it a laptop. Obviously there's always a need to make better and faster phones because eventually you won't even need a home computer. It will just be your phone.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Erhm, I'm not really defending Sprint, nor do I really care about TOS. I just think it's a jerkbag move to abuse their service in a way that costs them significant money (real money, not fantasy money they would have gotten if everyone who once tethered paid up for the plan). Note that I'm not claiming that brc64, in his particular circumstance, was/is a jerkbag. I used to get 0-2 bars on Sprint on my Diamond in my house. When I enabled roaming only, I got 4 bars. Also, any time I got 0 bars, my Diamond would turn the screen on for no other reason than to remind me how lovely my service was. Additionally, it also wasted my battery life by searching for a stronger signal while increasing radiation. I use about 60 minutes a month. Am I one of those jerkbags abusing the system, maaaan?

brc64 posted:Forget taboo, I didn't even think it was possible to use upgrade eligibility on an Airave (or Airvana, I guess) line. Wouldn't that effectively kill your Airave's service? I would assume that you don't have to put the phone on the Airave line. You would just put it on your own line or eBay it or whatever.

How much data d you 4g people tend to use. I was pretty sure I was going to jump onto my sister's family plan at ATT once the new iPhone came out, but the 2 gig limit is worrying me more and more. Especially if the new iPhone has HSPA+, those 2 gigs will get used up pretty quickly. This is making me lean toward getting a 3D Evo, despite me not really liking Android as a platform. The monthly cost of each will be within $5 of each other, so pricing isn't really an issue. My main concern is that data usage for me is only going to go up, especially considering faster internet, more applications that use it, and higher quality streaming video. I really like Apple's hardware,and iOS just seems so much smoother. Any suggestions or comments to help me make a decision? Oh, I also tend to thing that ATT is an evil company.

Alman posted:I know this is super lame, but you should send an e-mail to dan @ sprint.com and tell them your story. They'll make sure retentions and sometimes even the person who helped you get recognized. I'm not sure how they handle raises but it might even help them with merit increases or short term incentive bonuses. Wouldn't they get in trouble for not following Sprint's insurance policy? I mean, it's good for this guy, but it's hurting Sprint's bottom line.

mastershakeman posted:Is there any real advantage to preordering online versus a walkin store? I don't think I can dodge sales tax via online so it seems better to just do the swap in person and not risk having the package get delayed and my current phone shut off. How would your phone get shut off? edit: When did Sprint start taking pre-orders for the Nexus S compared to when they started selling it? If that's an indicator, we might have a rough gauge of how soon the Evo 3D is coming out. d[-.-]b fucked around with this message at 18:04 on May 14, 2011 |

Do EPRP plans get that extra $10 smartphone fee? So the $60 plan will actually be $70? As far as the Everything Plus Messaging plan goes, it's $40 for 500 minutes and unlimited texting with no data. What would be the best phone to take advantage of this plan?

How worried should I be if I want an Evo 3D on release day, haven't pre-ordered yet, and live in central NJ? I really hate going to that drat store. There shouldn't be any problems upgrading in store for a SERO Premium account, right?

Are there any good phones on Sprint that are more that size? The Nexus S would probably be a good fit. It has some issues with bugs, though.

So Sprint was offering me some kind of extra credit for me for upgrading a phone, which they noted on my account for when I actually upgraded. Now that I have, what do I have to do in order to claim it? It was some additional credit beyond the normal 2 year upgrade, for $50 I think.

Can't even get 4G in my house, but loving the 3D so far. Except for the actual 3D part of the 3D. Fastest I've ever gotten a headache. And I didn't even get to try out the Green Hornet movie. It threw up some error about not having enough licenses or something.

sonicice posted:Have you guys had any issues with the screen becoming non-responsive? Everything works on the unlock screen and I can unlock it, but I can barely do anything else. App menu/Phone/Customize buttons work, but once I'm in those menus, I can't do anything else. I can hit the menu capacitive button and get into any of those areas, but once I'm in there nothing else works. Search button brings up the list of previous searches, but then I can't click on any of them. Restarting the phone brings full functionality back, but it's happened multiple times now. Yes, it's been happening to me more and more. I thought once I left windows mobile I wouldn't have to deal with stuff like this happening anymore. My pre never completely locked up like this before. If the 3D didnt reboot so quickly, I'd probably be pretty angry. It's still very annoying though.

change my name posted:Just got my 3d and I'm actually posting from it now. First thoughts: the screen is beautiful, and everything just seems so intuitive, even if that's more of an android thing. The keyboards are great, even the portrait one. I definitely like the dedicated button that hides the keyboard. Everything seems super smooth and fast, and the 3d is cool even if I have to hold the phone at arms length straight out for it to work. You're hitting the little Q button when you shift from portrait to landscape, I'd guess. What do you mean by "dedicated button that hides the keyboard"? You shouldn't have to hold the phone far away to make it work, unless you have like, fish eyes or something.

I have a symbol at the top right of my phone that appeared the other day, and I don't know where it came from or what it means. It looks something like an ear (either that or a fetus) with sound waves coming out of it. It's to the left of the GPS icon with a slash through it.

Is your in-call volume suddenly a lot louder? I have it on, but even when it's off, the symbol is still there. The GPS symbol is the one with the slash through it, not the ear.

Has anyone else tried converting 3d movies for playback on the Evo 3d? I can get side by side (sbs) 3d movies to work, but stereoscopic videos just play in 2d. If I force it in 3d, it seems to split the frames and display them side by side but in the completely wrong manner.

Anyone else getting this bug on their Evo 3D? When I hit the power button, sometimes the lock screen will show only half of it. The bottom half of the lock screen will appear on the top half of the screen. On the bottom half of the screen, there is only black. I still unlock the phone by swiping up on the bottom half of the screen, though, not the top where the animation looks like I should swipe.
