Checking over my dad's account (which includes my mom and brother) I noticed that both my parents are up for a full upgrade ($150 off etc etc). My dad doesn't care much for upgrading his BB Bold and my mom's comfortable with her Curve. Would I be able to use my mom's upgrade to get my brother the Optimus S? He's coming from my old Hero and I think an Optimus would be a nice upgrade that won't cost anything.

goku chewbacca posted:The Optimus S isn't much of an improvement and isn't worth burning an upgrade, in my opinion.Only really a faster GPU. You should try rooting the Hero and installing CyanogenMod7 and overclocking. That's what I thought. My brothers on the latest CM7 nightly now so that works fine for him. Would the TEP cover a replacement battery cover on the Hero at least? It doesn't bother him that much, but it bugs the hell out of me (it was my old phone and I still kinda love the thing). I'm kinda hoping it does, if not it's off to eBay/Craigslist or something. Skeezy fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Mar 28, 2011 |

brc64 posted:I'm pretty happy with CM7 right now, but has HTC said anything about a Gingerbread update for the EVO? They were one of the first to hop on board with Froyo, but I haven't heard a peep about Gingerbread. It seems surprising to me that the Droid X is going to get it first. http://www.androidguys.com/2011/04/12/htc-evo-4g-htc-thunderbolt-receiving-gingerbread-q2/ That's the rumor I've heard when it comes to GB on the EVO.

SURPRISE WITNESS posted:Just got an Epic 4G from Radioshack.com for $50. Is this phone tits? I'm going from a Palm Pre, so I figure anything is better... For $50 I'd say that's not bad. It's not really a bad phone, it's just you know, Samsung.

If my dad bought the Epic from RadioShack under his number (he's the only one eligible for an upgrade) we could switch it over to my brother's number right? My dad doesn't care for Android and my brother could really use the upgrade from the Hero. I know these Samsung phones aren't the best for certain things but for $50 that's a drat steal.

Just came back from the Sprint store with my brothers new phone. We decided to ditch the Epic (for the best) and just upgrade to the Optimus S. I always thought the Optimus was $50 but apparently it's gone down to $20. Found out as well we could trade in the old Hero and get some money from that, we ended up with $17. However the Sprint employee did something and was able to give us $40 for the Hero so it covered the cost of the Optimus and a cover for it. In total all I paid was about $2.75. Messing a bit with the phone now and it's not that bad, it's definitely an improvement over the Hero. Plus since my brothers update is still in effect for November (we used my dad's upgrade to get the Optimus) he could get the EVO 3D or something by then. All in all this was pretty drat good, and a steal I think.

ThermoPhysical posted:How is the htc evo? I won't be able to get the nexus after all. My only choice it's the evo or lg optimus s. If those are your only choices get the EVO. It's nice, quick, easy to root, and has some nice roms as well. I mean the Optimus S is very nice as well, but if you have the option to get an EVO do it.

Is the Mango update out yet? I'll probably look for someone who wants to trade phones or something. A friend of mine had Sprint replace his EVO for an Arrive when he busted it. I'd go for that if I could.

So it looks like the USB on my EVO 4G is borked. I thought maybe it was the outlet or the cable that was messed up but I tried a couple outlets and even tried my friends charger. The phone just won't charge at all and it's dead now. Can I walk into a Sprint in the morning and get it replaced right there? I have the TEP and all that. I just really need a phone for this coming week.

nate fisher posted:Don't let them charge you for it. It happen to me last year and I had to pay $100 to replace it with TEP. It is my understanding now since it was such a big issue with the EVO that it should be free to replace/fix. That's what I wanted to hear. I'll fix it up early in the morning.

So Sprint wasn't able to give me a new EVO as soon as I needed but the lady there did say I could get a Nexus S by Monday as opposed to waiting a week or so for the EVO. I went for it Samsung and all. I hope I did the right thing. It didn't cost me anything so whatever. Edit: How's the S anyways? It looks alright to me but how's the rooting and all that for it?

After like a week with that Nexus all it makes me want is my EVO back. I don't hate the phone but it's like missing an old friend, I need the EVO back somehow. EDIT: Sprint support is telling me the trade in for a Nexus is like $115. I don't want to pay $300 for the remainder of the EVO. It's not gonna happen. Oh well.

nate fisher posted:Just curious what are missing from the EVO? A working Youtube app  Honestly I really miss the size (and screen) of the EVO. Plus I'm sure the Nexus doesn't pick up on stuff when I tap the screen as good as the EVO did. I'm not pissed off that I got a Nexus or anything it's a good phone in its own right but if given the option to go back to the EVO I would. (I would have got the EVO as a refurb if I could get it as soon as I needed. Last week I needed a phone real bad, this week I don't.)

So my brother's $150 upgrade is coming up on 10/1. Wasn't there a way he could get it pushed up a little earlier? I remember doing it for mine (thanks again Duckman) and I wanted to see if we could get his in time for when his financial aid and our trip back down to Miami happens this weekend. He wants to move from the Optimus S to the EVO 3D so if I could help him out and get his phone earlier he'd love it. (I'd also be jealous as all hell since I can't get an EVO 3D, but whatever)

Sprint is getting the iPhone. Now everyone can shut up about it I guess EDIT: http://thisismynext.com/2011/10/04/sprint-iphone-4s-announced-available-october-14/ quote:As expected, Apple has added one more major US carrier to its iPhone lineup: Sprint. The Sprint iPhone 4S marks the beginning of the company’s “multibillion dollar gamble” to sell at least eight million iPhones a year and save itself from the downward slide that arguably began with the Nextel merger.

ninmeister posted:At what point do they start talking to me about getting either a new one instead of a refurb, or a different comparable phone model (if ever, do they do that)? When my EVO broke they gave me the option of getting a Nexus S instead. I only had it for a week cause I couldn't stand it. I traded with Duckman and got an EVO back. The only thing I miss is that I don't have a white EVO anymore and I really liked it.

Alright so it looks like the charge port in this EVO 4G is getting busted again. If I plug the charger in the phone recognizes the charger and starts to charge but as soon as I put the phone down the phone stops charging. If I use some force and push the charger in the port as much as I can the charge sticks sometimes. Heck if I hold the phone upside down the charge sticks. Do I have a chance to get this replaced at the Sprint store without having to pay? They covered my last EVO when the port died, but in this case I dunno.

So I took it in to the store today and when the repair lady plugged it in to check the charge, it worked just fine. Looks like it's my charger being finicky or something and not the port itself?

Does Sprint replace the back casing of an E4G if it's a little busted? Mine doesn't click all the way in and it's a little annoying. I know I could find the clip on Amazon for $4 or so but I'm just curious.
