gariig posted:Insurance question. My wife was played Geared last night, the game had the phone vibrate, and the screen cracked into a spider web like shape. I went to the local Sprint Repair Center and they told me that it would only be covered by Asurion (I have TEP) and that it'd be $100. Which is some BS because I'm assuming the deductible is for dropping it, running it over, hitting it with a hammer, etc. Is there any way around or do I just suck it up and pay? Call them up and tell them you want to do an ESN change on the number. It'll take 5 minutes. Or I think you can even do it online from your account.

I'll be going to Radio Shack or Best Buy if the Sprint store has a mail in rebate. But I'll be getting a Evo3d launch day regardless.

Ok so I just realized that Google Voice does not have an empty all button for the trash so if you've been using it as long as I have be prepared to click about a thousand times to clean out your trash folder.

porksmash posted:Has anyone tried to activate a Verizon phone on a Sprint plan? I understand that the two companies' 4G stuff operates on different frequencies but I was unable to find anything that said EVDO was different between the two. I just bought an HTC Incredible (Verizon) to muck around with. I was planning to use wifi only, but it would be nice if I could get internet everywhere. At least until the EVO 3D comes out! You won't be able to because the ESN isn't in Sprints database and they won't activate it. You could take it to cricket though. Thats where most stolen phones end up.

ninmeister posted:Does Sprint still do the manufacturer warranty repair work in store for a 35 dollar fee thing? It looks like the earpiece speaker on my Evo is blown out which seemed to happen out of the loving blue two days ago (higher pitched sounds make a horrible buzzing noise). They fixed mine for 35 bucks and I have no insurance. While they were fixing it they noticed that the frame was slightly bent. Sledding accident shhh. So they replaced the phone for free and I only had to pay that 35 bucks.

WoG posted:Not a sprint employee, but in general, I don't believe cell companies will port out numbers from accounts with delinquent balances.

WoG posted:Well, you're looking at pretty comparable hardware, assuming the rumored 4s specs are true. Higher res screen, better 2d camera, and slimmer, nicer design for the the iphone vs 3d, microsd, larger screen*, and faster proc** on the evo. If I'm missing something key, and your point isn't really just, "why anyone would go with ios over android is beyond me," let me know. You're going to pay that 10 dollars regardless of 4g or not. It's added on to all smartphones nowadays.

To find out if you're eligible for an upgrade text the word upgrade to the # 1311. Duckman you should add that to the OP.

Getting an Evo3D on launch date and thats what I had planned on selling mine for.

Well I'm on my second Evo 3d. This afternoon my phone rebooted itself out of the blue and then it went to the Sprint screen for a few seconds then the screen went black and the menu keys were lit up. I pulled the battery and it did the same thing over and over. I took it back to radio shack and they gave me a brand new one no questions asked. The good thing is I got a twenty five dollar refund because I bought it in Vegas and the tax was 44 dollars and here in Phoenix where I returned it, it was only 19 dollars.

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? The problem is the reviewers basically pull a brand new unit out of the box and give it a go from 100%. The thing about Android handsets and I think most handsets in general is that they require a week or so of break in time so the phone can adjust to the discharge and recharge rates of the battery. I've had mine since launch day and the first couple days it drained pretty fast. Now that it's been a while since it's release my battery life is substantially better than that of my Evo 4g. So much so that I'm pulling it out of my pocket going holy poo poo because I'm used to the not so good battery life on the Evo 4g.

Ditto on the great battery life. I checked mine last night and it had been off the charger for 9 hours and I had 60% left. And thats after talking multiple times on the phone, texting a crap load, my kid playing the spiderman game. There really is no comparison between the Evo and the Evo 3d. The Evo 3d hands down has so much more battery life than my old Evo it's not even funny.

visuvius posted:I've got a 3D and I've started experiencing the random loss of power, where the only thing that will fix it is a pull of the battery. According to you guys Sprint will swap the phone out happily, except, I got mine on Craigslist from some dude who won it in a Sprint Gold Customer raffle or some such thing. It was legit, brand new in box but I'm worried they'll give me poo poo when I go in with my issue. Any suggestions? Doesn't matter. The phone has a warranty and sprint will replace it no questions asked.

visuvius posted:Well, I went in to my local store and the guy said because I didn't purchase it from Sprint, I would have to send the phone to HTC. Bummer. He told me I could try swinging by the other store nearby which has a repair center to see what they say but I imagine I'll get the same response. gently caress that sucks. I'm not even sure how the gently caress dealing with HTC would work, I'm not sure if I can be without my phone for the 2 or more weeks it would probably take. Oh crap. I thought you were taking it to a repair center. Anyime I've taken a phone there they take it in the back and come out 5 minutes later and tell me they'll replace it. i might have to pay 20 or 30 bucks but I get a new phone out of it. I never get insurance on phones because they come with year warranties and I don't drop phones in water so if something goes wrong it's not going to be my fault. They always have replaced them for me. i had about 4 palm pre's and 3 Evo 4g's and 1 Evo 3d replaced all a little or no cost.

bewbies posted:Mercifully I'm getting rid of tmobile and this awful Motorola Cliq, after a lot of shopping I decided to go with Sprint and the Photon. The store gave me 15% off my bill because I'm a "contractor" (I'm a DoD nerd) which was cool, and the phone was amazing. I liked it more than the 3D one, what do people think of the two? Did I make the right choice? The screen on the 3d has been pretty much been given universal praise over the Photon. The Processor on the 3d is faster by a smidge. Sense Vs. Blur comes down to preference but I've heard more people say good things about Sense than I have blur. Both phones are great though and you can't go wrong with either one.

I've been looking at the Evo 4G, but the reviews on site have about half of the people saying the battery is miserable. Do you guys have any opinion's re: Evo 4G's battery? Why would you not get the Evo 3d over the Evo 4g? The Evo 3D is a superior phone in each and every way especially the battery life.

I really side with HTC on this one. They're giving you the option of doing it. It's not mandatory. People who don't like it are the same types of people who put a turbo on a stock motor, blow the motor, then take it back to the dealership and try to say the engine blew, it should be covered under the warranty.
