Jensen posted:The funny thing about the Samsung GPS issue is that you always get all these people, in this thread and others on the internet, claiming that their GPS is fine and everyone else must just have a defective unit. The GPS issues on the Samsung phones are a combination of hardware and software problems. Some units work fine while others are terrible; however, if you install a custom ROM with a better-working modem the GPS will improve, assuming your GPS chip isn't busted. I had a poor GPS experience with my Captivate until I flashed CM7 with the JK4 modem, and now it just works with little or no issues.

Jelly Omelettle posted:I'm looking into upgrading my phone and was wondering if there's any significant differences between the Galaxy S 4 and 5? Is 5 much better the the 4? There didn't seem to be a whole lot of difference other then size. In terms of user experience it's probably about the same. Hardware-wise aside from the CPU/GPU bump the S5 has a dual-LED camera flash (like the iPhone 5S) so if you're a huge nerd about pictures that might be something to consider. Also there's a fingerprint scanner if you like that gimmick. Have you considered other options or are you pretty much set on a Galaxy phone? There will be new releases from Apple (bigger screen iPhone 6) and Motorola (Moto X+1) in a couple weeks so keep an eye on that unless you are in desperate need of an upgrade right this second.

iluvpr0n posted:Interesting. I'd used GV for years with my regular Sprint number, but finally ditched it several months back when I discovered that's why I was never able to send/receive emojis to iPhone people through any SMS app on my Android phone. Yeah, that's a pretty stupid, unimportant reason, but I text poop emojis a lot more than I get voicemails, so it was worth switching out and sticking with stock voicemail. I wonder if that will fix this issue now? You know you can use GV for voicemail without using it as your texting number, right?

Grumpwagon posted:I'm sure the reason they didn't get the 2014 is because Moto didn't want to make it tri-band, not because Sprint just decided not to carry it. The thing is, Moto had a tri-band CDMA/LTE version of the 2014 model that everyone thought was for Sprint. It passed FCC cert and was seemingly going on sale and then Sprint announced via twitter that they wouldn't sell it.

boxen posted:I moved from Sprint to T-mobile about a month ago. Sprint sent my my normal monthly bill a day or so after that, with a due date of the 1st of the month, also normal. I didn't pay it, because I thought I cancelled all my accounts, and when I got a payment reminder at the end of August I called customer finance to get my account cancelled, but the rep couldn't access my account (I couldn't remember my PIN, and my security question answer didn't work for some reason). I tried to update both the PIN and the question on my online sprint account, but all it would give me was errors. Did you look at the bill to determine the service period for which they were charging you? It's very likely that the final bill was for the time before you cancelled.

Kreeblah posted:Well, that'll be neat for another couple days or so until the EMV liability shift kicks in. This doesn't actually mean what you think it means. The liability shift just sticks the merchant with the bill if someone swipes a chip-enabled card for fraudulent purposes. It doesn't require anyone to buy a new card reader. It doesn't mean that the existing card readers will magically stop working. All (or most) of the new EMV compliant card readers will still support magnetic swipe cards.

Kreeblah posted:I know exactly what it means, but we're already seeing EMV cards be more commonly issued, and as soon as merchants (who are still generally unaware of the change) start getting stuck with fraud liability, I expect we'll be seeing a lot more EMV-capable readers around. And if you try to do a magnetic stripe transaction with an EMV-capable reader and an EMV-capable card, it'll tell you to use the EMV slot, meaning that things that try to clone your magnetic stripe data aren't going to work on those. This is the same reason why products like Coin are going to have more and more issues as time goes on. Can Samsung Pay fool the card swipe reader into thinking that it's not using an EMV token?

http://newsroom.sprint.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=12286 They're doing the same "optimization" thing that T-mobile already does. I don't see an indication that they'll offer an option to pay more to turn this feature off. It would apply to all streaming video, gaming, and music.

I tend not to trust anything that store reps say because they're just looking for a way to get their commission. Seems to me that your best bet is to call employee support and beg them to put her back on. At the very least she could get on the $60 unlimited freedom plan even though she'd have to suffer through optimized video streaming (but it sounds like that isn't an issue anyway given her low usage).

e.pilot posted:I was able to activate my 7+ on an employee plan no problem via the web chat a couple of weeks ago. Right but was that SERO 500? Real answer is to call and act like you will terminate service, then see if the retentions department can activate it for you. Either Sprint wants your business or it doesn't; let them figure out how badly.

T-mobile's $70 unlimited plan is actually $70 because the taxes and fees are included. Sprint's $65 unlimited plan would end up closer to $80, but you can subtract $5 if you have an auto-pay discount and another $5 if you have AAA or some other employer discount.
