Since you've never had a smartphone, get the Optimus. It's pretty much the best you can do for baby's first smartphone. The EVO is awesome (I guess the shift probably is too) but since you don't have anything to compare to, you shouldn't have any problems with the Optimus except maybe some typing difficulty with the smallish screen.

Skeezy posted: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? If there's no mail-in rebate, then yes. If there is a rebate, then maybe. Buy it, immediately put it on his line and don't put it on any other lines until you get your rebate check. They don't have to give you the rebate if it's not put on the upgraded line but they usually do.

TLG James posted:Maybe people don't like phones that take up their entire pocket and look like a loving brick is in there? The EVO is half an inch thick. You can barely even notice it in your pocket unless you have tight, tiny pockets. Anyway, apparently Kalamazoo, MI (specifically around Western Michigan University) has had 4g for almost a month and I'm just now finding out about it. Unfortunately I'm about five miles away in Portage and I can't seem to get anything.

I don't know if the WiMax tower is actually on campus but if it is it's probably on Sprau Tower. Try somewhere over by the library. Of course if you can't even get it outside of Wood, then I doubt it'll ever be strong enough to get into Portage.

Maybe the camera button will be useful but god is it distracting and ugly compared to the rest of the device. It sticks out too far and the chrome stands out against the sleek black design. Has it been confirmed whether or not the Evo 3D has a notification/Charging LED or not?

If it is a clock that displays all night, wouldn't it make more sense to just go buy a $10 alarm clock and not limit your smartphone decision to a tiny feature that you only use while you're sleeping?

DrBouvenstein posted:drat it, still can't get full GV integration. I can get it to do my voicemail like regular GV, but it still says I'm ineligible for full Sprint + GV integration...guess I'll have to cal Sprint or something. Wouldn't you have to call Google and not Sprint? Does it actually say ineligible somewhere? Mine doesn't seem to reference the integration anywhere whatsoever. I too am getting upset that it hasn't rolled out to me.

CharlesM posted:Do you have to do anything with the handset to enable it? Is your question do you have to do something to be invited to the integration, or do you have to do something with the handset after the integration? If it's the latter, all you have to do is sign out of Google Voice and sign back in. Also tweak your settings how you want them.

His line is available for an upgrade, but he's totally not sold on anything but the EVO3D or the next gen Galaxy II device as a real upgrade, and those seem too far out. Has anyone here swapped a screen on one instead of letting a cell repair place do it? The local places want $120 which is a little high in my opinion.

Hopefully after a little while they'll start selling on ebay for $250-$300 so I can sell my EVO and snag one. $499 unsub'd is a little too rich for my blood.

Aside from "Samsung", is there anything that makes the upcoming SGS2/Within a worse choice than the Evo 3D? I like how thin the SGS2 is and I love the screen but being a Samsung product, I'm naturally afraid of it.

Changes to the primary line take a billing cycle to change, or at least they did back when I changed the primary line on my account 2 years ago. Well then I wish I'd thought of this a month ago. Oh well, I should probably wait to see how the Within does before buying a new phone anyway. edit: especially considering supposedly Samsung gave an SGS2 to a CM dev.

Man, I liked it better when Sprint CS was inept. I couldn't get them to budge on giving me an upgrade credit (that I'm techincally not eligible for anyway). Why oh why did I jump the gun and buy my EVO on release day with my wife's upgrade instead of waiting until August 1st and buying it with my own  edit: oh right because I was using a Touch Pro2.

Will I be able to activate the evo 3d on my line then give her my evo 4g to activate on hers? Be careful. If her account doesn't currently have the $10 smartphone fee, using her upgrade will probably trigger it. Edit: oh if you're giving her an EVO, then it doesn't matter anyway.

As of this morning, Google Voice will not send text messages to my SMS app. I can receive them in the GV still, but no matter what settings I change, I can't receive them in an SMS app, even stock. Oddly, I can still send messages with SMS apps, but only receive in GV. What are the exact settings I need to be able to get texts the normal way?

Speaking of the EVO 3D update, has anybody that's unrooted not received their update? My father's EVO never prompted him to update and trying to update manually doesn't find anything either. Is there a reliable place to download the update from? After that, is it just a matter of putting it on the root of the SD card and booting into recovery?

How is it that us EPRP (and SERO I guess) people are so looked down upon by Sprint that we can't even activate different phones on the Sprint website without being told that we need a plan change, even if it's from one Android phone to another (and already having the Smartphone fee)?

Sorry for the double post, but I find this very interesting. My EVO can no longer receive text messages or picture mail. I've tried it with CM7, a fresh install of Fresh, and a fresh install of rooted Stock, and it doesn't work on any of them. I've done a PRL update and Profile update a few times, and I installed the newest radios, but nothing has fixed it. I switched my account to a Samsung Moment I have laying around and texting works fine, which pretty much puts this solely on my phone and not on my service. Is it possible for something hardware-wise to keep messages from coming in? I can still receive them via Google Voice (I'm integrated but I've tried disabling it) but not the normal way. It is completely baffling me. I'm out of my warranty period and don't have TEP so if it's somehow a hardware issue I'd guess I'm SOL.
