No, $150 means "full" so if the phone is $599 with $300 instant credit and $100 MIR the phone comes to $199, that's what you will pay (after the MIR).
[EVO 4G General] djdisturbed:
you get it for the same price as new customers (they just call it a $150 upgrade) BUT there might be a mail in rebate (unless you go through a place that does not do the rebates like best buy, they just charge you the price w/ that rebate already taken off)
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Why would it be 600+ you should get contract price. Hopefully it should be no more than 250 contract price.
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
OHH crap.. I'm a retard, sorry guys. I didn't realize I would still get the new contract price.

I promise I'm not a total dumbass.. just partially.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Dirty, so are you saying that those of us who qualified for the annual upgrade prior to the change in terms just need to call in when that upgrade qualification would of normally taken place under the old terms?

As of right now, my next effective upgrade eligibility date is 12/1/2011. Come 4/1, that changes to 10/1/2012. On 12/1/2011, I should call in and request my eligibility date be reset? Or should this be done sooner? If I need to bump the plan up 3 months, I will, but I need to plan ahead :)
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You would have to call 12/2011 and ask if they can honor it one last time. You can also call 3 months prior and ask them to notate the acct that it will be reset, if it's notated it will be honored.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
Can you p.m. me your girls info?

I called and the girl I spoke to said I wouldn't be affected by this. I'm just.confused about what even is going to change. I'm the primary line.
[EVO 4G General] fullthrottleenergy:
You keep mentioning to call them and reset the upgrade once it's taken away in April but why would Sprint reset it after they just took it away. Makes no sense.

And if people do threaten to leave sprint they'll still have to pay the ETF as they're in a 2 yr contract (or most of them are) so I don't see why they would reset them.

For people who bought the Evo last June and don't have an $89.99 or $169.99 plan they'll now have to wait until April 2012 to get the full $150 upgrade. Why would sprint reset the upgrade back to June 2011?

For people who bought the Evo last June and DO have the $89.99 or $169.99 plan they'll still get the full upgrade in June so nothing changes for them.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I won't get into this debate. Take it or leave it.
[EVO 4G General] fullthrottleenergy:
Debate? I was just asking from Sprints perspective why they would do that.

I'll try my luck on my brothers account come June. Let's hope they reset it.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Same reason I reset at LEAST 5 accounts per day? Sprint is not in the business of losing customers. We reset your upgrade, you buy a new phone, sign a new contract and pay Sprint more money.
[EVO 4G General] ausch30:
I'll certainly be calling. I just found out recently that as of September I'll have been with Sprint for 10 years and be eligible for yearly upgrades. If the EVO 3D is released before then, I'll definitely be calling and try to get that date moved up a couple months.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
So if I signed up with sprint last June, and am on a 69 plan, then I'm basically out of luck on any upgrades in time for the Evo 3d? That's the consensus here? I better start saving up...

Here... This faq has almost all the answers to questions many people are asking:

http://premier.sprint.com/premierupdate/faq.html
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
im not sure whats going on in this thread? im sitting on a yearly premier upgrade from november. i will be in the silver category come april 1st. i was told ill loose that upgrade if i do not use it now. so unless that nexus s is released this month ill have to upgrade to another phone and either return it or sell the damn thing and pay full price for the nexus.

this was confirmed last night when i spoke to two agents with sprint.

any word or rumors on a nexus release date? i know the evo3d will probably be in june.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Thanks shrooms for posting valuable info for everyone, I appreciate it, everyone read the thread! If your going to lose your upgrade call when new phone comes out, have them reset so you can sign another contract...if you bought your phone outright...well your not in a contract, don't worry about it you will get it for the subsidized price advertised, the reason I made this thread was to stop all the questions, obviously there's a lot, and once again thanks shrooms, for clarifying my personal agents Wordd and helping the fellow community out once again, appreciate it

[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
so if my upgrade shows on the text thats what it will stay at?

I Text upgrade and got a reply that im upgrade ready as of june 1st.
[EVO 4G General] k2buckley:
My upgrade also says june 1, 2011. But, if I understand Shrooms correctly, then once April 1st arrives, that will change to june 1st 2012, unless you're able to get the upgrade reset.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
If you already have it, it won't get removed, only he people that are set to get it after April first will have it removed unless they move to new qualifying plans

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Its every 22 months so may 2012 and yes.

[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
why does mine say june 1st as well? opened my line on the 29th of june. (texting upgrade to 1311)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
then why did sprint tell me it would be? take in account this upgrade is my yearly premier one.
[EVO 4G General] dec3ption:
This isn't true. If you're between 12 and 21 months, you will lose your $150 upgrade and get it back when you hit 22 months. :(
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i know it. im on the phone with sprint right now. this is a bunch of crap. i want to use it on the nexus, not some phone i do not want per say.
[EVO 4G General] Kerflop:
It says that I am eligable for $75 Upgrade on 7/01/11 or $150 Upgrade on 5/01/12... Would I need to get a reset? I am a little confused on this thread...

Thanks for the help...
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
yup its confirmed once again. if your sitting on a premier 1 year upgrade it's gone next week if your a silver customer. what a bunch of bull****. i want the nexus s not some other phone they currently carry. i mean i already have the evo, it's the best phone currently. ;)

anyways the guy told me just buy another phone, like the wp7 arrive, then return it within my 30 days if the nexus drops within that. or sell the wp7 and then i can get the phone i want. the reason i say that is, i tried to use radio shack online to upgrade but they require you to keep your new phone active for 6 months or your charged... heavily. screw that!

i change phones very often. so now i got some thinking to do, i hate upgrading through sprint because they never waive the mail in rebate. only radio shack and best buy do. anybody know best buys policy on how long the phone must be active?

if anything this new policy change will really hurt sales of the nexus & evo3d.
[EVO 4G General] antjc80:
If you push the issue to further levels of customer service you can keep your upgrade. My full upgrade was eligible on 1/1/11. I called and talked to a csr and they said I would lose it....same thing on 3 separate chat sessions.... I then sent an email to customer service complaining that this was a bait and switch and I have been a great customer for 7 years - received an email the next day telling me I would keep my upgrade and to keep the email as proof that they would honor it.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Might have to look into the best buy deal, I got my service started at best buy and bought the epic so maybe I will go back there.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
what phone you gonna get? right now the only two i like are the wp7 & the epic. the rest are **** IMO. ;)

anyways i wouldn't mind toying with the wp7 and keeping my evo and only using it with wifi. im sure i can bank on selling both the phones when the nexus drops.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Its kind of a debate, I wont get an epic though. I had one and hated it. So either the shift or the arrive for me. I think the shift will be easier to resale though.

Shift is getting 2ghz overclock by some, 3000+ quadrant score ;)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i do know the wp7 arrive is getting great reviews. it seems like a solid phone. would be a welcome change for me as i would not have too worry about flashing or customizing soo much. i just have to talk my wife into letting me get it.

downside is the arrive and the shift are very small compared to the evo. i agree about the epic as i owned one for a week. if sprint had the hd7 i would hop on that.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
I'm looking for a "no money out of pocket" deal. Through best buy you can get the shift and only have to pay 12 dollars sales tax. If you get the arrive you have to put an extra 50 plus sales tax along with the upgrade discount.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
if this is an upgrade for you then the arrive is $199 and the shift is $149. i already looked into it tonight. you must be looking at new customer activations, not upgrades.
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
The shift is 149 with either a new agreement or a qualifying upgrade. The arrive is 199 with new agreement or qualifying upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] dec3ption:
I think I'm going to take a risk and hope that when the EVO3D comes out I can call sprint and get my upgrade back :eek:
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
right that's what it will cost you plus tax after your upgrade is applied. you said you did not want to spend anything out of pocket. im afraid you will have too. or did i misunderstand you?
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
good luck with that. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] dec3ption:
I'm just going to hope for the best...worst case I'll have an upgrade in October so I'm not too worried about it
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Maybe I am mistaken then. If the phone is 150 with a qualifying upgrade and you have a upgrade @ 150 then my logic would be that there would be no out of pocket money. Dunno I've never had an upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
lol no... the shift is over a $300 phone. the arrive is over $400. best buy applies your $150 towards that and the $100 instant mail in rebate. you still have to pay the difference.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
sorry you guys arent in the sdame boat as me, get yourself agents! it helps big time, im safe as can be, evo 3d is in the bag yesssirrrrrr

Upgrade for 626-xxx-xxxx

10/01/11 save $150 w/2yr $75/1yr.

Does it mean I have to wait another 22 months to upgrad my phone? That might be in 2013? When the 6D phone comes out?

Thanks in advanced.

I know there have been many posts on disabling haptic feedback, but I was wondering if there is any app or method out there to modify the intensity. I like the feedback but its just a bit too much for me. I've been searching but haven't found anything yet. FYI rooted and deodexed. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] live4nyy:
If you're wanting to adjust it for the keyboard there is a GB keyboard in the market that if you buy the paid version it has a setting for adjusting the intensity

For some reason my ringtone plays when someone sends me a text.

Never had this happen before.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] Fergusonfox7:
Hey guys! I just thought that I would let you in on my experience with the 2150 mah extended battery by verizon. I am still in school and I get pretty terrible service throughout the building. time without signal ends up to be at 60 % I wake up at 6 get up take A shower... Unplugged by 7 play some games... Listen to music almost all day. Send 100 ish texts. when I get home at 225 its still at 75 % I get 2 days out of it with hard usage. I use ultimate juice and have 3g on all day.

- Austin.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nrvous1:
I'm hoping that my 2150 will come to life in the next few days. As of yesterday with moderate usage I ended up plugging my phone in at about 10:30 and that was because the battery was at 27%. I unplugged it at 6am yest and played a couple of YouTube videos, made a few calls(the longest being 23mins), sent hundreds of text messages and a few emails. I didn't do any gaming and had wifi, gps turned off and the brightness at about 1/2 way. With these setting and usage, I should be able to get 2 days or atleast a day and a half of battery life. As of right now I unplugged my phone at 6:17am and made a 7min phone call and I'm sitting at 87%. I turned the screen brightness down to 0 to see if that help, but I shouldn't have to turn everything off and screen brightness to 0 from what I've read. If this batt doesnt improve in the next few days, I'm gonna go with a cheap 3500 from eBay.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nrvous1:
Update: well, my 2150 is running much better after two charge/discharge cycles. I unplugged my phone today at 6:00am after bump charging it and as of 8:11pm its at 71%. Nice! That's leaving the screen brightness on at 50% and playing games for a total of 30mins plus a few phone calls and my normal texting throughout the day. I'm happy with the battery so far.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nrvous1:
Thought I'd give an update on my vzm 2150 battery.

It's by far out lasting the stock battery and it seems to be getting better with every charge. Yesterday I made several phone calls, sent about 500 text messages, made several online purchases, played angry birds and a few other games for a total of one hour, browsed online for a while, streamed fm radio and Pandora for a total of 30 mins and have the screen brightness set to 50%. When I got home that night at 11:30 I was at 27% battery life left and that was unplugging my phone at 6:00 am. So far this batter is awesome.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
Thanks for the info!

I've been pricing one out & may buy one this weekend.

Hey Fergusonfox7 in a day I blow through my Evo & 3 1300 mAh batteries, permission to post my results (don't want to thread jack)?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Fergusonfox7:
Just complain.... that's what I did! Got the extended for free!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Fergusonfox7:
Oh sure man. Post away :)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Trifurcated:
I recently got this battery here's my experience

Firstly, I did get mine for free from verizon. Tip (tell the rep about how your phone dies quick then the phone's led blinks amber when you plug it in.) Secondly, I am running CM7 latest nightlies with the governor set to performance, overclocked, screen brightness is auto, wifi off 90% of the time, bluetooth and gps on 100%.

Here is my usage on a typical work day

I use pandora probably for at least 3 hours a day with bluetooth connected (keep in mind that I use the high quality music setting and turn off the auto screen lock so the screen is on that whole time. I will typically need to use gps for about 15-30 minutes. I'm not a txter at work so minimal txt usage, I will make 3 or 4 phone calls. I will also browse the web for about 30 minutes.

With this usage I get a solid 8 hours out of this battery so most of the time my phone is dying or dies on the car ride home. (I do have a charger but after a day of work sometimes it's nice to let my phone die) If I have a day full of appointments however I will have plenty of battery life left. I almost never put my phone on the charger until its dead and the first few cycles I really drained the battery to the point that it wouldn't turn on and would charge it all night powered off.

Overall I recommend it. I don't know how I lived without it. I hope this long winded reply is helpful to someone. Enjoy!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nrvous1:
Another update on my vzm 2150. As of last week my battery started draining faster than normal and then started dying within 5-6 hours of minimal usage. So I called customer care and they noted my account and advised me to go back into the vzm store I purchased the battery from and ask for an exchange. I'm on my new battery now and it is lasting much longer than the defective 2150 I previously had in my phone.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tsupersonic:
On a typical work day, I usually get 12-16 hours with this extended battery - this is with music playback (winamp or stock music player) for 3-4 hours, browsing for about 3-4 hours, texting all day, 2-3 phone calls, autosync exchange + 2 gmail accounts.

On weekends, I turn off autosync, I can get by 2 days with the same usage.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Tired of the Bull:
I have no answers but I think apps are a real problem with the battery. I have the 2150 and I've had days that it died before the end of a single day and then I've also went three days before needing to plug it in. My usage is pretty consistent so a rogue app (widget) is my best guess. I've had good results since killing the WeatherBug Widget.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] o0 DIDDY 0o:
A little off topic, How much thicker is the battery cover than the stock battey cover? I am looking into getting this myself but I dont want to give up my protective case.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] TheAtheistReverend:
+1

Thinking of picking up a used inc off CL since my Eris has trackball issues again and I want to know what I am getting into.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nrvous1:
Its about double the thickness where the first "bump" of the stock back cover raises up. I used my 2150 for about a week before giving it to my wife. I really liked the performance of the 2150, but I could not get used to the extra thickness or the look of the phone. I am going to be getting the htc 1500 batt and use the stocker as a backup.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] omgitswes:
Loving this thing so far. Extra bulkiness took a little time to get used to, but other than that the performance is great. Don't even need to use my car charger anymore, which crapped out on me anyway.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] oletheos:
i have a 1750 extended battery in mine and most days i can make it thru work on a light load, but i have a cord that i just leave at work so i leave it plugged in all the time. im looking to going back to stock though cause of some recent over heat issues.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] POQbum:
I know it sounds crazy, but I do like the extra bulkiness. It's easier for me to hold onto it and just feels better in my hand. It doesn't weigh down my shorts and doesn't feel too heavy.

The only thing I don't like is how ugly the back looks (really not that bad), but it's easily fixed with a snazzy case from here:

http://htcpedia.com/news/case-cover-htc-droid-incredible-extended-batteryc.html

I'd suggest other places but that's the only store I've seen that sells cases that'll fit the OEM 2150 battery.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ChuckFarley:
Wow, just saw someone's phone with the 2150 in it and the extra bulkyness is a deal breaker for me. I heard the 1750 fits pretty close to stock, and I have a jelly case around it, so I probably wouldn't notice some of the reports of gaps in the case; BUT I haven't heard any real great gains from the 1750. I might just pick up a cheap one from amazon, and if it doesn't work so great I'll only be out a couple bucks.

I wish there was as much focus on creating a battery that would last a week, as there is on making the next processor.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Fergusonfox7:
I love the bulykness...... :)
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nrvous1:
Well, went back to my 2150 and I love how I'm not stuck to a charger for the day. I hated the feeling of,"oh no! Where is there an outlet so I can plug my phone in?!!!!" The performance is worth the added bulk.
