No corporate discount here. Log into existing acct, add a line or upgrade. Select 1 or 2 yr pricing. It still shows 199.99 or 229.99... No joke here. For existing customers log in and pricing. New customers are 249.99, 319.99
[Thunderbolt General] Ddukes76:
Same price if u add a line too.... 199.99, 229.99
[Thunderbolt General] contractcooker:
I think this deal is only available to people who are still eligible for "new every two" upgrades.... I still am seeing 249.99 (new customer since january 27) please let me know if there is any way you believe I could get the additional 50 dollar discount.
[Thunderbolt General] biglipps66:
This is no good all Im getting is the 2yr option, doh!!!
[Thunderbolt General] Ddukes76:
Here I go again...

If any of you have any questions, PM me, I will walk you through through PM, or on the phone, as some of you think I'm full of it... I bought mine on a 1 year for 229.99. No discounts, no corporate crap. Been a customer since 2003. Not used on a new every 2 option.

Again...you have to be logged into your existing account, select upgrade or add another line, select 1 or 2 year pricing tier on drop down box of list of all phones offered...select TB, it will show 199.99, 229.99
[Thunderbolt General] biglipps66:
Even adding a new line to mine now still says 249 for 2yr and 319 for 1yr.. maybe its fixed
[Thunderbolt General] catalyst11:
I don't think this is true. I think it's for a Corp/Work discount. I upgraded for $229.99 w/1 year agreement on 2 different lines on my account. If it was for NE2 deal, only 1 line would be that pricing.
[Thunderbolt General] Ddukes76:
Confused...

I just logged back in...still says 199.99 229.99... want assistance, I'll give you my number in PM, and walk you through on the net...
[Thunderbolt General] Zerotwistknife7:
I bought it for 199.99 in store, it was my friend and I told him I could buy it online for the same amount but didn't want to wait and he honored it.
[Thunderbolt General] biglipps66:
Just called Vzw as well and spoke to them about it. Talked to 2 different people and both said theyre uncertain how youre getting the 199 229 setup. The differences in peoples accounts probably makes the difference im sure.

I might just try a vzw authorized retailer store and see what they come up with instead of the Vzw store itself.
[Thunderbolt General] Ddukes76:
??

Did you log in to ur acct, select shop tab, wireless, upgrade or add a line?

then select under filters 1 year contract pricing...then scroll to the TB and see what it gives you?
[Thunderbolt General] jaskru:
ahh... this thread hurts. just added a line and paid 249.99 logged in online.

I just checked your process and it still shows 249.99 on two year after toggling back and forth on years.
[Thunderbolt General] spac3m0nk3y:
I just tried it on my wife's line, she is due for an upgrade, and it showed $249/$319. We also have a corporate discount.
[Thunderbolt General] eakrish:
I just went on, I have been a customer for 3 days. Even I can add a line at the prices he is telling you all about. 199 and 229. Its not rocket science
[Thunderbolt General] polysaturate:
For now at least(on VZW's site), promo code TWENTY gives you an extra $20 off, thus bringing it down to Amazon price of $179.99

AND this allows you to perform the early upgrade(but short of the 20 month mark). As that the 12-20 month time frame can not upgrade through 3rd party retailers.
[Thunderbolt General] Haxcid:
It is 199 at amazon for 2yr New or Upgrade with Free 2 day shipping.

Thats for anyone (non corp. discount)

Bout time someone backed me up lol...and you are a brand new customer...

This process in this thread is becoming more of a headache trying to help the general public than probably what its worth... I'm just trying to help people out to take advantage of a slip-up on Verizon's part...

Willing to help if you ask...
[Thunderbolt General] eakrish:
yes, brand new customer
[Thunderbolt General] biglipps66:
It has to be the difference in accounts Im tellin ya hah. I dont even GET the 1yr option on my main line for the higher pricing.. on my 2nd line I get the 249 319 pricing. New line to account 249 319 pricing.

Best Buy told me they cant touch the line for less than retail until 8/11.

Amazon said I couldnt upgrade it either, but my 2nd line was available for 199.

Called a joe blow retailer store and waiting for them to call me back on pricing options as well for BOTH lines.
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
Not sure if this matters but I got my TB for $229 on a 1 year contract. New Verizon customer. Using my corporate discount.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
That's what I did. But I got two, one for my wife.

I figured in a year I can still sell it and use the money to buy whatever is the hot phone then.
[Thunderbolt General] Ddukes76:
good luck

Well I'm tellin ya...when you do it my way...before adding to cart in the filter section of the list of phones, it gives every phone option of 1 or 2 year contracts...

That being said... it will bring up 199, 229...

:-)
[Thunderbolt General] EgoDogg:
Just for the record, the prices I get are $219.99 with a 2 year contract, $249.99 with a 1 year contract. I, of course, got the 1 year on Thursday. So it's not the same for everyone. Wish mine was as low as all yours, though, but still beats the $320 I was willing to pay.
[Thunderbolt General] Philosophre:
Just checked cause I was curious. My upgrade is coming up on the 29th of March.

I logged in, went to add a new line and saw the options of 2yr for 199 or 1yr for 229. But I am using a hospital corporate discounted account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Okay, so I'm on 19 and I would like to upgrade to the latest cm7. Is it different than flashing like a new rom or what?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Nope, place on sdcard, and since you're upgrading, you can just flash, don't have to wipe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Should I nandroid? Or is that a silly question?

Sent from that one Guy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I'm still on 19 too, tried 21 & it gave me tons of problems. I just haven't got around to flashing anything else thanks to zero free time.

As long as you're just flashing another nightly, you can wipe cache & dalvik cache, then flash. No need to wipe data. I would, of course, do a backup first, but that's just my preference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well i would say yes, just in case you get problems.

I would implore you to go to the latest nightly-28. Just flashed it and no problems...I haven't had any problems since...a long time ago in a land far away...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Hmm I'm having a few issues but cm7 is an unstable rom so I understand. What you think about 23?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Holy crap 28 already?!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yup, 23...personally never had issues with GPS, but no issues at all here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Since you're coming from a ways back, I'd recommend flashing the 20110307 GApps to make sure you're updated.

So quick run-down:

1) Download the latest nightly, and the 20110307 GApps. Place both on your SD card.

2) Reboot into recovery, take a Nandroid backup.

3) Wipe cache and dalvik (just to be safe since there's been some kernel upgrades).

4) Flash the nightly, then the GApps.

5) Boot, and enjoy!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
I'm over here talking about 23 and you're all the way on 28 hahahah wow. I'm on 28 now too but damn cyanogen moves fast. I didn't see any significant changes so far. Maybe I need to pony up and flash a kernal.

Sent from that one Guy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
One step ahead of that lol but thanks. I need recommendations for a kernal.

Sent from that one Guy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea...27 and 28 came out today...I just flashed 26 yesterday. Also, I recommend the Tiamat kernel, if you do flash one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
So far the kernal is decent. The non SBC one gave me white screen every time but I was able to get to recovery and use SBC one. Cool thing I downloaded both at the same time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Ah, well not all kernels play nicely, but glad you got to use it. Though do be aware of the sbc usage effects.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Oh, yes I heard about the whole setting on fire ordeal. It had me worried before but not now. I had left my phone at the house yesterday while I went to work. I was hoping it wouldn't set my pillow on fire but as long as it's 5 hours or less I'm good.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well it won't happen immediately, just it poses long term damage.

i've noticed in a lot of homescreen shots that some of them have the notification area hidden. i haven't been able to find out how to accomplish this. any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
This is usually done through a home replacement, like ADW or Launcherpro. There's an option in settings. With ADW & ADW Ex, you can set your swipe up or down gesture to show/hide the notifications. In LauncherPro you can make a gesture on a dock icon to do the same.
[General Questions and Answers] jon_yarbrough:
awesome! thanks (i hit your thanks button). i found it after your direction in the preference section in launcherpro.
[General Questions and Answers] plainjane:
No problem. Put a shortcut to it via gesture on one of your dock icons so you can toggle it or expand the notifications when you need to so you don't miss anything.

Glad I could help :)

Just made a nice quick little userbar for your signature on XDA and any other forums if anyone wants to use it :)

Just copy and paste this code into your User CP > Edit Signature panel and hit save. Make sure you remove the two words 'delete'. It will then display like the one in my signature below.

[HTC Inspire 4G] aussie65:
Has anyone had issues when you leave the coverage area going into a partner area that the Inspire did not auto select a provider? I was out traveling and this happened to me, tried everything but failed, when I moved my sim to my old captivate it lit up with no issues but on the Inspire if you notice on the network sub selection it's grey'd out to where you would tell the phone to auto select, AT&T tech's are telling me that this is a known issue with this phone, but when I call HTC they said it was the first they heard..

anyone else having this problem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] loldevil:
Hello there!

I have a HTC Trophy.. and I can connect wireless in many places, but in the office doesn't connect: your phone couldn't reach the WiFi network..

The office's network uses Cisco LEAP authentication, and my user/pass works on iphone/android.

Is there some app to setup this kind of connection?!

Thank You.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dwquick300:
My company also uses Cisco LEAP for wireless security. We are able to get blackberries, iphones and android w/ a 3rd party app to connect. I know wp7 support is still young.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spacebob11:
So I've noticed that since the backplate of the Atrix is all plastic, it gets pretty slippery and wants to fall out of my hands a lot. Are there any rubberized backplate replacements for the Atrix? I'm looking for something similar to the texture of the back of the Droid 2. I really don't like cases because I feel that they add so much girth to the phone. I'm also open to any DIY solutions as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
I know someone used some type of rubber spray paint or something to give it a textured rubber feel. I'll try to dig up a link.

Bingo!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I saw that Bell in Canada will be carrying spare backs and also some 3rd party rubberized backs. you might want to look there first.

Hi All, I've tried the new CM but it was too unstable for me, however, I would love to be able to install the keyboard that comes with it on my stock nexus-s...

Is that possible?

can somebody post the apk (or an update.zip with the relevant apk and libraries)?

Thank you!

[EVO 4G General] Lrod0175:
I had what could be called a flashing rom syndrome, everyday was a hustle to flash something new sense or asop, whatever, and then I found the latest installment of Vaelek rom, Vaelpak 3.2 Rc1 nonsense. I have to say this rom has taken the need for me to flash a rom for a whole week now, lol, literally, a whole week! Now this Vaelek guy brings a whole bunch of goodies to the table with his new version of this great rom, among some of them are and not limited to:

The vealek.com website, just like other ROMs but with style, with a fast response to any issues that may arise, if any.

The VP forum app

The Vaelpak settings, these settings are one of the things I like the most, because right from there u can flash Kernels, themes or theme builder as it’s called, where u can mix and match icons and animations at your discretion, mods and patches, device settings, task and news and updates.

This rom also has a mix of sense and asop apps for u to choose from, the performance of this rom is excellent and battery life is way better than the usual (at least for me with nets 4.3.4 cfs more, setcpu 128-245 when screen is off) it last 16 to 22 hours depending on usage.

In closing this is one of the best ROMs sense and nonsense out there right now, with Vaelek leading the way to a total new experience in terms of stability and options build right in the rom’s settings, 5 stars from me. Give it a try!

Here is a review from Goodandevo:

This is the 3rd rom that I have flashed in the last 2 months. I can't recall what the first one was, but I came from Myn's RS5 prior to using 3.2 remastered. I've been using 3.2 for roughly 2 weeks and love it. Yeah I've had a few problems here and there, but most of it I think is on my part. I also found in order to get it to work right on my Evo I had to wipe everything twice. Not sure why, but it worked. The only other issue I have ran into is that clockwork recovery 3.x doesn't work right. Had problems flashing new roms because of it, went back to 2.6.0.x and worked flawless. Haven't settled on which rom I will be using yet. The stock rom works great, net 4.3.4 CFS NOHAVS NOSBC works ok. Just flashed net 4.3.4 cfs havs more sbc, gonna give it a shot
[EVO 4G General] housry23:
Vaelpak is a Sense Rom. It is based on the stock 3.70.xxx.x HTC Rom. The title says nonsense because he has taken out almost all the Sense stuff and replaced with AOSP. I tried it a while back and went back to CM7, but with all this new praise for it I may have to give it another try.
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I agree with everyone here, Vaelek needs to be commended for his work on Vaelpak and making a truly great rom with full features. I have nothing but good experiences running his rom.

I also want to give a shout out to Virus for his work with the Airbourne rom, another sense based/non sense launcher type rom. He's made a pretty slick looking rom with some help from MikFroyo to optimize the apk's.

I hope both these developers are getting their due, because they really have given us some great alternatives.

Actually, all rom developers holding us over until gingersense deserve some appreciation for keeping our Evos relevant.
