I just logged into my sprint account, there was a green "!" over my phone, so I hovered over it and saw this:

Save $150 on a new phone now!

We love you, and to say thanks for spending time with us, you qualified on 10/01/10 to save $150.

So I guess I'm in the clear to upgrade to an EVO 3D?

Edit:

I purchased the EVO at full price when it came out since I wasn't eligible for an upgrade at the time. Still not convinced on the EVO 3D though, may go with the Nexus S..we'll see.
[EVO 4G General] Tilton53:
TLDR - Sprint no longer takes into account the time a line was active just the individual account.
[EVO 4G General] dcfella:
I'm not really sure how Sprint's upgrade works, especially now with the switch regarding gold/sivler.

I signed up with Sprint on 7/30/10 to get the Evo. I just texted "upgrade" to 1311 and it said I was eligible for a $150 savings on 07/01/11 with a 2 year upgrade($75 with 1 year). So does this mean an ADDITIONAL 2 years added on to my existing policy(making it expire in 2014) or 2 will my policy now expire 2 years from the day I upgrade?
[EVO 4G General] fr0st420:
When I did that text message thing to see when my upgrade is due it says 4/1/12 now. I have a web transcript from a Rep saying I would be eligible for a upgrade on 6/1/11. So you think I can use this as leverage to get my upgrade?

Ill be at 10 years in March 2012 anyway.
[EVO 4G General] MichaelWestin:
Had the motorola Q for a year or two. Got the Palm Pre Launch day. Got the Evo launch day. I'm on the 69.99 + 10 + 7 (Insurance) - 23% Employee discount. Upgrade day was 6/1/11 as of the past few days. Today I texted upgrade to 1311, $150 off 2 yr, $75 off 1 yr, on 6/1/11. I definitely don't qualify for this. I just hope it stays like this until the Evo 3D release.

My friend got a 3DS and I played Street Fighter on it yesterday for a few minutes with full 3D on. I thought it was awesome. Some people keep saying its a gimmick, but I'm really looking forward to taking some interesting pictures and videos, as well as getting a sweet bump in all other specs.
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
From the few forums I frequent, it seems the people getting their upgrade dates changed so far, are people who were already eligible. For example someone had an upgrade eligible 10/2010 and never used it, or 02/2011 and never used it. These people are all reporting their dates have now changed. People who were not yet at the 12mo mark, myself 10/2011, haven't seem to have been changed.

So either Sprint started rolling this out on eligible lines first, or some of us are getting lucky. I have checked numerous times last night and today (Sprint online, 1311 text, Bestbuy etc) and all still shows my 12mo upgrade for $150 as of 10/11. I won't be surprised to see mine change to 08/2012. I'm just surprised it still shows the 10/2011 date as valid.

[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
Mine was eligible 10/2010 and it hasn't changed, it still says I'm eligible for an upgrade now. Now if they would just release the 3D already..or give a date.
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
yup. this sucks.

my upgrade was just cut in half, unless I wait until December. ****ers.

8 year customer, very annoyed.
[EVO 4G General] x0lliex:
I bought the Evo right after launch (new customer). Changed my plan to the $89.99 plan earlier this week, showed eligible 6/1/11 yesterday (for full $150), shows 6/1/11 today (both on website and text from Sprint).
[EVO 4G General] SwaggaSnatcha:
I did the same thing only 7/1/11 is my upgrade and received the same result thank God for this forum or I would've been very upset this summer
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
But by bumping up your plan you're not saving a whole lot of coin. Your gonna pay an extra $90 plus tax and a slight pro-rated charge for July, assuming you change back to the old plan immediately after getting the EVO 3D. So you'll likely pay $290 total, or just a few bucks over, for the new phone under a 2yr contract. Assuming $450-$150 credit - $100 instant or mail in rebate + $90 extra plan charges ($30mo x3mos).

Or you use your $75 1yr credit and pay $375 ($450-$75 credit). Plus you won't need to change your plan type. Also you only extend your contract 12months, instead of 24. I guess you gotta weigh out if the extra $80 saved and 1extra year under contract are worth it? FWIW, my upgrade is still incorrectly showing 10/01/11. I assume it will change soon.
[EVO 4G General] x0lliex:
Your math is slightly wrong. The extra charge per month is $20 ($89.99 to $69.99) but that extra $20 will be discounted. In my case (24% discount) it is only $15.20 per month ($45.60 over 3 months). Also, when you upgrade with the $75 1-year premier upgrade, I think (may be wrong) that you still have to sign a 2 year agreement.
[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
So Thursday i checked my upgrade status, and yes it said i was due to get the upgrade on 6/1/2011 at $75 off, though that i wouldn't get the $150 off till 4/1/2012, i didn't check yesterday cause i already knew of the whole thing, so figured i'd wait till the day after the 1st. So i checked this morrow, and it show's i'm still elligible just not at $150, but instead i have $75 off, but again it show's that i can still get my upgrade, which if i'm correct in my viewing that means i can still get the Evo 3D when it comes out, just at $75 off instead of $150.

For sure someone correct me if im wrong, but i don't think so, rather i hope i'm not, this may have made my morning.:D
[EVO 4G General] jyan_osu:
I checked my upgrade eligibility a few days ago and I had $150 off and was eligible on 2/1/11

Checked today and it said the same thing. If my line wasn't eligible, I have two other lines that are so evo 3D here I come.
[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
MY guess is due to you were already eligible before the 4/1 change date, again that's just a guess to why yours stayed the same.
[EVO 4G General] Jjday7:
Just a FYI for people. I don't really agree in having to do this but it may be an option for some of you that aren't going to be able to upgrade when the 3d comes out. I was told by retention to change my plan three months before my original upgrade date. This would be a change up to the 89.99 plan and that will make you eligible again in August. He then said to go back to my regular plan after that. This only works if you had an upgrade coming that you just lost.

Just like mentioned above that if you have a discount on your plan, it will be around 15.00 x 3 months. I have a 25% discount so that helps. Not that great but its an option but not that bad either. Please confirm this before doing this.
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
Oh my bad, I thought it was a $99 plan. :) Then that sounds much better, especially with a monthly discount. Far as I know the $75 credit is and always has been for a 1yr contract. And to further clarify those excited about the $75 off. That's all it is...$75 of Sprints retail price of the phone. No mail in rebates or instant rebates are applied, just $75 off the full price.

Those of us on family shared plans have a $40 mo jump $129 to $169. Even with my 20% discount that an extra $96 over 3 mos, those without discount will pay an extra $120. Kind of a wash for me, for an extra $75 I can not do a 2 yr contract and leave my options open. I'll have to think about it.

I called sprint twice today, both supervisors said that if you lost an upgrade that you already had, they will give it back, but if you lost an upcoming upgrade your out of luck.
[EVO 4G General] x0lliex:
I know the $75 is for a one year contract, what the other person was saying was that after 1 year of a 2 year contract you can do a $75 1 year contract, which is not true, the early upgrade of $75 people get with premier is for a 2 year contract. If you are already eligible for a $150 discount with a 2 year contract then you can do the $75 discount with 1 year contract.

[EVO 4G General] StealthTH:
I'm currently waiting for someone at Dan@sprint to get back to me. I had conflicting reports on whether Sprint would replace my refurb EVO due to screen separation back in March. Long story short, the rep from Dan@Sprint said that they would not repair my phone but did mention that I had an upgrade due on 06/01/2011. I asked the rep at the time if I was going to lose that due to premier changes, well I got in writing that he said I shouldn't. Sure as the sun rises on 4/1 I lost my upgrade. I re-emailed the rep and rep said he was going to talk to management to make this right for me since he told me wrong information. We'll see where it goes...
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
I just got off the phone with retentions, and they basically told me to buy out my contract in July..."I tried to return your upgrade, but I can't. You'll need to just buy out your contract, and start a new one."

Whatever :mad:
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
No, but they sure as **** can take something they've ALREADY GIVEN YOU

[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Buy out the contract?? What exactly does that mean? Pay the remaining months on the contract? Sounds like BS. Try again, or ask for retention's supervisor.. Work your way up documenting who you speak with along the way (emp name, id #, incident id, etc..)
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
From the way they were talking, it's like paying the ETF, but without cutting off service. I'll give it another shot tomorrow, if I don't get my upgrade reset, I'll just buy the E3D outright.

Sent from my Gingerbread Supersonic 4G
[EVO 4G General] KB112:
Yeah, what happens is they will let you pay your ETF basically and not discontinue services. This will make you Upgrade Eligible at new customer pricing. Sucks they can't/won't reset it.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
Yeah, the more I think about it though, it would be cheaper just to up my plan to the $89.99 plan for the next three months, get my upgrade and then move back to my current plan. That's only around $60 over the next three months as opposed to the $150 ETF.

Hi all,

Been searching for this, but could not find for Dream.

How do I switch the s-on to s-off?

Or do I even need to turn it off in the first place?

I am using a windows 7 machine, and I do have AndroidSDK installed. I am also trying to use FastbootCommander app, but could not see that selection in the GUI.

Thanks

Heeter
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleeepy2:
With your current spl (if your signature is correct) can not get s-off.

Check the post that tells you how to install it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
There is no true (radio) S-OFF for dream, only SPL-S-OFF. Find an engineering SPL (best is 1.33.2003), install that, and you will have SPL-S-OFF.

Note: be certain that you have a radio that is compatible with your SPL before changing either. 0.95.xxxx and 1.33.2003 SPLs are compatible with 1.x and 2.x radios. 1.33.2005+ SPLs are compatible with 2.x and 3.x radios. If you make an incompatible pair, you're screwed.

Engineering SPLs include 0.95.3000 and 1.33.2xxx.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Note to take, you will loose the 14MB extra memory if you drop down to a certain SPL+radio combo. But if S-OFF is what you want, then that's what you might be loosing.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heeter:
Thanks for your responses guys,

So my understanding is that S-On is perfectly fine for my device?

I followed this steps from http://androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/ to root my Nexus One. Details:

Android version on the phone: 2.2.2

Recovery image: recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611829)

Cyanogen’s N1 Addon: nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=613812)

After I flushed the Cyanogen’s N1 Addon and reboot the phone, the screen didn't display anything. Only the very first Nexus One logo and the unlock logo shown up. However, the phone seemed to work. First, I can slide and unlock the screen, then the phone vibrates if I click those four buttons underneath the screen. Although I cannot see anything, I know roughly where the unlock sliding bar is. Second, I can connect to the phone through "adb shell" and "su" works as well.

It seems to me that the problem is about Cyanogen’s N1 Addon crashing something about the display. I didn't backup nandroid before flushing (stupid stupid stupid mistake). Is there any way I can revert the flushing? Should I flush any stock image? I'm not sure which stock image to use, because I don't know which parts Cyanogen’s N1 Addon changed.

Any help will be appreciated.

So is "GRI40" the build number for Android 2.3.3 in general or it's specific to Nexus? Is the stock GRI40 ROM in the wiki you mentioned created by HTC or Google? I'm a little confused here.

As everyone know WP7 has a feature which rotate screen as phone is rotated. In my phone it always work, almost 90% of time it is in "vertical" mode, when I rotate phone it switches to "horizontal", but I have seen issues few times:

1. when phone lays steady on flat surface (like table), when I unlock phone it is sometime switched to "horizontal", even when it was in "vertical" when I had put it on table,

2. when I am talking to sb with this phone, and phone is hold vertical, when I want to end call, the "end call" button is vertical, but options below changed to horizontal.

Of course every time phone switches back to vertical mode after 3-5s but it looks strange and annoying.

i do not even have setcpu installed anymore, that was actually slowing my phone down. im using the AUS radio again and its working good now with that ril update, and im using a 1500mah battery, which isnt much over stock but im gonna go to the stock battery and see how that goes to get a bettery battery life/accuracy on a stock battery to see how it does. not that this battery has given me any troubles, but im not a fan of some aftermarket stuff.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The amount of time your screen is on will have a big impact on battery life (even with the brightness turned down). So even though SMS itself is not a big battery drain, if you have the screen on often, and for long periods while texting back and forth, that may be the culprit.
