yay got throttled again bout 4 days ago. this patch didn't work at all. not that i expected it to but thought id try anywayz. tmo didnt even send me a text this time they just cut me down in the middle of a netflix movie. why can't i be a lucky one and not get throttled wtf? tried switching apn's as well didn't work. oh well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Some times they send you the text but they let you have 4g for a few more gb's. It has happened to me a few times. Last bill cycle I went all the way to 11gb of 4g after they sent me the text before they actually throttled me.

Does anyone know if sprint repairs your phone if the screen gets scratched?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooksa1:
pretty sure they will but you will probably get charged
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 27s:
If you get a nice store. It is cosmetic so they may not.

Sent from your local omaha sprint store
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZuperBlahq:
I will have to ask my aunt then she's been working for sprint for a while.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmstwo002:
The older EVO screens has an issue with dust getting under the screen. The Sprint store replaced my entire screen in 10 minutes at no charge. So, if your EVO is older, and you see dust in the top left corner of the screen, take it in for a free screen replacement. I wouldn't even mention the scratch. I've had my EVO since June 2010, with no screen protector and still looks new; they are pretty hard to scratch.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bynge:
I guess its buried deep under and that I will have to turn a lot of rocks to find a answer to this from the forum. I am getting random results on searching. Nothing on wildfire specifically.

I want to know how I can install an OTA update manually on Wildfire. I don't want root.

I have the OTA.xxx.zip file from "Shipped_ROMS" website and I want to do a manual install.

I have figured out this much. I have to rename the file something like "PG05IMG.zip"(for hTC Hero that is) and put in SD card. Start into HBoot by key combination.

And then ? (Should I got to "Recovery", what can I expect next ?)

What should I rename the zip file as ? (Very important)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
Firstly make sure of that u don't want root anymore.

And are u asking the thing for htc hero or for wildfire. Im giving the process for wildfire. I dont know about this thing in hero.

First rename the OTA update zip file to "update.zip" and put it in the root of the memory card. Then reboot the phone into hboot menu and then select recovery. Then u will see a red triangle. Now press volume up + power key. Then u will go to the recovery menu. There u will have the option to install the sd card update.zip . just do it and then reboot the phone. Thats all.

NOTE: If u modify the contents of that zip file, then htc signature will be lost and installation will be cancelled with an error. And donot do the process with low battery.

edit: Told u that thinking ur phone was not a rooted one.
[EVO 4G General] jorpe:
...informing me my account was being cancelled for excessive roaming data usage. I knew it was being throttled and it's why I'm switching providers and already have a phone with a different provider. I wasn't abusing it, but when sprint changed the terms of their service agreement when I got my evo it put me in a bad spot because I work in the mountains of CO 2 days a week and have a lot of down time to watch videos. Previously, my grandfathered SERO plan had no restrictions on data usage. 10 years with Sprint and this is the call. Awesome.
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Some will tell you this is a blessing.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
See ya....
[EVO 4G General] jorpe:
and I thought we were all just becoming BFF
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Out of curiosity, were you using the verizon prl? Or a regular sprint one.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Huh?

You knew you were being throttled?

You're right, you are now because you're with another provider (and they all do except att that just doesn't have unlimited)

Sprint doesn't throttle phones.
[EVO 4G General] josh995:
I sort of want to be canceled because I want to switch to Verizon or AT&T.

I know how to do the Verizon prl. My question is, are they making you pay an ETF? And, if they cancel you, do the do anything with your ESN? Will I be able to sell my phone to cover the cost of a new phone on another provider?
[EVO 4G General] jorpe:
Just a regular sprint one, I think I was on the 190.001 or whatever the number was. If that's not the one you were talking about either way I didnt do any of the semi-shady flashing anything to Verizon.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Unfortunately they dont make you pay an etf although they should make you pay extra for every KB of abuse.

Hopefully they lock down your esn so it can never be used again.

You want out of contract? Be a man and pay the etf.

No one made you sign the contract but you.
[EVO 4G General] jorpe:
Maybe I wasn't being throttled. Up until 2 months ago when I was out of normal coverage I could still watch things on megavideo. Within the last 2 months all of the sudden I cant even get data coverage that is fast enough to sync my email without timing out. This area is covered with a Verizon 3G signal. This has happened with 2 different EVOs on stock ROMs and steel H rooted rom as well as myn's 2.2 RLS5 ROM
[EVO 4G General] josh995:
I know nobody made me sign the contract. I could pay the ETF. I just don't want to. That's the beauty of America. I don't have to do anything I don't want to, and there's a way around everything.

Thank you.
[EVO 4G General] jorpe:
I think this isn't even remotely directed at me (I see who you quoted) but on the chance that it is... I wasn't doing any of that and am not under contract with Sprint and haven't been since December. Before I got my EVO and had a winmo phone my grandfathered SERO plan had a $5 option for data roaming while off the sprint network as long as it didn't go above a certain percentage of your usage, which it shouldnt have ever anyways because unless I'm snowboarding or exploring CO I'm not off Sprint coverage more than 2x a week
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
And this is why America is going down the drain, people don't take responsibility for their actions, they screw everyone over to save themselves. What a sad country we live in.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I'm going to bold what I'm about to say because you need to understand it.

This behavior right here, your behavior, is the PROBLEM.

It is EXACTLY WHY carriers get away with throttling and limiting and ****ing the customer.

It is EXACTLY WHY there is always a new law to bend people over even more.

You're not just ruining it for Sprint customers, you're ruining it for everyone in society and the day this is understood is the day we might actually be able to mature as a people.
[EVO 4G General] chickut123:
Hey, I think you guys should lay off the guy. It wasn't his daily there was no Sprint coverage. And this is America, he has every right not having to pay an etf because Spring decides they've had enough. So bottom line, go troll somewhere else, this guy doesn't deserve it.

I feel bad for you man, hang in there!
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Make way for the "you should do what's right" police :rolls eyes:
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
If Sprint stops providing coverage in your area then they have to waive your ETF and that is a separate issue.

However, if you sign up for Sprint and you use the coverage and then just decide you don't want it anymore and therefore are going to abuse your way out then you can honestly go jump off a bridge.

Sorry, I forgot, it's "cool" to abuse situations in life whenever possible and to **** others over.

Our bad, bro.
[EVO 4G General] chickut123:
He said he isn't using a verizon prl, it is obviously bad coverage. Not his fault.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Now you're learning man good for you! Living is all about bending life over and taking what you want. In order for this to work you will have to break rules and abuse the system sometimes. Nice guys will always finish last Matty.....
[EVO 4G General] josh995:
That's exactly what I'm going to do.

I'm going to abuse Sprint's roaming policy to get out of my contract.

If you don't like it, you're the one who can jump off a bridge.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Yes, he is biracial and he is half white so just like us he will always think he is half right all the time. WHITE POWER
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
Who cares where they were before. Even if Obama ends up being a shrill at least during that election some people felt inspired to participate in a race which has been nothing but white dominated. Whites and Spanish brought them here. Don't get mad because your ancestors never thought of sending them back to their motherland.

Abuse exist in all human systems. Human welfare =/= roaming data agreements with a company that was bought by Verizon. Pick a better argument to push your "I love getting ****ed in the ass by foreign and domestic bankers" mentality.

Get a clue. Learn to indent.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
Actually, bro, I'm pretty far from being PC. Pretty damned far. Black was being used as a pejorative in the statement, not as a simple descriptive. You may wanna read the thread before you just jump in with assumptions like that.

You got one thing right. I am gay. Thanks for pointing that out.
[EVO 4G General] paulg1981:
Umm what 'actions' did he take that were improper? He wasn't using a hacked prl or trying to use verizon data while on sprint. Sprint simply offered coverage that sucked in his area(s) and was playing the percentages (ie that most people would not use a bunch of their "unlimited data" off network).

If he was trying to screw them or use a hacked roaming list, sure unload on the guy but Sprint shouldn't offer service in an area that they can't cover well enough, especially with a phone made for media and huge data usage!
[EVO 4G General] westicle:
It says on your profile that you are from Cuba. Im confused as to how you could say that we live in a sad country, when you apparently immigrated here to get out of a "bad" country. Just an observation.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
So you guys don't read at all huh?

I think it's very clear who we're talking to.

He works for Sprint, that's KNOWN. I can put I live in China...watch..

At any rate, keep up this behavior guys! Don't forget to get mad at carriers and manufacturers and even Google when they all continue to lock things down to the point where you won't even be able to root your phone and install custom ROMs...
[EVO 4G General] westicle:
Hey matty, I don't need to hear **** from you about anything. You always have some ignorant drivel to spew out of your keyboard and you like to pretend to take the moral high ground, but in reality you are just another person who is no better or worse than anyone else.

And by the way, Im Pretty sure I informed you that dirty worked for Sprint months ago when you were arguing with him about data throttling.

And i don't have a problem with him.

So, with that being said, i was just making an observation about something he said... none of what I posted in regards to him had anything to do with you. And i know you don't live in China...i know you live in an emotionally distraught hell hole of depression, seeing as how often you post about how hard life is, and your father dying, people being mean to you, etc., etc.

Don't paint such a broad target and people won't shoot at it.

This is not opinion. Purposefully abusing for the sake of abuse is why our society is turning into the joke it is.

It is also why we as consumers get the short end of the stick.

There's nothing about that which fits the word "opinion"

I wasn't commenting about your father's death kiddo, I mentioned other things as well. I didnt stay it to hurt you either, was just making another observation, and i hope that if anything I posted hurt your feelings, that it wasnt that brief 3 word statement out of everything else i posted.

However I do think you are a silly and foolish person.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
You can't hit someone with an epic (but somewhat true) low blow then take it back or make it not sound as bad lol. That's weak man. If you have balls stick to what you said and stand behind your words young padawan!

I wasnt taking anything back, just wanted him to understand that there was more to the post than just that.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Your an idiot smh lmao
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Well where I'm from we don't have cell phones to this day, so things we take for granted or complain about don't exist there. When we decide to not pay for things for our own benefits everyone suffers from consumers to companies so prices keep rising and privileges continue to be removed.
[EVO 4G General] westicle:
Good, smart answer.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
You realize a contract is a 2-way agreement?

If the contract says they can terminate his service without an ETF, he is UNEQUIVOCALLY ENTITLED to those terms.

If they don't want it that way, they should change the contract.

That's it, end of story.

Right now it's like... the 20th topic down in the evo development section.

Techknowfiles hack the HTC evo. The prl link in the first post is dead I think but the instructions are still good. The prl has been linked to quite a bit in the thread. I use 00001 and get full service.
[EVO 4G General] /bin/bash:
Sorry to hear that OP. Not sure why there is so much hate on OP for using his phone the way its intended.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
The "hate" in this thread has nothing to do with using something as intended, it has to do with people abusing to intentionally get out of contracts instead of just owning up to the responsibility of paying an ETF.

Really, not much to do with the OP and moreso to do with subsequent posts.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
The hate in this thread isn't toward the op. Yes sprint can charge an eft if your phone is in a good sprint coverage area and your roaming all the time.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
The hate is...the fact that people abuse the system in non ethical ways to avoid payments they don't want to make which in turn hurt everyone else...to give you an example, a factor dumps their waste in the ocean to avoid proper waste dumping cost...yes it doesn't hurt you now, but in the long run it will and they do it bc they think its easier and cheaper this way...moral of the story is fldo the right thing
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Matty for crying out loud jesus christ man, I swear you live for this **** lol.

The hate in this thread is because you have grown men in here who are about as cool as Bob Sagat. STFU and stop talking about morals and what's right from wrong. If people want to get out of ETF's who gives a ****, you (and others) "*****ing" about it doesn't help the cause.
[EVO 4G General] harleyf150drvr:
You can leave this country if you think its so bad.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
Or...we can act like real men and try to correct a problem instead of ignoring it or running away. Take your asinine cliches and use them on someone whose family hasn't been here since the frickin Mayflower landed, bub. People acting like imbeciles need to be told so. Yes, Matty can be a wet towel sometimes...Ok a lot of the time...but that doesn't mean he isn't right occasionally. This happens to be one of those times. To the dude that thinks that America is all about doing whatever you want and getting around everything that you don't like, you seriously need to grow up. The only way a freemarket (or a non-fascist democracy) works is if people take personal responsibility for their actions. You don't have to like it, but it is true. If you don't understand why, then maybe it is time to stop fvchin with your phone and read a little political philosophy. I don't mean to start a political debate here, wrong place and wrong time, I'm simply trying to point out the folly of entitlement. Some dudes don't seem to have the ability to understand why sticking your frickin hand in the bear trap is a bad idea until and unless they personally lose a couple of fingers. Evolve already. Learning through observation and extrapolation: it is a beautiful thing.

[EVO 4G General] :
I hope you all know that this guy the OP wasn't abusing his service. He has to work. I would rather have food and a place to stay then ya know. He had to work and it took him into roaming. There are people who try to make their phones roams, or that they are in roaming all the time. Bad choices on their part. But this time this guy was working. that is understandable. At least to me. You have to work.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
You could tell me or you are telling me?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Yeah I got lost there too
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
Frankly, that's complete BS. Carriers throttle because there is a very tiny portion of users consume WAY more data than the remaining 99% of the users, and they want a way to limit this because just a few people are taking away bandwidth from the majority. If everybody used data like them, everybody would be using a slow network.

That's where data caps come in.

Now it's nice when you know that you have no cap, and if you go way over one month - no problem. However some providers feel they need to put limits on their subscribers and say that if you go over, you pay extra.

This all has nothing to do with people trying to get out of paying their ETF.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I was referring to the behavior.
[EVO 4G General] josh995:
Yes, I am abusing sprints roaming policy to get out of my contract.

And if I'm being quite honest... I don't know any of you. If it affects you and your phone bill, I don't care. Like I said earlier, I have the means to pay the 200 bucks. Pocket change. I just simply don't want to.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:

[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
Reading the posts of Josh, and **** or whatever his name is just reinforces the fact that this country is teeming with retards. Its why we are the laughing stock of the world.

I'll leave you two geniuses with this sage advice from a movie that you can both relate to :

What you've just typed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this Forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[EVO 4G General] Philyteach:
While I'm a little late to the thread, I'm still going to throw in there that you don't have any of the "rights" that you are spouting off about. Your "rights" are clearly defined in the "bill of rights" <- see the nifty name, will help you remember where to look, and do not include the right to weasel out of a contract, blame everyone else but yourself, steal etc etc.

This is the problem with today's citizens. They have no idea what their real rights are and willingly give them up. Then they whine and complain about made up rights being violated.

Oh, and to 'Semantics' I certainly don't need your advice. My attitude and upbringing are the reason I got where I am today. As dirk said earlier, nice guys finish last. I find that to be very true. I'm also not embarrassed. Not a bit.

This is the mindset how foreclosures on houses start, except it's not a phone. :D
[EVO 4G General] josh995:
No, foreclosures happen when people buy a house they can't afford.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
trololololololol People who buy a house that's worth more than it actually is just let it go back to the bank, then if that house is foreclosed it affects the area around it, bringing down house values so other people are paying too much on a mortgage then start to let the house go back to the bank, or lose money and interest if they're trying to sell the house. That's how it happens a lot here in Toledo. :D
[EVO 4G General] josh995:
