[HTC EVO 3D] Greenkknight101:
i'd reccomend just waiting a couple of weeks, however....

If you really want to try and push it call: (877) 775 4886

It's the sprint customer service line that i've had the best luck with, they seem really nice.

Say you really want to get the EVO 3d, and want to get your upgrade moved up. Sometimes they say yes, sometimes they say no. They moved mine up from september to june.

Just hang up and call back if they say no, try a couple of times and you'll eventually get a rep that will move it for you. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] bradley26:
Be persistent it took me 3 calls but they did it at no cost. At first they wanted me to buy out of my contract but I kept calling. My upgrade was january. Good luck
[HTC EVO 3D] Night·Fire:
I would just wait 7 days.... I only pushed for two of my upgrades because they were August and next year.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
wow we have the same upgrade day! lol i was wondering about this also. so is it 199.99 even though it's only a 1 year upgrade?
[HTC EVO 3D] BlaydeX15:
I'm 90% sure that the yearly upgrade ($75 off) only takes 75 off the original price the store is selling it for. So if its $599, you get it for $524 if you're at 1 year. The 2 year upgrade people (And 1 year gold) are getting extras off that 1 years can't get, or the 2 years would be paying 449 for the phone.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... Someone who works with sprint or RS or BB may know better.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
No, it will be much more expensive with a 1 year upgrade. However, lots of people (including myself) have had luck calling the number GreenKnight posted to get their full (2 year) upgrade early. Most people are saying to wait because it seems like the key to getting moved up is already having your one year upgrade available. As always Your Milage May Vary.
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
Call the number. My one year wasn't until August and I got it pushed up for a full upgrade.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
i havent tried the number but i did do that thing where you pm'd that dude at the sprint user forums and he forwarded it to someone who would help get you an early upgrade but they said that since my upgrade came in july that it was not eligible for that.... :/
[HTC EVO 3D] eder6301:
My 75$ upgrade eligability isn't until 7/1 as well but I called last Thursday said no . So i hanged up and tried sprint chat and they upgraded me to full discount....
[HTC EVO 3D] snarebum:
i was just given the $75 upgrade not long ago and i was suppose to get my full upgrade in march 2012. I called sprint and told them im tired of my pos phone and asked them to move my upgrade or im leaving...the supervisor I spoke to instantly gave me the upgrade. I checked 10 minutes after getting off the phone with him and it was there.

and its not like i did a dishonest thing. Im getting an Evo 3D and they get my money for another 2 years. win win situation.
[HTC EVO 3D] jxr94:
Well you manipulated your way, unfairly, into an early upgrade, so if that doesn't bother you, then you are good to go. But, they are getting their money so w/e i guess.
[HTC EVO 3D] efan3719:
what exactly did you say? if you dont mind me asking. there are all sorts of stories about getting nice stuff from sprint if you say the right thing to the right person...
[HTC EVO 3D] Clipt:
wowowowowow I called your number and the rep reset my eligibilty just like that. i'm getting the 3d for 199 sweet!
[HTC EVO 3D] Selebrity:
I called that number and I got 2 of my lines a full upgrade but I wonder I'm running sprint lovers on my current evo will that be enough or should I unroot?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aardvarkr:
I was told about a retailmenot coupon that would net me a refurbished galaxy tab from AT&T for $250, but today when I went to buy one I found the terms had changed. The discount now only applies to accessories you buy on top of the tab.

I was really disappointed to find the price had gone up (I have almost no need for accessories).

Has anyone else found great deals for the galaxy tab?

you want my advice go for it , its the galaxy tab 7 that many ppl are dreaming to have it :) specially The IOS ppl LMAO , cheers , and thanks for posting in the correct section :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
Got mine off Woot a few weeks ago for $280. To me when you start pushing the $300 mark for a wifi only tablet you're pushing it. I can't see myself paying much more than that for a tablet. None of the devices really stand out from their peers at this point and it remains to be seen if there really is a long term market for them. I see prices dropping drastically at least for Android tablets as the holidays approach.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aardvarkr:
I know price is not the most important factor, but I'm just a college kid looking for a cheap yet high-quality tablet that I can use until better, namely quad-core, technology is released.

That $50 or $100 really matters because there is so much that can be done with that money and I'd like to save as much as I can. Can anyone help me find a good deal?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
If you're looking for a sprint gtab go to ebay.com.au (australia), they have been selling tabs for less than $200. Not sure about postage rates though...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A. Nonymous:
You're basically buying a toy though. Paying $400-500 for a toy is too much IMO. Especially if you're on a typical college student's budget.

Hi,

i really enjoy simpleness of pure Android on Nexus S. But, I have problem with SIM Toolkit app which is not included in Nexus S. Is there any way how to install STK app to my Nexus? Pls help. Thx.

I have tried several tutorials, I got stk.app (I think N1 version) in system/app folder, but it is not possible to install it, installation always end with "unsuccessful". I also tried flash stk.apk as update pack (downloaded from some xda thread), but again, it didn' work. Please, could someone push me right way in getting STK app funcional on Nexus S?

You have to put the stk.AP in /system/app, but another requirement is that your carrier support it. It will not show up if the sim card and carrier don't support it.

Sim Tool Kit on nexus s

Hi,

The link is broken.

i have a Nexus s on the Arrow

[ROM][AOSP] ICS build for Nexus S - v2

I have an older stk.app ( date of file shows 2007)

I was able to install the stk.app on the phone. But it does not show in the apps or anywhere else.

Please advice.

If there is a better or newer release of the stk.app, please send me the link.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] astmacca:
OK, have been looking into this as i am putting a dual sim adapter into my Nexus S.

I'm running the latest CM9 V1.1 at the moment with Speedy 5 kernel.

SIMToolkit shows up in the app drawer, but all i could get when i opened it was a notation for SIM Contacts that if pressed just endlessly tried to find, something. I know i have contacts on the SIM as i used another app to shift them there as a backup.

Now, was mucking around last night trying to get the CMSettings apk to work. With help from xda people i got it running. In Root Explorer a long press on the app apk in system/app brought up options, one of which is permissions.

Funnily enough, when i looked at permissions in SIM toolkit it showed the same permissions as work with CMSettiings. pattern below.

xxo

xoo

xoo

Anyway, i ticked the lot:

xxx

xxx

xxx

and rebooted. Now when i press SIM Contacts (that shows up as before) a menu showing:

Search Contact

Add Contact

Sim Status

About

Comes up and i can, in crude fashion search and manipulate contacts.

Now, i dont think SIM Toolkit is that important here in OZ. I believe that the carriers have to use it and i dont think mine does much. I only looked at it because i think the dual SIM adapter i'm getting may need it.

Anyhow, my question is. Have i done a bad thing by giving it all the permissions??

the problem is with the bluetooth stack, im not sur ehow but i know it can be downgraded to bt 2.1, that was an experimental feature in designgears cognition rom a long time ago, he went back and forth with it a couple times but said there were problems. that's not to say gtg or razor or h8trift or mikey couldnt figure it out but i dont see anyone showing interest in that on a samsung base rom. you might have to wait for the infuse to get an aosp rom, donate to a kernel dev like netarchy of razor who may have the ability to make an aosp compatable kernel for cm7.

If you are getting as great deal and have a good backup phone then go for it because in a short while the main issues will probably be resolved.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlitterTwisted:
Not sure whether you will appreciate this or not, but I just went the other way - got rid of a HD7 and got a Galaxy S (almost same as Vibrant I believe) and overall am much happier.

The Galaxy S is a much better piece of hardware than the HD7, it's better ergonomically because you can't easily use an HD7 single-handed. Also, the screen is in a different league and is actually usable outdoors unlike htc phones where you just see reflections in the glass.

The graphics hardware is more powerful in the Samsung and of course Android has a much larger selection of apps at the moment.

The OS isn't as slick looking as WP7 of course but generally I find it much easier to navigate round and use. For starters the back button works the way you want it to.

Plus the touch screen is way more accurate so typing isn't quite a chore.

If you're set on a WP7 phone check out the Samsung Omnia 7.

But I'd recommend you keep your Samsung and install Cyanogen Mod like I've done, it's great!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentrey:
Thanks. Im getting the HD7 from a friends mom who just went to AT&T and the phone is just sitting there collecting dust. $75 for it is awesome. Im thinking of giving the Vibrant to my girlfriend but im a truck driver so internet on the road is way important.

I loved the HD2. The size fit me better. Never had typing problems with the HD2. This Vibrant is a pain in the ass and I find it way less accurate. I have Bionix installed on it and its really fast and I have a lot of sweet apps but ive wanted the HD7 for Xbox Live on the road. Netflix is intriguing but im guessing it uses a lot of data usage.

Plus when I switched over to the Android service, my data plan when from 10 gigs a month (until throttle) to 5. Im not sure if thats just Tmobile's gig now. Plus my calls drop anytime I go from "H" to "E" to "G" connections. Really friggin annoying!

i've got a question regarding my sd card. i am on miui MCGv7.7 and the sd card just won't be detected. it doesn't pop up in the settings nor in any file explorer.

but, and this is strange for me, if i remove the sd card my sgs notifies me that an sd card was removed. this works also the other way around: it notifies me if i plug one in.

it is a sd card from sandisk and contains 16gb.

does anyone have any clues?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shizat63:
This issue hasn't been fixed yet. Chrome still ignores the HOSTS file in \system\etc

Apparently the HOSTS file must be in UNIX file format. One way to do this is use Notepad++ and convert the file by going to EDIT --> EOL Conversion --> Unix.

If you ping a domain in the hosts file and it goes to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 then your hosts file is formatted correctly.

But Chrome will ignore the domains in the hosts even if it's formatted correctly. Perhaps Google intentionally does this to prevent anyone from blocking their tracking tools?

I would bet there are millions of Android devices that have a hosts file but it's not working as everyone thinks it should be.
