Believe me. The hotspot is $29.99 monthly. I have 2 evos on $99.99 plan. I have 1 other evo on $69.99 plan. Overdrive is $59.99 . I have sprint TV extra $9.99. I pay $30 for ($10 each phone) for data surcharge. I pay $8 per device for insurance. I also have 15% Govt discount on $69.99 line because sprint wont discount simply everything $99 plans. I also have an Airvana Airave for no charge. My bill is over $460 every month. It is true
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
So you're an idiot?

Not to call names but seriously...Why aren't they all on a family plan.

You'd literally be paying half that price.
[EVO 4G General] issafram:
...don't use the SPRINT Hotspot App...use something more native.
[EVO 4G General] osifervic:
I had them on family plan. I changed to individual plans in March of this year to get sprint premier gold status for upgrade of primary line. The other 2 lines I took off family plan due to my nephew and sister have the phones. I was told by sprint that setting them up seperately would allow them each the freedom in the future to take their numbers to their own individual accounts if they decide to set one up. Also, Sprint customer service told me they could port their individual numbers to another carrier if they wanted to without me having to change my line rate plan. I like the simply everything $99.99 plan. I would like to keep it and don't know if in the future if Sprint will ever discontinue it. So to be safe that is how I configured my account.
[EVO 4G General] osifervic:
Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
[EVO 4G General] dcowboys2184:
Y'all is some ballers paying that much on phones.. I barely pay 136 and some change for 2 lines.. Can't do it like y'all lol
[EVO 4G General] osifervic:
... ballers???....more like $$$ high rollers! he he ...I know my bill is practically a car payment LoL!

However, I am not complaining. I gave 2 evo's to family members this past Christmas. I was happy to give them both Evo's and to be in the financial position to pay for their rate plans every month indefinitely . My sister and nephew both wanted the evo but couldn't afford it or the monthly plan given their current financial situation. They both are thankful and appreciate it. I'm glad to have helped them out.

....Anyways, enough said. I apologize for going off topic.

I swear I'm going to hit 45gigs on my phone this month, reading this thread, downloading all these huge egos... :P

Lol .. here's your 46th gb. Hopefully Sprint wont drop you for using too much Unlimited data (:

Wow. You're a very very nice and generous brother/uncle.

Can I be your sister? :)

what a long sad story holy cow.. :eek:
[EVO 4G General] osifervic:
I wish I could have you in the family.

Believe it or not, I also have another sister on an At&t iphone4 account ($115 monthly since Dec 2010, she had wanted an iPhone last Christmas. Tried to bring her into the Sprint evo family but she's a rebel and likes dropped calls on the Att network. Lol! )

Currently, I can only afford 1 sister and 1 nephew on Sprint and my other (youngest) sister on Att right now.... lol (:

I'll keep you in mind if my financial situation changes where I could accommodate adding an adopted sibling. (:
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
You should post up when you are accepting applications for this new sibling. Ask for gifts of Evos and accessories, and then adopt the one who gave you the best gifts. :-)
[EVO 4G General] Tekn010933:
No worries! If upgrade send me the old one, so I can post some more rooting, unrooting, back-ups, custom apps, unbrick'em etc; :)
[EVO 4G General] htc_joe:
perhaps someone should come out with the charlie sheen phone and operating system based off of android..... the contacts would have programmed hookers and drug dealers for when you want sex (cheaper then an ex-wife as you only have to pay them once) and for when you need tennis ball sized balls of something else....
[EVO 4G General] Beejis:
This guy is so wrong on so many levels. He obviously believes EVERYTHING an associate of any store tells him. I wish you could, but sadly you can't.

All I can say is read the contract, that is the truth.

This couldn't be the case as I use WiFi tether for a whole month and haven't had anything like this happen to me. But for what its worth I will be mindful of my actions for now on, just that I love the fact the I play my PS3 using the tether app tho, lol.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
Practically? It is more than either of our car payments, and more than half as much as my mortgage payment on a $100k+ house!
[EVO 4G General] pennie77:
I dont know if the same rules apply to personal accounts or not but just got a bill on unlimited buisness account for excessive tethering. In the fine print i found that anything over 5 gigs they reserve the right to charge for the excessive data usage. It has only happened once and found out one the guys was letting his son watch movies on a connected laptop. Alot of movies needless to say he now pays for his own bill.
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
I switched to Verizon and was searching their posts about the Thunderbolt and some guy has a longer post than mine telling about the same situation going on there.

It is no surprise as in this information age, it is just too easy to find out about these things.

The bad thing with Sprint is that they offered Unlimited in a Sprint area. However, if your phone acts up or the tower is not working right and you end up roaming for even a little bit that they considerer too much, they just might drop you, as they did me.
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
I think it's safe to say you roamed way more than "a little."

DUMB ****
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
Dude...don't even go there....you don't know....from what I just read from an AT&T breakdown....using Pandora 2 hours a day on HD will eat 20GB a month alone..so going hiking with my dog every day....not counting all the other things the EVO could do....I was amazed how much data is being consumed.

As for the roaming...I never used the phone except at my house...and I am NOT in a roaming area....I DON'T understand WHY people just keep making it seem like I don't know my own roaming usage. I even posted it. Geez....it is usual people who accuse others of doing something when they aren't...the people who are accuse ARE.....

I have been very polite to everyone throughout this whole mess and to have someone keep coming back at me...I guess that is what people that don't want to help out the situation and have no life do.

Google others having the same problem or check other forums on XDA. It is happening and I was glad to see that I am not the only one. It may be a rare case, but it DOES and CAN happen. Enough said.

Oh, and have a great day!

PEACE OUT
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I'm pretty sure it won't.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
This ridiculous topic AGAIN?

Below is an official document that shows that rooting your device is supported and even serviced by Sprint according to their new policies.

Stop abusing roaming on other networks and you won't get cancelled. [By the way ALL CARRIERS HAVE THAT POLICY]

The end.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
You again?

Can't you troll someone else?

By the way, if your signature is gonna try to make it look like I said something that I didn't say [which according to the new announcement of a few days ago is a violation of the rules] maybe you could spell check it and use the correct grammar, tough guy.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Get over yourself
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
Ok, I'll remove it as I was unaware of any such changes in regards to signatures. All you have to do is ask. :)

I just find it funny that you used to have such an issue with 'strong language' and lately I see you using just that. Chill. Besides, it was a quote by someone else ... I am aware of the the difference between "now" and "know."
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Actually, tough guy, I rarely use that language. Maybe 1 out of every 50 posts.

However, after a topic that is clearly a trolling topic with no basis keeps getting recycled over and over it gets real old.

As you can see from the document I provided, Sprint supports and even services rooted devices as of April 1st 2011.
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
LOL

LMAO

DING DING DING ....
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
The issue wasn't about your providing proof of anything ... yeah, this topic has been discussed ad nauseum and any further discussion is just unnecessary.

Please, also, do not bring out the cliché 'tough guy' comments on me ... was merely pointing out the usage of lanuage on your part. I didn't actually report you. I don't intend to. I didn't do anything else to suggest I was 'tougher' than you. I just find it funny when I am passing through the forums and see you pulling out the cards that you previously called others out on. It's fun. Only reason I snuck that 'reported' comment in ... ;)

And if you really thought that error in the sig went unnoticed by anyone else apart from the original poster ...
[EVO 4G General] crypt0kiddie:
You said you have no offical Sprint towers etc. I take it you have no CLEAR either? This data usage was on 3G then, not 4G?

HOW IN THE HELL do you do 45GB in a month on a Sprint EVO? Hell, even the 22GB average listed! What were you downloading? Full 1080p Blue-Ray porn movies? :D
[EVO 4G General] One4mNoWhere:
If this story is true y would HTC have unlocked their bootloader, cos it seems like they r supporting rooting the phone. Plus I do know ppl r terminated cos of excessive data usage.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Its all about the roaming usage.

ALL carriers will violate you with excessive abuse of roaming.

Because THEY have to pay whomever owns that network for the excessive usage.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Encouraging to see people are still trying ... but it's a losing battle.

Everyone is a 'troll' these days, or a 'tough guy' or a 'insert the latest branding.' Apparently the issues are discussed so much that Matthew has to show up in every thread and hype it up all over again as opposed to passing on a chance to 'set everyone straight.'

I guess the dream of us holding hands will never happen seeing as 'tough guys' wouldn't be caught dead doing as much.

I guess I was the only one (at least posting?) that thought the 'Reported' remark was funny. For obvious reasons. :D
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Do you ever stop?

You constantly go around running your mouth about me and other people when what you do is 50 times worse.

Yes every once in a great while when I get upset I might type a swear word. Big deal. Who doesn't.

Some of us that I won't name do it every third post.

At least I'm constantly helping people and at least I'm trying to stand up for people to be informed unlike you who just tries to stir the pot, gang up on people with your buddies, and post stupid pictures.

I tried to get along with you and your few little buddies but its impossible as your whole goal here on this forum is obviously to cause trouble and then blame whoever you're ganging up on for that trouble.

Just put me on ignore as I asked yesterday and call it a day.

Please.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Get yourself a glass of water. Breath.

I don't go around 'stirring up trouble.' And I have been known to help. Do I stop in every single thread and post something? Good or bad? No. Some do. I find you posting in damn near every thread whether it needs it or not. I pass up a large number of your posts when I could respond with something constructive. Or a picture of a cat. Good or bad. Constructive or not. However, I dont. And you claiming the other day that it is 4 people? I see you getting into it with a lot more people than that.

I was responding to someone else, so you didn't need to quote and direct your embellished claims and stories in my direction. You obviously feel that some people gang up on you. Maybe that is more of a result of your own doing. I don't walk out of the house and have people just start commenting on my business or talking ****. You don't need to come at me with your business as I wasn't even talking to you. Learn to move on from a post. You don't need to stick your nose in everything or constantly argue with people. It gets tiresome regardless of how comical it is seeing you get all caught up some meaningless comment.

Breath.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
How old are we again?
[EVO 4G General] blu3poptart:
He misspelled breathe......TWICE!!! XD

But in all seriousness, this is no place to argue guys..stick to PMs and please stop acting childish. Your comments are irrelevant to the thread and are unnecessary. That is all...
[EVO 4G General] cwbristow@cox.net:
I got an offical 'censor and warning' for a whole lot less than the bs off topic going on thoughout this thread,

How do the mods decide who to *****slap?

I just want the rules enforced consistently.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yes. I am aware that errors were present :D I'm outside and wasnt even going to respond. I'm not trying to clutter up another thread with some dumb comments. Was merely responding to another whiny comment by the master of disaster. I wasn't correcting anyone's spelling ... I see misspellings from even the best; matthew. Even he'd acknowledge that honest mistakes can happen. I'm still here for you Matt.

Again I cannot be bothered to go back and read over my previous comment. It's sunny and hot outside and the air conditioned vehicle awaits.

Maybe I can proofread when I get back. >_<

OK, I fixed one. I'm human! Even though spelling errors are not the issue, I do appreciate it.

It is sad that Matthew feels singled out. I almost feel for him. More importantly I feel for his inability to feel.

Give me your hand, Matthew ....
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
I'll edit it out. I haven't searched too hard. But I was disappointed to see your blog was taken down ... :(

I can agree that such talks is overly discussed and unfortunately kept at the top .... problem is I don't constantly click in. You don't have to post in every single thread either and try to finish every single discussion. You seem to honestly show up to try and issue the final verdict. Once is enough. If people want to ignore your post and continue discussing something that may not be true then so be it.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Because I'm really, very tired of the redirecting and deluding of reality that you and a few others do, I'll just leave these screen shots attached to this post of the first 3 pages which include 78 different threads where, as you can see, I have only posted in 16 of them and were half of them or more were me helping people.

Back on topic:

As shown here, rooting your device is supported and even fixed by Sprint as of April 1st so please don't buy into this thread.

Rooting as nothing to do with why the OP was kicked off Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
How far back does that go? 4 days or so? FFS, way to miss the point. Good job at twisting and stringing together partially relevant 'evidence' in support of your claim.

Take it easy, guy.

[EVO 4G General] n8te_1:
i'd go with what another person said above...someone is hoping on your phone/network when you have the hotspot on and dling torrents or something. thats outragous! i'd be pissed if i paid for unlimited data, and they shut me down
[EVO 4G General] dsf3g:
Thanks. Seems I'm at 89 MB with two days left to go. Not exactly a power user.

It only shows 3G data usage, though. Is 4G not metered?
[EVO 4G General] Fazulka:
I would think that the reason the op is getting booted is data roaming, not just excessive usage. I would think 45gb should be fine once in a while, but if it its roaming it would cost sprint lots of money. Every one on here has seen threads where someone did data roaming to get out of their contact, and this guy did it by accident. All the extra conspiracy stuff sounds to me unrelated, they probably just saw a nandroid folder on the sd and knew he was rooted before.
[EVO 4G General] t600p36:
Wow... 45GB!? like someone mentioned earlier im sure they could care less if your rooted, dont they throttle you down after 5GB anyway?
[EVO 4G General] tgruendler:
Sprint doesn't throttle. End of story.
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
None of the above...no date roaming.....I am in full Sprint coverage area....and also....I specifically took out my SD card before handing it over to them. One way that they do try to check, which I didn't let them have access to, is by giving them your Gmail login information. They then go in and see what apps that you have downloaded or paid for.....anything that requires root access is a big tip off.....but, as the tech at the store told me......now, they can access everything because people don't want to give out their personal account information....so they go another source.....I was told this is in Oklahoma City....where they are accumulating information and have full access to whatever we have done....almost like having tech support having access to your computer to help you out by seeing your screen......not quite that detailed....but....they can still see what sites you are visiting, what you are downloading....and what features you have on your phone and what rom version/pri/prl etc version you are using.....usually done at night......and it is being pinged and they get this information........so...moral of MY story is that what I have already posted earlier.....No roaming.....not excessively downloading anything.....BUT.....still show high data usage.....and there is no second chance....once you get the letter......calling *2 will not work.....you are given a special number to call....put on hold for about 5 minutes....and then given the "Your services will be terminated...for me....on July19, 2011". The Rep I talked to said that is just starting to really take off and as I said, she had about 30 people just from her side, that she had talked to that day......so it isn't just me.....My point....is that I was doing everything legally....except for when I rooted it.....but I still was paying for the Hot Spot......because I felt that since it was my only Internet Source where I live, I should have to pay for the extra $30.00......I have protected WPA2 encryption......and it never showed any unauthorized users.......as you have to allow them to connect......so....it isn't a conspiracy....it is actually happening....just not sure why it is to people who are on the up and up......
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
Anyone ever heard of paragraphs? Sheesh
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
Yeah....that's what I would think....even though they aren't supposed to....but I would have much rather had them do like T-Mobile and just throttle it.....that is why I asked why after all the calls and emails I have sent them regarding problems with my phone.....why nobody mentioned my excessive usage......I was told they don't have to.....and it just goes to a special department which issues the letter.....so you don't have any warning or second chance...it is totally at their discretion as to how much they think is excessive and depending on what their software shows that you have done to your EVO in the past regarding rooting and such.....
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Way to not contribute troll its a forum not a English paper n i agree w keeping bill copies might have a lawsuit unless they can give you details of what you did wrong :/
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
Do we really need to go there? It has no useful information regarding the situation. If so, don't forget your (.) after "Sheesh"!
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Sprint doesn't throttle. I know they say its "unlimited" but anything over 5gb to 10gb they start to watch you. So if you're a user who's constantly hitting 40gb+ a month that's probably going to put you in red flag status; in the long run its probably not cost effective for sprint to keep you im guessing. My buddy is a manager at sprint and he tells me all the time people who use Xbox, dl torrents and etc get the boot eventually. Sprint can tell exactly where the packets are coming from and where they're going; even the ones who pay the tethering fee get the ol "excessive roaming" letter lol. Im am not surprised you got kicked at all but I for feel bad for you. I highly doubt root has anything to do with it......
[EVO 4G General] m4rk0358:
If my post changes that person's writing style and makes them break their long-winded thoughts into paragraphs then I would have made the biggest contribution to this thread.
[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
Thanks!

I just wish I knew what was causing the excessive data. I don't use torrents, don't have an xBox or Wii, nothing that would use that large amount. That is why I have called and asked many, many times and emailed and went into the stores to find out why.

I would just get the "Don't worry. It's totally unlimited", even though I knew that is not the case. So, it just makes me mad that now I have no Internet. My phone will have to be sold with all accessories. It is just a big pain. And after 20 years, there was no help with Sprint like saying, "Hmmmm, that is strange, I will have someone from IT call you when they investigate your account", type of answer.

They feel that since you can do so much by rooting and it shows that I have been rooted before, that I must be doing something illegal because of all the apps that can do lots of stuff. If you are rooted and you get pinged, you are already flagged for now and in the future. So, if something like this happens to you, you won't even know it. But they already know. You might just be SOL in the long run if you root. That is what I gathered from the in-store rep and the latest phone rep.
[EVO 4G General] massivebasset:
Haha greatness. I skimmed the OPs posts because they were too difficult to read.

Theres a difference between having perfect spelling and grammar, and being unreadable. The OPs post are the latter.
[EVO 4G General] :
I agree. I couldn't bother to try and read OP...at..all...so..many..dots.....and..no....breaks...just.sooo.....hard..on...........the....eyes......
[EVO 4G General] lithid-cm:
Well its not going to be about rooting, don't get me wrong. I know Sprint is different then HTC. But Sprint doesn't care about what the phone is doing, or if its rooted or not.

Sprint only cares about root because the manufactures tell them they can't support rooted phones (HTC). Recently tho HTC said they won't be shipping their phones with locked bootloaders. That is the whole issue with rooting your phone is the locked bootloader. So if HTC is allowing an unlocked bootloader then they are allowing root. So inconclusion to this statement, Sprint doesn't care about root and will not be going after you for rooting your device. They are not looking for rooted users, don't care about them. They care about phones on their network. That is how Sprint makes money.

So to get back to the real issue at hand, your data. Then only thing I can suggest is read your contract. That contact is the

ONLY

thing that will make or break anything. Advertisements are not legally binding contacts, but contacts are. Read over the agreement. If it says anywhere about the data usge, excessive use, or limits, then there is nothing you can do because you signed that very agreement. Didn't you watch South Parks (HumancentiPad)? Same things goes, read the agreement, you might just find out you're in the wrong, or you might just have a lawsuit on your hands.

Either way.

Good Luck
