I started a thread a while back in the EVO 4G section on Sprint discounts

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1006791

I got a 25% discount a couple years ago that I found on slickdeals.net, it was a for Manheim shipping and I had to use an aol email.
[HTC EVO 3D] hupo224:
Do you still have the same discount?
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
Yes, I've had it for about a year or 2. The discount only comes off the base cost of your plan, not extras like the $10 data charge or insurance.
[HTC EVO 3D] cordell12:
I currently get 16% through my work. Last night before bed i created a @aim addy, submitted the info. This morning I checked my @aim and it has been approved :D Less than 12 hours is all it took, talk about fast!

Thanks OP
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
23% for being a usaa member :) pretty good
[HTC EVO 3D] dadoc04:
i did the same thing last june when the Evo4G came out. They forced us to get off Sero if you wanted the phone and slickdeals had a thread for a 25% discount for Cox if you have an aim email. :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
So being a merchant marine (Coast Guard) I could get a 15% discount? Just want some input before I call and make an ass of myself.

jonathaflores, did you get my PM?
[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
That his company signed a discount deal with Sprint and yours didn't.
[HTC EVO 3D] bsg411:
I currently have an Evo4G on a SERO Sprint Anytime plan which gives me unlimited cell calls and 500 (not the normal 450) anytime minutes and a 15% discount on the base plan. Therefore my plan is $59.99 + $10 surcharge for 4G for a total of $69.99 + Tax and fees.

I was thinking about using one of the 25% or maybe even 27% (Citi discount if they still offer that) but for one.....most of these deal require a corporate email account, so how are you guys getting around that??

Secondly, is there anything particular that makes a SERO plan better than a corporate discount plan besides the difference in the discount itself??
[HTC EVO 3D] miaan:
can i please get a PM, thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] boostedjti:
This applies to you and any other government employee, become a member of Usaa. 23% discount sure beats 15%.

That being said, I get 25% working for a major theme park.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Nice! Thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] ausch30:
I have the Everything Data 450 plan + the bonus 300 minutes Sprint was running a promotion on (and still might be for a couple days) + insurance - the 25% discount I mentioned earlier and my bill comes to $78-$79/month after all taxes and surcharges. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, you're not eligible for the same upgrade discounts on phones with SERO that you are with their standard plans.
[HTC EVO 3D] ninoriff:
Ok adding a discount to your plan is the easiest thing if you are signing up as a new customer, Now if you are not a new customer but want to add this discount then you should do some homework before you call, and make sure you speak with an ENGLISH speaking rep... Like the retentions team.

So if I want to add the citigroup discount for example, I would google a few things, like the nearest Citibank Branch Address, the generic 800 number, the sprint corporate id code (NACIT_ZZZ), and your employee id number (6 digits) (i used that) you can make anything up.. Seem like you know what your talking about and sound professional... Now I have never need any of the above to get my discount but dont be caught off guard..

Instead of Citi which can be a bit tougher since they seem to be the one of the highest, try the Clearwire one .. its 24% and very easy and very hard for a sprint employee to verify if they wanted too.. which they almost never do.

Just some ideas..
[HTC EVO 3D] Xencer:
That my employer signed a deal with sprint and sponsors them. If you're trying to bum out on a discount you aren't qualified for then this could indeed hurt all of us. Sprint is a good company and trying to cheat them out on money while they're trying to compete with Verizon or AT&T is going to hurt them. What if Sprint saw all the discounts were running rampant and they reduced ALL discounts to 10%? All because some adolescents want to save on some pocket change.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rtardedman:
Hi, can anyone please help with this?

I have a milestone that has root access, have followed step by step instructions on how to get into recovery so that I can flash a custom rom, vulnerable recovery has been flashed to it and open recovery been put on the memory card but it wont recognise open recovery, it just goes into normal bootloader screen. What sshould be done to make it enter boatloader as instructions have been followed step by step?

Thanks for your help :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
As stated in the name, to get into OpenRecovery you want to enter Recovery mode. When the phone is off, hold power+x until you see the Motorola logo. Then hold camera+vol-up to enter recovery mode, select update.zip and then you will be in OR.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rtardedman:
I've done that but the only thing that shows up is the bootloader which says battery:ok

ok to program

transfer mode: usb

thats the part that it wont go past
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] isleepinabucket:
did you turn off the phone before you tried?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rtardedman:
Yes, tried it with phone off first but no luck
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rogersk8ter:
I hv the same problem. The update file is corrupted.

I flashed back to original rom then recovery then open recovery...

finally, custom rom.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vishalmullur:
Happened to me to way before. It was because the sbf file we flash through rsd lite was corrupted or something. If you need a good version maybe I can tell you where to find it.good luck.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rtardedman:
Yeah because I tried it with 3 sbf roms, could you post a link to the one that you used? Thanks heaps
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
Could anyone with a new (before any updates, with the 7004 os version) T-Mobile UK Omnia 7 please verify what PDA / Phone / CSC does the handset come out of the box with??? Please DON'T provide the version numbers listed under Settings->About, I want the I8700xxzz codes.

You can find that info by entering the Diagnosis menu (dialing ##634#) and then *#1234#

I think that would be a useful piece of info just in case we need to send the device back.
[Omnia 7 General] Freypal:
I can tell you what mine came out of the box with on Orange UK, which I would guess may be the same since the two companies are so closely linked.

on .7004 i had...

PDA: ends with JID

Phone: ends with JIC

CSC: ends with JID

If you do a search through this thread i saw a guy saying he had JJ4 firmware on his early release t-mobile UK Omnia.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=963285&highlight=update&page=9
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
These not alot of point in listing this info, due to the facts that the firmware the phone has, depends on when it was released.

Plus if your phone came with the orignal firmware and was latter updated to NoDo, then it went wrong. T-Mobile (and the other Phone companies) would still Repair/Replace it. :)

Point in case My Omnia (Oct 2010) has JJ4 firmware.

My mates Omnia (Feb 2011) has JJ6, both are T-Mobile contract phones.
[Omnia 7 General] chemeng:
Judging from the fact that Ι got my phone just recently, and it had the 7004 os version, I kinda thought that they wouldn't have updated any phones in stock firmware-wise as well, and that they all had one out-of-the-factory firmware. Apparently that isn't the case.
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
This is just a guess, so keep a bucket of salt handy :)

When the phones leave the Samsung factory they have the lastest Firmware and possibly the lastest Retail OS versions.

Then when the phones arrive at the Network Provider, they wipe the 'Retail' OS and use their own 'Branded' OS image.

Which in the case of T-Mobile UK could still be the original one from last October, hence your new phone still had 7004 installed.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
"All Samsung Roms run on top of BML/RFS, CyanogenMod 7 does NOT.

It runs on MTD/yaffs2 (like Nexus One) which means you'll not able to flash just any kernel or run just any other filesystem you want. Use it as it is if possible, otherwise confirm with the kernel developer that you are trying to install whether it would work with CM. We do not support other kernels and know nothing about their capabilities or compatibility. Only the data partition, which is on movinand, is ext4 like on speedmod or voodoo ("lagfix"). No "lagfix" is necessary because this does not use any Samsung proprietary file systems."

This is a quote from Atinm about the CM7 nightlies.

I'm a bit confused on what it all means.

I know the stock filesystem on our phone is RFS, and then we apply the voodoo lagfix on previous roms to change over to Ext4 to speed things up.

Now what does this mean that the filesystem is now MTD/yaffs2? Is this a better or worse filesystem then EXT4? I'm just curious to know.
[Vibrant General] chui101:
yaffs2 is more optimized for flash media than ext4 or rfs/fat. ext4 is more about speed especially on larger drives, but it is media-agnostic. yaffs2 is more focused on data integrity which comes in handy with flash media where you have cycling pages of data that can go bad sometimes. Which isn't to say it's slower either though. Pretty much anything is faster than RFS :D
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
So then why was RFS used in the first place? Confusing....
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
First you have to understand the difference between the partition types.

With flash media, you need something to control wear leveling, whether it be a hardware controller or the filesystem. Bml is essentially a "box" with wear leveling controlled by hardware. This allows you to use common filesystems like RFS (a fat derivative) or voodoo lagfix's ext4. But why Samsung chose this over mtd/yaffs2, no one but the engineers at Samsung knows.

Mtd is the partition type used my the nexus phones, HTC phones, and Google's aosp code. It is essentially a partition of raw flash media, that bypasses any sort of hardware wear leveling. Because of this, you need a filesystems that does this for you, and that's what yaffs2 was designed for. It is not, however, the same as ext4, as ext4 is still meant for conventional mechanical hard drives, al though there are things added in for ssd's but they still require a controller. Yaffs2 is very different different from ext4.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
So the question still remains... whats the difference?

Wear leveling would be better do ensure lifr of the internal sd would it not? Does samsung put high quality chip in these phones even?
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
No, it's not that. It's Tue way current nand flash memory is. That's why there are constantly new controllers coming out for ssds, and constantly new development on filesystems perfectly suited for raw flash memory.

Running a conventional mechanical based filesystems on raw nand would destroy it because it would be constantly writing to the nand memory cell, and you want the exact opposite.

It gets very technical to go any deeper into an explanation, but the reason why CM7 is going with mtd us that their bread and butter (HTC devices, and the nexus series as well as the aosp code) is mtd.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
What if it was a filesystem like NTFS? Just for example lets say it could run FAT32.
[Vibrant General] geoffcorey:
Ntfs was built for.mechanic hard drives, and would have to rely on a controller to protect the nand flash.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
I wouldn't mind a 500gb hard drive in mah phone yooo

So I have recently discovered the wondrous GO SMS which I've found be much more smooth than Handcent...WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY more smooth. I'm planning on moving to it but I have a thread in my Privacy box in Handcent.

I want to keep and back up this thread and hence had to restore from the privacy box to where the rest of my threads are. Thing is I have more than 9,400 texts in said thread and have been restoring it since 4:00 A.M., it's currently 3:08 A.M. and it's STILL not done.

It just stays there with "Waiting..." When I do cancel it and go back to the main area though I can see it's restored some texts but just for future reference, is there any way I can restore without it taking so long? T.T

You can always hold the power button and vol - button. If after 2 minutes or so nothing happens then you know it was on and you just turned it off. Then turn it on in apx mode again. If it turns on it will go into apx mode. Try nvflash again. Correction. Try code detox.

[Fascinate General] solido888:
So I am using CM7, and while I may switch to other AOSP roms, I likely will never go back to TW. However, I do miss the TW camera greatly. It is one thing Samsung did 'right.' I know that camera cannot be ported to AOSP, but I have yet to find a camera app that can emulate its panoramic feature, that I CAN use on AOSP roms. Does anyone know of an app that might fill that gap?
[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
Look through the android apps and games section, do a search for "Sony panorama beta" and see if you can find it. It is nothing other than a camera app that does panoramas, no other features, but it works great.

If you want a good camera app in general either switch to miui or find a miui camera ported to other roms. It's by far the best camera app in my opinion, no panorama but everything world great.
