Well i did ok not great but ok.Back a month ago i ordered 3 EVO 3D's and 1 line i got a 100$ credit for renewing the contract and it is on my current bill where i got it.

My other 2 lines we not able to be renewed because they were not to long ago.

Anyway i called up today and told the lady i was told i would get a $70 credit on those lines for renewing and never did.

Well she gave me a BS line of well the 3D was already discounted and they really could not do that.Then i said again well i was told i would get it but it was never put into my notes.

So in the end she told me of how many credits i have and there is just so many that can be added at 1 time so she said she would give me a 100$ credit but $50 credit on each of my next 2 bills as this was the only way shw could do it.

So in the end i made $100.Sad it does not lower my current bill but will help the next 2 so in all $100 is a $100
[HTC EVO 3D] ceredics:
Didnt get 70 dollars and 210 dollars but i got a 10% discount on top of my other 15% my friend gave me lol my bill is like 65 with unlimited everything. :) love it.
[HTC EVO 3D] blueblur:
I got my Evo 3d for "almost free"... Radioshack will also buy back your old Evo... if you got your EVO in June/ July of 2011, you can early upgrade.. they override the upgrade... Thanks to this thread, my phone was officially free now :)
[HTC EVO 3D] spx_trader:
Yeah, let me know what you end up getting, and did you call the number OP posted? I was thinking of just trying a regular customer service rep. I have got credits pretty easy in the past and it seems like they are getting harder to get. When I bought the OG evo at its release I ordered it online and had it billed to my account. It was 300.00 at that release and I told them when the bill came that the sales rep said I could spread it over 3 bills. she said well they should not have said that so let me take 100.00 off the bill. I have been with them 11 years and have 4 lines, usually they are pretty good. I did just do that 25% employee discount and sent a email to dan@sprint.com *****ing about the delay on the ns4g update, and someone from his office called me. maybe they flagged me, lol
[HTC EVO 3D] krayziejoe:
I just emailed Sprint and easily got a $70 credit applied to my account...that will cover almost 2 months of my service, thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Just called and got a free airave coming and a $70.00 credit. Was on the phone for 9 minutes. Well worth the call.
[HTC EVO 3D] bigwooly:
it took less than 5 min and i have my credit. thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Devilived666:
Was on phone 3 minutes.. gave me a 80 credit .. I didn't even have to renew. Thanks Sprint!
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Yeah, I called the customer retention number the OP listed.

I got the 3D with a cover and screen protector for $53. Had early upgrade overridden, 20% off total receipt with Four Square check-in, and got an additional discount on the accessories. If I get the full $210, Sprint will have paid me $157 to take the 3D. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] bpollina:
sero-p

Can anyone confirm if this has worked for them on SERO-P? I don' think we're elligible for the $70 credit, but I could be wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] coolguycarlos:
Nice!!!! This worked for me too!... got an Airave and an 80$ Credit!
[HTC EVO 3D] coolguycarlos:
Sprint sent me an email to make sure everything went well with my recent call to them. This is what I replied with:

Yoli... May I call you Yoli?

I really don't have the words to describe the type of service I received today.

I mean are you gals playing a race over there to see who can satisfy their customer in the least amount of time?

Shoot I wish I could satisfy my girlfriend that quickly!!! But she HATES IT when I try to be quick about... well that's a conversation for another time.

Moving on to Andrea.... ANDREA IS FOCKEN AWESOME.... Thats right.. I said it.. F-O-C-K-E-N AWESOME! She should be part of a pit crew for a NASCAR driver. I called you guys started my stopwatch and within five minutes flat I was done with EVERY SINGLE ISSUE RESOLVED!!!

THAT'S UNHEARD OFF ANYWHERE!!!

The experience was truly orgasmic!

I mean I am so happy about her service I am thinking of naming my kids after her... EVEN THE GUYS!

I know it sounds like I am over doing it on this email. But I've had in the past bad experiences when I'd call Sprint. I mean I would be so pissed off after a call to Sprint. that I would literally walk outside and kick a random baby.

But after talking to Andrea today.. I have been left so satisfied.. that I literally feel that I have cheated on my girlfriend.

Give my regards to Andrea.. and tell her to keep up the excellent job!
[HTC EVO 3D] Amd4life:
worked for me, thanks to the OP, I got 25 off for two months

I kind of agree, Sprint's not as well off as Verizon or AT&T&T. If this Lightsquared deal doesn't work well they're gonna go under.
[HTC EVO 3D] irishgreen:
Ya judging from the 4000+ views and and at an average credit per caller of 50 bucks im sure there accounting department noticed that $200,000+ loss in this months revenue..lol..But thats why i started this post along with others from before on this type of subject (free airrave, upgrade early, etc.) cause Sprint rapes us enough with there bs 10 data premium charge and no more yearly upgrade, etc....and im all about sharing whatever i get with the community..Android and all its components are OPEN SOURCE!! No hidden teams...one team ANDROID DEVELOPMENT!! Its forgotten alot around here..and its sad that this post is about the only thread ive seen in the 3d forum with no trolling or flaming..lol..because people are getting free stuff..I hope some of each of everyones savings are going towards the s-off devs working hard or saved for awesome rom and kernal devs after s-off they deserve it
[HTC EVO 3D] ill3nium:
Tried an hour ago and no luck. Makes sense they may have caught on if they had a surge of calls regarding this. Try to space it out or through *2 maybe.

My account's been a mess of fraud & credits so that could have something to do with it lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] irishgreen:
When i call Sprint I get what i want everytime..I dont take no for an answer and talk to as many supervisors as necessary..I have 3 lines on my personal plan and 27 on my buisness account..I pay sprint a nice chunk of money every month and at account renewal/upgrade times..they should do what i as a customer need..thats the service i pay for..Im sure my accounts are riddled with bad remarks and multiple credits...
[HTC EVO 3D] gronimo21:
Cant say thank you enough
[HTC EVO 3D] ninoriff:
Feels the same way when I go to my local Sprint store ... 8 Bombshell latina sprint employees (Yes I counted) .. its so sexy they fix your phone, smell so damn good and even bring you a beverage while you wait .... Now this is service... I swear when you leave there you fell like you did something wrong .... Just a very interesting sensation... Thanks Sprint .. I love you! :))))
[HTC EVO 3D] iitreatedii:
yeah after calling like 5 times last month when the other thread was posted, i tried again and they said no after me complaining...they said we can credit you 70 dollars but your contract will start today instead of the 24th when you upgraded making your new expiration 7/29/2013, i said thanks, have a goo day ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] dementio:
Yeah, it kinda helped that we got disconnected while I was on hold, and when he called back, I answered using GrooVe IP, which for some reason I haven't checked yet, makes the other person hear themselves as an echo. My connection quality issue was quite validated while on the phone with them.
[HTC EVO 3D] d0m1n0:
Same for me, I switched to Sprint on launch day of Evo 4G, so my account wasn't at renewal, so I wasn't elidgable for the full credit, but she gave me half of it, $35 as a good faith offer, since "the rep at the store mistakenly told me I could get a credit".
[HTC EVO 3D] spx_trader:
Yeah, they may be catching on, my gf called back and they were asking her a lot of questions about how she heard about this. she went on and said it was told to us by a rep, bla bla. they offered her 5.00 or 75 mins which really set her off, so he ended up giving us 25.00 for being misinformed. this may be getting to played out
[HTC EVO 3D] thisguyinoc:
Just confirmed, this is a NO GO for SERO accounts. They credit does indeed exist for regular accounts, but not for SERO. So if you have a non-SERO account, give them a call or even start a chat session from the web site and you can get this credit applied.

Agent: "I can check you have employee account with sprint, we do offer $70.00 credit to extend the contract but it is not applicable for the employee plans."

Agent: "However you can change your plan to a normal plan then you can get this credit but if you change your plan then you can not change your plan back to employee plan."

Thanks OP - I got $100 back for two lines and grabbed my MSL code while I was on the line. Took about 2 minutes. Woot!
[HTC EVO 3D] Stegobits:
I can vouch that this definitely works. My brother in law called in to upgrade his phone and was told that he qualified for $70 credit per line for staying with Sprint which was pretty sweet because he didn't even know about it at the time. Now he's $280 happier!
[HTC EVO 3D] twcrosno:
Wow!! You were right. At first the person had to send me to another department and then the next lady acted like she didn't know, but then she came back and said she credited my account $140!! Thanks irishgreen!! And hell yea we deserve it and why was it such a secret? If it wasn't a legit credit why did I get it? Rob Sprint, yeah right...
[HTC EVO 3D] hayabusa1300cc:
Thanks fo the tip. I have been with Sprint since 2003.

Only a couple times have they credited my account over 100$

Close to renewal, I guess this is why. I had just completely forgot about it.

Well my contract is up on this line (of 3 lines) on aug 1st

I called and mentioned loyalty credit. Sh told me she will check and my account hs to be flagged for credit and said she

Could give me 1 month free service of 129$ the price of the line, for next month. So when I upgrade, I will only pay a little amount for the 3vo (:

Amazing, thanks so much. We got a brand new evo 3d at an authorized Sprint store for $50 bucks tonight and just called in and was approved for the $70 credit.

I just called as well. They wouldn't give me the $70 but instead have me $100 split up over the next 2 months. Not bad I'd say. Not bad.
[HTC EVO 3D] aFoodStampBaby:
Yes!!! I called sprint and said, I'm calling because I was looking at my bill and I didn't receive a service credit when I upgraded with Sprint. I was told I was going to get a service credit I think it was called a loyalty service credit. The rep didn't find notes on this but then the rep said, don't worry I knew about this offer so ill give you a $70 credit. Thanks for the heads up..

[HTC EVO 3D] reedsammy7:
This is the response I got from the Rep. I spoke to:

" I have checked this for you. The credit of $70.00 is given to the accounts when the contract end date is within the last 6 months. The end date of your line is 06/27/2013 and that is why this line is not eligible for the contract renewal credit."

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT!!!!! anyone else get this response?
[HTC EVO 3D] htce3d:
I tried this and they denied me said i wasnt eligble for it even tho i upgraded to the evo 3d and my mom also got the evo 3d they are ruthless to users who have been with them for 13 years and also got there upgrades moved forward 8 months just to get the e3d
[HTC EVO 3D] jackpearce:
I was told the same. I just acted a little agitated and they gave me 2 months with a $50 credit each month.
[HTC EVO 3D] aliabkad:

[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Just called the number to get my credit. I just upgraded in June to the Evo 3d from my Hero. I was pretty well told to pack sand and no way I was getting a credit as they didnt owe it. I will explain but also had a couple questions.

How much did those of you that got the credit pay for your 3d? Was it the 199.00 price? Where were you at your upgrade status? I know some upgrades can be done after 1 year..... and as well as the end of your 2 year contract. I was at a 1 year mark. My wife upgraded her phone to a Shift in February and at that time I asked them in store when my upgrade was eligible. They told me in June. I also checked with my sprint online account and it to confirmed this. Said I get 75$ for upgrade. So when the 3d came out I upgraded, signed a new 2 year contract and got the phone for 199. Now the guy at the retentions number tells me I wasnt due my upgrade and the store helped me out by bumping me up to upgrade status in June because in April Sprint changed their upgrade policy and I (policy changed for everyone is what he told me) lost my upgrade status because of this change in April. But that the store helped me out. I wasnt told of any change in the policy or my upgrade. When I asked in February they told me that June is when I could upgrade. Also when I went back in to pre-pay on the 3d I asked if that was still the case and they said yes. Still no mention of change of policy and bumping my upgrade up. I went online and it showed I could upgrade online in my account then.. So basically because of this the guy at retentions told me I get no credit for my upgrade.. EVEN though I still show I can upgrade and get the credit. Which he confirmed That I had not used it yet and could. BUT to get that credit I was expected to pay $549.99 for the phone and they would be glad to apply the credit to that purchase.

To be honest I feel very mislead by Sprint. The agent agreed that their lack of communication and things being somewhat misleading is an issue. But still wont give credit. So now im going to go to the sprint store and ask them if they indeed bumped up my upgrade due to a policy change that happened in April causing me to lose my upgrade but never informed me.

When I was in the store when I got my 3d I was told I do get credit. But now retentions says no. Not sure what to do about that BS.

any advice or comments? or any info on your story of how you got it?

Thanks.

Failed for me.

They told me on chat this:

The service credit of $70.00 is applied only when the customer has not upgraded the phone. It is not possible to offer both the benefits to customer simultaneously. Customer can choose either a $70.00 credit or a full upgrade and not both.

I then replied:

Oh, I guess it was just another case of an Sprint associate misinforming me yet again

He said:

I am sorry for that.

Considering the situation, I can offer you a one time exceptional credit of $30.00 for the inconvenience that has been caused to you due to this
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
Here's a crazy, insane, idea:

Pay your BILL, in FULL, and thank them. Then, don't try to hammer Sprint as repayment for remaining to be the only provider with an unlimited data plan.

Your karma will skyrocket.

I DON'T work for Sprint, but I realize how good I've got it with them, and there's no way I'd try to steal the goose's golden egg.)

Look for Battery Circle in the market, it is basically the same. The one in the picture is a MOD (also called Battery Circle), but you will need to have root access to your phone, which we don't have yet. I think the picture is actually of a Thunderbolt, not the Sensation.

I'm sure everyone that owns an s2 knows what im talking about.

there have been loads of threads online with people asking for solutions, and i cannot believe there isnt a solutuion to it?

Surely someone knows how to remove the sms/mms log from the Call Log.

Its by default set to ALL LOGS. i can obviously view just missed calls or just received calls etc, but it should be default be set to just CALLS (like 99% of all phones that have ever existed have)! i dont quite get why samsung added sms/mms to the log.

I am running villainrom 2.0, gingerbread 2.3.4 Kernel 2.

Also i used villaintweaks. there is a tweak which says

prevent logging of SMS/MMS to call log (jufo)

that seems like just the ticket!

i installed it with villaintweaks, rebooted the phone. but upon reboot every time i try to access the call log, phone shows up an error and i have to end the task.

I re-installed the rom and tried the tweak loads of times with no luck.

can anyone here please help?

thanks in advance
