[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldude999:
Hmm, that doesn't sound good. I recently had trouble with changing VM and busy box, and managed to destroy my phones driver's. I couldn't connect to Wi-Fi(MAC address was <UNKNOWN>), Bluetooth(Address was <UNKNOWN>, or mobile(My phone number was missing). After factory reset, I took it to Alltel and they said they would put an update on it that would fix many problems. It now works, but lags more, it doesn't crash as much, seems to run warmer, and the battery doesn't last as long. I was wondering if it was just a minor overclocking mod and a few bug fixes, but if root doesn't work, that may be a problem for me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerekZ10:
Flash that zenkernel I mentioned. It seems to somehow be better with battery life.

I have no way to prove this but I work from 7am till 5:30pm. Before the zenkernel battery life would be around 70% after work. The other day it was at a low 80% after the kernel update. It may have been affected by outside temperatures as well I have no idea but it does appear to have better battery life.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oostah:
this is the same thing you did from the alltel site but there is a flashable zip for the update you used.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LEVATATOR™:
Any of these should work :: http://www.pcdphones.com/our-devices/support/adr6250update but u should try the Bittersweet ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=658755) And i use the Kernel from here: (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1110418) AND if that dont work try dropping it and see if that helps (hasn't for me ... but does relieve some stress)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldude999:
I'm really not wanting to mess my phone up again, I should be getting a new one shortly, then I will test out flashing ROMs and all that. I get the idea and how its done, I just don't feel like taking the chance. My stomach dropped literally when I turned my phone on and it had no service and the HTC video didn't display. I thought the phone company may deny fixing it, but I came up with an elaborate story that the lady there took. She did break into my phone though, and now it is still partially opened in between the volume keys, and the silver vertical bar that goes around the phone, I wasn't happy about that.
[Vibrant Accessories] creeve4:
I'm looking for an attachable gamepad for the Vibrant, something like this: Game Gripper or this: iControlPad (But much less $$$$, $119, SERIOUSLY!!?)

Obviously not exactly like this (we don't have a keyboard).

I really just want something with a Dpad and/or joystick and a few buttons that will physically attach to the phone so I can hold the gamepad and phone as one unit.

I've searched, but haven't found what I'm looking for, any suggestions?
[Vibrant Accessories] johnnycs:
I have no idea if the bluetooth stack would support it, but I remembered seeing this back when I was looking at gamepads for WM.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] blazebleam:
I just bought a 16gb micro sd card and installed it. Since then the only thing that seems to recognize it is the camera. I thought I was putting my apps onto the card, but when I look at my storage usage it looks like I haven't put any apps on my card. On "App to SD" I believe that I'm seeing the internal storage stats in the place where I should see my sd space. Any ideas on why it seems like my phone isn't making use of the extra storage?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Morgenavond:
If you connect it to your computer it should mount both cards (internal & external).

If you want to acces files from your phone use an explorer program and go to /sdcard-ext.

A2SD and such use the default internal memmory (/sdcard).

Hi

I've found several threads on this, but no definitive answer.

I have a NAS server on my home network and after hours of trying to connect, with all kinds of apps (including SMB File Share, Astro, ES File Manager), all fail with various errors.

Is it possible to connect to a samba / windows share with an out of the box android installation or is rooting the device the only option.

Many thanks

Nevermind.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alech:
I use ES File Explorer both at work on a Windows Active Directory domain and at home on a workgroup domain. Home file server is a QNAP NAS box.

This is what I use to setup a LAN connection to my QNAP box in ES File Explorer:

Domain: (leave blank)

Server: 192.168.1.198

Username: yourusername

Password: yourpassword

Anonymous: (leave unchecked)

Display As: QNAPNAS

This brings up all the top level shares on the QNAPNAS.

FYI I am using a TF101 with dock running stock 3.2, no rooting done.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
I'm rooted, but I can confirm that ES File Explorer can mount SMB shares on unrooted systems. It installs it's own libraries/modules in it's data directory, so CIFS or root is not required. I have had trouble with dedicated NASes before though, not just on Android either. If you can, disable all password protection on the shares and see if it helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aymara:
AndSMB will also work without Root, no matter if Samba, CIFS or old Windows SMB. And you can mount several shares, not only one. I find it very comfortable, even the free version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CADmonkey:
Try file expert, you dont need root. I use it with my Dns-323 NAS and it works really well
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeMonkey:
File Manager HD handles shares too (Windows Home Server, Win7, Thecus NAS) - unrooted.

Monkey see, monkey do.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonStein:
Well,you flash the rom back to 2.1 by using the xRecovery backup and you should flash .67 baseband after the backup also.

You did not flash the .67 BB so it stuck at SE screen.

Please try to install the usb driver to make flashtool work again.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
title says it all. the admin fee is going from .99 cents per line to 1.50 per line.

all you have to do is call and (2 options) 1.) cancel and move on to a different company with no early termination fee, or 2.) try getting out of the contract and go month to month so you have more leverage to bargain for a better phone in a few months as you are now out of contract.

this is the notice that should be included in your next bill

And per their terms and conditions.....

THIS LINK NO LONGER GOES TO THE OLD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

THIS LINK IS NOW GOES TO THE NEW TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

http://shop2.sprint.com/en/legal/legal_terms_privacy_popup.shtml?ECID=vanity:termsandconditions

YOU CAN FIND AN OLDER COPY OF THE CONTRACT BY COPY AND PASTING THE ADDRESS ON ARCHIVE.ORG

if you do want to cancel but want to save your phone number, try going about getting month to month, then porting out your number to a prepaid or gv, then wait 30 days, and port your number back to sprint getting new customer pricing on phones. (perhaps 3vo, sgs2 or photon for 99 bucks.)

For those of you who are considering doing the port out/ port in method you can port your number to Google Voice for free since Sprint and GV are partnered up (Thanks nkdumb24 from slickdeals.net )

personally, i wont be jacking with this. i already have upgrades available on 3 of my 4 lines and i like the prices. just sharing with the community.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
cool.. i was going to call and ***** about my loss of my yearly upgrade.. this will give me leverage
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
If you do leave and then come back "for new customer pricing" as you stated, then it may be safe to assume your loyalty time will start over and you will be in the silver package if you aren't on the phone/data plan(s) that automatically gives you the gold package.

Something to think about for those act before they think kind of people in the world. (For $6.12 of yearly fee adjustments.)
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i get that... but i think i'm still pretty far from the time i'd need to get gold. plus it would be more of a threat i think then anything. let me upgrade or send me to retentions. or maybe i will just move on. might be time to try GSM
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
Honestly, how many people are gold because of the 10 year thing? Most are gold due to having a 189.99 family plan. Id say white glove gold members are prolly a percent of 1 percent.

Some people, belive it or not, don't care if sprint throws them a 75 dollar bone every year. They just want reliable cell service. Your not "leaving" due to 6 dollars in fees unless your really sick of sprint.

Use it as leverage to get what you want.

Gold star for your dad then I guess? I'm guessing you get his yearly upgrade then? Cuz its only on one line...
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
I'm also a 10+ yr gold member.. Then again, for the bulk of the 10yrs.. i was only paying $15 a month so why bother with anything else? :) now that i'm payin $80 a month it's a different story. Sprint hasn't pissed me off too badly over the years, but VZW just has 3x better service coverage in my area.. so it's tempting... Now if only VZW didn't have the data cap and an epic-like phone i might be swayed.. good info thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
I would simply like to go month to month. I am happy with Sprint, and happy with my Epic, I just want to be able to upgrade in the next 6 months or so if something better comes out (currently under contract until 10/2012)

Has anyone been successful in doing that in the past with something like this?
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
Would getting the etf waived apply to letter C of the below?

When You Don't Have To Pay An Early Termination Fee

You aren't responsible for paying an Early Termination Fee when terminating Services: (a) provided on a month-to-month basis; (b) consistent with our published trial period return policy; or (c) in response to a materially adverse change we make to the Agreement as described directly below.
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
Personally I'm sick of Sprint but Im stuck with them. I live in an "excellent coverage area" but cant get signal for crap in my house, but in my office it's fine. They wont come check the towers. $10 a month "premium data" charge on top of that is garbage. My gf's Moment gets better data signal at home and she doesnt have the $10 charge. They can take their ETF and Premium Data fees and stick them up their ass
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
can you please show supporting information on your claim that Sprint will waive the ETF? what I've read on Sprint suggests that although they are increasing the fee, it's still below the $1.99 cap specified in the service agreement. that would mean Sprint doesn't have to waive the ETF at all.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
I thought this covered it:

Our Right To Change The Agreement & Your Related Rights

We may change any part of the Agreement at any time, including, but not limited to, rates, charges, how we calculate charges, or your terms of Service. We will provide you notice of material changes—and may provide you notice of non-material changes—in a manner consistent with this Agreement (see "Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement" section). If a change we make to the Agreement is material and has a material adverse effect on Services under your Term Commitment, you may terminate each line of Service materially affected without incurring an Early Termination Fee only if you: (a) call us within 30 days after the effective date of the change; and (b) specifically advise us that you wish to cancel Services because of a material change to the Agreement that we have made. If you do not cancel Service within 30 days of the change, an Early Termination Fee will apply if you terminate Services before the end of any applicable Term Commitment.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
can you please show supporting information regarding this supposed 1.99 cap?

i just did a page search on this...

http://shop2.sprint.com/en/legal/legal_terms_privacy_popup.shtml?ECID=vanity:termsandconditions

[Epic 4G General] gjones77:
They're trying to pull that on me right now, I'm on the phone with them.

I went to www.sprint.com/taxesandfees and it in no way mentions the $1.99 ceiling amount.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
The most the change could be is $1.50, I don't see an increase of an administrative fee by that little of an amount (51 cents) being considered a materially adverse change. They may just give it to people so they don't have to deal with them (i.e. for customer service reasons) but I'm pretty sure they can worm out of it contractually if they choose.
[Epic 4G General] nikon120:
I guess I will soon be in what you consider the 1% of Sprint customers. I hit 10 years in January 2012. ;)
[Epic 4G General] ap77:
That increase is absolutely considered material.
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:

[Epic 4G General] austin420:

http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/325793?tstart=10
[Epic 4G General] gjones77:
The problem is that no CS rep has been able to show me where the $1.99 was agreed to, it isn't on their site or in the bill.

I called executive support and hopefully have a final answer on this.
[Epic 4G General] Darkshneider:
What about past years were it only went up 40 cents? I didnt see a ceiling of $1.99 on the T&Cs.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
dunno, really. one thing that my nearly 8 years of dealing with Sprint has taught me is that they have (what they believe to be) a rational explanation for everything. I've wasted more time on the phone arguing with Sprint than should be allowable by law, and more often than not I've coming away with nothing remotely resembling common sense. the unfortunate part is that their competitors are even worse in this respect.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
thats because there is no ceiling. if its not in the contract, (witch i have linked to as well as the new as of 9-9-11 contract) it doesnt exist.

also, a sprint community moderator is far from a sprint sales rep.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
at no point did I say "sales rep," nor did I state at any time that I was positive about the validity of the info or its source. I provided some information I found while searching online and cleared labeled it as such. you're more than welcome to continue being as argumentative as you'd like. I'm not interested in participating.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
Looks to me like your the one claiming there is some clause in the contract capping the admin. fee. As a matter of fact, you seemed pretty positive. So it seem that the validity of the info you posted would be important to you. I guess not. Oh, you were just having a high horse attitude. I see.

If you have been with sprint 8 years and have no interest in canceling, why are you here arguing some point?
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
nice of you to omit the first of the sentence you quoted:

my interest in posting here was to determine the accuracy of what you posted...something, as of this point, you've failed to do. I've dealt with Sprint more than enough to know what their m.o. is, and I have a hard time believing that the approach outlined in the original post will work without some hard data to support it. you haven't offered any - simply stating that 51 cents is "materially adverse" doesn't mean it is, and certainly doesn't mean Sprint will play ball. as I said earlier, Sprint may very well allow people to opt out if they make enough of a stink just to save themselves the hassle, but you've posted nothing here that says in certain terms that Sprint will automatically waived the ETF because of this increase.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
Like I said, this happens about once a year. I'm mobile so I can't find the threads on it but it has been accomplished many times over. There is a current thread at slickdeals.net where a multitude of people have done this today. Google it. If you can't read a contract and also comprehend what a material change is, and also can't show this supposed 1.99 cap in any contract, I don't know what else to tell you except "sorry, your wrng".

Edit: are you seriouss that you've really never heard of this, or are you just trolling?

edit again: here is the 23 page slick deal thread where id say its 90 percent positive.

[Epic 4G General] dead78:
you're repeatedly attributing things to me that I've never said and now you're just being downright condescending. I posted a link to a Sprint forum moderator talking about the $1.99 cap. you're so caught up on the possibility that someone offered information that differs from what you've posted that you aren't bothering to read any of the posts. I'm getting pretty tired of repeating this but again, since you're clearly obtuse on the matter, I provided some info I found online that came from a Sprint source. to this point, nothing that you've said is anything more than speculative and it's fairly insulting that you can't entertain an alternative viewpoint without resorting to insults. at no point did I mention that it was my opinion that there is a $1.99 fee cap on administrative costs, nor did I say I never heard of sprint increasing their fees. it appears to me that you're adding a bunch of tangential (and arbitrary) arguments simply for the sake of being difficult. I don't know why you're doing that other than to either conceal a flimsy or argument or because you're just a jerk. either way, I'm no longer interested in discussing this with you. as you stated, you have no vested interest in this discussion other than for the sake of being right about something. that's a boring quest and no concern of mine. adios.
