There are those who are totally in love with their precious Apple iphone, they swear by it like it's the best thing since sliced bread. What's even worse is they actually go out and spend the $200-300 to buy their product. It should most definitely be the other way around, Apple should be paying me to use their phone. To sum it all up, I wouldn't touch an iphone with a 10ft pole..... Thanks

Hey yea I was looking for a Sprint general but could not find one. EVO folk seem to understand more than the rest so I posted here.
[Off-topic] bjb_nyj101:
Just because it's been stated doesn't mean its true; I, along with many other people I know on sprint & t-mo, are waiting for the iPhone to come to their respective carrier.

Reception in their hometown, plan pricing, and applicable employee discounts clearly override the desire to switch carriers and pay more just to have an iPhone, especially since there are comparable phones to choose from.
[Off-topic] evocalante:
Thank you!
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
True, not everyone leaves their carrier over a phone.
[Off-topic] Award Tour:
There's two benefits IMO.

1. Some people love the iPhone but would love the iPhone with Sprint's cheaper family plan pricing even better.

2. Hate it or love it, there's not many dumb phone users who'd impulsively upgrade to the $10 premium data fee for an Android or WP7 phone but would for the iPhone.
[Off-topic] spider2346:
No we just don't like Apple.
[Off-topic] newter55:
Yeah.....sprint need a sudden influx of people sucking on an already collapsed straw of bandwidth.

Or maybe you are right. They are just waiting on more customers to justify flipping the switch on decent service.
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
More customers means more money more money means more money capable of being put into the network.
[Off-topic] Grnlantern79:
How would this bring tons of business to you carrier? Do you not know the track record of the iPhone? The only thing Sprint has going for it is good android devices and unlimited plan. Let's all guess which of those will disappear if iPhone comes to Sprint. At&t and Verizon has both lost one of these two.....Sprint customers will get the iPhone when Verizon buys them after at&t and t- mobile deal goes through. Wecome to big red.
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
If the At&t/T-mobile deal goes through then you can say good bye to Sprint anyway so I'm not sure your point.

Sprint

has

to keep their unlimited plan for now.

It is the

only

attractive thing about Sprint versus what At&t/Verizon/T-mobile are offering.

If it goes somewhere, it won't be because of the iPhone.

The only thing that will bring the unlimited plan to an end is these idiots that use 100GB a month just to be an asshole.
[Off-topic] newter55:
Ok, I will bite. So they get the iphone and add 2M customers. How much worse does it get before it gets better?
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
They're already working to redo the network, more money will quicken that process.
[Off-topic] newter55:
Ok, as long as you are happy with the service provided for the price that is great. Personally I will say goodbye to my sprint account soon as I have become quite frustrated with speeds that rival....hmm...

Sorry at a loss there for a comparison as sprint has become even slower than ATT edge service here.
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
Okay?

Redoing a network completely is NOT a "flip the switch" process.

If you're unhappy then its best to move on.

I know that even with 300k speeds I can still do everything I want with my phone.

Admittedly I cannot torrent ...but why would I want to?

But (and this is speaking in general not to you) this attitude that Sprint isn't going to improve the network is silly.

They're not just gonna change their slogan to "The 56k wireless carrier" and call it a day.
[Off-topic] newter55:
Lol matty,

You are so defensive of your carrier of choice.

I understand that it is not a "flip of the switch" to improve the network. The problem is that sprint is losing ground as it is without the addition of the iPhone to their lineup, thus adding more data hungry consumers. They already have a very compelling reason for consumers to switch with their unlimited data.

What once was a reliable network for streaming music in my area is no more, as one can no longer do so without pauses and significant delays. Yes, this is how data hungry i am....expecting a couple hundred kbps.

As much as any I would love to see sprint succeed against at&t and Verizon; unfortunately, I will have to continue using the alternatives while I wait for them to decide their fate.

I will gladly rejoin the sprint network when they decide to improve it.....with more than just promises.
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
"Defensive of my carrier" by explaining the situation? :rolleyes:

Do you realize how long it has taken Verizon's LTE to get to what it is now? Almost 4 years.

If you want to leave, leave.
[Off-topic] newter55:
Funny story, I get 1-2mb on VZW 3g. Don't care about LTE but do get 15mb on it. On ATT 3g/h I get 2-5mb. Yes, i have service on all three.

I think I made it clear that i understand it takes time. The problem is that they are years behind.
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
Years? Not really.

Who knows what the October announcement is...

But these low speeds are not going to last forever.
[Off-topic] cdszoke:
Wow people take stuff personally on the interwebs. But, honestly I am interested on how revolutionary or "un"revolutionary the next iphone will be. If it comes to Sprint more power to Sprint. I doubt a giant influx of business will come because of the Iphone (case in point Verizon's iphone opening day didnt have pack lines) but, I do know alot of Android fanboys will be pissy for no reason the day Iphone comes to Sprint. If it ever happens that is. Honestly my girl needs a smartphone for dummies with a decent camera and long battery life. Iphone 5 might just be that solution. Just my opinion.
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
See here's the thing about the Verizon iPhone 4 situation...

Yes, the sale wasn't ridiculous ...however...it was only a few months before (what was assumed to be) the release of the iPhone 5 (summer releases)

I'm willing to bet dollars for donuts that was the biggest reason for slow sales.
[Off-topic] Jfree3000:
I'm sorry but why are you commenting in the evo forum if you are with Verizon? You obviously didn't like the network and left so what does the news of the iPhone coming to Sprint have to do with you? To the op thanks for the info, my wife would most likely try the iPhone when it launches.

Matty I know that people give you a hard time for providing logical answers. I think that guy is Award Tour in disguise.
[Off-topic] CDKJudoka:
TBH, why does it matter where they post? Isn't the internet prided on free speech, bad memes, and porn? That's what makes this internet so great. I, as a Sprint Evo user, can comment on an iPhone thread on an AT&T forum.
[Off-topic] mattykinsx:
I appreciate the compliment.

Its not about not being allowed to post because you don't own the specific device/carrier/os...

However, if you have att and you're coming into a Sprint forum to say "sprint sucks"....find something better to do with your time.

Discussion is fine. Trolling/flaming on the other hand, well that's what he was referring to.

(Note: I'm not saying anyone is doing that here, I'm just speaking in general)
[Off-topic] newter55:
Personally, I appreciate the fact that Matty has opinions he feels are worth posting, as well as defending.

Even if I don't always agree with them. ;)

fwiw, I do like sprint as a company and want them to succeed.

[Off-topic] phistyle:
lol I'm not even going to start with this thread....some people like the iphone and some people don't..that's the great thing about competition and choices...sprint getting the iphone will be great for a lot of people that want the iphone with sprint's low cost service.
[Off-topic] lithid-cm:
Hey, I personally like reading posts from matty.
[Off-topic] lithid-cm:
Its also good for users who plan on developing for android/iphone while android is great the iphone user base generally spends more money on apps. For example, Angry birds was .99$ on iphone and it was a tremendous hit. Knowing how android users were they released the app with in app adds. I personally would rather have an app for 99 without the ads. I would also as a developer would rather have the .99$ instead of relying on ads. I know its something that has crossed my mind with instead of using my upgrade for another android, while my evo is just fine. I might use it to get the iPhone so that I would develop for the iPhone platform as well.

LMAO good laugh. such a true statement. I for one don' hate them because of their products. I hate them because:

1. Overpriced

2. Steve Jobs assholish looking face

3. Steve Jobs assholish looking face

4. Because they named themselves after a damn fruit ( Macintosh apples) :rolleyes:

5. Steve jobs assholish looking face

6. They are too cocky of a company

7. Steve jobs assholish looking face

8. The fanboys

9. Whats up with the color silver? everything is silver!!!!! or black

10. The over use of the letter "i". Which mind you, first started out to mean internet(for those of ya'll who didn't know this). It was started on the first macbook dubbed the "ibook". The i was to point out ease of connecting to the internet so full name was supposed to be internetmacbook. So they shortened it to just be ibook, to get rid of mass confusion. but now everything apple makes has an i. ibook, imac, ical, ichat, idvd, imovie, iphoto, ilife, iweb, iwork, iphone, ipod(doesn't effin connect to the internet!!!), ipad, ios... you get the point

11. Steve jobs assholish looking face

12 Stevey boy tells you your holding it wrong WTF!!!

oh! and no it doesn't just effin work!!!! if it did i wouldn't have put my fist through the screen of my last apple laptop!!!! yes i really did do that. And I haven't looked back since.

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I have just rooted my Photon. Pretty happy with it. Wasn't as hard as I thought it was gonna be. Now to overclock it am I gonna have to flash a custom ROM? And if I indeed have to flash a custom ROM, do I have to unlock my bootloader? Or is there a way around that? Thanks for all the info.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
There's a few threads floating around about unlocking your bootloader; id be careful though you could possibly break 4G. As far as kernels go, the source was released a week ago so you cant overclock until a dev releases a kernel. You'd need to flash a custom kernel in order to flash roms...

I rooted my phone and left it stock just for a few root apps at least until a new bootloader unlocking method is found and a kernel is ready!

Bootloader thread. Fyi there are ways to retain 4G just check development section.

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Cool appreciate all the info guys. And as for the 4G. I don't use it and it's not in my area. So I'm not very worried about that to be quite honest. I'm having trouble tryin' to flash a custom ROM on my phone as of now. I don't seem to be doing it right.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay. As you two seem to know what's going on. I just flashed the Laser ROM onto my phone. And the su binary is outdated. But when I update, the superuser force closes. Is this common with custom ROM's? I tried to ask in the development page, but as I don't have enough posts, it wouldn't let me post there. Thanks! Also, as a side note. I didn't seem to have to unlock my bootloader to do the laser ROM but the Alien one says I do? Is this true? Again, I know this isn't the right area. but it's the only place I can post. Thanks again guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Assuming you flashed the latest custom recovery right? Also there's an app in the market that helps with the updating of superuser if it fails. Its called "superuser update fixer"; maybe that will help as i didnt have that issue. Yes with alien rom you do but there's a guide that lets you retain 4G with the alien rom.

Thanks Kenny. I appreciate the info. I got that first issue with the su fixed. And I flashed the Laser P-Rom with cwm or whatever it's called. As for 4G, not too concerned with that. But I will see about unlocking the bootloader today. I appreciate all the info.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
If you don't need 4G then flash away and unlock bootloader dude you should have no issues :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yeah. I'm gonna run out and do some stuff, come home then unlock my bootloader and flash that Alien ROM. How difficult is it to unlock the bootloader?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Not difficult at all if you managed to root your phone lol

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No such luck, I can't flash the SDF file or something like that. and I'm not really all that intune with what I'm doing. So I don't know what's wrong and I keep getting a failed when I try to flash it. So I think I'm just kinda stuck not having an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Okay. As I wanted to throw my phone at the wall but though better of it. And I really don't understand the Pudding thread. As I read through it. I used this http://briefmobile.com/motorola-photon-4g-bootloader-unlocked to no avail. I got a fail to flash on RSD Lite when attempting to flash the derpun.spf So now that I've come to a point of impass. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Was your phone at least 50% charged when you attempted it? If it wasn't you will get errors! Maybe you skipped out on a command? You should try posting the error you're getting in the bootloader thread so a few devs can see it. I would imagine many of them hang around their section and not general lol.

[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Im waiting for an easier method myself that doesn't break 4G. Lol.

I checked with *#7465625# that simlock and all other locks are OFF (before i used phone with SIM). When I put any other SIMs than Virgin I get "Emergency calls only" message. Virgin SIM cards work perfect.

I tried remove lock (but there is no lock ???) with all methods from this forum and still have no reception with non Virgin SIM. I checkd 2.1, 2.2.1, and 2.3.4 stock roms and is same.
