[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
I started this thread to help people who have a legitimate problem with losing service with their phones. Sprint gives people a discount on a brand new phone with a 2 year contact. Therefore, it is partially their responsibility to make certain that the phones they carry will work on their system. If they do not, they shouldn't sell the phone, period. If you feel that it is wrong to demand the service you pay for and feel an obligation to the corporation to not request compensation for LoA, then by all means, keep quiet about it and don't ask for a thing. But, please stop preaching your ethics and moral standards to the test of the masses. We aren't going to see your way. It's like trying to convert someone over to your religion. You're just wasting your time and energy when you could be out smelling the flowers. Just my 2 cents. Take it our leave it.

I would rather Sprint worry about getting some decent 3G speeds!

Sprint can't do anything to fix out phones, Samsung needs to take care of that. What I would like to know though, when a customer calls Sprint to complain about a phone though do they pass it on the the maker of the phone or just move on like nothing happened?

Funny thing is when I had my rooted SGS2 and got an LOS I sent a twitter message to Samsung support like someone mentioned. They responded backl to me pretty quickly and said a soft reset will fix it. I then responded back saying it fixes it now but what is the plan so it does't happen again.

They responded pretty quickly again and below is their exact response:

'Please reach out to you service provider, Let me know what they say & we'll proceed from there'

Seriously? How is Sprint going to fix my phone! Instead I reached out to where I bought the phone and get another one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I could only imagine the whining and ridiculous *****ing on here, the Sprint forums, and abroad, if Sprint didn't carry this phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Honestly, in all the years I have had Sprint service, I can remember having issues with service on every Samsung model. I wish Sanyo would put out a sweet smartphone. Every time I had a Sanyo phone, I would have full bars with flawless service while my friends, on the same Sprint network with the current Samsung greatest phone, would be dropping calls and having ****ty service, altogether. Samsung usually has the best looking and most amazing features but, their radios suck dead donkey dicks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
So you fully admit that it's Samsung's phone, complain that Sprint should be responsible and expect Sprint to discount your account for problems that have been known to exist for several generations of Samsung phones?

I mean, just so we're clear here..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Absolutely. It's either the phone's hardware or the software that it is using. I never said otherwise. Samsung strikes a deal with Sprint to sell their phones. Sprint is able to make a profit on service due to the phone they sell. Therefore, both companies profit. I pay $4 every month for service and repair fees and another $4 for insurance, regardless if I have a problem. If I have a problem that needs fixing, it is Sprint's responsibility to fix it or to deal with the manufacturer. If I didn't pay for that service, they would tell me to take it up with the manufacturer. Same goes with any warranted issue on the phone. It is Sprint's responsibility. That is part of the contract. Again, if you don't want to ask for it, don't. If it weren't their responsibility, they would tell me (politely) to **** off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
You're a little confused.

First of all, the insurance cost goes to Asurion. That's not Sprint's money.

Secondly, the other $4 goes to in house repairs, which Sprint is the last carrier to have, and as the abuse continues, is probably going to go extinct.

I

again

ask how you guys expect Sprint to resolve the issue and how you think making Sprint essentially spend money refunding you instead of on their network is helpful to getting this issue fixed[and quickly]?

You guys act like if Sprint told Samsung "we're not going to carry your products unless you fix this issue fast" that Samsung would give a flying ****.

Because they wouldn't. Sprint is nothing to them when it comes to the entire world market.

And finally, getting them to give you a credit on your account isn't admission of anything.

Sprint has their back to the wall.

They have to start growing or they will literally be filing for bankruptcy.

They also have a tarnished image from over the years related to customer service.

They really don't have a choice but to try to keep you happy, even if it's not the "right" thing to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
Then they should not sell phones that don't work on their system. I believe that the Galaxy S2 series works pretty well on GSM carriers. I may be wrong on that but, it's just a sidenote, anyway. I don't see a ton of LOS threads in the Galaxy S II section, though. Not even one jumped up and bit me on the arm. BTW, if they have to file for bankruptcy, it would be the way of a free market. If one ice cream company fails because another one is offering a better product and no-one is buying theirs. That is the way of capitalism. You're obviously trying to push socialism. It's falling on deaf ears.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darkmx2000:
1) Sprint in the last 2 years has shown nothing but positiive growth in acts. And customer service 2) they are in the process of ramping up there network its the same thing that Verizon did before switching to LTE. Yes there 3g speeds are faster (not by much) but nothing to write home about either. There is no threat of Sprint going anywhere but up as far as filing for bankruptcy please you have a better shot of seeing T-Mobile do that then Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
lol....

seriously?

The only one that loses out here, if Sprint doesn't carry the phone, is Sprint.

Who said that wasn't the case?

And no, you have more of a likely that T-mobile will be sold/bought out but Deutsche Telekom isn't going anywhere.

Sprint has a net income of -3.465 billion as of last year.

Think of what that means.

They just announced deals to spend billions on the iPhone and billions on their network.

Yes, they've made some positive strides, but the battle is far from over.

They cannot afford to lose customers or have the positive customer reviews stopped. Period.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
So, you're admitting that Sprint is profiting by selling a phone that does not fully work on their system (and even charging $10 extra for an advertised fast data speed that is flawed and spotty at best)? Just so we're clear...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Best Buy was profiting off Apple iPhone 4's that couldn't be held a certain way or would lose service too.

I didn't see people demanding Best Buy pay reimburse them.

Failed argument.

There's nothing Sprint can do.

If they don't carry the Epic Touch then they lose people to their competitors which all do have a SGS2 phone. [I couldn't imagine the whine on these forums if Sprint didn't have a SGS2]

They can't demand Samsung do anything because Samsung couldn't give a ****.

They aren't a software company so they don't have the software programmers to fix the issue themselves.

I'm still waiting for a

reasonable

solution of what you can expect Sprint to do.

As for the $10 fee, I'll pass on the 423490234389438927536536543874365836 discussion on that. It also has nothing to do with this topic

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] buggerritt:
The reasonable solution is to keep losing money on reimbursements until the problem is solved or recall the lemon phone. That is exactly what is going to happen, too. I really don't care how you feel. The facts are that sprint is giving credit. When the fix is complete, they well have no more reason to. Who are you, anyway? Why would any other user care what your stand is? We already know what it is and we don't all agree. Thank you for the ridiculous soap box, though. Failed argument, indeed. You gain nothing.

Also, Best Buy doesn't offer cell coverage. This is not a valid comparison. Moot point.

Another note: if I decide that i'm unhappy with the service and get out of my contract to go with a more stable carrier, they will lose out on at least one person's $100/month. They are making a wise choice in handling things the way they do. Customer service is a high priority. In my opinion, that is where they are top notch.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Actually its an extremely valid point, just because it doesn't help validate you scamming Sprint over it doesn't make it invalid.

[HTC EVO 3D] ianoob:
The last version did that quite a bit, the update is much better and runs in the background.

If you're on the current version, try deleting the rom manager folder on your sd card.

Can also try deleting and redownloading the app and or clearing the data via settings/apps/manage applications.

If all else fails, send an email to the dev team. Connap is awesome and the whole crew respond immediately.

Good Luck!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
I'm sure this isn't the first time this thread has been made but as time goes on, things change, new updates come out, etc.

I'm an Android user, and something really interests me about WP7, not sure what it is, I really kinda want to try it, but would hate myself if I blew my upgrade on it and it sucked.

Can someone just give me the rundown on what it's like, pros, cons, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmonleo:
From what I see as an ANDROID/WP7 (back 2 future - Yuki&XBMOD) - pro- email account integrations, notifications are seamless and reliable. Camera is ok, better than stock hd2. The Zune account is a cool feature, the temptation to explore all apps really isn't present like in ANDROID. you have to go into the Xbox live app for fun 'n games. My summation, WP7 for work, ANDROID for play and work. (my opinion)

Or you could just get an HD2 and check it out, and save yourself some headaches....(eBay, amazon, Craigslist, etc...)

Quick question

I'm a android user for the past 1 year and I'm a heavy gamer.Will the WP7 fit for me?Where can i get the list of games available for WP7.And what are all the major advantages will i get after the mango update?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.a.v.o.r:
As a complete laiman and just a consumer, these are my thoughts:

With wp you get:

1) stability and fluidity

No matter how many cores the cram in android devices, they always lag and stutter. there is no such thing in windows phone. 6 months and going, i am yet to restart my phone.

2) aesthetics

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but i believe no one with any sense of style and beauty can say that android UI is in any way equal or better than that of the wp.

metro on wp is elegant, clean looking, simple and beautifull. most of the apps that have android equivalents are nicer looking on wp.

3) older hardware

This is a point that matters nothing to me, since all i care is how it works. if wp works fast and fluid on a single core, that's good for me. If someone else really needs dual core chip for the bragging rights, let them have it.

4) no memory expansion

This is the biggest gripe i have with wp. If memory cards were there, i could just transfer my whole music/pictures library to the phone. As it is, i have to be selective.

5) decent selection of apps

There are no hundreds of thousands of apps, but i am lacking nothing. If there are some really important apps for you, you should check if they are present in the marketplace (windowsphoneapplist.com)

6) customization almost non-existent

You can change lockscreen wallpaper, pictures hub background, ringtones and notifications sounds, accent color and choose between white or black background. that's it.

7) im and social networks integration

While i still do not have mango, from what i have seen, this will be huge. Pretty much everyone i know has facebook and/or skype, msn. Having my conversations aggregated in such a way, and not having to remember what i talked to that person on which protocol, is huge for me. And once skype if fully integrated there will be a possibility of having just the data plan.

8) misc

Skydrive is moving in the right direction and i expect them (ms) to soon make it fully integrated.

Finding support and answers to some questions when you walk into a problem is a but pain in the ass.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IM0001:
I will say that after living on Windows Mobile for years and the massive amount of tweaking and fixing you did either for fun or for sanity sake, then giving Android a try (as well as having a Android Tablet (Nook Color) at home to tinker with), WP7 is just fantastic to have to Live With every day. The device does more than enough to satisfy my nerd side, while allowing me to actually get things done on it without the problem of reboots, crashes, slowdowns, etc. It is still missing Tethering for the moment (we all know it's coming but when/where/who bah) but besides that, everything else I do on it works great. Web browsing is a joy, E-mail on it has almost completely kept me off Outlook at home, Office and Xbox integration is great, the selection of apps is large enough to keep me interested and enjoying the quality ones I have, and overall the speed of the phone often times has me turning it on to check and just flick through a few times just for the damn hell of it.

It is a hard device to explain over an Android or iOS device, like you said you just want to try it for some reason, id say Go for it! you get a 30 day trial with almost any carrier I believe, so give it a shot now that Mango is out and see if you like it. You could wait till the HTC Radar and Titan are out and give one of those beast devices a shot with the new front facing cameras, improved rear shooters, and Tethering hopefully.

Hi there!

I am looking for a game, i played "long time ago".

I dont even remember on witch mobile OS i played it,

it could be windows mobile 6, iOS or android (i THINK it was on android...)

I dont rember the name, just some gameplay facts... i hope someone here knows that game-title...

The game was about a small guy, wearing a head, who lost his wife in a "level" befor the action starts.

You controll that guy in with a "touch-scree-controller" through a bunch of levels...

the clue was, that you could "clone" the guy as often as you wanted, to hold down buttons or build stairs (with the clones) to reach higher layers.

The story of the game was very.. lets say "cute".

Plz help me, i dont finde that game anymore and want to play it again :((

"The Company of Myself," and it's a puzzle genre game about a hermit(named Jack)and his life story. Instead of him just telling you the story, you play 20 levels of the game and he slowly, piece by piece (even though he's talking to himself) reveals his story to the player. The story is about how he fell on love with a girl named Kathryn and how he murderer her one day due to his mental illness. However, he can't remember because he has amnesia. ..
