You're correct. I have the stones to admit I'm wrong. I've edited my post, my apologies for that.

I think we can just agree that the OP is an idiot and move on ;)

It's cool, i'm sure you just didn't notice, i do it too. :) And i definitely agree, XDA is going downhill sadly...
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
I was replying through my phone (not the XDA website). I should have read your post as well as what you were quoting.

It's unfortunate what's happening to XDA, but should you try to preserve what it used to be in any way, you end up getting a Hate Fan Club that follows you around. Just wait and see, I'll bet they'll be here soon to heckle me :rolleyes:

I just saw your sig, how you liking the white 3D? You should go back to radio shack and tell em you want a new one because they updated it and you said not too, i'd demand a new one, or just return it and go to a different radio shack, you do have 14 days i believe.

I like the color. Working on a nifty hardware mod for my phone. That and I decided to just HTC root it, and just deal with fastboot'ing USB for kernel flashes. No splash screen changes doesn't bother me any.
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
Does the white chip off easily like the og? My brother had the white and it chipped like crazy and the red underneath looked ugly.

Nah. It's this odd raised texture that's fairly hardy unlike the original which was smooth. Still have a case on it though.

I WAS NOT TORRENTING WITH MY PHONE...please let that go. I WAS torrenting with my Overdrive and don't give a crap that they terminated that. I was just browsing torrents from my phone and sending them to my computer.

UPDATE TODAY:

They charged an Early Termination Fee ($200) and are claiming that my phone was never going to be terminated (have a notification from them that says otherwise). I transferred my phone line to Verizon back when I got the notice.

In regards to the Overdrive, they now claim it was terminated (no fee, btw) because I was roaming with it all the time. I ONLY used it on 4G (not a single byte of 3G) and I don't see how you can roam 4G????
[HTC EVO 3D] awenthol:
Not trolling...just stuck with a company BlackBerry now, and have no reason to come back to this site, sadly. I miss Android like no other, but my company won't allow them. :(

To reiterate...no torrenting on my phone, just my Overdrive. I'm not complaining that my overdrive was terminated, because I welcomed the lack of termination fees.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
This whole thing is crazy...
[HTC EVO 3D] awenthol:
You're telling me...very tempted to just get a lawyer at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
If I remember correctly, it is specifically mentioned in your contract with Sprint that you are not allowed to use their network for anything to do with torrents. I don't have the exact verbage available ATM but if someone wants to look it up it's there
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
From what I have read this is true. I couldn't find whether it explicitly forbids p2p, or it implicitly forbids p2p. Whether it does or not, the contract uses a cover all clause for data. Official wording from Sprint’s contract is “you can’t use our data Services:

(1) with server devices or host computer applications, or other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions; and (2) as a substitute or backup for private lines or frame relay connections. We reserve the right to limit, suspend or constrain any heavy, continuous data usage that adversely impacts our network performance or hinders access to our network”.

I mean, that pretty much puts the nail in the coffin. P2p definitely falls under that clause in the contract even if it doesn't explicitly state anywhere that p2p is forbidden.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
You will probably spend more on a lawyer than just letting this one go. Especially since you were no angel to begin with.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
That is a fact. Even if you represent yourself in small claims court the court fees alone will make the effort pointless. The burden of proof falls on you and not sprint. Since you clearly broke the terms of your agreement the judge is going to see you as one more person that feels entitled to unlimited freedom. While I can't completely condemn your actions, I also can't advise you to do anything else but let this go. If you want to stick it to them, cancel all your service and avoid paying the etf. The consequence will be a hit to your credit, but you could attempt a claim on your credit report stating their fault for the etf, credit bureaus tend to side more with consumer than collectors because of the shady industry. Good luck

Apparently a new reason is downloading from torrent sites. I was told it was for unattended downloads. I know they were not able to know if I was actually using the torrent and downloading, but they were able to see that i visited the site. Sprint assumes I used the torrent in a traditional way and got to 48GB of data that way.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If your downloading pirated stuff then yes they see what you are doing.. You will get a notice in the mail same goes for your home network if your data usage is way up there and they see where your IP has been going.

If your doing some crazy stuff then the feds will show up nothing new....

Anyways watching youtube or anything else doesn't matter they don't care they just don't want you downloading pirated stuff.. To save them from getting in trouble along with your self...

Some rules goes for torrents since alot of pirated stuff comes in torrent wise.

They know if you are torrenting illegal items as they will get notices from the owners of the copyrighted material showing your IP was downloading/uploading copyrighted material and they will trace that IP to your phone and hopefully kick your ass of my network.

Same thing happens when you download illegal/copyrighted torrents from your home network. Your ISP gets the same letters.

I just got that letter for steaming netflixs and hulu too much using my wifi tether...."unlimited" data i guess
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
If this is true, I wonder if the data format from Netflix & Hulu mobile differs from the Desktop version... For Christ sake, it doesn't make a difference if you do it on the phone or desktop... its still a move, and its still going to be about the same amount of data...

SOPA and PIPA are bad, but all this drama about utilisation of Internet on mobile phones needs to end, I'm sick and tiered of them selling us phones that are fully Internet enabled and them limiting us.

And before I get flamed, yes I have worked for a Mobile ISP, France Telecom (Orange) as the Network Security Manager. I know what it takes to have enough bandwidth to feed the masses, but I also know that the reality of mobile communication in the US is soooo in the stone age its not even funny. Companies here are more focused in profits other than investing in their own network and customers.

Got a letter a little over a week ago about data usage, 10 days to comply. Called them yesterday, amount of data wasn't an issue, p2p/torrent sites were the issue. CSR told me basically stay off those sites that have anything to do with bittorrent.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Is this on the sprint network or on roaming?
[HTC EVO 3D] cgt:
Sprint network.....
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I call total B.S. Having worked for Sprint I can say that by the time you got to 20gB your account would have been up for review and you would have been terminated near instantly by the time you hit 70gB in November.

On top of that you would have to be running 102kb/s constantly for the entire month of December, 24/7 to get to the numbers your at. Unless your numbers are in Bytes not bits and then you would have to be at 800kb/s.

I'm usually not a skeptic, but proof or it didn't happen.

right or wrong it is what it is. sucks your stuck with the etf.oh and hey budddddy if you get that 30 mill holla at me homie i will believe whatever you say.....
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
I'm surprised that YOU are surprised that your ISP can see the sites you go to. I mean really that surprises you? For those who don't know your ISP can see all the sites you go to and they track your PC/Phone whatever via your MAC address not you IP address. Your PC MAC is ALWAYS the same and no two devices have the same address. That said you could clone a MAC address if you know what your doing.

No bs, I will snag a screenshot when I get home tonight. And yes, work and home is 4G area with 3 bars most of the time. My numbers are nothing, ppcgeeks had a member with a screenshot of a few megs shy of 1tb.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Ah ok if it's 4g too then I can believe it.... I get something like 1 megabyte per second on 4g.
[HTC EVO 3D] cgt:
I didn't look at my usage until I got the recent letter which stated any violations after 10days could result in termination. They called within that 10day period to go over the details of the letter and the sites that are not allowed (any bittorrent site). So, I've been laying low on the downloading the last few days with no torrents......
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
You are using the 4G on the phone so there is no way to use a vpn? You are using a computer with tether right? Can't you search your torrents on a wifi network, then use btguard in utorrent and tether that over 4G? They just don't want you looking up torrents on torrent websites? I am confused
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronagis:
Ive never used any torrents on sprint, not even a heavy data user, and I got a letter from sprint last week. Then they have called twice this week... I only use >5 GB's a month and never have much roaming at all as I use a sprint prl. IDK WTF
[HTC EVO 3D] cgt:
I can go without torrents, not that big of a deal to risk terminating a contract over. From what I understood I can't use their service with p2p/bittorent apps, also the fact that it violates their data TOS.

What did the letter say specifically? Did you call them on it? I asked the rep if I should watch my data usage, she said no, stay away from the bittorent/p2p use on their network.
[HTC EVO 3D] xavier86:
Lesson learned? Download modestly. Don't attract attention to your self.

When I'm not using netflix I seldomly go over 700mb with hooking into WiFi at home instead of the network.

Those bandwith numbers? Yea that's constant pulling and pushing. Addiction yes?

Wow you're retarded. 200 gigs? Lol and 1 TB? Just saying. This is why we can't have nice things. Like cheaper cell phone bills...more data for everyone...etc...etc...

[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
If you are not following the rules in your contract, which you signed, and we all know that you are not, I think it gives us a a little right to be a little pissed off at users like you that in the long run will probably ruin it for the rest of us that follow the rules and use our phones as they are intended to be used for.

I'm glad you guys can use data like that at your house. Data speeds in Central Florida is disgraceful since right around the time iphone launched.

Central Florida is spotty, to say the least. I live in Orlando near Universal Studios, and I get between 800kbps - 1mbps on typical days on 3G. Sometimes, I'll get less, like during peak hours. My 4G is spot on though. I'll pull between 3 - 5 mbps, and sometimes higher. Here's what I got on 4G just now at my office which is over near John Young Pkwy and Central Florida Pkwy. Keep in mind that's a single bar 4G connection. It's usually higher as I get closer to my house:
[HTC EVO 3D] chROMed:
That's good speed for sprint, polk county area is horrible and of course we have no 4G here :-(. Bigger cities like Tampa, ft myers, Orlando, Jacksonville all seem to have decent data speed. Sprint seems as though they've pulled the plug on all other areas other than major metro areas. Have a friend that just went to Verizon because of that issue, sprint retention blamed it on his phones. I know better.

Tho to clear things up for the OP any site you go to even on your home network... The network provider can always tell what sites you are on.. They don't spy on you but if you go to a hack site to download pirated stuff movies and what not.. You will get a warning letter among the same thing from sprint.. They watch for stuff like that..

If you don't stop they will terminate you..
[HTC EVO 3D] nadomars:
Exactly! I'm getting sick of their slow speeds, but nobody else truly offers unlimited. Then again, T-Mobile's throttling after using up your cap is probably the same speed as Sprint's network, haha :(

Just to bring this thread back on track, Today I received a call from sprint warning me about visiting torrent sites on the network. He said my account has been flagged and it will be monitored from here on out. He simply said it was flagged from visiting possible torrent sites. Not actually using them.

This weekend I was out of town and really wanted to watch the ufc event but I missed it so i visited a site that claimed they had the ufc event. I believe that is what triggered my account to be flagged. It sucks because I feel if I even visit a site one more time I will be kicked off. Can anyone tell me if I should be legitimately worried?? If they eventually terminate me has anyone been successful in convincing them to change there mind?
