[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxrivertrekker:
I'm getting a loud pop in between songs when using google play music with cm9 and miui thru headset with headset button manager. Also using DSP with the settings turned up pretty much. It doesnt fc or anything just makes u jump! It does skip occasionally too, dunno if thats just from movement tho when biking.

If anyone can suggest a fix or a good music player i can use even if its not free id try it. It has to work good with headset controller tho.

thanks!

A far as the popping sounds go, have you tried different headphones?

Player Pro! I used Poweramp before, it's a really nice player... but Player Pro is still better for my needs :)

Another vote here for PlayerPro. PAmp was eating battery too fast for me. If you get PlayerPro, make sure to get the free DSP Pack. It makes a big difference in sound quality...

[HTC Sensation] jmwils3:
For the most part. Ics bumped our sense version to 3.6, and ports from the one s are sense 4.0. Now I'm sure some people still run it, especially on stock sensation 4gs, since tmobile won't be updating it for another couple months. But here on xda, its long gone. Sorry to burst your bubble, you really did make a beautiful theme. Maybe some of it can be ported to sense 3.6?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
While I cant say that people that brick havent affected the TEP prices, I can say I think a big part of it is sprints fault.

Today I filed my first TEP claim with sprint since I have been with them (late 09-early 10).

My headphones were cutting in and out so I replaced them, and it still happened. I took it to sprint and they said they dont have many parts for our phone.

They didnt even bother to take it apart they just ordered me another phone. This is a waste of money for something like a headphone jack not working, and just giving me another phone. This is the reason the costs are going up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _dan:
Someone told me since these phones are getting so complex little things like replacing the screens would cost them more than ordering a new phone. I might be wrong tho. I remember sprint loved to take apart my og epic. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
Then whats the point of paying techs lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
To wipe your phone and say it's fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 88cavalierz24:
lmao did that alot when i had a mogul and it kept messing up. Remember though they arent just gonna toss your old phone when u get the new one, it will go to a repair facility to get refurbed then out to the next customer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pbassjunk:
Too late now (and it may have voided the warranty trying to fix it), but unless the actual jack was broken, Deoxit probably would have taken care of it.

Love that stuff.

[duh me.. it's a contact cleaner. same stuff that cleans guitar jacks/knobs from all of the bar smoke and spilled beer]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Lol, this thread tickles me.

What do you really think we're going to do with your exchanged phone, just toss it?

Its going back to the warehouse, the jack will be fixed, then shipped to a store. Only difference from it being fixed in store is shipping.

I would be glad if I were you. You know, we could be like Verizon, and say it doesn't warrant an exchange, so instead ship it off to get fixed.

The truth be told, the issue of not having parts for this phone is not a problem, but rather a symptom: sprint doesn't have much money to spend with vendors, and one of the results is that I and all my other fellow techs have had to be very resourceful when it comes to fixing phones; consider we haven't gotten new parts for a phone that is any newer than the EVO Shift
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Stupid double post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
I wasnt complaining, it was more just to state that it seems like a waste of money.

Hell even the bricked phones Im sure they could salvage a lot of it, the screen and other parts would be useful.

I guess when I went into the store I was expecting a on the spot fix. Why dont they keep referbs in store?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
You know, I had a similar thing happen. My soft keys, or whatever they are, werent working very well, so I figured they would replace the screen. The problem was the ribbon cable on the bottom of the screen that connects to the keys. Instead they gave me a brand new phone.....a new one, not a refurb. It had never been activated before.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
TEP isn't going up because of people breaking their phones, it's going up to cover the latest devices being $550+.

Also, what you did isn't a "claim".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
Since you brought up prices, its interesting to point out that I noticed at best buy the retail for this phone is $699 or $749,while the sprint store was $499. I would guess that it is because sprint gets them cheaper because its directly with the manufacturer?

And I said claim because when I looked up the coverage, it says you are allowed up to 3 claims a year I thought. Or is that for like broken screens?

And why wouldn't sprint send my phone for an example to samsung under the 1 year warranty (I think) and save them some money?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abrcrmdl23:
Tep is only going up for new lte devices with a full retail price of $549.99 or higher. It will be $11/mo and a $150 deductable. All current phones will stay at $8/mo and only new lte phones with a msrp lower than $549.99 will stay at the current $8/mo with a $100 deductible
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jhgti:
A. We do keep refurbished phones, but maybe the didn't have one.

B. We harvest the crap out of returns in your case, we will take it apart and harvest everything but the jack and the motherboard.

C. Lately, it seems Samsung has been doing some of their own refurbished , because they come in a different box.

D. Yes TEP is going up thanks to the phones being more expensive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Its also not so much the cost of phones going up. Its the amount of devices at that cost level being sold now. The more high cost phones sold the higher the chance if a high cost claim. Like any insurance they reevaluated and adjusted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agent852:
^^ what he said. I work for Sprint too, i run the largest ASC (repair center) in our region, and the way we work is this: if your phone is broke, we attempt to repair it using either Sprint-supplied parts, aftermarket parts, or parts harvested from devices that were exchanged through the Advanced Exchange program- all of this is covered under TEP, but if you don't have it, we then charge you $35. If we can't fix it, we order a replacement. If it's liquid damaged, smashed, spider-cracked, or lost, w refer you to Asurion to file a claim (which is an extended feature of TEP) and then you pay a deductible. If you bricked it, then it's a case-by-case basis (TIP: dont be a condescending a-hole who knows everything, and don't lie to us).

Some phones we simply can't get parts for from Sprint, so we have to order from a 3rd party (e.g. Global Direct), or rely solely on having a harvest-able device on hand. So when we exchange a device for a customer, we hold onto it for 14 days and we use it to harvest parts from part-for-part as needed, then ship it back to the warehouse. We can't stockpile harvested parts, as we are required to replace the parts we take with the defective ones (or else we get charged back).

Whoever said we just hard reset and say have a nice day must've had a bad experience somewhere, because at our store, we take our work pretty seriously. Our goal isn't to be super-techs, but rather make you so happy that you'll take that survey call that's generated a couple days after the service and answer it with a "very satisfied". Our jobs depend on those customer satisfaction surveys (CSAT's), and any response less than a "very satisfied" is a failing score for the particular tech who fixed your phone. Those CSAT survey scores keep us up at night, and is the bane of our very existence. So please, if we fixed your device, help us keep our jobs. :)

I can't speak for other ASC's, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are a few techs out there who aren't that good, but hey, you get that in EVERY company. Don't go in acting like we need to lick your sack because you're super important and can't be without a phone for the 30 mins we need to work on it. Don't treat us like we're idiots because YOU dropped your phone in a mud puddle. Don't get pissed at us because you forgot your Google account password and expect us to be able to magically figure it out. We want to help you. Help us help you.

But yeah, the price change on TEP is due to the rising cost of the bleeding-edge devices that are coming out, the cost of our Network Vision roll-out, and i am totally guessing here, but to re-coop on the overhead of having unlimited data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Tep is going up because the iPhone came to sprint. Watch for Verizon double data promo to end once iPhone lte comes out. The phone is a game changer for these networks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
He must...I definitely enjoy stockpiling harvested parts at my corporate store ;)

Though, seriously, we need to. Sprint has hung us put to dry with a lack of new parts; bins full of harvested parts is the only way to keep under that exchange rate. Especially with HTC touchscreens lately...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I'm curious, does TEP now cover iPhone? I had the impression when iPhone first came out, TEP wasn't available for it. Then I think a month or so ago, I read rumors that they were planning on having TEP cover iPhone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
No, not at all. Only AppleCare+ is available for the iPhone. Which is fine by me, the less I have to work on that phone the better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i think sprint would be better off without the iphone.....they paid an unnecessary arm, leg, and left testicle for it. If sprint would say the hell with the next iphone, sure it might piss a few people off, but sprint would be better off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agent852:
Yeah we're indirect. That's badass that you can stockpile there, we can't get away with as much because of being an indirect vs retail/corporate. We get drilled with all these audits so we always have to be ready and audit-compliant in case an auditor shows up. I heard you guys just do AE's instore, is that right? We have to order them....

Is it just me, or do the digitizers on the evo 3D fail at very high rate for you too? We ordered some from a 3rd party (global) and they don't come with adhesive or the LED guides for the capacitive touch buttons, so they're useless, i tried some DIY adhesive and it never works right. I wish we could order just the whole front panel like on the evo 4G from NASC :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agent852:
Yes. It depends on if it's the 4 or the 4S and whether or not you're still under the 1yr Applecare but it ranges from $49 to $199 for a replacement. No repairs are ever done by us, we don't have the authorization from Apple to crack their phones open.

Oh and thanks for the awesome one-click odin leaks for ICS on my e4gt, sfhub!! I really hope they incorporate the new TouchWiz on the final build like on the sgs3...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
They still have to pay apple even if they said the hell with it, so it will cost them more because the customer is not offsetting 1/3 the price.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
They don't keep refurbs in the store because it is EXTREMELY easy for the techs to abuse that privilege. (Think: Stealing, fake upgrading, giving out new better phones to your friend/every hot guy/girl that walks in)

Yeah, we tried that at my store, the "lead tech" always stole them, then blamed us. (Luckily my dad was the head tech of the North east so I never got blamed.)

Actually the retail price is higher in best buy to deter you from buying the phone off contract. They make no money selling it out right, whereas the make about $200 per line for every subsidized phone. So they tack on $200 to the MSRP and if you decide to buy it outright, they still make $200.

As we all know, Sprint isn't that smart.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
Thank you!!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cajualfor20:
to address some of the vocabulary

There seems to be a lot of misuse of vocab here along with confusion, at least in regards to the way the tech side of the store functions.

First, ASC m&p is nothing like that of a corporate store, I spent several years in one of the largest in DFW and it is nothing like working for a direct.

Second, Sprint does not _ever_ replace a device with a refurbished device, they are all OEM recon SKU devices. There is a significant difference. OEM Recons failed QA or came from an unactivated ESN and in either case only the motherboard is reused, the rest is new. The biggest reason you have issues with speakers, mics, charge ports etc is due to packaging and care; the parts often loosen and have to be reconnected.

Refurbished devices are rebuilt by a 3rd party company using both new and used parts. Assurion for example provides these to customers when claims are made on irreparable damage.

At one point someone made the comment that part of why repairs are no longer performed is that the cost to replace is actually lower, this is true. It is also a liability for technicians to repair phones. If you come in and your business Blackberry has a loose charge port and I attempt to repair it and damage any other aspects of your phone I am now liable for the lost information.

As far as TEP and the role of technicians go if you knew how much abuse there was to the system you would appreciate the recent changes to the programs. Customers are dirty and dishonest -- 70% -- easily.

Lastly, technicians are more Ready Now specialists than actual techs. They help set up advanced features, reset devices, teach customers how to maintain stability, and help with warranty swaps. This provides a huge relief for reps who have to assist with the sales side that has become increasingly painful and tedious. I work in the 68th highest volume store in the US, typically at 7PM when there is only 1 hour left in the work day we average 10 people in the queue, if technicians were not helping with the warranty / repair side of this we would never go home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
so they are basically stuck in a never ending circle of paying apple ridiculous amounts of money for a phone that probably cost under 200 to make. And on top of that, apple encases the phone is a very breakable glass. Someone needs to be fired for getting the company into this mess
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dog44:
It goes hand in hand with asurion price increases if you look the deductible goes up on asurion claims. Asurion has a monopoly on carrier insurance and can raise prices whenever they want. They probably did it to cover the huge amount of warranty replacements they send because sprint makes them cover it for 30 days after claim, and let me tell you they have the lowest refurb qualities I have ever seen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rican408:
So who has actually confirmed that tep price has risen? I have a galaxy nexus and my tep is still the same..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RedXXII:
It will actually be going up as if June or July I believe. Not in my store at the moment so I'm not exactly sure as to the specific date.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] darkgodz:
corporate repair centers dont have the option for ordering third party parts.

also, parts availablity is also affected by the device manufacturer and their decision if they want us to fix their phones or not.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
If it comes from the Carrier to LG for testing on the phone, then it is a sure bet that the G2x will NOT get ICS, because T-Mobile will not spend the money for a EOL'd device. Just saying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] homerxd:
If its tmobile that is going to do it then they have an incentive in keeping customers happy. Tmobile controlling the rom kind of makes sense, otherwise LG would have kept the rom structure same as optimus 2x to have lower maintanence cost.

Also another point that comes to my mind is, it would be easier for tmobile to upgrade latest possible software

- To keep their customer service call volume low

- Keep their staff updated with latest software as future devices are going to have ics and above.

- As long as customers are in contract...they keep on calling about phone problems...so they would rather have those calls on ics as it can improve their employee training and ics might resolve some intrinsic problems that gingerbread has there by reducing call volume.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spitfire:
With no definitive dates given, I have a hard time believing it. The devs here have done so much good stuff on ICS with zero support from LG/TMO, so as soon as the O2X gets this update, we will be golden.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The LG rep is totally incorrect on how this process works. Carriers do not write their own roms, except in a few rare, isolated cases (i.e., CinBell and the Moto XT720). LG creates the rom per carrier requirements (i.e., how much crapware they want included, whether to enable sideloading of apps, etc.) and then sends the rom to the carrier for testing and approval. Once the carrier signs off on the rom then LG finalizes it and makes it available to the carrier for OTA update and also gets permission from the carrier to put it on the LG Updater. (Most AT&T LG roms are allowed by AT&T to be included on the LG Updater. OTA updates are less likely to brick a phone than the dreaded LG Updater crapware. Instead AT&T puts the OTAs on their update servers for life. Recently I got an AT&T Phoenix sent to me in Thailand and did the OTA update direct from AT&T over my wifi connection without an AT&T sim in the phone). LG reps who claim the carriers write the firmware first have their heads up their a$$es.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
@jboxer wanted to say this but wasn't 100% sure, but this gives me the comfort to say it, AGREED!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
This.

I don't think I have ever seen a customer rep say so much bull**** with so few words. Does LG not train their reps to be accurate or consistent?

The HTC Sensation ICS update was supposed to be released a couple of weeks ago and then it got delayed. The story goes the HTC presented Tmobile the ROM for testing and Tmobile found bugs in it so they sent it back. So Tmobile makes ROMs for some phones but not others?
