[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] og.blaah:
I did the early upgrade for $50, that was put on my bill...had an old iphone 3gS 16g, and my old evo 4g. Traded them in and my out of pocket was $37.

:D

Also, I was not at a corporate store. I called customer service from the store. They started to give me the "you have to be at....." Just ask to speak to their supervisor.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Alex210:
Tried again, talked to account services and was told there was no buyout programs running now. Just my luck.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JDM Civic EG8:
Call retentions they will offer you the buyout program.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 00mred00:
Calling retentions is the only way to get this right now. At the store we have no way of adding/allowing this UNLESS your account was randomly selected and it shows on your account.

edit..."rumor" has it there will be a national roll out of this program later this month...for all customers :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] etherealglimpse:
Hmm I only have 1 week left. Called and they said I'd have to wait the week. If I switch to tmobile, I'll have to pay ETF with sprint right? damn, my phone broke, so now im impatient. What a conundrum.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EricSS619:
What its retentions number? I tried calling them last week and it went to sprints normal recorded message center
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OMGBrowniez:
I called today and what they offered me basically was to move my upgrade eligibility to today for 100 bucks. Then the rep suggested that because contract is up in january I could just pay the ETF of 70 bucks as well as it'd be cheaper. Then he suggested waiting till the next billing period as both the buyout promo and etf fee would probably go down to 50 bucks. Since amazon right now has the 4g LTE for about 99 bucks I'm gonna consider adding a line then killing my old one once the etf goes down...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GiantJay:
I was told the last six months its a $50 etf. Not sure if that is 6 months from 24 months and the full upgrade or 20 months?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mick3444:
Does anyone know of this still works?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Enzopreme:
Best buy and radio shack also have it for $99 and you don't have to wait for shipping! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshhud:
I tried doing this and i was told i am not eligible. My contract expires in February 2013. I tried to do it in late August i believe. Well i am waiting for the Note 2 and ill try again when that comes out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpratt0310:
Keep calling, I just did this last Saturday and bought the phone on Tuesday. The sales rep even made a note to where it wasn't mandatory for me to upgrade at a Sprint store.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robbzilla:
As far as I know, that's changed:

http://www.pocketables.com/2012/06/...h-new-more-expensive-upgrade-now-program.html
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kidstechno:
Just FYI, I have about 7 months left on my contract (Feb 2014) and I spoke to an online rep who said my ETF would be about $220 or $240.

Do you have to give the phone back or is that just cancelling the service contract?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yayyay:
No, you do not have to give the phone back. By buying out the rest of your contract you are essentially buying the ability to upgrade phone earlier.

This is not the same as canceling you contract and is not the same as an etf.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GiantJay:
Why would you pay so much to get a early upgrade. It doesn't make sense. Just sell your phone and buy off contract on Swappa.com or Best buy. Best buy will match places like Amazon for off contract phones. Just a suggestion Sprint is the worst place to go through for stuff like this. They will charge as much as possible and try to get your old phone for a fraction of what its worth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
Really? I went to the best buy website and it would only offer me $30 for my evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GiantJay:
And how much will sprint give you?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MARIO SHARK:
Sprint is giving me $83, but maybe you're right about buying out the contract thru best buy. Do you mean that if I want to make the early upgrade, best buy won't charge me as much as sprint will?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GiantJay:
No, I was starting that buying a contract out is a rip off. Why not just get rid of your current phone and buy the new one at full price. It might not be much more then buying the contract out and getting a new phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
Plus you can use that upgrade in a year if you don't do it now. Early upgrade fee plus new phone is never worth it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bennyboy78:

[General Questions and Answers] Ripley:
Who do you recommend? Experience based on claims, thanks

I'm with CUSC but i've never had to claim, so i've no idea what they're like
[General Questions and Answers] vasp3690:
id like to ask a question.

i sent an email to insurance2go asking something about their small print, which i later realised that all companies do it.

When they say: accidental damage, their inclination of damage, is literaly total damage, that the phone wont turn on, or the screen is shattered etc.

if you drop the phone and catch it half way ending up with a few scratches or a minor crack on the screen and send it off for repairs, the insurance company wont cover it, because they will say its: cosmetic damage and 9/10 companies do not cover that.

So in other words, if you drop your phone, you better hope its totally thrashed so that you may get the insurance to repair/replace it.

Also, they never seem to pay money. They always say: repair or replace with the similar/same/new or refurbished handset.

Why not give the money of the value of the phone at the time of damage and let me decide how to replace it?
[General Questions and Answers] Ripley:
So if you drop it, and the damage is bad but the phone still works, drop it again from even higher.
[General Questions and Answers] darthseven:
yeah, sad, but thats what you have to do
[General Questions and Answers] Ripley:
Well I went with Protect Your Bubble in the end. Cue a barrage of bad experience posts...but I don't care, every company has disgruntled customers
[General Questions and Answers] imcat:
Waste of money. If you have home contents insurance it will usually be covered under there.

MHL is Connection the One S to TV over HDMI?
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
As I posted above, yes our phones will work with a MHL adapter and the one that I got is pretty damn cheap but it does exactly what you expect of it, don't go and waste £70+ on one when you can get a MHL adapter for about £5, which does exactly the same thing essentially. If you looked at my above post with a link to another website and through the the thread that KT linked, you will have seen my mini review of the MHL adapter that I got along with a video demonstrating it :p:

MHL from Monoprice USA, excellent stuff!

In the USA I use monoprice for all of my cables and adaptors, they are awesome and inexpensive. Their quality is excellent and the description is uaually very accurate.

Edit: It was $12 and change shipped, supports 7.1 audio, SWEET!

I have to agree with you on this, monoprice is THE place to buy any cable or connector you need online. Their selection and price cannot be beat.

yea idk why but the whole time i was reading about it and all that i was under the assumption we wouldn't have to plug our phones in for it to work cause having to plug a HDMI wire into a box and then a micro from the box to our phones just feels like too much to mirror a phone lol

but i might just get the cheap one just cause it's like 12 bucks lol
[HTC One S] KT:
Thank you for introducing me to monoprice. Think I've found the right spot to buy all my cables and adaptors for sure :)
[HTC One S] kingohearts2005:
You actually don't have to connect the device to the media link adapter. The purpose of the adapter is to make your tv a dlna device. Kind of like the ps3. The difference is the ps3 and your phone have to be on the same network. With the media link adapter, as long as you have an HTC device capable of doing so, you can wirelessly stream your files through the device to tv. Come on, you didn't really think they would charge $130 for a device that still required you to have a cable running to the tv basically.
[HTC One S] soulcrusher:
Dealextreme.com has tons of mhl adapters and they're cheap, including free shipping. Not sure about quality though, still waiting for mine.
[HTC One S] stunner2002:
to be clear:

there is the MHL micro USB Port. You plug a MHL adapter to your phones USB input.

You have to plugin your powersupply into the MHL adapter. Now you have your phone mirrored to your TV.

the Media Link / HD:

The Media Link (H100) and the Media Link HD (H200) are somekind of WLAN DLNA adapters for your TV. You configure your WLAN settings by using a PC or Mac. (you can also use a instant sync to your phone by pressing the botton on the device)

Now you can make a 3 finger-flic on your device and the screen is mirrored to your TV. I dont know if you can also do this with the older version (H100) but if you are starting a movie or diashow you can switch to Homescreen on your device and use is as usual while streaming media to your TV.

The main difference between H100 and H200 is that the H100 supports 720p and the H200 is good for 1080p. Both devices need a powersupply. Because of its also a DLAN device you can stream media from your PC or Mac to your TV.

i'm searching for an alternative device to the H200 but i dont think there is none which is capable of all the features the H200 brings with.

Couple of noob-ish questions...

In the rooted Tmo thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1654347

there is a flashable zip, and an RUU... what's the difference?

Looks like one has to have the latest firmware if we want to use the zip.. makes me wonder .. how does this work for the OTA folks.. ie. is there a way to do an all-in-one update for those still on S-OFF/rooted GB ROMs?

thanks,

Mike
[HTC Sensation] CTR01:
Ruu is installed on the phone when the phone is connected to a computer since they are usually .exe (executable) file.

A zip file is put on the sd card of the phone and flashed/installed via recovery...for us its through cwm (clockworkmod).

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
I believe the RUU in that thread contains everything you would need to update from GB to ICS (ROM, firmware, and hboot update)...if you run that you will need to root again, flash recovery, and you will have a locked bootloader i believe.

I wish someone would post an all in one for us GB folks...its kinda funny, it seems everyone and their mother believe everyone to be on ICS, when in fact there is a large number of us still running GB, what a false assumption.
[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
hmm, it sounds like there is more in the RUU than I'd want (already rooted and S-OFF).. and not as much as I'd like in the ZIP (ie. could I get firmware and ROM all in one shot??) :) LOL, life is always this way :)
[HTC Sensation] htcsens2:
yes i am on stock gb and want to move to the rooted version of the tmobile ics update. My reading so far indicates that the rooted version does not have a radio rom, and i find no guide on how to flash just the official ics ota radio rom.
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
I got tired of waiting for someone to post an all in one...so here is what i did.

I flashed the 3.32 tmobile firmware package (posted somewhere here) which also included revolutionary hboot 1.27 (i didnt know that till i flashed it), so with one flash you get your upgraded firmware and upgraded hboot

all thats really left to flash is the official tmobile ICS zip file which is also rooted already, and blamo your on ics

as far as radios go, the official ICS RUU did not include a new radio, i dont know if that 3.32 firmware package also had the ICS radio
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Nice to see you're not relying on others to do work for you!

However, the RUU does indeed include a radio (11.69A). The firmware you flashed also includes a radio(11.69). The rom you flashed has RIL's that match the 11.69A radio so right now you have unmatched your radio. You need to go to the radio and ril thread and flash the correct radio (11.69A) or flash the ril's that match your current radio (11.69).

The "all in one" package IS the RUU. Firmware is NOT flashed through recovery. The only way to flash them all together is by use of either an RUU or a PG58IMG.zip, and both are flashed through the bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
lol, i shoulda just let the others do the work. Whats the consequence of having "an unmatched radio".
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Poor battery life and/or abnormal behavior...

No big deal. Radios and ril's can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

The radios flash through bootloader, and the ril's flash through recovery. ;)
[HTC Sensation] banderz777:
When I ran the RUU ICS the radio was 11.69A and the Ril was HTC-RIL 4.0.0024HMQ..... I checked it with CIDGetter???

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Y_Yan_C:
Dear All,

I am from Hong Kong, and got my asian Razr Maxx for almost 2 weeks now, I have found that I am unable to go back to stock by using motorola's stock factory reset option. Every time I first boot after I "restored" with my device, ADW Launcher EX will be its stock launcher ( i have installed it previously), and that my black multi-touch keyboard is gone. Also, my root would remain.

It just won't go back to how i unwrap it from the plastic wrappings. I tried flashing the asian stock rom though cwm, however it will say "installation aborted" when i tried installing the rom zip from sd card.

I really want to go back to stock, anyone have any idea how I should fix this?

installed safestrap recovery

performed system backup before doing anything else

flashed eclipse

later realised that my battery wouldnt charge, so i tried to restore the backup of the stock rom........ and thats when everything went to hell!

tried to restore with safestrap in safe mode, no dice

took it out of safe mode, started getting restoration errors, tried to put it back into safemode, and it wont go back into safe mode,

now phone boots and stays stuck at moto logo dualcore technology screen

going to use rsd lite, but dont know what file to download for it because none of the ones provided in the stock rom section look even remotely close to what i need,

does anyone know where i can find and download 6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US

or anything i can do to fix my phone? i cant even turn the damn thing off, when i get it to shut off, it just reboots itself all over again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ninetwozero:
Hello world!

Anyone out there got their hands on one of those KiDiGi HDMI docks for Galaxy Nexus? The reason I'm wondering is that I can't seem to get it to sync, but I reckon I must've missed something vital.

The device gets charged, but somehow the cradle won't talk the talk, and the phone itself won't detect being plugged in on a cradle. Results: I can't connect to adb! :(

Any ideas on a) if this dock actually supports syncing as a lot of retailers state, and b) what needs to be done for this to function properly?

Thanks in advance! :-)

Link to the cradle in question: http://www.amazon.co.uk/KiDiGi-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Charging/dp/B00741B94E
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wotsup:
I have the Kidigi HDMI cradle for the Samsung Note and can confirm that syncing is not possible with my cradle either. I can confirm that the Kidigi dock with second battery charge slot (for the Note) allows syncing, but obviously no HDMI out.

To be fair, the official Kidigi site doesn't specify that the HDMI dock allows syncing.

I am guessing that the Nexus cradle will be similar.

Hope this helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Warwickeo:
"with USB Charging"

HDMI out + USB sync is not possible. So this dock is actually a big MHL-adapter.

Hey all!

You sure all know blubber's 3-dot-remover Patch..

I use it to remove this annoying bar on the screen's bottom when using a "old"-non -ICS-app with the menu-long-press-home configuration, because I use multitasking a lot, and just want the home fix for the old apps.

However, in blubber's first Aroma-version of the 1.29.xxx.x patch, it worked wonderful, an the NEW ICS MENU BUTTON in the ACTION BAR, which i love a lot, was still there.

Sadly, in the newer version it is gone :(

As I didn't know that when updating to the patch's new version, I deleted the "old" version.. :(

So, my question is, does anyone know how to get the ICS-MENU back, or does anyone still has the "old" version of the patch and can upload it for me?

That would be really awesome!:) Thanks.

Just recently got the mini. I often accidentally end the calls due to the position of the four corner launcher during call. Is there a way to disable it and use vanilla gingerbread call screen (i.e. the one in Samsung?). Or is there any setting to have "long press" for ending call instead of just click?

Now I'm trying some call replacement apps (Ultimate Call Screen HD Free). It's working but it does not look as "refined" as sony one. Wonder if I can replace with "stock" gingerbread dialer....

I didn't root my phone yet. It came with .62 firmware and I'm still don't have time to downgrade and root. I guess if ICS comes out, it will probably change the call interface as well.

The answer is simple - your phone is alive and demands attention.

On a serious node: It happend to me on random phones: Xperia Arc S running stock gingerbread, Xperia Arc S after upgrading to 4.0, HTC Desire Z pre and post 4.0, on a number of different ROMs (but all based on CM7 and CM9), also it woke up on a Motorola Milestone using CM7 and CM9 based ROMs. Only thing I can recall is that the motorola NEVER woke up when I was runnning a stock 2.1 Eclair on it. But it did woke up a couple of times on stock 2.2 Froyo. My guess is, google code somewhere when we won't even bother to look. Probably.
