[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coolblue830:
I had my $36 waived. It's the least they can do to keep me happy with my 3G flagship phone while waiting for an LTE network that has no definite ETA.

In fact, when my contract came up, I called the accounts (retentions) department and asked them flat out what they can offer me to stay because I was considering another carrier who had a LTE network right now. This waiver and another credit was what was promised me. Sprint needs to man up and keep their customers happy right now, not the other way around.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
Again, wrong. I paid full MSRP and still found an activation fee on my account.

Just because they all do it doesn't mean it's ethical. And it is absolutely them nickel and diming every customer.

It is not costing them $36 to provide the ability to activate the phone online.

This is an example of how companies f*ck people, and it surprises (and disgusts) me that some of you are saying we should all bend over willingly. The U.S. would be a territory of Great Britain, still, if it was full of people like you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
Sounds like too much work and worry over $36 man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
Two emails and a couple missed phone calls to express my disapproval of their practices? Worth it to me. I think you simply overestimate the effort it took to type the two emails that got it escalated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
It's a fee that comes with activating the phone, get over it, over the course of your contract it's $1.50 a month.

They are only playing hardball because just about everyone called to have it waived in the past. Getting it waived was a privilege, not a right, a privilege that no longer exists. You didn't have to upgrade to a new phone, you didn't have to activate it on their network.

If you don't like it, quit whining and go to a carrier that doesn't have an activation fee......oh wait.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
@Modplan, If you feel it's alright to charge this fee, then by all means continue to pay it without disputing. For the rest of us who feel this fee is bogus, we will do what we can to not be charged.

Lets agree to disagree.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
Who said anything about hardball? I sent two emails and a guy from corporate Sprint started calling (and unfortunately, missing me every single time).

You can go ahead and roll over and pay everything they want you to pay. When you give an inch, companies will take a foot. Compliance is exactly what they want, so they can keep taking your money.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
We shall all also stop paying fees to our banks, electrical companies, and cable providers. NO FEES!!!!! :p

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

They gave you an inch when they let you get the fee waived in the past, now you are the one trying to take a foot :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
I use a bank that doesn't have any fees... and if they start charging fees, I'll switch to ING Direct, which also has no fees. I closed my Chase account when they charged me $6 for not using it enough.

I'll bet your bank and every other company you get a bill from absolutely loves you. lol You're the perfect little sheep.

Hello, genius who makes assumptions. When did I ever say I've had fees waived in the past? (Hint: I never said it, because it's not true.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
Yep, and so do the credit bureaus, I pay my bills for the services I agreed to receive. :D

You knew the fee was coming, you upgraded anyways, so suck it up and pay for it or don't upgrade if you can't afford the $36 or feel you are being financially violated or whatever, it's that simple, you act like it was a surprise and you have been scammed...

I've had the fee waived on every single Sprint activation for over 10 years, until this one. It was fun while they allowed it, but it's over, and I'm not crying about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
I was actually told my a Sprint rep that, if I activated it myself online, there'd be no activation fee.

And regarding your credit comment, when I use a form of credit, the APR is known to me, and I pay it as agreed. When a company has charged a fee with which I don't agree, they lose my business. That doesn't impact my credit. The bottom line is that this "service" for which we're being charged does not cost Sprint anything. ANYTHING. You clearly think it's ok for companies to bring in revenue from your pocket even when there's no cost to them, so I'm done with this argument - you're not worth the effort (which has been far more than I've spent complaining to Sprint, ironically enough) and your beliefs are atrocious to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Here’s what it comes down to. Sprint has been losing customers for ages, and they have no money. They’ve been increasing fees so that they can get more money to build the network, offer unlimited data, and offer devices at competitive pricing. The upgrade fee used to be $18 and you were able to get it waived in most cases. All of the other carriers had upgrade fees that were much higher. Sprint raised this specific fee to bring it into alignment with what the other carriers were charging. There’s your free market at work. Is it a BS fee? Of course it is. Most fees are. Can you go to another carrier that doesn’t have upgrade fees? No.

Having said that, I also called sprint right before I upgraded and was able to get a month of service credited to my account in exchange for a new contract.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
Then Sprint should lose your business, like you said.

The best way to protest is with your wallet. Go somewhere else (prepaid carriers might not have a activation fee, I'm not sure).

You knew about the activation fee, and if it was that big of a deal to you, you shouldn't have agreed to it. Just as if you do not feel a product is worth the price, you do not buy it. Whining about it afterwards is near pointless. You may fight tooth and nail to get it removed this time, but Sprint is obviously becoming more strict about it, and there will come a time where you want to upgrade and face this whole dilemma again. If you feel so strongly, protest by going without a phone or searching for a carrier that does not charge what you feel are worthless fees.

If you were truly lied to, you have every right to be infuriated, but you also had (or have) 14 days to return the device, cancel your contract, and get a full refund and move on instead of crying on the internet to strangers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bharris25:
Just asking them to waive out should be enough as long as you're an existing customer in good standing. They waived mine when I got my og Evo and this time I didn't even have to ask, when I asked the guy at the sprint store to waive the activation he said I had to do that later, then was like "looks like the system already waived it for you"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mthii:
Hey man you really need to chill, and you keep missing the point being made here. Saving $36 by spending 2-3 minutes on the phone, before upgrading your device, and kindly asking for fee waiver as a courtesy for years of service does not violate any man laws and doesn't qualify as being a weasel. Going out of your way to cry about it after the fact like you're entitled to get anything you want for no good reason is downright sad, I give you that.

But... if that's your point, then why are you whining IN CAPS on the Internet about people saving money and trying to use the man card on complete strangers from behind a keyboard? Don't you think maybe, just maybe, you're defeating your own argument? Nah, who am I kidding... that adolescent attitude is the definition of manning up.

Ridiculous...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mthii:
Touche. Although, being that the phone itself sold as cheap as sub-$200, any kid with a part time job can afford a flagship phone these days, lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eXplicit815:
Let's talk about those rising TEP prices, huh?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sracercelica:
"What's that Sprint? You want me to give you my business for 2 more years? Sure, ok. Wait what? I have to pay you $36 for you to take my money for 2 years?"

Idk, but to me it makes no sense!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
There are followers.... and there are leaders... Which one are you?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tnman7:
I got struck down on getting the upgrade fee waived but I did get a $20 credit. something better than nothing, evidently they are cracking down on waiving the fees. Guess they are getting you ready for next years $200-$300 upgrade fees that will be new and improved.

Me, Im looking forward to participating in the class action law suit when they get sued for charging every account $10 for LTE service that does not exist!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
Jesus Christ. :crying:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Really? You're going there? Tell you what, you show me any official sprint document, ad, offer, whatever, that says the $10 is for your LTE service, and I'll PayPal you $10 to pay that fee next month.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kbrn:
Humm I purchased my photon and it had never been activated before and I did the online swap and never got charged for an activation fee.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lloydw82:
i called Sprint today, while under my upgrade grace period. They said that they couldnt waive my upgrade fee. I said i want to cancel my service. the woman transferred me to a very sweet lady, that was like you been a customer for 8 years, i dont want to loose you as a customer. I will have that waived for you. The credit will take about 72 hours to credit to your account. It took about two hours,and i got the email saying it was credited to my account.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Folks calling in for credits need to do so to the account services dept. Regular customer service will tell you to go pound sand.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] colinsncrunner:
Well, I bought an Epic off of Craigslist for my wife and activated it (she had the Moment beforehand. Eesh). We didn't get charged an activation fee. I also just bought my Evo off of Amazon for $149, didn't get charged an activation fee when I activated it online (even though I was expecting one) and still somehow have my upgrade capability for a new phone. I think I might have slipped through the cracks of this SNAP program.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Curb71:
was as easy as calling the 6111 number (search for it) and getting to the "cancel service" prompt and verifying it was Account services and saying I was told me activation fee would be waived and It's on my bill. he said no problem, its waived.

But just 1 question, I don't want to delete the email app, so if I use Notepad+, can I edit your uninstall script?

I'm not a dev, and I don't know how to, but I know it's possible. Just don't know what to edit..

EDIT:

I think I made it myself, in the 'Google' folder (in 'com') I found a file called 'binary-script' and opened it with WordPad and deleted the line that said delete email apk.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
So who thinks they have them playing nice with each other? I'm running Erik miui with both installed but one is always overtaking the other. I prefer voodoo bass boost over dsp and would always trash dsp in favor if the tw music player/EQ; however, with miui i don't think this is an option. the miui music eq doesn't seem to be as crisp on the high end as dsp nor is it optimized for our device (hence the distortion at high gains). thoughts, suggestions, experiences?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
I use voodoo only on unnamed. The sound quality is better without dsp for me. I tried all sorts of settings combinations, voodoo only, dsp only, both together, in the end I always uninstall dsp.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Bass

The only way I've been able to use them in combo is by not applying anything other then the volume key hack from voodoo. Works great for me since I prefer that from voodoo and bass and equalizer from DSP. If you set up the bass on Voodoo and the EQ on DSP they will not play nice as you've found out. It's a one or the other type of thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
I have both on Val Final. I haven't had any problems yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
So glad no one said "just use poweramp" :)

on unnamed I too just rip out dsp.

the dsp eq sets the bass gains too high without any sort of limiter for our hardware. I think that is what makes it so distorted at louder volumes
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
How'd you put dsp on Valhalla? In running Hebrew Valhalla but I miss having dsp. Its nice messing with it's eq when I have new headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Pull it from a ROM that has it and push into system apps with root explorer. Or, if you look hard enough, I want to say theres an apk for it in one of ravers threads.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HolyGhostBoy1:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] In_da_buff:
So lately (this past month) my SD card will unmount itself. But it really isn't. I try to remount and it says 'blank SD card." Most of the time, if I pull it and reboot it loads up. It use to happen maybe once a week but now it happens multiple times a day - started 2 days ago.

So I'm trying to figure out if this is a hardware issue - bad interface on physical card contact, something with the ROM, or a bad SD card. I'm going to clear the card and reformat. I'm also copying the apps to another card and will run that for a few days to see if it "umnounts/goes blank". I searched under Caulkins E4GT thread for similar issues - didn't find any answers.

Anyone else have this issue? How to fix?

Thanks.

Hello.

i'm using my chacha for like 2 months already and i think it is really cool only the less internal memory is what bothers me. so i wanted to root it and be able to change the destination of installed programs. i have seen the tutorials to do this but i had one question will i still be able to update my phone software after i root it?

i am not willing to install custom roms due to my experience with cooked roms by people.

thanks.

It depends if you install a custom ROM or not, but I think that in any case, updates will always be available

I think that if you update your phone officially you will lose root on your device, which may mess things up with your rooted programs.

You could try apps2sd, i don't think it requires a rooted device to use

you can always undo the root

as root do the updates are unlikely to be possible
