Why Am I not surprise that Sprint does this kind of things??? I had plenty of horrible experiences with them That's why I wrote a Complain with the BBB, it's on going but with a bit of luck I'll get what I want from them!.. I suggest u do the same.

It's not like there's much other choice for those looking for decent service at a halfway affordable price, and I'm happy with my $30 unlimited data SERO plan, so I'll just leave it how it is.

Wow I'm glad I'm a Sprint Tech or that would haven't made any sense at all. :D

But you're right. Cracks under an inch can be exchanged or replaced in-store no problemo. Sounds like the tech either:

1. Was too lazy to fix your phone

2. Didn't have the part in stock and didn't want to exchange it because he was over his monthly exchange budget and needed to hit quota to make commission

These two things happen more often than they should, Sprint is only playing it close to the chest on cracks because Service Centers get charged back if the phone or parts they send back get flagged as physically damaged. This only started being a problem last year when Sprint started cutting corners and nickling and diming everything to generate as much revenue as possible to keep their unlimited data plans.

So have I posted "GTFO that corporate store and go to a third-party retailer" yet? Because if not... do it. I've said it many times before, when my local store changed hands, the service level went way up. Awesome staff, who can repair most any hardware, will do advance exchanges, don't care about root/etc. ... All around great experience. The old store was way different.

Sprint corporate should just be a carrier. Otherwise, their third party affiliates rule the service department.

EDIT: Oh, and, my store is straight up about any possible hangups due to chargebacks from corporate. If that's the issue, they'll tell you.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
i completely disagree. evry time ive ever walked in to a non corporate store, i leave feeling more than disappointed. the corp store i go to gives away free batteries. the "sprint by wireless lifestyle" says i need to go to batteries plus, because they are local partners, so they have a deal not to replace batteries for free. batteries pluscharges 24.99. but hey, that third party sprint store gave me a 5 dollar off coupon, so it must be a good deal.

theyve jacked up my discount once and i had to go to corp to fix it.

they just have an overall bad attitude. they act like if your not buying a phone from them, your worthless. ive had them tell me they cant help me with a stuck key on my keybaord beacuase "if we just fixed every phone that came in here, we'd be out on the streets". they actually told me that. and getting a replacement? forget about it. they told me it could take up to a month to get one in and that id better just head over to a real sprint store.

also, the repair person is in on like, monday, wednesday and friday only, and take about a two year long lunch. corporate on the other hand, has about 4 techs at all times.

this could have something to do with the fact that i live in the same city as the sprint world hq. there are constantly big wigs stopping by. ive met hesse twice at the corp store i go to. he remembered me the second time. genuinely a nice guy.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
That would do it, yes. Big cities will also have marginally poorer quality of service. I can't vouch for all third party retailers, but I know mine's great and others have had similar experiences, so if corporate fails, it's worth ditching them for someone else.
[Epic 4G General] dito33:
The third party services are jack asses, they always have some kind of excuse not to fix the phone in my case and I always play polite not to piss them off, but they do not know any better because they are just girls or they are just girls with no clue.

I had this exact same issue except it was a power button not working. After my horrible in store experiences a cs rep from the phone cs team credited my account for the $100 assurion deductible
[Epic 4G General] wireless.praying.mantis:
Sprint Technical Consultants/TCs don't make ANY commissions except for overall C-SAT scoring for their retail store which when achieved is anywhere from $330 to $495. TCs can sell a $500 Samsung Galaxy 7.1" Tablet and get nothing for it where as a RC/LRC would get 12% ($60). One thing TCs do get though it a higher base pay than RCs/LRCs because of the lack of a commission structure. As far as physically damaged screens go, I've seen where exceptions have been made for a customer. All the TC has to do is remove the damaged screen and just send back the PCB along with the ESN ticker and just say the rest of the handset was harvested for parts. As long as the actual PCB doesn't show physical and/or liquid damage, the Sprint's National Distribution Center would have no clue. LOL!

I'm a tech on a 3rd party store or u can say preferred retailer, and my company is extremely strict with repairs. We arent even allowed to do AE's on any cracked phone regardless of the size of the crack which is to avoid the risk of any chargebacks at all. So in some cases it may not even be the tech but the policy of that 3rd party company. But then again my company goes really hard on us if we cant help anyone.. all these etickets and crap is crazy how much detail we have to put on it.. i'm at the point of just repairing phones for free without even creating an eticket unless its for AEs or major repairs

I'm running stock DXLP9 and upgraded from stock GB 2.3.6.

The rooting method mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1647148, works for me. What I did was after rooting, I installed Root Explorer. Start Root Explorer and grant it root excess. Then in Root Explorer, I navigated to the /system folder and mounted R/W. Then I tested copying a file and deleting it from the folder and it works.

To double check I installed Es file Explorer and granted it root excess and did the same thing as in file explorer. It works also.

Hope this helps.

Indian ICS with N7000DDLP8, How do I...

Samsung released ICS for India yesterday and I updated it via Kies, not very happy with Samsungs TouchWiz

so my Question is

My Kernel is N7000DDLP8 I dont have that 'X' Instead its 'D' so can I go ahead and root it and Install custom Rom?

Not sure if the kernal bug that every one is talking about is fixed with this kerner? so has it been Fixed or have to wait....

Also I want to wipe the entire phone memory and cache and data before I install rom so is it possible? its like I wanna format my entire phone as files look messed up inside the memory with lots of folders and hardly can I find anything that I want

or do I need to do any thing special to erase the disk???

[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
There is a similar thread in the Captivate section (posted by sixstringsg) so I thought I would bring one here. The purpose of this thread is to encourage people to make KANG builds of CM7&9 and provide a place for them to post links to their builds. KANGS may include code that is not fully tested or they may simply be clean, up-to-date builds straight from the repo... and thus, are lightly supported if at all. If you build KANGS... post them in this thread.

I have been building these KANGS (they really call them UNOFFICIAL's now :D) for my wifes phone for a while now and thought it time to post some for you guys. I recently dropped CM7 in favor of taking the wife up to CM9. Most of the builds are "clean"... meaning that I haven't cherry picked any of the changes awaiting approval in gerrit HERE

If you are coming from a Samsung ROM wipe everything. If you are coming from CM7 or another ICS ROM, at least wipe cache, dalvik, and system. You may get away with not wiping data (I do mostly).

Flashing this KANG is an open admission that you hate your phone and are intent on bricking it. I accept no responsibility for any damage that you inflict upon your phone.

Kangs from Androtransfer.com WILL download using the phones browser, but you may have to rename the file .zip from .htm before you flash. If you use Firefox or Opera for downloading it, it works properly. For some reason the stock Android browser and Chrome don't parse the link correctly.

Latest KANG... download from here

Flash the 4/29 gapps with CM9. Download from here

If you want to start building CM9 for epicmtd... GO HERE

...more to come later. I will add info about cherry picking, etc...
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
Once you have your build environment configured, here are a couple of things that I do.

Open the local_manifest.xml (located in .repo folder) adding the following line...

<project name="koush/proprietary_vendor_samsung" path="vendor/samsung" remote="github"/>

This will sync all the samsung proprietary files and basically allow you to make builds for a phone you don't have.

For the epic, I have added these lines...

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_epicmtd" path="device/samsung/epicmtd" remote="github"

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_samsung_victory" path="kernel/samsung/victory" remote="github"/>

This syncs the kernel source as the kernel is built in-line and is not prebuilt.

<project name="EpicCM/epictools.git" path="epictools" remote="github" revision="ics"/>

Currently epictools allows you to turn off the backlight of the capacitive buttons unless they are pressed. Could be nice if you are watching a movie in bed on your phone. :)

More details... HERE (github.com/epicCM)

Cherry picking details... coming soon

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
I updated OP to clarify why I posted this thread. Just as you said... to prevent 30 different threads of people posting KANG builds... this will be the ONE.

Since KANGs are ever changing, there is no reason to update the OP as the Kanger will post a link to his latest KANG near the end. We have the same type of threads going in Captivate and Crespo.

If this thread is deemed "not welcome" than by all means delete it. As I see it, interest in the epic is waning. I am merely trying to encourage.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
This is intended as a KANG thread... not a thread for my specific kang. It is not the same as the beta 3 version. There have been merges since that ROM was built. Can I name them all? Nope.
[Epic 4G Android Development] KennyG123:
OK to clarify you are saying this is newer than Beta 3 as it has merges not yet incorporated in the official CM9 thread and if anyone else makes a Kang they should just add it in a post? That part won't work. It will make it hard to find individual Kangs. If you can't maintain the OP with others' Kangs then I can stick in links, if everyone thinks this thread is useful and adds something for the Epic community.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lownox:
I am happy to update the OP with links if other people start making KANGS. Most of the time they will be posting their builds to some central location and people reading the thread can simply follow the link, see what the latest build date is, and choose to download it or not.

My page, for example, says that if the build is anything other than a "clean" build I will note what has been cherry picked. Cherry picks aren't always stable and sometimes they even cause problems. Since there are no "nightlies" for CM9 epicmtd... Kangs are a way to be able to run the latest merged changes and maybe some cherry picks.

In my next build, I will include some cherry picks. All the forums here seem to run a little bit different. I really wasn't expecting the bit of harshness I got here. I guess I took for granted that everyone knew about Kangs (or Unofficial) builds and what they were.

I don't see cm7 :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] RandomKing:
Each device forum on XDA operates as it's own community. We have regulars. We have standards. We have issues we've ironed out throughout the device's lifetime.

"Kang" has generally been used to refer to stolen or leaked coding. Up until recently, it had been more of an insult to call someones rom a "kang." Terms like "unofficial" or "variant" likely would have been greeted with less suspicion. But, more specifically, you should always have a well stated OP with a clear purpose. Starting a thread by saying something like "here I will be posting official cm9 roms with no changes and any one can feel free to post theirs" is never a good idea. Especially since things can become gray-area when talking about CyanogenMod source.

Basically, you need a well-stated and well formatted OP defining what it is you're sharing and how it differs from the CM9 and CM7 threads we already have here.

I would like to add my 2 cents, or five, or ten, on this subject, and this being a public forum, there's nothing stopping me. :)

I don't really see how this thread is any different than a thread in the theme forum that has links to various theme's threads.

When I saw this thread it had been up for a while, so I didn't see how the OP was initially laid out, therefore I cannot speak on that matter, but I can say this: I feel that in its current state, the OP perfectly states the intent and design of this thread. Also, on a personal note, I'm very glad its here.

I won't say that interest in epic development is waning, but there's really no arguement that compared to a few months ago, there isn't near as much going on.

I also hope that this will encourage more devs to try their hand at ICS and CM based ROMs. I would love to see some slim ics or codename android jumpin off in this forum.

I really enjoy the epic forum and community, especially now, our forumm is well monitored and tight knit. But I also enjoy seeing new developers and new dev teams adding to the variety in our forum. This will never happen if we keep jumping on newcomers with a hostile attitude. I'm not saying anyone means to do so, but it does come off that way from time to time. This is my perspective, a member of this community for over a year, so imagine how someone new would take it.

I would like to personally extend my grattitude and a warm welcome to the epic community to the OP.

I'm sure most of us, if not all appreciate your presence.

For those who followed the CM9 beta3 development cycle, we posted many test builds and received much helpful feedback toward improving beta3. We will soon post beta4-pre builds in the same fashion. Additionally, Team Epic is working on fixing some poor code quality issues in preparation for enabling official CM9 nightly builds in order to make this a more automatic process.

It seems many of the posters here are missing the latest Epic development news. If you follow +Epic CM and +CyanogenMod on Google+ you will know stuff often before it hits XDA.

you can't compare cm7 and cm9 battery life. cm7 always wins. There is a thread in the general section on Battery optimization for cm9, which you should check out.

cm7 is much snappier, specially uninstalling spare parts. cm9 is a little slower (transition animations?)
