[HTC EVO 3D] jyan_osu:
OK this is weird. So I bought an EVO 3D at launch for $199. I expect to get a new phone in 2013.

I get a call from Best Buy on saying I'm eligible for a new phone. I'm like right.. that's next year.. didn't think about it.

Go online to pay my bill.. I see a ! next to my number and it says You qualify for a great price . I click on the link and it takes me to the phones with the 2 year discount pricing.. I click on any of the links and I see a 2 year agreement upgrade discount.

I click on my contract details on my account screen and I see that my contract is up on 6/1/13

So, even though my contract is up next year, I qualify for the 2 year discount price right now.. .

I am confused...
[HTC EVO 3D] kcsween:
Great News!

I know one thing, I was ready to shell out the full price for the EVO 4G LTE but after reading this, I am on calling Sprint tonight to see if I'm eligible and will be upgrading tomorrow if I am.
[HTC EVO 3D] ElJimmy:
I usually only but my phones from Sprint but does best buy have better deals?
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
How's their service though?
[HTC EVO 3D] bsoplinger:
Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint network to provide their service. I'd think that'd make it identical. My VM Evo V 4G (which is the Evo 3D with a different name) even has the Sprint logo unlike my older VM phone which had the Virgin Mobile branding on it. The $35 plan I mention is their 450 minutes talk "unlimited" internet, which is sort of amusing since the fine print says 3/4G data is limited to 2.5G. But still, I figure I break even vs. Sprint with a Evo 3D is 9 months assuming Sprint gives me the phone for free. Where I live there is no 4G (WiMax) service with LTE nowhere on the horizon so its an excellent choice for me.

[HTC EVO 3D] X219c:
This is almost correct... Virgin Mobile runs on the Sprint network, but with limited roaming abilities... So, if you have Sprint, you can roam on Verizon/Alltel, US Cellular, ect... With Virgin Mobile, they don't extend the same roaming contracts. You may be able to roam, but it's much more limited.
[HTC EVO 3D] HeroTC:
Hell no. I will not pay for early upgrade! I was sold a 4g phone that never saw it! I will let my contract end and go m2m! Last time sprint fists me dry! I wanna be a to leave free and clear once I get fed up with sprint data being unlimited slow! It's like saying drink all you want but use this thimble!!
[HTC EVO 3D] mwjames1985:
if you where to go thru with this early upgrade, would you be able to sell your old phone back to sprint knocking off the price of the new phone? just a rumor not for sure but i hear you could get up to $300 for the 3d.. <===just a rumor dont take my word on that!
[HTC EVO 3D] b.huss2:
Yep. I did this back in August 2011 to get my evo3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] o0adam0o:
I got an early upgrade as well to get my 3D. But i believe i had less than 6mo left. I have 1yr with this one. So i doubt they will work with me.

Either way i think the jump from my 3D to next years flagship devices will be bigger than whatever is available this year on Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] errorunknown:
I did it last year as well, but they did it for free because they discontinued the Premier Early Upgrades program.
[HTC EVO 3D] blueblur:
Confirmed as of 6.21.2012

Just got off the phone with sprint. I called 18662351186, the number was given to me by the sprint rep at *2 when I asked was there any strings He could pull since I got the evo 4g on launch day and was told I can upgrade every year. I then got the evo 3d in april of last year.

Basic things to know: calling that number (assuming your situation is similar to mine) they can reset your eligibility date for $125 billed directly to your account.

She said they have a buy back program that will give me $90 if I take it to a sprint corporate store, and $100 if I mail it in. Conditions for this are: no rattling when phone is shaken, screen is not cracked and the device powers o. (she said nothing about rooted or not, I didn't ask)

Cliff notes: 125 early upgrade

90 or 100 buy back for evo 3d

199 for phone

New evo 4g lte final cost 325 if you don't sell back your phone

224.99 if you mail the evo 3d in

235 if you just sell the phone back in the corporate store.

My etf is 130, so I may just sell the phone and go to Verizon since I'm already paying 80for their 10gb lte mifi ....

Hope this helps

JRW 28 is right on, you'll just have to do some experimentation to see what YOU like. There's several totally awesome roms by some super talented devs -and each rom varies from the next: different looks, feels, features, etc. To tell you which rom is the "best" would be a matter of someone's personal preference. But you need to find that rom (or roms) that work for you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grady Llwyd:
Is there a way to fool Kies to get an update for ICS? I live in Australia and I am getting bloody sick of waiting for official firmware updates when it is release in almost entire rest of the bloody world.

I have had a crack at using Easy-Hide IP and diverting the software that way but it doesn't seem to work.

Anyone have any advice?

The reason that I want to do it this way is so that I don't have to re-install all of my programs.

Cheers,

Grady

generally speaking you can spoof your ip by forcing any pplications that do not support working through proxy servers to operate through a SOCKS or HTTPS proxy and chains

download " proxifier "
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehackersz:
If I'm not mistaken the update refer to phone CSC code.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] triadwarfare:
You don't have to change your IP. All you have to do is to change your CSC code to a country that already has the update

all you have to do is bring up the dialer and type *#272(Insert IMEI code here)#. If you don't want to bring out your box or remove the battery to view your IMEI code, you can dial *#06#. All I can say is that the ICS is already released here in the Philippines but you can try to experiment with the CSC codes if an update is available in their country. Once done, you can revert back to your original CSC code (if the option's available)

WARNING: Resetting the CSC code will reformat your phone. If you have any valuable data such as pictures, movies, and music, I suggest you make a soft backup. You can also backup your contacts and SMS through Kies.

It's so strange that Samsung would delay their update rollout in a country like Australia.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grady Llwyd:
Thanks to the both of you for pointing me in this direction.

I have just done this and discovered that I have three viable options (XEO-POLAND, FOP-SPAIN, ATO-AUSTRIA) so I will have a crack at this tomorrow morning when my phone is at 100% battery and I have a chance to back up all of the data.

Thanks again fellas :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Quite sure if your asking this you have seen a few threads with people talking about it. Source for one will help us AOSP lovers get a custom kernel. Quite sure a Google search would help you find more I do as well. This discussion is all over the forum.

Title says it all. I've been cycling between sense, apex, go, and nova, but can't decide which one to stick with. I'm leaning towards nova. What do you guys think about your launchers?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kidromulous:
Apex. Smoothness period
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rawdikrik:
I'm pretty impressed with Sense 4.0. My OG Evo was senseless 100% of the time, but I don't feel bogged down by it this time around.

I still have Apex installed and use it too... But find that I don't mind using sense.

Honestly, if someone modified sense to

A) accept gestures and b) added one more row to the home screen

I don't think I would really leave it.

The "frequent" tab in the app drawer and native folder support makes all the difference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fastmikey1969:
Nova for the drawer tabs.

I agree...they made some quality improvements to it.

I normally switch the launcher quick but this time I'm still on Sense...not bad!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
HTC Sense 4.

Mainly because I'm a Sense fan, I don't have a legit reason why .vs other launchers but it's what drew me to HTC.

Before it was just because they made the best WinMo phones.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Yup. Same here. I suppose mist of the things I like about it could probably be found in other launchers. Familiarity, I suppose. I like the adjustable transparency in app drawer, and resize all Widgets, and changing desktop grid (which i know is available in other launchers, well,...except sense)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ryno_666:
Sense 4.

Since PPC days.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lc3necro:
Nova. I'd go Sense if they would add 1 more row to the screens and give me a larger / scrolling dock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chessmyantidrug:
I used to be a huge fan of LauncherPro until the developer dedicated all his time and effort to a music app and abandoned the launcher replacement that everyone loved. I just stick with Sense because I know I won't have to worry about any issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cbus1971:
I like apex, up to seven customizable icons in the dock and landscape homescreen.

Sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Oh, I almost forgot. Nova allows for vertical scroll in app drawer, which I love. I don't like having my desktop and drawer scroll the same way. Confused my muscle memory. Or I'm just that thick lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] runner77:
I like both Apex and Nova. Just wish one of them would add the ability to customize the app drawer grids (5x6, 6x6, etc.) and icon resizing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
I am using stock sense for now but have used Apex mostly on my tablet. I will probably use Apex once I get bored of stock or if I try out CM9 at some point.

I am not a huge fan of the rotating screen transition HTC uses so I may change a little early just to get the normal slide transition back.

I might also try Nova or whatever launcher allows the vertical scrolling app drawer. I'm not a fan of the paginated style. I feel like it was done to hide lack of smoothness of the phones in the past.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shawnten:
i am using apex and cant use anything else. now that themes are there too. there is a free black theme that gets rid of most of the blue. very nice
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dahray02:
i use adwpro
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JGuthrie:
I don't know a way to make Sense rotate and since the charger/usb for these phones is on the side, a dock with Sense seems useless. I use APEX usually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
sense on all HTC phones is my pick because it ties in with everything else so much. if it was a nexus or aosp i would use apex
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xirin:
I'm very surprised no one mentioned Go Launcher.

Modifiable grid

Can hide icons

Tons of themes and effects

Scrollable dock

Folders on screen and app drawer

Tabs in app drawer

gestures

Resizable widgets

Small and quick

From reading the feature list, the only one I wish it had is widgets in the dock, like the paid Apex version
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
Adw ex: I can make everything disappear when I want it, as well as dock as overlay.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] FPZero:
I second Go Launcher...first app to install always. Although, I haven't left Sense4 since getting the new Evo. No complaints to be honest. Wish it had the transition effects that Go launcher has for the app drawer, but you can't have it all I guess.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rwenterprises:
Apex, I agree w/a previous post about it's smoothness, less lag than Go, 7 icon dock + 5 docks as already mentioned and customizable/completely removable screen margins is a plus.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] weezymagic:
I like apex but go is the most downloaded
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mmmtacos:
I love sense but I am using nova because I can't handle hitting home and sense taking a few seconds to reload, especially when I need to call somebody immediately. If they fix that then ill be sense forever, or atleast until I get bored of it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LionFreak:
I thought I had posted in this thread, but I was wrong... I've been using GoLauncher since my 1st EVO. I love it for all the features it has. It's free AND non of there stuff requires any special permissions. I like that I can also hide icon labels! I like vertical scrolling of my app drawer and the screen animations... great launcher from all the other that I've tried. Always hated HTC sense launcher ICS doesn't offer everything this one does like a scrollable launcher bar & themes.. love it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tre Lawrence:
I am a fan of Launcher Pro, even though it is seemingly abandoned now. Currently, however, I went back to SPB Shell 3D, which was updated a while back.

With a bit of tinkering, I like my current setup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RedWingsFan:
Are there any launchers that have an unread count for the stock email app?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rwenterprises:
The paid version of Apex as unread count
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rwenterprises:
that is, "has" unread count
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RedWingsFan:
Not for the stock email app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LionFreak:
Go Launcher has the feature.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RedWingsFan:
I don't see it. I installed Go Launcher, put the Mail icon on the home page, and it is not showing how many unread emails are sitting in my inbox.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Veereihen6:
Add their Notifier plugin.

Again, Go Launcher does not support notifications in the stock Mail app.

I used to love launcher pro plus, but when the dev stopped its development I started looking for some alternative. When I was rocking gingerbread, I used 360 launcher, which is extremely smooth and is nice as far as skinning is concerned. Now I use apex launcher and I love it :-D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
I've actually been using the sense launcher, but I will probably switch at some point. It's weird, but Apex doesn't seem smooth to me on this phone -- I used it on my GSII and really liked it. It especially seems weird when going from screen to screen within the app drawer -- it kind of stutters -- just doesn't seem smooth. Not sure if it's due to an update or what. I definitely used to prefer Apex to Nova, but Nova seems more fluid now -- I still haven't switched, though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jpbme:
Still using Sense for now. I've tried Apex and Nova briefly and will probably go to one of them eventually, but I'm liking Sense. If I could customize the dock and dock icons I would probably never change. But Sense has been very smooth so far, so not looking to change right now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] decemberhayes:
Try switching off animations and effects. There is a bouncy effect that for some reason gives the feeling of launcher but being smooth.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ghostyroasty:
I'm using Apex for now, but I may switch back to Go Launcher just to switch things up. Surprised no-one has brought up Tsf Shell yet. Expensive, but visually very nice, and very different.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arrogantbastard:
I felt the same way about Apex. I saw the solution a couple of posts below yours but I've settled on Nova and have it set up the way I like it. I used Apex on my previous phone running CM9, and Go Launcher before that on CM7. I really loved Go Launcher, but it just doesn't fit in with ICS IMO.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I watched TSF development for what felt like forever.. Then it dropped and I saw the price and said no way. With almost every review I read on it, I'm glad I didn't buy it.

I use Sense launcher, just feels like too many widgets and stuff are missing without it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonyah:
I got my LTE yesterday and am struggling with the launcher. I always had ADW EX on my EVO 4g and EVO 3D, but it hasn't been properly updated for ICS. It has that stupid "settings" black bar at the bottom because they haven't swapped that out for an app/icon yet.

The main reason I like ADW EX and none of the others is that it not only lets you increase the grid (most do now), but it lets you resize the icons and text below them. As far as I know it's the only one that does that. I love how a bunch of the others look, but without being able to resize, they're kind of useless. I'm currently using Sense until I can decide on one.

If I've missed something, please let me know. With such a huge screen and awesome resolution, I feel it's being put to waste with these huge icons that I can press with my elbow. My fingers are a lot smaller, I want more on there at a time. Increasing the grid alone looks like crap when your icons are nearly running into each other and the text is getting cut off.

Oh, I also don't really care for the latest launcher look in ADW EX, so it would be really cool is one of the others just implemented resizable icons.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blizzard1017:
Nemus launcher allowes for icon resizing. I I'm still on the fence about it but over all I pretty much was like you. Always defaulted to ADW EX but wanted something new this go around. I actually like the current sense set up but I play with Nemus launcher too. I'm on my phone or I would link it. I found it in the Android app section but it's in the market too. It has similar features of adw and I BELIEVE allows you to use themes from adw and launcher pro. Might be in the paid version though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonyah:
Thanks, but it looks like Nemus suffers the same issues as ADW. It doesn't have the "settings" key mapps to an app yet, so there's an extra black bar along the bottom for it. Otherwise, I like the look of it and it's features. I'll keep it installed for now hoping the developer updates it soon. Thank goodness for home switcher.
