This ain't about whinning...this is about paying $10 on 4 lines for "premium data" with the empty promise of wimax in my area within a year of my plan change!!! I have been paying this bull**** fee since the launch of the original Evo. I was forced into a plan change "if i wanted to buy an Evo"..my bill doubled and my data usage actually went DOWN!!. And I never got the 4g wimax and here we are almost 3 yrs later...sure I signed the contract and THEY PROMISED THE SERVICE. Then you know what they did?? They took my discount and changed it from all 4 lines to just the 1st 2 lines. then they added a fee to my 2nd line and applied the discount to only my 1st line....then they said..hey you know that discount you have on your 1st line? we want you to RE-VERIFY that you're eligible for it..all they have done is raise my bill repeatedly while my service stayed exactly the same...oh yea..and they also told me that some of the handsets i've owned would have better battery life IF I TURNED OFF MOST OF THE FEATURES AND USED WIFI INSTEAD OF SPRINTS DATA!!!! now when you say i'm the 1 (dumb enough) to sign the contract, well you have a point...but if you think your point is more valid than mine is...i sau you might have a different opinion if you were in my position.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Nothing I said was directed at any one person, which is why I didn't quote anyone. Regardless, I hear you about the discount to only the first line...they did the same to me and everyone else. They also asked me to re-verify I'm eligible for the discount. No problem since I am. Those who get pissed about it are the people who didn't qualify for it anymore anyway. They shouldn't get upset, just be happy they probably got a discount they didn't qualify for for years beforehand...but no one thinks about that.

Sprint is doing their due diligence when it comes to discounts, I can't say I blame them. With the shape they're in, they need all the profit they can get. They've been losing customers for years, and now they're expediting the largest network upgrade ever known.

When they changed the discount, that was a change in their TOS, so you had the right and the option to get out of your contract without an ETF. You chose not to.

I believe it's common knowledge that wifi uses less battery than cell data, so that's not surprising at all. I'm on wifi while at work and when at home, as I would assume most other people are too if it's available to them.

I just brought my mother in law onto my plan as well, just got her a GSII. $10 fee applies because it's a smartphone. She lives in the middle of fricking nowhere and the chances of her getting a decent signal are slim. I may see if I can get her an airave if she complains about it but I know this...Including the $10 fee for three phones, no discount on lines 2 & 3, I still know the bill I have now is considerably less than what I would have with any other carrier.

I don't know what area you're in (can't see your details in the reply screen) but if your area is scheduled for a NV upgrade sometime soon, I say wait it out, you won't be disappointed. If you're not, shame on you for getting a phone you fully knew wouldn't work with a new network when you got it. You have no one to blame there but yourself. If you listened to some sales guy over doing your own research and learning about what's going on...I'll leave it there. They're called 'sales people' for a reason.

Your options are to sell the phones, which I'm sure you could get enough for them to cover any ETF and join another carrier, or deal. It's really simple. Maybe not convenient, but you could do it and join Verizon/TMob/AT&T and probably get better coverage than where you are now. I would suggest starting to look at TMob.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cherylbaker:
Gee when they started charging the $10 premium I was told it was cause it was a smartphone.. not cause it could do 3g/4g. I figured since they are unlimited and people with smartphones were probably going to use more data downloading videos etc this was a reasonable thing.. no I didn't like it but I understood. Looks like 4g is making its way to my area right now so after having what 3 phones with 4g capability I finally am going to be able to use it snd guess what.. I do not have to pay extra haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bonebeatz1234:
I'm a dumb ****, im stupid dumb i left tmobile four months ago because they lacked any high end phones i liked so when my contract ended i tried a different carrier. Sprint has been hell, i had no idea 3g could be this slow i mean 3mbps with tmobile was average 3g speeds apparently 0.03 is sprint unusable data that's why it's unlimited. I have 4g in my town but i have one big problem the lte service covers 95% of the city and guess where i live smdh. I could literally cross the street 4g go back over 3g this phone doesn't like to stay on lte if it's a weak signal. I'm leaving this damn company when that note 2 make its way here and probably head back to T-Mobile where i belong plus they have truly unlimited data. There hspa is just as fast as sprint lte so i say it's a win usable data yay. You never know what you have til it's gone .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arozer:
We are indeed dumb.

However, I've smartened up a bit.

When I get to my new apartment, I will make sure if AT&T or Verizon work over there and will move to them.

So sick of Sprint.

And I live in a HUGE city - Atlanta. When I lived in Cleveland, there was no service in my house.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meccadon123:
All the other crap means nothing to me...I'm being charged $40 a month($10 per phone) and i use about 1gig total across 4 phones....the only person that "talked me into anything" was a retentions rep that all but guaranteed i'd have 4g wimax within a year of buying the OG evo(which is the reason i changed my plan(which doubled my bill)......so like i stated in my 1ts post in this thread.."which of the 3 data services would you call PREMIUM"????????damn sure not the 3g option.....i wouldn't have anything to say if i got just a taste of 4g wimax...ALL THAT CRAP WAS BS TO GET ME NOT TO CANCEL AND BUY 4 ORIGINAL EVOS....period....As far as being able to get out of my contract..there is a downside to canceling your paper billing...they don't put changes like that on the "pay your bill" pade online...they only put on the "view your bill" page that contains your entire bill...i didn't know about that change until last month(and it took place at the start of the year)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
I prefer to call it as $10.00 charge is for Unlimited Tethering instead Premium Data.

According to Sprint they will no longer invest in 4g technology so how is it that you are getting 4g? are you on sprint?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rueben68:
Lol nice!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSocalGuy79:
Really? What about there 4G LTE they are investing in and starting to roll out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] colorme:
St. Louis, MO. Full coverage area according to Sprint's own maps. After recent data updates, no less.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
He is misquoting or misinformed (usually by another provider)

Sprint is no longer investing resources into 4g WIMAX.

Someone hit the nail on the head...sprints approach was slightly different than say att...who btw was just rolling out LTE in my area this time last year and is stll only a small portion ahead of Sprint with their rollout and way behind verizon on theirs.

Sprint gave a heads up it is coming and that some areas are live. They could have been clearer on timelines and exact to those areas.

Att on the other hand didnt say squat. They were prolly closer to 75% completion when it was announced in Dallas.

I have both.. a sprint and att lte device and often respond to these threads with my comparisons of the two services. Yes....I can be biased because of the current employer and my ability to see the bigger picture...but for the most part Sprint in this area offers better voice quality, and nearly equivelant lte coverage and they are not even halfway finished rolling it out. Their enhanced 3g upgrades are just now beginning.

Its frustrating while they upgrade yes...spotty coverage and tower outages but it Is no different on att. They are subject to the same outages and areas of sub par or no service

All it takes is to do some reading in the other forums if you dont have the first hand experience.

As att customers we completely got screwed on the same things. Price increases on services that were not in place and they took our unlimited data away.

As for the $10 premium data bs...enough is enough lol. It was introduced with the orig evo...the first phone truly capable of ...well....using a ton of data, and they charged a premium for it. For those that were in the cell phone ownership pool prior to smartphones its a no brainer. For others its a right because they have never seen differently. Then there is the small group who were "sold" the idea of what the charge was by poor sales people and the media.

As mentioned...quantity was the issue, not the speed you were getting it at. No carrier has a speed guaranty. Trust me...have had that connversation with ATT when they started throttling our unlimited plans.

Rather than completely eliminate unlimited data Sprint chose that route of a small premium over what the other carries did.

If you are truly experiencing outages, call care, handle yourself proffessionally and supply the specific addresses with specific issues. I have no doubt you will be taken care of.

If you call with threats and belligerence...I guaranty you will not get far.. with any company for that matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
All the other crap? I'm pretty sure almost everything I posted was relevant to your complaining in one way, shape, or form.

You come on here and complain and whine. I'm giving you real world documentation of other options you have, and what others (myself) have experienced.

Yes, you got sold by a 'retentions rep' and you accurately put them in quotes as I did. They're sales people with more authority. Figure it out. It was known a LONG time ago that Sprint wasn't going to continue their Wimax expansion when Clear started having all their problems.

Quoted for truth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meccadon123:
You say.."i got sold by a retentions rep"...like that **** was ethical and honest...then you use words like "complaining and whining"...as if there is no validity to what i'm saying!! Who the hell died and made you sprints advocate...you think i should just "suck it up"??? Sprint selling people devices based on the networks being "right around the corner" might be ok to you...but its bull**** to me...screw sprint and their 3 year running 1.4 gig download "PREMIUM DATA"....

if you see my name next to a post...SKIP IT..if you're going to be so offended by people "complaining and whining" (as if you can hear the tone of my damn voice) about sprint and their bull**** "$10 premium data" fee...if you don't like my opinion..read something else

Sprint is notorious for lousy customer service with their empty promises of network availability...you think we should overlook this because you're in love with them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I can't hear your voice, but I can tell by all the *'s in your post. Grow up a bit. There is validity in what you're saying, and I'm giving you options, you're just choosing not to take them.

You say to skip a post when I see your name, but then ask direct questions...not sure which way to go about it.

I'm not in love with Sprint, not in the least. I'm just informed about what's going on and what's coming, and I see a good future in front of them with the network they're currently rolling out.

And if you actually look at facts, over the past four years, Sprint has been rated highest in Customer Satisfaction. Last paragraph, few sentences up.

I think we're about done here. You're not happy with their service and you think you've been had. I'm sorry. Either deal with what you have, or take the advice I provided earlier and leave Sprint. Again, with the new plans T-Mobile has out there, I think they'd be a good spot to start looking.

If Network Vision wasn't right around the corner, I would've left Sprint months ago and not re-upped my contract with them because of their data speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 00mred00:
For the record.

Sales...ethical.. honest

Typically don't go together.

Just sayin...

Not to mention premium data at its introduction was 600 kbps plus...sprint was at the time ahead of everyone else with wimax speeds at 1.5-10 mbps. Verizon was just starting up LTE plans

Shortly after Att introduced hspa and hspa+ followed by LTE last year.

All had and continue to have outages and dead zones. All handle it the same way. All have made pricing and plan changes.

I get it though.. you want the cookies now and are not willing to wait for Sprint to bake them.

In turn you are willing to pay more and go over to Verizon because their cookies are done (sure you will pay more if you eat more....but you have that choice)

What I guess I dont get is the individual threads almost daily by people who feel entitled.. like the story is any different than any other disgruntled customer regardless of carrier.

In the end that is what it boils down to. Our endless need for self entitlement.

We are all owed something.. in the end its those of us that continuously beat the dead horse that pay for it.

Move on. It isnt healthy ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] enik_fox:
Premium data is for any smartphone. You could have bought the Echo a year ago which was a 3g phone and youd still pay the premium data charge...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meccadon123:
fellas. I honestly get what all of you are saying...and i'm not really into random threads about carrier complaining, however...after 3 years of premium data fees on 4 lines and you see things like this pic here. It tends to drive some of us a little crazy...not to mention my plan changed thus doubling my bill (besides the premium data fee) ...how informed can i be when i'm taking the word of a sprint employee??? This ain't about "growing up"..this is about...give me what i've been paying for...i don't care if their definition of premium data is 600kbps!! I see speeds in this pic and i know what premium data is...i've been paying for it for 3 years...can I have it now or what?

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

It's not entitlement, it's resentment. Looking at bros here bragging about 30mbps DL while we get 200kbps DL (paying the same) and seeing that our city ain't even mentioned as having ANY plans for LTE is justifiable anger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meccadon123:
i feel your pain...the funny thing is..I'm not even complaining about LTE (yet)..i'm complaining about paying for "premium data" for around 3 years(on 4 lines) and never even getting a taste of WiMax...let alone LTE!!!!...

I can't install app on my sony xperia , it say i need more space but my internal memory still have about 20gb free, can someone help me solve this
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xploda:
I think you are confusing 2 things.

The 20GB you are talking about can only be used for storing music, photos, ...

As far as i know, you only have about 1.5 to 1.6GB available for installing apps.

If you are running ICS, you can check this by going to settings => apps => select the 'downloaded' tab at the top. At the bottom of your screen it then says how much of the memory you have already used and how much is left.

Hope this helps. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] skydawn1001:
so is there anyway i can use that 20gb to install apps and games
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sunil.s125:
Yes

Move the apps to the internal storage memory(20gb one)

You can find it in settings>Apps>select the app you want to move and move it to internal storage.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] blazingwolf:
I'm willing to bet not at first. I believe Verizon will keep it off so that it can substitute its own program that does the same thing. Then after a bit the devs will get it working for everyone to use. :)

Oh and now most of the really good devs have joined forces and formed a TEAM (who's forum is terrible by the way, abusive mods makes for a horrible site imo) and what do u know a whole slew of new ics roms appears with the same problems :-(

No sir I am not mad at all, just a little disappointed that a complete rom hasnt surfaced yet, that was the point of my rant. I dont claim to possess the know how to build a rom, fix it or offer any assistance to a dev other than test out their work.

That being said, if I was a developer, I sure as hell wouldnt keep putting out the same broken rom with a few new tricks and a different fancy name. I more than likely would try to figure out how to iron out the snags.

Excuse me for having an opinion, isnt that the whole point of a forum? Now do me a little favor and put on your big girl panties and stop whining...in the meantime I'm going to go try out "Saladbar"
