[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Thanks.

Appreciate the support.

I'll definitely keep you updated.

I was posting in another thread started by someone else, about customers who are fed up with Sprint, but I started this thread great to avoid clutter.

I actually posted more updates in that thread about Sprint account services, and their attempt to run circles around me, which is what prompted me to contact the BBB and FCC.

I'll also submit to FTC, PUC.

Maybe even have an attorney write a letter on my behalf.

The sad part is that Sprint pays its employees to dish out the crap, so they get paid to bs us.

Guys like me, and girls, have to spend many hours and days trying to resolve these issues, Without being compensated for the much time it takes to attempt to do so.

That is why paying the ETF is usually the cheaper way to go.

Less wasted time and less aggravation.

It's just that you hate to let Sprint get away with getting paid for services that you aren't receiving.

It's Horrendous.

Not being able to complete a call without issue is extremely frustrating, especially here in NYC, one of the Largest, if not the largest market in the country.

Customers thinking of renewing or porting over to sprint should Not be Fooled by the Unlimited Data Ploy. Not only will you have extremely slow data in many cases, you may have Calling issues which is of more importance to most customers.

Even though you have 14 days to try the service and terminated the contract if you decide to, it's really 13 days, and usually if you're having issues, it'll be a few days until you realize the issues aren't an anomaly, but the norm.

You'll end up notifying Sprint, and then the BS will begin to ensure they keep you past the 14 days.

They will tell you that it's the Towers, and that they'll check it out for you quickly, and call you back.

Then a couple of more days will pass.

Then they'll tell you that you can get a replacement device, as that is likely the issue.

You'll go to the store, and order a replacement.

More days will pass.

You'll get your replacement device, and maybe for a day or so you'll think the issues have resolved, only to realize they have Not, and that you're past you're 14 day trial period, and that You're Crap Outta Luck.

If you leave, you'll have to pay $350 to do so.

Buyer Beware never rang so true.

Customer Service has reverted back to the bad old days of yesteryear.

I know all too well being with Sprint for so many years almost 14.

Too long........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I had a Better Idea...............

I just Ported over to VERIZON!

Had Best Buy Mobile handle the Port.

Saved $50 on my Blue S3 32GB ;)

Seamless.

Sprint got some racket go'in on, and I'm Happy Not to be part of it Anymore......

....After 14 years...........

What a pleasure it is to be able to Complete a Call After over 2 Months!!

Btw, LTE, Yes, LTE is 11 Mbps DL, 17 Mbps UL

That's only 1 SpeedTest, and that's good enough for me.

No more 250 Kbps crap.

But the Important thing is that I can Complete a Call, and that's worth Dumping sprint...................GOLD!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frustratez:
So u got out of contract? Im on my 2nd gs3 cannot send SMS half the time or call I want out asap!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
No.

I didn't get a final bill yet, but I'll be paying the ETF once I get the bill.

Account No Services wouldn't waive the ETF or reduce it.

I'll await a response from the BBB, FCC, etc.

I couldn't take 1 more day of non services from Sprint.

Not being able to complete a call without issue for over 2 months was Horrendous.

Sprint is Atrocious.

I hope many others decide to pay their ETF's and/or fight them, rather than stay with non services from sprint.

Sprint just Lost out on $2200 from me is how I see it.

I don't know why the FCC, FTC, Congress hasn't gone after Hesse and his Merry Thieves....

Can I sell my S3 now, or do I have to wait until I receive my final bill?

I already Ported.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mulhiny:
Pretty sure you can sell it now..just call sprint and check the esn if you're concerned.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cslough:
cheaper plan.....

Sounds like its time for a flash update...instead of flashing for the baddest Rom, flash for another carrier and enjoy ur freedom witout contracts..................
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I'm still within the 14 day of my new contract with Verizon.

Which Carrier would you suggest to Flash to, with Everything working?

And I don't want anything affiliated with Sprint.

T-Mobile affiliates appear to be hit and miss, with a lot of miss.

At this point in time, Verizon appears to have the best coverage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DAvid_B:
If you aren't getting phone service, you MUST send them a letter, and request a written response.

Stop using the phone to try and get this fixed.

Make SURE you always put "I am not receiving the service I am paying for" in every correspondence.

After you have a few letters from Sprint saying they do see your calls dropping, demand to be let go without ETF. If they don't, port out, and don't pay the ETF.

When they send you to collections, tell them you are sending your letters to the 3 collection agencies showing that they admitted to not providing service.

It's a tiny bill, and most credit agencies don't even look at small cellphone bills as a negative due to such poor service from all carriers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I hear you about the emails.. I haven't written any correspondence since the issues began.. I have a few trouble tickets.. Usually I do email companies so I have written confirmation of issues, but in this case, I didn't, which is an oversight.

I was already told by account services they won't waive the etf, which is why I Ported a few days ago..

I will write an email also, as it's never too late to do so.

I have the issues logged into the Notes on my account. Sprint also said that even though my calls are Fading out, of which the reps experiences while I was speaking with them on multiple occasions, the calls don't show as dropping..

As for not paying the etf, I will exhaust all avenues of complaints to sprint, etc. Before I pay them.

Thanks for your advice.

So, I've noticed that over on the cyanogenmod site there are nightlies still being put out on occasion. In fact, one was compiled with today's date. But I can't seem to find any changelogs anywhere. I can see cm10 changelogs but no cm7.

Anyone know what's going into these recent nightlies? Is cm_arcee putting these out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
CM7 is bout as good as its gonna get, almost all attention is drawn to CM10. I don't see why when they are unstable as hell due to lack of drivers.

[EVO 4G General] nycazncarguy:
hey everyone, need a little help.

so my beloved evo is starting to have screen problems, with only 3 months left on my contract to go =(.

Now, here's the thing: only the backlight is not working. So if i turn on the screen, it actually is on. I can see that it is when i shine a flashlight into the screen. Everything still shows. I know its not because of a rom because i pulled the battery and it's like this on every screen, bootloader, recovery, the initial boot logo, etc.

I considered buying another phone, but given that i only have 3 months left on the contract, i figured it might be easier to just replace the broken part.

Does anyone know which part to replace in particular, or do I need to replace the whole screen? (not sure if the backlighting is part of the screen hardware).

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G General] IDRFT95S14:
I think Sprint will try to fix the phone first ,if the technician can't fix the problem he will order you a new phone for free only if you have insurance ,so take it to your nearest Sprint ,some Sprint stores don't have tech support though you just ask if they do phone repair,.........oh and plz,plz UNROOT first before taking the phone
[EVO 4G General] nycazncarguy:
insurance is the thing you were supposed to pay for, right? if so, i dont have it.

also, kind of hard to unroot without being able to see the screen lol. It was hell just trying to figure who sent me text messages, let alone do anything else.
[EVO 4G General] IDRFT95S14:
Well if you don't have insurance they'll ask for 50 bucks I think and its the same if he can't get it fixed that's his problem he'll have to get a new one for ya ,oh about root ,he shouldn't care then if you aren't paying for insurance
[EVO 4G General] murkstylez:
Just replace the lcd its not to hard look on Amazon

Sent from my over flashed EVO 4G
[EVO 4G General] nycazncarguy:
Thanks alot, this turned out to work better than I expected. The dude was able to replace the screen for me for $35, and did it within 10 minutes. You were right, he didnt care that it was rooted. He said it was cool what I did with it, in fact (thank the devs here!).

I also got really really lucky when I did this yesterday, cuz it just so happens that a Samsung mobile sales specialist (i think that's what his title is) was showcasing the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to the employees. He was nice enough to let me look at it as well, and I must say, it's a very very nice device. I just might upgrade to that when it comes out.

Yeah, that actually kinda does answer my original question. Technically, it is hard to look on Amazon if you don't know which part you're looking for. I only found out after the guy at the Sprint store who changed out the part for me told me that you just replace the whole screen. I initially wasnt sure if it was just simply the whole thing, or if there was a separate part for just the backlighting so that I didnt have to pay for a whole lcd screen. Also, buying a new lcd screen costs around 25$ on ebay. I paid 10 extra dollars to have it changed for me. Can't complain. The dude was done in less than 10 minutes.

Regardless, I got the phone fixed, and found my new potential upgrade phone =)
[EVO 4G General] IDRFT95S14:
Glad you got it fixed :cool:

Do anyone know how? I want my internal storage with apps only and I want data to be installed on external SD. Thanks.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
I dont think thats possible. Unless the app itself does it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmakk2055:
Okay thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
You can use an app like Link2SD where instead of moving the app, it links things like the cache to the external. Probably not exactly what you wanted, but it semi does what you're asking.

[General Questions and Answers] roofus1812:
I tried posting over at itzdarockz's FE16 Update and Recovery thread, but b/c I'm a noob I do not have the required privileges to post in a developer thread. Anyway, I have a rooted Conquer and I want to update to the FE16 OTA, but don't want to lose my root capabilities. Below are my questions regarding this guide. Any help will be appreciated.

My Phone:

Samsung Conquer SPH-D600

Rooted with BrienJ's Guide

CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7

Android Ver.: 2.3.6

Baseband Ver.: S: D600.12 x.FC17

Kernel Ver.: 2.6.35.7

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.FC17

Hardware Ver.: D600.12

My Computer:

Win7 Ultimate (64bit)

Samsung Kies version: 2.3.3.12085_7_5

1. When I download the chief.ops file the popup prompt asks me if I want to save in ".txt" format. Should I change the file extention to ".ops"?

2. After the "cwmr.tar.md5" finishes installing I am told to boot into Recovery. Does the phone have to be unplugged for this? I only know how to enter the Recovery mode by plugging the phone into the computer and entering the "adb reboot recovery" command in the command prompt. Is there another way to enter the Recovery mode using the phone's buttons?

3. The guide says "Now unmount usb from computer and mount your system", does this mean I unplug the phone from my computer? Should I just select the unmount usb from the CWM menu? Also, to "mount your system" do I select the "mount /system" option in the "mounts and storage" menu?

4. When you say "Now flash these files and reboot.", do you mean for me to select the "install zip from sdcard" option from CWM's main menu? If not how do you flash the .zip files?

5. Since I already have CWM installed, do I need to follow the directions in your guide to make "the recovery permanent"? Will applying the "cwmr.tar.md5" file change my current CWM recovery?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Evil20071:
1: Yes, change it to .ops

2: Volume Up, Camera and Power will boot to recovery mode, provided you successfully flashed the recovery image provided.

3: I believe it's referring to using the CWM options in Recovery Mode.

4: Yes, flash using "Install from zip" in CWM Recovery Mode.

5: I would do so just to be safe. Sometimes, OTA updates will come along and will force the system to install the base recovery, though only if his ROM is OTA enabled.

Hope this helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Michaelolio:
While it was probably your provider just screwing up, make sure nothing on your end (like Google Voice) caused it to be wonky. If it continues, I'd bring it in and exchange it, see if that fixes the problem.

I honestly don't have time to test all these out myself, and i wanna see in your guy's opinion which build is the best

f103 has some annoying lil bugs that bother me, that also carry on to FI25

but yeah, tell me which ya'll think is the best :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esk1L:
well FI03 has the Slow 4G bug fix, and i like the contacts shortcut in the phone app. which is missing in the other two builds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
I have tried all three and prefer FI03.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
FI03 is the best for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Omar04:
FI25 Nah!

FI03 Nice 3G Speed and features.

FH13 Most balance and battery friendly. (on it right now pure Stock) 22+hrs battery Moderate use.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Never ran fh13 but but the fi builds are similar in battery life for me. I like the native usb/mtp switch option in fi03
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockypr:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rocket321:
My vote is for CM9 beta 1 if you like the feel of aosp. I get similar battery life to those in this thread, and get the aosp goodies like lock screen widgets.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evol4g:
Hahaha totally off subject dude... I like aosp very much but im asking for my sense themed rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evol4g:
Here's a crazy thought..... What if i used MIUI with an sense themed android launcher?... I could get it a lot closer to the sense.look and feel than i could with touchwiz, just a thought
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Honestly you are going to get opinions from across the board. I'm currently running Kobridge's FI25 with FI25 modem and kernel and it's stable as sh%t. Everything works, no WiFi drop offs and battery is good. Though I've been switching and flashing ROMs for a few days and will be flashing another tomorrow (Re-Calked). I go for smoothness and performance over battery. I don't get wood over a battery that lasts beyond a day like some folks here. I mean it shouldn't die after a couple hours but still. Good battery for me is at least 8 hours with half of that screen time with loads of calls - it is an actual phone for me. And there are things you can do to increase batter on any build. It's 2012 and if you don't have multiple chargers and or batteries available you probably have other issues you should look at. But that's just me.

My 4G speeds are great when I'm within an area that has it and it's unobstructed - I live in the Northwest, so trees. My 3G speeds are good 600+kbps and with the later builds I'm getting reception where I had none or very poor. And on Kobridge's last build I haven't had the WiFi sleep/drop off that I had on other ROMs where after sleeping the WiFi reception went down; it would still connect but would be very poor and the only fix was a reboot.

You will truly have to see what works for you on your phone. Once you get a routine down for flashing it is actually pretty quick to go between builds get them working the way you want them. Then backup and do restores etc.

Welcome over to the E4GT, have fun and good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evol4g:
Thanks.. lol I know how to flash roms quickly and easily but I work 12 hours a day 12 days straight.. I'm asking because I'm curious on which I should work on from a development standpoint.. I already have battery tweaks in line and are working pretty well..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I completely understand the work issue. I'm so swamped I flash when I can and do what little tweaking I can while I can. This group had even inspired me to resurrect my caveman coding brain.

The devs in this section are very good and more importantly supportive.

Hope you find all you need.

:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
From a dev stand point i would say that fi03 has the best ui, but its also the hardest to work on. Kinda quirky if things aren't done just right on it. Fh13 was a solid build with no issues i could see, but again its not as nice if a ui interface such as the contacts and phone apks. ...and i haven't even ran fi 25 yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evol4g:
Yeah working on f103 is a pain in the contacts/phone especially since I'm trying to do an inverted look

I might try out fh23 I've heard a lot of good things about it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lord dredd:
used FI03 and loved it even in stock glory ;)

but since past 10 days using GALXY FI03 based and loving it

smooth and very efficient when used with FI03kernel+agats recovery combo from aGAT

( the ROM comes with .5.4 recovery and kernel combo from AGAT though)

extended toggels in it are a real treat plus i am using the FI03 aosp lockscreen on it

so not missing nything at all.

It looks like the time to start a simple list as a Sprint TW/JB leak has been put out into the wild and many users have flashed it.

Let's try to use this thread for the handful of committed developers on TW based roms going into the world of Jelly Bean.

The intent of this thread is to be a clearing house of items that we want, or want back, in future

custom TW based jelly bean roms

.

Couple simple rules.

1- Use Search - if you are on mobile version of xda, then find a computer and use it, as there are more comprehensive searching abilities from a computer.

2 - Don't ask for stuff if a developer already has made it, and use screen shots of what it is you are talking about.

Note: I am a fun loving guy, so, if you do come in here and post crazy stuff, or repeat questions, I will have fun with you, it is isn't personal, and, trust me, I am not flaming you. If you want to be flamed, go over to cajunflavoredbobs thread (Google Now for ICS project):D
