[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ascertion:
No, I'm in a thread about a company acquiring Sprint. How can you even argue this is my fault for reading his comment? I've heard it over and over that some people aren't happy. Do something about it and leave. Sprint's made their network vision goal known but people still complain about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Lol he is telling you what to do with this thread the same as you are telling him what to do with the service
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ascertion:
Where did I tell him to do anything?

"do something about it and leave", really dude?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevemoffler:
Let's all just stop crying and move ahead in the thread, we all knew what we were getting our selfs into when we got sprint, and if you didn't research sprints coverage in your area then shame on you. Just stop all the bickering and crying.

Softbank to pay $20 billion for a 70 percent stake in Sprint

Announcement Monday

Done Deal?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
**** yeah.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
What makes you think it's a good thing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
No one will know for sure if it's going to be good or bad for us. We'll just have to wait and see. Hopefully now sprint will have more money to spend to upgrade their towers and improve our service.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
More funding, More resources, more Spectrum etc.

The only one who gets the gamble/risk is Softbank.

Because crying here for all others to read in a merger thread is the best option. :thumbsup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Look man no one is crying over anything. Just drop it and add to the conversation please. Maybe I shouldn't have said what I said but it's done now. The "crying" may not stop by other people in this thread now, so it's either your choice to be the patrol officer of crybabies or read everything that people have to say here or choose to ignore the thread completely.

I'm not fighting with you by saying this. I'm simply moving on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] buzzwyzr:
God...everyone in this thread who is complaining about shipping their money overseas needs to look at their device and where its from. I don't care if it was designed in the USA...when you bought it...the money ultimately went to South Korea.

Reminds me of the "Free Tibet" protesters we had in '08 trying to disrupt the Olympic torch run through SF because of China's treatment of Tibetans...and all the protesters were wearing Nikes... which are made in China.

You'll all still be here after Softbank takes over. Nothing will change.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Crying about other people crying is genius
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ascertion:
You could've chose to ignore my post. See how it is? You come to a forum to read. Telling someone to not read a post is Utter nonsense. You posted it.

But you're right, I'm done talking here. Not even going to respond to the flame bait above me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Back to topic...

If you were ever waiting for that good thing to happen to Sprint or talk about Sprint needs this, Sprint should do that, Sprint is too slow with this, Not enough blah blah...

Well now they've got the means to do so, without stepping on the consumer's foot like they did last fall.

The icing on the cake is that it is Softbank & not Verizon, Vodafone, Rogers, Bell, etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
True..The more info that comes out the more i feel this is going to be a good thing...Still a bit lacking in all the details but as time goes on this could be a new day for Sprint..Riddle me semi excited at the moment.

Done deal now- . It was announced this morning. The new entity is called New Sprint. They are about to put a serious push on rolling out that LTE network and this company has the expertise in rolling out LTE and advanced LTE. Sprint for the #WIN.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
And New Sprint is born..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neopolotin75:
I think this is good.....deeper pockets and a company that has rolled out LTE before should mean a faster LTE rollout and vision network upgrade
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Hope this works out, chainfire said on twitter over night "Softbank is the worst company ever". They have more cash than sprint but again their debt is equal to sprints existing debt and the transaction is done on borrowed cash. We should all remain skeptical until you see improvements in your area
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevemoffler:
So this means they can hire like 10000000000000000000000000000000000000 new techs to get nv and.lte out

Pretty good + Unlimted data

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
Reading some of these post is straight up comical. Some people should sick to rooting phones then trying to figure out this deal. If anyone is really interested in knowing how this deal will workout I suggest you read up on it a reputable financial website like CNBC or The Wall Street Journal.

My overall view of this is, its a win win situation for Sprint (the name) and us the end user. Sprint going forward will remain a separate entity from SoftBank, will have deep pockets to build its LTE network and the only ones who should worry about this deal are the suit and ties working for Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Riff76:
Here is a great article that points out what challenges remain for Sprint. This deal doesn't solve all of their problems, as I speculated...

What sucks is that nothing is set for the short term. Deal itself won't be closed til mid 2013. I was hoping 8 billion would be transferred into sprints bank account over night, even though that gives me the cringies as sprints spending technique is horrid.

Am I the only one here satisfied with sprints service? Also I really don't care about the merger, things can only get better, and I'll stay with sprint unless they get rid of my unlimited data. If that happens I'll move to a company who has unlimited data, what you buy has a bigger impact than you know. Even if it isn't immediate.

And it well should be your main concern . The majority of people on this SERO plan really has no right to be in this plan and in actuality if people on this plan is costing sprint money, Get them the hell out of that plan! Who needs these cheapos anyway? Send em over to a prepaid.

My wife says that about me all the time.;):D

I've been happy with sprint for 10 years. I had wimax but also get 1-2 down consistently. Nothing we could say here was going to stop this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] hercules rockefeller:
SERO accounts make Sprint money, that's why there's no limit on them (like there is on employee accounts). It's not an employee benefit, it's a referral discount program. You can get similar pricing as a member of all sorts of organizations; a college, credit union, AARP, an employee of a company with a corporate contract with Sprint, etc. a SERO line obviously doesn't provide as much margin as a comparable plan on a non-SERO account, but they do provide more margin than any line that's active on a phone-only plan. There's no indication that Softbank is going to make wholesale changes to Sprint's business model. I'm sure some things will change, but in business that's true anytime, whether a company gets bought out or not.

That doesn't mean that the acquisition is going to be a good thing in the long run; only time will answer that question. But in my opinion an 8 Billion cash infusion will go a long way to funding Network Vision and making Sprint a stronger competitor with VZ and AT&T, so on balance I'm cautiously optimistic.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BrianBaker:
Straight from the Android Central information from this morning

Transaction Terms

SoftBank will form a new U.S. subsidiary, New Sprint, which will invest $3.1 billion in a newly?issued Sprint convertible senior bond following this announcement. The convertible bond will have a 7-year term and 1.0% coupon rate, and will be convertible, subject to regulatory approval, into Sprint common stock at $5.25 per share. Immediately prior to the merger, the bond will be converted into shares of Sprint, which will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Sprint.

Hesse & Son Q&A from Kansas City BJ:

http://www.bizjournals.com/kansascity/news/2012/10/15/highlights-from-the-sprint-softbank.html

Quote:

Q: (To Hesse) Why did you need a structure that provided cash up front?

A: The regulatory approval process is expected to be lengthy, Hesse said.

“This is a way of improving the balance sheet ... it was just an opportunity for an immediate injection of capital into the company that we may be able access for the next six, eight, nine months while the transaction is being approved,” he said.

From this, it's possible that Sprint may spend the money before the deal is finalized? What happens if the FCC (I know it's a small chance, but it could happen) rejects the deal? Is Softbank just out of a few billion?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Good question. Out of the many articles, no one (afaik) touched on it.

I could only find terms of where Sprint & or Softbank are breaking the terms (to the tune of $600 Million in penalty) but nothing on the government's possible "no".

I confirm that, also on my laptop I had to change usb port to make nvflash working. For some reasons one usb port (maybe 3.0?) does not work with phone in apx-mode.

3.0 isn't the problem iv been using it since 2months
[LG Optimus 2x] gst0098:
For some unknown reasons to me, my O2X does not work when connected to a usb3.0 port, while in apx-mode. When not in apx-mode all is working also with usb3.0. The behaviour is strange, the device is correctly seen when booted, but after that gives timeout-error.

BTW this is not a problem for me since I also have USB2 ports on my laptops.
[LG Optimus 2x] bliizzz:
Reinstalling the apx drivers always worked for me
[LG Optimus 2x] gst0098:
My driver is working correctly, the problem (perfectly reproducible) is concerned with a specific usb port, with all other ports the phone is working as expected. I also tried different cables, the behaviour remained the same.

Maybe that port has not enough power for the phone but being a USB3 port, it sounds strange to me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] okaybn:
Hi,

I recently installed CM10 (M1) Jelly Bean for my galaxy s3. Everything works great, but im noticing something from the keyboard.

I am very new to android, so I am not sure if it never did this, but when I type it doesnt automatically correct my spelling/words. I previously used an iphone, and basically if I made stupid errors, it would simply replace the words as I typed. I would not have to choose the various word suggestions above.

Is this not a feature on the jellybean keyboard?

I have gone to settings and for "Auto Correction" I chose "very aggressive" and still my words are not being replaced at all.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I'm relatively new to android but have a computer background. I'm rooted and have flashed about a dozen or so different ROMS but ended up back to stock for a few of the TW features. I've been keeping an eye on my battery lately and noticing a extremely high number of wake ups from my maps application. Last night specifically I went to bed at 11:30ish with 39% batt life remaining. I woke up and 7am and I have 19% remaining. Phone wasn't in use at all. I had 3 emails and a google+ message come through over night. Looking at GSam Battery monitor maps has very high usage for something i'm really not using at all. it used 15% of my battery coming in below the kernal at 15.4% and the android system at 28.5%. The phone was held awake for a total of 1h 11m in the last 14h by maps alone and had 1743 wake ups.

I have since gone in and turned off location services. I was not using latitude or anything. Not using GPS although I do leave it on. I have google now installed and really liked the fact it would give me driving info when it was my usual time to head to or from work. The alerts for traffic for calendar appointments was also awesome so i'd preferably like to keep those working if possible.

If anyone has any info that could help it would be greatly appreciated!

Here are some screenies to help just in case.

You could try freezing maps with titanium backup. Not sure what effects it will have on anything else though. Just a suggestion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
Well I use maps all the time. I just didn't happen to be using it in the last charge cycle. So far this morning I went into the maps settings and toggled locatoins settings- report from this device to off. I'm currently charging (off my laptop so it's slow) and once I'm at 100% I can run another cycle and see if it's made any difference. So far it looks like the number has stayed the same.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] prscarp:
I've seem many posts about this. Its a known issue unfortunately. Like you've already done, make sure location reporting is off and that latitude is disabled.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
Yeah i've seen some posts but Latitude was off and most of the other instructions for disabling more services were for different devices so the setting paths were different. Maybe this will actually work. I've noticed a bunch of wakes preventing periods of deep sleep as well. crossing my fingers I solved it myself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
small update, looks like turning off the location history does stop google now from working with the traffic updates. While I really like this service, i'm not sure it's worth the battery life it's taking to fuel it. Could be related to using a port of google now with ICS and not official jelly bean, at least that is what i'm hoping.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rmead01:
Well it looks like I got maps fixed but now the system is crushing my battery. I'll let the screenshots do the speaking. Really looking for someone with some expertise to help me out. I'm lost other than switching to a CM10 ROM.
