[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] <Laharl>:
Just got this reply:

Thank you for waiting. I had a word with my supervisor regarding this. At present there is no such promotion offer going on. We appreciate your business and long time association. It is possible your friend got some kind of credit in the form of billing error or service issue. Sprint doesn't offer loyalty credit any more. It was there till 2011 for $5 credit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
lies. they do have a loyalty program. Like other people said in this thread, it depends on who you talk to. try again later on

btw what you tell them??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] A.Priori:
got 25 bucks x 4 months via chat.

boom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
How do you guys go about when you do it online? I've never tried chatting with them online.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
i first told them that i was interested in renewal contact credit( i was due for an upgradea) then i told them that i had problems with dropped calls and low/bad reception in my area. then i told them that i have been a sprint customer for 10+ years and was wondering if they could do anything for me. then she told me that i could upgrade. then i told her i did not want to upgrade because im not getting what i paid for. she then said that sprint has loyalty program since i have been a loyal customer.

thats how i did it. also be nice about it dont be rude or mean. thats not going to help your cause.

i got 50 buck credited for this months bill then 70 for next months bill :)..

hope it works for you man. good luck :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] xCoNDex:
hi
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolwater22:
heellow :).welcome
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] koolcat7:
I tried this and failed. got "Thank you for contacting Sprint. Per account information, phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx will be eligible for an upgrade discount on 1/01/2014. We value your business and appreciate the opportunity to answer your questions."

Sprint has never been good to me as far as credits or fixing any kinds of issues. I had to jump through a thousand hoops just to get a new phone when my evo broke 3 months before contract end date. Basically had to add a line and pay an ETF fee on old line. Only reason im with sprint is truly unlimited data. If not for that, I would be done with them, as I dont feel like a valued customer at all.

So thanks for the info, but wont work for me. :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
Yes...they put a stop to it back in jan/feb from what I understand

I heard there was a company wide bulletin about websites explaining this process etc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Adam1422:
Tried and failed!

They said that this was a promotion that they run from time to time but haven't ran this promotion in about 3 or 4 months. I think the guy above me had it right...they found out and now don't give you the opportunity to get this credit! Figured i would share my experience! Thanks for the find tho! Just a day late and a dollar short for me!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dougcgrubbs:
I'm a sprint employee, working in a call center on the Customer Care end, so I can't be 100% sure on how this works since it isn't my department, but i'll give my best explanation based on my experiences.

The credits that you are referring to seem to be the credits that are given to customers that want to leave. Account Services is the department that handles retention and line/account cancellations. If anyone got a credit from them it wasn't for simply calling and saying some magic words, it was more likely "I want to cancel my services for reason X." and after much deliberation they came to an agreement to accept a credit (typically around $25 over 4 months, for a total of $100). This all depends on how long you have been with sprint, how long you have to go in your contract (less to go = more money, because if you have a $350 Early Termination Fee then sprint would rather take the $350 if you aren't being reasonable with your demands because the one thing that capitalism teaches us is that the person with their hand out won't just disappear when it gets greased) and also what your pay history is like, your monthly bill, as well as your coverage area.

TLDR; there are no magic words for free money. There isn't any promotion (that I know of) where long time customers get a chunk of money.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robi959:
What means in downloads theres is 2 versions, one with froyo and one with GB kernel ?

My girl have Defy+ 2.2.2 android version, i need to root, install recovery and than instal ROM, is this good way ? And can you tell me what to download of those 2 versions in WIUI ? Tnx..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pradeeppk:
Yes.

You need GB kernel version
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
It is very simple question and will be valid for many apps that are not available in certain regions.

I know I can still use netflix vis web browser but it would be cool to use their app as well.

Problem is, it will not be available in my region for a long, long time - can anything be done? :confused:
[Windows 8 General] Leonick:
What region is that? If Netflix is available in your region and you can use their website it should be available in the Windows Store for you as well.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
If you would look on the left, under my nick you would know that the region in question is Poland.

And if Netflix would be available in Poland I would not ask how can I get the Moder UI app + I would not say that it is not (service itself) available here ;)
[Windows 8 General] Leonick:
Right, didn't think to look at the left for region...

Since you said you could still use Netflix in the browser I assumed it was available in your region. The only way I can see to get the app if Netflix isnt available in your region would be to get a copy of the app from someone who has it installed and somehow make it work on your computer (I haven't tested but I doubt transferring even a free app in to the right folder would be enough for it to work) and that's not something I think anyone here will help you with due to illicit redistribution of their app and breaking of their license agreement and so on.
[Windows 8 General] youknowhim:
Tried the Netflix app with the ELO touch screen we have and must say the kids love it.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
I dont think it is that easy. Apps for Modern UI can be downloaded only from Windows Stoder - unless you guys plan to jailbrake the system.

And I am not sure if argument you use "not something I think anyone here will help you with due to illicit redistribution of their app and breaking of their license agreement and so on." considering everything that is done here for Android devices.

I am more interested if there will be a way to unlock Windows Store like now we can unlock Google Play via Market Enabler. I understand that with GSM modem it is much easier... but...

So far I can only use Hulu and Netflix (on Windows) via web browser. I got to say that getting stuff like Netflix app is much easier on iOS...
[Windows 8 General] SeanX:
Windows 8 store regionalisation is based on the honour system. All you have to do is change your location to the USA and Bob's your uncle.

In the start screen, search for 'Change Location'

change the windows region to USA,

install netflix, and any other apps you want

change back to your local region

You will probably need to change your region to the USA again if you need to update the apps.

I have tried this with Netflix and it worked for me in NZ. I still needed a vpn to run netflix though.

The web browser works better though :)
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Really?? That simple??? :)

I know I will (still) have to use VPN as app and service are two different thing but still - AWESOME NEWS.

This means that will be able to get other apps (if already available) like BBC iPlayer, 4oD, Hulu, etc....

BTW: Do you know if they did it the same thing with Windows Phone 8? And if WP8 has (finally) VPN support?

Thanks for the info anyway!
[Windows 8 General] SeanX:
I have no idea about windows phone 8.
[Windows 8 General] galtom:
Do you know about Windows RT? Perhaps instead of tablet/hybrid with Windows 8 Pro I could get a cheaper device with Windows RT on it...

If there is VPN support (as far as I know there is) and change os store location is as easy as in full Windows it would do me just fine.

I could do all the things I do toady on my iPad (netflix, hulu, web, email, etc...) + some more - at last comfortable typing.... I do write a lot and iPad is terrible if you work with Windows and text...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] charlatan01:
Thanks for your contribution! Do you by chance have a list of anything in particular that doesn't work?

I may load this when I get back from a business trip... need Voice and Bluetooth to be solid and I've had an issue with CM and prox sensor on calls.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MadCobbler:
Well it is obviously based on CM but I've not noticed any problems with proximity sensor on calls and as far as Bluetooth goes it turns on and I've been able to pair it up with my nexus, I don't have a BT headset or earphones so I've not been able to test with anything like that

loving the look of this rom i can guarantee the moment i get my T this will be going on it :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MadCobbler:
I don't know to be honest... what are the differences between the two phones? I would say just try it, but I don't want to be reposible if it turns your phone into a paperweight :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Jacky113:
I really hope in the future T and TX roms can be made interchangeable, similar to when dev just started on Desire Z with the two different versions. Hope it is the same case for these two phones as they seem to be identical apart from design.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rambo12345:
Hii,

After a long long time i'm back to XDA :laugh:

This is mine first android phone. Before this one i have used iphone and HTC blackstone. So i need to learn a lot.

I have already rooted my phone with bin4ry method.

Next thing to learn is how can i boot in to recovery mode?

Or even better is there a dummies guide to flash custom roms for Xperia T?

thanks,

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] AvRS:
I believe it's kernel changes that are needed but not 100%. Kali in the FXP CM thread put up his device repo for the TX so you could have a look at that as championswimmer (think that's his name) has released an AOKP build for the TX using this which apparently works. If it's just kernel related that should mean you could have the ROM and kernel as separate files and then people can choose the relevant one to them or get the updater-script to check build.prop and install the correct files for the correct device.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MadCobbler:
Yeah I asked championswimmer what the differences were... I was thinking more on the make a flashable zip for the kernel for the TX so you could just flash after the rom, don't know whether that would work though.

I'm just compiling 2.52 now so once that is done, I will have a look for the TX kernel repo and have a look what will need to be done, at least compiling a kernel will take less time than compiling another rom lol :D

Edit: championswimmer has very kindly pointed me in the direction of the device files for the TX, so I will have a go at compiling one for the TX in a bit ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MadCobbler:
Paranoid Android 2.52 is compiled for the 'T' and is being tested now... Also currently compiling for the TX so if it compiles ok that should be ready for tomorrow and I will need testers, so if you fancy testing the rom for me let me know...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkinpark01:
Hey everyone !

So, today I tried to root my phone ( SE Xperia X10 running Android 2.3.3 ) . I used FlashTool for that. Everything was good at the begining and I was following all steps and then when flashing process was finished, it said "unplug the phone then... blah blah" you already know it all.

I unplugged the phone, and I plugged it in again to root the phone but it's not working :/ Only thing that I see is Sony Ericsson logo and nothing is happening on the both laptop and phone.

I tried to turn it off and do it again, but it's not working.

So please, can you tell me what's wrong with it and how can I fix that problem ?!

Thank you !

My friend just rooted his international version model GS3 and his 3G reception is . It was bought unlocked to any carrier (T-Mobile sim in it) and it came with SuperSu and CWM installed, but none of the root functions would work so he ran it through odin yesterday and re rooted it and all the root functions now work, but his 3G isn't working right. It also says "Emergency Calls Only" in the notification menu when it would normally say T Mobile. Stock ROM.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] coled91:
I was wondering if anyone had an extra battery cover for their Verizon S3 that I could possibly buy for cheap? I have the white version and there is currently a red metal battery back on my S3. It just says Samsung at the top and nothing else. I would be willing to trade this as well if someone wanted to do that. I just figured I would ask here before having to pay $20 to Verizon for a white piece of plastic.

Please, no posts saying it cannot be done, it can.

If you do this as a service and are in or around London, please reply or PM me.

My S3 is "Amber Brown" (Unique to Phones4U I think) but I do not care if the replacement part is not this colour.

You can normally get it done by a Samsung Service Centre.

[Galaxy S III General] evilc:
Yeah, I saw that from the video, and I am not too scared to mess with phones generally, but I am a little clumsy and as it is a screen, any slip of the knife would be catastrophic.(Plus I had a penknife close on me not so long ago, badly cutting my finger and knives still freak me out a bit)

Would happily pay someone £50 to do this for me, but no way I am paying £200 to replace a perfectly good LCD.
[Galaxy S III General] evilc:
I did ask in the samsung centre in Tottenham Court Road and they seemed to think that the LCD needed replacing too, maybe I should try some more Samsung service centres because keeping the warranty would be nice as it is only a week old :(
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
No service center will replace the glass, they all change the whole screen.

I advice keeping the warranty and paying the 200, you won't regret it.

People that changed the glass (including my friend) all had it perfect, then it started lifting an air bubbles covered some parts of the screen, i know others that cracked the actual LCD when trying to change the glass.
[Galaxy S III General] BVader:
The glass can be replaced easily. I've done it on my s3 and I can tell you that geting the broken glass off is a piece of cake. Just use a heat gun and a few guitar picks,work arround the edges and make sure that you maintain the screen hot, heating it up with the heat gun so that the adhesive is warm and softened the whole time.

The glass itself is made out of two layers, first layer is the transparent glass and under the glass there is a plastic layer that gives the glass its color.you want to stick the guitar pick under the second layer, stick a half of the pick under the glass and start applying preasure on the part of the pick that sticks out of the glass. Push the pick down, towards the table and the glass will start to get off. Use multiple guitar picks on multiple parts of the glass to make sure you dont brake the screen.

The hardest part of reinstalling the glass is getting it on without any dust between the lcd and the glass. Use the 3M adhesive sticke (ebay) precisely cut for the s3 and clean the adhesive on the housing and the LCD with which the original glass was glued. That's it, good luck!
[Galaxy S III General] TheLegendaryJay:
Sorry mate, wish I could help. Good luck getting it replaced!
