[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IAmSixNine:
Not a very good analogy.

Car manufacturers DO NOT have warranty facilities.

Handset Manufacturers DO.

The Labor for your "Free" warranty repair of your car is billed back to the manufacturer.

With phones Sprint cant bill their labor back to HTC or Samsung.

With Cars you cant ship them across the country economically to the manufacturer, IF they even had a warranty facility.

With handsets you can ship it for warranty work for a low price.

Perhaps we should agree to disagree. (yes i watched MIB 3 last night.)

As a customer i am happy they offer the service.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
So we are assuming sprint doesn't send the broken phones back to HTC for a refund? Because I imagine they don't just throw the thing away. Also, at what cost are they obtaining the refurb from HTC? If the cost of the refurb is offset by the credit for the defective phone then charging the consumer would be wrong. However if HTC isn't offsetting the costs to sprint for their defective hardware then I guess sprint has to do what they have to do to break even.

Wow, I wasn't aware you could buy a TV from a cable provider? You're right, that's the same as buying an EVO from Sprint...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IAmSixNine:
I worked for a 3rd party Service and Repair center till 2008.

Back then when a new device came out we had to buy new devices to use as seed stock for the advanced exchange program. So new device goes to customer, their device goes in for repair. We get a refurb back, that refurb is next in line for a customer. Start cycle over.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
^^Very well said!

Lets not forget that both sprint and the manufacturers (htc, samsung, etc..) need one another. A cell phone is useless without a provider, and a provider can't function if it's customers have no devices. So for all intents and purposes, sprint is an agent of the manufacturer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IAmSixNine:
Well i will soon be opting out of this discusssion. Tomorrow im porting my number to T-Mobile.

After testing out their coverage and service for the past week im now wondering why i stayed with Sprint for 10 years.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
Why do people feel entitled to everything? Sprint has bills to pay just like the rest of us. You're getting a $600 phone for $50. If you feel that's a rip off there are other means of getting phone and there are other electronics insurance companies.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JTOLOGY:
Awww, I feel soooo sorry for Sprint that they have to pay bills just like us while they net anywhere inbetween 2.4B to 3.47B annually. Look at their earnings reports over the last 6 years. Poor stock holders getting their quarterly dividends and poor executives receiving golden paydays for making bad infrastructure investment decisions. Boohoohoo! Hmm I'm curious.. where do you think those earnings come from? Giving us $600 phones for $50? Speaking of which, I'd sure love to know where you're buying new smartphones for $50 when the rest of us are paying $199 -$299 and signing 2 year contracts. What other means of getting a new smartphone are you suggesting that is legitimate? What "other" electronics insurance companies are you referring to? Inquiring minds want to know. I don't mean to ridicule you, but seriously... did you review your statement before you posted it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] air2k57:
I started off as a tech at sprint, then became a rep, so I worked for them for about 2 years before leaving. My first store, was one of the busiest service and repair locations in the state, and my god...

I was amazed by how many people felt entitled to sprint replacing their phone for free, even if the reason for it not working was completely their fault! Then, there are those that literally believe that sprint makes the phone for a dollar, then sells it for $200... No matter what you say, they won't listen.

My two cents, I think it is one of the nicer things a company could do, replacing your defective device for $35, or $50... Sprint is a service provider, not manufacturer. Every device has a warranty, a customer should send device in to the manufacturer, and not expect a carrier hold their hand through the process.

Now, if you have a contract with a provider and pay a monthly fee to get your device protected, then sure, carrier should replace it. Essentially you're paying for convenience and added warranty. And carrier can take that hit on replacing the device for you. Out of however many people pay $11 a month on tep, how many actually need to file a claim?

Replacing devices with no insurance for a fee, is kind of a stab in the face to those who pay it. Sure, insurance covets liquid, physical and lost or stolen for a deductible, but what about smaller things? If I have my phone for 6 months and pay $11 a month for insurance alone, that's $66 I've paid. So if I get a phone replaced free, great! My friend with no insurance can do same for $35, so I didn't end up saving a thing!

I've seen techs smash screens off phones which are supposed to go back, completely **** up motherboards by accident, trash parts... Technically only a motherboard has to go back to the warehouse, which was insane to me! Very wasteful.

That replacement fee going up, about time! I am fairly certain company loses a lot of money on all of the replacements they do!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redneckhightech:
Hello guys, I have searched the forums and found a few posts on this but none I have seen answer this fully so I wanted to ask myself.

I have an Android device that when running some internet apps, such as browsers, lag and sometimes stick for a few seconds to a minute. I have heard that you can improve read ahead speed on SD cards, but I have not heard about if the APK is installed on the device, not the SD card. Is there a way to improve this, or would moving it to the SD and using one of the many products Ive seen that manage read ahead speeds on the SD card make any difference? The device says it has 500mb of free Ram when it begins lagging and having issues. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Phoneguy589:
Hey all. I ran across an article awhile back on how to modify a USB cable to fast charge my SGS3 from a 12v USB car charger. I took a USB cable, modified it, and plugged it into a 1A USB wall charger, then connected my USB cable from my Note to the extension cable and it started charging like it does with the huge 3 piece wall charger I got with my n8000. The Note (and my SGS3) are looking for a short on the USB cable to allow it to start charging. The following info is how I did it:

The USB cable extension has 4 wires in it.... Red, Black, White and Green.

Once you open the USB cable extension, cut the white and green wires. (These are the data wires.)

Strip about an inch of insulation off the white and green wires that would be coming from the device side of connection not the charger side.

Twist the white and green wires and secure them with a splice connector/tape. I soldered mine then used electrical tape.

The modified cable also allows you to charge from a 1A (or greater) USB car charger as well. :good:

Modified extension

n8000 charging

By the way...I assume no responsibility for anyone cutting their finger, ruining their carpet after cutting or burning down their house because they forgot to unplug the soldering iron etc.... :silly:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kayteck1:
would it load from pc's usb port? it is only 0.5A as far as i know
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Phoneguy589:
Haven't tried yet but it just might be slower. Just remember it won't be able to transfer data as you are cutting the data wires. I was able to charge it from my dual USB car charger and I'm not sure if it is 1A but it worked.

I was being a cheap a$$ the other day looking for some relatively cheap earbuds. Then I came across theses generic beats earbuds(don't laugh at me) so I got them in today and I must say they sound pretty much just like the real ones.

Lol I got a pair of beats but only the left earbud work :( they sound Awiite there is a sound different but they pump out some bass:cool:
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
so do you recommend the $5 ones?
[HTC Droid DNA] BotsOne:
If you want some beats-like headphones without the beats pricetag I would recommend the JVC HA-FX101's (appx. $20) They have kind of a crappy cord, but they sound nice if you like bass-heavy music. Can't beat 'em for 20 bucks. Also if you prefer cans over earbuds the sony MDR-XB500 are pretty insane bass-wise. Very nice headphones, they will rattle your teeth if you want them to, crisp highs and nice mids. Not too muddy. They are about 60 bucks & worth every penny. I prefer them over some of my $200 cans. And yeah, I'm sort of a headphone junky =)

There is a cult following behind the MonoPrice 8320 earbuds

Read about them:

http://www.head-fi.org/t/580769/the-monoprice-8320-mep-933-the-7-11-club

I bought a pair a while back and can vouch for them. Insane, and only about $9 delivered.
[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
Yo nice find. They look very stylish I likey :thumbup:
[HTC Droid DNA] Spiral_ouT:
I always recommend the JVC Xtreme Xplosives for amazing sounding, inexpensive, earbuds. You can wear these things for hours and hours without ever even the slightest bit of pain. Only buds I've owned out of many that felt so natural in your ears that you can forget you're wearing them.

Then you get to the sound.. Bass is deep and clear, mids are great, and highs are surprisingly good. So far, none of my friends or family that I've bought them for or recommended them to have given them anything but high praise.

They can be found on Amazon for about $18 for the older version and $25 for the newer with aluminum casing and carbon diaphragm.
[HTC Droid DNA] jslappa:
For doing yardwork ill or when I need to still hear my surroundings ill use some Vmoda in ears. But when I want to imerse myself in my music, ill use my Westone ES5s. I've tried many many in ears, and these are the 2 I've settled on. If I could give one piece of advice, get phones with removable cords. Those were always the first thing to break.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
i have them, while they are great sounding and i'm loving the case (and name), i cant say that they are painless, i've tried both the small and medium size rubbers and they both result in mild discomfort after a certain amount of time. I can live with that because they were cheap and great sounding for price range, plus it's near impossible to find ear buds that don't start hurting after a while. I recommend speakers for a pain free experience

[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
Why our phone didn't come w/a pair of beats earbuds :thumbdown:
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
Because our phone upgrade wouldn't have cost 200 dollars (or 800? if you bought it outright) if they did. Not to mention Beats earbuds are overpriced, that price tag doesn't reflect their quality.
[HTC Droid DNA] holla420:
Isn't the rezound 199 like our phone? Well at least I paid that for my phone

I'm really happy with my current setup, the built-in amp the DNA has really helped and made a noticeable difference when pushing high-end IEMs and cans.

[HTC Droid DNA] dosmoney:
i too can vouch for them. I would reccomend a couple of things. Replace the rubber ear tips with something that seals in your ear better, I'd recommend foam tips. second, let them break in on medium volume for about 24 hours or so for best sound in the long run. ENJOY!

[HTC Droid DNA] Spiral_ouT:
Review Time! :D

JVC Xtreme Xplosives HA-FX1X vs. Monoprice Enhanced Bass Hi-Fi Noise Isolating Earphones - Black

Case:

The XXs come with one, the Monoprice buds don't. Pretty simple.

Cord:

The XXs have an awesome looking red pvc coated cord. It doesn't tangle easily, stays in place when wound, and feels like it provides decent protection for the wire inside. Pretty much the standard for all quality headphones/buds. The Monoprice buds have a cloth wrapping on the wire. It tangles extremely easily, does not stay in place well when wound, feels like there is barely any protection for the wire, and will definitely fray over time. Holding it up to the light, you can see it has already started to fray 24 hours out of the box. IMO, cloth is the single worst thing to ever happen to cords.

Comfort:

As I stated in an earlier post in this thread, I find the XXs very comfortable for an in-ear headphone. I can wear them for hours on end without thinking about them.

Despite how awkward the Monoprice buds look, they are actually pretty comfortable! Far more so than I expected. From the couple hours of testing I did today, I think they're equal to the XXs in this category.

Most important.. Sound!

Tested with: Metal (Mudvayne, Mastodon, Kittie), Dubstep (Liquid Stranger, Skrillex), Trance/techno (Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack), Rap (Bone Thugs, Dre, Wayne), and Alternative/softer (Beatles, Modest Mouse, Radiohead)

XXs- Earth shattering, but clear, bass. I mean these things can pound with the right music. Mids are clear and smooth. Highs are where these struggle a little bit when listening to metal. Perfect amount for rap, dubstep, techno, and alternative in my opinion. Overall, they provide a rich and full listening experience. For metal, I still prefer my Beats Studios.

Monoprice- Wow.. And not a good wow. For a 14mm driver, I expected some basstacular ear rape. What I got was clear, but very faint, bass. Mids are decent but lacking in comparison to the XXs. Highs are crisp, clear, and have a nice attack. For my tastes, the lack of low end really ruined the experience. Sharp and clear, but not rich and full.

Outcome:

The clear winner here are the JVC XXs in almost every category. I probably won't be using the Monoprice buds for anything but movie watching on a noisy airplane. The XXs bass can be a little overpowering cranked to the volume needed to hear voices and drown out airplane sound simultaneously.

Since I was so hard on the Monoprice buds, I will say, I'm a huge Monoprice fan! I buy a large box of stuff I barely need from them monthly. This product just isn't one of their best.

Anyways, hope this helps at least one person get their perfect pair of budget earbuds. I've fallen in love with mine all over again after this little comparison :)
