[Sprint LG Optimus G] :
Is this when i pipe in that sprint removed my tep on the phone...for no reason.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Can you tell me what will be changing?. I got the phone and a new contract in hopes of getting this phone with future updates. Its notbillegal to use this method as it is standard with contracts. It is just that id rather have a phone with continued service and not with a company who will remove my tep just because of me being able to force them to give me a gs4 or something due to how tep works.

Thanks might go to big v. But ill see how things turn outbsoon.

For those of you that are gonna stick around with sprint and have an update soon, Amazon has the Galaxy Note 2 for $100.

Idk how I got here...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
I asked my regional about this about a month ago and he said its different depending on where you live but from his understanding some people will see a $1-2 increase or decrease in their bill. But he was supposed to get me more detail on it but forgot to ask lol. Either way he said it should be nothing for our customers to ***** about.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
It's not necessarily *****ing, it's a way out of contract for some since it's written in their contract. Since I joined Sprint 3 years ago, my bill went from $170 to $225 on a 4 line family share. They removed discounts from line 3 & 4, which I was OK with but it seems like every few months the price is going up.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BonezMontana:
This doesn't apply to an early upgrade though does it? Back to topic, is this also true for the AT&T version? Even though we won't see any official updates, wouldn't it still be possible to port over Key Lime Pie?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sirswag87:
I really really love this phone and its sad to see it go EOL. Guess its time for the HTC One! Please don't hate me for being excited for a greater phone. And if you don't think its better you probably shouldn't be on xda anyway! :o

[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
I don't think we will see Key Lime Pie. Not from LG at least.. It is like the song "No one is to blame". You just can't win. That song describes fragmentation perfectly.

And to the original post, it has been confirmed by looking at other sources. EOL is happening.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] j4g3rb0mb3d:
Is this grounds to avoid an ETF charge? If so, I'm leaving Sprint. 3G sucks in Chicago, and dev support has been horrible for the OG. I do not want to be tied down to this phone for the next 19 months.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] promek:
I dont understand how they can possibly EOL this phone . While they still carry the kyocera rise, milano, and zte fury, and the torque. 2 of them are still on 2.3 gingerbread. This does not make any sense!! As a 12 year customer im very disheartened by this.

When You Don't Have To Pay An Early Termination Fee

You aren't responsible for paying an Early Termination Fee when terminating Services:

(a) provided on a month-to-month basis; (b) provided on a subscription basis that do not include a Term Commitment; (c) consistent with our published trial period return policy; or

(d) in response to a materially adverse change that we make to the Agreement as described directly below.

Our Right To Change The Agreement & Your Related Rights

We may change any part of the Agreement at any time, including, but not limited to, rates, charges, how we calculate charges, discounts, coverage, technologies used to provide services, or your terms of Service.

We will provide you notice of material changes—and we may provide you notice of non-material changes—in a manner consistent with this Agreement (see "Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement" section).

If a change we make to the Agreement is material and has a material adverse effect on Services under your Term Commitment, you may terminate each line of Service materially affected without incurring an Early Termination Fee only if you: (a) call us within 30 days after the effective date of the change; and (b) specifically advise us that you wish to cancel Services because of a material change to the Agreement that we have made.

So, I'll take this as a yes?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] BBetz:
This just sucks... I love buying new phones and finding this out... If I can't get a new phone in the 15 day return period I have, then I'm going to root this sucker. Thanks for the information. I appreciate it!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Scotty_Two:
Technically (and legally) yes. I've been hearing that it's very challenging to get accomplish though as you have to call customer support (*2) and convince the rep to waive the ETF, and we all know how competent Sprint customer service reps are (and this time we're talking legal matters). I've been keeping up with this thread as there's some good tips on what to say and when to know to give up on a rep and try again. I think I'll be calling tonight and giving it a shot.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] j4g3rb0mb3d:
Keep us up to date as to what happens. If it works, I'm going to try it myself.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Apollos_eyes:
I thought this question was asked earlier but I'm not sure...

How will this EOL affect the current development of the device. Will this mean EOD from our gracious devs? My understanding of the new s600 processors that are shipping is that it's merely an overclocked version of the s4. Which in theory would mean ports from the lgog Pro wouldn't be impossible, correct?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] KSUJedi:
Think this has been in the works for awhile. Had a friend who dropped and broke is OG about a month ago. Sprint TEP wouldn't replace it, said it had been discontinued and they didn't have the stock for it. Gave him an SIII instead.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MTsol:
If anyone wants to take word of mouth I asked today about eol and I was confirmed that it is NOT eol. Before anyone asks I work at a sprint corporate store.

---------- Post added at 02:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

The discontinued part doesn't make much sense to me because tep should still replace it. There is truth in them not being able to replace with another lgog because I know that they are on backorder.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cowfodder:
Sprint has been known, in the past, to temporarily put phones in EOL status when they are backordered. They did this for a short period with the original evo.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Illionaire:
All Sprint announcements I have seen indicate long term/permanent EOL for this device. I would assume options including ETF waive, and/or hopefully inherited upgrade eligibility for the OG Pro/LS970 equivalent.

Sent via Optimus |G|enius
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ncfastls1:
Asurion gave me a brand new Evo 3D to replace my OG Evo when the screen broke just because they were out of stock. If the Optimus G gets EOL'd and all the stock of those phones dries up, I'm sure they will give you something just as good if not better if something happens.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] zomgalama:
How likely is the lgog pro gonna be an upgrade for LGOG users? Still within my 15th this device and tally love how it feels in the hand and how amazing the screen is.

Sent from my Sprint LG Optimus G
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MTsol:
I doubt they would give that as an option because it would be more of an upgrade vs something comparable. The galaxy note 2 would be more than likely an option in the future.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RyanEJ25:
The Sprint Optimus G is not EOL. I just talked to regional manager and its a fake. The email address ending in Wireless advocates proves that. They do not carry sprint. and sorry guys the Optimus G pro will be exclusive only to ATT. they bought exclusivity right.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] enik_fox:
What the hell are you talking about? They carry sprint in select districts and T-Mobile in others. Do your homework before you post!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MTsol:
The LGOG is NOT eol. Sprint is even going to start carrying the folio case next month
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
I would also like to confirm. Just talked to our Indirect account executive. He says it is not on the EOL just on back order. As far as he can see (3 months) it is definite that the optimus G will be in production and supported by sprint for at least the next 3 months.

He also was in talks with LG about this and they also say the optimus G is still on contract and are in works with a new update that will resolve a lot of bugs mainly the messaging app and new qslide features and even hinted at a 4.2 release but when asked if 4.2 was the next release they said "I am not allowed to confirm which version of android the update will be" but said it will be a version of jellybean. As all of you know 4.2 is jellybean ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RyanEJ25:
Not here in LA when i talked to them.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] enik_fox:
The country is a lot larger than just LA. Most districts in the south east sell sprint. So before you call something I do fake do some research
[Sprint LG Optimus G] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The account services rep for my company's business account told us it was showing as EOL in his database as well. We got a bunch of LGOGs for our work phones and they're all be swapped out for a mix of s3 and note 2s in the coming weeks due to the EOL listing.

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Anyone telling you this phone isn't EOL needs to pull the production list for phones.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
As for archtelecoms standing the phone is not EOL. We have talked to our regional and IAE and the phone is still a required handset for our chain. Our lg rep has even said after contacting his boss that its still good with sprint for at least the next 3 months. Confirming everything I've heard from regional and iae.

On my lunch break I went to the corporate location down the road and they too have heard the rumor and done their research and said its not on eol list either
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Archtelecom?

I have the email proof from our regional LG guy stating the EOL for a newer handset.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Lokifish Marz:
http://www.wirelessadvocates.com/index.htm

Yep. That sure looks fake. Now I just need to figure out how I have been buying stuff from them for over two years now and at one point was offered a job with them.

@Epic If you are not bound by a nondisclosure would you mind posting the email.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lol. I know right. I guess I need to tell our account services rep he's either stupid and/or a liar as well. I mean he works directly for sprint and not a 3rd party so you'd think he'd actually know how to read an EOL listing in their database, but according to ^ that guy ^ (not loki, the other one) he must be illiterate or a liar. :shrugs::rolleyes:

☆SoA: Son's of Android™☆

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MTsol:
So this thread is a mass mixture of people claiming they're told it is EOL and isn't. If it is EOL why would we (sprint) start carrying another case for it next month?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] :
EOL can be done for several reasons and then later removed. Having cases does not mean they will keep it. As a lot of stores carry product for many different phones. Now an EOL can mean that they can't. Keep it on stock for various reasons as well and is just a warning to stores to not order anymore because they wont be able to get them for awhile. EOL can also mean that a device is no longer going to be sold for many reasons, such as defect, high cost, high returns, disputes with manufacturer, or other such reasons.

Don't. Freak out just yet as it can be many minor things for now. I suggest we just sit back. For now peoples.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] outerpip:
Sounds like how we were "about to get JB" which meant 4 or so months later...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] alsaces daddy:
Wtf is the point of this? EOL? We get nothing after this jb? Sucks. But this phone rocks. And we have great devs. Rock it son.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:

Sprint starting to run adds really pushing the OpG as an elite phone here in Ohio.

Pretty sure they wouldn't be blowing their advertising wad on a dead product.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dr. Mark:
I just read on Android Central that the Nexus 4 got a updated design. Perhaps the OG will too and that would require a new SKU.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] outerpip:
Woo! LGOG with phone nipples! Too bad so many people use a case.... Sigh.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] ABurningFalcon:
We have the camera bump, so no point in nubs
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
So, the Sprint store near my house has none in stock and none on back order.

Here is the kicker. If your phone breaks the only option you have as a replacement phone is the Samsung Victory.

I looked at the screen myself. That is completely absurd. The Evo or the S3 aren't eligible for an exchange. So, no one break your phone. You will not be happy!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kmull4:
I paid for this phone and pay insurance each month just in case something happens I'll be covered. The fact that this phone is already eol after not even 6 months and the pro was announced just 2 months after this phone was released really pisses me off. If I break my phone and sprint tries to give me a phone that is not equal to this one.. Then I'll say goodbye to both lg and sprint
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
You won't be laughing when your sporting the Samsung Victory.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] alsaces daddy:
I'm positive there's a pun in there. Lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] :
Dropping my tep if this is the case. If theybdo this to me. Them hello to verizon prl and im off to vz... i just want them to honor the tep contract... data speeds are okay here now... but tep and the victory.. not happening to me...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
If another Sprint employee wants to confirm go for it. Let's just say I am pretty angry right now. I don't want to get rid of my phone. But, if it breaks I don't want to be hosed.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] :
See my response above about it. It basically is screwing us over. What is our phone labled as? Midrange or something. They don't have any left so what let us use the tep. If you don't then let us out contract free.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mindspin_311:
If there are really no more in stock, I wonder what would happen if I were due a replacement under the Best Buy insurance that I have?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Mines showing backordered. But it gives the Victory as a second option. This is for service.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
I'm sure there's another store in the vicinity with some in stock.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
It wouldn't matter if they did. The issue is wide spread.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] treezy26:
I just had to get mine replaced and the sprint tech tried to get me a refurbished one but I told him that was a no go. So instead he ordered me a new one. Showed me the screen and I was lucky enough to get one of the last three. Didn't even think to ask if it was eol...

Idk how I got here...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Well, after four phone calls and a store visit this is where I am.

My phone is not the only one. They have escalated the issue to LG. The only fix is a software update. The messaging bug is an annoyance but the headset issue is going to drive me crazy as much as I ride.

They can't give me another optimus g. It wouldn't fix the issue anyways. They are going to call me back tomorrow and see what other options they have. They said I could wait for another update but that won't happen for a while, if not ever. The tech said Sprint might drop LG all together. They aren't happy about software updates and other stuff.

He said it looks like the Optimus g is being faded out. He also acknowledged that lg was suppose to fix the sms problem back in December but has failed to fix it yet even though they said they have.

It really doesn't bother me. I just want my headset to work like it should. I doubt want to jump ship. I might be forced to though. Or I guess I could go buy a cheap throw away phone just for music.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Headset issue? Every night after work I go outside. Light a few and listen to music. About an hour or longer very night. Been here sense zv8 and have not experienced anything out of the ordinary with using a headset. And we are pretty optimistic about the optimus g at our store. If we can fix it we order a new one for you. Only the refurbished is on back order for both asurion and AE(in store insurance through tep). If the phone is not physically damaged we order an AE for a new device. Just did one a few days ago. Came in the next day. Also just got a shipment of 12 more devices. Already sold 5. Still our highest seller for our district. If it just works then of course they are going to have less returns and less to refurbish. We had this exact same issue when the s3 first came out and still with the iPhone 5. Some replacements are taking up to 2 weeks (about the same as the optimus g) the only thing our regional and several other members of sprint can think of about this whole EOL rumor is because LG is not a popular brand and finally after they release a popular device people are freaking because the company (sprint and LG) can't keep up. Proven this with the nexus 4. Lg just sucks and production.

Anyway. New devices are still available for order. Refurbished devices are on backorder. Just like the iPhone 5.

It has only been hinted at an eol soon and phased out of stores that have sold very little. But as far as the reports say, this device will NOT be on the eol list for at least the next 3 months. Also lg said even after the release of the pro and other optimus g brothers and sisters they will continue to support updates for the current optimus g. Just as they did for the viper once the og was released bringing it to ICS.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] N4STYNATE:
FYI it was a nationwide system glitch. The Optimus G is *NOT* end of life.

Even Asurions (TEP) system reflected EOL but its all been caught and fixed.

It was ironically the opposite. The LGOG was extremely backordered due to high demand and whoever updated the inventory status board accidentally put EOL instead of Backordered.

We are all good guys. This phone aint going anywhere. It actually has the highest satisfaction rating out of ANY phone for Q1 2013 according to PC Mag.

Now we are getting JB, good devs coming over, AOSP - this phone is gonna be nasty here shortly.

Tsdeaton, you say there is no head set issue. Try pushing the button on your headset while listening to music. The fact that it opens your dialer app isn't a feature. Now do it with the screen off and playing music. Yea, it isn't going to do anything at all this time. Das kaput
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MortFlame:
I cant recreate this bug on my plantronics m50 headset it doesnt do anything on a single click which is great for me when im working and bump my head into crap... holding the button allows me to say a command and double clicking redials last number and i always use it for music single click does answer calls i believe but it handled it on my og fine no bugs music turned itself off call answered.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hellot1M:
Ahhhh lol ok I see what you mean now. I noticed that what I first got the phone but thought it was the ROM I had flashed. So I just gave up and manually switched the song myself. There was a similar issue on one of the nexus ROMs I used to use and it was a dev issue. In some updates it would work and some it wouldnt. Finally he got the idea. I'll try to get in contact with him to see if whatever he had to do would work for our device..

Or is it a hardware issue?

Edit: it was with a kernel he was using compiled with his ROM. Flashing a different kernel fixed the issue

Edit edit: there were a few times with francos kernel that the headset buttons wouldn't work on a nightly but was always quickly fixed in the next or reverting back to a stable version.

Att might release lgog pro next month

Well rumors say att will drop the lgog pro next month and sprint was pretty quick In following suit when they dropped the original lgog. If the pro does drop on sprint it would definitely be eol. I mean I don't think they want to have two phones with super similar names. That would be a nightmare for sprint stores.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
I can't say I agree. You could be right. But, the Note and S3 kind of throw that logic away. The Pro has a similar name but it is actually a phablet.

I can't see the G sticking around much longer with the S4 and One launching. It would be a perfect time for the Pro to launch. The Note 3 probably won't come out until the fall so it has a few quarters to be the top dog phablet at Sprint.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] airbear360:
I'm just throwing it out there that as of today, I don't see any information listed for the device going EOL. The system I use to check this information does tend to not be as updated as it should, but it is stating no EOL listing for 90 days. Keep in mind this isn't absolute, just what I see in my inventory system. I apologize, but you'll have to zoom on the picture.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Really doubt they would eol the g when the evolte and gs3 are inferior and have successors out but still not eoled. The g has not been replaced yet by anything from lg. It's still their high end flagship.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmancini:
Hey everyone. Been searching for a solution and can't find one anywhere. Starting to think it may be a hardware problem. I quite often get "camera has failed" and then camera crashes. I have this problem with any ROM that I use whether it be a CM AOKP or stock ROM. I have tried returning to a completely original locked ROM and still nothing. Wondering if anyone has any ideas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
Off the wall thought, the camera pretty much always crashes if you have any 'torch' app running, as in using the lights from the flash as an actual flashlight.

Camera gets screwy when trying to use its hardware when something else is, and just gives up without trying.

Just an outside thought.
