[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ns4g4me:
Why bash people repeatedly. If u don't like a certain service and feel u know better than them then y bother with them in the first place. Go to another store or another company. Yes they may have improper knowledge but I'm pretty sure they went through training courses so it's not their fault but more likely sprints fault. I always hate when people talk behind others backs especially on the internet. Lol with that said my phone only heats up while using navi or continuous use.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slayer69:
Its an epidemic with sprint stores......Maybe some sprint exec will read this forum some day and they will work on giving their people the correct knowledge. We are not bashing them....we are just stating the obvious and sharing the horror stories. Makes people feel better to come here and be listened too when you are made to feel like you are clueless by people who are getting paid to be even more clueless. These people get paid for serving up bull crap.....I am not sure if you are ok with that. Sounds like it. We have a voice and should be allowed to use it. You have said your peace now go away..lol.. so we can continue to enjoy our "BASHING"
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Felnarion:
Honestly, I don't believe most things people complain about because they're an angry customer and I'm only getting one side of the story.

You have no idea how much is made up, exaggerated, misremembered, or purposefully misrepresented.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ns4g4me:
Lol I understand what everybody is saying but I would assume if people had a problem they would complain to supervisors or corparate or actually have their voice heard by somebody who can make changes . . ... Not just to us lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] apalapala:
I wanted to resolve my concern with Sprint because it was one bad experience out of 12 years as a customer. Also, terminating my two-month-old contract would cost $350 plus the expense of purchasing a new phone and setting up service with another carrier. Rather than just leave in a huff, think it makes sense to try to resolve your problem. And without resolution, take the complaint to the intertubes to see if anyone else has had similar experiences.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] apalapala:
Update: Spoke with HTC

I've been mailing back and forth with HTC, who already said the advice was completely incorrect.

I had a nice talk with a very polite man on the phone from HTC today. He said these Sprint store employees were giving incorrect information discouraging installing any apps from the Google play music store, that the phone is incapable of loading music files, and to never use Google Play Music.

He politely explained that the phone has mechanisms to shut itself down if the core temperature reaches a truly critical level. Also, he siad that it's true that it's possible that some of the hundreds of thousands of apps in the Play marketplace might cause programming hiccups with HTC's Sense, especially anything that looks at the battery or open processes.

This explanation is, in my opinion, more reasonable than "never download any apps!".
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] slayer69:
I don't know....I was laughing pretty hard when I read the OP's story.....total entertainment value there.......and it reminded me of my fun times I had at the store here. If I got a dime for every time they feed me bull **** I would not have to work. What makes it worse for them is that I used to work for a cellular company and did all their phone and network testing......and I can tell you these kids know nothing about how the software works between the towers and the phone. And it really gets bad when they try to say your phone crashes the network...........meaning she was saying my phone would bring down their network....that is just way too funny.....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] robfactory:
You shouldn't have to pay a deductible since the phone has a 1 yr warranty against malfunctions and/or defects.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Burkettacb:
Go to gethuman.com. type in sprint, select the top contact link listed. That's a direct line to sprint customer care, ask for the advanced technical department. Speak to them, I've had great luck with this department on issues with my phone's in the past. Using gethuman.com phone links to corporate lines, you have no wait times usually and they are very knowledgeable. They will send you a replacement free of charge in most instances. Whenever I dial *2 from my phone I always get idiots and spend most of my time on hold.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
Helpdesker here (not with Sprint). At the top, I'm with basically everyone here-- if I were told this by an employee, I'd probably have to get kicked out of the store for laughing so much. What complete balderlash! Next time, try to snag their names and see if they sing the same tune knowing you have that information. On the other hand, it also sounds like they flat out didn't know what they were talking about, so it would have been hard to incentivize them to care.

- - -

As far as actual useful things go, if you'd brought your phone into us (no chance of that, we're a college helpdesk), here's what we might have asked you.

1) If you put your phone into Airplane Mode and use it normally (as best as you can without connectivity-- play some of that local music you've got, or play a game or two ;) ), do you still have the overheating issue? If so, it could be radio related (Wi-Fi or cellular). Even still, we still wouldn't know if it were app/software related, or a hardware issue.

2) If you put the phone into Airplane Mode and then switch on Wi-Fi, using the phone normally (without cellular connectivity), do you have the same problem? As above, at this point we still would only know it might be Wi-Fi related, either because something is keeping the radio active (bad signal, bad app programming), or the radio's busted.

3) Switching off Wi-Fi and Mobile Data, but using the phone normally (telephony [calls, sms, etc.] working), do you have the same problem? If yes, then it comes down to an app problem or hardware issue, because even with atrocious signal, you never should be generating the kind of heat you were running into if you're just trying to pull a basic signal suitable for voice/sms.

4) After you wiped to stock, did you have any heating issues? It's not a question of how much "data" is on the internal storage block-- that's probably the most idiotic claim out of all of this (the type of flash storage used in the One, like in any drive, uses the same amount of power to access and write data regardless of capacity, unlike a spinning disk drive where you conceivably might use more power to pull files on a full disk if you're using a fragmentation-prone filesystem), and it sounds like the rep almost believed that gauge was like some kind of a horrible countdown to doom. The important thing is whether or not you had some software running rogue and keeping your CPU/radios active.

5) If all of the above were negative, I'd try downloading a task manager or CPU monitor (like Watchdog, although it's been eons since I've used it). The only thing I can think of that's reasonable in your case is that you had a badly designed app (one that didn't take poor connectivity into account) that kept your radio and CPU active. Anything wakelocking a phone processor in your pocket can be bad news for heat, especially for a phone with a metal chassis.

In any event, hope your troubles ease!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bstevens23:
I used to work for Sprint and this kind of crap happened all the time. The sales people are essentially told to sell anything no matter what. Luckily a good portion of the people at my store were intelligent beings with their own knowledge of phones. The problem is 50% of complaints are illegitimate. People want a free replacement or just shouldn't have a smart phone. And the management is typically dumber than the sales person

My advice? Call and ask for a tech first. If they don't know what they're talking about then don't waste your time going in.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] diaforetikos:
Luckily and unfortunately, I am a Sprint technician. One of the first things I noticed while in training was how uneducated my coworkers and mangers were about the phones they sold. My manager tried to tell me that if a customers phone was lagging, it's a virus... Really, a virus?

My coworkers recommendations towards customers were based on misinformation they received from word of mouth. After a few months, I found myself constantly correcting the sales reps while they were selling to a customer because of the information they chose to relay just to make a sale.

We also have a forum between all technicians within Sprint that we can share information specifically for each phone. I would say less than a fifth of the techs actually use this, which is a very powerful tool because, unbeknownst to our customers, we actually have very intelligent technicians who post vital information about specific phone issues.

All this information that I've learned was not in my training, but by asking smarter techs. We have access to so many powerful tools and yet, our mangers, leads, and district managers do not educate us about them.

In saying this, I do apologize on such a poor experience you've had in a Sprint store. Sucks to hear that I work for a company that is ok leaving their employees full of ignorance to pass onto our customers. Glad you found a small solution to your problem. Overheating is a known issue with this phone. Thankfully you've found the cause.

Also, if you call customer care and get technical support, you are basically walking back into the store you just came from because they aren't educated as well either. I've never heard of any advance technical support, but if it exists, I'd recommend them over customer care. And if you ever want a true solution to your problem, email the CEO and regional and district managers.

When calling customer care, ask for the retention department and be very adamant and firm about what you want.

Hope some of this information helps some of you out there who have grown frustrated dealing with Sprint.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
diaforetikos, as a technician, can you verify for us the veracity of this important web rumor?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] apalapala:
Would you believe that after being a customer for almost 12 years, I've never had a bad experience with Sprint. This was my first, and terrifyingly absurd. It was the second worst customer service experiences of my life.

I did email the district manager and the CEO, who's office called me a couple times. Several Sprint people have reached out by phone, and my work schedule doesn't allow me to pick up when they call. Although I included my customer account number, I never asked them to call me. But I understand. I talked to HTC, and they were very helpful and courteous.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] diaforetikos:
This pretty much sums up our customer care and tech support reps... I literally lmao. Good find. Now I'm interested to find out if there really is a back door...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
Hope your issue has been resolved!

XKCD is a beautiful place. And I don't think so. One service we usually offer is to call manufacturers on a student's behalf, and sometimes what the reps will tell us to do literally leaves everyone in the room speechless. We do tons of phone support to elderly faculty members and international students who have never had access to newer tech (one student who trained with us had not had internet access until he came stateside, which was a sobering experience), so it's not like we didn't know how awful it can be sometimes.

This was just egregious.

I get that the thread you linked is a request to bring it to the Touch (and that's the one I could find) but the way your OP reads is as if it was already done and now the links are dead..

So at this point it seems as if it's still a request to make it happen.

You could reach out to [MENTION=2455860]VeNuM[/MENTION] and ask him if he still has his previous work.

Or [MENTION=2812069]locoboi187[/MENTION] and see if they still have it.. Looks like it was shared on IRC only and no dev thread was made here for it..

Looks like barnacles got JoyOs's link for ya. If you want heres LewaOs ￼

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65463789/LewaAlphav0.01.zip

Flash from el26!

To turn data on go to System settings - Mobile Networks - Access Point Names - and click the dot for sprint.

Just to let you know this is a extremely alpha build. I don't think the camera works... might have some force closes. Not a daily driver.

It's located on the second to last page. It downloads something:). Maybe reach out to barnacles(the mentioned dev) or _dan(poster) and see what exactly LewaAlphav0.01.zip is :)

Edit: after Googling a bit, I found that LewaOS is similar to JoyOS. I have yet to find anything downloadable for JoyOS, but I did find some porting guides, so it can be done:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] czonin:
Since I switched to AOSP based ROMs I've noticed that my launcher drastically slows down after awhile of uptime. I've been on a number of different ROMs using both Nova and Apex Launcher all with the same results. Rebooting the device fixes the issue but not restarting the launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
Well, technically, these aren't phones anymore. These are small handheld computers that, oh BTW, can also make a phone call. They will need a reboot from time to time. I usually reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days to keep it snappy and I also wipe the cache and dalvik from recovery like once a week (more frequent then other people, I know) to also keep things snappy.

Keeping the phones up-time like a week at a time or more you might start to see it get sluggish.

Hey guys,

I was playing with the boot animation, but it didn't work. So after I rebooted for the first time, after changing the animation, my phone was working perfectly normally, so I didn't mind. But then after a minute or so of using it, it froze, and at this time the phone was locked, so it just showed a black screen, with no response. :( I took out the battery, because it was overheating in my pocket at school, and now, when I put the battery back in, and turn it on, it freezes after a minute or so of use. What should I do now? Any suggestions help!

Make soft-reset

Go in the manager of automatic loading and check that unmap_volume.exe

It loaded by the first. If it not so - correct and again make soft-reset

Copy in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ files:

SimUp.exe, SimDown.exe.

Further go in Start/Settings/Buttons/Volume Up and Volume down

Also appoint performance of the following programs:

SimUp.exe - emulation joystick up

SimDown.exe - emulation joystick down.

How to remove:

Remove files unmap_volume.exe, SimUp.exe, SimDown.exe

Before removal of file AddHotkeys.exe finish process AddHotkeys.exe.

(for example programs Dinar MemMaid or SKTools)

Make soft-reset
