I have everything 450 for $80 right now, so if I switch to the new plan, I can get unlimited minutes...

sounds decent, but I don't really use 450 a month anyway.

Something to pay attention to with the new Sprint plans.....Fine Print:

"While using your device outside of Sprint's coverage area, (ROAMING) you are allowed 100MB of data per month. Should you bypass this limit, Sprint "may discontinue service."

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
I know not that long ago my plan was $119 and that included my first 2 lines. Now its only 1 line and a extra $10 for the premium data and the 4 other lines are $29.99 each. I dont know how that happened because i thought sprint allowed you to upgrade your phone without changing your plan but now i see thats not true. Maybe i just understood it wrong....lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] quicksilvergts:
Very interesting. This makes my hand squeeze a lil more on the trigger to add a line and get the ONE instead of upgrading my wife's phone.

Then I would have the ONE and the wife would have S3 ;)

Because as of right now, I get worst service on my Virgin mobile(S3 and Evo)then on my wife's Sprint s2(go figure) and now VM is under new terms/agreement as of 8-13-13.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] quicksilvergts:
That is correct. They sell LTE phones like my S3 but.......

If they do then it has to be very limited.(as I have been to Phoenix, southern California and Las Vegas. Have only got WiMAX ). WiMAX is the highest data I have received yet from then on my s3.

Also, about 1.5 months I called about my

Bogus service. The lady said." We are undergoing a lot of new changes and I am sorry for the inconvenience" I then asked, "is Virgin Mobile Going to be similar to Straight talk" ? I got a pause then she said, " like I said, Virgin Mobile is undergoing a lot of changes "

This gives me a excuse to get the HTC ONE I have been wanting so long lol :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] alberto122509:
I have 2 lines, first line is $110 + $10 and the other is 19.99 + $10 that's $149.99 plus tax and insurance, if I get the unlimited my way, it's $90 for the two lines plus $60 for data, that's $150 but I'm getting unlimited minutes, which I probably don't need, but might as well get it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] TheWzrd:
Another difference is switching to one of the new plans will lock it in for life where as staying on my 1500 min 4 line everything plan is subject to sprint changing at their will if they choose to do so in the future. On each of the 4 phones we never reach 1 gb of data usage in a month ever. We are always on wifi, home and work so I don't know what I should do in my situation.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] OMJ:
they screwed you...I've upgraded my wifes last Christmas & I still have the $110 everything data family plan....but that only includes the 1st line. Lines 2-5 are $20, plus $10 for premium data for smartphones (unless grandfathered). Having a 21% discount helps :)

they updated the plan awhile back, it was changed to $150 for 1st & 2nd lines, 3-5 are $30/mo, no premium data charge....I was just about to update to this plan, now it's gone :(

oh, and I like this part....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] x714x:
I got the Everything Data 450 plan iirc, with my 22% discount I end up paying like $84 a month with insurance/tep. If they give me the discount on the new plan it should be right about the same but what I dont like is the small print of "Other plans may receive prioritized bandwidth availability . Streaming video maybe limited to 1mbps". Who knows if they are gonna cap everyone over a certain limit, thats what I dont want.

I just called and the sprint rep told me they dont offer any employer discounts on these plans, so I wont be switching.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] XaoSilentrzk:
I'm just staying on my plan. I'm too confused about these plans. I hope it ain't no caps with this slow ass network.

Ok, I just switched to the $80 unlimited plan. I had 2 lines family share 1500 plan which included unlimited data, text, mobile to moblie minutes and 1500 land line minutes and it brung my bill to around $150 throw in sprints rediculous fee's then it was up to around $200 a month. Now with this new plan my monthly charges remains the same, only difference is instead of 1500 land line minutes its now unlimited. Its $80 dollars for the first line and nock off $10 for each line after, so for two lines its $150 not $160, 3 lines its $140 not $150 you get the picture. So why not just get the unlimited minutes instead of limited land lines for the same price? Its worth it to me even tho I don't use a lot of minutes its nice to know I'm unlimited all around :D I hope this helped the confused

The sprint rep called me back and corrected herself. They do honor the employer discount but on the data package price, not the $50 talk/text rate.

The for "Life" term they are using is false. Its for the Life of your device. I work for Sprint and this is what we were told yesterday in our meeting before the new plans went live today.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Westfire:
But the employer discount is only on the primary like right? So basically employer discounts are only the % off $30 for unlimited. So stupid.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] x714x:
Ya, I get a 22% discount on the $69 plan which is like $15. If I did the new plan I would only get a $6.60 discount with the 22%. So really sprint is gonna make a killing with the savings from giving less of a discount

But their policy states they can throttle you on the new "All In" plan to 1mbps. I don't see that listed in their old plan. It also states that other plans get bandwidth priority. Seems to me that the old plans are better than the new.

Doesn't say that in the contract I signed. So, as per you, I can easily get out of my contract since the only throttling provision in it is this:

The new plans CLEARLY state they may throttle you at 1mbps and that OTHER plans will receive priority bandwidth.

No offense, but I rather believe Sprint's policy before I believe you.

The employer discount will apply to the data option on all lines, not just the primary line.

The speaker on my I-mate appears to have "blown". Sound still comes out of it but it is a bit distorted and the volume is low. When using a plug in heatset the sound is fine; so I do not feel there is an electronic or software problem.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rayan:
How to fix it...

Hi,

I experimented sort of the same problem.

It turned out that it was the speaker connectors because they where not making solid contact with the motherboard. As you can see on the walthrough, the speaker is not soldered to the motherboard, instead HTC used a spring mechanism that conntects the speaker to the motherboard when assembled. Over time, some devices tend to loose this solid contact so the speaker starts to loose it's power and eventually fail. However, there is a way to fix it yourself if you already ran out of warranty and if you like to take things apart... :)

Here's my walkthrough: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=8525&highlight=

Good luck!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Persephone:
Re: How to fix speaker problem

This is great Rayan !! I _will_ try it and let you know.

My speaker stopped working full stop a week ago. At least the vibrating mode is fully operational but, of course, this has nothing to do with the speaker's functionality.

A colleague suggested getting a bluetooth headset for operating the phone through it, in case there is no solution to the speaker problem.

I do not know whether anyone tried this alternative but if they have, I would like to know if it worked (just to get a feeling of whether there is a workaround solution too).

Thank you Rayan.

However, Amazon now has Sandisk Class 10 64gb microSD cards for just over $50. also a very good deal, much less than they used to be, just over twice what two 32gb cards would cost.

Always better to get larger sizes if affordable. Even if you don't think you would use that much now, you might in the future.

What is outrageous is the phone manufacturers who do not include a slot for a memory card, and then charge totally outrageous prices for increased flash memory, $100 more for bumping up the flash memory by 16GB, etc. (Whereas a 16GB card could probably be had today for $10 or so.) Of course Apple started that, but it seems that other manufacturers are now copying that as a way to rip people off.

I hear ya. But we're power user who need the space. The average user can't seem to fill that internal space.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] me:
The "security" reason is pure BS. It is clear what the real reason is. So they can charge you more for extra internal memory, many times more than that memory actually costs. It is a scam, if you ask me.

The same units that don't have memory cards usually also have no replaceable battery. Also for "security" reason? No, it is so when the battery gets bad you have to buy a new phone, rather than replace the battery.

It is sad to see other manufacturers copy Apple in that regard.

If people stopped buying any device that did not have a memory card slot and replaceable battery, the practice would stop;

As far as more space only being necessary for the "power user", I disagree. Smartphones are excellent media players, and everyone likes to listen to music or watch videos. With more memory available (like via a 32GB or still better a 64GB memory card, you can put a lot of music and videos on the device. One doesn't have to be a "power user" to do that.

After personal experience and reading a lot online I won't buy anything but the Samsung micro SD cards. I have SanDisk cards too, but none of them run the advertised speeds or can sustain the speeds. I found this out the hard way with my GoPro camera. It won't keep recording video if the speeds drop below 10mb/s so it shuts itself off. The only one to work was the Samsung. This may not be as a big of a deal on these phones, but it was enough to convince me. I have 3 64gb SanDisk cards and not of them benchmark the advertised speed.

this is the one I bought from Newegg, it was more expensive but worth it.
