I gotta question...

I was going to do the upgrade now (I'm not due till January 2015). Sprint has told me I can do the easy pay option and I just pay the 100 down (yeah I got crap credit) and pay $20/month with the option to trade my phone in after a year (no fine print according to the sales associate). But if I do the 2 yr service agreement I'll have to pay $200 for the phone, an early upgrade fee (which I was prepared for) and have an additional $15/month fee simply because I wasn't doing easy pay. They told my friend (who recently opened an account) the same about the 2 yr agreement with $15/month fee for new customers as well.

It's that for real???

<br />

The $15 fee is a subsidy fee if you switch to the "Framily" plan while under a two-year agreement after 01/10/2014. If you are on the Everything Data, Simply Everything, My Way or My All-In plan then you will not have any fee as those are already built to support subsidized prices. The fine print on the yearly upgrade is that your device must be in like new condition (no cracks, liquid damage or failing hardware) and be either the original equipment or an authorized replacement from Sprint S&R or Asurion.[/QUOTE]

I'm about to get really f'n pissed.

I switched to the framily cause it saved me $30 on 3 lines. The sales associate never told me about this $15 and if that's true then I'm paying $15/month more.

I'm gonna make some calls and I really hope this is not the case cause I'll broadcast my dissatisfaction to the whole f'n world :mad:

So I changed my plan last month. I have 3 lines. The sales associate at Arnold, MO said I'd be saving money because I already have a phone and nothing about this $15/month bs. I have 5 people on my member ID.

Are you saying that I got screwed??

Edit: And I had a discount that is no longer there. Man I gotta check my bill. This is some f'n bs man. I hope all those Arnold employees get fired. I got that's girls business card somewhere.

ReEdit: just checked my bill. It's prorated so it's long but so far I don't see a $15 fee. ;)

Ok I'm calm now lol.

One last question.

Sprint associate claims you can trade in your phone every year when you do easy pay. What's the fine print on that?

I got mine at the door the day it went on sale and my friend works there so when they put them out he held it for me so it didn't get sold
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Skid71:
You can trade in your phone every year on Easy Pay.

One caveat: You must have the "unlimited" data option on that line.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] comstar:
Anyone heard a date when people on employee plans can get the M8?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] stovo06:
How long do you have to have the unlimited data? Like could I change to it and then upgrade then change back? And if I don't what are the upgrade options?

I finally broke down and went to my local Sprint Store (Chicago) since Best Buy only had the Gold in stock. The sales associate tried to convince me that I had to move to a Framily plan because they were 'doing away with' the 2-year plans. I told them no thanks and that if that were the case, I would head over to Verizon. I walked out with a 2 year plan.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Skid71:
You have to have the unlimited data option on that line for 12 consecutive months.

Your upgrade option without the unlimited data is: upgrade after your 24 month Easy Pay installment plan is finished or pay off the device in full and get another device on Easy Pay.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] stovo06:
So with unlimited data for 12 months and monthly payments, does that mean you own the phone after e year and no more monthly payments???

Sent from my "All New EVO"
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] Skid71:
No. If you have unlimited data on the line for 12 consecutive months and decide to upgrade, you trade the phone in (must be in like-new condition) and start over again with Easy Pay.

Personally, the fewer monthly payments I have the better. I'll pay for my device in full, either craigslist, swappa, retail, etc. This probably isn't an option for everyone.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] stovo06:

So I bought my Note 3 in October 2013..I have been on a SERO plan for 10 years(I go to corporate stores for upgrades to keep my plan).. I see I have an option for my line to do Easy Pay.. If I buy the HTC One M8 through Easy Pay are they going to want my Note 3 back? If so then you guys can save me a trip because I'm not giving it up :)

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] BrianBaker:
They wouldn't let me upgrade today on my current plan with Easy Pay :(... I had a feeling this would happen. They said the only way I could upgrade was to use my wife's upgrade and switch lines at the house later today or I had to switch to Framily or some other plan. So I'd be going from Unlimited everything for $132/month to $210/month.. No thanks not interested in increasing my bill. So my only option is to wait for her to go to sleep with the baby in about an hour, take her phone and go use her upgrade ;).. They had the dot view case available at the Sprint store so I already bought that with this idea in mind hahahahaha
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] reverepats:
So seeing that you kinda went thru the see as me, thought I'd let you know one thing. I don't have a Sero plan, nor a M8. I have a GS5 as of now, and I also have a Everything Data Share plan. I also was told if I plan to use the Easy Pay option, that m plan will change over to a Framily plan. Well after a couple trips back and forth between the stores and calling CS, we came up with this.

Yes, if you want to use the easy pay plan, Sprint has to change You over to a Framily plan. You csn ether choose to change jut your line, or all the lines o your account. Now... I of course said "F" that, so the plan deal I made with CS was to go thru the process at the store, call CS when I left, and they would change me back to my existing Everything Data Share plan, because the stores apparently can't do it there. Well that's BS, cause the lady that usually takes care of me was able to do it ALL WITHIN THE STOCK. It took a little while, but I was able to get my GS5 and keep my current plan. Also, they will take your N3. They always the your current device with no buyback when you go with Easy Pay

So just wanted to jump in and share what happened to me
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] stovo06:
I had an everything Data plan with 3 phones and a tablet. I got wifi so I don't need the unlimited data and even if I did my other phones don't. Still not a savings. Yet.

I posted on CL for people to join my framily. Got 7 more in 3 days. Couldn't believe it.

So as a reward to myself I got the easy pay and kept my EVO 4g lte (had for almost a year) and sold that on CL for a good chunk of cash.

So basically I got 3 phones and my bill went from 190 to what looks like 135_145. Oh I forgot that's with the free tablet (2 yr agreement) they gave me with $15 dollar 1 gig data as well. And free activation on both.

So I'm thinking this was a great deal ☺

I went to my store, traded in my iphone 5 for 135 in credit, changed my plan to framily, used the money from my iphone to cover my M8, and got an otterbox, so I didnt have to pay anything upfront, but theres also a 135 dollar credit on my bill,, so im not sure if the sales rep screwed up.

Love you Best BUY!

Got the Gold Ver from Best Buy, Price Match $99.00 for Sams Club Match

Okay so here is what I did, Contract renewal was on 6/1

Called Sprint Account Services - Option 5-5-2

Complained about service issues on current device, took early upgrade offer at $100, got them down to $60 after issues with previous device.

Then went to Best Buy,

Currently at $199, Lowered price to $99 for Match at Sams Club Offer, then additional $20 off for putting in an application for Best Buy card (which I already had one so it came back as a duplicate with no credit inquiry), then used 10% coupon code found on ebay, $8, then $35 in gift certs (called Best rewards for free 250 points offer) plus 20% any car charger.

Total - $60 with waived upgrade fee to Sprint

Total - $36 + $7 for Phone and Charger to Best Buy with 5% on Best Buy Card.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] AarSyl:
So, what the Sprint reps over the phone told me is inconsistent with what so many of you are reporting. On two different days, with two different reps, both reps told me that Framily is not required for Easy Pay. I could keep my current plan of unlimited everything except Anytime minutes (1500 minutes per month, which we don't use), and simply increase my bill with the Easy Pay.

In other words, Easy Pay is supposed to be nothing more than a payment plan. Granted, I won't do it because I can't afford a $54.18 increase on my bills for the next two years to upgrade my phone along with my wife. We're waiting for July to renew our contracts. Not thrilled about that, but that's our best option.

Correct, we went in after I got my M8, the lady had new phone jealousy. The rep didn't think it could be done but the manager said we could easy pay without framily. The lady opted for the LG g2, the thing is this kind of uses your upgrade, so you cannot use an upgrade until the easy pay phone is paid for.

When I went into a corporate Sprint store with my Sero premium plan for my upgrade the rep offered the easy pay along with my Seri plan no problem...since I'm not leaving sprint any time soon I opted to just get the $200 upgrade price...so afaik, you don't have to switch to a framily plan, sounds like a sales person trying to make their signup quota or something.

Recent HTC phones include a special version of AT&T Visual voicemail. As a result it's no long possible to download and install the standard vvm app from the play store. I've installed ARHD and would like to figure out how to get AT&T visual voicemail on this particular rom.

I've tried extracting the visual voicemail apk from my stock nandroid, but can't get it to work. I've installed it but the app doesn't appear with my other apps.

I would very much appreciate any suggestions concerning a fix or workaround to this problem.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:
Hi all-

I just received my HTC One M8 Google Play Edition today. I successfully unlocked the bootloader (I see the open padlock every time it boots), but I'm running into trouble with TWRP. I downloaded TWRP 2.7.0.3 from this thread. Since I'd like to get OTA updates in the future, I am attempting to boot (not flash!) TWRP using

$ ./adb reboot bootloader
$ ./fastboot boot ~/Downloads/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.3-m8_ul_ca.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.251s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 1.252s
$

but after the second command, the phone just reboots to the normal system. I have attempted renaming TWRP to recovery.img, but that didn't change the behavior. I have tried a factory reset, and that didn't change the behavior. If I attempt to manually enter recovery from HBoot, I get the dead android logo.

I really just want to flash SuperSU.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:
A little concerned that I wasn't able to boot either TWRP or CWM, and (while I don't think I'd flashed anything) just going into HBoot and selecting recovery also didn't work (dead Android icon), I grabbed the 4.4.2 firmware from here and flashed the stock recovery.

After flashing the stock recovery I had the *TAMPERED* label in HBoot (which surprised me a little because I assumed stock would 100% match what was already there). Now if I selected Recovery from HBoot I would get a temporary flash of "This image is for development use only (etc.)..." and then end up back in HBoot. I tried once or twice more to just boot CWM and still no luck. So finally I flashed CWM, installed SuperSU, and then flashed back to stock. I guess I'll find out when the first OTA rolls around if the system is still "stock" enough.

Thanks,

Stephen
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suprtrukr425:
I might be wrong, but isn't the command "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" whereas "recovery.img" would be the path to the recovery you want to boot to without flashing? If I'm not mistaken, "fastboot boot" would boot the phone up to the system.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:
When I did it with my wife's Nexus 5, it was "fastboot boot <image>" (and there it worked without a hitch). In the middle of other things last night I did try that and got "no such file: recovery". So I'm still open to user error, but at least that particular change didn't fix my problem...

fastboot boot didn't work on the m7. It works on the m8 I have tested it and I used an unreleased recovery to boot the recovery to pull the stock recovery from the GPE. You can boot the recoveries on sense based roms but for the GPE edition one the ones for Sense aren't booting. the dt.img's are different between the two devices.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:
Since booting rather than flashing is my preferred workflow, do you know if the "unreleased recovery" you used is planned to be released? I've already flashed Philz and flashed back, but for future use it would be convenient.

Just had the same problem like yours but the latest CWM 6.0.4.8 works for me.

I got touch CWM from here

The superuser.zip file from here

Both are made by clockworkmod

Commands

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m8.img

Once I got in the temporary CWM recovery, I backed up the entire system to sdcard. I pulled out the stock recovery image file (24MB in size) in case I need it for OTA in the future.

Then flash the superuser.zip and reboot back to the vanilla android. Stock recovery and everything else was untouched and we got rooted.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:
After the 4.4.4 OTA update, I was also able to boot (not flash) Philz recovery to reroot my phone.

Long version in case it's helpful to someone else in the future: I think either my phone shipped with corrupt firmware or I somehow corrupted it while unlocking the bootloader originally, and then I made matters worse by flashing back to a "stock" firmware that didn't exactly match the shipped M8 GPE recovery. Turned out that with that bad "stock" firmware the 4.4.3 OTA failed to apply, so to make the 4.4.3 OTA work I had to flash the 1.16.1700.16 firmware from this thread. After the 4.4.3 update ./fastboot boot <custom-recovery> still didn't work, so I did the flash custom/root/flash stock cycle. Then a week later the 4.4.4 update rolled through without incident, and suddenly ./fastboot boot <custom-recovery> worked fine.

Thanks,

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everfrost:
Something really weird happened to my HD+. I was walking by my nook and I noticed that stock was booting from emmc, but it did so by itself. Before this the nook was either off or had CM running from the SD. No one touched it. It's possible that something was pushed against the power button, but how would it boot from emmc with a working CM SD inside? I did download the generic B&N app from apps.evozi.com . I was not able to get the apk from that chrome extension or by spoofing the nook device name. I certainly hope getting the apk from a third party website has nothing to do with it. Any ideas?

I'm using CM 10.1-20130904 .
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If one of your apps causes what is called a kernel panic, the device will reboot and ignore the SD and boot directly what is installed on emmc. This was an issue with the early builds of CM10.1 running from SD and has been corrected in later builds. But it may still happen occasionally.

I have tried searching everywhere but i cannot find anyone with a similar problem.

I have an o2 XDA 2s which so far has been the best phone PDA i have used.

However, I have one small problem sometimes which happens about once in every ten calls i answer or dial, I cant hear anything the person on the other end is saying and they cant hear me too, althought the phone shows im connected and the call duration works as well. However, I am able to make/recieve calls as normal if i do a soft reset which takes about 2 mins, rather irritating. Has anyone had a similar experience? Its just so fustrating when the phone is such a superb phone that this rather small problem happens.

Please can someone advise me on what the best thing to do is, I have tried a hard reset but this has not solved anythinga and the problem remains.

Should i try upgrade using the upgrades provided for the XDA 2S on the o2 site? i understand this flashes the ROM or something. Is this easy to do and is there a chance of doing worse damage when flashing? also my XDA which is an O2 phone is unlocked onto all networks, i.e. orange, tmobile, vodafone, does this mean if i flash the rom that i will lose the unlocked networks and be stuck on O2? I would be very grateful if someone could advise a newby as to how i could rectify this problem on what otherwise is a superb phone.

Thanks

[Moto X Q&A] reno55:
I have a dev edition currently on 4.4.2 and seeing as how I cant use the nice script thats out there to restore it can someone reccomend the best , easiest way to do this?
[Moto X Q&A] reno55:
nobody?
[Moto X Q&A] drago10029:
Gotta be patient reno, people will answer when they get the chance to.

You're options are:

1. Use recovery to factory reset (google for instructions to enter recovery mode)

2. Go into the phone settings and simply hit factory reset

If you're trying to REMOVE ROOT just install supersu and hit full unroot. So there are your options, I didn't mention fastboot because the above methods are EASIER which is what you wanted.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
You lost me.... what "nice script"?

If you just want to factory reset, you can do so in either stock or custom recovery.

If you are trying to get back to 100% stock, then just use RSDLite to flash the 4.4.2 SBF for your phone (the 4.4.2 SBF for the GSM Dev Edition, and the Verizon Dev Edition are out there). Then, since you have dev edition, if you've unlocked your bootloader, you can just re-root if needed (via custom recovery and supersu).

If you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet, I would ask why, since unlocking the bootloader on a Dev Edition doesn't void the warranty.
