It also depends if the employees were on break and inside sprint, and then ran after them. I can understand.

If they were say, sitting in the food court and then chased after the guy. I would say a completely different story. But arguable.

It also depends if they were on a lunch break , and they werent on sprints time (not clocked in). And where they were exactly.

I think unless we have the full story of where they were and if they were clocked in. Then no one can really say anything of how the situation should of been treated.
[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
+1

However, if a lawyer could argue that they might have been under Sprint's hire at the time, then Sprint probably could get their butt sued.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Ok, I can see that point. If you are on company time (whether you are on a break), you need to follow company policy. However, I agree if you aren't on company time (not clocked in), then that becomes your business if you want to assist.

It's all about who gets liability. And, yes, it sucks.
[Hero CDMA General] blulitespecial:
Oh the land of the sued.
[Hero CDMA General] Digitaltigre:
How about protecting the public? Do you want to be knocked over by an employee chasing a shoplifter? All for what? To prevent the theft of a set of headphones? I once saw a video on TruTV where this 15 year old kid tried to leave a gas station after pocketing a pack of gum. One of the clerks (this very hefty woman) pulled the kid back in the store and as he tried to escape she put him in a headlock and twisted and cranked on his neck. If that was my son I would be absolutely livid. Just because you steal something doesn't mean you have opted to have your head smashed in. People make bad decisions - it's a part of life.

And why try to stop them? Try to be the hero over a pack of gum or a cell phone charger and get yourself stabbed 4 times? How would you explain that as you recover in the hospital? If you told me that story I would not congratulate you. I would tell you that it wasn't your merchandise and that your company doesn't give a **** about the value of that product. Why would you risk your life like that? How much are you getting paid? If someone tried to rob me at a job I would offer no resistance whatsoever. It's not that I'm a push over, you have to try and apply some perspective on the whole thing.:cool:
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Sounds like Sprint did exactly what they should have done. If you want to be a hero, become a police officer or a fire fighter.
[Hero CDMA General] navalynt:
Shoplifting with modern security systems is just plain stupid, but chasing down the shoplifter is even worse. If someone is willing to break one law and steal isn't it safe to assume they are willing to break more laws to escape?

It's all about lawsuits and personal safety (as already mentioned in other posts). You just don't know what a person has in their pocket or concealed under their jacket. Why would any employer want to keep around an employee who is going to take such risks?

Noble, YES! Smart? HELL NO! Even if they were not clocked in, they were still on the property where they are employed. They did nothing more then make themselves liabilities so Sprint did the right thing by terminating their employment.
[Hero CDMA General] rank78:
I've heard for as long as I can remember from any business that shoplifting passes lost revenue on to the consumer in the form of higher prices. So simply allowing shoplifters get away with stolen goods screws me because these businesses might get sued. Fine, let them keep their policy, just make sure they start a new policy that ensures cost won't go up due to theft because you can't have it both ways.
[Hero CDMA General] Costa276:
Where do you work? I need some new stuff for the house.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Which of these three scenarios do you think costs Sprint the most:

a) having a phone or two stolen

b) being sued by a wannabe hero who got stabbed trying to prevent a crime

c) being sued by a falsely accused shoplifter who was tackled by the wannabe hero in option b

Hint - it isn't 'a'.
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
It is all about and will always be about the $$$$$$ (ie lawsuits in this case). You are only kidding yourself if you think any large company gives two ****s about their hourly waged employees. The problem is what everyone has already said. The thief might sue, an innocent bystander might sue, the employee might even try to sue if they get hurt.

The only companies who allow employees to chase are ones with specially trained security. The guidelines for those employees are they must witness the shoplifter take an item(conceal is even better) and walk past the registers. The shoplifter must be 100% in their sight or on camera for the entire time they took the item until they attempt to leave the store(no exceptions). Even then, if the store does not own the property(they rent) then they must apprehend the suspect within the store. If they own the property then they can only give chase until the suspect is off their property.

These policies are not just to reduce shoplifters but because of other money related issues. The reality is that shoplifting accounts for a very small percentage of a stores shrinkage. The thing that accounts for the most shrinkage is employee theft. Their money is much better spent trying to prevent that.
[Hero CDMA General] rank78:
I wasn't aware that Sprint only had 1-2 phones stolen a year.

Nor was I aware all these interventions ended in tackles, stabbings, and lawsuits.

All I'm saying is you can't let thieves run away with merchandise AND expect your customers to fit the bill.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
You're not getting it. But, luckily, Sprint does. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] Jedis:
I'd rather foot the bill for stolen merchandise through increased phone cost/monthly cost than pay the alternative legal fees for a case that went to court.
[Hero CDMA General] rank78:
I get it, but you guys aren't. I'm saying if they opt for the no-chase policy because it saves them so much money then I hope they aren't pushing all the cost of theft on to the consumer. I'm not saying there should be a choice between policies. I don't have access to how much Sprint loses a year to theft vs how much a year would be lost due to lawsuits.

Keep in mind too that just because someone sues for X amount of dollars doesn't mean they'll get it, or even be allowed to sue after its reviewed. Just making that clarification because whenever there's a $100 million lawsuit thats what people think was awarded. Also, what exactly constitutes a no-chase policy? You can only ask someone to please don't steal? Can you block the door? Because that can lead to physical altercation. Can you go after them only to the end of store property? I'm not suggesting employees act like mobsters collecting extortion from deadbeats, just think what sounds like not showing concern for stopping theft in a

responsible/u] manner and firing people for trying to help is a bit sad when they have no problem passing the buck.
[Hero CDMA General] mrniceguy715:
stores dont just have these policies to keep from getting sued. When I first worked at target assets protection would routinely get me (because I am a big black guy lol) to aid with shoplifters. That had to stop for a few reasons the smaller one was lawsuits the other safty. I have seen people pull guns, push innocent customers, people get stabbed or hit. So is it worth it for property you can count as a lost in inventory???? My life or that of my customers is worth WAY more than an iPod or a cd!!! thats the spirit of the policies that most every retail outfit has.
[Hero CDMA General] AboveUnrefined:
You foot the bill regardless what happens because insurance exists for this, and it goes up when vigilance ends up hurting someone. So - you are better off letting criminals run and let the system catch up to them.

Smart criminals wouldn't be knocking off phones and dumb ones ultimately get caught.

is it just me??

there aren't that many reports of this issue on the net. it was briefly mentioned on one of the reviews and that was it.

anyway, on higher bitrate mp3 playback, bluetooth headset audio stutters and skips a lot, even if the device is held very very close.

wifi was not running, 3g data was not on.

if you guys think the issue I posted on google Android's bug site is relevant, then please vote.

[Legend General] yellowchilli:
Desire as well?? wow..

i think perhaps ill try disabling the HTC Sense or something

just dont understand why no one's been complaining

whats the x10 like by the way...it looks really nice but someone somewhere said SE's skin is slow?

how much battery life do you get out of it?
[Legend General] Destroyer8000:
I do have trouble using just a plain headset. I only get about 30cm range before the audio begin to stutter.

I've tried with two different Sony Ericsson headsets (HBH-PV710, HBH-610a) and a TomTom Go930.

Is it a software issue or hardware related? Repair?
[Legend General] yellowchilli:
am guessing it's hardware...

but perhaps it can still be helped by modifications in software

basically im still getting the same issues with a custom ROM
[Legend General] Destroyer8000:
Got the phone replaced with a brand new, still the same problem.

Audio in headset is really bad, but in the other end they can hear me loud and clear.

Could it be poor output power from the Bluetooth transmitter in the phone,

while reception is good?

I've restored it to factory settings, and had WiFi disabled.
[Legend General] submercive:
I've got the same problems on my Legend.

Both A2D2-profile and standard audio for talking.

No more than 80-90 cm before the static and noice occurs.

My colleague here at the mobile-store had the same problems on Hero, and now on his currently X10..

So to me this seems as an Android problem overall, but I can't tell for sure..

My Legend is my first Android handset, and I like it..

I only wish these blutoothproblems hadn't been here.. Should have been just the same as on my beloved Sony Ericsson handsets..
[Legend General] Destroyer8000:
Got a new headset a Nokia BH-602 and the audio is a lot better, not perfect but at least I can hear every word said.

It's quite strange that SE HBH-PV710 and HBH-610a including TomTom Go930 just didn't work.

I'm just curious what qualification Android or Bluez did meet to certify for the Bluetooth standard.
[Legend General] bb147:
Sorry to bump an old thread...

But just wanted to add I have the exact same issue, the bluetooth range is not very far at all, however it is a lot better then 30-60cm.. i'm able to go for about 2-4 meters with line of sight.

So i guess its usable as long as the phone is in my pocket which is fine.. just wish it was a little better like my previous phones where I can just leave it charging and walk around the house.
[Legend General] zoomee:
Bluetooth support is pretty atrocious on this HTC Legend.

Never had any problems streaming audio or using any of my previous devices with my car stereo for handsfree.

But this Legend is pants! - It won't work with Bluetooth Audio streaming at all - I just get static and some wierd clicking noises (using 2.03 latest official ROM) and handsfree connects ok - but then drops half way through a call causing me to lose my call at the time.

Any resolves for these bluetooth woes?

thanks in advance.

PS - Using it with my Pioneer FH-P80BT
[Legend General] familyhousing:
I use my Legend with a pair of Sennheiser MM400 headphones. I have no stutter with bluetooth stereo (except minor cuts when browsing some intensive websites or typing fast in landscape mode). My headset works well even with the phone in my pocket (although it skips momentarily if I turn my head right or if my hand touches the bluetooth transmitter near the camera lens).

Perhaps some of the reported problems are caused by some background process using CPU cycles with high priority?

Incidentally, I highly recommend these headphones - bluetooth playback is of identical quality to wired playback. I don't know how Sennhesier have acomplished this feat but every other brand of bluetooth headphones I have used before have had intolerable reproduction of high frequency sounds.
[Legend General] RedneckReg:
I am having this problem as well...streaming music from my T-Mobile Vibrant to my radio via bluetooth. The radio is bluetooth 2.1 compatible and the Vibrant is supposedly Bluetooth 3.0.

I used to have a Mytouch 3G running Android 1.6 and I do not remember having this problem.
[Legend General] biomy:
Same problem here !

am using Legend, and "Jwin Stereo bluetooth" headphones that needs "A2DP" to work, and its working clear but there is some silly cuts while listening mp3's and its disturbing me, i cant ignore these cuts coz are alot ! :confused:

Please tell us if there is any way to solve it ...

Thanks..

Hi all,

I have gone through the rooting for dummies guide, but as my intentions are slightly different can anyone help me by briefly writing down the steps for Rooting and Keeping Stock Rom and keeping Stock Recovery so that I can update it when google releases 2.2.

Would highly appreciate it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wind0zer:
You shouldn't have any problems updating to 2.2 if you flash amon's recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danguyf:
Which recovery you have has no bearing; so long as you're rooted, you'll be able to download 2.2 and flash it. If your goal is to make the transition from 2.1 to stock 2.2 as easy as possible then, sure, stay with stock. I figure CM will probably have a 2.2 ROM out faster than most stock phones would have been able to download it via OTA, though, so I'm sticking with CM5.0.6 and will update whenever CM does.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
My understanding is that once you install a custom recovery you can not get ota. They show up as available and are clickable but fail. This was the experience described at the last ota. Are you folks that are saying you can still get ota after installing a recovery speaking from experience? In other words did you have a custom recovery installed and sucssesfully update at the last ota?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythamp:
Thanks guys for the input, but like krabman said, i also heard if you put a custom recovery you cannot get the ota to work! Any confirmation on that?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
with custom ROMs and custom recoverys, you will not be able to install OTAs. Most custom ROMs disable OTAs since they kinda break the custom ROM functionality like root access. Most OTAs reboot the phone into recovery to update the software. A custom recovery like Amon RAs recovery can only accept ROMs and updates signed with test keys. Any update released by Google/HTC which is officially signed will not work.

But this should not prevent anyone from installing custom ROMs and recoverys since most cooks include the latest updates very soon, sometimes even before the official releases...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
What if you follow the Original Shipping Tutorial to restore you phone's original recovery system?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614850

I would imagine if you followed that you would be back to a completely stock phone that would work with OTA updates.

But, if you don't plan on running any custom roms, why bother unlocking the boot loader at all? If you haven't already done it, I wouldn't.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Amon ra recovery can only accept ROMs and updates signed with test keys. Any update released by Google/HTC which is officially signed will not work. Nor will the stock recovery work since it loses its official signature when it gets ripped so the ota cant use it because it requires an officially signed recovery to install itself with. If this is incorrect then I look forward to being properly schooled. I can say that I have yet to find anyone that had a custom recovery on at the ota last time that was able to get the update and install it ota.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
Well that's great news. I regret unlocking my phone more every day.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
To be honest this is pretty much a non issue as far as ota goes. The stock rom with the ota on it, or in other words the lastest official release, will be available to download here within hours of its release and you can flash it like any other rom. If they do a rolling release it may well be you can download it before it becomes available over the air.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythamp:
The reason I want to unlock the boot loader is to only use the metamorph and a few other launchers. I am a theme-freak so I could customize the look of the stock rom, but now that you all mention it, I guess I will stick with the Stock find other ways to theme it.

Thanks everyone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelloWorld3:
After flashing CM's ROM, I was able to completely restore my phone to shipping state (sans relocked bootloader, of course), and then perform the 2.1-update1 OTA.

So yes, you will be able to update to 2.2 as soon as Google releases the OTA, but you'll have to completely revert back to stock in order to do it?

I'm not really sure about what I'm talking about, but I just wanted to confirm that you CAN perform OTA updates even after flashing a custom recovery image/ROM.

It is based off of SuperEclair v3.0 [BETA4.1] by KOLOHE and others (their rom really has nothing in common with Superatmel's SuperEclair anymore).

It uses Sanpei's .32 Kernel for 6.35 radio.

Changelog will be posted here

.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
This rom should not be confused with the one here.

I created a new thread for this rom, because it is not based off the original SuperEclair2.1 like the other one. This rom is based off a completely different build.

Performance seems way better for me with this rom, but stability is still an issue.

I will post updates as the bugs get fixed.

I will also post a themed version at some point.

Same to me :o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
Not that this will help you, nut I don't think the forced close is actually related to the wifi.

I get forced closes with one specific app on my phone. When I uninstall the app I then get the forced close when I do something else.

This was the main reason why I was waiting to port the rom.

I think the rom is awesome and fast - it may be one of the better if not best Eclair 2.1 roms that are not sense, hero or legend. I will port the new releases as soon as the original team gets this bug solved.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
If you like, once you've ported it for 32A 3.22 radio, send me the download link and I will update this thread. We can use this thread for old and new radio versions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tigerdigi:
yes i don't like any sense/hero/legend style too. ORIGINAL Eclair is the best! at least for me. :)

waiting anxiously for your next release.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alan090:
I have the old radio port

This bug does not occur for me (weird)

I will post links for you in future as soon as I test some more

I will also make a thread possibly for my issues and updates too - as I prefer when cooking to upload any changes ASAP

I think video playback is broken in my version...

yes confirmed youtube works but video playback (mp4 movie) cannot work for some reason

any suggestion or just post?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] GuestK00288:
I was thinking the same thing.

It's a good idea for this reason to have multiple threads.

My opinion is to just post the rom as it is.

There are a lot of people working on the 32B version.

They will hopefully figure out fixes faster than we can as a smaller group.
