[Hero CDMA General] ffolkes:
interesting. is the gsbtp thing new? i've heard a lot of bad things about their replacement plans back when i was considering one in october. people said they were always denied on some technicality, or told it'd be 2 weeks for their phone to be "repaired".
[Hero CDMA General] chippillie:
Call sprint there is a one year warranty on the phone from HTC for defects and if they still don't fix or replace tell them you are going to the BBB that is all any big company cares abought anyway. It does work.
[Hero CDMA General] clifton421:
I feel you but all I do is baby my phone. It had never been dropped, never been kept in my pocket, and have it in a seido case plus holster since the first week I got it. I have treated phones in the past 100 times worse than this and have never had these problems.
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
blaah blahh im on a family plan with 5 phones ... i pay just as much in insurance i have not filed a claim but my wife has and she had toi jump thou hoops to get a replacement.

WHY because of ass clowns like you and every other clown that file's a bull**** claim over some chipped paint etc etc my hero has the power button and home button paint GONE im not *****ing unhappy YES but i know in june i get anew phone with my plan

oh and if it's with in the first year call sprint they have to replace it under the MFW ... if not call retentions
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
lies it will not ! it only covers is AFTER They send it out to try and have it fixed with NO phone replacement while your phone is being sent out
[Hero CDMA General] clifton421:
Lol, too funny :)
[Hero CDMA General] coldsweat:
In all honesty, insurance claims are not difficult to process because of bogus claims. They are difficult because insurance companies are full of ****. Yes, its a bogus brick and cheaters never win blah blah blah. But in this case, I wouldn't shed one tear about the poor insurance company. They collect massive amounts of revenue from premiums that never result in any insurance claims.

It is also quite funny that when a Sprint rep wants to sell you the phone its an 'amazing deal, because this is a $500 dollar phone and you're getting it for next to nothing'. However, when you show them your $500 dollar phone with dust under the screen, paint chipping, and ****ed up keys its, 'well, these are minor cosmetic issues and part of owning the phone'. Nope, I disagree.
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
Look, I'm not defending the guy, he may very well be an ass clown but this isn't medical or auto insurance we're talking about here, it's asurion phone insurance. They make a killing off of us between charging seven bucks a month, a one hundred dollar "deductible" (which is more like a penalty for returning a unit that can't be refurbished) and replacing their customers phones with refurbs. It's a business and they raise prices because a) they want to make more money and b) that's just what happens, prices will go up NO MATTER WHAT OR WHY, COUNT ON IT. Unlike car insurance phone insurance is elective, you don't like it? Then don't buy it.

Regardless of any of that I think it's sad to see someone feel like they have to resort to dishonesty in order to receive the service they pay for. People like that are not the reason prices go up but imo they are the reason its such a pain in the ass to get a replacement.

Ive said it before and I will say it again: You are the customer, by choice. Be that customer who's business they want to keep. Use the right words in the right order and you WILL get what you want.

Anytime I need something from sprint I start the conversation with how much I like their company and how much I have enjoyed being their customer for x years, doesn't hurt to remind them how many lines you have. If your not getting anywhere tell them it would be a shame if you had to switch to a competitor, you need to think about things and thank them for their time. Make no threats but act like the etf's are chump change and not a factor in your decision. Also remember they keep notes on your account about cs conversations. With a little persistence you can get what you want without bicking your phone or being an ass clown.

I know there are better deals then what I have but I have no connections to sprint and I get 27% off my bill every month forever. I pay my bill and when I have a problem I always "give them the opportunity to keep my business", they have never opted to lose me as a customer.

That's all I have for this thread, good luck!

Thank you for your advice earlier. I called and said what u suggested earlier in the thread. To make a long story short, after a couple of conversations and a couple of hours, the lady in the retention dept told me that she is personally handling the issue with the service dept at my local store. She said she will call me back with a solution tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get it fixed and everything will be peachy :D

So i have my nexus one rooted and i have the desire software on it which i am loving it but the only thing is that i dont have 3g for example before i rooted my phone i had 3g at work now when i go to work i dont have 3g i dont even think i have edge on it so if u have any tips i will appreciate it thx :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cal-El:
I had that issue and the signal cutting out issue as well. I fixed it by flashing the newer radio. http://www.androidspin.com/download...Official_Nexus1_Radio_Update_4.04.00.03_2.zip

Now all works as it should, no issues at all. Please be carefull though, flashing radios can brick your device, read up on it before you do it. Its a basic flash through recovery but still be informed. :)

[Touch CDMA Android Development] benutne:
One thing I missed when I switched from stock was the suite of Sprint Apps like navigation, radio, etc. Is there anyplace I can get those programs back on my Android device now? I know Sprint has them for their own Android phones like the Hero.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Gersonian:
+1 I would love to get my hands on these too.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i have sprint navigation on my phone, along with nfl, sprint TV aparently doesnt like our screen size

i got them from a hero rom dump
[Touch CDMA Android Development] benutne:
Yeah, not from a Hero I'd imagine. I'd love to get these working on our phones again.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
I rock sprint TV on 320x480 but it's screwed up, after the first time i run it i gotta reinstall for it to work again, sprint tv sucks anyways so i never use it, sprint nav i just use google maps, NFL doesn't work - no video just audio.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] incubus26jc:
this nfl was just released for verizon but should work:)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] benutne:
If I could just get Sprint TV working I'd be happy. Actually it wasn't even the TV part I liked, but rather the radio. Ah well. My contract is up soon so I should be able to upgrade to something beyond the Touch. Wonder if they'll make me change my contract with the Evo4G...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
yea thats what happened with mine too it would play but it would only be like the top 1/3 of the screen thats why i just said it didnt work
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
what plan are you on if your on an everything plan you should be able to keep it, if not its hard to say like the employee plans you need to call into customer service to have it activated
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
the other issue i had with sprint navigation is it works fine for Agps but i can never get the newest release to read actual gps signal
[Touch CDMA Android Development] benutne:
Family data plan and my wife gets a corporate discount through her company too.

Edit, meant to say Everything Data plan. the one with like 1500 minutes or whatever.

Doesn't your navigation lose signal tho? Mine works for a while and then randomly disconnects
[Hero CDMA General] tbryan:
So I am using aContacts to replace the phone (taking recommendations on better Contact Manager apps as well!); however, whenever I receive a missed call and click on the notification at the top it opens up the People app. I have tried to remove the People app but it just tells me that the app is missing when I click the missed call function instead of opening aContacts. I guess I need two applications one to replace Phone and the other to replace People?

Also, I am using handcent for SMS and MMS and wanted to delete Messaging. I deleted it the other day but I noticed I couldn't receive MMS until I added it back.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated and if you all have new app recommendations please don't hold back -- always looking for great apps.
[Hero CDMA General] tbryan:
Does anyone have any ideas?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
I don't think you can do that without breaking something, as People is a core application.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
I stand somewhat corrected. You're trying to replace the people application, which aContacts doesn't do...but when I hit the phone button at the bottom, my phone is asking me if I want to open Phone or aContacts.

So, it doesn't replace the people app, but the phone. When I now look at missed calls and click on the notification, it prompts me to open phone or acontacts.

But the odd thing is, if I select aContacts, it goes back to phone. Weird.

Evening guys

Please read all of this. My contract on orange finishes in august this year and i can upgrade my handset.

I have 2 main questions:

Currently i pay £20/month for 600 mins and unlimited texts

First:

Can i add an internet bundle and email to this for the same £20 a month

I want a htc desire.

Second:

I don't want my phone to be branded by orange - so is there a way to debrand this phone?

please help

What would happen if i perform a hard reset on my USA T-Mobile HD2? Will my apps like youtube, slacket radio and other apps that were on the phone remain or i will have to reinstall them???

Thank you.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Hi,

All the apps that came with the phone will be there, but any apps you've added, and any contacts, etc will be removed.
[HD2 General] malisha1:
What about any apps that were on the sd card that came with the phone?? like the movies
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
remove your sd card and hard reset the phone if it worries you that much.

but as rp-x1 said:
[HD2 General] malisha1:
To tell u the truth i want the phone to go back to as it was when i opened the box. And if the reset will do that then i will perform the reset but if not i wouldn't.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yes it will return it to out of the box state, except anything you may have removed from the sd card.
[HD2 General] malisha1:
The reason why i asked this question is because i have installed and reinstalled Opera Mobile 10 like 5 times and i cannot get flash working. I think the first time i did the install youtube worked but none of the other site. Now i'm getting an error when playing youtube in the browser so i want to reset the phone.
[HD2 General] mknewman:
Hard reset with the SIM and micro-SD card out should do the trick. Anything on the SD will remain but you can clear that with file explorer. Transformers is on there so watch for them. I did it, just ran the Settings/Security/Factory Reset and watch the fireworks :)
[HD2 General] malisha1:
have u noticed any problems after the reset
[HD2 General] Psyrecx:
Is it possible to make it so you can listen to music via a normal bluetooth headset. The kind thats for making calls?
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
Try an app called BTMusic. This is supposed to push audio through any BT device with a speaker. This was done for this exact purpose. I tried it a few times, but never really got it to work with my Blue Angel.

Give it a go, you may have better luck. Before you ask me for it, google it as it is not in this site (as far as I can remember)
[General Topics] MooGoo:
After going through a bunch of 6.5 ROMS I found one that was based off of 6.1 and holy crap, it is sooo much better.

Now I have a useful Start Menu which does not take up the whole screen, gives me a handy list of recently used apps, and while in the Programs folder, a nice neat arrangement of icons that does not look like it just went through a hurricane.

Then I have simple and beautiful "non-finger-friendly" menus with no wasted space dedicated to curves, drop shadows, superfluous spacing, or obnoxious up/down arrows.

And there's more! A notification system that isn't dog slow, and allows me to get to where I want to go by simply tapping the appropriate icon on the taskbar.

Dialog tabs that do not look like they were skinned by someone who just picked up a new copy of Photoshop for Dummies.

And of course the icing on this already delicious downgrade cake; everything is way faster and snappier than it was on 6.5

But then I got to thinking, if 6.1 is so much better than 6.5, what else could I downgrade to make my life better. XP was pretty sweet. But I could run SkiFree and AfterDark in Windows 3.1. And messing with autoexe.bat and config.sys in DOS was almost as much fun as constantly flashing new roms on WinMo.

Maybe if I revert to punch cards my life will finally be complete.

Man I'm so backwards...
[General Topics] cmstackar:
well, there is multiple dosbox (dos emulator) to winmo, although the last one i tried was on wm2003
[General Topics] MooGoo:
Very true! I forgot about that.

Maybe I can use dosbox to run Windows 3.1 on my phone. Sounds pretty glorious.
[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I've done that before, and it's actually pretty cool. If the cursor-touchscreen calibration problems were fixed, and you could run most programs, I would honestly prefer Windows 3.x to WM. If you have a WVGA device, you can use this package to run virtualized Windows 3.x.

Sweet. Considering everyone seems to complain that WinMo's GUI is stuck in some kind of "Windows 3.1 hell", running the real thing should fit in just fine.

Though I don't think getting tcp/ip working on Win3 is a trivial task, much less a modern web browser.

Still, the idea of having Program Manager as your home screen shell, and Flying Toasters as your lock screen...pretty tempting.

Excellent. And I thought I was just a rambling lunatic.
[G1 General] he3r0:
hello, im happy owner of G1 with CM rom

and today I've experienced that some app

have sent a spam from my phone. (since I was @ work and all my home computers were off) therefore i deduct it was my G1 indeed.

form the top of my head, i have only few apps installed recently,

CellIDLogger, WordPress (by Automattic), Droid Comic Viewer (by Robot Comics Software), Maps(-) (by coderminus),gps status, gps test, penetrate, package tracking,

that is so far what i remember, I also had a few more apps, but i had them for more than 6 months and never had problems with phone, till i installed above apps.

Also very interesting fact is that it did not sent that spam from my gmail account that i sign to the phone with, but with secondary email configured in build in "email" app.

(and yes i did changed my password already)
[G1 General] lbcoder:
This has the sound of being *speculative*, rather than being backed up by fact.

HOW do you know that it is an android app that is spamming?

HOW is it that you figure that any app would be able to hijack the email program?

WHY do you think that any app would WANT to hijack the email program to send spam (it is totally pointless).

HOW is it that you believe that *just because* your home computer was turned off, that it happened to be coming from your phone? (you do realize that email servers use a process called *SPOOLING* that can DEFER delivery, don't you?)

What you need to do, BEFORE coming back and continuing to claim that your android phone has been compromised, is THIS:

LOG NETWORK PACKETS TO/FROM YOUR ANDROID PHONE.

The log will PROVE one way or another.

You use the 'netstat' command to log network. Dump it to your SDCARD until you think that your phone has sent spam... then check the logs.

You REALLY need to provide some substance to back up your claim. Email headers of the spam that allegedly came from your phone would be a GREAT start.
[G1 General] he3r0:
bcz only my android had accesss to that particular secondary gmail acct.

so you are saying that it is impossible?

why do peoples write computer viruses? besides only contacts from sec email got spammed.

*just because* is a good answer.

that may be pointless after wiping off my phone.

[G1 General] DaWoodster:
My bad, this was "co-incidence" that lead me to believe it was an android issue.

Looking further into this, the gmail "details" link at the bottom reports activity on my account as the exact time of the spam incident as:

Mobile	Poland (83.18.52.34)	1:32 am (8 hours ago)

So, nothing to do with android (in my case).
[G1 General] msmith0957:
It's True!

It must be true that there are [semi] malicious apps out there that while may be highly rated, but still take your contacts lists, sell them to third parties (or not), and then spam them to death.

This has happened to me on 3 or more separate occasions over the past 4 months. I can tell it must be from an application because there is no other way something would find my gmail contacts (my pc is not compromised and neither should my gmail password).

Is there any way I can determine which app may be doing this? If they already have my contacts, is there a way to stop it? It seems like once they have everything, they could have been stored anywhere, and have no use for my phone anymore. So now they just have my email and all my contacts, ready to spam on a whim.

I've since changed my password a couple times, and have performed at least one factory reset since changing ROMs about a week ago.

Any ideas on how to isolate the 'dirty' app ?

Edit:

Here's the WhoIs on the website they redirect you to in the spam mail: http://www.whois.net/whois/prescriptiondrugstoremedshealth.com
[G1 General] joss.bo:
I had the same issue.

Hotmail contacts received spam but I had no computer with an opened session using hotmail. Even more, just the contacts I used to send mail from my android's hotmail received that SPAM.

My Hotmail account is configured to receive only mails from my contact, all the others are sent to junk... I looked in my inbox, nothing, in my outbox, nothing...

Even more, I had no clues of where that spam came from, I deleted my hotmail accounts on my Android, and I sent spam again... from my hotmail account

I send an email to the supoprt team of the apps I suspected and they answered me clearly that, the builtin security on Android is so that the appli must declare the READ_CONTACT permission in order to be able to send mail to ontacts... So look in you apps that ask for this permission... Is is a good start.

I recently uninstalled the only apply that I suspected and it stop... And then, installed more, and it start again. I will change my way when installing apps and look further in the permissions aked.

Hope it helps some of you.
