Hey I totally understand how you can consider this practice to be unfair. However, from a business point of view you have to build some sort of credit worthiness before they can start doing payment plans. I have never worked for sprint but a rep in my sprint store in Gboro, NC told me that this is true. Although your circumstances are a little different than most. Try to keep a positive attitude that everything will begin to look up. Bitterness will forever keep you in your same situation. Another option would be to sell the Evo for $400+ use $200 to get a cheaper phone on another carrier and 200 to pay sprint off.
[EVO 4G General] simplicity baby:
I found going straight to retentions is the best way to deal with Sprint's idiot customer care (they should change it to customer I-don't-care). I recently called retentions because I wanted to cancel a line so I could get the iphone 4, but the person at retentions just moved up my upgrade up two months early so I could get the EVO instead (they even got me a 25% discount on my monthly plan after telling them where I work). Just ask to get redirected straight to retentions because, just from my own personal experience, I've found that they're able to do things customer care says they can't or are unable to do.

[EVO 4G General] phinnaeus:
You know, a lot of people make the mistake of saying "hung" as the past tense of hang. This isn't so unreasonable, as I said lots of people make this mistake. The correct form, is of course, hanged. As in, "In the days of piracy, they hanged pirates. Well, first they gave them permission to commit piracy, and then later they decided to hang them. They were hanged."

But you used "hunged." Normally I would never post something like this, it is really off topic and probably a total waste of time (lets face it, I'm just really bored). But you actually used this twice, so I couldn't overlook it as a simple typo.

Anyway, I'm not trying to make fun of you. I just thought it was amusing.

Have a good day!

[EVO 4G General] zcarman:
I gotta say that everyone here is dead on... The OP shouldn't have signed the contract - or cancelled it (because even if they got fired on the 4th, they knew the bill was coming) and worked something out with Sprint.

When you call a company to say you can't pay - you immediately get treated like crap - because you said you'd do something that you aren't doing. I don't expect any less from the companies I deal with since for every person they let 'walk away from a bill' it means we 'as current users' are going to have to pay more and more to cover the loss of that one person.

Fact of the matter is, pay your bill, cancel the service and sell the device to cover your losses.

you do realize how many people are out of work in this country right? i agree he shouldn't of bought the phone but im laid off and i bought it too. of course im selling mine and going back to the hero. the extra $10 a month is a joke to me.

I love people who create threads thinking that we are all going to say "you poor baby" as I pay another $164 phone bill. The same bill I have paid for the last 10 years without ever being late or missing a payment (that I can remember). You got the $449 (Retail/$599 @ BestBuy) phone in your hand never paid a bill, CS gives you a hard time and you were expecting what? I got to admit I'm with Sprint on this one. You steal a phone from them then act like everything Sprints fault and they should be nice to you. Respect is something you earn not something you deserve. I had a friend say something similar about AT&T. They wouldn't give him a new phone early and then come to find out he is always late paying his bill and behind on it.
[EVO 4G General] crakerjaks:
$164 per month? wow your getting ripped off, $599 retail? Best buy is a huge ripoff, its $450 retail $199 with 2 year contract, you're over exaggerating many other things like stealing a phone lol
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
Because, YOU know what HE has on his plan.... as if.... :rolleyes:

My Sprint bill is just over $200. Am I getting ripped off? Think you know what I have on my plan? Think again, and stop assuming that you know anything.

I have a Mytouch 3g (32b)

Ok so everything that has led me to this point was that my sdcard was not being recognized anymore after flashing a bad rom. the sdcard is good, it works in the PC, i've tried different sdcards none work in the phone. also it recognizes the sappimg.img file when in hboot so i can flash system images.

problem is whenever i try to flash an "unperfected" spl it makes my phone the "H" version when it should be G

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B ENG S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.23.02

when i flash a perfect spl, it looks more accurate:

Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0006 (SAPP30000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.23.02

MAY 27 2009, 19:06:41

but with the perfected spl i can't flash a recovery, or use adb to trick the phone into thinking i have an sdcard folder.

someone help!! this has been going on for a week i am running out of options. i've read every single thread on xda at this point my head is spinning :confused:

[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Normally I leave home with a full charge and come back 10 hrs later with about 15% battery remaining. I won’t break down my type of usage but it’s a general mix of voice and data. The phone is in my hand, in use, about 1hr and 30min per day with the screen on about 45min.

Today I ended my day using the phone about 1 extra hour (incl. 30 min Bluetooth phone call) and had 48% battery remaining. On a normal day I would have never even had gotten to the 30min phone call before it was dead.

So, if you do the math, the battery life today was roughly double of what it has been for the past 2 weeks.

I made one small change ... I turned off the GPS. Yes, I know, the GPS is only supposed to be running if a program that requires it is also running. I think that is false. In settings, locations the only feature I’ve ever had turned on was the GPS. I started thinking yesterday how amazingly, unbelievably really, quick that Google Maps set my exact location. I have 2 HTC phones with built in GPS and have had 2 Garmin GPS units, using an external GPS antenna, of which not one of those would acquire a satellite lock in less than 30 seconds, usually 45 to 60.

Now, flame me if you like but I’m convinced, after today, that the GPS is always acquiring satellites even when the icon isn’t present.

I downloaded GPS Test from the market, closed ALL programs with ATK, ran GPS Test and as soon as the screen appeared, 2 seconds, 4 satellites were already locked. It can’t be that good.

Try it ... won’t cost you anything.

BTW, it would be nice to get some feedback from someone that gives it a try. I’d like to know if this truly worked or it was just a fantastic coincidence.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] zephyrix:
Nope, I agree completely. I've kept GPS off unless I absolutely need it and my battery life is great.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Glas to hear someone echo the thought. I may actually start to enjoy this X10 afterall ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
With GPS off, WIFI off and BT on about 2h/day i get 2 days juice :)

Problem is, i'm in wifi range 24h/day and i don't have a data plan so, wifi is on most of the time => about 12h juice.

GPS and WIFI are draining battery pretty fast.
[XPERIA X10 General] jomil:
Made a huge improvement for me too :-) well done for spotting this
[XPERIA X10 General] cricka15:
do you mean specifically turning gps off under settings, location? or all location services including location by network?
[XPERIA X10 General] gnayres:
I am using the R2BA020 firmware.

I make approx 2hr voice call per day.

I left the wifi ON, but remove the wifi detection notification

I left the GPS ON, it should be only be activated via GPS apps.

I turn OFF the BT when I am not in the car.

So far, after weeks, on the average, I still get 2 days of juice at least.

:D
[XPERIA X10 General] gnayres:
oops! miss out the text...

I do only about 20-30 text per day.

And do quite a fair bit of FB and Twit daily...
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Yup, Settings > Location > GPS Sat ot just do it from the screen Widget, same thing.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Wow, you're much better off than I am ;)

I use 023, rooted.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
I'm using 023 and wouldn't get half of that time without turning off the GPS.

I'm not sure if my GPS isn't sleeping the way it should or not but unless I turn it off it always seems to be active.

It's not a big problem for me since GPS isn't a feature that I need too often and it's pretty easy to activate from the widget if I do want to use it.

Strange as it may be this is the change that made the single biggest difference for my battery life.

Last night I installed (reinstalled) SetCPU and set up some profiles I read about that look like they make sense. One of the profiles that caps the processor at 338mhz when the screen is off but runs it full tilt when the screen is on seems to be pretty logical. My previous complaint about SetCPU was when I had it set to near 600mhz the screen performance seemed really slow. Now it only caps the processor when the screen is off so if checking email in the background takes an extra microsecond but helps battery life I'll be happy ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
I can't really comment on WiFi usage since I only use it once in a while to run SwiFTP but GPS radios are a big battery drain, have been on every GPS device I've ever owned.

Today with the GPS off and SetCPU setup better (from last night) I plan on giving the X10 some heavy use today and see how it does.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
If the life of only one person is improved then my job is done ;)

Glad it helped you.
[XPERIA X10 General] x10isrooted:
just for your information. if you use the widget for wifi,silent,gps,BT which was included by SE you will notice that this widget has bugs. for example it shows that gps is off while it is on in the settings. same with wifi.

dont use this widget. take a widget for example from curvefish. these work properly.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
I'll check out that widget problem, thanks.

[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi, I've got an unrooted R2BA020.. I've done a test this morning. I use wifi all the time at home and today have used the stock widget and quick profiles to enable wifi, bluetooth, GPS, and 3g. They've all been on for 6 hours, have actively used wifi for about an hour or so.

I'm now down to 90%, from 100%.. 10% in 6 hours.. More than happy with that.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Saturday when I have time I'll do the test with everything on and see how long it takes to drop 10%
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
I assume when you used the wifi for an hour the screen was always on?
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Yep - It was..
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
I'll try it this weekend.

Well, I finished a 10 hour day with moderate usage, maybe 1.5hrs of screen time, 45 min phone calls, 3G data, no WiFi and the GPS turned off all day with 48% remaining.

That, for me, is a big improvement.

Since it's still not as much as I would like (I find myself holding back from using the device more) I've ordered a 2600 mAh Cameron Sino battery from eBay. I know, the battery is made in HK but what the hell ... the phone is made in China ;)

I've read mixed reviews on the CS battery but most lean towards good.

TO ALL PEOPLE:

PLEASE STOP POSTING IN THIS TOPIC ABOUT "THIS PART DOESN'T WORK ECC ECC" WRITE IN THE TOPIC OF THE RELEASE (KERNEL OR SYSTEM), PLEASE LOOK IN THIS THREAD FOR WORKING SETUPS AND TRICKS, AND SEARCH ON THE FORUM BEFORE POSTING!

This method erase all data on your system and you can brick you phone so do it carefully.

Main problem: screen

For polaris there are 3 type of screen. Usually pola100 (the old one) use panel 1, and pola 200 (09 edition) has panel 3 but ... not always works...

The best mode to test is try to install and after double reboot you have black screen change panel type.

What you need:

phone (with hardspl installed)

sd card (1 Gb or more)

time

python

Update guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/androidhtc/wiki/HowToInstallWithAtoolsNand

For androidinstall.tar e nbh look in this thread for working setups. (Choose Eclair or Froyo, Donut as problems with new kernel)

You can flash back windows (using your preferred method), if you need, but it's a shame!

There are som nbh file that only come out as panel 3
[Touch Cruise Android Development] zeoos:
You just Download NBH Editor and select the NBH with panel 3.

Then you will see that you can choose from whatever panel you would like, save and copy on SD

It's very strange, try another time..

(remember that install-seq disable automatically if install procedure works without problems)

there only these errors? are there any "Failed to format"?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] rparslow:
Indeed the install-seq did get renamed ti install-seq-disable and the data.img & system.img was on the sd card....

Tried three times already...humpf..

Maybe I'll try a manual install.

I can post the dmesg if you think it helps??
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:
If you use nand install you don't need anymore data.img and system.img ...

the install-seq install all on nand.

Post your dmesg (with a link) and i'll take a look...

Hey guys,

I've followed the guide exactly, performed task 29 first and ran from a clean, formatted SD card.

I'm using the latest Froyo build and have changed it to panel 1 as I have a POLA100.

The install procedure runs smoothly until it it gets to the point where I see the Warm Donut boot screen with animation, but then it stops and just shows a black screen with white cursor in the top left hand corner, doesn't go any further. Is this normal? Do I have to wait longer? I've left it for half an hour...?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] l1q1d:

- androidinstall.tar (taken from myn-WarmDonut-04-24-2010-240x320-110)

[Touch Cruise Android Development] :
Just a few questions

First I wanted to try Android on my POLA100, and i found this forum and read many threads.

Finally I have made the choice to test "Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS12" version with haret.

This one works fine except a few things :

- it seems impossible to install any application from android market, due to miss of space on sd card. Is it normal ? did I miss anything ?

- the camera application starts and ends with two messages : not enough space on sdcard, and "end of application Appareil photo" (translated from french). Is there any solution known to fix that ?

I did not take enough time to test other functions, but I'll post again later.

So my questions :

- I'd like to know if the same version causes the same "miss of SD space" errors on NAND ?

- Sometimes Android seems to be a bit slow, will it be the same on NAND, or will it be a bit faster ? (did anyone test the same version with haret and NAND ?)

- I'd like to test Android on NAND, but due to erasing of all data on my phone, do you know if it is possible to save data ant back them up if the test is unsuccessful ?

Thanks for your answers.

I have try to install first Froyo 2.2 from a MICROSD formated as FAT16, dose't work, after a i reformat the card as FAT32, everything works fine in this moment. One question, why the phone feels like it burn inside? To many radio devices ON by default and it drags the battery? WiFi i try to use it but don't wanna connect to a unprotected network :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] haplo602:
hmm this works great, I borrowed a POLA100 from a colleague (he's on a newer HTC device now). it is quite fast and nice.

my only gripe is the inability to use a PIN protected SIM card. why does the limitation exist at all ? once I disable PIN security on the card, everything is great.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niabi:

My polaris is no longer my main phone but I woud LOVE to have it running Android so if anyone has any idea on what or how it might work please let me know :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Photoboothrelic:
Any other possible advice for this particular problem? I've tried about every build/image combo I could find, with and without install bootloader. Have checked to make sure everything is right time and again. I've reformatted the card on a Windows PC and a Mac, and tried the repair utility on the Mac. I get a the four color screen, a quick flash that says "Loading... No image file", and then it goes back to the four color screen and says "Serial" in the white bar. I guess I could just get a new card if you think that will do the trick.
