Because it's a payment arrangement for a bill that you will be paying later... if they didn't have late fee's then what's the point of the payment arrangement? We would just let you pay whenever you felt like it
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
More like mildly inconvenienced. I got service with a poor credit history, and as I've said before.. Sprint treats me well. Small price to pay, going insane while I wait.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
True, not everyone see's it that way - some see it as the end of the world
[Epic 4G General] gamescan:
Nowhere near illegal. It might be against company policy, but it's not illegal.

Actually, what Apple was doing was perfectly legal. Annoying perhaps, but 100% legal in the US.

You can deny a sale for any reason except one that falls under a legally protected class.

I just wish Sprint would realize would extend ASL to all customers as an option and realize that lots of folks with great credit would see it as a benefit. Trying to get finance to manually ADD an ASL to an account is a royal PITA.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Why on God's green earth would you want to be ASL? Can't bill to account, you must stay under a certain amout or your suspended, it costs $4.99 a month... there are no benefits

And all the above mentioned are exceptionally true, now, let a company actually use that "power" and deny a sale enough times and see how badly they get sue'd. Sure it may not be completely "illegal" but a good enough lawyer can definitely find an excuse to make it illegal
[Epic 4G General] gamescan:
One big reason = travel a lot.

Phone is used heavily, but I have fixed costs. Chances of going over = nil. There is literally no reason whatsoever that my monthly bill would ever exceed the minimum ASL amount of $150.

Putting on a spending limit means that if the phone were ever lost, I wouldn't have to worry about some jerk running up a massive bill before I had a chance to report it. ASL is the only method that Sprint has to do this.

If they didn't have that idiotic $4.99/month charge on there, I'd be requesting a limit be added immediately.

No lawyer would take such a case on contingency as they would know there would be no chance of winning.

Now a sleaze lawyer might try to convince someone with deep pockets and a low IQ to pay them to take the case, but you'd have to be a pretty dumb mark to fall for that. ;)

Not to mention the fact that, besides the company winning in summary judgement, the poor idiot suing would very likely be on the hook for the company's legal fees as well as his/her own.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I don't think a company is dumb enough to refuse sale just because they can. First there would have to be a basis, regardless of what the policy states. "Is it because he's black, hispanic, white, retarded, too loud, has a freckle, pants too big" SOMETHING would surface... Secondly, even if nothing did surface, no company wants the image "decline service to it's customers!". The reason for this is if a customer is getting out of hand and acting stupid then they can refuse - but I don't think in the history of a company has anyone been refused something they qualify for, that's just plain stupidity.

As far as ASL for traveling a lot... ehh.... Sprint.com is your friend but I guess if you don't have the time to check. By the way the $4.99 pay for the program to be alive, if you like it, contribute ;)
[Epic 4G General] gamescan:
Eh, Apple denied cash sales for awhile because it wanted to be able to enforce a strict purchase limit per person. It was only bad press (and nothing legal) that got it to change its stance. If a regional manager were to implement a "no BTA" rule in order to encourage fully paid sales, there wouldn't be any issue.

The trick, as you allude to, is that the rule must be consistent.

As for ASL, it's not worth $60/yr for that. ;)

Of course it's also a program that should require zero maintainence. No reason why an account simply couldn't be flagged as soon as charges crossed a set threshold and then automatically shut off. Should be zero need for CS interaction outside of the initial setup and/or removal. Heck, if it is voluntary, there's no reason it couldn't be done through Sprint.com. ;)
[Epic 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
funniest post in this thread.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
But it does require maintenance. It requires people to create the program, implement it, requires maintenance and upkeep to make sure it's working properly allowing the sysetm to send a warning to you when you're near the limit however you have it setup, requires scanning all accounts and see which one needs shutting off, requires a system to shut it off and send another letter/text/email to you stating it's been shut off. if you are sent it via letter that's money sprint is spending on ink, paper, mail. it requires time from a sprint rep explaining to you (not you personally) why you're over your limit and then a 30 minute argument afterwards on how there is absolutely a 0% chance that those ringtones were downloaded on your line. now it requires sprint to adjust those charges losing out on more money.. and that's just 1 scenario :)
[Epic 4G General] rambler335:
ASL Billing

Ok, heres the deal. I own an authorized service center. I just want to put this issue to rest. YES, almost ANY sprint authorized retailer can bill to your account provided that you are eligible. As far as the other guy says about it being "illegal" to deny someone, he's wrong. I am not legally obligated to do ANYTHING. I have freedom and choice because I am the SOLE OWNER of my store. I am exclusive and ONLY sell Sprint. As far as billing to your account, the answer is YES however, the phone MUST BE ORDERED and delivered to the store, and may not come out of the store's inventory. This is not the rule of any DM or VP, this is just how it is. The rules are the same across the board. For the moron who is talking about legality and court, try and sue the company for not billing to your account. There is NOTHING stated in your contract that binds them to do so. Any other people out there who think they know what's up?

Hey so Im going to college again and I get like 10-15 emails a day from my professors and I dont always have my laptop with me(1 of the reason I bought the x10).

Anyway I tried to set up an e-mail account with AOL, it worked fine so I have that working. But the other email account with Michigan State University... there was a problem, so if anyone else knows how to set it up any help would be appreciated.

Oh and Im using the email app that the x10 shipped with nothing from the market.
[XPERIA X10 General] chris_knows:
I don't use the stock email app, but you would basically just go to create a new account, enter your email and password, then when it asks for like Incoming Server Settings, Outgoing Server Settings, etc., just find them on this page:

http://techbase.msu.edu/article.asp?id=224

I know it says it's for Outlook, but all of the settings are the same, they might just not appear in the same order.

Hope that was what you need?

but its loading really really slow, anyone got an idea why?

and yetep, i dont have a close relationship with my professors, my school has 46,000 people attending. so its very hard to communicate with everyone except using email especially when one class can have up to 500 people in it.

and i only get 0-3 emails a day from my professors and that too is mainly during exam weeks, but i get a lot of other emails which are important such as events that are going on, etc...

Is it possible to pull the updated camera from the Froyo RC5 and put it in the older RC4 version?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Falafel:
My G1 randomly froze during operation. So I held down the power button to bring up the power menu and hit restart. After hitting restart nothing happened, so I took out the battery and put it back in and booted the phone up but it's stuck in the first boot (T-Mobile G1). I can boot into fast boot but not recovery.

I was using CM 5.0.8 with Radio 2.22.23.02.

I had some ROMs on the SD card, but fastboot would either say "No image" or "No image or wrong image"

I've formatted my SD back to FAT32 and tried these images, but I get the same messages in fastboot:

gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3-signed.zip

spl-signed.zip

update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed.zip (might as well try CM 6 if CM5 from before wasn't being detected)

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance for any help
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
If you can get into fastboot, just flash a recovery back onto your device, then you can wipe and re-flash your rom. Your phone doesn't sound bricked.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Falafel:
sorry for calling it bricked. I didn't really know what to call it.

I gave that a try. I put Amon_Ra 1.7.0 recovery image on my SD card and fastboot doesn't recognize it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
Don't put it on your sd card. You do it from your computer. Assuming you have your adb/fastboot drivers installed, just type this in console:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path-To\Your-Image\name_of_recovery.img

I would suggest using ClockworkMod for your recovery, you can find it [HERE].
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain Falafel:
Thanks for the quick replies. I've never installed/used fastboot on my linux box, but I quickly got that working and erased my recovery and flashed the new recovery you recommended. :)

I'm currently flashing my ROM! :D

so i dropped my touch pro, and the battery was still in place, i checked my phone and the screen was black, i tried taking the battery off, resetting it and nothing.. i was wondering if theres anyway to get it to work..i can still recieve calls and get texts, but obviously cant read them :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] locknes:
ok , now the phone turns on and everything (still black) and i can hear the voicemail "ringtone" but now it doesn't even wanna receive calls, they go straight to voicemail, and before i was able to make calls by using the qwerty and hitting the green button but now it doesn't even do that?.. any suggestions?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SDreamer:
If it ain't under any warranty/insurance best thing to do is try popping it open, and reseating everything. Possible a ribbon cable popped out. Worse scenario is the board inside cracked or a chip popped out. With a little searching here and on Bing you can find seceral service manuals for our device. Good luck! I've never done it myself.

So I have a random question here. I've got a buddy that has his original G1 overclocked at 1.2Ghz. I was pretty impressed by it and figured if the G1 could achieve that, then the Hero has to have at least a kernel up to 1 Ghz. Any thoughts on this? I really don't care about overheating the phone, I'm just tired of the lag. Right now I'm clocked at 728 Mhz.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
You must do more than overclock to improve responsiveness.

I can run a stock, rooted and just by deleting many, many items, the phone is very fast(responsive).

Typically, the Hero will dislike clock speeds over 710. Some can run stable at 768 but not many.

Well, honestly. I really don't care what my Hero likes. Lol. I once had a Palm Pre running at 1.2 Ghz and it was blazing fast. I don't really think that storage space really makes a huge difference, it more or less depends on your clock speed.
