I never signed a contract saying I would pay that $10 surcharge, I purchased the phone out of contract, never agreed to anything, does that mean I can cancel the "extra services" that are provided with that $10 fee?

[EVO 4G General] simplicity baby:
From my actual Sprint bill (not sure where it would be on a paper bill, but online it's the very bottom link ~ Important Information Relating to Your Sprint Bill ~ that's on the monthly statement bill page):

Discount Policy Change Notice

Effective 8/27/10, discounts will no longer apply to the monthly recurring charge for Add-a-Phone lines beyond the first two lines on family or share plans. The primary and second lines will continue to receive discounts.
[EVO 4G General] Indycanard:
In my case, I have 6 lines on a 2000/$85 Free and clear (real real old :) ).

Lines 3-6 are add-a-phone's at $20 each, and I currently have a 25% discount.

I also have $38.50 in various add-ons (SMS/DATA etc), and I get a discount on that amount also.

My bill will INCREASE by $29.60 +TAX/Sprint surcharges. I'm guessing the final tally, my impact will be $40 more a month. VERY significant for me. I did call in when I read the last bill about this changes, and the Customer Service Rep fell over himself to add a $50/month credit for a year. Yeah, the immediate complaint is ok...but in a year, WHAM! I get hit.

I've been with Sprint for over 10 years, and I seem to get Sprint induced mistakes on my account every time I replace a phone or make any change (not to mention the Sprint Billing system migration a couple of years ago!). For example, my $2.5 unlimited SMS code was "accidentally" deleted at a store, and Sprint can't add it back. They gave me a $7.50 unlimited SMS code, with a 1 year credit for the difference. At the end of that year, WHAM!, Sprint gets what they wanted and my bill goes up. This has happened almost from the beginning time after time. Also, two of my lines used to be $0 add-a-phones, and they were both changed to $20 lines a few years ago by Sprint.

For me, I have a 25% ATT discount available also via my employer. I've already priced the phones and plan. When my next bill arrives, and I see the missing discounts, I'm getting out of my contract and jumping ship.

Bye Sprint...It's been an adventure!
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I wouldn't be complaining to much about that. While I do love a good deal, this is to the point of: Sprint probably isn't actually making a profit off of you each month.
[EVO 4G General] mikeDCMDVA:
So when is the next ToS change so I can get out of my contract and sell my Evo?
[EVO 4G General] mactruc:
Didn't go through all replies, but lets put that in a LITTLE perspective:

You have 5 lines, lines 3-5 are $20 a month making 60 a month a WORST case scenario. $130 for the first two lines and 60 for the additional 2

Lets say you get 20% off. That 20% comes off the $130 making it $104. The only discount you lose is the 20% off the add-a-lines.

That makes your bill increase $12 bucks since the only lines that will not be discounted total $60 a month.

(The "features" or "add ons" like TEP, SMS plans, Family locator, etc. haven't been discounted for as far back as I can recall (5 years).)

I find it VERY hard to believe to get 5 Iphones and pay less than $164. Ditch your sense of entitlement, this discounts are NOT set in stone and can, do, and will change. Example, MICTA went from a 15% discount to 18% were another discount recently went from 24% to 16%.

On top of that, if you can get 5 Iphones with unlimited, web, text, and unlimited calling to any mobile for 164 a month. I will eat a bug, or several considering you would be looking at a 2gig cap and about $275 a month. Do the math if you don't believe me.

And to make it fair, lets add in $10 "cool phone tax" Thats $50 more on your sprint plan.

Total on Sprint $204

Total on ATT $275

Thats $840 more per year, vs your increase of $120 a year.
[EVO 4G General] Munkee915:
So what i wanna know is, will i be able to use this to cancel ALL my lines? or just the add-a-line affected? I was just on the phone all day w/ sprint *****ing them out about an issue w/ the EVO (long story), and I essentially threatened to move to verizon. the retention sup told me i would have to pay the ETF if i did (i didnt know about this change at the time). But armed w/ this info i think i have more leverage. Even if i can just cancel the affected line, the remained 2 lines have 12 and 6 months left on the contracts. even w/ paying the ETF fee on those thats $180, which at this point i would gladly pay to get away from their horrible customer service.

With verizon the plan cost would be the same for more minutes, they will discount my data plan, and my remaining lines are non smartphone so they only cost an additional $10/line instead of $20. In the end the bill comes out the same for me.
[EVO 4G General] gapoochi:
does this affect service credits that apply to each add on line every month? I have a $10 credit to each add on line. I also have a 23% corporate discount from kraft...that's roughly $5/line.

$15/month may not seem like a lot to many, but it is to me. and if I lose the $30 for the recurring service credits...that's a lot of money...$45/month for 2 years = $1080!

but I LOVE my Evo! :(
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Anyhow, let's get back on track here. I'm going to call the consumerist CS line because the last asshole just hung up on me when I said it was a material change in the total price of the monthly bill for the next 2 years, then he said he'd research it and then CLICK. So much for asking for a call back number...:|

Woah, glass cage of emotion
[EVO 4G General] kellybrf:
quick, someone pull out their contract that says they will be receiving xx% discount for 24 months. nobody? didnt think so. thats because nvp discounts are not part of the tos, they are perks and subject to change at any point in time. sprints tos did not change, your employee discount did (and, id be willing to venture, many here dont actually work for the company or belong to the orginization that they are receiving the discount for.)

in fact, not only can they change how they apply discounts as they wish, but sprint (and all other carriers) can change or remove the discount entirely as they see fit. these discounts are based on the number of corporate liable lines the company has with sprint, and because of how much business the company brings in sprint passes some discounts onto the individual liable employees of said companies. if a company leaves sprint entirely or drastically reduces the number of lines of service they use then the employee discount will be reduced or removed altogether.

yes, it sucks that your bill is going up. but then again its still cheaper than the competition even before discounts, and the absolute MOST anybodys bill can be affected is $16.20/month. yeah, thats just shy of $200/year, but if you cut out one cup of starbucks every 9 days youll recoup more than that. and thats worst case scenario, most people are in the 15-20% range which is $9-12/month if you have 5 lines of service, which again most people dont.

but by all means, spend hours complaining about it, cancel and go get your iphone 4. good luck using it.

[EVO 4G General] Landmine:
So I moved to Sprint because I liked the price and discounts, currently I only have 2 phones but I was looking to add more, now it seems my research was worthless. Would I be able to get out of this or am I screwed because I chose to believe when I had a 2 year contract, that they would hold their end of the deal.
[EVO 4G General] eastwildcat89:
how to get the $10 off

this policy will affect two of my lines so thats 10 bucks a month plus taxes added, which in a year will add up to approx $130. How can i do it so sprint will give me a $10 dollar service credit on my bill to replace that? i was thinking about calling sprint and threatning them with terminating my contract due to the policy change, but i dont really know how to go about my argument does anyone have any suggestions???
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I'd call this line up here: http://consumerist.com/2007/05/spri...eader-executive-customer-service-hotline.html

Just be nice and tell them that you've already called the normal number and got hung up on. They hung up on me. I'm going to call the said line above tomorrow because they screwed up our bill this month, too.

[EVO 4G General] jerseydvd:
Anyone in any credit union? That will get you 10% off your bill.
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I'm curious to know how many of you NEW (or long-time) customers to Sprint, actually researched and included "possible" discounts in your summary of "how much will I have to penny-pinch so I can have a cool phone?" campaign. Discounts are perks that occur as a result of you qualifying for them for one reason or another. They are in no way a guarantee, and are not a part of the standard monthly rate plans. If you couldn't afford the plan as it is without discounts, maybe you should rethink your financial handling abilities. Kind of like buying a Ferrari and parking it outside of your shack.
[EVO 4G General] ducky1131:
Sprint told me that the discounts aren't covered under the terms of service. However, I did get a $70 credit for no apparent reason.....
[EVO 4G General] dayznfuz:
Just saw this loss of discount on my bill today. While a little peeved, I'm staying with Sprint since no one else gives you a discount on all lines. But, I was able to get them to zero out the contract on the affected lines. They won't let you out of your contract for the first two lines which are still discounted.

However, it makes bolting to another carrier less painful when you only have 2 ETFs to pay instead of 3-5. In fact, since carriers will often give you $100/line to transfer a line (both Verizon and Sprint have offered this to me), getting $300-500 neatly pays off the ETF at Sprint for the 1st 2 lines. While I don't intend to bolt any time soon, it's always nice to get out of any long term financial contracts if you can.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Hmm, I could get them to 0 out my EFT on the 3rd line, and then i cancel that line, how long is it before I could add another line back to the account?
[EVO 4G General] ld006:
Like said by many other people in this thread, these kind of discounts are not part of sprint's TOS, so you can't get out of your contract because of this. Unless you can find the part of the contract you signed that says you will get X% of discount when signing up.

PS: is not in the contract
[EVO 4G General] waterboy100:
On the other hand, I did all of my stuff over the phone I don't believe that Sprint can produce a 2 year contract that I have signed
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Did all of ours online. I don't think we signed a contract either. I don't recall doing any sort of online "type out your whole name and 'yes' and the 'date'" thing either.
[EVO 4G General] unknown_owner:
Well just did a comparison between mid-Aug bill and new Sept bill and I see that they remove the $3.60 discount from lines 3-5; that's $10.80/month, so roughly $130 more a year. Not too bad. I found a way to reduce the impact by dropping the equipment replacement for one of the old phones. So I now save $7/mth.

All in all, you can reduce the impact by getting rid of unnecessary services or add-ons. My wife has the Everything family plan with her side of the family and I have my own separate account. I could also just jack up the price that her family pays her for their share of the plan, considering their phones are only $20/mth on the bill.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Yeah... NVP discounts are not part of their policy. What they are speaking off is if you signed a contract for an additional 10/20 off a month for 12/24 months.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
***** FIXED in next post ******

Yes, I searched. No, obvious fixes didn't work.

Maybe someone can help me with this..

So, story:

- Had a Cyan 6.0 installed, decided to go back to frf91.

- Flashed a FULL FRF91 from clockwork recovery that came with Cyan.

- It flashed fine, phone rebooted. FRF91 loaded, seems to work fine.

- I rebooted into bootloader, wanted to flash IntersectRaven's Kernel from recovery, but it showed the android with exclamation mark in a triangle.

- I rebooted again, used fastboot to manually flash latest RA recovery. Flashed fine, but still triangle error.

- I downloaded Clockwork recovery, fastboot flashed it, still a triangle error.

How do I get my recovery back?

And on a related note - does it matter when I install kernel? Does it have to be before/after the ROM?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
It seems that it's really picky about the recovery image filename.

Renamed the filename to "recovery.img" and reflashed again. It worked this time.

Why do apps now have a random 1 or 2 at the end now? This may be the most silly question ever, but I'm curious :D I'm betting its a FroYo thing.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
As you suggested, its a froyo thing. It keeps track of the update number.

Note: update number has nothing to do with the official "version" of the application, it has to do with how many times YOU have updated it on your phone, so if you go into market and "update" a program, the new one will have that number incremented by one.

Hello Xda!

I recently used this forum to install Android on my HTC HD2 UK Vodafone.

It all went pretty smoothly after i realised you needed to update the radio to get it working properly. It's worked pretty fine for nearly a week till this morning, i was updating apps then all of a sudden my phone restarted, so i tried to boot back into android and its basically been doing the same all day. It will either boot up into the loading screen and keeps repeating that with a green screen for a quick second between each loading screen and then ends up with a white screen.

I have tried pretty much everything i can think of, only thing i havn't tried is changing the android build as i did like the one i was using. I have formatted the SD card, re-downloaded the android build, changed zImages etc etc but still no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Droid X General] freelo123:
I'm new to the forums. I can't decide yet which phone should i choose. Though i know here is Galaxys forum, but i'm glad to listen to your advices.

1.Screen SAMOLED VS 4.3 inch

2.GPU 540>530 I9000 is better But i wanna know how 540 much better than 530. Is that a large gap or just small?

3.Do you think that i9000 looks like a iphone? Droid x looks much better than i9000 Just outward appearance.

4.What about the cpu?

Plz help me to make a choice between two good devices THX a lot~~
[Droid X General] Enndr:
In my opinion this really comes down to your choice of carriers and like or

dislike for slightly larger screens. Everything else is more or less kind of a wash.

The screens are comparable in quality, many will prefer the SAMOLED due to the

richer colors and better darks. Many will think the LCD on the Droid X is perfectly fine. I had a Nexus one prior to my Droid X and feel that the screens were comparable. Due to personal preference of size I pick the Droid X. I have gorilla hands so the extra space is welcomed when it comes to me using the phone.

As for the graphics processing:

Droid X /w SGX530 (13 MPolys/s, 500Mpx/s@200MHz)

Samsung I9000 /w SGX540 (28 MPolys/s, 1Gpx/s@200MHz

While the 540 chip does kick up the graphics performance by quite a bit I feel that in the current software market it doesnt matter. Most games and emulators work without much of a hitch on the Nexus One which is pretty weak compared to the Droid X graphics, let alone the I9000. The Droid X handles graphics and benchmarks with ease. While the I9000 would play just as well as the Droid X but slam the crap out of it in benchmarks.

My point? Until we get software that actually uses the graphics horsepower we have it makes no difference. My quality of gaming is close to equal to the I9000 and is only slightly better than the Nexus One (Nexus has the occasional hiccup due to slower graphics).

In the end I feel it comes down to carrier preference, screen preference and feature preference. Aesthetics could come into play as well. I really like the way

the Droid X looks and feels.
