Ok seriously, there farthest someone can push up an upgrade is 2 weeks. There is no way you got to 2 months push unless you someone managed to get to someone way above everyone else. I work for sprint. Now if you guys can figure a way out to get it pushed up a month please let me know ASAP!! My upgrade is October 1st too :'(, and I can get it pushed to Sept 18th....but I cant negotiate with anyone to get my upgrade pushed up far enough, AND IM A SALE REP!!
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
All I can say is that I got 2 months. I wasn't expecting that much when I called, and told them as much. Either way, it is what it is. I still have the email with his info in it, looking to get a good review on the survey.

Edit: Oh, and yeah.. it was account services.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
WTF, account services is like 2nd to lowest after Customer Care haha. Dang...

Well, here's a little tid bit guys. Cancellation can do wonders if you force them to. But don't cancel! Just pretend so you can get your way. I do it all the time :) hahaha....jk
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
2nd to lowest? WTF r u talking about, account services IS cancellation and they can do ANYTHING except give permisison to add lines to an account (example if youre eligible for 3 and want 4)

And who told you the most they can do is 2 months? I've pushed up a 20 month early upgrade... depends on how you talk. You're lucky you haven't gotten me I woulda called your bluff and cancelled your account like i've done to countless people - one less idiot bothering my representatives
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
I got lucky and had people willing to help me, without having to "twist" anyone's arms. Hell, after offering me 2 months.. he transferred me to his Manager, just to see if they could do more.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
lol geez calm down. And no they are not. Nation Sales Support, Corporate Liable, and Cancelation are all above Account services. I don't do that, I just saying what my customers tell me what they do. Account Services will transfer you to Cancelation. And I memorized the pattern...

18006396111, press 5, then press 6. I got tired of being transferred over the place even though I'm a rep
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Dude... cancellation IS account services, I'm a supervisor there.... corporate liable is a room next to me and they come to us for help, sales support calls us for upgrade resets. There is NOTHING account sevices can not do except the above mentioned... I really don't think you want to argue with me on this one
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Ok maybe not...so does that mean you can get me pushed up a month earlier? Cause seriously, I really do want the Epic badly...
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I can have any upgrade pushed up as early as I want... literally, it's a few button clicks. Of course, all dependent on the account and the customers attitude. Matter of fact, this past thursday I had an upgrade reset for a 1 month old account.
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
The two months was me, and I was told by two separate people that 2 months was the best they can do. I never once said a word about leaving, only that I really wanted to upgrade from my Pre to an Evo. I didn't press it any further than that, as it wasn't necessary to do even that much.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That is because the most an Evo could be pushed up is 2 months or 3 (dependent on tenure of account) and they are no longer doing it... of course all rules have exceptions - that statement wasn't towards your though
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
So I guess I couldn't get you to push my line up a month now? :'(, I was just misinformed. And I didn't realize who you were either. :-\
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
Dirty,

Any advice for me to get mine bumped from Oct 4th to August 31st? Was planning on calling tomorrow. It's just for the 1 year upgrade, but I just switched my wife and I from 2x SERO 30$ accounts to an EPRP family data share for 109$. My wife is good for 2 year upgrade, but I can't use her's as she wants a new phone as well.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Call in, explain your situation and ask nicely... trust me, niceness is the only thing that get's you anything with Sprint
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
I called in on friday and got two weeks, so do you think if I called again on monday and got to account services they could move me to sept 1st?

Dirty,

When I called in I was very nice, and asked and they said most they could so is two weeks. And they it is impossible to move it more than that.
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
Y don't u just help some of these people on here. I've seen u on here quite a bit saying you're a supervisor and can do all these things, but when ppl need help u usually reply with "call in and be nice". How about some XDA love. Lol

Sent from a FRESH EVO using xda app
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Idk if he is allowed to do that, we don't want the xda love to cause him some sprint trouble. Lol
[Epic 4G General] koolhand79:
Perhaps.

Sent from a FRESH EVO using xda app
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
Cool, that was my plan anyhow. I called earlier in August and they said it should be no problemo, but to call back closer to September (not sure why they asked me to call back closer to September though instead of just making the change).

I will keep my fingers crossed! Sooooo excited for the Epic!
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Can't do anything for anybody here, I acutally have to speak with you while im working... sorry guys :(
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
I will call ya :D what time and what number haha.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Lol no direct line... I do have an email but I won't be giving that out. All I can do is advice... but I sure as hell don't like people who take advantage
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
Yeah, you def don't want that getting out, everyone would spam you asking for stuff.

Do you think time of day matters? I was considering calling right now.. but its 9:30 my time :P I don't want to upset any peeps over this lol.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Got an hour and a half left before account services closes
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
Hmm what is the number for account services? I called *2 and went through option 5, then 6, then tried 0 and all said they are closed.

Maybe I will just have to call tomorrow heh.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
There isn't a direct number, have to choose the menu option (which really doesn't get you to where you want) or be transferred over
[Epic 4G General] bullet2300:
So far I have been transferred around to 3 peeps, still waiting on if they will be able to do it. They said its tricky for me since I am on a EPRP. :(

Discconected calling back. Another guy says no way to do it unless its a 2 week bump. Claims that is a comany-wide policy and they never do it. Transferring me again lol. Now talking to a nice guy who is asking his boss if there is anything they can do. /me fingers crossed

Success! had to do it a roundabout way, but got it. yayay tomorrow is gonna be EPIC!
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
YEAHHHH!!!! It worked! i called 877-775-4886 (direct line to acct services) and i didnt threaten to cancel or anything, i just explained to the lady that i really wanted to get the epic, however my upgrade is a month away, and if its possible can she move up my upgrade, and she moved my upgrade up. Thanks dirty for the advice, i had given up when the last rep had told me two weeks is best they can do.

now the only prob is i havent preordered anywhere, so i guess i gotta go hit best buy and radioshack and hope they have extra. Does anyone know if costco or sams club will have the epic?
[Epic 4G General] boomerbubba:
Dunno about Sam's. Costco does not carry Sprint phones, but they do handle selected phones for the other three of the big four carriers.
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
I think I will try calling my local best buy and rs today, if they don't have it radioshack.com still has preorders so I may just do that, I prefer buying in store though
[Epic 4G General] jacjyd:
and here I was worrying about upgrading a day early. I'm still not sure I want to bother calling and asking since I have until 6pm Sept 1st...

but I've been jonesin' for this phone for months! my first smartphone!
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
I've gotta wait until the 1st myself, but due to money. It sure isn't my first smartphone, but after having the Evo and rolling back to the Pre... I just can't be happy waiting.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You went from the Evo to the Pre? lol smart choice /sarcasm
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
Actually, I went from the Pre to the Evo. I then decided to get the Epic.

Then, my CPU fan decided to go out. I was stuck with a dilemma. No computer for 6-8 weeks. No Epic for 6+ weeks. Or, sell the Evo to cover the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That makes sense then
[Epic 4G General] imdshiznit:
My Sprint Premier 1 year upgrade is Sept 1st, but i called in to Sprint and the rep was kind enough enough to bump my upgrade date back one month so i can pick up the Epic tomorrow! I saw on these threads that Sprint is somewhat kind of these dates (~2 weeks from the upgrade date they will bump the date for you)

So thanks for the posts! i would not have known i could call in and ask for a date bump and now i can pick up my Epic 1 day early!
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
Looks like I'm getting my phone as well! My 1yr Premier upgrade would have been October 31st but I called today and talked to a rep. Unfortunately looks like all the managers were in a meeting so they would call me back. Just got a voicemail saying the Supervisor went ahead and approved my handset upgrade but it would take 24 hours to appear. Balls. Knew I should have called sooner (the store here closes @ 8pm and he called at 8pm) but oh well. Have mine on reserve and going to go in tomorrow and if they can't do it, I have until 6 on September 1st which should be good since I get off work at 5. I can wait a day.

Thumbs up for Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
All I gotta say is... I better get my pre-order on Wednesday.

I called the store yesterday, to verify the fact that I'll be able to pick up my Epic on Wed. just as the pre-order says I'll be able to do. She assured me I will be able to.

I get a call from the Sprint store asking when I plan on coming in to pick it up. I tell her Wednesday, and she says to make sure to call tomorrow night and make sure they will have one left for me.

At this point, I was a little more terse than I usually would be. No profanity or anything, but I was very firm when I said the pre-order specifically says I have until 6pm Wed. to pick it up. So, there better be a phone for me when I come in at 10am on Wed.

Lets see how it plays out.
[Epic 4G General] colk:
My sprint store was saying after the first 25 it will be for public consumption
[Epic 4G General] 2.0t03speed:
i figured why not and called up sprint to see if they would push back my October 1st upgrade date to tomorrow for the epic 4g after 10mins of waiting on the phone i got approved for a 8/31 upgrade!!!! Now i can walkout of the sprint store tomorrow with a epic!!
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
And then you guys ***** about Sprint *sigh* after how much they twist their own arms for a cust. ATT, Verizon and Tmo do not do early upgrade/upgrade reset/ETF waivers etc unless it's an extreme situation (a new piece of **** iPhone 4 came out).
[Epic 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
lol lol, this is very very true.
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
You're right. I should of clarified.

My complaint is with this one particular issue. I still love sprint. As a company, they're great. I just don't like that person that called told me that they might not have my pre-order if I wait until Wednesday to pick it up. Especially since the pre-order says I have until Wednesday, and I call yesterday to verify that I have until Wednesday.

I just don't like that they have a phone set aside for me, and they would rather sell it to someone else than to the person that pre-ordered it.

Edit: I just want to point out that while yes, they did bump my date up. That was back in June. I never actually did anything with it, as I didn't want to wait 3 weeks for upgrade to Evo. I am rightfully qualified for my upgrade right now. Its not like I told them to push me up for the Epic and then got upset over a possible delay.
[Epic 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
if you already paid for it full, i see no reason for them to sell your phone to someone that just walks in there.
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
Its through Sprint. Its just a holder to come in and pay for the phone. They haven't gotten the money yet.

I understand their desire to separate the wheat from the chaff. However, the pre-order promises a phone will be available between 8am Tuesday and 6pm Wednesday.

In my eyes, its just as important to honor that arrangement.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You have until Wednesday 6pm for the pre-order and if you have confirmation of the pre-order there wont be an issue, so what's the issue?
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
My issue was with the fact that the lady on the phone who called me about the phone told me that I'd have to call tomorrow night to make sure they still have one to sell me. When in reality, there should be one with my name on it until 6pm Wed.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Did you ask for their information or why it changed from "until 6pm the next day" to "tonight"?
[Epic 4G General] xenx:
Nope, I just took the "ok" to mean they'll hold one for me until 10am Wed. If it becomes an issue, I'll pursue it then.

I figure I'm worried about nothing. I said I'd be in, and they're supposed to hold it.. so they probably will.
[Epic 4G General] kidstechno:
How to Sprint reps deal with rooted phones? I'm changing from Hero to the Epic and my Hero is rooted. Don't really feel like doing an RUU or does it even matter? Don't really care about the warranty but I know they have to handle the phone usually for porting the number or deactivating it.
[Epic 4G General] gamescan:
Rooting officially voids the warranty.

If you're not doing warranty work, they won't care.

If you're doing warranty work and they don't notice, they won't care.

If you're doing warranty work and they notice, your warranty will be flagged as invalid and your device will either not be repaired or you will be charged for the full cost of the repair.
[Epic 4G General] id_twin:
***Success Story

Yesterday at my lunch break I took the time to dial tele-sales *7 ( I think ) - Of course I got some indian dude who instead of trying to help me, wanted to tell me how the EPIC and the MOMENT is the same phone, and that he would gladly sell me the moment discounted. Trying to meet his sales quota I'm sure he wouldn't change my upgrade status at all, from October 1st to August 31st. So finally I just told the guy I didn't have time to speak with him.

This morning I called the above number, spoke to a very nice girl, who I was nice to as well "Yes ma'am, no ma'am" and asked her about the upgrade. Her original response was "unfortunately your upgrade isn't until October 1st, so you would have to pay full price for the epic." So I asked her "Is there any way I could get it sooner?" She said "Hold on one minute while I check on that for you." Two minutes later she came on the phone and told me she did a reset, and that it could take up to 24 hours to post. However, she would call me as soon as it does, as she gets an email stating when it does.

So, nice, & polite go a long way.
[Epic 4G General] ravizzle:
Yea, and also acctc services had more authority to do stuff like that, I called many other departments and they tolf me it its impossible to move up one month, but acct services did it without hesitation
[Epic 4G General] jacjyd:
Is that completely true? I thought Verizon had an across the board invite for everyone to upgrade early last year or maybe it was this past year. I felt like people got it as early as 4 months before their date. It wasn't for a particular phone, but I know that my friend ended up getting a Droid...(for a penny too!)
[Epic 4G General] jacjyd:
Just checked on the website...my upgrade is ready already! Didn't take 24 hours. :-) It actually got moved a whole month instead of just one day -- I wonder if they can only do it in month units? Otherwise it'd be pretty silly that they could move it a month for me when I needed a day and only two weeks for someone who needed a month.
[Epic 4G General] Munkee915:
I wasnt eligible until oct also, but i noticed a mistake on my lines (actually about 3 months ago, just called in about 3 weeks ago to fix it) where they had 1 of my add a lines as the main premier # instead of mine. the rep was nice and put in for the fix but said it would tak 3 cycles to take effect. I told him i was planning to use my upgrade next month but this would put me in the nov-dec range for a phone. They pushed up the upgrade on the currently incorrect line to aug, then noted i would be able to use this upgrade to upgrade my phone and waive the rebate. I confirmed this would also apply to an in store upgrade. I called again today just to make sure everything was still on and they called the store to verify that I would have no problem picking up my phone today.

dont know if that helps, but maybe i guess if you can find some kind of error on your account you can get customer service to move up the upgrade then call your local store to make sure you can apply it to an in store upgrade?
[Epic 4G General] JoshBeach:
im a sprint premier customer. i was eligible on 10/1, but went to sprint store, was nice, and after a few tries to cust service, and National sales support, we got it done. i have my epic/. and got it on the 2nd! took 24hrs for managers override to go through.

then went to Radio Shak and got it for 250 no rebate.
[Epic 4G General] 2.0t03speed:
I did the same thing upgrade not available till 10/1 one quick 10min phone call to account services got it pushed back to 8/31. Took about 3 hours to show up in sprints system and i walked out of radioshack on launch day with a Epic!
[Epic 4G General] darknatas:
i was upgraded way earlier then what i was suppose to get cause i resigned a 2 yr deal back in feb of 2010 when i got my touch pro 2. then while checking out my account info online it showed me as of 7/2010 that i was able to receive a early upgrade and my contract wasnt suppose to expire till feb of 2012. i was like wtf when i saw that. i saw in my account that they made me a sprint premier costumer thats y i got a 1yr and a half early upgrade. now im sitting with my new epic 4g and happy as can be.

...change the home key to double tap brings up all the home pages, like Sense?

...check for updates?

...save my data (Text, Contacts, etc...) from my stock ROM and import it in to my new ROM?

...move apps to the SD Card?

I have been rooted for a full day and this is all new to me. I have searched around a read a good bit. Love the forum and hope to be able to answer questions soon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
...change the home key to double tap brings up all the home pages, like Sense?

Go to launcher settings..then system settings..then Home button binding. Select option- "move to default desktop/show previews"

...check for updates?

Go to App: ROM Manager- Select Option "Check for Rom Updates"

...save my data (Text, Contacts, etc...) from my stock ROM and import it in to my new ROM?

First- I would start saving all contacts here on out to your Google. Dont save to phone. That way everytime you sign into google on your new ROM, contacts come up instantly. For text messages- I use SMS backup and restore. It's in the market. It backs up on SD card..and you can name each backup...

...move apps to the SD Card?

I had to move to SkyRaider cause I needed BT audio streaming again, but I believe when you go to settings>>applications, theres an option to move to SD card. Be careful when moving apps to SD card, as some rely on being on your phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deacon51:
Great! Thanks for the pointers. With this new ROM, I have so many options. I'm loving it.

New question...

My contacts from facebook can't be edited, converted or uploaded to google. Does anyone know of a app that will take my facebook contacts, including birth days phone numbers and email addresses, and convert them into a csv file so that I can upload them to google. I'm assuming that something from facebook is blocking this. But if I have the info on my phone, I should be able to do whit it as I see fit. With sense, you can link contacts on your phone. That's what I'm trying to get back, but keep it on goggle.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
i found an app on facebook, but it failed when i tried it..maybe i took out too many options?

http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=32853197098

Check it out..good luck. I dont believe facebook will let you take out email addresses, cause privacy and stuff like that.

VERY VERY Nice!

If I wasn't addicted to ADW, I'd be all in on this one!

Update: on second thought, I think I will use the Framework & Services. Might even motivate me to make the Sense bar for ADW.

Installed services.jar & framework-res but I still have black clock??

Does this have to have a deodexed system? I assumed this was for Froyo since it says 2.2 in the title (and it didn't brick my phone :))
