[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munsterrr:
It was a simple question. This doesnt happen to everyone. I have played with several other rooted/unrooted evos over the past weeks(longer than a few days if you need help). I have the latest gapps and have been patient. Been looking around here and another forums because I try not to clutter up when not needed. I see you have no problem adding to the crap that is making these forums go down hill. I guess you think your special enough to go around trying to be an internet "bad ass" though.

xHAUSx Thanks for your help buddy. I appreciate the few good people around here. Enjoy your evening.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeeeeeeeek:
I tried the mentioned fix, and it worked. I've noticed similar issues across various roms. I signed out and signed in and it worked first time. Thanks for the fix. Thanks for asking this question, it was driving me nuts.

[EVO 4G Android Development] deviouskater:
look in evo general theres an updated apk but i dont think it odexed but it works im using it now on cm6
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
There is also a flashable update zip in my ROM OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] deviouskater:
Hey steel is there anything different from the apk from the general and your zip besides the flashing it. Did you do any reconfiguring
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Quick question about the zip in your thread steel

Do I have to delete the old sprint tv then flash? Or can I leave it and just flash
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Just flash and yer good to go.

Nothing was 'reconfigured'.

I you're a student and on Sprint, this might interest you.

[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Is this one of the discounts they're discontinuing next month?
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Read the fine text: Has to be used online, and from what I gather, you'll basically be renewing your contract for another two years, signing a new contract, or adding a line (see first consequence).

While 23% is nicer than the 20% I get through working for a municipality, I'll stick with my 20% for now. Thanks though!
[EVO 4G General] th3b055:
They originally offered 15%, which I signed up for at first, then about a month ago they upped the discount to 23%. Think they also have a T-Mobile 25% discount. All you need to sign up is a .edu email addrress. Doesn't even have to be yours, just get someone to let you use it.

Now I get 25% off recurring fees per month and 50% accessories through work :O
[EVO 4G General] Amco:
I wanted this deal but the EVO's been sold out online since the release.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
Fortunately I ordered online at midnight from the studentrate site on release day and had an EVO 3 days later. I feel bad for people who have been waiting 3 months. With the 23% discount my bill is $70/month after taxes and everything. It kind of takes the sting out of the $10 charge, but the thought of paying $10 less with another smartphone just brings the pain right back.
[EVO 4G General] Raadius:
Any other discounts that I dont have to resign 2 years for? I just got the Evo and im paying 100+ a month on this 79.99 play ugh, help!
[EVO 4G General] jerseydvd:
Any way to get the student discount by calling?
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
If you just bought your phone and service with Sprint, I suggest hopping on a discount soon because it will only extend your contract for a month or however long you've had your phone. It doesn't add 2 years to the end of your contract, it just starts a new 2 year agreement. Unless you already had service with Sprint, you won't be adding much to the length of your contract if you do it soon.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
I bought my Evo through Studentrate when it was first released and have the 15% discount. Are you saying that I can somehow switch that to a 23% discount without buying anything? Anyone actually done that and if so, how?
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
I don't remember exactly how I did it, you just click the link for the discount at the studentrate site. I think down at the bottom of the RI Sprint page it will say something about adding a discount to a line. Then you enter your info and Sprint will notify you if you qualify. YMMV.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Oops. I didn't even notice that this is for Rhode Island students and alumni only. Nevermind.
[EVO 4G General] ckombo:
Thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Yes it can be done. S.W.I.M. signed up with the 15 percent discount and as soon as the 23 percent discount became available...he migrated to it.

Actually what you should have done, since you are a member over there, is read the 30+ page thread about this.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
you dont need to purchase your phone through them or extend your contract. I got this discount directly through sprint, it was 15% when i first signed up back in october. I had to be very persistent, it took me more than one call. You also have to have the primary account holder be the owner of the .edu email address. I will try to get them to increase my discount to 23% now that it is a higher discount, maybe they did it automatically I didnt check my last bill yet.
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
The normal student discount is 15%, but there is a discount only for members of a certain Rhode Island education association that is 23%. Not every student is eligible for the 23% so I doubt Sprint increased your discount. When you sign up for the 23% discount online it clearly states that your contract will be renewed, but maybe by calling a Sprint rep like you did, one might be able to keep the same contract termination date with some haggling.
[EVO 4G General] butterbuns:
I get 23% off for being a Chrysler employee. Also can upgrade every year.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Go back to your SR account, go through the same steps as when you were ordering, get the new code, then go to the website that's given, apply the code and you'll receive an email within a day stating that you've been approved for the 23% discount. I've been rocking it for 2 months and I'm kind of pissed that I'll be loosing it on the 3rd line.

Oh, BTW, did you ever get your $50/per line invoice credits for each evo - should have been on split over the first and second bill. We never got ours, so I called, chatted and finally got the $150 (3 evos) today. Now I'd like to know where that damn rebate is...
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Screw that. I'm in Idaho and qualified for it. Go for it. :)
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
I forgot all about that invoice credit. I'm checking my last two bills and I'm not seeing any credits. Luckily I keep all paperwork and I have the original order invoice that lists the credit that I should receive. Who did you call? Studentrate or Sprint?

edit: My rebate shows that it has mailed so I'm not too worried about that. Already got and cashed the 25 bucks from studentrate.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I'll save you 2 hours of work: Save a copy of your sprint.com receipt, send an email to: ecare1@cc.sprintpcs.com with the receipt attached; include your account phone number, name, pin number, address, ect. and say that you never received the invoice credit (s) on your 1st, 2nd, or 3rd bills, yet in the footnotes it says you should have on the first 2 bills. Specify the total $50/per line/however many evos/lines you bought through SR.

After 3 replies asking for stuff I had already provided in the first email - I swear they didn't even read a word in the email! I got the $150 credited to the account this morning, 8 hours after I sent the first email. ;)

If you wouldn't mind, can you go post this over on SR for me. I betcha nobody has gotten the bill credits.
[EVO 4G General] pdaddy:
I get a 25% discount through my job.
[EVO 4G General] baiatul:
thanks for this post. I had no idea. I got this today. The discount is 15%.

-----------------------------

Your request has been approved and you will soon begin receiving Sprint

discounts through Higher Education - Vermont, including 15% on your

Sprint monthly charges.

In addition, discounts are applied to qualified add-on services that

have a monthly charge of $30 or more.

It takes 1 to 2 bill cycles for you to see these discounts on your

invoice. You will be able to view them under the heading "Service

Discounts/Charges" with the description "Employee Discount

Sprint/Nextel."

In compliance with enrollment terms and conditions associated with the

Sprint Employee Discount Program, we renewed the Service Agreement on

your account to....(2 years starting today)

-----

Up to 23%, but for EVO I think it's less. Is this the same for other? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] TweetyBear:
23% is only for RI people i think.
[EVO 4G General] mackeyk:
Sorry if this is stupid, but I can't figure out how to get the 15% discount with an existing account. I just got my EVO a week ago, and when I do the "click for link" on StudentRate, it takes me to check out for a new phone/plan. Can someone please help? Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] Tyzing:
A question:

So if I paid $199 for my EVO I can then get $50 back if I send them the receipt and am a student?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Good luck to you (and the person above you). Changing % discounts automatically renews contracts, they will not bypass this rule
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
Only if you bought the phone through the student rate website. You can't get the rebate if you bought the phone in a store, online retailer, or even sprint's own website. You have to buy it through the student rate sprint store online.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Yes, it'll work just fine. You can even submit his 23% discount code online and they'll apply it to your account within a week. :)
[EVO 4G General] akiradavis:
and the greatest drawback of any discount is you wont be eligible for Sprint Primer Customer rewards such as the ability to get a new phone every year (instead of 2) for the introductory price.
[EVO 4G General] jskoch:
Talking to a Sprint rep before signing up I learned that they determine your qualification for Sprint Premier status through your base rate sans discounts. So if you are on the 450 minute Everything Data plan, you would get the Premier status in 6 months regardless of any discounts applied to it. He explained that he has several customers at his corporate store that get discounts through their companies that still get their Premier status and yearly upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Wait, wait, wait. How do I get this premier status? I read about it - something like you had to be a sprint cust for 10 years? I want a yearly phone upgrade. ;(

I have the student discount, btw.
[EVO 4G General] jskoch:
Simple, you just need to have a base plan of $69.99 or higher (the 450 minute talk/text/web works great) for 6 continuous months with a good payment history. You will maintain the status as long as your rate plan is $69.99 or above. You would then be eligible for the upgrade discount 1 year after signing your original contract of $69.99 or more (for a single line, $99.99 or more for a family plan). Note that the $10 data or any other add-on to the base rate does not count for the base rate. So at a minimum you really need the 450 talk/text/web plan.
[EVO 4G General] jskoch:
No, the 450 plan will do just fine. The plan cost they use to determine eligibility is BEFORE discounts as I said earlier. So even though the 23% discount puts you well under $69.99, it still works because the plan before discounts is $69.99 and that is all they look at.
[EVO 4G General] IMiLL102911:
Does the discount only apply to the plan? Or does it apply to the whole bill or the plan plus the 4g charge?

$69.99 x 23% = $16.10

$69.99 + $10 4g charge x 23% = $18.40

I would like to get my fiance into a evo or epic, whichever she likes more. I just want to know how much she's going to be looking at a month for her bill.
[EVO 4G General] YoungHov:
Now Im about to join the Evo 4g family (insert applause here) im gonna go with the 450 minute unlimited data plan for 69.99 with the new 2yr contract. My question is what will my first bill and the following bills gonna look like with the activation fee and the 10 dollar charge 7 dollar insurance plus taxes with this discount.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Okay, so we have 3 evos on the 1500 any mobile, any time family plan which is over $99 /mo. If we pay for 6 months, which we will, then we get to upgrade next June, when we got our evos and the sprint plan? How much is the discount?
[EVO 4G General] jskoch:
You get the full discount offered by Sprint for new service. You will have to extend your contract by two years however.
[EVO 4G General] jskoch:
I don't know what the first bill will look like exactly, but you will not pay an activation fee if you order online.
[EVO 4G General] jskoch:
The discount only applies to the plan, so you would get $16.10 off per month.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Sweet. By extend you mean start a new two year contact from the time of the new phone upgrade, right? Not add another 2 years into ever remaining one year of the first contract.

Sent from my EVO 4Gizzle.
[EVO 4G General] YoungHov:
ahh ok thanks
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Why not go to the studentrate forum and ask the two guys in charge over there?
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Is this one of them? Name looks familiar :p

I am a member over there to, but I just go by a different name.
[EVO 4G General] Brutal-Force:
I gots mine. :) Thanks for the tip. 23% off every month finally makes having Talk/Text/4G with added on insurance/international calling worth it.

My bill will be $80 after discount which is cheaper than any cellphone plan.

*does the Happy Dance*
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
You can also do this:

Go to http://www.sprint.com/sero

russ.s.mcguire@sprint.com

Employee code: 383

Comes with a lot of stuff (ie early nights).

This information was given out publicly by the way.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
The advantage is it works for non-students. You also get a lot of perks like early upgrades, early nights, etc. I had them send me an Airave for free with no monthly charge on it. I'm on a SERO Everything Plus Data family plan, which I don't think would work with a student account (even though I am a student).
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
$180. Its 1600 minutes with unlimited text and data on 4 lines. Keep in mind that its really $170 since I have to pay the 4G fee.
[EVO 4G General] noob_2010:
Do anyone know how long it takes for this deal to kick in? like 2 billing cycles?

I was hoping I could get this going before my first bill which is due in December 6, I got my phone October 24 BUT I did a sprint deposit check on October 10th so Sprint is charging me from October 10th -whole November for my first bill instead of when I joined sprint on October 24.. Bill turns out to be $170 :(

Note: 69.99 "Everything" plan. plus 10 dollar 4g fee.
[EVO 4G General] michaeldonovan:
usually all discounts take 1 to 2 billing cycles. That is what happened with my employers plan anyway when i migrated my account.
[EVO 4G General] cathy007:
this deal was interrupted for a while but i heard it was back on. anyone knows??
[EVO 4G General] StarlightML:
I am in the same boat...Help anyone for Sprint student discounts :) ??
[EVO 4G General] iphonebaby:
Now it seems like you get 15% off your bill but you have to meet some qualification requirements. Hope that helps:)
[EVO 4G General] Palomino0513:
You can sign up at studentrate.com just to get the discount, its so easy to do. You just need your school .edu email to get the discount.
[EVO 4G General] cathy007:
This is their new EVO Shift deal http://studentrate.com/StudentRate/...C-EVO-Shift-Student-Rate-Member-Discounts--/0 - ends up being $39 with all the rebates included... If you can actually get the 15% discount on bill that 's cool
[EVO 4G General] StarlightML:
That's what I got as a new Sprint customer

HTC EVO Shift - $249

Mail-in Rebate - $(100.00)

$50.00 Account Credit - $(50.00)

StudentRate Rebate - $(25.00)

Free Car Charger - $(35.00)

STUDENTRATE PRICE - $39.00

I qualified for 15% discount. You fill out a form online, it's pretty easy ... Hopefully discount will show up soon
[EVO 4G General] Samzebian:
would you be able to get this if you are already a customer?
[EVO 4G General] StarlightML:
That's what it said online

you are an already existing Sprint Customer and are qualified for an upgrade:

Waived upgrade fee

Discounts off of Monthly Recurring Fees available to qualified members

Free Overnight Shipping, and

$20.00 Rebate from StudentRate.

I don't think you get all the discounts I got but you still get stuff. hope that helps you!
[EVO 4G General] iphonebaby:
If you add a new line to an existing plan, I think it counts as "new customer"
[EVO 4G General] Fireworks3:
I saw a post a couple weeks ago about studentrate having an Evo Shift deal and something about 15% off the bill?? Does anyone know if that's still going on or if studentrate has a new deal going on??
[EVO 4G General] Roy Jovero:
I just tried to get the discount. I'll post back within 48 hours when I get the email about how much I got off my bill.

I'm also trying to get another EVO and change my plan, but it won't let me, either through Sprint.com, or through the StudentRate portal.
[EVO 4G General] gsk3rd:
We shall see what happens. I should get an email today regarding my migration to a discounted plan. I didnt get a new phone or anything just the plan discount.
[EVO 4G General] MFisher13:
Post back when you get your emails. I'm interested to see what kind of discounts you received. Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] Jedis:
I tried this today.

You get an email telling you to goto http://shop.sprint.com/NASApp/onlinestore/Action/DisplayAisleLanding?ECID=vanity:highereddiscounts where it clearly shows only 15% discount.
[EVO 4G General] Roy Jovero:
I just got an email saying I got a 15% discount that'll take 1-2 cycles to apply. It's not 23%, but it's always better than paying full price.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Student discounts are only 15% now.
[EVO 4G General] MFisher13:
Thanks. Got 15% discount.
[EVO 4G General] Leoisright:
You get 18% off working for Arbys and 23% for alina health group. They wont check either.
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
looks like they brought back the 23% discount...my friend sent me to the studentrate site and when they ask you to fill out a form he told me to put "employee at a provista school" in the comments section. I think it worked, cause I got 23% applied to my new account.
[EVO 4G General] MFisher13:
Really?!? Are you serious I just signed up last week and only got 15%! I guess I didn't know about the provista thing but i wish i did
[EVO 4G General] iphonebaby:
That's really good news but I'm not sure it will work if you are already a customer.
[EVO 4G General] StarlightML:
That's cool... I never thought they'd bring it back that 23% off!
[EVO 4G General] Jacks0870:
How long is this 23% discount going on for? What if you're already an existing customer?
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
not sure how long it's going to go on for, I didn't see an expiration date. If you're already a customer you can still get this deal. I think it'll renew your contract for another 2 yrs.
[EVO 4G General] iphonebaby:
I asked on the studentrate forum and the deal is valid for existing sprint customers too. You have to fill out the form like someone said earlier and mention that provista stuff. you don t get the rest of the rebates though just the one on your bill.
[EVO 4G General] Jedis:
Tried this again. They are still only giving 15% off:

Thank you for your interest in StudentRate.com’s Member Discount on Sprint Services. You have indicated you are a college student/employee. Consequently, please use the following link http://wireless.studentrate.com/sprint.html to reach the Higher Ed Private Store. At this store you can, purchase new sprint device and service, add a new line to an already existing service and migrate an already existing plan to the discounted monthly plan.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us.
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
This deal could be really good for me but I'm confused. I keep seeing 15% and 23%...which is it??
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
This is what you have to do now to get 23%. It sounds kinda weird but it worked for me. If you don't put the provista school thing I'm assuming you only get the 15%. Hope this helps you out.
[EVO 4G General] c9h9no3:
Not much of a deal, but good looking out. I just purchased two Evo's from amazon.wireless.com for 99$ each and didnt have to deal with the hassle of rebates etc.
[EVO 4G General] Jacks0870:
Thanks I'll give it a try. The form to fill out is on the studentrate page right not the sprint site?
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
Is this discount worth it?
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
If you go here...LINK...register on studentrate, find the Sprint Deal, and fill out the form, you can save the 23%. It's pretty easy, so yes I think it's worth it.
[EVO 4G General] Jacks0870:
I checked out the site yesterday, they posted another deal with sprint too... for a limited time only if move your number to Sprint from another carrier you get $125 credit when you activate a new Sprint smartphone. That's pretty good if you're not already a Sprint customer.
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
Ya well that plus the 23% deal...I'm really considering it. I was going to try out studentrate's t-mobile deal but now I'm not sure.
[EVO 4G General] kidjolly:
Damn, that is nice.
[EVO 4G General] Roy Jovero:
Does this apply to added lines also?
[EVO 4G General] Jacks0870:
Not sure if it applys to added lines. Something you might want to call to ask sprint about.
[EVO 4G General] Floraaa:
I'm glad the word is getting out about this deal. I registered on studentrate a while ago and I'm glad. So many good discounts.
[EVO 4G General] iphonebaby:
Yes it applies to added lines to a family plan i m pretty sure
[EVO 4G General] MFisher13:
Here's a link to the form you need to fill out. After I filled this out I got a call from a Sprint Rep.

Sprint Discount Form
[EVO 4G General] cathy007:
Thanks for posting the link to the form dude.
[EVO 4G General] qxlooper:
This is great news for all of us!
[EVO 4G General] CrackerJacks:
Thanks for the info, seems like a really good deal
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
Decided on Sprint, filled out the form, and someone contacted me right away. Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] Floraaa:
Thanks for the link mfisher
[EVO 4G General] JackieOoo:
What else do you get besides a % off your bill?
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
With most of the phones there's a $100 mail in rebate, then you get $50 service credit, $25 rebate, and a free car charger..

It shows you everything you get here... LINK
[EVO 4G General] Jacks0870:
Studentrate will initially set you up for 15% but then when you get your phone you can call them and they will give you the 23%.
[EVO 4G General] runcool:
or you can keep trying random companies until you find one that is 29+% Not like they check that stuff anyway. lol however, before I changed my crap to the evo. I got my % off even on the add-ons. they won't take any off the 10 bucks. I hope people stand up for us and sue the hell out of these providers.
[EVO 4G General] stinkdified:
Same here...shhhhh....i dont work for them, really never did. just showed a contractors badge from my old job and they gave me the 23% no questions asked.
[EVO 4G General] JackieOoo:
Thanks for the info. Definitely sounds like a good deal.
[EVO 4G General] Frost25:
Anyone know how long these deals are going on for?
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
The Sprint deal on the studentrate says it'll go on till the end of the year
[EVO 4G General] MFisher13:
I saw that Sprint's $125 special is expiring April 16th.
[EVO 4G General] jonathaflores:
i am just jumping in as soon as sprint comes with a new phone!!
[EVO 4G General] Frost25:
Is Sprint getting a new phone??
[EVO 4G General] M4ver1ck:
My bill is normally around $40 through my work, and that's with an Evo.
[EVO 4G General] drrtydisko:
This worked thanks a bunch.
