Actually you do qualify for the Sprint Premier plan with the 4G phone plans.

Do Everything Plus customers qualify for Sprint Premier?Sprint Premier is our unique loyalty program giving qualified customers free gifts, discounts and upgrade eligibility every 12 months, among other perks. New Everything Plus customers will qualify for Sprint Premier after they have been a Sprint customer for 6 months and have maintained, for at least 3 months, a minimum monthly recurring charge of $69.99 on a single line or $99.99 on a family/share plan. For more information on Sprint Premier, click here.​

But you automatically get an upgrade every 12 months with the referral program whether you spend the $69.99 or not.

How frequently can I upgrade my device?

Everything Plus customers are part of Sprint's New For You program and qualify for a discount after only 12 months. The amount of the discount depends on the length of your contract and the number of months you have had your current device. For more information on the New for You program, click here.​

Like I said, the program details are on the webpage.

(for the record, as an employee I pay MORE for some phones than people off the street. And I can't even buy the Epic or Evo yet because of demand. I'm giving you better than I get myself :p)
[Epic 4G General] TheRob44:

Quick question: I already have a line of service, but I'm going in today to get a new 2 year agreement and upgrade to the Epic. Can I use this deal?

Thanks,

[Epic 4G General] Pops_G:
From the OP, I can also confirm it. I just tried to use this on an upgrade and no deal.
[Epic 4G General] TheRob44:

Damn, that's unfortunate! Well, thanks for looking out anyway!

This I did not know. It was not that way with the old SERO plans. Shame I am business nice with a hefty discount.
[Epic 4G General] RazielWard:
Are you going to be around in 3 months?

I sure hope you're still around in 3 months when I'm off my Verizon contract.
[Epic 4G General] Nextelian:
This referral is good for as long as I'm employed. And it's open to all, so spread the word :D

[Epic 4G General] LiberatorUSA:
Can't get "Plus" plan

Hi,

First off I'd like to express my thanks for allowing people to use your employee referral information. It's appreciated!

I went to the Sprint store (San Leandro, CA) on launch day armed with Russ's info thinking I could get the Plus plan for me and my Fiancé. The store clerk said that the "Plus" plans do not offer the Epic 4G and he could not sign me up for a "Everything data Plus" family plan. He assured me the account can be changed after the fact into a "Plus" account. Reluctantly I signed up for the regular plan after repeated assurances that the plan can be turned into a "Plus" variant further down the line.

Now how do I actually make this happen? I'm assuming it is actually possible as I thought given the nature of this forum topic. Can one of you nice Sprint people give me some advice? :)

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Nextelian:
My advice includes a smack-down for that sales rep. :p

I've seen one or two people try to convert a new account into a SERO account but I never heard back from them if they were successful. You can try calling telesales and tell them that you were mislead by the sales rep and if you are not able to slide this phone into a Everything Plus Referral account that you will be taking advantage of the 30 day return policy and repurchasing the phone through the website. They might show some sense and keep you from doing that. It would cost Sprint money to accept the return and then sell you a new phone. If you don't get satisfaction on the first call hang up and call again. There are several centers across the globe and you may get lucky and find a helpful person.

I'm sorry that the rep caused you this much extra work, I have a feeling that we're going to make this work for you.

Also, I guess I need to stop referring to the plan as SERO :p I've been around long enough to see this plan change names 3 times. www.sprint.com/sero is just easier for me to remember than http://delivery.sprint.com/m/p/nxt/epc/epclanding.asp
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
Would these plans still honor my 25% discount. Also I'm a premier customer and expect to upgrade in February, would adding one of these plans change that.
[Epic 4G General] Nextelian:
Are you thinking of adding a new line, or trying to move your current account to the referral plan?
[Epic 4G General] clockcycle:
This should work for you, dial *4 and ask to have the plan changed. I had to do this when I got my EVO, my plan was changed from EPRP to a regular plan, I called and had them put it back.. Unfortunately company discount doesn't stick on EPRP, so I had to change once again.. lol. YMMV

-CC
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
Move my account
[Epic 4G General] Nextelian:
I think with your discount and Premier status you are better off where you are. The EPRP plan isn't quite up to the 25% level. Besides, they have a strict policy against current customers migrating accounts to the EPRP.
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
Cool thanks for the info
[Epic 4G General] chocoberry:
I have a question:

If I don't have a SSN (because I'm an int'l student),

how can I set up an account with this referral?

I called the number and what he told me was "go to the store" (very unkindly)

but I think Sprint Store can't set up this referral....
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Considering you might have to put up a hefty deposit, why not just get the T-Mobile Vibrant at full price and sign up with Simple Mobile (no credit check/no contract)? Same $60 (tax included) gets you unlimited everything, talk/text (including international sms)/3g.
[Epic 4G General] chocoberry:
the reason is...

I also considered that..

but, the reason is I want to use the Epic EPIC 4G. It's an epic....
[Epic 4G General] BBAHunter:
heh...doesn't beat employee discount since it would cost me more to switch to that plan than the cost of a new phone every 12 months. Considering I got two lines now with unlimited data (on the one I use), 700 minutes plus early nights and weekends, etc... and the total bill is $71/mo.

I dont know anything about howto remove/change them.. AFAIK you cannot change the toggles (or not very easy).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Daneshm90:
You have 3 options :

1. Smali edit it

2. Apktool edit the layout xml's to make toggle property invisible/gone

3. Live with it
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Rain_1:
You want to REMOVE the toggles in the Notification Bar? I wish i could ADD more toggles in there. Much better than going back to the main screen to change stuff using Extended Controls.

Data Network enabling/disabling would be sweet (and that's the only toggle i'm missing there).

[Streak 5 Android Development] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

I am trying to run the application on "http://android.gval.biz/" named Bluetooth Dial Up Network on my Dell Streak.

The application basically connects to another phone over bluetooth and dials a 3G connection using the second phone as a bluetooth modem. Finally it brings up a ppp interface and supplies internet connection over other phone.

On my Dell Streak the application runs and I see the connection on my Nokia phone. However, 3G is not connected.

I couldn't find a way to debug it. How can I understand what is wrong with my settings ? It could be just an issue of DUN chat script...

I need to understand where the problem occurs. Any idea ?

Thanks.

You shouldn't have moved the files, you need to revert it(use the nv_data from JPC) for your sim card to work (it happened to me today...), i changed it to the old nv_data and my sim card stopped working, even with the default sim card.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonreviad:
I think that rooting JPC and applying the same procedure of replacing the nv_data* files with their corresponding .nv_data* ( or previously backed up versions, possibly) should make your phone work with it (you need to root because JPC somehow changes the file permissions of the /efs folder and all its contents to -rwx------).

I haven't tried it, though - the experience of having my SIM-locked phone reject my SIM card was too nerve wracking for me. I'll wait a bit longer on JM6 - it's almost september!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xedamen:
So I should flash back JM1 or JM2 save the nv_data files and reflash JPC and overwrite the new nv_data files to the old ?

i also flashed the jpc with kies, than flash back to jm2, but my phone still ask for network unlock pin, but i can't unlock because permission denied :S i also have hungarian t-mobile branded i9000. plz pm me. thx.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonreviad:
Well, I'm not saying you should do anything...but:

Flashing back to JM1/JM2 or anything prior to JPC is pretty much pointless. You should just neet to do on JPC what you did when you flashed back to JM1, to regain "control" of your phone - since flashing back to JM1 did not actually modify your nv_data* files. However, I cannot confirm this to be true, since I chickened out of trying JPC until my blood pressure gets back to normal :) .

Hi

I have acquired HTC HD mini recently. I upgraded its ROM to new version 1.36.720.X. But still I am not able to connect Windows Marketplace via my mobile. My GPRS connection is set correctly as I am able to connect Facebook and My Phone successfully. I am facing issue with Windows Live and Marketplace.

I always get error while trying to connect Market place that

"There may be a problem with the Marketservice now. Check your internet connection and try again later."

Can anybody provide me solution for this.

Registry value for HKLM\Systems\Versions\Aku is .5.3.3 (Which is due to latest OS version came with ROM) . Hence that earlier fix of changing value of Aku is not workable though I tried it.

I think that there are many unfortunates like me who have faced same problem.

Hi Everyone,

I thought id share the amazing battery life im having, ive had it going for 48 hours so far and still got 45% of my battery still left, ill tell you all my set up and i wish you can get the same.

Installed LeeDroids rom (1.9a) which is absolutely amazing i must say, i love it.

Got the new radio 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2.

SetCPU running and have the normal standby on the phone at 642mhz and 245mhz when the screen is off.

I also have a task killer on set to kill most apps when the screen turns off and i have read about androids memory management but it makes me feel better when i run it and i personally think it helps.

Finally, and possibly the most important is an app called AutoKiller that interacts with androids internal memory management system and i have that set to ultimate.

I think thats it, and i have been using the phone averagely, and have turned off wifi and mobile internet and only use it when i need it.

Good luck everyone, hope this is helpful in someway.

how to find which software etc is gulping the most battery?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2496007:
There are two ways of doing this. The quickest is to open your dialer, and dial the following; *#*#4636#*#*

This code will open up a hidden menu. Select 'battery history'.

From here you can see what aspects of your phone are using which resources from selecting from the drop-down menu. Try looking at 'partial wake usage'. This will show up any rogue apps that are doing the phone from going to sleep. In fact, check them all out.

The second way is to download an app called 'spare parts' which gives you access to this hidden menu without using the dialer.

Hope this reveals the culprit!

GSM will only give you 2g bandwidth, but yes the battery will last longer. CDMA will give you 3g and HSDPA. I leave mine on this and get 36 hours typically.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The biggest issue with doing this is that you won't get simultaneous voice and data over the cellular network. If some tries to call you whilst your phone is syncing (and thus actively using data), the call will go straight to voicemail.
