Stop telling people they are out. Funny I was called back today in a matter of 3 min was offered on and said will be here next monday. So stop telling people they are out or about credit line. Ill take a pic of mine when it gets here next week.

Yeah. Im sure also. I live 5 blocks from lake michagan so im def sure im on the list. Im excited to have service at my home next week..

Well maybe in your area.. who knows.. all im saying is customer service called me today and in 3 min was approved and ship date of next monday. How is this possible? Maybe that's what u got but from the call and getting approved with confirm number and ship date.of monday proves.otherwise. im on a credit limit account and still got.one. just saying. Not trying to argue. Maybe check again tomorrow and see if it changed. But everything u said about being out and have to.have a no spending limit became false after talking to sprint today.

How.am I questioning you when you been proved wrong? Sorry?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Asl can have one but you have to pay up front, no asl account can have anything billed to it. If you didn't pay youre not asl. Customer service also can't order airaves only retention can, at least for now anyway. And I guarantee you, you won't get one monday ;)

[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
She sent me to retentions. Gave my info. He asked why I got sent to him and said she said im approved for an airwave. So I ended up with a confirmation number and ship date. Also I asked the lady about that" bad tower' in my area. She looked it up and said no there isn't one. Told her what the lady said yesterday there is after I said ibwas going.to.cancel after almost an hour talking to her. She didn't know.what to say than to tell me she don't know where she got that info from. I was told I have a 120 dollar spending limit when I got the phone. Also im over that limit as I added my mom and sis to my plan as they were paying 150 for just for both of them. I don't get that either.

Edit: I paid nothing up front. All waived.. also credited for the two months of service.since when I was at sprint today I finally for all my missing voicemails there and showed them. Even had one from aug 28th.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Like I said you can get one but you can't bill to acct if your asl and we just received 134 in the last 30 minutes so call now if you want one

But in all seriousness were not supposed to be ordering then anymore until 2011, I guess sprint wants to stock up

Everytime you get a rep that bypasses a policy he puts his job on the line which is why most people have to call multiple times to get things done, no one wants to lose their job by ordering things when they've not supposed to or by waiving some kind of charge

Im just in a bad area not working the system. I got 6 vm in a row at sprint.and showed him the dates on them. I don't even get 3g where I live till I go a.few.blocks west to the city. Im just angry on how retentions yesterday was willing to give me a modem for internet for my computer than actually helping my reception I was calling about.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Well they shouldn't lie about why I have bad service. Like a bad cell tower or my phone. Can't do anything till I get my phone checked by a technician..then im told there isn't one the next day. The intercept phones my mom and sis got barely stays on one bar and can't get 3g and stays on 1x. Can't even get on market or internet. I told them just because it's cheaper they should wait to see.if I.get a.airwave. now I hear complaining. Works anywhere else till we get close to our home.

Why would they want to not give them out to "stock up"? Doesn't make sense.. or order them till next year when people need them now who actually need them?

I was told people who have ASL's had to buy the airwave but not get charged monthly. They also told me that if you don't have an ASL, you can get the airwave and still not have the monthly charge if you can prove you have poor coverage.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Nope, asl customers can not have the monthly charge waived at all and they have to pay up front for the device. If you're lucky you'll get someone that will credit you the $99.99 for the device but no one can waive the $4.99 MRC
[EVO 4G General] :
What's he difference between ASL and not being one?
[EVO 4G General] bc0508:
I got a airwave for free they credit the 4.99 back to my bill. So its free but I do have 5 phones and on corp discount.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
ASL customers have ****ty credit scores and don't pay their bills :P But really, ASL is completely based off your credit score, if it's good, you won't be ASL. Now, what "good" means to Sprint, I don't know...

The main difference's are that asl customers get an extra $4.99 a month charge to help keep the program afloat and they can not bill anything to the account
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
The$ 5 fee a month is waived for me. All fees are for it till I cancel service is.what I was told. And I have asl. You keep saying things can't be waived when they actually are being waived or credited to acount every month.
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
The $5 monthly fee is waived for me by charging me it and then giving me a $5.00 credit, although I had to pay for the Airave.

AIRAVE Enhanced Voice Coverage - Enhanced voice coverage when inrange of the AIRAVE	$4.99

Loyal Cust AIRAVE Coverage Crd	-$4.49

Employee Discount Sprint 10%	-$0.50
[EVO 4G General] mem_reddog:
Not true, I called and just talked to a regular customer service rep and got an airrave for free and monthly fee waived. it is what you tell the rep. I simply told the rep that was constantly roaming at my home, from the time I get home from work til the next day that i leave for work. I was racking up plenty of data and call roaming. so she offered me the airrave, I never brought it up.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
The same. Was customer service.that brought it up to me and asked if I wanted a airwave fees all waived. Sent me to retentions to give info to send it out. So its not just retentions that can offer it then because cs did when they called me back the next day.
[EVO 4G General] dwertz:
But retentions is the one that approved it to be sent out, right? CS can offer it. CS offered it free to me but retentions said no.
[EVO 4G General] epmacman:
putting in my experience: called last month when I saw a thread on slickdeals about it. Took three transfers to tech/customer service/ then "payments department" they waived the cost of the airrave, and then waived 2 years worth of service with it, I DID receive an activation fee for it but called and then they removed it after a few minutes.

SO...

free airave

free monthly service

waived activation.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Yea CS	can offer only we can send it

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyt01:
So I just put Clockwork Recovery on an new SLCD Droid Incredible. I was about to flash the IncDoes new Sense Rom which I'm also running on an Amoled Incredible (and enjoying on that device) and decided to pause for a second before doing it wondering if anyone had done it already. Are the roms compatible between the SLCD and Amoled Incredibles? Any one know? Or am I treading in uncharted waters?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IncredibleDoes:
I have a SLCD Incredible and all roms run just fine. I don't notice anything different beside missing my vibrant AMOLED colors :(

You want to sell me your AMOLED Droid Incredible? I'm desperately looking for another INC to dev on...

ID
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyt01:
Well my company owns both of these, so I can't sell the other one.

So my SLCD DINC will not show Clockworks screens. I just get a black screen with two white lines down either side. phone boots fine and i can get to the bootloader screen but when i try to go into clockwork I only get the black screen with the white outside lines.

Are you using Clockwork? Did you use UnRevolked to load it or Fastboot?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMK83:
How are you using fastboot, I take it you flashed the mfg hboot?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyt01:
Actually I'm not, I used Unrevolked3 to install Clockworkrecovery and supposedly root. But when I run ADB with the SDK it finds the device but it doesn't seem that I really have root.

I had remembered Fastboot-Windows from my previous work with the Nexus and original Droid. I cheated with Unrevolked3 this time, and it worked flawlessly on the Amoled Dinc, but not this SLCD Dinc

the real issue is that I can't see Clockwork's screens at all. Just a black screen with white lines down the side. I can clearly get to the phone through ADB cause it's listed and I can run commands like SU, although it tells me permission denied when I run SU. So it sounds like something didn't quite go right?

I'm not a developer, I'm just a guy that plays with ROMs on a lot of different phones.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodiedwraith:
Yeah I ran unrevoked on mine as well (just got an SLCD version today). I can backup ROMs and everything with full root access, but when booting into clockwork all it shows is black screen with white on the sides, so I can't actually tell what it's doing until it reboots.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyt01:
how can you tell you can back up roms with it? Do you know that the controls work? + - for up and down and the power for select? and are you just memorizing the locations?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodiedwraith:
I just opened up Rom Manager on my phone and when I choose make backup it goes to that black screen and when it finishes it reboots. When I go into ROM Manager it shows that there was a backup made.

I would definitely like a version that could be useable when going through manually into recovery though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyt01:
Wow, I've gotta get with the program. I haven't browsed this forum enough. I had no idea a tool like ROM manager was out there. found it downloaded it loading .7 now on the SLCD Dinc. Black screen with white now as it's loading the rom, no messages on whether it's working or not. Kind of scary, but I'll let it run.

Looks like a very cool tool.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gummehbear:
side question, but any one know how much better the slcd version does with battery? and if they fixed the charging issue (bump charge)?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
i would also like to know this well atleast the bump charge part

the battery is Dependant literally on what colors u have displaying the most

for a

AMOLED screens if you display dark/black more you waste less battery

SLCD screens if you display white/bright colors more you waste less battery

great thing i have a amoled and i love dark colored themes :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgoo99:

I found the answer here yesterday:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799499

look on your box at the model number or on your phone

if it ends with w2 then it's amoled

if it ends with w3 is slcd

I checked my box last night but I sent the UPC back for a rebate so ???
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToyTank:

I have receipt copies somewhere. Hopefully the model number is on it. I do not have a copy of the box.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxon2319:
I had this same issue a few nights ago... you have to upgrade your bootloader to. 92
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbu:
They should already have the .92 bootloader if brand new and stock 2.2.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nazgul07:
Hopefully this helps you...

I do believe that IncredibleDoes uses Amon_Ra recovery, so if he is using a slcd like he says with no problem, then I would try that instead of clockworkmod.

I just did a friends SLCD Dinc and latest Amonra works... CWR does not.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooksalot:
I got mine about 2 months ago and it's AMOLED. It was only about a month ago perhaps a bit more that they announced that they were changing over to SLCD. :D I don't know what I'm going to do if I ever drop this phone and have to replace it. I'll probably beg the insurance company for a AMOLED. LOL!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyt01:
Still working on that. I just switched to the SLCD today and I'm running the Desire HD rom so it's probably not optimized at all for Battery. I used the phone heavily today and right now i have 5% left. Seems a bit better overall.

the one thing I have noticed is that the text on the SLCD is much sharper than the AMOLED screen. Colors are a little sharper on the Amoled but not so much that I notice, but the text sharpness is very noticeable to me. The text is almost iPhone 4 like. Pretty impressive. I'll go with the sharpness over the colors anyday.

i'll post an update on the battery as I get more use time.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igotadinc:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug piston:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mixpix405:
I had the AMOLED dInc since it was released, but just got a new phone in a warranty replacement. I know you can look at the box and get the model number and look for W2 or W3 to tell which you have, but the replacement didnt come in your typical packaging.

I'm assuming that I got a refurb, because the screen on this phone looks exactly the same to me as my original - but admittedly don't have the best vision in the world.

Is there any OTHER way to tell for sure what screen I have?

Menu > Settings > About Phone > Hardware Information

gives me a Hardware Version of 0002

Any chance that correlates to the W2/W3 that is on the packaging?

If it gives you a bad headache, its slcd....if it display darker colors better, its amoled

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman24v:
Unless I look at it with a microscope I can't tell the difference. Other then that AMOLED is the ****.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melophat:
easy way: get a magnifying glass and look at the screen(you may need a relatively high powered magnifying glass, haven't tried it myself) and compare it to the following pic:

if it looks closer to the one on the left then it's the SLCD, if it looks closer to the one on the right, it's AMOLED(pentile matrix)

*may not look EXACTLY like the one on the left, as i believe that is a standard lcd, not a SLCD, but i'd imagine the pixel layout is similar and you should def. be able to tell the difference once you're able to see individual pixels
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angermeans:
I have had the AMOLED and the SLCD (which I currently have after selling my AMOLED and getting Droid 2. Then hating droid 2 and trading for X and then hating X and getting another Inc. Sorry for long story!) I thought I would be bummed with the screen as I have always loved the AMOLED (I have owned the Nexus One and Samsung Captivate before switching to Verizon) and was sure that I would never buy anything else. When I had the Droid 2 I loved the screen as it was very crisp and I can do without the bright colors. So I got the SLCD screen and was very surprised as it is the best of both worlds. It has bright colors (not as bright as AMOLED, but also the colors on the SLCD where a lot more true) I read that the SLCD has many more colors like 10X as many as AMOLED. It doesn't have true black like AMOLED but it does have much darker black than any LCD screen. The big difference like I said is in text and the whites on the screen are much brighter with SLCD. Also everything just looks much clearer. I haven't given much thought to the screen technology that AMOLED uses even though I read an article by arstechnica way back when I had the Nexus One. It uses the Pen Tile Matrix display and I thought it was just something that many people really blew out of proportion (I still kinda believe that they did as AMOLED is a great screen tech), but I prefer the SLCD over any screen I have ever owned before. If I had the choice I would pick this one over the AMOLED for sure. I had a good week with both phones and had a good long time to see the differences and there isn't much difference that you can notice in color but pixel density there is a huge difference. Hope this helped anyone that is bummed to miss the AMOLED because you aren't missing out on much and both screens have their advantages.

Now back on subject the first thing I did when getting this phone is root using Unrevoked and I also had the same problem with the recovery screen showing black with white lines and I found the update a couple posts above and now I am flashing ROMs like before with no problem. SkyRaider is my favorite just in my opinion. Have fun guys and I hope this helps.

SLCD Incredible

I just dusted off my old Incredible and rooted it to take on vacation, but I am having the SLCD recovery problems. Luckily you have a solution to that. Unluckily it has been wiped off the internet for a few years now. Is there anywhere I can download your SLCD incredible recovery .img. Because of some other unfortunate things, I cannot root my phone with unrevoked3 3.21 so I cannot use its built in SLCD support.

[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I have had my G2 purchased off contract for 3 days now and other than the hinge issue and the 4g internal issue I find that my device just does not want to hold a signal other than E or G. What little time it spends on H is a small percentage of operation time. In the exact same location and time my Vibrant will hold 3 G at two bars and My Nexus One also at 1 or 2 bars the G2 stays on E at 3 or 4 bars or less and when I attempt to dl something it either hangs and goes to G or stays on E and I get the "trouble connecting with server try again and downland unsuccessful. This is the worst reception I have ever had on a phone in this same exact location. I think the G2 is a wonderful phone having the potential to be a super phone. I am hoping that this is just a defect with this unit and I have arranged to have a replacement. Anyone else having this issue?
