what the hell you talking about .

to the OP ! i should keep my TEP then or would it save me money to drop it with the way this is set up ? i pay TEP on 4 phones
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It changes everything for people with TEP as well, replacements are free now.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I've honestly never had insurance on any phone I have ever purchased. Never had a phone lost/stolen, never dropped it and broke it. I handle my phones better than my first born. Now, if you're willing to take a chance against lost/stolen or completely unrepairable, then take it off. If you plan on keeping your phones past 1 year, then keep it.
[EVO 4G General] jesziicuh:
This sounds great ! A couple of weeks ago b4 I got my evo I had the moment I dropped and it was a pretty tough phone. It just had a crack on the side but I did not call sprint cause knew I would have to pay a 1oo. Luckily for me I had an upgrade right around the corner. And these phone aren't cheap I am defin not willing to risk pay over 500$ for a phone when I can prevent this . But I am accidental so this makes sense for me in the ling run for others it really does not make sense. So its all about what works for you
[EVO 4G General] SouL Shadow:
Ok, to summarize for all those who actually skipped reading the article:

WITHOUT TEP you get repairs (or exchanges) for broken or damaged components for only $35.

WITH TEP you get that service FOR FREE.

Either way you get free software fixes and repairs are only done for less than 3 components.

So yes, it's better to have TEP.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
still doesn't answer if they repair broken 4g keys.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Personally, I like to complain about how much of a rip off Asurion is. Pay $100 on top of the monthly fee for a very poorly refurbed phone that has a busted speaker and flaky screen, then have a sprint tech tell you it's not too bad and that the speaker phone still works good.

I will still recommend Sprint but never their insurance, I'll be happy when I see Asurion go bankrupt.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Highly unlikely as tmo, verizon, att and sprint all use asurion ontop of a ton more carriers.

Sooner or later it will come, AIG and Goldman Sachs were doing a great job of screwing people over and look where it landed them. Companies like that never last.
[EVO 4G General] FIT-Performance:
Where it got them? Ummm... they got a bailout.

Quite the lesson they were taught.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
This is only for business customers...see the attached flyer

for everyone else

It’s just a flat $7. Your phone has a $100 deductable if the phone is lost, stolen, destroyed beyond repair, or water damaged. If anything else goes wrong like the screen goes black, the keyboard doesn’t work, the camera goes on the fritz, etc. There is no cost to fix that.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Ask the family of the executives for those companies. Freddie Mac's CFO was found hung in his basement, another one (I think goldman sachs CFO) was found in his car with a bullet in his head, AIG's CEO has cancer, all of goldman sachs executives had to get concealed carry permits to protect themselves... you have Senators telling you you fail at life and that you seriously need to kill yourself. I bet they're really enjoying their lives about now, all that guilt is poisonous.

That was a bad comparison between Asurion and the banks but when it goes down they'll still have a lot of employees who are going to be upset with someone.
[EVO 4G General] Daft Punk:
Dropped the phone off with Sprint should be fixed by tomorrow and it cost me nothing, even though the rep i was speaking to didnt ****ing know that the policy's described in the OP had been implemented. typical.:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That policy hasn't been rolled out in all areas yet if any to be honest with you. Its supposed to start January

Sent from the island my Evo built
[EVO 4G General] rogerwalker22:
I went into Sprint this morning with a cracked/shattered screen on my Evo and within 40 min I had a brand new one. Absolutely free of charge =]
[EVO 4G General] DirtyBird6124:
I currently know that for fact this is to be true. I'm currently employed by a company used by Sprint for various jobs.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:

[EVO 4G General] Krynj:
I had to read that article a good two or three times for it to actually sink in. Not because I can't read, or have comprehension issues, but because it's so strange for a carrier to not charge their customers out the ass for each and every little service or "feature". This really makes me happy I'm no longer with VZW (as an employee, and a customer).

This new change in policy, coupled with their recent improvement/expansion of 3G in my area makes me happy to be with Sprint. It also came at a good time, as my Evo suffered its first fall last night. I've had it since launch, and have never dropped it once. But of course my boss has to accidentally knock it off a table at work, straight down onto a concrete floor. There's a ding that's almost impossible to see on the bottom left corner, but now that part of the screen sits noticeably higher than it used to, and I'm concerned that it might get worse over time. Nice to know that I can get it fixed on the cheap now.
[EVO 4G General] fastfreddy7:
Just called 3 sprint stores around my area, Northwest IN, about my cracked screen, I have insurance. One told me 35$ to replace the screen, another told me 100$ through assurion or 120$ through them, another told me assurion only... I need my screen replaced but I dont have the money right now!
[EVO 4G General] ChoonkyMoonky:
Ahhhhh .... another reason why I love Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] Daft Punk:
Man this new policy is great. I thought Sprint was just going to replace my glass....no they replaced the Glass, Trim around Glass that felt some curb rash, and the top and side buttons. FO FREE NINTY NINE :D
[EVO 4G General] Krynj:
These success stories are making me want to take the 2 hour drive to my nearest Sprint store to get my very slightly scratched screen and trim replaced. If there's one thing that bugs me, it's having slight imperfections on my gorgeous Evo.
[EVO 4G General] scourge73:
Well i wish I could say the same thing about sprint I called them three different times about my trim being cracked under the volume keys and the power button. On the second call the level 2 tech said to take it to teh st. louis store to get it replaced and they flat out refused to replace it.

I called for the third time and the escalation manager was a super **** and said i had to pay the insurance rate of 100.00 I am so super pissed now.

I wonder when this kicks in in January if they will fix it finally.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flawlessbmxr:
Is it possible that anyone saved the sprint hotspot installation files? I would like to reinstall it. Right now I'm using the epic experience rom and its not preloaded (for obvious reasons).

Edit: I have tried both of the ones listed for the I9000 and they don't work. Even with different kernels.

Go to google and type "android wifi tether", then click on the first link that pops up, at the top of the page that loads, click "downloads" then when that page redirects, your wifi tether apks are listed there. Pretty much any one of them work. And they're free... they don't charge $1 per day when you use it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flawlessbmxr:
the reason I want the Sprint app is because I've seen first hand that the rooted wifi-tether app has slower download speeds. Not by A LOT, but enough to bother me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreggoryD502:
First a little backround. I had a stock rooted vibrant that I used ryans oclf on. Then I flashed bionix 1.9.1 rom with jacs oc/uv kernel. After flashing it I checked ryans lag fix app and it said a lag fix was already applied. No biggie phone is running smooth. So today I noticed an update for ryans lag fix. Afterwards I went to the app and it said v2.2 was available. Anybody see any issues with me using the new version?? Just want a few opinions before I fire it up. Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorter:
I'm running the JPM/JP6 ROM flashed through Kies using registry hack, will need to revert it back to stock T-mobile ROM. Is it possible to do it using Kies and reg hack (if so, what product code should I use)? I've already tried many product codes and none of them seems to be working, also I can't go into test mode using CTRL+ALT+U+P. Is there any way to do this, if not, will I have to use odin? Does the registry hack thing void the warranty? Thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crimson12:
I recently bought some skullcandy 50/50 eabuds (free with some store credit) and found out they had an inline mic. Now i realize that they are specifically compatible with the iphone and iOS, but upon plugging them into my Eris (xtrSense 4.6) they are recognized as a headset device. Unfortunately I cannot get them to work as a headset. If i forced myself to switch to a Froyo ROM (I cannot find one I like lol) would there be any difference (better microphone support?) or anyone that has other skullcandy headphones with microphones, do you have any problems? Sorry for the poorly worded question, Im just not sure how to ask this. Thanks, Ryan

[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
That's hilarious :D and true. I am running his rom and it is working flawless. Fast and smooth and yes it has the Fascinate music player!
[Epic 4G General] smoothone:
You cannot install it like other apps with the installer. You will have to put that apk file in /system/app either by pushing it using adb or just buy root explorer from the market and copy the apk to

/system/app after you mount the folder as r/w of course.
[Epic 4G General] illogic6:
It baffles me that none of the other ROMs have it fixed yet. The instructions are in my ROM's thread. =/

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] }{Alienz}{:
Hey all. First I will say that I am NOT the creator of this app, nor do I have anything to do with its development. I am simply sharing it since I found a topic on it on the general Android app forums on XDA and have come to love it IMMENSELY.

Features:

-FULL 10-band Equalizer

-Preamp

-BEAUTIFUL and RESPONSIVE clean interface

-Swipe support for changing songs with impressive 3D animation

-Support of just about EVERY music format known to man WITH equalizer and preamp support on all

-Folders as PLAYLISTs support

-Pretty widget

-Easy to navigate, FAST

Did I mention that if you use it on a Galaxy S device (ahem our Vibrants), it can sound VERY VERY impressive due to the Galaxy S having a really high-end sound chip (either the best or one of the best on the market currently). To boost the volume use it in conjunction with Audioboost based on supercurio's audio fix. You can find Audioboost on the market or somewhere on the XDA forums.

Trial version was just released on the market. Search "PowerAmp"
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kuhan:
Huh... I'm really enjoying Winamp atm strangely enough. Thought I got rid of that bug in 2003, but it keeps haunting me lol
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
Its a really nice music app but damn the UI is ugly and cluttered.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] lookitzjohnny:
thank you nice find! love the equilizer! very good bass with the vibrant headset
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Ste11a:
I'm giving this a try. Thanks for sharing the news about this app.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] raduque:
Buttons look too small. Does it have a widget that consists of just 3 big buttons (next, back, play/pause)? That'll make any player the #1 for me - easiest to use while driving. MixZing comes closest with it's 1x4 widget, Winamp's widget takes up too much room and the buttons are too small.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] }{Alienz}{:
Haha. I use MixZing for drivign and PowerAmp for headphones now. Reason is this way I don't have to switch equalizers every time. And MixZing (if you open it full or u use the app Shake2PlayNext) is really easy to navigate while driving while PowerAmp has got the EQ powahhh.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] karmasore:
thanks for the info about this app. it's great.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] atlaswingpasaway:
im concerned about the battery consumption. even with a widget.

right now im using either MUSIC PLAYER PRO and/or MORTPLAYER. and they both consume battery faster than the stock music player.

I need folder playing, but i really dont need equalizer coz my vibrant sounds AWESOME.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] hoott:
On one hand it can read my .flac file tags properly! On the other hand it doesn't scrobble or have support for non-imbeded album art. If cubed and this player merged it would be perfect! You guys should try cubed, it pretty neat and has the large button widget, but no EQ, although I have never been a fan of EQs.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] webstar1:
Does it gave 5.1 digital surround sound for our headsets?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] raduque:
Hah, EQ. Honestly, it's not a feature I need or want, since I only listen to music on my phone in the car, and I have a high-end-ish headunit with full tonal controls. My biggest want/need is largest buttons possible for skipping and play/pause while driving.

PS: Can't use "shake2playnext" when it's in the car mount. ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] floepie:
Very nice player! I'm usually not one for players with "busier" UI's, but this one is so well thought out - with very nice animations. It feels very high end. And, I don't have a need for the EQ or tonal controls either.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] demize!:
Let's see if this responds to my Zaggs remote commands. The only one that has so far is mixzing
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Kwaii49:

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xplanowestx:
Just as an FYI to everybody this application is now on the market for beta testing search "PowerAmp". You can also go to his website at http://power-amp.info to find out change logs and such, also has a Barcode image for his app as well.

This version is now outdated.

Correct. Was just released on the market a few minutes ago. Build number is 204

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ajamils:
Awesome player !! Few things that I would like added to it

- Show artist picutre when browsing by Artist (just like when browsing by album)

- Option to display album/artist pictures in Grid layout.

- Automatically download artist pictures.

- Ability to select artist/album art manually.

All the above options are available in ProPlayer, if anybody wants to see an example.

For some reason it resets my screen timeout to nothing, so it makes the screen turn off in ~5sec, whether I'm in the app or not. I checked my screen timeout settings and nothing was selected, when I had it set to 1min prior to using this app
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] heygrl:
This app is awesome. FINALLY one that rivals the Vibrant's still really good music player. Mixzing is garbage compared to this new music player.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] atricio:
Igot thE app from the market the price for full version is 5.00dollars , but I tell you guys it's great really happy !!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] CappyQ:
Wow. Prior to PowerAMP, I've only stuck with two music players on Android since I got my G1: the Android 1.5/1.6 stock music player, and the slightly modified CyanogenMod Music Mod-- I even skipped the Vibrant music player because I thought it wasn't as sleek.

I've tried dozens of music players, but this is the first one worth switching to as a permanent player. Sleek, efficient, quick, and the equalizer sounds fantastic. Get it!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] heygrl:
I would never call this sleek, it's clunky in some respects, especially the tiny touch buttons.

The stock player is as sleek as it gets, especially in FroYo where a number of problems are fixed like blurry cover art.

Tips

- Quickly double tap the song title area to toggle between the large multiline and small single line display modes.

- Press and hold some buttons for additional functionality: hold the volume toggle button to show the full screen volume bar, hold the PlayPauseStop button to stop.

- Don't want or need all three control surfaces (music, podcast, and internet radio)? Since V3, you can disable ones you don't want under Settings->Display

Many Thanks thx1200. Tried it on hd2, miri Elegancia v5.0 Final WWE

on both internal memory and storage card, it says SQL CE 3.5 may not be installed. please install ....

but in the requirements you've mentioned the sql is included in the cab installer!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eversp01:
same problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farmer Ted:
This is a really nice app. I had the sqlce error as well. The problem is that the cab isn't installing the secondary sqlce cab, but it is being deleted from the Avian folder. I unpacked the cab and installed the sqlce cab on my own, and now the app loads. I don't know how the hell to use it yet, lol, but it's really good looking and has cool features. I've uploaded the sqlce cab so anyone with the same problem can load it on their own.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I think the problem is that your ROMs have an older SQL CE installed, but the installer isn't smart enough to detect this. I'll try to fix for a future version, but until then, I'm going to move your SQL CE cab to the top post. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eversp01:
Thanks! Installed this cab and now it's working fine.

When I push the END/POWER button in order to save power then the player stops. Any way to avoid this?

Any way to (re)arrange the buttons (music, podcasts, internet radio, library, playlist editor, settings), or even disable some of them? E.g. I would like to have "music" and "library" next to one another.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lPatriciaNl:
can't launch.

When I tried to install, I can't because intallation was interrupt by some cause.So I install it with SKtoos and when launch program I have message that contain next "An error has occurred which caused Avian Play to crush..... Exception: system.componentmodel.win32exception"

Have i710 WM5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
It must be sending a keystroke that AP doesn't like. In events.ini, try commenting out the entire "[Key_D]" section and see if that helps. that's the enter key assigned to PlayPauseStop.

The bottom "sense" style buttons will be editable and rearrangable as a future feature, it is not currently possible. You can edit the control buttons in Controls.INI -- see the third post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
It may not work as I noticed you said you have WM5. This app was designed specifically for WM6 and some features may not work with WM5.

However, it might still be possible for it to work in a limited fashion. But if the install did not complete, then it definitely won't work. Make sure that .Net CF 3.5 and SQL CE 3.5 are both installed and try launching again. If it doesn't work after that, it might not work for your WM5 device.
