This true story. My tp2 got another dead kb. Took it to the repair store. Gave them the phone. They told me to wait about 45 minutes and they will call me up when its done. I played with the floor phones while I waited. They called my name and I'm back on the road.Then another few weeks passed and again another dead kb. Went back and went thru the same procedures. Waited 30 minutes and they called my name and I got another tp replacement. Few days later, again another dead kb. Went back and again went thru the same procedures. I played with the floor phones and 30 minutes later they called my name and off I went with another new tp. few days later again my tp got another dead kb. This time I went and did the same dance. I have them the phone and waited.... And waited... And waited. I waited about a hour and got kinda happy and figured I might just very a tp2 this time since this was the longest wait so far. The store wasn't full but not empty. As 1 hour and 20 passed, a nice good looking older asian Sprint lady asked me if I need help. I said, "no, I was already helped and just waiting on my phone replacement." She said "oh, ok." She walked away and I just sat down on one of the chairs and checked my watch. Now it was 1 hour and 45 minutes. I figured the tech was busy and soon I will be called. I waited another 30 minutes and nothing. Now it was a whole 2hours and 30 minutes. And I got a bit concerned and looked around and noticed alot of the sprint workers were just chit chatting. Not busy at all. So I just walked to the counter and asked if my phone was done. The guy goes to the back and brings it to me. He said, "oh, its been done for over 2 hours." I said.. "2 hours? I was not aware it was done, I've been waiting to get my name called like the prior visits." The guy looks at me and says " step up dude."

Lol. I wanted to throw him thru the glass window that said SPRINT.

Lol. True story.

once i asked in store why google star map wouldnt work on a phone and the rep told me "you cant you that application during the day bc there are no stars out."
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Lol where are they getting their workers from ?

thats how i would expect a worker at wal-mart to talk
[Epic 4G General] tclarkey:
Nah, all you would hear at Walmart is "No hablo Ingles"
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
my local wal-mart only has black people though no spanish speaking people a few disabled people at the door though
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
Not true. I was having that many issues from the phones I was getting from verizon. My phones look brand new cause I spend a lot of money protecting them. It is the phones.
[Epic 4G General] greatlakesghost:
yes you can, my curves were all trackball issues, and my tours were all software/ reception related and then moment is the moment. sprint is a very swap phone happy if you don't have a repair center which i didn't until about a year ago. and i had a replacement epic the very first day i got it cause it totally froze up, my second one had some strange bug that samsung wanted back to test and my third one i have had since nov.. so yes its possible. ;)
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
data lockups on my wife's intercept. Very easy to duplicate.

In fact, the last 'bad' intercept that the manager finished swapping into my account, handed me while it was powering up locked up as he placed it in my hand. black screen, soft buttons lit but no response from the phone.

pulled the battery and put it back and it powered up.. i told him "if i take that phone back out to my wife, i'll be divorced in a week, so do whatever u gotta do to get her into something else" he agreed and hooked her up w/ a Transform.

True story a friend of mine a few months ago samsung instinct touchscreen (unbelievably. Outdated) stopped working.... he takes it to the sprint store the rep turns his back and gives it back...........we where amazed...... little did we know smh... we asked what did u do he said hold the device upright 1 hand on left upper corner and 1 hand on the right lower corner and began bending the phone............. so i said what if i break it in half........ long story short he was given the moment..............
[Epic 4G General] BrianDigital:
I was once told that the battery part in the settings was a third party app from.the market...I was just showing it cause my girls epic had some massive battery drain and nothing showed up in there
[Epic 4G General] byersbw:
Really?

Just got done talking to a Sprint rep. Told him of my new bluetooth/battery drain/signal issues/crappy camera/anything else I'm missing since getting the update to Froyo on my Epic. Asked when I could look forward to an update fixing those issues. Was told:

Sprint Rep: "Don't worry sir, they will be fixed VERY soon. Samsung is aware of the issues and is working on a fix".

Me: "So there is no time frame?"

Sprint Rep: "I do not have a date but they should have the update completed in the next 2 or 3 months."

Me: "2 or 3 months? That is NOT VERY SOON!"

I gave up at that point. Really? Sounds to me like someone has a distorted definition of "Very Soon". At least this explains why the update took this long to get here in the first place.

Touch Pro Repair

I remember when I was on they third touch pro in 3 months and sprint would not send me another refurb. The first had a bad USB port and would not charge unless you wiggled it. The next had spots all over the display...more then you would count and also the dim spot. The third had a bad USB port. I called to get another Touch Pro and sprint forced me to go to a Service Center that is almost 40 minutes drive. He said he could fix it...yeah! He tinkered with the phone and gave it back to me. I went to leave the store and there is no signal. I sit down and reboot the phone...same thing. It was like airplane mode, only it was not in airplane mode.

I went back to the window and he looks at the phone and tells me: I sorry sir but the phone is broken and I don't have time to fix it." What??? He's the one who just broke it. Shouldn't he have noticed that before he gave the phone back to me and told me it was fixed. They trry to order me another phone instead of a refurb...They can't. Tries to offer me a Hero...LOL. I walk out of the store disgusted and call asurion. I have a new TP2 the next day that lasted me almost 2 years until I switched to the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Its a lot different if you go to them in person

When I first got my hero on launch day, it was the htc branded one with the bug that it displayed EvDO rev. 0 instead of Rev. A while in 3g (that was really about it LOL) and I took it in a week later when the "with Google" branded ones started coming in and had the little insignificant bug fixed.

I told the rep I had the bug and he said "its ok you're still getting 3g" and I said id like to know when I'm in Rev. A...(I also felt like it'd be better with a "with Google" phone) and he pulled out his hero to show me he has the bug too so its no problem, but he had a "with Google" one that showed EvDO rev. A and he said "oh. Well alright wait right here!" And he went to th back and got a brand new boxed hero and gave it to me. He took my old hero too but let me keep the sd card lol

You just gotta be civil. Would you replace a phone for a person that was being all *****y or would you rather humor them?
[Epic 4G General] coldk9joe:
Ok first post for me...got the Transform my 1st Android after HTC Mogul.

Worked wonderfully for about 2 weeks and all of the sudden I got a black screen....no matter what I do...black screen. Take it to the store and tech has at it...comes back after 15min and tells me that they ordered me a replacement phone as it was "toast" but was able to get the main screen back up. Told me not to turn it off and just use it as a cell (meant stay off the internet...apps...etc) as he didn't know how it may react to save me a trip back. Get a call the next day...refurb is in....got it works fine for bout 2 months

So now I keep having issues with receiving phone calls at times, google stops to sync after while and tells me that there is an issue with the network (starts up fine after I do a reboot...syncs then its back to the same)....and just general data connections especially with email....supposed to sync hourly....darn thing syncs when it wants....most of the time have to reboot to sync.

So my experience with Sprint is always the same....take the battery out....reboot...they do something on their side...PRL is always the same...60676...tech ask me to make a phone call...works...never had issue making a call...receiving I do....he calls me...works...

Now I figured out when I can't receive calls...when I tether and when I am on the device internet itself...such as google something...etc and at the same moment get a call...it bounces straight to voicemail

yeah whatever, i know its an old post.
[Epic 4G General] jkrough0728:
Being a Sprint Technician myself, not all of Sprint employees don't know what they are talking about. You also have to take in account if that person just got hired they have a lot of training to go through. And every human makes mental mistakes and sometimes I know the answer and spit out something totally wrong.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
whats dns?
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
I understand your anger towards the misinformation. But you don't need to use that term at all man, not knowing what DNS is does not mean nor does it give you the right to address someone due to their race by a slur that's insulting to a whole group of people. It's not justified nor justifiable.

Come on, really.

Ouch well now if you pay attention he didn't say anything racially aimed he said ghetto now there's ghettos of all races so you should feel pretty moronic in your racial slur by saying ghettos limited to one race!!!

Just my input

Edit I know see see he said coons at the bottem I am sorry forgive me?
[Epic 4G General] BigBrotherMotown:

Its funny how people go to the internet to GROW a PAIR....

He would NEVER call someone a COON to their face....(Maybe a 90 year old lady)

Sprint-tastic**

I used to work for Sprint, and yes, there seems to be no lack of "opportunity" as far as staying current goes... So my funny "moment" (no pun intended) was when i took my Samsung Moment to get updated at the Sprint store. I was the only person in the store, and there were 5 ppl working, including the Too-Cool-for-School tech repair guy. Fabulous, i know. It took him 2 hours and 3 attempts to flash my Moment. The comedic part came when I learned to flash it myself and it took all of 7 minutes. Way to go Super-Cool-Pimp of the Mobile Phone World! That being said. My Epic is the shiznit. Glad i can install/flash goodies myself... THANKS XDA SUPER-PIMPS!! :D
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
Yeah I'm glad I can flash my epic to so I don't have to have Sprint do it for me. It can take hours.

[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
Worst yet.

I call tech support after my data/gps/cam break after update to eb13 (via samsung zip an recov mode) and the lady (teir1) asks if I have rebooted my phone, I say, yes several times. She tells me to remove phone's battery, and leave out for 5minutes. I tell her I am on that cellphone and she replies "if we get disconnected she will call me back"...

I asked for her supervisor. He gets on the line, I tell him wa she said and asks "did you do that ma'am". I said no, as I AM ON THAT PHONE! He suggests I reboot and call back. I hang up and next day go into the store. Front rep tells me I just have to reply. He boots into recovery mode, starts reappling update (standing in lobby) and dropsthe phone. Out pops the battery. It get stuck in a bootloop. He takes it back to techs who rturn it but now there's a giant (inch long) crack. I am like WTF! The tech tries to convince me it was already there. 15mins of arguing and finally I am ready to kill. I ask for is supervisor. Supervisor walks over, grabs a brand-new one, hands it to me and starts in to "in a few days you're going to receive a survey..."

Omg.
[Epic 4G General] galaxywhat?:
If I complain that the manual eb13 zip messed up my phone would they say its my fault?
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
To be fair, I caught a heavy dose of sarcasm..

And food for thought.

These derogatory slurs only have such detrimental effects, when people call attention to and create a stigma, no matter how positive the intention..

You stop letting them bother you, and they eventually cease to be, just as all previous slurs are today considered childish at best..

Case in point, derierre used to be akin to saying ass...
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
I updated orignal post with rules. I also changed the title so that way evryone feels like they have a place to post FUNNY CLEAN stories.

"I get all kinds of FCs, things are slow, and I hate my phone! I used the OTA update.zip to go from 2.1 to 2.2. SAMSUNG AND SPRINT SUCK! I HATE EB13"

...So you transitioned from one major OS version to another without clearing any data...

...and you expected your phone to work perfectly?

Geniuses. :D

Note: This is not aimed at anyone in this thread - I just find it funny that people complain about problems with such a transition and don't try a clean Odin flash (which eliminates most to all "bugs" in EB13). Sprint's decision not to wipe data is also a funny one. Did they not /expect/ these problems?
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
That's why it has wipe data built into the stock recovery... Just below the update option..

The fact its not included in the script is not that surprising..
[Epic 4G General] coldk9joe:
So I had issues with receiving phone calls, got a replacement phone now but before I got it I took it into the store.

Tell the tech my issue that I don't get calls while I am on the internet....actively using data....there reply as expected..."hard reset"

Tell him not gonna do that as I have done it several times and the problem persists

Got a phone issue? Do a hard reset....lmao
[Epic 4G General] Leviuqse:
I'm an IT technician. I think there should be a law that you need to have a license to be able to use a computer if you dont have one, then you cant buy one.

Once a custumer told me her computer wasnt booting up, I told her to bring me the computer only, NO keyboard, mouse, ect. She brought the MONITOR only!! 3-5 times per month people bring their laptops WITHOUT THE CHARGER!!! last week a person told me if i could clean her computer becuase it had viruses and she wasnt able to connect to the internet, turns out she had the wireless off.(she actually took it to another computer repair place where they were going to charge her $200 to repair it)

a lot of people whenever they want to go a website (lets say facebook.com) THEY ALWAYS search "facebook.com" in google..then they click it

to tell you everyone the truth, I know a lot of IT persons, including me, that love to get people confuse with fancy computer terms...lol..
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
I'm included in this list... :D

I see this when I ask people to show me the exact process that they used to trace an error, and I want to strangle each of them that does it... lol

Tried to mod default desktop items and widgets to replicate stock SE items, however most just don't have equivalent aosp items, so just added a few stock instead

Modded 1st app drawer pane to show stock android items when using default custom sorting

Note however, in lieu of standard sms and map apps, I prioritized chompsms and brut maps.

Some widgets will not look right (like in my previous tw3 laucher mod), cant be helped, dont complain about that.

Uninstall any previous version before installing this to minimize issues.

Any way to get Flash Player working on the Nook? Specifically HC?
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
NO, and here is why, The HC preview is based on stock Nook 2.1 kernel. Once we get the full HC Code and that gets ported to Nook Color, then you can use Flash on it.

Other wise Please Try Nookie Froyo(2.2), or CM7(2.3.2), These Both support Flash.
[Nook Color General] ScottyNuttz:
How do we know that the HC source code will have a usable kernal for the nook color? I don't understand how this works.
