[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
If you're bill went up a few months back why didn't you go online and check what was added? The fee can not be added unless you switch phones so I doubt that was the root cause of your bill going up, you probably had a third-party bill you for short codes or something of that nature. Does your line say "premium data $10" on your bill? If it doesn't then that's not the reason your bill went up. Even if you are in contract, if you switch to another smart phone you are consenting to the new charge, so that argument is out the window.
[EVO 4G General] DoctorComrade:
If your other phone is a 3G phone you are SOL. Sprint charges the same amount for 3G phones as they do for 4G phones.
[EVO 4G General] heathmcabee:
The $10 data premium has been extended too all Smartphones, regardless of 4g capabilities. The only way you will get charged for this is if you change phones for repair, switch phones to another, or get a replacement and change phones during the process. It's downright shady that they tried to charge this and change your contract without your consent, and I would have been upset also. But if you made changes to your account before hand and then the changes went into effect, then you must have done one of the things listed above.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Taking phones for repairs and replacements will not charge you the $10
[EVO 4G General] potna:
is my little story too crazy to be believable for you?

how could you possibly make such assumptions about my credibility?

are you the csr i just talked too?

i would post screen shots of my bill showing you what i say to be true, but i dont feel like putting that much work into it.

i would be surprised if i am the only one who gets these charges

why didnt i see this charge when they first stared this crap?

well i forgot to pay my bill and i was 2 months behind and i did the math and it didn't add up. so i did see the charges, only it was when i actual looked at my bill, what does this have to do with anything? is someone trying to pointlessly poke holes into my story? lol
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Were you ever suspended for non-payment?
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
I don't doubt this story.

I know that when I started with Sprint a while back I had a spending limit. Fine, no biggie, my monthly bill was way under the limit anyways.

Well, last year they suddenly started charging me $5.00 a month for the "Spending Limit Program Fee." I questioned them adding this charge after I was in a contract, and I was told that Sprint had some kind of right to do this because of some clause in the contract. They said they would stop charing me for it if I enrolled in automatic payments so I did.

Also, two years ago I moved from Missouri to Florida. I checked my bill one day and I saw I was being charged Missouri surcharges. I called and they said they would update the information and I thought that was that. Well a few months went by and I noticed my bill was a bit higher. So I finally checked it out and sure enough they were now charging me Missouri AND Florida surcharges! For 5 months! (Fortunately they credited back that amount).

I guess my point is these mistakes happen, and all companies tend to err on the side of overcharging. Which makes me sad.
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
The OP said Sprint upgraded the line without telling him/her.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Yes, the ASL fee of $4.99 was added last year in January, you had 3 months to cancel if you didn't agree to it.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
nope, but i can be an iditiot about things at times, especialy when it comes to watching the calendar, so while i have been late with my bill, and often at that, my service has not been interupted for any reason.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Hmm... in this case then it's simply an error. Though, if you ever did switch phones it would be added. If your line was upgraded without your permission, did you receive a new phone?
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
So I was told. I'm not bashing Sprint here, just saying its feasible for a charge to show up unexpectedly without notification, and its possible to be charged incorrectly.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
That's for sure, I see it all the time

[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Hi,

I am looking to get into a Windows Phone 7 as my second device after my Samsung Galaxy S and I am really liking the Omnia 7 with the HTC HD7 running a close second choice.

I obviously love the SAMOLED (Super AMOLED) display of the Omnia 7 especially after experiencing it on my Galaxy S so the Omnia 7 is my first choice but i do also like the HD7.

My question really (after coming from an Omnia i900 and now my Galaxy S) is... What customizations are available for Windows Phone 7?

I actually really like how clean and user friendly the new UI is but for example, if I want to install a different keyboard (as I find the stock one to be a bit clunky) or if I want to enable "registry tweaks" (like I could with my original, Omnia) can you do these types of things?

Also... The one reason I am also looking at the HTC HD7 is that I heard that the Omnia 7 had some bad issues with the recent update that was causing the phone to brick and of course, many people had issues with their Galaxy S (especially here in Canada) with the internal SD card dying for no reason, etc and getting any help from Samsung was next to impossible.

Can anyone give me some insight into the device itself and what tweaks / customizations are available, etc?

Thanks,

yiannisthegreek
[HD7 General] Audio:
Hi Yiannis and welcome to the HD7 area.

WP7 is very different from other OS's at the minute as it's primary aim is to provide a working Out-Of-The-Box experience, and as such there is very little to customise currently.

If you are an Android owner/WM6.5 owner and enjoy flashing/Customising your device then i would unfortunately recommend you stay away from WP7 for the time being.

It is a young OS and as such has it's draw backs mainly in terms of features which are missing or not working as desired, but it also lacks the ability to customise and therefore it may not be for you.

I'd recommend you take a look at the stickies at the top of this HD7 area as well as the WP7 area at the top of the forum, as these will provide the most accurate information on what you can and cannot currently do with the phone/OS.

In terms of the HD7 or Omnia, they are very much similar devices so if you do feel the urge to join us on the WP7 band-wagon, i doubt you will be dissatisfied with either device :)
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Thanks for the info. Ya... I know that WP7 is definitely not made for MAJOR customizing and actually that is why I like it too.

All I'd maybe like to do is install a different keyboard and add some new colors for the live tiles, etc.

I will be keeping my Galaxy S as well and will continue to play with it and perhaps make it my toy and use WP7 as my daily driver.

Can u tell be what u like about the HD7 and why u chose it say over the Samsung Omnia 7? Pros, Cons, etc...
[HD7 General] Audio:
Yes changing the colour and position of the tiles is probably the only real way of customising at the minute, but other things such as keyboards, themes (thinking of SPB here) and such are not currently possible.

As for why i like the HD7, i just like it's big screen and kick stand. Other than that it's not really got anything that stands out. I think the big screen was the main marketing gimmic.

There are problems with it which you can find in this thread but they seem to differ slightly from device to device. e.g. i don't really see a problem with the battery drain in mine nor do i see the Pink tint Camera issue. But any device will have teething problems, just got to hope they iron them out over time via software updates if possible.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Bump... can anyone else give me their opinion on this device?
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
Devices aside, I think WP7 is the most enjoyable mobile experience I've had.

HD7 is pretty sweet as well. I don't have hardly any of the documented issues that others have with this phone.

Is someone else having problem with mvideoplayer (version 2.8.1) nothing is working, the show starts and there no sound or it doesnt start at all, sometimes only subtitles and sund go without picture, sometimes is just a black screen
[Epic 4G General] quickstang:
Today I was going to browse the web and the phone decided to freeze. The bottom light were on, but would not do anything. Hit the back arrow and nothing. The screen was black as well.

At that time I had 77% battery, and decided to just reboot the phone. I hit the power button, rebooted and then once it rebooted the phone said charge battery and was at 9%. I was like...WTF? So I decided to reboot again and then I got 27%

The phone is at 27% now and never went back to the 77% before it was frozen and I rebooted.

Does anyone know what caused this, or why it would have done this? Seems odd to me it can be at 77% and then go to 9% doing nothing but a reboot after frozen. Not only that, rebooting again took it to 27%

I haven't the slightest idea where to begin.
[Epic 4G General] fastmikey1969:
this has happened to me after rebooting sometimes for flashing kernels, no idea why
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Flashing eats up battery, that's why they usually say make sure you have a good charge beforehand.

As to the OP, same stuff happens to me too :/ still not sure why
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Happened to me a lot also. Thank god I have multiple batteries. Happened a lot more when DI18 was just starting to get custom roms/kernels
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Ditto - has happened to me once. Last week.
[Epic 4G General] antmon:
this has happend to me as well....not sure why....

but what's funny, it seems just the battery gauge (i have tried 3 of them) gets messed up...

few days ago i was at 65%, rebooted and came back at 14%.... i surfed the web for 30min and it stayed at 14%....obviously it must had dropped...

only displayed properly after it fully charged overnight to 100%.
[Epic 4G General] quickstang:
Hmmm....Had no idea there would be people with this problem. So looks like we are all clueless. :)

I do have a custom Kernel and Bonsai, but this is really the first time this has happened, so there has to be a glitch with something but I am just not sure what.

More than likely my guess would be something with either an app, or a kernel and setcpu, but it's a wild guess.
[Epic 4G General] illwon:
I've had this happen to me before, several times in fact, while using custom roms while on DK28. Most recently with Bonsai.

Never happened with the stock tho.

lol that **** happens to me ALL THE TIME! :(
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
I really really like the Bonsai ROMs but (for me) I noticed this ALOT while using the Bonsai DK28 builds... Very frustrating. When it freezes up, do a battery pull..

I did not have it happen (to me) using stock (rooted) EB13, nor have I had it happen (yet) using the ACS frozen build w/ OC/UV kernel. To be fair, I've only been running the ACS ROM/kernel for a week.

You can tell when it's gonna lock up though too if you pay attention, the phone starts to lag, data gets all wonky, almost like a car sputtering and running out of gas.. if you can catch it during this 'wonky' time, reboot or do a battery pull, it can save some frustration.

Something is causing it and I'm wondering if we can get a logcat before or during the 'happening' ?

Just curious
[Epic 4G General] quickstang:
Looking at my phone this morning, I can say that something is making the battery read as if it was lower than it was.

Here is what I got. It happened when I was shopping yesterday around 3:45pm.

I came home, saw it was at like 29% down from the 77% and didn't use it much. I did check twitter and for a few updates, but that was it.

It was around 10:45pm and guess what? The phone STILL SHOWED 29%

I thought to myself...now how in the world can it still be that and not drop 1%? Something must be making it show that when it is actually much higher. Maybe it went from 77% down to 55%, but the display shows 29% even when it isn't.

Decided to leave the phone unplugged while I went to bed. Got up a few minutes ago and guess what? 8hrs and 45min off the charger at the 29% and guess where it is?

Yes, 29% still. So from 3:45pm till 7:15am it is still showing it is at 29% battery. No way that is correct in any way. The phone has been unplugged for 36hrs.

15hrs of it being unplugged it was showing 29%. I thought when I got home that surely the battery would just keep dropping and never moved 1% in 15hrs.

So at 36hrs, you can tell it is great battery life, but that gauge is TOTALLY wrong and off, and something caused it to go haywire. I am starting to think it is the Kernels we are using with the overclock/undervolt. This is my only guess as I was using Bonsai 2.0 for the longest time and had no problems.

The only other thing installed aside from programs was the custom Twilight Zone Kernel.

I did just get on the web and the 29% went down to 25% in like 60 sec, so if it can go down 0% in 15hrs and then all of the sudden 4% in one minute, you know something is totally wrong battery wise.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
When this has happened to me before, I was able to pull battery and restart and it went back up about 60%
[Epic 4G General] quickstang:
Just pulled it and it went down to 19% from the 25% before I pulled it. :confused:

Where the hell all of these crazy % come from is beyond me. I wish I new why it couldn't just all be correct.

Oh well, the Nexus S 4G may be coming out, so who knows. Maybe i'll sell this phone and get one. :) (We can thank Samsung if this happens with people)

However, I am SO GLAD we have devs to try and fix things and make things better that Samsung never could do.

Since it is a rare occurrence, its not that big of a deal. I just wish I knew why when the phone freezes and we reboot, the battery decides to bite the dust.
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
While we've all probably experienced the loss of significant battery after reboot, yesterday I had the opposite happen.

I was down below 10% battery left, rebooted and then had 42% battery left. I did recalibrate after flashing genocide last week, so I'm a little confused about this one.

Sounds like you need to look a little harder at your pc. I had no issues with it, is your phone plugged in with a SD card when you run it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Willieumm:
Yeah and I really have very minimal programs on my pc. I clean out all the crapware when I get one and the only thing even close to malware protection or anti-virus that I have is McAfee which I killed completely through the task manager. I don't have a clue what would cause AceHackKit to just close when I open it like that. :\

Try un-installing your anti-virus instead of killing it thru task manager

Ok, I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks.

I rooted using ATTN1's script (the other method aborted immediately and not in a kind way and scared me) and the quick flash and close when executing ATTN1's script was happening to me. Try <Control>-Right-click...felt kinda silly but at the same time relieved when that worked for me...I feel your pain. I also run with stripped back PC's. I have nada anti-virus for years, unless I suspect something and download Maleware bytes a couple of times and then un-install, and I never find anything anyways...I had to go install Java and latest frameworkNet before rooting. It took me two attempts...for each portion of the ATTN1 method. Script aborts, white screen soft brick, CWM black screen...each time I recovered the hand set, regrouped, verified the procedure...and did exactly the same procedure I had tried before and that is specified, because I had been reading for a month before I actually did it, and I was pretty versed in the procedure. ... anyway happy rooted now and will never go back. Worth the pain if can get through the rooting process IMO. Good luck.

maybe you are still missing some apps that you can freeze. i have about 30 process in that running tab but most of them looks like android os processes. i wouldnt worry about those too much.

try going to settings>applications>running services and see what you have running and you can tap them to stop the process. i have 4 things running there when the phone is on standby. i bet you have one or two programs that are responsible for draining your battery. it also helps to turn off sync in settings>accounts and sync.

you have androidsdk installed? if so you can try

type:

su

logcat

then put your phone to sleep and you can see what is still running.

Hello everybody,

I'm thinking of buying a hd2 and I was already reading the forum and looking for some cases but the thing is... what should/would or must I buy!?:confused:

I also own a Dell streak. With the device I use a full body skin/protector in combination with a leather case.

So the thing is, there are a lot of cases out there and I really want to know if there is a great option which will keep the device slim and really protected.

Like full body skin (if necessary) with:

case 1

case 2 without lower / upper protection

case 3

case 3 - another picture

case 4

Look at size comparison of the two phones. I ordered the Seidio case below and it fits perfect.

The Sprint store has the horizontal leather case with magnetic closure, that fits too.

GO to seidioonline and search for Product Code: HLHEV4AS

If you order this holster make sure it reads Spring-Clip Holster for use with non-cased device.
