any others on here except me?
what exactly do you mean by champions???
Hmm.. Well anyway i have a Rogers Magic with 288Mb Ram, i was gonna get the mytouch but considering it only had 192mb, i said its not worth it.
2000 tmob u.s. employees were selected to recieve the myTouch a few weeks ago. im curious to see how many know the phone they have is capable of half the stuff it really is.

lol! well i was actualy at tmobile yesterday purchasing a screen protector for my Magic! and they didnt know believe me when i said the mytouch had 192mb Ram instead of the 288 from Htc!
but as far as i know, the phone itself is great apart from the ram issue. it has more flash memory so that people dont complain about there not being enough space for apps..and blah blah blah..
Another T-Mo champ here. They should be here if they are worth the title. Sad though, I think most are not. They just wanted the Phone.
I have lived on here since my MDA... .... I am my stores Champion .
Pretty much the same here. I cant even count how many people I have recomended this site to.
Im one of the champions. We have a forum that we can only access from work computers. There have been references to this site. Thats how I found my way here. Ill be sure to soak up as much as I can.
Just downloaded the Sherpa app and it seems to work great.
Hey dru66, where did you get the sherpa download. can't seem to find it on my unit. Did it come with the las update, or did you actually have to install it?
Its on this site. Its just the apk file you need not the whole folder
Just got my white mytouch and I am all ready to root this sucker lol
I gt my black one 3 weeks ago but gave it to a co worker for his pre-order white one...
Any updates on rooting this phone?

Well i had small problems for a while but its starting to get anoying... i have the portection plan..i dont wanna change my vogue.. i wanna keep it .... ok here are the problems.. (on the order they started affected me haha)
1. when i touch the screen sometimes i can c the screen change a little form the side of the screen
2. Sometimes the battery justs falls off little bit from the phone and it turns off...
3. When i wanna correct something(when typing) .sometimes i wanna use the buttons that are on the bottom but recently they randomly stop working too
It also has scratches just little tho but its been a year since i got this phone... the same phone.i want a replacement! another new vogue =D
can anybody passs me the stock rom from sprint.
what should i do? any other problems i could tell them to get a new one.. lol
if i just show them the phone it looks ok....
Good luck... they probably won't replace it. Sprint sucks
I had a warranty on my phone, and then they randomly decided to take it off, then wouldn't give me a new one. Assholes.
i guess every sprint its diferent in diferent cities... here sprint rocks u could said... they sometimes trick u ... like when i wanted to take the tv away and they took my internet too ... i dint pay... just gotta be smart...
i want the stock rom to go to the sprint store..help
you wont get a new phone as sprint doesn't have any, ive tired. you will get a refurb or another model. be aware that you will have to pay the deductible.
not even try to fix it? am sure they do have some XD

im telling ya man, you will get a refurb, they don't carry new vogues anymore. htc doesn't even make them anymore. trust me as ive gone round and round with sprint about this just 3 weeks ago. your only option for a new one is ebay!
its goin to be a certified refurbished tho.. they arent that bad. i have gone through 3 vogues cause verizons white case likes to crack a lot.
aa that sucks..and if i get like a vogue because they dont have anymore... will i still have the 150 rebate thing that happens when its almost the end of your contract? i wanna wait for the touch diamond2 (if it comes out this year) my contract ends on december.. hopefully i can make it.. Dx

i dont think thats correct. htc still makes the vogues cuz bell has them, actually i purchased on for my friend that had a build date of a few months ago.
am gonna have to wait then .. until the diamond2 comes out.. if it ever does or get the brick-like with keyboard touchpro2 :[ which i really dont want to ...but its almost the diamond2... its the a a way i can take the keyboard apart! haha they should do it like that

if its through sprint it will more than likely be refurbished, its not cost effective for them to give out new ones with every warranty exchange.
Haha I work for a regional carrier, and when you file a claim for a vogue, you pay $100, and they send you the diamond. No joke.
then ill wait....ew the diamond..
I gave my sister my old mogul, and she had a text message thread that had 1k plus texts in it, and the phone locked up. She took it to the sprint store (I was asleep), and got them to order her a black berry When she came home I just wiped it, and it's all back to normal and working . Well she said teh guy at the sprint store said the Supersonic is coming out in July and to tell me (he knows I love phones). She said he didn't give an exact date though, just July.

Your mistake is thinking that the tech guy at the local Sprint store knows any more than any of us.
They don't.
Damn living in Tennessee, Wi-Max does me no good until they do a nation wide roll out. Even then, I probably wouldn't get it at home because I live so far back in the woods. I guess it has its perks though.
Don't look at me for accuracy of this website.

As for the HTC Legend, Sprint might launch a CDMA version of it as HTC Hero2.
Like Sprint’s first Hero, the Hero2 will have a modified design. Its release date is not known at the moment, but let’s hope all this will be confirmed soon.

Orly? Honestly, if they do get it and change the look, that might would put me onto the SuperSonic. Idk yet. A big screen is nice, but Idk if I REALLY need a screen that big lol.

i want to upgrade to the N1 when it hits sprint, i hope soon?
anyways im hearing the phone itself won't be in sprint stores and you cannot get it serviced at sprint either. you have to buy it online from google and send it in for repairs, is this true? if soo i smell a BIG fail coming. will the phone even be branded with a sprint logo at all?
Why is this posted in the HERO forum?
That sounds consistent with how the N1 has been sold so far, as far as I know.

Well that has been their trend so far with the other carriers, so it's very possible, but it's kind of to early to tell art this point
That's Google's new method--buy from google.com/phone and don't worry about anything else.
Who cares if it's Sprint branded? As long as it's considered an upgrade you'll get your nice price.

Well, the problem is that since you bought it from google.com, when you have problems and call Sprint for help, they can say "You have to call Google."
Of course, Google doesn't seem to have any publicly available phone numbers for you to call, so you're stuck with their worthless message boards...
Plus, if the actual hardware craps out, you can't walk into a Sprint store and get it replaced the same afternoon, you have to deal with shipping in two directions and be without a phone for a week....
Or at least that seems to be the major complaint about the N1 currently on the market....
just wait for the evo 4g, its got better specs then the nexus and a bigger screen,
No, just wait even more, pre 2011, dual core Snapdragon 1.5ghz phones running android will be out. If you buy the Evo, you'll wish you had waited lol

Hang on to your hero then. I still have every phone in my sig as a backup. I'm glad that google is doing SOMETHING to shake up the status quo a bit. Remember if you buy phones that are sold and supported by sprint, you'll have to wait on sprint for things like android 2.1, just like we're doing now. If google is able to get sprint (and other us carriers) to budge from their traditional phone-tied-to-carrier model, it'll just put us one step closer to breaking the wireless phone oligopoly.
Many years ago, you had to buy your land line telephones from your land line provider. They were sold and supported there, and they had very high costs. Then over time, that changed and people bought phones that weren't branded by their carrier. (or supported by them either, omg!). I'm sure it was a very scary time, but think about how ridiculous that sounds today.

if the devs are able to exploit and root the evo quickly it will be even more difficult for me.

T-Mobile doesn't even have 4G yet and their current 3G coverage although still growing is a fraction of that offerred by other national carriers.
I may be going to the Evo, we'll see. Sprint offered me a different model phone finally and I'm going to go for the evo. Third hero from them and their repair/refurb people can't seem to get it right... They said I have to pay sales tax on it though, which I found amazingly strange.
I will never leave the Hero forums, though, that was what got me into Android in the first place and I really wish I could still have a hero...
How did you swing that? Im on my 4th defective hero and they told me they will not replace them anymore. That they can only do so many replacements per year. I have insurance too. Oh yeah and if you do get an evo, it will probably ship with the new patch that prevents root. No work around yet either!

Correct spelling is traitor.
And I was pissed enough to be willing to pay the ETF on this line and close my other brand new line if they didn't take care of the issue by sending me a different model phone due to the circumstances. I'e been with them for a little over 3 years now and always been good with my bills and such so they try to keep me happy, and I really do appreciate that. The guy said I could pick the phone so I checked out online and decided to go with the Evo even though I'll probably never get 4g. It's the only other phone comparable to the Hero and that is made by HTC, since I like the HTC product.
Only thing is, though, is that he said they'd be back in stock in approx 2 weeks... well... I leave for vacation on the 21st and if they're back in in exactly 2 weeks, that puts it at the 20th. Plus 2 days for shipping and I'll have a phone sitting outside my garage for 2 weeks.
Can someone who works for Sprint, like a rep I'd get a hold of if I dialed *2, let me know what the expected arrival date is for more Evo's, please? I really need to stay on top of this so I can get it if they come in earlier. I can't have that phone sitting outside for 2 weeks. I'd owe you one if you could do this for me. PM me or whatever!

I'm pretty sure that after 3 or 4 replacements, you're allowed to switch the phone out for a new model... At least that's how it was for my sisters blackberry.

There is no "eta" (sorry) they've been available twice since the first time they sold out for approximately 3 hours both times before they sold out again. I work sprint retention.

Haha this is off-topic, but DirtyShroomz, what would I need to say to Sprint when I call them later today to get a free AirRave? The signal in my house SUCKS, and my battery dies super quickly because of that.

Idk what ASL means, but 1x won't matter since I can use WiFi at my house (where the airrave will be).
I was asking for my personal curiosity lol.

ASL - Account spending limit --- your bill usually shows if you are part of the program. You also get a $4.99 fee / month on your bill if your not on auto-pay and part of the ASL program.
You also need to be in an area where its avail. -- its not avail everywhere, http://sprint.com/airave click where is it avail. Put your zip in.
Also don't just ask for one. That's rude. Explain that you don't have signal in your house, your diggin your new phones but dropped calls in home are worth the ETFs to you and the high cost if you can't get your signal in your house, and then see if they will help you out.

The newest OTA was rooted yesterday, huzzah!
There is no way in hell you are going to get an evo from sprint and only pay sales tax. If you did you must be sucking someone off because they wanted to ship me another refurb hero, i told them to shove it. i talked to 6 people and spent 3hrs on the phone with them. one guy actually told me he could get me an evo but of course the dipshi* didn't note the account. i hate sprint with a passion. they told me in the end that they are giving evo's out to no one for free, if you want one you have to pay full price or wait until your upgrade and pay the difference. what a bunch of crap!
Oh well in a few months im sure i will be able to pick one up on craiglist for $150 or so.
FYI this would be my 4th replacement hero in 6 months.
I also didn't mean any offense towards the OP but im pissed right now! I even offered to pay the difference on the evo if they would push my upgrade status up.

It was a figure of speech man, as i said. By all means share your almighty knowledge on how you got sprint to do this for you!
So where is this Evo? It's been a few days now.... I highly doubt you got an Evo free my man.

Sprint.com is out of stock for them. Getting it replaced when they come back in stock, in about 10 days or so.
