Hey vogue forum - I miss you already

Just gotta say... sold my Vogue and got a G1... and I'm regretting it already. Not because of the device, no. Because the people over in the Android forums are rude, offensive and unhelpful. I miss the community over here in vogue-land.
Go back to the Vogue. You know you want to!
Haha, I kid, I kid... I'm thinking of getting the Magic when TMobile releases it. I'm tossed between that and a G1.
BTW, we're neighbors. I'm in Pasadena, TX.

I guess I should have been a bit nicer in my previous post anyway... just spending longer trying to root my g1 than I spent putting android on my vogue kinda got to me!
Pasadena, cool. I actually have family/spent a lot of years in NorthShore just across the channel from you. I know Pasadena *well*... I am only in Beaumont because that's where my work is, otherwise I would've gone back to the houston area. I do pda support for t-mobile in Port Arthur.
Btw, you realize the retail release date for Magic is TODAY right?

Haha... Man, my time got the best of me, I got very busy there for about a minute, and completely forgot to reply to this
Anyway, yeah, I got a G1 because I liked the fact that it has a physical keyboard. I still have my Vogue, though, and I'm actually using it right now because I kind of broke my G1 trying to root it, just like 2 hours ago. Gonna go up to T-Mobile when they open and say, "gee golly gosh, I turn my phone off every night so I'm not bothered by it, and well, this morning when I turned it on, it looked like THIS!" Hopefully that works, lol.
Edit: Nevermind, got it working.

Requesting G1 pre-installed alert sounds

Anyone have the original G1 notification sounds? I prefer them to the ones on the Hero. If so, please email them to me at [email protected].

O snaps, good job on graduating. I've been in meetings for the past almost 4 months so now I'm back at the office bored. But be heading off soon again to fort rucker for more meetings. I finally just updated my phone to that this weekend. Last time i did anything to my phone was bout 8 months ago round the time grid came down to my house.
I will be officially be joining you in a boring gov't job position. My job in my current gov't intern position will end this week and then I have to officially accept one of the 2 gov't offers I have either in VA or MD. Then we can be gainfully employed and bored at the same time!

THANK YOU SUPREMETEAM256! I really appreciate it!
I notice the NOTIFICATION sounds are not there - like for SMS etc. Anyone know where to find those?

Might want to try Frost 4.0 has alot of GB features while keeping a sense based rom. I tried CM 7 rc2 but had to many issues for me "4g, 720p, cell signal". Frost gives me the features i want without the issues I get from other roms.
I just don't wanna toast my EVO as I had a bad root on my old Hero and it was bricked going to wait for an ota which is hopefully this spring
cool, welcome to the club
any way to find a 4g coverage map of the spokane area? i go from 0 bars on one corner to full bars accross the street...

Tips for Increasing Battery life

I found this link in the thread for the new MikG ROM, I did all of this when I was trying out ShiftDeck and noticed a massive increase in battery life.
Just did all (most) of the steps on MikG and even though the ROM hasn't settled in because I just flashed the ROM last night, I am still noticing some increases in battery life .

Enjoy.
Thanks for the link - will try this once 2.3.3 is rooted.
I see you're from Toledo - I am too. Great to see another Toledoan on the board.

Appreciate the sentiment - my time in the Army is almost up (if the VA ever finishes up my ratings) - I've loved the past 8 years, but time to move on. Not sure if the forum will block the acronym that usually applies, but I'm a Tanker Without A Tank...haven't been inside an Abrams in several years unfortunately. Although, many of us Kilos are in the same boat. Are you prior service or currently in?

Nah,me personally m an air force brat ,brother was a green benie and his son is a foward combat air controller(just deployed for 5th time afgan.) I got military housing paint running thru my veins

Sprint losing money

Just got my Note 4 a couple of weeks ago, but this article has me a little worried. Looks like Sprint is hemorrhaging money.

Don't forget Japanese company Softbank bought Sprint. They have very deep pockets. They will turn this thing around.

I read a similar article at cnet yesterday. Remember they are just getting started. I believe that the Japanese company will get sprint turned around. The article I read stated they are back to gaining instead of losing customers. That's a good sign.

UPS... When I was 20 years old (1978)I went through the hiring process with them. I show up at the last pre hire meeting... I was told... Hey, your only 20? Well you can't drive for us but you can load packages. They screwed up.
Anyway, yes 2k people are going to lose a job let's hope those that do are the idiots that don't have a clue. Sprint still has a lot of them.

And they are making customers fuming with note 4 zagg issue. As of right now I will NOT recommend sprint. They have not changed their behavior from 10 years ago. Same b.s. that gave them a bad rap. I am really regretting moving to sprint.
I bought my phone outright. And am really considering selling it paying off phone and going elsewhere.
Or just keeping it and taking phone to another carrier.
I hope they go bankrupt. Maybe then they will listen to their customers.

Hopefully Sprint turns around. I don't like the idea of limited data with the other carriers. T-mobile dies look good... But it's not much cheaper than the plan I have now.

Ok, this is explaining why their customer care service is not working after 9:00 pm anymore...
It's 2014 and you can't use data and voice at the same time.

This isn't exactly true..... I'm sure Sprint probably doesn't want you to be able to do it but my daughter's both have sprint phones. EVO LTE and a Motorola Photon and believe it or not they both can use data and talk at the same time.
