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.

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.

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....

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.

Sprint is great, I was 6 months into a 2 year contract and had 1 upgrade for my Airave line. I used that on the HTC Evo. I got on the phone with Sprint and asked them about my upgrade status for the 5 phone lines and was told that it was due in Oct 2012. I asked for early upgrades, they gave it to me! I picked up 3 heros and thinking of 2 other phones to get.
GO SPRINT!!!!!
oh but my contract was renewed for another 2 years but its ok!
Yeeaaa I have a hard time believing this one. First, airave upgrades dont exist. Second, upgrades are every 22 months besides your premier line (if you have a plan that gives you premier status) meaning by what you wrote 4 of your lines were upgraded on Dec 2010 and I don't think we are there yet
gg what do I have to gain by lying? Oh and I meant Oct 2011 hehe.
And btw Airave upgrades do exist. It might not be necessarily upgrading the Airave unit but there is still an upgrade credit. I used that to get my Evo and the Sprint rep simply swapped it out to my true phone line.

Actually its fully legit to do it. We do it at best buy constantly. I upgraded my sisters line with her airave and Im using my airave upgrade for the next android. All your doing is using the airaves upgrade and not activating it and swapping it to your main line. This puts your airave on a 2 year contract.
Nobody gets fired, its a screw up in sprints system that theyre too lazy to fix.

Best part...one of your coworkers told me how and what to do. Before that "fool" opened his mouth we refused to do it. Then that "fool" told us it was completely ok to do and until you guys changed the system it wouldnt be an issue.
Next time I'd refrain on pointing fingers at us "fools" before checking what your "fools" are doing. Ive had far more f-ups from Sprint reps like yourself than I have from Best Buy account reps. Your the "fools" who had to halt the samsung moment cl14 upgrades because your techs couldnt figure out how to run the file. We were loading them the minute they hit the site.
Btw, in regards to your "Airave upgrades dont exist"
Yea... The system shows it, you can't use it and yes best buy/radioshack **** up all accounts from opening lines when customers were wanting to upgrade to using airave lines as upgrades. The airave, though it is now seen in the system as a line can not be used as a line to upgrade. Also please stop telling customers activation is free and tell them if they switch the phone to another line within 30 days they lose the rebate.
But of course one retard opens his mouth, the rest follow. If I show u a glitch in the system to give free evos will u use it too? Cause I know one. Just cause u can do something doesnt mean its allowed and then retention has to fix all ur **** ups. No update was evrr halted either, find a new source.
We have 6 lines and they all got upgraded 5 months ago at the same time, last night 3 of them could be upgraded so we upgraded 2 of them to the EVO for $199
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I think it's safe to say we can ALL forget about upgrading a Hero to an Epic4g even a single day before October 10, and the only way we can even fantasize about an Evo a couple of weeks early is if Sprint ordered a staggeringly HUGE quantity of them only to have demand for it completely collapse once the Epic4g arrives. I really don't see that happening, either.(*)
(*)In fact, I personally think that's why there's an Evo shortage right now. Sprint knows demand for the Evo is at least partly driven by the fact that right now, it's their ONLY 4G android phone. They almost certainly have an agreement with HTC to promote the Evo exclusively for some minimum number of days, shortage or not. Thus, they're being extremely conservative about replenishing their Evo inventory only to levels they know can be sustained by ongoing new sales once the Epic4g is out as well. They don't want to end up in a situation where stores have a mountain of Evos piled floor to ceiling and a 6-week backlog for Epic4g.
From a PR standpoint, Sprint's ideal scenario would be to have every Sprint store be sold out of one or the other for at least a couple of days each week... but have enough in stock at SOME Sprint store within 50 miles to ensure that anyone (with a car) who walks through the door and is determined to have one *today* can go to bed happy that night, but will also tell everyone that they're so popular, they're sold out *almost* (but not quite) everywhere.
If you have any line that is elgib. for an upgrade and you upgrade on that line and switch it to your line then you lose your rebate.
If you were going to do this then you would have to wait until the rebate has been processed and then switch the lines so...
I called Sprint yesterday and asked about the new upgrade policy and told the guy I got my Evo in August. I asked if I would still be eligible to upgrade to the 3d in august after the policy change. To my surprise he said yes. I knew that I wasn't supposed to after the policy changes so I asked him to make a note on my account that he said I would get the upgrade this year and the policy change will not affect me until my next upgrade is due. He did it ( at least he said he did). So since I have this noted on my account do you think Sprint will go against his word and say that I can't get my upgrade. I think they are going to just have to eat it and give me the phone at new contract price. I hope I am right. I would like to hear everyones opinion ( especially sprint employees) . If they do not honor this could I just cancel my contract and pay my $120 etf and sign a new contract to get it at the discounted price? Thanks.
Just call again and see if they can locate that note. Make sure they gibe you the interaction number. If the note is present then they have to honor it

Speaking from experience, I HIGHLY doubt he actually created the note. 99% of the time they will just tell you that to get you off the phone. For future things like this, ALWAYS get it in writing. Tell them to email it to you, and DONT hang up until you get the email. I bet you 20 bucks, that if you call back, and rep wont be able to find this note.
Besides it doesn't make one bit of difference what that guy writes in his notes. Just because he typed it in doesn't mean it HAS to happen. I actually think this post is kind of stupid but I guess there will be a lot of these. You sound like a teenager. You are either eligible or you aren't. They aren't going to change it the day before the phone comes out just to screw you over.
A good way to do that is via the live chat. After the session ends, you get a transcript of your typed conversation, which includes the time, date, and everything both you typed. I have a copy of my last chat with them I'm saving, just in case. But I also agree with zone23, I don't know if they'll actually do whatever they said they would, they might tell you to go pound sand.

Hope, definitely not a teenager, I wish I still was. Im just somebody that doesn't care too much for being screwed over. I have given sprint my money on time every month for a year (in August) even though I use less than 500 minutes, 700 text, and 1Gb of data per month. I think with the money they make off me the least they can do is hold to their word and give me my upgrade.
Also as I had seen others mention he said that I would be eligible for the full $150 upgrade, not the $75 half upgrade.
I know that when I was working for [email protected] CS, if you noted something and told the customer they would get it, even if it was the wring thing to do. If they deny you if there is actually a note, ask to talk to a super visor, I can't even count how many times I've waived their upgrade due to similar situations like this.
Hopefully that was some useful input...

Actually, if it's notated it must be honored, period. If he notated he would get his upgrade in August, Sprint will honor it, unless it's some crazy off the wall impossible thing like "customer will get credit of 10,000 (where the comma should have been a period and it should have read 100.00)

So you have been a customer less than a year, and your complaining? Try being a customer for 8.5 years, and being told that means nothing...

Oh yeah I definitely know what you mean. I had a situation alot like that with Directtv. Now I have dish network and will never look back. I would be pissed. If I were you I would try doing what I did and call before April 1st and have them note it if they say you can get the upgrade. Worse case scenario is you wont get it and you will just be in the same boat as if you didn't call. Good luck. Hope you can get it worked out.
I just seen it on Sprint's Website....
Wouldn't make much sense to charge $199 for both the Evo 3d and OG EVo
Agreed...
I know 2 people that were waiting for it to drop so they could upgrade...
Got mine last week @ best buy for 100
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Didn't know about Best Buy for $100 until today.
My wife got hers last week for $199, wouldn't you know, they lowered the price. I just got off the phone with Sprint and they credited my account the $50.
Of course, if they hadn't, I would have had her return it as "I didn't like it" under Sprints 30 Day guarantee and then gone to Best Buy. She doesn't need 3D and its easier to maintain 2 identical phones.
Best Buy's website has it at $49.99 when I just checked. My NS4G is going back along with the $100 going back in my wallet. I'm within my initial 30 days and this is my second NS4G and the radio still sucks. I didn't want to go with a yr old phone, but it performs great and just got the official GB update so it's still well supported by HTC and Sprint. White Evo 4G will be in my pocket tomorrow.
Saw it at sams today for $99.00

LMAO..actually had to pause...go back..and double check my groggy eyes myself!
Just called to confirm (since my son wants a phone) and from what they said on the phone...I can add another EVO to my plan for the $50 bones as well. Obviously an additional $20/line fee and the GOT A HAVE IT $10 ale cart crap fee applies, but better than any other smart phone out there for the price! Going to Breast Buy tomorrow!
3D must be on the trucks to offload soon eh?

Lol I bet he will love the new phone. I was using a crappy clam shell bought this and never will go back. Lmao ya another good reason no more using dads phone.
Done Done and Done....
Went by the local BB this morning and picked one up for him @ $50 was in and out within 15 minutes. Told the guy..."No need to take any more of your time...I'll activate it myself". There were a couple phones having the activation and UPDATE done..
Activated and now rooted..good times.
Went to Sprint to check on my replacement of the replacement EVO (BAD screen) they replaced last Friday..no go and phone calls to customer service etc have yet to get me a NIB phone..will deal with that. Guess I was a little frustrated..on the way out I saw three couples looking at the EVO and proceeded to exclaim..."Might want to go across the street to BB and get yours for $50 instead". Probably should have just kept quiet, but felt better as two of the three followed me out the store.
Sweet how did u get it for fifty did u have to motor boat
Sprint notified me via letter today that I would no longer have service after the 5th of July. I moved out of Sprint's service area around September of last year and knew this was coming eventually. I am actually shocked it took so long .
As sad as I am to leave Sprint and my Evo; I must move forward!
That being said, what phones are on the horizon? I will probably switch to Verizon because they still have unlimited data. I'm not adverse to prepaid as those services have come a long way in the last few years.
I am liking the Thunderbolt, as it is the most similar to our Evos.
cool story bro...
joking aside, sorry to see you leave. gl with whatever you choose to go with

Nope and nope, bummer really. Not a lot of choices here in Arkansas, especially in a smaller town. I remember when it was just Alltel and $0.25 a minute lol.
When are dual core phones going to explode? There doesn't seem to be many on the market. I want something with some serious XDA support of course. There is no way I could run a stock Android phone anymore .

You could use it on virgin mobile, but they're a sprint mvno & you'd be using the latest sprint prl. And if sprint service didn't work for you before, guess it won't now.

so when Sprint tells u... " u gotta go"
can u ever become a sprint customer again? and does ur phone get a bad esn?
Your ESN is only bad if it is report lost/stolen, or you did not pay your bill.

ok... and when can u become a sprint customer again?
Of all the new phones coming out, I'm just wondering why you would go with the thunderbolt?
Wow... $250?.. really? nearly mint EVO's in my area are going for $150. something like that would be asking for a trade of a blackberry or HTC Magic. lol
ok, not to get off topic, but in other areas are people on craigslist asking for iPhone 3GS or 4's for "every better phone ever"?
it seems like whenever I go on, I see someone going "I'll trade my stupid, dumb EVO 4G for an iPhone 3GS"
and I'm dumbfounded and almost willing to trade in my iphone that has sat here for a YEAR in for another EVO...because I love this phone so much. lol

Harsh guys. You would notice if you read the whole thing it says OBO. I don't expect to get that much, I just had to put a price in. Thanks for taking to time to search Craigslist for the listing though!
Just got off the phone with Sprint and it turns out they are only canceling the line that has the most roaming usage on it which isn't my Evo (we have three lines)
You're busting my balls sprint!

I haven't really heard of any dual core on Verizon except for the droid bionic which probably will have a locked bootloader so it might get rooted or might not. At&t should have Galaxy S2 by then or the HTC Sensation on T Mobile hoping that its shipped with a unlocked bootloader.
