LOL at sprint store - EVO 4G General

Thought some people here can use a laugh. My girl wanted to bring her epic to the sprint store due to some issues she has had, mainly battery.
We were greated by a woman who had clearly no idea what she was talking about. My girl had ADW launcher installed as her home.
The lady told her the reason for her rapid battery drain was due to that ( from 100% to 50% in three hours of no use.)
I told her in "about phone" then in battery you can clearly see that it used 3% of her battery since the phone was turned on which has been awhile.
Her reply was that app your showing me is unofficial and was downloaded form the market and infact the battery percentage I was showing her also is screwing up her phone.
Also the woman also stated anything off the market is unsupported and should be installed on the phone.
Anyone want to go it in action she is at the Oxford Valley mall in fairless hills PA. Short and blonde hair

your stupid! get a life....
i hope they marked her phone as damaged beyond repair!

I don't understand how some of our employees make it past training....

Sounds like my boss at the Sprint store I work at in Leola... According to her you need to turn Gmail off any type of sync time frame at all because even if you have it set to only check every 8 hours it still checks ever .5 seconds and kills your battery in 3 hours. Funny my EVO is set to auto retrieve at all times, I get a day and a half battery regularly...

Sad thing is as a job hunter, i apply at these places and never get a call back from the interview despite these dimwitted folks.
I usually kill time at the SPCS store on 42nd and 6th before i dip into the subway and it takes a lot for me not to interject most times (i find it rude) when i hear some of them explaining stuff to customers that make little to no sense.
I also notice the ones in the mall have mostly female eye-candy staff manning the front. Me i look like Shrek, maybe that's why i never make the cut.

If you know the difference between "your" and "you're", you are automatically an internet-genius.

I know what you're talking about. I really wanted a job at the local Sprint store about a year ago. I applied for every open position and hounded the store manager and never got a call. Whole store is staffed with females. =/

Yeah, well... When you go months not hearing anything and are qualified for an opening they have posted on their window, of course you're going to inquire. Just saying.
Chances are they didn't like me because I was overqualified. I make way more money now, so I don't care.
I still make this face whenever I go in that store:

Store Reps
This is not so unexpected. The good news for us is, we go into a situation like this knowing way more than the Store rep in most cases, suggestion is, simply use this to your advantage...when possible. I would assume these guys get little to no training to begin with.

Overclock

What is overclock?
Wikipedia said:
Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. Some purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher clock rates, or overclock high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond the specified values. Others overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements, rather than purchasing new hardware.[1]

It's when you make your phones clock run faster effectively turning your phone into a time machine, but it's a big responsibility with some serious risks.
Beware the butterfly effect.
I would have added an actual explanation but danknee covered that.

No no....there was no inside joke. It just seemed like the kinda of thing that a geeky stoner with a hero would do, if he has the opportunity to travel back to last week.
And it seemed funny to me to warn folks away from doing this. There. Are you happy? You forced me to explain the humor, and now it will never grow up to be a real joke.

got a free trackball today

i was pretty happy when i showed up at a corporate store today to ask about my FILTHYYYYYY trackball (it was yellow, ew) and pay my bill; and they replaced it with a nice white shining orb like right out the box! and even better, i have no insurance or ANYTHING, they did it free of charge and in less than ten minutes. yay!
question though. so my phone is shut off for the next few hours...forgot to pay my bill, and calls and sms arent working. they said it would take 2-4 hours for my to get service back, anyone ever have something similar happen? question is, how long did it take for you to get your service back?
and now something strange. when i realized my service was off, i found that i still have data. i am able to text through gv, browse, market, the whole nine yards. is this normal? lol!
thanks guys :-D
yeah, normal. For some reason they leave data on. Service came back near immediately for me though.
Yea they say 2-4 hours just in case it really does take that long. Normally its pretty instant, like 10-15mins.

I don't know, but I think there is something called Gizmo5 that can be setup so that you can effectively eliminate the need for a voice plan, since all your calls are routed through data.

i know this sounds stupid, but take your battery out and put it back in. Our clients sometimes ask us to disconnect lines they shouldnt and when we turn them back on the ones that dont go through immediately typically do once we do the battery trick.

i just talked to sprint. they said they were waiting for the payment to be posted, which is JUUUST was...they said to turn off for 1 minute, reboot, and service should be restored.
cross your fingers, rebooting now!!
service is back! yay!
also, soemthing wierd about my trackball...the little round chrome part that usually supports it was replaced with a black rubber one. is this standard for new trackball and trackball housing?
its just, i liked the chrome :-( now it akward looking with the black surrounding the tb :-(
Yes that is normal..
Because as a service tech,
A) The Hero is on the Do Not Touch List.. So it is up to the experience of the tech to decide if he really wants to risk taking the phone apart, because if it breaks, he's gonna be liable for it..
B) The Hero is on the Do Not Touch List.. So you have to buy 3rd party parts to do those repairs.. Sprint will not send parts for a phone you are not allowed to repair, so you have to buy from vendors and those parts are normally different in quality.

Lucky, they never want to touch my phone. They said if they could help me they would but they don't have the parts.
Also, i couldn't see my hero with a black rubber thing around my tb.. It would bug me.

Sure there's plenty more games that do the same. I'm not a gamer myself, and my oldest has my old SGS for her games, but the kiddy-game market is growing. Apologies for my 11-post jibe, it was unnecessary.

Well, let's see... on three occasions that I fornicated with my wife, three offspring came out nine months later. I was there during all three of said occasions, and delivered the middle offspring (the gamer) myself.
So pretty sure, yes.
Bumping my own thread, I'm a bad man.
Your replies were very witty, and I laughed incessantly.
However, I'm right and you're all wrong. All these lavasoft games - Restaurant/Farm/Zoo Story really do drain battery quickly. A combo of wifi, bright colours and eager progeny is hardly conducive to prolonged battery life. They certainly drain it quicker than my boy's other games (e.g., Cut The Rope, Angry Birds).
And as a riposte to the slackjawed troglodyte quoted below:

If I would have kids, I wouldn't want them to surf the Internet alone. There's too much stuff out there inappropriate for children.
My kids would get an old phone, which you can only use for talking and sending text messages and for gaming a Nintendo DS.
Think about this instead of battery live! The cheapest solution isn't always the best

I don't let them surf the net alone, under any circumstances. My middle kid is 7, and he's not getting a mobile before he's 10 (there's 6 year olds where I live tooled up with mobiles, which is ridiculous).
Any online games he plays are on my phone, always with me present, and no invites/social interaction without me vetting first. He has a DS and a Wii, and I don't allow online play with them.

I do, but the app wasn't installed, so it doesn't work :'(
And I tried to install plan b, I read lifehackers post on it awhile ago, but these people were expert thieves, they changed the service to another phone, and tried to make a purchase with it almost immediatly. Luckily, the charge was canceled and I ended service for the phone, then they sent me the new phone I'm currently using.
I would have loved it to work, but alas, sad. My only concern now is if there is a way to deauthorize that phone from my google account. Other than that, as soon as I get around to rooting this thing, I'll be fine.

I broke my screen digitizer a few weeks ago. Luckily I was able to buy one off ebay and replace it myself. The only thing that I did wrong was I didn't really reglue it down to the frame, so dust and dirt has been getting underneath the screen (which you can see behind bright backgrounds). BTW, if anyone breaks theirs, here's a great video on how to take apart the whole phone.

Hey Vicodan - not satisfied with the standard benchmark tests you've been subjecting the phone to! Let the physical testing of the phone begin!!! - what's next - maybe leaving it next to the stove - hey - just kidding man- luckily you're ok- can really get messed up in a fall

LOLOLOL Well played. Thanks man.
Yeah I scraped my hand and my knee other than that I'm okay thanks to my shifty. <3
lol.. remember this thread? HTC got a kick out of it.

WTF ATT!!

So I got my phone today and low and behold I have some serious (at least to me) blemishes and scratches on the back. Some pics below. I know they may not seem too bad but come on, this is a brand new phone, and unexceptable if you ask me. So I actually go to my nearby ATT store to see if they have stock already so they can swap it out and they don't have any yet. You could see it in the eyes of the workers that they hadn't seen one yet. Borderline oogling over it.
Anyways, they say call ATT and they'll send me another. I call and low and behold they CAN send me a replacement (not overnight mind you, I'd have to pay for that), but as I had to remind them, there is a backorder for it so they couldn't tell me when I'd get it. All this time I wouldn't be able to activate the phone. I say screw it, I'll keep it but you gotta give me something here. All they can do open a customer credit report and see if it goes through. Suffice it to say.....I'm pissed.

Yeah this is a total case of WTF. Must have happened in the flashing process when they added all their carrier crap.
Wow. Was it shipped in bag full of rocks?
Thats how mine is from GPlay! Not as bad as yours but the same type of marks.... Seems like it was slid around and there was a bunch of dust/debris in the box on the phone.. I called them up right after I saw and they were gonna set me up with a new replacement but there is a problem with there system with that apparently...:roll eyes: So I have to wait for them to fix that then get in contact with me to set up the replacement... Im using this one in a case in the mean time but it definitely shouldn't fly to get one that looks this way!
Looks like someone was skate boarding on it before shipping. Lol I would return it. There is no fu#king way I pay over $700 for a screwed up phone.
Probably happened while they were tattooing that sweetass globe on the bottom. Well worth the sacrifice, IMO.

Hahaha this comment had me rollin as well. Sorry about your phone OP. Hopefully they give you some type of credit or something.
That valiant phone fought tooth and nail and tried to resist being tramp stamped. In the end the handset torturers won

How is that AT&T's fault? Lol.
"A Lenovo company..."
I would try blast them Motorola and ATT on social media. No way you fork over that much cash money for A defectove unit. I also suggest you QC the camera carefully. It may have got the lense.
Motorola QC issue.
I was at my tmobile store when they unboxed their demo unit and it had the same nonsense. We considered that maybe they just purposely sent the ****ty ones to stores for demo purposes. Hope this is not a widespread issue
That's what you get for purchasing a phone from the devil.

They would have touched it last when flashing their splash screenand doing the logo on the back. But a previous commenter said his gplay device was the same. I would look at how the phone fits in the retail packaging. Does it have room to move around at all, is what i would be looking at.

I think it has some room to move because there doesn't seem to be anything keeping it in place or anything protective it has to sit on. Its just sitting on indent of the phone with the documentation. I think it happened during shipping possibly especially if it was man handled it could bounce around and scuff up but idk? i don't see how sliding on cardboard could cause marks like that.
Im also still waiting on Gplay to reply and fix there system to get me a new replacement...
Did you have any issues getting AT&T to initiate the return? This is ridiculous, mine has this too.

AT&T wouldn't have done it themselves, just semantically speaking.
They would have made a deal with the OEM (Motorola) to make the modifications on their behalf before packaging.
Not defending AT&T or anything, of course.
