evo 4g camera replacement - EVO 4G General

Just a note to any xda members that are thinking of changing out you evo camera for any reason. You may want to think twice. Sprint has just announced internally that htc will be shipping out evo's with a second source camera module to keep up with sprint's demand for the phones over the holiday season. Placing an imcompatible camera module into a device can have negative affects resulting in damage to your precious ev. Just a heads up

internal Sprint email...i'm a SM for Sprint

my source was my internal email i recieved in my inbox this morning telling me to stop harvesting and repairing evo cameras effective immediately

Whatever you do don't post, copy/paste that internal email. You can get fired and I'm pretty sure they have Sprint Asset Protection folks patrolling forums.

[APP] Chase Banking

Hi XDA,
For the EVO owners who have a Chase bank account, the new Android app has finally come out in the market. This was the one thing I missed when coming from iOS. Now that it's finally here I thought it would be appropriate to share worth the community. You cam find it by searching the market for "Chase".

I think it's been out for almost 2 months now. The app is ok but I still use Pageonce for all my tracking. The plus would be depositing checks through your phone.
Interesting....i did not know it was out for so long. I would've used it much sooner.
I found out by heading into Chase to deposit some checks and my clerk told me about it.
The Android market is getting better every day.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I've been using it and even deposited a couple checks and works great.
I emailed them this summer and asked them if they would come out with an android app, and they said no!
Downloading now..

It was probably some outsourced company in ***** who emailed you back. I find it's always easier to just ask on a forum because members, for the most part, tend to know more about these kind of things.

I wish I would have known earlier. But it is great for depositing checks, to be sure. Saves a lot of hassle, leaving a job to go to the bank to deposit a client check, I just do it when they aren't looking lol

I need more info on it. Android Central didn't say much. It's a loyalty program so do you have to be with sprint for a certain amount of time? Pay a certain amount (like premeire) have certain types of phones (smartphones? feature phones?)? So many questions and it said it started today x.x
I seen somewhere that's only for sprint employees.

As a Sprint employee, I say this makes me giddy. I don't know why Sprint didn't do this sooner. How can you sell the latest phones if you're rocking a handset from 2 years ago?
Well, time to apply for a job at Sprint.

How to get into a nexus s 4g for free!

I got my epic before the nexus s 4g came out so I just looked up here one day and bam. There of was perfect directions on how to root and do everything. Everyone has been so helpful especially the ACS team. If you wanna know how to get a free nexus through sprint pm me and ill tell ya how I did it. PS. Hope you get gingerbread soon.
All I can say is thanx this workefd in like 15 mins
Imma try tonite. When y'all called, did you mention the nexus by name, or just tiptoe around until they offered it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
All I did was I called Sprint *****ed about the epic and said that I wanna get on a new phone the lady said that's OK and she gave me a few to choose from and the nexus s 4g was one. I am using it right now rooted and all ****s amazing.
That's what I did sorry I can't respond to all to everyone I did not exspect to get over 200 inbox messages. Hahahaha. I did have 3 people that it worked for already

Well I just tried and they told me I have to go to repair center to diagnose the phone. Now I'm not sure if I wanna go there because that means I'll have to put my phone back to stock but if this really works I'll definetely do it.

OOOoooo, sounds shady and unethical.
Craigslist, (still shady but more ethical ) , ftw
Here's the Secret,
1. Sign up for TEP
2. Use the phone for two calls
3. Brick your phone on purpose by erasing the bootloader
4. send it in for TEP and request a Nexus S

He wants the attention
Just got shot down. Said I had I power button issue and ****ty service. They said I needed to have my epic replaced 3 times before I wo9uld qualify for a nexus. I'm pretty slick. I've gotten replacements for nothing before, and I didn't mention the nexus until she did. Instead, she made me a service ticket and told me to take it to a corperate service center, since I told her I had been told to call the hotline by a 3rd party store.
I guess ill try again another day.

DEC Number

So I found a guy that will swap me a brand new Nexus S 4G for my Epic.
Any harm in providing him the DEC?
Also, is there anything in particular I should look for on his Nexus? I have never done a swap like this before.

Hmmmm, why did he say that he wanted it?
EDIT: Ohhhh I'm an idiot. I believe he wants to check your ESN.
And the most important of all else is his ESN clean? If it isn't you're in trouble.
Yeah, he did mention that he wanted to check the ESN. How do I check his?
If you can, preform the swap at a sprint store to check the ESN. His ESN.

Before anything else, AC is right, you should meet up at a Sprint door with the guy to validate everything. But here is a site to check.

So what I have also learned today is that Sprint will check the ESN for you via the customer service line. Just call and give it to them.
Sure they can check it over the phone, but like others have said it is best to perform any purchases/trades at a physical Sprint store location. That way they can update the ESN right there.
I've heard of people purchasing a cell phone from CL and by the time they get home the "seller" claims to have lost it so they end up with a phone with a Bad ESN- in fact someone here on XDA had that happen to them.
Yeah, I ended up not doing it. Too many things that didn't click for me so I backed off. Not worth screwing myself over.

I recommend the in store option for this reason. Most of the reps at my store would be happy to do it.

You can do it right on the spot just call sprint rep and ask to check that number for you if legit no need to go home first.

Google Pulls Support For CDMA Devices

Yea, that's bad. Basically it boils down to this scenario:
Google: Sure you can have ICS on ____ device
CDMA carrier Sprint/Verizon: Well, we'd like over our skin on ICS
Google: We'd like to keep it stock Google
Carriers: We want the skin...
Google: No [and cue that article]
Says its based on the software to make it 'fully functional' Because CDMA device needs carrier binaries to make them work.
There is no way in hell US carriers will open up their binary drivers. This just hurts users on Verizon/Sprint. Does this mean the next Nexus will be GSM only?

Who said it was Sprint only? It ranges to all CDMA made phones not one specific CDMA carrier.
My understanding is that this is Google only.
It has to do with the trying to keep Android compliant with the GPL, and the companies making the CDMA radios are making it difficult so Google pulled out. It doesn't mean no more Android phones on Sprint or Verizon (that would be a bit silly) but it does mean no more Nexus phones on CDMA. It could also mean Motorola will be pulling out of the CDMA market as well.
Then again, this could all be a plan by Google to force the companies to release the drivers. It wouldn't be the first time Google has played hardball with companies. If Google and Motorola both leave, this puts pressure on Sprint and Verizon to push the manufacturers to release the drivers as it leaves them at a severe disadvantage compared to GSM carriers. It's good in a way, but could have some bad consequences down the road if it backfires.
It's nothing to really worry about guys if i can find the article I'll post it but Google came back and clarified why they did it exactly and it was to do with how CDMA phones have certain files stored for them and it caused an issue with compiling from AOSP and all. They still are pushing straight updates to cdma nexus phones as usual too.
