i will later today.
Haha, that explains it. I knew I had posted a couple responses on here recently, but when I went to look for them to see if they had been replied to, I was like, "What the...? I know I answered this post here..."
Repost:
Here is what happened to me today. This is part of the letter i wrote sprint and my local news station. They will be picking this story up and broadcasting/interviewing me tomorrow. I better get something out of this and this guy is majorly screwed now.
"Here is the info that was requested about my ordeal today. I was on craigslist browsing for a new phone when i came across a brand new palm pixi for sale. I texted the person with my offer. He or she texted me back and counter offered. They then told me my personal info such as my name/address and phone i had. I asked how he knew my info and they said they worked for sprint. The issue is any sprint employee cannot access your info with out my name and pin code which i did not provide. I got upset and called sprint. I spoke to heather a customer service agent . She assured me this was fraud and could plainly see my account was accessed/bypassed by a sprint employee at 3pm today. After i gave her the persons phone number she assured me this would be handled by the fraud department/corporate and that it would be easy to track this person down.
She then reset my account passwords and pin number and transferred me to fraud. Well they are closed on the weekends so i called sprint back. I talked to a supervisor "Deborah" this time and she agreed that this was fraud but that she could not help me until i spoke to the fraud department on monday. She also said this will be dealt with swiftly and promptly as no one can access your account without approval. What scares me is the fact that this person knows my personal info, i have kids here and credit card info on the sprint account.. How many other people has he/she done this too? Is all the phones he/she sell online stolen items? Im almost ready to close my sprint account im so irate right now. I think this person should be fired/prosecuted and i should be compensated in some form. I plan on calling the better business Bureau as well next week."
Im hoping sprint really keeps their word and this goes pretty far because if customers find out about this your going to have alot of pissed off people.
This is really a WTF moment for me and my wife, the douche continues to text me not knowing he is about to get screwed royally. Im soo pissed i may cancel my account since apparently this ass doesn't need a pin to access our info.
update: i decided to not do the news interview, not worth it IMO. but i talked to the fraud/corporate security dept today and the guy is being terminated and being prosecuted for breaking protocol. sprint called it a corporate breach of security. my account has been locked until the proceedings happen and sprint will be calling me soon to ask me what they can do to keep me as a customer.
im either asking to be let out of contract and have them pay my last bill or...
asking for two new phones for me and my wife for free.
Daaaaamm like you said a big WTF, you got to be careful change all credit card info, phone number,etc
And also you got sprint in your hands so, you're are going to get lots of things from them LOL
It's good to see they took care of it quickly and didn't beat around the bush.

yeah i guess, my wife wants to go to verizon, im not sure, the prices are high there. BUT either way i win because ill get money out of it selling her blackberry and my hero.
im trying to decide on what phones to get. for my wife it will be a palm pixi, she wants a keyboard and hates android for some reason.
for me it will be a evo, epic or a new palm pre, not sure yet?

sprint corporate is making a very big deal out of this from i was told. im glad to know they take this stuff seriously. im not liking the fact my account is locked but they told me it's for security reasons.
Hey guys new here, great site by the way, so I cancelled my contract early with verizon after having my fascinate for only two weeks. With sprint now. Wondering am I able to unlock my fascinate and use it on sprint if the phone is not in service? Thanks for any help
It's the same answer for every question like this. You can't get a Sprint phone on VZW's network or the other way around. They won't do it for you and the only way to get it to work is illegal.
You actually can. Its just very very very very very very difficult. It involves knowing dan Hesse. Sprint CEO. And a blow j. In all seriousness not likely possible. Go for the epic.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
OK cool, thanks man, I was real sceptical when I read a thread on here about unlocking and using the fascinate on any carrier, but if the carriers own the air waves and they won't connect it to there network then its obviously not even possible.
There is even a website selling codes for the fascinate to work on any network, what a rip off
So now, since I ended my contract early is there any way for anyone to use this phone if I sell it or is it a $150 paper weight now?
Idk bout the epic but I gift the evo, seems to be alot better on video but display isn't nearly as vibrant as the fascinate,all well.

you can sell it on ebay as a 'bad ESN Galaxy S samsung fascinate'.. lots of people will be interested. I'm sure you'll make good money on it. It will sell for a high dollar and fast. seriously.
If u cancelled properly it wont be a bad ESN
why everyone on this threat speak negative?? yes you can switch the samsung fascinate to sprint and very easy if you have CW.
to switch to sprint is easy but the hard part is getting the internet and pics to work

So last wednesday I decided to make my voice heard and I wrote VZW an angry email. I am not going to type out the whole thing but basically it said that i am tired of their horrible customer service and horrible customer support. I also went on to state that everytimeI ask a rep either on the phone or in the store as to when we are going to get Froyo the answer with out fail is always very soon or in a couple of weeks.
I recieved a call on Friday afternoon. I missed the call but the rep left a Voice mail. It states and I quote " Hey Joshua, My name is Tammy and I am with Verizon Wireless's internet response team. I recieved your email about your concern for the Samsung Fascinate. So some good news is that we did get approval for the 2.2 froyo to be updated. So it is going to be updated very soon, escentially probably within the next 2 weeks, but I mean it is just waiting for google to push it through. So whenever google is ready to send it over we will be sending it out to our customers. So if you have any questions feel free to contact us at 1-800-922-0204. Have a good Day Bye"
I did call back immediately and spoke to a normal customer service Rep who had no idea what was going on with the update. He kept basically putting the blame on Google and Samsung. He asked me if I had called them to see why we have not got the update yet. I told him know it is Verizon's responsibilty, as that is who I pay my money to every month. By the end of the call there was nothing really resolved with that rep, with the exception of him asking if I would consider a replcaememnt to a different phone that has Froyo and he suggested the Droid X ( which he said was a step down ) or the Thunderbolt . Which i of course said i would be interested in the thunderbolt. I am also supposed to get a call back today from the Rep who answered my email.
So I guess as usual take it with a grain of salt. I will keep you guys updated with what happens with this.
I would have asked how it's Google's fault when they didn't manufacture the phone, or send it out for a manufacturing contract to be made for them (ie Nexus device). After that, I would ask how it is Samsung's fault when they just released the source code for the Froyo update last week, showing that Samsung has finished their part of the upgrade.
It's funny because I called last week following up on an email I sent 2 weeks ago and I'm still getting the run around. They offerred me a droid x or droid 2 but i don't want to settle at this point if there are new phones available. I'm now waiting for a supervisor to call me back.

I did ask why it is Google and Samsung's Fault. The rep responded with the make the os and build the harware we just sell the phone. I said it is Verizons responsibility to make sure all of their phones are up to date as possible. I also said that if it is Google or Sammy's fault, then why is it that almost every other galaxy released has got the update? The rep replied with saying that I was wrong and that only a few galaxys have gotten the update.

To be honest, asthetically I like the fascinate but not having froyo after waiting all this time has turned me off. I've used some rom's available on the forums but I feel like I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get an update that should have been out months ago.
thats how i ended up with my fascinate. my dad got tired of not having froyo, so he gave the option for me to inherit his fascinate or keep my OG droid.
As a VZW Tech rep. The care reps know less than me and we have absolutely no resources/explanation on why some devices get updates and some don't.
The problem is when you have 3 huge companies and their crack legal departments putting conditions on everything. Companies can't agree to play golf together without a 300 page legal agreement.

So no return call from VZW at all yesterday. If I dont recieve a call from them by 7pm. I am calling and it will be an escalated call, I guarantee it.
If you're gonna get a "Froyo Replacement", maybe you can get a Droid Charge out of the deal Yay SuperAMOLED+

Oh good call on that, didnt even think about that phone as a possibility
Thats strange because I wanted to get a Thunderbolt for a replacement and they said you can only get a replacement thunderbolt if you have a defective thunderbolt. The Incredible 2 comes out April 28th as well.

It's hard to get away from a damn good looking slim phone that has an amazing screen isn't it?
Alright so Update
I Spoke to VZW last night, and after alot of "venting" on my end they were willing to get me a new phone......... The Thunderbolt!
The only catch is that I had to renew my contract for 2 years, which is okay because I was 4 months into this one. Once I get I will either give the phone to a family member for super cheap or just sell it and recoop the cost.
The rep who I spoke with was not willing/able to do anything for me. I just asked for a supervisor, and miraculously the rep came back after a short hold time and said the supervisor is in a good mood so they will let you upgrade as long as you reup your 2 year. So i guess long story short just start escalating the call if you get any push back
I just don't understand giving up on such a great device because of a lack of an update. I understand the principle of a company supporting it's hardware, be it Samsung or Verizon, but I still think it is silly to go to all this trouble just on principle. What does the Thunderbolt have that the Fascinate doesn't (besides the obvious, 2.2 and 4G)? To each his own, I guess.

Well look at it this way I got a new phone for a great price as well as I am still able to keep my Fascinate or sell it. When/if Froyo ever comes out and I still have the Phone I can always switch back to it.
I want to make it clear I love my Fascinate, if for nothing else the screen is amazing. I have never really had any issues with it, except for the usual gps taking a while to connect, and it freezing which attribute to sftware not hardware.
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.

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)

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.

Thank you for this
after a few weeks of having my post up on CL wanting to trade an updated Gingerbread for a Froyo version of the Evo I finally got a reply.. Tomorrow I go and pick it up and I will be rooting it the minute I walk in my door. I cannot wait..
Congrats! But as always with CL postings/Listings Be sure to inspect the device and make sure everything is up to par. And make sure you check the ESN first to see if its clear. What good is a freshly rooted evo if you have no service?

Well I learned the hard way. Don't do what I did. I purchased an EVO from someone on Craig's list. The esn came back clean and the EVO was in mint condition. And the guy only wanted 125 for it. Well I purchased it and went home to activate it via the website. Well it activated , BUT, here is where I got shafted. When I went to make a test call. It came back with an automated response of "to add mins to your boost mobile account please press 2". My heart sank and the term epic fail repeated constantly in my head. But I went to the Sprint store and tried to get them to flash it back but no avail. So I called Sprint tech support and I "told" (insert sarcasm) them that I went in the Sprint store to have them do an update for my phone and that afterwards it came back to me as a boost mobile device. And since the device was activated via the esn it showed as active on my Sprint accnt. So the senior management rep apologise repeatedly and credited me 400 mins, and shipped me a refurbished Sprint EVO. And lucky me it came with 2.2. I'm happy that I tricked Sprint but at the same time I'm not because I have a feeling it will bite me in the arse one day.
