Where is everyone? - EVO 4G General

I found it appropriate to kindly ask, where is everyone that was hating Sprint 2 weeks ago? Funny how phones change peoples minds, even if service in their area still suck. I can't see myself paying a company that doesn't cover my area just because they have a nice phone, but I guess if you like being tormented enjoy the new phones! I sure will.
And to clear some things up, my area sucks for Sprint service as well, I drop every single call inside of my house if im in my living room and Sprint doesn't give employees free Airaves

Well, my speeds have gotten better in some areas, so that's why I'm not complaining anymore... and I can't really beat $54 a month...though, virgin mobile's new deal looks pretty good.

Sprint loves me as far as coverage goes, and always has (I've lived in Los Angeles since I've had Sprint).

On other carriers? So what, we're all supposed to be happy now even though many of us still have crap data speeds because Sprint came out with a new phone? Dont get the logic..I mean if our data speeds had gone back up hell id be the first one on here rejoicing.

I'm here.
I haven't had anything to ***** about re Sprint in a long time but I'm here now and I'm here to say FVCK YOU SPRINT, bastards..
I am so pissed about this whole losing my upgrade that I've been saving since December knowing more great phones would drop in Q2.
No offense shrooms, but please don't send me another pm about how retentions will reinstate it.
I just got off the phone with retentions (i was very civilized on the phone) not only did they completely stonewall me on the upgrade, they were delighted to terminate one of my lines and bill me an etf.
I will definitely let my contracts run out, shop the competition and if I do stay with sprint I sure-as-**** won't sign another contract.
Sooo pissed off right now..

You missed the point.... he said call after.

I've seen that before, but I never tried it because I'm already getting a total 30% off of my bill. Really, I was just messing with Shrooms. I get a 5% "courtesy" discount on my bill because I called them once *****ing about something or other (this was years ago; I don't remember what my complaint was) and they offered this to me as a consolation. I also get a 25% discount because my employer is under Sprint's list eligible companies that they give discounts too. So in total, my $69.99 plan comes to $78.49 including the $10 data fee, the $7 for TEP, and all local taxes.
I have no complaints.
Oh, and I've been with Sprint since 1999, so I get all my Premier benefits. My plan is so old, that I still get the first incoming minute free. lol Anyone remember that?

Foxnews rips on our little buddy?

Here
I like fox of why why why
How are they ripping on it? They are basically stating the obvious..
Reminds me of Bill Gates saying that 640K of memory would be enough.
They are more ripping on sprint and their 4g and prices
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
IMO. 4g is great and all, but if you live in an area with 4g coverage, you probably already have good 3g coverage. I'd rather just use 3g because I've noticed 4g is a major drain on battery life.
You, I admit, I did not read the article fully, I was trying to do breaking news.. lulz apologies!
Yeah, I saw that too the other day. Not only did they get the prices wrong for the plans but they say the $10 fee is for the 4G even though that is not what Sprint says it is for.
The same day this article came out another one talking up the iPhone and AT&T showed up...
I thought they were fair and balanced.
Foxnews is the worst they always lie, I just don't know why so many people follows what they say!! even though most of the time they are wrong!!
Their pricing is way off! Before I rooted this month my bill was $119.00 for the EVO with 4g charge and hotspot tethering.

And what's worse is that they don't even bother correcting it which makes me think they are intentionally lying. I hope Sprint sues their asses, it's about time someone calls them out for their lies.
While I don't really like fox news, they didn't really lie about plan pricing. The said "full plan" which, to me, implies sprint's "simply everything" plan, which is $100.00. Plus $30.00 for hotspot, plus $10.00 for "premium feature" (which we all know is 4G...) that brings a monthly bill to $140.00.
I personally pay $80.00 like I'm sure a lot of others do as well, the everything data 450. Who needs the simply everything plan... landlines are SO 2009. (Lol)

How are they lying? Which phones get charged $10 premium fees? The Evo 4G and the Samsung Epic 4G. Hmmmm........only two phones with 4G. The only reason Sprint does not state that you pay $10 for 4G because other people in areas that dont have 4G would not have to pay.
even if 4g phones on sprint cost $10 more a month, its still cheaper than [email protected] or verizon for an equal plan. AND we have truly unlimited data, v and a dont
imo 4g is not over hyped. its ****ing fast.
also, I think buying a new device for new technology is not so outrageous, at all. Apple does it all the time, heck, their first phone didnt even have 3g... lol if you buy a new hd cam and your computers graphic card just isnt up to par, you need a new one, same with everything else, if you want the latest of one side of tech, you need the latest on the other side as well. and thats a common know fact. suck it up fox
AND REMEMBER the 1st iphone was like $700 because it was first, We all know Fox News sucks anyway, Sprint sue their ass!!

got "the call" today

...informing me my account was being cancelled for excessive roaming data usage. I knew it was being throttled and it's why I'm switching providers and already have a phone with a different provider. I wasn't abusing it, but when sprint changed the terms of their service agreement when I got my evo it put me in a bad spot because I work in the mountains of CO 2 days a week and have a lot of down time to watch videos. Previously, my grandfathered SERO plan had no restrictions on data usage. 10 years with Sprint and this is the call. Awesome.

You're right, you are now because you're with another provider (and they all do except att that just doesn't have unlimited)
Sprint doesn't throttle phones.
I sort of want to be canceled because I want to switch to Verizon or AT&T.
I know how to do the Verizon prl. My question is, are they making you pay an ETF? And, if they cancel you, do the do anything with your ESN? Will I be able to sell my phone to cover the cost of a new phone on another provider?

Maybe I wasn't being throttled. Up until 2 months ago when I was out of normal coverage I could still watch things on megavideo. Within the last 2 months all of the sudden I cant even get data coverage that is fast enough to sync my email without timing out. This area is covered with a Verizon 3G signal. This has happened with 2 different EVOs on stock ROMs and steel H rooted rom as well as myn's 2.2 RLS5 ROM

I think this isn't even remotely directed at me (I see who you quoted) but on the chance that it is... I wasn't doing any of that and am not under contract with Sprint and haven't been since December. Before I got my EVO and had a winmo phone my grandfathered SERO plan had a $5 option for data roaming while off the sprint network as long as it didn't go above a certain percentage of your usage, which it shouldnt have ever anyways because unless I'm snowboarding or exploring CO I'm not off Sprint coverage more than 2x a week

I'm going to bold what I'm about to say because you need to understand it.
This behavior right here, your behavior, is the PROBLEM.
It is EXACTLY WHY carriers get away with throttling and limiting and ****ing the customer.
It is EXACTLY WHY there is always a new law to bend people over even more.
You're not just ruining it for Sprint customers, you're ruining it for everyone in society and the day this is understood is the day we might actually be able to mature as a people.
Hey, I think you guys should lay off the guy. It wasn't his daily there was no Sprint coverage. And this is America, he has every right not having to pay an etf because Spring decides they've had enough. So bottom line, go troll somewhere else, this guy doesn't deserve it.

If Sprint stops providing coverage in your area then they have to waive your ETF and that is a separate issue.
However, if you sign up for Sprint and you use the coverage and then just decide you don't want it anymore and therefore are going to abuse your way out then you can honestly go jump off a bridge.

sprint to waive ETFs due to contract change (evo edition)

i also posted this in the epic forum, but since im sure a lot of you dont frequent it, i thought id post it here too. flame on!
title says it all. the admin fee is going from .99 cents per line to 1.50 per line.
all you have to do is call and (2 options) 1.) cancel and move on to a different company with no early termination fee, or 2.) try getting out of the contract and go month to month so you have more leverage to bargain for a better phone in a few months as you are now out of contract.
this is the notice that should be included in your next bill

YOU CAN FIND AN OLDER COPY OF THE CONTRACT BY COPY AND PASTING THE ADDRESS ON ARCHIVE.ORG
if you do want to cancel but want to save your phone number, try going about getting month to month, then porting out your number to a prepaid or gv, then wait 30 days, and port your number back to sprint getting new customer pricing on phones. (perhaps 3vo, sgs2 or photon for 99 bucks.)
For those of you who are considering doing the port out/ port in method you can port your number to Google Voice for free since Sprint and GV are partnered up (Thanks nkdumb24 from slickdeals.net )
personally, i wont be jacking with this. i already have upgrades available on 3 of my 4 lines and i like the prices. just sharing with the community.
Has anyone done/tried this and been successful? I know talk like this went around with some change Verizon did a.couple of months ago and they lowered another charge to keep the bill the same so people couldn't do this. I guess if someone has done this what did you say and what did you get?

I didn't read thru all of this but I cancelled my contract only after 4 months..not because I was unhappy but I flashed my nexus to boost to save money. I was ready to pay the ETF but when I got off the phone with the woman at Sprint she said I had a hundred and some odd dollars credit..I had know idea what she was talking about but I kept quiet. When I got my final bill it was nine dollars and some change..and thats the last bill I got! I have know idea what the credit was.

I got my Sprint contract end-date moved, now I can LTEVO Monday!

I am very happy! I went into my local Sprint store, had googley eyes at the attractive Sprint guy, but he told me he couldn't move my contract end date so I could get the EVO LTE when it comes out. (My contract isn't up until Sept. 1 2012)
I called *2, explained to the rep that I wanted to stay with sprint another two years if I could upgrade to the EVO 4G LTE that is to be released for pre-order day after tomorrow. She said no.
She was eager to try options though and put me on hold. Her supervisor came back (without me asking for her). I said, "I will gladly pay any pro-rated fees to move my contract up to an early date. She told me there was nothing she could do to move my contract dates.

I said, "Why can't I pay the pro-rated penalty for canceling my contract at this point into it (20 months in) and.."
"Sir before we consider cancelling your service, let me transfer you to the department that can move your date up for you!"
And had no problems after that.
I would suspect Sprint would be willing to do anything to keep customers, as they have spent so much money on building a fallen 4G network and building a new 4G network, and after buying all them iPhones. lol
So, I will be a happy EVO 4G LTE pre-order customer come Monday!
Good for you.

Nice work! I'm at 21 months, and I think I will give this a shot. The EVO is a great phone.
I'm gonna get one of those many iPhones they bought lol. EVO was great to me and, even better to me when I rooted but...I still can't get great battery life with any techniques mentioned all over the forums. The LTEVO does look like a monster and, I'm happy to see a true successor to the OG EVO but I need GREAT not good battery life. Congrats on your upgrade I get mine in 17 days
I am so jealous of you lol. I need to call them as well to see if I can get my eligibility moved up. My contract ends on September as well so wish me luck! I badly want the Evo LTE

Are you an attractive lady? I'm assuming you will need to be... The OP seems to hint at this.

Looking attractive does not matter over the phone.

i don't get it. all you get is $150 off the price. you can just buy the phone and hold onto that discount for the future...

If you have no plans to leave a particular carrier, I'd rather sign the contracts and not pay more money for the phones. I've had Sprint almost 5 years, my wife for 10. Why pay more?

$150? The cheapest you'll find this phone is at like $600 unless you wait for a few months to get it at $500 after some digging through ebay or craigslist

I don't get it, if you're going to stay on the same carrier anyways, why not upgrade? If you end up wanting to terminate your contract you'd still end up paying less in total through an upgrade than without one anyways.
Alaman nailed it. Other arguments are ridiculous and futile lol

Sprint will let anyone buy out there contract if the area you live in is approved for buy out. It sounds weird but they actually have maps of areas where customers can and can't buy out by region.
