Another message from Sprint. - Epic 4G General

Just had a message in my notification bar from Sprint.
Had the little yellow Sprint icon in the top left. I pull it down and it says "Sprint Update coming soon."
I'm running EC05 from the update.zip.
I clicked on the message and it brought me to a page that showed the Sprint ID stuff and said an update in addition to Sprint ID will be coming soon.
What could it be?

Sprint just signed a deal with google for google voice. It might have something to do with that.

I received it as well via the sprint notification on the phone. Links to the same thing the text message did 3 days ago. Nothing special, means nothing.

Same here in central florida. Sms yesterday, notification today, still no ota...
Btw I'm un-rooted di18
Epicly posted using the xda app!

I was getting them every few hours even when I was on a DK28 rom (which obviously couldn't get an OTA update).
Hopefully Sprint will stfu soon.

I guess they just figured out nobody uses their voicemail b/c it blows goats. I think sprint may be getting a bit smarter, going with the current rather than paddling upstream and pissing off their loyal base.
This T-Mobile AT&T thing is a bit worrysome... but if Sprint starts partnering with Google. Well...
If they were really smart they'd be hiring dev's from sites like this and then they'd really be hip.

I received EB13 ota on day 1. Hoping to get similar results this time. Just got my phone back today from best buy. Had an incident where I went to take a picture an launched my phone about 10 ft across the bar. Gorilla glass is tough, not invincible. Phone also landed flat on the screen. Works great after the repair, though.

PRL just automatically updated

Says it updated and radio needs to be reset, still on 60676 though. Running latest ACS
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
60676 is currently the newest PRL update.
I know, and we've had it for a while. Just wondering why an update was sent out and why did my phone tell me it was updated if I was already running it?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
No clue. From what I've read, Sprint is having issues with it.
Just happened to me, too. Makes no sense.
It's weird how only some phones does it and some phones not. My wife have an Epic as well, and her doesn't have any errors when trying to update her PRL. Hard to tell, but from what I've read, people are stating it's Sprint. Even read some people bringing in their phones to a repair center and got a replacement phone. I really don't care about PRL updates at the moment, so I don't want to bring in my phone to a repair center and being hassles by them.
happened to me too...im still on 60676 tho...the update never finished...i waited an hour, then just decided to reboot...weird...

I just manually changed it to 01115 to keep 3G roaming in Florida and those bastiches at Sprint woke me at 4AM with the signal beep to change me back to 60676!
I'm in New England and still on 60675.
When trying to update sometimes it returns an error, sometimes no new PRL found.

Who got the HP Touchpad for $99.99/$149.99?

First tried walmart, staples and radioshack without success (there's no best buy here). Then I finally got two of them after searching online. The website crashed so I called their 1-800 number and waited on hold for two hours but finally got them lol. They're working on porting Android to them so its a damn good deal for the tablets. Anyone else get them while they're cheap?

I Got lucky and was able to order one off Amazon yesterday. For the price I had to find one.. Hopefully we'll see Android ported over sooner than later.

Ordered mine from barnes and noble. Hoping it goes through.
From what I hear of webOS, I'd be happy if we can just get android market on it, like the playbook.
Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk
I ordered one from bestbuy.com. WebOS sucks for what I might need it for because of the lack of apps and no annotation software. I decided that if they don't have android ported over by the time I get it, it's going on eBay.

actually, b&n is out of stock, they have a buggy inventory system.
visit slickdeals.net, they have a thread for it, and just watch until the next batch of retailers follow suit. newegg still has not dropped, so watch for that. they're a west coast company, so it'll probaboly go live as soon as their workers get back to work.

Point towards the hp touchpad forums and maybe I'll take it there.
Nothing wrong with being curious if other Shift owners are getting one and helping others find them. When can we root gingerbread btw?

Thats weird. Usually they send a text to everyone if its something like this. I have yet to receive a text like that, anyways the merger was called off about a few months ago, and basically most people already know about it.
I got the same text about an hour ago. Also got a letter in the mail a couple weeks ago. Maybe they have Cedric the Entertainer working in the PR department..."Are you sure? Are you sure, sure?"

Yea i just got this. Its funny that if you follow the link and watch those videos of the iphones they're basically just saying that there 4g is faster than everyone elses 3g which is obvious. very stupid marketing
just got it today too.
To be fair, T-mobile's 3g is faster than everyone else's 3g...

On my third shift and I'm done

So I'm on my third shift in two months and I've had it with this phone. First two had touch screen issues and now the third one when I slide out the keyboard the hinges are like grinding. Last time I spoke with a Sprint rep he told me there was only a certain amount of replacement phones allowed and then they would upgrade me. Will this force me to use my upgrade early? I don't really want to use my upgrade early unless I can upgrade again in 6 months when my original contract is up. I would rather wait for the new motorola slider to come out before using my upgrade. And I don't want to have to pay like $200 yet for a new phone/contract. So what are all of my options, or do you think they'll offer a slight upgrade for free like a evo 3d or something?
Well I left sprint yesterday and was shocked that the only htc device they have is the EVO 4G lte. The evo3d and evo design have both been discontinued and pulled from the shelves... Insurance is your only option for a shift and they are on back order... Not exactly a great situation for a shift owner...
Sent from my PG06100 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
That's peculiar.. I remember a thread just like this a few months ago..
Again maybe I remind people you can buy a used shift if you want to..
drob I thought you switched to the Evo LTE? You decided to leave Sprint?
Vicodan there's one thread called on my second shift lmao. Yeah Sprint knows I'm fed up with all these shifts being on back order and not having a working phone for weeks at a time and then sending me crappy refurbs that only last a week or so. That's why they told me they would upgrade me after two or three replacements even with insurance. I'm almost with drob on leaving Sprint

Hey I'm about 7 or 8 shifts in. Just call HTC directly and find the right person.

If you do take it in, and they start giving you ISH. Do what I do, while your still standing there call Sprint. Let them know the situation, and that the CS Rep in the store isn't helping you resolve the issue. What I've found out the GD hard way, is that the people in the store are not even remotely trying to help you. They're usually on direct orders from the Store Manager to basically put you off. Or try and get you to go through insurance. The stores bottom line is their main concern, not you. I've actually had a store Rep tell me there was nothing he could do to help me. Then I tell him I have Sprint on the phone, and they'd like to speak with them. Then all of a sudden the story changes.
I'm still on my first Shifty, but it is finally beginning to have problems. The touch screen is acting very weird. It acts as if my finger is constantly touching the top portion of the screen.
It will open whatever app is up there, if any, and click through every button within the app on that part of the screen. All while I am not even touching the screen. If I try to back out of the screen or hit home it will just do it again over and over, like I'm hitting the same area over and over.
If I smack the phone off the palm of my hand it stops...lol
What carrier and what device are you thinking of changing to Sparksco?

If you can start with kernels. They're a little easier in terms of not having to deal with c++
Plus I think your efforts show more when you have your own custom kernels in the roms.

System updates is not available.

When going to do the KitKat update after freshly sbf'ing to stock I am greeted with a prompt(when I go to settings>about phone>system update) that says the following; "System updates is not available without a Motorola service account". It asks me if I want to set up an account and when I try it just has a spinning circle that never goes away. I am on 9.30.1. I have tried a factory reset multiple times with no success. Any ideas on a fix?
Perhaps someone will pull the official update from their cache and you could apply in the same manner as the soak test leak

I do! I even had the phone into the Verizon store today and they played with it for about an hour (near as I can tell, they didn't do anything I hadn't already tried). The consensus was that I needed a new phone, so they are going to overnight a new phone out to me.

Okay I have bad news. I just got off the phone with a tech support agent at Motorola. They asked for my IMEI, I gave it to them and they told me they could tell i was rooted(which is funny because I'M ACTUALLY NOT ) and that the Motorola servers don't push updates to rooted phones. makes me question a lot because when i was actually rooted i got the update, but now that i'm not i don't? This is a mess. I just want my update.
