I saw in the photos of the Touch that SprintTV is part of the software...
I'm curious if that will be part of the update we've been promised (but never delivered on)...
i was told when i bought my phone (in june) that the update woul dbe in october or november, so i think its a bit early to be saying "never delivered on"
but yeah, i heard sprintTV is supposed to be part of that as well
Its out, the .cab file,is posted on the PPCgeek.com software forum.
attached. i edited the cab to allow it to be uninstalled
very cool, is there no way to uninstall the previous version?

Very nice. Even some decent free content. Between this and my Slingbox I'm never going to be bored at the airport.
Works well on my artemis, little frame drop. Thanks a lot.

I'm on o2 UK, I connected via wifi no prompts, so yes I would say it works on any network with just a data connection.
Edit: Giving me an error few hours later.
Sprint TV
Hey guys this cab also works on non Spint networks too. I have an AT&T 8525 phone and the video on it works perfectly, the only issue I have is that the audio drops out occasionaly. Can anybody answer that one

hey, I wonder what would happen if you "subscribe" to channels if not on Sprint... how can they charge you? Will it work, or are they smart enough to disable channel purchases if you don't have a sprint phone?
On top of that, do you guys on sprint think that Sprint will charge us for this? there has been some talk that it needs some ID info from the touch in order to charge its users for subscriptions... guess I'll wait until after some folks get their next bill to see!!
I am getting confused now: do I have to pay for using the NON PREMIUM channels (the one that did NOT pop-up saying "...subscriptions for $ 7.95 /month")?
I have the Mogul with SERO plan and unlimited data. No where in my bill I see "PowerVision" or the like.
I got the SprintTV.cab file, installed it and can see the free (non-premium) channels.
Again, will I be charged for watching non-premium channels?

Most likely. At work we had the Upstage with unlimited everything and it would still ask us if we wanted to buy the premium stuff.
subscriptions
if you subscribe to channels, will you be charged this on your Sprint bill?
Hey I have a Telus P4000 with the october 21 rom from colonel and it has sprint tv on it, I clicked subscribe on the premium channels and it let me have it, will this show on my TELUS bill in Canada or am I somehow getting this for free?

I am not referring to the premimum channels, just the normal channel. Example: CNN -> when I watch this, no pop-up asking me to pay $7.95.

Obviously not. If the premium ones ask you to pay.. it's because they're premium. The non-premiums don't ask you to pay.. because they're free.

Still no calls over wifi though.
Exactly what I'm waiting for. Hope they go live soon
i dont need a signature
Hope I get an invite! I've been a GV user since it was grandcentral. The minute I saw this I added in my email.
Good to see they are starting to roll this out to a few.
Hey, this may stray a little off topic but maybe you guys can help answer a few questions for me.
The situation...
I might be relocating to the island of grenada, dominican republic for two years for school. I have google voice on my phone and was wondering if I took my shift with me, can I just put it in airplane made, turn on wifi and receive and make calls with google voice while on campus/around wifi hot spots?

No, it's not VOIP. You couldn't make calls. SMS gets sent over data though so you would still be able to text.

I think Skype would be the way to go.
That's awesome; I really want to get this enabled on my phone. I already use Google Voice for voicemail, but I want my Sprint number as my Google Voice number because it's the number everyone already knows for me.
So is it safe to assume that if you already have a GV number you have to forfeit it in order to port your Sprint number to GV?

bcellis - yes. you have 90 days to decide to switch back.
Has anyone tried contacting Sprint about getting an invite to the service? Maybe it's just a matter of talking to the right person...
That's one of the perks of working for Sprint corporate. The day after the PR about Google Voice and Sprint, a few of my team members and I received the invitation. I have to say we haven't had any issues with it up to this point.
According to the Gvoice blog, it's live, live live.
Same error for me.
I don't even get the link to check my phone. It shows a Sprint logo though.
Noticed the prompt this morning, still not sure if I'll make the change. Kind of like the dual number juggle myself.
im getting an error too....

What I was planning on doing iis porting this number to another one of my gmail accounts, then I'd just use the gvoice app to keep using my current gvoice number, which I only use for texting ; I use my sprint number for calls.

It probably won't, since most of the people at Sprint probably don't even know what Google Voice is, let alone what color the Sprint logo is.
im still not clear on what the big deal is about this, it doesnt sound that great but thats just me i guess
I have an employee discount an ported my number to GVoice no problem last week.... Am I going to lose my discount or something?
Well, that was great, on the phone with 5 different people to find out that certain types of phones accounts will not work with this (pre-paid, nextel, corporate and government accounts). So, if you get a discount for being in the military, you can't do this.
Google should just buy Sprint and get into the market that way.
Anyone out there already use gv callback with sprint to home? That's what I currently use and wondering if there's any benefit (or drawback) to porting. ?

If you use your Google voice as your sprint to home number it will not work any more because your sprint number will be your GV number. Your GV number will go away after 3 months once you convert.
Hey. Was wondering if anyone had a similar problem, or knew of a possible cause or fix.
Whenever someone on a carrier other then sprint tries calling my epic, they get a "your call did not go through, please try again 025T" error message. I can make calls to those same numbers, but they can't even get through to my voice mail.
Never had a problem like this. Started randomly last night. Contacted Sprint, and they tried the normal updating profile, prl, etc, but no dice.
I'm on Syndicate Frozen 2.2
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
I'm using an airrave as well, but the issue is happening whether I'm using the airave or not.
Thanks for any suggestions or help guys.
Weird, yesterday my other phone incoming calls would go straight to voicemail. Called sprint and they went through the hands free activation to get it to work. I wonder if they are related.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Having the exact same problem. Also on Syndicate 1.2 and using an Airrave. Phone would only ring when I had the screen on or had just recently locked it. When the screen was off for a few minutes all calls would be routed to voicemail or just fail completely and I wouldn't even get a missed call notification.
Same here. While in airave range, incoming calls go straight to voicemail.

Funny story. I got a job offer thursday.. phone didnt ring. I got the voicemail friday NIGHT after business hours. I cancelled my contract and went to verizon. I raged but now I don't have to worry about this crap again.

p.s. you could try using roam control and forcing verizon towers. I blame sprint being terrible
Also Airave here! Did anyone call Airave people? After the hands free activation it worked fine but if it happens again today I will call them. They love to update software and f%$k up people's phones.

I called on Friday, but they didn't help much past restart your Airave and your phone, then call us back if you're still having issues.
I'll be calling in again today once I get home.
Btw, I know it's definitely an airave issue in my case, because calls come in just fine when the airave is powered off.
They updated the Airave software on Friday and screwed everyone's service up. Everyone call and yell to get full upgrade status or ETF waived and put on month to month. This is unacceptable and Sprint should be liable. I lost a $2000 AC job! Anyone want to start a class action suit since this is Sprint caused?

Hey all. I just found (but has probably been out for awhile) a new thing that StraightTalk and the sister companies are doing. They are now offering GSM based SIM Cards for any AT&T and T-Mobile (and some sprint i believe) networked unlocked phones. Link at bottom for StraightTalk Sim card. They have both the full size card and the micro sim too. (For the iPhone 4s guys) I ordered a sim card last week and will hopefully get it on Thursday (7/12/12). I'll post later how it is and all. If anyone else has or had or will do this too post away how it worked out for you. StraightTalk and Net10 are both offering the SIM card for only $14.99 right now and charge you for shipping SOMETIMES. I was able to get just in under the limit that they were offering Free shipping on all orders $14.99 and over. Good for people that want a new Cheap phone service but want to keep their GSM based phone or cannot afford a new phone.
Net10
StraightTalk
Excelent, awsome offert. But I will not enjoy it because I dont use Tmo or At&t.
@josuearisty: The SIM Cards can be used in any unlocked AT&T or TMO phone, ex. our Bravos. That's what I was talking about.
The SIM cards really work in about any unlocked GSM phone that works on 800mhz and 1900mhz bands.
Working......
Well my Sim chip came in yesterday, put it in my phone, went online and switched my equipment on www.straighttalksim.com. Well all was well yesterday after about 5min of easy work. Old phone turned off new one on. Ok. No data, no text's? huh? Oh ya! Switch the APN settings. Got the little red card that came with the chip and had the settings I needed. Cool I thought to myself. Punch in the settings, reboot, enjoy! Works! Cool. Make a test call, hmm. There's a ring, yea. Connects, yea. Can you hear me? Good. Everything works. Awesome. So I use it all day yesterday and what happens? You guessed it, battery dies. Ok fine, charge it. Charged overnight. Wake up. Checked my emails, didn't notice I was connected to my home wifi, was out side, sent off a text, it sent, I thought, waited, hmm, must still be asleep. Oh well. Took my son to school. Cool. Check my phone at school, no messages. Strange, I usually have something by now, it's been an hour. Make a call, "Were sorry but you have reached your service end date. To contune please add another airtime card or......" WTF!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY 20 MORE DAYS LEFT! I JUST BOUGHT A DAMN CARD! Drive home PISSED. Called StraightTalk off the wifes phone. "Please hold for the next available customer service rep." ok shouldnt be that long "your expected wait time is TEN MINUTES", pause for information to sink in. WHAT!? Whatever. Then they answered. "How can we help you today Mister Jones?" You cut off my service, "Oh i'm sorry about that, let me transfer you to someone who can help you, may I do that now?" yes "Ok thank you and thank you for being......... yada yada" ok so next guy comes on "Hello how may I help you?" You cut my phone service off "Oh i'm sorry for that let's take a look at your account." So he does and then asks when did I start and when did I last buy a card and such and then he says please hold so I can look at the account. Well his hold I guess is just not talking, not the button. Well after about 6 min of just hearing him breathing he says "Ok mister Jones i've replaced 11 days of service for you, will there be anything else I can do for you today?" Umm you did what? "I've put the remaining days back onto your account that we're supposed to have transferred but didn't" Oh ok thank you that will be all for today. " I thank you Mister Jones for being a part..." CLICK! I really don't like talking to customer service people that much. So,, I've been having a fairly good experience except for the time I had no service.
Rating is interesting for this one. 7 out of ten for service (or having service), I guess 5 out of ten for the customer service people, and everything else is fine so far.
Your sig shows you running CM7? Mine or Quarx's? Need to know if I need to update the apns since Strait Talk is supposed to be there by default now.
No I use an old quarx one. If you need to know any apn let me know and I can find it for you. Most of the time I've seen that the apn settings are somewhere on the sim card and the phone saves them.

I don't. Straight Talk's Apn comes with CM9 by default and I can get it from there. Just checked my APNs with my CM7 and I need to add that one in....Is they're unlimited data "AT&T\Verizon 2Gb Unlimited" or "Sprint Unlimited"? I'm thinking of going to Straight Talk and dropping off my parent's AT&T Family Plan.
//I still think AT&T & Verizon should be taken to court for offering unlimited data in big letters on the ads while its really only 2gb of data -- hardly unlimited, small, unreadable, quick changing terms you can barley read at the bottom of a 48" 1080p screen shouldn't count; I wouldn't complain if the cap was at 50gb+, but you can barley watch a few youtube videos with 2gb. I can easily burn 1+ gigs a day just with rom development (repo syncing, up\downloading roms, mods, syncing\installing apps after a flash); factor in streaming music, social integration apps, YouTube, email, web browsing, navigation, push ads....I can go on, but ya'll get the point of the rant.
I don't have the capped data I have the unlimited one. I don't know if they do like T-Mobile and roll your speed back after a few gigs or not. Alot of mixed information is online so until I use it I don't really know.
Short version. I have unlimited data.

I have a friend who has it, and from what I understood from him, its unlimited until you run out of minutes. Not sure if they throttle it or not, but I can deal with throttled internet....its being charged $20 for every 2GB that bothers me more than anything. He's only had it for less than a month as well and isn't a geek or tech savvy.
Makes me wonder if there's some way to use a VOIP service for calls with Straight Talk so you'd never go over the minutes and lose internet...

I haven't looked around all that much but there are several voip options in the google store. I don't remember but I think you can use skype to call other skype users voip. I just pay the $45 a month and have unlimited everything for 30 days. I don't care about min or texts or data usage. I am watching how much data I'm using to see if they throttle me or cut me off. In the terms of service they do say to not tether or data but I am anyway. Netflix and youtube are also taboo to them as well but what do we care? I'? tethering to my laptop to watch netflix and youtube with open garden. I'm using the non-root open garden just to try it out and even though there is a very lax set of settings it works as it should. Only downside to the non-root app it that you have to have bluetooth on the receiving computer or device. Mines built-in on my laptop but not my wifes. As well the app doesn't work on her HTC rhyme.

My buddy does it by the minutes, didn't know they had an unlimited service for $45 -- that's not bad at all -- which is why I thought the voip option was an idea to get around that, but I'd rather pay $45 for the unlimited anyways since its cheaper then AT&T's (un)limited plan.

Did straight talk cut you off for watching Netflix ? I called their customer service about netflix, and couldn't get a straight answer about whether or not they allowed it. (no pun intended)
