Corded headsets
I just upgraded to the Centro and my old 2.5mm headset won't work in the Centro. Does it require a special headset or a special plug?
Will the Everything Plan be required to purchase this phone?
I recently received an advert for this phone and it said that you must have the everything plan to purchase this phone. Is that true?
Re: camcorder question
I know you can transfer the files via the transflash card but I cant help you with the length since I keep my transflash full with MP3s.
Re: Problems with latest update
Yeah.. that's exactly what was going on with my phone. It has since stopped so I'm not sure what changed.
Problems with latest update
Anyone seeing problems with the latest software update to the A920? My phone has done some strange things since it was updated.
Re: Camera Lag
I think its not as bad if you take pictures at a lower resolution.
Re: Cant send pic email
yes, been there several times. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. They have reset my profile a few times but that doesn't fix it. I believe its a network issue on Sprint's end.
Re: Prices coming down...
I wish SPRINT would do this.. a basic phone with bluetooth!
Re: Reception Question! Please answer ASAP!
Really?? Better reception?
Re: sanyo 7500
Funny you should say that. I actually bought the a920 and it does so many things better than my old Sanyo except one... reception.
Roads that I used to travel now have dead spots where there were none before. However, the a920 is a great phone when you have a signal of course if I break down in some of those dead spots I'll be cursing the thing out.
Re: Reception Question! Please answer ASAP!
I think you'll like it. I was on some back roads last night where my old sanyo would work... this thing wouldnt. However, thats only one data point... but I really think my Sanyo had better reception but this phone does so many other things better that its worth it (unless Im broken down in one of those dead spots and then Ill be cursing this thing)
Re: Reception Question! Please answer ASAP!
I've only had that happen once and I was on a back road where I can hold a signal but its really weak to start.
Not knowing how these phones are designed I wonder:
1) is the screen reallying showing me the true signal?
2) is the sensitivity on this phone really any different than the other phone?
3) is the internal antenna vs the external antenna the difference?
But for me the bottom line was that everyone said that I sound clear.
Re: Reception Question! Please answer ASAP!
Ive had this phone for 2 weeks now and it replaced my Sanyo 8100. The Sanyo had the best reception of any phone Ive ever had. This is almost as good. One thing that Ive noticed is that when I'm not talking on the phone the bars are a bit low but when I start using it they kick up to full bars so I don't know if this is a battery saving feature or just something weird to ...
Re: Caller ID Question...A-920 owners PLEASE reply
My device wont hold a signal either... may return it but it doesnt drop either and everyone says it sounds great... not sure what is going on with this phone.
Re: Caller ID Question...A-920 owners PLEASE reply
I've seen that as well but it doesn't bother me.
There is a caller ID setting under incoming calls but I haven't played with that yet.
Re: Ugly
This is the Liberace of phones!
Re: Power up/off Sound
Nevermind, found it!! Its under "ALERTS"
Power up/off Sound
I intially turned this off. Anyone know how to turn it back on again?
What did I buy?
I just added the power vision PLUS package to my service. Does anyone know what that includes? I cant find this anywhere on sprint.com. Maybe Im looking in the wrong place?
Re: Bad Busines Policy
Well to put an end to this thread....
I finally changed phones (a Samsung A920) and I did it all over the phone. Sprint waived the fees, gave me an extra discount on the service and an extra discount on the phone and I was a happy customer again.
THE END
service / no service / service/ no service/ service / no service
I just activated my A920 last night and a few times while I was playing with it the phone would find service then it couldnt..flashing back and forth for about a minute. It was weird. Meanwhile, my trusty Sanyo 8100 was sitting there with full service.
Could this be a result of just activating the phone??? OR perhaps I was playing with features and something affected the signal?
Re: Still no Bluetooth
Ive been waiting for a Sanyo with bluetooth but I couldnt wait any longer so I went for a Samsung A920. I hope its as good as my old Sanyo 8100... I had 2 samsungs before that and they were horrible compared to the Sanyo.
I agree that if Sanyo put out a basic phone with bluetooth they would rule!
Re: sanyo 7500
Bluetooth??
Re: Bad Busines Policy
Sounds like you are wrong mr kbake.
Re: wow im the first one here
Ive heard this is the sister phone to the A950.
Re: wow im the first one here
I'm torn between the 900 and the 920. I only use the phone for a phone and reading email when I'm away from a computer (yahoo web based).
I want a flip phone with bluetooth so its down to these two. Any suggestions?
Re: a920
They are available on the sprint web page now.
Available Accessories
If this is the sister to the a950 then there are a lot of aftermarket cheap accessories available.
Re: wow im the first one here
I heard this is the sister phone to Verizon's A950. Im debating between this phone and the Samsung a900
Re: What is meant by "a day"??
Im pretty happy if I can get 3 hours of talk time out my phone but if they are watching TV, listening to MP3s, surfing the web and it dies within the day..then thats ok by me.
But if cant get through the day... then it could be a problem.
What is meant by "a day"??
Is a day 24 hours of use? 24 hours of standby?
An 8 hour business day of use? 8 hours of standby?
Is that "use" just talking? standby? standby with the EVDO going?? etc.
Headset jack?
Anyone know if the A900 has a jack for a wired headset?
Re: Where the frick is the Bluetooth?
If only Sanyo had a bluetooth phone. I dont know why they havent come out with one??? Time to come over the the Samsung team!
Re: So where is the PTT?
Ready Link?? Not interested. I want a reliable Bluetooth flip phone and this seems like the best Sprint has come up with so far.
A basic clam shell Bluetooth phone?
Does anyone know if Sprint will produce a basic phone with Bluetooth? I think there is a need for those of us who use the phone more as a phone and less for multimedia and would like Bluetooth for the car. I heard the A920 by samsung might have this???

Is this the last day? or did I miss it?
Re: VERY LAST DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........
Last chance for what??
Is this the longest forum so far?
Re: Upgrade/Act. Fees
You work? I thought you just surfed phonescoop all day?
And if you want to stay in business, the customer is always right. I'll be writing to the CEO of sprint as will other people who object to this fee. With enough complaints they will pull that fee.
One of the partners in my firm just cancelled his sprint phone. I guess he ran into an employee like you. Good thing as attorneys we can afford other carriers.
Re: How mature
Cingluar is my other option if I dont go back to sprint. Cingular as well as Sprint gives you the option of starting your night minutes at 7 pm.
I'll write the CEO of sprint objecting to the policy. That should get an response.
