Re: Okay, Where did my Netflix App Go?
If i remember right, the Netflix app works on android 2.2, not 2.3. Just need to wait for Netflix to update the app and resubmit to the market. Again, I could be wrong, thats just what i think i remember.
Re: Is this really that surprising?
I thought you were going to mention something that bombed, but you mentioned the xbox and the xbox 360. I guess one of us is confused.

Sprint still needs to keep improving, but it's nice to see us getting higher on the rankings.
Re: Nice!
I can see churn happening because of this offer. They're gonna jump ship from T-mobile to Boost for a better plan and no contract.
Am i serious? No, but i have a bad feeling in my gut that tells me you are serious with your post.
Re: $50 talk only
Apparently you can't read.
"To qualify for Sprint Premier, consumers must have been a Sprint customer for at least 10 years, or spend over $69.99 per month on an individual plan or $99.99 per month on a plan that shares minutes."
Not a bad deal, i think the only other thing is that the people that haven't been Sprint customers for 10 years have to have the proper plan and have a good payment history for the last few months (can't ...
Re: Seriously?
True, but take that incredibly small amount, then multiple that by the amount of cell phones out there. Not sure what the actual number is, but i bet there are 100 million cell phones in the US and 2/3 have chargers wasting an extremely small amount of power. That can add up.
I've heard the same about google. If they made thier page black instead of white there are thousands of killowatt hours of electricity ...
Re: Google Maps
It works and will pin point your location. Just be sure that when you open it up that you hit menu and select "use phone GPS" and you'll be fine.
It is pretty accurate and looks great on the phone.
Re: Crack in the Diamond
WM6.1 is fine if you know how to use it and understand it can be difficult sometimes. It's not perfect, but no phone OS is, not even the almighty iphone.
4GB of storage is more than enough for your average cell phone user, but the people on this site are not your average user. If you need more than that, just wait a little longer for the Pro.
I don't have any real issues typing on this ...
Re: Couple of questions
:oops: Oops, forgot to mention that the guys here at my store have used the stereo bluetooth and said it works very well and sounds awesome.
Couple of questions
When you were reviewing it, did you happen to use the stereo bluetooth on it? I don't have a bluetooth headset right now, accidentally broke mine and saving up for another one.
Also, you mentioned how much of a pain it is to use the headset adapter. It's not too bad if you are using it on the desk or something like that. I do see where it's a pain when you want to use a ...
Re: Landscape Surfing
Mine sometimes doesn't register moving it sideways either (I'm the advocate for my store). I found that if you are zoomed in on a page it will not move to landscape. You have to zoom back out and then turn the phone and it will normally register the flip fine.
I think that fix is just a software update away.
Recording industry pressure?
Anyone think that maybe Sprint is getting pressure from the recording industry?
Think about it. You can buy a song from lots of different places online for $.99, but you only get 1 copy of the song. With you Sprint phone, you can get 2 copies; 1 for you phone and one for your computer.
I would bet that Sprint was getting at least some pressure about this because Sprint customers were essentially double dipping ...
Re: internal memory?
Cool. Just remember to be patient. You'll have different versions of windows trying to communicate with eachother. That can get frustrating sometimes.
Your computer may freeze up a few times when trying it, but just keep trying because so far it seems to be working well for everyone that tries ths fix.
Re: internal memory?
On ppcgeeks.com there are a some people who figured out how to get the memory to work on the phone properly. You need to do a hard reset, then when phone has finished all of it's set up, you plug it into the computer.
After that open my computer and RIGHT CLICK on the external drive (whatever letter your computer assigns to it). DO NOT access the drive. You need to just right click ...
Re: Downgrade?!?!
Yeah, I'm a little shocked myself. The phone has a better main screen, better camera and the 3.5 headset jack. The small screen from the razr has been replaced with a bigger, touch-sensitive screen on the outside.
Not sure where he gets that this is a downgrade. Maybe because it's going to have a lower price? Thats the only way i can see it being a downgrade, i guess...
Re: Sunday Meeting
Ok, I'll admit that i didn't see humor in that. When i read that i had just got finished arguing with a customer. They had a liquid damaged phone and didn't want to hear it. When i wouldn't relent he started getting personal and brought my mom into it. That really pissed me off. I read your post about 2 minutes later when i was in the back trying to cool off.
So, ...
Re: Sunday Meeting
Uhm, i think you started it:
"The meeting was for training. The handsets were going to the pawn shop to turn into some cash for Sprint. They have to pay their bills somehow..."
That was an attack on the Sprint community in general. Why do you insist on doing that?
Oh, and don't give me that crap about keeping customers informed. That post had nothing to do about keeping anyone informed about anything. Well, maybe ...
Re: Sprint ranks lowest again in JD Powers Report...
Ok, i have an honest question here. Where exactly does JD Powers get their info anyway? Is it from a list or people that they contact annually? And just how many people were surveyed?
I hate surveys. The survey company will talk to a few hundred people and use that data to tell you how the nation thinks about things. I hope that JD Powers uses lots of people for their surveys. ...
Re: TO THE COMPANY THAT WAS!!!
Really? Worst? I beg to differ.
In my PERSONAL experience, Sprint is by far the best carrier I've ever had. VZ overcharged us monthly, dropped mad calls, had HORRIBLE customer service and was just an overall bad experience. I gladly paid my ETF to get out of there.
Tmobile was very nice to me, but service was lacking in my area. Alltel was nothing special, more dropped calls than Sprint and Tmobile. ...
Re: End ETF!
I'm all for that. I hate that carriers subsidize phone prices. Just remember that these people signed contracts too. They need to be accountable for what they sign for. But how many of the average cell phone customers do you think actually understand how much a phone costs?
It's a bad place that the cell industry in the US put itself. Just think how many "problem" customer interactions could be avoided if the ...
Re: Audacious considering these same companies are players in the 200 Billion Broadband Scandal
Wow, even though i usually don't like to talk about corporate greed, this is just wrong.
I always wondered why we don't have the internet speeds that you can get in Japan, South Korea and in Europe. I always figured that the companies were holding back on the technology, but not this bad.
It doesn't surprise me a bit when i think about it. Just shocking to see it spelled out like that. It'd ...
Re: And both Apple and AT&T will be open till 5 the next morning processing all those returns...
Not the true (and annoying) apple fan boys.
The phone could be a DOA unit, just sitting there broken with just a blinking screen and they'd STILL tell you that it is the best phone on the planet and that nothing will ever beat it.
Can't reason with an apple fanboy if you have any kind of negative comment about anything apple.
Re: Official VZW Blackberry Thunder Forum
A couple quick questions about Thunder.
Is it a VZ exclusive? If so, for how long? Anyone know about a release date?
My router died at home so i can't get online to do research and internet at work is really limited.
Re: Verizon Needs to Teach AT&T
Wow. All i can say it wow.
I think that someone went to get their iphone too late in the day and all the ATT store were sold out.
They were soooo upset that they mistakenly walked into a VZ store and one of their sales people convinced that them to buy the glyde saying that it's just like the iphone.
How did that koolaid taste? Did they give you any cookies?
Re: One less reason to have Sprint...
Let me try.
First, i have to agree with you. Sprint was run pretty bad for quite a while there. The new CEO is making changes, but with a company the size of Sprint, change can take time. Unfortunately once the media gets a chance to report a few bad things about a company, they seem to jump at anything that can be bad news.
Is getting rid of SERO bad? Yes and ...
Re: How many has canceled there contract to transfer to Sprint?
Hey, i feel ya there. I've unfortunately seen that. Every carrier does that crap.
What happened with us with the overage from VZ was their blatant attempts to overcharge for roaming. We were invited to join the class action lawsuit that was filed about it. We never did because we always got it corrected. Sometimes it took my dad a few hours and heated discussions on the phone, but it got handled. ...
Re: Blackberry Thunder OS Pictures
I'm really looking forward to seeing this phone in action. I haven't done too much research about it, but what I've heard it's going to be nice.
Will this be a VZ exclusive, or will it be made available to Sprint? Just curious.
Re: How many has canceled there contract to transfer to Sprint?
Wow, i had a VZ rep try and tell me that same crap when i left them about 3 or 4 years ago. They told me that i was making a huge mistake. That the other carriers were junk and that at VZ i pay more for "better quality" service.
VZ loved to over charge us for roaming when we weren't roaming and were usually rude to me in the store and over the phone. ...
Re: I need some input
Unfortunately, you're right. I am a bit of a phone junkie. (my bank account really hates it) :oops:
What sucks is that even with the WM6.1 update, the mogul will still be, in my opinion, underpowered. It only has 64 megs of ram. I'm really liking the specs for the new HTC phones, especially the pro. I think i saw that it's going to have over 200 megs of ram. That's ...
I need some input
I've got the itch to get another phone again.
Right now i have the Mogul and it's been having issues. I have to keep resetting it because it will freeze up or just get really laggy. I do know that is an issue that most, if not all, windows phones have a problem with. At least in my own experience. Anyway, it's getting old and I'm thinking of upgrading.
The instinct is really ...
Re: Veriaon and NAshville.......Not good
By the way, I'm not a "professional tie wearing phone geek" that sells phones. I'm an unshaven, phone tech that doesn't tuck in his shirt. I guess you'd think I'm CEO material then, huh?
I fix the phones that people like you take for granted.
You like your Nokia N-series. Great. They're really nice phones. I don't think anyone will dispute that with you.
You sound like some of my customers. The ...
Re: Veriaon and NAshville.......Not good
Wow. So, instead of just saying that you might have hit the "a" instead of the "z" key when typing (an easy and totally understandable mistake) you decided to insult people.
Nice. I'm sure you would make Nokia proud as their unofficial spokes person.
Re: ???????
I'm a tech at a repair store. Our c-sat has been steadily increasing over the last few months (except march, for some reason only had about 10 surveys and they're 4 bad ones).
This month we're above 85% AND have the most surveys in my area. I love reading the verbatims on the repair ones. Only have 2 this month. One guy was mad because we wouldn't do a 30 day exchange for a ...
Re: Instinct is selling like a MOFO
I wasn't going to get the phone and just stick with my Mogul, but when they announced the new price point, i changed my mind.
Too bad i have to wait until they let us employees buy it. It's a nice phone, we've probably sold 40 to 50 in my store already, they usually only last 1 day in inventory.
The best part...only had 1 customer with an issue and it turned out to be their ...
Re: run away. and run away fast!
Insomnia is making me post this.
I'm just curious as to why you and your boyfriend would sign up for Sprint if he knows that he lives in a dead zone.
Thats what really bugs me about this post. The sales rep shouldn't have sold you the service. I will not sing up someone (and have talked people out of singing up for service) if they live in a bad area.
Sprint meeting you ...
Re: SPRINT JUST MADE ME ONE HAPPY CUSTOMER!!!
9 out of 10? Really?
I've been treated as good or better with Sprint than i was with Tmobile, and WAY WAY WAY better than i was EVER treated at VZ.
There are reps that I'd love to just smack in the face for what I've seen them do, but they are in the minority. The majority of reps I've dealt with and have worked with are great. If there was ever an issue ...
Re: Holy Crap People!!!
I agree. It was not the best review. What i have been noticing is that slowly the average consumer is at least starting to become more informed about what they buy.
I understand getting heated, there are some major a-holes on this site that love to start crap whenever possible. They really need to get a life.
I wish we were playing fair too, but were not. It's an uphill battle when ...
Re: Holy Crap People!!!
I saw the video too. I also saw there they missed the press-able area. It happens.
Should they have recognized that when they made the video and review? I think so.
While i may not agree with their review, we did only see 8 minutes of use. What about the rest of the time that they had it?
I have yet to have any errors with the touch screen on our demo Instinct ...
Holy Crap People!!!
Wow. Some of you are acting like this is the end of the world because one website didn't give the phone a glowing review. Get a grip.
Constantly griping about the software "maybe" not being up to date it just making you look stupid.
To the rest of you that are calling it crap: Have you really, actually used it AND tested it out? Comparing this to the Glyde is not a fair ...
Re: do this
Really? Wow.
Well, i drive a Kia and have a Sprint phone.
I happily jump start my friends Honda from time to time and let my friends that have VZ phones use mine to make a call when they don't have service or are dropping calls.
This is an ATT forum question asking how to get out of a contract.
I know that VZ does well in surveys about service, but who does those ...
