Re: Battery Problems
Dread_99 said:
As long as you have a picture messaging package and you are sending from the phone (not from a website ie. myspace, email, ect.) then it will not charge casual data. If you restrict internet access then you would also disable the ability to send/receive picture mail.
Also if you download the picture that you have recieved from the picture mail website to your phone, that is using data as well to do the transfer. So without the data ...
Re: HTC, another powerful but useless phone
This phone is the first phone put out without the help of UTStarcom. On any of the other HTC phones, you will see the UTStarcom logo on it somewhere or during startup on the phone. This is the first phone put out by HTC without the help of UTStarcom, as per the HTC representitive for the mountain west area.
Palm's next updates for the Pre (continued for copy and paste thread)
Copying and pasting to forward a text message is just one of the things that is on the top of Palm's To-Do list. I spoke with the Palm representitive a few days ago and he said that Palm is aware of users that want to use this feature and they will add it shortly, along with being able to use voice dialing, forwarding text messages to multiple users, and updating the software so the video camera is functionable. The ...
Re: Ringtones
Yes and no. The only phones that allow you to set a ringtone directly from you computer on to your memory card as a ringtone are PDA devices. More accurately the Blackberry. However if you have a data plan you can send the MP3's through a site called Funformobile.com and they will convert it into a ringtone and even send it to your phone for you, all for free. Just keep in mind you do need a data plan ...
Re: WOW! 526 MHz without Touchscreen!
Watch out for HTC within the next year or so. They are slowly becoming a powerhouse in the cell phone industry. With UTStarcom's help, I have a feeling they will skyrocket to the top.
Re: HTC, another powerful but useless phone
Take a look at one of them in a store. This device is the first one actually put out by HTC and not UTStarcom. The keyboard is very easy to use it is the first device to incorporate what is called the "Inner Circle". This is basically a list of people whose e-mails you actually CARE about recieving on your phone. For most, we get junk and spam and emails from our boss that we don't want at 3am. ...
Good little device!
This phone was made for those who still want features, but don't want a full keyboard. The slide is the same type as the on that is on the new Rumor 2 (The Rumor 2 fixed the original problems with the Rumor). The slide is easy to use and it feels great in your hand because of the slim design. I have a feeling this phone will be around for a while.
HUGE screen and great features
If you want a phone that is great for the internet but does not have the complexity of a PDA, then this is the way to go. Yes, the deivce is bigger but that also means that you get a bigger screen.
Worried about a dual slide? This same hardware for the slide has been used in European conutries for the past 6-9 months and has proven to be reliable.
The keys are spaced out for easy texting, there is ...
Re: recession
Yes they are doing something right. Advertising. Whereas Sprint has focused more on customer service and retention, Verizon continues to advertise but keeps their prices high. Comparitivly, Verizon and Sprint have almost the exact same coverage, only Sprint offers TWICE the data speeds of Verizon at a cheaper price. Obvisouly I have a bias, but that was as objective as I could be. :D

Re: I'm torn between the Centro and the HTC Touch
We have no idea actually. I know they recently came out with an update for the HTC Mogul, but don't know when its going to be on the centro. Yes the nav is included in the simply everything plan it just doesn't work with palm right now. Oh and I hate the Touch. Its too slow. Never been on myspace on either phone but i know on my pearl it works great.
Re: Rumor + Ringtones
MP3's ae gonna work the best but my recommendation is to submit them through funformobile.com so that it you can get it sent to your phone. If you just put the song into your memory card, it will only play on your music player and you can't set it as a ringtone. Unless you just buy it from the Sprint website, then its compatible with almost everything.

Re: locked fone
Original lock code is the last 4 of your phone number. If that doesn't work, take it into a Sprint store and have them master reset it. After that, they just have to reprogram it and its reset to the last 4 of the phone number. Good luck!

Re: usb mode
Pull the battery. If that doesn't work, it could be a phone issue. Did it just randomly pop on to USB mode? Or what were you doing when it happened?
Re: Spam filter for Blackberry Pearl 8130
Not that i'm aware of. The push technology just pushes whatever you get on youe email to your phone so there's no way to filter content unless it's done on your server.

Re: Call Log???
There's an option to either view all calls that you have made, or you can view it by which numbers called and when only. So for example, if I call 555-5555 13 times, it would show up on the view all calls setting 13 times. On the other setting, it would just show when you last called that person, but only show it once.

Re: extended battery
Not that we have gotten in yet. I just searched Sprint's corporate warehouse and looks like there's nothing yet. Either they don't make them, or Sprint hasn't purchased any from the manufacturor yet. Sorry!

Re: Music store problem
Do you have the web on the phone? If so, is that working? And what type of memory card is it? You might need to format it or it could be with that phone that it needs to save the music to a different location on the card. Some phones access the music through the "MEDIA" file, others through the "Music" file. Try changing the location of where the music is stored and seeif that helps. Also if you ...
Re: GPS anyone
GPS isn't available yet. We're told there's going to be a software update for it soon but nothing yet. And as fas as the phone goes, head into a store and see if mind not having a keyboard. The guys that ndon't mind touching it instead of having a physical key to press really like this phone. Those that are lets say going from a Treo have trouble adapting to the keyboard. Other than that, it's a great phone.
Re: Silent Mode Stuck On?
If you haven't already tried restoring your phone setting to the default I would. My friend has the same problem with the Upd=stage. It was a specific ringtone that the phone didnt like. So if you recently downloaded a non-Sprint ringtone, that could somehow be causing an error with the phone, even if it isnt assigned to anything. It could also be a 3rd party program as well. If the reset (which is under security) doesn't fix the problem, ...
Re: How do I find my LOCK CODE?
The lock code to get into your security features or your master service code? The master service code isn't given to customers but any sprint corporate store will be able to help you reset your phone. Your lock code (as in on your security settings) is the last 4 of your phone number, unless you have changed it to something else.

Re: Pearl or Google Phone
Yeah 1st generation phones always come with a world of problems for a select few. Its like buying a car. Always wait till the 2nd or 3rd generation comes out. :D
Re: This might be...
If you really wanna know what this firmware upgrade was supposed to be for, there was a batch of Sprint LG Rumor phones that Sprint tried to keep quiet about. They left the programming/Service Menu opened when they installed the software on this specific batch of phones on accident. Users could accidently press a series of buttons that would put the phone into "panic mode" and would basically fry the phone from being used. The only way to fix ...
Nextel specs on a Sprint phone
Basic, the most durable phone ever made by Sprint, and easy to use. This phone gets my vote. Every time we get a new shipment in, these phones go out fast. I just had a company buy 10 of them and so far no problems. I'll keep this thread updated if I come across any problems but so far, good as gold. We are just starting to see the real advantages of the Sprint-Nextel merger.
Re: Memory Card
It can cause your appliactions to run slower (lag), cause you to lose signal strength, drop calls, all sorts of fun things. I have seen all of the above and all of the problems were fixed by putting in the 1GB card or lower.
Re: launch pad on phone side
It wasn't designed to be able to do that on the phone. It was designed to be a media player so you leave your iPod at home and start using your phone. Atleast that's what the goal was.
Re: Speaker
Well you're comparing apples to oranges here. The Katana was never meant to be an mp3 player phone so when users downloaded MP3 songs to the Katana, it sisn't get loud like the MP3 player phones. The Katana serves the purpose for which it was designed. Being a great phone but not an MP3 player.
The 610 vs the 620
The Upstage is meant to be something along the lines of the Fusic's "upstage". It ...
Re: Memory Card
The M500 will take up to the 1GB card but it's not Sprint recommened to go above that. I do know that the new Samsung Upstage is compatible with the 2GB card but that's the only one so far. Theoretically, all phones can take the 2GB card but it can cause problems with the phone.
Re: whats the point?!?
Upgraded software, but no camera. It does seem like a bit of a jump backwards. I rarely run across people that want a phone without a camera in it. It is a bit more sturdy when it comes to the "joints" on the phone but other than that I don't know.
Re: Helio Ocean
From what I was told, Sprint doesn't put out a whole lot of slider type phones because of durability issues. You all remember the A940? Yes. Perfect example. A phone that rotated...and shattered when you dropped it while it was open.
Re: RIP
:cry: My ex-store #3028 closes at the end of the month. Please don't grieve for me. For I have moved on to a closer location which has more volume.
Re: Help with Bluetooth
Unfortunantly the only thing I can think of is to take it to a service and repair center and have them take a look at it. There is also a feature on your phone that you could try. If you haven't done it recently, go to Tools-Update Phone. It should say "Checking for updates" for about 2 minutes or so and then tell you if there is an update or not. Most of the time the updates fiz known ...
Re: Hi, 2 quick questions. Please help.
Yes you can recieve calls when you're using your MP3 player. It will just stop the application and start the song over again once the call is finished. Don;t know about the jack. I've never heard of it being done like that before. I think the connection is smaller than 2.5mm.
Re: Text Messages - Pls help!
Speed typing a message can be as fast if you get used to the predictive text (or T9 as its called)
There is a feature called wireless backup that you can pay $2 a month for that backups your contacts wirelessly. It's called Wireless Backup. You can access it on your phone from Settings - Wireless Backup - Subscribe. If something ever does happen to your phone, Sprint can send your contacts again.
Re: two qusetions
No, the Katana does not have a built in flash in it.
You can regulate how long the backlight stays on for the your main display snd the keypad but not on the sub lcd. Settings - display - backlight
Re: mp3's quiet as a mouse?
The Katana was not meant to be an MP3 playing phone. Even the ringtones from Sprint.com are quiet unless you get the polyphonic or the MIDI format. That is my biggest complaint with the phone is that it doesn't get loud enough even when you download them from Sprint.com. You're better off just sticking to the ringtones that aren't the real song. The MIDI's and the polyphonic ones. The good news is they're cheaper to buy. :D
Re: One year agreements
HAHA! Well in response to that again, Meyman is right on a couple issues but exaggerates only slightly. :P The 1 year agreement is only available with certain minute plans. If you have a buisness account (Which is what government plans are) you aren't eligable for the one year contract. The reason for this is because government contracts already recieve a monthly service discount.
The free after 7pm night and weekends option is for ...
Re: downloading content
Basically you buy the rights to that ringtone for 90 days but you can keep it on your phone for as long as you like. It won't just delete itself after the 90 day period.
Re: Text Messages - Please help - any info is better than none....
Meyman is right. Sprint does not provide drives to be able to sync your phonebook entries to your computer. However, Sprint does provide a wireless backup program for you to sync your contacts to the web in event that something happens to your phone. Maybe not the solution you were looking for but it may help.
Re: Way to send/receive fax?
Using the phone-as-modem is an extra service with requires an agreement of 2 years just on that service so I don't recommend it. There's a few problems with phone as a modem. 1. You can't make or recieve calls while it's connected to phone-as-modem. 2. It drains you battery 3. You can't plug in your phone to a charger when using it as a modem (a select few phones excluded) I recommend looking into the Sprint air cards. Speeds ...
