Sooo...I just called my local sprint store about if they were having a pre order list like some stores have. The guy who I was speaking with said they were and that they would need to look at my account to see what they can do and I told him I'm not due for a upgrade and I plan on paying full retail and he told me not to waste my time and that they are not selling full retail iPhones and that sprint is not making no money cause I am buying in at full retail ( which I'm sure is true). But that is so rude for him to say that to me. I'm sure Tmo, Verizon and AT&T aren't rejecting people from paying full price if they choose because that retaining customers. 

 

I thought Id share that 2 min phone call.

When I worked for a 3rd party last year we did this too. We make more off adding lines than selling full outright. Both as a company and employee.

The day after they may be more lenient on selling you a full retail phone if they have any in stock.

Do I agree with this? No. Does it make sense for the company? Yes.

Lease is only for the base model.

Shift update worked for my phone as well. No glitches on my end yet.

 

Anyone planning on getting the 6?

Wait so there is a list I can sign???

My local corporate store says they're starting a list. First come first serve to get put on the list and then they'll hold a phone for you. According to him they're only going to get 10 or so on launch day so I wanna make sure I get one. I'm in a smaller town so who knows how other cities and what not will be doing it.

When I was at a third party store last year we did first come first serve on launch without the list the week before. It was kinda chaotic since we only had 3 phones and we had to order the rest.

At least you won't have to deal with all the crazies at the Apple Store or Sprint store.

I plan on going to put my name on the list for a phone on Friday and hopefully I'll be first. Be in and out before all the crazies wake up. Lol.

Ups/fedex will hold the shipment and send it out for delivery on September 19th. You won't get it early.

Damn. That sucks.

If I preorder online does anyone have an idea of when I would see it on my doorstep? Earlier than next Friday?

I would take that with a huge grain of salt.

 

I am sure it is no doubt possible with using EASYPAY, but not with iphone for life.

 

Besides, what is the point of early upgrades, if there is no new iphone to upgrade to?

Oh I am. I'm not worried about upgrading a month from now. I would just like the option to be able to get the 6S when it comes out next year instead of being locked in.

I doubt it, it is what says it is; you are leasing an iphone for 2 years, you get a new iphone every 2 years.

 

not getting an iphone every 2 years + early upgrades

Figured as much. I didn't know if anyone else's wheels were turning like mine so I figured I would ask.

 

Edit. I just asked care over chat and they said it is possible as long as you pay the $5 a month.

If the Iphone for life plan is really the individual plan just discounted does that mean that you can pay the $5 extra a month to be able to upgrade early? If so I'm about to be allover this plan,

The original moto was already awesome on battery. I see this one being pretty good as well. I haven't looked at specs so this all just my experience on using the previous version.

Which Galaxy? I remember on some of the older Android devices, they didn't come with emoji's preinstalled or something like that, and emoji's would come up as some weird bunch of text on them.

Galaxy S4.

Sort of related to the topic. When I send emoji in a text my girlfriend will get the text of what I said but all spaced out. Has anyone else seen this? She's on a galaxy and me on the iPhone. It's not very often that I send an emoji but when I do it always seems to come out weird. She's noticed this from other iPhone users too. Not just myself.

Are you stock? If you are and are running 4.4.4 then you already have the latest radio. You can check the radio version in Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version. The latest is 2.0.50.1.16.

Stock rooted running Franco. It's the radio I'm already on so I guess I'm good to go.

I've been away from my nexus for awhile and I just activated it again. I'm curious what radio is the radio to have now. I'm in the Milwaukee market so I have B26 pretty much everywhere I go and would like to be able to actually use my phone instead of outright speed when standing right under the tower. Opinions?

Do you think the 5s has more resale value between now and release day, or after?

I would think it would hold steady til maybe a month or so after. Prices will inflate from people selling them for more than they're worth to fund the new IP6. This is how I figure it in my mind. Since I haven't followed Apple too closely til late I can't really be 100%.

I'm not on the beta, but when I had that on iOS 6 I fixed it by signing out of iCloud and back in.

Tried it.

I actually haven't had the issue now since last night. I downloaded all the software and what not to do it this morning but haven't found a need to. I did forget to sign out of my Game Center and back in under the new password so I think this may have been what resolved it for me for now. Time will tell.

I'll give it a shot tonight or tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the help.

Is it something that makes the device unusable? Or is it just annoying? If it's the latter, you may just have to wait it out until beta 6 if you don't want to do a Restore.

Extremely annoying. I would rather resolve the issue then let it be as much as I don't want to do a restore.

Am I correct that I have to go to iOS 7 and then back up again since I'm not a developer? Or is there some other way?

It happened to me on one of the earlier beta versions, but stopped after I entered in my info a couple times. Hasn't happened since. Have you tried a soft reset?

 

-Anthony

Yep. Soft reset as well. I've entered it at least a few dozen times total over the last 2 days or so.

I'm trying to avoid a hard reset cuz last time I had to go back down to iOS 7 and then back up.

Anyone else having issues with iCloud asking for sign in info over and over and over again. I logged out and then logged back in. Changed my password. Checked all the settings to make sure it looked right and nearly every time I unlock my phone it asks for my password again.

Edit. This is on an iPhone 5s with beta 5 installed.

I got the Sprint Zone update already. Attached is what I see. Screenshot_2014-08-03-20-45-32.png

Clear the app data for the sprint zone app. Problem solved. Or should be. I've seen it fix the issue before.

Beta 5 is working fine for me. My phone seems to be a lot smoother and runs pretty flawlessly. Of course this after only a few hours of testing.

The keyboard seems to be picking me up a lot better too. No more having to go back and correct myself a few times a text message. If it stays like this I will be one happy camper.

Beta 4 is the newest beta.

Well damn. Haha. Good to know. I've been looking all over for 5. No wonder why I couldn't find it.

One thing I have noticed on beta though is that I get ghost notifications. My phone will sound off and vibrate and there won't be a notification at all.

Anyone else getting this or am I the odd man out?
