That's way too much work (or better yet, trouble) than it would ever be worth for a moderator to ever want to go through, especially when doing so on a purely volunteer basis. The same thing is accomplished anyway with just 'likes' alone, because those who would otherwise be 'disliked' will only ever have little to no 'likes'. Personally speaking though, I'm actually fine with a forum as well as its posters and their content standing on their own legs and let that be that without any likes or dislikes either one, myself. I'd value the content this site and many of its posters bring just as much if I couldn't 'like' certain posts or see that others did. Everyone has their own unique opinions and ideas about things, and I know in my own mind if I like someone's input or not without having to have it validated through the 'likes' of others. Granted, if the system is there, I'll participate in it too, but it doesn't really add anything to my enjoyment of what I read here that would be missed if it suddenly went away.

If there were dislike buttons here, I'd be significantly less inclined to stick around. Every forum I've been involved with that used such 'negative reinforcement' never came out with 'positive' results from it, and usually it was a detriment to the overall atmosphere of the community over the long run. The only real time such a thing really needs be used in the first place are for people who are obvious cancers to the health of the community to whatever degree, and honestly, that's what having forum moderators is for....to deal with such cancers.

This Is the Song Thread That Never Ends...

Happy to report that while I can't say 100% for certain yet this issue is completely solved on the beta stream, progress is being made. The root cause has definitely been identified; apparently Motorola phones don't report battery statistics correctly (or at least normally compared to other phones) in Android. The dev had found an undocumented workaround previously which worked up till now, but something in the JB update for this phone changed things. When I sent him log files to review, he discovered that the phone wasn't reporting to the app properly in 10% increments, but rather over a 20 second period it reported 70, then 100, then -14 percent (weird I know). He put out a new update on the beta stream the next day, and after I had a ~50 minute work road trip to another office that I tested with (and I made a point to have bluetooth on even though I didn't have another device to pair to), the mapping process didn't halt during that frame of time. My Friday trip 9-10 hour drive to PA will be the true litmus test, but if nothing else, this is definitely progress!

Enjoy your vacation Robert, it's well-deserved sir.

I'm not debating whether or not they're planning on axing them, because no one here knows that for sure, and unless or until they do, it doesn't really matter; all the conjecture or supposition that they're going to at whatever point is completely moot. At some point of course they'll change, and so will the new plans just released eventually whenever they come out with even newer plans, rinse/repeat. Right now, the previous plans are still available for those who care to either ask for them or do a little research, and that's not conjecture, but rather a fact. Those that don't probably never knew about the Everything Data plans to begin with, and will make their decisions based on what they can and do see presented to them online or in stores.

Post #453 in this thread has the links to the previous plans, they're still active online, just not linked to on the website directly any longer: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4184-new-sprint-plansunlimited-my-way-my-all-in/page-23&do=findComment&comment=168505

forward pass

Robert, it might help some folks if this were somehow incorporated into the OP...or otherwise linked and stickied at the top of a new thread somewhere. Just a thought anyway.

As of today I'm officially on the beta stream of the app. I'll be making a trip up to PA next Friday and returning on the 28th, so hopefully with 2 650ish mile trips to try mapping on it'll help the dev figure out what's causing this.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can tell by how the information is displayed on the Sprint location search. if it says simply 'Sprint Store', its a corporate location. If it says 'Sprint Store by XXXXXXX', its not.

Sorry, but remaining objective and rational rather than being a natural pessimist/cynic or an impatient git and jumping to grandiose conclusions does not equate 'worship'. And on another note, since you seem to incessantly require it of other members here in various threads, I think going forward when you make these presumptions you keep throwing out, you should be required to cite a 'link/source' to support factual basis for those presumptions as well....or at least learn how to do so before you knee-jerk whip out that phrase again on anyone else.

Er....why do you want them to drastically increase prices and drive customers away?
