The interesting thing is that this rom intentionally disables data while roaming (you can edit some of the XML files to re-enable it). Is this the new path forward for Sprint?
-
Has there been any more news on that? Will it be like when they killed off Sprint Premier where current subscribers get one last upgrade after the deadline, or will it just be "sucks to be you" for subscribers with renewal dates after the 14th?

What's to stop you from changing the address back after you are in the framily? Also, collections cannot legally seek restitution from others at the same address unless they are cosigners. You can sue them for harassment and violation of the FDCPA if they do (this comes from someone living in an apartment previously occupied by deadbeats).

You should be able to do a ToL to get them on their own account again.

Based on the response on another forum I decided to flash a Verizon PRL to the phone to use on PagePlus. A $10 refill is good for for 120 days (and pays for 200 texts).

Thanks. I swear I'm not making a bomb :-)

I am working on a DIY cellular add-on to a remote car starter (using the remote starter's AUX port connected via Arduino to my phone's headphone jack), and the idea was to have Tasker running on my old Sprint HTC Hero that would trigger the starter when it got a text message from me with a certain keyword. The question is: what is the cheapest way to get my Sprint Hero to receive texts? I don't care about minutes or data, and I'd be looking at a max of 50 or so texts a month. Before anyone suggests FreedomPop, they don't support the Hero yet.

I've always used squaretrade for my phones. With their regular 30% off coupons it's under $100. While that made sense for a $600 phone, I'm not sure I'd get it on a $400 phone (especially since Squaretrade raised their deductable to $99 on all claims, instead of $49 on accidental damage claims only). Whatever you do, don't get the Best Buy plan. The warranty is $200 and there is a $150 claim for anything not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If you even use the plan it would cost $350, which is the price of a brand new phone!

If a hard reset won't fix it then the accelerometer is bad. Note that Sense won't let you rotate the Launcher, but apps like chrome should rotate.
-
Will it let you upload a PRL?

I'm on SERO-P, and was directed by chat to call (888) 876-8381 for a SIM card. I'll try that tonight.
-
It is capable of 800MHz, but not 800 MHz LTE.
-
I'm seeing some 476 in Wilmington, MA, but I can only hold on to it for a few seconds at a time.
-
It's August 1st and my airrave 1.0 is still alive and kicking. I wonder how much longer before it stops working. Any updates on the new model?
-
As for the extra statement fee, I could never get sprint to mail me only one statement. Each month I'd get four or five identical statements. No one at Sprint could fix it, so I finally switched to ebills.

How to Spot Sprint Antennas and RRUs (Alcatel-Lucent)
ahecht replied to lilotimz's topic in Equipment Spotting
My local tower has had LTE for a while now, but I've had trouble connecting for a few weeks so I took a trek down to the tower. The top panels with all the RUUs are typical ALU NV panels that have been there for a while, but the three smaller panels below them are definitely new. Any idea what they are? (Sorry for the crappy picture, I will have to get down there with a real camera soon.)

New Sprint Plans...Unlimited, My Way, My All-In
ahecht replied to Paynefanbro's topic in General Topics
I've never been able to activate a phone online, even when it's just an ESN swap, on my SERO lines. -
That's not a good sign for a quick release.

New Sprint Plans...Unlimited, My Way, My All-In
ahecht replied to Paynefanbro's topic in General Topics
In my experience, even corporate stores won't touch SERO plans. I haven't had any problems recently ordering new phones on my old SERO lines through sprint.com. You just ignore the "plan change" notice and call in to activate when the phone arrives. -
New Sprint Plans...Unlimited, My Way, My All-In
ahecht replied to Paynefanbro's topic in General Topics
Is it just me, or can you not even view the EPRP rate plans without a mysprint account any more? -
Sprint changes their Terms of Service on May 22nd, 2013 to allow them to force migrate customers from WiMAX to LTE. Customers can either [a] finish out their contract on 3g only, get a free LTE device without extending their contract, or [c] cancel without an ETF. This only applies to new contracts started after that date.
-
I can't see a WiMax shutdown happening before May 22nd, 2015 (when the last contracts expire from before they changed their terms of service to allow Sprint to force customers off WiMax).
-
Clearwire has nothing to do with the 4G on your S4. The S2 was the last Samsung WiMax phone.
-
Anyone know when the new version is supposed to be released? If Sprint is going to replace my 1.0, I'd rather wait until the new version comes out.
