[Q] Call back ringer - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey can i do a caller ringtone? like they hear a song when they call?

I think you would set that up with the carrier. I saw it on metro pcs I don't know about sprint though.
cd's or tapes?

I think verizon does it too... but sprint doesn't I don't think. Unless they recently did it.

He's talking about Call Tones, not ringtones. I know you could when I had the instinct, because they had like a sprint store with them. Call sprint and find out.

Evo 4G

Hey guys I have found a Evo4g at work in pristine condition. Could I sell it or is it no good? I see that these Sprint phones don't take a sim card. So I wasnt sure if it would work unless it was purchased from store? Thanks guys!

I suggest you turn it in to your workplace's lost & found department. An EVO 4G is not a device that people will discard as trash. I'd like to believe someone is looking for it. If it's unlocked, peruse the contact list and make some calls to determine its owner.

You should turn that into someone, a supervisor...ect. SOMEONE is looking for that phone because...its a beautiful device. Mine got stolen [still don't know how] and I moved hell and high water for that thing. That person will really appreciate, and like dougjamal suggested, if unlocked, use the call log, make some calls to find out who's it is.

Seriously? You find someone else's property and you want to SELL it?!?!
Wow. It is amazing how society has fallen...
And let me tell you something about CDMA....
The phone is linked to the account through the ESN number... if he reports it lost/stolen, and you try to activate it, expect trouble.
Calm down... I found it over a week ago... I did turn it in to my supervisor and they called me up there and did paper work because no one claimed it. Alot of people in and out of plant traveling.... No contacts in it... What else to do?

Well...I guess hold onto it, and ask around for another week...
I would recommend leaving it with the supervisor/manager in the department you found it in, because it'd be most likely that person would turn to them to check. Also it keeps you out of liability if "something happened to the phone."
Yea your probably right. I would want my Glacier. Ima call sprint see if they knows who it is...

Lol
1. Pull the battery and find the ESN
2. CALL SPRINT tell them exactly what happened especially the policy for your company waiting a week for it's owner to return.
OPTION 2. CALL SPRINT and ask them if the ESN is clear. If it is your in the clear as well.

From the home screen, press menu > settings > about phone at the bottom > status, and it'll list the device phone number. Tell it to the sprint rep and they should be able to direct you to a person from there, also the MEID number if they ask for it.
I was wondering about this a few months ago when I moved over to Sprint. I signed up with the Shift and decided after it had shipped I didn't like the keyboard so I went to a store and swapped it. The guy accidentally put it in my bag still with my Evo box and I didn't see it until I got home. Being the nice person I am I returned it next business day on the "low", incase he might get in trouble, but I know for a split second I was wondering how much I could craigslist it for.

[Q] No dial tone?

For the past hour, I've been trying to make a call and I can't get a dial tone. I got it to go through once, but no it won't. It just makes a blaring "BOOP BOOP BOOP" sound, idk how to explain it xD,
But has anyone else gotten it? Is it a problem with Sprint, or is my modem broken or something? I have no idea why this is happening.
Thanks.
Come on, someone please respond
What modem are you on?
Sent from Godot's place.
Me too!!! I try to call out and after about 20 - 30 seconds I get a fast busy signal. I can receive calls no problem.
I DO have Google Voice active on my account...
EDIT:
Just disabled GV and now it's all good. Google must be having problems.
Sounds like a network problem with sprint. You could try flashing a dif modem or even odining to stock but imo it sounds like a network issue on sprints end. Try calling customer service.

In my case it is an issue w/ Sprint and GV. I disabled GV on my account and presto, I could make calls again.
Of course, this was after flashing a couple of different modems... sigh.
Normally I try not to feed the trolls and wasn't even thinking when I wrote it but I guess it goes to show you can learn new words when trolling other devices forums. Maybe you should thanks me for increasing your vocabulary. ;-)

Both my wife's and my phone are doing the same thing. I spent a good 30 minutes on the phone with customer support. Interestingly, I was able to get it to work for about 5 minutes by dialing *740 (but not pressing talk) then rebooting the phone. The CS rep said it had something to do with "call forwarding being enabled" for whatever that's worth. I immediately asked if it was related to the GV integration being setup on both lines and she said no (but in my head I'm thinking, yeah right).
I did notice that my PRL was the "older" one and I just did a PRL update on my phone, but that didn't fix anything.
If you disable GV integration, can I just re-enable it later when they fix this? Is there any delay in switching GV on/off the account?
It worked instantly for me. As for turning it back on, I've done it a few times in the past.

I was luck and able to unload mine for $350 but i think the only reason i got that was because I had flashed it to Boost Mobile. If not for that I wouldn't have gotten that much.
I still have my evo 3d and just got the epic..I think im gonna switch back. Not that the epic is t nice but it really isnt all that much better than the e3d IMO ...the camera is much better. Also my epic isn't playing nice with my airave and constantly making beeping noises through the earpiece ..its driving me nuts ...and I miss sense honestly ..

It is normal for 3 beeps to sound when you connect to an airave.
took me two weeks to sell my 3d. people just do not want that thing. on top of that, i only got 275 for it.
Good luck on the trade, but I cant see anyone in their right mind that would trade a s2 for a 3d.

I know that I have had a airwave for years ..the noise I'm talking about is four low beeps from the earpiece when the phone is not being used or if I'm doing anything on the phone ..if I'm listening to music or watching a video it will make the noise and mute the media until its done beeping ...also it wont let me text while in range of the airrave.

How much are u selling it for outright? My wife likes the phone.
The Evo3D Killer!!!
People over here act like the evo 3d is a terrible phone ..that's ridiculous ..I enjoyed it alot ..I will say that I think the epic speaker is louder., with headphones attached it is wayyy louder ..the camera is better ..but besides that with every day use I think they are both top of the line ..I wish I could put sense on this bad boy and it would be perfect ..I dont forsee a y software that either of these devices won't be able to handle for a while to come..and let me ask you guys something ..when. on the internet with the epic do you guys get checker boarding? Like even right now I scroll fast up or down it will give me black and white checker boards ..never happened on my other devices ..is this normal or am I having a issue

switch to newer et4g

I just bought a new epic touch 4g for my sister using my add a line option for .01 cent. what i was wondering if there was a way for me to switch my line to the newer phone and give my sister the one im currently using without having to go through sprint. thanks with any help.

You can easily do esn swaps on sprint.com. I assume when you say not sealing with sprint, you mean not calling or visiting in person. Look for the activate new phone option when logged into your account
thanks for your info.the phone arrived today and when i turned it on it automatically activated. is the way u just told me about still an option or do i need to do something diff now that its already activated?

You can do the esn swap online. However since both phones are activated you will need a extra Sprint phone to clear off the esn for the system to activate the phones.

I did exactly this a couple of weeks ago. You don't have to go to the Sprint store. Just call them and they'll do it over the phone. They have to set something up on their side and then they ask you to do some things on the phones and you're all set. My suggestion is that you call them from a phone that is not one of the two that you're trying to swap because you'll have to do stuff to your phones.
Like I said he can do this himself if he really wants to. I do it all the time and its faster then calling Sprint. He will just need a extra Sprint phone that's not being used to free up the phones he wants to swap. For example when I got the first Evo and added a line and got the Epic here's what I did. Swapped Evo to Palm Pre, then I swapped the Epic to Evo, and finally Palm Pre to Epic.. And the stuff Sprint tells you to program is given to you on the site and in a back up email just in case.
