[Q] Freezing your account - does it block out any part of the phone?

I'm traveling overseas in September for over half a month and want to call Sprint and get them to freeze my account while I'm gone. I understand the monthly fee is $8.99 (don't know if they will pro-rate it or what) which is much better than paying for that month of service that you hardly use.
Since I'm going out of the country and won't be able to use my EVO, I'm assuming I can freeze my account but still use the phone, just without any mobile wireless capabilities.
The wifi should be able to look up stuff online, check email, and look at Google Maps, correct? I just want to make sure there's not some weird kind of thing that Sprint would lock out all the features of your phone.
Bottom line: you can freeze your account but still use all features besides making calls and sending texts via mobile broadband, right? But all apps (besides GPS) can work off wi-fi, unless the app is specifically designed to use mobile broadband only.
Thank you to anyone who helps!

get you a google voice number and you'll have a phone as long as you're on wifi too

I thought that would be the case too, but GV relies on the phone's non broadband capabilities - so you need mobile broadband/phone line for it to work.
I thought I was being clever and found away to never use minutes by using GV to dial to landlines but that's not the case.

I would venture to say that unless you are traveling somewhere that has cdma coverage, your normal phone related functions won't work anyway since you won't have reception. You really shouldn't need to pay a fee to basically disable the phone portion of your phone since on the evo, you have the option to have the airplane mode exclude wifi from the radios it disables. I traveled to the UK back in april and can attest to the fact that the wifi on my old pre worked without a hitch and I can also confirm that it did not receive signal either so there were no incoming calls or sms messages to worry about. All that said, you shouldn't have any trouble with wifi. As long as you're on wifi, google maps should work just fine as well.

OK thanks, I didn't want to assume anything, because, you know, I really wouldn't be surprised if a company froze more than just sending/receiving texts/calls capability (in addition to web surfing obviously).
I just don't want to pay almost $100 for 2 weeks of service out of the month - so I need to give em a call and see if they can freeze it for 2 weeks and charge me half as much, that way I can save a little cash.

Did you use it through a SIP program or just the GV app by itself? I will have to test it out when I'm there.

Well that would be even better, I do hope you're right!

Any VOIP should work on wi-fi... damn skype and Fring shenanigans... I was so looking forward to that when I deployed... would have made it so much easier to communicate with my wife. (shes not real big on technology and my short fuse of trying to setup/explain how to do new things sucks) lol...
You basically sumed it up, all apps should work fine unless they need specific network support. In my past experiences with deploying for short terms, it was actually just easier to suck it up and pay the bill instead of downgrading service. They don't always get it right and if you end up coming back early it can be a PITA to get it back on..

Thanks, I was thinking about the same thing about it being such a pain in the ass to deal with it as well... and when I finally get back stateside at least I'll definitely have service.

Although Google Voice requires the mobile network for phone, it uses data for sms and I expect mms. So if you had WiFi access you would have texting available.

T-Moble Video Chat by Qik

I didn't see a thread about this, so just wanted to point out that there is now a Qik Video Chat app unique to T-Mobile, presumably for the MyTouch 4G. I did try it on my G2 though, and I can confirm that at least the live streaming works.
I don't have anyone to video chat with, but I have been hearing from other comments that video chats do work on the G2 as well, albeit without the front facing camera.
But for me, I think the live streaming is what is the cool thing here. Glad it works!

Check out Tango. It works and has one for iphone users too.

Can it do live streaming to the web?

You can also use ustream app to broadcast.

I also DL the app but same here dont know anyone that has video chat. PM me and lets see if we ca get it to work

Qik application has been on the Market for months with live streaming to web capabilities

Yeah but the ones on the market didn't give people w/o ffc the option to live stream and actually video chat, just send the video files after u made them. This one for tmobile let's single camera folks go live.

I put this on my wife's and my G2's and when you try to place a call between them, the one initiating the call appears to work, and when you click answer with the other, it kicks you out and back to whatever screen you were on before. but on the initiating phone it still looks like you are connected, the call timer is running, you see can see what you are 'broadcasting' to the other phone in the top left, but there is no voice, or video or real connection between the phones. i tried it vv both ways, my phone to hers and hers to mine.
it doesnt work.

It does work. I got to video chat with my cousin with a evo4. it worked pretty good just some audio lag but its better then i expected

did you try to mimic what jskash said? try placing the call on different phones and see how it works.
how does broadcast to web work? is it to another phone or is it leterally a website people can access when you are connected and broadcasting?

I can back up that I've tried it also with a friend in KC and it does work. It was awesome because we don't get to see eachother often and my kids have never been to her house. She walked all around the house and even showed off the dogs. I got a call and was momentarily paused until I rejected it but it immediately started back up and we continued on for about 20 minutes. The only thing was the sound on my end was a little low, I could hear her but it was a stretch if background noise cameinto play. But yeah, it does work, at least from a G2 to an evo and both ways because first she called me but I had to leave a noisey room and plug in my phone to charge, then I called her and it worked also.

it does work.. my sister has a mt4g and while i was able to see her she was able to see me since we g2 owners dont have ffc

I also tried to go from my g2 to my wifes g2. Same as other poster. Looks good until you answer and then the phone cuts out and the caller looks like they are connected but they are not. Too bad,

This is inaccurate. Simultaneous data and voice is not available unless connected to wifi or 4g. You are able to text and talk. I just had my share today.

Interesting, I thought because of the reasons below you could not text while talking. I just tried sending a text while talking... And it worked! I initially had wifi on, but disabled it during the convo. Tried sending the text again, successfully. Go figure. Maybe texts do go through, but you can't browse.
Sprint uses cdma. Voice uses this network for its transmissions. exts are sent using cdma (1x actually). If you're talking you can't be texting. Now if you're on 4g or wifi, texts may piggy back via that network instead.

I don't remember having a problem doing a text amd talking on the phone. Now I need to try this out.

cool, my wife's epic will allow it sometimes as well, and its been awhile but think before i rooted my evo sometimes i think it let me do it sometimes, i just tried it and it so a no go with evo

K so I'm guessing its a bipolar thing.. that's all I needed to know.. thank you for everyone who helped

Are you sure it isn't saying sent and then sending it after you hangup? read this http://htcsource.com/2010/03/sprint-disables-simultaneous-voice-and-data-for-htc-evo-4g/

I just tried it between my EVO and my blackberry (both on sprint)
I used the evo to call the bb, put them both on speaker and sent text messages between the phones.
On cdma SMS is transferred on the voice channel. If you attach a file and try to send it via SMS it becomes MMS and MMS uses data. I tried that and all I got was sending... when I hung up the voice call the picture was actually sent.

Is data connectivity gone when 4g is in "idle" state?

I have been asking this on Sprint forums for a while, I searched here and didn't really see this issue. It's a pretty concerning issue for me and I'm wondering if it's common because I know it would bother everyone.
My first post was basically saying I wasn't receiving push notifications, after doing some testing I posted this.
Copy/Paste from Sprint forums:
As a follow up:
I have noticed that the data doesn't come through the the 4g is idle.(Zzz)
I tested it with two applications:
Whatsapp, have a friend send me a message with 4g active, message came through. I had the same friend send me one with 4g in idle mode and the message does not come through at all, even if I browse the internet and make 4g idle again, the message will only come through after I open whatsapp again.
Beejive and eBuddy messanging apps: I opened my own account and tested from my PC with the same scenarios as before, I get the same results.
It seems my phone is losing a data connection all together when 4g goes into idle, now this can't be right can it?
Looks like the NS has the same issue:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/70874
This can't be right can it? I mean completely shut off my phones data connection when the 4g radio is sleeping? How does this make sense..
Anyone?

Kinda ... I believe it still works in the background for any app that might need internet connectivity. The time out sucks cause is so short but it is done, I believe, for the purpose of saving battery, like if no app is in need of data then it shuts down. Also, there are codes to make this time-out take longer to kick in, somewhere buried in these threads.

Thanks for the reply. Yea I saw some options, but raising the time out would probably kill my battery.
For now keeping on 3g seems to be my best bet..

Usually when a radio goes to sleep there is something called a rx interrupt that will wake it up when there is a packet received. This is based on my limited experience working with radios as an electrical engineering student. I don't know. how the specific wimax radio in this phone works.

I get this all the time. When driving, I like to listen to shoutcast stations.
If I lose signal for more than like 10 seconds, the 4G idles and never reconnects unless I either toggle 4g off/on or tap a shoutcast station to wake the 4g back on. The 3G struggles to reconnect to the station usually and times out.
It is pretty irritating. My best friend always teases me for getting an android phone over his iPhone 4S PO$ on AT&T. lol

I'm keeping it on 3g right now, that should give you the same speeds of his 4s. I'll turn on 4g when I know I need it. So far 3g hasn't been slow enough for me to even have to turn it on.
I like this phone a lot and considered returning it but there isn't a phone as powerful so I decided to deal with it for now.
I went to sprint but the tech wasn't there, the counter guy tried to tell me it's the same with any 4g phone but I really don't think so. I think people would get rly pissy if messages didn't come in for hours.
I'm going to see the tech and test it with another 4g phone, if it doesn't happen I'll ask him to open a ticket and MAYBE that'll get something done.

there are a few tweaks that you can do in the epst menu that help out with the 4g connection going dormant. let me see if i can find the thread

I looked into setting the "sleep" time to 300 seconds, haven't done it yet but I'd be worried about it sucking my battery too fast.
I just feel it should work in sleep mode and I want to see what other sprint 4g phones do, if it's only with this phone I want to at least try to get it up to Sprint as a bug(event though most likely nothing will happen.
Someone on El13 said they didn't get this behavior in another thread.. I've tested it on stock EG30 and Ek20

Okay, so I'm not crazy. I thought I noticed this on both my OG Epic and the Touch. Mostly for me it manifests in not getting push notifications while on 4G in idle. That's been my main complaint with it. So I mostly don't use it, although I'm rarely anywhere with 4G anyway, so it's irrelevant.

I have not tried gtalk but I think it would have the same issue.
I have tried and all of them fail with the same issue:
Whatsapp
Gmail app (I don't use Samsungs stock email)
Beejive messenger
ebuddy messenger
let me know what you find.. I just can't believe this isn't a big bug - something tells me it might be Samsung's radios.

I went ahead and changed my idle time to 300... The phone doesn't go to zzz anymore so far so that should let me stay on 4g. That should give me 5 hours of the phone not going to sleep so during a normal day I shouldn't have this issue.. Maybe when I'm sleeping I won't see my notifications I will leave it on for now..
My DL speeds with 4g are like 7-8k so that's MUCh better than 3g for me. Also we'll see about battery drain.

Yes I have this problem. I also have the same issue with leaving WIFI on all the time. Everything is delayed unless you just used the phone.

I don't think I have it on wifi. Will test tonight.

John,
Another example of 'push' is using imap with gmail account. I use both k9 and maildroid using the imap connection method. When a message arrives at the google server it should 'push' it to our phones in a short turn around time frame. I've seen this vary from immediate to 45 minutes on the server end. The usage of 'pop' of course is the 'pull' method when polling is necessary.

300 in IdleSleep is actually 5 minutes, not 5 hours (I'm pretty sure the value is in seconds).
That being said, I haven't seen any push notification issues on 4G on EG30 or EL13. I regularly get Gtalk and Gmail notifications all the time while idle on 4G. The only thing that seems slow on push notification is the built in email client. But I'm not sure if that is a client or Hotmail issue. I wonder if your issue is region specific.

From what I read it is minutes.. But that could all be wrong I guess

I just fixed my signal issues.

Wow, this is frustrating. After half a year of thinking that Sprints network sucks and suffering through terrible connections I finally fixed my issue. After an ice storm this week I was getting nothing but a slow 3g connection. Tonight I was digging through ##data# settings and switched the network from "hybrid mode" to "cdma/evdo/lte mode" and the thing connects giving me 1.1 mb/s for download speeds. I thought I was going to have to force LTE only to be able to connect but I have not dropped back to 3g since switching over to this. I wish I would have done this months ago but toggling airplane mode worked to give me my 4g back so I didn't really worry about it.

If I remember from the epic touch days when you mess around with that it doesn't allow you to send MMS or make calls I think. Might be different now.

Same here with sprint's reception in my area and probably 70% of where I usually go out to. My friends have at&t and Verizon and they just blow away speed tests compared to sprint. I'm thinking of giving this a shot when I have some free time

I didn't test mms yet but I made a call right after doing it and it worked. I will put it through some tests. I use google voice anyway so mms goes to email. This website, Whereismycellphone was able to call me.

This has me intrigued. Sometimes I have issues with MMS, and it would be great if I could get all MMS messages that are sent to my phone (stupid group messaging...) to also go to an email box as well.

This is off topic but if you have an exchange account there is an option to sync sms

Sorry it took me a couple days to reply. I wanted to make sure to put it through all the paces. I have had nobody tell me they weren't able to reach me. This has actually been an improvement for me because while I was at home and would receive a phone call I would only hear the ring for about 5 seconds before it sent them to the voicemail. Phone calls are ringing right in now. One thing that happens is I get "darth vader" sounding either on my end or their end after a ten minute conversation or so. Although that happened before I changed this setting when I was stuck on 3g. Network pangs I guess. I am more than happy to call somebody back to have a steady 4g connection. All SMS/MMS questions do not apply to me because of how I use my phone. With google voice those are both going through data instead of messaging in its traditional sense. I LOVE google voice and the extensions to messaging that it provides me like being able to use it on wifi when I have 0 connectivity. I prefer typing out messages through the browser if I am at home because my stupid fingers have problems with hitting the wrong button on touch screen keyboards. Sorry for sounding like an advertisement for GV, lol. Nobody has my real sprint number... I use the GV number so I have extremely easy portability between providers when I decide to move. No mass messages to people with my new number that they might glance over.
Anyway, Hopefully other people have success with what I tried here.
Another thing I am wondering because of people saying they had different settings input. I should have mentioned in the OP that I am currently on TPR 3.12. Are the people who have a different option on a different rom?
