my galaxy s ii was stolen today at school and i was wondering if they will give me a new phone for free or will i have to pay full price again for a new one, I have insurance. Or can they like use the Satellite to track the phone down so they can give it back to me?
you will have to pay the deductible which is like $140 or something like that...
if you have the higher insurance it has remote tracking...i have never seen anyone go that route though and i would imagine the chances of recovering it are slim to none
If you call your number 69 times the phone will self combustion, causing severe 3rd degree Burns to the thief. Simply wait at the local ER and take the next burn victim to your local authorities.

the good thing about tracking through the tmobile insurance way is that they do it on their end right? its not reliant on an app that you downloaded...but i doubt that they will recover it though..its probably more if you left it somewhere, they could remind you of the area you were in or something
ive never used that method so im just guessing here

yep...the basic one is like $5
so you should probably call them asap and ask them about tracking it and see how that works
and the deductible is $130..i just checked
Try loading prey on it. You can do it from your cpu and it will tell you where the phone is.

why not call tmobile and track it already? you already pay like an extra $2/month for it...and if its an even half-way decent method of tracking...it should be just as good if not better than most of the locator apps you can download since you are doing it through the carrier

I just realized I qualified for an upgrade since april. I was thinking it was in augest.
Anyway, I wanna buy a new phone. I really don't want to sell my epic because I love it and I just want a new phone to keep on the side and not to actually use. So my number would stay on the epic and I would get a newer phone for my music and games and stuff. I don't think anyone would do this but I am lol I need my keyboard.
So I was thinking gs3 or epic touch.
But just incase I have to pay an amount of money that I don't have and I would have to give up my epic to get a newer phone would sprint buy this phone from me for a reasonable price? Like let's say $100?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I think Sprint will give your around $30-35 dollars.
You will get much more if you sell it online or some such.
You can use your upgrade to get a new Phone, probably around $200, and just not activate it, and then you can keep using your Epic.
Thanks said, if your Epic is in working order, and has a clean ESN, I would give you $100 for it.

Ya I was thinking I may sell it online. And I also have an extra battery for it. Its the same as its stock one.
I'm going to go to the sprint store sometime soon and see what phones they have there and what they offer.
if I have to sell my phone to get a new one I may sell it for about $100. Ill let you know if you want it. And yes its in perfect condition I don't remember dropping it not even once and everything works.

After you activate a new/upgrade account, that phone must remain active on that line for 6 months. (might be 3) This is why I use GVoice. I have 4 lines and me and wifey trade up renewals with 2 of the lines.

Sprint doesn't allow buy backs of any of their devices which have dirty ESNS. Corporate retail employees who do this sort of thing can and will be subjected to disciplinary action of up to and including termination of employment. I know this personally from seeing about half a dozen of employees in our DM's market promoted to customer. You have to remember people that Sprint has a report on just about anything you do in RMS and are able to drill down to employee ID level.
They wanted to give me $60 for mine when I upgraded, but I decided to keep it and try selling it for a little more private.

That's exactly why I don't wanna have to sell this phone I just love it lol.
But seriously if I get an upgrade I have to use that phone for the first 6 months??? I can't believe that cuz they can't just tie me to one phone. What if I bought another phone I'm not allowed to use that?
I was really wanting to buy the g23. But I think the epic touch wouldn't be bad either. And its 100 dollars cheaper. But its a shame that both the epic and the epic touch cost 100 with a new contract lol.

I have just a couple of questions. I just picked up an e4gt and I am going to flash it to Page Plus.
1. I see that I will only achieve 1x with the flash, I don't even remember what a speed difference that is. Is it terrible? I am not a heavy cell data user (most of the time have wifi) but I don't want it to be unusable.
2. Does anyone have info on using a donor phone to get 3g to work on the flashed phone?
Any other users out there that have e4gt on pageplus have any comments? How do you like the setup? I have a droid x2 on pp now and I have enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Usually u need the HA and AAA passwords from the donor to get 3g and then will need the APN settings to get MMS working. However idk if that works with pageplus or if you are limited to 1x only. You will have to Google how to retrieve the passwords tho
We are legion, for we are many.

Thanks Evil,
I appreciate the info. I'm hoping to talk to someone who has done it. I've done some hacking/flashing for a few years, but consider myself more of a dabbler and less of a pioneer. Although I'm willing to try things.

OK well I guess it isn't easy. But if you do your research there a plenty of guides out there. They may not be for page plus but they are for similar cdma carriers and the process is generally the same. Some of the input values are just slightly different.
Edit: I am really considering switching to page plus in the next couple months as I am so sick of virgins horrible data speeds and I miss the reliability of the Verizon network.

I might just save that for when I can get a bad esn galaxy s3 for a good deal and then switch over. I just wish page plus offered a little more data on their $30 and $40 plans. 100MB is pretty slim even with wifi everywhere. However I would have no problem with 500MB a month or even 250MB would be OK for me.

For what its worth of you look at the battery stats it looks like android os is killing alot of battery which is an ice cream sandwich bug. Dont know if it actually does kill as much as it states but. it could indicate something isnt allowing the phone to sleep properly. Hoping an os update will squeeze some more juicr outta this thing also hopng itll kill the overheating issue but well see

Sup people, Im Brian D, just got this phone Wednesday. Came from a HTC Evo4G that was way overdue for upgrade. I absolutely love this phone so far. As stated, the only thing that's not excellent, is the camera, which is decent...but far from awesome.
As far as speed, the phone seems like it knows what I'm gonna do before I even do it...it's so fast it's just crazy. I rooted on the first day, tweeked it a lil bit and did a quadrant test just out of curiosity and got this 7736...mind BLOWN! That is unreal, especially when the max I ever got outta my Evo was around 1200.
Also, my battery life has been excellent so far. Don't know what some of you guys are having issues with. On Eco-mode, and with moderate use aka not TRYING to burn my battery, here is where I am now...with battery left to spare. Overall, I'm loving this phone. It was between the Samsung GS3 and this phone for my upgrade and went with this because of future potential. I'm sure the bootloader will be unlocked soon...too many smart people out there are already trying to make it happen. And once it is unlocked...imagine the possibilities with this monsterous piece of hardware!!

To be honest that means somebody on your plan has an outstanding balance or balance that needs to be paid, I had prob 10 people at one point and no one paid there bills on time , some people didn't understand how the program worked and way over spent it was just a nightmare, so now its me and the wife that's it. I got mine through my outside account and then swapped it on to my line NP as I wasn't able to upgrade but it says it is available through swac accounts. Did the person that your under order it for you or send you the swac link to shop or are you just trying to upgrade on sprint.com ?

Hm, well I do have an outstanding balance for my monthly bill due on the 27th that I was going to pay this weekend. I found out today that the Employee I'm under has to order it for me so he's going to check soon. I have an upgrade, so if I pay my bill will he be able to order it for me? Some people say employees can't get it yet.
My whole story: Ordered HTC Evo 4G LTE on Nov 2. Got it a week after (hit by Sandy :/). Sense is slow and buggy and I love the hardware, hating the software. But since I still was in 14 days and I really really wanted this phone, decided to cancel. Waiting for my return kit for this phone but I need a phone to hold me over when that comes since no one would let me order the Optimus G. So basically, I have the EVO now, and I'm waiting till the G is available. I'll be returning this EVO by Thanksgiving so I really wanted the G by then. If not, I may be phoneless for a couple days since I have no previous Sprint phone as this is my first time with them. Ah well.
I appreciate the insight.
Yea even tho its a lil cheaper advantage lines become a pain in the butt , its easier and almost as cheap to just send friends a link to the referral program

Hey guys,
Sprint just cancelled me for tethering and I'm just gonna go with a Nexus 4G so I want to sell my phone and accessories. I'm pissed I JUST bought my micro sd and anker batteries! The good part is the phone is a week old from an insurance claim so it's immaculate. Anyway, here's what I'm selling:
E4GT rooted w/latest Jellybean leak
2 Anker 1800m batteries w/external charger (also 3 days old)
Aegis Trident case black
Sandisk class 10 32GB micro SD.
What do you think?

Out of curiosity, did they cut you because of the data use from tethering or because of the tethering itself

We can't sell devices on here anymore, sorry bro. Figured I'd let you know before a moderator hit you with an infraction:beer:

He isn't explicitly asking to sell it here. His post is for information on a good price to sell for. He is in the clear as long as he doesn't try to sell it in the forums without moderator permission.

Yeah it wasn't my intention to sell on here. Probably Craig's list. Just trying to get an idea of what I should ask.

To be honest with those accessories and phone being in new condition you could score a good 210 at least and most 240 to 260$ depending on the person. I'm currently selling one for 150$ without accessories and a messed up ear phone jack on craigslist haha.

At first they said excessive roaming, but that was bs because I never leave home. So they investigated further and said it was due to "tethering without a tethering plan." No warning, nothing. I woke up and was shut off this morning. I love downloading full albums and movies. I suppose I could have challenged them for having "unlimited data" but screw it. I'll get a Nexus 4 off contract w/Tmo unlimited 70 bucks a month.

It was probably roaming while they are doing NV upgrades. If it was really for tethering you wouldn't have gotten out etf free. They would have either opted for you to add tethering or would have just added it to your next bill. What tethering app were u using?

I was using the Trevmod Wireless tether for root users. The real crappy part is my wife's epic touch didn't get shutoff (I have a family plan), and the account is mine. Wtf!!! I can at least tether off her for web at least.

Technically they can't tell you were tethering unless you were using the sprint hotspot. They can *claim* you were cuz of desktop protocols, but just tell em your browser on your phone is set to desktop user agent which uses the same protocols as your desktop browser. Most likely you were roaming due to the upgrades going on and whatever carrier you roamed on claimed you were tethering. At least you didn't have to pay the etf.

Being sprint axed you does your phone even have a clean ESN anymore?

I don't see why not. It's not like I owe them money. Here's the REAL funny part. My account was credited my 200 dollar deposit at 5 AM, and they cancelled my line today.

If one was to browse on say the galaxy tab 2 7.0, would it be impossible to tell if a person was tethering than? I'm assuming that the browser on the tab is similar to the browser on a phone, right?

Android to android is even more incognito than android to windows/linux/mac, but the more advanced phone browsers and apps become the harder it is to tell the difference between mobile and desktop data packets. I would say in the next 5 years all internet capable devices will be using almost identical protocols to access the web which means all data would look the same to anyone sniffing packets. I'm grandfathered in on an unlimited tethering plan on my work line and I use upwards of 100GBs a month on it for work and I tether my personal line (same account) to my tablet and laptop and have been for 3 years and sprint never says anything. Between the 5 lines on our account we average 250GB a month.

Just a quick ?, OP have you looked at your usage on sprint.com to see your roaming usage?? Just wondering if Sprint is about to crack down on tethering or if it was roaming which we all know they crack down on. Thanks for any info....and I wouldnt sell for less than $300 BTW but depends how quick you need the cash, think about the fact no one can get an android able to run jb on sprint for under $450 from retail.
