**(Insert Here) Phone Number? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Anyone hear about this yet?
http://goo.gl/9JHxP
With StarStar Me, you can use your name, nickname, or handle as your phone number. Instead of giving out 10 hard-to-remember digits, provide the people you meet with a memorable mobile number, like **SARAH, that distinguishes you from the crowd.
To sign up for StarStar Me, Sprint customers can simply call **ME (**63). The service costs $2.99/month per StarStar Me number. Sprint subscribers can have two StarStar Me numbers per mobile phone number.

I can only imagine how some will use this feature lol

This would have been cool in 1995. We have infinite contact lists these days. Besides, this only works on Sprint for now. Who actually dials phone numbers anymore except for the one time initially creating the contact? This is especially true now that we have portable numbers.

Looking for XDA guy from Craigslist: I bought a Galaxy S2 from you

Hopefully this isn't against the forum rules.
I'm looking for someone, I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 from you off Craigslist yesterday. We were supposed to meet up today so I could pick up the box and accessories but I realized now that you don't have a phone anymore, I don't know how to reach you. You gave me your XDA username in case I needed to reach you but I'm an idiot and forgot it.
If you see this, could you PM me so I could get the box, the case piece, the receipt, charger, and extra battery from you?
Thanks
LOL and good luck.
If he sold you the phone I doubt he's in these forums any more.
Hercules Hercules!!
Do a search for his name...lawl missed that you lost his name.
this is literally the good'ol "looking for a needle in a haystack"
good luck buddy
i hope you haven't pay him yet
Yep, hope you didn't pay yet. Sounds like you hv the phone already though?

Lol, well, I paid him already.
But I do already have the phone, and the case, and the extra screen protector.
The box/receipt/extra part for the case/USB charger/extra battery seems like a weird thing to rip someone off over.
Heh, maybe I'll wait until tomorrow before I go nuts. From his XDA user name I found his Twitter and Google Plus accounts and contacted him on all of them. He's pretty active on XDA.
On the downside, he did mention when I met him yesterday he was leaving the country on Saturday....
On the other downside, he did mention on his Twitter dropping his phone and it slipping under the wheel of a car right before I bought it from him....
Lol. You're kidding right?

If there's one silver lining to my situation, I suppose it's that it seems to be bringing joy to the people of this thread.
Sadly, everything I stated is true.
Wow, this story just gets better and better. Lucky for you, you can always do a warranty exchange if something is wrong with the phone.
Good luck!

Even though he sold you his phone, didn't he keep his sim card? his number should be unchanged...... unless he just totally went off the radar and decided he didn't need a cell phone anymore or switched providers without porting the number.

FREE flip cover and tectiles from Samsung![U.S. versions]

According to the thread search feature this was posted in AT&T Galaxy Note and Verizon Galaxy S III general but not here so I thought i'd share
Samsung is giving away a 'care package' with a free flip cover and 6 free NFC tectiles. Enter quick, only 12,100 people will get them.
Flip covers are kind of ugly but it's free. You can choose lime green, orange, light blue or pink.
Requirements:
- Facebook account
- Brain
- Samsung Galaxy S III or Note II U.S. version(Have to enter IMEI)
Click here:
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA/app_314499095294546?app_data=registerDevice
Give the app permission to access your account. If you're paranoid set its permission to 'Only me'.
Register your device using REAL info since they're mailing it to you. After registration you'll receive an e-mail thanking you for registering. In it there's a link to the freebies and a 50% off entire purchase at the Samsung accessories store coupon.
Posted this in general because everyone deserves this deal and it's time sensitive.
I already did this and cant wait to receive it.

Same. Samsung really did a good job here of making me feel like a valued customer instead of a number, even though in the grand scheme of things I still am.
Also really always wanted to try out the flip case but 45$ was a little steep.
What color flip cover did you get? I thought the light blue was a little too light so I went with the orange. Hopefully I won't regret it.

Agreed, I bought it the moment I tried it out and never looked back. Totally worth it.

Actually their anti piracy replies were quite on point. How would you feel if you were the developer of the app and everybody just stole it from you instead of paying for your hard work? Bottom line piracy is WRONG.
Back on topic, does anybody know of a free Bluetooth alternative to tablet talk?

the rules aren't the problem....first the suggestion to actually go pirate an app (WTF are you thinking even saying that on xda)
then the arguing about "can't afford to pay" "visa card" etc etc....it applies to everyone at the end of the day not just people arguing the right point...but also the person suggesting that idea out loud over the forum

Peeps want to put their 2 feet in, the OP has the answer now job done, every bodies circumstances are different, mentioning how easy it is to get a gift card, top up credit card or whatever is relevant only to the person that suggests it.
Some countries don't accept payment, some won't allow you to buy, and for the record....I pay my way, but if I never had any money and need something, I'll blatantly take it. Don't have a problem mentioning that, but apps are 2 a penny, if there is a free alternative get one with ads.

[FIX]Sprint Call Quality

Here is a workaround that seemed to help the call quality issues I have been having and a lot of others have been having.
You will need your MSL for this.
Go to the Dialer
Type in ##3282#
Tap More
Tap Advanced
Tap Edit and enter the handset MSL
Tap EVRC_B
Set the option to Disable
Tap the Back Key and the device will Power-cycle
Now this is just a workaround. This isn't a solution. LG/Sprint should be releasing a software update to fix the issue.
Let me know if this works for you.
Cool, just applied this. What exactly is evrc_b?

The reason its better quality is cause of the bandwidth requirements of this codec vs the stock one. Also for HD voice to actually work, you need to be talking to another person with a HD voice capable device. i.e. G2 to One.
Thank you!!!!! I can actually have a phone convo now ?

Gotta try this on my wife's phone tonight. I had to do this on my note 3 until Samsung patched it. This leads me to believe all new phones on sprint will have this issue due to the tower upgrades. I see the galaxy mega has this issue I believe.
Hopefully LG issues an update. We shouldn't have to go through service menus to fix our phones.
