Hi everyone...
I thought I would post this here in the CDMA TP group as I am sure there is where most of your read.. I got a great deal on a US Cellular Touch Pro, but I need the sprint version... I did play withe the USC one, installed the NFSFAN's WM6.5.3 v1.04 TP ROM on it (which is awesome)... I have the box, some accessories, etc.... The phone is in mint to near mint condition (looks brand new).. Anyone have a simmialr condition Sprint TP they would want to trade?
Also, if someone is game, I have a Sprint TP as well (same rom), but cosmetically it is only like a 6 or 7.... I would be willing to trade BOTH phones for something newer, like a TP2... Pics are below..
Sprint one - http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4380917438/
USC one - http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4380916234/
Both w. Accessories - http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4380915016/
Feel free to ask any questions
I'm not an expert
Can't you load the sprint dcd file on the USC Touch Pro and call is good?
They are both CDMA. Right?
Yes, but Sprint will not activate non-sprint phones, no matter what rom and settings you have on it...
Have you thought of just swapping the keyboard and screen from the USC one onto the sprint one? That way you have the nicer screen and the sprint mainboard thus using it on Sprint without issues. Unless you are trying to get a TP2 this might be an option for you. If not then you might just look at selling both of them on ebay and then use the money towards a TP2.
This is just a thought though.
I did consider switching the mainboards.... But wouldn;t that be a lot of work? If not I would do that in an instant....
Then I would give the one in the more used condition to my son.... I gave him his first HTC for christmas to use as a skype phone... It was a mint condition HTC Titan (Mogul)... It works great for Skype.. But his brother has a fuze that he uses on GoPhone, I have a Fuze I use on Einstein Wireless, andmy spouce has the Sprint Touch Pro... so I could make both my spouce and son happy if I can jsut switch the board... I will do some searching later tonight about that...
I would do the sale of both phones indivigual and use hte money for hte TP2... but we use the one sprint TP as the everyday caller.. so we would need to switch at the same time or get some loaner phone... thansk for the idea though
I have a sprint one but the esn is bad. As of right now it's activated with MetroPCS.
well, I would need a good esn.. lol
got ya. wasn't sure of the purpose.
but i will say ebay is a nice place. i recently got $86 for a beat up crackberry curve. and tp's are running about $120 for okay/poor condition. so you might be able to squeeze out more. plus ebay has that whole list 5 for free. you still have to pay like 8% of whatever your bid wins but I find it a good deal.
I currently have a nexus one on tmoble but am paying way too much for service. I am greatly considering switching to Virgin Mobile's $25 plan with an new Optimus V. I am currently paying $80 a month for 500min (which i only use about 200) with unlimited text and web and my service is not that great. So has anyone switched from a nexus one to the optimus or currently owns both and would like to give me input or the differences in screen/performace/battery life. I really do love my nexus but cant justify paying $80 a month for something i can get for $25. Any input would be appreciated. Also i had a mytouch 3g before this and i really didnt like that phone,too slow.
Thanks
This is my first post and its a rather stupid one too but what the heck, Im trying to help my buddy out here so im going the distance!
So ive got a friend that lives in an area where only VERIZON delivers a 3g signal and right now he is using some crappy flip phone on the UNL. prepaid plan with verizon. He doesnt want a contract but has had VERIZON post paid in the past so i was trying to see if there was a process where an android phone could be used on his plan WITH working internet without having to increase his montly cost but if not then just the wifi feature and better camera etc etc would be worth it to him.
A friend of mine came over one night and used my computer to flash his HTC EVO to be used on Page plus. Could something along those lines be done here for verizon prepaid?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481126
Search the site for verizon prepaid and see what you find, this was one of the more helpful threads for ideas on what you want to do. You are talking about something called esn cloning or spoofing and it is of questionable legality, so go for it. Damn the man.
Well guys ... I am saying buh bye to T-Mobile. After loyalty dept. Told me to pound sand, I decided I had enough.
I am going to miss this forum you guys are a great bunch, not just phone stuff but personality wise. I can't believe it was cheaper for me to buy the one x , and pay my cancellation fee to T-Mobile, and... and get a better and cheaper plan.
T-Mobile has been really going down hill, with customer service ( YEAH I KNOW I heard ma bell is one of the worst) and I just don't understand why T-Mobile treats new customers better than am OG, like me. To the T-Mobile rep I pm'd here thanks for replying and being cool.
Well.... one x forums here I come. Lol.
Phone should ne in my hands tues. Or wed. Im excited.

good luck , you dont have to LEAVE these forums you could always come and see progress
you could always unlock your Amaze before ya ditch t-mo altogether, that way you can still use it alongside your One X, just need a micro sim adapter
Edit: well, you can use it without internet, LTE plans don't play nice with non-LTE phones

no its not that, its some shenenigans within AT&T's system, an LTE device can't access the internet unless you have their LTE data plan, even the HSPA+ network, I'm guessing it doesn't work the other way around as well, I know from experience how back asswards AT&T's system can be when setting up a phone
P.S: where were you when I was unlocking my Amaze? would have saved me some headaches working with T-Mobile

Im curious what you asked for from them. I been a customer for 5 years and they just gave me a 250 credit on my bill for the Amaze and this months bill. I've never had a problem with the customer service. Im curious how your paying less with ATT, which I am assuming you jumped to because of the one X
Have fun paying more for service.

Im actually going to be saving a few dollars!
The only thing im losing is my grandfathered unlimited data, .... but I have never exceed 3 gb ever so ... its actually a decent plan.
And I like the rollover minutes thing.
And i do a lot of camping and T-Mobile has ALWAYS been a fail for me. But my friends who not only have iphonies(only saying cuz I thought iphonies had crappy reception) and with AT&T ... almost always have signals.
We will see. T-Mobile is funny..
.when I called and told them to cancel, my acct, and told them I was offered the one s , but said I hate penile displays and the storage was to small
You know what the rep said???
Well, sir, ill tell you what, I can offer the one s practically free for you..
I almost went into rage mode...lmao.
I think what's really happening is this is the age of the downward spiral of customer service. Its not just T-Mobile/AT&T. Its everywhere.

Sorry to hear that. T-Mobile totally stuck their neck out to me last year. I went to Calgary and didn't turn off my data roaming. I even got a text as soon as I hit the border, telling me full well that the data rates are HIGH. I tried my best and minimized it's use. Well, I got home to a $850 bill. After talking to a few people, getting on my knees and begging forgiveness, they took 100% of the charges off.
I thought that was INCREDIBLE customer service. Who else would forgive $850 worth of data roaming charges???????

The one x is such a small upgrade from the amaze what's the point in switching? I think with the amaze having a leak for ics there really seems to be no point in getting another device for very close specs. Just my two cents only device on the horizon worth waiting for would be the galaxy s3

Can you go into a little more detail? I'm not sure what you raged about.
They offered you a phone?
I'm not sure why you experience was so bad.
We've had t-mo for something like 7 years.
I called the loyalty department and asked what they could do for me, and they gave me a $250 credit to cover the cost of the amaze, and dropped our plan price $80/mo

+1 i love tmobile.. great plans, great customer support (even though im on prepaid i get good support). they are the best gsm you can get in the US imo. id rather have verizon but i dont have the money, and they dont really have that great of phones.
Yeah today I called in for something on my account and when the rep said if there was anything I was unhappy about I just said I sometimes get one bar to none of service at home which in reality I get 1-2 bars. They quickly transferred me to the signal booster program and even gave me 250 credit. So now I should be getting full bars within the next couple days and not make a payment for at least two months! Also isn't the warranty program through t-mobile cheaper in replacing phones, and the add on features as well.
After the att break up t-mobile is actually going back up in the competition and they are starting by improving customer service. It's sad you left right at the turning point specially for a phone that is not that much better than the amaze. I wish you luck.

Is there another name this device goes by? Because I can't find anything regarding this thing on this thread. I was curious if there has been any development what so ever.
P769
There is a thread on rooting. Search for "root lg l9". I rooted both of mine Sunday. We are waiting on a sub forum still.
Cool

There are at least three variants of L9:
P760 (European)
P765 (Asian)
P769 (US, but screen is smaller and the cam location is different)
glad I found this little thread 'cause info on the USA version is scarce here. this will be my next phone. just shopping about for the best price.
the reviews from ordinary users are stellar. has advantages over the Nexus 4

I got this phone (P679) from Wal-mart with my 2 year upgrade for 97 cents. At the time they were giving a $100 gift card for certain upgrades so I got that too. I am not disappointed with it at all. I have it rooted with Clockwork recovery. I am sure roms will follow soon. It is a powerhouse of a phone.
I have this phone and I love it! Its way better than my old p999 g2x. Long battery life and snappy! Since it has a dual memory channel controller it tromps the G2x's single channel controller. This basicly is an awesome phone. Just need the mods to make a thread for it and get some devs with CM 10 goodness!

Is there a clockwork recovery for this device? Can you give us a link?
the bad news is that its too popular right now, and that Nexus 4 sold out, with no good horizon on plentiful supply!
so for someone like me that forks over cash for devices, and doesn't play the contract game, the L9 is bringing a strong price right now.
I need some alternatives out there in the 300-400 range to bring the price of the "lowly" L9 down into the mid 200's :good:
In Viet Nam, it's code P768 and 8MP camera, hope subforum soon

T-mobile on their web site here in the US has the LG Optimus L9 for $249.99 without a contract and free shipping. Just go to their No Annual Contracts section and you can get it there. Here's the link below directly to their web site. They are also throwing in a free $60 stereo Bluetooth headset.

Can the T-Mobile version be unlocked with a code purchasable on the internet? I've always been on Verizon so I don't really know how that works...
If u know someone with a T-Mobile contract acct they can request an unlock code from T-Mobile directly for free. I did it with the exhibit 4g. They just need an imei number

Bought it for $199 with free $50 prepaid refill card
This Optimus L9 was on sale yesterday on T-Mobile website for $199.99 plus tax with FREE $50 PREPAID REFILL CARD and FREE OVERNIGHT SHIPPING. I ordered one and it should be at my house now. I was going to order Nexus 4 8GB but did not want to wait too long and 8GB size seems very limited.
At this price of around $170 net after selling $50 prepaid card is a great deal! I already have an iPhone 5 on Net10 (AT&T MVNO) but I'm bored so wanted to try something else to play with. Optimus G is still too expensive and Nexus 4 is not available at this point (Optimus L9 is just half the cost of Nexus 4 with the deal I got!).
I'm kinda new to Android world and hope I'll get used to it soon.

Hopefully I'll be getting this phone soon, I broke my exhibit 2 and I'm considering, this.
It seems like cyanogen would support this, I'm gonna give some aosp variant a try as soon as I get this.
Yeah.. Mine is unlocked, and I have tested various SIM cards from various GSM MVNO's and they all work.. H2O, Solavei, StraightTalk, Net 10, just to name a few that I've tried.. Unlock to talk is who I unlock through..

Target stores around my (Northwest Indiana area) have the LG Optimus L9 for $199, no contract. I just picked up one
On t-mobile's website, on the prepaid section, they are $249 with a 50 dollar prepaid card.
Hope that helps!
