Hey, guys. Here's a thread that's not about ICS.
So I've been thinking about getting the new EVO because honestly, I'm done with this phone. It's getting old, beaten, and less responsive. I do not want to return this for a refurbished, due to the fact I unlocked my phone using revolutionary and would not like to deal with the new hboot method.
I'm also getting very slow data speeds, even on Wimax, and coverage for me is spotty at best. The airave is a little help, except for the fact, that from time to time it would send the same text message 17 times.
I don't really use much internet, so i wouldn't mind giving up my unlimited for a 2GB data plan on ATT. I messed with the Note and it is AMAZING especially LTE. Point is, does anyone know if I could recieve an upgrade from Sprint early? That way, I would stay with sprint, get the new Evo, and see if Sprints coverage and LTE is actually worth staying for another two years. I've been a Sprint Premiere gold customer since I joined when the original EVO was out, but now that they have gotten rid of it, I don't see the need to pay 100 a month for service that is mediocre at best. I'm willing to pay the ETF to leave for something better.
I know this should be in Q&A but the Evo 3D forums on XDA have been such a mess, I doubt it matters. Thanks for reading guys.

The only thing I could think of is to wait until the new Evo comes out and ours is past end of life and warranty it a few times. Might have to start before the new one comes out so you can get a 90 day warranty on the refurb before yours original warranty is up. I actually thought about this myself.

I thought you can flash roms and kernels through recovery with the note?
Calling Sprint and asking a few times and getting different reps "can" do the trick at times for ya...just be upfront and tell them your thinking of leaving and just want an upgrade earlier...some reps will do it, some wont.
play the roulette game and see what sticks.
Actually if u have 1 year left with your 2 year contract on your line then u can trade in your EVO for 100 dollars to cancel your contract with that and then renew with 2 years and get the new phone like that,my friend works at sprint and he told me to do that when the new EVO comes out..you basically trade in your phone for 100 to cancel out your contract and just renew and get the new EVO cheaper u get me hope it helps

Eh? I have had both the Galaxy S and S2 and both were an absolute doddle to install roms on or root, pretty much child's play. Simply open Odin when connected to download mode via USB and pick the file to flash, unless the Note is drastically different?

And why would they do this? Phone costs over 500 without contract. It cost $200 with contract when it came out. They won't let you cancel unless its a service issue which they can't resolve.

So you are saying you have to give up your phone and pay $100.00 EFT to get out of your contract 1 year early?
The ETF at 12 months is $240.00. So you are saying that Sprint is giving you a $140.00 credit for your Evo 3d?
Edit: Found that Sprint is giving $99.00 for the Evo 3D buyback program (hell, they are still giving $90.00 for the Evo 4G). So you are about $40.00 off the price here.

My friend did the same thing when the 3d came out he was coming from the OG evo. He gave sprint his OG with the buyback program crediting him $100 bucks. Then he renewed his contract for another 2 years picking up the 3d for $100 bucks total with the $100 credit from his OG turn in. Now Im not sure if it was just that time it could be done because Sprint wasnt as popular at that time then it is now since picking up the iphone and the only carrier to have unlimited data. I hope that type of offer remains because I too want to get the new Evo LTE. I started up with Sprint when the 3D came out which was june 24 of last year so when the Evo LTE releases it should be my 1 year mark. Im keeping my fingers crossed.

Just to add, last year I traded in The OG Evo 4G, for $150 and extended my contract another two years to get the Evo 3D for $200, leaving me to only pay $50 for the 3D.
I'm hoping that I can do the same thing this year.
I texted upgrade, to 1311 and got this:
As of 4/1/12, you are eligible to save up to $150 off SRP plus any promotional discounts w/ 2-yr Agreement
Which is a good sign that I can upgrade come LTE time.

So if the evo lte srp is 500-600, you get only 150 off of that? Or 150 off the 200 subsidized price?
Well it does say off of SRP, but I hope I can get it for the sub price.

Any other Sprint employees trying to get an Evo 3D? I'm a B2B rep for a preferred dealer and I got the same old story they gave everyone last year with the Evo. EMPLOYEES MUST WAIT!
Anyway around this? buying the phone at full price? Just started at Sprint 2 months ago so I'm not that familiar with how this stuff works yet.

You are an employee? Radio Shack didnt ask to change you plans?
Im on SERO-P and trying to figure out where i can upgrade aside from Sprint.
I am sure if you go into the shack or BB and pay full retail for it they will not question you as to why you want to not have them activateit for you.
It's my understanding that when you call Sprint customer care to activate the phone, they wont put it on your employee plan. I'd consider paying full price but I don't want to get stuck with a $500 phone I can't use.

Does sprint have a return policy for evo 3d if your a current customer? Say for instance, HTC doesn't unlock the bootloader in 28 days can I just return the phone and get a evo back?

You have 30 days to return it but I dont think you can get your Evo back..
You can return the phone, pay a $35 restocking fee, and use your upgrade toward another phone.

You won't get your EVO back. You can swap the EVO3D for another new phone.
So if you swap your existing EVO 4G to get a 3D, You will pay
199-150 trade in = 49.99.
And if you return the 3D within 30 days because you don't like it,
You >>
1) pay a 35 restocking fee, and can pick a different device.
What happens if you want the Evo 4G, which is $99.99 at Sprint?
Do they just give you that after you pay the $35 restocking fee?
Which means you just paid $150+49.99+35= $234.99 for that Evo 4G?
If the above is true, and I want to try the EVO 3D, I would keep my Evo 4G, and pay the $199.99 and if I kept the EVO 3D, I would have my Evo 4G as a back up.
Edit:
Ok. I guess Sprint would give you $49.99+150 (the EVO 4G trade-in)-35=$164.99 for a refund for your EVO 3D, and if you purchased the EVO 4G, Sprint would deduct $99.99 and refund you $65.00 before taxes of course.
In essence you would get about $11 back from Sprint, if you traded in a 4G to get the 3D (199.99-150=49.99, new 4G would be 99+35 for restocking fee, and you would get the difference back).
Just keep in mind, at least here in MD, Sprint's 30 day return policy is actually 29 since they count the 1st day of activation day 1. And then depending on if there are 30 or 31 days in the month. To make a long story short, my wife purchased a Nexus S 4G on May 15th, and tried to return the phone on June 14th, but according to there math, it was day 31, not day 30, even though Customer Care told the store manager (at 2 different stores btw), that they needed to go back to school to learn math...
Needless to say, she is still stuck the Nexus with its flakey signal issues...
Of course YMMV? Just my FYI on Sprint's return policy!
The question i have is can i just upgrade to evo 3d now and try it to see if i am ok with it and then if i like it give the evo back to sprint for 150$ at a later date? Does the 150 I get go towards my bill or only credit towards buying anything from sprint like accessories or new device?

Sure you can sell it. You could sell it and then activate a cheap $20 Sprint phone on your account if you wanted to. Just sell the Evo, and put it towards the cost of the 3d. Or you could get in touch with Sprint's customer retention and see if they'd be able to push your full $150 upgrade through for ya. They did for me, as I was also in the middle of my 2 year contract. They pushed the 150 upgrade for me, and I was able to get the Evo 3d for 199. Good luck.
Just go to a 3rd party Sprint store and ask the guy to back date your contract, that's what I do and I get upgrades whenever I want
I was in your position, I bought out of my contract for $75 so I could buy @ full upgrade pricing, gave my EVO 4G to Sprint for $150 through the buyback program & bought the 3D for $199. All billed to my Sprint account.

I find it sad that HTC is giving up on 3d. Yes it was a toy, but one I paid for. They never really got behind the phone. They had that one terrible bubble 3d movie, but that was it. I thought we would at least see a 3d gallery.
Heck we are not even going to see the full blown HTC evo lte. Where is our new quad processor, that our oversees HTC brothers and sisters are getting?
There was never even any 4G in my city (one of the largest in South Florida) and I'm sure we are 2-3 years from lte ever being turned on. So thanks sprint and HTC. What a bad partnership it turned out to be for me.

Lol I am in TN and don't have 4G never have.. So I have the same feeling about LTE and that 10 dollar fee thing is kinda a joke..

Kinda bummer too all the folks who jumped into another 2 years and will be stuck with a older phone if no one knew that LTE was coming .. Lol.
Along with HTC ICS for the 3D will probably never see any more updates since they are coming out with that new Evo phone.. My guess is the 3D will be dropped on the **** list lol. Seen 3 new LTE phones on Sprints site for pre order.. Anyway's I will be stickin with the 3D for another year But hopefully things will still be poppin over in the threads

I guess you and I will be stickin to the threads for awhile lol
When LTE comes out (either frequency), don't expect the 4G on your WiMAX phones not to work. Sprint plans on keeping WiMAX around (except no more new phones) for legacy phones still running the technology. For a good bit of time at least, until a majority moves to LTE.

to be honest both the evo 3d and sensation have enoumous potential that is yet to be unleashed. with the ice cream sandwhich update the sensation is about 50% faster especially gpu performance. the evo 3d and sensation however were fails for htc and it is evident as they are really cheap to buy now whether outright or plan.

Huh? One, what does this have to do with the 3d? And two, the Sprint version is about twice as good as the normal Evo X.
As others have stated, the dual core in this phone does as good, if not better, than the quad...
Nobody forced you to buy a Sprint Wimax phone. You can easily switch to Verizon if you want.

It's all good man... Post isn't bad.. I understand what your post is about
well dan hasse said someone that that 10 fee was premium data free, knowing that our fones use up more data and if that fee wasn't instituted that we probably would be on a tier data plan now. as for the wimax it will be up thru 2015. It does suck, as Detroit only has 4g downtown, like 4sq miles or less lolz. But how many of us actually bought the fone thinking that wimax was the future or did we just want the new next hyped fone, that had 3d and good specs. Their not gonna do a trade in thing cuz there will always be a new big fone.... I really feel more sorry for ppl that got this fone thinking they will qualify for gold membership and have an upgrade every year, though I've heard many ppl argue just that and actually get a upgrade back... soo yawl can try that...

they did stop it but they didn't stop it before ppl got the evo 3d but they canceled it before the gold membership period and left ppl stuck, kinda, but like I said I've heard ppl argue that and get an upgrade

honestly I wouldn't be in such a rush to get the Evo One but my 3d phone, ppl can't barely hear me, they say I sound muffled at times, and I know it's the fone :-( I just love the fact of having a fone everyone can hear me on again!
Well, I am gonna nab the new evo for sure! Coming from an Evo 3d, that was a pain for devs to root, the new one will be much easier to work with.
As far as LTE, I'm not holding my breath... in Vegas I can't even find a date for launch. I'm guessing late 2013? Also, they call the $10 fee a smartphone fee now. Go figure?

just being devils advocate but how do u know that it will be easier to root
My sister wants to get this phone and she is still on the EVO 4G.
I told her she could just buy out her contract if she wants the full discount. It's only $50.00 (she's a few months out).
The Corporate Sprint store said she had to hand in her old EVO 4G to do the Buyout. She wants to keep it and sell it (she already got offered like $130.00 for it).
She called Sprint and she said she had to go to a Store to do it.
I thought you could just call up sprint, payoff contract and then buy and Sprint phone after full discount from any authorized dealer with a 2 year renewel.
And sell your old phone any old time you want.
I bought out of my contract no problem...they never asked for me to return anything back....besides that she paid for her of EVO with her money I would call again and speak to a diffrent service rep....

I called sprint retention and bought out my contract over the phone. Kept my phone too (sold it back to best buy for like $200)

You were most likely given bad information. Call again.

No point in calling again. That info is correct. Sprint modified the program. It is no longer being performed thru customer care. It is now being done in the stores and a buyback of the old device IS required. You were told correctly. Customer care can't offer this anymore. It must be done in the stores. This was done to reduce issues from the previous program.

Unless that changed in the last couple of months, its nonsense. Or unless my situation was different. I had three lines on my account and terminated two of them for $50 each over the phone and didn't have to give them a thing.

Couldn't a person just buy some piece of junk on craigs list, activate it on the line and give them that? (moment old blackberry etc) My kid has an epic touch with a crack in the screen that only can be seen with the screen off and they want to give him 40 bucks for it, i don't think so.

Completely different. This discussion is about essentially buying an early upgrade, not terminating lines

I called customer care last week and bought out contract for 100 and got a new phone the next day, they never said anything about wanting the old phone, they even fixed it for me so I could get all the contacts off of it

You may need to do a little checking yourself. Both my parents and sister did this. 2 paid $50 and my mother payed $100.

A couple of internal docs regarding the new buy-out program were posted on Inside Sprint Now, which of course doesn't exist any more. Yes, starting in the second half of June early buy-outs are only supposed to be done through corp stores and yes, you have to turn in the phone that Sprint gave you in the previous upgrade cycle. The fee depends on the age of the current phone. It is a new program though, so you might still be able to do it the old way by calling customer service and without trading in your current phone, just depends on CSR's knowledge and luck.
Wow, just another reason to leave Sprint I guess. I think that's pretty dumb, as you essentially loose the money you paid for the device. Unless the money you paid to get the device is somehow subtracted from the price you pay to buy out the contract.
yeah this is bs, why would i pay off the rest of the fone just to turn in the fone and buy a new contract.... if sprint keeps this, they are gonna use alot of business....
You people are ridiculous....
How about you wait until your contract is up then? Then you can upgrade and keep your phone. If u want to upgrade early this is how you have to do it. Otherwise don't do it. Simple. Yet another reason to leave sprint? Lol. That sounds silly. Please explain to me how other providers run their buyout programs.

Guys you get PAID for the phone you turn in

She had an old flipphone she activated and handed that over.
They do buy back the old phone so it's not a bad deal.
I never let a "contract" sway when I do anything.
I think it's ridiculous when folks say I can't do X because they are under contract.
ok so i guess we're pretending that they didn't just take away the premire upgrades. you should be able to buy out the rest of your contract and not have to turn in the phone too, thats not a good deal, say you pay 165 to end your contract and then have to turn in a 500+ plus phone just do get a new one, might as well just pay the etf and keep the phone, u could actually make more money to get a new phone this way.

Just depends on the phone you have.
This is one specific program.. there are others
The push with buyback of the current phone in this specific program is the increased need for phone recycling, which sprint currently leads in.
The crying over contract changes that happened 6 months ago or more is just silly. Premium customers received one last upgrade to be used by end of year.
