My phone loses data so much that I can't download a different ROM. Doesn't matter where its 3g or wifi, my phone constantly loses signal just long enough to disconnect and cause any large downloads to fail. If there isn't a software update for this in the near future I'm going to be so upset because I bought the phone on day 1 which means my 30 day return window at best buy is up tomorrow. If this doesn't change by morning, and I don't see why it will, lol, I guesses I'll have to return the phone for a new one. Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
For what its worth, I'm running stock with goodies 1.43

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Bout it on day one when Best Buy could only fullfill the pre-orders on the 23rd of May. Sad to see my GF stream netflix on her EVO Shift while I struggled to stream music on my EV0 4G LTE. Don't know if it's worth turning it in for a new one, or if this is just how these phones perform? *SIGH...what to do...what to do? Does it have to be taken in to the same BB you bought it?
I don't know about the same store. I would assume you can take it back to any best buy. I'm thinking real hard about returning this one for a new one tomorrow. I mean, really, how much will it suck if I have to replace it through sprint insurance if its the phone? A $200 deductible now, that's crazy. I didn't pay $200 for the phone, why sink another $200 in it?

If I were you I would take it back and exchange it for a new one. I just got mine last week and thus far haven't had a single problem downloading large files over wifi with mine. I can also stream pandora/iheartradio over 3g with no problems.
I always get the Best Buy Blacktie warranty for only $8/mo. I can swap the phone with no hassle. But I am really now considering on trading this in for a new one before the 30 days. At least I can hope that I get a better one with a clean activation. I still can't believe how bad data is on this phone. :crying:
I had the best buy insurance until I actually had to use it. To get a new phone, the have to send it out 4 times and have it come back still broken or unfixed. Each time they send it out it takes about a week to week and a half to get it back. Took me over a month and a half to get an old Evo replaced. At that time, I would have gladly given the hundred dollar deductible sprint charges. But now its $200 and I'm looking to have to use it within the first couple months? This is ridiculous.

I've found that it's not losing a data connection, Sense is killing the download.
My solution was to go to the settings, check the option to keep the screen on while charging. Then download the file while attached to the charger. Don't do anything else until the download finishes.
By keeping the download in the foreground, Sense won't kill it.
I'm now on Deck's CM9 build for this exact reason.
Good luck.

That's exactly what I did last night. I couldn't sleep so I set the phone to screen off never and I stared at it like a watched pot. For 515 mb. Lol. There has to be a workaround or an update in the future for this.

I'm not flaming anyone but woukdnt it be good practice to download on a laptop then just push the file to the sd card? That has always been how I download roms. Laptops seem to download faster anyway

Agreed. Wi-Fi has been just fine, as well as streaming video or music. We all know Sprint sux. But it can only get better from here. I dumped Verizon just to come back here. In due time everyone. THings will pan out

Sorry for the bad experience bud I can tell you that the geek squad protection has gotten a lot better. Now it does not take more than 3-5 days to get another one. For some reason actually the past 4 phones I send out they get it by the next day. Avg for us is about 2 days but it all varies by location of nearest service center from you. Still 3-5 days a good estimate on getting one back. Yes it is a.refurb phone also. If your uber lucky it could be new. Sent my buddies note out and he got a brand new one back. Sent others before and they were refurbs. Guess he has lucky lol

Wait, so they don't replace them on the spot anymore? That's too bad. Ř years ago I got my first smartphone. Blackberry Bold (still love it ) and got it from BestBuy. But back then, they would replace it on the spot. No shipping.but, its better than nothing I guess. I should ha e gone to BB. They would have given me $200 for my Verizon GN, and plus the gift card. Ahh well

You do know there is an app out that disables smart sync? Just search smart sync in the market. It keeps the phone from disconnecting data when sleeping
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
I may be wrong, but I don't think this particular issue is smart sync. I have issues downloading files even when the phone isn't sleeping. If I put the download in the background while using another app. It is nearly impossible to download a ROM without keeping it in the foreground.
Either way, can you name the app?

When I was in an lte area my data would cut out before connecting to lte. When I went to the same area it had blocked me from connecting to lte but data would still drop out for a sec when trying to connect to lte. Just a thought. Maybe yall are about to get lucky with some lte goodness

Maybe you guys can give me suggestions on getting mine replaced. I bought mine from a Sprint rep, not at his store. Evidently he bought it cheap by adding a line of service, then turned around and sold the phone to me. I've been having crappy 3G service, went through tech support over the phone w/no success, also took to a Sprint store and they ran diagnostics for a couple of hours, still same issues. They recommended taking the phone back where I purchased it to get a replacement (I do have TEP). Well, can't reach the guy I got the phone from. Shouldn't I be able to take to any Sprint store to get it replaced since I've only had the phone for a couple of weeks? I don't want to file a claim.
877 875 4886 call sprint retention let them know that you keep having to take the phone back due to the same problem and your really upset about it but you have been trying to bear with it but its not acceptable to spend all that money on a phone and its giving you trouble already. They will then set up an appointment at your nearest cooperate store and put a not on your account for them to swap out your phone

I just got my rezound from Amazon wireless. I love the phone however I.have the light leakage and its already overheating. Do I.need to send it into Amazon or can I return it at a local Verizon store? I I've read both circumstances happening. Just wondering if anyone else has done either yet. Also if u send it in can u get a loner? This is my first Verizon phone. Thanks
I think you have to use amazon for the first 30 days then you can use verizon. It may be worth it to put up with it until verizon can help you.

Any way to confirm this. I suppose I can call tomorrow.I'm.stuck in class right now. If that's the case ill def wait the 30 days
I got both a Rezound and RAZR from Amazon. The Rezound is great, but I had some serious issues with the RAZR overheating and searching for signal. Called Amazon, they shipped me a brand new phone. Swapped SIMs, mailed the old phone back. Problem solved, and it didn't cost me a dime. Think shipping was 2nd day air.
EDIT: I also tried VZW first, because it would have been quicker, but they directed me to Amazon.
So they send one first... Have the replacement phones been without flaw or is it the same gamble. Might be better to wait the 30 days and use Verizon so I can check it...

Amazon is excellent for returns/exchanges hands down. I assume it will be the same process you request an exchange and they ship it out to you. They generally gave me overnight shipping for free (even on a saturday) to get me non-defective item. Then you just ship it back to them within a resonable time frame with the included label and you should be good to go.
You guys do realize Amazon will send you a brand new phone and if you wait 30 days Verizon cannot swap in store and will send you a refurbished phone thru the mail.

Verizon has a 14 day policy normally, but now if you purchased the phone after 11-15 you have until Jan.
Wouldn't the phone have a warranty through htc as well? Sounds like ill be contacting Amazon tomorrow though. Thanks a lot guys. Hopefully that one doesn't have the light leak. Lol watch me have a new problem. Is rather have the leak than pink buttons and all the other problems I hear about...

I'd be willing to bet that it was a CSA who probably doesn't understand what light leakage is. Between my 3 rezounds and everyone I have looked at in the stores you can see the LEDs through the bottom of the screen when the soft keys light up which is what is causing the bleeding. There is no way to fix it except by turning off the LEDs or by lowering their intensity to improve on the light leak.

Went into verizon and they won't take the phone tho it sounds like I may as well deal with it. They really pissed me off though. I wanted to put on my work discount. Supposed to be 22% line 20% data. I called and reviewed online before I got verizon and the rep told me I would get the discounts. The store wouldn't discount my data because he claimed I need to have a 5gb data and hotspot plan. I was never told this and most likely wouldn't have canceled at&t during the penny sale. Anyone think I could complain enough to get this changed? Can't seem to find a phone number for them to save my life lol

I had a chance to play with the new galaxy. I used to have the first epic, then the epic touch. Honestly, New tw4 is awful to me, makes ics way ugly and bloated. Sense is pretty good, other than multitasking. Personally, I wouldn't get the new gs3 unless there was a way stable cm9 for it.
Yes, I know that with source it is very much possible, but, just like with gs2, there's no real profile and prl update option. I've noticed that over time, network performance degrades big time when compared to other devices.

personally ive considered doing this as well but i always change my mind (i still need to play with the GSIII) simply because i know that cm9 and aokp stable versions will come to the ELTE at some point and with that i have 2 options in sense and stock...i feel like samsung doesnt provide that simply cuz touchwiz i feel isnt worth it at all
Coming from the Galaxy S2 I wouldn't go back to touchwiz. The new Galaxy is great but personally I like HTC sense and the EVO design better.

I've never worked for T-Mobile but have had a lot of returns. The last one was returning my 3rd mytouch4g in a year, and even though they told me their policy is a different phone if you have 3 exchanges within a month, I kept telling them I wasn't happy so they exchanged my phone and also gave me a new amaze. So I ended up with a replacement, and a new phone (this was two months after the amaze came out) even though my upgrade wasn't for another year.
Basically I was in shock how well they treated me, but this was also after talking to a rep who was rude and not helpful, and then a different rep hooked me up and apologized for the other one. Maybe I've been lucky or they like me cuz I've been with them 13 years, but they always treat me right even if it sometimes takes awhile.
My favorite is telling them I'm not happy, and being so nice and ignorant that they get on my side, haha.

I used to work at T-Mo. Not anymore. Depending on your state, look at your lemon laws for phones. Just have them exchange it and do it another 3 times. Then they will give you another phone. They'll give you a crappier phone. I just kept my Amaze. Much better than the Blaze and the Sensation.

Same old sensation, I'm surprised they still have those.
Just wondering if any of you guys use the app Viggle? For those who don't know what the app does/is, it listens to your TV for roughly 15 seconds when you tell it to, and you confirm the show your are watching. You get 1 point for every minute that you're checked in while the show is still on. Some shows give you bonus points as well, the most common being 50 bonus points, but some shows, though rarely, are worth up to 200 bonus points. There is a What's On section in the app that lists all of the shows worth bonus points for that day. There are also videos you can watch to earn bonus points too. You trade your points for different prizes which you choose from. I always opt for the $25 Best Buy gift card. Pretty awesome to get paid, in a sense, to watch TV!! I've been using this app for roughly 7 months. A few months ago I decided to make other accounts (only need a different email address) and started using Viggle on my other phone and my tablet as well. So far I've gotten 7 $25 Best Buy gift cards! $175 just for watching TV!? Not too shabby!! Lol.
Here's the pic to show you that is totally legit (I was a bit skeptical at first to whether you'd actually be able to get gift cards or not, and knew no one else using the app, nor had I ever even heard of it before, just randomly happened to come across it while browsing the Play Store). I've since gotten my older sister and parents using it too. My parents have already used $50 in Lowes gift cards. Last pic is more of a close up to show the $ amount on the gift card. Though if you zoom in on the others you can also see the $ amount. Just put a Best Buy gift card that I received for Christmas at the bottom, to cover up the barcode and pin number assigned to the last printed card.
I get nothing for anyone signing up, as I obviously didn't post a referral code or anything, just wanted to share the info as I thought others might not have heard of this app before, and find this info useful!! If I could help inform just 1 person with this post, then my job here is done! Take care everyone, and happy Viggling! Lol

Thanks for sharing your experience with Viggle. I signed up for it a few months ago but then forgot. It seemed too good to be true in my opinion so I didn't bother; what's in it for them knowing I'm watching a show?
You mentioned you get a point for every minute you're checked in; how do you prove how long you are watching the show exactly? Do you let your phone listen for the entire duration of the show or do you have to have your phone listen for 15 seconds once per minute?
Here's a few screen shots from within the app. The first if the home/check-in screen. Second is the first page of the What's On section. Third is the first page of the Rewards section.

Once it listens and you confirm that show, you can change the channel, turn off the TV, whatever you wanna do. You get 1 point per minute until that show goes off. You have to be checked in for at least 10 minutes to get the bonus points, for shows that offer bonus points. If there are 4 1-hour long shows between 8-9, I'll check in to 1 every 15 minutes. That way I get the bonus points for each show during that time frame.
Yea, I assumed it was too good to be true in the beginning as well! That's why I posted the photos for proof that it is indeed legit! While I've yet to use any of my Best Buy gift cards, my parents used 2 $25 Lowes gift cards last week, which they earned from Viggle. I've went on to Best Buy's website and entered my gift card info to confirm that they're working, and for the full $25.So it definitely works! They get money from companies advertising within their app, with videos you have the option to watch (for bonus points). They may even sell their statistics to TV networks, showing how many people check-in to what shows. Not sure about the last one, but there are definitely videos from companies advertising.

Well I wish that I DIDN'T have that much time to watch TV! After a bad car wreck though, I'm on Disability for 1.5 years, so I'm trying to make the best of it! Lol. Hopefully I'll be able to drive again soon though, so I won't be sooooooo freaking bored stuck at the house almost every day!

Once it listens and you confirm that show, you can change the channel, turn off the TV, whatever you wanna do. You get 1 point per minute until that show goes off. You have to be checked in for at least 10 minutes to get the bonus points, for shows that offer bonus points. If there are 4 1-hour long shows between 8-9, I'll check in to 1 every 15 minutes. That way I get the bonus points for each show during that time frame.

I have been trying to use this all day. Only force closes on my tablet, but have been running it on my phone. Only problem is is that it is only giving me one point per program despite running it for over 20. I thought at first it was because I started doing something else with my phone, but it happens even within the app. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Figured out I was checking into the tail end of half hour shows...duh! Developer's response was fast! Haven't tried going into other apps after I check in, though going to try that next.

You can do whatever you want with your phone one you're checked in. I always hit the home button and do something else. You can even power your phone off, didn't matter. Once you're checked in, you'll get 1 point per minute until that show goes off, no matter what your phone is doing.

I appreciate it bro! Actually May 22 will be 1 year ago! Yea, I was hurt pretty bad! They thought I was dead on scene at first, then found a pulse. Jaws of Life to get me out of the car, then life-flighted to the hospital. No one expected me to live through the first night. Woke up from a coma after 8 days, and was expected to have permanent brain damage. I had about a 1 minute long short term memory, and couldn't do ANYTHING for myself! Couldn't feed myself, go to the bathroom, etc. I could talk, very quietly, and my long term memory seemed ok. After 3 weeks in the hospital, everyone was amazed at how fast and well I was recovering. Was then turned down for the rehabilitation center, because I was beginning to feed myself, amongst do other things! No surgeries, and they didn't have to drill a hole in my head to relieve the pressure of all the blood on my brain. 1 week later I was released. Living back with my parents now, after moving out 12 years ago at age 20, lol. Double vision went away after about 6 months. Still no memory of the wreck or hospital stay, even the first few months after being released out are kind of a blur. Getting better though! Almost back to 100%!!!!

Thanks man! Still have my yellow 98 and 06 GT's. Was in my Dad's Cobra that afternoon. I was gonna buy it from him, as it just sat in his garage most of the time. 98 Cobra, 1 owner, only 22k original miles, all original, always sat in a garage under a car cover. Could have ate off of ANY part of that car! Insurance totaled it. Tree at 70mph will cause that I guess. He was gonna sell it to me for cheap, and buy him a new Jeep. Insurance gave him about twice more for it than he wanted me to give him. Bought it back from insurance though! Gonna swap the motor and trans from the Cobra in to my 98 GT.

It also works on shows that have been recorded on my DVR. I very rarely watch live tv anymore. Hate sitting through commercials.
