Fucking up Fones (cellfones that is)[views:7702][posts:72]______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:50am - the_reverend ""] I'm ready to smash my cellphone... it keeps fucking up, I can't open more than one application and I can't type with the keyboard. I think I'm going to go to the sprint store today at lunch and have them fix it or give me a new one. I have a fear that they are going to say it's water damage. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:52am - the_reverend ""] test blah.. of course now it works. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:53am - the_reverend ""] but now that I'm here, I can't send emails.. wtf... |
| _________________________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:53am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] What do you have for a phone? Sorry, I mean "fone"? |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:58am - the_reverend ""] my fone is the sprint mogul which they don't sell anymore. I'm hoping that sprint will give me the HTC touch pro in it's place when this one shits the bed again. I've gone through 3 or 4 of these fones. this is what I have: http://www.sprintmogul.net/ this is what I wanted: http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/overview.html Mostly cause it's got more RAM which is the main problem with my fone. I really really want to get the palm pre as the next fone that I pay for. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Pre |
| _________________________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:00am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I am switching to Sprint soon, just waiting for the Pre so I don't have to buy it after I sign up. I have until May 5th. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:08am - RustyPS ""] just switched to Verizon from Nextel 2 days ago, got an LG enV2....already liking my decision |
| _________________________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:19am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] Verizon is awesome, I really liked them when I had them. I was forced to switch to AT&T when my dad switched, but I am going to Sprint cause of my sister's family plan. Good rates, though, with Sprint, and once the Pre comes out I bet it will blow away the other touch phones. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:25am - Mess ""] mah fone expiriences Nextel/Sprint - Fuck Nextel and Fuck Sprint. customer service sucks, coverage sucks. fuck the hard Verizon - (is what i have now) pay as you go. too much dough. customer service is alright. coverage is great. Teen Mobile - they are awesome all the way around. t-mobile is da bawllz. i owe them $150.00 so i am not able to use them for now. does anyone else use pre-paid pfones? any suggestions. i don't need the fance faggy shit. just whateverr.asdggg |
| _________________________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:27am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] I kinda wanted T-Mobile, but I'd have to go it alone, and that can get pricey. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:33am - trampletheweak ""] i have verizon, its a little more expensive, the customer service at stores is ok, you have to go to one with tech support to get any real help or questions answered. upside is ive never had a problem with service, i have the EnV 1 with a broken front screen, the phones arent put together that well but their usually pretty quick to replace them. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:49am - the_reverend ""] I've been with sprint since may or june 1999. I've got a contract until july 2009. But I have the $7/month add on that if my phone er fone breaks, I get 1 hour service or $50 replacement if there is loss/damage. I'm going to go there and bitch, get a new fone or something like I've done 3-4 times now. Keep that fone until I'm sick of it and then re-do my contract for the palm pre if it's the bomb like it seems to be. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:50am - the_reverend ""] I'm also mad at sprint cause I pay $55/month after 9+ years with less services than carina on sprint for $35/month. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 12:18pm - sxealex ""] sprint is teh ghey... you should just get a iphone and some gsm provider the ad2p/file transfer/bluetooth modem hack is almost ready. also you can make it a wireless router which is kinda cool if yer at a show. is the sprint internerd that much faster or is yer fone that much cooler? |
| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 12:21pm - sxealex ""] btw i dunno why people complain about att/cingular ive had it since 2000. its been good for me other than one year when they would fuck up my bill alot. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 12:23pm - sxealex ""] the keyboard looks nice on your phone |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 12:36pm - the_reverend ""] at&t would raise my bill for what I got thru sprint to 120$ a month. fuck that. I already have tethering on my phone so... why hack anything? sprints network covers 95% of where I go. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 12:43pm - Mess ""] Sprint hates Hull, MA I hate Hull, MA |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 2:38pm - the_reverend ""] Well, they didn't say water damaged... all they did was flash the ROM and tell me that my kb didn't work cause I had too many 3rd party apps. sure, that makes sense. /sarcasm |
| ______________________________________ [May 13,2009 8:01am - the_reverend ""] im going to go back today. it of course didn't help and I've lost near 1/2 of the reviews that I type in some way shape form. it's working fine now of couse... but I keep typinf reviews and things with out looking at the phone and either the shift key sticks so that everything after a ' is just symbols or a whole sebtebce only inputs a couple characters. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 13,2009 11:27am - largefreakatzero ""] US Cellular. It works where I live (in the woods) and I can has free Blackberry (thanks, company I work for). |
| ______________________________________ [May 13,2009 1:42pm - the_reverend ""] They "fixed" my phone. I leave and it doesn't work again. I go back and it works again. They are sending me a new one in the mail tomorrow. 5th one of these phones. I drive away from the place with my phone and it stops working again. |
| ______________________________________ [May 13,2009 2:55pm - the_reverend ""] This phone is aggravating. Someone at work said that they exchange my phone for refrubs of the new model. that would be awesome. double awesome. |
| ______________________________________ [May 14,2009 7:12pm - the_reverend ""] ok... they sent me a refurb of my same model and the screen looks terrible. 3 places where it looks like someone put their finger into the phone and the sides looks like a laptop monitor when it's about to die. plus when I put my battery in the back camera thing fell of and won't go back on. |
| ______________________________ [May 14,2009 8:06pm - Lamp ""] What a weird day to see this thread, my phone started fucking up today. It got wet while in my pocket while I was power washing. The guy at the phone store told me to take out the battery and put the phone over something hot like a TV so the wires can dry out, then it MIGHT work again. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 1,2009 6:31pm - the_reverend ""] I told the lady that the screen was messed up on this thing. the scratch that was on it is now a crack across the phone. I've had one of these in my pocket for 10 months with out cracking the screen. now this. also, the keyboard is locking the function key when it's not supposed to and im getting a lot of double w,e,r,c, and n |
| ___________________________________________________ [Jun 1,2009 8:10pm - boblovesmusic@thecoolidge ""] those are the only letters you need hehe |

| __________________________________ [Jun 7,2009 12:02am - dertoxia ""] [img] sounds to me like you need one of these |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 7,2009 1:22am - the_reverend ""] No, the f wols on that one. Thumbs down to on screen keyboard |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 7,2009 1:52am - ctb0rderpatrol ""] i just get a $10 tracfone with no sliding or unfolding parts, and a $40 minutes card that lasts me about 2-3 months. then i dont give a shit about if i break it or not |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 7,2009 2:01am - the_reverend ""] I wish... I run my life from this machine |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 7:19pm - the_reverend ""] using the osk sucks dicks and is seriously limiting my posts. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 8:53pm - the_reverend ""] on the phone for 40 minutes with sprint they will/can do nothing unless I sign up for another 2-year contract |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 9:22pm - the_reverend ""] typed something long and osk ate it |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 9:31pm - the_reverend ""] account cancellations is trying to handle my call now |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 9:35pm - the_reverend ""] and I just told them if I wasn't happy before I canceled service, carina would be calling them. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 10:11pm - the_reverend ""] transferred 5+ more times. gots set to the insurance program and they said "pay us $50 for the same phone" I'm back at some other dude that has no idea. |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 10:16pm - IllinoisEnemaBradness ""] welcome to hell!! CUSTOMER NO SERVICE |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 10:18pm - the_reverend ""] I'm very angry right now |
| __________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 10:20pm - dertoxia ""] Just tell them you want to cancel everything and switch to another company. I did that to T-mobile and got 6 months for free....then still cancelled. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 10:21pm - dertoxia ""] Oh and if you stay with sprint because they have 4G.....i'm sure that both verizon and at&t will have 4G service within a year probably. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 8,2009 10:26pm - the_reverend ""] they can't do anything and I have to drive 1hr 10minutes to the sprint store cause each time I went to the sprint store they opened up a ticket for me. 4 tickets in 60 days mean that the people on the phone can't do jack shit. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 12,2009 4:37pm - the_reverend ""] ok, spent another 40 minutes on the phone with sprint. they can't do jack shit. AND they upped the price of the insurance to $100 from $50. They basically said "go to a repair shop, sorry". My phone is constantly needing to be rebooted. I'm backing it up now and going to the fucking sprint store to get my fucking 8th fucking mogul. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 12,2009 7:42pm - the_reverend ""] horray! they gave me a touch pro. this will be a learning curve |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 4,2009 12:14pm - the_reverend ""] My phone kb aint working |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 18,2009 4:07pm - the_reverend ""] they are getting me my 9th phone. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 21,2009 11:40am - the_reverend ""] I got my new phone this morning. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 21,2009 11:43am - W3 nli ""] banana phone !?!? |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 21,2009 12:16pm - BrianDBB ""] Maybe theirs only two phones and they just keep switchin em with ya |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 21,2009 7:35pm - the_reverend ""] bdbb: you might be right... i have barely used this thing and the keyboaard just crapped out for 10 minutes |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 3,2009 6:59pm - the_reverend ""] kb on this phone just completely died. 8/21 to 9/3? |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 3,2009 7:00pm - boblovesmusic ""] jeez dude... |
| ___________________________________________________ [Sep 19,2009 12:01pm - rev at the sprint store ""] ok, I came into get my phone replaced and they said it would be done by 11:17, but at 11:45am, they said 30 minutes. now I'm going to be late to the GAHF. |

| ______________________________________ [Nov 13,2009 1:42pm - the_reverend ""] so I'm re-flashing my phone cause it's been fucking up lately. Now, I find that my phone will not sync over USB so that there is no way to get the newest ROM on the device. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 13,2009 8:33pm - the_reverend ""] they couldnt fix my phone and are sending a touch pro 2 to me at home. cant wait. 800x480 screen, winmo 6.5, and a better kb. this will hold me over until spring has an iphone killing droid. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 12:53am - ArrowHeadNLI ""] TP2 is out!? That's awesome man. I hope it's new and not a refurb, after the shit they put you through you deserve a NEW phone. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 1:42am - the_reverend ""] It's going to be a refurb. the tp2 has been out for a while now I thought. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 1:44am - the_reverend ""] I think it's been out for 3-4 months |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 1:47am - the_reverend ""] oh, it looks like it came out at the beginning of sept. looks slick: http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/htc-touch-pro2/4505-6452_7-33527311.html |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 1:49am - the_reverend ""] here is the sprint review: http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/htc-to...o2-sprint/4505-6452_7-33770281.html |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 1:54am - the_reverend ""] ok, the release date on sprint was 10/6. and then I see this "Early 2010 for WinMo 6.5 Touch Pro 2 upgrade? Seriously?" |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 3:00am - the_reverend ""] hm.. another site lists the release as 9/8 |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 4:09am - ArrowHeadNLI ""] It's on the website, but none of the stores around here have it yet. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 10:46am - the_reverend ""] the store near me had one the last time I exchanged a phone (9/18) http://marketplace.windowsphone.com/ have you seen that? |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 12:07pm - ArrowHeadNLI ""] I've never seen that before, looks like a cool resource. I'm a big fan of http://forum.ppcwarez.org/ |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 14,2009 1:00pm - the_reverend ""] that rules. I already dl'd castlevania. |
