The "Leo" is actually the HD2.   I hope one of the USA network carriers like Sprint decide to release the HD2. This device has many people interested in the device and has created a lot of buzz on various cell phone forums. To me, this is the first device that can truly overtake the revered iPhone based on features.   They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are some videos to explain why this

A maintenance release is being developed for the Hero to address key items such as SMS and DST issues. The target launch is in the next few weeks, but I do not have the exact date or a list of everything that will be included yet. I will post updates as they are made available to me. Please note: This is not a 1.6 or 2.0 upgrade. I will post news about OS upgrades when I get it.

A WORKAROUND HAS BEEN DISCOVERED. If your phone has been draining extremely fast under normal use (and you text) then this fix will likely help you! The quick explanation is that whenever you send a text, the Dialer is putting a lock on the phone preventing it from sleeping. This drains your phone extremely fast and also causes it to charge very slowly. Replacing the internal messaging app with a 3rd party SMS app

My wife just got the Moment and she has been having problems with location based applications thinking she is in Guangzhou, China.  If I turn on her GPS and she can get connection, it will update her location correctly in Google Maps and show the weather for our town in her weather widget.  But when I turn off her GPS, it goes back to thinking we're in China.  I recently got the HTC Hero and have not had any

As you may know, some people have an issue where dust is getting under their screen.   There is a rumor, and I stress rumor, that Hero's with the Google branding don't seem to have this issue because of a better screen fit.  Personally, I'm not buying it because no one has been able to provide photos.  However, some of us would like to start collecting data on this issue.   If you have dust getting under

So I'm loving the update and of course something has to go wrong, horribly wrong. All is well with my Hero or so I thought, I updated it fine the first time around with no apparent issues. I didn't do a factory reset or anything. Now however, after the update, apps that I have purchased such as DoggCatcher and FlightStats are not available in the Market. I know prior to the update both showed up and now they don't.

HTC Passion/Dragon is going to be available in the middle of next month for Verizon according to Brighthand.com. Verizon is getting all the good devices lately. I keep waiting for a sign that Sprint is going to get something comparable. I really hope they do. I really like Sprint but if Verizon keeps getting all of the good phone I might have to make a move.

I've read around the Web that the moment may not get it until Q2 of 2010 and that the Hero may get it sooner than that. I'm picking up my Moment on Sunday and I would like to know what the plan is.

If I have an unlimited data plan but no Phone as Modem, will it charge me 3 cents per KB, or will it channel the data charges through the unlimited data plan?   If you need me to elaborate or if you need to ask any question, please do so.

Sprint really needs to pick this phone up. It was announced today that it would actually be coming to the states and by the looks of it, it is going to be an amazing phone. For now Sprint has a good choice of phones, but if this phone is released and Sprint fails to pick it up, there is no way that Sprint is going to be able to compete with the competition.

My contract is up and I'd like to get an android phone. I'm looking at the HTC Hero, but I've read that we will need to get a $25 data plan in order to use this phone. This sounds like a rip off to me (especially for a phone that has wifi). I'm perfectly happy with my current plan (Free Incoming 300) and theirs no way I'm going to be paying that much more to get this phone ($10-15 for data sounds more reasonable).

Everyone suffering from what is being called horrible battery life on the Samsung Moment should read my experience with it: I bought my Moment 10 days ago, and the first thing I noticed was the horrible battery life (to the tune of 4-5 hours-- and that is 4-5 hrs. of STANDBY not talk time as it should be).   After taking the phone off the charger, the battery indicator would show 80% within minutes, then 60% after

Got the moment lastnight.  had 30% battery out of the box.  I ran it till it turned red and said less than 15% which was heavy usage for about 90 minutes.  Charged it all night, removed plug and it dropped to 90% within 2 minutes.  then sent 3 gtalk messages and it dropped to 80%.  turned on Bluetooth and made a 15 minute phone call and it dropped to 70%. I am hoping that this is just a simple case of the battery

Google Voice rolled out their own voicemail service for your existing cell phone today-- similar to services like YouMail.  Anyway, when I was going through the steps of setting it up to see how to do it, I found this note once I selected "Sprint" as my carrier:   Note: Sprint is currently rolling out the ability to enable free call forwarding.         Until that is completed, this feature may not work or you

Marketing aside, I'm confident Sprint will come through and maintain an excellent lineup of Android devices (althgough, I'll be the first to admit that my confidence may be a bit misguided). No time is better than the next few months and although we have not heard anything, it will be crucial (just based on competitor announcements), to have android devices available with Android 2.0, the new Qualcomm Snapdragon

No other carrier charges for call-forwarding so when will Sprint step up and allow the customers to benefit from all the latest technolgy features $.20 a minute is carzy when Sprint offers plans like The Simply Everything Plan, but obviously everything does not mean everything really!!!

I had never had a problem receiving my text messages - that is until I started playing around with my phone.   This is what I have noticed:   When I am on EVDO, I cannot get my texts.  When I switch to 1x-Only, I can get all of my texts, even those that were sent while on EDVO.   The reason I never noticed this was a problem is because I live in southern Idaho, and we don't have fancy networks here.

So, I really like what I'm seeing about the Hero and a friend of mine wanted me to explain why I think it's better than the iPhone. Of course there's Flash support, the fact that it runs on Sprint, and the Hero running Android, but these things didn't seem to impress my friend (who has been with AT&T for a long time and might just be having a love affair with the iPhone). I guess I wanted to start a discussion

I've had the moment for over a week now. Though I do like the phone, there are(of course) some bugs that need working out.   1) Battery indicator - Seriously? This is the third Samsung phone i've tried that has this bug.  The original instinct, the instinct HD, and now the Moment.  The indicator won't show full charge, or drops immediately after pulling it off the charger.   2) Data and wireless services

Look. I want to like the Hero, I really do. I've always tried to put its shortcomings aside and just constantly remind myself that "there is no such thing as a perfect phone" and "sure, the Hero is not as fast as the iPhone but look at all it can do that the iPhone can't" and I could go on. But when it comes to a question of the phone's functionality , it becomes a problem.   Today, I was listening to music

After I applied the new firmware update today, I tried calling myself while playing music in the music app.  It rang twice on the caller end, with no ring on my side.  Then I got one ring on my Hero, and then it went directly to 'missed call'.   Anyone else have the same issue?  If so, this means if I'm listening to music, I'll be missing calls.   But overall, I do enjoy the fix!

Palms new OTA update 1.3.1 went live today to the tune of 126mb. This will take alot of bandwidth for quite some time and will almost certainly cause Sprint to "not" fllp the switch to download our update until that banwidth is cleared up.

I have a serious problem w/ Sprint right now.  It started a couple of weeks ago. My Touch Pro.'s keyboard stopped working so I brought it to a Sprint store. They didn't have any replacement in store so the tech ordered me a replacement. I come back a week later and they hand me a Touch Pro. 2. Before touching it, I asked them if they were going to change anything regarding my service (plan, monthly payment, etc.).

I've never had a touch phone before, so I'm not sure what is the best way to keep the screen clean or to clean it once it's dirty. I know there are protectors out there, but which ones are best? What would be the best way to clean not only the screen, but the sensitive metal area where the track ball is located and the menu buttons are? What are some cleaning methods I should definitely avoid so I won't ruin or

It seems like I have to jiggle any charger just right to get my phone to recognize the charger as plugged in. It never used to do it, but I think I may know what caused it. I was worried when I originally bought the 'Sprint' car charger and tried it for the first time (WAAAY over priced, but I figured better safe than sorry ). Compared to the included USB and a/c chargers, the Sprint car charger barely fit in the

There is nothing wrong with that approach, value given and value received.

Why would Google and all the carriers sell us on Android as the "open" alternative to the iphone when in fact it is NOT open at all. T-mobile has made Sherpa and Imeem exclusive to their devices. This was confirmed by Buddy at geodelic. The newness of the platform on other carriers has made for alot of finger pointing about why apps are missing from the market on certain phones and there is not accountability.

On the Verizon network, I've been used to being able update cell tower information stored in the phone by dialing *228 and then pressing 2 "to update your roaming capabilities." This updated the phone's awareness of towers, as far as I understand. Is there a way to do this with a sprint phone? I'm currently using a Palm Centro.

Sprint has always been a leader, if not the leader, in providing wireless data service. One reason for this is their policy on unlimited data- When you pay your $60/mo (which is a lot of money) for an unlimited data plan, it's actually unlimited, as in there's not a limit, which means you can use it as much as you want without worrying about hitting a limit, because it's unlimited. This relatively simple concept

I am starting to think that HTC's approach in customizing the OS on each device is best suited to an OS like Windows Mobile, which is not updated often and is not geared to serve the needs of everyday consumers who want a smartphone.   Just from looking at the previews of Android 2.0, it seems like the added functionality will include much of what HTC's custom version of Android 1.5 already includes.   As

With these being the two main iDen providers, I feel for Nextel or Boost to grow is to expand coverage. SL has roaming agreements in place but Nextel/ Boost does not on SL networks. While PPT would be difficult to do because of different numbers, the text, web and voice can. IF both would work together, PPT could cross each others networks. I think IF Nextel acquired SC would be something worth doing in the long

For a long time, Sprint's smart devices (PPC-6700, Mogul, various BlackBerries, Moto Q, etc) have lacked a basic feature that even the low end phones all have: MMS. Every other phone or smart device, low or high end, by every other carrier and manufacturer, has MMS ability. Yet Sprint has decided that the highest-end customers of Sprint don't need MMS. Why?

Sprint, this phone has just been horrible as everyone on the forum can tell you. I think the reason that we are recieving such crappy service is because people are mostly posting here. Time to just go on an all out blitz and post our  frustrations on any blog,news site ...whatever site that will listen.   I routinely tell people not to get the instinck it sucks. I've already paid my money and been dupped by the

Sigh...after going through 3 different Heros , I've still got this issue that Sprint can't seem to figure out.  I've talked to 3 different reps on the phone and spent 4 hours in the store trying to get this working.  Everything else on the phone works flawlessly, but the Sprint TV simply will not work.  I can get the menu to come up (if I dont have any data in the user cache) -- but all I get is "Channel Listing

Right after I got mine it did this a couple of times. Then it got to the point it shut down and came back over and over. I took it back to the sprint store and they could not figure it out. Couldn't even get it to stay on long enough to transfer my address book! They replaced it no prob... but this morning it started doing it again! I turned it off and now it's ok, but I went ahead and subscribed to the wireless

It will switch to the right time for like 30 sec. or until I press a button then it will go back to the wrong time. How do I fix this? It set fine at daylight savings time, this just started happening. Never been an issue and I've had the phone almost a year. Help please?!

Some Sprint customers are receiving spam text messages. Some of these messages make it appear as if the message was sent via Sprint because they include SprintFreeMsg working or other use of Sprint brand name in its subject or text.  These spam messages are designed to get the customer to take action on the bogus message.   Some things you would like to know: Real SprintFreeMsg sent to customers pertain to billing

Sprint promotes its plan optimizer as a way to taylor a plan to one's actual usage over a measurable interval. What does one get when one reviews one's usage? A bar graph of monthly charges. Only when one clicks on grayed out sub-categories does one get "usage" as in number of texts, anytime minutes usage, et al.   I currently am on a shared 2100 minute plan and haven't exceeded 1500 in over a year.

Email service is through Charter. I can receive email anywhere, but get an email aplication error on sent messages if Wi-fi not connected. Worse, once I get this error the message sits in the Outbox and never sends even when I later connect to Wi-Fi.   Rebooted several times, deleted account and readded... nothing seems to make a difference.   Anybody have any fixes, ideas...

On another forum, I found this link...   http://www.networkworld.com/newsletters/wireless/2009/090709wireless1.html?hpg1=bn   In it, they write about Motorola making DC work over Wi-Fi. Interestingly, they also write about how Moto's already been able to make a phone call hand off from the network to WiFi. Sprint, pick this up!!! I'd drop my landline in a minute for this!!

I lost my phone about a month ago. I did not replace it right away because of pending charges made by the person who found my phone and decided to call out of the country with it before I could suspend service. The charges have finally been taken off but since I did not sign up for the insurance, I now need a now phone.   Luckily, I saved my old phone and would rather reactivateit than pay full price for a

My husband and I have the same exact phone (older HTC Trouch) and it doesn't work.  So I see that there is an upgrade on my account, one for $150 and the other for $75.  sprint tells me it's because I am a premier member (which I had no knowledge of) and that only my line (the main line) is eligible for a steep discount.  What makes me upset about this is the fact that our phones we currently have, are very

I was disappointed that in the interest of privacy, Sprint no longer allows it's users to access old text messages. As a parent, it is very important to keep up with my child, and I should have access to any information on any line that is listed under my name.

If anyone could answer these questions, it would be very helpful.   -Which one has better apps? -Which one has a better music player? -Which one has a better web browser? -Does the physical keyboard on the Pre make it better than the Hero? -Are they both sturdy and well-made?

What is the proper procedure for moving files from my PC to the card?   Right now, I have the card

Bundling of services so that customers are required to pay for services they don't want or are not even available with their nice new Sprint handsets is an anathema to me. In years past the wireline communications companies were soundly stomped for doing that, and by federal decree were no longer allowed to do it. The same should happen to the wireless communication companies if they do not correct the problem

I have uploaded all my contacts via Facebook and my gmail account to my newly purchased Pre.  I remember on my BB Curve you could go into Sprints NAV application and jump right to a persons profile, pull their address and the NAV would do its thing.  I'm currently on the Pre trying to do that exact thing and its telling me i have no contacts when infact I have close to 100..

Many of us sure seem to want the HD2 - only problem is we don't have an organized petition and we don't have anyone from Sprint that we know we should be getting this petition to.    I was wondering if anyone from Sprint is reading this forum and knows what we should do as that letter from HTC doesn't look to promising for those of who want the HD2 and currently are with Sprint.

So I just got through talking to one of the Tech Support from HTC about the clock widget issue displaying the wrong time. He said that Hero users should be looking for an update soon. They already have it done and it was suppose to come out this Friday but Sprint held up the process. It may not be sent through the air but HTC will administer the update when Sprint says it is a go. Hopefully everything will be fixed

The HTC Eris being released on Nov 6th is basically the Hero with a slightly different body. I had the Hero for 3 weeks and posted alot of feedback, but my coverage stinks and I'm staying with "Big Red"...   I really liked the Hero and the Sense UI. However, I'm REALLY afraid that the HTC Eris will have all the same bugs as the Hero... mainly headphone static and the pathetic camera...(and others).

With Sprint's recent "re-invigoration" of iDEN, are we to assume that the future will see a killing off of qChat, with new PTT phones launched only on the iDEN network?   Sprint

Is there a reason the Palm Pre does not have Visual Voicemail?  Is it capable? If the Palm Pre is capable of Visual Voicemail, please let us get it as it is so much easier to handle voicemail and thus use the phone more often.

Here you go, iJustine the 300 page iPhone bill that made her famous a few years ago hates both Sprint and the Palm Pre. But to be fair she was told by the store she went to that she could not even try out the phone in the store (so really she just never was given the chance to try one). So she walked out without a Palm Pre and this also made up her mind about getting EVDO from Verizon too.

What would you do?   A little history...   1)  Before Hero :      a)  Outlook sync'ed to Yahoo (calendar & contacts)           -  One-way only (Yahoo Sync - unstable; deleted Yahoo stuff before forcing sync each time)      b)  T-Mobile Phone Tools sync'ed w/Outlook (calendar & contacts)   2)  Hero (before firmware update) :      a)  HTC Sync (v.2.0.4) to Outlook (calendar & contacts)

On page 53 of the Instinct manual, it says that voice recording and memo recording are two possibilities of Speech to Action. Then there is no further note. I've tried every possible way I can think of, but cannot get the Instinct to record a memo to self. How can it be done?

If I have unlimited text/picture/video plan will I be charged 0.03 per text message for "Vision Data"? How is this unlimited texting? It seems more like 0.03 per message to me.

There are times where I barely get Sprint service. Without the roaming only option I sometimes only get one bar or no bars of Sprint service and have to suffer through many dropped calls and poor voice quality when I could be getting full signal under roaming. This is a really cheap way for Sprint to save money and it is disappointing. Even though roaming is included in the new plans, Sprint is trying to get people

The screen is still on while we talk and the touch screen reacts to all kind of touch and bumps.   Will on another thread commented that there were no updates for the locking screen, yet he said that they wont allow 3rd party apps to run in the background for battery

well... multi-touch touch screen is one of the greatest things the ipod/iphone has. And anyone who has ever used an iphone/itouch and gave the instinct a rateing, it was quite low.

In the NFL mobile live application while listening to live audio if the screen dims or locks the audio stops. After I unlock it it says it is resuming the program. Also with navigation when the screen dims it stops the program. There has to be a way to change this. Thanks to anyone who

Was the new forum set up to be nearly impossible to find the Instinct General discussions on purpose. Baybe to hide its shortcomings from buyers doing research. No link for Instinct under Samsung phones, etc. Needs to be made easier to find!

I just recently got the Katana Eclipse X, and I want to load music from my computer to play onto my phone. So far I've been able to get .wma files onto my phone with no problem, but when I select "listen," it says "unable to play file." Anyone know what I'm doing wrong, or able to offer some advice on getting music from your pc to your phone so you can play it?

Although I do not know why Sprint chose to do this the way that they did, whether it be security or lack of an application manager, I would like to see Sprint allow unsigned apps to run in the background. The reason that this is so important is that with so much great functionality in a phone, people do not want to do one thing at a time. It's all about multitasking. For instance, I log on to a instant messaging

The NFL, Sprint TV, YouTube, Nascar and Amazon.com are not a universal interests of phone users, nor are such related applications on Palm Pre necessary.  Sprint needs to make these applications optional on the Palm Pre since there is not memory card expansion on the device.  Do any Palm Pre users agree?  If so, please contact Sprint through this forum or otherwise to have them make these applications option.

Hmmm...not that I'm a huge fan of the Sprint Airave or anything, but I just had to think. Given that there are still a solid 10M or so iDEN subs left with this company, I would think that some of them (if not a lot of them) would appreciate having better signal strength indoors (mine's generally stellar, but I'm sure that's not true for everyone). So, with that said, are there any plans on creating a femtocell

I understand the marketing behind the "everything" plans that are offered now, but I don't understand why longtime customers like myself (allegedly valued "premier" clients) should be forced to abandon plans that currently have unlimited internet and are half the price to use a new phone with an everything plan. I have become a telephone email checker and texter, like most of you out there, and I think it would be

Hello ALL--- So I'm new to bb. If anyone can help me I'd be sooo grateful. Here's my issues: 1. How can I assign individual contacts their own text ringtone? 2. While tryin to assign ppl their text tones, I made a mistake and changed my main phone tone. so now when I get messages/emails all my phone does is vibrate twice. Theres no tone anymore. I checked the active profile and saved everything as vibrate &

Is there a list of routers that Sprints supports for use with the Airave?   When I last spoke with the Airave support people, they said my Linksys wrt150n was a good router for use with the Airave. Since that call 2 days ago, the 150n died. The only replacement I could quickly get (living in small townsis such fun) was the D-link wbr-2310.   I cannot find a list of supported routers. Anyone know of a

My toshiba (Vista) is no longer detecting my Compass 597 broadband USB modem.  I have uninstalled all updates that happened in the few days prior to the stoppage, stopped any further updates, uninstalled smartview, reinstalled smartview, went to sierra for drivers, everything I can think of.  I'm not exactly the most computer literate person, but, it shouldnt be this difficult.  The enable broadband is grayed out

While the site was down I took the time to finally transfer from my Hybrid ic902 to an IDEN only BlackBerry.    As much as I loved the 902,  it really isn't comparable to the 8350i. The only thing I was waiting on was a Sedeio case and clip and a 3m screen protector and both arrived last week.   I feel pretty comfortable with keeping phone damage to a minimum now...   So for the first time in my life I am

My main need for a phone is clarity in the phone. Went back to the ic602 several times because of the voice clarity of the caller. The phone one is just about finished. I think this is a great time to adapt to a Blackberry. Leaning towards the Curve. I don't need all APPS. Some texting, some internet use. I don't have much patience for the busy phones or am I intimidated because I don't understand them? I need to

I'm giving my sister my old phone so I had it plugged in charging and I received a call that I let go to voicemail. Both of my phones told me I had a missed call and a new voicemail - how did that happen? I've received text messages but those only go to my new phone, so far! I've been told that when we switch her on to my plan that we will need a MSL code to switch her phone number to this phone. Can you tell me

Having seen the Palm Pre come out with a few applications (and more on the way) and then more recently having seen the HTC Hero come out (with an app store), I am wondering if there will ever be anything for the Instinct phone? Everytime I see an advertisement somewhere for a mobile phone app, it always states that it's available ONLY for the iPhone or Blackberry (and occassionally an Android-based phone like the
