So, as much as I love the Evo 3d mine has some dead pixels, light leakage, and I do not find a use for the 3d and would rather have a better 2d camera. On september 16th the Galaxy S II comes out on Sprint, and it looks flawless minus the fact that the screen is not qHD, although the colors are suppose to look great.
If I cancel my phone ( I am on a family plan with 5 other phones ) and have my dad say I am leaving for college need to pay my own plan (I am not) and then sell my 3d, and open a new line with sprint on the same plan and buy the phone at the contract price? I would be able to use the money from the Evo and leave with a profit. Also, I know I would get a new number which I do not care about.
So, what do you think? Is this a good idea, and is it feasible?

Aside from the fact that I heard it was actually up to 9/15 for the contract change (could be wrong, I haven't been paying too close attention) that sounds about right to me.
I'm thinking about doing the same thing, though I was under the impression I could port away my number to wherever I would be going.

Sweet. I might give this a go then
Can someone tell me if this will work? Cancel my contract, port my number to my old htc hero, sell my evo 3d, then buy the galaxy when it comes out and port my number to that. Does that work?

Probably would have to explain to Sprint what your trying to accomplish though. To make sure you get galaxy for contract price, but I'm sure it still be fine.

I don't think they would port your number to Sprint because that technically would not be porting. Also, what contract would your old phone be on?

LOL. I think u have to port your number to a carrier other than Sprint or its not considered porting ha but I could be wrong. That would be funny if you could port your number to a new Sprint line and get a new Sprint phone. That will save a lot of hassle for ppl who take advantage of $0 to get out of contract, switching to boost or virgin mobile than back to Sprint to get a new phone with a new customer 2 year price.

Damn. I'm half tempted to try this. Except it'll extend your family's contract, right? My parents wouldn't be so willing to wait a whole extra year to get out of this contract just for me.
I think it works like this. Go to boost of whatever , tell them I want to port .tell sprint that its because of the new policy. Port it over then go back and open a new line. Buy the galaxy then port it back. This won't extend any other lines.

Rather than the free ETF, why don't you have them end the contract, and ask to go month to month?
Alls you gotta do thereon is sign a new contract with the new changes, to get the sgs2 at the discount price.
Note on asking for month to month, it can be hit or miss. Just be personable and ask kindly, I guess.

Contract date and upgrade date are 2 separate things. Your contract runs 24 months, but they let you upgrade after 22 months (which starts the 24 months over).
If you want to keep your number, port it to a pre-paid cell phone.

Both of those lines are still on your account and the account is still in your name. So far as I understand it you can do this on a per-line basis. I don't think any line is considered the "main" line that anchors your account.

Call them up and let them know that you would like to cancel that line without paying the ETF due to the material change in the contract verbiage. Phrase it however you see fit. I'm sure they hear it all.
The key point here is that every line is bound to your account by it's own contract. There's nothing fancy going on here.

Problem with this that it takes 3 billing cycle if you send your phone in. If you take to store, it's immediate. I'd rather get the trade in immediately and just buy from any of the stores that gives $150.
Will try ebay or craigslist first so I won't have to pay at all.

Given the processing power of the Evo 3D, it will likely get an ICE CREAM Sammich update when it's ready. Most of the benchmarks aren't tailored towards a dual-core chip so they're inaccurate anyway.
This phone is fast, fast I tell you! It's definitely worth it if you LOVED your EVO 4G/Shift. Battery is better for most people, Sense UI 3.0 has finally been coded properly and done right.
Verizon wants me to pay them a $1000 dollar deposit to get a phone with them. I laughed at them on my way out of the store. They have nothing, NOTHING worth a grand.
with only a year before switching carriers, it sounds like your tired of the shift, and/or have the money to spend since your buying out of contract...with that said, the evo3d has lots of devs support from my perusing of these forums...many came from the evo4g...cant say whether their are more or less than the og tho...still have my rooted evo4g and love it, my new 3d is also fantastic! So i think for you, a rooted evo4g, or a 3d stock/or rooted would fit the bill for the next year
as one who was on the shift (as is my wife still) from the pre-root days I'll speak to the community aspect of your question.
To put it in a visual...
3vo = Phantom menace opening day
shift = revenge of the sith a month after release
in regards to the off-contract...that's your $, your call

Call me a sprint fanboy, but I have been with tmo and att and both were horrible. Im glad to be in the sprint boat at the moment!
Another thought.. I think ATT puts a high deposit on some queries because "we can make more money off them on our pre-paid systems" so lets put a HUGE deposit on them, then before they walk out offer them the pay as you go phone!

I think you should just cancel Sprint I got just over a year and my etf is only 90$ and I got Verizon thunderbolt (is just like the EVO but better processor ), the data speeds on Verizon 3G are so much better then Sprint considering that they have way more customrs, Sprint wasn't bad till in april, they been having some speeds that I don't like (0.25/0.35 mbps download ) and there 4G is a joke , LTE download speeds are outstanding and it stays connected 99% of the time here in las Vegas , yes the prices are higher but their network is better, Sprint needs to do something pronto, the EVO been my favorite phone so far and the only the could match it is my old iPhone, but if the network sucks there is no point is like having a lambirgini without gas, I'm just waiting for this month bill to cancel my line , I'll be paying more for less minutes but then again i don't use my phone to talk much and I got a company phone so is all good . BTW I got it without deposit at all only bought the phone

I call to cancel and they want 180$ and said my contract ands next year?
WTF? I signed a 2yr contract. im confused as f^@#
Also, anyone know any tips on waiving the fee?
I am confused, you signed a contract knowing that if you cancel the contract there is a early termination fee.... And you are mad?
No I'm actually shocked .. I'm suppose to be in a 2 yr contract.I signed in June and they told me my contract ends next year when I called to cancel ..
Also they said the etf was only 180 but on the website its like 400 strange..

They are terminating end of contact dates if you complain about their capturing of encrypted data. Simply ask for proof for your compliance manager. They would not give me new phones, but canceled all my contracts, which was the next best thing. The downside is you will lose your phone numbers if you do it for upgrades.
You'll shoot your eye out (in 3D)

Let's try this again. If you ask for proof that carrier iq is not capturing encrypted data or you want the etf removed from all phones. Sprint will remove etf so you can get a new phone on a new line.
So you can get any new phone if you want, but you are setting up a new contract with new number.
It's also your way out if you are unhappy with Sprint. You just have to be nice to the representative.

You can port your tns to google voice and then back again if you don't want to lose your telephone numbers.
Your ETF actually starts to go down after 5 months into your service. Because you have a $200 ETF, it would go down $10 each month and stops at $50.

Do you need one off contract? It's $49 on contract now...
Yes, especially if the guy is going to give you the ibeats too.

Well my current contract doesn't run out till december and no upgrades till august
I'm sure if you call in you can get em to bump your upgrade date esp if its only like 4 months away.

Really? That's extremely disappointing considering just a month ago I paid $199 for it.

Is that even possible? To convince the almighty Verizon to give me an early upgrade
yea u can^ keep calling around... someone wants a sell
200 is an excellent deal if its in the condition they say it is and has the beats headphones. It's still a good deal without the headphones.
make sure you verify the esn before purchase.
Its easy to get early upgrades from Verizon if you call them. It has become pretty difficult in store as of late as they all seem to have the same script. Just tell them your current phone is driving you bat **** and you cant take it anymore. Also mention you've tried to wait it out. They will ask you what phone you want, and then they will send you the phone overnight for whatever 2yr price is currently listed on the VZ website. Your upgrade will vanish and your upgrade cycle will restart.
You could always buy the Rezound off contract now and get whatever phone is at the top of the pile in august.
I picked up a GNEX on CL for 275.00 even though I have an upgrade available. It replaced my sons DX2. I'm saving the upgrade for the next great VZ phone, which will save me from a 600-800 dollar off contract price on release day(impulse buyer).
I currently have 5 lines and I try to keep one upgrade available at all times just in case.

Agree with everything this dewd said. Same philosophies with 5 lines too.

I've gotten upgrades 1 year + early. Just depends on who you talk to and what you say. Also factors such as tenure, payment history , ARPU (how much $$ you are worth to VZW) etc etc.
oh wow that could mean I could get the rez for 50 bucks now. I really don't see too may phones popping up other than the one v but even then we've hit a point in hardware where only battery tech may improve over the next year. 1.5ghz dual core and plenty of ram will run sense4.0 easy along with any 3.5 rom.
I've only been with vzw for a year and a half now with a family plan of 3 lines but my phone is my main line of work communication calls emails etc.

They're pushing out Quadcore SoC's already this year. It's nice but totally unecessary, at this point hardware is overpowered. At this point in game it's all about software optimizations. But manufacterer's need to make them cash dollars $$$. Just try calling Verizon when they open up tomorrow and see if you can get your upgrade pushed.

Call Verizon, I believe they will credit you if it's been within a certain period you bought the phone.

Is this phone still worth $200 barely used? I want to replace my old incredible asap.

id say it's a steal considering most rezounds i see on ebay and craigslist still go for $300+.
I bought this phone in June because my original Evo 4G stopped working on me. After a month I decided I wanted to move on to Verizon as Sprint didn't/doesn't have LTE in my area.
I assumed I'd be able to sell the phone in order to pay my ETF. I read online that it was possible. I then contacted Sprint to see if this was true and they informed me that it was not and that if I would like to sell my device I'd have to pay my balance which has grown a bit since ending my contract.
All that being said, the point of this thread is that now I have a mint condition phone sitting in the box on my desk. (This is not a classified post)
My whole point is, what options do you think I have at this time? Sprint says I can't sell it without paying my huge balance, I've already purchased a GS3 on Verizon so I don't exactly need this thing. I hate to let it sit in it's box doing nothing as it is a very nice device... and I'm definitely not giving it away
What would you do with it?
The sad thing is, I'm always wishing the camera application on my GS3 was as awesome as the one on the Evo. I really like the Evo 4G LTE but I couldn't live with 3G anymore.
I can't use is as a PMP because my GS3 handles that duty just fine...
Don't mind my babbling rant/complaining :silly:
It's your phone, you can sell it whenever you want to. But if you owe money, then the esn number will be blacklisted and whoever buys it will not be able to activate it until the balance on your account is zero.
Sprint will not let anyone else activate the phone untill you settle your balance with them. You could sell the phone for what you owe on your sprint account and pay off Sprint. I don't know how much you owe Sprint but it could end up being a wash and least you won't have it affect your credit.
Yeah, that's what I meant. My balance is a bit more than I could sell the phone for and I'd be more than happy to pay the balance if I was able to sell the phone to help offset a huge chunk of it.
Have to sell it to someone who wants ro flash it to a prepaid service live metro pcs, bad esn doesnt matter to them companies

That's a good idea. I'm guessing selling a phone with a "bad ESN" will bring down the price a bit, eh?
How much do you think I should expect? As far as condition goes, it is flawless.

Thanks for looking that up for me. :good:
...too bad Android phones don't hold their market value like iPhones, haha.
Probably because ifans will pay anything to fit in/look cool. And everyone knows, Apple's the coolest, right? Lol
from my flying AOKP'd Evo LTE and xda premium
Why don't you pay what you owe and then sell a clear phone for what you can get.
Buy a cheap phone off craigslist and put it on your account. Then sell the LTE and pay off your account.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
By curiosity, how much were you looking to sell it for?
Activating another (cheap) phone is the way to go. It will clear your Evo from the account and the cheap phone becomes the one with a bad esn.....

you could sell your phone with your sprint contract you just wont get that much for the phone but will relieve you from your contract. thats is your best option. you could just get rid of the phone for like 50 to 100 dollars but they have to take the contract that remains on that phone.
