Any Sprint users? - Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I received the $100 off email yesterday. But I'm on Sprint. And I can't select Sprint on the pre-order site, so I haven't ordered the phone yet.
Has anyone pre-ordered a Sprint phone yet?

It hasn't even been announced when pre-orders will take place.
Sprint M8

Me too, contacted Sprint, no tentative date of release. They need to get the ball rolling.

I'm waiting as well.

I must admit, I've been very excited for the release of this device. I've been a big fan of HTC since the Hero days and am still quite happy with and impressed by my trusty M7. The release of the 10 has, in my opinion, been nothing short of dismal. As evidenced by Samsung and even LG, you need to have your product available when the hype is at its peak. I'm really optimistic that the 10 will be worth the wait (despite not being water resistant, which would have put the thing over-the-top) but in this day and age people don't like to wait and with so many other great options available a struggling company can't afford to miss out on even one potential sale...

Totally agree. Should have been available at announcement.

Verizon is the #1 Carrier and seems to sell the most phones for HTC so I have no doubt that they were the first because of that. Back on the M8 sprint got the only harman kardon edition and I am think they didn't sell as many as HTC would have liked. HTC is trying to fix their profit problems in the US and one way to do that is to make Verizon happy. The sprint version will come. We already know a t-mobile phone will come as they did an un-boxing yet no announcement and I would assume its because Verizon rigged the game to be first. ATT won't sell it probably because they don't care to, they know people that want the phone want an unlocked/unlocked bootloader and will pay for it and they are possibly fine with that. Plus I assume they have have a better deal with Samsung and Apple where they make more money per phone sold. I will say it is sad to see that the unlocked version wont work on sprint, I think you can blame Verizon for that. This is only my opinion but verizon is opposed to unlocked bootloaders we all know, but since its CDMA it would be eaiser for HTC to make one "CDMA version" of the phone for both Verizon and sprint. It is still unclear if the unlocked version will have CDMA bands my guess is it wont. If it has CDMA the unlocked version has band 13 and should work on Verizon. That would be a big disappointment for sprint users since it does not have the 25, 26, 41 LTE bands. I am just glad I will be on ATT now...
I should add Verizon always gets their way, I cant wait till they day that stops but until then bye bye.

Really surprised there's not even a sign of when pre-orders are going to start yet. All the hype will be gone by the time that date arrives....

Yea, I mean I know it's first world problems, but I need a new phone and I want the new HTC.

saw a email (addressed to someone else) from a marketing VP @ HTC which said the sprint option would be available on htc.com on 5/11...take that with a grain of salt...it didn't mention if the option was to buy or pre-order, though you'd think by then it should be the option to buy!

Let's hope so

5/11....wow. I surely miss the days of the M8 launch. I guess funding is the biggest issue with availability. I hope that the 10 can really help out HTC with their finances.

Waiting (im)patiently as well. Neither HTC nor Sprint will cough up an actual date. Hopefully the 11th is true. Or sooner.

Looks like it's officially released on the 13th for sprint. http://www.droid-life.com/2016/04/29/sprint-gets-htc

Still too far away, lol. Hopefully pre-orders start soon. Thanks for the info though.

So, no contract renewals for 199$ ?
We are expected to pay for the phone AND stay with Sprint using a phone that cannot be transferred to any other GSM network?
Somehow, GSM carriers are now looking good.
I have been with sprint since they kitted out as Sprint. Hope the above is not the only option.

Consider T-Mobile if the coverage works in your area. It's super fast in most big cities, the plans are reasonable and they are modding friendly.

But T Mobile will not have OMJ

N1 now coming to sprint

http://newsreleases.sprint.com/phoe...ol-newsArticle_newsroom&ID=1403426&highlight=
Damnit... now I'm tempted to leave T-mobile. Might be selling a second N1 soon, lol. Can Sprint customers get OTA updates yet?
Thank god for the N1 not being tied to a carrier... In the past you might not have gone with a carrier better for your situation because they didn't have a great phone. I didn't go with Sprint since the "best" phone they had for me was a outdated version of the PalmPre but now the N1 closes all the gaps between carriers and allows anyone to have an amazing phone on any carrier.

Likewise... the only reason I decided to stay with T-mo was because of the N1, and I didn't want to pay $35 more a month to switch to VZW. Now with it coming out on Sprint, it could mean I'd have incentive to switch even with the T-mo ETF.
This gets me excited...Now when will it be released is the question...?...And will this phone gain popularity like the iPhone..?

I believe the Verizon and sprint launch will happen at the same time.
Personally, from my experience, Sprint has the worst customer service out there.

N1 available for any carrier so that all can be with coverage/pricing plan they prefer? Brilliant.

things have changed in recent months/past couple years. I joined the sprint scene in august with the palm pre, and then returned it when the hero was announced and waited the 1.5 months till i could buy it.
ive had my own instances of being involved with customer service, and 9/10 times I really feel like sprint CSR's went the distance at least to make me feel valued. there is one instance where they didnt, but thats about contract dates, and all 4 major carriers are sticklers about that.
do some research on it for the latest reviews on sprint customer support.
back on topic, true story, this user will definitely be one of the first customers for the nexus one on sprint.
This is very exciting news. Development for the Nexus will be strong for a long time to come.

As someone else already said... times have changed at Sprint. AT&T has the worse customer service, followed by VZW... T-mo and Sprint are the best when it comes to customer service. I guess the bottom two have to have something go for them, lol...

Wonderful news. I'll be the first to ditch my Sprint Hero for the Nexus One. I am beyond tired of HTC and their antics. A Google supported phone makes me much happier.
Bring it on.
Will they finally stop being dickfaces and allow someone to activate on a Sero plan ?
Thats the only way Id recommend Sprint to anyone. I admit there cellular service is fantastic !...but there customer care left a bad taste in my mouth.

Why is there no release date?

I don't understand... Both AT&T and TMo have released their phones (although AT&T's isn't suppose to be released until Sunday), yet there still is no release date even announced for the Epic. Futhermore, EVOs are still out of stock. Sprint is really dropping the ball.
I search everyday to see if a release date has been announced as it's the day I move from Verizon, but I'm becoming impatient.
Given that both the CDMA(Sprint, Verizon) versions of the phones have not been given a release date. I am going to guess it has to do with some difficulties or issues with this version.
The GSM(ATT, TMobile) versions were so quick because they are nearly identical to the original.

What I find interesting is that I don't think the Epic has even passed FCC yet, whereas the GSM versions passed FCC months ago.

not necessarily - the Captivate was only submitted to the FCC on 6/11 and is launching just 5 weeks after.
I’m not sure if the FCC makes records available immediately once they’re submitted, or if they wait until after the devices have been approved. In the second case, they could have already been submitted and we still wouldn’t see them listed.
Question to mods - I tried posting a link to the Captivate info on the FCC site, but I'm too new. How long does that restriction last? thx
tweeted by samsung 2 hours ago;
"if you are on Sprint, make sure you pick up the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G. no launch date/price but it's coming out this summer."
I asked them to define summer
You can have the FCC withhold information until it is close to release date..
So far the most precise release date I found was late july -early august for the epic 4g...the verizon one best I found is late august - early fall

It is possible that radioshack may not stock the Sprint version at first because of their recent dealing with T-mobile and it competing with the Vibrant...

Nope, I'm guessing mid to late August. I was chosen to be the store rep who gets the phone early, and I'm expecting the phone this week or next. Usually we get them about a month earlier than the general public.

If you get the phone, can you check if there is a SIM card slot or not? thats pretty much the only major information that we have not gotten confirmation for...aside from the release date of course lol
If I get an EVO now, and the Epic comes out in 30 days and I want to switch, is there some fees I have to pay?

No just return the Evo say you didn't like it and tell them you want the Epic instead. Pay the difference if any (which I doubt) and walk out with the new phone. If you're buying from a Sprint store be careful this may mess with your rebate, that's why I buy Best Buy Mobile or Radio Shack I hate rebates.
If you swap phones within 30 days, there will be a $35 restocking fee.
As for the Epic, there's no SIM slot, can tell you that with 100% certainty.

By that you mean you actually took apart the device and saw it is not there?
cause so far the specs that were outed a month ago were dead on and there was a mention of it having a SIM slot in there...of course that was possible to be in only the prototype..
gTen, SIM slots are a standard requirement of GSM phones. Sprint is a CDMA based provider. So no, it will not have a SIM slot.
More details here.
Was under the impression worldphone sprint blackberrys have sim cards,
as does iden devices technically. I'm really doubting the epic will be a world phone though

Yes I know that much..but TP2 did CDMA and GSM..so do the BB, LG Fathom and a few other phones too...
The SIM card slot was mentioned in the Leak of the device..aka its CDMA/Wimax/GSM..but so far other then the leak no one has confirmed it or denied it thus far with actual evidence...

Interesting. I am REALLY killing myself staring at pictures of these phones. I have a Samsung Epic 4G (not the Touch), and am dying with this archaic phone.
Anyway I find it interesting that your source says that AT&T is releasing the phone in late September since this week is as late as late September can get, and we haven't heard the smallest hint of this happening.
I am with Sprint, and although my contract expires October 15th, I think that I would only have to pay a prorated ETF, and this may be the best reason that I could have to go to AT&T.

No way this phone gets released this week. We could all dream on. I'm guessing 10/21 sounds right. I just hope it isn't in November, cause I just sold my GS3 while the resale value is still high. It would suck to have to wait 2 months while using a OG epic for a phone.
Great pictures. I am so looking forward to getting this device.

I've also been told by some friends that work at T-Mobile that this guy could be arriving as early as this week in their stores. No gurentees but they said that's what they've been told.

HTC One in Canada.

Thought I would start this thread for those who have info regarding the upcoming release of the One in Canada.
I have pre-ordered mine through Rogers. I believe the pre-order ends on March 22. Perhaps that is when we may expect the release of the One. That's the most solid info that seems to be floating around.
Anyone have info related to the Canadian release date, please post.

Just moving back to Canada and need to get a plan and phone so im leaning towards Koodo as it offers good plans.
Really hoping the production delays won't be affecting us Canadians too much. I'm keeping close tabs on Mobilesyrup for any news regarding the One's release. Didn't go w/ the pre-order through Rogers. Figured I'll probably get it faster if I check various Rogers stores the day it's released.

I did the opposite. I bought a One V from Koodo outright ($175), put my Telus sim card in it and was up and running in no time.
A Telus or Koodo "locked" device work on either. My "my Telus Mobility" page even shows a Koodo One V as my current phone.

Be careful, MOST of devices work on both carriers, but som eare locked to Koodo or Telus. For instance, Blackberries are locked, you cannot use a Telus Blackberry on Koodo.

Damn I am jealous of all you guys. I got an HTC One X+ about 4 months ago. I would love to have the One but I need to wait for the next iteration. I know for the vast majority of people the storage is enough, but I need at least 64GB. My one X+ has 4 GB free and it is 64. Here is to hoping for the next one. I love the build quality of HTC devices compared to other android vendors, and from what it seems this one is the best so far.

Yup, blackberries are unique because of BBM and the fact that their email etc has to be routed through their servers. That is also why all companies have smartphone plans, then blackberry plans due to the licencing fee. If it is not a Blackberry, it should be fine. The fellow I responded to was asking specifically about the One

I am hoping the 64gb version of the One makes it here (in black). If not, 32gb is fine for me at least. I got the One V as a temp phone cause I was pissed last years One XL and S had only 16gb versions for Canada. Almost jumpsed on the One X+ but figured i'd wait for the inevitable spring / MWC ish flagship that HTC always releases. I am glad I did.

I read that it would be available in March. I haven't read of any delays in Canada. Nothing other than they won't disclose a launch date and it is nearing the end of the month.
So perhaps it no longer is March.

I called and talked to a rep last week. He had no information either. I've been (im)patiently waiting since the day Google announced the phone. I was only a couple of days away from being able to upgrade, and had my mind set on a Note 4. I've been getting more frustrated every day, as one of my co-workers went and looked at the N6 at the freaking US Cellular store. US Cellular! They have it before Verizon... I'm concerned that Verizon is taking all of this time to lock the phone as tight as the Note 4, which is still un-rooted on VZW. I live in a small rural area where our ONLY coverage is VZW and USC.

Thank Samsung for that. I don't know why anyone thought differently given the Note 3 bounty is *still* outstanding. And with Android L's change wrt kernel and root...odds are it will never be rooted.

Oh, I agree somewhat. Knox blows. Samsung Touchwiz is my least favorite. BUT, the Note 4 is rooted already for the other carriers in the USA, but even (last I checked) over $11000 worth of bounty for root access on the VZW version hasn't had any success. If that was because of Samsung, the Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T versions wouldn't already have root access. The Note 4 hardware is amazing, we just need the ability to put different software on it. I hate Verizon... I may switch to US Cellular someday. They historically haven't had flagship phones available until the last year or two. But, there still isn't much in the way of Dev support here for their phones. What good is a monster phone if we can't hack and crack a bit? LOL

BUT, the Note 4 is rooted already for the other carriers in the USA, but even (last I checked) over $11000 worth of bounty for root access on the VZW version hasn't had any success. If that was because of Samsung, the Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T versions wouldn't already have root access. The Note 4 hardware is amazing, we just need the ability to put different software on it. I hate Verizon... I may switch to US Cellular someday. They historically haven't had flagship phones available until the last year or two. But, there still isn't much in the way of Dev support here for their phones. What good is a monster phone if we can't hack and crack a bit? LOL

Half the problem with dev support is the insistence that every USA carrier have a unique SKU and mutually incompatible firmware. Which leads to community dev fragmentation to the max. Which is squarely on the manufacturer to blame. Knox and the locked bootloaders are also on the manufacturer. With Samsung's mobile division bleeding oodles and gobs of money this year, maybe Samsung will mend their ways.
Samsung's problem is that they went from making 2-3 high quality handsets under one brand (Galaxy)....to making dozens of handsets each with 5+ different unique carrier/region-specific SKUs.
An announcement on the 31st on when Nexus 6? What that it can be pre ordered in March or something and maybe 1,000 available
There are two golden rules you should keep in mind when speaking to ANY type of VZW rep:
1 - they have absolutely no information on the phone, its release or anything else related to it - plain and simple.
2 - they have been instructed to try to keep you on VZW, so anything of a delaying comment that will keep you hanging on while the first rule is in effect works for them, not you.
The phone only has two SKU's - We're going to find that VZ will allow it on the network (because they have to) and they won't sell it.
I said it first, and time will bear it out. I hope I'm incorrect. the only thing that will indicate it is here on VZ is a press release or seeing it on the website by magic, period. Anything else is just pure speculation and wishing.
Well, heres to pure speculation and wishing...:highfive:
But forreal. You suck vzw.

It is extremely unlikely at this point that Verizon will carry this phone in stores. That has been the speculation from the very beginning. Big Red will allow it on its network, but will never sell the device.

I just talked to my inside business rep and she just found out that it is not being released until February. Pretty pissed!
Winter is coming...
Be ready cuz its coming... The Motorola Droid Turbo 6! It will be full of bloat and skinned in the most obnoxious Motorola overlay. I'm sure it will have all the same specs with maybe a faster processor. It will have 5 different Verizon logos plastered all over it. Of course the bootloader will be locked and we will never see root!... God I love Verizon!
I just had a meditation session with my spiritual king. He let it be known to me that Verizon will release the Nexus 6 in... and then the session ended. I'll try again tomorrow.
The number of people posting their opinions as fact in this thread is hilarious. Nobody knows anything, period.

Nexus 6 on Verizon
My Motorola bought Nexus 6 works great on Verizon, and with Moto Credit im paying just like you would if you used the "edge" program from VZW... Oh and i didnt have to give Verizon any cut of the sales which is just icing on the cake!
Why wait? Buy one from another carrier, swap Sims.

We probably wont see any Nexus 6 in stores at all. Nobody has the Nexus 6 locally on any carrier cause its sold out.(I've checked, XMas present.) If Verizon wanted the sales they would have already done it.
When i went into Verizon to get a nano sim for my N6 they didn't even know wtf it is. They're like oh that's not going to work on our network... I had to walk them through what to do to get my device working.
