Captivate Sent for Warranty

Just a little story to share:
My Captivate finally reached the repair facility in Texas on Wednesday, this week. Apparently, the back side speaker busted as a result of nothing (???). No sound would come out of it. I didn't drop it, it just stopped working. Anyway,
Free 2-day shipping was provided and didn't have to pay a cent. So far so good. I expect to get my phone back next week.
Anybody else have this problems?
If you are wondering why I sent it to Samsung and not ATT, it's because I didn't want to deal with the insurance company. They wouldn't be happy once they read the IMEI number and check their database That's all Im gonna say.

Yeah, apparently this is a very common issue. My wife's phone was doing that, and now mine is too... we are hesitating on sending them back because neither of us really want to be without our phones for a week...

A little work on your part..and you could have had a phone next day/second day aired to you through AT&T like I did

How do you do that? Call At&T Mobility? How much of a stink did you have to make?

I know att would ve sent me a replacement very fast, but like I said: I wanted to avoided trouble. And that meant I had to go one week without a phone.
This is what happened: Samsung let meet print a label online. I shipped my phone free in 2 day shipping and then it came to them. Their engineers worked on my phone for two days.then it was shipped back on a weekend. Basically it took a week, but I lived.
The phone was cleaned, the speakers were replaced and they look brand new. My usb port was cleaned since it was filled with dust.
Plus, I was given neat box and a 20 off coupon. Overall, it was amazing.
Samsung rocks!
(now I only need 2.2....)

Giving Sprint S3 SIM Card support.

Hey guys, I am going to give my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710) SIM Card support and also replace the mid-frame with one that has cutouts for both a microSD card and a SIM card. I plan to use my Sprint phone with Ting. Think it’ll work?
This is the piece that I ordered for the SPH-L710 models:

In all honesty no, unfortunatley after reading a few threads and searching the internet it seems that although you can install a SIM tray their is no way to bypass the internal SIM. Most who try can't even get the phone to power on afterwards
Here was the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002515
He started but never finished, shame because an outcome would have been usefull
Anyway, Good luck and I hope you succeed

Upgrade is auto restored to account

Question, are we eligible for upgrade already? Yes we are. I checked my account today. Too bad Sprint doesn't have the Pixel by Google; only phone I'd get.

I still have my upgrade after getting the s7e.

After u trade in the Note it will go away they told me, so i still have mine since they don't have anything i want

I haven't returned my note 7 and i do not have an upgrade on my account.
I have tried to return the phone but they deny it at the store. I bought it from sprint.com. i tried after the first recall and after the second. Sprint websites list the stores as a place I can take it to handle the recall.
I'm pretty fed up with this whole situation. I really just don't have the time to deal with it. I bought the phone from sprint this should be painless.
How did you het you're upgrade back on your account? I feel getting my upgrade after i trade the phone in or get refunded is the only way i will stay with sprint.

When the while recall fiasco started, I noticed that I was "eligible for an upgrade" on the website. That never went away even after I got my replacement. When the second recall was announced, I decided to go in and get the s7e. While talking to the manager as he made the exchange, I did ask him about the possibility of keeping the upgrade eligibility. However, he said that it was only active for the recall exchange and would disappear on this transaction. A few days later, I was on the account and saw that I was still eligible. Not only that, but they credited my account about $200 for the troubles and what I had paid onto the n7.

When do people expect to see the Nougat update?

I read within couple of months of November, so January.

If I know AT&T, it'll be months after the "official" Nougat update for the LG-V10. Better to just assume it won't come, then when (and if) it does it'll be a great surprise

I'd rather have an unlocked bootloader, but that doesn't seem to happen anytime soon either.

Still no way to get root?

I thought I saw one thread with a rooted TOT, but I am not expert in this.
What the best way to backup and restore ? ADB?

LG is supposed to get it to the carriers some time in February, and knowing at&t it could be an upwards of 4 months before its released to us, so id say between April and July 2017.

If you are on lollipop, you can root and use titanium backup. And if you are on Marshmallow or have no root, you can use Helium android and desktop app in order to backup and restore.

Out of curiosity, is the battery life better on the V20?
Also, is there a consensus on the best extended battery case for the v10?

This is a great battery / case. I have it and it works great. I would recommend a separate charger if you can because it seems the phone stops charging the battery when it hits 3,000 milliamps. So to fully charge the battery it seems better to use an external charger.

Enjoy!

A big update from AT&T is rolling out right now. My phone is now optimizing, so we'll see what it is shortly. Anyone see it yet?

Yeah, I just got the notification. Didn't see the size though. Accidentally dismissed it. What is it?

Nope - still 6.0, with a security update.

...the update specifically states it's a carrier update

When hell freezes over! AT&T wants you to buy the V20, hopefully someone can port it to us.

T-MOBILE, received 8.0 update this morning

Was pleasantly surprised to see an update this morning and that it was for 8.0. been waiting a while for this.

The Oreo update for the H918 (T-Mobile) came out a few weeks ago.

Yeah, forgive me, I've been keeping my eyes out for updates on the T-MOBILE update and I knew it was coming but hadn't seen anything. I haven't really been watching the forums where I would have seen the posts about it.

i bought my V20 (H910) when I was still with at&t. Will I get the update, or will I have to somehow do it manually? Does my phone care about the difference? Does TMobile?

AT&T only sends updates over the air, and only if you are a current customer on their network (yea, super d**ks).
If you want to update your phone, you will have to root it. You don't have to STAY rooted, you can flash a stock Oreo zip.
Of course, this wipes your phone as well...

That's a great, detailed answer, thanks.
I'm interested in doing that, a few apps, specifically Spotify has been working poorly since Oreo rolled out for the v20, and I'm not sure if it's related.
I'm not 100% up to speed with this higher level android tomfoolery, I've flashed a new kernel to a Nexus7 for a car install, but that's it. Could I ask an extra favor, for you to link me to a good how-to on getting my h910 running Oreo? Some of the other writeups seem to be different variations. I must use the att software, regardless of my current carrier, right?

Rooting is no longer a point and click affair.

Thanks, I had read that post, and before talking to you, I wasn't 100% sure that it applied to my phone being on T Mobile now.
After giving it a closer read, that sounds like the kind of thing I'd try if I didn't depend on my phone as heavily as I do, or if I had a spare handy. just a tad too much ambiguity and the stakes are too high for my current life situation today.
Thanks again though, you thoroughly and clearly answered my question.
