Mine took all day. Once I got it home after work and put it on the charger, it went through a few boots and finished.

Right, it was 6 hrs for me too. Soon as it booted up, I'm like "WTF just happened"... I thought it wiped my device.

I also attempted for hours but it was ultimately just a wait until the provisioning delay on Sprint's end ended. Finally got activated
The same issue prevented reactivating old phone for the period. PIA

I work at Best Buy Mobile and Sprint has been having major problems the last few days with activations. Its all on their end.

Just mine from Radioshack and activation took a few minutes with Sprint.

Ya mine took a few hours.
Did anyone else notice it reboot and go into download mode for a minute?

Yup mine took forever. It was so annoying and then I had to set my screens up again as well.

[Q] homescreen shows for a quick second when waking device

Has anyone else run into this issue? Once in a while when I wake my phone, my homescreen appears for like half a second and then it will go to the lockscreen. It doesn't do this all the time but certainly more than half. It also happens using either stock or adw ex launcher. Can't think of why it would be doing this. Anyone got a fix or a reason as to why its even doing this?

I've noticed that on mine as well.

It happens on my device as well. Few people on other threads have complained as well.
Looks like a software issue.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Yup same. Slightly annoying. I think they will need to push out a software update soon to remedy some, if not all of the issues brought up by us early adopters. =)
My phone randomly exits apps when using them.

yeah it does it here too but not quite sure why it bothers anyone it goes to lock screen faster than i can react after waking anyways. probably just a quicker freeze oif state when it goes to sleep than it should and doesnt have time to cahnge it over.
Its happen to mine as well. Funny thing is that I got my gf the sidekick 4g and it does the same thing

Must only be affecting phones released this week lol
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Same, no biggie though
Lol this is a issue? No wonder the forum looks like a hate on the phone session ....
Happened on mine a couple times. Hasn't done it since the first couple hours I used it.
I have no problem like that. My wife doesn't.
The phones take a couple days to settle.

My Vibrant running stock Froyo does exactly the same thing. Flashes the home screen for about 1 second then goes to the lock screen. Odd but not really a problem.
My phone does this as well.
Mine does the same but not every time which I think is even weirder. Its not a big deal at all though just surprising.

Exchange

When u exchange a phone do u get 30 days on the new one?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I just exchanged my Titan for the skyrocket and was told the 30 days is from the 1st device purchase, it.does not reset with the new handset.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
I was also told when I took back my TITAN that the 30 days doesn't reset. Due to this, I used a family members upgrade as I didnt want to try a different phone and be stuck with it. Turns out the skyrocket call sound quality is great .

OK what if I take it back then buy it with a new number
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I'd imagine if you bought one on a new line then the 30 days would be in effect for the new line, the new line purchase would not be affected by the other line you'd be returning.

OK thanks guys I'm going to cancel this line that's still under 30 days then open a new line
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I think they have a policy on that. Would you be opening with same info or using someone else's info.

Return for a new Maxx?

I have had data available on 4g yet ultra slow download speeds. Phone switches to 3g and it was faster than 4g until I called tech and the reset me on the network. It has been good since.
The other random problems are being connected to service but browser does not respond to touch. Have had to reboot twice for that.
Touch tones on speaker phone are not correct so my pins enter improperly.
Love the phone otherwise.
Should I go grab a new one while I can?
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes. Mine works perfectly
Taking mine in tomorrow to swap. Hope to get a developers edition but will not sweat it if I can't.
Started doing slow download deal again and when trying to send contact card, force closes.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Here is what I am getting on 3g the higher numbers, and 4g, the one lower number(tough to get it to even connect on 4g).
If it wasn't for having my tonsils cut out yesterday I would have taken it back today. I have two days left to get a new unit.
Looks like my epic connection is not allowing me to attach the speed tests.
3g is 1.48mbps down avg
4g is .11mbps down the only time it would connect.

How would you exchange for that? You pay full retail or have they began subsidizing developer editions
Sent from my XT1080m using xda-developers app.
They just swapped for another consumer edition and go figure, still having the same problem with data. Tech support said go get another phone. Has to be the network though.
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
One of the tier 2 guys did something to fix my phone, just not sure what. The new phone runs cooler than the first one as well so back to happy camping.
Due to a tonsillectomy I cannot set up voice actions for most likely another week.

I don't even think verizon sells anything but the consumer editions. You have to get the developer editions from Motorola. Right?

You can install safestrap. I know it's not ideal but it's better than nothing.

Yeah that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna test this phone out for a day or so just to be sure there isn't something wrong with it. If there is I'm gonna make a call to audition and tell them i don't want a refurbished one...

Thinking of dumping my S4 and getting this since they can't seem to unlock the Bootloader...
