Arrrgg...

My cell phone keeps dying and I've missed several calls lately because of this.. I think I'm going to need a new phone, but I'm stuck with Sprint until this september.

WTF do I do? I don't want to stay with Sprint after the contract expires and I don't want to buy a new phone if I'm only going to use it for another 6 months..

I think there's about $100 early termination fee..

 

kill it dead.

 

Could be a bad battery. Have you tried replacing it?

 

^

 

how does it "die"?

Sounds like you need a new battery...

 

I was thinking this, too...
It just turns off by itself and if I turn in back on, it's got full battery power.

Do batteries cost a lot? I don't want to buy it before knowing it IS the battery problem..

 

Take it to a Sprint store and have them look into it.

 

call them and complain...sometimes if you complain enough and talk to the right people you get just get your service ended.

 

post a thread in the phone forum asking for someones old sprint phone. Im sure someone has something laying around that will tie you over until your contract is up.

 

Been wanting to PS all day but Jerky won't start a thread

 

all you have to do is take it to the store and they'll look it over for you and if they cant fix it they'll give you a one.

 

it aint the battery. . .

the phone is damaged, its happened to me on a few phones, usually caused by water.

any recent exposure to liquid? did u throw it across the room?

^ two reasons my phones always broke

 

No, it's definitely not the liquid.. It happened to me once before with my other phone, so I've been pretty careful with this one.

It's a samsung one with flip cover.. I noticed when I close it, it dies.

 

i had verizion first, and they checked it out for free and gave me a loaner phone meanwhile they checked it. They said i had to buy a new phone....

Nextel is the same exact way.

Free loaner phones all around! i dunno how much i trust the people that check the phones. Based on lack of knowledge, and that they want my money.

I'd get it checked out. or put insurance on it, and then have it replaced once the insurance goes on.

 

If you can tell me the phone's model numer, I might be able to help you out.

 

Pay the $150 Termination Fee and go to Bimmer and get a nice new free phone

 

actually there is a cell phone virus going around right now. the thing infects the phone as a message. you open it and it them reproduces and sends to your whole contact list. it travels even faster via bluetooth

MAIN THING IT DOES: DRAIN BATTERIES.

the new age of hacking has arrived.

 

Could it possibly be the connection between the phone and the charger? I know on my bf's old phone had that problem. He would plug it in to charge for hours and hardly any charge was added to it. Eventually he got a new charger and it was alright.

 

The explanation is that gnomes are living in your phone and conspiring.

 

did you reset the caddyrompus pin meow?

 

Absolutely false. Where did you hear this?

 

He prob heard it in the INTERNET!!!

Def the funniest thing I've heard so far...

 

I guess urban myths start in NYC haha

 

I had a similar problem with my Motorola. I changed the charge time to normal from 'quick' and it stopped the problem.

 

Yea..that usually is the problem...either that or the flux capaciter..

Its a Symbian OS Virus

 

No absolutely true, it's for symbian phones /w bluetooth.

Cool phones you don't work with

 

Look at this US 2 Kansan's Owned another Kansan HAHA

 

This is old news, I already knew about something like this (one alledged case does not mean epidemic spreading), Dave you and I even talked about this. There are less than 1% symbian phones in the US, and the virus CANNOT affect any of our other phones. I never said there was no such thing as a virus, it is false to say there is a cellphone virus spreading across America because cellphones cannot have viruses, only the operating systems that are capable like Windows Mobile and Symbian; none of the regular Motorola, Sanyo, Samsung, LG phones....

Bottom line is 99% of cellphone users (even those with Bluetooth) have absolutely nothing to worry about. I really shouldn't be commenting on this so consider if off the record.

the new age of hacking is NOT here yet, it's not even close. Your "regular" cellphone is immune, continue to talk as usual, you're not going to get a text message or email that going to infect your phone lol.

 

I have a Nokia 6600. Nothing cool about it.

This is cool.

snoop video

 

I don't know if this is the model number, but it's VGA1000 by Samsung...

It looks like this:

 

Sanyo 5600.

Here's another, Gladiator. It's a sample of the entire 2.5 hours of the movie in the phone, it looks very very good (much better than my poor vidcam is showing), it ffw quickly, it's not choppy, and the audio is loud. Very useable.

 

I'll give all your cell phones HIV...if you dont stop complaining...

 

 

GSM Phones come with a built in STD Protection Feature, Unlike CDMA Phones

lol jp bro

 

actually it was on cnn. like i said, its a possibilty. its hitting asian countries alot more then US. their phones are alot advanced then the ones we have here.

i assumed that everybody already knew about this so i didnt explain it all the way but KENSTEELE hit it on the head.

we dont need to worry for awhile, but a new age is emerging

 

I see a good 100 phones a day from customers...i have heard every story, gimmick, and possiblity for someone to have fucked up there phone...

 

Behold the Cell Phone KING, Mikeys words are god to cell phone users
