If you are pissed off at the Sprint is restricting Samsung phones...READ THIS POST!!!

First, what are you complaining about, and what does your subject mean??

 

Everyone should sign this petition. Maybe Samsung will put pressure on Sprint and then release a software update that allows snap media to work. There are currently 108 signatures.

 

Samsung put pressure on Sprint!!!
Sprint can drop Samsung like a piece of garbage.
You think Samsung can pressure Sprint......

 

are u joking? wut phones would sprint sell if they dropped samsung? u think everybody would buy sanyos if that's all sprint offered? ridiculous.

i bet 75% of the phones sold by sprint are samsung.

 

Sanyo is quickly climbing the market behind Samsung. Sprint would have ample time to find a replacement, because they are in a contract with Samsung, which most likely states that a certain amount of units (phones) must be produced, or for a certain amount of time the phones must be produced, for Sprint. If Sprint drops Samsung, they will still be receiving Samsung phones until the contract is up and by then Sprint will have a replacement I'm sure.

 

This an't Europe or Asia.
Majority of cell phone sold in US are sold thru service provider.
You think Samsung has gut to tell sprint that they don;t need their market.
Get a grip.
Service provder has the power, not the other way around.

 

I'm still kind of confused about this issue. I bought an A500 last Friday, I am quite upset that I can't put images and ringers on it (as it is) but did Samsung actually remove the capibility to do this, or just won't come out with the cable that will enable it. I have no problem with it as long as somebody releases a product that'll let me x-fer images and ringers off my pc to my phone.

I put a lot of blame on Sprint, if I went out and bought the Camera for my phone it would upload any images I took to sprints web site then I could download them to my phone. That means they (Sprint) could eaisly make it where I could just upload from my pc to their photos.sprintpcs.com site.


They have one week to fix this

 

I added the petition link on the forums of http://developer.sprintpcs.com under "Ringtones"

There are apparently more unhappy users than you think!

This is why a lot of European companies are going out of business, dumbass!. What do you want? A phone that works for a few more months with free downloads? or to pay for a service and keep the company alive?

get ringers and images for free. you can even upload your own and send to the phone.

 

just so everybody understands that when a company has a patent pending blah blah blah that certain things like codes and stuff is illegal to get until that patent has expired. so all the pettioning in the world is not going to get your generic pics any faster. its called free enterprise.

 

I dont understand why Samsung wont allow custom ringers and images on the A310 phone. That baffles me. Verizon isnt trying to be a monopoly over downloads like Sprint is, and the A310 isn't even compatible with the Get It Now service! GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER SAMSUNG!

 

goto www.PCSpix.com you can upload your own images from your computer to their site, then access their site again from you PCS vision phone and download those images to your phone. the image you upload needs to be small enough to fit on your screen 128x119 pixels should be about right, and file size MUST be under 60kilobytes. Membership status' are explained on the site.. The have not yet figured out how to do ringtones yet, but at least you can do images... Hope the helps!!!

 

I don't fault Sprint for trying to control and profit from the process, AT&T has charged for ringers and images for years. I fault them for advertising all these wonderful things the phone can do and then screwing it up with a shameful implementation. They have had the same 130 horrible pop music ringers since inception. They could easily add the ability to upload your own images for a small fee but don't. I have the camera, and it's terrible. Cheap, but terrible. The images are washed out and mostly blurry. Plus it's cubersome to connect to the phone, upload to Sprint, the download using the phone. They could shut everyone up and make plenty of money if the charged for the ringers but offered several thousand high quality ringers including some "normal" ones. Charged for images but again had a library of thousands of them, maybe animated ones?. They could charge a couple bucks a month for a vault and some simple image conversion software to use your own images.

I just don't see how a major company can so obviously miss the mark. It's pretty sad when you see a Sprint commercial or see that stupid camera in the stores and find yourself saying "Yea right, that works". I've said it before, someone wrote a wonderful business plan to implement an all digital, CDMA based network of cellular service with state of the art phones and handed it to a band of incompetent monkeys to execute. Very disappointing.

 

i really don't understand your anger. after explaining the patent thing. and yes maybe in your particular situation you've were unhappy. but if you are going to fault a company for implementing avenues of revenue. you need not to work first and live off the land before calling an entity you have no idea how to run money hungry. this whole economy is based on making a buck wether it be right or wrong. other than having inside information on how to run a billion dollar companies that millions of people depend on for their livelihood. for someone who may have a legitimate complaint you seem to ramble on like a spoiled three year old. grow up.

 

lol how true

 

Damn. I didn't realize how old this thread was... lol

I signed it anyways and was number 372!

 

Okay a couple hundred people join Wireless advisor everyday, but in three months only 372 people have signed this petition....I'm sure it's going to get some attention...

 

Or you can go to 3gVisioncorrected.com and upload images, midi files and qdk files for ringers for just a small, one-time donation ($5). This is by far the best way to go if you don't have your own web site (if you do have your own web space then you have a lot more options).

 

PCSpix gives you the first 10 transfers for free. So free to try is better than donation to start.

As far as the best way by far to go,
t1mmy and spryde both have free uploaders.

Besides, did you happen to look at the date of the post you quoted?

That's ok, I didn't look at the dates either.

 

Well, I did notice the thread was started in September. But you never know... information is always valuable.

Those two free uploaders are good to know about. I suspect we'll see others as people figure this stuff out. It took me all weekend to configure my site so I could post downloadable screensavers and ringers (now I just have to get QCP to work).

I did try PCSpix and, yes, 10 transfers for free (actually, they offer 10 per month, so it's not only 10) is nice. But $5 forever is very reasonable. In any case, I couldn't get PCSpix to work so I'm not going to recommend it (it might have been just me or perhaps my phone, but I could never log in properly. Doesn't matter now, of course, that my site is working).

 

387 yes 387 when I signed mine

I am still looking for a phone that works with the PCS Vision plan. I went through the N400, LG5350, Treo and I am turning everything back to the store. I can believe that I was out of work for two weeks looking to solve my communication needs. Why would they (sprint) do so much false advertising without having a class action suit?

 

My A500 works with Vision -- just exactly what isn't working for you?

This is emerging technology, and I wouldn't expect it to work terrific just yet. There are lots of bumps along this road, and if you're not into dealing with early adopter technology you probably should wait for a year or so.

(I'm also in Nevada, but I suspect you're in Vegas, while I'm having good luck here with Vision in Carson City).

 

it's ok, sprint blows ballz anyway, let them rot in hell..
