Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I think it ends 6/20...

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Mine still works. It is supposed to be de-activated by the end of the day today.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

never worked for me. did unrevoked root, still no workie. just got done with full root, nand backup, setup for custom rom gig and haven't tried tether yet, still using touch pro as a wired tether now while kid is surfing net on my phone.

Edit: now wireless tether 2.0.2pre14 wont even start. i really need to figure something out if i want to shut off my broken touch pro (my net connection for past 10 months)

I killed the I/O account on launch date. Move EVO to my main account. Didn't want to carry 2 phones around.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

bingo

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I kept the 2 accounts. I'm waiting until they deactivate and going to make what I'm sure will be a vain attempt to switch it onto my SERO account. The time has given me time to test, explore, risk crashing it, etc., without worry. I didn't always carry both phones.

I wonder if it will cut off right at midnoight, and what time zone that will be in.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

So I take it you could not convince BB or Sprint to let you keep your plan?

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I never tried. I wasn't sure I'd keep the phone. I'm in my 50's, and had more phones, cars, and whatever, than I can remember. I normally never buy a phone on the day of launch, I wait for a few weeks to see how things shake out. That's what I did on the Mogul (bought it), TP1 (skipped it), waited a week on the TP2, and bought it, etc. In the case of the EVO, I got it for only $400 8 days early, so I knew I could sell it before launch if I didn't like it

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

So...they still working?

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

As of 10 minutes ago, yep

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Sprint wouldnt activate mine on my custome account I called them several times and expressed my points both with anger and without trying to fanagle my way into some sort of work around. No dice! I had unlimited data and text but aparently that wasnt good enough for sprint. I needed an ED plan according to there reps. They wouldnt even discount an ED plan for me. I offered to meet them half way which would mean they would have had to take $20 off the ED plan the so called manager said they cant do jack. More like they wont do jack. I am not happy with sprint but I have the last laugh. I hooked into an ED family plan with my wife and added my good friend to the plan I know pay 10-20 dollars less a month then I was and I get more. I guess it works out for me and sprint... Either way it should work out better for me. With my old plan whenever I would call sprint they would treat me like shit. I think because the plan was pretty good they pretty much didnt care at all about me being there customer. I have been with sprint for around 10 years and have never once missed a payment. These ****ers have better get there act together cell phone companies are starting to compete more and more and I imagine prices will start lookign similar eventually with all carriers.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

There's nothing wrong with what they're doing. Just trying to make money. If they let you on the cheaper plan then they have to let everyone else on it too! It's still cheaper than all the other carriers. Quit hatin' or get a job with BB or Sprint. $25/month for 1500 minutes and unlimited everything else. And you could use it with your EVO or any other phone. (EVO can be added to 3rd party plans beginning in July.)

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I wonder if they don't turn it off and I keep using it on the Google IO number, when I finally go to switch it, if they'll try to charge for the time after the 20th. I don't think they'd have a leg to stand on legally, they could have turned it off.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Still working at 5:30 AM

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Still on for me tooo

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Just pray thats not the case... if you have any unpaid balance they will block your ESN till is paid in full.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Anyone have the 800 number they gave to activate the google i/o phones (and to get the discount)?? I didn't get the paper with my phone..

NM: Found it

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

1-800-527-8405

I think the discount is only for new customers though.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Thanks, I needed that phone number too, perhaps, though I suppose regular Telesales would work also. Mine is still working, and I can be a stick in the mud, so I think I'll hold out a little longer and see how long it works. I'm not in any rush to pay more every month.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Not for new customers only...Ive been a customer for about 5 years now and they offered me wifi hot spot for $19.99 instead of $29.99..They added 100 minutes to my account(not much but hey its something) and Also lowered my monthly premium by $20.00..Then added the $10 evo fee..In the end i have a bill with 100 extra minutes and $10 cheaper.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Make sure you dial 877 instead of 800...

1-877-527-8405

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Just came back from sprint store, the rep told me after checking the phone, that I would need to contact google to find out why it's still connected, it's on a google account, no cost to me but maybe for google.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

At least with that number you are instantly connected to someone, although I have never called Telesales so I wouldn't really know. I'm surprised that they haven't shut it off yet.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I'd use it till it dies!!

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Oops, my bad.

Really? Damn when I called to activate mine they didn't offer me anything. Maybe I should have asked, all well.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Google may give all the I/O phones free service,that would be awsome.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Mine still works. Let's see how long it lasts.

On a different note, I ended up selling my retail Evo today since I didn't have any use for two. I had been using the retail one this whole time which is version 0003. When I switched to my Google I/O phone, version 0002, I noticed it was much smoother for some reason. Same exact software loaded since I transferred the backup from my retail Evo to the Google I/O phone. Very strange...wonder why it would make a different?

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

That would be sweet, Wouldn't it be funny if sprint got google caught up in a 2 year contract for the I/O phones and they couldn't cancel without ETF's...........

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

lol..

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I registered my I/O phone at Sprint.com,I saw there are 4200+ devices listed,the service date was from 6/17/10 to 7/10/10,please see the screen shots.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Holy shit thats a lot of devices. Looks like someone screwed up on the whole 30 day free trial thing.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Still working as of 6/22

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

wonder how long they will be activated for?

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

Mine still works as well. I heard that there was around 6000 phones handed out in Google IO event so looks like only 1700 of them activated under personal accounts according to attached snapshots above. Not good for sprint.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I don't see it that way. I'm sure most people were under contract, most to other carriers. I wouldn't expect most people to pay an ETF and all that. Clearly a huge number were sold on Ebay and Craigslist. Like mine, they will get activated in due time, but I'm content enough for now to have the 2-line lifestyle.

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

May be Google will pay for the service on all IO phones for a few months for us,that would be great,is it possible?

Re: Does your Google I/O EVO phone still working as of 6/20?
 

I think we should end this conversation before it draws attention from account managers.

Anyone seen my tinfoil hat?
