Vision webpages non-existent. What's going on?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

I wasn't able to use Vision at all this weekend due to "Sprint updating
critical systems to deliver a better experience" or some such B.S.

Now, when I use my phone to log onto Vision, I don't see the traditional
Vision homepage (listing "Entertainment", "News", "My Account" - info).
Instead, it's Google.

When I click on "Get New Games" or "Get New Applications", I also see
the same Google search page. I can go through to all my saved bookmarks
just fine, so I haven't lost the ability to connect to anything
non-SprintPCS related... but all the useful Sprint links aren't there
anymore.

Shutting down the phone and/or explicitly restarting the browser doesn't
solve things. Is anyone else seeing this problem??

Same here. I was just waiting to see if it changed.

only an hour or two after I sent out my posting, it appears that
the PCS Vision pages are back to "normal".

At first glance, everything seems the same. I wonder if they made any
actual enhancements?

As far as I know, the upgrade was for the Vision Home page, as I could still
use Vision, accessing bookmarked pages. As for any changes, there was one
listed in a previous thread under the news link, with local TV news links. I
see something new on the home page, and that is "Vegas to Moscow" Live
Webcams. When clicking on that link, it appears to be an ad for a new
$4.95/mo. application.

I haven't noticed any other changes, but in saying that, I don't usually
access many of those main links on the home page.

WTF!! I had exactly the same problem this weekend here is Southern
California. When I would try to access the Sprint Home Page, I would get
mobile.google.com.

I called CS the other night when I got nothing but Google
on Vision. As usual, first level didn't have a clue
about what was going on. With some difficulty, I finally
got them to transfer me to Vision tech support. That person
immediately said that "only the home page wasn't working"
(in her words). When I said that I couldn't get anything
but Google, she explained that if I used Google to search,
that I could then get to any link that Google displayed.

I appreciated the information, but I couldn't get Google
to display the link that I needed. I gave up, drove home,
and used the home computer.
