[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] *Luke*:
Im pretty sure this is in fact a samsung phone issue in general. I came over to sprint and the e4gt from verizon and the fascinate. I loved that phone, but it had this exact same issue. I have not in fact had it happen to me so far with the e4gt yet. I have a sneaking suspiscion that this issue goes hand in hand with undervolting, but thats just my own personaly theory.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tripsyk:
Happens to me on the rare occasion as well. Might be an issue with the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I called this one during the LOS era. It definitely occurs in low signal areas. I could never get LOS so I went into known dead spots and sure enough those random pop ups happened
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IsThisOneTaken:
I noticed there were a few other threads on Samsung devices with issues.... hmmm. Did you ever try limiting your underclocking to a higher clock speed? This may be a noob question but for the EG4T, is anything less than 800mhz considered underclocking?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IsThisOneTaken:
I believe I remember seeing your post haha... I'll see what I can do if I mess around with clock speed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ac1680:
Can you install this CWM with Prime running Honeycomb 3.2.1 ? As I know the bootloader from Asus is only for ICS OS. I don't want to update to ICS to install the bootloader/CWM recovery.

This is my second Prime from Asus, the first one was bricked from the ICS .13 update. Just want to use CWM Recovery to backup the whole Rom, so I can alway go back to it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Not possible. You can't put CWM on until you unlock the bootloader. You can't unlock the bootloader w/o upgrading to ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zurui:
I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm basically waiting for a honeycomb rom so I can always go back to it just in case. My prime works perfectly fine on HC and it suits my needs. I'm too paranoid to change it unless I can go back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Your paranoia doesn't serve you in this case. The current stock .15 build from ASUS is fantastic all-around. You won't be able to load CWM unless someone cracks the bootloader and ports it down. You could be in for a long wait for no particular reason. I've run every build of Virtuous rom and it's fantastic. As long as CM9 keeps its pace up, that may be a viable switch as well.

Shame you're missing out...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ac1680:
True....... I am always in favorable of Custom Rom. But, I bricked my first Prime during the .13 updated. If I install the unlocker bootloader from Asus, it'll void the warranty. And there has been few cases got bricked by using it. Just don't want take that chance again....... Beside, HC OS is working better(WIFI & GPS) than my bricked ICS OS. Maybe, that's why Asus send me a replacement with HC OS??? No point of switching right now. As ICS is still quite new so as the hardware Targa 3. There always be bugs and more update to do.

I just hope someone can come up with the full crack version of unlock bootloader for NVflash CWM Recovery, so I can do the full rom backup and recover from CWM in case anything go wrong.

Hi all, for a couple days my display is not going off when I'm talking. i tried to get the battery off, then put it back and I had this - my display was going off the second I press the call button, than the only way to switch it on was to press power button...after 2-3 times it got the same - doesn't go off when talking.:confused: Stock rom (2.3.4)
[Atrix 4G General] quordandis:
This may sound weird, but have you checked your Display Settings? Go to: Settings>Display>Screen timeout

Make sure that "Never timeout" is not selected. That could help....?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Hey all. I just recently reflashes my SGSICS rc4.2 onto my Cappy and after installing most of my apps and doing my setup/settings I wanted to do a Nandroid back to create a good working image for future use if necc but it will not complete and keeps freezing about 3/4 of the way through..

I've done backups many times before on this same phone with same rom/kernel and recoveries too but this one keeps freezing during the backup up of data part during the whole process...about 3/4 of way through... left it there for over an hour but no movement..reboot and tried again a couple of times but it stops at same spot every time...

am i stuck now and will probably not be able to do a nandroid backup at all on this image? any ideas?

or am i stuck on wiping everyting and reflashing it all yet again?

thanks

If you are running Icy Glitch b5 it's an issue from the kernel.

I have found that formatting the /cache partition before doing the backup prevents it from freezing at /data. Maybe it helps. :)

i have the same problem that everyone have it in samsung galaxy sii and the problems is :

1-losing email by saying (lost connection) or (your phone in air flight mode) or (losy connection with yahoo server but the connection will restore automatically but if the the problem persist contact yahoo)

2-blue pointer sucks that it supposed helping u to fix or edit some words when u type email by moving it to the word that u want to fix it but it too hard to move it to can fix it and always not appearing good by hiding 90% of it and thats not it easy to move it by ur finger.

3-when u open hotmail email on mobile then u sign on from computer thats u find emails as not reading and thats annoying..but this problem has beed fixed in yahoo mail now.

i hope it fix soon
[General Topics] danam:
With new phone prices without a contract around $500 and upgrade prices for the hot models running $99-250, I was thinking maybe I should shop recent used, i.e. an Incredible 2 or even a Galaxy Nexus or RAZR now that the Maxx is out. So checking eBay and Craigslist, and various forum marketplaces I am seeing that used pricing runs from $100-$300 on the Inc2 to $300-$500 on the Nexus and RAZR.

My son just got an Inc 2 upgrade for free. Why would anyone pay $100-$300 (widely asked) for a free phone? I might pay $50 to play with it. Why would anyone pay $400 for a used Nexus or RAZR when you can upgrade for $199 or $249 (less with a new account). I would pay $100, OK, but why pay more than the upgrade price? I understand the desire to avoid a contract, but seriously you have to get service from somewhere. I can't believe that many of the people selling these things paid full retail, so how can the used prices be more than most people paid in the first place. There can't be that much demand and the supply increases daily.

Please explain.
[General Topics] MissionImprobable:
Some people have just upgraded recently and can't do a new contract before their two years is up without paying a pretty decent fee. It's cheaper to buy the phone from someone else and maybe get rid of their old phone than to pay the price for getting a new contract. Some people here also own multiple devices and switch them out often, so it doesn't really make sense to open a new contract for each phone. Check people's sigs: some members/devs here have four or five devices at a time.

And just in case you don't know why there's a charge for early upgrades, the carriers give you the phones at discount because over a two year contract you will end up paying down the expense they took. If they give you a new phone every six months you have gone through around $2000 worth of devices and they certainly won't make that up just from your monthly bill.
[General Topics] 85gallon:
It is all in being eligible for an upgrade!!! People who break, drop in toilet, or lose their phone are the ones paying. They had a new phone and liked it. But they broke it and aren't eligible for an upgrade price for another two years. They would have to pay full price. A used phone at $250 is better than paying $500 from the provider since you have no upgrade options.

I like it. My last two upgrades I have made money!!!! :D I had an original droid. I upgraded to my droid X for $299. $100 rebate brings cost down to $200. Sold for $250 on ebay!!! :D Old droid would have cost someone $400 from verizon if they weren't eligible for an upgrade. They have the phone they want and saved $150 versus buying a new one from verizon.
[General Topics] danam:
I understand why it works for the seller :D . But this sort of presumes that more people are dropping phones in toilets than are buying new phones and retiring old ones, and I am not sure that can be so. Alternatively, it assumes that a real lot of people want to upgrade in less than two years and are willing to pay hundreds for the privilege; and I am not sure that can be so either.

I guess that I am cheap. But if I am entitled to pay, say, $199 in 3-6 months I am not paying more now for used equipment.
[General Topics] Crashdamage:
Some carriers give a cheaper monthly rate if you own your phone. I always buy phones outright either new or used and save money overall.

nothing is free.

My phone cost me £120 new which came with a PAYG sim.

My contract sim only is £13 a month.

I could have got the same phone on contract for £35 a month.

So I would be paying an extra £22 a month on a 18 month contract, after 5-6 months I would have been payiing more for the phone and be out of pocket. The contracts where the phones seem free have you paying for the phone monthly instead.
[General Topics] 85gallon:
What are you going to do? Pay $50 on a throw away so you have a phone for the next 3-6 months or just go without a phone for that time?

Also, a lot of people don't realize that their old cell phones are worth something. They throw them in a drawer or the garbage or they recycle them so they can feel good. I hope they never find out!! :D

I will be getting a free RAZR in a few months!!! After rebates and ebay of course!! ;)

I was actually digging through some old stuff a few months ago and I ran across an old Moto Z6TV that I forgot to put up on ebay when I retired it years ago. I put it up on ebay and got $40 for it. I think it was3 or 4 phones ago. And I let the prospective buyers know it would be needing a battery soon in the auction listing.

Peeps need them for something. Maybe they know something I don't and are stocking up for the Zombie apocalypse. Who knows. I don't care as long as they are buying!! :p
[General Topics] red12355:
Not everybody wants a contract. You can get a contract and pay $1k-$2k over the course of 2 years for a "free" phone or you can get a significantly cheaper pay as you go service and pay $200 for an unlocked phone.
[General Topics] KayxGee1:
I do business on CL all the time. This time of year is notorious for high-priced phones. If you wait until spring and summer really hits, phones will be available left and right.

Usually CDMA phones are cheaper as well, so if you look around daily, you'll find a good deal.

[General Topics] 4redstars:
In the past two years I've gone through 5 android phones and saved a ton of money giving the phones down to my wife and mom and never have to sign a new contract. Currently my wife has an Iphone, my mom a nexus s 4g, and I traded my android phone for an Iphone 4s...I'm going to sell that 4s and get a white Epic 4G Touch for 350 tonight, the Iphone should sell for a decent amount, I'm not out to gouge anyone but the Iphone holds value well (I hated the iPhone or I'd keep it but I miss android)
[General Topics] orangekid:
Well let me explain how it makes sense. Here's my actual history:

Buy an HTC Touch Diamond for $125 close to when it came out on some weird contract thing.

Sold Diamond for $200, bought iPhone 3G when moved to tmobile for $250, did a few other deals in between, but ended up trading the iPhone 3G for an HD2 when HD2 came out on tmobile. Sold HD2 for $250 a couple months ago, and moved to ATT and got a Galaxy Note on Contract (thru a friend $10 add a line) for $300 (soon to be $150 back for the promo), for all the deals I did between there I probably netted a few hundred dollar profit, bought and sold tablets as well (used most of them, I'm not trying to be a businessman here). You get to try out a bunch of devices this way.

If you take care of them, the resale is worth the original purchase. If you bought a Galaxy Nexus unlocked for $650 like 6 months ago, you could probably sell it RIGHT NOW for $650 easy if you took damn good care of it.

It's just how it works, you're not really out that much money if you're smart about how you do it, I've dropped $400 on devices and stuff and used/resold etc...
[General Topics] I Am Marino:
I agree with the general idea of the thread, some used phones are too much IMO.
[General Topics] rustyguy:
There is a reason people are paying the used phone prices and I'm willing to bet they checked their options before dishing out a few hundred dollars.

We all get that most providers essentially mortgage you a device through your plan but if you don't fall under their qualifications to upgrade then your about to realize how much these little gadgets actually retail for. If you can upgrade through your provider that's your best bet. If not the used market is probably your go to option.

[General Topics] Crikey83:

Taking into account that most phones are essentially a computer in your pocket, the used prices should reflect upon the age of the tech, total use time and who the owner was.

In the IT industry, hardware drops in value quite rapidly due to new gear coming out.

If the handset is a current model of it's class, then expect a premium price.

As for iDrones, they are like the fashion industry, you pay for a label and a social status as an iPhollower.

for what its worth, used galaxy ace's were been sold for more then I paid for mine brand new.

from what I can see on ebay people usually only take 10-20% of the price of a new phone unless there is obvious damage. if you find a retail phone with a discount it will be less than used on ebay.

My personal experience is that if you try to find a used phone on the E bay the price has no sense, but if you look in a local site of vacancies you can find good occasions, expecially if you make an offer that is lower of the asked price.

[General Topics] mikeschevelle:
You dont understand because you dont understand how cell companies work. THat phone you got for "free" has a retail price of $500. You are givien it for "free" because built into your monthly rate is about $15-$20 worth of "we gave you a free phone" charge. So the reality is the phone isnt free. You need to understand that.

So when someone really wants a new phone but doesnt have an upgrade they have 3 options. Buy it at RETAIL, cancel for $200 ETF or more and then get a discounted phone through someone else, or buy a used one.

Option 3 is always the cheapest option.

Look into T-Mobile Value plans. We dont give you any discount on any phone. That means that our service is at the very least $30 per line cheaper every month. You add that up over a 2 year contract and we have saved you a ton of money in comparision to your old carrier, even after you pay full price for a phone.

[General Topics] scyld:
Also, it bears noting that as portable devices, cellphones break. A lot. And people don't always have insurance or warranty coverage for their devices in case of an accident.

This is also another good reason why people might pay quite a bit for a used device prior to upgrade pricing, especially if they could not LIVE without Angry Birds on anything less than a Super AMOLED or Retina display...
