Another deal, this time from Target. Once again these are subject to change since the ads aren't official.

They have the Kyocera Rise for only $30 and it states no-contract on Virgin Mobile in the ad listing. This is one of the best cheap no-contract phones I've seen advertised yet.

http://bfads.net/Target-Black-Friday-Kyocera-Rise-No-Contract-Phone-Virgin-Mobile

Specs are:

Android 4.0.3 ICS

1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8655

Adreno 205 GPU

512MB RAM

3.5" 320x480 display

QWERTY slider

3MP Camera with LED Flash

microSD Slot

The fact that it has a stock looking ICS preloaded makes this much more attractive than most other cheap no-contract phones which still have GB. The screenshots could be wrong, but it shows a stock looking homescreen with no bloatware visible, although the app drawer may have some. A Snapdragon S2 is also a pretty decent processor/gpu for the price.

There is also a Hauwei phone for the same price, but it has much worse specs.
[Member-Found Deals] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Is this a door buster or available online???
[Member-Found Deals] spunker88:
Its not on their website, so its probably in store only. Although it could possibly be posted on there at some point since they do sell no contract phones via their website.

@nerys

What router do you use to forward over 3g I got a new net gear and now I can't connect to IP web cam from my phone using tiny cam app...
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
I have not used it in a while. I was using a cisco router now I have a gigabit asus router and switch (as well as the cicsco to expand wifi)

I will try it again. I DO KNOW you have to manually set port forwarding if you want to access from the outside !!!

ALSO one of the stores (best buy I want to say ???) is going to have the Optimus V I think for $50 (will try to find the ad again)

the Rise is "interesting" because of the flash!! and the 1ghz processor !! 512mb ram is nice to especially once rooted and skinned to the minimum.

Gonna have to look that one up ! DAMN its a keyboard phone. I hate that (it means limited "rugged case" options) Grrr.

but 983mb available to user 1ghz 3mp WITH flash. THIS has potentially to be a juicy security camera !!
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
Ya when i enter my external ip in tiny cam using port 8080 then on my router i enable remote managment and also try to set up port forwarding but to no avail:confused:
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
I will have to set it up again when time allows and see what happens :) make sure 8080 is not in use for something else! ie use a different port something unusual. I think I used 9001 9002 9003 etc.. for each camera.
[Member-Found Deals] spunker88:
I posted another thread on here about the $50 Kyocera phones, but there is also a great deal on an LG Optimus Slider right now from Virgin Mobile for $20 with free shipping!

[Member-Found Deals] Censura_Umbra:
Well that is just an unbeatable price. Already ordered
[Member-Found Deals] motrinHD:
sold out... blah!
[Member-Found Deals] spunker88:
It says valid through 1/3, so its possible it may still be on sale if they get stock back in. But you have to wonder what percentage of these phones will actually get activated. I didn't get one of these, I still have my ZTE Score, but saw they accepted Paypal which I would strongly recommend using so they can't give you some random credit card charge when you don't activate it.
[Member-Found Deals] Censura_Umbra:
I actually didn't order one. I realized it would be smarter to just charge an extra battery and use my phone's media player. The battery is smaller lighter and gives me even more battery life on the days I don't need media.
[Member-Found Deals] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I have one of my ZTE SCORE left of three.

the kids destroyed their two phones, One broke the screen, The other one broke the micro USB port.

They lasted 6 month's.

I keep a eye out for the next sale.
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
hit craigslist its not too hard to find sub $50 droids used.

ESPECIALLY for some reason Verizon Droids. the older ones go for cheap for some reason.
[Member-Found Deals] spunker88:
Another thing you can do is look on ebay. There are many OG Motorola Droids for sale under $50 that still work fine. Buy one in decent shape and install a CM7 ROM on it. They are known to be a durable phone so they may hold up longer than a new ZTE phone.
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
With root can you check USB host?
[Member-Found Deals] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
What does that do???
[Member-Found Deals] nosit1:
Allows for the ability to use USB devices on the device such as thumb drives, keyboards, and other peripherals.
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
I can not test OTG as I do not appear to be able to find a micro usb otg cable anywhere found my minim usb but not the micro. if I find one I will try it and report back.
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
Got a couple cases off ebay for the phones

Here is the front of both cases

one is a TPU case the other is a 3 pieces 2 part "hard" case with a silicon skin around the hard shell (my preferred case for my phones super protective)

Backside blue plaid TPU case

Backside Hybrid hard case white (I got white so it will absorb less heat when left outdoors)
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
nice cases. Please report USB host if u find a cable...
[Member-Found Deals] ddgarcia05:
Although you could make a phone call using groove IP and google voice. ;)
[Member-Found Deals] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
It told me I needed data connection.

How did you get it to work???
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
how did I get "WHAT" to work?
[Member-Found Deals] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
The GPS.

You said it has FULL non cellular gps and FAST gps too. SECONDS to get a lock.
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
that's right. GPS does not require a data connection.

so ahh wait your talking about mapping software.

google maps for example DOES require a data connection (maps)

there is 1 program I am aware of that does not require data at all.

Sygic

Navigon can be "modified" to not require a Data Connection. Once installed and if your rooted install permission denied (market) and DISABLE navigon's license check then it also will work without a data connection.

you see while navigon allows you to download maps it "checks" your license every time you start it up (IE they don't trust you and assume your a crook) if it can't check it crashes (unless your rooted and disable that function with permissions denied)
[Member-Found Deals] UrInsan3:
This got me thinking - is there any way to flash this phone and set it to another network besides Cricket? (Or is there anything I need to do going into my provider's store)?

Edit:

By the way - you can cache a good amount of map storage in Google Maps while on Wi-Fi and then refer to it later.
[Member-Found Deals] AnyMal:
I just couldn't resist at this price :D
[Member-Found Deals] Mephikun:
Probably picking a couple of these up. How much longer does the sale go on for?
[Member-Found Deals] AnyMal:
BB sales usually last Sunday - Saturday
[Member-Found Deals] chils41:
thnx once again nerys71 for posting this deal.

i picked up one more yesterday myself from bestbuy to play with.

Other two i use to play pandora in my stores.

Dose anybody know how to remotely operate pandora?

Any way this dirt cheap device is working pretty good for me.

I was gonna make a video but then i saw a bunch of em on YT.

i notices few strange things yesterday.

1. Phone randomly restarted.(just one time so far) it was in sleep mode and i saw the ZTE#$ logo on screen.

2. Week Battery. there was about 59% battery left when i stopped playing with it around 1AM, and 7AM in the morning it was completely DEAD !!!

3. My GrooveIP app works only in SpeakerPhone Mode !

well i havent activated the service but it show the signal strength n stuff, so i downloaded LTE on/off and turn off the radio. now hopefully the battery should last longer.

After doing this GPS takes few extra seconds to lock/locate my position. but nothing more than 8-10 seconds. not bad.

So this $30 device gets you.

1. Touch Screen Multimedia Player

2. WiFi Phone

3. Wifi Texts

4. 3.5" GPS*

5. Tiny Gaming device.(you wont feel bad if kids break the glass palying AngryBirds...LOL)

6. Alarm Clock of course

AND ONE MORE THING.

IT SUPPORTS 16 GB SD CARD!

that is the biggest i ve got. Dont know about if it dose 32GB ???
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
first thing I did was set it to AIRPLANE mode and then installed wifi toggle widget.

(yes you can turn on wifi while in airplane mode)

battery life appears almost INFINITE. when you disable the radio AND disable all "auto sync" it appears to be extremely efficient in sleep mode.

in 3 days I still have 98% (the 2% is most likely from me turning it on now and then to check battery levels)

I have not had a reboot in the 4 I have yet. but I removed everything except market youtube browser (accidentally removed from one) and installed lapse it and ulysses speedometer. one one I installed slacker. (slacker lets you "cache" songs so you don't need an always on data connection) although the bastards REMOVED that from the "free" service. Grrr

Adding features and not giving them to the free users is fine but TAKING AWAY the very feature that was ALWAYS available and made slacker slacker really burns. (I pay the $4 a month well worth it but does not make it any less annoying)

man the only way to make this a TRULY SICK device would be a front camera. WOW can't wait till a phone with that function becomes available "cheap" like this.

I bet by next year they WILL have them.
[Member-Found Deals] spunker88:
Put it in airplane mode, that will completely shut off the cellular radio. Other radios like wifi and bluetooth will still work. Even without activation a cell phone still searches for a signal.

There are remote control apps out there for Android that you could use for Pandora. Shouldn't be too hard if the phone is connected to wifi on the same router as the computer you want to control it from. Here are a few apps you could try:

[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
and it SHOULD be possible to do it over the net as well if you port the calls to the IP address of the phone from your router control panel. (whatever port the control software uses)

I wonder if they have a reverse log me in? I know I can use logmein to log into my computers from my phone but can I do the reverse via a simple tool like that?
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
I wanna use one or 2 of tthese for around the house cameras. Using ip can to turn the phone into an IP web can. Which works on home network. But testing using my phone on 3g and tablet on wifi as camera i can get the damn thing to forward. I set it up via port forwarding instructions online???? Wonder if it has to do with phones IP .... maybe it's time to call linsys. :(
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
Oh my god your a frekaing GENIUS !!!

that is a FREAKING PERFECT USE FOR THESE !!! and I think they make software specifically for that where it will e-mail you or upload the picture or video chunk when it detects motion.

what would be really nice is if they made software that did this but ALSO looked for a "bluetooth" dongle. so I could say carry a headset on my keys and if it detected the headset it DID NOT record and send notice (so it won't keep sending pics of myself :-)

oh yeah going to the market now to see whats available.
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
IP Webcam is NOT supported on the ZTE SCORE but it works FINE on the score (sideloaded)

install to a supported device use app backup and restore to backup the apk load to the score and run it.

works GREAT!! I just loaded it zero issues.

I just asked the developer if he can make it a setting so we can change the PORT is uses (8080) so I can port map in router and access the cam from anywhere :-)

man these $30 phones get more useful EVERY DAY !! keep the suggestions coming.

now I just need to find IP CAM software that will take pics or record a short video when motion is detected!! have not found one yet.
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
Found this software

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...iondetectorpro.activity&feature=search_result

I have to run to best buy real quick but I will try it when I get back see if it works.
[Member-Found Deals] KydDynoMyte:
The IP Webcam app I use does let you change the port in the settings, as soon as you start the app under connection settings. Even if it didn't, each Score having it's own IP address would still allow your router to route different external ports to each different phone ip on port 8080 wouldn't it? As a last resort I think you could use Connect Bot on the IP Cam phone to redirect whatever external port you want to the 8080 port you can't change.

I got this phone last week and love it. Had to put the custom sc0r3ed rom on it to be able to get flash to work.

Don't know why I didn't think of using them as IP Webcams since I have that app on my main phone. Gonna have to get some more.

btw someone reported GrooveIP was echoy on the Score in another forum. I use GV & Sipdroid and it's great. Airplane mode with wifi on and the thing lasts all day easy.
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
I can't get it to port route though.

Example. ..

Router IP is say 192.172.1.2

Phone using IP camera is ; 192.172.1.100

Ip webcam makes an address of 192.172.1.100:8080

In my router setting i have block incoming whatever unchecked in security.

I set an forward up for app "camera " to forward on say port 8000 start and end. Protocol "both " then i enable and set the port forward to the phones IP of 192.172.1.100

Save.

From my phone browser on 3g i enter

http://192.172.1.2:8000 which should forward me to my phone running IP cam right?

But nothing happens?
[Member-Found Deals] KydDynoMyte:
on router (you might have this right)

external port 8000

internal port 8080

to ip 192.172.1.100

Use you external internet IP address instead of 192.172.1.2 in the browser. Your browser phone is on 3g and doesn't know where 192.172.1.2 is.
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
Correct

you can NOT USE 192.172.1.100

this is an "internal" only IP address and will only work from "INSIDE" your network. ie anything connected directly to your router.

you need to use your EXTERNAL IP

goto www.whatismyip.com

use THAT number :XXXX and now it should "route" to your 192.172.1.100 internal ip address

so you goto XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (external ip) and it gets to your modem your modem forwards the traffic to your ROUTER

now is the problem. you have multiple devices connected to your router HOW do you get the traffic to your PHONE

this is where the forwarding map comes from where you SAY ok router any traffic that comes to port 8080 I want you to ROUTE that traffic to 192.172.1.100

and then the link is formed.

anyone know how to configure android for static IP ?

BTW easiest way to do this is to set up a free dyndns.org account

I just did EASY PEEZY now I can view my ZTE X500 cam from anywhere :-)
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
another potentially neat program (have NOT tried it yet)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dev47apps.droidcam&feature=search_result

should allow you to use your phone as a "webcam" on your computer. nice.
[Member-Found Deals] KydDynoMyte:
from home screen, menu, settings, wireless & networks, Wi-Fi settings, menu button, advanced , Use static IP under IP Settings.

I use it as an easy way for the my parents to see live video with audio of our 1yr old daughter from their web browser while on the phone with them.
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
The whole external ip internal confuses me....

Whoa lots to take in. Which device to i set up the dyndns on... like my tablet or laptop?

Man I'm still so confused. The addresses i used are fake for example sake but which parts do i have right and which wrong?

Edit. Dyndns isn't free and trial is 14 days??? Do i only need it once or what?
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
Can someone just give me instructions. I'm using no-ip. Do I need to set up a host or a dynamic DNS.... man I the it stuff....
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
I can give you VAGUE instructions some of it depends on YOUR ROUTER

you need to log into your router.

this is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1

put in the user name password.

here is the vague part. YOU HAVE TO FIND the right portion of the router. many times its under GAMING or something like that

it will be something like

NAME - Start - END - both - IP - etc.. and ENABLE check box.

you will enter Droid Cam for name start and end will both be whatever PORT you select (default is 8080) select BOTH or either for direction and TYPE (tcp udp)

now for the IP you just need your last 23 digits. to get this START the IP cam software and click how do I connect and over wifi it will TELL YOU the IP of your camera.

my router was 192.168.2.1 and my DROID connect to 192.168.2.115 so I put in 115

now you have told the router anything that goes to 8080 send to 115 (or whatever your phone tells you.

NOW goto www.whatismyip.com

the address it gives you THAT IS YOUR IP mine was 68.84.121.212

SO I put in 68.84.121.212:8080 (if left on stop port)

and now I load the IP cam.

SO RUN IP CAM get your ip address.

log into router

find forwarding settings screen

enter start and end as 8080 or whatever you want. set data to both

check ENABLE hit save settings.

run your ip cam software

now goto www.whatismyip.com get the ip address

enter that into any browser followed by :8080

so for me it was 68.84.121.212:8080

that sit. the phone should now load the server on your screen

click the java one and you will see the cam link. you can bookmark this address

BUT if your IP changes you need to goto www.whatismyip.com again and get your new IP address.

I will make a video later
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
Edit. Finally got it. Also did messing around. Only way for it to work for me was the use chrome browser and do view in browser. Doing Java on ics browser doesn't work..

Also tinycam app supports IP can app so you can add you can in that app and there is no meed for browser at all :) just tried it and its better picture. Bigger on the screen and updates faster. Just select IP webcam for model and enter IP under IP settings and port 8080 and back out to live view and walla. You can have like 10 cameras at once so imagine these phone planted all around the house lol. Pro version adds audio and other stuff...

Man now I'm going to pick a few up i think.

Back to the phone though. It has root i see. Any roms? Maybe ill get a spare and teach myself how to develop???
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
I HEAR there is a rom but unless it speeds up the phone I see no need battery life is already FANTASTIC in standby in airplane mode.

I have over 120mb free even with my apps installed. sweet

question for you guy. anyway to set up these buggers to SEND a text message WITHOUT a cellular number attacked? I am trying out the motion ip cam and it needs either a phone number or e-mail address to send too.

I REALLy do not want to mess with maintaining multiple gmail accounts for it and would prefer to not even have gmail installed (no need)

SMS is nice and clean. what happens if you try to send a text message but have no carrier just a wifi connection? anyway to make that work?

I don't need to be able to recieve (though that would be nice) just send.

yeah tiny cam support rocks !! love it.

especially since it lets you see multiple cam.s tommorrow going to set up multiple just to mess with it now that I Have 5 of these critters to play with.

here is the video

[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
Any over seas i can probably pick a few up as well. Same deal as before. You buy a few i get 1 free u cover shipping etc... will be picking a few up this week. Sale ends Saturday. All my local stores have them I'm stock so just pm me.
[Member-Found Deals] spunker88:
Finally got mine today. There was an OTA available so I did that before I rooted, don't think it really changed anything. Got it rooted using the link posted in the first post, but SU wont let me update the binary, the app updated fine. Oh well, root stuff still works with the old binary.

I removed the following bloatware apks. I usually just rename to .bak, but since this phone has such low storage I am going to relocate them to an SD card as a backup.

BooksPhone.apk (Google Books, keep if you use it)

BubbleBash2.apk

Cricket411.apk

Documents_to_go.bak

FileManager.apk (File Expert and Root Explorer are a lot better)

Gmail.apk (Gmail, keep if you use it)

mPAndroidSFC.apk

MuveMusic.apk

MobileWeb.apk (Just a useless 2nd browser shortcut)

MyBackup.apk (Use Google's backup)

Photobucket.apk

Poynt.apk

Talk.apk (Google Talk, keep if you use it)

Talk2.apk (Google Talk, not sure why there was 2 of them)

TaskManager.apk (Task Managers aren't needed with GB, esp with 512MB of RAM)

UNO.apk

EDIT: Angry Birds works nicely on this, its a little slower to load than on my D3, but once the game is going there is no lag. Having 512MB of RAM definitely makes a difference vs 256MB. Great device for children, add a few games like Angry Birds, spend $5 on a silicone case. They will have fun with it and if they break it you are out a lot less money than an iPod Touch.
[Member-Found Deals] KydDynoMyte:
If you don't want to use GV for SMS the only thing I can think of is have it email to your cell providers SMS email address, for example is someone sends an e-mail to myphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com I get a txt of the e-mail. They don't all need to maintain their own g-mail account. They can all send on the same g-mail or any other e-mail account probably. If they are all on you home network, you can probably use your internet providers smtp open relay server. As long as it's coming from one of your providers hosted ip addresses the open relay should work.

At the same time I am not sure if sending pictures will work with either of these methods.

If you can use market on each phone, it already has it's own or shared g-mail account tied to the phone doesn't it?

I use sc0r3d Rom on it, it's the only one I know of. At the time I put it on there it was needed to be able to get the Adobe Flash apk to work in Dolphin Mini browser. Flash wouldn't work with the stock rom. I don't know if a different Adobe Flash is available that works on the stock rom yet.
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
Thanks. One gmail on multiple phones works but i think he is saying he doesn't want to mess with email at all??
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
ever try sending yourself an e-mail with g-mail?

it don't work. g-mail ignores it. only way to find it is to goto the "sent" folder.

it will NEVER reach your inbox so no "notification"

even when I send to my nerys.com domain since it goes through g-mail and CAME FROM g-mail same thing. does not work. never arrives. just sits in the sent folder.

so I can access it but no notification since it never hits the inbox.

using GV for texting. is that automatic in the background? ie if an APP tries to send an SMS will it use GV if its installed and configured? (remember no cell service no phone number as a source)
[Member-Found Deals] KydDynoMyte:
What is the name of the motion ip cam app you are using?
[Member-Found Deals] nerys71:
Motion Detector (I believe I already posted a link to it)

sadly only 480x320 (stream capture)

would be nice to find one that shoots native resolution. even with a small delay is fine.

it mails you a link if motion is detected.

ip webcam is not working today. not sure if it crashed or if the phone went to sleep ?? will have to check and maybe get an app to keep it away. I WANT the screen off though (and it does turn off the screen and keep sending video)
[Member-Found Deals] DJsCrIBbLe:
Umm I gmail myself all the time and it shows in inbox and I get. Notification???
