[Motorola Atrix 2] typicalexbf:
Thanks, although not what I wanted to hear. Hmm..I could either pay to get the lapdock 2 for 200 bucks -_- or just sell my phone and get a different one. Or do a trade. I dunno, time to bounce around the options. I can't be bothered to play doogie howser this month!
[Motorola Atrix 2] tysydenham:
The digitizer is like an invisible mouse technically with no mouse you cant open apps unless you can do it all with the other hardware on the phone. It is connected to the phone with a ribbon cable, it's pretty much necessary.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
There are phone repair shops that will order OEM parts and replace the glass+digitizer for you... check around locally.
[Motorola Atrix 2] typicalexbf:
The part costs about 50, but doubt part+repair would be anything under 70+ so most likely will do the repair myself next month or just trade-sell the phone. If I find a lapdock 2 for 150 then that is a third option that I'm willing to consider and will jump on it like white on rice.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kindacrazyazn:
Ya sorry to give you that information but like tysydenham said it just won't work. You could always try to do the repair yourself?
[Motorola Atrix 2] lilhaiti:
The digitizer is not that hard to change, I've done several of them on different phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Every time I need to run it, do I need to re enter the terminal codes? VNC didn't run it after a reboot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
Yes, you do. If you have the paid version, there is a button that does the terminal commands for you. Also, has anyone tried this on CM9? For me, it seems it starts up fine, but when I connect with VNC, all I get is a gray screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Yep, works for me on cm9.
[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
Does this ubuntu include audio?
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Doesn't appear to.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cringer63:
I have tried this one a couple different roms now, all I ever get is a grey screen. Ubuntu works via CLI, I did apt-get update and apt-get install firefox just to check, ran fine. in VNC viewer though it's all grey screen. Can't find an answer to it yet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
What image did you download?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KSmithInNY:
Try the 10.10 lite image and set resolution to the phones native 960x540. Also try the LXDE UI. It's been a while but I vaguely recall gnome causing a delay prior to painting the screen.

Good luck
[Motorola Photon 4G] whitefreeway:
anybody tried this on cm10. ive tried ubuntu installer and complete linux install no matter what options i choose either vnc fails to connect or i get that grey screen, has anyone gotten this to work. am i doing something wrong or does it just not work at all on cm10
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2insane:
Hey guys you can save 199.00 and get this phone for a penny. No activation, save over 200.00.

You asking how.......easy

Until March 26, 2012 goto Amazon Wireless. All Sprint 4G phones are .01

Upgrades are not .01

Add a line/New Activations Only

I just got 1 for .01

Note: I am not spamming any website and I am not affiliated with Amazon or Sprint. I just want to spread the news so we can get some new equipment for almost free.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
This does not compute.

edit - Jeez. New customers only. Loyal Sprint customer already? Bend over.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Highway 55:
Pretty typical. Once you sign on that dotted line, they don't give a **** about you anymore. Pretty back asswards business model, but all of the carriers are the same now. Your screwed no matter who you go with...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattheyu:
Amazon will get more of a kickback for a new customer than an upgrading customer. It's probably not in their best interest to offer this to a new customer.

If you had an evil friend though, they could sign up, get the phone, install RoamControl and push a modded PRL, and tether/stream constantly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Their doing this to get rid of wimax phones. I advise waiting 1-2 months for the galaxy nexus if 4G is most important to you. Rumor has it that it will be released in a month exactly.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chaosbelow247:
During black Friday week, my family got 3 Samsung epic 4g touches from amazon wireless for .03 cents total! This is the same exact deal and its so worth it, love this phone:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2insane:
I missed that deal, guess I wasnt really looking for a new phone at the time. Been happy with my HTC EVO, but well its just slow with all my apps and such. Need more memory and power.

But yes Sprints website shows it for 199.00. Plus nothing free. So you save big time. I hope its comparable to the EVO.

Lets just call this Dark March. Ends 3/26. But you can get any 4G phone for .01

But no Iphones. But heck a penny is better than 199.00.

enjoy the savings!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RS Gray:
I took advantage of this since I've been thinking of switching from T-Mobile to Sprint for the past few months. Just got my phone this morning and I already love it. Definitely worth my penny!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwesomeTurtle:
So when someone asks "How's the phone?" don't you dare say "Worth every penny."

or I'll punch you in the mouth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
I jumped from Verizon when they offered this on black friday. Got an Epic touch, Photon, Nexus S, and an HTC evo3d for less than a nickel. Had to exchange the Epic due to LoS and it couldn't have been easier. Highly recommend it if you can.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
Well kinda. Technically if ur adding a line that would make u a current customer. I just ordered one for my sister. That's the first time I've ever gotten something for a penny in my life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
Current customer, new service. Yeah. Nice opportunity to snag a new phone and activate it on your own # while passing on the old phone to the account you just had to buy to score the penny phone.

Unfortuntately, I don't need another line.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hedggie:
Just got two in the mail today. :D I found out about the deal a few days ago, decided to finally make the switch from AT&T. Also Amazon gives you free 2-day shipping.

Worth every penny
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxvsmith:
Unfortunately I found out about this on gizmodo X_X

But I could not believe it. I had a friend at work who got her Evo 4G for a penny during black friday 2 years ago. She said it was so easy to do and there weren't hidden fees.

I have been wanting to switch to sprint for months. I've decided that the Epic 4G touch is for me. Yes the camera is what is making me go crazy about it. It looks like an amazing phone too. Sam's club fluctuates the price between $45 and $99 and target has theirs for $99. Amazon had it for $100 first, then 74, and then 45. I could not believe how fast the prices were dropping. I know it was either because of the SGIII coming out soon or the galaxy nexus coming to sprint. I am fully aware of the GSIII and it will probably be awesome but I am fine with Epic Touch 4G. It will take a year or two for sprint's LTE to have wide coverage as well.

I am currently on a family plan with ATT with my iPhone 3GS and I will have to break the ETF ($165..like I'm waiting til december) but it will be worth it.

I have no credit though but I am so fortunate sprint is only charging me $50 for the fee. When I went to ATT 2 years ago trying to get a plan of my own they wanted to charge me $500 to hold for a year because I had no credit. WTF!?

I am a little nervous about the credit check though. I just went to sprint today and was told I have 30 days to start the service but after 30 days another credit check will be required. I don't want a lot of marks. I read on Amazon Wireless FAQ that amazon does not do the credit check and that it goes through the carrier. When I was having the credit check done the lady asked for my contact informations, social security, and asked how I want my billing set up and I got a confirmation email.

So my question is since I partially started singing up for Sprint will that be continued or restarted by going through amazon wireless? I went through almost all of the amazon wireless until they asked to run the credit check. I just don't want to have it checked twice in this fast duration of time. But nice that being on my own plan I will be able to build credit too :)

Thanks everyone and I'm glad that others are excited as well and I hope that the Epic 4G Touch has a good lifespan and community for a few years :)

Oh also I heard some people mentioning that you also get free 2 day shipping? Is that only if you have amazon prime? (used two prime trials already) or is that the promotion with amazon wireless. Like the waived activation fee if activated before march 19th. Thank you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
I jumped on this deal as well, I'm coming from a g2x that I still love for many reasons however this is too much of a good thing to pass up. I'm looking forward to Monday can't wait to pimp it out!

This will hold me over till we get the next galaxy :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxvsmith:
I'm glad everyone else is fortunate.

Bit of warning though. If you have bad credit or no credit (the latter being me) sprint requires a deposit. However, amazon does not have access or is not authorized to do the deposit. I got everything ordered and instantly an email stating the order was cancelled because of that reason.

I am dissapoint =/

Best buy cannot price match online stores as well. So, I did the next best thing and got target price matched. They are $70 at target.

I had a great experience with best buy mobile though. The guy was cool and it was nice having someone I can relate too. He was curious on my view of android and iphone too since I am leaving iPhone and I told him. I got the zagat shield installed in store too and that one guy did it lightening fast. It fits perfect too. Should have had them do that for my tablet, but I did alright.

So hah...everyone else paid a penny but they have to wait a few days. I paid $70 and have mine now..charging. Muahahahaha
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RevAtB:
Awesome!!!

I jumped at this after going a week trying to find the best coupon combination on wirefly and letstalk. I've been trying to get my wife out of her old LG ev3 on Verizon, her contract is finally up, so this was wonderful timing.

Sprint said no problem to adding the line, and once its here, sliding the phone numbers around, and finally porting her # in.

I ordered a APEX case and a 16G Samsung C10 SDHC card the same day, both of which arrived today before the phone, because UPS doesn't consider Sat a "Business" day.

Come on Monday!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ebaum1:
This is how I got mine! Added a line, got the Whitey, and will have them port my number and cancel old line...bam!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LxMxFxD:
Not sure if this has been covered yet but Amazon charges a $250 ETF if you cancel before 181 days.

Not a big deal if you plan on keeping sprint service for more than 6 months but if you planned on buying phone and dumping sprint/service, you will be hit with $350 + $250 ETFs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bartcrusades:
My TMobile contract is ending and I just bought the E4GT on Thursday, and I wasn't aware of the free activation, so when I checked my Sprint account earlier today I saw there was $36 there, so I decided to just pay it, but I then realized it was $36 credit.... Lol

But I'm looking forward to using this phone :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brekec88:
I Have horrible credit and sprint did not charge me any deposit fees or money down or anything like that. They also let me add another line, and still try to get me to add another.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxvsmith:
Seriously?

I have no bad credit at all I even checked recently. I just had one mark from when ATT checked my credit. Checking the credit caused a mark.

I guess it's true what they say. Any credit is better then no credit. Could be my age that's a factor too. But anyways, I LOVE THIS PHONE. The screen is so awesome. I did not realize how good the screen was until I was using the comixology app. It's probably not better then retina display in terms of pixels but the colors are so vibrant and amazing. When I read them on my computer my computer cried.

Haven't rooted yet though.
[General Monetization] vitthala:
Hi there,

I'm planning to make a windows app. What's the probability of making money on windows app or in other words is there any chance of making money on these app. If so, let me know the process. Making a rental car windows app.

Please respond with any information u have. Till now I didn't get reply for my questions in this forum.

Thx,

Cindy!!
[General Monetization] andrew789:
Well, if you are planning on making a paid app, getting profit from it will be a lot harder now. The reasons are:

You can't put it in the Windows Mobile Marketplace since it's closed

Windows Mobile has barely any marketshare now... Maybe Windows Phone 7, iOS, or Android...

Not a lot of people exactly love to go to other websites and tell them their credit card number...

And if you were planning to develop the app in a .Net language, try Windows Phone 7. The marketplace is the fastest growing ever, and you don't need to teach yourself a whole new language...

Anyways, good luck! :D
[General Monetization] tomed:
Are you referring to Windows 8 apps?

I'm sure there is some sort of a market there right now and the market is only going to grow.

If you have something you can quickly port - I'd recommend getting it in and seeing what the return is.

I believe Microsoft are running a points program now to entice developers to get apps in their store. So for every app you earn a certain amount of points that you can use to buy things like Halo or Windows 8 Pro etc...
[General Monetization] danialgoodwin:
(I realize this is an old post, but perhaps this information can help future forum members looking for the same thing.)

Hi Cindy!

Yes, it is possible to make money with a Windows app, whether is it for Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8. You can search for "Windows apps case studies" to find others who have made money off the platform [1][2].

The great thing about Windows is that there is less competition than Android and iOS. So, you have the opportunity to own a much larger market share with your app.

[Kindle Fire General] ledd760:
I installed OTA root keeper and since then when I mount the USB it freeze up and crashes. It resets on it own some times and sometimes I have to reset by holding down the power button. I uninstalled OTA and its still happening. It may just be a coincidence due to bad timing,
[Kindle Fire General] shravbits:
Root keeper screwed with the usb settings probably. Since it messed with mounting, you might have to restore via kindle fire utility if your computer can detect it
[Kindle Fire General] ledd760:
Couple Questions.

Will restore wipe my data?

Is this normal for root keeper? is it safe to try again once I restore?
[Kindle Fire General] shravbits:
Yes this will wipe ALL data. I have never heard about root keeper screwing with mounting. It only screws with ota updating. I don't think you should try again though.
[Kindle Fire General] ledd760:
OK all figured out. It was an error with my pc and the kindle ws just bad timing. I totally forgot my ipod wasnt being recognized earlier today. I finally put two and two together.
[HTC Rezound] stkiswr:
What a tumultuous last 1 1/2 years w Sprint. I had an EVO, nexus s 4g, epic 4g... While not bad phone at all I must admit I missed the service. I will say that the EVO was my favorite. That's why I'm here today, I really liked htc. Samsung has great phones. My wife still owns sprints galaxy s2 and it is phenomenal but damn, you really have to be under the umbrella of coverage.

I gave up the fight. The hope. The pleading and believing that Sprint would blanket me in the wariness of great service in middle ga...I gave in. I am back w the big red evil empire that is Verizon and I choose the rezound for many reasons. I do not regret it. It so far is fantastic. I am very happy with this device as mine clearly isn't a "wednesday" device. It operates great. Screen is great. Just as many previous htc phones I expected a few quality points and am more than impressed.

Just wanted to rant a little and say how happy I am to be back on a real carrier for my area.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If you are willing to take the time to do it, this seems to work for everyone:

Odin one click back to Gingerbread

Odin flash kernel w/ recovery

Restore nandroid (optional)

Get GPS lock on Gingerbread and keep it on.

Boot to recovery and flash format all zip and ROM.

I have walked several people through it and it has worked every time
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
What if you cant get gps lock on the gingerbread rom??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d.e.beatup:
I think a lot of us with GPS issues are suffering from a hardware issue. On my first phone, I never got a lock. Literally maybe only about 2 or 3 times; didn't matter if it was GB or ICS. After I hard bricked and got a replacement, GPS was smooth as butter out of the box on stock GB or 4.0.x without pushing any files. For the record I did get my lock on GB before I flashed CM9 but I don't think it would've mattered. At least for me personally, I think it was hardware related.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Well, oddly enough, I used to get gps lock. Used it just a week ago. It was awful because it would disappear and come back constantly but it worked. Now it isnt doing isht.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------

Ok. I think I just found something out. I have been running a custom prl. I just flashed back to stock el29. Still runnning the custom prl, forced roam. NO lock. I went ahead and updated my prl in settings, rebooted. Stood near my back door, got 6 satellites and locked with in 10 seconds. Maybe someone can chime in and tell me why using a custom prl in force roam would keep me from getting a lock?? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Lobozero:
After receiving my replacement yesterday, i have to agree that most of the gps problems are hardware related.

The first e4gt i bought developed a usb issue so it was replaced with one that had a very weak gps. I tried everything to get it to work. I was able to get sprint to replace it again, and the one i have now works great, even on fc07 which is what i have installed now.

I would suggest to anyone that has an issue with gps to try and get a replacement if clearing the agps data with gps status doesnt solve the issue, which is what i had to do with my first phone.

Sent from my SPH-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I had GPS lock, no problem, up to 8 Satellites, maybe more, on GB,

After ICS ROM install, nada, no lock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Wow, you couldn't get a lock on Gingerbread either?! I assume you already reset AGPS stats and such?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
GPS is super wonky in ICS is what I have figured out.

For instance, i did the odin EL29, odin GB kernel, attain GPS lock, format all and then calk's 1.1.

Result: Would get a lock up to 8 satelites, not instantaneous and slow even outside.Sporadic gps signal all day even after profile updates and PRL. Keep in mind this is a replacement unit that I had got from sprint. When I got it from sprint, GPS status would light up immediately like a Christmas tree with satellites in view.

later last night I was screwing around with LCD density modder pro and I managed to get a boot loop. (Great). So I pulled my battery, booted recovery and then installed Calks ICS 1.1.

I tried GPS status again for giggles and lo and behold, GPS lit up like nuts, 11 satellites indoors immediately.

So now I'm completely confused.

----

I tried again today to odin EL29, got a lock. Formatted, flashed Calk 1.1 and FC14. No such luck with GPS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
This happened to me. Its almost like it is best to have GPS on any time you reflash another ROM. When you got the bootloop and reflashed the ROM, you lost the lock you had. This shouldn't happen at all but I did the same thing. I reflashed the ROM I was on but I didn't have GPS on when I did it. When it booted, no satellites
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
I'm in Orlando, Fl
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puch0021:
So I tried GPS today in the same spot that I got the fast lock last night indoors after the boot loop... nothing, not even one satellite.

I go to the gym later today and try GPS outdoors, instant GPS lock, 10 satelites, ~6m accurracy while driving.

I don't know at all anymore about GPS. It seems to work best after a fresh reboot, but the gym session today was after I flashed FC14 and had it running for 12 hours and GPS decided to work even out of sleep.

Until the releases cool down, I think I'm going to just let it ride versus trying to flash everything perfect.
