[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] W3BSurfer:
I have been buying and selling off either Craigslist or Kijiji. So far I have never encountered any dishonest sellers or customers. I guess im used to buying a an android phone then right away either flashed it with custom roms.

If battery is the issue then I would suggest getting a retail battery for around $60+.

As long as the IMEI matches in the about section of the phone and on the back plate and also the on the box then its legit. I would be more worried if there was a scratch/dent on the body or screen.

If you are concerned or feel like you are cheated then I would suggest reselling it and get the actual Gnex from the providers at around $500+ or sign up for a 2/3 yrs contract. Simple as that. Dont expect a pristine product when buying it off Craigslist or Kijiji.

It is a risk you take for a certain discount. Buy retail otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidHead05:
Well heres how the guy operates...he uses his google voice number to post his ads and they do not end with phones. I searched that number and found ads for laptops (selling for his mom story) to apple tv's (wife hates apple) and wii systems (son never plays it anymore). Hell, he posted an add the same day after he sold the nexus to me advertising another phone that he no longer needed due to buying a NEXUS!! haha He did make one mistake during our transaction. I made him put his sim in and verify the phone worked by calling my phone, so I have his real number, name and everything now. Should I toilet paper his house? J/k....

I mean I know the phone seems to be working, but I honestly cannot fully enjoy it with the thought of it being stolen. I would much rather eat the $360 i paid him than have it on my conscience. I wish there was something I could do to put a hamper on his activities but I know there is nothing to be gained here. Just another young thief in the world. Hopefully, karma will get back to him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Don't buy off Ebay either, no warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
What sim card do you keep talking about? Verizon does not use a Sim card. The only card that goes into the Gnex is the 4G sim and I do not believe that has anything to do with the phone or 3G for that matter. It is not like a GSM sim.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Klacik:
hi folks

just wanted to let you know about my experience with these items i've received yesterday.. since they're mostly made in China, they're very cheap but most of the things that i've ordered in the past from this site, are OK and works..

- Micro USB -> USB OTG cable (Price: $2.10) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-fe...a-cable-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-5cm-67186 - works without a problem.. USB flash drive, mouse and keyboard connects and works flawlessly!! it's really cool to see a mouse cursor on the tab screen and control your device with it

also tried external USB drive (2,5") but it works only with a powered USB hub (i've ordered this one - USB 2.0, 7 ports, and it works OK - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/high-speed-7-port-usb-2-0-hub-100-240v-ac-adapter-21799)

- Micro HDMI -> HDMI (Price: $6.60) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/1440p-v1-4-micro-hdmi-male-to-hdmi-female-connector-adapter-48136 - it just works :)

- Leather case for Samsung P1000 (Price: $6.90) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protective-flip-open-pu-leather-case-for-samsung-p1000-black-50608 - it's for Samsung P1000 tab, but it's almost perfect fit for our MediaPad.. left side (speakers and headphone jack) is OK.. right side (HDMI, USB, power) is OK too.. up side (power button, volume buttons) - OK.. the only "problem" is the opening for the front and backside camera.. they're not positioned like the Samsung p1000, so they're covered by the case.. but overall, for the price it's a great case if you don't care about the cameras! i think the backside camera opening can even be created manually if you want :)

similar cases cost MUCH more in my country, so for me this is a great option..

- Screen Protector for Samsung P1000 (1,52$) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/screen-protector-guards-cleaning-cloth-for-samsung-p1000-49782 - again, this is for P1000, but the dimensions seems to be pretty close to MediaPad and it's so cheap, i just ordered it for the sake of trying..

horizontally it's about 2mm short on both sides..

vertically it's about 4mm short on both sides..

if you have the MediaPad inside some sort of a case (like the one i mentioned above) it's OK, because the black border is covered by leather parts of the case so it looks very good..

hope it helps..
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Raichean:
I went ahead and bought the only case/protector that Tmo had listed for the springboard, and found it is actually really good. The case around the tablet is formed hard plastic and is good protection, with the cover that doubles as a folding stand.

Worth it at this point.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] cruton:
I'll add one to this list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KQHXOS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I noticed the Nexus S is cheap and alright but wondering if there are any other ones. Not trying to replace mine but to have fun with and do other stuff. I can buy a Nexus S for about 75$ barely been used. But what about the HTC Evo Shift? Any tips Is appreciated.

I dont want older phones haha, nothing more than 100$.

I dont want to add a new line or activate any phone.

Not too interested in tablets. Something that still isn't too dead and is over-clockable as the Epic if not better.

thanks for the input though, maybe a droid 3 or droid 2 thats reasonable pricing.
[Epic 4G General] RyleyinSTL:
Get another Epic
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
what logic does that make i have one already? I want something else to mess around with, and learn stuff on. Not a phone that i already have that i can already do now.
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
the moment should be super cheap to pick up XD
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
had it hated it dont you remember the whole FCC/BBB/Press issue with it and why it was to be dismissed and not manufactured anymore lol.

Besides they still are trying to sell them for 150 i could get a Nexus S for cheaper

Whoever said the Samsung Moment should be charged with treason against nerd kind lol. (Had it, didn't hate it until later, had it data lock up after being in a hit and run and couldn't call 911)

I'd probably say the Nexus, only due to the nature of it getting updates and more open space for customization.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
That was the issue with the Sammy Moment i even talked to Samsung and they realized it was their fault and non-user related that it forced into a data lockup and FCC states that a phone must at all times be able to call 911. and yaadada big story but anyways is there any other phones you guys think thats reasonable and good to like the Nexus S? i was thinking of the Shift?
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
lol.. easy there guys.. i was joking (name IS PvtJoker afterall) I was laughing cause my moment is sitting on my desk under a nice veil of dust. If i had to pick a random phone just to play with, nexus s would be my pick too.

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
The Nexus S Or Nexus S 4g? Because if I were to get one its the sprint one? And how about Droid2?
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
The nexus s is a developer phone that you root with adb. The droid is locked down and 100 % unrootable (in theory. It is rootable but it is hard to.. It is locked down like the iphone) .

Ahh okay well i'll find one that is rooted haha and i wished i could get a Droid 3 for 80$ step above our phone. Droid 2 is about the same as our phone except a few smaller details that make less EPIC lol.
[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
I think if I had extra money laying around, I would buy a HTC HD2. It is the one of the most hackable phone ever.

That phone originally had windows mobile 6 on it but it can run android and windows 7. how cool is that.

It used to have high resell value due to its versatility.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Are phone came with Eclair, then got Updated to Froyo but we had Froyo way before it was official, then GB before it was official, now ICS un-official.

Amoled screen, tough build quality too, mine just dropped form 4 ft. landed on brick and bounced 3 times all there was a little indent on the bottom where the silver is not even worth crying over haha
[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
Yea... I know I have an Epic too.

But it cant run windows phone7. I thought that OP wanted something to mess around other than epic?
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
yes i am the OP and i do so hence why i was asking about Droid's , and the EVO Shift, i don't care for Windows phone their an atrocity IMHO so plain and yakkk.

[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
it is WAY locked down, meaning next to no support for development, as there is so little that can be done compared to an unlocked android device

The reason is Motorola locks down its devices in a manner VERY unfriendly to developers. As such, it is just not a development friendly device.

I would get Sprints version of the Nexus S to play with, if you want a second phone. It is enough different than the Epic to have some fun with, but similar enough that the processes you learn can translate to the Epic as well.
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Photon is terrible our phone stock boots faster than it and didn't like the feel of it, and I want a good phone but I thought I aw the droids had roms? I know the Droid 2 has CM
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:

A: might be but not for bad ESN.

C: not really

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] xTmDarren:
Agreed .. Not worth it.. Why not just hack your Epic and wait until the dual or quad cores get cheaper.. The only phone worth buying for hacking is the HD2 and you've already rejected that phone bc you don't wont anymore options besides android on the phone. Then you keep rejecting ideas and keep saying you want to go droid when everyone knows its has the worst boot loaders and are the most locked down phones out..

Like I said.. Personally I would just wait... or try for a dual now for under 100 ( you might get lucky on a few other forums).. The only upside to trying to get a Nexus S is that it is suppose to be getting the official ICS this coming week. Either way.. goodluck with whatever you decide to do

What i have did is:

Partition SD card

Ext size 1024M

Swap Size 0M

Then wait for partitioning.

Now i have my sd ext partition is correctly created.

If i made a full wipe (factory reset) which also format sdext the fs of ext being corrupted!
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
theres your problem.

only use minitool partition wizard to create your ext3.

by using recovery cwm it won't work. its a many tried and failed way.

so resize sd card to allow 1.2gb unallocated space.

format 1.2gb unallocated space into ext3 and select primary.

apply each action seperatly. takes around 5 mins to complete.

use and sd card reader in your pc to do this
[HTC Salsa] mattiadj:
I have flashed 5.0.2.6 and now no problem with formatting sdcard with recovery in ext3.

I have take this version from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1478678
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
ok thats fair enough...your problem with ext3 will still exist.

cwm creates a swap drive. the scripts we use doesn't work with a swap drive...even set at 0, so all that work is for nothing...

if you want a working ext partition for the salsa, you have to create it in mini tool only......if you don't and create in cwm...you'll be walking around for days trying to get this to work!

ive stressed so many times for all you guys...you have to follow the ways setup....i know i tested it all out! i wouldn't be sitting here saying...don't make it in cwm if i didn't know what i was saying.

this version cwm is fine.....no problems what so ever.....you need ext3....goto the development forum here and see the advice given
[HTC Salsa] BigBearEvo:
recovery 5.0.2.8 has a problem with restoring sd-ext, it won't.

it will backup but not restore, reverted back to 5.0.2.6 and its fine on restore

[General Questions and Answers] liammozz:
if you can watch it direct of the web use the Opera browser you dont need flash to stream videos of there browser they convert the video for you so it can be played
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
It depends how it's streamed. It may be a flash player embedded in the web page that shows the stream, where some sites will just link you directly to a stream so that your dedicated video player can play it instead.

Install Fiddler on your PC and when it's running open the website and watch the video. You should then be able to see in Fiddler's log the URL of the stream that the Flash file plays. You may be able to stream directly from that URL to your phone. If that doesn't work then I'm afraid it's only available through Flash, and quite probably their own Flash player so there would be no way round it.

Alternatively, get in touch with the site admin and ask them how you're supposed to watch the stream when you do no have Flash. They may just give you the stream URL.

If all that fails, try Skyfire browser as that renders the page on the server and then streams it to you so Flash is always available, regardless of your device...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
Both kernels are good. They just have different ideas in mind about what they want from the kernel. I believe Siyah is geared more towards performance where Entropy is a good mixture of both. If you're looking for a fast kernel with amazing battery life, Entopy's DD is what you're looking for. Both are CWM compatible so it's literally a 2min swap. Easy enough to try them both to see which works better for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Try Sitropy, it's very good.

As the philosophy of this room, "this" is good for me, doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you and vice versa.

So, the recommendation is always "try them all" and select the best, and it is your best, not others' best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:

There are no Vs. threads. They re both good and they both work... however, they dont work ALL THE SAME for everyone, so you have to try them out to see which one works best for you.
