[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasseru16:
Ok so i'm on a UK Sim Free Samsung Galaxy S2 and was fed up with being stuck with the official 2.3.4 firmware so i manually flashed my firmware with Odin using the official ROM and all is running perfect but my baseband version has changed and firmware version to 'XXLPQ' and now Kies won't let me use it to do any other potential future updates?? Maybe because ICS isnt released officially on UK sim free??? Plz help! Thankssss!

Why panic? As soon as an update is available it is posted on Intratech's thread. You can just manually install again :)

Nevermind, I glanced over it. What would have allowed it to be force installed over the air? I had froze the sprint installer applications.

Perhaps you have the market set to auto-update. I don't have this app installed but it's in my update tab in the market
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Yeah, I know, another stupid question from me. I try to be as careful as I can possibly be when it comes to my phones and other expensive electronics. To the best of my bad memory, I can't remember the last time I've dropped a phone on the ground. My s/o and her daughter drop their phones often and seem careless when handling them, especially when they're pissed off. I'm ocd in some ways and I take great pride in treating my phones carefully and not tossing them around. My gf just got a e4gt last night. I was talking to her about the deep scratches her daughter's phone had, like it was dropped on concrete. She got all defensive and started in about "well I'm not perfect!"

I didn't insinuate that I was perfect, only that I was very careful with them. The daughters phone used to be mine. She's on her third replacement of the phone too.

Instead of me rambling as usual, what are your thoughts? I'm so ocd, to give you an idea, I gave someone a two way amateur radio that I wasn't using anymore. I had probably 800 invested in it. I also ALWAYS kept it in its protective leather case. It was maybe 4+ years old and when I took it out of the case to show the guy I was giving it to, it was flawless. Not a scratch or blemish on it. OK, lets hear your stories.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
Since I'm sitting on the can, typing out on my phone, not going to get into a story...

But hell yes. I take care of my stuff that I love. I've never understood why people treat their expensive electronics like disposable items.

I stopped buying my teenage daughter nice smartphones. She would render them ugly and useless in 2 months. Everytime.

Since I made her save for the full price of a phone she wanted, magically it still works a year later!

When I worked in computer repair, I would see this all day long...

People would buy new $1000 laptops, treat them like ****, slam the lids shut, toss them around, drop them, wander around the house holding them by a corner while they are on and have things dangling from the usb ports, toss them on counters, eat food and drink beer next to them...

Then 6 months later, wonder why they don't work, wonder why the HD is failing, whether usb ports are broken, blame the company for making ****ty devices, or worse blade us for selling them ****ty devices.

Asshats.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Both of my teenage daughters are extremely careless with their electronics. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on replacements for them and they just keep breaking them. I told them both "NO MORE REPLACEMENTS!". Since then, they have both broken their phones again....and they'll be stuck with their busted phones until their birthdays. They friggin' break everything...even their ipods. My ex is careless with her **** too. I think it's a chick thing.

My son, on the other hand....is like me. He babies his gadgets and hasn't broken a single one. Good boy. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yokken:
I baby the **** out of my phones. If I drop my phone you'll see me cringe. Maybe even shed a tear. I've only dropped my phones a handful of times, probably less than 10 total times, over the past 8 years or so, and I still haven't dropped my E4GT. Hope I don't jinx it. But my ex is careless with her phones. Within 3 months they look like ****, scratches, scuffed to hell... sorry, but I like my expensive electronics to look nice! THAT IS WHY I BOUGHT THEM! BECAUSE THEY LOOK NICE!

I think this translates to all electronics, as well. My laptop, aside from probably having crumbs under the keys, is nearly flawless after 3 years. My Xbox 360 has never red-ringed, yet I know people who have had 5 Xboxes over the years due to red rings and whatnot. Maybe I just give mine adequate ventilation? DUNNO! But everything electronic that I own, I treat with the respect and care that it deserves. If you take care of things, they last longer. It is a fact.

So glad you posted this thread. Dumb *****es be droppin' phones errywhere I go!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I'm always careful with anything somewhat expensive too. My phone has yet to be dropped or scratched in any way. I always get pissed when people (like my mom...) handle my stuff in any way I don't like, even though they think they're being fine. Just yesterday my mom tried to put my binder and math book on top of my laptop. <_< I'm ocd and very protective about all my stuff.

Also, about the xbox issues, rrod depends on a lot of things. Keeping it shoved up against a wall on carpet and letting it get dusty will obviously not help, but it mostly has to do with the motherboard revision you have. How old is your xbox? Since the 2nd and 3rd revisions of the motherboard rrod is very hard to cause (for someone who actually cares about their devices). My 360 from pretty much launch day got the rrod a while back, so I opened it up and fixed it, but once it permanently failed, I got a slim which won't ever fail me. None of my personal jtags have never had any problems except for a xenon a while back (xenons are from the initial release of the 360). Wow, I just ranted on a lot about that so I guess I'll stop now, haha. By the way, I work a lot with modding 360's (both hardware and software) , so that's why I'm into this. If anyone ever has any xbox related questions just ask me :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bmoreboy02:
Man i get mad if my otterbox isnt in perfect condition. Lol if it gets scuffed or scratched i get a new one....lol id lose my mind if i scratched my phone lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Yeah, I baby mine too(aside from flashing the #@!& out of it some nights). I put a high quality case and screen protector on it in the parking lot after I got it. And if I ever drop it I get the cringe of death. But regardless of what I've heard some say, I am impressed with the build quality in the event of human blunder
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I'm bad about coddling my phone too I have different color cases to match my clothes and I never rock it naked I have a vinyl skin on it underneath the case and if my housing ever gets scratched I wet sand and buff the scratch out lol, my wife's phone on the other hand lives in a suitcase sized purse with the 9billion pounds of junk she keeps in there so it looks like its done 2 tours in Afghanistan lol

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
Nothing drives me crazier than someone who doesnt take care of the phone. I work as an IT in the military, so you can say I've seen some dumb s@/t happen to phones, computers, monitors, you name it. One of the absolute worst cases was when this guy called me down to the "engineering" space to look at one of the computers... Opened it up cause the "video just quit working all of a sudden". Poured about 2 cups of coffee out of the case. Then they had the nerve to ***** to my boss after I told them I wasn't going to replace it since tgey were acting lime a bunch of animals.

Back on topic... I HATE when people dont take care of their phones. My buddy (back before android days) had a brand new iphone 3g. Somehow ran over it (not comepletely) and cracked the whole top half of his phone. Somehow it was still able to make and receive calls....but still, who does that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Im anal about my phones like that, they always have a TPU case and screen protector. 9 months later they still look brand new.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j1mmyc:
I usually buy a cheap case each time i get a new phone but only use it for like a week because i hate the extra bulk. but thank god for gorilla glass cuz today i dropped my phone about 6 feet screen down on concrete and theres not a scratch :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TX2000:
I treat mine like it is a bomb. If I let it drop ill die with it. On another note my wife always take care of her electronics. They are all in mint condition.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Funny how we baby our phones on the outside but aren't.afraid to trash the hardware underneath.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Lol...true that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] emod0705:
We..that is the wife and I baby our phones..the big complaint I have is when she gets a p.o.s case that came from what looks like it was made by LEGO!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krisI0N:
I've dropped my phone 20ish times in the three months I had it.. caught them all thankfully, but the back elevated lip is a little scuffed, not sure why..

last week my girlfriend was talking and she was using hand motions, (at chest level) and she knocked my phone another 2 feet in the air over cement.. i caught it.. dear god ive never been so happy.. time to use the case..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
I think it usually comes back to who has to pay for the replacements. In my experience, people who have to pay for their own crap take better care of it. It's the ones with protection plans, too much money, or parents who aren't willing to teach them the value of taking care of their stuff who get careless. And yes, it does seems to be far more common with women.

Luckily, my gf takes decent care of her stuff. Being a broke college student who can't afford to replace stuff makes you cautious. I don't even bother keeping mine in a case. I'm careful with it and I never drop it. I just can't stand to take such a nice device and cram in inside a huge, unsightly case. Half the reason I bought it was because it was so light and thin. I bought it the day it was release and I have a tiny scratch on one side that's actually from trying to get a ****ty case off with a coin and a faint line on the back where the speaker bulge touches.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I got pissed because I got a TINY scratch on my backup NS4G. I baby my phones like no other but my laptop... that's another story. I use it for Netflix and Odin and that's it. It doesn't get near the respect that my phones do
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] br0ken_shad0w:
I'm not as careful as I should be with my phone. It's because in 1-2 years it's going to replaced anyways so I just don't feel that sense of attachment.

I still follow basic care though like slapping a case on it, not putting my keys in the same pocket, that sort of thing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TX2000:
BLASPHEMY!!! Don't insult my childhood memories..Legos are high quality construction devices. Not the other brand that your mom always got you. Is NOT the same!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
After a year my wifes evo shift looked like crap with a beat up case then it started acting all funky. Luckily sprint replaced under warranty but I'm sure the problems were from multiple drops and being tossed into her purse with keys and other junk. My moment was flawless after 2 years due to screen protectors, cases, and that I never put my phone in a pocket with anything else especially keys or change. In 1.5 months with this phone ive already been thru 3 cases and 4 different brands of screen protectors to find the perfect combo. I have a laptop thats 9 years old and still working and many other electronics still in excellent condition due to proper care and surge protection. I also hate a dirty car or dirty shoes. Maybe its because we were pretty poor when I was little kid I dunno.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
My s/o doesnt really trash her phone, other than leaving the screen FILTHY... I dont like touching it... and worst of all, its my old OG Epic... its painful. Well, that and bogging it down with juvenile social networking apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tprince1225:
yes i do believe some people are more careless than others. I have my phone always in a case and i feel like i replace the screen protector like every month beacuse i hate scratches lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
Gonna have to agree. Athough there are some of us who actually read what we are doing to it before we just flash. Look at all the posts here.... Did i brick?... Help, stuck on GTi9100 boot screen.... Hell, I started reading this forum a month before i got my phone. I didn't even touch root until i figured out how to recover (jic), and verified that every rom or mod was for this specific phone! Didn't used to bother me, but the careless flashing is getting old and filling up this forum.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sottey:
My son breaks a phone every few months. I am even more amused at people who try to customize their phones and break them. Then blame it Om the phone or the deb's. :-)

Hey, my girlfriend broke up with me. Does anyone know if this is because I installed the fc22 modem over the el29 ROM? Is there a way to flash back to not being single with Odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
This just made my day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TX2000:
Is there also a way to remove root from my wife?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Yeah...it's called pulling out. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordJummy:
Absolutely. All of the women in my life have zero respect for their electronics. Like someone else said, maybe they don't care because they're not the ones paying for it.

My wife always has the latest iPhone yet she just throws it in her giant bag with no case or screen protector. Her 4S has had two failed cameras, failed mic, broken headset jack and still treats it like ****. I just don't get it.

I treat all of my devices with the respect they deserve. I have a feeling that if I threw away hundred dollar bills she would start caring, but they don't seem to see the same value in possessions.

I’m not up with modern tech..I want to replace my O2 orbit (htc p3300), I know its ancient but I find the whole process utterly confusing.

Please any advice would be gratefully received and I must point out I have a limited budget; I’d prefer to buy a phone rather than contract.

One of the things I’m confused about is windows phones and pocket pc, my only concern is I have Tomtom for my Orbit and I don’t particularly want to buy another sat nav software package.

Ideally I’m looking for something that has mini usb, gps, fm radio, micro sd and blue tooth. The reason I want to upgrade is that my orbit has been running so slow lately.

[General Questions and Answers] orbitalschool:
Will Pocket PC software run on windows phone???
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
Windows Mobile software won't run on Windows Phone so you're going to lose your TomTom software either way as you won't get a new Windows Mobile device - it's been phased out and replaced by Windows Phone.

I know that's a pain with regards to your satnav software, but it does open up the playing field to include every phone on the market now. Your real choice is between the OSs out there. I suggest picking one of them and then narrowing down your phone choice on requirements after that.

Just spend a day or two on the internet looking at different devices and then maybe visit a few shops to have a play with some of them.

I’ve been looking at a second hand HTC HD mini....I'm assuming its Pocket PC because its runs WM 6.5.3.....???

Sorry for being a plank, but I’m kinda overwhelmed by all the choices and I don’t understand a lot about the subject in the first place.
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
Yes, it's a Pocket PC. If you like the look of that then go for it. Alternatively, if you've got a bit more money to spend then look at the HTC Touch HD or the HTC HD2. I have both those devices and they were great. I also had paid navigation software which I lost when I came to Android, but it's no biggie because the free navigation software with Android is just as good (it requires a data connection though as maps aren't local).

What all do you run? Lol my phone uses 112mb of ram at the peak of the use with almost 500mb left I just don't understand what you're system could be using that eats everything up so much... I'd offer a photo of the screenshot but its not letting me put it up the photo is in wrong format xD my bad. But you shouldn't worry about how much a launcher will take up maybe you need a new rom to minimize what it runs. Just saying lol or stop using so much on you're phone.

edit: Im pretty sure this user is just spamming to get users to check out his thread thats linked in his signature. There's already one complaint from another user saying that singular9 is spamming other threads just to get people to go to his thread where he posted the froyo launcher.

I was thinking of rooting ny phone, will the warranty be void if i do? I got thus phone at radioshack and swapped my sim from another phone.

I wounder what radioshacks return policy is and if they have a wwarranty.

But ill keep that in mind, "ram manager" what dies it do?

Also, 450mg is not enough when att has put a bunch of gay apps that take up around 100mb of storage and they randomly come on in the background, the task killers i have don't kill them so i have to go force stop them.

Also I'm not spamming, i found forums who were looking for stud like that so i suggested.:)
