Well here's how I see it:

You sent the Amaze to the guy and he said it was bricked. HTC did NOT honor the warranty meaning there was something wrong with it like water damage or dropped or something. Then the One S arrives to the other dude with a cracked screen. Both deals looked kinda shady. And it should not cost that much to fix an LCD/Digitizer/screen assembly at a 3rd party store, maybe at HTC it would be that, check around bro. Also, you said blackrain was going half on you with the Amaze right? so you're not out TOO much. I say sell the One S and buy a cheaper device, or trade it for a Sensation or something as-is if you can.

You then ask to have your account disabled because you want to steer clear of XDA, but create a NEW account to ask for donations for deals that looked shady that you're already getting half for on one? That is serious nuts dude.

"I want to stay away from this site, but changed my mind to come ask for donations because of my bad decisions"

That's just unsavory bro.

And yeah I might be coming off as heartless, but I did donate to jcash and I do help out when it seems warranted.

Just my opinion, you can think on it or chew it over or throw it away or whatever.

"Who gives a f***?" can actually mean that the person who said doesn't actually care and not necessarily implying that NO ONE cares, although that implication is also a valid interpretation, so the possibility exists he meant only to communicate (quite emphatically and bluntly might I add) that HE does not actually care and did not mean to infer that no one on the boards actually cares.

I am still battling it out with HTC. I had my card on file from when I wanted to get a replacement battery but that doesn't give them the right to charge me. everything went like it was supposed to be fixed free because they didn't even alert me through email but there is a hold in my account pending removal from HTC USA for 249.99.

after long aruing through email, black rain sent me $140 but out of that I still have to send the amaze to Jordan with express ( or else there will be no tracking ). I am not asking donations for HTC repair cost. I am trying to get to get rid of it . hopefully its an error because when I track my repair status it doesn't show any update.

I posted here because I can't see the market.
[Member-Found Deals] orangekid:
Just call HTC and ask if you're being charged or not, sounds like you're not even being charged.

With the shipping to Jordan, find out from blackrain if no tracking is ok, or work something out, maybe he'll help for shipping (since he agree to pay half the repair cost that may not even be charged).

It sounds like you can work this all out so you have a phone and everyone is happy without having to solicit donations here, the fact that you don't want to be on XDA but came back just to ask for donations looks bad too.
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
HTC wouldn't just charge you for ****s and giggles. I remember my sister broke my N1 and was hoping they would just replace it since they already had to replace the screen twice for faulty hardware. Well they decided I would have to pay for it and they sent me multiple emails and even a certified letter until I responded.
[Member-Found Deals] Product F(RED):
For legal reasons, they won't charge you without documentation of you agreeing to the costs and terms. They might put a HOLD, but they won't charge you. I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend once at a hotel I was not staying at and they put a hold for $100 on my account, but only ended up charging me the actual cost (something like $40-something).
[Member-Found Deals] Censura_Umbra:
You can just go to your bank and tell them you didn't authorize it. They will remove the hold while they investigate.

Problem solved.

Now can a mod please close this pathetic thread.

[Droid 2 General] LIVE_EVIL:
Hey guys,

recently I got droid 2 (actually mine says milestone 2, UK version)and I am experiencing quite a bit of buzzing in the earspeaker when i am making any phonecalls. When the phonecall starts i hear this bzz bzz bzz whenever some high tone is used in conversation. If i use headphones then everything is ok.

\I was wondering if this is a feature of this phone, I got a defective model or I just have to remove stickers from the mobile (i still have a screen sticker and a sticker behind the screen).
[Android Apps and Games] OGrue:
I've recently bought FFIII - basicly it's a nice game, but IMHO a little bit to short with about 2 Hours of Gameplay....

I also miss things like proffesion wich should be there (is always grayed out).

Maybe I'am too stupid for the game, I've postet what I've done, but be carefull - SPOILER-Alert....

-- SPOILER - SmallWhiteLetters!! --

Cave - nothing special

1st Village - lootet everything

2nd Village - lootet everything

Airship

Castle - lootet everything, level up through lvl8

North-Cave - found princess, killed Boss

crystal calling - end credits, game over

No proffessions, just the small island, 2 villages, 1 castle and 2 caves.... - don't know what's with the big rock in south, couldn't do anything with it.

Maybe I really did something wrong, killed the boss to early or whatever (never played FF before), so if I did I'd like to know before I get mad on the game ;)

[Android Apps and Games] sniffs:
I want this game but can't fathom Sqenix's idea of pricing this as the most expensive Android game in history! $16 dollars?!?! Do they feel entitled to that price??? WTF?
[Android Apps and Games] KeylanHalfdan:
If the jobs are not open then you still have more to go. If you saw the scene with the Crystal and credits, that is more opening credits. This happens in most of the early final fantasy games. After the intro credits, the game continues, and you get jobs and can pass the rock.

And I totally agree, $16 is crazy for the game. I paid for the ds version when it came out, and will not be paying $16 to play it again.
[Android Apps and Games] cityhunterxyz:
Those weren't the end credits they are essentially the opening credits everything you had done to that point was essentially the prologue to the games main story, earlier Final Fantasy games up till about FF5 all used this sort of opening format.

Also for those who think that $15 is too steep, that's about the same price as SPB Shell and this is a game that was selling for $40 on PSP and NDS not too long ago, so there's that.
[Android Apps and Games] deathsled:
So you turned off the game as the prologue finished? lol
[Android Apps and Games] blestsol:
Lol sounds like it.

And the other poster. Yeah 16 is steep. I didn't pay for spb shell either.

ReZound
[Android Apps and Games] chadhoard:
This app downloaded & installed without any errors. I try and run it, all it does is try to connect to FF3!!! Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
[Android Apps and Games] philburkhardt:
I don't see how anyone can say the price is steep. The Nintendo DS version is $18 right now on Amazon. Are they supposed to drop the price just because now it's on a phone/tablet? Or because people might already own the copy of the game on another format? Good luck getting Square Enix to discount that Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII-2 because you already own the PS3 version.

Get used to it folks. If they are going to be releasing real games for Android, expect to run into real game pricing.
[Android Apps and Games] redspeed:
Its a six year old port so $16 is pretty steep, especially compared to the pricing of other games on Android, and also considering the DS version is physical and you can resell it when youre done with it.
[Android Apps and Games] piratashitzu:
It is not a bad joke, so......:p
[Android Apps and Games] ASMAteMe:
The iOS version is amazing, I have over 40 hours played!
[Android Apps and Games] philburkhardt:
You may think it's steep because you're not used to seeing games at that price point, but they exist. Spectral Souls and Generation of Chaos are both popular Android games that each cost $15. FF III's pricing is also perfectly in line with what the game is selling for on other platforms. What makes you think the same game on an Android device should cost less? In many instances the game play is way better than what is is on the DS. I'll take a 7" or 10" tablet screen over a DS screen any day. They also don't price physical games the way they do because they are assuming you're gonna sell it. Game publishers hate the buying and selling of used games. That's why there isn't any difference in price between buying a physical copy or buying it off Xbox Live or PSN. Regardless, happy with it or not, your're probably gonna see more of it.
[Android Apps and Games] musashiken:
Lol, a Final Fantasy game completed in 2 hours?? That's hilarious, the OP obviously has not played one before. I don't blame him if he really hasn't, I suppose there are people who don't know what an RPG is.

As for the pricing, seriously why are people complaining about it? It's a port of a full console game, old or not, port or not. Game companies, especially reputable ones, do not sell their fully developed RPG games of a globally recognized series at 5 dollars and below, regardless of platform.

Also it's a Japanese RPG game, you do not sell a Japanese RPG game cheap. If you don't know by now, Japanese games are sold at a premium compared to American games so the 15 dollar price is pretty much par for the course.

I think the problem here is people have a very wrong but understandable expectation of what a smartphone app is. If you see apps everyday being sold at around a buck, you'd come to expect all games to be sold at that price. But people do not realize that not all game apps are made equal, and this is one such example.

Let's take for example a game like Angry birds. It's a time waster game with tons of repetitive stages without much depth in plot made by a small newbie company targeted against a wide audience. The amount of resources put into making this game corresponds pretty much to the price.

Now we take a port of a full fledged RPG game made by a huge gaming company in Japan using resources of different teams of people, and I'm talking groups of people, not just a tiny group of programmers. Then we add in the translation to English and the extra programming resource to port to Android. And the target audience is just a small portion of the masses, come on not everyone likes to play RPGs. So how you expect a game like this to be sold cheaply is beyond me.

And don't even talk about how ports should be cheaper and how you should not be paying more just because you already bought the console version etc. An android port is just the same as any other downloadable console game port, and it even comes with the added risk of being pirated.

Btw, the iOS version of this game costs the same so I wonder if the iSheep are complaining as much or are we Android users really that cheap?

[Android Apps and Games] dooshbag45:
Aren't newer ff games as much if not cheaper on psn? With much more suppprt to boot?
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
I don't think the price is unfair at all. I'd like to see more Android games sold in the $15-20 range (or more!) but you know what? They'd better be worth it! If I connect a PS3 controller via Bluetooth, you better let me use it. If I have an Xperia Play (I don't), you better support it. If I have neither of those, the touch screen controls should be solid and forgiving. Shadowgun was an FPS that had very good touch controls. I felt like I should be handicapped with the touch screen, but I never actually did. It was subtle and sublime and effective. It "Just Worked". I've heard FF3's controls are very good, so I'm not knocking it, I'm just saying the controls should reflect the price. So, also, should the content. JRPGs are good candidates for Android. They shouldn't have complicated controls. Swipe to move, touch your menu options to converse, barter, or fight. Touch/tilt-based minigames (I'm thinking FF7, only FF I finished). Platforming, eh, not so much.

Wish I liked JRPGs. This one looks like a real winner.

Another note about the price: How much is your time worth? You pay $10 for a movie ticket (not counting refreshments), that's $5 an hour for entertainment. If you're getting more than 3 hours out of this game -- and I'm sure you are -- you're getting the same value. Any more, and you're getting a better deal. If you spend 16 hours on this (and I think that should be possible) then you're being entertained for $1 an hour. Is that unfair? Play it again a year later, you're down to 50¢ an hour. So again I ask: how much are you willing to spend to be entertained?
[Android Apps and Games] dooshbag45:
The original ff3 came out in 1990 and the ds version in 2006. I kind of find it hard to pay for a game that old, and I would be the first one to do it because it is classic ( still waiting for that chrono trigger port). Yet if you take a movie that's at least 6 years old to another theater and slap an extra $5.00 on top of any other movie showing, do you think anyone would go watch it? Even if it was a classic it would only be in selected theaters, and it would be dirt cheap unless they throw it in Imax or make it 3d. Throw something up on the play store and 50% of all cell phone users and nearly everyone that has android will see it. I saw it on day one it dropped on the play store not to mention a few websites I visit everyday. With all that exposure and how old it is you would think it would be at least 9.99 regular price and maybe 5.99 or less on sale. How much are 6 year old DVDs right now? If its a premium price it should come with premiums. Just because you want to be entertained doesn't mean you have to turn off you brain.
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
Well, I don't know that $15.99 is a premium price. I suppose it is among Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja; for smartphone-based games yes, it is expensive. But for regular handheld games, DS and PSP games start at $35 and go up from there. $16 is less than half of that, and Final Fantasy games are never cheap.

You're right about old movies and you could have also pointed out that movies cost more to make than video games, even JRPGs. But movies also pay for themselves in a very short time, and only offer you 90-150 minutes (1.5-2.5 hours). Video games don't always pay for themselves so fast; developers, and more so publishers, count on gamers to pick them up a few years after their release. I'm not saying FF3 hasn't paid for itself yet. I'm sure it has. I'm just saying that Square is at least equally entitled to ask about a third of what the game originally cost as movie studios are to ask for a quarter of what a DVD once cost ($20 MSRP vs. the $5 bargain bin at Walmart).

But I don't know where you're getting this "$5 extra" premium idea from. What other Final Fantasy games are sold for $10.99 for smartphones? Or are you comparing FF3's price to that of Gameloft games? Gameloft is a pretty big deal on smartphones, I suppose, but they're not Square. Square's games are truly world class, at least according to their fans. Again, I'm not one of them, but I'm sure if I paid for FF3, I'd get what I paid for in a JRPG. There are some JRPG or otherwise more strategic/turn-based RPGs on the Market, but they are not Final Fantasy quality, and I don't think anybody is saying they are. They are good for what they are. Again, you get what you pay for.

If we aren't willing to pay $16 for a premium game on Android, why should other developers consider our platform? I'd love to see something like Oblivion or Skyrim, or better yet, Fallout 3 or New Vegas, on our phones, but I don't think Bethesda is willing to port those games to Android for what smartphone owners are accustomed to paying, and I don't blame them.

Out of curiosity, what are you willing to pay for a Chrono Trigger port? This considering you can play it right now for free using Snes9x EX and the SNES ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehrules:
Got a friend at work who has just upgraded his GS2 to ICS.

Before the update he could connect memory sticks using his OTG cable and they would be detected as additional storage.

Now when he connects them, it says that a USB host cable is connected, and the memory sticks power up, but the device does not detect them.

He reckons that "they have disabled support for 3rd party cables" i.e not samsung cables. Personally I think this is a load of tosh.

Any ideas why its not detecting devices?

(though i can do it my self but then it will cost me money if i do it at home :P )
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] CarlDeanCatabay:
1. One reason why SGY reboots (based on my experience) is if the system's free memory gets too small. As what I have learned from Zeppelinrox is that Android caches apps that are running in the background but the problem is that sometimes it gets locked in the memory and causes free memory to shrink. If this is the case, the system will be forced to do a reboot to clear memory.

2. This happens to me if my hands are sweaty and/or if the phone's digitizer is greasy. If this happens to you, try to wipe your phone and clean your hands. Also, you might want to use a matte type (anti-finger print) screen protector as this type of film resists moisture and oil/grease unlike the clear type film.

3. App FC's can be caused by:

-slow SD Cards. This applies if your app is installed on SD card, this is simmilar to delayed read/write in Windows OS.

-permission issues

-lack of free memory

-cracked apps(I'm not saying you pirate apps)

BTW: Most of the Custom ROM available are pre-rooted. What custom ROM are you using which as what you said is not rooted(your phone)?

PS. My reply is based on what I experienced with my phone, I may be right or I may be wrong. Anyway, you can ask Google if you have doubts :D
