Holy crap I didn't think so many people would be morally distressed by Hazard96's actions. The guy faked a story to get a new phone, big deal. Its not like he killed someone. I know what he did was wrong, I'm not arguing that. I merely stated that dishonesty is not a quality possessed by one individual, and that if a company is going to engage in dishonest practices well... things have a way of balancing themselves out. Corporate greed is incredibly pervasive in today's society. I'm sure AT&T and Samsung aren't angels either. Now that being said, I do not condone what Mr. Hazard did nor would I do what he did. Here's a little anecdote: I bought a 1st gen iPhone when they first came out, unlocked it and later found out it had hardware issues. I could have easily brought it to an apple store and have them replace it but I voided my warranty by unlocking it and cut my losses by selling an unlocked defective phone. Before we start making assumptions about people lets analyze the situation and not get our panties in a bunch over something that is, in the grand scheme of things, inconsequential.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
What are the dishonest practices that are perpetrated by these companies that would permit someone to lie in return? (assuming one wrong justifies another)

I don't have a problem with someone taking a bricked phone and saying it doesn't work - all these devices should have a way to recover - like Odin allows and like the iPhone allows - recovery mode then reflash to stock. You could have reflashed your firmware to stock and return it to the apple - nothing dishonest about that.

What I do have a problem with is the idea that lying to the company is justified - this concept that "They were dishonest with me, so i can lie to them". I want some justification for that - where is the corporate deceit?

No one made me any promises when i bought my phone - I had 30 days to return it if it didn't work the way i wanted it too. The rate plans are spelled out pretty clearly, as are roaming and data.

They may not be priced fair in my mind, but I see nothing dishonest. I just want examples of dishonesty - not examples of a store manager saying something, examples of the corporation being dishonest.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
I'm sorry, but in my world, if I install linux on a brand new dell or HP computer, and the screen shorts, my warranty doesn't become void. I can't receive software technical support because I am not running the software the sold me, but if the hardware is defective, software has ZERO to do with it. So the limitations that AT&T place on cell phones that if you flash a new ROM it's warranty is void is ridiculous, and downright fraudulent.
[Captivate General] Kreiger1981:
(I'm agreeing with quoted poster)

It's also an issue of trust. If people keep returning phones that were bricked due to rooting or flashing improperly, then eventually the phone companies will work to put some kind of lockdown on that type of thing. Hard to to? probably, but the latest fiasco with Efuse and such on the Droid X showed us that it's POSSIBLE. Ultimately while I appreciate the ability to make my phone into essentially anything I want I think that once you start making those changes you take full possession of the phone. I don't want Samsung to go "hey, we had a bunch of phones returned because the idiots bricked them by flashing a bad rom, we should make it so you can't do that to keep them from ruining their phones and costing us money"
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
How about price fixing, dubious business practices, illegal political contributions, tax evasion, and breach of trust (These are allegations that samsung was CAUGHT doing, imagine all the stuff that's been going on behind closed doors).

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/European-Union-Price-Fixing-DRAM,10462.html

NOW AGAIN, I'm not saying because Samsung engaged in these practices that it justifies one man's deceitful actions, all I'm saying is that no one is perfect... And I don't want to get started on what AT&T is guilty of.
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
Or said companies can accept the fact that rooting et al will take place anyway, and make the process much easier. Jailbreaking is legal now right? Companies ought to develop a system where people can jailbreak/root without fear of bricking and companies will save money. It's a win-win
[Captivate General] mesasone:
This phone is already ridiculously easy to flash and virtually impossible to brick, and we still have ethically bankrupt idiots pulling these stunts and then coming here to brag about it!

I would agree that we have blatant price fixing in regards to the price of text messages and probably in regards to other services too. These issues need to be addressed through the appropriate legal avenues. None of them turn "wrong" into "right".
[Captivate General] l7777:
Someone should sticky the below post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=753946

It IS possible to brick the phone. Anyone who spouts off about how it is impossible is dead wrong. See post seven of the above thread. While what the OP did is wrong on some level, the severity is debatable for the next hundred years. I will say that the community shares some responsibility though. There are not enough warnings about bricking, everyone simply states that it's nearly impossible. I've seen numerous posts asking for help on a device that is as the OP described in his other thread and the only things that are posted are the typical "It can't be bricked, you're just doing it wrong" posts. Having personally seen one such device, I've read a lot of threads about it. Most are simply stuck at the android failsafe screen or in a boot loop but there are indeed complete bricks and not enough attention is given to them or how to avoid them. In short, the OP does deserve some slack.

Wow wtf happened to this site?

[Captivate General] joeybear23:
I remember when I had an issue with my Blackberry, I contacted RIM and they sent a replacement but required me to sign a form that said if they discover any user-caused damage or hacking, I would be charged $350 and they would bill me through AT&T...

Does Samsung not have such a policy?
[Captivate General] TPA_Droid:
Nice move. Sounds like a felony charge in the making. Maybe this is why att has to charge so much to cover theft and fraud
[Captivate General] jsmith8858:
More scamming = more expensive phones + more expensive plans + worse customer service for everyone.

Thanks!
[Captivate General] Phredeee:
It is not my intent to comment on the main subject of this thread.

I do want to take exception to the comment about AT&T not changing the terms. I consider the fact that they required me to change my data plan when doing a hardware upgrade that does not technically require it contrary to your statement.

Can they do it, yes. Did I agree to it, yes. Do I like it, no. Do I feel they have misrepresented the functionality of my phone, yep (my GPS is fubar)
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
What in the world are you talking about? A felony - for what? Do you even know what type of crime constitutes a felony?

As mentioned time and time again, it is near impossible to brick this phone - the manufacturer and carrier should only sell a product that can be recovered via a full system re-flash. None of this condones lying, but since it is now permissible via the DMCA to install any software and circumvent to unlock then we users are not doing anything illegal. We may be violating a warranty but that is all.

AGAIN - the one click Odin restore will bring everything back to factory new, so then there is no warranty violation.

Tired of all the FUD and Deceit.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
If the phone doesn't meet your needs then take it back. Just like the iPhone - all the peeps whining about the antenna issue and class action suit crap - take it back - done. It is different if they pushed an update that changed functionality after the return period; but when you buy it you have 30 days to test it out - if GPS is fubar take it back.

As for the data plan, all smart phones require a certain minimum data plan - you didn't meet that requirement. No one forced you to buy the phone and upgrade your plan - you could have kept the old phone or bought a new phone in a similar data plan class. If you had not changed phones, then you would not be forced to change plans - so there is no change in terms.

There is no hidden duplicity here - none. You are mad that you had to buy a more expensive data plan and your GPS doesn't work. You could have returned the phone and gone back to your previous plan and phone.

Nothing you mentioned justifies anyone trying to sucker the company because the company suckered them. Same with all another poster's crap about Samsung's evil corporate deeds - again, just don't buy their phones. I doubt Samsung's price fixing or anything else had a direct material impact on any one person here after the fact.
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
It makes perfect sense now! A company puts out a phone with a faulty antenna/proximity sensor? It's MY fault. A company puts out a phone with faulty GPS software? It's MY fault. A cellular provider caps data after offering unlimited usage? It's MY fault. Remember folks, companies DO NOT have an obligation to remedy problems that they created. The burden is on us to switch to products which "meet our needs"... and by meet our needs, I mean settle for less. Please continue to bend over and allow these companies to forcefully sodomize you because its their right.

Oh and PS, if you doubt that Samsung's price fixing has had no material impact on anyone then that's ignorance at it's finest. Price fixing might be the most direct way of materially impacting someone.
[Captivate General] sassafras_:
Is it justified of them to force you to accept the $30 dollar unlimited data plan on the iPhone when you previously have been paying for the $15 MediaNet unlimited? Nothing in the contract stipulates MediaNet is NOT for iPhones. Moreover, is it still justified for them to then delete the unlimited contract and force you into a capped tiered plan the next time you upgrade your phone? It seems that your attitude is "if you don't like it, don't buy it" but you forget who should wield the real power. The consumer is not worthless proletariat who carriers can take a sh.it on whenever they please. Don't forget that it takes the vociferous opposition of the consumer to a corporation to prevent us from being completely taken advantage of.

Don't Get Us In Trouble

What part of this rule isn't clear to you? Let me highlight the "between the lines" bits that you should have picked up on ...

9. Don't get us in trouble.

Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.

Hey shreyas18, I thought you liked to OC your device? Especially considering that there is a thread you started about overclocking your Opal? :)

Hey, the the non-OC'd version is up now. You must have been uploading it while I was downloading. Now to download that too.

Hi,

I am currently trialling Launcherpro and really like the app, however one nuisance is that it doesn't not scroll your desktop wallpaper when you scroll left and right through your desktop.

Hi,

what's the best way to debug performance problems? My Launcher Pro app is sometimes crawling, sometimes fast, and often restarts when I come back from an app. I've had this with other apps before, but I never found a good way to debug the problem.

The only idea I have, is to get an app that can tell me the memory usage of apps and the memory available. Is there another way to debug such problems? Are they even memory problems?

Does anyone know if you can get a seperate usb cable for the streak yet?

I want a spare one so i can keep it in the car, or a longer one because i find the one that comes with the streak to be too short.

Anyway if anyone knows where to get one then could they let me know

Just had a thought while typing.. just buy a usb extension lead...off to buy one to see if it works.
[Streak 5 Accessories] lufc:
yes Dell sell them on their website mate :)

Well it has recently been confirmed that the streaks connection port is a PDMI connection. The Slacker G2 radio also uses a PDMI but no one has tried its cable yet. Specs are one thing but fitting is another. (Think of it how the first iPhone had a 3.5mm headset jack but you had to buy the apple headphones that didn't an elbow and were narrow enough to fit in there.)

So if anybody has, or knows someone that has a Slacker G2, feel free to try the cable out and tell us all ;)

Seems like some people managed to play 720p RMVB on Galaxy s.

IPAD/IPHONE4 has almost the same CPU with better GPU and option for overclock.

What is the reason that is preventing us from playing 480P???? Not good enough app or something else? :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Darkstriker:
You've got something wrong here. The CPU is indeed virtually identical, however, the Galaxy S has the more powerful GPU (SGX540) whereas the iPad and iPhone 4 have to make due with the less powerful SGX 535 which delivers only about one third of the performance of the SGX540 (28m triangles/second on SGX535(iPad/iPhone4) vs. 90m triangles/second on SGX540 (Samsung Galaxy S))

It has never been illegal to jailbreak the iphone, so it can't possibly have been "legalised". The only thing that happened was that it was confirmed to be legal by federal regulators.
