[About XDA developers] stirkac:
i suggest rules(vBulletin mod) to be able to use marketplace:

1.over 50 posts

2. member for atleast 6months

in addition to:

1.transparency-every single deal should be public, pm's allowed for chatting etc, but all conditions, offers etc will be sellers&buyers thing to do in their thread(go public if you don't wanna get scammed)

2.bans for people (proved)scamming-hasn't been on xda 1 week from bogus deal, didn't respond buyer's PM's, sent fake/empty product etc

3.more mods assinged to this part of forum-"too good to be true" offers will be removed/reported in short period of time, preventing anyone to reply, and could be reactivated when seller responds to mod's pm and proves he's legit and has item for sale(especially first few sales)

4. whitelist of members who made over 20 deals succsessfully in longer period of time, separate items, with higher value(not sending 20 e.g. batteries at once).
[About XDA developers] newter55:
Do those 37 count the ones you committed to and then backed out of killster? Seems mlee and i are not the only ones. Not the same as scamming but questionable nonetheless.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
As per Marketplacer Rule #1:

We have many Senior moderators who actively monitor the Marketplace forum We don't need anymore.

XDA will not get actively involved in a Marketplace dispute under normal circumstances. And we will never act as a "middle man". The above quoted rule underlines this.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Just to elaborate on what the_scotsman says above.

There are resource issues in providing checks on those trading in the Marketplace. We simply don't have these resources in terms of people to monitor trades, or systems to test or validate Users.

Equally, we do not have the resources to investigate when things go wrong. Inevitably in such cases, there will be conflicting accounts of what has happened and we have no way to prove or disprove the claims that are made by the parties in dispute. This is not an area with which we would ever suggest we can become involved.

Just occassionally we will disable the account of a member if there are repeated claims that purchased items have not been received, but Users should NEVER assume that we are checking sellers, because we are not.

We have no plans to bring in a checking system because with the resources we have, we simply wish to provide a basic noticeboard for sellers and a forum for threads where the transaction can be conducted in public. We do not Moderate the Marketplace except in a very cursory way, because it cannot be done reliably and more importantly it would give the FALSE impression that we were checking and validating the trades and sales in the Forum; in other words it might make buyers feel more secure in buying and yet the risk is ALL theirs.

It may be possible for us to implement some kind of User rating system whereby Users, not Moderators or Admin, can rate a Member according to how well or badly a sale/trade has gone. I understand this is being considered. Nevertheless, it would still be "buyer beware!".

If you are looking to buy and want guarantees and insurance if things go wrong, then our Marketplace Forum is not the place to buy! That said, if you are tempted to buy, then it may be possible for you to carry out some checks yourself, by looking at post history, previous sales if any and perhaps even a few checks using Google. You might also prefer to deal only with Members you have known over many months, even years!

I belong to another forum that uses vBulletin as their forum vendor, and in it there is a feedback system just like eBay's. I think it's an addin to the vBulletin system, or module of some sort. It works well, from what I've seen.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
I know of the addon you mean. I believe that is on the list of things to look at initially.
[About XDA developers] Diamond_dawg:
Also a suggestion could be that Posts in Off-topic and MP be not counted, cause many people post about 100-200 posts there and therefore it looks likr they are regular members
[About XDA developers] MacaronyMax:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fincan:
I know that we can export the contacts from outlook to a .csv file and push it to google and sync it from there, but this is not what I want. I have custom fields, as well as pictures for my contacts that won't get exported via .csv method. Besides, I want to keep my gmail and outlook contacts separate as I have millions of email contacts in gmail that I don't need in my phone contacts list.

Is there a way to directly sync contacts with Outlook with Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentdr8:
If you're using Exchange via ActiveSync, that would probably work. Touchdown is another alternative. But I don't believe there is a device <-> desktop sync available. If you don't have too many contacts (under 250) you can use Soocial to sync from Outlook to their server to your phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fincan:
I was actually looking for a device <--> phone sync (it's a local outlook address book, not an exchange server) but I will check Soocial, thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donniesd:
Easy and free.

I don't see the Atrix 4g on their selection of Motorola's?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodFoot:
IMHO, the best contact/calendar sync is Funambol. It's open source, with SyncML clients for just about every computer and mobile phone OS on the market. I use it to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook on home and work PCs, and on two mobile phones, including Atrix.

The sync is done through a Funambol server. You can make your own private server with a web-connected PC or NAS, or you can use the MyFunambol cloud server.

Best of all, Funambol is FREE for individual users.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baddison:
I sync outlook with my device using MyPhoneExplorer, and MyPhoneExplorer client on the ATrix. Both are free, and work great!!

Hope this helps.:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dim4x4:
How can these cloud services sync desktop or mobile Outlook contacts with Android if the fields and field names are different in two systems? Some exist in one and don't exist in the other... Google let's you name your phone numbers, Outlook does not....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVogler:
I will 2nd MyPhoneExplorer is awesome free app. It gives you Wifi access to both phone memory and ext. sd card...so you can drag and drop files or browse.

You can sync to outlook, thunderbird, and others.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pederb:
I agree, thank you for the recommendation works great.

Cheers

Myphoneexplorer was fine for a while then completely screwed my appointments. Would delete appoinments everytime I added a new one then copied all google appointment to outlook appointments! When i deleted them from outlook it then deleted them from google. Uninstalled.
[G1 General] brettf:
Hi Guys,

so I noticed over time that a couple keys weren't working on my dream's keyboard sometimes, and it became progressively worse up to the point where said keys stopped working altogether. The Affected keys are: 1, 2, W, S, Z, Left ALT, Volume Up. If you have a look at your keyboard, you will notice they are in a line almost, which led me to think there was a problem on the Keyboard PCB, or it's ribbon connector to the Motherboard.

SO...I bought one of these Ebay PCB replacements: http://cgi.ebay.com/T-MOBILE-G1-HTC-DREAM-KEYBOARD-MEMBRANE-KEYPAD-PCB-FIX-/120690721519?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c19ba42ef and just fitted today but, and to my disappointment and dismay, the exact same keys still do not work :confused:

I have cleaned the internals using compressed air quite thoroughly and still not winning.

Any ideas as to what the real problem is here? Maybe its the motherboard itself?

THANKS!
[G1 General] azrash:
I have a problem with my right alt and . Key as well, hope we can solve this
[G1 General] dhkr234:
It is not particularly clear what that item is. Is it a complete keyboard? PCB? Just the rubber membrane?

The key is to CLEAN the thing. 99.9% of keyboard problems are because there is dirt somewhere. Rubbing alcohol and a mild abrasive (like a pink rubber pencil eraser) are very useful for cleaning.
[G1 General] brettf:
Its everything you see in the picture, keyboard pcb (which has the actual buttons which are pressed when you press the plastic button above, and the volume buttons), with ribbon cables, metal part that sits behind the keyboard - (it is not a replacement for the buttons on the rubber strip which overlays the keyboards hardware)

I stripped the phone completely and replaced the entire keyboard pcb, and still the same issue... i don't understand how cleaning would have made a difference on a brand new item... where else do you recommend i clean?

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] Androxyde:
what is the value you have for ro.product.device ?

the recognition property can be a coma separated list of values.

for example on X10 I have :

the latest one (es209ra) is the value set by FXP team for CM7 on X10

[Droid Incredible Accessories] Thoss:
Haven't seen a thread about screen protectors lately. Currently I'm using the ZAGG invisishield but its starting to get scratched up so I'm looking for a new one.

I like the clarity and smoothness of the ZAGG. Some of the matte finish ones I've seen seem to distort the image on the screen somewhat. What I don't like so much is how easily the invisishield gets smeared and dirty.

Any recommendations on a protector I should try?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] sunder74:
I used the mybatt they're cheap and really clear. I don't like the "drag" I get from the Invisible Shield. I get a two pack for 9 bucks and they seem to be lasting well. I get them at a local store here in Anne Arundell MD called Cyberion.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] J Ellis:
i use steinheil crystal clear. its really good and not as thick as ZAGG. so the screen is really responsive. I had ZAGG before and it just didnt work for me.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] pianoplayer:
I use some cheap ($1 for 3, free shipping) ones from Amazon designed for the iPhony. It isn't very high quality but the screen feels better than before.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] MCF3778:
screen protectors

I shop the bay for all my screen protectors.... usually get them from 5 for $5 and down and the ones I bought for my ipt3g 32gig I am on my second one after a year and a half and first one for the intercept after 4 months.... price totally out weighs any problems and I have had none... I would never pay $20 for 1 zagg product
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DeaconBoogie:
Steinheil "Crystal Clear"... nothing else comes close. Once you get rid of the Zagg and use something like the Stenheil, you'll wonder why anyone would ever use a dimpled, tacky Zagg.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] SR3TLAW:
Stenheil all the way
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Thoss:
Well I went with the Steinhall Crystal Clear and I have to say it is amazing. Smooth, not dimpled, fast, and I'm no longer so jealous when I look at my girls SLCD Incredible. It was quite a pain in the ass to get it on correctly though compared to the wet application ZAGG though. Glad I got a 2 pack

[Vibrant General] shreddintyres:
I just read about this on the Washington Post. What are yall thoughts regarding a merger between T-mobile and Sprint?

Washington Post Article
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Personally, I think it sucks. Not sure how it could benefit the consumer, or the manufacturers... I don't like the idea of there only being 3 big players.... I dont like the idea of GSM/CDMA joining... not even sure how that would work.

Nothing seems beneficial....
[Vibrant General] oka1:
This Will Not Be Good,

for 1, which system are they really going to end up using ? Sprint is CDMA my Bet this will be bad for the consumer

Mergers like these inevitably only benefit the Company not the consumer. Ever notice that when one company raises prices the other do so as well? The only "hold mechanism" that prevents this is rigorous competition. When there is only a duo or tri-opoloy then corporate price fixing becomes a sure thing. Remember when (maybe most are not old enough) cable TV was 10 major players, Now ? 3, and what happened as a result of all the mergers and acquisitions ? higher prices and less selection.

On another note : Do you remember SamsungJohn ? and his Great announcement, I wonder if this is it. If it is .........we're getting HOSED..............
[Vibrant General] brk15brk15:
I think its very good. as long as they provide the same plan after merger ;)

anyways, Sprint is starting 4g rollout, which is nice for future.

Rooted Samsung Vibrant with Froyo KA6

Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2

Radio/Modem: KA6

Kernel: Stock+Voodoo
[Vibrant General] reynaldolp:
I heard about that a while ago too. Then there would be "the big three ". The question that comes to mind is, how does that benefit us? lower bills? Better phones? Better network?
[Vibrant General] Supermighty:
Be assured this isn't about what's best for the customers. It's about what's best for the companies staying profitable.

I don't see any personal benefit from it.

Most likely they'll keep the GSM and CDMA networks and gradually migrate everyone over to LTE.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Yeah, there is NO WAY this benefits the consumer. Likely less high-end phones (dont need as many rollouts/marketing involved)... less need for prices to stay low (since if all 3 started raising prices, the consumer has no choice).

I cant articulate just how much I hate the idea of it.
[Vibrant General] z0phi3l:
This is the third or fourth time the rumors of this merger have popped up
[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Yeah I've been hearing these rumors for over a year now.

Don't take away the great plans or SIMs and maybe we'll be good.
[Vibrant General] AEguyNYC5:
Oh no, Sprint just likes to ruin my mobile life :mad: I remember a few years back when I got my first Nextel and discovered Howard Forums. I loved my Nextels and learned to make some good money selling customized Nextels & parting out the LE phones. Then the rumors came about the Sprint Nextel merger. They destroyed Nextel. I went back to TMobile and now this again! :confused: Capitalism at it's best. :(
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Lets see, best customer satisfaction? T mobile

Best prices? T mobile

Acceptable service? T mobile

Family friendly plans? T mobile

Unlimited cheap data? T mobile

Open architecture? Gsm phones, unlocked phones compatibility?

T mobile

yet the company is suffering from losses.

What's wrong with people?

Why would anyone support verizon or at&t

If people supported tmobile, this would never happen
[Vibrant General] zbt1985:
metro pcs here i come lol
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Most people are stuck on tmobile and the voicestream days. Tmobile has always gotten knocked for its service... But honestly ive been a customer since 2000 and have noticed the serice is now on par with verizon. Priblem is people arent smart, and most people stay with verizon because they have that "can u hear me now?" **** and also because they advertise like madmen.

isnt tmo owned by deutschtelecom also?

And also I dont see how a merger between 2 companies using 2 different cell technologies will be beneficial. Ifanything tmobile should juststick with offering the cheapest plans and best customer service and slowly but surely you will see people migrate over slower...

Tmobile really doesnt offer anything special anymore, nd customer service definantly went downhill from what it used to be.
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
+1

these rumors have been going around for years. it wouldn't really make sense, either. their networks are incompatible, and tmob has been spending a **** ton of money on their network.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
Now i know why tmobile isn't bashing sprint in their commercials.
[Vibrant General] xspeedaddictx:
Good service is geographical. I live in LA and my service is very spotty. I worked for T-mobile for almost 4.5 years and my reception changed everytime I moved. Right now it is absolutely horrible but I stay on because I have a good price.

After reading a few articles about the potential merger I get the idea that they are not looking to integrate their systems but cut the operations cost that they are incurring, at least for the near short term. In reality it is not written anywhere that if two companies merge they must use one system or another. It would be a major game changer for both of these companies to merge and still use each carriers network (talk about flexibility). Regardless if they companies merge though prices will continue to go up. Data has become such a big commodity that people are willing to pay more for it regardless of who they have.

Cliffnotes: In my opinion they will only be merging operations for the first few years to cut costs, see which provider can retain the most amount of customers and go from there.
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
Is sprint even as big as tmobile is? Its sad that all these companies are trying to charge as much as possible for data...

And my biggest problem with tmobile is I pay an additional 20 bucks for my data service... And its supposedly unlimited.. But the minute I hit that 5gb cap I get slowed to literally dial up speed... Thanks tmobile!!! So the data really isnt unlimited, and I cant even purchase more bandwith
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Agreed, its tricky advertising regarding unlimited data. But that's the best you can get in USA . At least they don't charge for excess data past 5GB. No one offers unlimited data for that price. For example AT&T offers 2GB for $20 you are paying plus an additional $5, not to mention overage fees...
[Vibrant General] jwleonhart:
And this is exactly why people dont join tmobile... Make the bandwidth unlimited for like 25 buxs... And then advertise that you really give unlimited compared to what att and verizon do...

If you want to suceed you have to stand out... And tmobile barely stands out, and I beieve sprints plans are the cheapest
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Actually it is unlimited. Speed is limited to 3/4-g until 5GB, then throttled, can't really complain for that. I'd take this over $500 or so extra per GB of ATT overage
