lol are these that hard to come by?

tho i must say, it does look really nice....
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] klmsu19:
You could go bribe someone at a Tmo store to get you one for less. Slip them $30 on top of the $20 price and Im sure theyll scour inventory and other stores for one to ship to the store. Saved $ already.

Official or not, not worth upwards of $100 for a piece of plastic that costs $2 to make. Plenty of good other docks out there for much less.

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] aka DaBigKahuna:
I have no issue with the OP profiting but why post here and say so everyone has a chance as if your doing a good deed?

Just let us all PM you who wants one and randomly pick a winner for cost plus shipping for the community :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] -FuRBz-:
Oh yea? can you provide a link?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mauaus:
Is the one at mugen any good

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ROGUE7474:
That's a really nice dock. I have that one on my desk because I like to have the phone in the vertical position on the desk. I bought mine off ebay for $26.50 with free shipping. I'll take a pic tomorrow to show you.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] -FuRBz-:
thanks for the link but i rather it be horizontal
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] usmcrhyno:
Yea seriously. Put everyone who PM's you into a hat and draw a winner. Done.

The ebay ploy was obviously to make a profit off of something that is so hard to get.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] octobclrnts:
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ericHNI:
There is another auction on ebay

Maybe is someone from this forum?

Again, only for US residents. :(

Cheers
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bryyyan:
yeah i saw that too. the bid jumped from 5 to 30. Someone bidding way too high right off the bat. It would be funny if out of nowhere for some reason they decided to make more docks and send em out to every T-Mobile store. The winning bidder is going to regret paying that much lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Roboito:
+1 with the drawing out of a hat.

Auctioning on ebay gets everyone a chance at it, true, but in the end, those with the most disposable income to throw at that dock will win out. $20 could be barely affordable for someone who's saved up just for such an accessory. They would buy it if it were in the store, but since no one can find them, they can't. They could also pay for it if they were lucky enough to be randomly drawn, but that same $20 could be measly pocket change to someone who could bid $200 on it without a second thought just to have it and then toss it in the closet because they ended up buying a new phone the next month. Free country and all though, so kudos for making it work.

I'd say cost plus maybe $5-$15 to cover shipping and making the item available to all PMs received. How ironic would it be if the person that won it didn't even belong to this community? They could just be someone that knew they were had to find, came across it randomly while looking for one and had money to toss away to win it.

Anyhow, good luck all! Hope someone here wins it and puts it to good use! :D
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Crey23:
Yeeez.....what a bunch of crap.

Folks it's simple case supply and demand, and the opportunity for capitalist economy to strive! If we were talking about milk or bread, I would agree that the seller is full of crap and is simply looking to make a killing. But the reality is that this is an accessory, something that you can go without, it is not a necessity. If you really want this dock and are willing to pay for it, then go for it, but if are going to come with this non-sense that the seller is unfair for allowing the situation and price to climb, then I think you guys need to understand how the economy works,how capitalism work, and basic supply and demand logic.

Good for you seller, i hope someone pays over $100 for it!

OK Rant's over! Sorry! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] usmcrhyno:
Yea you are right our economy is all about ripping people off. True. Let's turn a blind eye to it. :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] usmcrhyno:
and that is exactly what is wrong with everything.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Crey23:
He is not ripping anyone off his starting price was $0.99. Do you understand how eBay works??? he did not set the price....it was set by the consumers!!!!

So with the housing market here In Fl I guess you would say people got ripped off too? The market demanded that you could make an offer and get it denied bcs the next bidder offered 5% more...but according to you, the seller should have said "no, i got a bid for less..it's only fair...he offered first". ..... as a famous comedian would say...."come on man!"

Seriously???? I guess you are not opposed to government entitlements either right?

Let the man make a profit on something that has high demand. As a matter of fact, being that it was a limited production item, could almost make it a collectible...at which point it should go for higher than $100 :p
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] tackleberry:
Damn. Proof that there are a ton of suckers on ebay lol

Sent from prison
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] pfak:
Pure greed of the OP.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] AZ2ENVY:
Are you kidding me ? His intentions were not for profit but trying to

be fair to everyone . Trying to help people sucks most of the time

because of the crap that gets dished out .
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] klmsu19:
Gimme a break. If the intentions weren't profit then it would've been listed here for retail price. All that wanted it said I and randomly pick a person willing to pay the $20 plus shipping.

Ebay is about profiting, not helping xda. Let's be real here. Selling it off xda isn't benefiting the people on xda, otherwise it would have been an in-house sale. It was about profit and who was dumb enough to pay that much for a short supply item (that could be restocked tomorrow for $20 anyways)

Again, not blaming the seller for the high price the bids took it, but lets be real about the intentions here when someone knew you couldn't find them anywhere right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Excalabat:
theres another ebay seller selling t mobile docks for 59.99 buy now

and he has more then ten
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Crey23:
What is wrong with making a profit? Please the item is unavailable, and it will never again be sold by T-MO. That to me sounds like a nice opportunity. I'm not one for ripping people off, but certainly as an entrepreneur, know the value of opportunity. In this case, the seller made an offer for $0.99, people went nuts for it. If you fell like you need to preach about the high price of the item, maybe you should turn to the folks who bid out of control.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dleonseng:
so what does the phone sync to when it is docked? my pc?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] astriaos:
GUYS GUYS GUYS this is a perfect example of economic bubbles. His supply was limited and demand is high, but he speculated that even if he started with a short (low) price position, futures trading in the form of an auction would drive the price way up past its retail value!

Jesus christ people, you're getting into an intense lather over a piece of plastic. The hell is wrong with you.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cswroe:
Sounds like someone lost their eBay bid.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
GG, those morons who are claiming he is greedy should realize that he set it at .99c. As other posters here have said, it's the bidders that drive the price. Not his fault it went up as high as it did so those of you who said he's being greedy is a moron.

Sorry that I'm being blunt, but that's Ebay, get over it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] lil-devil:
all i can say is

http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-T-Mobile-HT...644976?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a60c7c70

and its free shipping and buy it now :P

lot cheaper then what the bidder bought for ;P
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] wau808:
In an auction, the consumer decides how much the item goes for. I don't think the seller ever said he was trying to do charity and give the dock away. IF someone wants something bad enough, they will pay for it, simple as that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] truetrust:
GOD!!! Made in China..but I can't find it in china!!!...

I search in all eMarket in china,but all docks are urgly....I like 1#'s dock~
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Queue515:
Wonder why it says refurb?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] truetrust:
HIGH price.....damn!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] redpoint73:
Yeah, that's weird, it says more than 10 available, slightly used. Where does one get so many used and/or broken docks?!?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] lil-devil:
steal, beg, or bought?

i don't know its a guess tho :P
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] hatchback:
Mehh I went ahead and ordered the refurbished one!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] initial_k:
Wow I can't believe it now, dock going for 80.

http://cgi.ebay.com/New-T-Mobile-HT...717702?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4157f79586

Im sorry for the ass that brought the original dock for 85 bucks on this page.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killa cam:
i feel sorry for the ass that is actually buying these things.. the sticker says it was 19.99... why is the price so high? demand? i'll wait for chingchongs to pump one out, or i'll just make my own out of clay and a usb cable or something... $80 for a piece of plastic with a usb port is redic...
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
Well, it's the buyer that jacked the price. The OP simply set it at 99cent w no reserve.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] klmsu19:
$150?!?

Im sorry but I wish ebay would ban these types of sellers preying on people.

Supply/demand or not, pricing it 7.5 times the retail price is extortion.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Queue515:
I'd pay $20, maybe even $25, but any higher and I'll stock with my generic dock with charger built in.

If someone will pay that much more for an item, so be it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Crey23:
OP..good for you!!!!$85 is a great deal for someone who wanted it so bad!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
those are usually the auctions that get ignored completley. Everytime I go hunt for something on ebay, I always notice a super inflated item, that is one example of one such product. All I can say is, just let it be, if someone who is retarded or full of money, then they can buy it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ROGUE7474:
Thanks for the ups Crey. A lot of people here was giving me $hit because they felt like I was the one that set the price at $85 bucks, but they don't know how Ebay works. When you set the starting bid at .99 cents and someone places just one bid, you are obligated to honor that bid. So I could have lost money. Yes, I know that the bidding was going to be higher than .99 cents, but I never thought it would go over 30 or 35. Like I said before "Ignorance is Bliss".

This guy selling refurbs for $150 is the real a$$hole. Peace out.:cool:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] joeykache:
Where the hell did you find this dock? I work in the number 2 store in the country in sales and not once have i ever seen or heard of this dock!!! :confused::confused::confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bryyyan:
I messages the guy asking for 150 asking him why he raised the price so much. His reason for they set it so high so no one no one would buy it cause they are sold out. Yet the listing is still open. If you look at the history it says that he only sold just a few. So I believe he was bs-ing me. Such makes no sense at all
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] crimsdings:
sooo this is only available in u.s. ?

i want this for my htc desire z ;/

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] charliehustl415:
man I wonder what TMO was thinking with this crazy limited release, I wish HTC made the G2 like the N1 with the cool pin things, that's what I miss about it the most.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] usmcrhyno:
Rogue, I was one of those that gave you **** but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I know how ebay works and I know what you were doing.

Seriously though I agree 100% with you on the above statement. That guy is the real ripoff.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] usmcrhyno:
I originally found this dock in the San Antonio market. T-Mobile is my client and I was conducting business there and happened to stumble upon two of them. I posted pictures and the original thread on the t-mobile forums. Then someone posted them here also.

I wrote the review and everything and then the madness happened. People went nuts looking for these things. It seemed like only a few markets had them. Ofg all the San Antonio stores, onyl about 3 sites had them. Then some here in Chicago had them and some in St. Louis.

Some kid picked one up in Chicago and then started another thread on t-mobile with the manufacturer info and he put a youtube video up of it. Then they were pretty much sold out everywhere. A tiny portion of people got their hands on them.

It was very weird.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] scottmog:
Personally i think people getting mad over the 150 dollar price is just jealousy. Welcome to the real world, cash is king. I've called pretty much every tmobile in southern california and no one has even heard of it.

[General Questions and Answers] epolaris:
Good Day Folks.

I'm a Noob in need of help and i'm hoping the more experienced among us might be able to assist. I have an issue with disappearing phone storage. Over the course of a week I realized that I was losing about 1MB a day. My phone would basically be dormant and I would still see my storage space dropping by this amount everyday.

Cache cleaning didn't work. Later I realized that Android creates a bunch of log files in Data/System/Dropbox that was responsible for the disappearing phone storage trick I've been seeing for a while now.

I know now that Google has incorporated into Android as of the 2.2 iteration, a DropBox Manager that's responsible for logging all of the events that take place during the course of a running Android session. Everything from what took place at boot to force close details.

I understand that this is used for debugging purposes but I'm no developer . So my question is.... Can this DropBox Manager be disabled....somehow.

I really don't need all these files (and its A LOT OF THEM) being created as they serve no practical purpose for me. Not sure if anyone else might have noticed this but I'm hoping to receive some help. Even if it means pointing me in the right direction so I can work on it myself.

I really don't have a clue on how to start. Any help will be appreciated....Seriously...

Currently using G1 with CM6 Magpie running on EZTERRY's 2.6.34.7 kernel.

Its perfect except for this annoying problem.......

NB: I've posted this before in the general discussions area but should have posted it here first....Sorry about that....

I've been creating custom icons for my MT4G (rooted-CM7) and I have a lot of experience with adobe photoshop. I was thinking of a way to give back to the community by creating an app that I could share my icons with. I've been going through tutorials of android-sdk and eclipse and created the hello world stuff. I was wondering if somebody could direct/help me to making an actual .apk app by helping me with the coding. I have all the icons in a folder with .png format.

Any help or advice will be extremely helpful to me. I'm also thinking of a way to make custom icons for individuals who aren't familiar with adobe photoshop.

[Epic 4G General] Emerl:
Might make me jump ship when this is released!
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
Ya, I'd sell this phone for $200 and possibly my Evo for a phone with those specs. Plus you wouldn't have to put up with the drama here, so consider me SOLD.

Those specs are sexy but ill wait a few before i get it

to see whats going on with the Epic and also the pros/cons of it from other xda users experiences
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
This paired with project leapfrog makes Sprint #1 by far. Verizon no longer has anything on them. EVO 3D will win phone of the year, even of the iPhone 5 when it comes out in August.

[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Hmmm... sounds kinda cool, but I'm honestly pretty happy with my Epic. Don't get me wrong. It sounds like a sweet device, but it's just not nice enough for me to justify switching.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Even If sprint decides to switch to LTE, it'd come sometime in 2013. You're good to upgrade atleast once until then. :p
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:

[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:

I will consider an upgrade (Premier Gold) provided a new phone meets my prerequisites of:

- physical keyboard

- 4" screen or bigger

- better camera (most important factor)
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Somehow I missed that it will be dual core, not just 1.2 Ghz. I'm a bit more interested now lol. Although, that display would have to be pretty awesome... Unlike the previous Evo variations. Yuck!

Battery life is going to be poor

Sent from XDA app with 2.2 powered Epic 4g
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
That's probably why it has a 1750mAh battery. To help offset the extra drainage.
[Epic 4G General] abrcrmdl23:
You guys realise that our epic should be just as good over clock it to 1.3ghz and the powerVR gpu in our epics I believe are still better that the snapdragon ones. Plus that higher resolution on the qHD displays don't get as good framerates cause it taxes the cpu and **** harder didn't you see the thread that compared the atrix and other phones. I will keep my epic for now. I like my keyboard even tough it skips letters haha.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Wouldn't dual-core save battery because its sharing the processing instead of demanding it all from one core?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I can't wait to see how poorly the Snapdragon garbage GPU performs. Anyone wanna bet me that it barely beats our GPU?

Edit: That didn't take too long to find:

Smartbench 2011

HTC Pyramid is the same exact phone (Yea, I know. Shocking news that HTC makes 45 exact same phones and just names them differently). Same processor, same resolution, with SLIGHTLY lower ram. LOL. GPU is utterly destroyed by the Galaxy S. Snapdragons are so crappy.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
3D is just a gimmick. You have to have something that can display the images, and you have to wear those glasses. Its cool in theatre on the big screen, but on that little phone me thinks not.

I'll be keeping my Epic for quite awhile, planning on skipping the next gen just because I don't see it being much of a leap. When something comes out that my phone can't do then maybe I'll worry about it at that point.
