I'm going to post this here because this is essentially where it all started, so I figure it's fitting.
This is basically an "Ending" to everything that happened on this thread Public Warning, Jaywan is Untrustworthy which is still up, but currently locked. I decided not to ask to have it opened again because I didn't want the chance for anything to be changed in that thread. Things got interesting at Page 30, and then started getting odd around the end. (Panda lol's)
In that thread I explained how my friend, and later 2 other people came forward stating that a phone being sold by a dev here was not shipped, and all communications stopped as soon as he received the money from each person. His explanation was that he went on vacation and left the shipping up to someone else. Page 28 he made an appearance, but, in my opinion, handled the comments from everyone else very poorly. by making threats of lawsuit, Tasteless jabs at the situation, and even an admission of insurance fraud
So, that is a recap of that thread... Oh, and did I mention Polar bears?
Here is how it all ended. Rugedraw was the only one that opted to go through with the purchase of "one" of the 3 he said he was selling. This is the message Rugedraw sent me on it's arrival "Hey, man.....I received the package today. The phone is as described. Boots up fine and has a 2.3.5-based Sense 3.5 rom on it. It even came included with an OEM HTC soft rubber case. I called Sprint and verified that the ESN is clean and the phone can be activated.
I have to say: I am 100% satisfied with the phone.
Who would of thought that last week, huh?"
So, he got what he paid for. But after everything, my friend and Faugnom1 weren't interested in possibly getting jerked around anymore and simply opted to have their money returned. Which Jaywan said in the thread he would do.
Paypal was never contacted by him on neither case. On Dallas's case, he had until Nov. 8th to respond or Paypal would rule in Dallas's favor. Which they did, He has had his money returned BY Paypal. faugnom1's case required a response on the 10th. This is what faugnom1 sent me:
faugnom1:"He said he would pay me by today, the same day my paypal thing is up. So if I dont hear from him in a few hours ill finalize the case.
Me:Did you just go thru withthe PayPal dispute?
faugnom1:Yeah never heard from him again after that one day. Paypal ruled in my favor.
So, Paypal disputed in both Dallas's and faugnom1's favor and they were both repaid.
on a personal note:Thank you to the community, the support was tremendous and I tried not to make it a witch hunt, and I know some Mods look down on this type of posting, but I felt it was being ignored and the post did bring 2 more people in who had the exact same thing happen. If everything is quietly handled, it allows the person to do it again, and then after that, maybe getting banned. If it's brought into the light I believe it serves the community better. If this happened to me, I went on vacation and left it all up to someone, I would feel horrible and give out as much info as possible. I don't want people to think I'm dishonest went I am not. It's not a matter of "IDGAF!!" it's a matter of "that's not who I am and I'll clear my name".
I'm baffled on how his account hasn't been banned (disabled and reenabled 2 times though). While, sure, this may have been all some big misunderstanding by some miracle of coincidences. Other members have been perma-banned for less. He made threats in a thread that was deleted by mods, made light of the situations, and was very combative and offered no forward explanation to anyone involved, only stating "if they want an explanation they can PM me" for someone who took 3 peoples money and then lost all contact with them, coming back with that attitude is shocking to say the least.
Thanks for filling us in.

Glad peeps got their cash back and the one dude got a phone. Shady situation the whole way around.
I also want to thank everyone for their support. It's nice to know they're are good people on here since I am relatively new.

Great to hear things got settled finally. And yes, like everyone else said, that thread was the bomb.

Because Jaywan's account is still NOT BANNED, I'm PM'd a MOD to see if he can take care of it (ie perma banning that fool)
I believe the mods have better things to do than permaban his retarded ass. Like banning people for posting bad pictures or threating banning for using bad language or for flaming or arguing. Cause that's much worse than some dip**** that steals peoples money and shows how much of a douche he is.
Seeing as his account still isn't banned, it's safe to say that the moderators don't care. If they would at least stay out of the MP altogether, I wouldn't mind so much. It's the fact that they pick and choose when and how they will participate that bothers me.

Tell a mod to "**** Off" = Perma Ban.
Steal money/commit fraud on members = Welcome back.

Maybe not banned... but something has happened to him since his last post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19052374#post19052374 was over 2 weeks ago. Maybe someone made good on their threat?

I noticed in the Wanting to Sell forum there is a way to leave feedback on a user. Felacio, you should leave some negative feedback on him so he doesn't try this stuff in the future.
Good to see everything got resolved man, that old thread was epic! Bear **** punch ftw!

Are there any??? If so, what's the ratio you think? Also, I see guys rooting their girls/wives phones, but I've only seen about two females that actually do it themselves. I don't know, just something random that popped up in my head. Lol
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
That's a very good question. I think/hope there are a good number of female developers in XDA and other sites. My guess is that they might use more gender neutral names, which would make it harder for us to notice (a lot like how female authors used to use male pseudonyms in order to make their novels more noticeable). Either way, I for one am certainly interested in finding them.
Me as well. I think it would be pretty awesome to find out any that are. Also, of the work that they do. Females are known for finesse and precision, so I'm pretty sure it would be pretty good...and just for security measures, I'm not in any way, shape or form, trying to be sexist. Lol "D

Person of the female persuasion here.
...though your initial question asked about female devs, of which I certainly am not. This phone was my first smartphone. To answer one of the OP's questions: I do believe in having full rights to the stuff I buy, so rooting was the first thing I did after getting the phone in May. Just took the bootloader + custom rom plunge this month after first reading the hell out of these message boards.
I'm glad to hear that. I wish more females were into rooting. Most of the times, you tell them how cool it is and all the things that you can do and they seem interested (at least in my case) only in being able to change the theme colors and nothing else. Lol

Kinda surprised at the tumbleweed. I'm a developer and a female (simultaneously!).
Is it okay to say that? Now I'm paranoid. Maybe there's something in the Official Women Rulebook of Life that disallows voluntarily revealing our gender. (That thing is way too long and boring and full of emotions, I didn't read all of it.) Policy enforcement agents are probably going to crash through my windows any second now. One of you had better bail me out.

Bought several smartphones for my wife because she gets bored with them easily. She loves the stuff I do to my phones, but tbh, she couldn't be bothered to try any herself. I guess she likes the idea more than the application.

Short answer: I wasn't a guest.
Longer answer: I had a new-ish but valid account, with a couple of thanks on the meter. Until one day it wasn't there. I couldn't log in, my email address wasn't found in the system when I tried resetting my password. So I sent two emails (waiting a couple of days in between) to the forum gods asking about the state of my account, and I didn't hear back. So I just gave up and made a new account, no harm, no foul.
I too am female but no way a developer. That being said, the first thing I ever do to any new phone I get (all moto at this point, first was backflip, then flipside now atrix) is root it. Not to be able to change themes but so its MINE. I bought it, why should I be limited in what I can do with it. I just last month finally got the balls (Haha, ok, the guts) to unlock bootloader and flash. Im no n00b by any means to technology. I started going to college to get my AS in computer science, but life and children stopped me. Im still all into playing with things. Replaced my screen on my atrix already, trying to get the flipside a custom recovery so custom roms can be flashed (which if anyone wants to help, id be grateful! ;-)). Love android, hate icrap.
I am a female, not a developer but an Electrical Engineer by profession, and do all the rooting and modding for myself and hubby.

Ok I LOL'd. Not sure if this would really take off; I've notice most male devs are either 17 years old, married, or with some chick who knows absolutely nothing about what he does. It's hard enough to find a guy who isn't scared to root his device.

So we all know who he is, and yes he is a troll with nothing better to do (obviously has no life outside of xda), but he did have a point and his remark did actually help this time (believe it or not). I did not know about the upload limit, and although Feline11 was trying to be a troll, he actually helped.
I know Binary and Whisky know how I feel about Feline11, and I still say ban his IP address and subsequent IPs that will certainly follow. Anyone that will create multiple email accounts just to troll forums has serious mental issues that should seek professional attention asap... Especially at his young age.
Thanks for calling a spade a spade Binary. Sounds like a reincarnation of another "...Jr." troll. They don't die, they multiply lol

I don't care if he helped. He's been a member for a long time and he went very far out of his way to make us think that he was a new member. He even asked a very noobish question something of the lines of "If I take the sdcard out of my phone will it break recovery?" and we both know that he knows better than that. We need honest members that intend to help eachother. Not members that are going to deceive others and turn against them like a stray dog. He was given a punishment for his action and he should be mature enough to face it and not to go around it. We don't just ban people just because we feel like it because if that was the case we would have totally different forum with totallly different moderators. We try to be fair to the members at all times. Is it too much to ask that we get treated with the respect that we deserve rather than trying to insult our intelligence? His ip address was banned and barred from registration as well as his e-mail addresses but I have a gut feeling that we'll be seeing him again. But the good thing is that we have other means to detect those type of accounts other than ip addresses and all we need to do is look. And to look all we need to do is suspect that something isn't right. Obviously in this case something didn't fit right with me and that's why I took a closer look thus unveiling his real identity. He may not have been trolling but it would have only been a matter of time until he did. Remember that the problem isn't his username, it's his attitude and that is nearly impossible for him to change otherwise he would have done so by now.

Right and that's the kind of habits that we look for. That kind of suspicious behavior or an unusual post like what popped up earlier when it drew my suspicion is what causes us to have a closer look. It's really easy for us to look for duplicate accounts. Now it IS possible that a new account can be opened up with another members previously used ip address but even in that situation is pretty rare. But what's even more rare is when he's banned on the 21st and a new account is opened on the 23rd and both members post in the same forum. I think the odds of that happening would be like being attacked by a great white shark on a Detroit metro bus that's actually running on time. Neither will ever happen and for both to happen at the same time... there's just no way. Yet he's surprised that I caught it? Naive little fool.

Wasn't trying to defend him... Believe me. I took my only infraction ever over his trolling and went many rounds with him the other night when he was banned. I'm glad he's gone and appreciate the Mods like Binary and Whisky for keeping this thread clean.

Trust me, it was my pleasure!
Closing the tread now per OP request.
Ordered a SGII on Friday for $9.99 with the Fathers Day promotion ATT had running.
It arrived a couple of hours ago and has been charging. I haven't even turned it on yet. This is to replace a Captivate I've had for 22 months that I dropped on Thursday night and broke the LCD. I'd been dealing with a broken glass since the phone was 4 months old so it was definitely time for an upgrade.
I had Continuum Themed on the Captivate for over a year. Worked really well. Obviously rooted, unlocked and unlocked the market. Opened up tethering and had deleted all the bloatware. Also had modified battery info icons for the status bar. I'm looking to do something very similar with the SGII but I read that the author of the Continuum has stopped creating new roms.
I have to read up and get back into modding, as I mentioned, its been over a year since I last flashed a rom. Are there any former Captivate owners here?
Something occured to me, when setting up the new phone you have to agree to the new terms and conditions to register the phone on the network. If I flashed it and used my old sim card, would I need to register it on the network? I didnt have to do that to an unlocked Nokia that came over from the UK that I had for a few years. I put in my sim card and was able to make calls as soon as it had booted.

So what exactly is the point of this thread? Aside from the SIM card question, which you would've seen the answer if you just attempted at using your new phone, I see nothing.
Then you should reread the OP.
I clearly stated I hadn't even turned the phone on yet. I am saying hello to fellow SGII users and introducing myself. I asked if there where any other prior Captivate users, thus a common ground, inciting conversation about users experiences with the 2 phones, and I mentioned that the rom I was using isn't supported, thus also inciting conversation about which roms SGII users prefer/are using/have had experience with.
Unbunch those panties and wash that sand out of your vag.

I asked if there where any other prior Captivate users, thus a common ground, inciting conversation about users experiences with the 2 phones, and I mentioned that the rom I was using isn't supported, thus also inciting conversation about which roms SGII users prefer/are using/have had experience with.
Unbunch those panties and wash that sand out of your vag.

Yea....your gonna do good around here with that attitude.
So you want opinions and a friend to talk with. Go to facebook. this is an android development forum. Not some girly, lets reminense of past forum.
Dont ask for opinions on what ROM is best, or what anything is best, figure it out for yourself. Your inticing the idiots that like sharing their phone dependent, and opinionated likes and dislikes.
Good day douche. Yea I'll prolly get infracted, but your worth it.
I'm the one with the attitude? Hilarious.
If we dont talk about stuff, how are we expected to grow and learn as a community? You should also note that at no point did I ever say which rom was "best." I asked for users experiences. Totally different.
And reminiscing about the past? Seriously?
If you have nothing constructive to add here, then sod off. Otherwise pipe down and grow up.

You just got a free "thanks" because I accidentally clicked on it.
you are going to get flamed for this. There is no reason to attack anyone. If you had searched, you would see tons of threads that have been locked because they asked for "what rom should I use...". Dont ask ... Just flash and find out yourself.
you will not get any help with a reply like that.

damn ... you are asking for it.
I'm a former captivate guy too... I guess we got that in common.
Welcome to the SGSII, which is basically a Captivate on steroids.
I'm still waiting for someone to quote me where I said "which was the best rom to use?"
There was nothing to get wound up in that original post, thus I said what I said.
joeybear23 welcomed you. Now please jmgelba right or wrong just forget everything and move on please!
PEACE TO ALL!

Nice Thread... NOT!

Alright, I know if I search, I can find hundreds of articles about how this happens on amoled screens. I am not trying to beat a dead horse, but this will be my first amoled screen. How bad are the black spots? At what point is it bad enough to get a replacement? Being a "power user"(5 hours screen on a day), will the screen degrade before a 2 year contract is up? I jumped on a Rezound when it first came out, and it has burned me, I just don't want to feel let down because my screen went to pot 6 months in. Thanks

A second post? Really?
Sorry you don't like the answers but here we try again. Every single one of them will have it. Never seen an AMOLED screen that doesn't. Second you could get one worse or get one better. Pure gambling. Also, it doesn't get worse over time.
Apparently all this looking around and searching you didn't bother to read what you found.

I've had the phone for 3 months, at least 8 hours of screen on time per day, everything still looks like it's brand new.

Get insurance and don't worry about it.
The only reason I got insurance on this phone was purely because of the screen.

Huh? I've called with my old DROID and got a replacement because the colors were messed up on the screen slightly.
Also I got a replacement before because the headphone jack had some static.
Never had an issue. They also cover water, physical and and if it gets stolen so yeah... Not encouraging anything but it is really easy to get a replacement.

What he's saying is for a screen defect the warranty would cover it. So there's no need to pay for insurance.

Thanks for the responses, except for the douche response from no sympathy. If you dont like stupid questions, dont respond with stupid answers, just skip it. Glad you were able to rage anonymously at a stranger. I asked because i have read that after 1000 hours, the screen degrades. If you do the math, that means the screen starts going out in 7 months. Since this is my first screen that is a amoled, i wanted someone with experience with them. I was asking for personal experience, and it was helpful. Thanks guys.

You created two threads for the same purpose. Also if that is what you were worried about why didn't you say that in the first place about the 1000 hours etc.
Sorry that I tried to help you the first time only for you too make a second thread asking pretty much the same thing.
Also I can be far worse than this and have been. I am sorry I tried to help you since you don't seem to want help.

First, this is my one, and only thread about this. Second, the lightning bolt post isnt mine. It is the reason I asked. Third, I did read multiple articles, and threads, and the answers were all over the place. And fourth, I really like your roms on the incredible, thanks for building them. I think you got confused on the posts, and could see how you could get annoyed at someone spamming the same question, unfortunately, you got confused. I will give you the sympathy that you refuse to give others. Kinda hard to go all hard assed when apparently, you cant read the posts correctly to begin with. Why don't yoy take your own advice, and read before making comments. Here is where you posted in the thread you thought I created
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149005
Screen defect
And this is the thread I created. See different people. Similar question, but not really. I knew about the defect, just wondered how wide spread, and bad it really was. Really, not trying to be a little $#! T about it, but your attitude sucks. The reason there is a Q n A is for stuff like this. Hope we end up on the same side of the next arguement.

That's weird. My xda app is showing the same avatar for you and the other guy but it is different on the computer. I went off of that. Sorry! Lol. Fooled by the xda app. Thought you were just posting twice because you didn't like my answer before since these threads are so close and your post in this one mimics what I told the other guy too do.
I generally do have a bad attitude on here. Mostly because when I first joined this site people actually read first and read second and read third before doing things. Now people just either post questions without reading or post issues because they didn't read first. I generally give the person crap but still answer their questions. Could be worse and I could just be a jerk.
Also I don't think I ever made ROMs for the incredible?! If I did go me for doing something I didn't know I did! Haha. I've only released two ROMs and they were for the GSIII back when it first came out and no one could figure out how to deodexe them correctly and I decided I was going to learn how to dev and do it myself. That also led me to get a shorter fuse as if I could teach myself as much as I did, then why should everyone else always get a free ride and just be handed answers.
I also am man enough to admit that I got you mixed up with someone else here. Still doesn't mean you should have resulted in calling me names as to be fair we really didn't need a second thread with this as you could have asked your question in the other thread first.

Yeah, I should have posted in the first thread, my bad. I try and answer my questions in searches, and by doing so, I end up in all kinds of different forums. I took yout post the wrong way this morning, and didnt read it until later. Could have sworn I ran a no sympathy rom on either the incredible, or nook color. Anywho, was just trying to get a feel for how bad it is, and if it will bother me beyond belief. Like i said, no hard feelings, and thanks.

Just thought I'd put this out there. You WILL get AMOLED burn out just by using the phone. The second the display goes on for the first time the organic substrate is already starting to decay, it's just the way it is.
The catch is how long before you start seeing burned in app drawer rings and notification bars all over grey/white images. I'd expect if you use the phone for hours a day with the brightness up pretty high you could start seeing the burn outs in less than 6 months. They claim something like 15,000 hours of lifetime for the blue pixels, which have it the worst of the 3 colors, but people report seeing them in less than 500 hours. Brightness definitely has a huge impact as running with max brightness will result in much faster burn out.
Does it really matter though is another question. Before anyone flames my post and the information I provided as saying "well you're gonna get a new phone in less than a year anyway" just know that not everyone does that. Some people like to ride out their phones until they really feel it's time to get a new one. With this device I'd anticipate people riding it for at least 3 years and being very satisfied even at the end of the third year, with the performance. That means for those people holding onto this device they should be aware of ways to minimize burn out so they don't end up with eyesores 12 months into ownership.
As for the black spots, yep. Every single AMOLED device I've ever owned (around 4) they've all had it. Very disappointed that my Note 2 has them. Not all of them do but I wouldn't be able to tell you the odds of finding one without the splotches. Just know that I can certifiably say I know what to look for when searching for these spots and my brother's Note 2 100% does not have them. At all. Yeah, I am jelly.
So if you want to play the return/exchange game trying to get a display without the splotches good luck to you. Me personally? My display has 0 dead/stuck pixels. This to me is worth far more than a display with no spots but dead/stuck pixels. And that is my 2 pennies.

I have a minor black streak that is only visible when the screen is displaying a black image. Even a small amount of color on the back background makes it difficult to spot.
Overall I am very happy with the Note 2 screen.
my n7100 after a year now its a horror in the dark..first was some dots and now its in all the screen
