Screen cracked on the ultra. Really don't know why, always take care of it. Anyway claimed insurance on both of my dead ultras, and got two Z2's. One for me and one for the wife. They arrived yesterday.
I loved that bloody phone, but it was just too early in its adoption. The next gen will be body good, but I couldn't wait.
Gotta say the 20mp Camera is bloody impressive.
But I miss that screen size!

Oy! Thank you! I got sent on a short vacation for a couple of days after I went "a little" overboard, and I totally deserved it. No question about that :laugh: I believe it's known that I have a very short fuse around here, and I do and will explode very easily, which is incredible strange since I'm the least aggressive human being in the west in real life. Let's hope it'll be a while until next time :fingers-crossed:

Hey how did you get that U on the bottom bar?

I want black/blue buttons! Damn Tmobile and their pink.

Do you have a cab to make CommManager NOT green. And yes, i changed the theme and restarted. Its still green.
Oh, and a cab to make the case black/blue instead of Silver I challenge anybody to code that cab !

Why wait for x7501? No front camera.
WOW!
I never really paid much attention to the x7500, but man that looks HOT! Anyone have a link where you can get one for a good price?
I'm in the US for one thing. Also the prices for the 7500 are more expensive than the $853 shipped from Amazon with overnight delivery.
Well its pretty and all, and nice to see a pic, but no VGA resolution has just killed my excitement. I just dont know who to blame, Microsoft, or HTC. Im personally thinking WM6 supports VGA, HTC just hasnt given us the tool.
one great photo made with a great camera
cheers
Where did you get the background image????
thanks!
SWEET!
Now that is ONE HOT PIECE OF ****!... NYWAYZ...im already scared of flashing my advantage to any ROM!

Another I'm out the door thread.

Well just wanted to thank all the devs for making this device better and everybody else. I lurk mostly but, I'm always around and appreciate everyone here. I would of stayed but sprint low balled me and would not give me an early upgrade when my contract was opt out eligible so i jumped, I'll miss the 3d nice device that holds up pretty good even after almost a year release. Good luck on a speedy ics release, and if anybody is thinking about getting the galaxy nexus from sprint, don't waste your two year on it, its nice as hell but not a big enough jump up to blow your upgrade on. OK so nobody cares I'm out.
I feel ya. No point in getting the Galaxy Nexus anymore since another great phones are out. But in my opinion, im an AOSP guy so I would still probably get it but only on Verizon. Otherwise, I'd get the Droid Razr Maxx or Nokia Lumia 900. They're the only phones that have my attention.

Verizon Galaxy S4 bootloader bypassed with custom recovery ***Updated 5/23***

Update (5/23): Just to clarify, this doesn't unlock the bootloader as previously thought, it just helps ROM/kernel/recovery developers bypass it: Link Here

check out foldermount. might help with the pain of the smaller storage size. basically moves data to the external SD, but leaves a symlink on the internal so that apps, etc that point to that directory can still access the files. obviously not the same as a larger internal storage, but at least it helps.
I didn't figure it was going to take long for the phone to be rooted, and custom recoveries/roms installed. It didn't take long for the GS3 to fall to the modding community.
Once you root, NO MORE OTAS!!!!
People will read that, and still do it anyway, and well, that's on them.
This is the best news I've heard related to Verizon in a long time.

Sad to see you split... but I have work for you if you indeed get it soon. PM me and I can walk you through it.
Mine will be here within a couple of hours -- I'd love to have root, just so I can do a TB restore from my gnex.

oh man, i couldnt take it anymore. ingress should me how really terrible the service was.
got mine last night, ready for root... :good:
I'm going to try out stock for at least a few days. I'm coming from a DINC2 running CM7 in preparation for this. It's going to be a nice boost in every regard, I think.
The lure of root is tough to beat, though. I've only ever had HTC smartphones, so I've been used to waiting a month or two for root. This might be tough.
this is awesome. super excited!
i hear vz's s4 shipped with a root patch.

Unfortunately so, it looks like Verizon had time to upgrade to the new secure kernel (same as Sprint's latest OTA). And now we all know why they wanted to take that extra month.

Lets get some fashion for our Note 3 & Gear!!

They better watch out. The pre-orders for these will come flooding in!

Right when you think you have seen it all, Samsung partners with a random “fashion designer” and shows off some of the most interesting accessories for the Galaxy Gear and Galaxy Note 3 we have ever seen. From what we can see in the pictures posted, there appears to be some custom-bedazzled wrist straps for the watch and a bedazzled-leather case for the Note 3. Yes, the way I view anything artsy is my own opinion, and I am sure others might like these looks, but they just don’t resonate very well with me.
There are gold metallic studs everywhere, and even a gold chain to allow the Galaxy Note 3 to dangle ever-so carelessly from your body. While I feel that these accessories are somewhat uninspired and play off of the long-dead gaudy punk trend, these look tacky and gross. On the other hand, if you have to put studs on a smartwatch for a girl to want to wear it, then so be it.
You can expect these accessories to launch sometime this month, alongside the Galaxy Gear smartwatch."

That is some serious FUG going on there. I don't care who they are or what qualifies them as a "fashion designer" their crap doesn't pass the smell test.

is this phone is too fragile or the culprit is quite too weighty / sharp ?
the handset or the entire phone/base? Ouch

lol i using my work phone for the time being.
back on my htc one as my personal.
so i filed a claim through assurant. ehh. not looking good. they dont have the lg g2 in the system. the rep was trying to give me the lg g2x. lol. i explained to him the lg g2 is a new phone that just was released. he said it wasnt showing up in the system. i was like its probably cuz the phone doesnt official, release until this wednesday.
i checked my claim today online to see whats up. (had to fax in a document also). they revived the document. so that was good. but the device being claimed was the lg g2x. i was like wtf. called them asap. talk to a rep. explained th phone situation. she made sure that they had to call me before processing the claim to make sure i get the phone that i am supposed to get. she said to call back in 3 days.
dont like this process. why offer insurance if they dont have anything. gonna talk to tmobile in a few days
2 weeks later with the insurance (huge headache i might add), i finally got a replacement yesterday. looked brand new in box. except the stickers were cut, so dunno.

Question is ;
There really was no reason to make this thread. If the stickers were cut get another replacement and cut them yourself or it it works leave it? Simple as right? Wow your phone smashed, like many other people... The G2 has so many useless threads its UNREAL
