nope i was asking how set some dryed up roots on fire,
nevermind i just found some rocks and made a spark, i am gonna go with this
HAHA I wonder what he knows that no one else in the world knows that makes him offer to repair your bricked phone. LOL its probably DJet229 from this thread

I will try to put it at its best performance. I portion your sdcard for this, and that will be about 532MB of your sdcard going to be used for the hero rom. So for example; is ur sdcard is 1GB then you'll have about 430MB free on your sdcard after I install hero. Some people just tend to buy another sdcard, if you do then buy a class 8 sdcard since the performance is better. Custom Service - ?$
Description; Want me to repair your bricked phone, or possibly do something not on here? Email me to see if I can do it. I'll email you back with a price.

Seems a reasonable price to me considering I had to pay $13 just to get an unlock code. That said, I'd think that anyone wanting a rooted phone would be better suited learning to do it themselves.
Yea but unlocking can't be done for free unless youve been with tmo for a certain amount of time, and there isn't a whole community dedicated to it with guides and such to teach. Someone should inform Cyan and whoever's Hero rom that is that someone is charging to install them. You know whats f'ed up is this guy most likely posts here or is atleast a reader.

lol... Im hoping its only lazy morons.
Jees... Its amazing at how much people will charge for free stuff.
I feel bad charging people $40 to flash their 360 or $50 to fix it, but when I get stupid question after stupid question then I dont feel so bad anymore.
"why cant I get wifi on my 360, I put a bluray disc in my 360 and it wont play, A friend of mine told me I could play ps3 games on my 360... how do I do that. Oh well my friends said I can so Ill just ask him".....
But, this stuff takes 15min tops.... thats not worth $45.
I was doing Iphone unlocking here for a few months for $15. I got email after email from kids on craigslist asking me to raise my prices because it was hard to compete with $15 from their $40 price.
I giggled and said "stop being rip off artists and honest and maybe you will get farther"
Thanks for this... made me laugh this morning.

haha too funny i was a linux n00b before a got a G1 now i'm a flashaholic... its pretty easy to learn using guides around xda.. wish i could comment on the craiglist saying go to xda!!
You could post the same thing he did, but then say guess what its free just goto xdadevelopers.com and read up. if they still dont want to learn how and would rather waste 20-40 bucks then oh well i guess.

Theres kids down here near miami that charge $60 for flashing 360's, and then $20 per bootleg game. then they go back and forth calling each other out on "oh this guy doesnt use graphics in his posts, why trust him..... if your guy cant do a reapir in front of you in 10 min then hes stealing your parts.... blah blah blah.
Then they flag any ad that pertains to a 360 because they take it as competition.
I actually got in an argument with one kids because he said I was stealing his customers. considering I live well over 100 miles away from him, I felt inclined to ask why in gods name he thinks someone is going to drive almost 2 hours to have a dvd drive flashed when they can get it done down the street.
I have given up on craigslist. Ill leave it to the retards and trash that over populates it down here.
If anyone gets bored, look through the craigslist ads for south florida. The best of, rants and raves.. hell even the pet section... you will be pissing yourself laughing at some of the crap "adults" will whine about lol.
I even saw a guy post a rant to god because he didnt have a prayer answered or some garbage, and then proceeded to bash anything and everything living because some girl didnt like him lol.
PS2 fat in box 5 years old $250 because "he took good care of it in the box"
"Ps2 with cheap inside" not CHIP, but cheap. I asked him how cheap the insides were.
PS3 that doesnt play PS2 games, with 10 Ps2 games for $800
Its funny and sad to see that some of these people arent charged to breathe the same air as us.
I think what happened is after about 1995, they started charging for common sense, comprehension skills and ability to speak/write a real language in the hospital.... because no one seems to have any of them anymore

last week i bought the only 2 hd2/leos with in a 50+ mile radius of my area for me and my girlfriend. I was over joyed to finally have one of these beautiful devices and was on top of the world! about 2 hours ago my world came crashing down with a devastating phone call from my girlfriend.
"Hey ummm I just dropped my phone and the screen cracked into a million pieces"
i thought she was over exaggerating about it thinking it was 1 big crack and told her to send me a picture of the phone and, she sent this.

i asked a question, i wasn't dissing the devs. it just pisses me off that the hero is considered an ancient phone in less than a year and the vogue is 3 years old and has more development.
and before anybody asks...yes i left the evo after a week for 3 reasons.
1.) too slow of development.
2.) you have to disable everything to get half way decent battery life.
3.) the $10 extra is a joke when i have no 4g.

so lets see...
1.) the evo has been out for what a month or two and from what ive seen there have been huge break throughs
2.) alot of those issues are being worked on and will be fixed. we didnt have oc/uv until just recently. What makes u think everything is gonna be discovered over night
3.) 10 bucks is gay
$10 just isn't worth it.
Swyped from my Sprint Hero via XDA app.
They have more developing going on b/c the vogue is 3 years old and thats a long time . The hero hasn't been out a year yet and look at all the roms , themes , etc. that we have already .

Every carrier will have some extra charge for "4G". Every carrier is now at some sort of "cap" for their data as well. Everyone wants something new without the extra $10. So you want 4G in your area, but you don't want to help pay to develop it.... typical American thinking, everything must come free.

Ha, thanks man. You do nice work yourself IMHO, there's still a pretty solid core around here.
So can someone enlighten me on what hasn't been done yet???
I mean as far as I know, devs didn't have to rewrite drivers from scratch (With the exception of the touch drivers)
I just have a hard time figuring out what they are doing that we haven't already done...i am sure if you would say "Hey vogue guys have this - and it would be cool to have" someone would look at it...but no one here has the need to run Ubuntu or windows mobile ports so what are you complaining about???
I wouldn't mind running another Linux port when I'm through with my hero. It would be nice to be able to run backtrack but alas that is only a dream. Aside from that anything that I'd ever want or need has been so graciously provided for by the amazing devs and if it hasn't there is probably a guide or tut out there for how to do it on my own Cheers to the awesomeness that is xda!

That was more directed at the "Everything must come free"
If it was free, anyone who wanted it could have it. Sounds like Communism to me.
lol Im very proud of the work that our devs have done..and thank them any chance i get..for without them what would we have? I may not like some of the extra stuff on some roms.. but at least they give a damn to put something out for those who do!!Its all bout choices..which in my eyes we have plenty for our hero.. like sense..well go try out one of many roms based off it.. like stock android..go get darchdroid...<----my fav by the way...

Yeah see man, this ain't a useless post, I found it quite interesting, I also appreciate that statement by Dan h more and more now
I don't really wanna point and laugh. There is no way they are going to ignore the android users that to the same thing. Eventually, this type of thing may come Sprints way.
I hope not, I can't remember the last time I tethered.. but would still hate to have it taken away from me. I surely will not pay 30$ a month for it.
I think it might be important to point out that this is not just an iphone thing, but any customer with a tether capable phone.

People will always complain and complain and complain, that's how society works. I had a guy that called in to cancel his account a few days ago because his phone wasn't working. After ranting and screaming he said "you know what, all the **** that happened in Japan and i'm pissed off over a phnte? I'll just go buy a phone, im not cancelling, im sorry man" and hung up the line.
There's so much **** going on in the world and yet people complain over their 3G speeds being "slow" or Sprint not releasing a good phone at MWC, or the Echo (even though nobody's used it).
/rant
It doesn't matter. Most iPhone users are just mindless zombies that believe it is the best product simply because it has an apple on it. AT&T or Verizon can do whatever they want and they will still sell millions of iPhones.

I need to pay to get mobile hotspot wtf man Sprint didn't add it, HTC added. So I don't see why we have to pay for shirt like that and for at&t to only giving out 4 gigs is just ****ing stupid.

Yeah promote sprint and boycott the others, pressure sprint to come out with the best overall plans and the best phones, be straight up with the users.
That dude used 20 gigs!

After becoming disillusioned with her blackberry and dreading the ATT/T-Mobile merger my wife decided to hit up a Sprint rep via live chat earlier tonight. She said she wanted something that was touchscreen and Android. The employee on the other end then proceeded to try to sell her on the Motorola I1

No mention of the epic or evo?
Sent From My Evo Killer!
Nope, not one mention. She also tried to push the LG Optimus S on her. My wife got upset and redirected her attention to TMZ.com lol
"free with a two year contract"
or maybe she just didn't think your wife would want an expensive phone and tried to just get her to switch with a decent model? seriously, the LG Optimus S isn't awful.
My wife mentioned being interested in a Nexus S or 3D Evo. I would think they'd be trained to push their flagships if the customer showed interest.
Or it could be that the rep really isn't very good at their job. I have seen many people in sales that don't do what they should do to sell what the company wants.
so your mad they didnt try to sell you a phone you didnt ask about???

Let me get this straight.... your wife mentioned two phones that Sprint doesn't sell (yet) and you decided that Sprint is the one that gave up on the Epic?
If I was a rep I'd have read her mind to believe that she was somewhat knowledgeable (given that she mentioned phones that only us true phone nuts are aware of) and that given her desire for phones that haven't yet come out... that she was wanting phones that were very recently released... and/or FREE!
If there isn't anything else that you have learned here on XDA, please learn this: Sprint Reps (any reps for ANY product) aren't aware of everything on the planet going on with their own company.
Also. Given that the rep recommended the i1, the Rep clearly was showing a personal bias toward direct connect....
My experience with sales people with Sprint or anyone else is that individuals will show a bias toward that which they own themselves (to justify their own personal decision making process) and or those which have a path of least resistance to sell (FREE!).
When your wife balked at the i1 recommendation (the i9 is $150), the rep probably went from personal bias to FREE in an attempt to get the sale. The rep didn't know that your wife was only calling them to play games with them and give you something to post a stunningly pointless conclusion about.
The bottom line is that I hope you are better at using logic to reach a conclusion at your job than you are in deciding topics to post about.
"Something touch screen and Android" isn't exactly specific. People who approach a salesman with that vague notion tend to balk at high prices since they don't know the difference between devices and likely never will.
It's like going to a car dealer and saying "I need something four wheel drive and with four doors." The salesman isn't likely to mistake you for an avid off roader and show you a Humvee unless that's all they sell. They're probably going to point you to a Hyundai Santa Fe or Jeep Cherokee.
Means nothing. Sprint could have been having a sales promotion on the I1 in order to move stock.
Or perhaps the sales rep had read the study that said the women generally don't like high end smartphones and are more likely to buy feature-phones.
Inferring the business decisions of Sprint based on what one sales rep said is like inferring the average mental state of the USA based on what Charlie Sheen does.
This is why I go to Best Buy Mobile. Maybe it's just the one near us, but the people there know their stuff and use these forums.

She expressed interest in phones that are not currently carried...so the sales rep decided to try and push the I1, probably the worst selling android handset made....that just tells me the rep is a moron - and honestly probably doesn't have a clue what the NS or Evo 3D are or when they are getting them.
lol @ another user for thinking sprint sales reps have something valid to say.
"cuz the sprint rep said so..."

Such a thing is detrmined by the employee working, we all know that by howmuch we make fun of some of the things that are said to us by them.

I would think that a rep would be trained in upselling though. And as far as my wife asking about phones that aren't released yet.. woman are crazy, I think we should all know that by now. I guess I should know by now that Sprint reps aren't the brightest crayons in the box either. But really, she brought them up because she was interested in the $125 rebate going on right now and had a few questions about future promotions.

One of the winners has slipped through the cracks and is selling his one piss on ebay
Item location:
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
And people are bumping the price up to other flagship levels, how absolutely predictable.
Idiocracy... it's coming.
Holy......!

Like I said on the oneplus fourm. I would have sold it too. All the begging for it + the invite system made this all possible. Highly demanded product, virtually no stock.
It's just a phone. You can always buy another later.
I wouldn't had made the I can't use it on Verizon comment. If I know enough to enter a contest and smash my phone I'm going to know enough to know it won't work on verizon.
Who ever buys that for that price,is a FOOL.IMO:laugh:
Err...it's Plus. One Plus. Not piss.
Jesus foot that amount any logical person would sell it

I highly doubt that person will get their invites.
You're probably right. However still worth it. That's only if the winning bidder pays up that is... and that's highly doubtable
There were people with brand new ebay accounts (no feedback) trolling him by boosting up the price. I think the price was at 10k and the seller removed the auction. Probably knows he was being trolled. If you guys seriously think it would sell for such a high price then let me sell you my beach front house next to the Brooklyn, Golden Gate and Bay Bridge. I'll give you an awesome price you can't refuse.
I hate to bump this, but am I seriously the only one who sees that he typed "One Piss" twice? Is this some sort of crappy nickname being given to this device, or am I just going crazy?
EDIT: Well, at least four people seem to see it, so I guess my sanity is still safe.

he bought an s5, so he has to put down the oneplus so it somehow justifies his decision to buy it and not regret not holding out for this.

I thought he was calling the person piss as in piss poor person but I guess it could be the way you stated.
Apparently auction ended and no buyer

Looks like it was relisted and sold for $650, nice little profit depending on what phone he smashed / donated
