Traded My Vibrant - GOT A GREAT DEAL!

Ok so no flaming cuz im not saying this phone sucks at all.
I love it and had it running 1.6 along with so many 3d games i bought such as avatar, ganstar, and a few others. Also running launcher pro plus and android phone 7 look
Well i was offered $130 + and HD2 and i thought about but i just couldnt give in. Then i was offered a $100 + HD2 + Samsung gravity Touch. It might have been a good deal then but i just love the phone so much, it was like nooo..
So To end it, it was a 2009 Hp Desktop with Wireless keyboard and mouse + HD2 + SAmsung gravity Touch i think its a good deal anyway. and ill just be selling the hd2 and gravity and getting a vibrant again next week!
any comments?

sounds like you know a very stupid person.
Well done.
Now post again when you get your vibrant.

Congrats I mean if you can get a free computer out of the deal and buy another Vibrant why not right?

No, you haters, Definately not a moron or stupid. Computer is fairly Fast and has 2gb of ram as well as a 250GB HDD with the 19inch monitor. To get that plus a touch and an HD2 is more than a good Deal. For i am already getting rid of the Gravity touch tomorrow and selling it to a friend for $150 since he was looking for a phone.... I can easily sell the HD2 for about $300 since both phones are 9 out of 10 condition.
$300+$150=$450 - price to get a vibrant. $380-$450..... At the end i got a free pc after all...
BTW: When someone insults or flames others about something they share, i think others just follow along and hate too because they think it makes them cool or something! - Bet you anything to whoever said admin delete this thread it wont happen... Why?? it was posted in general where i can basically share samsung vibrant related chat.

EDIT --- I guess mods are cleaning up ...

Lol! Its funny how none of your posts In xda are of any help, yet come ***** about stuff. Move on. Picking up fights in forums. Oh geezzzz !

Thread cleaned and guess what...I really don't like having to come clean this stuff up. This is in fact the General Section for the Vibrant...which is defined as follows:
"Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)"
If you don't care about this thread DONT POST USELESS COMMENTS and move along... if there is more flaming people will start getting free vacations....now let’s stay on topic and respect each other!

Howd you get 1.6 on it?

Lol, we are not hating on you. We called the person that got your Vibrant stupid. He traded $600+ for something he could've traded his HS2+ some cash.
Anyways, good for you, and don't post threads like this anymore since it has nothing to do with the Vibrant. Good day, and bye.

nahh you missed it there were a bunch of other posts, but hell yeah the OP got a good deal ...
But as the MOD said this forum is General for general chat, tips & tricks, etc, by that ANYTHING that has to do with a Vibrant fits here, including selling one.

Yep, agreed. Even if the OP had traded the Vibrant because he hated it, which he didn't, he said he loved the phone - but even if he traded because he hated what he received in return still stands as a good indicator of the perceived value of the phone by folks who don't own one and want one.
Just last week my cousin offered to trade me 2 iPhone 3G's for my Vibrant. Not a bad deal at all, in terms of overall value.
I dig the Vibrant now that it's rooted and tweaked with a custom ROM, but to be honest if I were able to get 3G speeds with an iPhone running on T-Mobile I most likely would have taken him up on it. As much as I am now liking this phone I'd also be plenty happy with an iPhone as well, not to mention I could have given the second one to my wife and negated the cost of her upcoming upgrade in December. She's a photographer and I'm a designer, we have macs here at home and the iPhone would play well with our setups.
It is what it is man, preferences are preferences. Just because someone wants an iPhone, or doesn't like a Vibrant, that's not some kind of insult. People have their preferences, yet a lot of folks really seem to take the fact some other folks aren;t digging their phone as some sort of personal jab.
OK, end off topic tirade directed at no one in particular.... - what I'm saying is that my cousins offer and the deal the OP just received tells me people want the Samsung GS phones and I have options should I ever want to trade.
Agree 100% with the watcher (not to mention the moderator as well!!) This certainly concerns the Vibrant and fits just fine in general.

Awesome !!!
Nice to know there are still suckers out there and those who will help them prove their mental midgetry

Ok...if you don't like the phone nobody blames you. But would you please explain to all of us why you are posting here. This topic is not going to help nobody in the forum... If everyone start sharing what a good deal they got out of their phones the whole forum will make nonsense. And it will be hard to find helpfull things.. I hope you all understand what I'm standing for....

EDIT:
May sound like I am insulting you but I am not trying to , I am just trying to explain , IMHO, the "General" Vibrant forum really is for anything concerning a Vibrant, chat, tips & tricks, etc, by its definition, and this thread would qualify as chat.

Hey Thanks to all of you who supported me and backed me up, But honestly the only thing that truly pissed me off was the fact that ive been around xda for quite some time now, being part of all android forums relating to GSM Devices starting from the g1, so i truly know whats right and wrong, and where things go of course....
Over time i have helped a great number of users, specially the mytouch slide by giving them my gmail to gtalk and help with rooting as it wasnt an easy process... and i decide to ONE time write in the general thread and share my story and all of sudden users with a POST count of Under 10 or 20 start Flaming. No offense to others who have a low post count, just to the ones who were rude and thought they were right...
Anyway this is my last post as i dont want to keep bumping this thread as the thread has been read and seen by others and i have had the comments and opinions i asked for... Once again thanks to you guys and the mods who helped clean up the mess))))

You are welcome...but this thread has had its fun...it is now closed.

So what's with all the crying on XDA's EVO threads lately?

I remember the good ol days when people just dropped by, downloaded some stuff, left nice comments and went about their day. Lately, bout the last month or so, the threads have been filled with "I donated a dollar, I want my ROM" or "can I get an ETA on this?" (which is the rudest question I've ever seen here) or just people arguing or one-upping each other. I fear we're losing the community-based friendliness of this site as the days go along.
As we can see, a few devs have had enough and already left. How much longer is everyone gonna keep this up? It's like I visited XDA one day and it turned into an AOL n00b forum. It sucks. I want the old XDA back where people didn't cry about CM missing deadlines (they just visited again later and if a new CM was up they were happy, if not they just came back later), people didn't complain about Damageless losing his job and having to focus on his life instead of ours, people simply enjoyed what was available instead of hounding devs about when stuff is coming out.... I must say it'll be released when it's released!
I just don't understand what's so difficult about giving those who give us the time of our lives time to breathe and enjoy their lives too. It shouldn't matter whether a "donation" of a $1 or $1000 is made - the devs (and some of the senior members, shucks, even like me) deserve a lot more respect than what's going around lately. At the end of the day, I just don't want to suffer for following the rules when others decide to wreck it for the rest of us.
Anyway, I just had to rant. I still <3 XDA and always will. This place really has changed my life forever.

That is very well said. Devs should be praised not hounded.

I have seen this before with Forums as the user-base grows and popularity increases, which Android brought many non technical users into the smartphone era, your impatient/arrogant/immature user-base grows as well and since they are still learning how things work but want it now since this is the era of entitlement your gonna get alot of asshats wanting there ROM now or there FIX now. It sucks but It happens.

One thing about XDA is its never been that user friendly or at least as long as I have been here. Seems like a few people come here just to be assholes. They know everything and even if you agree with them they will still act like dicks. With that said I try to stay out of those situations. Sit back in my thread and sometime comment on topics. Sorry but its true.
Try it, post something in the wrong thread by accident and see what happens.

This. The Evo was the first time that an android device really blew up with the non-technical crowd, and of course XDA has a reputation, so all of the new users came here. Unfortunanly, they don't really understand what it means to be a member of a development community though, and look at XDA like it's just another smartphone forum.

I lightened up my statement a bit.. its not a lot just a select few.
I've been guilty of wrong thread bashing myself it can be kinda fun. All depends on how out of place the topic is.

P_dub_S has it right. the market just expanded so much for androids. its like when blackberry came out with the Pearl and every teenage girl had one lol... most of the new phones arnt owned by tech people. hopefully in the fallowing months they will calm down. stil think the best forum was the xda section for the eris im just happy to have a phone lol so dont mind me

Most people just don't see how hard it is to make some of this stuff work. People must think that making roms/themes/kernels is just a bunch of copying and pasting or something...one thing that bugs the living hell out of me is on those Desire HD port threads...if the OP doesn't respond in 3 days, they just bump it saying something like "Well...I guess this is dead..." Devs ain't robots, something wrong with these people...

Exactly. What people don't understand is this is a hobby. We are not making a living doing this, and I do not get paid for this. Yes its true that we do receive donations but not NEARLY as many as I think people assume.

imho...these forums which used to be filled with great developers turned into a forums filled with the developers wanting compensation or in prettier words "beer money" for their time and effort instead of "joy and fun" or "hobby" of making roms and is slowly becoming more "pay-to-play" and if you don't pay, they take their business elsewhere to their own "pay-to-play" forums....just my own observation going from windows mobile development to android....

Not doubting you, but I'm curious (because I don't frequent other forums, or noticed anyone leaving), who took their "business" elsewhere, and where did they take it? I haven't really seen that - those donation links in the sigs have been around forever...

He is correct I have seen a few developers take their ROMs elsewhere (create their own website) but I'm not sure it was about money. I have donated to a few chiefs because I understand the time that goes into making these ROMs. Its time I could be spending with my kids. People seems to feel chiefs are obligated to do this for some reason. I do it because I like it not because I want to get paid. I get paid at work. When people complain at you all the time it turns it into work and then it isn't fun anymore.

Screw all of you....I payed my turkey sandwich and a hooker! I want my damn daily updates with a rom so spectacular that it will make me a full course meal.
Of course im playing but i cant help but agree with you. I find that i spend more time sorting through "non searchers" than anything else. I hope to see this calm down over the next year. Good thing about this is that people will only get smarter and simmer down....My car forums(g35driver.com) is getting worse as the car gets cheaper. More kids and ridiculousness.

I have never had a single issue with my nexus, except self inflicted custom rom problems, and if I did have a major problem I would take it up with my phone supplier and not bore the pants off you lot on here with it. I merely make the point that there is a large amount of posts that in one way or another, ooze negativity and this is my counterbalance, because if a curious non nexus owner read these forums they would get the impression that Nexus S is a flawed and dodgy device. The XDA powers that be should consider opening another section for Nexus S "General complaints and moans". I think it would be the most popular forum and I could avoid it.

Overall great thread. My wife and I both love our nexus s'. I owned an epic for months and that was a horrible device. Ay least with the nexus s Google is working on fixing the problems. People just need to either sell the phone their unhappy with or shut the hell up. Last i checked this wasn't xda-whingers.com it was xda-developers.com

Then why don't they just return the phone, get their money back, and buy something they are happy with?
Instead they seem to use the ownership of a "defective" item as a license to ***** and moan like it's December 21st, 2012.
-Make a purchase we're not happy with: we all do that.
-Return it, or sell it on eBay: signs of intelligence.
-Keep it, and complain bitterly about it: now that's just stupid.

I have been feeling the same way lately. Every other thread is "waah my phone won't do this" or "Rawr I'm so angry that my phone does that". Its silly. If you're not happy about something chatting on the internet won't fix that. Either just shut the hell up about the issues your having because they will get fixed or sell it and get the hell out of here.

In answer to the above, is that i hope and pray that google sort the issues out and i get to keep this lovely device?
And i apologise to the guy above (willcpfc), not for sure saying "you were an idiot" ...more trying to stop you going down a path where you don't consider perfectly rightful concers as warranted.
I will take this back, if they do not sort it within the 30 day no quibble thing. If they iron out the bugs i have then i can keep this sweet lil number ...i do want this thing or i would not have walked into carphone warehouse and spend £429 right?
Was just trying to say, be carfeul calling complainers unfounded, especially when they have warranted concerns
much <3 to all
is it really that hard to consider the fustrations of people who want this thing, but cannto makes calls on it without fault? surely not right?

My point is that if you really want you bugs fixed, this is not the place. Google doesn't troll XDA for bugs it needs to work out, it has its own system in place that actually is pretty nice. All of the bugs I've heard of are on Google's bug reporting forum and if you have the issue go star it and comment. That's how you get the problem fixed not just constantly whinging on a developers forum.

Jamiemac1977, I admit it was wrong of me to launch an oblique attack on posters who I am sure have legitimate grievances. It is not my place to criticize. I just want a bit of happy shiny nexus owners to celebrate

Thanks for that, feeling is mutual, i should not rise ot the bait, pretty sure we all want a lovely sleek SNS in our pockets eh.
First time i've had an issue with a device and wanted to keep it, so that says something eh ...looking forward to a happy phone

holy smokes! that's like close to 2Ghz
it'll be nice if it didn't consume so much battery power and be able to maintain those higher clock rates

That's better. Some good, positive responses. we have some great and dedicated devs. We have the latest android. Its a good looking machine. I am sure it will grow and flourish like a flower in summer. We will see great things and be able to complete with dual core competition. Its a Google, its magnificent and we are privileged to possess one. And oneday I may even find a use for the "tag" feature!

What are you complaining for?

Ive had my Vibrant since its release on July 15th, this is my second device because a few hours out of the box it just bootlooped.
I love it, and i love the dev community thats here for it, but im tired of hearing people complain about stock updates that their not gonna use. "samsung doesnt update their devices", "This is my last samsung phone"...Are you serious? Why complain when you've had an awesome dev community since the start. People know their not going to run stock but the complain anyway. Imo, I think people are just jumping on the Samsung Hate bandwagon. This is an awesome phone and community, And our Vibrants still murder more than half the Android Comp on stock 2.1, you guys saw the youtube reviews right?.
Why dont we give more praise instead of more ungreatfullness because this just sickens me.
"AND IM NOT CRYING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES CRYING, IM SIMPLY STATING THAT ITS VERY UNNECESSARY TO CRY WHEN YOU DONT HAVE TO"

Well said. This is a beast of a phone when run on custom roms, and our amazing devs are doing some great stuff to double the performance. Kudos to them. But some people simply live to whine and ***** around in their daily life let alone an internet forum.
Love this Vibrant and this great community behind it.

One of the reasons i think sammy doesnt update is because they dont stand a chance vs our dev field so why bother you kno?

I love my Vibrant also. My phone does EVERYTHING that I could want a pocket sized computer to do; and it does it fast and it does it on a beautiful screen. The folks who have taken the time and energy to mod this rad device are plain and simply: awesome. Thanks to everyone at <TW> and EDT (my favs) for tweaking my phone in ways that I never could. Thanks to all who have worked on this device and produced a dozen + other ROMS. And thank you to the new Devs who are willing to continue tinkering with their own, hard earned, phones for the benefit of us all.

I so agree with u! this community has been great and theyve been so helpful too. Ty so much and im loving my vibrant.

Yeah and you 2 are probably some of the whiners he is talking about. If you don't have anything positive to contribute to his post then don't comment. He made a very valid statement. I haven't been a member for long, but I have seen many threads that were either titled something about never buying samsung again or whining about not getting stock updates. So unless you have something constructive to contribute to this thread then don't come in and bash him for just trying to point out that the phone is awesome and that people are worried about stock updates when they don't even use them

Disagree. This post has to reasons. To get people to see how great their phone is and to get them to be grateful for all the hardwork here in xda.

Agreed, the phone is great and still can be considered in top 5 phones out there. However I will like stock gingerbread for the sake of GPS drivers and Voodoo Kernel.

I never said his statement was invalid. I'm simply pointing out that threads like this often turn into flaming etc. People posting hate threads are a problem on this forum. People replying to those threads with flaming is also a problem. People posting thread that are prone to start flame wars are also a problem. Threads like this pop up all the time and more often than not it ends up being a flame war. I agree with the OP. People should take the phone for what it is or stfu and leave. But making this forum better isnt just about shutting down flamers when they start crap.. its also about not feeding their raging and/or posting things that invite them to start trouble. Constructive enough for you?
If you haven't been here for long than maybe you have yet to see the pattern. And maybe you should at least thing about what I said in my initial post before resorting to insults. While your at it, I invite you to find a single post of me whining about anything. Because I promise you wont.

When Samsung releases updates then our devs can tear them down and make them better. Without that source code it's very difficult to make the custom roms that are so friggin awesome. This is why we don't have a totally stable and working 2.3 rom out yet, and we probably won't until Samsung makes the stock 2.3 upgrade available.

Haha, nice man.

thanks for all the hard work yall saved me when i somehow erased everything on my phone and was stuck in cwm

I, personally, have nothing to hate on the phone about..
We all complained for 2.2, but knew that our roms that we already have are FASTER and BETTER, when we did get 2.2 stock, no one used it, it was used by devs to probably put a few things in their roms, but after that, its gone.
The GPS sucks, i get it, thats their fault, they made a mistake, other companies have before as well (Apple with their antenna) I don't use GPS i have a GPS so i use that instead of my phone.
Besides that, i can complain for probably... no flash for the camera, but thats it.
MY phone is PERFECT, with the devs all that hard work, and i'm talking about the REAL devs, not the fags who theme and call themselves devs.
(no offence to themers at all, themes are themes, and are not meant to be a full rom, with the exception of Jellette's Bi-Sidekick ofc, it had to be a new rom even though its a theme)
I, Thank you all developers for sticking with us through the hard time that Samsung has given the devs by not releasing the source code, etc.
Thank you.

Just a wee note to remind people to keep it friendly. It's becoming a bit of a habit having to close threads like this because of childish and inappropriate behaviour.
Don't let this one go the same way.
Thanks...

Agreed! Good points!

Supercurio Closed Galaxy Note Colour Rendering Issue Thread

Guys we can kiss the Black render app for the Galaxy Note goodbye.. i was really looking forward to it nevermind... The good news is the official Samsung forums have taken note of the issues and they have passed on to HQ So hopefully there should be a fix coming soon

bummer, glad I returned my gnote. highly doubt Samsung will do anything about it either.

Best to keep on returning them till you get a good one, I was second time lucky, I love my Note

This is what happens when people complain and whine because they feel entitled to get everything from the devs. As nice as it would've been to have a fix from SuperC, you have to realize that he's releasing apps for soooooo many devices, he really is a truly awesome developer but he's still human and doesn't owe anyone a damn thing. If people want fixes for stuff then start reading and code you're own damn device or shut the hell up.

I concur 100%
I won't go on and state how the flaming and the attitude that the devs work for us is BS. Every time I defend the devs or flamees I get a bad pm from a mod.
It will never stop though

The thing is people didn't ask for the fix right now or even later, it was not a ETA question, but more like: was he still working on it or not, so people could move on and stop waiting for a fix that would never come.
That got him mad. I can understand that. Maybe he was in a bad mood or something.
It's true a couple of dumbass talked about spamming him to get him to move, and that was just so stupid I can't believe it happened.
Now everyone that was just genuinely hoping that the dream of a perfect screen would come true one day can just say goodbye to that.
Everybody is punished for the sin of a few. It always works like that in real life too.
A very sad Galaxy Note user.

The fact is he was avoiding the status update like a plague.

The fact is, that he has every right to do as he pleases.
A fact is also that many good programmers are very bad in communication.

Maybe we should get a collection together or bounty for a dev to make an app for us, then if the app does not turn up, or does not work correctly working, no money.
Just a list of members names, everybody pays 10$ on completion of the app via paypal start a new thread just for this.
My Note works great, and i don't want to root it, so i don't really need the app myself it was just a thought.
John.

I knew it would happen.
Time and efforts wasted both SC and the waited.

So very true, but one in modern world will face repercussions for that.
SC can not be surprised for community backslash. He manifested such surprise.

Thats what happens when people put a slur a dev's character in a thread - I don't blame the bloke for closing it and wiping his hands with the Note Community, some of the posts were downright personal.

Come on People. Note doesn't ends here. Someone will step-in the shoe (one fine day). Besides there are other worlds to sing in.

nobody talked about spamming SuperC,what was suggested was to send him a PM so that people with this problem will show him that he should kindly assist and update the status of the project.it was made clear that nobody is spamming him and the Gnote owners are just desperatethis got him angry but yet an apology was rendered

OK; some of you here are *****ing about members asking about updates or annoying him. He said "I never promised anything" but, and I quote:
"And after that.. there will be fixes and solutions."

Like anyone who says stuff on the internet, it has to be taken with a handful of salt but saying something as clear as that from a recognized dev DOES inspire hope in a fix.
Quit defending him. He's old enough to defend himself if he indeed feels he's being attacked, and by my standards he should've expected at least some reaction. Bait and switch will piss people off; according to the closed thread he was holding off for public ICS release because it was required for the app to work.
Personally, now that I have an S3, I can return the note under warranty for a fix.

Thank you for understanding what is happening i guess when someone offended you and latter genuinely apologies you shouldn't hold grudges

I don't think he did anything wrong by closing the thread.
Some trolls wanted to 'seek attention' and started spamming the thread.
If there was NO solution, he would have closed it long ago.

Nono, it doesn't work like that. You just can't open a thread and say you will save the world, and then let it dye not answering doubts and questions from other users. Next time, FIND a solution first and THEN tell the world. OR accept people *****ing.

I can already see this thread will die an early death, how about people just stop *****ing and we are all friends again
