This phone is so far from perfect, I actually hate it, Its one of the crappiest Android phones there is when compared to HTC etc...
I spilt the most tiniest bit of milk on it, I mean a splash and dried it within a second, now.... when plugged into USB on my pc it says USB Device Not Reconized and that it has failed... it charges fine but WONT work in usb, turning it off n on worked fine until today... now it sometimes doesnt want to turn on by power button, I have to plug the power cable to get it to boot...
to make such a statement you'd have to spill the same amount of milk over different devices. For scientific results you'd also need a considerable amount of the different devices, at least 100 I9000s and HTC Desires for example.
Considering the finances of a private person you can also just test 20 of the same devices or so.
after that you can make assumptions about milk resistance.
Good luck and happy testing

Theducking @ nice post dude. Made my day )
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
My galaxy survived rain, drop in mud, juice spill.
You just don't have luck.
no it has to be milk, otherwise you just assume that a) the galaxy has problems with all liquids (to prove this would require additional tests) and b) that other phones are more resistant to milk (which some things additional to water in it) than the galaxy.
i guess we should try beer also... but we should start with some htc devices in beer.
And with some iphones in other liquids, not that i would mention them here...

Phone is blamed because of the carelessness of the user. Phone not meant to get soaked. If your other phones were also got wet then there must be something wrong on how you handle your things...
Besides Galaxy s was never advertised as liquid-proof...
I could call, text, surf the net, download games, play games, play music, watch videos and many more without any problem. Is it really a crappy phone?

As see your assumption fails to take into consideration that after many years of hard work I have retired and emigrated to Ireland.
Was it a small dribble of "man milk" that you spilt on it ?
I have been trying to work out the purpose of this post, as it seems pretty clear that the OP is not actually asking for help or advice, but merely having a small fit about what is clearly either a coincidence or seriously bad luck. Surely he must have some higher, edifying purpose behind his post.
Then I saw it...MILK! He is warning us against the evils of milk...and he is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
Milk, or cow grease as it is known to the wise, is SATAN'S OWN BEVERAGE! I have seen the destruction that milk can unleash, thousands dead, millions more scarred for life and I for one can tell you that you should NOT believe the hype, or assume because it is sickeningly white and innocent looking that milk is actually GOOD FOR YOU! Quite the opposite my friends. MILK is sheer, liquefied TERROR! Poor, helpless babies only drink it because we FORCE them to by locking them into elevated chairs and shoving evil MILK DISPENSERS into their horrified mouths when they can't resist. For the love of decency, STOP THE HORROR OF MILK.
MILK! Defend yourselves and your phones against it, OR PAY THE PRICE!

I have been following the HD2 for some months now and to be honest I want to have its babies.
In all that time there always seems to be a small but very vocal minority who seem to be on a “This Phone is crap, its 3 million % slower than Phone X, O MY GOD what has HTC done”
To be honest I am starting to wonder if there is some kind of anti HTC HD2 movement going on, so please guys if you don’t like the HD2 fine just please GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
And no I am not a fan boy living in pink fluffy world; in fact I have just had the pleasure of an hour of one on one time with the Retail unit and its sooooooo good. There is no lag, the screen is great and it is clearly, in my mind, the best phone this year and possibly next year as well.
Now I know that not all of you will agree with me, that’s fine but please give the HD2 bashing a rest or at least wait until you have personal tested one and have something constructive to say.
+1 Fed up of seeing people who havent got the phone speculating on poor performance etc.
.
and another +1
It is and will be a great phone. Nothing is perfect thou.
If you want the perfect phone then I am sure someone is releasing a phone in a months time that will be guaranteed a market leader for 10 years and deliver 34 days talk time and 8" screen in a 2" body.
From my point of view I had no problems putting my $$ on the table. I also owned the Touch HD and found it was also a great phone. One of the reasons I upgraded is that fact that the prev phone met my expectations and more than happy to repeat the cycle.
If you have a problem then please feel free to buy an alternative solution and contribute to another forum.
Thanks
+1 from an owner ANd ive even owned an Iphone before lol. Great for me
I've had my HD2 for two days. A few niggles, but so far it's the best fcukin phone I've ever used...
Sadly there are a lot of self centred whiners and crybabies ouut there who believe that they deserve to have HTC design a phone exclusively for them, and see anything else as a personal attack and attempt at rape on them from HTC. The logic of "if you don't like it, STFU and GTFO" is sadly missed by these dregs of humanity.
I just wish that they'd get lost and take their "omg someone told me it doesn't realy have a capacitive screen and it plays videos at 4% full speed and omg does it have a battery and will it work in america" asking the same question over-and-over-and-over-and-over idiot friends with them.
Would all the Naysayers and miserably gits please leave the room.

Well, I think that all the people bashing HTC HD2 are just jealous that they cannot afford it...
I've got mine on order (should be coming today or tomorrow) and after reading this thread I just cannot wait for it to arrive. As always with a new device you get fanboys of other devices that can't wait to bash it but you can usually tell these from people who actually own the phone or have had time with it.

Well, that was kind of my point: I do like the phone. I may well buy one. You only think I hate it because you are a crazed, rabid HTC fan-boy and you mentally classify everyone who is anything less than a crazed, rabid HTC fan-boy, including balanced moderates, as being at the extreme negative end of the love/hate spectrum. You remind me of George W Bush ("you are either with us or against us"); in reality there are quite a wide range of possibilities in between, and most sensible people are placed somewhere along that continuum, between the two extremes. As Obi-Wan Kenobi observed, "only a sith deals in absolutes".

Do you want to talk about your problem(s)?
Seriously I think the main cause of the negativeness are the new techniques of the device. For example you just have to get used to the capacitive screen, only responding to your finger. Furthermore it's the first version of the new WM6.5, it still isn't perfect (but hopefully will be soon!).
But after three days I'm loving it more by the minute!
Mr Shasarak I have been expecting you, welcome.
Fanboy, me?
Well I am a fan of this phone and yes I am male so I guess I am a fanboy. Self deluded HTC lover nope sorry.

What is overclock?
Wikipedia said:
Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. Some purchase low-end computer components which they then overclock to higher clock rates, or overclock high-end components to attain levels of performance beyond the specified values. Others overclock outdated components to keep pace with new system requirements, rather than purchasing new hardware.[1]

It's when you make your phones clock run faster effectively turning your phone into a time machine, but it's a big responsibility with some serious risks.
Beware the butterfly effect.

As the title says, where do you put ur old phones? GF, sell, throw away, donate it?
I'm pretty happy that I managed to sell my HTC Tattoo, but maybe there are phone models which can't be sold anymore because they are not valuable anymore...
i have plenty of friends with less money then i
Selling my Htc magic hehe to a guy that was honest with me that he wants to buy them to fix and re-sell them (doesn't care about condition), and a good price too of 235$ canadian.
unless I can find higher i'll sell to him.
can't wait for sammy phone
The store I ordered it buys the old phones
As I do with all my old phones, give it one of the nursing staff who need it better than I.
EDITED:
Forgot to say, it's an HD2
The phone i'm currently using is having its last breath and i don't know how it's working right now :\
Plus its company had a bankrupcy so even if i tried to donate it ,it'll be thrown back at my face ... guss what is it ?!
Its name is O2 Atom Life , i had Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 before but it died in front of my eyes so i went back to the mentioned device >_>
When i buy Galaxy S i want to do something with my O2 that'll makes me feel good and right now the only idea i'm having is throwing it from a high place
Gonna try to sell my bricked G1 on ebay. Hopefully someone would need parts when I do.
Giving mine to the GF, its the HTC Desire, which I still like immensely and want to keep around to play with when it gets Froyo etc
o2 mini
Putting my legendary O2 mini as table clock. Task reminder and daily weather report.
Wife's destiny!
The goal before my eyes, to buy the galaxy s, I had to promise my wife that she is allowed to crush my diamond with big hammer!!!
She hate's it so much, cause I played araound and flashed new ROMs all the time
I have a feeling that it will be getting worse with the galaxy s, but at least I have green lieght to buy one...

So very, very mad at my G1. A trip to the desert with my 12 gauge will set things right!
Use it as my drunk phone when I'm out and drinking.
Or maybe I just use my even older W850i for that.
X1 wasn't really cheap when it come out and I dont know if I want to lost it when I'm drunk.
It's still awesome phone.
Ill send in my nexus one to google to get it replaced for minor cosmetic damage. Then i'll either sell it, give it to the wife (which is unlikely since she drops and loses all the gadgets i give her) or put it in the draw on top of my Xperia X1i.

Dont even make me bring up umbrellas ... The loss of my umbrellas brings a tear to my eye ... they were not just regular umbrellas they were art.
A week later after she had borrowed my umbrella ... "Hey babe do you know where my umbrella is ..." She replies ... "Oh, yea, I forgot it in the train, im sorry. Can i borrow this other one its pouring outside?"
At that point I just have to give up and give in. It is a helpless cause ... what did i get myself into.
I can't give my old one to the misses, she already wants a Galaxy S too, and being Korean she thinks she's more entitled to the first one!
I'll probably put a stock ROM back on my HD and offer it up on FreeCycle.
I'll keep my touchpro and drop the sim in it when I'm out on the water. That way if my phone goes swimming at least it's not the galaxy.
"Samsung Mobile" (from Facebook) just posted the 1st add for the Galaxy s2 on YouTube:
It can't be too much longer folks!
If only the phne truly was waterproof like the advertisment.
Samsung logo, here it is
Yep, that was posted a few days back in another thread. Looks nice and sexy.
It was leaked a few days ago but now we've got it from Samsung Mobile directly, so that's a good sign indeed!

I fail to see how Moto continuously makes the spec oriented adds for the Xoom when Apple is winning the hearts of many with it's emotionally attached and "awe inspiring" commercials of the iPad 2.

well that's kinda simple...
the Tech oriented commercials are trying to attract the geeky / nerdy cloud of consumers (Us here people on forums)
the Awe, Cute, Funny, Nice, etc type commercials are aimed to the regular home user that knows nothing about the phone, they just want something that looks great, and works, and fully packed with features they don't even use.
and Samsung is doing well in the 2nd type of commercials
This is .. The worst ad ever !! The worst ad ever !!

I know this, but as you can see with the sales numbers, the Xoom isn't selling THAT well. People are quick to forget that "we" make up a small percentage of the market and that isn't where companies need to advertise.
Think about it, how many people who actually know what those specs mean wouldn't already know about the Xoom? The point of a commercial isn't to advertise to your target audience (of course it is, in a way) because we are already "sold".
With new products like these, they should be going for the average Co sumer, one who doesn't know about the tablet and is wondering why they should get that over the iPaD.

Pretty cool
Please do not take this the wrong way.
Why is it cool a celebrity uses it, in fact I don't get the whole celebrity endorsement thing anyway.
I have never once in my life bought anything based on an endorsement.
My thought is, as all companies do it, instead of paying them millions for a commercial, use that money in other ways that would actually Increase sales.
There is no person alive that if I walked up to them it would make me scream, cry, or act crazy.
Got off on a rant there sorry, it just irritates me people on here are getting screwed with their orders or returns but I bet Samsung has given millions to people to carry and promote the phone
Well we don't know that he was endorsing the phone at all in that picture. Hes a guy whos well know and using Android, I say thats win all around most celebs are Mac heads. Have to keep the zombies in check actor are people too shouldn't really matter what they use. I wonder why he chose it?

They are using money to increase sales, with celebrity endorsements. It works because people want a phone like Taylor Swift has, it might help them shake it off even better.
It looks like he genuininely is using the phone as his personal device (using the spen for instance). He's certainly not posing for photos with it. I think people have him all wrong.
Celebrity endorsements really don't mean anything to me, but, at the same time, it's nice to see a Hollywood star ditch the iPhone and use an Android, much less a Note 4.

Agreed, and don't take this the wrong way, your signature says john 3:16 and there is no one on the planet that would make me fall for any religion, why is it cool to just believe, when we have a thinking brain?
Just saying, there are things that bother us, but we need to learn to live and let live.
I am all for live and let live.
Not sure what my signature has to do with anything whatsoever to do with anything mentioned but by all means, use your thinking brain in any way you please.

If you think for 1 second that these clebs get millions to carry a phone around then you are nuts. They may get a phone for free but thats about it. Unless its a TV deal for a select few then that is about it. If its not on TV its usally just free swag.
