EVOReviews Wants to expand testing

Mods please delete this post, this didn't turn out at all how I wanted it to. I wasn't trying to get a new phone from anyone or anything like that, sorry I came off that way. I also wasn't trying to make any monetary gain. I just shot this thread up real quick before I went somewhere today and I obviously didn't think about how it would be perceived to everyone.

Are you kidding me, you come here and ask us to pitch in money to buy you a phone?
Please go back to the other side. We support our own developers and moderators who put in countless time and energey to develop, publish, and
answer. This is who we should support, and don't always properly do so.
And they don't come with their hands out telling us if we give them this, they will do that.
Go back to you little site and quit trolling here.

So you want us to buy you a phone so you can review and post about kernels/roms/boot animations on your Comcast At Home site?
I mean....we do this here for free... I'm not sure exactly what service you offer, but other than putting out an opinion that is probably incredibly biased by your personal taste....doesn't seem like anything anyone would be interested in...

This looks like something xda frowns upon, and why would we buy you a new phone. I will gladly donate and help developers who bricked there phones to help the community. But this is like a homeless person begging for money..
Donating to get a review of stuff, uh no...

are there people out there stupid enough to fall for this?

Not anyone here, almost everyone here, is someone intelligent, or maybe not..

Wait, I got a great idea, why don't y'all buy ME another Epic, then I will travel all around taking pictures of the donated Epic with my Epic, then I will post them to my new, slightly unknown website!

Come on, people, be nice. It never hurts to ask.
At the same time, if what you're asking is ridiculously laughable, then...well...never mind. Carry on, people, until the thread's deleted. This might prove fun for an otherwise boring work day.

Sure, I'll gladly reciprocate if you don't mind first contributing towards the needed hardware for my website soon to be called porsche911review.net

Will someone chip in so I can start a 60inchplasmareview.com website?
Seriously dude, nobody's going to buy you a phone so you can "review" it and put links to roms and stuff on your free Comcast website. If you were a developer, and wanted to help the community, maybe.

This is what gets me....hell Domains are CHEAP, hosting is CHEAP. As many hits as you don't get a day, you could probably run a site for less than $50 a year.

Wow, I didn't mean to offend anyone, I just can't afford the phone to do the testing on, so I thought I would throw it out there. If someone I knew had the phone I would just borrow it from them every time a new kernel dropped for updating. Mods can remove this thread, offending people was the last thing I wanted.

$450? The hell?
Look on Craigslist, in my area Evo and Epic 4G's go for around $200-250
Edit: Not to mention that you could get one with a bad ESN for even less.

That reminds me, I wonder if my Angelfire website is still around.....

Goodbye

I have really appreciated all the hard work all the developers have done for the epic since I have purchased it in january. I really appreciated Ptfdmedics Roms, in response to that I will share Autism Awareness with the my Incredible 2 community by adding his banner to my Sig. I really did learn a lot from you guys, since I got my epic, I have worked on my fiance's old G1, her current hero, and my best friends EVO. Each one was a challenge in its own respects, and I couldnt have done it without you guys.
I just posted my Epic on Ebay, and will be getting the Incredible 2 here shortly. I am sad to be leaving sprint, but excited to be seeing the quality difference in coverage verizon supposedly has. I am not excited about my bandwidth limitations, since we missed the date for the unlimited amount.

We don't need any more goodbye threads from no name people
There was a whole thread on ppl flaming noname ppl for makr a ton of these
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

No going flame or call you no named, but thank the devs personally whose work you enjoyed. They will appreciate it, but personally I'm not super interested in the backstory of someone leaving anyway. I'd prefer to read threads about someone who thought they were going to have to leave for whatever reason and were able to stay in our community, imo.

If you're not a developer leaving....who...the...HELL...cares....-_-

I could write like five or six of these. I have come extremely close to trading this phone off for a shift or an evo. The first couple of times it didn't happen was because the deals fell through. Later on I figured out that i would lose voodoo and that gave me pause. Then EF02 came around and fixed most of my problems.
What later insured that i would stay were Anonymous rom i3 which gave my phone a new lease on life and worked great in almost every way. Lastly, independent tests showed the epic's radio is only slightly worse than most phones and doesn't have major issues like the evo3d and nexus s. I just have bad sprint service in my area.

At no point did the OP disrespect the community or anyone else. What he did is harmless. If you don't want to read it, don't click on it.
What this community really doesn't need is people being pricks for no damn reason. It doesn't matter if he is a "no name" or a dev-god. Stop being a **** and maybe this place will stop sucking.

PS: Replying to the thread just bumps it and continue s to make it visible. Seems counterproductive to the complaints IMHO.

Thanks all for the best wishes. I would have left input more often and upped my numbers in posts, but I always became side tracked or couldn't remember my log in info. The info I have received from many of your posts has been invaluable.
I sure hope that the Incredible 2 penny sale lasts till tomorrow or Wednesday so I can still place my order, am waiting for my epic to sell or get at least a bid before I purchase my new phone and service.
Also, can someone pm the code to add the Autism Awareness banner to my signature? If not no problem, ill figure it out.

^^This all day. I have absolutely no problem if someone chooses to leave for other pastures, don't really have any problem with someone who posts about it if/when they do so in the respectful and humble manner the OP did though I myself if it were me would just be gone and leave it at that.
The only issue I ever have with those who say 'goodbye' is those who leave and take the opportunity on their way out to gripe, moan and complain about everything the phone isn't/wasn't for them or everything else negative under the sun and even worse in some cases basically try and tell the rest of us that we're a bunch of ignorant sots for not packing our bags and moving on too. The OP did nothing remotely like that and deserves respect & kudos for the above board manner in which he's moving on rather than flaming (which is against the rules anyway, but its unjustified regardless in this case).

If a person leaves EPIC 4G for the Samsung Within or the EPIC 4G 2, does it count as leaving? How about to Galaxy S on another network?

So long and thanks for all the fish

This will be my last thread here. XDA is no longer the site I once loved and cherished.
Thank you to all the devs here who've had made my Shift awesome and who I've learned so much from.
Thank you to all the friends I've made here. I'd be sad to leave you but I know that I'll still be seeing all who matter in Huddle or IRC.

A major part of it from what I have seen since I've been here is the quality of the people. Not accusing or placing blame on anyone. But there is a major difference from when I joined in march to now.

I understand completely, as I used to be very active on here, but do little more than lurk in the shadows these days. The people here are rude miscreants, the mods/admins are power tripping paedophiles living in there moms basements, and there is really nothing posted on here that cannot be done with a minor understanding of linux and java.
P.S. After what the mods did with Indirect, while supporting a scam artist, I feel confident of a ban. So, to the mod that bans me, I forgive you already, as I have worked hard to put myself in an excellent place in life, you have not, so I understand the anger. Look at this way, at least you and your mother will have a dinner topic to discuss (as opposed to the ususal conversations about the health of her favorite cats).

Was talking to Indirect on IRC.
He wanted me to tell you he says thanks cloverdale and that you can find him in the shift forums of sdx.

I have to say i totally agree, im sorry to say xda is corrupt... even though the devs are great this has gone to far. 1 month ago the shift forums were a peaceful place, we all got along knowing that every shift is different... now mandatory donations and jerks come along
LET THE HUDDLE LIVE ON!

Well, this thread appears to be full of mature people doesn't it?
Closing this before someone else calls us "power tripping paedophiles living in their moms basements"

Leaving the Atrix....

i now have the SGSII, just got it today and loving it, i've also moved to Sprint due to better service plan, annnnd i get a 25% discount on my bill cause of my job, i loved the atrix but it was time to move on to Sprint to help myself out budget wise, but i hope yall get ICS and more roms(hopefully an official version of CM7) it's been great yall

It's too bad XDA is overrun with assholes. If you don't care he's leaving, then don't reply and his post will quickly fall the bottom and no one has to read it. Take your insecurities out on someone in real life; see how that works out for you.
G1-8701, peace out. Enjoy your new phone. Though, you should really check out the new Atrix 2. It's way underrated and the sleeper phone of the year (or couple months, whatever it turns out to be).

On so many levels, XDA used to be so much different. (AKA a lot friendlier)
The people trolling in threads and others retaliating with profanity is exactly why we are seeing more and more devs leaving.
We need to have more "community" going on around here. If you don't like a thread, please fight the urge to ignore it instead of getting into a flame war.
And on that note, can we please lock this up?...

I have been a member of this forum for a couple of years now. I don't post a lot but I do try to read a lot of the posts. I would just like to say I've never seen anyone as helpful on this forum as evo4gnoob is. He's everywhere all the time and answers everybody's questions and I've never seen him get upset while doing so. He is super helpful to all of the Dev's as well answering questions about their particular roms. If one could get nominated for a forum moderator or forum assistant or whatever, he would be a shoe in. Thanks evo4gnoob.
p.s. You might want to take the "noob" out of your handle

Yea, he's good peeps, and deserves it. And to do the latter, he'd have to make a new account. But that's half the fun in it.

I killed the human knight in the beginning, EVERYONE in the shrine, the giant blacksmith and the merchant in the Undead Berg (he had an annoying laugh). Easiest way to kill them was to lead them to an edge and try to bounce them off with your shield. You may die, but they die too because they follow off the edge.
Could gun for leadership over on Android Passions... Small community but peaceful, involved admins and mods. Of course I'm staying here, just something to supplement here
