Hey, we won't tell anyone if it happens to fall in-front of that truck tire...

What don't you like about the Moment? I've heard good things...with exception to the horrible placement of the space bar on the physical keyboard.

Please, Please, Please make a thread about how you want to purposely brick your moment so you can make the switch.
I love love love! watching the brick police come in and throw hissy fit temper tantrums claiming you're ruining modern society by making false phone insurance claims.

When man has bricked the last cell phone only then will we realize we cannot eat refurbs

Well, if you decide to break it, please think up something creative and video it for us to see. Do something cool like the guy who got angry at his lawn mower and shot it in public with a shotgun. Please

I just my hero in February and I want to get the Evo. My phone is prestine I have the invisible shield on it and the otter box shield on it and its rooted also running the 2.08 Damagecontrol Rom. What would be a good price to sale it for. I was offered 85.00. I feel that's to low.

I hear thermite bricks phone pretty easily.

My main problem with the moment is this: Radom Airplane mode and EVDO lockups for no apparent reason. Only way to fix is to reboot the phone. Other than that the thing ways a freakin ton. I like the keyboard and the AMOLED screen though. Also, I miss you guys and installing a new ROM or theme every day

yeah my buddy just got the moment the other day, had it for less than a day and it was stuck in airplane mode lol if you have insurance then just tell them you lost it???

Gunny, do you not have 30 days to return it?

(rant)this is why I posted a straight trade for my hero from that buggy ass hardware in the moment...some sucker took the bait and did a trade for that pos..
been loving my hero ever since..things to hate about the moment..no matter what rooted rom you use that phone always locks up into airplane mode or random reboots..samsung should be ashamed of that phone they put the android name on
if you blow the phone up or anything make sure you youtube it and post a link..my buddy is going to make a video of what a moment looks like after getting blown up by a 50 caliber round by his service spier riffle at 300 meters....it will be an epic video lol.well when he gets back state side...almost makes me want to buy another moment just to annihilate one...that phone pissed me off so bad...(/end rant)

There will be nothing left to video. I wonder if the tiny bits and pieces will even be identifiable as a Samsung Moment..

Hell they been doing trades on Craigslist for those for the last couple months if you lived near I'd give you my girlfriends. Don't know why but she wants one. Good luck.

Hell yes it does
The Moment really sucks. Check the Sprint community forums at their official website, there's a known issue with the Moment experiencing fake-airplane/CDMA modem lock ups. The only way to get the connection back when it happens is to shut the phone down and turn it back on. I went through six Moments. The last time I swapped it, I just hung out at the bookstore next door until the data connection would break, then take it back over there so they could vainly try to fix it, then replace it with another Moment; rinse and repeat until they finally agreed to give me a Hero like I asked when I first walked into the store. When I went in last time, they said that if I had came in in May, and not June (the third in this case), they could've swapped it then with the hero (said something about swapping for a different device if there are so many swaps within a 6 month period). PITFA.
Anyway, I have my Hero now, and it works wonderfully, and has way better battery life than the moment. -AND- multitouch works on the Hero, which it won't on the Moment, even with the 2.1 update... I'm never buying Samsung ever again.

yeah you should definitely just go back to the Hero

Found someone who wants to trade back to the Hero for me

Share your most unforgettable story between you and your beloved HTC HD2...

Guys let's give ourselves a break! Everyday we try to make our phones work better and faster. Searching for ROMS, RADIOs, Themes, ICONs, APPs and everything that is available out there and trying them out one by one. "Even soldiers at war know when to sleep.." This time let's share some interesting, funny, scary or any story that you can share. Let's talk about our stories with our HTC HD2s!
Let's try to have some fun while reading different stories between you and your beloved HTC HD2. Let's share not only good things that happened but also the bad stuffs, and maybe someone out there can learn something from your story.
So what are you waiting for? Start sharing your stories here!

I'm currently staying here in Riyadh because of work. Every once in awhile, me and my friends went out. We went to Khobar that day, it was weekend here so we have no work. About 4-5 hours travel by car just to get there, so we have a few stop overs just to go to the cr, buy some drinks and get some gas. On the mid-way of you trip, we have this stop over on a gasoline station, i went to the other car to check for our other friends there. Then we continued our trip. After more or less 20 mins, i started to noticed that i can't find my phone anywhere. I didn't let my friends know it at first because i thought i just put somewhere in my bag. But after 10 mins of looking, my heart starts to beat fast. At that time i only have my phone for 2 months i think, so i was so nervous but i didn't let my friends see it through me. Then i asked one of them to please call my number so that we would know if the phone was on the car or not. Then he said that it was ringing but we are not hearing anything inside the car. Then he said that a saudi guy answered the phone, at this point i don't know what to do and i was so scared. Then i told him that if he's just only joking it was not funny. Then he handed over to me his phone and when i said "hello.." someone replied from the other side. I was so scared that the guy who found my phone will not return it to me anymore. Then he told us that he found my phone on a gasoline station. Then he said that we will meet on the next bridge. After reaching the next bridge at a speed of 180km/hr, we called the guy again. He said that he was waiting there for 10 mins and he left already. He said that we will meet on the next bridge again. At this point im completely losing hope of seeing my phone again.
When we reached the said bridge, we called the my phone again and the guy said that he was waiting there for quite sometime and that he was on his way to Dammam. We told him to wait for us at the road going to Dammam, then he told us that he was going to a wedding and he was on a hurry. Then he said that in the evening that day he will be in Khobar for the wedding and he will return my phone there.
I didnt enjoy the rest of our trip because im still worried about my phone. Then as soon as it get's dark, we called the guy again. And he said that he was in Khobar that time and we will meet. I'm still nervous at that point, but my friends told me that the guy will return my phone.. blah blah blah.. Then the guy told us to hurry up because he will be leaving soon. So we asked him to give us 3 more mins and we will be there.
Then when we arrived at the said place, we saw the guy on a Lexus Black 2008 edition i think. The guy handed the phone to us with out any questions.
I was so thankful that my phone was returned. And imagine, i dropped the phone in a gasoline station but then when it was returned to me there are no scratches or anything, thanks to my Piel Frama leather case!
Since that day, i never let even a split second that i can't see my phone. I promised myself to take care of it very well. I treated my phone as if i was taking care of a cute puppy.
As of today im still waiting for my Otterbox Defender Case to be shipped. And im willing to give my very best for my phone!
That's all...
Thanks,
Pongskie

Great story, glad to hear you got it back. I'd be panicking loads if I thought I'd lost my hd2 and someone had taken it.
I was annoyed when someone stole my Sony Ericsson P800 back in the day.

Yeah! I think my chest was going to burst that time. That's why i'm so thankful to have it back again! Thanks for reading my story! And sorry for you Sony Ericsson P800. Hope you can post any unforgettable story about you HD2!

Mine is a bit lame, but over the past 2 weeks myself and my wife have been in hospital with our 3 week premature little girl in nursery care, during that time the HD2 was my saving grace, being able to stay on keep in touch with friends on facebook and general web browsing, take regular photos of our girl to update my wife while she was recovering from the surgery (c-section) and bub was in nursery, post online and send to family, uploading video to youtube etc. Everything is in this phone, there is not one limitation and thats what I love about it.

My HD2 came in like a champ. Yeah, I know I could have edone this with most phones, but for me, I like the flexability of this phone. and the size!!! I'm 6' 8'' and this phone fits me. Finally a phone that does not fill like I'm the giant in the room. BTW, I'm the normal one!!! the rest of you are muchkins!

No understanding.
When I put the kids to bed obviously I have my HD2 just in case I need to check something.... My eldest daughter has now put a sign up outside her room "no telefon" she's only 6 still learning to spell.
Obviously my wife loved that and was thinking of getting one for the bedroom.
On a sad note my HD2 has been away getting fixed for 3 weeks (been using the old touch diamond which is still good) how they all laughed when I told them it had broke. Getting it back tomorrow hopefully.
p.s.
That's not my real name, if anybody saw this thread apart from HD2 owners we're F****ed. They wouldn't understand.

On a recent camping trip to the English Lake district,the torch came in really useful
for picking my way through the guy lines to find the toilet late at night.
Also was able to take photos and upload them straight to Facebook
so family could be kept up to date,was good to be able to use the router function
as well to run my laptop from a field awesome....

Great advice. Good to hear u didn't get hurt.

Well said, friend. Glad you're ok!

Ouch. Glad you're unharmed. Also count your blessings since $2000 is somewhat more manageable than when there are cops and other parties are involved.

Glad to hear you're okay. Even though $2000 is a lot of money, it's nothing compared to your own safety and well being.
And don't try to use your phone while driving again.

My phone is seated on the car air vent, also doing anything on your phone while the car is in motion is pretty dumb, if I must make a phone call I wait for a red light , or use Google voice action do dial.

I keep mine in a windshield mounted dock. That makes glancing between the phone and the road really quick. Even then I still won't mess with it unless I'm stopped or on a straight section of road with no traffic.

Forgot my phone this morning

I got to my office this morning and realized that I left my phone on the counter at home. I feel totally naked without it, and I am granting all of the devs a day off so I don't miss flashing anything new.
Much appreciated

I would have probably gotten "sick" and had to get off early

congrats on #200
I had to drive to Pittsburgh from Philly for a weekend, realized I forgot my phone and turned around 2.5 hours into the drive to pick it up. I had a fully functional BB and ipad with me, but it's not the same.

I would go crazy without it in my Pocket or around me at all times. I admit it....my name is chad and I'm an evo/xda junky and there is no cure

Yes I always felt naked without my phone, but especially with this one with everything you need at your fingertips.

Phone Fails!

I thought it would be fun to share some stories about phone fails! whether that be development that went wrong or accidents or embarrassing stories involving your phone. I'll start...
I used to be in the Army and one day while on exercise in Scotland, I was running and tripped. I slid for about 10 metres on my front with everyone laughing at me. I didnt realise until i got back to my room that my phone had been in my chest pocket and was now smashed to smithereens .. That weekend i went to buy a new phone, i needed one because i was going on exercise again for 3 days. I decided on the old Sony with the sliding shutter on the back (i forget the model number). it was a great little phone. I spent the whole night in my trench watching videos on my new phone, so happy. The next day we were going back to camp so we packed our stuff, filled in our trenches again and headed off. It was only when I was unpacking my kit back at camp that I realised my phone had fallen out of my pocket in my trench, I had buried it under six feet of dirt and the next day i was shopping for a phone (for the second time in a week!) epic fail
i think it would be great if others could share their experiences here! i'd love to know im not the only idiot in the G3 forum!

Oh no.
I remember the times when I was extremelly adicted to xda (not that i am not). I used to download each and every rom and would flash it just too see something new.
I remember the time when i flashed some stock rom. I left the computer while the odin fladh thing was completeing. When i came back, i saw my little brother had disconnected the usb eventhough the flash process wasnt complete.
I was SO scared cause it had a bootloader and if you interrupt the flash you brick your phone. It hadn't been a month since i had the phone and i imagined what would be my father's reaction
Moreover it would be hard to explain him what had really happened as he doesnt know anything of this.
I secretly went to samsung centre and those idiots said my mother board had a problem. I hardly beileved this so i came back to xda.
Finally i found an unbricking program which worked flawlessly.
But yeah, lesson learnt. Now i always stay near the phone until i see the "pass"screen.

Had the trustworthy Nokia 6233 before this awesome G3!
Anyways once had gone for a picnic to a nearby beach. We hadn't planned on getting into the water; just have a good lunch, play a little and head back home. But well the obvious happened and we did get into the water. I handed my 6233 to a friend of mine who was just sitting on a rock nearby (not in the water though) Had a lot of fun, with absolutely no concern for the world! That's when my sister pointed out that the friend who I'd given my mobile to, was also in the water!!
Oh, shattered, completely. Took the phone, opened it up, removed the battery and kept it for drying for 2 days. Alas it didn't boot ever again
But as they say everything happens for a reason. Went out and got G3 and like they say the rest is history
