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

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.....

Taking Leave

I am going to be taking leave from XDA and the Epic development world for a while. I make no guarantees about what will happen with regard to INC but I suspect you won't be seeing the name around much longer.
I will be working on the Indulge while I lay low for a month or two. I make no guarantees beyond that. I will not be answering any questions regarding myself, ACS, INC, or any member thereof. Do not ask. You will not get answers.
Behave yourself, kiddos.

Aw damn it... good luck I guess. Hope you come back.

You will be sadly missed. You have done great things for the Epic and made it a better phone. Thanks for everything and enjoy yourself with whatever you go on to do. I hope to possibly find you on a future phone It's been a pleasure.

Damn bro, sux to hear that you're taking a leave. I'm sure you have reasons why you decided to stay low for a while. Good luck and I just want to say that I appreciate/enjoy your work.

Yes i will be getting E3D also... seems to be the only decent choice on sprint right now for me ...
Dual core 1.5 GHz processors under-clocked to 1.2....Think about the OC possibilities
Sure ill miss the Amoled but we all know the Evo name gets all the love and you can't deny HTC build quality.... After this phone i will try my best to avoid Sammy.

Oh dayyuuummm. Losing a great dev. Good luck man. Hope to still see you around.

Take care. Have fun with the other projects. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the projects here with the Epic community. You made this place better with your efforts. Have a good one.

Even us newbies will miss you terribly. Best to you.

Trying to lighten the mood: No puzzlezs for z..? lol jk

One more thing... As some of your saw in my statistics thread, my domain serves a lot of traffic. You all don't have to worry about missing files or broken links. Everything that was hosted, stays hosted.
Z, you'll get your puzzles. I was never the one working on them.

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
and no this wasn't meant to steer anybody away from the atrix, just saying goodbye and thanx for all the help and laughs yall, keep it up

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?...

Agreed. I tried making a thread to get people too come togther and acomplish something for the betterment of our device and of course same deal someone had too come in and run there mouth. I should have ignored him but spoke my mind and now my thread is closed. Come on people were all on here because we like our device not too argur and pick fights with people.

Goodbye Epic

After nearly a year with the Epic that I had high hopes for, I jumped... After the lack of updates/bug fixes and the little quirks that I learned to live with and even defend, as stupid as that is, I snatched an evo 3d from the net. I've had it about 12 hours and so far I dig it. Very smooth, no noticeable bugs yet and battery life seems to be good too.
I'm debating on keeping the epic and seeing how it performs when CM7 is or gingerbread is up but I really don't see me going back. Although, that display is excellent.

You should keep your Epic just in case you need a good camera. HTC cameras always sucked.

Since this is here, I feel the same way. I have so many problems with my Epic that I'm considering getting the N4GS, but I gotta dig into the forums to find out the most common problem it has
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yeah, wanted to love the epic, it was like a bad girlfriend tho.... I dug around the forum a bit and did some reading, considered a nexus or an epic touch but just couldn't bring myself to go with Samsung again. Got a good enough deal on this evo 3d that I'll barely have any out of pocket expense if I sell the epic. I will miss the screen and the keyboard but those weren't a good enough reason to continue dealing with the bugs.
Day two with this phone, can't put it down. Have had a few FCs with rss apps but life is good. Straight outta the box, everything works as it should, very responsive, fast and smooth. Don't see a need to bother with flashing anything.

Kool beans OP, I got sick of my friend talking about his Captivate being the $h!t on CM7 and my Epic still having issues all the time. I looked at the Epic Touch but just found it hard to deal with the footprint and the fact that work gave me a Droid x2 (biggest POS ever!) to carry, my pockets are only so big.
I'm rocking the iPhone 4 (regular) and I'm satisfied, hope this will work out till the new LTE phones debut.
Thanx to all the DEVs and users that found how to fix the $h!t Samsung/Sprint where incapable of fixing, with out you this phone would have just been an Epic Fail.

The design intent was good, just fell short for me as finished product. I guess after spending 4 years with IPhones I wanted a phone that worked as intended and only root/mod if I wanted to, not because I had to.
somebody dropped the ball....
I'm sure you will all be thrilled to hear that I'm going to keep hanging around and lurking, if
cm/gb/ics ever roll out it may sway my opinion...

so they couldn't just read the many other useless threads like this one? Or you couldn't just post in off topic as was suggested earlier? No you need your own thread to say you aren't using the phone anymore even though there were more than likely thousands of customers to take your place today.

This forum was pretty bad before TheScottsman & Deca came and cleaned it up. Impaler was a great mod as well. Glad I stuck through the bad times and didn't jump ship to a newer phone though. It seems like quite a few of XDA's subforums are troll wastelands.
