TC,
Why are you trying to sell your (broken/faulty/stolen/illegal) products here?
Good day.

in the picture you can clearly see it's not broken especially in the second one where the device is actually on... That was a very ignorent and prejudice post... if you're not interested... then ignore the post and go away....
Never make assumptions
because you will be an ass and the umm... will shun you!

TC,
It's nothing personal or prejudiced. It's called common sense. Something is clearly wrong with the phone. And it's also because of common sense (in other people) that you still have 2 remaining, as opposed to having already sold them all in your initial advertisement in which you were told specifically not to post more than one advert.
So I maintain my position, something is wrong with the phones and you're trying to minimize your loss by selling them off cheap.
Good day.

ok.. nothing personal
well yeah... so i posted something a couple days ago and sold one already? ok
and im sure the mod meant one advert that day... obviously posting so many in one i can udnerstand would be a problem... but if i come back a couple days later to repost shouldnt be wrong.... should it? especially if the other post is forgotten by my standards
also... im unsure on what you mean by cheap? how much do you want to pay for it? the reason i have so many are due to impulse for good prices... ive seen them go on ebay for a lil over 600 brand new... mines are used so i think im giving a competitive price

ebf_flores,
Alright, I'm curious then. Why exactly do you have 3 X1i-s to begin with, and why sell them off now? And what are their production weeks?
Cheers.

bought one when they were first released in America for about 800
last month saw a deal to get one for a lil less than 600 hundred and had to get it dont know why cause of the price (sold my ipod touch and sony mylo to get some money for it)
then a friend of mine saw them and decided he want one so i got one for him but then the time the thing got here he decides he cant afford so i stuck with it
now if i tell the reason im for certain you will use it against me... right?
the last two I have say 08W46 on the back under the battery... the one i sold was 08W44

ebf_flores,
Like I said, it's nothing personal. Now that you've explained more on how you came to own so many X1is, I take back my initial post and apologize if I came out as rude and offensive.
Good luck trying to sell them then, it's unfortunate that you have those production weeks. Whatever the reason you are trying to sell them for, I know it won't be as good as it can be, so if you'd rather not share it, that's fine.
Cheers.

understood... although it was a bid rude in my opinion but i guess i misunderstood your point of view
well there's no cracks on them by the stylus or on the battery so i dont think i got any of the bad ones... i can take pics if anyone wants to see em
well... my reason is i crashed my car (Audi A4) and semi totaled it.... i got another one (salvage... missing transmission) bought from New York and while i was able to afford the car itself... shippin from new york to my location is about a grand and something so i need to let these go to recover the cost

!SOB! Just lost my HD2, advice 4 new cell.

Ok so here is the thing I just lost my HD2 and its gone for good. Now which device should I buy? Name me few.
BTW should I have the IMEI blacklisted? I know some prick found it and won't give it back, even left msg and sms saying ill pay more than the phone worth as I have Biz phone numbers. Also had this phone months b4 it came out in USA

Samsung Galaxy S or Nexus S.

YES !! Get it blacklisted why give someone else the pleasure of the device? Especially someone who has had to essentially steal it to own one.

Eh...
get another hd2? I did.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

If you were running android on a daily basis, just get a desire hd! Way faster and better touch screen is enough.
If you wanna stick to winmo I guess another HD2 is the only option for you.

I admit the Desire HD is a bloody good device and a friend of mine has one but i wouldn't claim it was that much faster and the screens are not all that different. The desire does feel alittle bit better in the hand though in my opinion.

Yeap, desire HD and moto droid x (cdma though) for android
HD2 for winmo
don't go for the Samsung I9000, it'll get really frustrating trying to find a decent lagfix which you'll have to "root" the phone b4 and it's battery is worse than HD2 running android off of sdcard (mainly due to the s-amoled screen)(oh, and it feels like holding a toy phone which is great for weight and shock resistance but not thtat great if ou like to feel your device, like me!!)
As for the Desire HD I think it doesn't have a scratch-proof screen like the HD2 (which is not that... you know... good for you)

Yeah it's not like getting into heaven, but the HTC Sense is as fast as launcher pro, which is fast.
What I meant with the screen wasn't the screen quality, but the touch.
The HD2 is very bad att multitouch even with two fingers (!!!, and this is the reason I changed my HD2 to desire HD), while the desire HD can handle two without problems, even three and to some extent, four fingers (pretty much how HD2 handles two fingers, which it does very badly).
But the screen itself is just LCD, no real difference there.

Well believe it or not I had Desire HD in mind but ATM as they have Desire Z, which would be better? Is Desire HD even 4G (HSPA+) capable? or is only in G2. I also had my eye on Droid X but as it being CMDA I didn't want it but the spec is +1 on HD2 on Desire HD, or should I just swtich boat to Sprint and get the Evo 4G. Help me deside guys :O Help me decide guys :O as I am basically handicapped without my phone. Who would have thought how dependent we became on it. I know I can always count on support on XDA members.

R.I.P. HD2, the ****er who got this is super happy ATM as I tweaked this HD2 to the max.
Update:
-------
So WTF is the point of getting Desire HD in USA when you can't even get 3G as its dualband, more phone guys Desire HD is out as it did look better than HD2.

You should have installed some security so that you could remotely backup/wipe/disable the phone.
You could have also set it to automatically wipe/disable phone upon changing sim card, its very unlikely that somebody bad enough to steal your phone will have enough knowledge to hard reset, plus you could get IMEI blacklisted as you say.
You could have even tracked teh phone via GPS
PS. Sorry to rub it in

Ya I know the thing is I just flashed my rom 2days ago and most thing is not installed. ATM I don't care about the phone as I can buy it but I have few numbers which is lost which is very important and I didn't have time to back it up. But the data on the phone itself is backed up 3x.
Within 2hours we called the phone like over 200+ times from 8-9 numbers along with text messages. So the prick who did find it later shut it off and swap the sim, I hope karma gets that mofo and someone break his ****ing legs lol or get run over by a bus. I even offer to pay for the phone and for them to get here and even give extra. But the prick chose to get his early XMas gift.
I was watching my text message and recent calls waiting for the mofo to call or send msg to somewhere so I get the number and contact it, but the prick must have fall asleep as it happend like after 2am. BTW I am aware of the GPS tracking, huh made no sense when I always had it on I didn't lose it lol when I lost it I didn't have it installed.
ATM yall help me get a new device, money is no issue as I am welling to pay $750-800 for phone which has to be revolutionary, as for HD2 I got it months before it came out in USA. So don't worry if the phone is not in market yet I have connections and my ways of getting it
Desire HD < no 3G in USA
Nexus S < screen to small, wtf 5mp cam? 15gb storage?
All the TMoUSA lineup for the current top device has very useless spec's and the phone looks fruity. ATM I don't want to pay money for HD2 as I can buy better phone with better spec. But man ill miss HD2, this phone changed my outlook.

Oh dude thats a sorry tale. Could cry for you.
Oh yeah I'd want to track the phone so I could have one of them "discussions" with the MF thats got it.
I think you're double unlucky - I honestly think most people these days try to return phones. My wifes a liability and lost hers twice for very nice local folk to ring up the last number in the history. Everyones got a phone that wants one - you've got to be picking peanuts out of poo for a living if a phone you've found has any value to you. Console yourself with what a peasant the twat involved must be.
Saddest thing is that 16 months on from launch there's nothing better out there since the HD2 runs it all. Aside from a certain very new OS that you wouldn't want to migrate to yet. But that it will soon probably.
You just can't beat the versatility of the HD2 - probably never be another phone like it.
RIP your phone and hopefully the MF too.

if i was you ! i would effin try my best to catch d prick n get the phone back......cos i have done it in d past...too....

Believe it or not I have actually returned an Evo 4-5months and HD2 just 2months ago. Also tons of cheap phones so idk wtf karma is punishing me for. This is what happened me and my girl was at the bar we were little drunk so we took taxi and when I paid the guy thats when I left it on the seat. Soon as I got out of it I realized I left it and I waved my hands but he didn't see it, now I could have ran but my girl was other side of the street and the ****ing bus came, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan and then I had to make a choice lol so I ran to my GF. This is bunch of bull crap so within 1min she called the taxi operator and the dude from Lost/Found send message to the cab driver by then he reported he picked someone else which is near HardRock casino and when he checked it nothing was in it. So I guess some ****er lost money and saw that sign from god lol.
Ya I also agree with you that HD2 is by far superior in the lineup even today and 6.5.X you can't even beat with my tweaks. The ****er will show it to his friends and kids would be like "OMG" why don't my HD2 act this way. The stupid ****er will see it as GOD wanted to have this phone lol. This is all BS now I am at my recent call logs writing down phone numbers for incoming/outgoing.

On this occasion its a sad indictment of human nature - very often like we've said its a refresher that most people are actually honest.
Don't lose the faith over it buddy.
I agree 100% too that WM6.5 with mods dumps all over Android - you're talking proper sense. It won't even landscape properly in the car for gods sake.

well if is the police same as in europe tell them taht you lost your phone and the guy who found dont want to give it back then they ask for your IMEI and they will track down the phone and push him to give it back to you....thats how it works in Europe.... you can try it i think they will find it

Ahh i feel for you bro, I was so angry when I lost my HD2 at work, luckily a mate found it. Somehow it had fallen into my sainsburys bag which had rubbish in it, which i then threw in the bin lol. when i got the phone back it had coke in it. Still works like a charm.
Off Topic: I happened to drop my phone in the bath (Yep fully submerged, with soap) touch screen didnt work for FOUR months, then one day I turned it on because of a mate and VOILA, phones works as normal and the speaker is LOUDER lmao. This phone must have 9 lives in it.

Well the GSM carrier in USA don't blacklist IMEI but they can still see it when call is made as its registered. ATM I am shopping for new phone and Desire HD has no 3G, wonder if it does HSPA+ which I doubt. Don't want to go with Evo 4G as I don't like CDMA based and has to go with GSM based phones. Most new phones I see has ****ty spec's.
What about Dell Streak 2?

Try the police as i told you they will track down the phone and push the guy to give it back to you...

Dude I know you are trying to help but I am in USA and in here they don't care. I mean what I don't understand is this phone is 1 year old and since then I still don't see one decent phone.
HTC Desire HD < EU based.
HTC HD7 < Good luck with that ill pick HD2 over it any day.
Nexus S < Are you kidding me what type of crap spec is that?
Driod X < New carrier and CDMA
Evo G4 < New carrier and CDMA
HD2 < Don't want it again
Vibrant < Will pick HD2 over it any day
GSM is lacking phones ATM even 1 year after WTF.

I'm about to rage on Best Buy for Zagg install

So I went to best buy a few hours ago to get a screen protector for my newly replace Evo. Sadly there was not much of a selection so I went with the Zagg invisible shield one. As I as about to go to the front to pay the mobile person said that he could install it for me if I wanted for $7. I said ok why not I hate installing screen protectors anyway. So he got it on and it was crooked so I told him that it's no good. He tried again and used more solution spray. I got a little worried about the amount he was using and told him maybe that's a little too much spray. He said don't worry it will be ok. Well flash forward to now, I just turned on my Evo and guess what? Solution leaked under the screen!!! I'm about to flip!

Oh no ****ed that guy talk **** to him that you want a brand new evo and to the manager

Yea, I just wish tomorrow would come already so I can head down there. I am angry beyond belief. This phone is 2 days old rooted and all my apps, now I have to flash it back to stock and head down there at the crack of dawn to have them most likely give me a hard time about this.

You are about to have a hard time with them... they are complete dumb asses at bb.. they are gonna try to play lost with you, just ask for the manager as soon as you walk in. He/ she will play dumb too, then ask for the district manager, then they will get you a little white box out the cabinet, say hello to your new evo!
From past experience with same issue!

LOL, why did you walk out of the store without checking first. Huge mistake on your part. If there was an error, it should have been fixed right then and there no problems.
I dont know if there is any garentee to protect you. But good luck, hope the fix it or at least get a refund.

This could get interesting make a huge scene then walk with a new evo

I took a quick look at it after he was done with it and everything looked fine. I am guessing the solution made it under the screen with time.

Get back in there and explain that ****. And MAKE SURE they don't send you out. WIthout being physical and overly abusive - verbally I mean.

Cheesy is CHEESY!
Honestly, sometimes it takes a push ... a verbal push, if you will. You know how many people probably have other people put screen protectors on - for whatever reason - and they just suck? And they just walk out with em?
Just being real.
There are people that won't stand for horse **** ... and there are others that will. It's not about "appearing" tough here or there ... it's like getting anything applied / installed and it not being right but "dealing with it." Shouldn't even have to ask. ****ing say something. LOL
Internet tough guy aside ... and you clearly jumped the gun.
Thanks though, I've seen you post before.\
edit: on that note; do you do anything but post bull**** and / or ask questions?
Honest question.
Because, honestly, I see nothing but - and in this case, nothing but a half decades old picture and bull****-run-of-the-mill-every-other-god-damn-forum-thread-post picture. And dude, you really did use that prematurely ... the bandwagon you're jumping on - this "internet tough guy" **** that has been going on for a while - AROUND HERE AT LEAST, is starting to get out of hand. In the way that people are starting to "diagnose" too much as such. It's a Forum. You clearly don't show up looking to impress the English Majors. Most folks are not worried about spelling errors and "complete sentences." Most, read; the majority - and even the people you admire and adore - couldn't care less about that ****.
So you post your cute pictures.
I hope you like mine.
Please, in the future, if you are going to TRY and be demonstrative ... don't post bull**** before the fact. Or at least as often as you do ... because, well, just ..... no.

If you couldn't install one of those by yourself kinda your fault bro... nit a hard process. I had one for months. It got mucked up underneath took it off been without it. No scratches. I'm on a dinc but same idea. It isn't needed

True.
But, to be fair ... those "liquid" applicators can throw a first timer for a loop ... or whatever.
It can be daunting because you don't know how much / little to use. And I've seen people go overkill with that ish.
That being said ... yes, do it yourself. That's the best way. I mean, these assholes' as BB know little more - if anything - than you do. At least when it comes to their "mobile department."
With that being said about that being said ... should you be so worried, I've heard of others having them do it and when / if they **** up then they are obligated to grab a new one and begin again. If I saw dude doing the same one over and over I'd say something ... can never be embarrassed to question someone who should know what they're doing.
It was like a kid, asking someone to cut out a cut in their griptape ... once I started to work a shop ... **** that, I nailed it or if dude asked for something stupid I said do it themselves. Always worked. I mean, your average consumer can only be so competent.

Make sure the solution isn't just under the protector and will evaporate in a day or so, I've heard that in the past referring to these type of accessories.

i would try using ghost armor. its the best screen protector out there. i had my whole evo done in ghost armor. they use the same material on helicoptor blades to keep it from chipping from flying debre. and you get a lifetime replacement as long as you have your phone. google it for a store near you

Same thing
Happened to me, left a visible shadow like mark on my screen for over a month, out did eventually go away completely,
I also left fingerprints on it so I went to the mall and a zagg booth replaced and installed for only 5 bucks
Zagg makes a good product for protection, it does however seem to yellow after time, of course that could be the oil in. my hands doing that.
Also the feel of it isn't as smooth, it kinda interferes if your a swyper like me.
In closing I will say my phone doesn't have evan a blemish on it, looks as good as it does second week of launch.
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......

Anyone else noticed

Exactly. At some point I just stopped talking to them at all, it's completely pointless. Same with computer shop staff and car dealers. An evening with google is way more productive before a decision on something important/expensive.

Yeah before I got my note I was ringing up every phone shop asking them if they knew when the Galaxy Note would be in stock.
I would then receive the reply "Don't you mean the Galaxy Nexus?"
No I mean the Galaxy Note.
"Hmm I don't think we do that phone I'm afraid."
Yes you do.
"Okay, well let me check the system.....*after a while* Oh yes we do sell that phone but we have no release date yet I'm afraid."
Then when I did buy my phone the guy instore was amazed with the phone..never heard of it and couldn't believe the size of the screen...Why do they work in these places!?

Not that I don't agree but its interesting to know how did you come up with that %number.

When the Note was released, I wanted to see it before purchasing it to get some idea on the size. In the UK we have the CPW (carphonewarehouse), anyway I made the mistake of visiting their local store...
Me: Hi mate, do you have the Galaxy Note in stock?
Him: The what?
Me: The Galaxy Note.
Him: Whats that?
Me: A phone.
Him: We don't sell that phone.
Me: Are you sure? Will any other CPW have it in stock?
Him: Are you sure it's called the Galaxy Note?
Me: 100%
Him: One sec I will check our system. *checks* Nope we do not offer that phone at all at any of our branches in the UK.
Me: Even though it is on your website?
Him: Erm...
Me: BYE.
Absolutely utter tools some of them.

It may be worse here in the USA but I have listened in when my wife has called and they really are complete morons sometimes. Just today I went into an att store and the sales person swore up and down my note would not work on their network, and they had no idea what the damn thing was. Oh and I had to inform the person it was coming to att soon which they were shocked.

During the time i lived in the US, i worked for T-Mobile in customer care. Due to my experience with Windows Mobile devices i had much more knowledge than anyone in the technical care team. But get this, on winmo devices you could only have 1 hotmail email synced on the device and in our system which held info on the touch pro 2 and the hd2 there was listed a "known issue" of only being able to have one hotmail account on the device. The listed remedy? A matter reset! No one at tmo, who write this stuff had even worked out you could sign out and sign back in with another account. Total chimps the lot of them.

Not to sound like a douche but come on guys.
Most of the people working at places like CPW, Bestbuy or whatever are there simply to sell stuff that they have. Those stores have hundreds if not thousands of different products and it is literally impossible for any salesperson in those places to know every single product they sell inside out or even all the product names.
Even companies like AT&T that sell mostly phones and broadband stuff have tens/hundreds of items. Being a tool at the salespeople in these places is just that, being a tool.
And just in case some of you didn't know this yet, for a salesperson the most important thing is to know the few best products and how to promote them best. Even though I love my Note, I'm quite sure it isn't the leading pulling factor for electronic & phone stores.
However I do agree that in after sale -services such as helpedesk or troubleshooting they should have people who actually know what they are talking about.

In Ukraine every single clerk knew about SGN, its delivery dates and other tech specs
Perhaps it is because of huge advertising campaign by Samsung about this phone.

Why restrict it to phone company employees?

When the SG2 was released in the USA, I went to take a look at one, just to see if it looked small compared to my Dell Streak (I have the note now). Walked into Best Buy...had no clue. Went to an at&t store, they had one on display (functioning). Sales drone came up to me and asked if I was looking to buy that phone, told her no, I had a 5" screen, whipped out my streak. She said "oh, that runs android doesn't it?" Yes it does. "well, I only try to sell iPhones because they are better than android". I just laughed and walked out the door.
Hey, if you like your locked down tiny screen, you really can't do what you want to YOUR phone because Apple says so...be my guest. Not me.

Thanks for this thread
For a long time I thought that this is only in germany the case the nobody knows what he/she is telling about stuff what they are selling
It is really terrible, because in most cases you are paying for it, for the good advice
I am happy now, I now know that this is a global problem, so still use google and then buy in www is for me still the best way

Thank you. I have to wonder how many of the people in this thread have actually worked retail. It's a crap job, it doesn't pay much, and in most places there isn't much time to really learn deeply about the products you're selling. They're probably not geeks, because if they were they'd probably working somewhere else most of the time. I'm not expecting someone who gets a low hourly wage to invest their off time in learning the products they sell, and most of them probably don't make enough money to buy a lot of the stuff. Even if they wanted to, your typical cell phone store is selling hundreds or thousands of phones or accessories, and the stock is always changing.
Look people, it's a job, hardly anyone does it for fun. They have a basic level of knowledge because 95% of their customers have even less knowledge, so they do fine. These people put in their hours and get a paycheck, because they have bills to pay, mouths to feed, just like you or me. Treat them with a little respect, okay? They're people!
If you want to blame someone, blame the company that doesn't provide enough training, because it costs too much, then blame yourself for not being willing to pay significantly more for your toys in order to fund the training the employees need to meet your standards.

Blame the company. 3rd party sales do not train for crap. This is from personal experince. Sales numbers are all that matters. Hell I've worked retail whwre my manager disnt know how to uninstall a program from android. I also worked for tier 2 tech support for Sprint (3rd party), I found it sad we were hiring tech support people that didnt even know how to unistall a pc program (seriously 2 people they hired didnt even know what control panel was!)
What seems to happen is these companies get 1 or 2 tech savvy people amd lay it all on them

Tell him to put it in a bag of rice for a few weeks without the cover or battery on

Ok this isnt the best way to do it, first thomassfca needs to find out how much it costs to fix his phone, then we need to translate that to either GBP or USD, then start a donation thread for the amount, once the right amount has been pledged, you can ask people to donate the money. I will pledge 10GBP or 15USD now

sorry i am at college coulnt set up a proper thread with the donation amount etc. suppose to be doing work seen the post about his phone thought i would do this. if tom can tell me how much and what currency etc i will update OP
p.s. he did say this though - Would cost me like 180-200 euro to get it fixed according to the guy in the store..

also just updated the link in OP to a fixed link.

Wow, didn't expect this guys! Thanks so much!
I was told it would cost me atleast 180 euro.
This equals 236 USD or 150 GBP.
Wil try the rice thing too, but doubt it will help, as the phone is a slider..

Not to give anyones' hopes up,but maybe you don't need 180 for it? It's common in my country that phone shops tell you lies and just take money/parts and get huge profit... Now this is just a wild guess,but if only half of the screen (50%) is damaged that maybe the wires are damaged? I mean if water got into the touchscreen part it should completely break the screen and I think this is why:
If there is water/damage in any part of the screen, then it should cause the screen to think there are 1000 of inputs being performed,and since our screens wont register more than 6-8 inputs at one time it wont allow any input on the top half? Maybe the input is not being properly transfered to the other part of the phone?
But then again...

Not sure if they do that too here.. I've been to a major phone company. (The Phonehouse) Prefer going there instead of going to some ****ty local phone store xD

why don't you go to Sony ericsson service center.. .i bet your warranty isn't over yet coz this phone comes with 1 year warranty and it hasnt been a year since its launch. i had same issue of rain water and SE guys replaced the motherboard and display for free.

Sony ericsson service center sais: Don't buy a SE anymore the service is bad!
Don't go to a service point they lost my phone also so it can take 3 more weeks to get my phone back

You can get a brand new Xperia play in the uk for 150GBP and thats from a highstreet shop. could prob get one from the net cheaper. But good cause like the work you have done.

Hmm really.. Could consider that too if enough people would donate some money! Will see

Good luck with that
While the intent to be helpful is there, actions speak louder than words and these forums are pretty silent.
My advice to you would be to seek means to repair your play on your own.
I believe at least 2 plays were donated out so far, 1 was either sold or stolen and the other did more for development of the play when he didnt have one.
Mad props to both gents though, no disrepect, just keeping it real.

If the repairs cost actually 150 quid, and a new phone sets you back the same, you're much better off telling people to donate for a new phone.

I can donate 20$ if you can organize more to contribute.

Yeah although I started this thread I can't aftually donate . Barely enough money to Live.
