I'm taking a dose of the only cure for flashoholism...

This phone is draining my time and killing my soul. Selling it before my wife chooses to sell me. There are more important things to focus on in my life. Already changed back to my faithful Env3. and busted out my 7MP point-and-shoot camera. Ah, the good 'ol days
PM me if you want to make an offer. Close to mint condition. A few minor scratches on the screen that happened before I applied the screen protector. Can't really even see them. Stock battery. Everything works great. Currently running MIUI, but of course you can flash what you like. I can throw in an 8GB card. Offers via PM only, please. I live near Houston, TX if that means anything to you.
I'll post to Ebay and transact it that way if it makes you feel better, but I'll have to take a slightly higher offer to cover their gouging commissions. As of now, it's not on Ebay.
You can see from my post count that I'm not new to XDA. This is legit.
Moderators, let me know if there's a more appropriate place to put this. I figured it was pretty 'general'.

dude thats bad you can't control yourself with that phone?lol instead of getting rid of it you should prob seek help.

lmao @jager. Its not unusual for someone to get obsessed with there phones, they are amazing and can do everything.
He doesnt need to seek help, he saw there was a problem and he fixed it, dont troll

LOL! Yea right.
Look...I am tempted nearly every minute of every day to check this website and get the latest thing. The surest way to get rid of the temptation is to get rid of the phone. I've already reclaimed a few hours of my life just in the past couple of days.
No takers yet. I guess I'll post to E-bay

I have a friend who might be interested. I'll check with him. What would be a general idea of what your looking out of it? (PM me if you don't want to post here please)

Also to the original poster, I used to have this issue as well. Finally settled on cyanogen. Now I just upgrade every night to the newest nightly.

What would YOU pay for ??

Hi forum.
I have a question for you.
But first to be 100% clear, i will pay when i have froyo on my phone, just as i have promished, this is NOT a "i will not pay"-thread in NO WAY, i just think we forget some dev´s work... Then on to the question:
As we now see that 2.2 rom´s are close, but without cracked bootloader, i would really like to know what you all think about that.
The reason is that we (many of us, and me included) have promised money for a working 2.2 rom, but what now about the people that is still working really hard on cracking the bootloader, should they not also get paied for that when they get it working ??
If not, i see no reason for them to continue, and i think they will stop the work, and that would really be a shame, as the cracked bootloader is the way to free our phone from S/E 100%.
AN OTHER THING:
The way that this payment is set up, would that not make progress a lot slower ??
What i think it this:
We say " i would pay for working froyo"....
But if all the dev´s would like to get the money, then when they make some kind of progress they are proberbly less likely to share that with other dev´s ??
I don´t know how we can set up a better dev-payment-system, but i think the way it works actually slow down progress instead of speeding things up...

To be quite honest i rather a cracked bootloader

+1 just buy them a beer or two for the time they already spent with this ***** called rachael. This'll motivate them to continue.
Btw. i don't think that they're all on that just because of the money, it's probably more for the success itself to crack one of the best locked down devices out there.

Help me buy one !!!!

I want to buy an advent vega but my mum keeps saying no !!! She's says I got a laptop a month ago and that I don't need it. Please can u give me points I can tell my mum to help me buy one ??? Thanks

If you have to ask you don't actually need one. Life isn't about getting everything you want!

Why dont you scream and scream and scream until you are sick, then she might buy you one.
Or sell some of the other stuff she has worked hard to provide for you and buy it yourself
Or find some work, save up and buy your mum something special

Show Angry Birds or Talking Tom Cat

Naaah.
I would say life is about getting as many unnecessary things as possible,
From which you exactly know that they're unnecessary,
But you buy them anyway.
And then after some time realizing that one actually needs very little to be happy,
while there were large parts of the world where the people didn't even have enough to eat.
In the meantime one is consuming and consuming,
throwing stuff away that ain't even broken, just because one can afford to.
To the OP:
Your mom is probably right.
I for example wanted an ipad really bad a while ago.
But after some consideration I realized that I absolutely DONT need it. Because I have a really up to date computer, a galaxy tab and an iPod touch.
Maybe you could try to make a list of what the Vega would bring you and on the other side if that is a function that you can't achieve otherwise.
If this list is not convincing, then you know you don't need it.

Would like to recruit new dev to atrix

Hey guys. I might be coming across a brand new Atrix, still in the box. I'll be getting it for around $650. Are there any devs that we should try to recruit from any other moto phones? I know we have some very talented devs already but they can't do everything themselves. They are busy people with lives. We need to just let them work. I just figured another dev would help take the pressure off of them a little bit. The only problem is, I can't afford the phone on my own. I would still need help from the community to purchase it. Any extra donations would would be split up between the current devs we have now. The only thing the phone doesn't have is a charger and the HDMI cable has been opened. Everything else is brand new.
What I would like to do is have everyone say who we should recruit and how much they would donate. I will talk to the particular dev and see if they are up for it. I don't want any donations actually sent unless we get enough to buy it and actually get a dev to accept. I'm asking for suggestions on the dev because this is my first android and I don't know the devs too well. Not to mention, everyone who donates should have a say.
Right now I have $50USD towards it.
If you think this is stupid, dumb or a waste of time please do not post. This is just something I thought might help our community. It is not meant to start any trolling or flaming. So please save the space and don't post.

Sorry. Didnt realize the price just went down. The charger is gone because he bought the phone and didnt use it because of the locked bootloader and he took the charger out to use it with another phone.

We should try to recruit "bigrush" from the Xoom community
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

The only problem I was thinking about with trying to get devs from the xoom is that it has an unlocked bootloader. That may mean they won't be able to do as much. Not 100% sure though.

Found this video...WOW.

Start watching around 5:00 or watch the whole thing for a really good laugh. These are the kind of videos and people that make me mad because they have no idea what they are talking about...anyways just watch on from 5:00, and you'll see what I mean! OMFG!

So he charges money to install free software lol nice. I wonder what he does if he bricks your atrix trying to unlock the boot loader lol.

Yeah, plus he give NO links, and NO credit to anyone. People can so easily do this themselves but this prick is trying to get you to pay for it. And the whole video from 9:00 on makes no sense at all and he's just making up stuff as he goes along. Either way, I really hope nobody is stupid enough to pay these guys...

Couldn't watch the whole thing..... my eyes started to water from anger and laughter.....

So there is a phone number. Plaster it everywhere you can. Call it several times each. Play dumb and keep him on the phone as long as you can to waste his time. Spam the website........if there's an email address sign it up for every adult daiper and knitting blog/subscription.......

Wait. He's providing a service that people COULD technically do on their own, but choose to pay the guy for? That sounds terrible! That's worse than taking a car to the mechanics!

Maybe we should start rooting phones and loading custom roms for money haha

That is a perfect analogy! Anyone COULD fix their car in under 20 minutes as long as they follow the short, easy to understand guide, they just choose to pay someone else to do it.

When the final CM7 is out with everything working (fp, weptop) I would rather pay $50-$100 to some XDA member in my area to unlock and install it if I don't have the time to do it, takes some reading, root, unlock, backup data, install.

For a technophobe, this would be a god send. It's actually not a bad idea. They buy phones, root them and sale them. I've rooted many of my friend's phone and all I get is beer and a pat on the back...it'd be cool to get paid to do this.

Rooting Service !
Long time browser, first time contributor.
Sounds to me like they are offering a service just like fixing a car or installing Linux. Not sure why that qualifies them as “scumbags”.
I'm not very technical, and like several others have mentioned, would gladly pay someone to root my phone.
I did call them about my rooting my Inspire a few months back, and they did offer replacement protection against bricking my unit. Also, if I mess-up my device in the future, I can always send it back to them for repair – no charge.
If everything on the xda-threads worked perfectly, I too wouldn’t mind rooting myself. But, I can see from several threads, some of which are over 1000 pages long, that things don’t always go right – I don’t have time for that (as much fun as it sounds).
Find me a member of ebay, craigslist or XDA-Developers who will do the same job for less, with the same guarantee, and I’d move my business to them – I have yet to find anybody.

Everyone is good at something.
Not everyone is good at everything.
I wish I thought about this stuff before those guys did.
