Sorry to see you (temporarily) depart. I'm sure it won't be too bad on the Droid X.

The price was right. 90 bucks for a decent dx desk dock and windshield mount.

My sister has one. It's actually pretty nice after you root it. Good thing for you, rooting is super easy on that phone (1-click method).
If you stay stock then you will hate the phone, motoblur really is awful on that phone.

The Ultimate Drop TEST!!!

So i just bought the note 2 a few weeks ago and desided to give me brand new never scratched mind condition S3 to my girlfriend.In 5 days she dropped it between the elevetor crack and fell down 9 floors !!!
When we finally found the phone (thanks to the elevetor guy) i checked the phone several times in detail and found that the only thing that was broken was the glass in front of the screen the screen worked perfectly (i could still use the phone btw touch worked) .
Samsung i love you..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ae1cwm6z6ugx4j/20121024_153106.jpg heres a pic of the phone (cant upload to xda for some reason..)

So she dropped her phone through the 1inch gap between the floor and the elevator....really??

Cool, a Skrillex test: one hell of a drop! :silly:
(Apologies to XKCD)

I dropped mine to a hard ground from normal standing height and I thought it was bad enough until I saw yours.
Anyway mine just got some unnoticeable scratch and works perfectly.
That kind of robustness could only be found in older Nokia phones. :good:

We wannt see pics.... We want pics.....with the elevator crack and the screen !!!

Hmmmm sorry I don't seem to believe your story, I smell troll

Impossible. The Elevator crack is too small..and i dont think that the phone drops exactly into it -.-

Such pessimists, I've seen old school elevators where there are couple inch gaps and you can see all the way down. I believe the guy, and if it's fake, with a mind like that, he should be writing literature

I think I believe him!
Well, kudos to Samsung, I suppose. The only weak spot on our phone is made my Corning. (>_>)

I love Samsung and I believe S3 is pretty resistant. Depends on how is dropped. But she should had very bad luck and dropped the phone on the bezel in order to fit that space between elevator... that's why I want to see the elevator.

dropped mine on the treadmill @ 10km/h...shot out pretty quick...thank God for screen protectors lol...

Dropped mine from a pub roof, survived with minor chips off the corner,
As for the elevator, did your phone grow wings on the way down and did you or the other half take any funny looking tablets before this all happened?
I think u have had way too little sleep

9 floors? really? is someone willing to perform a Myth Buster? i surely wont because due to physics, there would be more damaged..unless it had on an iron man suit.
my friend dropped his while walking and the phone bounced and flipped many times, the battery cover popped off and the bezel was effed. messed up part about it, it happened right after he purchased it from the phone store.

There is often a lot of crap at the bottom so it would have had a softer landing than say outside where rubbish has not accumulated.

I still smell bull****, but the troll is getting what he wants and that's replies lol

A Hummingbird

I was sitting on my porch, letting my dog walk on the yard when a hummingbird flew to our little feeder beside me. It scared me cause its wings are so loud, but when I noticed what it was, it immediately made me think of this special place. Little old Epic and its Hummingbird cpu. I don't frequent XDA anymore, but I miss the fun that we used to have right here.
I would've posted in the dedicated off topic thread, but I have the last post in there, didn't want to double post :/

Most definitely. But I don't tinker with it so much, much like my early days on XDA if anyone remembers that whole fiasco.
Its Stock MD4 4.1.2, rooted for adfree sake, and that's it.

Sold my Xperia Mini Pro yesterday, even though it was once #1 on my 2nd-hand item wishlist...
Epic is now an awkward device in my hand particularly because it's such a nice phone for cell calls and texting yet it's not a global phone (and I'm on China Mobile, GSM)... But being the 1st capable Android phone I've acquired, especially given how my bought-and-sold HTC Dream and Moto Milestone performed, Epic is always to stay beside my pillow for bedtime TWRP fun! Sure hope that would be how most E4Gs end their life...
And as of now, to be off-topic, T-Mo's Relay 4G is Epic's proper GSM sequel (current wishlist #1). While on Sprint there's only the Photon Q, and Verizon the age-old Droid 4. Again, so lucky of us to have one of the first (after HTC Dream, of course) 5-row QWERTY Android phone!

I got a couple of small scratches on my screen from the metal logo from the back. Not sure how common this is, but let this be a warning for those without case.

yeah it lived, its the first to go beyond what everyone was saying, brought the passion to a whole new level of fun. It was and still is great.
He maybe someone who needs a motherboard can use it, you can always sell that.
The Note3 is very nice, a powerhouse, awesome. I want it but I will likely go for the Oppo N1. If I can afford either lol

Phone fell 3 and half floors onto solid concrete

Its almost completely fine, there is a tiny scuff on one corner (amazingly) anyway I was just asking in case there's anything I should worry about. The phone appears to be OK and has been used since then and is typing this, but I'm worried about any damage happening inside the phone or any damage to the battery. Will my phone be OK? Thanks

It's pure luck that your phone survived such fall. I think you should bring it to store and check.

Any local store that has the expertise.
I live in a country with lots of local store that can fix, replace broken phones so that might not apply to your case sadly

The ringke fusion case. I have no idea how it managed to save the phone as it isn't particularly big or bulky, but it did .

To save it from scuffs just get a case for it.

Reminds me of the time I was out on my mountain biking and got cold hands so pulled my gloves out , at the same time my phone also came out.
Hit the concrete did at least 30 flips and slid across the floor 10 to 20 feet.
I walked over to it expecting the worst. There wasn't a single scratch on it . The case had stood up proudly.( cheap one )
Then I read on this forum that folks have smashed the back glass just by putting it in there jeans pocket.
Seems like some devices maybe have a better build quality then others.
We must be the lucky ones.
Also from the U.K maybe they ship better phones here . Ha ha
