I have a 8525 and I need some help.
two things, I'd like to get WM6 and keep all the stuff I have put on it. second, I have no clue how to set the WiFi.
Now here is my question;
would anyone in Brooklyn, NY care to help me out and do this for me? I'll bring the beer! Just one catch... I don't have a computer.
I hate to make this my first post, but kinda had to.
pretty please with a cherry on top!
Read HERE. It will help you alot.
Also MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!!!
You're welcome in Holland........
i've done so much reading...
but to be honest, I need someone to show me in person so I can understand.
But thanks for the links, I have already used the search.
my offer for beer still stands for help, I'm willing to meet up within NYC.
I get it... does anyone want money to help me instead of beer?
or is it a trust issue because of I'm new guy here?
I'm sure if you were a blond with a couple of nice boobs you had 20 offers already. But hey sometimes things aren't always as we want it

Wait a minute - no one mentioned boobs before. I'll fly in from Michigan if you need help... oh wait... damn. Misread that. Oh well.
Actually, you may want to PM austnsync - I think he is an NY guy. He may be available or know someone.
You guys crack me up!
sorry but yes i'm a man, although i'm blonde with a shaved/bald head I don't go that way. If you want some boobies I'll gladly put some pictures up
hopefully there will be someone will see this cry for help and offer some.
As for credentials, check out itrca.com's forums. I'm a mod and member there for a long time.
So beer and money is not attractive enough and I can't find any hood rats for you... What will it take to get some help?
(watched ''40 year old virgin'' last night)
You want someone to go to your house and set your phone up with WM6 and whatever else you may want? What if after they have left, you run into some huge problem? Are you then going to ask for someone else to come help fix it? I don't mean to sound like an ass but the stuff you want done is really easy. If not having a computer is a problem, then surely you must have at least one good friend with a computer who will let you set your phone up. If so, here are 3 links that should help a lot.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
^ This link is a "how to" install WM6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
^ There are newer and better roms in this link here.
Last but certainly not least.. the holy grail of information about anything you could ever want to do to your phone is here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Basically Yes,
I just got myself a new laptop and now I deffinately need help.
I'd be willing to meet up with anyone who knows how to upgrade my 8525 and get the sync working.
I'm not going to hold anyone responsible for messing up as long as it was unintentional
What I'm looking for is some instructional help, show me what to do and walk away.
I really suck at computer stuff, Really suck!
I have looked through those links and to be honest, it's like a different language
Beer, Coffee, money, whatever is needed to get me some honest help.
Or should I just go to GeekSquad and let them have a shot at this?
So not one person needs some extras cash?
hi folks, i recently found this application 'Point UI'. You may find some other threads for this, as well. It provides kindda iPhone interface to windows mobile. I ain't crazy for Apple iPhone user interface and themes, but i am sure, there are some people who would definitely appreciate a change.
This software, i have tried on WM5/WM6, works perfectly on them. People usin' WM2/WM3, can try at their own risk and lemme know the compatibility. It is not exactly iPhone interface, but the basic Slide and Touch Navigation works perfectly fine without any hassles. On top of that, people like me, usin' windows mobile with the same good old interface would surely enjoy this change.
And sorry, for not being able to post this application here. Some account related issue, is there. That's why i am posting it on rapidshare. You can PM me, if you face any difficulty in downloadin' i'll e-mail it to you.
Adieu..

@rohit: Its old news..there are numerous threads out here discussing this!
Congratulations you're an idiot.
Been hiding under a rock much? We've known about this since it launched on new yaers day. Besides, why would anyone download your CAB, which could contain anything at all; when they can get the official client from www.pointui.com?
I fail to see how being mean to this guy is going to solve anything fellas. Not EVERYONE is a freakin' geek like us. Give him a break.
Err....what kind of 'break' should we give him (kidding...). This post earns a thread lock....

Did you know they're coming out with a phone that can play .mp3 files?
I've heard they're working on one with a camera on the back.

o and you know what apple anounced?
a phone!
yes, not only a phone, its an ipod too!
if thats not enough wait until you hear this:
it has an internetbrowser BUILT IN!!
unbelievable!
and yu know what they call it?
i was so impressed by the quality of the name! it is so obvious! why having names like htc touch or htc wizard, there is no way telling a htc wizard is a phone:s, well you know what apple did? well its...it is:
IPHONE
everyone should take an example of apple!
haha lol
stop making fun of him..MODS please delete this post..being senior members i didnt expect this from u guyz
It is NOT an IPhone interface as well.
duuh thats why pointui is so revolutionary, becuz i didnt wanted to make an iphone look a like hehe
I agree, give him a break guys...he is just trying to be informative
Credit to those who share good news....even when its old.
All you piss takers are arseholes! Like another member said, we don't all live and breathe PPC tech. I'm glad he brought it to more peoples attention. Good job mate.

I think you could stay more polite here! Do you want to go through 500+ pages to find a post when you are looking for it then go on supporting double posting! In my opinion this is kind of double posting beacuse everywhere in this forum posts concerning PointUI are popping up and on each page you'll find the string 'PointUI' at least one time!
Yes, not all of us breathe PPC Tech, but like I said everyone will notice that this app is already known when entering this forum.
Have a nice day, vi
Differences of opinions.

I thought I'd put your statement to the test! On entering this forum, there is only this thread which mentions PointUI, therefore unless one is used to the ways of how forums work and this one in particular, only a search would have revealed what you are saying.
Sometimes people come across things in different places and believing they have found something amazing, they just rush over to xda devs to share the good news.
More experienced ones are more inclined to do an internal search first.
Whilst I agree that you are right about being more polite here...apologies to anyone offended, you might take some time out to remember what it's like to be a newbie at something or less experienced than someone else.
Someone makes an innocent mistake by 'who's standards?' but it is very helpful to others who happen to be browsing.
Anyway nuff said. I'll keep quite for now, but if anyone ever flames me like that, I'm sure to speak up.
Have a nice day.

Yo mate, well, it must be an old news for you and some of the reviewers. But it's one of the NUMEROUS downloaders, who did it.

I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.

I can only please one person per day. Today isn't your day and tomorrow don't look good either..
Was wondering if anyone has given this a shot, and if it'll even work on our device? Pretty sure I'll have to bite the bullet to find out, but please chime in if you have any input whatsoever. https://www.squareup.com/ - site
Thanks

Why not give it a try and let us know....
Also i hope you're not trying to spam or sell the product on here.
Haha not at all... I have a photography business and make a lot of transactions from the road, and now that we can run android, I just got a little excited.

i would suggest contacting the company if you're interested, maybe they'll know if it requires specific hardware.. won't know till you try also. maybe they can send you a demo of they're software.
I love my Hero but I've been wondering what new phones, official and rumored, are on the horizon. October a year will be up so something by the end of the year would be great.
Oh, touchscreen keyboard is my preference but since others might like to know what Android phones are heading to Sprint with a physical keyboard feel free to post either.

Not only is that not helpful because I'm looking for feedback from people who may have more insight from better sources instead of most the crap that's out there, but you didn't even bother to specify 'android' in your smartass reply.
Again, if anyone has heard any real potential android phones coming to Sprint please drop some info and/or sources.

not really, lmgtfy gets posted all the time its lost its humor.
It seems like this question gets asked here at least once every couple of weeks. Here's one from just last week: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=762198
The bottom line answer is always something like this:
Checking tech sites/blogs like Engadget, Wired, CNet, etc., as well as the official Sprint web site, is probably going to have just as much info and/or rumors as we would here. People who are "in the know" about what might be coming out soon are probably under non-disclosure agreements and can't even answer this question.
hmm..i was on the samsung page to check about problems people posted. And someone from our forum has decided to post on the site and say they are starting a petition to start a class action lawsuit. for those interested, comment on it, heres a link

MEGA BUMP

Samsung has just told their 1888 number to let the orginal poster send in the phone that didnt have proof of purchase (receipt) from Bell to be sent in. So for all who are wanting some sort of help or guidance. PLEASE reply back to that wall post. Make your voice heard.
edit** never mind, samsung is just talking bs.
maybe the gps doesn't work on some....
Samsung hoping that those owners won't be able to find them.
Ooops, sorry for being off topic.
It would be great to see this in Europe and force Samsung to enable the 3 button key, but I doubt it. Over here people are citizens only in name, and thus the EU knows better, and Samsung EU (Netherlands) say that it was disabled for the good of the user.
Samsung said;
"Our share in the Canadian market aint that overwhelming, we're planning to stop distributing on all Samsung products there."
hehe kidding, but it would be something to laugh about...

Samsung Germany doesn't even have a (Facebook|Twitter|whatever) account so you can only reach them by phone. It's a shame, that's all.
Any word samsung actually helping out?

i haven't heard any
This will not fly...... most people have working phones its just a few that have issues and end up complaining.. and they end up here looking to solve the issue.. where as most the public will not even log on to the xda forums..
Also I have a buddy that works at the Bell store and sure they have had a few returned but most people that have the Samsung S love it... I for one do not have any issues and I know 2 other people with the phone that don't have issues and the GPS works great.
