Hello,just joined the forum and to not be ghost user with no posts will post some USELESS joke

Smoking in the Rain
Two old ladies were waiting for a bus and one of them was smoking a cigarette. It started to rain, so the old lady reached into her purse, took out a condom, cut off the tip and slipped it over her cigarette and continued to smoke.
Her friend saw this and said, "Hey that's a good idea! But, what is that thing you put over your cigarette?"
The other old lady said, "It's a condom."
"A condom? Where do you get those?"
The lady with the cigarette told her friend that you could purchase condoms at the pharmacy. When the two old ladies arrived downtown, the old lady with all the questions went into the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist if he sold condoms. The pharmacist said yes, but looked a little surprised that this old woman was interested in condoms, so he asked her, "What size do you want?"
The old lady thought for a minute and said, "One that will fit a Camel."
poor,poor Camel

Well... I was out with my friends, they were screwing around, one was looking at my phone then he saw the name of a girl i'm interested in, decided to call her, i tried to grab the phone back, he tossed it to his girlfriend who missed it, it hit the ground, and now, i have a 'bleeding' lcd under the glass.
Expensive phones and alcohol do not mix.
So looks like i'm going to have to go down to the mall and get myself a cheapy replacement phone for the next couple weeks.
Looking at a replacment I see "pocket pc techs" a $250 repair to fix the LCD.
Any chance anyone knows a cheaper repair place? in north america... didn't think so but it was worth asking
Ugh, well i guess all my questions will be on hold...
But bleh, just as i got it working 99% as i liked it after having it for 4 months.
Oops... wrong forum... meant for the regular HTC universal... hehe guess i've been spending so much time in this one.
don't they have insurance of some kind?
in holland we have something called "WA-verzekering"
if i break my friends phone by accident, i will pay for the damage and, it might be covered by this insurance... depending on the situation.
'playing catch' isnt covered i think..
but accidently push it of the table is...

Didn't your 'friends' offer to pay for the repair?
They could go half each, one for the crap throw and one for not catching it.
Hey guys,
Nope insurance here wouldn't cover something like that, as for offereing to cover the cost... even if they offered i wouldn't let them. $450 would really mess them up for a month or two, but i can afford to take the hit.
I'm so sorry Balur!
It happened to me last summer...
Hey thanks for the sympathy...
Well I just got back from the Roger's store with a nice and simple Nokia 2610. No camera, no music, absolutly tiny.
Swapped the sim, and its working, so I guess it will do.
$300 to PocketPC Techs
$130 for replacement phone without a contract.
$20 for shipping to the repair place...
UGH...
Oh well, i kinda like this little phone, it will be nice when i go to the bar or a club or something, swap the sim rather then taking my Pocketpc and carrying something large, and that i'm afraid of having stolen.
Oh well... lol.
I guess i'll be posting again in a few weeks

When I was young I was told not to touch things I couldn't afford to replace if I broke them...

Well... welcome to North America... land of entitlement, and bad manners... lol
I bought two so if I broke one at some point I would have spare parts
Woot, fedex man just came, I'm back i the game
Faster then i had thought, kinda funny though since I just bought a cheap small phone so I wouldn't be stranded.
Oh well now I can swap my SIM when I don't want to be carrying my brick (to the bar and such places)

yep, im doing the same.
im using my previous Sony Ericsson P910i as a "party phone". hehe
I went with a Samsung D807x my phone company was ice enough to subsadize it if i signed a 2 year contract (I was month to month), and it worked out anyways becuase the rate plan I wanted required a contract.
LOL.
Its small, its sexy, the quality is pretty good... but... i keep putting my finger on where the antena is... and it causes a hit to quality.
I've been through 3 phones since I sent my universal in though. A cheap pay as you go phone, which i swaped my SIM into, then returned with a week to go becuase it sucked. Also I borrowed a friends piece of crap, then I got that one on Monday, lol.
BLEH!!! 2 dead pixels... gotta send it back... lol
My screen cracked but I haven't fixed it yet. There are repair kits on ebay for ~180 if you're willing to do it yourself... which I am. However, my bank account isn't willing to cough up just yet. haha.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, but I'm glad it got fixed!
I saw the kits, but figured $180 for me to screw up or $250 for a professional to do it...
I decided on the professional
One of the pixels revived (guess it was just stuck), there's one left, always green.
They've agreed to swap screens, but I think I'm going to wait untill Monday and see if this one revives after a few days of usage.
You should be able to contact HTC for the price of fixing it. A friend of mine works in a HTC location in the UK and that office focus mainly on repair.
You can give them a call by finding the numbers on http://www.europe.htc.com/
dead pixels
There is a software to get the dead pixels out. If I find it I'll send you the link but it flashes the screen with different collors to get the dead pixels out. It worked with my MDA screen and never had pixels again.
Program to remove dead pixels
Ok the name of the file is M4V56052.MP4
I have the file so if you PM me your email I'll send it to you. I have to run it like 5-6 times to get the stuck dead pixels out.
I broke my LCD screen last year.
I looked up the parts and ordered an LCD screen strait from China, works perfect. I paid about 70 Euro.
Hi there, I bet you have never seen a raphael in such condition

Well, the phone dropped like 50 meters and two cars ran over it. Did some honorable damage, not far from will it blend
...I could not finish my SMS

Yup, actually they asked me if a train had ran over it (lol), they had never ever seen a phone in so many parts!
I was a bit suprised to see that the battery still had hold it's charge! (Was 90-95% when that happened)
EDIT: You can guess my face btw when i realised what has just happened..
Wow - that's a real bummer. Glad to see you got it fixed. What insurance do you have?
that last picture was after you just changed
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\AutoFix
to 1 right ?
yup, it was the autofix, i just had to solder it on because the phone wouldn't turn on otherwise
About the insurance, it's one you can buy with the phone, the shop that provides such is called Gigantti here in finland, and El Giganten in other northern countries, dont know if you know it.
It costed .. umm.. 70 euros i think and was definately worth it.
omg!!Thats one of the scariest picture I've ever seen!!
I plan to buy my touch diamond soon with almost all the money I earned working for a couple months(which is very precious!), lately it seems like all I hear from people is "oh it might get stolen, or broken" and now I see this!! =O
Never heard of insurance for a phone, seems like a nice idea but I don't think its available here. (Could'nt afford it if it was!~ lol)
*will pray hard before buying the device*
Congrats for your insurance.
So your insurance is going to FIX IT? Right?
Note about insurance...
The insurance we can get with ATT sucks. But I highly recommend to everyone that you check with your homeowners or renters insurance company. Many offer a "PC Rider" for a few bucks a year that covers accidental damage to PC's, laptops, PDAs - anything computer related. Since the Fuze is more PDA than phone, my homeowners covers it... Takes my deductible down to $100 and covers any catastrophic damage. I mention it as something to look into as alot of the people I deal with (PC repair) don't know about it...
Was the SIM card ok..? LOL
It's only a little scratch. It'll polish out.
what were u doing when u dropped the phone? where were u? lucky that thing didn't break someone's window.
You poor bastard. Yesterday i dropped my Touch Pro too ; ; It's only the second day i've had it. I made an ugly ding on the corner and two pretty big scratches on the screen. I didn't even put on my protector yet ; ; I called up att to splat insurance on it the same day. I guess at least i don't have to baby it too much now.
Hey, while you've got it apart, maybe you can see why the left and right directional buttons are so jacked up
what were u doing when u dropped the phone? where were u? lucky that thing didn't break someone's window.
Soon on eBay:
"HTC Touch Pro, like new, minor scratches!"
at the good one you have battery with percent,which app is this?
I have noticed that my phone (hardware version 2) has two bad light leaks. And the speaker hums while in call.
My question is, I bought it at bestbuy (no need for rebates) and have blacktie warranty on it. Which I paid for in advanced 2 years But should I take it to Verizon for replacement? I don't want a referb and heard from a friend they wouldn't be able to swap it out right there for a new one.
Any thoughts in this?

I would double check...
I had the Geek Squad Black Tie thing on my MacBook and I knew I would get better service at the Apple Store...
I contacted Geek Squad and asked them if Apple Store touched my machine or even replaced my machine if my extended warranty/accidental protection would still cover it. They said no - only Best Buy can touch it.
Suspicious. I went to the point of sale Best Buy store and they said the Geek Squad people have no idea what they are talking about. I got the guy in the Blue Shirt and the Geek Squad Black Shirt nerd and they both agreed that the Geek Squad online and phone support were incorrect. I would be covered regardless if Apple touched or replaced the machine. They said they wouldn't even know if Apple touched or replaced because they don't keep serial numbers. I kindly pointed out to both in-store employees that my warranty + receipt both had the Macbook serial number. Both looked at each other and asked, "...when did we start doing that?" I kindly went to my car and returned my Macbook and went to the Apple Store across the street and picked up a new one with Apple Care.
Lesson is check first. These warranties are tricky and each store seems to be inconsistent with coverage regardless of what happened or what is online or what is written on the contract.
I've bought thousands of dollars worth of warranties from Best Buy and have never been able to make a satisfying claim. Either way, I still buy from them and am still a Silver Rewards Member.
Research with the warranty provider before you act.
Best customer service story: hope this "Flygrip" is ½ as great as the company itself.
Two days ago, I ordered a couple of these: http://goo.gl/9PSGA, and even paid an extra 25 bucks for overnight shipping because I have this certain instant gratification issue I can't seem to shake...
Anyway, I got a tracking number but noticed it was only being shipped First Class ground, which meant a 2-5 day arrival. Obviously, they made a mistake, and I was a little upset about waiting after paying more for shipping than the cost of the actual product.
So, I went ahead and emailed them this morning at 10 a.m. about the issue.
Thirty minutes later, my phone rang with an area code I wasn't familiar with.
It was a dude named "Michael" calling from Flygrip.
He began by telling me that their shipping department had, in fact, dropped the ball, and apologized up front for that.
But, he also told me that he had just personally just driven over a replacement of my entire order over to FedEx to make sure I get them first thing tomorrow morning (FedEx wasn't the original shipper; it was USPS, and those are still coming).
I was pretty blown away by the quick, personal response, but not nearly as blown away as I was a little later, after I happened to re-watch one of their other videos.
That "dude" Michael?
Yeah, he was only the owner AND founder of the company, and had taken time out of his day to personally take care of my little issue.
I was doubly impressed again, to say the least.
Now, I'm just really looking forward to getting these and trying them out, (I got one for my SGSIII, and one for my Evo4gLTE.), and also wanted to ask:
Does anyone else use the "Flygrip"?
If so, how do you like it?
Or, does anyone else have a similar awesome customer service story concerning your Android devices?

Edit: I just noticed fellow XDAer QBking77 has already made a review video of the Flygrip himself: http://goo.gl/NM5Kv
Wow this looks like a great product for my Galaxy Note haha!
No unfortunate mishaps to my online purchases so far
But yeah that is some dedication that man has for his work!

So my fiance and I just relocated from 200 miles away a few weeks ago. We're staying with my mom and her boyfriend until tax time when we will get our own house again.
Today is the second day in a row he has come unglued because we "charge our phones too much raising his electricity bill". I got very irate with him for getting as mad as he did about it and gave him $3.00 and stated, it takes roughly 50 cents per smartphone to charge it every day for 1 year. We have two smartphones. Consider us paid in full for 1 year, and consider the rest profit.
Did I go too far? This dudes a complete douche bag by the way. Constantly downgrading my mom and family.
Lol no u didn't go to far he did lol that's sad he can't really think charging the 2 phones is gonna raise his bill lol good luck mate
That's why I got so mad. Lol
This seems to be a good topic for a social media site maybe...... But not a development site. :silly:
