HTC Holiday - Just Bought, What to do?

Hey guys,
Just picked up the HTC Holiday prototype that was for sale in the Marketplace, any suggestions or what you guys would like me to do once I have the phone in my possession? I wasn't really sure if this was the right place to post this, figured General would be a good place.
Thanks!

[Q] A crazy question

I bricked my old g2x and sent it back to t-mobile and got a new one, but the new g2x doesn't have the usual t-mobile logo up top. So is this one different in anyway from my previous g2x with the t-mobile logo?

When I was young and began working on construction, I had to be taught to swear properly because I didn't swear before then and used technically correct pronounciation. For example, I would say "F........ng" but was told that was incorrect, it was supposed to be pronounced "F.....n", no "g" at the end. It took me a bit of practise but I got the "F......n" hang of it.

lol good stuff

how about hair wax?

I hear if you mix about 3 table spoons of salt into a litre of warm water and soak your phone in it for about 10 minutes then put it in the microwave on hi for 30 seconds it will remove all your dents and scratches!

Have you looked into PlastiDip? You can get it from Home Depot. It's a spray paint which dries into a rubber coating and you can easily remove it. I'd give it a shot.

The Offical Send a Sgs4g To space.

Things that will be needed
Duct tape lots of duct tape
cooler of striophone nature (sp)
1-mini parashoot
1-2 Sgs4g's One for Gps tracking one for video recording. At least no less then 1 sgs4g Can Find a gps tracker to keep in the box.
1 helliem filled Weather balloon
Some wire.
A few Hand warmer heat packs to keep it all nice and toasty in there.
Some small weights for stability.
Most of the stuff I have access to..
The mission Once TeamAcid Reaches major milestone I plan on Finding a Sgs4g Flashing there milestone rom to it.. Install a 32 gb sd card to it and let it float to 107 Km into the upper atmosphere. At that point it will Pop do to the lack of air at that where the package will para shoot back down to earth. Using Gps location will track down package and recover said sgs4g at that time video will be made and posted...
In case of alien abduction all Team-acid names + white-hawk and Krylons name will be also loaded inside

So, you are asking Us (the SGS4G Community) for a phone?

I only ask because I donated to two phone funds in the past. White‘s twice and krylon's once.

As far as FFA clearance goes yes u actually do lol. Its easy to get for science projects lol.
Looking over the Flight path IF i start in northren cali where i live it should land somewhere near so cal lol.

Yeah if I'm getting it back no problem. If it ends up burning in the atmosphere I'll file an insurance claim lol. I use my tablet for almost everything now. Only using my phone for texts really and I can do that through Google voice. So just say when you're ready

I don't think your insurance would cover this.. You should PM him if you are serious. This is a public forum and I'm sure xda doesn't promote insurance fraud.

RaverX3X: you might want to install something like this and also buy an extended battery just in case it takes a while to find
Best of luck! Sounds incredible! =D

alrighty got it its installed on the device im going to use for gps tracking.
Found a chest to use for it already cut down the lip of the chest so it can be sealed airtight. Cut 2 holes in it and wired and threaded the harness Added the weights to stabilize the payload. Its a very simple build tbh. Payload is going to be about 5.5 pounds
Also adding a Casio Camera to this that records in HD format so i can get some other angles.
and as far as helping goes. If we can accurttly project enough where it should land if theres anyone else that lives in california that would love to come help even if its for recovering it when done that wold be great .
looking at seeing if this will work and not interfear with the recording

There is a option to change the sig isnt there? I know tapatalk has that option.
Im just curious tho is there really a app for app devs? Or is that the free version?

I understand people have parents that wont allow them to buy apps. I understand people live in countries where its almost impossible to purchase apps.
I will point and laugh at people that dont change the sig from the default.
I would also bet people think because it says app-developers app they think it has something special.
Also you do know the xda app is a modified version of tapatalk. If you own the premium version of tapatalk there shouldnt be anything in the premium version of xda that is not available in the tapatalk. I agree each person has their own preference.
As for how people come here for help...how is that related to my question?

Just saying people come here looking for help and what not.....not to be laughed at....
Its all good I see I read a lil different than the way you may have meant it.

Kinda funny. I never noticed it till I saw this thread. For me, I just typed xda in the search bar in the market, and picked the first one with the "official" logo. I didn't even know there was a choice. I don't think I'm fooling anyone with an app dev signature
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Yeah, it's all because app developers are Linux guys, and you know how they are...
I never noticed the difference myself. I didn't buy the paid version because I'm wasn't then and still am not that impressed with the app, in general. I guess I never really considered it "supporting XDA" to buy the app. Hmm, I guess it is, now that I think of it. Maybe when they make it so that reading all the posts in a forum actually makes it marked "read" on the app...

OMG the marked as read and actually showing new posts without having to toggle between pm's is annoying. That is a tapatalk bug. It use to not be that way, atleast for me but tapatalk 2.0 did some weird things.
As for not noticing it. At first I didnt but then we started to get a influx of noobs and reading those posts I realized it.

I think you're looking into it way too much. I bet 93% of the people don't even care, yes 93%

Xda app developers might have been the original name of the site. :-|
