xtc clip in the (west) midlands(uk) upto about an hours drive - HTC Desire S

Hi all, I NEED get the s-on to s-off desperately as the wi fi cuts off all the time due to the silly -88 cut off that HTC have put on it. Rather stupid cause multiplayer is practically impossible without sitting on the router. Plus I do like to play with my toys
Willing travel to get it done within a 50ish mile radious or so
Thanks in advance

xtc clip in P'boro soon.

Bit far away , seen them for 90 and cost that in petrol pretty much
Thanks still the same

Where in the west midlands are you?
I know someone who can do it for you if your interested. In the Birmingham area.

Stoke actually. That would be ace as its 40 minutes on the m6. I can get there most days next week no problem as well. How much would he want for doing it?
I was going buy one next week if I couldn't find someone as well
Thanks loads

Selling my sp5

Sorry guys, I screwed something up and had to cancel and re-list it. I'm not the most experienced ebayer. The new link is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330231627718
guys can anybody give me some advice on this? Pleaseeeeeee. lol
I not quite sure if you are eager to know that I bought my SP5 on ebay for 68 EUR a couple of months ago, practically new and without the slightest scratch
So don't sell this device, it's perfect!
106 dollars? are you kidding me? 106? That's it? you know I paid 256 right? 256! Heck, all the online stores that sell them new are over 400! What am I supposed to do? I need the money now but I could probably sell it for more on the street, more than 100 effing dollars! Are trying to tell me that everyone thinks my asking price is too high? I REALLY need to know. I know a lot of people have looked at it cause I have a counter on the site and I'm willing to bet a lot of them are from here so I would think i'd be getting more than one response, not that i don't appreciate it. lol, cause i do, but i really need a lot of opinions! Be honest people, please, you're not going to hurt me, man.
Dont Want to break your heart but someone got a decent bargain:

fine, screw the price! the tmobile sda brand new in box is only going for like 170 or 150 or something so screw it! OK! But that doesn't explain why no one is even bothering to bid on it! I'm sorry for being so upset. It isn't with anyone it's just I need to get rid of this phone! ASAP! Isn't there anyone here who wants to buy it? I mean the sda and the sp5 are the same frigging thing after all but it doesn't explain why an sp5 costs 470 dollars brand new! (google it) I don't have a lot of time. SO... maybe I got screwed and over paid when I bought my phone for 256 dollars? Can some one just help me out and tell me what I should do? This is really starting to bum me out. I'd be fine but you can't access files over wireless networks with a smartphone os and I really need a touch screen now. I was just hoping to get some of my investment back and MAYBE, when I thought the phone was worth 500 bucks, make a slight profit from it towards my new phone. I'm a frigging college student who just got a job as a busser at logans today, I bought this phone with birthday money! I'm not exactly rolling in it. It was a risky move in the first place. crap.
i decided to drop the buy it now price. i don't care how much i get for it now.
I just bought one for $140...
Because my last one got used so much the USB port desoldered itself. And of course no amount of compressed air makes the joystick work normally. I will bid on yours as a spare.
I think most of us are waiting for the Xperia X1.
*please see top, edited.

Worth it to wait?

My phone sort of took a swim this morning. It was on the counter and it somehow slid and fell just right so it could land in the dogs water bowl. I was surprised and mad so I cursed, picked it out, and threw it. It hit a pillow and had the battery pop out (probably a good thing). Now it is submersed in rice and I am hoping for the best. I would rather have taken it apart and gotten all of the water off of the board with Q-tips and blown the chips dry with CO2, but it was time to go to work.
Anywho, im guessing there is probably a 50 or 60% chance it is dead.
My biggest dilema? there are no good phones for sale in the US yet (aside from the fact I spent my fun money on a 42 lcd). I usually buy unlocked phones on ebay etc... but all of the good phone are Europe / Asia only (no US 3g). Anyone think there is a chance the TG01 and Omnia HD will come to the US in a timely manner or should I just spend my money on a phone I don't really like?
*I like big screens and fast chips. No way I could stand smaller than the 3.2 I had*

dont worry check it early in the morning and im sure it will be updated...how many days does it say it has left when you track it?
ups delivers late around my area (sometimes even 9pm) so hold tight and keep your mind off of it! lol
it say's i have one business day left. i'm just used to ups dropping my stuff off a day early. if it's in my city a day early, they usually always deliver early. just got spoiled i guess.

This phone is MUCH faster than Vibrant, you won't need to flash it so often
My UPS guy doesn't come till 6-7. Too bad I can't pick it up.
Nate how many replacements did you get for the Vibrant before they decided to give you the G2x? They really are trying to play me! I'm tired of this MT4G and they keep sending me jacked up phones!

my original vibrant had a burn in the screen (defective) it took them 2 months of arguing and figuring out if it was my fault( and was concluded that samsung faxed a copy stating NO phone should have burn-in's within 3 months of use)
they sent me one that was all dented on the besil and the volume button was jammed (would not work)
they sent ANOTHER one that would reboot when ever i ended a call (freeze then reboot)
the last one they sent me works perfect..... my brother currently has that one
but the capped data for three months without going over 5GB was enough to piss me off and cancel my service several times... they lowered my bill to 120 for two unlimited lines.... after the first month
the second month i got a 120 credit for the 2 months of data (plus next months)
the third time they lowered my bill to 111.54 a month ( promised from manager of customer loyalty/retention)
and also a free phone per line.... i used my main line for the G2x
and if the SGS2 comes to tmobile i might get it for the second one... or see what comes out next spring
(these "free" phones are free.... to keep me as a customer! they would rather shell out 200 bucks for a phone than loose the 4 ears ive been a customer)
ALSO another note to show how long and how many times i called (daily)
i added up all the hours in my call log including hold time (and sometimes i waited 40 mins for a rep)
and it came to over 80 hours in little under three months
thats a full time job 2 week pay check.....
some tips to help it go faster
DONT BE RUDE
state your problem and only get mad when you know there jerking you around
DONT SWEAR!!!!
they hang up trust me lol
CALL MANY MANY MANY TIMES
so if you think about it...... i didnt get it for free as i wasted almost 80 hours of my life to calling them (sad i know but i dont start working again till may 12th so i get to collect unemployment all winter )
I'm gonna record my Leopard Gecko eating a Pinky Mouse

Can someone lend me a XTC Clip?

Dear HTC ChaCha fellows,
As you know, I live in Brazil and there are no GSM Service / stores here with XTC Clip. Actually they don't even know what it is.
I tried calling HTC, but they say they can't help me because HTC ChaCha is not officially sold here. I tried to call the Official HTC Technical Assistance, but they use the same reason as HTC and say they don't know my model.
I can import a XTC Clip, but it costs USD 100 (almost BRL 200, which is a lot of money) plus shipping costs, plus the chance of adding import taxes... this simply XTC Clip can be more than USD 200.
That's why I'm appealing to you, xda users. Can someone with a good soul send me a XTC Clip, so I can S-OFF my ChaCha and I'll send it back?
Of course I'll pay all the shipping fees, I'm sure it will be less than USD 50. So you're only going to stay away from your XTC Clip for a few days.
Thank you all for helping me have a better ChaCha.
+1
Is there still some kindness left in humanity? Yes there is. I still hope for that. Check some other threads, I remember someone wanting to sell one for 35 euros or something like that.
I have an XTC clip that I'm looking to sell (bought it online, used it one time to root my phone, now don't need it). I will sell it for $55 USD + actual shipping cost to ship it to you from the U.S. (and of course you wouldn't need to send it back). Let me know if you're interested

Well, I was thinking in borrowing one. But since it's totally impossible, I'll accept your offer. How much to ship to Sao Paulo, Brazil? Can you please check that? Thank you.

Sorry, I'm just looking to sell it only rather than borrow it, but hope this helps you since it's a lot cheaper than the price you mentioned...
I just checked the USPS (United States Postal Service) website and it says $12 for First Class Mail International (takes a few weeks), $15 for Priority Mail International (takes 6-10 business days), or $36 for Express Mail International (takes 3-5 business days) - it's your choice which method you prefer, of course. You can pay via Paypal ($55 + the shipping cost depending on which method you prefer) to [EMAIL REMOVED BY POST AUTHOR], and Paypal will protect your purchase , and I will ship it next day after receiving payment.
Just a quick summary, this is what you would receive (this is everything that came with the clip when I bought it):
* 1 x XTC Clip
* 1 x Flex PCB A cable
* 1 x Flex PCB B cable
* 1 x Flex PCB connector
* 1 x Power cable for 9v battery (battery not included) - but I didn't need a battery, I just kept it connected to my computer for power
* Please note that I bought from authorized seller and it did not include the PC mini USB cable (which connects the XTC clip to your PC)... I had to find a cable laying around the house that was originally for another device... but if you don't have one, can easily buy one at any electronics store or online for VERY cheap (like $2) - it's just an ordinary mini USB cable.
Instructions for use are here:

astro11,
Please let me know if you're no longer interested because I have another person asking if I will sell it to them. I will give you first dibs if you're still interested but please let me know either way if you want it or not. Thank you!

I'm really sorry I was absent this last week due to overwork here in the company I work for.
Thank you for your opportunity, but I'll have to decline since I would just order from you January... I'm really afraid of brazilian post office losing your package in the chaos that is christmas. But thanks again for the offer.
I'll be still waiting for some other opportunity. Thanks.
If there is someone in NYC that has one that I could borrow to s-off my daughter's status? I really dont see a need in buying a xtc clip just for her phone. I'd gladly pay someone local a few bucks to let me use theirs

People usually say that is very easy to find a GSM Service store that does that for you for a few bucks. You can try one of those near where you are.

Any xda user reputable enough to do repairs for the low low :)

i have and hd2 that will need a new button flex cable as well as a digitizer. no way im about to drop $100+ to have the digi replaced.
is anyone around here known to do good work for cheap if i mail them the phone?
really? no one on here does this as a side job for beer money
Any local computer shops that have a guy willing to do side work?

they are just computer geeks like me. i can take one apart and put it back together blindfolded. but when it comes to phones im a tard!
we do have a couple local cell shops but just labor is $100. figured id check on here to see if someone would do it me.
I'm guessing that you're in the US then? I have taken apart and repaired a few phones - my own HTC DS which needed the digitiser doing, another which needed the LCD, various older phones and even an iPhone 3 (Ugh). Most of the time all you need to do is search for the instructions or a YouTube video if you are even semi-skilled or competent with tools.

yeah im sure i would be able to, i just don't have the time. with my job and 2 youngin's i've got my hands full!
worse case i'll sell it as is and cut my loses
I've done a few HD2s recently... but you'd have to send some serious beer money to do it, because it's easily a one to two hour job to replace the digitizer on the HD2. $100 is not bad... I would charge you at least $50.
