http://win.howifuze.com FAKE???

Is this site fake? I have not heard of anyone at all winning anything from here...not even a worthless wallpaper or ringtone download. Has anyone heard anything at all that makes this site legit? Is it a waste of time?

Yes, it's legit, sponsored by HTC.
HTC even sent one Fuze to Engadget Mobile, and one to WMExperts, to each giveaway on their own sites -- although the giveaways for those are already over. Take a look here:
http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/fuze_sweepstakes_extravaganza.html

It's not fake. It's real. You only win when they pick. This is how it works. You do the thing, and someone actually decides, "Ok, this next click will be the winner," but you never know who that is or when that will happen >.> It's gay. It seems impossible to win, but you could always ask the 1 person that did lol. It's 1 in "The whole population of the US" change you have.

So what you're saying is...there's nothing anyone can do to match the 3 spinning phones. They just make the 3 match whenever they feel like it. Even if it's just for a ringtone or a wallpaper. Sad

Isnt that the point of a sweepstakes contest? There nice enough to give 1 Fuze a day away and 5 ringtones and 5 wallpapers for the next 3 months daily. If you dont like it , dont play it.

NICE! I have been playing ever since it started and haven't wont anything.

It's legit... I've actually won a phone
I was playing off/on for a month or two and one day I won the fuze, just got it about a week ago too. I won it on Jan 20th, and it only took about 4 weeks or less to get to my house.

haha keep trying i didnt actually think anyone could win this game but i did somehow. Did they ever send you a tracking number or anything?

I didn't get a tracking number, it just showed up one day.

How does that work? I never had to put my address in, how will they know where to send it?

They ask for your adress and zip code after you win

So I just won a stupid ringtone.

Sweet Android Collectibles!!

Hey folks,
I'm the kind of guy who likes cool stuff sitting on his desk, and needless to say I've become infatuated with Android since its release.
There's a line of Android collectibles created by dyzplastic, and they released their line of Android collectibles today. You can either order one for $7.25, or a whole case for $112. Which one you get is totally random, but they all look really cool. They're releasing them throughout today, at different times. The second set just got released about five minutes ago (11:10AM CST) and they'll surely be gone quickly, so get em quickly!!
I'm using Chrome browser, and I downloaded an extension called "autoreloader" to reload the page every minute, until they updated their stock. once I saw the picture of the droid, I knew they put new ones out there.
I picked up four of them.

***EDIT*** Here's the link that takes you to the page to order. If there are pictures of a single droid next to a box on the left and a pic of the case of droids on the right, they're in stock. Otherwise keep checking back!

The run lasted about 10-15 minutes and was gone, so I'd say keep watching! BTW they're vinyl and stand about 7" tall with arms you can pose.

The site says they are 3" tall, not 7".

No worries. Thanks for the heads up on this. I've been eying the Dyzplastic site for awhile for these. Hopefully they restock and allow orders today. I really want a couple of these.

Yeah, just grab yourself an auto page refresher if you can for whatever browser you're using, and sit that catalog page in the background of your laptop or desktop. That's what I did anyway, and have been watching for a few hours now. They did say they were going to release them throughout the day to accommodate people with different schedules, so I'd imagine if you keep a close eye you shouldn't have a problem.
I do, however, believe they'll sell out of their entire stock today.

Damn! From their website:
"Sold Out! Thanks everyone, what a crazy rush! We had planned to offer some more this evening but unfortunately the shop over-sold and those units are no longer available. Keep an eye on the blog for an update for which stores will have a figures in a few weeks!"

I knew that would happen, but not so fast. Wow!
Well, I got in for four of them, so maybe if I have some duplicates I might have one for you What the heck am I going to do with four of them anyway?
I'll update this thread when I get them in the mail!

Yea it sucks I was totally going to buy one.
Its only 2:16pm here, man.

Sounds like there bought,i called tmobile twice and they told me tmobile has been bought. So why when i asked people around here they say its not true. I don't wanna believe it but i guess its true.

Google search is your friend.
http://articles.boston.com/2011-06-29/business/29718145_1_at-t-deal-at-t-chief-executive-public-hearings
The deal has not been approved by the FCC, so at this point ATT has not purchased T-Mobile.
The ad you describe is likely just an attempt by ATT to influence public opinion in their favor.

Thx i googled but got every answer you could think of , i got a feeling from the last few quarters i read about T-Mobile struggling to stay a float i didn't know it was that bad.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure T-Mobile has been in the red for years, not just for a few quarters. Their parent company would just bail them out though because they are a huge multinational but I guess they're tiring of it. T Mobile USA is like that under achieving little brother who always gets himself into trouble.

According to that article I linked if they do merge ATT would hold 80% of the US market. Hard to predict how the FCC will decide, but that clearly would severely impact competition. In any case it looks like a decision is a year away.

Samnada if it's approved were all gonna be ****ed higher prices and innovation of new devices will suffer.I guess if it happens 80% of people gonna have the freakin iphone in Chicago damn near everyone i see got one.

I don't believe T-Mobile has been in the red, not for a long time if at all. I was under the impression they've been, and continue to be, profitable - just not as profitable as DT would like. Going back through the years we see profits of $130 - $500+ million per quarter.

Honestly I hope the merger is not approved so T-Mobile will receive the cash, spectrum and roaming agreements that AT&T has committed to providing in case of a breakup. I have nothing against AT&T other than their arrogance, overly-congested network, unscrupulous advertising tactics and arguably the worst customer service known to man.

If ATT ends up with 80% we'll be

Ha, "Screwed, blued and tattooed" reminds me of what Bob said to Ritchie in La Bamba.

Update a booby trap?

What if the lg gb update was meant to spite all the g2x whiners and complainers, by permanently being installed on the units with no hope of installing the official t mobile one when it releases, there by making the phone owners who were impatient and installed the lg one marked for warranty termination.
Just sayin...

except that they replaced mine free of charge/free shipping when mine got bricked.

Seriously? This crap again? Do people not have any clue what they are asking before they ask it? If you had done one bit of research you would know that you are not "STUCK" on this update at all. Many many people have already installed it and moved on to other roms since.

I actually would like to hear the reasoning behind your theory? Is this just brown shirt speculation, or do you even see a conceivable benefit to LG doing something as retarded as your theory sounds?

Goodbye T-Mobile V10 Forum

Hi,
I made the "Jump" today to the Galaxy S7 Edge though T-Mobile. I got tired of waiting for Marshmallow. The V10 taught me that I don't necessarily need to maintain 2 spare batteries and an external charger (despite getting them for free from LG). I even don't even use the wireless charging circuit (though trying the QC wireless is on my agenda with this phone). Does any body know a market as easy as Swappa for accessories?

good

I'm curious as to how you made the "Jump" to the S7 Edge on T-Mobile when it doesn't even ship until March 10th. They are only taking pre orders at this time. Guess you are gonna sell your current phone and what, do without a phone until your order arrives sometime after the 10th? Just trying to put a little common sense reality into this thread.

It's simple. The first 4/5 of the post was to be ignored. The last sentence was the real intention. (it's an ad in disguise.)

Then he needs to post it elsewhere cause this isn't a market for selling his stuff. That's what Swapps, eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist are for.

Thank you for letting us know. It was very important for us to know this.

We will close this before it becomes a market that is not allowed on XDA
There is absolutely no selling/buying/trading on XDA.
OP good luck with your new phone.
