Just Sold My G2X

Hey guys, well when i first got the g2x i couldn't put it down, but it lost it's luster the longer i held on to it, i sold my ipod touch last year and ive missed it since, i also spent a goo $100 in the itunes store, i decided to move to the iphone and the first step was to get rid of my phone, i know the 5's coming out but i cant afford that , and im not gonna sign a contract, i got $300 out of my G2X, which i think isn't too bad, i am currently looking at craigslist and ebay for an unlocked/unlockable Iphone 4 for about $300, if anyone has one hit me up. Maybe once ice cream sandwhich hits and the fragmentation stops i might come back to android, but until then im gonna be on an iphone, i'll keep this updated with my thoughts/regrets if any, did i get a good price, let me know what you think?

why even post this?

i didn't realize i was breaking the law, this is in the general section, it's a discussion that you don't have to read or post anything if you don't like it, no one has a gun to your head.

Seriously, what's the purpose of these I sold, wanna sell, thinking about selling g2x threads, just do it, gtfo, be gone. Good riddance, and go frequent the I phone or sensation forum. Troll.

You got $300? What kind of condition was it in? Reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about selling mine which is in almost new condition. The only way you can tell its used is by looking at the chrome strip on the battery cover under a bright light. You will then see some surface scratches but other than that, there isn't a mark on it.

I'd sell mine for $600. I'd donate $50 of that to Cyanogenmod team.
I'd also likely flirt with you guys' moms, and if they bought my phone I'd throw in a little bonus if you know-what-i-am-saying.

Thread locked, please post in the offtopic section. Thanks

Anyone Selling there Infuse if so I'm looking to Buy

if anyone is looking to sell their Infuse please PM me.
Thanks,

I just went and looked at what Infuses are selling for, and found an interesting one.
I've either:
A. Found one Devs [email protected] account.
B. Found someone selling one of their roms on an Infuse.
I don't want to post outside links but if someone looks on that site, it's pretty easy to find.
Seems pretty lame of someone to try and sell an others work.
Of course this is a non-issue if one of these devs is the one selling it.

You mean the person selling one with the Gingerbread ROM on it? What's wrong with that? Seller isn't charging EXTRA for the ROM. The DEV doesn't charge FOR the ROM. I think it's a bad idea anyway unless the buyer knows it isn't the "stock" software and what he is getting him/herself into.

att has refurbs for 19.00

Mine is listed F's in the market....why not use the market?
That is what that area is for

Donations for a Thunderbolt for Wild Child for Development of new ROM

Hi Guys
So I bought my wife an Inspire and have been playing around with Wild Child's ROMs over in the Inspire Forum. I think he does fantastic work and so far these are some of the most stable and fastest ROMs I have seen on any Android device that I have used. Check the thread for reviews and feedback from other users.
I spoke with him about developing a ROM for the Tbolt, but obviously he is on ATT and has an Inspire. However, he said if he had one he would definitely get working on it.
I would like to start taking donations to buy him a Tbolt so he can develop a ROM for us to use.
I think we can buy a good quality used one in the $150 range, so it wouldn't take too much to get him started. If we can get enough to buy one ( I will throw in too), I will gladly find one locally in Utah and pay for the shipping to to him.
If there is enough interest on this and we get some posts, I will put up a paypal link for this.
Thanks and please post your thoughts so we can get working on this.

I think you would be better off having the developer come and express interest in attaining a donated thunderbolt. I am not sure how many people would just send money to you in good faith since Christmas is right around the corner, couldn't hurt to have some extra shopping money. But good luck.

So if I was trying to scam you, why do you think I would put in a developers name who is a member and respected developer on this site? Seriously?
I discussed this with Wild Child and he asked me to do it this way. You can confer with him if you don't believe me.
You can also check out my business website.
utahpistol.com
I am certified by the state to teach concealed weapons classes and if there is even a blip on my record or a complaint i could loose my certification and my business. Do you really think that is worth $150 to me?? I. come on gentlemen. Not everything in this world is a scam, and you should have realized that when I put in a devs name that is here on the site and accessible.
But thank you for bringing negativity to my thread as I was just trying to do something for the greater good of the xda community.

Wild Child has a donations link setup. I'd say if you wanted to donate to him why not donate through his link? Also, can you point us to some of his work with the Inspire? I don't see much development for the Inspire.

I was asked to possibly develop for you guys on the tbolt....if you look here,I took over the ROM from someone else...all the proof of my work is [email protected] etc....this wasnt a scam, and for those who gave negative replies...not very nice....jimmyut was only trying to give you guys a stable usable rom for this device....but since you guys/girls want to bash the man for something legit....thats ok ill pass.... Mods can you please delete this thread....Thank you for the confidence and compliments of my work jimmy....ill see you in the inspire forums...
WC

No worries. Sorry it didn't work out because of the negative attitudes of some of the members on here. You would have been a great asset to the Tbolt team.
Maybe I will just buy one myself and send it to you so I can have my own custom one of a kind ROM...
Thanks again for the willingness to help out. I wish this whole community was more like you.

Like my Mom taught me, "sometimes it's better to to say nothing at all".

[Q] Whoops, Dont yell at me :(

So lets say.. (Hypothetically) that a "friend" of mine accidently installed a Sprint ROM (The dragon rom) on his verizon phone, the phone is completely inoperable and doesn't even turn on. like holding on the power button does nill, and trying to put it into download mode yeilds no results as well, would it be possible to play stupid and return the phone to verizon since it's not been two weeks yet since i've had it? or will they catch on that the phone's been tinkered with? any imput would be appreciated. keep the wrist slaps for an obvious mistake to a minimum please I swear i thought it was for the verizon variant lol.

If it wont turn on at all then you should be fine returning it. You should also follow what my sig says

Committing fraud is never good, especially when it's due to stupidity. Sorry OP, it's the truth. Man up and pay to get that JTAGGED by mobile tech videos.

Not everyone has money to throw around. I don't think a new phone replacement is gonna affect a huge corporation all that much.

Yeah but...if you can justify one person...then you can jusity 10,000 people and so on and so forth.
Also if you don't have money to throw around, play it safe and don't do things like the OP.

If you don't have the money to spend on JTagging, you shouldn't be playing with fire on your rather expensive phone, IMHO.
I have sympathy for the OP's dilemma, but sometimes (depending on the circumstances, need to survive, etc.) we need to accept the consequences of our own actions and seek to avoid abusing policies that seem like part of a generic, abstractly large pot of abundance.

It doesn't affect the corporation, it affects the rest of us as consumers that purchase their products. They make up the loss with price increases. Retail stores do the same thing with stolen merchandise. Raise prices to offset the loss. I agree. Man up. Fraud is fraud and stealing is stealing. Makes no difference who its from. I'd never tell my kids its OK to lie, cheat, and steal as long as its from rich people lol.

should have asked OP before you tried. Maybe not on this site because they can be a little harsh on Noobs but the other dozens of sites on the web. If you have insurance on the phone drop it in water pay the deductible and get a new phone.

Exactly. You you have to think in the aggregate.
And to be honest, if you have the money to pay for the most expensive carrier and the most expensive phone on said carrier you can probably spare $50-60 to fix your own mistake.

I personally don't think it's fraud.... All Verizon is gonna due is use it as a refurb (and how do you think they get refurbs?) Sometimes a company has to open up BRAND NEW phones to give out as refurbs aka replacements, because I used to work for Nextel, before Sprint ate them up.... I was a tech and I remember having to open up brand new phones just so we had stock for refurbs cause when you release a new phone refurbs are non-existent until months after a release... And Samsung will just fix the phone but that does NOT make up for the part of NOT reading and following the instructions before you flash something... Every mod or rom that I flash I automatically know that if my phone dies it is MY fault cause I am playin with fire but flashing a totally different carriers rom is just plain stupid and I was a noob at one point and I NEVER even thought of flashing something until I read about a million pages of how to's and guides etc. I am not trying to be a **** but why would you think it's okay to flash a Sprint rom on your phone?? You will get a free pass on this one and get a replacement phone but if you do it again than you may want to think about just running stock because I think every noob gets one freebie and this is yours so go get a replacement and READ READ READ and if you can't find your answer than keep READING.... I have never bricked a phone and I guess I am lucky but I certainly have never flashed another carriers rom on my phone either... Just my 2 cents... Good luck and READ! :laugh:
EDIT: I do NOT condone FRAUD!! There are just different ways of looking at what fraud is and I don't think the OP would be committing fraud... imo

I wouldn't spam the forums like this either, then you won't be able to comment on ANY thread.

Words of wisdom there. ^^^^
Your post was deleted. It really isn't that hard to find threads to put in 10 quality posts.
And so help me if you 11th post (presumably in a Development thread) is a "Thanks for the ROM" or "This ROM is Awesome"

Sad Day In My Shift World

Let me start off by stating that XDA and all the moderators and users have created something absolutely amazing. This site has allowed and taught me to turn just my cell phone into something awesome and personalized. I'm lovin what you guys are doing so keep up the good work for sure.
The first smartphone I got was the Evo Shift, and fell in love immediately. I very soon after discovered XDA and started rooting and flashing away. I helped a few friends out rooting their phones, but I just felt like the Shift was far better and faster.
I used the phone for around 6 months or so. Unfortunately that's where my happiness ended. My girlfriend decided to snatch it out of my hands one night, and i guess decided that I no longer needed a phone, so she smashed it against the pavement which ended my little buddy. Lol. Well she saw the error of her ways or who know what, but she's going to try and buy me a phone in a day or so. We are both not really "ballin" enough to go throw money on some things. Anyways she only is gonna spend around $40 or $50 on the phone. I've looked on eBay, Craigslist, and other sites and it seems like im sort of S.O.L. I've checked out other phones besides the shift, and all i really care about is speed. But hell beggars can't be choosers lol. Well i decided to ask on here to see if I might get lucky and see if anyone has a decent sprint phone they are trying to sell or get rid of.
Any help is much appreciated and very thanked regardless.

I sympathize with your position but the only place on XDA for buying/selling/trading of devices is the marketplace, and unfortunately you will not have access there due to your account being very new, or by PM with someone and you are both taking a risk which most XDA members are unlikely to do. Or by an external source such as you have already checked out.
I will move this thread to Q&A since you did ask for suggestions, hopefully some members here can think of something helpful to suggest.
I suggest sticking with suggestions related to the phone and avoiding the relationship element please.
Thank you,

I would keep an eye out on Craigslist, and the XDA Marketplace. I've seen more than a few go for just around that price.
