[q] florida flasher claims to be part owner of xda - General Questions and Answers

I just want to know if anyone has heard of these guys. They are slandering xda's name all over craigslist, in multiple citys. They are taking credit for photon unlocks, and other hard work that the wonderful dev's here post, Please be aware of this and bring this to the knowledge of xda admins and others, If this is not true it is slanderous and wrong. They are taking credit for all the devs hard work on here and charging customers for something they can do for free. Please someone look into this, as it makes me sick to my stomach to see these lies. Here is a copy of one of the posts. I dont work for any shops, just an independent. It makes me so angry they are taking credit for everyone elses hard work!!

Xda and our software has found out who is flagging all the other dealers.
and wouldnt you know its another dealer.
Then we get a call at midnight. Thats cause they are losing sleep
We have a recorded call where the competition
Has threatened harm robbery and more. Then he slipped up and said he was
part of cell bros.
Now we will request a comment from cell bros tomorrow and let them hear the call.
i also passed on this guys number to the orange county sherrifs office.
If you too were threatened by the man on this tape we want to know.
As an admin and part owner of xda-developers.com
We have an awesome legal team and will pursue this with vigor.
We are here to save you the consumer money
We wont stop and tactics like this call are sad.
If you want to hear it please email or text is we will send you tge link
For other dealers who have had to have this abuse.
we are here for you.
We also will have orange county run his number to confirm he works with cell bros.
there is one thing you cant hide thats a call record.
As one of the admin from xda. If you need help
and your tired of getting abused with these prices
for solutions and software our forum created.
So you know. Most flashers have $200the tops into
their software if that. Charging $70 $65 or more os like
raping you the public.
Call text or email to hear the call
from what the other guys sound like.
And i didnt say he worked there he did.
Hear it yourself.

I'm being harassed by a stranger....

He/She keeps sending me text messages from the same number. I told that person to stop but he/she still insists in persisting.
I'm using AT&T, and AT&T gave me to choices: 1) Pay AT&T 15 dollars a month to block a number and 2) Change my phone number for FREE.
I have reasons not to change my phone number and I can not afford 15 dollars a month for phone calls.
Will any techniques work in stopping this harasser from harassing me?
Or does anyone know a good software (I'll freaking pay for it) that I can use to ****ing deny text messages from this person?
Sometimes I even get phone calls from that number. Also......sometimes he/she attempts to call me as "unknown".
Other than that... if he/she keeps harassing me. I have no choice but to publicize his/her number so I can ruin his/her life for trying to ruin mine.
Cant you complaint to police instead?
I have an idea; change your voicemail to YouMail instead of ATT, then setup a Ditch Caller greeting/action and ditch the call or have them hear the same message all the time.
Free and pretty simple. You just can't answer your calls blind and must have caller id working. If the caller gets wize and calls from a blocked number you can ditch or block those too.
SPB Phone Suite allows call filtering. It can direct numbers on your 'black list' straight to voicemail.
EDIT:
Someone on xda has made a freeware call firewall. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307178
I had this happening to me last year. The phone company (Orange at the time) were unhelpful so I responded to a text that if they did not stop I would contact the police. The offending text messages duly stopped.
The freeware call firewall sounds great. I´ve never had a problem like this but what can the police say or do?
My first thought was to spam him 10x back with some kind of automatic SMS sending service.

In the UK they can arrest the offender and caution them. If that fails then they are liable to prosecution.
A caution alone will flag up on a criminal records check - which is needed in the UK for some jobs - particularly working with children - which will will prevent you from being employed.
That's all assuming the police have the time or inclination to respond to your complaint.
Hi,
http://www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs3-hrs2.htm
The link may offer some information to you. I dont want to scare you but if it persists you need to get proper professional help for your own personal safety, DO NOT ignore it, any form of stalking whether your a man or woman is a serious matter and I am speaking from experience.
Isnt there an app called "Do not disturb".
I used it once. Do a search on it.

What in the hell? AT&T actually forces you to pay $15 per month (in other words, as much as they charge for unlimited data) to block someone from harassing you? Aren't telecommunication companies supposed to help you or at least offer information to the police in cases of harassment and stalking?
Other people have offer good advice, but I'm going to have to agree with calling the police.

What do you think capitalism is?
Ok guys, I need to know how to extract the messages into text. I would like to upload the messages from my phone to show you what my problem is.
I used a great method, which did not involve sending the information to police, dealing with courts (which causes you to miss work), or paying extra fees for software or from protection from my wireless provider.
I simply recorded (or found on the internet) an audio clip of "*annoying sound bit*this number has been disconnected", I let it repeat twice like the phone companies do. I then placed that for my voicemail greeting.
There is plenty of free software available you can use to blacklist callers. So blacklist the callers phone number and use the disconnected greeting. It will work like a charm because it will go directly to your voicemail. Eventually the text and phone calls will stop.

What's with the snarky response? As I recall, 'capitalism' is a system in which the means of production is owned by individuals, and I don't think that inherently requires them to charge a high fee for absolutely everything. Of course, I also know that doesn't mean they won't do it if the consumer lets it.
You know, just forget it. I really don't care if AT&T charges $15 per month to block a number.
I offered a free, viable and immediate solution. So did others.

I wasn't trying to be rude. I've been thinking about filing a report the police station. And all the other advices are highly considered too. But of all else, there was nothing that was meant to be rude.
(Please don't be offended, as well. I am not for socialism)
For exporting your sms go to this link and download SMS Export, its a good free app http://www.smsexport.com/
if you export as text its readable.
And as for capitalism , huh, its just as bad as communism, socialism etc..., its just another lie for corporation control of the masses. So three cheers for who gives a f*ckism.

No, no, I wasn't upset about that. Whichever advice you chose is wholly your choice and I don't want to interfere. I just thought you might have been making a sarcastic critique about me believing AT&T wouldn't charge for such a thing.

Forgive me, it's the internet and it's hard to shape speech without true presence. Also, someone made a thread about the over-use of lol on the "Off-Topic" forum, which sort of caused me to refrain from adding a lol.
I am going to download the SMS export soon and show you guys the text (probably by October 1st).
Also, she has told me that she would stop once. She stopped for 1 week then suddenly spammed me again.
About 1-2 days ago she said she would stop again. But she claimed that she cried because of this. And she hasn't texted me so far.
One reason I don't want to file police report and take court action against this person is that if this is a real "teenager" girl as she claims to be, and that if she is from my perspective *insecure and need a friend* but also a real person, than I feel obligated not to hurt this person.
Also, if you guys are wondering, I think she got my number from a demo T-Mobile Touch Pro2 that I used to call my number. I forgot to purge the out-coming-call's list.

has anyone talked to luca chase who got a sensation and NEW DATE FOR UPDATE(maybe)

so i am extremely mad at Tmobile right now. I got a call from their executive office and i was speaking to luca or lusha or somthing like that. basically she told me i was unable to be given a sensation. I then told her that i would be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau because the people who did on XDA were given Sensations. she then told me she handled all of the Better Business claims and that no one had been given a sensation. but i know for a fact that people on here have been given one. So my question to the community is who offered you a sensation when you called the executive office? i am going to call and ask to speak to them.
Also she told me that at 2:24 today T-mobile received a message saying a software update would come sometime next week. I then asked if it would be gingerbread or just a bug fix. Her response, " Do you know what a software update is? that pissed me of to no end. our conversation ended when she asked me for 20 dollars for a new G2x. i told her she was out of her ****ing mind and told her to be ready for my better business complaint
Then I called corporate so i could file a complaint on lucha or whatever her name was. the lady who answered told me that isn't possible so i asked for the name of the person i was speaking to and she hung up on me. I kept calling back and i kept getting redirected to the desk of luca chase (still not sure how to say or spell her name) and that just royally pissed me off.
i am so mad right now. All i can do is file a complaint. i never expected to be treated this badly.

This is the problem I see with all the whiners and complainers on this forum. There's a way to communicate, if you lose your cool then you'll get screwed.
Especially in America, people think they're "entitled" to get what they want because of supposed laws or it's in writing, but I tell you this, unless you know the laws to the "T" and you're willing to invest your time, energy, money and so on and so forth, you'll just make it more inconvenient for others, because then the company, even if they're in the wrong, will implement protocols to make it harder for others that come in with the same complaint just because some shmuck didn't know how to communicate without threatening the company.
I'm putting this out because all these complaints will do more harm to us consumers, by making Tmobile or anyother company that feels they're being attacked put up a wall of defenses that will make it less forthcoming for us to do pleasant business with the company, because now we're all looked upon as the enemy.
i only lost my cool after she made it clear that she wouldnt give me a sensation. this was my 3rd time talking to her.
I have a friend that works as a manager at T-mobile who exchanges my phone for a new one everytime a new one I like comes out ... you should also get a friend that manages a store @ tmo ... winning
Seems like a lot of work for one person to handle all of these claims!

While i agree that the poster did not handle this right at all. i am fed up with my paycheck being **** paying for all the entitlement programs in this country. BUT we are entitiled to a working phone or a refund. not sure why people want the sensation i have no care for it. the use of entitlment here is not correct since he is entitled to a working phone .
and your last paragraph. the reason people are so pissed off is because of the lack of communication and forthcoming(still believe its out of stock d/t sales)
they already put up the great wall of china and posted it with lies and misleading attempts to get people to hang on to the phone past the 2 weeks.
in no way am i saying that the OP was in the right. but you sounded just as bad.
now lets start spreading this next week date. comeone we need at least 20 threads on it
No $#it man "he got it why can't I" you would probably sell everyone out!!

Ever hear the saying one bad apple spoils it for the bunch. Well you're the bad apple. You don't get something by demanding it. I really don't think anyone who called really called to get one. We just wanted a phone that works.

Making flyers to fight the SOPA act

Listen up people. This is what we need to do to help the public become aware of this very damaging Act. We can not let Big brother push us around any longer.And there constituents the big corporate companies. If you go to this web site and you click on the names of all the people that are in support of the SOPA act. You will see the huge contributions and a generality of where they came from.
http://projects.propublica.org/sopa/
What I and all the members of this site are in need of is something that we can print on paper that we can distribute to the public. So I ask the members to help us to get this done. Pleas come up with or help find the proper info that we can copy and past into a word document that will allow us to print it out and then hand them out to the public. I know that this is something that maybe I should do my self. But, I am on the road all of the time and I work two jobs. And have a wife and two children that I like to spend time with when I get home. I don't have much time to concentrate on this at this time. And we do not have much time. So I ask that you help us out. You do a lot for us in the community. And we as a whole are extremely grateful. We would not ask for your help if it were not so urgent. So I ask that if this is something that when and if done, you either post a comment here or you PM me the item in question. If this info is a collaboration from members and the info is PMed to me I will include if desired the members names that came up with the finished product. Maybe I am saying to much here as I some times do. Maybe this is a bad idea. But, I am not sure as to what else I can do at this time. Again, I travel all over New England all of the time. I will make as many copies as I can to distribute to the public. Also if there are any paper print shops that are willing to help and make prints to give out to people when and if this info gets posted here. I believe that we all will be extremely grateful for the help given.
As a matter of fact, I will make a place holder for the work of art that should be printed up. To the people in the print shops. I live in MA on the Northern boarder of RI. If you are going to pledge your support in this battle. I ask the members that are willing to distribute these flyers get in contact with what ever shop pledges there support and let them know when and where you will pick up the flyer's. And, as a note. If any one here does get involved in this. I can not stress enough that our conduct must at all times be civil. If we are in a parking lot and putting flayer's on peoples vehicles. Please be mindful of the accessories that you are wearing. So as to not scratch other peoples vehicles. And if the owner has the rite to kick you out of the parking lot do not quarrel. Just go and start else where. Thank you and i hope that I have not made to big a fool of my self. good day/night.
Place Holder:
I really hope this gets nipped...
i don't think many people realize how big of a deal this is..
i am all for helping out in any way possible to prevent SOPA
I've already petitioned my state officials via e-mail thanks to the EFF's website for this. I actually got a personalized email back from one of them.

Could someone please post some good links for more "true" background information for "foreign" users?

It was originally introduced "by House Judiciary Committee Chair Representative Lamar S. Smith and a bipartisan group of 12 initial co-sponsors."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Online_Piracy_Act
I can see that they want to stop piracy, but this is clearly the wrong way to do it.
And they're up to 30 co-sponsors now, by the way.
Keep on them "do nothing" representative's before they screw us again!
Agreed, im actually more concerned about this than studying for finals

This site is not for Crapple products. Try using Google to search or our sister site at http://iphone-developers.com/
There is lots of website available on the internet, just Google it. Pick the best site where you can resolve your problem.
@brookeaidan - Not to trole you or anything but I noticed a pattern forming of telling people to just google it. Though its a good suggestion to use google, I'm not saying write pages or something, just be a bit more helpful if your going to post help. Maybe post a link to a google search for them (not everyone is a wiz a google) because this is hard to get into (unlocking or hacking or rooting) the first time but once someone gets a win it's all good for the most part from there on.
I would suggest;
1. example Google search the following or to help resolve the questions in this here thread:
"Iphone"+"unlock" how to similar:xda
Or
"Iphone"+"unbrick" how to similar:iphone-developers
2. If you've got some knowledge to drop or experience to share its a good idea to post it so that the original poster can benefit and all future readers. For example:
When I had to unlock my first phone I first read up on the legalities, the how to(s) and then picked the best rout of action... at that time it was not illegal in the nation I resided and most of the how to(s) where way over my head (at that time) so I found that adding "solved" to the search queries pulled one up on "how to unlock your phone with help from service provider" in that guide it went over the steps of escalating a call without burning bridges and the legitimate reasons that you can give a service provider to assist you with unlocking a device.
Example of escalating the call
Service provider turns a request down
Respond something like
"That's ok <insert name> I won't waist your time further, can you please connect to your supervisor"
When supervisor answers, this is usually after the person you've just talked to has shared some words about you to their supervisor, so be polite but firm with the first person you talked to they'll likely also try to turn you down as well. Don't get impatient here, instead re-state your wishes completely, pause long enough that the supervisor can "grunt" that they've herd you but not long enough that they can interrupt you until you've finished everything that you need to say, if they do interrupt say something like
"I respect your time <insert name> and I need you to listen because this is very important <continue statement>"
When you're telling your story some things to keep in mind; don't lie, don't raze your voice (tention in the voice works far better), know that the first 2 or 3 people you talk to may not have the knowledge or the ability to do what you want so treat it like an adventure
Now for the reasons why a service provider might be cool enough to help you;
~ A family or business emergency, vacation, or trip is taking you out of your provider's coverage without incurring steep roaming charges wile your abroad.
This was the one that worked for me at least and was suggested by others. Make it sound like it could happen soon and let them know that you love your device and your service and don't want to have to leave them just to get a phone that'll work over seas because you love your phone (remember )... most people get it by then and are more apt to be on your side about connecting you to the department that handles unlocking.
So to recap
~ polite but firm and prepared to repeat yourself
~ request to be connected to the person(s) or department that can resolve your issue
~ use the persons name and the names of the persons to talked to before
~ treat it like an adventure
Doing so ensures
~ the person you are talking to is willing to help
~ prevents you from getting turned down and hung up on
~ let's them know that you will remember them, this is powerful when used correctly
~ by being up beet with company represinitives on the phone you can make them really eager to please. Note though; not to be to chatty or friendly as this will drag things out.
Some additional notes about unlocking devices:
I've unlocked many phones (no iphones yet) and two with the above method before doing it with guides and USB and programs or exploits on other devices. Both routs are tedious at times but if you take notes and are persistent you'll find a method that works in either rout.
In all companies the least secure and most flexibility/leverage can be found in the call centers, as a customer it's a good idea to know how to get your moneys worth out of 'em so perhaps look up social engineering (The Art of Deception was an entertaining read) or NLP (Darin Brown can be found on Youtube and it's good for a laugh too. Tools like that when used to get what you want as a customer can make life far quicker and easier even if your not out to exploit something but instead have a legitimate concern. I'm not saying that you should become some kind of mind master but instead take a look at the key concepts and apply them to actively construct a conversation that leads to your goal. After playing round with both ways of unlocking I can say getting a service provider to do it for you is kinda more fun, ya get to make peoples days a bit more interesting (such as when ya get a talker that then clams up because the realize that the conversation is recorded on their end and they've just said... something...) and not stare into a PC screen but instead kick your feet up and let them handle it.
If you go with option 1 and find a guide and unlock your device at home do be sure your not going to get stuck with some kind of fine for breaking a law and be sure to look up guides on how to unbrick and or recover from boot loop; bricks and boot loops happen, knowing how to solve it before it happens makes things so much quicker.
If you go with option 2 be sure to not cancel or suspend your contract or otherwise alter your contract (such as adding international roaming, they tried that one a few times on me, just said "no, thanks though" and moved on) because such things are not needed And if they suggest it then; let them know that you will make contact just before traveling and that "this" call is to ensure that the next rep you talk to has only those steps left to do and that "this" call is to get all the time and technical intensive things out of the way so that you and the next rep are not scrableing to get it done that day. They may suggest all sorts of other solutions, like a pre-paid phone, this is where you loving your phone or needing something on it for business to work comes into play. If one level of supervisor doesn't cut it go higher. And if you're transfered more than twice and had to repeat yourself more than that then on the next transfer ask to be directly connected or to have the person that is trasfering you to stay on the line to help explain why your being trasfered to the new person; this makes it so that you are using duble the resources of the company and most of them know it, so getting you quickly trasfered and the issue explained becomes a priority to the first person you talked to and the second person your about to talk to is being put at ease because someone from their company is explaining things to them before you do (prepping the target) these two forces combined cause you to become viewed as within their circle and leads to them wanting to work with you more rather than just push you down the line. Like I said though don't go lieing to your service provider but know that there are ligit reasons you may have to require your service provider do this.
As with all things you see on the web use at own risk
And happy hacking, whether it be on humans or what they make.

Sorry, but there isn't a lot of iPhone development on xda and sooner or later this thread is going to see some heavy anti-iPhone trolling. So thread closed, and please try a website that is specialized for iPhones....like this one: http://iphone-developers.com/

Fair Repair Bill [Legislation]

Here at XDA I love watching videos tutorials. I love being able being able to rip apart my own device to fix it at my own will! What I don't like is that the mobile phones companies are pretty useless when it comes to self repair and they sometimes make it hard to repair & resell electronics as a whole!
These is a bill below that if passes would help mom and pop repair places get actual support and the same repair information that companies have on the devices they repair! Could you imagine if we, XDA, had that info! Do't you think that could be useful! It would help them and the community as whole when it comes to fixing out devices that we love.
Below you will find link to both bills currently going through the Senate and State Assembly, as well as a link to help raise awareness on this amazing bill. Please share, sign up, hope and take action. The Bill is going through legislation at New York right now but who knows how far it can go afterwards! We got offical unlock device support from Obama so let's make this happen to people! :good::good::good::good:
:laugh:
