AT&T are selling your personal data to advertizers: here's how to stop that - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Basically anonymized location data, age, gender, usage habits, sports teams, dining and others are all sold to advertizers.

yes all carriers do this but for people who dosent know this is not to have a link to opt out

Funny how users want a better experience, but don't want anyone to know how they use their phone. Paranoid much? Yap.

We know what "anonymized" means right? "Someone went to McDonalds today, and listened to Creed." OMG someone knows that someone has horrible taste even though they don't know who it is!!!

I wonder if they are selling my porn preferences to advertisers... Could be why I keep getting all these ads about midgets and farm animals and whatnot.

Inspire phone stands

Its nothing special, but i was at work today trying to play angry birds while working and it wasnt going to well, so i went to a co-worker who runs the laser machines and asked if she could make a stand, she did, and it holds the phone both horizontal and vertical. Just check out the pics(sorry for the bad pics):
If you are interested in one just let me know and ill find out when she will put them on her site http://www.etsy.com/shop/BungalowGlow she makes lots of other stuff to if your interested.
PS: we have not figured out a good solution to keep it from sliding, the feet you see in the pic was my doing and she advises against it due to the fact that they will fall off
forgot to mention that its made of two parts that slide together so you can transport them easily
Wow, don't all ask at once, I know their popular

Yes, I paid $5 for this piece of plastic
http://www.gogostand.com/
I have seen numerous DIYers post on how easy it is to cut one of these yourself - you can see the design is not too hard to copy.
That being said, I love having this tucked in my wallet behind my credit cards (it's slightly thinner than one, and the same size). As a proud father of two, this item allows me to save the day when the adults want to sit and chat over drinks at the restaurant for another 30 minutes, and the kids are bouncing off the walls. It's Miller Time for us, Movie Time for them.

Look man, pyramid scheme was the wrong word. I understand there is a difference between MLM's and pyramid schemes. However, the fact remains that XDA won't allow marketing like this. Moreover, you have been incredibly rude in responding to objections. Being in sales myself, I can attest to the frustration you feel when a potential customer puts a wall up like I have, but you will absolutely flounder in sales of you continue to respond to responses the way you have been.

Understandable, but, calling things a scheme or scam etc.etc. before researching a subject or topic just promotes and shows ignorance. This action is offensive and rude as well. If, I was selling things or products it would be different. However, I do not sell anything. All I am doing is offering a opportunity that can change people lives and save them money and lastly lower their bill.
There is no Paying I am not asking for money but, merely informing people. Of a cheaper rate and plan.
Sorry if, you or anyone else are offended by me offering to help them out. Good luck to you in all that you do.

Thought the mods would wake up before I had to get all eloquent on your ass. XDA is the place for curious people to investigate how to get the most from their smartphones, not the place for a series of pyramid scheme hucksters to hump their off brand services. Have fun getting your thread locked. Sigh.

I have an idea. Are there any Chinese dev sites we could petition to that might just have an HTC employee willing to leak us out some root love for the bounty? Or maybe they could help with the S-Off/Bootloader locks? Just a thought.

Although it has absolutely nothing to do with the One S or xda in general, there's nothing wrong with it, and this would be the place since the OP is asking the One S users specifically. Sorry, but I find no reason to move or close it (until the trolls come visit of course).
I play PS3, by the way.

*~Holiday Hangout ~*

I've been talking to a few folks around these parts and I propose a Holiday Hangout!!!
lets choose a day, and an approximate time and lets all hang out on G+ and talk about what we got/gave for christmas and of course what's going on around the One X forums.
We did a small one on G+ the other day and it was really fun.. would be really cool to put some faces to those usernames!!
We got a couple devs on board.. we just need to figure out a date where everyone isn't stuffing their faces or busy with family (pesky families.. when will they learn )
Maybe leave an ideal date and your time zone and we can figure it out. Or maybe a poll.
I'm thinking either Christmas Eve.. or Christmas day in the evening.. thoughts??
Cheers and happy holidays
