Micromax Phones Kind Of Rock!

http://www.gsmarena.com/micromax-phones-66.php
Certainly not as good as some other phones out there but for an emerging Company they certainly show great potential. And I just love most of their phones.
I'm not from America myself (land of imports and readily available multi national phones) but if I was I'd get myself one or two of those as secondary phone.

Looks-wise those would have been the hotness about 6 or 7 years ago =p

Now.. yes... but an year ago... bulsht..

Well tell us what is the point? Xda is not about hipster douches discussing obscure low tech phones / low quality knockoffs and how unique we are because no one else gets it. Xda is for discussing almost any smart phones that have decent development potential and a promising developer userbase

The Point Is The Effect Of Mobile Phone Technology On Emerging Markets
The Point Is That I Am Delighted To See A Company From That Area Choosing To Make Smtn Out Themselves And Produce Well Rounded Mobile Phones

I'm Surrounded By Broken Tape Recorders

Samsung warranty

So I have a hard bricked infuse. Don't necessarily need to go into deets on that. However, I can exchange my infuse through warranty. But there is a glitch; I have a hair line crack in my screen. Maybe an inch in the top right corner. Warranty will cover it, but cost me $370. I was wondering if I could just bring the phone in locally to have that crack sealed (if possible at all. Heard of people doing it.) then send it into warranty without them knowing the difference? Then get my new phone without that hefty fee. 
Plan b is to send it into the jtag peeps. I've already tried the jig. That's a no go.
Heres a pic of the crack. Its that black line in the corner. Its hardly visible.

The thing is, I actually got them to get me the skyrocket over the infuse in exchange. The only thing holding me back is the cracked screen.

If the sealant is good quality and the application is flawless then no. But make sure before you pay that the fill is completely without flaws including air bubbles.

Because by now they are probably completely out of infuses...they were discontinued a loooooonnng time ago...its not uncommon for manufacturers/carriers to upgrade a phone on a warranty claim...especially when the device has been discontinued for a while...

Well they were going to give me the infuse, but since it was the second time sending it in I convinced them that maybe that model was a little buggy and the skyrocket would be better due to the similarities.

Well I just got my refurbished Infuse from the Warranty department 1 month ago...so that theory seems flawed....I called again because it's starting to do it's bull**** again and they said they'd still send me an Infuse.

My gf says the same. I remember when I almost bricked her atrix. She kept trying to check on my progress and I kept trying to keep her away. It was stuck on some screen lol.

Yeah, one of the girls I liked BLEW UP at me once when I wasn't texting her because I had to Fastboot my old Razr after softbricking it >.<

Wow its about time someone read me like a book.CTFU I'm the same way and I entirely block everything and everyone out. But its been like this for many years see us men have a tendency to wander what the hell happened how it happened how to fix it and since we are so tired from downloading reading and rooting our androids , well we don't have an ounce of strength left to unbrick so we shut down instead of showing our wife's/ girlfriends/kids what to do so that when we find ourselves in this predicament they can serve as backup hardware to give us input. But our foolish pride won't allow it that's why we are the jacks of all trades but masters of none:banghead::banghead:

Eye tracking app - NO NEED FOR S4

Eye tracking app that allows you to do what the S4 does, but now on every android phone! - -
Control your Android with your eyes!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.drippler.eyecontrol
This feature in Galaxy S4 is known as Eye tracking but you don’t need to buy the might S4 to get this feature, Now you can install and enjoy Eye tracking with any android phone which has a front facing camera. This new feature is very useful while lying on bed or drinking a glass of beer.
Just to be exact, this new feature for all android phones is not a ROM or anything like that. You just need your phone and this app and you are good to go. The developer named as “Dripper” are behind this app and they have done a pretty good job. The first few user reviews are very positive.
Like the Galaxy S4, While watching any video if your ayes are moved away, the video will be automatically stopped and when you are seeing it again, It will play back, This App known as “Eye – Eye tracking for Android” pretty much does the same, and can do most of the things which a galaxy S4 can. So what are you waiting for?

Wish it were true, many disabled persons would benefit
My aunt has degenerative motor disorder and I looked this up because it would have meant the world for her. She can no longer use her hands and fingers. Since she is forced to spend most of her time in bed, having the tablet in front of her and being able to operate it with eye tracking would have effectively made her relatively independent again....at least online.
I know there are computers like TOBI which can do this, but the tablet app option would be much more cost effective.
Alas,

BBM for Android

As the title suggests anyone going to be downloading it today.
I know I will downloading the offcial version it saves me using useless Blackberry curve in work. I can have it on my own phone. Bit annoying carrying 2 phones around lol.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

No, BlackBerry is already dead but it seems they didn't realize it yet.
They are trying to figure out how to get money of what it's left.
The people that still use BBM in my country already use WhatsApp so no need to have another messenger with them.
They should have released BBM for Android almost two years ago. Now it's late, as most decisions with BB.
I was a fervent user of BB and still miss some of it's features and polish (i.e. Calendar Meetings processing) but I realize it's a platform that has years of delay and some usability drawbacks.

Any idea what time it should be downloaded from play store, lm in Cyprus and its 15.00 now....

not sure what money they going to make with this, it's free atm isnt it?. Anyhow i agree with you, Whatsapp is fine, its been cross-platform for ages, and you don't have to worry about remembering pin numbers, also will be hard convincing family and friends to switch back from whatsapp that they been using for a long time (people usually tend to take the path of least resistance)
