Its not trolling. It's a worthless thread. Its a forum yes however vent in a thread that already have complaints.
Creating threads just to complain wont do **** to change your problem. Also its bumping the important thread to further back pages

He is too good to post where others have invested their time for help and solutions.
And we are trolls because we ask that not EVERY ONE single person with the SAME problems make their own individual threads.
Clearly we are wrong. Lol! ¡!!!!!!!!!!!

By you blasting someone for complaining you are wasting just as much bandwidth as they are. Get over yourself!
I'm getting a Sensation. And I'll post about what a piece this phone is. I'm on my fourth and T mobile is "letting " me extend my contract and buy the Sensation for the contract price for my trouble. Gee thanks.
I was coming home from the Drs. office a little while ago and said to my wife as I played with my phone..."Aw ****, I'm just gonna' keep this one...." WTF? I must be stoned, it doesn't work. The whole time I was there, it would work on the Drs wifi, then not work....then it would work on the 4g, then it would not work. It was pitiful....three times it would work then three times the page wouldn't load. On and off...on and off. Just pitiful. It would not work in the car the whole five mile ride.
I love the phone.
I'm done with it.
But I paid for it and now I'm gonna have to pay for the Sensation ($200.00).......This G2X is officially for sale. with three batteries, a wall charger and a T mobile case. In pristene two day old condition.......cheap. PM if interested
Don't worry! I will write a new post when I get my 5th and 6th ones! j/k
I was frustrated and needed to vent! Most sincerest apology for wasting everybody's time!
Actually I just added a poll to make it not a waste of time!
I just got my third replacement ordered! It's on backorder until the 22nd so we'll see what happens! Hopefully it comes with GB already! Yeah, I know wishful thinking!
The reason this one is going back is because one of my speakers went out!
Frustrating indeed!

I hope the Sensation works out for you. I just bought one at Walmart yesterday and was going to decide whether or not to give it to my wife or keep it and give her the G2X. Needless to say, I can't do anything with it. After playing with it for 30 minutes it got hotter than any other phone I've ever used and then froze. After a reboot it worked for about 15 minutes and the second I opened up the market app it rebooted itself. I called T-Mobile and they can't do anything until the phone is officially released and Wal-Mart doesn't have anymore in stock since they only got 2 to begin with. All of the other local Wal-Marts didn't get any in. My only option is to return it for my money back which I will be doing tomorrow.
Side note: In the 30 minutes I had to play with the Sensation, I already figured out I would have been giving it to my wife. It is not as fast as the G2X and it's clear that Sense 3.0 is bogging it down. The internet browser is also no where near as fast as the G2X. Don't get me wrong, it will be a good upgrade from her MyTouch Slide but it's not a upgrade to the G2X (if you got one without bugs).
I know, I saw your post you dog ha ha! I just wish I didn't love this stupid G2X so much. It's makin' me crazy! I am so on the fence about the Sensation in the first place. I studied up on it before getting the G2X.
Like I've said, I chose the G2X......And it doesn't disappoint at all. Except when it's disappointing. If you know what I mean.
And I love the poll question!! How freakin' funny is that? Is this like in life in general or just about the G2X ha ha!
It's like the guy I was roadraging with yelling out "Shine yer head fer a nickle?" No fair making me laugh when I'm mad!

I don't blame you for giving up on the G2X. If I was in your shoes, I would do the same. I am starting to believe that the ones (like myself) who got bug free G2X's are in the minority and very lucky. To bad you can't hold off until the SGSII variant gets to T-Mobile because I have been reading bad ass things about it.
I know you lucky dog. My daughter is freaking having a field day. She thinks it's funny. Hers is just like yours....bug free. And I've tried to get it to do many of the things mine did. Her wifi is spot on. She has had a couple of reboots.
This is my 5th! They're replacing them now for the Sensation so don't even worry!

Have you deleted all of the bloatware? The only stuff I have done to mine is rooted, deleted bloatware and use SetCPU with the screen off profile. I know it's the bloatware causing some issues because last week I did a factory reset and before I could delete everything, I had the WiFI bug. As soon as I deleted everything it was back to normal.

I've been through four of them myself and I understand the frustration. The 16th is my last day to return this turd - I'll be bringing it back on the 15th and getting a Sensation as well.
So I went to a few stores today that sells att phones. I asked everyone in all 5 of the stores about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, noone even knew about it as if it will be coming out 6 years from now -.- noone knew there was one even coming out let alone the name :/ it kind of makes me sad when the consumer knows more then the sales reps. They should train more in my opinion this was just my little experiance for the day just thought I'd share. Anyone else looking forward to the note lte for att?

Nobody in a provider store is going to have even a small clue about phones they don't already stock, this should not be a shock. And if you're on xda you're a bit above the typical consumer...
There is basically no benefit in knowing about a phone you don't stock yet from a sales perspective. You can't sell what you don't have.

In-store reps definitely don't know anything. Most reps aren't like us and simply don't care. I usually come across some reps who give out good information about upcoming devices. These reps are always over the phone as they have quick access to the database. Try calling about a general question, talk to them for a bit, and when you're about to end the conversation, pop the question.

Ive sold phones for five years in three locations. I can tell you most of us know about phones as soon as they are rumors. As someone said earlier if we don't sell it we really don't care. To be honest if someone asked me about the note I would kinda just try to end it fast unless we were doing pre orders as asking me about a phone I cant sell isn't making me commission. If it is slow though I will talk about announced upcoming phones for quite awhile. Also most consumers walk in and say i want android or iphone not asking specifics

That's understandable. Wouldn't it be better to actually care and inform a consumer of an upcoming device? By informing them of said device, they might wait for it and pay the $200 with the contract. I understand you want to make some money as well but I guess from a personal standpoint I would help the person that cares as much as I do.

If they are techie I will chat with them build rapport and leave them with a business card and an appointment only if the release isn't months away. The average consumer wants what their friend has and even if a better phone comes out tomorrow won't wait.

Though by far my biggest pet peeve at work is the people who say well I saw this was coming out on _________ tech site and I know all about it where is it. Most of those people end up name dropping xda. Kinda like this "well i frequently read xda and it said this and that and they tend to be just plain wrong. I know most of us on xda aren't like that but when you hear it multiple times a week you tend to want to hull smash something end rant ha

I even tried bestbuy lol and the guys words were "our phone tech isn't here today he will be here tomorrow from 12-6" I live 40 mins away from anything so its not in my best choice to go back but anywho I go to the same att retailer when I buy my phones. They know me there and come at me quick because I don't just come in to buy a cheap pantech crossover I'm there with cash in hand and buy phones straight up xD so they are always willing to help. When I went in to buy my Sony xperia play 4g I handed her my iPhone to Bluetooth my contacts, she looked at my iPhone and her exact words were "what the F is this" it was running wp7 xD Haha but in all seriousness I think someone should be hired in the certain area. It'd be like hiring me to sell cars or ovens when I know nothing about them, I feel like they just hire anyone :/ I went to buy a computer once and the worker argued for 30 minutes that 512mb was a gigabyte :/ I shook my head and took my business elsewhere I just don't understand... sometimes I wish everyone cared about a phone as much as we do... instead of "as long as I can listen to music watch YouTube and look at porn, I don't care what it looks like or what it does" :'( I honestly just want to teach everyone for free so I don't feel so smart and dumb at the same time. anyone else feel that way?

I agree. I've perused tablets in Best Buy and after engaging the nearest 'team member' for less than 3 minutes, I realize that I know more than they do.
It's the same experience when going to the auto parts store. There are some people who can carry on informed conversation, but 90% are the type who watch fast & furious movies in awe, and know nothing about repair or maintenance or they can only look up part numbers.
Basically, lower your expectations.
This is why I get mad when I've tried many times to get a job in those kind of places to no avail because I don't seem to have any big time qualifications to my record yet if I go into any outlet store and begin talking about phones, the sales rep looks at me like I'm making up things or shocked I know anything.

I have had similar experience with applying for jobs at auto parts stores. The 'now hiring' sign is displayed for several months and the staff changes about every 3 weeks, but I never get called. For a while there was an older woman who not only knew nothing about cars but she also needed help to use the computer program to look up parts.
I finally realized that these people will work for less money than I will because I actually know what I am doing. It really is sad that people with any level of technical or mechanical ability don't actually work at the retail level because they can't get enough money.
And don't get me started on the people who work at Home Depot . .
I have no past work experiance. I'm 19 years old have been the "bad" kid because I used to be a "black magic" hacker I've gotten introuble from schools best buys and targets because of it but now I'm past all that I do phones tablets anything mobile. There is never a time when I'm in best buy that I'm back in the computer/phone area and usually an older citizen is talking to a sales Rep about which one is better and the sales Rep says well product A is $1299 with 4gb ram touchscreen is way better then product B $899 8gb ram and so on but they go by the price as the sales Rep was walking her to the register I kindly walked up and said "hello ma'am I noticed you were interested in two different so-so" the sales Rep called the manager and had me kicked out for costing him the sale xD but they wont hire me? I have long hair and look like a "druggie" I don't do drugs don't have tattoos or metal on my body but yet they hire people who are clueless

I don't mean to overstep the rules of polite conversation but you may wish to think about your image. It isn't fair that we judge based on looks, but it happens.
*Edit - When I say looks I also means assumptions that people will make of others based on their prejudices. -*End Edit
Most recently, I applied for a job repairing projectors. During the interview they kept asking me about how well I would transition to an office environment. Completely Ridiculous! I would be working in the workshop not the office and I happened to be better dressed than any of my interviewers.
Basically, some people cannot see past their little world or people they can understand.
Man Verizon store by me they don't know anything. And they are jerks as well. Went to upgrade my moms phone and said she wouldn't get unlimited data with her Droid 3 so I just bought it from newegg called up and boom she got her unlimited data. Never going back to that store again. Hate how now you have to bring phone to store to get replaced.

I think HTC are beginning to get worried about the negative press over the One series.
Had a call from HTC customer service today in response to a survey I filled in recently.
Basically I slated them and their response to my support call.
I asked them a specific question about their new Bluetooth audio dongle and they gave me some crap generic response about how not all phones have the same Bluetooth functionality (my request had nothing to do with phones merely the specification of the dongle).
Anyway I didn't pick up because the number was 'unknown' but they left a very detailed message and seemed very keen to get a resolution (apparently ;-)).
What do you reckon? Call back and hurl abuse???

What do you guys do for a living? No company intentionally does things that aren't in the best interest of their customers. Big multi-billion dollar (pound, euro) companies can't turn on a dime. At least in the U.S., my experience with HTC so far has been light years better than Samsung. The fact that HTC sent you a survey (which they pay for) means they do care about what their customers think. And I guarantee you whatever their response is it in no way has anything to do with the *****ing taking place on XDA.

threadstarter si trying to get the attention of HTC for what? the fact that they made the effort to call you back with regards to your survey means that they have good customer service. and you wanted to "hurl abuse?" imo HTC doesnt need customers like you.
If you got time, I'd call back and actually tell them what you didn't like and how they should've handled it.
The fact is that companies like HTC pay these survey companies to study these things, collect customer feedback so that later on HTC can process it and work on improving their image/products.
How efficient that is - that's another debate. But I really think you need to use this opportunity to make your voice heard.
At the very least, you'll feel vented =)

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.

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.
- ooofest
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.

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"

Hello,
I've created this thread and named it appropriately [SANCTUARY] for those users that have previously owned a Desire S (and still may do) and have since moved on to to using another device. Anyone who spent time in this forum may as I've done find life outside it a very tedious place.
This was my first Android device, which I still own (as does my wife), I've always greatly appreciated the attitude in this forum and found it a safe, friendly haven especially when compared along side the chaos and carnage that can be found in the other flag ship device areas! We've been fortunate here and have mostly escaped endless trolls, pointless bickering, needless aggressive sarcasm and have historically required minimal need for moderation.
Many of this forums founding and contributing members have more recently moved on to using a variety of other main stream flagship devices (commonly the HTC One X or SGS 2/3 ) no doubt we will all move in time, but, with endless existing Sense ROMs, recently its first Sense 4.1 ROM being released not forgetting AOSP/CM10/AOKP ICS & JB ROMs still being perfected the device has plenty of life in it yet.
This thread is primarily intended as a place where those people who have moved away from the DS can come to ask questions and receive answers without being crowded out or shouted down as I've found to be the unfortunate general behavior in the mainstream flagship forums which are populated by a great deal more uncivilized users.
This isn't intended to be another [OFF-TOPIC] thread, so please continue to use the standard DS OT thread for that [OFF-TOPIC] Desire S Users Hangout Lounge for that.
EDIT: It appears that the moderators have seen to close all OFF TOPIC threads see their justification here.
If this thread succeeds that it should hopefully be inhabited by a large number of Ex-DS users and therefore users who will have a great deal of DS relevant knowledge, so new DS users are more than welcome to come to ask questions....although primarily I'd prefer the Yes/No type questions only, as if your question requires a lengthy response, its probably worthy of its own thread in the Q&A section (so create a new one - but try searching first!).
As an initial starting point, why not attempt to follow the form of brief introduction (although I reckon this will be mostly unnecessary) and let us know what device you are on now and then any question, statement or recommendation you have...
I'll start off -
Hello, I'm Ben (obviously!)
I'm planning on buying an N4 tomorrow night, I won't be alone there as I believe several other current DS users are planning on doing the same, I'm hoping that this thread can become a the haven for us all!
Ben, as enigmaamit said, you shouldn't jump the gun. Wait for a month (or at least a week) and see if there are any major flaws in the device. Not many devices come out without one, and this is LG

I hear you shrome99, but at that price I'm still jumping ship, when you consider that the N4 is Approx £200 cheaper than the equivalent other flagship devices (ie HTC One X+ or i9305) it will have to be significant issues for me to regret it! (famous last words ) Although I won't be daft enough to sell the DS anytime soon, so if there are issues then I'll still have that, although as foolish as it may be I want to be on board day 1 with a new flagship device for a change (much against my my normal better judgement!).
Makes sense It's been getting glowing reviews from all sites, I'm sure it'll be awesome.
Hello guys! Most of you probably know me or at least recognise the name....
DS was my 1st android device which I loved dearly (and still do) although it has now been sold.
Currently I own a galaxy s2 which even though I've had it only 2 months looks as though it will soon find itself on eBay to make way to get mighty N4! However I plan to hold back a week or 2 after release to get a better picture of the real life use of the phone (all his shiz re thermal throttling has got me spooked!) 99% sure I will be getting it very soon though, just awaiting some user fb from new users..... Ben

Don't fear there are a good few of DS bunch that will be getting on from the start (in sickness and in health!) and we're sure to voice all and any reviews, opinions and concerns!
Don't know if your saw this....

Drool.....Can't wait to order mine, got a buyer lined up already for the S3. I'm going to order the 16gb then pocket the change to take care of a Christmas present for my daughter and the new assassins creed for me
Sent from my Nexus 7
Do I really need to introduce myself? I'm sure that most of the guys/gals (are there any of those) who come to this thread will know me
The DS was also my first smart-phone and I still have it right now. It's a bit scuffed and I've replaced both the touch-screen and the LCD (butter-fingers), but she means a lot to me and I learnt a lot through playing with her. When I got the DS I was looking at several models, but I'm glad I made the choice I did as it meant I met some really good people on here.
As you probably know, I got myself an LG Optimus 4X HD which I am really chuffed with. I know that it is a locked bootloader, but I was actually after a phone to use as a phone and the contract deal was too good to refuse. I will almost certainly be getting myself an N7 + 3G in the near future as I can't root the company one I'm with Eyahl - it may be a treat to myself as I've got the big 40 coming up in a few weeks :silly:
Hello guys!! Tomorrow night or on tuesday morning I´m going to buy the Nexus 4...
Are you going to unlock the bootloader or root the device? I think it´s one of the first things I do so I don´t have to loose all my data later on.

Within hours of getting it un-boxed! Once I've established that its fully functional wifi, mobile data, gps etc then it's time for the unlock followed by root etc....

I suspect that you both deserve a treat! If you want to give me the email/phone number of your significant other/parents then and I'll ensure that they're all aware exactly what you need
O yeah! And Happy Bloody Birthday to you both! :good:
*waves*
I'm here too! Can't wait to get my order in. Anyone got a clue when the UK orders open up?

Hello, Nah, not exactly, in fact that's the exact question that I've been trying to get an answer to myself......I plan on checking at midnight before I crash, (but am sure that will be way too early) and then again at about 7:30-8am on the 14th with my credit card in hand when I figure they'll be open for business :fingers-crossed:
Let me know via this thread if you get any update......or have any suspicions.
Hey people!
Eagerly waiting for the beast, totally committed to buying on day 1. I won't be selling the DS though, for several reasons. I actually need a device I can splash android 2.3-4.1.1 with to test my apps.
So this will be my main stop thread in a short while...
Thanks Ben!

Cheers guys! Yep it would be epic..... I've also got black ops 2 happening on the same day! It's all happening at once!
On another note: has anyone found any sellers for cases/screen protectors, yet for the n4? A lot like me will be keen to get both pretty soon. Preferably on the same day as receiving the device
