Hello, some just offered me to buy motorola atrix 2 but it is demo set. I just want to know what is the difference between demo set and normal set? And should i bought it?
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
What a demo set usually refers to is a handset uses for demoing the product. So the demo handset could have been used in a store for display and for buyers to look at. Hardware-wise they should be identical to other ATRIX 2 handsets.
Lastly see the price difference between the demo and the other retail handsets. Demo ones are usually used for a while. Go look at it in person if possible.

Okayy, im just curious. Because xperia z demo set and retail set use different hardware. Maybe something different for this phone too. Thanks.

If you can get a hands on, turn off the device, press and hold the power button + vol down buttons until screen shows up. if it says (NS) surely buy it probably trade it with some dev nearby.. if it says (S) well, dont worry and just buy it..

This has been known for a while .
I don't see this being a problem for very long especially on htc, considering that phones like the holiday will more then likely have international "brothers/sisters", that means there will be dev support worldwide working to break open a phones boot loader. I would assume the only reason it hasn't been done to the atrix, is because honestly the phone is a flop. Blur put a bad taste in everyones mouth and not alot of people want to mess with moto.
If you hit up other htc phone boards here on xda there are literally hundreds of developers working on htc phones. I have said it before where there is a will there is a way.
Atrix is no flop
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Locked bootloaders do much harm to the phones' sales. I like the sense rom but the default stock one comes with a lot of bloat and poor battery performance. I flashed the dilligaf's V2 rom and my phone now flies. When the manufacturers cannot unleash the full potential of the phone, why the hell do they have to lock their bootloaders for?

HAHAHA! That's funny sh*t.
Anyways... If the manufacturers and Phone companies would actually leave the phones open, we wouldn't have this issue.
It wouldn't be too hard for them to do...build a recovery image right into the phone. If something screws up, they is a keypress sequence that would force install factory firmware. Bam...No more brick, and start over. I know I have reference the PSP in several other posts, but they did it right. Maybe the phone manufacturers should take a hint.
There is a PSP dev that goes by Dark_Alex... He created the "Despertar del Cementerio." This translates to "Wake the Dead." This was a service battery and memory stick combo that would literally UNBRICK your PSP. I actually have one, and have purposely killed the power during a firmware update to test it. And it works! Anyways, the point is...this is VERY possible with these phones, no one has done it yet tho.

Haha, I LOLed at work when I read this.
ATT seems to have something to do with this. If I hadn't been able to root my inspire I'd probably have returned it. Too much bloat. Bloated on a phone like that males it even worse (also I never liked MOTO)
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Well if its not rootable and cannot access recovery,then I don't bother. I was walking thru fryys when I saw the inspire and knew I had to get it. Trading my sgs vibrant+$150 for a new inspire sounded great to me. But I didn't think if the bootloader was unlocked or not. Luckily,it was. I got Lucky on this one

That's going to suck if they actually ban our device.
It is not banning "our" device. If it happens, still a long shot, it will not really affect current users. They will not take your phone from you. Carriers will just have to stop selling, which probably still means they can deplete their current inventory as they have already been purchased from Samsung.

Look at it like this if they are ban from selling ,then the value if our device will go up due to the fact that u can't buy from the store anymore.
I wasn't meaning it as a problem for people with the device currently, I meant to say that I have a lot of friends my age looking and seeing all the things I do with my phone. They're all saving up to buy them and if they ban the T989 then my friends won't be able to purchase via stores.
Sammy's guys are much more smart than apple developers, we will be resting while Sammy is creating the champion phones they always have. Apple complaint about similarities. Sammy is not going to make similar phones to apple smartphone in theory. But if apple revolutionizes everything to be more convenient then Samsung must use power instead of convenience. If apple is commercial, Samsung must be the people's phone, easy enough? If apple make fast phones Samsung should be elegant or if apple makes the stable phone then same should make the surprising phone. If apple wants all the money then Samsung should have more interest in phones and their appearance for the better of the lawsuits and a efficient resolution to forward production in the next line of phones.

Walmart has them on sale for 99.98 when you add a new line.. as seen yesterday when I got me pups sum food...and they have the s3 for 179.98. Someone posted in another thread that they have the s2 for 179.99 at Sams club full price. So who knows

Hey guys, just wanted to open a thread regarding the Samsung stores @local best buys in the us.
Went into a store today to buy ink and stumbled upon a Samsung rep setting up the mini store. Had a quick conversation with him.
He let me hold the s4 and we had a quick chat about the phone. Apparently he had a s600 s4, but it was not carrier branded. He wouldn't let me take a picture of it though.
Love the design of it and it was very comfortable to hold in the hand, since it didn't have that security thing attached.
Anyways, just thought I'd share this, so you guys can keep a lookout at your local best buy.

i wonder if this means we might be able to line up outside a bestbuy to get an international s4, instead of relying on importing from uk websites like Clove .. I'd definitely be one of the ones who camp out overnight!

Unless they got someone from corporate setting up, I doubt it. But if they do, just casually ask about the release date, and hope they're willing to show you.

Yeah, I was lucky to even hold it. I didn't wanna overstep his generosity, so I just held it, and checked out the screen and the design of it.
And it was the black version, but it was in a window flip cover.

I have two P6800s one for me and one for she who must be obeyed and both are fantastic devices. i believe it is one of the more flexible for use devices on the market. I sourced both of mine from http://www.onthegosolutions.com/. If there are any available that is another source. just looked at the website and he shows 699.00 for a new one. Over the years have bought about 8 different phones and never had a problem. Best of luck finding what you want. BTW i use 64 g cards in both so have plenty of memory and storage.

Hello, I saw this and I think that Sony are making a new smartwatch and it could be announced at the CES.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/24/sony-wrist-notifier-bt-fcc/?ncid=rss_truncated
And the worst thing is that I just recently bought SW2
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
yeah, read it on talkandroid, wonder if it's really a watch or something completely different
Some are guessing it could be a fitness device to compete with fit bit and Nike fuel bands
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I really hope it will be some kind of Nike Fuel band or a bracelet with a small LCD screen to show notifications with icons... I'm saying this because i've bought a SW2 for christmas so I hope that Sony will stick up with this for updates in the next months. And IMHO Sony Mobile should advertise a lot more its products.
I just got mine a month ago but I'd like to see a new one with a speaker/mic for calls and texts via google now, that would be the perfect one to me
I am hoping that the next watch to have Google now, and a better higher res screen and possible running android as than It would be fast as at the moment it sometimes takes 5 seconds to open an app

Well, given the several iterations higher model number, the new watch could be their Galaxy Gear competitor with a price tag to match, ie their flagship/highend watch, and the SW2 will be their mid-line watch.
I hope too will be a Nike fuel thing. Not because I have bought the sw2 but I need a freaking pedometer that just works and can show phone notifications.

Now that CES is right around the corner with the expectations of new smartwatches being announced by Archos.,Cockoo, Samsung (Gear 2) etc,. SONY might just announce the SW3. After all they would not want to be behind the competition. Now they also have a pretty good idea about how Samsung perceives a smartwatch. But what SONY should do is improve upon the software rather than coming up for a new device.
Which is sad for me as I recently purchased mine (about a month ago) like many of you.
But lets see what CES brings us. I am actually quite curious about the Archos offering as it is expected to be a low cost (even lower than Pebble) smartwatch.
Pebble Steel looks nice, but only at a discounted price.

I wonder what SONY is planning to do with many new smartwatches being announced. They should respond either with a new product or a stellar firmware upgrade to SW2. Otherwise competition is getting tougher each day.

Meta from metawatch seems pretty good looks wise. A week battery life is a plus too. I don't really care for a color display. If the software side is good and the price isn't ridiculous, I would seriously consider it.
