I own the only AT&T Touch Pro I know of :O

Haha, this is all over google when I search "AT&T Touch Pro"... Oooh I'm big time now!
Update: Phone is legit, despite what engadget tries to say. Does work on AT&T 3G/HSDPA with no issues.
-----------------------------------------------------
I own the only AT&T Touch Pro I've ever seen, US version that works on 3G over here!
...I did pay $900 for it though.
I'll probably feel stupid when I realize it has half the specs of the Euro version... But whatever, what I can't fix with cooked ROMs I'll deal with. Having it sooner is worth it to me.

How's picture/camera/flash quality man?

It comes in the mail on Tuesday, and you can bet I'll have a full review of it then. Might even post a view pictures/videos on here for ya.

Please please please!!! I can't wait to here what you think!

Well, at least this is some consolation to those AT&T users who want one... It IS coming, and it can't be long since there's already a working version out there! Sit tight guys!

Very nice, but I wouldn't pay that much for a phone. Congrats none the less!

Oh, and I just got $700 yesterday for graduating college... Many relatives can be a benefit at times. ;-)

For $100 you can browse 1 web page for 2 minutes, for $150 you can make a 5 minute call as well. Hah ;-)

lol, he drives a hard bargin

I can't wait for it to come, so I can see it's actually for real... Only thing that sucks, there won't be much tech support available. ;-)

the only thing i dont dig about it is that the Dpad is on the right side and I use the stylus with the right hand with my 6800 and the dpad with the left. I do alot of copy and pasting (which you can't do with the iphone lol) but im sure i will get used to it.
I have dropped my 6800 and it needs to be replaced so im going to try to get sprint to exchange it. I know im gonna have to haggle with em but hey....its worth it.

That doesn't bother me as much, but the thing that bugs me is that the 5 row keyboard is changed so the numbers aren't on top. I loved the idea that it had the same layout as a PC keyboard.

I know what you mean, but I'm more then sure you'll be able to re-train yourself. It's the same thing I went to when I went from the PPC-6700 to the PPC-6800. No idea why they switch everything around and the 1st couple of day it was annoying, but with anything, after a certain period of time I got used to it and was able to use it without going back to the old habit.

That does seem weird that they changed the numbers around.. I thought one of the selling points was that you could type just like on a computer. Oh well, hopefully it's just the AT&T version where they did this.

what's up with the keyboard doesn't look like anything from the htc site, hopefully att hasn't gone and tried to jazz things up their own way. The default keyboard for the touch pro is nice, with the single function digits on the top row.
The only thing that annoyed me with the touch pro from looking at from the images were that the pickup, hangup buttons and the home, back buttons should be switched or to be extended. Extending allow the user to comfortably press those buttons easily and not have accidental hangups when pressed against their face.
btw: op, congrats on the phone.

no AT&T Branding...thats weird...you sure it will work with 3g on AT&T? it would suck if you paid that much and only got GSM Service. Im waiting to see if EU versions can be flashed to work 3g with AT&T

Flexi Rubber Clear case by AccessoryOne 99Cents

I don't work for them...I got mine in the mail today and IMO for 99cents i am past impressed. So I did a video to show you guys.
http://youtu.be/Dog_DpsR7uk
I don't like the power button issue as I can NOT even wake my phone..so it becomes useless.

Dude, I need the text notification ASAP.
Also, I got two of these for me and my wife and had the same issue. I ended up just cutting the area out.

That's the same one I ordered. Same place, same seller. That sucks.
But to the other guy above..That stuff off Ebay is from Hong Kong. No way am I waiting a month for an order. lol

Looks nice, but I'm gonna wait to see what Trident has to offer before getting one of these.

I got it from uk and it took 4 days to come here. There are also USA sellers on eBay not just from hongkong.

There aren't honestly..They say they are but as soon as I purchase from them they say [email protected] for example..they lie to make people order because most Americans won't order from Hong Kong and wait 2 weeks for an order.

Since I been using this my screen has started going nuts. Doesn't read touch at times when trying to unlock the screen. New one should be here today.

Invisible shield for galaxy s2 is compatible with our galaxy r

Hello, I'm new on the forums, greetings from Spain. Please excuse me for my English.
With the title I have said almost everything In my country is very difficult to find the invisible shield for i9103 so I decided to take the risk and ordered the one for sgs2 thinking about cutting it to make it fit, but It wasn't even necessary, it fits almost perfectly.
So if some of you had this question this is the answer

dont u face problem with home button size, there is big difference in size of sgr and gs2 home buttons.

Not really, it's only slightly overlapped at left and right sides, but not on the button itself, but on the frame of the button. I am speaking of less than one mm so it doesn't bother at all.
I had had this kind of protection in many gadgets and maybe it's not the best one, but is the best I've managed to find. As disadvantages I can mention that it's not suitable for stylus (I think that it isn't very important in this phone), some people may not like the "orange peel" look and with the time, the corners tend to spoil and to unstuck. As advantages, it improves the finger response, greatly improves the slide of them over the surface and, also, is the best thing I've found to "cure" scratches (it really seems to make them disappear when they are already there), it's very easy to install and relatively reusable.
The material is hard but somehow strange because it can stand some really hard damages of a certain type but sometimes, a different type of damage, not hard at all leaves its mark.
I'd like gorilla glass on this phone . Do you know if the screen alone is resistant enough? On my phone, about one week after buying it, it started to show some strange circle marks, not scratches, like color changes... I swear it hasn't been my fault, I keep it like a baby . Today I have found another new circle, they look like if you have polished the circumference. Maybe it's like the UFO happenings in wheat fields
Seriously is there any other case? Do you think that I should take it to the tech service and that they will believe me?
Thanks very much.

Is your Phone growing a beard??

My HTC One S has started doing something very weird since Friday... Randomly started doing it after restarting my phone in the morning. I've done everything in the book I could think of...
Here is a couple video's I've taken (with my old Iphone 3gs)
Is anybody experiencing such issues?

The store was closed when I went yesterday, but I did get on the phone with support and they got another on the way already. unfortunately it's not certain the replacement will be new, may be a refurbished. The lady over the phone couldn't say for sure what it would be. (of course this is the same person that said "can you take your battery out for me and tell me if the sticker is red?")
I'm really curious to see if I'm the only one with that problem

There is only one solution.

I really wish I could use that shaver, my screen is only getting worst every morning, seems that when I don't use it for some hours it gets worst and thicker. This morning the bottom half was just completely grayed out to the point I couldnt even see any of the icons. it thinned out after I locked and unlocked the screen few times to where I can see stuff again but still with that layer.

To me is sounds a little like the LCD (not digitizer) screen is coming loose. I am no expert, but no matter what I would send it back before opening it if there is any chance of getting it warranty repaired or replaced.

the screen seems on nice and tight, if anything it be a loose wire but it gets real thick last couple mornings then if I restart it couple times and play with lock unlock the screen it'll thin back out to where I can see the bottom half again... which is kinda random.

I do have an exchange phone coming in.

Really bummed about it because I really wanna like this phone and granted I really do do like it... For me coming from an iPhone (which being a pc user it pains me to say is a darn good solid phone) I think this thing actually holds its own... But this screen issue is not looking too positive so far

here is what the old one been doing since friday tho

and since I didn't have my new phone till last night and yet still had to make calls and text messages, can't tell how much of a pain in the ass this been.
question tho... was your rooted then relocked when you sent it back?? I relocked mine and ran the RUU but it won't do the update which I find kind of weird. I think getting the replacement is the easy part... what worries me is what they try to say after send the old one back, I have babied this phone so much and granted I know it's hardware problem for sure, I just don't want to give them a reason to even try and say it's my fault. I already paid nearly full price for the old one... I'd be one pissed off basterd if they try to make me pay it again

Craigslist Note 5-- Spengate victim

Picked up a T-mo note 5 on CL. Looked great; all features I could think to test were good. IMEI# check out as good mostly., I just didn't think to test the spen detection in the holder. It's broke. Dumbass must have inserted the pen backwards and yanked it out
Anyways I picked up all the tools I need to safely open the note 5 and see what I can do with the broken sensor; figured I'd keep this thread updated with my progress on fixing.

Anyways I picked up all the tools I need to safely open the note 5 and see what I can do with the broken sensor; figured I'd keep this thread updated with my progress on fixing.

You think a t-mobile store will fix a Note 5 I got on Craigslist?

The phone just came out and no matter where you got it there is still a factory warranty of a year

Alright, I'll go to a store and see if they can fix first. Thanks.

Should I return to stock first? I'm on a custom rom.

I would. One less thing for them to deny you saying that you messed with your phone.

I wouldn't try a store, I would wait a week until tmo updates their system and sees that's the phone you hit and then call 611 and tell them the problem with NO mention of where you got the phone unless they ask and even then you can just say it was a present or something.
They don't like it when you don't buy phone off them and use Craigslist instead.

Like ThC23 recommended, I called 611 and they asked me when I bought the device, and I just said "IDK it was a gift." they asked me when the problem started and I said "IDK, it just never worked"
Tmo connected me to Samsung and they gave me an RMA number. I'm sending them my note 5.
Thanks for all your help guys. It's kinda a pitty though, I was looking fwd to taking it apart a bit lol.
Glad I didn't put my Note 4 on sale just yet. Looks like I'll be using it again for a few days.

So samsung didn't do anything to fix it, and they are just mailing it back to me. Looks like the A-hole who sold it to me lied (surprise surprise) the IMEI number has been changed, so samsung won't replace it.
So I'll be going back with my original plan of trying to fix it myself. I wish I could find that broken plastic lever that must have broken, online. but who knows. Maybe it's not working for another reason. There is at least one video where the guy takes Note 5 apart and shows us where it broke, but it just happens to work when he puts it back together, even though he didn't rly do anything to it besides remove the broken of bit off plastic that was preventing the sensor from moving.

As sad as this is, it just reminds us that buying off CL is not always a good idea. I feel for you. ?

It's crazy what people will do to get over on someone.

My friend bought an S6 for $500 on CL. Seller reported it as stolen, IMEI was blacklisted. She had to pay $70 for a new IMEI.

I used to sell on Craigslist, but I wouldn't do anything unless it was in place that had a police substation.

Any progress buddy ?

yeah it's still taken apart cause my soldering iron is not meant for these tiny tiny components, but I have not given up. I actually got the spen detection working for a few minutes and it quit working, so I'm on the right track I just need to get better at the soldering. maybe I should stop by radio shack.
as for that plug I broke, i don't know what it does. I did a half assed soldering job and I got the note 5 back together to see what is not working and all I see is the lights on the front buttons don't light up. If that's all that that blue cable does I might not care...
does anyone know what this blue cable does?

it's on the bottom right of the image
Update: Spen detection sensor fixed!! hopefully it stays fixed this time.
Now I want to get that blue cable figured out. I suppose I could just quit and not have my front buttons light up. not much of a loss there.
--looks like its the gps cable.
-- no def not the GPS cable. GPS works fine.
-- finger print sensor gives an error. I bet it's just power going to the front buttons. weird thing is the lights on the buttons flickers with a vibration once when the phone boots up/.
