I know it's quite some time later... But I'm making more. If people are interested, message me and let me know~ I'm willing to make them on demand. Otherwise I'll be making a couple when I get the time.

It was promotional stuff from when Best Buy was releasing the HTC Aria. I dont think you can get them anymore, but I have a couple of ones

20 bucks for a keychain and a sticker?
Not buying that...

it looks the best imo though.

Blinking
I would love to see one that has the blinking light. Like the car fresheners or antennas we used to use before all these touch screens and apps. I liked that! I had a really cool blue one for my V550! But since we have no external antenna a dangler would have to do!

That would be pretty awesome i would rock one

Galaxy S Road SMS KB

OMG, I saw this video on that new app for the Galaxy S.
Is there a way to port it to the EVO?
Road SMS KB App on Galaxy S

saw it too, pretty sweet im def interested

Now thats an Interesting feature....

In for this.

That is brilliant.

That is sweet!!!

guessing its just goinna be an apk, direct install, but you never know..

that is sweet, we will have it before you know it. it will just be an apk I assume

Better yet, can we get it as a live wallpaper?

that app is cool. such a simple yet brilliant idea.

I like and wouldn't mind having it on our phone. BUT, when I text, I don't hold my phone in front of me. I usually have it down a bit lol. None the less I wouldn't mind seeing it on our phone

is ther ea keyboard like that in the market with just clear buttons, I would love to have that.

This is gonna drain battery like crazy, isn't it?

You'd have to get a second battery just to get through the day.

Pretty [email protected] cool feature if you ask me.
Hopefully this will reduce the number of wrecks-while-texting, but then again I think to myself; "How many people will actually own this phone AND use this feature"

I think its meant to be used while driving so you can hold the phone up and still keep an eye on the road. Thats the only time that I'd ever use it. I dont text and drive often....but it sure would be helpful those times that I do it.
I'd be safer if I just called them though, LOL

Samsung clarified that it is for pedestrians. Could you imagine the **** storm if they were encouraging driving and texting in any way?

Awesome!
Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some jerk that hit my car because he thought he could see the road in front of him using the Road SMS app lol

Unfortunately something tells me that what was once thought to be a good idea on Samsung's part, will eventually lead to lawsuits because of ignorant people

[Q] ATT Motherboard into Verizon Phone

I have a verizon gs3, but would like to go to att. I found a guy selling his cracked and beat up att gs3 for 100. Wondering if I can just switch out motherbaords as the take apart videos it seems quite easy. Would this work? Thank you for any help!

Has no one ever done this yet? I've seen some post about people asking about it but in the end they just did something else.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. You're basically taking the goods from your phone and swapping the internals to at&t.

Thats what I keep reading...but no one has actually done it. I just have to drive half an hour to go pick it up and don't want to if its going to be a waste of my time.

Well, if you're careful with everything, I think it couldn't hurt. If it doesn't work, you could resell for parts. Look for a teardown video for the s3, then put it back together with the motherboard of the other device. If it works, then you can always post that it does and be a first. Might wanna record yourself doing it in case it does work so people can watch it happen and try for themselves. Just don't upload if you can't get it to work.

Damn it...I honestly had no intentions of doing this until I read the above 2 post haha. I have finals coming up and I'm about to waste my time doing this. I'll upload a video soon working or not haha.

So Any Luck? I've Been Wondering About This. Let Us Know How It Went.

[Q] How to check if Nexus 5 is legit? (real or fake)

Okay, so this is a strange question, but I think that it is worth asking. Are there such things as "fake" Nexus 5's out there? I've heard of all the fake Galaxys out there, but I've never heard of a fake Nexus yet. I'm asking because I am set to buy a white one off of Craigslist tomorrow for $200 and due to my inexperience with this device I figured I'd ask my peers here at XDA. And if you have any hints or tips of what to look for before I buy it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!
If you think it would help I can post or PM a link.

I've never heard of a fake nexus 5, and I doubt what you're about to buy is a fake. That said, even the fake devices (iPhone, Galaxy, etc...) out there are obviously fake, and if you've seen a real one in person, you'll be able to tell. If you're that concerned, just download a system/hardware info app and it'll tell you exactly what hardware you have. I just looked in the play store and found this one- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dama.hardwareinfo
Anyway, I seriously doubt you have anything to sorry about. Post the link.

Thanks!

Cool, like I said I'm kind of foreign to this device so I didn't know if it was even a possibility so I thought that I had better ask before I "waste" 200 bucks on this thing. I've actually never seen a Nexus 5 in person lol but I like the idea of owning a straight up Google device for many reasons. Anyways thanks a ton for getting back to me on this subject... I was at a loss. The other thing I thought of doing is running the IMEI through a site I found www.IMEI.info. I tested it on my Atrix HD a little while ago and it seemed pretty accurate.

Yeah, it looks legit. Honestly man, you have nothing to worry about. I actually find the concept of a kirf nexus to be pretty humerous. The only real concern is if it's stolen or not but since the ad says it was purchased from the play store, ask them to bring a proof of purchase. I've done that for people before. And ALWAYS put your SIM card in and test it before letting them walk away with your money.
All that said, you're buying an amazing device and you're going to love it. I buy a new phone every few months, and even though I have a 2014 Moto X and an iPhone 6, I still use my N5 regularly. I don't think I've ever kept/used a smartphone past the year mark before, but the N5 is really something special. So yeah, you're gonna be real happy with it.

That's awesome man and thanks again for all of your help. Its really assuring since it seems you're like me with these android devices lol. None of mine have ever lasted more than 6 months before I'm ready to sell one and start rooting and flashing away on something new. And I've always lurked all the forums on here so I knew where to come for such an off key question. Plus it gave me a good reason to look in the N5 development section

Hey no prob bud, happy to help. I think we have a problem lol, I don't know how people can keep a smartphone for 2 years, seems crazy to me. I just got the Moto X and iPhone a couple months ago and I'm already planning on buying the Saygus V2. I will say this though, when the N5 does finally retire, I absolutely will not sell it. It's gonna go in the museum. There's just something about it that makes me want to hang on to it forever. I feel like this is most "nexus" of all the nexus phones. Does that make any sense??? Lol

Haha, I wouldn't say we have a problem, but my ex certainly would and has said that. And I definitely don't know how someone could make it 2 yrs, I always do prepaid monthly stuff (atm, Cricket) so it makes it really easy to "flip phones" on Craigslist and keep things interesting for myself. I honestly change so much that I always forget to change what devices I'm using until well after they are gone lol. And WOW, that was the first I've heard of that Saygus so I looked it up and yeah.. I'm speechless. Anyways, this Nexus 5 does seem like the most Googlesque Nexus so far but I've only tinkered with its predecessors. The closest I've come to owning one otherwise was last Winter when I bought an AT&T Optimus G and I LOVED it so I now I really can't wait to swoop up my N5 in a few hours. Anyways... I'm sure I'll see ya around in the forums and if you have any advice on some fun stable ROMS plz PM with me the info.

Why fake a old and cheap device?

I don't know? Maybe bc there's s million fake S4's out there on craigslist and that's an even older and cheaper phone lol... Why ask why?
Anyways, I picked it up earlier and used the Nexus 5 info app and everything is good.. Even under warranty still! I can't keep my hands off the thing, I love it!

Ha, battery life is not as bad as I expected to be honest. I read a lot about the device before I even thought about buying one and from the reviews I read on multiple sites I was kind of worried that it would be TERRIBLE. But actually not too bad considering that I haven't let the screen turn off much since I picked it up earlier. I also expected worse battery life from the sheer performance of this phone.. it is LIGHTNING fast compared to my old G2 and especially my Atrix HD. Tomorrow I'll post a SS of a normal days battery stats if you'd like.

Glad you like it man, it's an AMAZING device. Any plans on how you're going to mod it? I'm keeping mine on stock KitKat and use Xposed modules to customize it to my liking. I don't know how you feel about Lollipop, but I prefer KitKat by a wide margin.

Yeah really is a fantastic device.. It doesn't really compare to any of the many I've owned! As far as development goes and versions of android, I'm kind of up in the air. I'm not even sure if I want to root it yet(I've only unlocked bootloader so far). I love the look of the official Lollipoop lol but it sounds like ppl say it is WAY harder on the battery life and I think they may be right. I was thinking about just down grading back to KK, but I'm leaning more towards rooting it and flashing a stable KK custom ROM and just theme it to Lollipoop. Got any insight for me on all this?

I don't even do custom ROMs anymore, I'm all about stock. All three of my devices are running stock KitKat, though my N7 does have a custom kernel. I use Xposed for any little features or minor theming I do. I'm sure there are a bunch of great ROMs out there (I used to be a massive fan of anything Scrosler put out), but for me nothing beats the dependability of stock.

That's my thought exactly!
Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.

Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.

If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.

bought one...can't wait to use it

I was thinking this too, make a big sale wave in the phone market, grab attention, and build up more users...

I wonder how long it will take to ship? Hoping to get mine by the end of next week for a trip. Looking forward to playing around with it

@antmunny & @rambleon84, let us know when you get it, how you like it.

@DoR3M3: Thanks for posting that deal! I can't wait to see how well it works with Android P. They may well be clearing the shelves for new and improved items!

I managed to snag one of these literally minutes before the sale ended. Bought it, went back to the page 30 minutes later and it was back up to $49. Can't wait to get it, may need to get a different case though.
