Hiring a Professional Tech to deGoogle My Phone - General Questions and Answers

Where can I look to hire someone to deGoogle my phone?
I've tried an open internet search, with no luck.
There's a guy with a YouTube channel, that "sometimes" does it; but, I think it's risky.
*I bought some "unlocked" off-brand phones from China, with good specs; but, no history or reputation. I also don't currently have a laptop.
I have six phones, from the same company, and would like to pay someone to look at one of them, and tell me what's possible, after rooting it for me. I simply don't have time to do it all myself.

you thought wrong.you are HelplessEver now...
soRry
do you now a funn and good quality game
Yeah! Return to the Mysterious Island - a very good game. You should definitely buy it!!!
do you hate me serius
Stop encouraging this guy by keeping his thread alive!!
Seriously, bestever, someone spent a lot of time and energy to create that game. Go buy it and show the programmer a little appreciation, rather than finding a cracked version and, basically, stealing.
How would you feel if you spent hours and hours and days and days writing a book, and you find a publisher and spend even more time - and lots of money, too - getting the book published, and as soon as it finds its way to the shelves, someone buys one, makes a gajillion photocopies of it, and started giving it free to everyone who asked. Suddenly you're not selling a single book - because everyone's getting it for free.
Wouldn't you be mad?
Seriously. Go buy the game if you like it that much.
You are joking, right?
I really find interesting everybody's opinion here, especially when considering the fact that all posts belong to a forum which is well known for it's illegal roms...
So, if I want a WM6 device I should buy one right? I shouldn't upgrade my old WM5 device, as by doing this I am not respecting the authors (aka programmers) of the new OS nor the producers (aka manufacturers) of the new devices. And they don't make profit anymore, as I don't have to buy a new device, since my old is upgraded. For example, my old Prophet runs on EXACTLY the same hardware as the Elf. But I don't have to buy the Elf anymore. Is that what your are telling us?
Great. Let's shut down this forum
The truth is that games & software are way too expensive. If they kept the prices in reasonable limits then we wouldn't consider cracking them...
i think booth have right in somewais
sorry for bad english

Actually, there's a difference here. If "bestever" wanted to get a copy of the game with developing in mind - maybe create a new game based on the same engine or something - then there wouldn't be a problem. This is xda-developers.com, where people collaborate to develop new software solutions for our smartphones and pdaphones. The developers post their creations so that the masses can download, install, and essentially beta-test them. It's an intellectual exercise, and if a few people just download WM6 (for example) just for their own personal use, that's okay, the developers here don't seem to mind.
The game in question, however, was designed and is marketed as for-profit. The developer spent a lot of time and energy creating that software. If he spent a total of 40 work hours programming, editing, compiling, testing, reprogramming, and fixing bugs in this game and sold it for 20 bucks, he's making 50 cents an hour. He'd have to sell 15 copies just to hit minimum wage.
If bestever wanted to get a copy of the game to use it as a template to design his own, that's fine. At least with me. But he just doesn't want to pay for it. There's a word for that - "stealing".
On top of all that, the programmer of the game in question is not a bloodsucking monopolistic corporation worth billions of dollars and doing everything possible to squeeze every last red cent they can out of the average Earth-dweller. Whatever issues I may have with people and their illegal software downloads comes to a halt when I reach Microsoft. I don't like them, I don't like the way they do business, and I think they deserve what they get. The only reasons I use Windows PCs is because they're industry standard anymore, and I grew up using them long before I developed any sense of politics - I started at age 6 with Win3.1. The only reasons I use a Windows Mobile device is because of the huge third party app support, vastly superior abilities compared to your garden-variety cell phone, and the prohibitive cost (and lack of third party support) behind the iPhone.
If the developer of the game wanted it to be free, he'd be distributing it freely. If you like the game that much, show the developer some support and PAY FOR THE GAME. Otherwise, the game might not even exist.
I won't argue with you that the cost of games and software is way too expensive. I don't want to pay over 200 bucks for an operating system for my computer, but I don't know crap about Linux, whereas I'm very proficient in Windows (2k, XP, 2k3S, etc.) But here's the rub, and in order to be properly understood you have to be completely honest with yourself. If money wasn't a problem, if instead of making 25k/year you were making 250k/year, would you still be cracking software, or would you be buying it?
Alright guys. Let's all take a deep breath here. The age-old question of warez, and cracks and hacks won't get answered here.
If there are any moderators in sight, please delete this thread, It is totally off-topic, and should never have been allowed to propagate.
sorry for starting this

I might be completely wrong in what I am about to say, but you are asking for something free that normally isn't. This sort of constitutes warez or hacking and I don't think you should be asking for those things in the forum. If this is the case, consider this a warning as these kinds of requests are not tolerated in this site. If you are not, please forgive me.
At the risk of appearing like a complete fool, what is HTC World service access

Wow....there's my word for the day Some kinda premium support membership I'm guessing. There's no mention of it on the HTC website either. So then again....maybe not. What is it?
HTC World service access, web sites like this http://htcscm10.htc.com.tw/SDO/, https://rma.htc.com.tw/rmaiii/home/index.asp or this http://xlearning.htc.com/eHRD/. All officially rom's come from this sites, in any language/version etc. Also you can find very interesting and usefull tools for HTC devices like unbrickers, unlocker, maybe IMEI tool, service manuals, documents for new devices etc. People who're selling this accounts, maybe they get it on illegal ways, stealing, phishing and they "earn" good money for that. egzthunder1, mate you're right I'm asking if somebody can share account for educational purposes, not warez (warez is usual thing in my coutry. It's because pay in my coutry are below standard ).

OK I know what is meant now. We have to have a co-operative relationship with HTC, being as we exist as a set of developer forums for their devices. For this reason, not to mention that hacking is illegal, there is no way we can publish or even discuss hacked access to these sites. Selling access as you say someone is, is doubly illegal and I'm surprised it is done in a prominent place.

Cell Phone Programming Classes

hey guys,
i've been looking online this morning for classes where i can learn how to do cell phone programming and modification. i haven't had much luck though. most of the results either bring me back to XDA or a similar website, or they take me to a site that is just trying to sell me something that is cell phone or computer related. so i guess my question is: what exactly is this field or line of work called? i've been looking under computer programming, cell phone programming, cell phone modification, smart phone programming, and smart phone modification, all with "classes" at the end, of course. can someone help me out with this? i know it probably sounds like a dumb question, but i'm just having no luck bring back any "course related" results in my search. like i said, it just produces results for websites like this one, o retail websites. i'd love to get into this field of work. i have been customizing my phone (HTC Tilt/Kaiser/Tytn, etc) which i have an extra one of to test on thanks to my lovely wife, and i have been enjoying it very much. trying new ROMs, making some feeble attempts at cooking ROMs, and checking out all the software that is available for my phone. i have been enjoying it so much that i would like to take some courses on the subject and start a carreer in this field! my wife can't seem to drag me away from the computer, and when she does, i've got my phone. we figure that if i like it this much, i should take some courses and get paid to do this kind of stuff 8 hours a day. then it wouldn't take up quite so much time at home. anyway, i'm rambling now, so if anyone could give me some more ideas on what exactly to search for or what this line of work is called, it would aid me in trying to find a place locally that offers some classes on the subject. thank you in advance for any help that you folks can provide me with. by the way, i'm in the DFW (TX, US) area, if any local folks happen to be reading and could point me in the right direction. for the moment, i'm interested in campus classes or online classes, doesn't make much difference at the moment. i would like to see what each has to offer for the time being, and money will be an issue, as things are pretty tight right now financially. Thanks again!

Hi,
I think you will need to learn by searching and looking. These videos will help you http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/bb495180.aspx
Classes for small electronics / cellphone programming
Hi my name is Mark and I am a technical manager at SuperRey's Exotics and my team and myself inlcuded have studied at Stevens Tech in Hoboken, N.J. not sure how serious and how far away you are but Stevens has an extensive technology program, really indepth in fact many large corporations like Sharp, Apple, HTC, Exxon, Motorola and many others hire techs directly from Stevens Tech. However at Stevens it is really indepth stuff and they work on, not only new invetions but many patents actually come from the technology that Stevens does. I hope this helped you a little. And at SuperRey's we apply that knowledge for new inventions, cell phone repair and reprogramming and all kind of crazy stuff that we do, if your into it you will have alot of fun with that kind of technology. Good luck.

Question about apps

it' s possible, with some modifications, install free apps that are not free?
Yes or Not?
Warez???
Let me see if I can't answer your question & help you out here.
If I have this straight, you are wondering if there is a way to take "Paid" apps & install & use them for free?
You want to reverse engineer a program that was written by a developer that maybe learned what he knows here or contributes by helping others here & then create a key generator or a crack type patch to avoid spending 0.49 to $5.00, half the price it would cost an iPhone user for the same app thanks to developer collaboration & the Open Source Framework & SDK, effectively stealing from the app creator & taking away from him or her their livelihood & the means by which they support their family.
Furthermore, you are asking for this information at a website that was founded by developers, made for developers & run by developers, many of whom make a living by writting paid versions of the software you are inquiring about pirating.
Am I summing it up pretty well so far?
So, If you are a baker & I came into your bakery & stole your cookies, but not just your cookies, your award winning cookie recipe as well, just because I didn't want to bake the cookies myself or take the time to learn how to bake a really good cookie or because I was too lazy or conceited enough to believe that I, like everyone else, should have to work to pay for the things that other people create as a part of their work, you would be okay with that, right? With me robbing you, not just once, but everyday, for the rest of your life, because I am gonna post your cookie recipe at a site for naughty baker's that like to steal, I am the Cookie Pirate after all, so what does me stealing your program, errrrr, Cookie & recipe really harm.? It's just a few dollars, right?
But wait, what about all the time you spent perfecting your recipe? Or all the baking equipment you bought to bake the cookies? The money you have paid for advertisement or other marketing? The employees you may have to pay, whom also rely on the sale of your cookies? Any licensing fees you may have had to pay for use of portions of your cookie recipe or it's name? The store front you rent to sell your cookies out of? So, does stealing the few cookies & a recipe (code that is reversed or cracked) really just cost you a few dollars?
Think about what you are asking & have some decency. You are asking developers on a developer site, how to steal from developers. And worse, you think it's alright? Just like a bakery, a developer has to buy software to develop with & licensing fees for distribution, websites cost money just like a store front, development is often done by individuals, companies or developer groups & they all are working to support themselves, their families & have further spent the time &/or money learning to do what they do. Time is not cheap, neither is a college degree in computer sciences.
Do you know why the software companies pay up to a Million Dollars in reward money to those that report software piracy? Because it costs economies tens of millions in losses.
I am gonna have a look at your previous posts & activities online & if I find a hint of other similar posts, I will have no choice but to ban you.
You should be ashamed of what you are asking.

[Q] Looking for new job...where to start?

Hi there.
I work for the NHS as a community nurse but found that this is no longer what i wanted. Ever since my real passion is tech & gadgets in particular PCs, tablets & smartphones. I like selling them and giving advice to people before they buy them. I'm currently a seller on Amazon and Ebay but i only have a few items in there and would be very impractical as a source of income for my monthly things. Besides me and my wife have many plans and living in London ain't cheap.
If i have a regular job in-stores or act as an online or telephone adviser that might be more better and more practical. I know its not totally what i have finished in college but at least its something of a passion and what i really want doing. Don't get me wrong. Visiting patients and talking to them and doing what you are supposed to do is nice. I work from 0830 till 1630pm. But i'm in my late 30's and i need to be somehwere where i am "relaxed" and comfy on what i do. And i fell "at home" with tech & gadgets.
I also have this idea of creating apps for Android (or iOS) but with a very stiff competition it has to be niche and caters to very specific demographics, etc.
Any advice on how or where to start please?
