Kyphur - How do you do it???

I know this is a new post, and I'll probably get flamed etc...
But, HOW DO YOU DO IT?
You were up before 5am posting a new rom (so no sleep last night).. went to work and still carried on answering questions (good and dumb ones).. then you've got enough sense left to make a good decision NOT to include an embeded radio in WMXL AND close the thread to stop timewasters (like me)...
Go and get some sleep bcos we need you... stop posting for a few days and just watch us get screwed up and sorted out without you - you've already done the hard work, without which there would be no discussion...
Hero worship, hero worship, we're not worthy etc

I'm going to be off the forum for a few days, got to catch up on work and sleep. PM me any fixes. I'm already looking towards v0.30.
Oh yeah, if you're getting more value from your Hermes, send some support first to XDA-Dev (this place is expensive to maintain) then to the guys who came before me and if anything is left for me it's appreciated but make sure XDA and those who built the foundations I based this on get their fair share. See the list in my threads...
Long Live XDA!!!!!!!​

i do have to agree!!
how on Earth have Kyphur the XDA-Devs team managed to turn my tytn from a slow WM5 pain to an awesome super speedy WM6 monster!!!
You guys are gods among mortals!

Yes, he is the man and all, don't say it too much or you will wear it off.
You know what I think we should do too? Send them some coin.
Come on guys, for all intensive purposes HTC and Microsoft where planning on screwing us by not giving us an update. Since so far their take is "Hell, you want WM6, then buy a new phone!" Yeah, like as if the TyNT is a $50 dollar candy bar.
Here come these guys and not only set the vanilla but are working on an improved version of WM6.
Even two bucks is better than just words --more is better, $5 perhaps? Show your support. I will.
Thanks for the work XDA!

You don't need to send these guys cash, they're made of money and are actually using multiple clones of themselves to work in parallel. Kyphur Mark I sleeps 20 hours a day, don't pity him. He has lost his looks though.

Is this the whole developers team? I thought there were more of them. But now I see their photos I think I understand why they don't get out much... Maybe I'll use this as my today screen

Are there any refurbished HTC desire sold as new ??

Hi,
I am currently travelling at Hongkong, here in Mongkok district of Hongkong, there are hundreds of shops selling mobile phones at 'quite cheap' prices.
I just bought a HTC desire, it was sealed with plastic, and the storekeeper said that it was a HTC desire with HK warranty. For HKD 4100.
I wanted to buy 2 units, one for my sister. But the store only has 1. So I went to a store next door, and the storekeeper said what I just bought must have been a 'refurbished' one. He said the normal price in HK should be around HKD4250 - HKD4300.
Question is, Are there really any method to check whether this new phone I just bought isn't a refurbished one? or a second hand sold as a new unit ? seeing me as a foreigner, they would think I am easier to trick.
Blackberry units, at least, has its own call/data meter, which is unresettable, so I could easily know whether the unit was new or not..

here is the photo of the phone in the store

if you take the back cover off there are two screws at the top right and bottom right that should have "Void" stickers on... not sure if there is anything else you can check, software is guarenteed to be reset, maybe check for signs of wear on the screws while your there..

from what I heard, the store would go as far as replacing a new outer case for it.
I didn't see any signs of wear on the screws though...
Are there really no method by software to know whether this phone has ever been used before (call/data) ?

if there is no way of telling, whats that point in finding out?

because there is no way of telling just by looking from the cases and screws, now I am asking whether there are methods to find out by software/system ? something like a call/data meter which is un-reset-able. are there any?

I have been in Hong Kong last week myself and bought my Desire there.
The best price that was offered to me was at Tsim Sha Tsui at a shop right opposite of the mosque in a corner store on Nathan street. They asked for 3500 HK$ and I could bargain them down to 3100. After I agreed they told me they would need to unlock the phone and I should not make any updates afterwards. I did not like that and got my money back right away. They explained to me that these cheap offers are imports from the US. They need to unlock them since they are branded, that is why they are that cheap.
For 4100 you should get a regular unbranded and unlocked phone.
If you're unsure, as was I, go to Fortress - they might be a bit more expensive (I paid 4450 HK$) but you get a proper guarantee plus an 8 GB memory card add-on and they put on a display protection right in the store. Not to forget the good feeling about having avoided to be fooled ... ;-)

One thing that just popped up in my mind:
Why don't you just call HTC support and ask them? I called them course I had some questions and they registered me as a customer. They would immediately be able to tell where the phone comes from and how old it is - or if the IMEI is a fake. You could even tell them a fa- ehm I mean they do not check if your name is really your name...

At first I thought it was a typo.........

.........then I checked all his items for sale and it turns out the seller has several Evo cases on sale.
FOR $10,000 EACH?

Wtf? For that price, you'd think shipping was included, but there's an extra $3 charge for that.

I sent him a message asking him if that was the actual price. Interesting stuff on ebay lately.
This will go good with my new limited edition oreo evo

I thought about asking him about the price. Now that I think about it, he could have copied the listing several times over to add several cases and not noticed the price.

I sell auto parts on eBay. I see this all the time because normally people don't have these items in stock so they put up at high price rather then deleting the whole post. This way the item is always listed and they can fix the price once there inventory gets updated.

That makes sense. I would still make a note on the auction saying "Out of stock; price will be updated to $xx.xx once stock arrives." or something along those lines. That way anyone interested would still add the item to their watch list.

I would probably give him $9000 for it, but not $10000. its all scratched up around the rim of it.
dude is smoking.
Id say $8500 is tops he will get for that thing

Here's their response:
Thank you for your question. this
item is currently out of stock. we
will remove the high price once we get
them in stock, we will never
sell a phone case with that kind of
ridiculous price. sorry for the
confusion. I will let you know when we get
it. what do you think?
out of stock was correct

first person to post a reply on this thread gets it. no PMs. that way, it's fair and square and out in the open for all to see. I'll then PM you to get the shipping info.
also, your soul.
anyhoo...
nothing is wrong with it. used it for about a week then switched to a ruggedized battery cover. I've just had it sitting on my desk and would rather give it away to someone who'll use it.
it's not much but hey... free is free.
I'll take care of shipping, as it shouldn't be immense.
sadly, I won't do shipping anywhere else besides the continental US. unless YOU want to pay for shipping. I don't see that as beneficial... but to each their own.
please, just out of courtesy and honest and fairness, only post if you will actually use it and if you actually own an atrix. honor code and all.
any questions or anything, feel free to ask.
I'll check this thread out later this evening and I'll ship it out tomorrow.
thanks, all.

What should i do?

Ok.. i had a little accident a couple of weeks ago at work and destroyed my one x screen

Now the phone seemed fine, from what i could see from the third of the screen that was still working. It still booted up and charged etc, still got calls..
I looked into getting a screen replaced and to my disbelief i found out it would cost me £120. I figured i'd get a replacement and fix it myself, as the phone is only worth about 200 quid now anyway.
I bought a LCD from Ebay for £50 and i successfully opened the phone and removed the broken lcd/digitizer and replaced it with the new one.
Ok you might all be thinking.. "whats the problem" - Well it appears i've snapped the powerflex cable, close to where the button is connected to it.
(I think those of you in the know will know what i mean)
I'm torn between 3 options here..
1. Buy a powerflex replacement £6.50 and install it myself, bearing in mind there might be something else wrong.. or the LCD just doesn't work..
Also i'm not 100% sure the powerflex part is easily removed/installed. I know one section of it is a snap-in connector.. not sure about the left side of it.
2. Get it done professionally for £50ish - bearing in mind the phone is in bits, and the shop i send it to might make up some BS stories about how i've destroyed other bits needing replacing etc etc..
3. forget it all and sell it on ebay as spares/repair - bearing in mind all my sensitive data, apps, and pictures are still in the phone
I just wanna get it fixed, working, and all my data and stuff off it so i can sell it i probably would have kept it had all this disaster not happened, but I'm in the new phone mindset now and my contract ends next month :fingers-crossed:

For 6.50 it has to be worth a try, you're gonna get a lot more money, and satisfaction, for it if its fully working. and if it doesn't work, well it's just the price of a MacDonalds. oh and if it's the cable I'm thinking of it's no worse than any other one in there.

I'm going towards that route tbh...
This is the part. I tore the right most part.. just below the button.

Got to fix a new power flex mate
The phone albeit might be worth £200 to you but with a bust screen/power flex its worth £70/100 on ebay
Just make sure while youve got it in bits you dont knock off any of the contection tabs
