Trading? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so I'm about to trade my phone with another xda user. I was hoping for an upfront trade, but I live in hawaii, so that's kind of an impossibility. How should I go about doing this?

Sounds like your goin out on a limb if u send yours first. Get all his personal information and take a stab at it. Do you know him well?

I know right xD? I don't really know him, which is what worries me ._. I'm kinda just crossing my fingers that he keeps his word. But I don't wanna count on that.

Make him pay first with PayPal. He is then protected by there guarantee. And you have the money, so you don't have to worry when sending it.

write down your IMEI code if he/she does you wrong call it in and they will blacklist it and phone will be usless to use other than a mp3 player and a wifi browser

I'm thinking he wouldn't put his money on the line if he doesn't think id already sent it. And once I've sent the phone, he could easily screw me over by not following through xP

Id still be losing out though. Id rather not send it if I knew id be sending it to become a piece of trash/paperwieght. It just costs too much to get a new phone. I have a backup g1 but... I'm not taking that out of storage until I really have to xD

An old forum I visited had a sale mediator. You both send to 3rd party (usually it was forum owner) he'd check out both, make sure all is kosher then forward on to new owner.

I did post it in the mt4g thread. I'm here asking how I should proceed with the trade, because the man interested lives in texas. I tried craigslist but people are vicious there. One scratch on your phone and its instantly an unfair trade.

Really wanna sell my EVO 4g cuz want to try the 3d but need some.money what can I do? I got this phone on December and still like brand new with a new cover

Search the forum, there are answers all around.
I'll help you out a little bit.
First of all, either sell your EVO on Craigslist or the marketplace here, or trade it in for 150. After that, either buy the phone off contract at the store, or buy it off the marketplace here.
Good luck. Thank me if I helped.

Republic Wireless

thinking of changing to republic, but i still want to keep my inc2. anyone have any ideas that knows more about this company?
I wouldn't recommended that. Republic seems too good to be true. You can keep your inc2 but you can not use it on their plan bc they have only one phone (LG optimus)
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2434...u_have_a_strange_definition_of_unlimited.html
There's also an article on android police
Seems like a good idea for the service but when not using WiFi you are really hampered...I think somewhere they basically consul you on getting back on track using wireless if your 3g or whatever gets too high. I like the concept but would make sure you check all the details before taking the plunge.

I might be wrong, but it looks as if, to get service, you have to buy the phone.

Also since it is based off of Sprints network you will be really sacrificing signal for cost unless you are always in WiFi. Look into page plus if you are needing to cut cost. They run off Verizon towers and can use any Verizon phone if unlocked.

Signed up for the next round of invites, going to try one as a second line.
I would actually be interested in this, if I didn't already have an Inc2 and service through my parent's family plan. Maybe in a few years when they cut me loose, I will check it out, assuming it's still around. Would probably even be more refined.

Donating an Epic Touch to a DEV on XDA but..

The screen is cracked from the inside. The phone is in pristine condition. I was wanting to donate this to a developer with a good track record and references.
Maybe the community can pitch in with donations on a new OEM screen. What do you guys think?
I remember reading that Chris41G (or whatever his handle) is needing one. I would prefer if the DEV post in here and let us know what they plan to do with this whether it be kernel or ROM development. This isn't open to themers.
If interested in donating money post the amount and to who you recommend. I will let you guys know who gets this by tomorrow 9PM EST and can ship it the following day to that person if they PM me with their address when notified.

Whats a screen cost? Id be willing to allocate my money from the now defunct "reward for ice cream sandwich rom" thread towards a new screen when chris41g or any dedicated dev gets the phone. Small price to pay to help out the community $10

lol I knew everyone was going to say Chris before I even read the comments.
He definitely deserves it.

It's up to you guys. Kernel or ROM development. If you guys can PM them and see if they are still needing it.
The screen cost $100-120 on eBay.

Chris. Can we also take our ICS money and maybe buy a phone for netarchy and or Toast? I think toast lives like 10 minutes from me as well.
My sister is a phone tech at Sprint. I just text her and asked her if it would be trouble for her to get a replacement screen. She replaces these all the time. I'll keep you posted.

Put a rom that's not for your phone install have way then turn the power off.....
lol:laugh:
Ok, that sounds promising.
Let me run that back. I get a rom from any other phone, begin to flash through recovery and before the install finishes I turn the phone off and voila, no lights, nothing. Right?

I know it sounds terrible right? She got some water damage and the guy at Costco told me he would replace a hard brick if I screwed up while flashing.
I'm somewhat torn, but don't want to pay a deductible, we just paid one because she let my 1 year old play with her phone and he broke the screen. Anyway, just something I'm debating, not convinced yet.

Yeah, I won't be doing it. I was just venting mostly. I'm basically just pissed at the circumstance, and was looking for a way to save a few bucks. I'm more concerned about potentially getting a good guy busted for taking a phone in that he shouldn't than I am for duping some mega chain or phone manufacturer. Saving myself a bit of money isn't worth that.

Good man! There is hope for this world.

Good think you arent risking losing his job, but costco should return if you brick it no matter what. I did it on accident and best buy gave me a new one. I will post a PSA on it. but on the off chance you do still want to do it, just restore from a nandroid, and leave recovery on overnight, and that should do it. It is a new bug me and a few other developers have found the hard way.
For a moment I thought the OP was gonna give us his number, even though we just met, and ask us to call him, maybe?
