I was thinking after the first one to switch already but I really wanted the camera from the amaze. I'm a Photographer so it was hard but after taking a good hard look, the s2 didn't have that much of a difference. Plus when I finally did the switch, this phone was on sale for 88 bucks. I paid 188 for the amaze. So when I did switch I got money back because they had to honor the sale price. So I got a better phone for me and for 100 bucks back

It seems all they're doing is vomiting phones to us and rushing these damn incomplete devices. The sensation had an amazing community but nothing to save it's hardware and battery problems. These stupid companies need to slow down and make something great. I'm an HTC fan and just waiting for them to make something nice that I can replace my Galaxy with. Sorry guys.

The only problem that HTC devices have imo is Sense. The G1 was great for the couple years I had it. Look at the G2!! Great phone because it's running vanilla Android.
Sense = Fail
Always syncing in the background, taking up resources, and bogging the phone down. ESPECIALLY on the Mytouch 3G slide (oh what a mess that phone is). Every time someone walks into my store with a MT3G slide i think, "oh boy here we go" lol
Even on the HD2 windows phone!! The solution we gave a lot of customers was to turn Sense off and it solved pretty much everyone's problems with that phone.
Lol couldn't agree more. Sense is definitely eye candy, but i end up removing most of the stuff with titanium backup. I enjoy some things from there but eh. Seems to me like the mt4g was the last quality phone by them. The one with the good display at least. I remember getting 4 hours display time with that bad boy and that was running sense. Glad we have tdj and rk from there lol

I hear ya haha. I used to hate WM6.5 sooo much and was super hyped when I found out android had been ported over. That phone was one of the best over ever had, si many customization option when it came to ROMs. They even have ICS already. I would have kept it had it not been for the catastrophic drop that ruined the display

I recently had a friend call me in a panic. He tried rooting his phone and installing roms and all but bricked the device. This is the type of guy who does this on the reg. He gets knee deep in a tech project that he has no business in. When he screws everything up, I pick up the pieces.
Well he bought the ATT 777 Galaxy S2, I'm sure you heard of it. Anyways, I can't talk him through it over skype because there is so much he did wrong that I need the phone in my hands to research every issue.
I get the phone, and completely am amazed at how it isn't bricked. It only enters download mode, the USB connector is wonky so you have to hold it a certain way to connect, the battery wont stay charged for more than 10 minutes... I am just angry that it has come to this.
So he leaves and I run through the phone looking for other signs of life. I get it to DL Mode and by the grace of the flying spaghetti monster, figure out how to keep it connected to the wonky USB port. Problem is it requires a two hand operation.
So there is a one-click unroot.root program for the i777. I hold both the phone and cable, then... SMASH THE MOUSE WITH MY HEAD to click the button. I missed twice, so after a headache I finally hit it.
It is now unrooted...
ONE MORE SMASH
rooted...
I install roms with more smashes of my face to mouse.
CWM-- SMASH!
rom- SMASH!
wiper - SMASH!
Everything installs, boots up nicely...
I unhook the volcun death grip and start wondering around the phone. The screen on that phone sucks. The feel of it is cheap and the same apps I have do not run nearly as good.
the t-989 is a way better phone. period.

I'm completely addicted to my phone, like most people on XDA, I mean I m on it 24/7 as soon as I wake up, and no for phone call or text (it actually bothers me) Idk what to do, flashing roms, kernels, checking for updates, does anyone feel the same, that's one the reason I had an iPhone I was limited to what could I do on it, was going more to the gym and what not, I know I can limit myself but is hard, anyone else wants to admit they are too? Anything that you have done to get away with it? And has it work?
I get emails and there not even important, going back 4 years ago is when started, getting the evo a few years back made it worse, I could actually watch hd youtube on it and stop using the computer less and less, where I work I'm the GM and I could check my phone whenever I want and that's bad, I mean looking at might stats I could spent up to 6 hours with my screen on, now it feel like a job to check my phone then anything else, you see xda members asking for the next update or when cyanogen is releasing his work on XDA, is crazy to admitted but truth at the same time, even think of unrooting my phone sometimes and I can't just give it up, anyways guys I just want to see how many people feel the same way, thank you for reading
Thanks for the responses xda members

I'm on mine all day too. I have music playing on it though and browsing. I hate flashing phones now though as the hd2 burned me out.
Hello my name is JayVee and I am also addicted to my phone. I have not gotten rid of that just new feeling you get with a gadget. There's no slowing down with this one. I listen to music, browse the Web, watch YouTube vids, and play games on this thing all day. I even refresh my twitter feeds 1000x per day on here. I use it more than my 2 computers. The first thing I do when I wake up is say good morning to my phone to wake it up and it feels so sweet when it listens. Makes me smile. My friends now call me antisocial because I'm on my phone more than I talk to them when we hang out. Idc tho.

Funny. Not because the addiction but because after they showed it was Windows phone, people seemed to not care as much..
So my name is Joseph and I am also an addict lol. Thanks for your honesty. I started with an HD2. I didn't even know about rooting or flashing and thought Winmo 6.5 was great lol. Then my buddy Wilfred turned me to the XDA site and it's been full on every since. My wife and I have always had the same phone HD2 and now Galaxy SII. When I wasn't fooling around with mine I was trying to doctor up her phone. I can't tell you how many times I have been up all night trying to fix something I broke on her HD2. oops lol. She would get so mad because I would accidentally erase all her apps and have to start over. ( During my noob phase ) But the only thing to do is sometimes just TURN IT OFF! I can hardly do it but sometimes thats the only way. I will leave it upstairs while we hang out downstairs so she does't get mad. I just got a great deal on the SSGSII and now I wish I had've waited on the SIII. lol. Oh well. :silly:
ADDICTED! you bet, I do my HTC-Hd2, mytouch4g, SamNote i717, and this one. Checking for anything to do on any of them, lucky for me the wife is all into it with, also a manager, so I am on them all day also...it's a DRUG...hehe

You shouldn't charge anything, he may even offer you something but you shouldn't ask, by this you've just told the whole community what your like.
People create tweaks, roms, scripts, tools and offer a ton of help & advice to people who have problems with their devices - all for free,
Even the guys who developed root for everyone did it for free.....

You are either seriously dumb, asking in an XDA community how much to charge for someone elses work?! I mean seriously?

Chris I do not think he will listen to reason. Or understand the explanations.
Also OP.... you do understand that the minute you charge something you are responsible for its support and if something goes "wrong" or not according to wishes in later. He will held you responsible no matter how much you say "I do not take any responsibility"...

Oh, trust me I know.
But I also know there is a difference between doing something for free and money. Trust me on that one that there is .
Rooted, flashed my fair share of roms on buddies, colleagues phones, and never ever one of them came to me, that something is bugged.
I even had to hear from a third party that they had some issues. They never said I was at fault. Never.
However, repairing a computer and been forced, money put into my pocket with angry looks and going away, no matter how much I said I don't want it. Or getting a chocolate ...
this equals to a next call with "you know, you repaired I know, and its for sure not your fault, but could you come and have a look?"

If someone on the street asked you for the time would you charge him first?
Buck up your ideas man! XDA is an open community where people of like minded interests try to help better their phones and their lives etc...
Asking if you should charge someone to root their phone for them when the whole process was originally created by someone who released it for free is just dim witted imho.
I can imagine that with an attitude like yours you wont have these 'friends' for much longer.
Give me a tenner and I'll tell you how much to charge.
XDA is a free and open community. Send him here or do it for free.
Discussing how much money to scam from your friend isn't exactly what XDA is all about.
