Donating an Epic Touch to a DEV on XDA but.. - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

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.

Look at all that Chris41g has done without the phone. He has my vote

My vote to Chris41g also. We would be way behind without him.

Chris41G needs the love.

Yup, give it to chris41g. He does great work and it would be well deserved.

Ok. It looks one sided to me. What about the replacement screen?

+1 chris41g should get it or maybe someone from cm. I think toast from cm was looking for one too.

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
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

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

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.

Id love to see Chris get this. He is an amazing dev.

As his teammate and someone who lives by his recovery on og epic i vote for chris.

id give all you folks a thanks if i had enough...

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.

Trading?

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?

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.

Found a broken screen epic 4g touch

Found this on the side of the road. The ESN is bad and the screen is shattered. I posted it under lost and found on CL but no one claimed it "correctly" Just took it down after a month. Whats it worth? It does work 100%.
I guess it's worth its weight as a standalone Android device. With a bad ESN, you won't be hooking it up to the Sprint network. It'll cost to have the screen replaced. You could use it as a media player at home or something, hooked up to your stereo.
You could offer it to a dev so they don't have to brick their own phone when testing releases.

give it to koush so we can haz cwm
Send it to a dev! I would say give it darchstar so he can use it to speed up his cm9 port but I am sure any of the devs would love to have it.
Does the phone still power on? Is the LCD broken, or just the front glass?
edit: I support giving it to koush for proper clock work mod support as well.
Yea donate, contribute to the greater good of mankind.
It was probably left on the roof of a car and flew off, the owner called it in missing.
Put up a poll with all of the Dev's and see who gets the most votes. I would suggest Calk or Agat.
i agree on donating it to darchstar, just flashed CM9 and it is awesome!!
Agreed Donate to Dev
Send it to Koush...He use to have one, idk what happened to it

Its been awhile

Man I haven't been on here in a while. Glad to see everyone still hanging around.
So I went off the deep in I let my wife use the Inc2. She traded it for a iPhone. So I was stuck using my BOLD. Well it made its way into the toilet. I then got a IPhone. Today I traded my IPhone 4 8gb for a mint condition Galaxy Nexus.
Haven't quite gotten use to the size yet. Haven't even got it rooted yet.
Just wanted to stop in and say why hello there.

So the verdict is in. I miss my inc2 guys. The nexus is a great device but I just can't get use to the size. I just don't know if I can give up 4g lol. Trying to find somebody local who might be interested in trading. (To the moderators. That was not me asking for trades on here.) I would do the marketplace on here but I don't have a get me by during shipping phone. If anybody knows anyone in the upstate sc area shoot me a pm.

OP, enjoy your new device...Thanks.

Goodbye from Justananomaly

Well,
It's been a good run guys. My personal T989 broke long ago beyond repair, and now my dev unit has a cracked screen which no longer functions and they want, with their "Premium Handset Protection" that I've paid them $8 for every month since December 2011, a $150 deducible to fix it.
I'm up for my $50 down upgrade which will cost me $17/month for a few months but my bill will go down $20 because of the upgrade, and I'm going the Nexus route from now on (holding off until after Google IO in case they announce something). I hope that you all enjoy your T989's, it's a really great device. Maybe I'll see some of you in the future.
Thanks for the good times, the minibaths, the laughs, and the dev builds.
Goodbye!
You will not regret getting a nexus. I will never own any other phone.

@OP Glad you are getting a new device. Sorry about the circumstances that precipitated it though. Hopefully you will have as much fun in your new section as you have had here.
Good luck in the future and please feel free to stop in and troubleshoot in your old stomping grounds when you can.
