AOHell anyone?

OK I read a lot on XDA and flash roms here and there, but never really post... but I ran into something maybe only you guys would understand, somehow I ended up at AOHELL's wiki page.
WHO REMEMBERS AOHell!?

You've got mail...

AOHell no!
Sorry, had to.

lol I remember the hot ice punter and skitzo's ( i think thats how it was spelled) account creator that used the credit card algorithm to make fake accounts that last 24 -72 hours.

Scary thing is there are still people using AOL as an ISP. I wonder what version they are up to? I snicker whenever I hear someone that still uses an AOL email account.

Same here. Back when I had my Evo, someone posted a thread about configuring their AOL account with the default mail client. I asked why because gmail is so much better, plus these are Google phones, so it kinda defeats the purpose, at least for me.

I remember when AOL high speed came out. The box said, $24.99 a month, prerequisites are you must have a high speed internet connection. Yes, of course, I love paying double the price just for a stupid ass email account.....
So, now to the question at hand, I do jot remember AOHell. It was probably out around the time I was smoking dope everyday. Who knew I would work in computers when I thought I was going to be a technology hating hippy?

that transferred instantly and reliably.
AOL email was the preferred warez courier platform for a while because of that.

I had a dedicated line run into a computer that was also a router (LRP floppy FTW). My entire house had internet in '98, 5 computers total. Sure, a shared 56k (or 33.6k, or 28.8k, or whateverK) line wasn't a speed demon...but...we could queue up tons of stuff and just let it come in. Each computer had gigs and gigs of music on it from Napster, all saved on the server.

Playing Ingress on the Note 2

Can anyone tell me how smooth playing Ingress is on our Note 2? I've heard it has Tron like graghics, running on top of Google maps. I've downloaded the free app from Google play, but it requires an access code. Weeks ago, ive already submitted my emailing address to request on.
To anyone out there who doesn't know what Ingress is, its a MMO using augmented reality. Where in you need to travel to various aeas and hack, and steel these things called portals. It has a huge back story, and its only open for invites.
Side note: if anyone can invite me, please do. PM me please. I've been biting at the chomps to play this game.

Anyway, I heard playing reeks havoc on battery life. Like it only gives you something like a few hours of game play. I assume us Note2 owners needs some type of power reserve?

Nope, the access code didnt work. Oh well, Ive heard that the Niantic project is the ones handing out access codes.

Works great on galaxy note 2.
But you need power pack when you're out for a long time because the game is very chatty
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

To give you a data point battery-wise, I played for approximately two and a half hours going from 96% down to about 5% on the regular battery. That's on a relatively stock ROM, with Songza streaming in the background, and not using power saving mode.
Another player I met with a Galaxy Nexus said he lasted about an hour without his external battery pack.
Update: I've since bought an Anker 13000 mAh external battery. I cannot overemphasize how useful they are to play this game. I managed to play for over eight hours today, scoring over 100000 AP and reaching level 6! When I got home, the phone's battery was at 77% and the external was reading as half full!

It's hard for me to quantify exactly how much time I played today but I was at Disneyland today for almost 6 hours and I played anytime not standing in line and went from about 90% battery to about 25%. I am running Jedi 13 with Saberkernal. I'm not sure exactly how many points a gained today (I am a noob with only 3 days play time) but I went from one bar on level 1 complete to 7 bars complete on level one. There are so many portals to hack and Disneyland so it's pretty easy to gain points really quickly.

Yup, Ingress eats batteries (though a few versions ago it seems to have improved).
Go go car adapter and a driver so you can concentrate on drive by hackings, or even fast resonator deployments if the traffic lights are red.

Any improvements on battery life with the latest version? I am still waiting on an access code from them.

Just noticed that I received an extra invite code. First one to PM me with their gmail address gets the code.
Apologies for late update. Invite code is gone.

I got the invite from invite from niantic, I am sure someone will pop and ask for yours. Thanks for offering though.

[APP] Locket - Get paid for unlocking your phone!

Hey guys! Check out Locket, a new Android app that pays you for unlocking your phone
This is the greatest idea ever!
The app replaces your usual lockscreen with a nice sleek one that displays ads. You can choose to ignore the ad or go to it, either way you get money! The ads look nice as well, check out the link:
LINK REMOVED
It may seem like a scam, but it's not. Google about the app and you'll see that many good websites have talked about it, such as PCMag, ABC News, and Engadget! So I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

From AndroidCentral:
So, how much are you going to get paid with Locket? The truth is, not much. This is a long-term play, at best, and even then you're not going to be buying much more than a six-pack with your spoils. You get the impression using Locket that you get 1 cent per unlock. But the truth — and this isn't anywhere in the fine print that we've seen, only in other published reports — is that it's capped at 3 cents per hour. Any unlocks beyond that — and the ads you view — are money in someone else's pocket. Not yours. (At the time of this writing, Locket hasn't responded to an e-mail seeking confirmation and clarification on the 3-cents-per-hour cap.)
Doing the math, that's a max of 72 cents a day. Or $5.04 a week. Or $262.80 a year — if you're unlocking your phone three times and hour, 24 hours a day. Which you won't be doing.
It's free money, but not worth giving up the security of a password lock to me. Or even the inconvenience of having TWO lockscreens. Raise the rates and play nicely with password locks, then we'll talk.

^^ Lol what a pain and no one likes ads. You could make more begging on the streets a couple times a year

For 9 days of unlocking... And not doing it every hour.

I have been using locket. You can also disable the stock lock screen by going into the setting and selecting the lock screen option to: none. I guess there are people like myself with nothing on my phone to hide so I don't ever use a pass code at my lock screen. It's been about three weeks and I have 5 dollars lol

Looks like they finally added confirmation:
There is currently a limit of 3 swipe-cents per hour as stated in our FAQ page. In the future, we may offer a different rewards structure to maximize users' and advertisers' satisfaction. **
Anyway, neat find and I have to give it to the app developers. This is the first time I seen anyone excited about getting ads lol.

No perks as yet...

I bought the 16gb version from Best buy yesterday. Registered for the perks last night. So far I have not received any email confirmation from Samsung. How long does it take to get the perks?

It took me almost 2 weeks. Others got it within seconds, minutes... In cases where people had to call in (like me) the time varies as well. Some people reported receiving an e-mail within seconds of speaking with a support rep. In my case it took them about 1.5 weeks to 2 weeks to finally get my codes to me.
Give them a call. What will happen is they'll ask you for all the information you used to try and register and then they'll try to register for you. If that doesn't work then they escalate the issue to a person(s) who manually types out the codes for you and e-mails it (which is what takes a long time). This last bit was poorly explained to me and I thought they were giving me the run around (which they probably were at some point).
Give them a call. Worst case scenario it will take a week for the to get back to you. They may keep telling you that it will just take a day or two, but that wasn't the case for me which is why I thought they were screwing with me.

Thanks a lot. I will call them.
Sent from my SM-P600 using xda app-developers app

Not yet
I have called 5 times, each time they tell me they are expediting it, it's been weeks, and I still haven't gotten the email.
On my most recent call, it was explained to me that the product being so new, they did not have all of the serial numbers in the system. So if you registered for your perks and your serial number happened to be in the system, you got your email immediately, otherwise, nothing. Now they seem to be playing catch up, with those who call in having their serial numbers pushed up in the line (I guess).

This drives me nuts. This is exactly what they told me and it's just a scripted line. They need to just say that there has been a systematic issue which has affect some users and that they are having to manually send out codes to people who are affected. I know a scripted bull**** line when I hear one and it only makes me press them more.
When you call them record the calls and make sure that you tell them you are recording the calls (by law you have to tell them you're recording). Light a fire under their asses so that they'll stop feeding you BS and be sincere. There should be a sticky for anyone affect so you guys can all collectively work together to get your perks.
Every time I called back they had my information wrong and they were purposely doing it. I know this because I checked with a rep and we ere damn sure the e-mail was right. The next time I called back I asked for them to give me my info to make sure it was right and it wasn't. Those guys like to play games.
If a sticky gets made and enough people are affected by this I'll post the contact info the person who sent me my codes after I link them to the thread and give them a fair warning that they are about to receive a flood of e-mails from pissed off costumers who their help desk screwed with.

I signed up for mine tonight and was actually quite shocked to get the email within 2 minutes. Wow!
It's not all roses though, I had a hard time getting my perks when I registered a Note 8 a few months ago. Had to go through customer service and I eventually got my codes.
---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------
Oh btw, if you're having problems, contact Samsung on their Facebook page. Fastest way to get a response. When I had my problems, it got resolved within a few hours.

Okay so here's the latest. Yesterday when I contacted Samsung I did it in 2 ways. Firstly I contacted them using the live chat on the website. They told me I have to wait 48 hrs. Secondly I contacted them on their Facebook page. They told me I have to wait up to 72 hrs...
Today I contacted them using the live Web chat. They asked how much time has passed since I registered and I told them 64 hrs. Then she started asking for my info.. serial # mac address etc.... After that she told me she escalated it to another department and I should get an email from Samsung in 2 business days... I'm waiting for that now. ?.
Good thing about the Web chat is that I got the transcript.

And it's worth reiterating to check your other folders in Gmail. My perks were in my inbox, but they did not show up in my regular "inbox" view for some reason. They showed up only if I went to the All Mail or Important views (and in both cases they showed it as living in my inbox, but the inbox wouldn't show it). So, check all of your Gmail mailboxes and smart folders before you give up, it's not just "spam or inbox"...

Ok another update...... After waiting 2 business days I contacted them again... they told me that the ticket was filed today and it would take 2 business days.... so now I have to wait until Monday.....

My Bad Experience with the JUMP program

Hi Guys,
Has anybody had any issues trying to update their phone with the jump program.
I went into the tmobile store on 1/12 and the rep pulled up my account and indicated that I an eligible on 1/14. I would need to go into the store to do the upgrade.
On 1/14 I went into the store and asked to update from the S4 to a white G2. Well, to my surprise they did not have any white G2's and could not have one shipped to me because they jump program does not allow shipping to an address. They could not even ship it to the store. They called around and found a store 45m in from me that had a white G2.
Off I went to the store. I spent 1.5 hours in the store while the reps tried to process the upgrade but could not. Had customer service on the line and still no luck. Eventually I had to leave because this was taking 2.5 hours out my day.
I called customer service about 3 times yesterday and still no luck. They indicated that they cannot do anything as the Jump program must be done from a store. I stopped in at another store last night and the same issue. Unable to complete the process.
I am so frustrated with tmobile right now. Do they not test this before they launch it. Maybe the same company that build the Obama Care is managing the tmobile site.
:crying::crying::crying:Let me know if you guys have had any luck.

Were you able to get a new phone with the jump program? The guys at the store seemed like a bunch of "Yahoos" and I'm not sure they know what they are doing. Nobody seems to have completed the jump redeem procedure yet.

So, I called customer service today and the rep said they are looking into the issue with the jump program and she has all my details and would give me a call on Wed, Jan 22
You would really think it would take them a day to fix this issue.
Not impressed.

They told you jump has to be done at a store? I did it online.

My local tmobile store fixed my issues finally. I went to the store close to my house and the guys there are really helpful. He got all my issues with the account fix up and today I got my white G2 in the mail.
Thanks guys at the store for taking the time to resolve my issue and spending all the time on the phone with customer care.
Thanks tmobile.

Complaint Box
When anything first comes out it is not buttery smooth expect a little hiccups with the first round of using jump. You got in on the opening days of jump and got a new device. You experience some turbulence but got your new phone. It is because of people like you that complain about the smallest inconveniences in a great thing that give good things bad names. If you plan on keeping up with the best and latest devices you cant beat jump. Why dont you go out and buy a 4k tv as well and complain about it looking the same as 1080p as well while you are at it. (if you dont know what I am talking about. It is because there isnt a whole lot of stuff that is 4k quality yet it is all still 1080p and that is all you would get. even though 4k is better you just have to wait for the services to come available)
