Recently, one of the members if team rejectz has had a minor accident with his E4GT. My team mate, friend, and mentor had his phone ran over while keeping a child safe from on coming traffic. As we all know, this phone is very sleek and can easily slip from your hands or pocket. In this case the phone slipped from his pocket while.scurrying the young child out of harms way. He very well may have saved the child's life. But by the time he turned around his phone had been ran over and crushed by on coming traffic. This could happen to any of us. Sprint has claimed it was user negligence and is charging Lorjay $100.00 for a deductible to obtain a replacement. We are all struggling in this economy and none of us have an extra hundred bucks. Lorjay589 has been an invaluable help to this forum and community. He started team rejectz as well as taught and mentored me and others of our team so we could help make these devices better. In doing so our team has collectively brought 5 of the newest roms, many new png images, mods, lockscreens etc. Currently we have raised approximately 42.00. We are just about half way there. Here is a paypal donation link, also you can donate to him if you enjoy lorjays original work and feel you can contribute with a donation. ALSO, IF anyone has a tester phone that they can part with for our team, please pm any of us from.team rejectz. Thank you for your time and consideration.
I have spoken with these members and this is fine.
Please no trolls and no need to associate this member with any other one you feel did not do the right thing. If you want to donate, donate. If you don't, then just move on. They have taken the necessary steps to do this right with my guidance.

Wasn't lorjay thread closed because he was asking for donations up front?!? good luck rejectz hope he gets the phone!!! This is going to be a long day:banghead:

Thats good at least. Insurance is your best friend. I had a blackberry storm 2 back in the day and on day 2 It dropped into the bathtube I was pissed cause I didnt add insurance at the time of purchase. That phone retailed back in the day for 579.99 and I found another on ebay for 450 bucks. Horrible.

One last post about the blackberry. Absolutely with ya jay. I do not miss mine either. Funny thing. I was going through my tech pile o crap I keep and four d my BB curve. This was a few weeks ago but I held it in my hand and it felt so cheap and small compared to this phone. I remember when I first got it though. I was so excited and happy. Now it just didn't impress me. Man how technology has changed.

Hopefully this isn't against the forum rules.
I'm looking for someone, I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S2 from you off Craigslist yesterday. We were supposed to meet up today so I could pick up the box and accessories but I realized now that you don't have a phone anymore, I don't know how to reach you. You gave me your XDA username in case I needed to reach you but I'm an idiot and forgot it.
If you see this, could you PM me so I could get the box, the case piece, the receipt, charger, and extra battery from you?
Thanks
LOL and good luck.
If he sold you the phone I doubt he's in these forums any more.
Hercules Hercules!!
Do a search for his name...lawl missed that you lost his name.
this is literally the good'ol "looking for a needle in a haystack"
good luck buddy
i hope you haven't pay him yet
Yep, hope you didn't pay yet. Sounds like you hv the phone already though?

Lol, well, I paid him already.
But I do already have the phone, and the case, and the extra screen protector.
The box/receipt/extra part for the case/USB charger/extra battery seems like a weird thing to rip someone off over.
Heh, maybe I'll wait until tomorrow before I go nuts. From his XDA user name I found his Twitter and Google Plus accounts and contacted him on all of them. He's pretty active on XDA.
On the downside, he did mention when I met him yesterday he was leaving the country on Saturday....
On the other downside, he did mention on his Twitter dropping his phone and it slipping under the wheel of a car right before I bought it from him....
Lol. You're kidding right?

Even though he sold you his phone, didn't he keep his sim card? his number should be unchanged...... unless he just totally went off the radar and decided he didn't need a cell phone anymore or switched providers without porting the number.
This isn't related to the Epic as much as it is to Sprint. I might have mentioned my mom works at Sprint. I live in Kansas City. A lot of people here work for Sprint. But, one of my best friends just got an awesome job there. Product Development and Testing. You all know what that means.
More idiotic rumors?
Sent from my Transformer TF101
slightly more informed speculation?
He said he would get a new phone every 4-8 weeks. It just means sometimes I might be able to help people decide if they should wait to use their update.
LOL, it's a Family Affair.... seriously tho congrats and keep the info coming
Thanks, and just remember, it wasn't a Dev that got the leaked LOS fix, it was someone like yourself helping out the community any way the can. If your friend wants to donate the old ones.....

I get people to join sprint, they get my used phone or buy buy it cheap, and I get the latest for the reduced price and what ever I sold my last phone for. Everybody wins here in this case. Although I did buy my EVO 4g full price with a credit card, I can't justify spending 500+ on a phone ill only use for 3 to 6 months.

Galaxy Nexus rumors and speculation pleaaassssee!!! K thanks!
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

So if you all remember correctly, over a month ago or so I somehow thought I bricked my phone... I ended up going to the Sprint store and they said it was my charging port, they said it had some water corrosion on it and was not able to charge, let alone hook up to any USB cord.
Well I'm back to say I'm finally getting my replacement sent to me! I had to wait for more funds, which is why it took so long, but I'm so excited to finally be back! It looks like I missed quite a few updates for some good ROMS, so now when it comes in, I'll get the great pleasure of rooting it, and then flashing the best ROM. Jelly Bean, here I come!
Glad to be back, E4GT! Glad to be back!
