Want to sell your defy? - Defy General

Hi guys,
Im not sure if i should be posting this here but id appreciate it if it were left here as it is relevant to you guys.
Im currently looking for a Defy for my brother up in tally. Heres my marketplace link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33388328
But since not everyone can seen that, heres the OP quoted:
My brother in Tally is not techy but hes fed up with his Nokia Nuron freezing up on him so im gonna send him a smartphone. i was gonna send him my vibrant but like i said, hes not techy and doesnt need specs; what he does need is durability so:
Im looking for a Defy that will solve his phone issue and open him up to the smartphone world.
I can only trade my Vibrant in 7.5/10 cond. For a Defy and some cash or something else on yours side. Here are my terms:
My Vibrant has a flawless 10/10 screen and is absolutely in working cond with no issues. The only prob with it is that one of the few times i ever took it out of its shell, i dropped it and dinged the bezel a bit. Its a good-looking ding in thats its nice and round but its a ding nonetheless. Other than that, the bezel has micro scratches that you have to look for to find, and the back covers are slllightly worn.
The phone comes with box, evrrything that came with it (even Avatar in the original sd), original batt which doesnt hold a charge well, as well as a new 1800 mAh battrry i ordered from Amazon ( for Samsung Epic II 4g touch but reported to fit in the Vibrant [original Vibe batt is 1500mAh]). Also comes with a purple TPU case pictured and a badly applied matte screen protector (you can see in pics as well).I am taking this phone with everything to be worth 135$ shipped.*Ill also sell for this amount.
Your Defy must have good esn, be fully functional, screen must be in good condition. Defy<Vibrant price-wise so offer Defy and something else.
if you absolutely cant trade but can give me a good deal on a Defy, i may consider buying it

[Q] Evo for sale question...

I looked but did not see a "for sale" section. Looking to sell my Evo and wasn't sure where to post. Any help in pointing to correct section would be greatly appreciated. It's revision 2 btw way...had phantom skinz protector as well as hard plastic case on from day one. Couldn't be in better shape.
Thanks guys/gals

There's a section called 'market'. Craigslist is probably easier though, more local
We're comin from a pure power source.
How much are you sellig it for ? I'm about to sell mine as well and I would like to know what would sound like a good price, I was thinking 300$ since I sold the iPhone 3GS for 200$ not too long ago but idk if is the right price
another vote for craigslist.org
swappa.com is not a bad place to start. Local is nice but not everyone will have luck with this. Maybe OP lives in the sticks in Tennessee. Doubt if Cletus and/or Linda Lou would wanna buy a smartphone Current prices on swappa are 285 and up to 400.

Sweet...appreciate the advice. Just listed on swappa.com. Went and tested the thunderbolt today for about 20 mins. Damn that thing is quick and smooth as butter. I love my evo and I have it running top notch, but there really wasn't a comparison.

Uhhhh....what?

Tmo/HTC refub quality

I am on my second replacement device from Tmo for my G2, and it is also messed up.
Come to find that my phones have been bricking due to an aftermarket battery, hence the exchanges. I have tossed that battery and use my original shipping battery. the first replacement the screen flickered a lot when the screen faded before turning off, the hinge was better than my new one prior, but still a tad off. this one i just got has a missing pixel, and the hinge seems a tad misaligned as well, more than the other one...it taps a bit when typing on the screen instead of hardware keyboard, which my original new one did soon after purchase but not as bad as the original one.
anyone else having issues with refurbs like this? what have you done with tmo to get the situation rectified?
That's why I don't bother sending my phones in. They give you someone elses old defect
sent from my HTC Desire Z
i agree, but i cant afford 500 bucks for a new device right now.
tmo offered me a sidekick 4g with android, a mt4g black, or a HD7 as a replacement if i didnt want another G2 refurb. for ****s and giggles i asked about the G2x they were out of stock. I really need the hardware keyboard
Sidekick 4G isn't bad... same size only downside for me is
NO FLASH for camera. But other than that its decent. I think G2 is best qwerty android smart phone.

lower quality camera and no flash is the number 2 and 3 reasons why i dont want it because i use the phone for business sometimes and need a decent camera and need to send pix on the spot, reason number one it screams teenager lol

I checked out the g2x today at the store, its nice and I may consider it, but I read a lot about the issues it has and makes me wonder if its worth it yet or not. Even the store reps are saying they are just swapping them no questions asked.

Well tmo for now won't budge off of the mt4g or the hd7 as my options over another g2, so ill be getting another phone shipped to me. Let's see how this one ends up doing.

just keep sending the phone back until your satisfied thats what i did . took about 5 times till i get the right one. make sure its made in thailand too cause the one from china got some yellow tint on the screen .

I agree, but its irritating to have to keep doing it. Just remember you have to keep doing it within the first 30 days of the exchange so you don't have to pay for express or any shipping again. Eventually ill end up getting a better alternative as tmo will have to realize the cost of these exchanges would exceed the costs of a brand new phone.

... Wow. I never had any such issues with my replacements from T-Mobile. 1st replacement I had to get was because of the keyboard was stuck on the alt key, my second one was because the camera. ( Must of broke it because of rooting.) Aha but that's all

Buyers beware

I have always owned and loved android devices since the g1. I always got carrier branded devices and switch every so often. I thought it would make sense to grab a gsm nexus so I started researching, and boy did I research. I thought that the price of a gnex from google is not bad and i had enought money to get one, but for whatever reason i figured i'd check ebay, but they sell for the same or more used. so I checked craigslist- on payday i saw what looked like a great deal... new gnex with extra battery 300, so i contacted the dude and met up about 40 minutes drive. the phone was in new condition there was the extra battery and vanilla ics, tried it made a call so i took it. while driving away i started playing with it.. i went to the camera app, got a message stating to insert sd card, i was like wth a gnex with an sd card. then i got a call the there was a flashing led at the bottom. i got home and examined it well, turns out its a fake ( my fingernail can operate the capacitve sereen) it looks so damn real... now im screwed out of 300 bux. I was so upset i went to google and got a new one, so I should have it soon... learnt my lesson well.- i really didnt think that fake phones existed and damn they did a great job... i think ill just give it to my son- he will by happy to have it
Pics or it didn't happen LOL. Can we see it? Wanna see how good of a "job" they did.

You didn't notice the feel of a resistive screen? It is distinctly different from a

Yeah that's a fake. The site even looks like amazon, with the way it's laid out and even some of the graphics.
This is why I like buying things eBay over CraigsList. eBay has gone to great lengths to protect buyers. With that being said it is such a pain any more to sell things on eBay (major hassle listing/shipping items, excessive fees, picky buyers) which is why I usually won't sell things on eBay any more.
In your case though you got a fake phone, which may have been hard to tell when you bought it but hypothetically if it were a Verizon phone for example it could have been completely real but may have been stolen and had a bad ESN. Even then though I believe you can check with the carrier to see if the ESN is clean. I guess what it boils down to is you just have to be very cautious whenever buying something from an 'un-trusted' source.
On a side note, I just received my Verizon Nexus that I bought on eBay for $240. This thing was listed at 'Used' but it is seriously in like new condition, not a scratch or scuff on it (and it came with a nice case). I am absolutely loving the phone so far. Only thing I don't like is that I didn't upgrade to it sooner.

I'm staying away from eBay and craigslist from now on, just for certain things I guess- i got a sweet shih tzu puppy for 300 bux on CL so I guess in the end it all evens out. I'll just get a simple mobile sim and give it to my kid, so its not a total loss, he will be happy with it. I'm just amazed of what a good job they did with it. and the fingernail test is how I narrowed it down - compared it to my girl's SG2. Im getting withdrawals waiting for the real phone to ship from google.

I wouldn't say he was careless. How many people have reported purchasing a FAKE Galaxy Nexus. I personally didn't even know they existed. I'm sure this could happen more than we like to think. Know we know to be even more careful.

With the WiFi issue, he probably had the Sprint Optimizer thing turned on, so it kept trying to use WiFi based on his location. Unless there is a real issue out there, anyone have this problem?

After typing this I realized I did a play-by-play of his review
Is the main complaint he has about this phone really a complaint? I mean he bought the phone knowing that there's no 4G LTE in his area, so how can it be a complaint if he knew this from the get-go? I bought this phone knowing that there isn't 4G LTE in my area so I, for one, don't complain about it.
I also like the build of the phone, I will agree though it does feel slick at times, like it will slip out of your hands like a wet soap bar! I too put a rubberized case on my phone to give it some more grip.
I agree with BWFBezerk, it's not a WiFI bug it's (ah hem, to say it like Apple).. it's a feature... this feature can be turned off without a problem, I disabled it on my phone...
12 to 15 hours battery life with heavy use, SWEET! I don't know what is considered heavy or light use, I use my phone about the whole time I'm at work from 8-5 and when I come home my battery is at 75%, I'm running Sonic FreeS3 0.1.1 and I must admit the battery life is insanely great.. I'm guessing his is stock ROM... I thought he said the battery life is definite "NO" not "GO" haha, my bad
SuperAMOLED is, in my opinion, the best screen ever... this is why I continue to get Samsung phones... from the Samsung Moment, to the Samsung Galaxy S II and now the Samsung Galaxy S III
As far as the speakers go, man I wish we had a front facing speaker for when viewing videos on the phone..
His case is sweet looking, my case has a kickstand on it too and it allows me to prop it up landscape and portrait
I'll have to agree with him, I really like the TouchWiz on this phone too... even thought I have a custom ROM on it, I only have that ROM on because it keeps the phone as stock as possible. One thing I didn't like about the stock TouchWiz though is the fact that the quicksetting automatically scrolled to the right.
Use the power button to get the recently used apps? Did he miss identify the button?
You know that 2 is more than 1, man I like this guy, he's doing a great review... I like how it's raw and uncut... real world as he says... no LINPack and all that...
I might have to hack my home button, I never use S-Voice anyway..
Direct Call is a definite GO!
Tap to Top, thanks for the explanation!
I can never get my screenshot to work swiping my palm from right to left, I can only get it to work from left to right... haha
I use Task Manager daily
This is a really good review, thanks for posting the link!

He has all the iPhones, I don't know if he'll review the iPhone 5. He said it's still too small for him. He only reviews phones he buys himself. Nobody sending the phones to him to review or anything. Check out the review he did for the iPhone 4s. There's 3 parts to that video.

Tips on selling my Dinc2 (and buying a Dinc4g?)

Hi guys!!
Sad story, I broke my Dinc2's screen for a second time. And I decided to just get a new phone rather than go through the expensive process of repairing again. I found a deal on XDA marketplace for a Dinc4G and I was thinking of selling my Dinc2 and getting a Dinc4G. Now, how much would you think is a reasonable price for a Dinc2 with the following:
> broken screen, red front bezel, black back cover (plus a brand new black back cover) and practically no blemishes on the front bezel as it is a new replacement.
Will I get at least $50 for it? lol... I wish to get a bit more. Finally, do you say that $250 for a brand new Dinc4G is a good offer? (this is what I found on XDA marketplace)
And, am I allowed to inquire about this in General section? I hope so!
Go Dix!
I've seen the full black, and stock ones (@ Target) go for $25. But, if it is still rooted, got something cool on it, has that two-tone thing going on. It might be worth $50. I am not an expert, so my guess may be invalid. :/

I would try ebay. You should be able to get 80-90 if you do buy it now. You can look at recently sold prices.
