Looking for XDA guy from Craigslist: I bought a Galaxy S2 from you

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?

If there's one silver lining to my situation, I suppose it's that it seems to be bringing joy to the people of this thread.
Sadly, everything I stated is true.

Wow, this story just gets better and better. Lucky for you, you can always do a warranty exchange if something is wrong with the phone.
Good luck!

ahaha classic man! >.< well atleast all is well then. XD

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.

[Q] Epic won't turn on, high pitched whine when charging

I think the title says it all. I've got an Epic that produces a high pitched whining noise (reminiscent of an old CRT monitor) when plugged into USB without a battery in. When I try and turn on the phone, there's a very faint, intermittent clicking sound coming from the top area of the phone's back. If I put the battery in with USB in, the clicking sound resumes.
Since the phone won't turn on, I'm guessing something's wrong with the power circuitry? Is this anything that could be taken care of by me, or is the phone a lost cause?

I think your diagnosis is correct. Sounds like it is oscillating. To diagose further you would probably need an oscilloscope and a schematic. I believe Sprint takes care of non-insured repairs for $35.

could sell it to someone with a stray dog problem too!:}

Woah! Never heard of that. You have a real brick! Congrats! 1 in a million!

I'm honored? Anyways, confirmed: it's not responding to a download mode dongle, so it's really quite dead. Off to eBay to sell it for scrap.

There are people who work on solid bricks they take apart the phone and hook it up straight to the pc and will bring it to download mode and restore it.

Well.... according to my infinite knowledge of electronics, he has a blown fuse on that thing. Loud whine is more like a fuse that popped. Kinda like when you have the iron plugged in while your room heater is at Max and you put in a hotpocket in the microwave. In about 30 seconds all the lights. Go off. Gotta go pop the breaker. But once you are at the breaker box, there's a hmmmm whine to it. That's exactly what's going on his epic. Unfortunately, there's no breaker build in the epic, even with all its glory, galaxy s devices are prone to fuse popping.

The story of how I smashed my face onto a mouse to install a rom

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.

Easiest way to brick?

Ok I know some of you are probably wondering what type of question is this lol.. Last night I had a few drinks and dropped my phone, now I have a cracked screen at the bottom right of the phone. Called my friend (works at sprint) he said he can't swap it out just because of the screen but told me if I brick it he can swap it out, all I have to do is blame the new ota update when I come in so his manager gives the approval. So what's the fastest way to get a BLOD? Would removing the wire while running a sfhub OC do it?? I just can't live with a cracked screen ima go crazy!!!

Someone is jealous they don't have a hook up at Sprint I see.. You'll get over it! And it's *your mistake* Not you're! You're = You are :thumbdown:

"Hook up" at sprint is not equal to the "right" thing to do... I don't think he was jealous as much as he was pointing out what you are attempting to do could be considered/is fraud... I'm not passing judgment on you but perhaps if you're accident prone you may want to consider adding insurance to the line, which is the route many of us around here take... additionally no one is forcing you to live with a broken screen, replacements can be found on eBay for reasonable prices and to change it it's just 9 Phillips head screws and 3 cables to unplug/ replug... not super hard to do... lastly I hope I didn't accidentally mispell anything in this reply as I wouldn't want to feel the wrath of the grammer nazi fraudster...

Yes, I'm jealous because you lack the intelligence to figure out something so trivial, I'm also jealous because "YOUS" to broke to pay to have a screen fixed. Also....I'm jealous that you have a friend that works for sprint, actually extremely jealous. I only have a brother and two close friends that work for sprint.
How does one go about getting only one friend that works for sprint and then begin to radiate this sprint branded swag that clearly creates uncontrollable amounts of jealousy because of said friend?

I think some one needs to calm down. I don't have any friends at sprint...any more. I use to work for them but not as a phone tech but cell tower maintenance. The guy is looking to get hooked up. Good for him. I don't agree with it but to each their own.

"YOUR" absolutely right. Myself and others don't mind the cost of insurance going up because of false claims.
That's the problem with this world instead of holding people accountable for their actions, their stupidity is excused with acts such as these (eg. Ins cost goes up). Same concept as welfare. How many of us are ecstatic that our stolen tax dollars go to funding that?

I'll just keep my fingers crossed that he has rooted and flashed a ROM, so when he does brick and thinks he's pulling a fast one they see the binary and tell him to go orally stimulate a goat.

I don't hear Sprint *****ing about all the money they have taken throughout the years for insurance I hardly ever use. Or how about these ****ty 3g speeds they give us? I don't hear Sprint saying they would give us a credit for all the money we put in their pocket for data which is barely usable.. Some of you are too funny!

haha thanks everyone and no they didnt offend me at all cause im not a noob but im also not a developer, i just cant get my phone into download mode because of the usb port malfunction i actually didnt know it was bad at the the time only because it still charged and what not but i traded an HD2 for it and was done messing with it, i wanted something new and its going to be new to me also installing this usb port haha so wish me luck i also bought one of those usb jigs off ebay to hopefully get me into download mode, everytime i use my cable it goes straight into stock recovery if it wasnt for that i would be flashing away! ive tried everything getting it into DL mode, also ive tried getting it warrantied but tmboile says ive had too many exchanges ha so im SOL on that one, i had the g2x before the hd2 and suppovsevly according to them its my fault they kept sending me POS phones esp since the g2x has been EOLed i mean cmon. they knew that phone had nothing but problems why still send it to people

No problem, also welcome to the community. Hope you are able to fix that usb.
One last thing though, now don't quote me on this, but I remember reading that using the usb cord from a g2x or I think any lg phone would get you into download mode. Not exactly sure how it worked, but I think you turned off the phone, connected the usb to the phone, then to the computer. And then power on the phone and it would take you to dl mode. Not 100% sure but you might want to look into that

Don't listen to this guy, he's the one who was asking if face unlock could be done on our phone now that we have Ics.. *facepalm* Obviously he never looked at the settings of his phone.

LOL!
To the OP, best of luck and let us know how it goes. There are DIY tutorials a well for usb port repairs.
And as for buying used phones, we must be careful. But otherwise, I say go for it. My SGS2 was purchased used via Craigslist and it's been running great with zero problems. I suggest everyone considering a used purchase visit the xda forum associated with the phone and see what kinds of problems/defects have been common with the phone so you will know what things to look for when you make the buy.
