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.

I have a Galaxy Nexus

Hello again Everyone...
You might remember me from when I got a pre-release Galaxy S II and made some (admittedly terrible (sorry)) videos about it and answered as many questions as I could for you.
Well... now I have a Galaxy Nexus (which will definitely be launched on Thursday).
I'm suffering from jetlag and will probably be asleep soon - but I will do my best to answer any and all of your questions (forgive me if this turns out to be tomorrow morning).
Ask away and I'll get back to everyone if there's any interest!
Cheers,
Dom

Show off...

How are you sure it will be launched Thursday?

more details, like to who, how do you know, links, yada yada...

Sorry to jump on you like this(as everyone else will), but I would really like to know about the sound quality in the phone. If you could just compare it to the S2 or any other phones you having lying around, that would be really great. Thanks a lot

in the UK, US, both???

Do you have the final version?
Please test and tell us about the battery life.
Thanks

I've seen a few comments on these but I would like to know what your opinion the screen brightness/visibility in sunlight, battery life (a more documented response would be great instead of all the vague "heavy use" battery reviews) and camera quality. I'm not hugely dependent on camera but my Droid Incredible really bothers me because the camera is very finicky in quality and performance. I know the GN is supposed to be almost instant picture capture but how does it handle moving objects (for example 90% of my pictures are fast moving pets/animals)?
I'll probably think of more questions later but I am trying to decide what to upgrade too since my D.Inc is probably not going to live much longer (R.I.P to my first Android phone).

new here... found this forum googling this Droid photo attachment. figured id share.

so yah...
cool forum... love my droid Galaxy S3 and my Galaxy tablet.
I was googling this photo attachment product i saw on gizmag.com called Mobi-Lens and i found a couple of posts on this site about it so i thought id share it.
Us Android users dont get much gadgets/photo-accessories... this seems legit, even if you own an different manufacturer then Samsung, im sure it will work.
I got a red combo $60, beats my friends $80 olliclip for his iPhone... PLUS he has to remove his case every time AND only use the back side camera... SUCKER haha.
Now i dont have to lug around my DSLR when i go hiking or biking for some nice scenic photos.
just search mobi-lens on kickstarter.com or google it.

Welcome! Ya this is one of the best if not the best forum for all things mobile specially Androids!
I checked the item you speak off before and its cool however ill wait till it goes onto production as it is still under kickstarter phase.
Nevertheless our S3s have some amazing camera options, just wish it had SlowMotion video i myself had a One S after my S2 before I had my S3 and that was the only reason I miss the one s lol

Twins can face unlock ... Wait for it...

I have a twin. It is possible for her face to unlock my Galaxy. Any female/male twin combos with Galaxy or twins in general. If you haven't figured it out I'm a male. Not sure how I feel about this.

Haha I'm assuming you guys are adults that would suck if you guys were teens bickering someone would be in trouble.
I might have my brother and sister try this out to see if it really works

Well cant test that you should try it out in the same room and position facial expressions etc try it im curious as well lol

My brother has unlocked mine and we are not even twins we just look at lot alike. It worked like 6 out of 10 times witch is pretty good or bad how ever you look at it. Lol. With the voice and face unlock it didn't unlock but with his face and my voice it did. Hope this helps

fraternal twins are as related(genetically on 50%) as any other regular siblings so this doesn't have to be restricted to fraternal twins but could be asked of any siblings

A picture of your face could probably unlock your phone, no twin required
Now notice I said probably, I don't know for sure

Yea were adults. Were not alike in a lot of ways though. She found it nice but not cool... Girls... Wish I was enthused enough to Google a face palm to her reaction.

I'm not sure how it works but when I set it up and when she used it, it was in the same room. I've unlocked my pone with different expressions so I guess she would be able to. Two important things though. First I think you have to look at the camera and not the phone if that makes sense, my sister agrees. Secondly her hair couldn't really be in the frame.

My cousin (we share the same grandmother) said her twin daughters can unlock her phone... Gets me worried about twisted kids and Google wallet

My brother (14) and dad (46) can face unlock each other's phones.

This isn't surprising to me since my uncle who looks almost nothing like me (with the exception of skin color) is able to unlock my phone with face lock 9 times out of ten. I just figured my phone is racist and thinks all black people look the same :/
Sent from over there....

Yes, I would think so.

i showed me cousin that feature and he also was able to unlock it with his face. that is not secure at all.

In just the right light, I can open my brothers phone with face unlock.

I have tested the picture of me quite a few times so far I am 17/17 with it. NOT the most secure lock mechanisms.

Is there and app that will...

I think my girlfriend is going thru my phone when I'm in the shower, going to grab and bite to eat, or anytime I leave my cell phone around that gives her the opportunity to look thru it. BTW..I'm not cheating on her.
Is there an app out there that will log when someone uses/unlocks my phone and or sends a pic of her when she tries to access my phone. I don't believe in unlock passwords, cause I have nothing to hide.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!

You could always clear your recent app history and check it when you think she looked at it unless she would know how to clear that. Then you would know what she opened too.

Get the app with the password but give her the password. Set that app up but use nova launcher to hide it. Give her the password upfront but just tell hr you want a secure. But in all honesty, crazy girls like that are hard to deal with. Unless you're very patient and love her you might want to reconsider. I once got in trouble for two girls talking about my small ears in Korean on a subway. Though I am Korean I don't know the language but my crazy gf at the time did. Un****ing real the situations you can go through with women like that.
...

Best advice is ask her.
Yeah people lie, but if you have nothing to hide she should have put that together by now. If you've proved trustworthy and she still has issues then talking about it would be far better then trying to bust her looking for something that isn't there.
Wife and I have open phone policy. Look at it all you want.
/Lecture. Sorry...

Sounds like something Tasker profile might be able to do. That apps options are almost limitless!

This is by far the best idea, simple easy and free.
Another option would be starting a logcat > logcat.text command (can't remember thr exact code) and that will show the screen go up and what apps are loaded and such

Use face unlock. It's not as telling of suspicion as switching to a pin code, but if you're having to assume she's snooping, as opposed to blatantly picking it up in front of you and cruising around it for sh!ts and gigs(my wife) , then it stands to reason that she's not going to confront you about it, if you just decided to use a "nifty feature you like on the phone"
