Endor posted:I switch between two Thunderbolt cases and naked (with a screen protector) depending on my mood. To help you out. Scotch tape will pull lint off of a screen protector without loving it all up. Also. Put the phone higher than the surface you're working on. Like throw it on a book or something and be ocd as poo poo about dust before you lay it down. You can put those on and off 100 times if you keep the work area clean.

Fitzy77 posted:Thanks for the feedback man. To explain, money's a big issue, which is why the higher end phones are basically impossible for me to get. I'm not entirely picky; my current phone is a Droid Eris. Anything would be an improvement. What about the Revolution 4G? I can get it for $29.99, and it's really the only 4G phone I can afford. The biggest complaint I'm seeing is the battery life, but my Droid Eris rarely makes it through a single day anyway. Posting from my new revolution. If I signed a contract id be pissed. 150 off Craigslist. I couldn't be happier. Battery life is drat near garbage and there's just no community support I've seen. Pretty solid phone over all thought. Mileage may very but I'm happy. You'll need to root and debloat some. Or freeze some of the bullshit. But for what it is. Its not awful.

Gwaihir posted:Those two things are the hype, really, that and guaranteed updates. I certainly like motorola build quality better, coming from a Droid X, but the lack of the "Hewn from a solid block" feel on the Nexus isn't bad enough to make me dislike it when weighed against the benefits. Its a samsung thing. I have an SGS II and to be honest ive never had any issues with build quality. It "feels" cheapy just like my nexus, but its solid enough i think. Moto just over engineers the poo poo out of phones.

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Because it's their job. If their numbers are too low on attachment rates they get penalized for it. That and some people really use insurance. I have it on mine, why? I tend to trash phones pretty hard and I typically hate screen protectors and cases. Figure, 100 bucsk or whatever is cheaper than 500+ and insurance is cheap enough. I wont run it full contract, but I do run it for most of my non upgradable time. That or those people who tend to have phones stolen every 6 months. No idea how they manage it, But they do. Theres a need. Just not everyone needs it. Tho good reps have that poo poo figured out before they even ask, so excuse the new guys i guess. And no, we dont get paid poo poo on insurance, Never have never will and it barely helps our attachment rates (any carrier) anyways. We'd rather push tethering or something. Maybe he was new?

Bad reps do that to ya man. Good reps dont give a gently caress because we're so far ahead on goals it dont matter

DeceasedHorse posted:I was able to get one yesterday in person, actually finding a store that had one in stock was a bit of an adventure though, fortunately I got off work early or it would not have been worth it. I've kept mine 100% stock. I'm sure ill root and poo poo eventually, But right now, Its pretty solid without. And this is coming from someone who's rooted, jailbroke, or threw some sort of rom on every smartphone ive owned since the old windows mobile days. I really dig stock on this thing for some reason. kstatix posted:The key to getting them on is thoroughly cleaning your screen and dusting it off with a compressed air can. Apply the protector immediately after removing it's backing as fast as you can line it up. If the protector has cutouts for things like the speaker, LED indicator, microphone, try to line it up with those because having the screen protector over something like the speaker will cause it to bubble in that spot and it's annoying as poo poo. You actually peel the whole back off? I always do the "top" or wherever the tag to start pulling is, lay that part down, make sure its straight, then pull it all off. That way I dont have to pick it up 30 times to make sure its straight, then again I shake like loving crazy. The tape trick, Rules tho, been doing that the last few years working for att and honestly its the best way to unfuckup a screen protector in a hurry. Cool tip, Packing tape if you dont have canned air works really well for all the little bullshit lint that wont come off or keeps showing up everytime you think its "clean". Just lay down some like you would a screen protector, and peel it off. Pretty quick and dirty, But it works. kstatix posted:A lot can change in a couple years. A $400 deposit doesn't always mean bad credit as I've seen people with that high of a deposit just because they had no credit history whatsoever. Unfortunately, there's simply no way around it. The good news is you will get it back with 3% interest, but almost nobody can stomach a $400 deposit if they have that kind of credit anyway. No offense, as I'm in the same situation you are. My credit's hosed and if I wasn't a verizon employee I would definitely be looking at a deposit and as a consumer I would definitely find another route. AT&T is brutal. 400 deposit on big red means 500-750 on ATT. EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Dec 24, 2011 |

kitten smoothie posted:How long does a carrier let you string them along without paying? I always assumed they'd cut your phone off once you're more than maybe 2 weeks late on your bill. So for that it seems like their potential exposure if someone flakes out is the ETF + 1 or 2 month's service, so $400-$550. 750 PER LINE. AT&T just dont want deadbeat customers. And statistically bad credit = lovely payment history somewhere.

bull3964 posted:I didn't say leave, I said re-up. If its a corp store they wont care just like we dont really care about retaining customer at a retail level for AT&T. Dont get me wrong, Reps care about your experience, but upgrade fees are just part of the process. And honestly, Its not hard to box the phone back up and say have a nice day. Really, Id just call customer service about it and complain, get a credit from retentions later and call it a day. Theres no sense is stressing over it when theres a department purely to give out credits and save customers. And no Corp LOVES customers out of contract, Its pure profit at that point. If you arnt paying them right now you will later when you realize every other carrier is the same way and at least you're used to the way big red does things. To be honest, I'm actually shocked verizon had the balls to roll out 30$ fees after AT&T raised theres. Should of kept it off to look like good guys.

Tedious_Bastard posted:Why would I lie about my screen time, and why would leaving my phone in my pocket while it drains the battery make me dumb as hell? The GN is notorious for waking up while not in use and destroying batteries. I've been lucky, I love mine. My first one, sadly had a charging port flake out. But the new one is just as solid as the first which is near perfect. My only complaints the touch screen input weirdness (Not responding to multitouch sometimes). But whatever, I dont play games enough to care. It makes me sad seeing so many bad experiences. I really love my phone.

adebisi lives posted:So I'm eligible for an upgrade and I'm stuck between the galaxy nexus and the razr maxx. From what I've read the razr has better build quality and an awesome battery but its stuck in android update limbo for who knows how long. On the other hand the nexus has the latest software, a bigger screen, but it feels a bit flimsier it sounds like the battery/reception is kinda poo poo. So yea, I have no idea what to get, any input would be greatly appreciated. If the maxx would of been out when I bought my nexus, It would of been a much harder choice for me. I love my nexus, Had very little issues (1 RMA, Charge port stopped working, but Red overnighted a new one, so whatever), I do still deal with the multitouch dead spots thing, so playing some games is really loving annoying when it bugs out. You can sometimes get it back by flipping the screen off then back on, but some games wont go back to landscape and break. If you're huge into mobile gaming id personally knowing this would of gone maxx. But really, I dont game on my phone, so it dont really effect my actual usage of the phone. If verizons warranty/insurance sucked, I would of returned it and gone maxx. Im still on the fence as I have an upgrade sitting again and am eyeing a maxx myself. But I just really love my phone. Hope that helps. Its a bit of a ramble, But its just so hard to express how much I really do love my nexus. But i'm also in the industry for this stuff and I dont mind small bugs because the mass of the devices out there have pretty crappy home launches and dialers. They all seem to feel 2001 still and its annoying. I realize I could just root, rom, or just simply replace the launcher, grab a dialer, etc and make it whatever I want. With my nexus I didnt have to do anything. It just all looks pretty good, only has a few tiny things thats annoying, and its 4.0 that isnt broken. I guess what im sayin, If you dont mind being a beta tester, dealing with delayed updates because of the carrier/google nonsense, and pay for insurance or whatever. Just go nexus. Its alot of fun unless you're a picky rear end in a top hat (Or really do end up getting a few bad back to back, it happens, been there), but for all the ones that dont suck, I really think all of us are having a super time with it. These are my opinions. No fact sheet data or anything, just from my purchase in dec til now. EbolaIvory fucked around with this message at 00:53 on May 7, 2012 |

ElwoodCuse posted:Ugh. So I guess I should just get the Razr Maxx now? I was going to wait for the Fighter/HD but between this poo poo and my Droid X being too old and too slow, I guess I might as well. Right now on our family share me, my brother, and my sister all have the $30 unlimited, and my parents don't have/don't want smartphones. So it would go from costing $90 for unlimited (although I think this is really 5 gigs, no?) to what, $100 for all 3 of us to share 10 gigs? Same boat, Im thinking im going razr maxx. I want to believe the guys with S3s saying they get maxx battery life, but I dont know if I can buy it. Plus those same guys dont totally bitch about the gnex, But its the only gripe on the gnex I have because I live on my phone. Well and quality control, but whatever.

Drifter287 posted:So I managed to crack the screen on my Galaxy Nexus. I was at the beach and had it in my bag, wrapped in a shirt, but I guess some sand must have gotten in there at some point? I thought it was a scratch at first, but it's gotten bigger over the last two days and now the goes across the entire screen. The refurb will still be under verizon warranty. Ive had good success with verizons refurbs. Mileage may very, But Id just pay the 100 bucks and move on. Your current one was eventually going to gently caress up anyways because you know, samsung etc. My 4th one (yup) seems to be ok on jelly bean, But im daily driving my maxx now, so whatever. But its a "refurb" and its been solid.
