Is it just because you don't like KK? I know there is some sentiment on the forums about KK and there is some type of a flame war. Maybe some dev will pick this up.

Haha, dude.. If you where a developer wouldn't you want done type of compensation for your efforts? If you want something that bad just party for it. We are lucky more of these guys do all of this for us without asking for anything in return. That said, 5$ for a rom is not that bad man.. Thats less than 1 meal at a fast food place.
Support android, support our phone and the developers who make it better and better daily. I don't know, just my take on the situation.

Just asking but how much are you paying for cell service? How much did you pay for the phone that came not fully functional? Seems if you want to OC to 1.3 and have it fully functional $5 is a small price to pay considering the amount of work involved.
I'm with the OP on this one. I think it's retarded to pay a subscription to be a "premium member". I don't know why people felt they needed to attack the OP....to each their own I guess.
I dont think they attacked the op, but most of this community knows that developers put alot of hardwork and effort into kernels, roms, ect. They have to put up with complaints, and people whinning. They have to offer assistance for issues, and asnwer thousands of questions. 5 dlls is a small fee to pay

I'm sorry if you feel we are attacking the OP. Do a quick search and you will see he has posted this same topic several times in the last 24hrs. Maybe that's part of the reason. In my opinion, if he want's that extra bump it would seem like a small price to pay. Phone is plenty fast enough for most users at 1.2 and that's free thanks to the contributions from users and the kindness and dedication of the developers here. Just my 2 pennies.

Yeah, at least for me, I have no problem paying developers for their hard work, but over the course of a year, 5 dollars a month becomes 60 dollars which, yeah, is really more that this is worth, especially if we want to spend it on other things as well (other software, etc). Just saying. 5 dollars once is one thing, 5 dollars / month is another.
I don't really understand what the problem is here, ask king for his code. It's the beauty of the GPL. It would be nice to get that code, Eugene's 2.2 kernel source and that nice I9000 filesystem mod all together in a neat little kernel for 2.2 on the vibrant.

the way things are going with htc, motorola, etc. locking the roms with acutal hardware - whats the point.
if we keep gabbing over 5 bucks what is going to keep devs willing to spend their time and brains, if people are going to cry about it once they release it.
pretty soon it won't be the developers or google we are yelling about it will be the handset manufactur and the provider.
What gets me is there are several people over at KKs board right now that have paid and have received no password for platinum access nor has anyone even tried to help. That isn't right.
If you head over to kks forum under the Vibrant development you'll see several people that have paid days ago with no password nor any help. Not cool.....

My thoughts are scattered. At one point i'd say a 1.2 oc is not going to pale much in comparison to a 1.3. My other thoughts would be a one time fee is more reasonable but also harder to swallow. Would you rather pay fifteen dollars straight up or monthly cost. I can't see anyone paying fifteen straight up.
Other thoughts. It's disappointing how much well get for free and are not satisfied. However I think donating is a good way to show appreciation I do not believe these things should be done with the intention of making money but if they at putting this much time into it and not getting enough donations to make it worth it to where they have to feel the need to charge. That's just too bad. In the end if you don't like the cost of a product don't buy it...

Yeah but you also have people over at kks forum that aren't receiving what they paid for nor any support on the matter so why would anyone that's been to that thread and seen that pay knowing they won't receive any support.
Now I've been giving money to developers for a long time but I'm not giving anyone my money that can't show a little support now and then.

Unoffcial manufactures and carrier dev's
Yes let's not tinker with our electronics let's all run stock software on all our devices from smart-phones pc's sat receivers ect. Let's all pay out the ass every year for new hardware/software like I really need my phone oc to 1.5ghz I like being locked to a market and have to buy apps that the dev's of apps get taken for 20% by the market (apple, Google, ms) ect. I love my phone locked to the carrier that charges 10 cents a sms for 160 character e-mail. Let's just assume that a 1ghz smart-phone needs to be a quad core 4.0 with 2 gig internal ram. So I can play 3d games on a 4" screen while I work in open office on my power point pres. and sms and make a call at same time while my nice 27" computer is 20 feet away. I love having 10 old cell phones lying around love figuring out what the hell is this charger is for. For god sakes man please let me give US $$$ to the Asian countries instead.............. (they actually own everything anyway)
PC's get smaller Phones gets bigger and tablets are just baffling me. Cant's we just get an implant in our brains for all of it?
Sorry recieving an OTA update to my head have to lay down 8 hours so I have to end this rant....... Sure hope the gas.lib gets fixed this time it's been hell farting out of my ears........

Hey at least your getting your sleep OTA update. I'm still lost due to my bad GPS update and don't get me started about my frozen yogurt. I'm just trying to get a better taste in my mouth!
I don't see the point of OC-ing any more. We only have one dev doing kernels. Also because once we like 1.4 GHz stable, then those same ppl asking for that kernel is gonna be complaining about the battery being drained too quick. U can't please noobs...its impossible to keep noobs .just my .02 opinion
I am in the boat of a massively delayed preorder and plan on going the in store route.
Hoping to find it at some not so popular electronics retailers this week

I called my local bestbuy asking about the prime, she said its coming soon lol. I asked about tomorrow she said no.
Ya this thread should help out in determining whether we're looking at a Jan in-store release or if this thing will actually be in stores by the date Asus said it would be, the 19th of December... Keep us posted if you see anything!
I am hoping by 2nd week of jan really. But I will keep an eye here to see if there is some spottings out there.

What makes you so sure he's school aged? Getting out of class at 1 sounds an awful lot like college to me. And I know plenty of people, undergrad, grad school, and working, who ride bikes rather than drive (even for pretty long distances) because they like the exercise and consider it a way to make a positive ecological impact.
My roomate rides becuase he doesn't have a car/lincense/LOVES doing it. It is like 25F outside and he is riding his bike just because he loves being on it
Hahaha you guys. I'm actually a senior in high school, just getting prepped for college. Might as well get this early so I can do my homeworks on my free periods at school. Plus this is my Christmas, Birthday, and Chinese New Year present, plus I'm throwing some of my own money in there. And traveling by bicycle here in New York is much faster than traveling by car/public transport in short-mid range distances. Only problem is, you end up getting to places all sticky and sweaty looking.
Yea totally misleading header there. Was hoping someone found some place that will actually have them in stock tomorrow. I called BB and they also told me January. Guess I will be calling Gamestop in the morning to see if they are going to have any but I actually doubt any stores will actually have them in stock at the stores until January which really Sucks.
header isn't all that misleading.
anyway keep the thread on topic, i am want to find this device in store this week.
Fascinating conversation about bicycles on XDA. Sorry to interupt that. But any chance any of you east coast folks have had any luck finding a Transformer Prime at a Best Buy or other retail store today?
My Best Buy will be opening in about 40 minutes. I suspect a trip over there will be a waste of time though.

Posts like this remind me of how ignorant some of us are. I am going to be getting my rezound in a day or two (I took advantage of the $50 deal and will be using both this and my nexus) and I'm excited no doubt, but just thinking of how geographically different certain parts of the world are and when they get access to phones versus us is something that makes me feel kinda bad... Congrats man seriously . The last thing I was super excited about was when I made my first PC and I got the parts shipped overnight... I couldn't sleep and the truck didn't get to my house till like 5pm... Yea...
So you'll be using the GSM band of the Rezound aye? Since Kenya doesn't have a CDMA network I believe.
Yeah for $50 I jumped all over the rezound. I was going to wait and see what the next HTC phone coming to VZW this year, but $50 is a great price for this phone. I also was reading the post about s-off last Friday and hoping this happens soon. The Rezound is my first phone from HTC with out the s-off.
You have every reason to lose sleep. The rezound is awesome. You are absolutely going to love it!

No. Regular universities get the best educators they can afford (and Harvard being one of the richest schools in the world can afford some of the best ones, hence their higher tuition prices.)
For profit schools' first priority is turning out profit.
just to give you an idea, I am going to school for computer programming at my local community college. It is costing me $1700 per semester at that price over the 2 years that will be $10,200. My brother is going to a for profit college, Stevens henager, and will be paying around $82,000 for the same degree which is non transferable. Seems to me that it would be a no brainer. But what ever makes you happy I guess

i graduated form there with a bachelor of science in computer animation. not a bad school. you will work your ass off. class are scheduled in 4 hour blocks 24 hours a day. class are one month long. you normal do two classes a month. you can not work. every thing you get you pay for the macbook and the ipad and nexus is incorporated in the amount you pay for school. last time i checked they do not have dorms.
you are responsible for your entire tuition after the first 6 classes. normal college is a cake walk compared to this school. but they do have some of the best teachers that you will find.
half my professors in the animation department were ex Disney lead animators
that is my experience going there in Orlando the online experience i have no idea

They're so "hip"
This is quite interesting. Going to school is not something I am really looking to do. I just want a hobby. I been looking up android themes and how to do. Has went well just yet but I am patient.
So I was wondering what you guys thought? I have wanted to work there for a while. I've been known as the go to phone guy in my circles and really like helping people and showing them all the amazing things that can be done with these phones. I have a job interview in the next week or two coming up and have really wanted this. Always been great with electronics, computers, and phones. Been hacking phones since the back in the day razor. There are things I want to accomplish within Sprint. Better support for our community, better tech support, better service overall. I have come from working hard labor construction jobs that I really don't belong in and have wanted a change for a long time. I moved from south Jersey to Knoxville Tennessee to get a fresh start and back on my feet, and away from all of the negatives that have held me back. I feel I am finally ready for this. So what do u guys think?

I think you just nailed the interview.

Good luck to you and hope that you get the job.
Your resume was good enough to get you the interview so now you have to sale yourself and tell Sprint why they should hire you. After reading what you just wrote, I definitely think you should use that as your 'so tell me a little bit about yourself' speech, also called elevator talk. Keep it under 2 to 3 minutes and the rest of the interview should be some basic tech questions, which I'm pretty sure you're nail, just don't BS any questions you don't know the answer to. You got this, I think you'll kick that interview in the nuts! Good luck and let us know what happens.

We'll have one of our own on the inside >
Thanks, my friend that is really professional and business oriented and has been helping me with resume, and interview q&a getting me ready. I love this community and never liked how the big dogs treat us when we come into the store. I want too be one of the ones that helps us if our phone is rooted or we are one of the more advanced customers. I want to work to make all of us fellow androiders, phone modders, normal phone users and even iPhone users more welcome and enjoy their phone even more.

I'm actually going to my local sprint store tomorrow to inquire about a position they have available at a store about 25 mins away not ideal, but your resume sounds pretty close to mine, I'm in retail now selling dog food and i could care less about that, phones on the other hand i bet i could set records at my store. Usually when i walk in there i educate the employees lol. Good luck, maybe sprint will hire two great reps. Btw, are u going for a franchise or a corporate store?

You should be fine and you should get the job but things you need to remember:
If you're selling phones, you won't be selling phones to people like us. You'll be selling phones to extra regular people. So all of your knowledge on here is pretty much irrelevant. If someone wants to do something and you yourself know that they could easily do it rooted, if you tell them that, you may be messing them up. And most people don't want to have to do all of this extra work for simple features. So telling them they'd have to root or something like that will actually steer them away from android and if Sprint wants you to push Android, you're hurting yourself and your sales.
Also, how you go about fixing things will be pretty irrelevant. You can't root the devices and unroot so at the end of the day if something goes down you're still gonna have to go through those set up procedures they lay out...
So having all of this knowledge is great but you may end up hating it all in the end because you can't go in there and do what you want. You can't really say what you want because you'll be around a different audience. This site and all of your hacking experience will be irrelevant and will probably go over most people's heads. And your troubleshooting methods will be limited.
All in all, you may be overqualified. If you really want to work with phones, look into internships and dev work where you get to do what you want. Going into Sprint and their own system won't make you feel any better.
Edit: Had to fix spacing. For some reason the text field would go off screen so I had to enter in new lines so I could see it. Just went back myself in a different browser to fix it.
Best wishes to OP, and very good points by ms (and many others)
From my Evo LTE, yup.
Talk about how you love phones and are great with them, but don't mention rooting and/or stuff related to root/s-off.

I worked for the largest private staffing company in the world and can offer a couple things or rehash what others have said but most important thing in to leave your prospects realizing the value goes both ways. They are hiribg you and you are potentially hiring them. Sell that confidence and you are golden.

Franchise. Yes, and selling phones is only to get my foot in the door. Tech would be next and down the line management. I have had good experiences with Sprint but it is the bad ones that always stick out. Those are what I wish to improve upon.

I've understood that for a long time now. We are not normal people here on xda, lol. Sometimes people just need to be shown how easily settings can be changed or what app they are looking for to suite their needs. The simpler people will need iPhones or even the dying flip type rugged phones for the construction industry. Normal people don't want to here about rooting. In fact I refuse to s-off/root others phones besides my own because they could seriously damage the OS, or it would turn out to be up to a 2 yr commitment maintaining that phone. Our modded eVos are in a whole different class that can't be touched unless it's relatively the same kind of modded phone. I also want to add their troubleshooting methods to my own. I know the tools we use but I want to know theirs as well. In personal life, people ask for such simple things like how to transfer music from the computer to their phone. Things that will bring them joy for yrs on a phone. A lot of people are still computer illiterate, but I'd rather change their thought process about phones than computers because these are truly the future. I practically only use my computer to play movies connected to my 50 inch. But a phone, well I've used that how everyone else uses a computer for yrs. Some of us on xda are light to moderate users that just want better battery to last through the day. I consider myself at the extreme of heavy user. Pretty much on it doing anything I want for as much time allows that I'm awake. One of those things is read, read, read on xda. Again I love this place, and you all show amazing support.

Wha kind of retailer is it? I know it's a franchise. But which one?
And congrats OP, good luck. I landed a job with Sprint in September and am the top dog at my store now. I love this job and I always try and right the wrongs of the world by actually being a good phone rep because not everyone is! It's really a great gig.

Yes, that is similar to my outlook, I've taken things apart since forever. I actually did a tear down video on the e3d before it was released. Good luck to ya!
