A thread to end all the hopes of others.
I went to best buy on my lunch break 12pm east. Asked for my Tbolt and they said Verizon has delayed it and no date is known yet.
So there you have it.
I got my $50 back because I really didn't even want to support Best Buy anyway, I hope they go out of business, I f*ing hate that store.*(not because they didnt have my tbolt)
Don't believe rumors other people post from talking to CSR. Lets face it folks, most people hired at Best Buy don't know their own head from their ass, so any info received from them is just be considered untrue.
Cool story bro.

OMG I can't believe this. So now instead of having tons of threads confirming dates we are starting threads unconfirming dates. Can't we just keep this to one thread.
For God Sake where is the MOD for the Thunderbolt thread!!
No offense to you in particular OP

How do I get my $50 back? When I pre-ordered, they gave me a $50 gift card and a receipt. I went in yesterday to return it and cancel my pre-order. They told me they couldn't refund the gift card. Did you get the gift card too?

This is a thread to end all. No need to post in every "Tbolt releases Feb 14th thread"
Also mods on XDA don't do much here. With so many forums to moderate, and not enough mods, stuff takes awhile to be taken care of, if ever at all...
Your working you way on a ban with that talk,
Andrew has to mod two forums so don't complain

Take it to the service desk, say I want my refund because you lied and said my phone would be here and its the 14th and no phone. I want my money back and will take my business to Verizon.
You dont have to say all that, but you can just say you want your money back because the phone didn't show. Don't let them feed you any ****. Just start *****ing. Best Buy employees are dumb in general. They hire people that don't know jack **** about electronics.

The problem isn't the english used in the posts that is why I don't have a problem reading them. The problem is their existence and the unnecessary threads crowding of this section of xda. Although I guess complaining about it will bring no solution either so... I guess it will be what it will be.
It will settle down when the phone comes out.

Yea you are right... I guess the fact that i've seen all of these threads indicates i'm either really bored or i'm looking forward to this phone just as much as everyone else.

yea don't worry so much about it. Soon the forum will be flooded with noob questions and noobs posting in the wrong section. Look at the dInc section of the forum..
This the first time a forum has been this crazy over a phone, and it won't be the last.

Once the phone comes out most of my time will be in the Thundertbolt Development and Hacking thread, the noobs can have the General section.

Lol thanks for the information everyone but I'm not new here lol. I have not seen this many threads pop up in 2 days and I had the incredible on release day as I had most winmo phones (with keyboards of course) on release days. I guess I'm just surprised by this many threads. I bet the EVO section was this way before release. Maybe the HD2 as well.. I dunno

That program is a ripoff
For a phone under $350 its $40...
For a phone over $350 think it was $50-60.
Just another scam by best buy.
but for a $749 phone retail, 12-18 months later its worth 225 or 150 18-24 months which is why I think they're pushing it with the thunderbolt. For less expensive phones it obviously wouldn't be worth it as much

You tell us. Go to a shop and ask. Send a mail to wherever sells phones. Whatever.
I think they may have a better idea than anyone here.
The price will drop a little bit , it costs now ~500$ for SIM free S2 and i guess it will stay between 500$ to 450$ for the rest of the year

Seriously ? As someone wise on here said in another thread about 5 minutes ago (or words to that effect) "Think about it logically".
Of course the price is going to drop in many places. New model coming, telcos flogging the phone on plans in particular will be wanting to get rid of them; I.E. Used to be on say $39 a mth +$5 per mth for handset plan now available for $29 per mth +$0.
Not exactly rocket surgery.

Hi, as you have maybe seen in the team supersonva thread, we have managed (mostly tdmcode, oisis and fromnowon for the way to get it boot) to port ICS over for 4.0 . For helping oisis to develop for our devices, he needs to have a device (pretty obvious no? :silly so I tought to donate money and buy a device to him.
Current donators with value:
Zaclimon: $35
Obsuresword: $25
Oisis: $13
Daniel644:$5
Ijimaniac: $30
GoldFlame09: $25
Also I need some suggestions like
Which device to buy (Intl or US)
Where to buy it (very cheap, maybe ebay)
If you have more ideas please post them below.
Current money we have/need: $108/$105
Here's the donation link in case you want to make a donation:
Finished!!
And Thanks to the people who donated . It's very appreciated.
Amazin.co,
I think it would be great to get a international device (I have a US) because noisyfox has a patch, right? You could get a lightly used or refurb from Amazon ($120-$150). Even thought I'm a 5.0 user, it's cool reading how you guys managed to get CM9 and hopefully the kernel on the 4.0. The 5.0 forum is probably already dead, and gmillz has probably already abandoned his work.
The cheapest player 4.0 I could find is on eBay for $134.99 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=261048525557&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=60611713735

the noisyfox's patch is for 5.0 only. Also the 4.0 has a kind of system that detect the type of the device. Also be sure that the device can be sent in europe because that's where he lives.

Yeah, well basically I think it's the only way to donate with paypal.
Palpay is so so so unpopular in China that I couldn't give a donate now. I don't have a credit card. Our students here mostly use debit card so I couldn't active any palpay account.
Is there any other way to donate? T T

Hmm I don't know, do you know another site that can make donation? Also I saw that the players in china are cheap, do you know a place where I can buy them?

Not really. Taobao is popular in China but electronic products sold in China are universally much more expensive than those in foreign countries...
So you said the one costs $90 should be a secondhand.
I ask the shopkeeper and he said those are SECONDHAND.

NVM what I said earlier. It seems that I will use an agent who will buy the thing for me and they do accept paypal.
EDIT: it seems that we would need at least $120-130 to buy the device (all included)
I know I said I would, but can you make the account (brand new one) for the fundraiser. I didn't know how much info it wanted, and the last thing I need right now is my parents ticked off at me for making a paypal account .
I guess if you wanted I could talk to them about it (especially since they want me to create my own so that I can "make money" off of what I am doing ), but that would be a LOT more work convincing them (possibly).

I can make another one but there's already mine (see at first post) running and we already have $25 (now $23 because of commission from paypal). So do I make another one or we keep mine?

Hmm, I suppose that we can use yours, if it will make it easier. I will link to your account in the ICS thread if you put a donation link up. Also, I suggest we donate an INTL device (as they are easier to dev on because of the home button issue). Perhaps someone looking to get rid of their SGP would be willing to donate their device for maybe 80-90 dollars, making it a lot easier for both parties.

The donation link is already here :silly:
EDIT: We found finally the device . If we include hanthesolo's donation, we need $50-55 more (approx)
Ok so this may be a little bump I know but I add the money we have and the total we need. This don't include the internationnal shipping because my donation will be the EMS express shipping to poland. It's basically for the value of the device.
I have a Samsung Galaxy III, and I LOVE it, there is only one Problem, it is not eXfat/SDXC compatible, I've heard there are a number of ways to fix this (one person suggested Rooting it, another suggested some sort of unofficial Patch, there were few other suggestion suggestions that I can't remember )
I was wondering if someone could advise me as to what the best option would be and/or point me to a how to guide
Much Appreciated...

AFAIK the only way you can make any modifications is to have root permissions, so you would need to root. All the guides and tuts are in the General thread.

don't worry, I'll stress test them for a few weeks before I start selling them, at this point SDXC micros only go up to 64gb on the "official" market so this is the only way... Want me to let you know when/if they pass the stress test? I'll give you a special deal.

If I ever get an invite I'll let you know. I signed up the second it went live...
I have 50+ Android figures and about 70 Android pins among my Android key chains and other things. My wife collects them more than I do but yeah I like Android just a little bit
That's the whole reason I want an invite [emoji14]
I got an invite... but honestly never really had any interest in signing up. lol
I mean... the plan would be fairly cheap.... if it were just for me. But I'm on a family plan with my parents with 10GB of shared data (which we don't use much of, though it's nice to have).
But.... i REALLY want one of those kits! Too bad there probably isn't any way to gift the invite to someone who wants it.

You really shouldn't talk about things you know nothing about.
You CAN transfer your invite to someone else. You just need to call Fi Support and give them the email address of the person you want to transfer it to.
