Hi...
A while ago there's this non-sdio camera which works on the xda 1. Does anyone know where I can buy it now? And couldn't find any on ebay either.
Thanks.

I lost my n1 the other day when i got drunk. Assurion is charging me 130 for a "Comparable" phone. Im pretty sure i left my phone in a friends car but im not sure
Does anyone know what happens if i end up finding my phone after ive got a replacement? Do they somehow blacklist my phone from being used?
Did you install any kind of app that would use gps to locate in case of emergency on your phone? Like look out mobile or wheres my droid ?? If not I got no idea. But though if you happen to find your phone after the replacement. Sell the new one on craigslist or ebay. The nexus one still going around 300 to 450.

I am not sure if this post belongs here, mods please feel free to move to appropriate section if not.
I recently noticed my phone bill in the last 2 months were much higher than normal. I went through my bills online and checked my call history, I found out there were messages sent by me, and some messages sent to me from 60140 and they cost £1.50 for each message! Now, I am very certain that I did not send any message to that number. I checked my phone's messaging history and there were 3 text messages I received 4 days ago, but my online bill also reported I sent 1 before I received the 3 messages. These messages are nothing but simple tips for android power users, which are pure rubbish (screen shot attached).
I was also able to trace the dates when I got these messages, the first was the day when I flashed Darky's Rom, and the other was when I flashed CheckRom v6 4 days ago. I had flashed a lot of custom roms in the last 3 months and it's only in the last 2 roms that I had this issue. I've sent a "Stop" message to 60140 and got a reply that says I am now unsubscribed.
I am suspecting it was an app that caused this. I wonder if there's anyone who can shed light to this. I was thinking of wiping my phone and reformatting the internal storage but so hesitant as it is running perfect at the moment on Checkrom V6. Would really appreciate any help

That is very very unusual !!. I also flashed many different type of custom rom but never experience one ....
Just Say No!
It's a scammer SMS spammer. They send you premium SMS's and get paid for it. This is a serious issue, and has even gone as high as parliament in Oz.
DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!
I called my provider (Three, I think), and demanded a refund of all charges. They refused, saying it was not their fault.
I countered, and kept on at them. I kept mentioning that this provider was acting fraudulently, and by charging me, the provider were complicit in that fraud. I also stated several times that I had taken legal advice (I had not) and would be happy to see them in court. I would have too. I knew they pay up instead of going as it's cheaper.
[edit] BTW, it is nothing to do with the ROM, that is just a coincidence or we'd all be finding this a problem.
It was only about $30, but I stood my ground on principle. Only when the providers stop participating in this theft can it really be stopped.
Oh, and I had all my phone records, so could prove that I had never sent them an SMS to initiate their service. If you do not have these, just claim you have (on your phone, even) and force them to prove otherwise.
I had this on att and when u reply stop is when u get billed. Had like 3 10 dollar charges but att refunded right away

Thanks for your replies, I know now that I can, at least, call my provider (Orange UK) about it. I have paid £12.00 before I realized the scam.
It's a relief to know also that it was not custom ROM related.

these charges are coming from a company called com & tell uk ltd.
they are charging £1.50 per text to anyone that has downloaded an power saving app for there android mobile. its a crafty little scam that keeps the subscription part quiet. simple text STOP to 60140 an you will get a confirmation text. an problem solved.
ive had a potter round on the internet an there isnt many old posts relating to this only recent ones march onwards
I remember seeing it on TV about a week ago but i dont remember whos promoting it, samsung,motorola, htc,Lg?
They show a women leaving her phone purposely in the taxi and says "oops" and walks away, another guy throws his phone off a balcony.. anyway the whole purpose is for them to "accidently" lose or damage their current phone so they can upgrade or buy a new upcoming phone.. i just don't remember what phone

Ok so about 3 weeks ago my son busted my fiances s4 screen. There was a big hoot and hollar about why do we let our son play with our expensive phone in that thread lol. So anyway assurion did not have the phone in stock so i sold her broken one on ebay and bought her another from the sprint store. I called assurion and canceled the claim and even recieved a comformation.
Well fiance gos out to bring my dog in the house and she sees a package from fedex on the hood of her car. She opens it and its a brand new galaxy s4. She calls me and tells me. So i say no big deal ill mail this back to assurion. Well i call them and tell them what happened. They get all my info and cant find anything in there system saying they shipped me a phone. They show a canceled claim thats it. I give her the fedex number showing it came from there address but she refuses to check it. She ask am i sure i didnt order one off the internet and i tell her id be pretty sure if i just bought a $600 phone.
So i then turn my attention to fedex. I call them and say hey you left a package with a $650 phone in it on the hood of my car in my driveway about 100ft away from my house. They call the driver and he says he didnt wana come to my house bc my dog was on a runner. So i give them some crap about leaving it there and that was that.
So now i have a phone sitting in my house that assurion has no information on. It required a signature but was never signed for. Has anyone ever had an experience like this?

You're really honest in how you tried to return it much respect for that, but after hearing all that maybe you deserve to just keep it.

I mean would i like a free phone hell yea lol. But my thing is i dont want the $150 insurance deductible showing up on my bill and i dont want to get a call from assurion in a few weeks asking where the damaged phone is i was suppose to mail back.

If it showed up, you do not have to pay for it. You might want to do research, but I HAD HEARD SECOND HAND that back in the 70s, companies used to ship stuff to people, then ask them to pay for it if they didn't return it (think CD "clubs").
I learned this after I had a 2nd poweramp shipped to me . . . and I finally reluctantly returned it . . . THEN learned about the rule/law about not having to send stuff back. RESEARCH IT

I dont have a broken phone to send back bc i replaced it myself. I tryd to get a label to return it bc all they sent was a padded envelope which clearly says send just the phone back. This box is sealed so i dont wana open it and send them a phone back and keeo the box. Im so pissed at fedex tho im half tempted to keep it and let my son use it as a tablet bc they left it on the hood up my driveway and no one ever signed.

Doesn't matter if you have a phone to send back or not, they left it without signing, it's all cool in school, keep it. Just leave it boxed up for a week or two. When (and if) they call for it looking for it, play dumb, then ignore their calls.
And again research the law behind mailing you stuff.

My advice, since you've already taken the 'correct' steps to resolve this issue, is to keep the phone, still sealed up in the Fed-Ex box. Wait a billing cycle (or two) to see if any charges show up, or if Assurion contacts you again about the damaged device, and then take the appropriate action. If, after a few months, nothing further has been done/attempted by Sprint/Assurion, then I'd consider myself the owner of a new S4.

I think she was giving you a hint, don't look a gift horse in the mouth. And if the $150 does show up on your bill, you've got a $650 phone for $150.
had a similar incident back on tmo with the g2, it is currently sitting on my desk
also as teh father of a 2 year old, i happily let her play with phones (not my sgs4 though, she gets mommy's sgs3 ). there is so many learning apps and she is already so quick to learn how to navigate teh device. i wouldnt take that away from her for the world. screw everyone else and you raise your kids how you see fit
I've had this happen to me as well. Cancelled a claim on my Evo 3d, still received it with no record of it being sent. Gave it to my girl and was never charged
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
I'd research the laws, keep it in the box for a week of case they call, then I'd own it, root it then I'd call FedEx, and ask why the hell they left it on my car. And tell them you don't appreciate that very much.

Totally agree. My 5 year old has been playing on all my phones from the s3 to the note 2. Alot of cool apps for kids on the play store.

technically you never signed for it so technically you never "received" it lol
To those of you saying to just keep the phone.....correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't a replacement come pre-activated, meaning that it can only be used on the phone number that it was meant to be a replacement for? If so, it's still of no use unless to be sold as a bad ESN to be activated on another carrier such as Boost or similar.
