Hello XDA :)

Hey everyone, Just hopped on board after long time of using the forums, figured I might as well start posting and learning more and more.
My name is Kris, and it all started for me on the original android phone (G1) and now am upgraded to the G2
I also work in mobile sales.
I'll post pictures of screens, and more detailed backround when I hit my limit...

Welcome aboard

Thanks a bunch, is there an easier way to get approved, kinda stinks that I can't post pictures or have a sig

There is no other way.
Be patient and once you become an active member with more posts you´ll have all XDA features unlocked

Yeah, I read that it was like 12 posts or something? I'm not worried about it, i hate spam bots just as much as anyone else.

Okay so more about me now
I'm from Cincinnati, OH, always had a love for electronics, gaming, mma, and cars.
We'll start with the electronics, I am currently using the temp rooted overclocked HTC Vision :G2 and am loving every second of it.
I play a ton of xbox 360 (COD, Halo, UFC) also have a modded console, and such.

had 7 of them for a while, bought broken ones and fixed them, had a Jtag also.
And onto cars, I had my dream car, but wasn't the right time to own it, so I sold it. I am currently just driving around a 05 civc.
Meet my 94 Supra TT
Hope this all works out for a better introduction. Like I said, I hope to stay an active member, as I'd really like to know how to create apps and such.

That is the best introduction i have ever seen!!!
I my self are a xbox 360 fixing enthusiast!
I got a premium for free not reading discs and it only cost me £40 for a new drive!
then i got an elite for free with rrod, but i couldn't fix it. So i got £26.09 when i sold it on eBay.
So i bought a Ps3 off eBay that didn't read discs and that come to a total of £118, and they are about £160 second hand.
Anyway, nice supra!

Thanks man, I really tried to wait until I could kinda show everything, besides just talking about it. If anyone ever really needs me, I'll probably be hanging out in the G2 section, until I get put on a concession line and get the incredible, and Evo

Question re: phone upgrades

I see people sometimes talking about getting, for instance, a Thunderbolt, to replace their Droid X. My question is, how are they buying the phones? Verizon only (I thought) gives discounts when your contract is within a few months of expiring, so are they paying full price for the phones? $400, $500, $600, etc? Can someone explain this to me?

I wouldn't worry about it, the world is ending this weekend...

A lot of people do pay full price but most just sell what they have to part subsidise their new purchase. Otherwise it's wait until the contract is up.
Getting back off topic...what are you doing with your last few hours of existance?

HOLY CRAP... I must look into this!! I didn't think this was possible.

Yeah, i thought it was pretty bunk that he made a "worlds first" out of it when I loaded the bootloaders onto my phone about a full day before he got involved.

You better be getting a slice of that $40 pie he is selling. Honestly, I think that is absolute garbage. This guy is taking advantage of many users offering what should be a donation service because of the work you and others have done.

This is a DEAD thread.
Just saying

Now Mobiletechvideos provides a professional grade, top notch technical service. He runs a business and that's his source of income. We text each other for technical advice once in a while. Even if I wanted to, I could not possibly keep up with his workload and do my own job as a hospital electronics technician. We have a deal worked out where he will eventually buy Rebellos a replacement phone via PayPal donations. He's a guy running a business. I look at the business aspect as a downfall of his ability to support himself with technical expertise. All I'm saying is technically its not a worlds first as Android isn't booted and I was running the bootloaders first.

Bought an iPhone today

Lord help me....
No, it's not for me, I'm being nice, sister wanted on my family plan and she just HAD TO HAVE THE IPHONE. LIKE OMG!
/sigh
I tried to talk her into a $10 Evo Design from Amazon wireless, nah, let's spend money...we're only doing this to save money right?
Can't say I ever foresaw an iPhone entering my phone plan.

I dont blame her. I wouldnt choose an Evo Design over an Iphone either and i have an Epic Touch 4G

I tried Evo D, Evo3D, SGSII, Nex S, and Arrive, all were cheaper. Alwell, just still in shock that I bought what I bought today.

Why not tell her "my plan my choice of phone. Don't like it? get your own plan." Either way she would have stopped nagging and you would not be supporting apple

Well what a sweet brother you are.
Hope you at least get birthday or xmas gift credit for it.

Yikes... I live with 3 people using iPhones, and I hate it. I was offered one, but I stuck with my EVO 4g

Glad to see my Anti-Apple Brethens here!

I say you return it and get her a pay as you go samsung slider with a qwerty keyboard and 1" display. Girls gotta earn an i phone.

iphone is not all bad...i had a htc mozart and nw have a op. bl and iphone 4s.
each and every OS platform has something good and unique to offer. we got 2 see the good part of the OS that the manufacturers wanted 2 show us.

It goes like this.
Imagine that you dont know anything about mobile phones and stuff and you see someone walking around you with an iPhone.
Now imagine someone walking around you with HTC Evo..
And to be honest, my head would turn to the guy/girl with an iPhone.. Apple has it
Apple is a style, any other mobile phones have a great platform, great OS and stuff..

CES 2013

Just got my CES ticket! Totally psyched.
Anyone else going?
If no, i'll happily cover the event for you guys =D
If yes, how about a meetup? Would be epic to meet some of you guys.

no-one, huh? :/

A coverage of the event would do for me. Thanks.
||I'm just a PM away for help||

Oh it would only cost me about 5000 euros to go there. No biggy, I have a few flecks of dust in an old sock somewhere....
A coverage will do just fine.

Yeah, I lucked out by registering early enough that the tickets were free. The drive from SoCal to Vegas just isn't that bad, and my uncle LOVES Vegas so I was able to 'borrow' some of his 'frequent hotel miles ' (whatever they're actually called ) so its really cheap.
Sadly I'm fairly hard up for money, so I (probably) can't afford a decent camera.... Hopefully I'll be getting a galaxy note ii by then tho, and I plan on just switching on Google+ instant upload for my pictures so anyone who's interested can check it out.
Now what I really want is a galaxy camera, but I think that's asking for a bit much.

Trying to get a new phone for the event..... Saving up for a Note II...

Figured I'd bump this.....
Is no one else going? :/

How much are the tickets? And how'd you get it for free?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

If you register early enough they're free. I registered as soon as registration opened. They get progressively more expensive as time goes by though, so that means that if tickets are even still available they're gonna cost an arm and a leg.
Ill check how much they cost now (if they're still available) when I get home.
