Rapture

Anybody willing to give me their collection of phones? If you think you'll go into heaven tomorrow for Rapture, I don't think you'd need a phone

I'm too cold hearted to be lifted up in rapture, you can have my Mom's $5 government funded phone though haha That is, if she disappears
-Remember, Android hell is a real place and you will be sent there at the first sign of defiance-

I'm on my way to check my local Apple store to see if anybody's left (a MacBook Pro or two wouldn't hurt). Then again, since they use iPhones, maybe not

its not about speeding it about being aware of much more, so many people think that oh i need a radar so i dont get caught. NO thats not my point and thats not why i want one.

Not being argumentative in the slightest - I'd just stay out if I was - you've sparked my curiosity. What else are they for then? I thought they were literally just for telling you about speed traps.

your not argumentative at all, but they have many uses like for instance the GPS modules tell your speed, red light cameras, accuracy on speed.
The bands it has like for instance a 15 band has 7 types of radars, 6 lasers, and 2 safety signals. like when a firetruck or emergency vehicles, etc...
several other reasons too, just gives you a warning doesn't give you the GO to speed.

*bump* does anyone use them?? i would like some advice on them

Just make sure it doesn't show up on the police's radar, Cause mine did and they took it... It was long time ago, so maybe the new one's are better

Don't waste your money on a Cobra. When they came out 30 years ago they were the best, but they have fallen seriously behind.
Look at Escort/Beltronics. They're the same company but I think they still sell under both names. Best radar detectors out there hands down.
And make sure they are legal in the state you plan on using it. The fines and hassle of getting caught are much much worse than the speeding ticket.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

if you are going to get one, get a good one, with laser detection and such
those will cost you about $300, starts at around $250
they do work, except for when the come is hidding beneath your windshield level of view
LOL that's the only time they got me
they should invent X-Ray detectors so it can monitor through under the hood, then you'll get a nice 360 monitoring

Honestly,in that price range,I would just wait on getting one. They typically won't do enough to warrant spending 100-120. if you can't get at least an 8500 x50, I wouldn't waste my money. I wouldn't buy anything under 200.

I've owned a cobra. Be it an older cheaper model from like 02. But like I said, "I" wouldn't buy anything less than an x50. I couldn't justify it. For the price,I'm sure it's a decent RD judging from a quick search, just not something I would buy.

Anything under $300 won't do you much good. Look up the Valentine 1, passport escort, or belltronics sti. They are well known and respected. You can do some research at radarroy.com its pretty informative

So my Nexus 7 just got stolen from my car

I went to a job site (a car dealership) and left it in the drivers seat. It was raining and I'm guessing that with my tools and boxes, that I forgot to lock it with the remote or it did not lock. I didn't notice it missing until I went to my second job and went to hide it (which I normally do). I didn't hide it at the dealership because I was only planning on being there 20 minutes that turned into 2 hours.
I looked everywhere, being in denial, but I distinctly remember putting it in my car because it was raining and I had to conceal it while I ran out to my car.
Kinda sucks. Not only because I'll have to buy another one (I just bought one from Walmart so I can exchange it when the 32gb comes out), but also because I had a $20 case on it and an SGP Matte SP. I blame the iPad Mini. Thats probably what they thought it was!
I know there are plenty of threads about Anti-theft stuff but I'm kinda in a rush to push something to it from the play store. Ceribus or something rings a bell. Any suggestions?
I just installed Cerebus but I don't think it'll work without prior setup. I downloaded Plan B but I'm not sure it'll work either because it mentions it will only try to locate within the first 10 minutes.

Unfortunately I don't think there's anything that will provide any security without prior setup. Everything I've seen needs to be configured.

Lookout plan b... its on the market. You can push it to your device from the market website
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Yea I pushed Plan B. It went missing some time between 3:30pm and 5:30pm. I noticed it gone about 6pm. After driving back to my office to check my desk, back home, walmart, and home, it is now 11pm.
If I'd stolen a device, it would have been factory defaulted the instance I had a second to do it.
I'm in pretty good with the staff at the Dealership. My gf also works for the same group (different property though). She said they have security cameras all over. I'll get them to look at the tapes and see who it was.

Feel sorry about your loss. I don't think any security app help it, it's useless IMO. If the thief is smart enough, he/she will disable gps and wifi. So there is nothing you can do about it.

First thing i did on mine was installing cerberus. You can never be sure.

Not to mention that if you unlock and root your device you can install Cerberus as a system app so even if they do a factory reset Cerberus is still installed and active so you can track it. In this case only the thief smart enough to actually flash it with a new ROM will be free and clear. I don't remember how much it cost...I think like $1-2 was it, so even if it only gives you a 10% change of recovery...isn't that worth a couple bucks?

Dang. I know exactly how you feel. Hang in there; it may yet re-surface. I realize the almost hopeless optimism in saying that, but I`ve had my faith in humanity restored several times when losing stuff in the past. Let us know what happens! ps: Make Cerberus the first app you install with the new tab (or the old one, if/when it`s returned). good luck!

I talked to the big guy at the dealership and he told me they have security cameras there, so Monday they are going to look at them. Should be easy considering I was there for work and have my exact time there down to 2 hours.
Although I'm not sure what knowing who did it would do for me unless it was an employee... which they could fire them... but it was probably a hobo or a customer. Perhaps then one of the sales guys may know of them and hopefully has their address or something.
I haven't had any emails from those security apps that I tried...
I was thinking after I bought my new one that no only am I out the tablet but the $20 case and $20 SGP SP. So almost $300.
My mother-in-law suggested to claim it on my homeowners insurance because I had a tree fall on my home and I already paid my deductible for the year (which might be per incident). I have yet to call them yet. Probably do that Monday too.

Bought a pone from someone, he wants it back???

I know I spelled "Phone" wrong
Recently, I was at a public place and someone came up to me begging me to buy his phone. Long story short, after a lot of talk I bought the phone from him and after 4 days he calls and tells me he wants it back.
Now, I have paid money for the phone and he is threatening me that he will call the cops on me because of theft and it is in his name. I paid for it, should it not be mine? Im in Canada btw

How does he have your phone number?

Did you have him sign a contract saying you bought it from him or get any proof that you did buy it from him?

He got my phone number because I am a dumb nut and I decided to call him from my other phone. There is proof that he sold it to me because I recorded the phone calls and it says he sold it to me.

Re: Bought a phone from someone, he wants it back???
In my opinion I would keep it. A person like that I would keep it just to really annoy. If he calls the cops what aren't they going to do. You can explain the story and then either you will keep the phone or they will take the phone and you get your money. All in all it is a win win for you. I would also not reply to him lol. Happened to me before but I just ignored them. No cops came thankfully.
Btw what phone did you buy. I bet he wants it back as he's used all the money lol. May not be but sounds like it.

Well honestly if someone desperately sold you the device for 40 they probably are strung out on drugs.
If you have proof of you're gain(the phone) and his gain (money) and normally a witness would be perfect but if he's trying all this I might just sell it back. He probably try to assault you or break windows, but if you really want to keep it record a convo with him acting like you stated then call and have a restraining order placed.

I know the note 7 is so hot its literally exploding off the shelves but does anyone think it's worth it for me to get my hands on one and wait for an aftermarket replacement battery to do the swap myself? Are the carriers going to block note 7s from their network? I personally want one at this point simply for the fact most if not all will be gone soon.

Not sure if this guy is trolling hard or simply been living under rock for the past week.

There won't be any after market batteries. Get a grip.

I still have my first Note 7. Other than the annoying messages multiple times a day. I have no complaints. I mentioned in another thread that the T mobile rep said the phones are only getting hot when you use a different charger than what came with the device. I had a guy call me out on it, saying it was a bunch of B'S. Well here I am still using my Note and not a single issue with it. So you decide.

Since it's a discontinued phone that Samsung's lawyers would desperately like out of your hands I'd say the odds are as good as American electing an honest person as president in November. The only update I think we'll see is one that disables the phone.
