did anyone measure vivids screen?

Yes it is.

what did you mean?

He meant that it is 4.5 inches. In the United States the FCC measures it, looks at the insides, etc. to verify all that is said to be there is there. I didn't measure it because I had no doubt it is what they claimed it to be.

Wouldn't that be subject to some sort of crazy lawsuit beginning with "false advertisement" if it really wasn't?

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.

But for cobra what would you recommend?
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

[DROP TEST] Gizmo Slip Drop Test Nexus 4

In this drop test the phone survives 2 falls from 4 ft and bounces a few cm. I don't understand why we have some many people complaining about the back, even my phone survives two falls from 2 to 3 ft without case, no a little scratch :S , maybe I'm just lucky... Mmm I don't think so,
Like many other phones the phone doesn't survive face down fall
BTW love this phone. Although I have the little buzzing and rattle, not big deal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGXR2iznbeg
C'mon, provide us a bit of insight into what's in the video. XDA isn't a link sharing website. Do you have an opinion? How does this compare to the half a dozen other drop tests that have been posted?
So..... The back survives a a 4 foot drop but yet we have people "supposedly" having theres crap by just setting it on a counter top...
It survived 2 out of 3, which was better than I had expected. The one that did it in (face down) was brutal; it landed flat on the face.

Hehehe Sorry, post edited, maybe it's because my English is not really good
It faired pretty well except for that last drop
So... people who would actually use their phone on a day-to-day basis haven't even received their phones, but yet people like this guy is making YouTube video of drop tests? -_- as cool as it is, definitely not fair to the people who want the phone really badly but are unable to get proper stock of it.
I can't believe the back of the phone did better than the front.

It's called karma especially for the people who buy N4s when they become available for sale just to sell it again on eBay to maximize their profits.
You would say the same exact thing if you didn't have a N4. I personally have one but I'm not selfish like some people here and put myself in OTHER people's shoes as the General forum of N4 is filled with SHIPPING Threads rather than the actual phone experience itself hands on.

Jealous? I don't think it's necessary a sense of jealousy. It's more of a problem with Google's inventory and people aren't getting what they wanted to give as a present, or whatever it may be as N7, N10 is having inventory problems as well. I'm done arguing about this though, I can tell that you're already an arrogant person and just don't get what I was saying. Again, I already have one but many people do not due to inventory problems.
Good day sir.
Now you're personally attacking me? You're assuming a lot. Karma. I look at out this way. A drop test gives one an idea of what kind of protection one may need. More like taking one for the team, IMO.

Mine slide off of my desk once and I almost shrieked. Fortunately it survived without a scratch.
I wanna see the drop test with Official bumper
I broke mine on the first drop. Slipped off the table during dinner last night, bunch of cracks in the bottom left corner on the back, and front half has one long crack that has made half the touchscreen useless. Sucks. So disappointed, gone back to Galaxy Nexus. I don't have the heart to buy a new one if it's going to break this easily. I can't even count how many times I dropped my Galaxy Nexus with no issue.
Man, that's harsh.

To try and replace that on your own would be nuts with this phone.
**edit** proof: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+Teardown/13494
You need a new LCD. You'll have to buy a combined LCD+digitizer. It'll run around $70-$80. Check phonepartsusa.com. Repair is going to be ridiculously hard, and don't attempt to do so if you lack the proper tools.
I do repairs professionally.
*edit*
Just noticed your pictures aren't even of a One. Good luck. Same thing still applies, however.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
K^ That. The digitizer is just the clear layer that registers touches, it doesn't actually display anything, that is solely the LCD panel of which yours is broke. While a digitizer is always cheap it's usually good practice to buy a combo just because of what a pain it is to replace JUST the digitizer.
But, that doesn't even matter because your screen is broke.and you need a new LCD. If you want to risk replacing it for this phone, God speed. It's notoriously impossible to tinker in.
EDIT: oohhh, you have an EVO 3D, Not a One, much easier to tinker in and I've actually done it a few times without issue but the screen might be more expensive since its a 3D panel. You'd be better off just replacing the phone then, honestly.

Was gonna say the same thing. I don't repair these professionally, but do it often for friends and co-workers. I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of device that is; It isn't a ONE, an EVO 4G LTE, or 1x, so I can't get you a price quote. But, I do know that these days, the screen assembly is one piece; it is possible to get a digitizer by itself, I suppose, but taking the device apart will be difficult enough without trying to remove the screen from the rest of the assembly. To me, it looks like an entire replacement is needed anyway. Long story short, probably be easier to get a new device, like the other guys said.....
Is that an EVO 3D? Oh god, the memories. I'm agreeing with others that it'd be easier to just get a new phone. However, if you really wanna try and replace it, this will be what you need.

Should I?

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.
