I have noticed a lot of unhappy Galaxy S owners on the forums, Most complaining about slow or bricked phones.
If you are unhappy with your Galaxy S GT-I9000/GT-I9000M I will be happy to take it off your hands. I will offer you $150 for your phone. If it is bricked, I will offer you $100.
You can take the money and buy a nice shiny new phone that will suit your purposes better.
Let me know,
Ian
lol, nice try
But if anyone really wants to accept that deal I'll take one as well!
I have got 5 galaxy's s phones from ebay all for under £150 lowest being my 16gb for £122.
So thats probs your best place to look.
Not sure if serious....

I'm serious. I figure if people are b*tching about their phones performance or that their phones are bricked because they are dumb enough to mess around with their phones without doing the necessary reading and screw up their phones, maybe they'll be dumb enough to fall for this. I'll be more than happy to take them off their hands.

Yes, i am unhappy and will be switching to either Motorola or LG.
I just think there are serious software issues and hardware issues (better than my iphone 3g, but i think there are quality issues ).

Not at all. I bought mine last Thursday. Started by hacking the Kies registry and downloading the JPY firmware.
So far it's meeting or surpassing all my expectations. Sure, a LED flash would be nice. Or a nice aluminium body. Then again it fits into my pockets exceptionally well this way.
Anyway, I'm loving it so far!
Appart from the GPS performance, I'm really happy with my Galaxy S.
Completely happy with my Galaxy S.
The software on SGS is getting better and better:
- firmwares (soon gingerbread)
- costom ROM's (allways optimised)
- kernels (speedmod, voodoo, OC, ...)
- usefull app modifications (phone, email, mms,...)
- sound improvements (voodoo)
- video improvements (voodoo)
- file system improvements (ext4,...)
- new features (audio true usb, connect external usb flash,...)
- many more things to come...
Best phone of the year 2010!
I so much like this phone, so much potentional, so much future!
I only miss a flash :/

I won't sell my SGS until I get a SGS 2. But you can have my LG Arena for $100 it has higher dpi and got led flash and even a fm transmitter. Gps sux on this phone too

Definitely unhappy with the phone. I mean, I'm waiting on my third one to come in, and that's nothing compared to the number of phones some people have gone through on here (first one was on stock JH2 as well and died before the Froyo update even dropped, so it's not the hacks).
That said, $150? Makes a hell of a lot more sense to get a replacement, sell it for $400-500 and buy a Desire Z or some other more stable $500 phone.
I can get my upgrade for a new sgs2 for 199$ or get a refurbished one for a penny. I would like a brand new one but would like to save the money too? What would you do? How long would you think til it goes down in price? I need opinions please.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I would avoid refurbished. It will be 199 till the new flagship phone is launched. Probably another Samsung device.

Look around at other retailers, radio shack, best buy,newegg,etc. They can seta let price than att.
Would I still have a warranty? I saw target has it for 99.

Well, def have Samsung warranty. I would think the initial 90 warranty would be from the retailer where you bought it. I think. Call them up and see. What's the worst that happens, you pay $199?
I generally have a lot of faith in factory refurbished products. Generally, they have been used minimally. They were returned due to a defect, or simply because someone wanted something else.
Typically, they will be completed tested by the factory. If there are any defects that caused the return, they will be addressed . I generally look for refurbished and have always had extremely good luck in doing so. My current Captivate is refurbished. I bought it for $18.00. It is the greatest phone I have ever owned and the warranty is intact as if you bought a brand new phone.
Refurbished all the way!
I'd like to think refurbished would be like new but I too have a refurbished captivate after bricking my new old one. Everything runs fine but the usb door doesn't stay closed & is loose and the vibration doesn't feel/sound right like my girlfriend's new one. This is why I'm asking, just trying to weigh out my decision. I'm almost content enough to keep my cappy for a while but I'd really like to see how much better it is & why waste a perfectly good upgrade.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
From my experience buying new or factory refurbished is a lottery. You can get a brand new one and have issues on it as well as a refurbished and have a issues. But I can't say refurbished = more chance for issues. But thats just my 2 cents. I've had 2 captivates (new and refurb) and had no issues what so ever (except new had the sleep death).
I have a refurbished Cappy from ATT that has 0 issues (knock on wood). Got it for $10 last year.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
you get ATT warranty, even if u buy it from other retailers. I got my cappy from Amazonwireless.com last year and got replaced 4 times by ATT...
My wife and i both got refurb captivates about a year ago for free, with our upgrade. My phone has had no problems and I've flashed the crap out of it. Hers Has been returned once for the shutdown problem, but the problem showed back up after the w warranty (90 days) expired. Just putting it out there, so you know.
I think I'm gonna get one at target. After I figure out what is the easiest way to root it are there any precautions I need to take using tibu to restore my apps? I know don't do system settings but can I do my contacts & bookmarks?

I think I'm on this bandwagon, too. After seeing the battery and signal issues with the Vexus, I have no intention of jumping to Verizon. By the time the Galaxy Nexus is available on AT&T, Samsung will probably have announced the SGS3 (looks like MWC this February). If it's not too long a wait, I'll hold out for it.
Will I be able to transfer all the stuff I need to the sgs2 using tibu without any problems?

I would assume so. But like always only user apps and no data to be sure.

Should be fine. The one problem that seems to pop up every once in a while is that after you transfer the apps to your new phone, you may notice that all the market links are busted. TiBu can repair them, but they still might not appear to work.
They are actually fixed, but need a little help to take effect. If the market links are still broken after you try to restore them in TiBu, just clear your Market data (settings/applications/manage applications/market and click the clear data button) and reboot the phone. The market links should be back to normal.
So, I currently own a white GT-N7000 that was bricked due to the famous EMMC bug and subsequently recovered using a mix of techniques found here on XDA. In the process, I went from 16gb of storage to 11.5gb.
I've never liked the white color, I'm not sure why I bought it in the first place. However, I do love the note itself. I would love to be able to trade mine for one of the blue GT-N7000, but seeing that it's a recovered note I'm unsure of how to go about such a transaction.
I see these as my options:
1. Find someone with a GT-N7000 that was bricked *and* recovered who is willing to trade.
2. Sell the note on ebay, at a lower price than the other used GT-N7000 that were never bricked in the first place. Then use that money to buy the blue GT-N7000.
The first option would ensure no loss of money in trade, but seems unlikely due how specific the circumstances are.
The second option, I would most likely lose some money in the end, but it would allow me to replace the note with one that was never bricked in the first place. Maybe that is worth the loss in money?
Does anyone have any advice for me? Has anyone been in a similar situation and be able to share their experiences with me? Has anyone sold their EMMC bug recovered note on ebay at all?
The good samaritan version is that when you exchange your note with the blue one.
The bad version is where you sell the note on e-bay and don't write in the descritption the fact that the phone was bricked
Either way youll take a hit, even if just on shipping costs and loss of phone up time. Im sure you could sell it on ebay for probably just $20 less than other notes in similar physical condition. But after fees youre lokin at at least $70 loss just to change colors and gain a few gb of phone storage. Not worth it imho.

Assuming you bought the note for cheap i advise you to keep it and wait for the solution from samsung regarding this error. Maybe then you can revive your bad sectors and sell the note for a bit more. If you are in a hurry to sell it try to find someone who needs it. Just one thing important: advice that it's recovered from the bug...
If i was you i wait for the answer / soltion from samsung....

Very true, although I would include the fact that it had been bricked and recovered in the ebay description. Taking the potential $$ hit for that is better than feeling like a dirtbag scammer.

Honestly, I would fork over $70 right now if it would magically change my note's color. I understand that may seem crazy to some.

So is there a reason why we couldn't just buy a used phone (i.e. I saw some Evo 4g's on Craigslist for $50) and make a profit with the $100 HTC One Trade In Program? Just thought of this today and wanted to check with everyone in case it'd be a bad idea for any reason.

nope, but make sure the phone is of value first, many phones are actually worth nothing.

As from my example, the OG Evo 4g is worth a small amount. So essentially, if I pay $50 for it, I could make $50 out of it. I'd rather do this and save my current phone as a backup.
the conditions did say that the trade in phone had to be active and used on your account but I am not sure how they would verify that..

I recall reading you need to provide proof of purchase of your trade in also. That's part of what's holding me back from trading in the GSII I have.

I"m pretty sure it's gonna fly on the recycling center without you getting any. I read on the terms that the phone should have no damage at all(except wear at tear). And if you sent a phone that doesn't meet the criteria they're not gonna return it and you won't get anything.

you only need proof of purchase for the HTC one. it says that the phone youre trading in has to have been active but i dont know how theyd actually check on that. especially if youre trading in a phone with a hot swappable SIM card.

ouch my nexus7 it slid off my bed apparently. I didnt see how it fell, it was in a case but it didnt save it. I heard the thud, turned and feared the worse. it goes across the screen so its rather large.
its the 2012 32 gb version. Is it fixable??? most of the screen doesnt work, i can touch the notification area and it responds, but no where else, so it is basically inoperable. I google some stuff about replacing the digitizer or the screen? or both? how would i know what I need?
on another note, its the 2012 version and i could probably use an upgrade on the 2014 or whatever the new one is. But i definitely would like to repair this and get a new one. I hate having to let go of stuff like this and would like to repair it.
Check out on ebay you have to change the glass, digitizer and lcd (too risky to change the glass+digitizer) its fairly easy. You can check outr some teardown on google too and youtube. Good luck

My wife's n7 had a similar problem, but it's one of my children that stepped on it lol, it was going to cost £160 for Asus to fix it and the tablet only cost £200 brand new at the time so I just got some insurance on it from currys for £3 a month then got them to fix it lol

hmm thats a nice idea, i might find something like that locally here. well I ended up going on craigslist and looking at local ads of nexus 7, and I saw someone selling a nexus 7 16gb for $100. I emailed and asked if it was still available and how firm they were. They replied saying they can let it go for 80 if I come right now. I just returned about an hour ago with a 16gb nexus 7. I am currently in the process of rooting with a rom as my 32gb was. I still wanna fix my 32gb so I will try this idea or something similar.
Take the screen of the 16gb one and put it on the 32

So this would work with square trade? The idea of getting insurance on my nexus even though it is already broken?

How is it fraud, I asked currys if they needed to see the tablet and they no because it was less than a year old they didn't ask if it had a broken screen and I've still got the insurance so there getting there money back anyway so think before accusing people of fraud

Its fraud because it was suggested above that insurance gets placed on the device AFTER there has been damage to the device. It was suggested that the insurance company wouldn't verify the condition...it's exactly what it sounds like...fraud.
