I have many friends who have lost their mobiles recently. My husband lost his precious D500 6 months after he bought it. It was a wedding gift
What is the most expensive phone that you have lost? And how?
Well not expensive but a cheapo phone ,but i was gobsmacked that people viewing our house which is for sale stole the phone,while they were with estate agent
I lost my HP iPAQ rx1715 in a medical centre. It was gone 15 minutes later when I checked.
I dropped my Nokia 7600 down the loo. I grabbed it out as fast as I could (very pleasant) and whipped the battery out as quickly as possible, rinsed off the phone, flushed, left it to dry and fortunately it was ok when I put the battery back in. Suppose it was always a bit of a ****ty phone though!
A good friend of mine managed to drive over his pocket loox at a petrol station, he'd driven a mile down the road before he noticed his sat nav was missing so he drove back to find it smashed to pieces right where he'd filled up. But insurance can be cool.
My iPAQ 6365 was ripped out of its case while I was protecting my pregnant wife from getting pushed on the subway. I felt so sorry for the bastard that took it. LOL
I would never have been introduced to the joys of a Wizard if that hadn't happened. As a matter of fact, my wife felt so bad for me, she offered to buy me the Qtek right on the spot.

How did you know it was them.. did you get it back?
I don't know how you guys have lost your phones, I watch mine very carefully, too expensive to lose, I even considered getting a rider on my home insurance for it.[/I]
I got a brand new 8525 back in March on a Monday and went to the local mall and it was on my belt clip in a holster and when I realized it was not there 10 minutes after I had went into the mall I raced back to the parking lot and previous aisle I was on and svr desk but it was gone, I was upset so this was the most expensive. I ended up getting another 1 abt 3 days later and this one I guard w\me life I barely let others use it..
My phone went missing a while back (taken off the bench I was sitting on). I got another phone when I realized and called it. Someone answered so I asked why they had my phone. I then asked where they were- and they told me! I ran to that place and got it back. Thank god the thief was so thick, they normally take the sim out straight away.
if i lost mine id have a heart attack.. cuz need to be more careful with ur ****
Lost
My husband lost his D500 Samsung while shooting at some god forsaken place in the middle of a jungle resort.
It was so expensive and was an anniversary gift as well. He had kept it in the car and forgot to take it when he got down.
I havn't managed to lose one yet but had just as bad.
I owned an XDA IIi (Alpine) that had a habbit of bricking about every 2 or 3 months. When it was away for warranty repair, I felt well helpkess.
I ended up setting up a spare MDA Compact II just in case.
My wife managed to destroy a wee Samsung D500 with a leaky water bottle in her Gym bag.
When you lose/break an ordinary phone its bad, but when a PDA goes wrong - yuchhhh
Someone Walkin'
well mate,the phone alarm hadbeen used to wake us that morning,and we had job around the house all day so had not been out
the person veiwing the house came at 2:45 and left at 3,about 5-530,we realsised it was missing and not mislaid ,i called tmobile and they said the phone had been used at 3:15.
sadly was unable to get it back as the guy looking around the house,had said he wished to bring relatives too,but tunred out he was buying to let and the people with him were,tenants
we did not get it back but i will even things out one way or another,it was only a cheap back up phone but you dont come in my home steal and think thats the end of the matter
XDA II - Himalaya was stolen
Well, I wont call it lost. It was stolen in the restaurant (more like a canteen) of my last place of work. I went in, had my breakfast, left the XDA II on the table whilst eating, got up after the meal, made for the lift up to my floor, remembered my error (as it felt like an 'arm' was missen), rode the lift back down straight to the restaurant, and no one had seen anything.
Before you say - yes I took it there as I received a call on my way to the restaurant about some deadline....

That guy's story does not have a ring of truth in it for me. Desirable things these phones.
I dropped my Nokia 9110 out of a shirt pocket when looking over a stairwell... it died a quick death! I left it, half-functional and SIM removed, on a bin in IKEA car park...
I'd just got a 9210, so I didn't mind so much.
I lost 2
Nokia 9210i
Motorola RAZR
does it sound as loud as the mda speaker wise? i love how loud the mda ring can be

hmmm... ok, let me have some opinions on this, I am running fresh 2.3.3, oc 710, clear lock screen. At about 12 noon yesterday my touch screen stopped responding, BUT only at the top exactly where the notification bar is, I know this because I turned on Nexus Revamped Pro LWP and in settings I set the particles to spawn where I touch, I have not been able to pull down my notification bar since yesterday! Ok, stop and think of how inconvenient that is! Anyways, I have gone so far now as to wipe everything and go back to stock fresh 2.3.3(no kernel or any theming) and it still wont work, oh, sometimes when I go to hit the phone soft key(bottom of screen) THE DAMN NOTIFICATION BAR JUMPS DOWN! I am going nuts trying to solve this, the phone was dropped once two days after I got it(almost a year ago) and it has had a Zagg screen protector on it until yesterday because I thought that it might be causing the problem. So there is my rant with some information on the problem stuck in there, anyone have any ideas let me know before tomorrow morning, I will have to go back to stock and unroot so I can go to Best Buy(not so Best Buy) to exchange it.
Wrong forum, try a different rom. but I would unroot and take it back

oops!! my bad, mod please move it! this is set as my home page I forgot to click Q&A section!
I had the same problem a few few months ago. The same thing with the notification bar would not slide down, but if you press anywhere on the screen it will. I dealt with for a day or two until I couldn't take it anymore. I reverted back to stock 2.1 and went to the sprint store to get it fixed. The technicians there never heard about this problem and they couldn't fix it. Luckily I was still under a 1 year HTC warrenty, so they just exchanged it with no problem. Hope this helps you out, and good luck.

Well, I tried 4 roms and stock 1.5 and 2.1 today and finally unrooted back to 1.5, I still am within my one year HTC warranty, I payed for a warranty at best buy(boooo!) and I happen to be out of town right now, so I go to the store here and they try to tell me I am not paying for the replacement program or warranty, AND I HAD ALL MY PAPERWORK IN FRONT OF THEM, so they finally said no we wont exchange it but we will send it off, it will be 3-4 weeks and we aren't giving you a loaner, so I said no and they gave me a special receipt and told me to go to any Sprint store and they would replace it....ANOTHER LIE, I went to FOUR stores scattered across Houston until a store even looked at it, I explained the issue and the said ok our tech will replace your screen or we will give you a new one it will be 30 min., ANOTHER LIE, 2 hours and 26 min later I was handed my phone by the tech and told that he had updated me to 2.1 and that my phone was fine, LIE. FIRST of all my screen wouldnt even unlock by touch(had to menu, menu) second I could still not get a proper response from my screen or even touch the T.B., second as soon as I turned the screen on it asked me to DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE, he didnt address the problem that he was told was there, he lied about doing the update, I lost it on this lazy ass, so he took my phone again, had it for under 3 min this time, brought it back and said here I updated it, I cant fix it, I cant give you one from our stock, you will have one in 3-4 days, again no loaner, THE UPDATE WAS STILL NOT EVEN DOWNLOADED, AND ONLY HALF OF MY BATTERY COVER WAS ATTACHED,I AM 376 MILES FROM MY WIFE AND 2 KIDS WITH NO PHONE. So at this point I just want to say, F*@# Sprint and F*@# Best Buy, I pay thousands a year for warrantys and bills, have payed at least the double the retail of my phone just in insurance(between our two lines) and you A$$'s reniged on everything that extra I pay for, when I do get my new one I will be canceling all insurance and warrantys and in 5 months when my contract is up IM GONE, you people have never done anything to honor your customer service agreements and I dont think I have ever heard anyone with a positive experience, SO F*@# YOU!!!! Ok my rant is done, just wanted to say to anyone even considering Sprint, dont do it unless you have the cash to just buy a new phone at full price if anything happens, they will screw you any way possible, been with them for coming up 5 years and they dont give a damn about anyone, RUN AWAY WHILE YOU CAN.
The actions of few almost never speak for the quality and character of All.
I've never had a problem with my service that wasn't resolved within an hour and a half by a sprint representative. I used to have the rumor and I soaked it once(replaced), my mother broke her screen and got it replaced, one time my charger port got so jacked up that they had to give me a new phone and the Rep offered to give me his old phone, ofcourse I said no and thanked him but that shows there are good folk in the company we have been buying service from for the better part of a decade.
I would gladly change my opinion if I ever saw a change in how they handle my wife and I as customers, I have just not seen it... OH, PLEASE tell me what store to go to, seriously, no sarcasm, I will go if its close(houston area), it is just very stressful and insulting to pay what we pay believing that they will hold up their end and being openly lied to...I know that my little flame out does not speak for everyone, it just helps to get it out.....XDA Group Therapy LMAO
I don't think I will ever buy a phone from best buy... If you try and have any warranty service done it seems to be a hassle for must people. Luckily I by my phones directly from sprint and I've never had a problem.

Ok, last update on my situation, I will try not to freak out, I am highly upset.
So, after days with a non-functioning phone, I go to the store and first of all, why does it take 15 min to walk behind the counter and pick up a packaged phone when I am the only customer in the store? OK, so my "New" phone came in, great right, wrong! I take care of my things, I am an adult that likes nice things and cant afford many, so when I get something I want I take extremely good care of it, my Hero was immaculate, spotless, and I have had it since a couple month after release, what they brought me was ****, it has scratches all over the screen(which is funny because he made a big deal asking me if I wanted the "screen plastic" taken off), the back cover has scratches on it, the back cover has a crack in it and is warped to the point that it will not stay on completely and there is a gap between the back cover and the phone, the metal band around the phone is loose, the hardware buttons are lose, I dont know who would call this a new phone but the poor thing has been badly abused, I almost feel bad for this poor Hero. So there it is, my experience yet again with Sprint and best buy. I feel like with the amount of money that I have payed total for "insurance" I should not be given a trashed piece of hardware. Sprint, is not all bad, I personally just have not had a good experience with them. Just be careful people.
Hey guys, i could use a quick cheer up. Everyone tell me how your week has been.
I got a raise Monday, now I make 10 cents above minimum wage! I found a lump on my testicles Wednesday and was diagnosed with testicular cancer on Friday, which coincidentally was the day my parents held a family meeting telling us that they were going to file a divorce by the end of next week. I don't even know what to do anymore.
Anyone out there need to talk about their problems? I don't have anyone in particular to talk to.

hey man sorry to hear! one of my best friends had the same thing about a year and a half ago and went through all the treatment and is now cancer free. keep your head up and by all means do the treatment. did they test the lump bc my grandmother had a tumor on her brain and the dr told her she only had 2 months to live and it was cancer so she got a second opinion from another dr and said there was no way to tell untill they got it out. she did have the tumor removed and it was not cancer.
Sorry to hear that man i had a bad week but nothing like that....i totaled my car and my skyrocket flew out the window so i picked up the note but although i came out fine my brother had to get stitches and has a fractured hand.

Cheer up, no matter what your going through, some people have it worse. My week was pretty good. One day last week (I think it was Tuesday) I was on my way to work on the highway and I seen a Guy walk out of hid car and jump in front of a semi truck and died instantly. Don't wanna disgust u with the details but it was horrible. You just have to be thankful that it was testicular cancer instead of something much more severe. Remember nothing is ever perfect and that is what keeps me going whenever something happens. Also remember that some people don't have parents. Good luck

I've never had reason to doubt my doctor, but I suppose a second opinion wouldn't hurt. He says it is malignant, but I hope it is just a tumor. My best friend had to have his left testicle removed a few months ago. You don't know how relieved I would be if it were just a tumor, and that it could be removed safely. From what I understand though testicular cancer is one of those things where you preety much have to go under the needle and remove the testicle to cure it.

yea i would always get a second opinion for something that serious anyway. i think my buddy had to have his removed also but he did have to do treatment. so did he test it to see if it was malignant im not a dr but i dont see how they would know without a test

Yeah he said that it was malignant, based on tests. I still want to get a second doctors opinion on the matter, even if it sounds ignorant. Better safe than sorry.
I can't imagine seeing that man jump in front of a semi D: I saw a smoking, fiery semi truck sliding down a highway on its side once a few years back. It was such a surreal moment for me.

Hey guys,
Firstly, I will admit from the start my phone has been dropped a couple of times but from around knee height at most...
I bought a contract, of which I am 2 months into, and in the last 2 weeks my phone keeps turning off randomly and wont turn on. Only sometimes when I remove the battery and sim card even, that it turns back on again. Its really frustrating, especially that I'm moving home in the next few weeks and agencies cant call me.
I am wondering if I can somehow go to the store of the company I bought it from and ask for a new one or a different phone?
I am happy to pay the difference for a galaxy note 2 dare I say which was my original choice but the LG was £10 less a month. Only thing is I purchased it online?
Many thanks to any help or advice on what might be causing this?!

A couple drops shouldn't cause this unless you're really unlucky, I dropped mine from the bench on the second day of owning it and freaked though luckily not a mark on it. I would say it's probably a fault so yeah try and return it, if it's bought online get in touch with the customer service team, most sites will have the phone number somewhere or it may be on your invoice. Check for damage or loose connections around the battery first though, good luck!

I was looking around the device but nothing is visible. I went to carphone warehouse store and they said they have to send it to LG. I will be able to tell if its a replacement or not as mine had a little dink taken out of the frame..ahh well, now two weeks of waiting to do.
They offered me a replacement phone as I went to leave like they forgot and I got a simple looking Samsung with chunky buttons! XD love retro style!
Thankyou for the advice,

You're welcome! When I was with carphone I brought in my HTC desire z (now drowned in the toilet one drunken night) Because it was not receiving messages, and I had updated it to 2.2.1 which made it impossible to root. When I came back to the store after my holiday I was thrilled to find a brand new phone (gave me the old backplate back though, cheapskates) with the original rootable 2.2! I proceeded to root and flash my first ever ROM, cm7, crapped myself cos I bricked it, then realized I had just forgot to wipe data! Booted into cm7 and never looked back, I can't stand unrooted devices! hopefully they send you a new one, that sort of fault usually does get a new one as its hard to detect the source of the issue, good luck!

Denise, my wife was a fun loving person but, for 2 years ago she got her psoriasis disease. It has broken out of one on the other day and no one knows why.
It has become so bad that they can barely walk. Her hands and fingers are affected. Depending on the load burst onto the finger and foot and start to bleed. Likewise, her complete head is affected and the psoriasis is partially 5mm thick.
It looks as if her head with a thick layer of stone coated.
She was already with many doctors and hospitals but nothing has help her.
The only thing that helps is our holiday in Spain by the sea. After the 2 weeks holiday, her skin looks so much better.
After we told them our doctor, he just said, "then they have to emigrate to Spain, if they want to get rid of their disease!"
It's really sad what the doctors say one instead of helping correct.
Of course we can not even emigrate just to Spain
For this reason, she remain only two possibilities:
1. longer make a holiday in Spain like 6 weeks
2. go to a special clinic, which is not covered by health insurance.
For both options, we do not have the money to do so.
I would like to send my wife to the special clinic, since it has focused on the psoriasis disease.
The cost of the stay in the hospital are about 4500 €.
For more Infos and Pictures look here.
If you want to help my wife and bring the fun loving person back, then donate something to support.

Hi Chris,
I have had psoriasis for 20 years now but for the last 2 years I have been able to keep it under control. My heart goes out to your wife who has a very sever case of psoriasis. I have had 2 extremely severe outbreaks in my life where it covered over 90% of my body, but thankfully I am in a lot better place now.
By the way my doctor told me to moved to a Mediterranean country too, and guess what... I did! But even though my skin did improve a small bit I still couldnt get it under control until I did the following
1. sorted out my diet
2. added some supplements to rectify my nutrient deficiencies
3. make a few minor changes to my lifestyle to control my stress levels.
anyways I have a psoriasis blog over at bestdietforpsoriasis dot com where you can find exactly the 8 steps I took to get my psoriasis under control. I hope it can offer some inspiration to you and Denise.
thanks for reading and happy new year.
Best Regards,
John Redfern
