What happened to your call and end keys?

He didnt want his phone to be recognized so he blurred them out, lol.

His call and end buttons look like mine. The paint was probably comming off the buttons so he probably scraped it the rest of the way off.

This. Some of the early Hero's seem to have a problem with the phone keys. Mine and my brothers paint came off (day 1 Hero users) and my wife's (few months down the line) appears to be fine. A few other people I know that bought them a few month's later haven't had any issues either.

I got my Hero a few months down the line and the paint came off. I went to Sprint and had them replaced and they replaced my track ball.

I completely agree. Huge issue with the phone.
Wow, that's not good. I wonder how long Sprint will let that happen...I mean even AT&T throws minutes around in their commercials, maybe Sprint can throw some in the bag

I can confirm this issue. I've had the phone for four hours now and time just goes by. It's really quite frustrating. Sprint better get on this immediately.
I notice the uploads are no where near EVDO RevA. I'm getting about 130 or so now up and on my Hero I got in the 600 range.

I've noticed terrible speeds on speedtest apps, yet everything loads so much faster than the hero because of the processor. Don't even notice the crappy signal as its irrelevant. Wish I could test 4G... maybe next week.

I got the phone this morning EST, and have not put the MF'r down. I saw this thread and was like wtf??? Funny stuff.

I'm on a boat

Hey guys, just got on my cruise ship yesterday (the Coral Princess) and am loving it. I have a great band that I'm playing with, all the players are really good. Unfortunately, internet.. well... SUCKS.

Hope everything is doin well around here.. I may not be able to be on much for a while.. internet costs money too.. pretty sad paying for those speeds
Regaw! LOL why are you using your phone or computer from a cruise! Put it down and enjoy yourself my friend!
Im sure if I was on a cruise ship id still have my phone glued to my hand.
You know, when I saw this thread title I immediately thought of that Lonely Island song...
Hell yeah, just drink bro ... just drink. Only way to do it.
SWYPED from my SUPASONIC
anytime i hear cruise i think, just sit right back and you'll hear a tale a tale of a fateful trip, that started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the skipper brave and sure, five passengers set sail that day, for a three hour tour, a three hour tour, emotional scarring i guess....i hated that show
Watch out for the shock bill you might get when you come back
Sent from the iPhone Assassin
OP, if your cruise is anything like mine to Alaska last year, the phone will automatically connect to the ships on-board cell service. that means RAPE. you will be SHOCKED by the ridiculous fees. i wanna say on my cruise it was something like $1.50-$2 PER MINUTE!! i'm sure its even worse for data.
just a heads up. enjoy yourself!!
Hope you didn't forget your flippy-floppies.
the tpain reference makes this thread epic
Have fun..... relax... and think of new ideas for new mods. Hehe.

wish i could go on a cruise
wait till he sees the per kb charge from that cruise....my advice, spend the money on booze and not on a sprint bill....just my 2 cents
Haha, my phone is OFF! I just left Jamaica today, and on my way to the Panama Canal! I'm actually working (well, providing entertainment) on the ship, so I'll be on here for 4 months. I'm using the crew internet on board.. which is $40 for 460 minutes

Correct about the green being off or correct about you using those colors?
BTW I would definitely get some of these... if I wasn't broke. They design looks great though! Just need the right green and they'll be perfect!
I'd order one. If it's not too pricey.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i'd get some too
EDIT: BTW, I think themeing some after sports teams would get you a bigger market. I'd buy a Dodger Blue one with the LA in the middle without a doubt.

OP i have a suggestion. ive been thinking of having a custom made android sticker myself. can you come up with an Android sticker looking like the pedo bear sticker? i think it would look cool and funny. i definitely will buy a couple.
Id take some for my hardhat and welding hood. Piss all my buddies off who are Iphone babies.
As long as the stickers come off clean without requiring Goo Gone... I'd take a few
i would be intrested also in a few depending on price
edit: apparently someone already beat you to it

What to do when one of your HTC letters on back cover falls off.

Just do this.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

The funny part is that the phone still was receiving notifications until the battery was dead and the notification light was still working The lift is weigh about 6000 kg (A big one)
I just realized how much I love my phone Accidents happen - be careful next time

And here I thought when I saw the 'pickup truck running over an Xperia Active' that smartphones are becoming sturdier..
They should change the rolled over test from a truck to a lift
But seriously, 6 tons?? A smartphone would have to be made of diamond or something to withstand that.
Clearly you did not have a screen protector on it... shame on you
The magic question is... are going with the same color?
