| Cheri703 | want the mobo too? it's moody though | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| Cheri703 | I'm planning to take the whole computer (minus some useful bits) to the recycling place, but if the mobo and such are useful, I can pull that too | 00:40 |
| Unit193 | Ah, might as well try it in that case | 00:41 |
| Unit193 | And how did Sully to Budapest go anyway? | 00:41 |
| Cheri703 | hrm? | 00:43 |
| Unit193 | Didn't you take canthus13's coworker's desk item with you and get pics? | 00:44 |
| Cheri703 | yep | 00:47 |
| * canthus13 yawns. | 00:50 | |
| canthus13 | Unit193: Look for Sully on Vacation on facebook. | 00:50 |
| Unit193 | Haha! Nice | 00:56 |
| thafreak | So, i got a new phone and decided to root my old one | 15:04 |
| thafreak | step one, downgrade to previous android version with a flaw | 15:04 |
| thafreak | However, once I did that, when it started up, it wanted me to setup my gmail account before it would continue | 15:05 |
| thafreak | but my service had been cancelled on it by then | 15:05 |
| thafreak | so now I'm stuck | 15:05 |
| thafreak | hmmm...might be able to get a prepaid sim card for $5 and just pay $2 for one day of data....hmmmm... | 15:11 |
| dzho | thafreak: let me know who you get a SIM from for that sort of a deal, please, if you don't mind. | 15:44 |
| * dzho has a bunch of GSM phones sitting around and a bunch of inactive SIms | 15:45 | |
| _bbb_ | which phone | 15:45 |
| _bbb_ | are you rooting thafreak | 15:45 |
| _bbb_ | and which is the new one? =) | 15:46 |
| _bbb_ | ah lg optimus v | 15:47 |
| _bbb_ | the suspense is killing me yo | 15:50 |
| _bbb_ | it took me almost 2 years before i rooted my first android | 16:00 |
| _bbb_ | the next one about to 2 hours | 16:00 |
| toddc | I rooted my last two phones within hours :) | 16:05 |
| toddc | you shoud be able to set gmail from wifi if the phone has it | 16:06 |
| _bbb_ | i had similar trouble last G1 I rooted | 16:10 |
| _bbb_ | got around it by swapping sim temporarily iirc | 16:10 |
| thafreak | yes sorry | 16:31 |
| thafreak | lg optimus v is the new phone | 16:31 |
| thafreak | old one was a mytouch 3g (aka the g2, the second android phone ever released) | 16:32 |
| thafreak | yeah, i had to go back to cupcake on the phone, no way to turn wifi on before getting to the gmail setup part | 16:33 |
| thafreak | basically my only option is to put an active sim card in it. | 16:33 |
| thafreak | might just pony up and buy a prepaid sim and activate it for one day | 16:33 |
| thafreak | nice that they have day to day plans...which cost an arm and a leg over time, but for just one day, it's better than buying a whole month | 16:34 |
| _bbb_ | g2 is a different phone | 16:45 |
| _bbb_ | htc vision | 16:45 |
| _bbb_ | so different carrier then | 16:46 |
| thafreak | yes, but the mytouch was the second phone available after the g1 | 16:46 |
| _bbb_ | nod | 16:46 |
| thafreak | my options at the time was the g1 or the mytouch... | 16:46 |
| thafreak | then about a month later, about 3 or so devices showed up | 16:46 |
| _bbb_ | yeah i preordered the G1 | 16:47 |
| _bbb_ | on G2 now | 16:47 |
| thafreak | who makes the g2? | 16:47 |
| _bbb_ | htc | 16:47 |
| _bbb_ | its the htc dream | 16:47 |
| _bbb_ | i think the mytouch 3g is the htc magic | 16:47 |
| _bbb_ | they are very similar | 16:47 |
| thafreak | i have to say, the optimus is kind of the lowend of the spectrum these days, but compared to my mytouch, it's amazing | 16:48 |
| _bbb_ | yeah both have older cpu | 16:48 |
| thafreak | yeah magic and dream were similar i think | 16:48 |
| _bbb_ | i still have the G1 | 16:48 |
| thafreak | they suck basically...i would get so pissed | 16:48 |
| _bbb_ | but ive had a few of them | 16:48 |
| _bbb_ | still good phones | 16:48 |
| thafreak | do they run better rooted? | 16:48 |
| _bbb_ | much | 16:49 |
| _bbb_ | xda forums are your friend | 16:49 |
| thafreak | then I'll wast the couple bucks to get a sim card :) | 16:49 |
| thafreak | i can use it as a wifi only device atleast...maybe a sip phone too | 16:49 |
| _bbb_ | seti | 16:49 |
| _bbb_ | lol | 16:49 |
| thafreak | seti? | 16:50 |
| _bbb_ | seti at home | 16:50 |
| _bbb_ | you know spare cpu cycles to search for aliens | 16:51 |
| _bbb_ | sarcarm | 16:51 |
| _bbb_ | because the old phones are so slow | 16:51 |
| _bbb_ | but they still run decent with newer roms | 16:51 |
| _bbb_ | i like ezgingerbread on the g1 | 16:52 |
| thafreak | really, gingerbread can run on the g1? | 16:52 |
| _bbb_ | yeah.. runs well | 16:53 |
| thafreak | nice | 16:53 |
| _bbb_ | http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882356 | 16:53 |
| thafreak | well, I'm on virgin mobile now, and i got my phone for only $50 on black friday... | 16:53 |
| thafreak | so I don't feel very tied down...maybe i'll root it too later | 16:53 |
| _bbb_ | were you on virgin before? | 16:54 |
| thafreak | you hear anything about rooting the optimus? | 16:54 |
| thafreak | no I was on tmo before | 16:54 |
| _bbb_ | oh duh | 16:54 |
| _bbb_ | mytouch | 16:54 |
| thafreak | in fact, have to pay the final bill still :) | 16:54 |
| _bbb_ | http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1089 | 16:54 |
| _bbb_ | you got a few choices for custom roms | 16:55 |
| _bbb_ | i was looking at that motorola triumph on virgin for a sec | 16:55 |
| thafreak | well, i went with the optimus pureley because target had it for $50 :) | 16:56 |
| thafreak | and i was looking to get away from tmo and my $110/month bill | 16:56 |
| _bbb_ | nod | 16:56 |
| _bbb_ | id imagine they would be giving that phone away for free | 16:57 |
| thafreak | that was 2 lines though...one android, one a vanilla phone | 16:57 |
| _bbb_ | heck i got my G2 for free | 16:57 |
| _bbb_ | well with contrcat | 16:57 |
| _bbb_ | contract too | 16:57 |
| thafreak | you see republicwireless? | 16:57 |
| _bbb_ | hmmm no | 16:57 |
| thafreak | it's more of a community based one | 16:57 |
| _bbb_ | tmo has a wifi calling thing | 16:58 |
| _bbb_ | not especially interesting to me | 16:58 |
| thafreak | they require all members to use wifi as much as possible | 16:58 |
| thafreak | is $19/mon unlimitted everything interesting? | 16:58 |
| _bbb_ | yeah pros and cons there | 16:58 |
| _bbb_ | my wifi sucks so i'd hate it | 16:58 |
| thafreak | yeah...i'm debating...if you didn't have to pay$199 for the phone up front, i'd be more willing to just give it a try | 16:59 |
| thafreak | i'm also tempted to up my home internet connection since we ditched cable a while ago... | 17:00 |
| _bbb_ | im probably gonna stick with tmobile now they att deal fell thru | 17:00 |
| thafreak | kind of thinking of getting a business connection with static ip... | 17:00 |
| _bbb_ | my data plan is grandfathered now | 17:00 |
| thafreak | oh yeah? when did the deal fall through? I haven't been keeping up on tech news | 17:00 |
| _bbb_ | fcc doj shut em down week or so ago | 17:01 |
| _bbb_ | 8/31/11 | 17:01 |
| _bbb_ | U.S. Justice Department Files Antitrust Lawsuit to Block AT&T's Acquisition of T-Mobile. | 17:01 |
| thafreak | cool | 17:01 |
| _bbb_ | 11/29/11 | 17:02 |
| _bbb_ | Bureau Dismissal Without Prejudice of AT&T's Applications for Transfer of Control of T-Mobile USA, Inc. | 17:02 |
| thafreak | but i heard the parent of tmo was itching to ditch the us arm... | 17:02 |
| thafreak | so I wonder what they're next move will be | 17:02 |
| _bbb_ | yeah same | 17:03 |
| _bbb_ | i was also looking at htc detail on credo mobile | 17:05 |
| _bbb_ | its basically evo shift 4g | 17:05 |
| thafreak | credo? not heard of them | 17:05 |
| _bbb_ | so custom rom support would be good | 17:05 |
| _bbb_ | another one on sprint network i believe | 17:06 |
| _bbb_ | their plans put me off tho | 17:06 |
| thafreak | yeah...I'm not happy with anyone's plan choices really | 17:08 |
| thafreak | virgin is about the best I could deal with | 17:08 |
| _bbb_ | they got a few decent phones now tho | 17:09 |
| _bbb_ | lg optimus s free with 2yr contract | 17:10 |
| _bbb_ | plan is probably 80/mo | 17:10 |
| _bbb_ | right now im only paying $30 for 300 mins and $25 for unlimited data + 400 sms | 17:11 |
| _bbb_ | i hardly use my cell phone anymore so works for me | 17:11 |
| _bbb_ | they tried to switch my plan last time i upgraded phones | 17:12 |
| _bbb_ | i made them switch it back heh | 17:12 |
| _bbb_ | http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit | 17:14 |
| _bbb_ | there you go | 17:14 |
| thafreak | yep, I'll probably stop and pick one up next time im at a tmo store | 17:15 |
| _bbb_ | i got one of those at their store once | 17:15 |
| _bbb_ | fuckers charged me twice that | 17:15 |
| _bbb_ | retail madness | 17:16 |
| thafreak | really...crap, maybe i just order it online then | 17:16 |
| dzho | also, "out of stock" | 17:34 |
| dzho | at least, that's what it's showing for me | 17:34 |
| thafreak | damn, i don't think it was out of stock a few hours ago | 17:49 |
| thafreak | also, the pay by the day plan, has a minimum of $10 | 17:56 |
| _bbb_ | i got that once then | 17:56 |
| _bbb_ | didnt ever use it | 17:56 |
| _bbb_ | other that old test dummy phone | 17:56 |
| thafreak | but it looks like you can take a prepaid sim and make it a normal one with a normal contract plan | 17:57 |
| thafreak | sooooo...maybe i can use one of my old sim's and turn it into a prepaid one? | 17:57 |
