Hi all,
i have been using this forum for some months after I got my amazing android phone. I am happy there is finally competition for good phones that are not iphones. I do not like apple's way of doing business and definitely the smugness of most people who get an iphone and think their coolness has gone off charts.
You know what I mean? People who have a need to show off their iproducts in public? I am so happy i have an android. Android people are so much fun to talk to and cool to discuss wasy to improve their phone.
Apple's best product has been the ismug What do you think? do you know what i am talking about?
Message to the moderator: i hope this is the right forum(if not please move it)
that is so true! i personally appreciate the quality of apple products, however i believe that apple products are incredibly overpriced, and their biggest advantage is their biggest downfall: Apples iron grip on their software
Lemme tell you a short story.
I am on a trip to Athens the other day and,as everyone in a large city,I used the subway to go to my destination.Entering the train,I found a seat next to a guy who looked like being 20-25 years old.He didn't seem geeky at all in fact.I sat next to him,but then he did something he shouldn't have.He pulled an iPhone 4 out of his pocket!Oh sh!t.There was also a girl sitting right in front of us,in a seat looking towards us.She told him "Nice phone you have there"(She had an old Sony Ericsson btw).He found a chance to show off then.And then,after I had lost my temper,I pulled my Galaxy S 2 out of my pocket and started playing with it.He looks at it,his eyes go wider than usual and awe was obvious in his expression.The girl(a beauty in fact) turns to my side and says "Your phone is nicer than the iPhone".Then I started to show off.The games,the screen,the effects,everything was better.That iSmug next to me turned white and got off at the next stop.The girl and I had a...nice time after that btw.
And what's the moral of the story?Android ftw!
Tolis that is an amazing story.
i think the only way to strike back at the apple cult is to make fun of their smugness
ps hi from thessaloniki
ps 2 Galaxy S ii is great
Most of the people think iProducts are COOL. It has now become a factor of an individual's "coolness".
Then someone pulls out their android phone and they're like, "Is that samsung?", "Bleh".
I am bored of listening: you have a Samsung? It looks like an iclone...;

Anybody watch it? I love this show. Just started up a new season here in America. Just learned it came from Britain and is a world wide show.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banged_Up_Abroad
Really is world wide.
I've always wanted to travel the world and this show makes me want to keep my nose clean in another country. Especially in the 3rd world countries. Just a great show imo. You get to learn about other countries, while seeing some wild stories.
I also love this serie, in fact I have always been fascinated for everything related to prisons (though I´ve never been there, lol). My favourite film is "The Shawshank redemption" and my favourite serie is OZ. And about this serie it is very useful to show young people how they can get into a major problem if they try to make "easy money" that way. And believe me, prisons are not the same in a developed country than in a poor one (I come from one of these).

I can't but help feel that most of these of the people are idiots or at least didn't think before they did what they did. Even the people who went to other countries to bring back a suitcase filled with Levi's, did you not think that if it was that easy this guy would be doing it every week? Of course your luggage is lined with heroin. They don't want to get in trouble for it, so they send you to get it.
The ones I do feel sorry for are the ones backpacking through the country side and get kidnapped or locked up for being spies and such. Those people were just going on vacation and bam, you're in jail. Part of the reason I went backpacking across the South part of USA and not in Mexico or South America. I should have done it in Canada, but eh, maybe another day.

National Geographic aka NatGeo. Last weeks season premiere comes on again before the new episode. New episode at 10 pm eastern time. Last week was badass, reminds me of me if that was to happen to me. I really liked it.
The show has really changed since it first started. Used to they danced around the issue of torture and never actually said it. Just said "he hit me", then you see them come out of the room with one eye swollen shut, busted lip, missing teeth. Like they want to show how much the person got hit but can't say it because of relations or something behind the scenes is keeping them from editing in that they were tortured. Now, they just say it, and depict it in the show. Pretty real now.

A good reason? Okay. An evil villain has taken over the world and is destroying everything and killing everyone. An old tattooist does tattoos that give the person super powers. You get the tattoo and save humanity. Plus the tattoo is sick and you get tons of b***hes.

That was a really cr4p reason until the final sentence
Military pride is a legit reason. To this day, if I see an older man with a wrinkly Military based tattoo, he gets much respect.
Good reason? You're really drunk on a Saturday night, and it seems like a really good idea at the time.

Good thing too, because all the original drawings were destroyed in a fire a few years ago. I'm glad I went through with getting them tattooed.

That's behind every tat on me. It's gotta mean something and you've got to believe it will always mean something,
Good and bad are not quantifiable things. You can't measure goodness. There is no such thing as a "good" reason. There are only reasons. So anybody who has a reason has a "good" reason. It's not done for you to agree with it.
I don't see a good reason. When I see people with tattoos, I don't think of them in a good way. It just looks stupid. That's just me though.

My humble opinion...
There's no real answer. My first tattoo was a giant 8-bit pixelated Mega Man on my leg. I got it because when I was a kid, my pops lost his business in Boston and we were stuck moving down to Florida where my grandparents lived. We moved into their 2-bedroom "manufactured" home in the middle of a retirement community. My folks saw that my brother and I had no kids in the neighborhood to play with, so they got us an NES and a copy of Mega Man 2 for Christmas that year. I played that game for months on end, well past the point where my parents were obviously annoyed with the music in the game. For that first few months until my family got back on its collective feet, Mega Man was my best friend. Fast forward almost 20 years later, I decided I wanted to get a tattoo, and the Blue Bomber was my choice. I was actually a little afraid that when I went back to visit my mom, she was going to freak out about me getting inked. But instead, she immediately recognized it and even thought it was a great tattoo to get.
The moral of this story? The only reason that matters is the one you rationalize yourself. To most people, a Mega Man tattoo is a silly and nerdy thing to do. To me, it's a silly and nerdy thing to do that reminds me of how much my parents cared about my happiness as a child, no matter what. I'm happy with it, and I couldn't care less if the rest of the world doesn't see or know the reason for it. Every tattoo I have means something to me, and I'm the only one who needs to know it.
I personally cannot think of a reason I'd get one. Other than the military pride that was mentioned because of the whole brotherhood the army gives you. I just don't see myself getting one, but I've heard quite a good amount of reasons for others.

I think there is no good reason simply because it's hard to remove a tattoo if you don't like this tattoo any more.

Twenty years on and i hate my tattoos now. Given the choice i would still have tattoos in the same places, but they would be different tattoos. Therein lies the problem though. Your tastes change from year to year as you yourself change, but tattoos are permanent.
I agree with Card83 and a few others that have said, it's should mean something to you, not just something that is cool at the time like a barb wire arm band because you will come to hate it.

Well ive always said i would only have my kids names on me.
And when my son was born I had his name tattooed onto my chest. And if i have any more kids then i will be putting there names on my chest aswell.
But apart from that i will not be having any other tattoo on me as anything else wont mean anything to me apart from "looking nice"
A friend of mine got the name of his best friend tattooed inside his wrist when said best friend took his own life two years ago. As a way to remember, and a reminder. They were very close.
And there are always more practical reasons for tattoos. You just don't always consider them. There are a lot of soldiers who get their data tattooed on various bodyparts, just in case. IED's really don't care if you want to keep you bodyparts attached, and thus the tattoos makes IDing easier.
Personally I don't have any. I'm not on good terms with needles.
Ok so Christmas is sneaking up on me and I'm thinking of getting my son (almost 3) one of these cheap android tabs. I was thinking of the innotab or leap pad but for its price i feel an android tab would do so much more and would be something he wouldn't grow out of in 6 months time.
So does any one on here know any good child mode apps i could use if i get him one? I wouldn't want him destroying the tab by changing all the settings and buying apps and sending emails to people etc.
I'd like an app that would boot into kids mode upon start up and that would be easy for him to access basic things like games and camera and coloring apps etc etc..and ideally a function where i could monitor his usage and see his progress in games and drawing...
Please help
Ps: for the people that think I'm mad, i am. Don't judge me for giving him a tab. I won't get an expensive one and even if i did, it's my money so no criticism please!

+1 Why can't people let kids grow up at a normal speed, rather than trying to magically make them become a geek by the time they're 5? Kids spend far too long staring at television as they grow up, give him something that will get his imagination working and get him outside in fresh air.
Yeah ive seen one i like the look of called kytephone. I found that one here on xda.

I just bought all 4 of my kids the nabi2. It is sporting tegra3 processor etc..... very rugged. $199. I even play games on it. Extremely easy to root. My oldest is 14. He even likes it. Mainly because he doesn't have to worry about breaking it.
It has nabi mode. In it you control content etc.... and "mommy mode" is just your basic ICS.
Check it out.
Thanks for the replies guys!
As for the haters, yes he will be in nursery, yes he will play out side, i don't lock him in his room and feed him through a hatch!
He's 3, he's clever and if he behaves he earns a reward which will be playing on the tab. It's my money, my child, my house and my rules.

Not sure why I said X. I meant HTC One! I had an X, but my son drowned it in my cat's water bowl! I got this Xperia T as a stop-gap. Actually very impressed with it. Had it since January and only bothered rooting it on Monday. Best stock ROM I've encountered.
Highly recommend using the Xperia Launcher mod if you are not already using it.

I killed my poor old One X a while ago and have been looking for something to replace it lately. I have the opportunity to purchase a TL for what I feel is a very fair price but I am a little hesitant. I really really liked my One X and do not want to be disappointed if I purchase the TL and regret it in a week or two.
Would you add $100 out of pocket and pick up another One X or maybe even a Nexus 4 instead of the TL?
Thanks!

Back to the topic - I love karate! I'm a student at Bydgoszcz Kyokushinkai Tezuka Group for about 8 years now and I tell you - if you want to get fit and be prepared for every uncomfortable and dangerous occasion, or just want to try something cool, try martial arts!
Tapped from The Bond Phone!

Thanks for the advice. Turns out it was only an extra $30 I needed to add for the very good deal I got on a 16G Nexus 4.
Since there will be a lot of new faces in the N5 section, and of course a lot of love and hate affairs will be taking place in the next year I find that when we put a face to a name there seems to be more friendly communication. I have done this in another device section on XDA and it turned out to be really successful and extremely fun as well.
If you guys are interested and the admin are okay with it then let's get it started and start posting up some pics of yourself, family etc.
If everyone prefers to be incognito here then we can just close this thread.....
I am 37, married with one kid and live in the US, North Carolina. Grew up in NY though.
My smart phone journey started years back with a Windows Pocket PC phone PPC-6600 if anyone remembers that. Started out at Sprintusers.com and then moved to PPCGEEKS.com for all my needs. I used to be scared of XDA. It was the place where the big boys hung out. Man, it was intimidating. Then I slowly built up the courage to check out XDA for myself and slowly worked my way in here.
Now we have so many different levels of users and while some might think that is a bad thing I think it's great. We all have to start somewhere and seeing people transition from noobs with not a clue to the ones helping others and some guys even taking on development themselves, it is a great community we have here!
Well you can see me in my avatar. I'm a mom of 3, love technology and looking forward to coming home after work on Tuesday to my brand new Nexus 5 to replace my S2.

Yo! This is a really good idea-- have never seen it before.
Anyway-- 20 year-old, in college, studying CS. Can't wait to get my Nexus tomorrow. Previously owned, HD2, One, i9300, Nexus 4 among others.
Will post a pic when I use my desktop-- none in my lappy.
Cheers dude!
Edit: Strong selfie in Frankfurt last summer
why not. 19, on my gap year at the moment - probably will go on to study physics as a degree. learning c# and java at the moment so i may go into android development as a hobby.

Hey guys! Here's a photo of me and my boy, and my grandpa photo bombing us like a boss.
Taken this summer on my son's first trip to Disney World. We were waiting in line for the Toy Story ride.

Nice, was that the one in Florida? Were taking our son there for the first time in December.
hell yeah, why not? That's me, the pic was taken at ocean front in Barcelona, but I live in Switzerland.
I'm looking forward to my first Nexus (after a Galaxy Note 2), to quicker access to the latest Android goodies, and to not have to remove unnecessary bloatware.
You can see me from my avatar and came from a Xperia Z1 and loving this phone so far.

Yeah that was in Florida. December is a great time to go! The weather is awesome there during that time of the year, plus all the parks get a Christmas makeover.
I don't know how old your boy is, but mines two and there was plenty of stuff for him to do. He had a blast, he still talks about it to this day.
You guys are going to have a good time!

He was 3 in August so hopefully he will enjoy himself. He loves all the Disney characters.

I'm 35, mum of 2 in the UK. Got the N5 on Friday and love it so far. Will be interesting to see the feedback when the Play orders start getting delivered.

Once you go Nexus, you never go back.
The great thing about owning a Nexus you won't care about what the other guys are doing you will just care about the next Nexus.

It's hard for a kid to not enjoy Disney World. As a parent, I got a lot of joy out of seeing my boy's reaction and excitement to everything.

Coming from am N4 I am mostly looking forward to the 5" 1080p screen. A 4.7" screen is nice if there weren't soft keys on the screen so a 5" should be just the right amount of real estate with the soft keys.
I know you can remove them and use other options but I like my keys usable without any other actions.
wow and i assumed almost every xda user is some teenage kid hyped up on androids
just shows how much one shouldn't stereotype.

Yeah, the reason I wanted to have this thread here is for everyone to see the wide range of people there are on XDA from teenage kids to parents to grandparents.
It will also help when communicating in the other threads as you might think twice on how you react to people when they ask certain things. They are not just a punk teen hiding behind a nickname...They are an old guy, acting like a punk teen hiding behind a nickname. Lol

Good stuff bro. It is easy to get sucked into that life. Glad to hear things are good now. It's much harder to get out then to get in. Stay strong! Cool Android tat. Amazing how phones bring so many different types of people together.
