do you guys remember a few months back when some guys iphone just burst into flames on a air plane? how dangerous are smart phones? Can they be life threating?? example: your on a call then suddenly the battery pops or the phone shocks you with a full charged battery. I know the situation seems extrame but anything can happen in the right conditions.
the phone banging is one of the most big issue in this times, this is why I self made a stainless and plastic (steel on display, plastic on battery side) case for my NS, in case the phone bang the weaked part explodes outside away from my head, so i'm safe, but because I'm aware for ppl nearby I've subscribed an insurance for this case, so everybody's fine
it's a really rare case, and always with no OEM batteries, or because Apple product are not so good at all
The tin foil on my head should protect me if the phone explodes near my ear, it's specially designed to protect my ears

It's not possible for this to happen with anything other than an Apple product, because every other phone has a different type of core.
Shocked? By the battery? The current is about 1 Ampere. I don't think that would cause more than a tingle when touching the contacts with your tongue (remember those 9V batteries? lol)

Hooters, the restaurant. Haven't tried it but what's the BIG deal about it?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
ummmm well the hooters of course! the chicken is ok though the three mile island sauce is the best to me
Dude, it's trash. 10 years ago it was a bigger deal. Terrible food and lame outfits. There are crazier places, like the Tilted Kilt. But that might not be as widespread as Hooter's. Either way, it's usually a bunch of old horn dogs that can't even get it up going to get drunk and stare are scantily clad women.
I'd throw down the 'real men don't' card, but it might get ugly.

The thing is, people that I know go to Hooters for a few things:
1. The wings.
2. Sports.
3. "Sports"
4. Staring at scantily clad women.
5. Hitting on waitresses.
All of which can be easily done/obtained elsewhere.

A gentleman never reveal his secrets. Or his partner(s) intimate secrets either.
I currently have a pair of Nike Jordan shoes (red and black) and a pair of Converse All-Stars (black and white). Today I got like a whole bunch of jeans from Aeropostale and similar brands and I doubt the Jordans will look good with them, but I don't know about the Converse (any advice on that? ). So if I'm going to get new shoes to fit those type of pants, which should I get?
jeans ? think of terry bogard and use a north star
Thread title is misleading. Shoes are what you wear when you're not playing sports. They are the footwear that potential employers will judge you by. Other men will rate you by the shoe that your feet are clad in. Women will decide whether or not you are worthy of their adoration, or their contempt, by the shoe that you chose to wear on that particular occasion.
Nike is not a shoe. Nor is Converse, They are synthetic footwear for pre-pubescent kids, or sporting apparel for those who are destined for a lifetime of agonising knee pain. They are 'trainers' at best. Anybody wearing such a 'shoe' outside of a sporting arena has the same fashion sense as a man in a Saville Row suit, wearing white socks.
You will not get hired. Your peers will sneer at you. You will not get laid. At best, you will hired as an 'Extra' in any second-rate TV or Movie production as Hoodlum number 13, no doubt attired with a matching pair of baggy jeans with a crotch that hangs somewhere below your ankles.
Real shoes look equally as good with an Armani suit as they do with a pair of Armani jeans. Real shoes make you look like a man. Anything less and you look like a tasteless tosspot that was dressed by his mother.
That is all.

Yeah well I'm a teenager. I'm not trying to impress anybody. I'm not trying to get a job. I don't plan on moving around a lot with those types of shoes and risking getting them dirty and ugly. And I already have "real" shoes. And I really don't think those shoes would fit Aeropostale, Hollister, or Ecko apparel. Definitely not Ecko. I know how to dress properly for different occasions. I just don't want to spend too much time looking at "shoes" that I won't get or don't like. And the only reason I'm looking for shoes is because it's the only thing I can ask for, since my dad keeps asking me what I want for a present. I would gladly ask for nothing, but then I don't want to sound like an asshole to him.

Haha, OK, NO idea where to ask this. So I bought a portable battery pack on eBay...When it arrived, it had all the tips, worked great, BUT, oh man, it smells like they took it out of grandpa's coffin. I haven't even gotten anything at a thrift store that's smelled this bad - let alone something that's plastic and I have no idea how is absorbing that smell! I now know why some eBay auctions talk about "smoke/pet free home", but this would have to be like dead people free home! Eww! I sprayed them down with alcohol based scented hand sanitizer but I still don't think that killed it. Has anyone ever had this problem? I am still baffled at how it somehow sunk into the plastic!!
Try cleaning it with vodka. I know vodka takes out the cigarette smell from clothes. EVen those that have been in a smoker's room for a few years.
Well, since hand sanitizer is an even higher concentration alcohol, I'm guessing it would have done the same thing.
Stop smelling it?
Hang an Air-freshener tree from each ear?
Breathe through your mouth?
Cover it in rotten meat so it doesn't smell like old person anymore?
It infects everything it touches. I put it on a pillow, now I have to wash the pillow. I touch it, I have to wash my hands. Not smelling isn't an option.
First you use soap and water on it. Then you dry it off and use fire to cleans the evil from the electronics.

THen you can just drink the vodka, and after a while you wont smell it.
Dip it in odor eliminating paint. That should keep the smell from coming out of the plastic.

Not sure what brand it is but in the computer world we use some stuff to coat the motherboard and videocard and everything else when water cooling in case of a leak. Works very well and isn't anything new but would work for phones as well.

Corrosion x works wonders. Been using it on float plane and boat electronics for years. 10 oz can is 10 bucks. I spray the phone iPods everything. I haven't ever had a problem. Its kinda stinky for a day or two. Just make sure to spray and let it set overnight then dry outside off and you will be good to go.

A lot of that stuff is silicone based (hence the stinky for a day or two) and can cause big respiratory problems if inhaled. Not something I would want to have near my face on a regular basis.

Dropped S4 in Toilet
I thought people might find this interesting.
I was out of town last night and my wife called me from our house phone and let me know she dropped her S4 in the toilet
She knew that she needed to get the battery out asap and pull sim and sd card and put in a bowl of rice until I got home and could disassemble to let the innards dry out.
So I just got home and disassembled the phone and to my amazement there was not a bit of moisture inside. Not even under the main board.
I reassembled and turned it on and it's still like new. Both speakers (earpiece and back) sound fine and I have listened on the other end of a call and mic seems to be fine as well.
I'm not recommending that you try this for fun but if it happens and you act quickly you should be ok.
