So i was in school and i was caught texting due to the tilt being so damn big. I was in the cafeteria and a teacher came up behind me and snatched my phone. Good thing this is my first time getting caught because its 1 day without my phone and a parent has to come and pick it up. Second offense is 3 weeks and a parent comes and gets it and the third offense is they keep the phone until the end of the year. This sucks. I feel so lost without it.
ROFL.. i would of ****ign stabbed a ***** if she grabbed my phone.. u kno they probli took it and played around with it n ****
I pull the whole, I was writing down HW that a friend gave me, so that I wouldnt forget, its a PDA too ya know...
And thier like, Oh, get really red (Because ive taught all me friends to stare at the teacher meanacingly if any of us gets out phone taken away) and the PDAhone is returned.

sounds like crappy public schools of america. I'm glad my high school years are long and far behind me...this is one of the reasons college kicks hard core ass.
they have no right to take your phone for that long...only unless you signed something that allows them to hold it, but other then that, they cant do that...sue them mofos
The suckage...
My school sucks just as much if not more. They see a phone out, its instant detention, 3 demerits, and its taken away for 2 weeks! Oh and 18 demerits is an expulsion. Oh and for some reason, havin a PDA in class constitutes cheating becasue of what it can do!? and thats 6 extra demerits and 2 detentions! Yeah America needs to wake up and stop stereotyping people who actually care about not having a $1 piece of crap as their phone!!!
American Kids need to man up & stop being little girly sissies. "Oh, the big bad teacher took my phone, boohoo."
It called a rule. You know it's there. You chose to either follow it or not. If not, you know the consequences, so deal with it & quit whining.
The one thing I'll give you credit for??? Thank God you weren't dumb enough to post this waste of space in the Development thread.
wait they took it for 2 weeks? yo F that i would deff slice the principals throat while laughing.
No they only took it for today i get it tomorrow. If i get caught again its 3 weeks. It sucks major. These are the times i wish i had put a pw on my phone. I havent because i usually have it and its a hassle to type in a pw everytime i look at my phone so i didnt. But oh how i wish i have. It sucks.
I think that there should be a crossroads
I also attend a High School with such rules, i just dont understand why they get so damn anal about it.
In Orange County Pubilc Schools the stupid rule is as follows:
-If I See It, Or Hear It, (Even if it attached to your belt) I Take It.
Why cant they get that most high school students, and now middle schoolers have phones. One thing is to be texting in the middle of Algebra Class, but why cant i check my messages at lunch or passing time. Why cant i make that quick call between classes or at lunch. But yet, here is the irony, ADMINS AND TEACHERS USE THEM IN FRONT OF US ALL THE TIME!!!!!!, but yet if i carry my tilt in my belt pouch, and if they see the pouch, they get all stupid about it. They want us to hide it, (as if it was illegal to carry one??).
this should probably be moved to off topic or else where.
When i was in highschool they tried to implement a rule like that, where if you were caught with your phone they'd take it away and a parent had to come pick it up. BUT a group of kids and parents got together and went against it. The school ended up not enforcing the rule because of all the highschool shootings most of the 911 calls came from students with cell phones in the school. The students were also able to call 911 before the school did in several cases.
So they just implented a rule that you cant talk/text during class. if you were texting in the hallway or cafeteria a teacher would just tell you to put it away.
One dickhead teacher use to attempt to confiscate them... then his tires got slashed... he wasn't that much of a dickhead after that
Also speaking of cheating.. When the nokie 3650 first came out (one of the first camera BT phones) a couple of friends and I had them and one person would sit in the hallway next to the class i was in and during an exam i'd covertly snap a pic of the test page and bluetooth the pic to my "corespondent" then he'd look up the answers and text them back ... or i'd take pics of the text book and zoom and pan through the pic for answers
oh ya i didnt know where to post it. I just saw kaiser general and figured this was the spot. But i was in the cafeteria and had it under the table and its just so lame. Gimme a break.
that sucks, at my school of corse your not supposed to use your phone in class, but thats it. during passing period, lunch, before or after class, you can use it.
however one time my teacher saw my phone when i had the camera app up, she asked "is that a cell phone or camera?" i knew she wouldnt have cared if i said it was a phone, shed just tell me to put it away, but i said it was a camera and showed her. she thought it was, lol.
well im in southern cali as well and i have never had anything like that happen to me. i would give them the shaking im gonna kill you and everyone you know look and would get off with a warning. i just dont let people take things from me, be it a pda or pen or anything. however if you are as violent and selfish as me you should try and follow the rules if you know you will have this reaction. just my .02 cents.
oh and the guy crackin on americans, kinda rude bro, theres no need for that here. but then again this post should prob be moved but whatever. sorry to hear bout your tilt, just be sneaky next time or face the same result.
I can see high school hasn't changed a bit since I've been there. They teach you all about freedom yet it's more of a police state than North Korea. The only loophole was the TI graphing calculators. They were not necessary for our studies but they were the one device that could play games that wasn't banned. They tried to incorporate them into math class but the teachers could't use them.
HAHA yeah In my Jr. year of high school. We had a sub for my psychology class. I had my nintendo ds out and she made me put it away. So I did. Later 10 min b4 the bell when we were not doing anything I placed it ontop of my desk with all of my books and sat there. The teacher came over and placed her hand on my ds. I imedantly grabbed her hand and threw it off of my ds. I then threw my books and told her to fu** off.
LoL that was just for my ds.....
WTF???
"more of a police state than North Korea"? Yeah... I'm sure North Korean peasant families surviving on subsistence rations, a few hours of electricity a day, and being kept from seeking a better life elsewhere at the point of a gun are looking at you guys and saying "Well, at least we're not attending an American high school."

LoL, I just graduated from High School in a OCPS school, last year, they tried to pull the same thing my senior year because they saw my phone on my belt clip, and attempted to take it away, the loop hole in this one is they CANNOT take items over $150 in pricing because, its consider a liability if they loose it while its in their hands, but since they never inform students on that, and only inform students WHAT THEY CANT DO, and not the rights they have while attending school, its easy for them to get away with alot of it, just like (for OCPS schools anyway) a administrator cannot search your personal belongings, only your locker, only a administrator that is accompanied by law enforment. There is a website on the OCPS website somewhere that shows state statues for students rights, just sad a student has to find them to use them, but I guess its a fight to not get pushed around by school administrators that like to abuse their power more then others. So bottom line, if your in a OCPS school, you can fight it, you need to provide some proof though of the phone cost, and deny there attempt to take the phone, they will make you leave for the day for insubordination, but I think its better that then to leave a expensive phone in the hand of idiots as it is.
Friends,
Couldn't pass this up and not posting on this thread.
There are pro's and con's to using technology at all levels school, business, and socializing. The problem here is that the school's objective is to teach w/o interuptions of cell phones ringing, someone sending pictures of test questions (interesting though) and reducing theft issue's. Many students who break these rules ruin it for everyone else because of how it can help students that do have respect.
This also applies in the business world as well - If your in a meeting with the ceo, co-workers you want to be respectifull and not break the concentration of the meeting. Same with companies that are specific to what phones can be used and at what time. Most government companies will not allow pda's - camera's, voice recorders etc. Same principle - school/business.
Rule is a rule which has to be abided by. If abused then the school has the right to enforce their policy. We all have to live by rules and regulations.
The technology is cool and can be used to help students, but when the rules are not followed by everyone - this is the cause in effect.
I do think that having the phone in your locker, backpack - sound turned off is legitimate. During recess, lunch cool to use the phone.

A Penny for a Cup of Rice
Me and my wife went to wet market this morning to buy something for tonight's dinner. After we bought everything I saw this "very" old woman crying and begging for help outside the market. She said "Maawa na kayo sa matanda, palimos po, hindi pa ako kumakain!" ("Please take pitty on this old woman, I am begging you, I haven't eaten anything yet!"). I got teary eyed seeing this old woman (thingking she's my grandama) begging for a penny so she can buy something to eat. I told my wife to buy some food so we can give it to the old woman. We did and I handed it to this old lady. I saw happiness in her eyes when I handed her a box of Dunkin Donuts, 1 big cup of Orange juice and 2 orders of rice (2 cups of cooked rice) with 1 order of viand (adobong baboy...Filipino pork dish). We went home with happiness in our heart. I hope our goverment will be more keen in helping this kind of people.
I acclaim you for this act of kindness. Just pitiful to see how so many places waste food when it can be given away to the needy. If you return something to McDonalds or any other restraunt because it doesn't "satisfty" your needs, they don't even think twice about what to do with the food; they simply open that trash can and say good bye.
Thank you. It breaks my heart seeing this kind of people, specially old ones which reminds me my loving Grandpa and Grandma...By the way, I did not post this just to let the world know that I helped somebody, I did this just to send out a message to everyone to help the one who is in need . And also, I took that picture secretly using a camera phone. I stood beside the old lady and discreetly took a picture of her.
You should see this video. Just the same with McDo, most of the restaurants here do the same thing.
its sad how some countrys governments or who ever is in power how they let this sort of thing happen in this day and age. and whats a penny to most of use its pocket change that you probably but in a tin because you dont want your pockets full of crap. but the big question is what could we do to help this sort of thing ? i bet if you gave her a job she would be one of the hardest workers there.
adam
honestly, indonesian beggar are worst than that,.
almost in every trafic light, we will always see one or two, very old beggar,.
Goverment, is a goverment, we cant tell something to them,.
but, i think we could do a better with our heart,.
We could give money or something that make them survive, just like what red_hanks did,.
Wow, I live in this city, this guy dies a slow death and the fire and police dept watch......... then blame it on rules and budget cuts.........
... I need to get out of here...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43233984/ns/us_news-life/
Wow that is some messed up crap. None of those first responders had the balls to defy orders in order to save that man's life. Heroes...yeah right
A city on the bay and you cut water rescue? And no balls is right!
Sickening isn't it? Any two people, whether emergency service personnel or bystander, could have effected a safe rescue using nothing more than a length of rope. One of them would have to get wet but they'd be safely anchored and could have saved a life.
Check out this one. (Helping out a fellow man).
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8069686.stm
Yup DirkGentry, stupid That area of the bay is shallow it is nothing to get out there and on top of that the sail-surfers are right next store not like you couldn't get a surfboard..... such lame BS, this is a case I hope they get sued over.
We had something similar over here (except it was down to jobsworths not any cuts) where two plastic policemen (Police Community Support Officers - civilians in uniforms with notebook and pen) refused to go into a lake to try and save someone's life on health and safety grounds.
THAT IS CRAZY THEY SAID SINCE THE CUTS, THEY WERE NOT TRAINED FOR THAT RESCUE IM A MEDIC AND LET ME TELL YOU I CANT SIT BACK AND WATCH PPL DIE, WITH THAT SAID YOU ARE TRAINED TO NOT RISK YOUR OWN LIFE BUT WE RISK OUR LIVES EVERY DAY IN MANY WAYS. ITS CALLED A LIFE JACKET THEY SHLD HAVE TRIED ANYTHING AND NOT JUST STOOD THERE. OH YEA AND THE CUTS WERE PUT BACK THE NEXT DAY SUCH CRAP
Welcome to the New state of affairs in the US. Its only getting worse.

Learn from my mistake and never leave your Nexus 7 unattended.
Left my Nexus 7 on my chair at Starbucks and stepped away for a few seconds to throw trash away. Noticed in my peripheral view someone sitting down in my chair then immediately get up to head towards the door and my Nexus 7 in its sleeve was missing. Spun him around before he could make it out the door and snatched my Nexus 7 back which was hidden under his jacket under his left arm. It's like 90 degrees outside so the jacket was obviously suspicious.
Wow, at least you got it back. What did the person say when you snatched it back? Lastly, curious to know what city area this was in -
Taking care of your own device is your responsibility. But accidents and assholes appear everywhere. So, its a nice idea to install a reliable anti-theft app too.

Definitely - there are many out there, but I would recommend this one : Cerberus Anti-Theft - excellent and fast response support from the developer too. Rooted device extra features, May also consider an application protection addon-app to protect it from being uninstalled.

If that was me, dude would have been getting a free ride to the hospital.
You shouldn't have worried, he would have seen the 1mm of screen lift and returned it.
I know things like this happen all the time, but when it happens to you it really kills your faith in people, eh...
I would have put that person through the door and waited for the police. I have Android Lost setup and I would love to see someone steal any of my devices.
You gotta tell us what the guy did. I would have taken him to the ground and called the police.
Regardless of where it happened you're going to run into thieves anywhere. Ironically, I always keep it with me except for that one time because the trash can was only steps/seconds away. Lesson learned that thieves eye your property and are quick when the opportunity arise. He said something to the effect that "he just sat down" (whatever) and was apologetic but probably not because he was sorry but because the incident attracted attention so there were eye witnesses and he was on camera so he probably realized he was better off scurrying off with tail between his leg rather than resist and wait for the police to show up. Get the feeling he's a seasoned Starbucks property snagger so he'll probably be back another day to target others. Thanks for the tips on the post-theft apps. Fortunately, I had pattern screen lock enabled to protect personal info/data and prevent unauthorized Google Play purchases.
If someone comes to your table asking for directions then puts a big map down on the table, they're after your phone, or your tablet, or whatever else is under the map. I've seen this scam worked in Starbucks.

I hope you made a scene and made him very uncomfortable so he doesn't come back to the same Starbucks anytime soon. The Starbucks I frequent has the same regulars, we all visit at roughly the same hours, work from Starbucks, and we all look out for each other. What a scumbag, he knew what he was doing.
Don't leave your anything unattended.
Life lesson learned.
This is a good reason why it is always a good idea to install an anti theft app or some form of mechanism.
Makes me lose faith in humanity when I hear these stories.
This is why I'm always skeptical of people in general when I'm out in public. Being naive only gets you in odd positions.

Obviously we should all be hostile to each other because of the few.
I'll be a less paranoid and more outgoing person and risk losing those $$$. No one ever died losing 200$ or 1000$.
Dude you gotta be more careful. The Nexus 7 is so small you can just stick it in your pocket. That is what I did last night when I was at the movie theater watching the 2012 DCI Drumcorps show. It was almost 6 hours long so when I went to the bathroom I took my Nexus with me. Heck you could even tuck it under your arm if you had it in a case.
At least now you will be triple careful .... until the next time that is.
I have a friend who works at a local middle school here in Northern VA and the school tells all of the parents, "do not have your kid bring cellphone, games, tablets to school or if you do lock them up in your locker." They are routinely stolen and the parents come in complaining.
I bet he thought it was an iPad. Because the current Apple v Samsung trial has shown me stupid people think everything is an iPad.

Funny story, when I first got my SGT7, i decided to walk down to a friend's house at night. I didn't pull the tab out of my pocket until I was almost to his house, but shortly after I pulled it out, some kid ran over to me pretending he had a gun. Turns out he thought I was someone else, we had our laughs, and he happened to also be heading to the same house as me
I would of held him in Starbucks waiting for police to arrive to arrest him. What he did was a crime. Took something that did not belong to him. He should be punished.

Hey all who decided to take the time to click the header and just... see what this XDA Newbie is all about. lol
Well, the long and the short of it all is, i stumbled across this site while tinkering around with a Fire 7 HD i believe. Watched a video or two, downloaded the toolkit from this site, and I've been tinkering and playing around on it since. Too much fun. Before i get the "Skript Kiddie" label, I despise that term, and actual Skript Kiddies, if you're learning to become better? Ok, i get playing around a little for a little while, but then educate yourself and become proficient.. Don't just live out your days as a script kiddie and think you're accomplishing anything of note... I've tinkered and built PC's, laptops, desktops, (yes i know what PC stands for, lol), pretty much my entire adult life, not diving deep enough to really make anything of it, but enough so where back in 2006 out of highschool, i basically had a mini sever farm in my living room, built from old parts the schools either broken or trashed, and anywhere i could pick up any used PC's for little to nothing. Fast forward to mid to late 2010, my then GF, now wife, pushed me to get my GED and attend college, to which i did and majored in auto mechanics, studied to achieve masters mechanics status but late 2011 i was driving home late/early morning and ended up spinning out from a faulty right rear second hand strut tower mount on the right rear of a 97 subaru lagacy that had the boxer engine in it, and 8 months of steady work done. Went around a curve close to home and the strut shot through the top mount, right rear dropped on the tire causing a skid, jumo a covered pipe completing a 180, and htting a tree square in the middle of the trunk at approx 65mph. Severe head trauma, broke my orbital bone, left clavical, all of my ribs, cracked skull, and 2 fractured, one broken, and 2 crushed vertebrea, lacerated liver, deflated and punctured both lungs and lacerated my pancreas... Went out the back glass of the car, and 20 feet on the other side of the road in the ditch.. The people that rescued me, and operated on me i owe the air i breathe, and the sports medicine specialist i owe my ability to do all else and function like a normal adult for the most part. 2 18 1/2" Silicone rods down either side of my upper dorsal spine, 12 titanium blocks, 6 straps and 32 screws all jiust on my spine between my shoulders, and 12 1" blocks on my clavical with 2 screws each... Went in the ER 260lbs at 6' 4"s tall solid big guy, came out 3 months later and medically induced coma, 6' even and 141lbs soaking wet. Fast forward 9 yrs, came across some online courses and jumoed back into computers hard, went through a 10 month program through the My Computer Career folks and graduated a ITCSE October of 2020, and attempting to earn gainful employment close to home at the new microsoft facility that has been up and running and under construction for the last 10 yrs or so, so going down a more practical route. and have been workin for myself and been trying to start my own business of "Mobile IT Troubleshooting, repair, replace & installation. What makes me different, is I'll beat the competition. I'll beat them there, and in price. Give me a call, and I'll come to you." Yeah, corny, i know, but it's a start and im loving it so far... Just starting out, but through networking, trial and error, and with each disability check, purchasing the specialized tools needed for certain jobs, I'll get to where i want to be soon enough. Thanks to any who actually read this long winded intro, and hope that im able to learn a lot from here, and to meet and correspond with the best and brightest.. Thanks again,

Glad you introduced yourself!, Its a very nice way to create a thriving community.
Welcome!
