My Nexus One loses 3g as I pass through the rings of Saturn

..but I get a weak 3g signal all the way to Pluto if I don't encompass the bottom half of the phone with my fats mitts.
Just sayin'.
Oh, and my screen has a blue-black tint when I turn it off. It doesn't go all the way black.
Just sayin'.
And I think my touchpad holds too much of my finger grease, does yours do that? I don't think the Incredible does. Don't you agree that makes the Nexus One obsolete? Where's the love?
Just sayin'.
And I thought my Nexus One would give my pitiful life some meaning. It's hasn't delivered, and that's been a defect since day one.
Just sayin'.
Just thought I'd add one more useless, inane "bag on the n1" thread. They're vogue, afterall.
Just sayin'.

My thought exactly! !

Is this kind of thread really necessary? I've moved it to off topic for now, drop me a PM if you disagree.

too funny. it seems to me that the nexus one has attracted a lot of "kids" or something who dont have much experience in the world of smartphones, hence the strange rants we see. just my opinion.

Hehe, it ain't bad
But, Off-Topic does seem like a more fit place for it....

Aye, and without using a name I managed to offend someone's sensibilities, because this thread was reported and moved here, even as all of the more inane threads this was meant to parody remain intact.
Your opinion is worth whatever mine is.

Try doing the drop test in it a few more times, HTC purposefully did some a little less than the others to see what effects it would have on the final product.

Always had low signal trouble with those darn rings around Saturn But the rest of the universe is 3GGG!

When's a better phone coming out?
Mine's too slow.
I can't do 4D graphics.
My PC's better.
It doesn't have an HDMI port to connect to my dad's $100,000 dedicated home theatre in the basement.
It doesn't have a stand, making watching some kinds of movies hard to watch.

Possibly ALIEN LIFE

Just thought I had to share this! here's a link to yahoo article
http://news.yahoo.com/s/digitaltrends/nasascientistfindsevidenceofalienlife

I'd be more interested if they had found a cure for cancer or something.
Like, c'mon, aliens are exciting and all, but what if they're real? What's going to happen? Most likely - nothing. For the past 2000+ years there hasn't be a recorded face-to-face alien encounter so I highly doubt anything would happen.
But yeah, exciting none the least.

Those links got scrubbed. Which is typical for our friends in Menwith Hill Surrey.

I'm very excited about this. I just hope these claims are true. I just think its kind of a coincidence that this happened, because there were rumors that the American government will soon admit that there is alien life. But its all hear say...idk. Plus this is way more of a big deal than a lame UFO. This is science! NASA is serious about this, they've invited 5,000 scientists to examine the evidence. If this isn't a big deal to anyone then wake up. If these claims become fact, it's the biggest discovery of man-kind.

We're rather shallow and jaded in this country, augoza. Don't expect too much.

There's no aliens

Lets face it, IF there is life out there intelligent enough to to find us and make contact, then the chances are that they would be much more advanced than us and either totally ignore us or destroy us. In the style of either "Independence Day" or "Mars Attacks"???
Im hoping its more like Mars Attacks personally.......
As far as Im concerned unless they bring us some kind of strange and exotic space meat and teach how to cook it then they can **** off.

Agreed. But lets face the facts first. NASA only CLAIMS so far. And what they found was just life on a micro level so far. No intelligent life. These organism's may be the only alien life besides us. As soon as someone says "aliens" most people jump to conclusions and think guns and destruction, But it could be as innocent as plant life on another planet.

Well I personally think its silly to believe we're the only life in this whole universe. Its a strong theory. And I've heard about USA and other countries back-engineering alien craft. In my opinion, most legit UFO sightings were humans controlling the craft. Could be possible. BUT like I said people all those stories don't mean anything compared to this. No scientist has got involved with those theories. And yes I do somewhat support some theories. But this is science people. Hail science lol

Off topic can't be proved wrong theories.

OK so since I'm on the roll tonight I thought I'd make a theories thread, post your theories, I know you have some good ones
Here are mine:
What if the dinosaurs were so advanced in technology, that they made a whole civilisation out of organic stuff, which is why you can't find any trace of it because it all disintegrated. Also, with that technology they made bombs with the power of nuclear bombs that instead of leaving radiation, they leave oil. a war started between all the species, and they used these bombs, which is why they extinct. Then 2 ape like dinosaur were the only ones left and then evolution came...
You know, it's not the government that's hiding UFOs, aliens and extraterrestrial life. It's aliens hiding themselves and blaming it on the government.
You think they want to visit and say hi?
Think again, they're coming, and they are coming to destroy earth, whether you like it or not. They're done with the human stupidity, and thanks to the internet they don't have to come and visit earth again. Yeah, facebook, twitter, instagram, myspace..etc they are all part of the alien's plan. Why do you think the number of sightings are far less than it used to be?

The zeta function has no zeros in the region where the real part of s is greater than or equal to one. In the region with real part of s less than or equal to zero the zeta function has zeros at the negative even integers; these are known as the trivial zeros. All remaining zeros lie in the strip where the real part of s is strictly between 0 and 1 (the critical strip). It is known that there are infinitely many zeros on the line 1/2 + it as t ranges over the real numbers. This line in the complex plane is known as the critical line. The Riemann Hypothesis (RH) is that all non-trivial zeros of the zeta function lie on the critical line.

DTV Transition
Some theorists claim that forced transition to digital television broadcasting is practical realization of "Big Brother" concept. They claim that miniature cameras and microphones are built into set-top boxes and newer TV sets to spy on people. Another claim describes use of mind control technology that would be hidden in the digital signal and used to subvert the mind and feelings of the people and for subliminal advertising.[73]

Petition to end fractions and convert to metric in USA. Go sign!

http : // wh.gov/lgPsl
The metric system has been officially sanctioned for use in the United States since 1866, but it remains the only industrialised country that has not adopted the metric system as its official system of measurement. Not only will the metric system finally allow the US to easily communicate and trade with other nations, It would also eliminate the need of fractions making math and engineering measurements much easier to create and read. On December 23, 1975, President Gerald Ford signed the Metric Conversion Act into law; this act gave official sanction for the United States to convert to the metric system of measurement. The money saved up for the conversion was later put into the army and we gave up metrication. www[DOT]nist[DOT]gov/pml/wmd/metric/upload/1136a.pdf
Alright. Let me just give one example. NASA lost a $125 million Mars orbiter because a Lockheed Martin engineering team used English units of measurement while the agency's team used the more conventional metric system for a key spacecraft operation, why? Because of the US using customary. Engineers have to convert everything they do to metric, it would be easier to just do it in metric in the first place? Metric is accurate without the need of fractions. When he said trade, he did not mean Currency, he meant the fact that we make our things to customary units and the other countries to metric units. What if you ordered a computer and thought the measurement was in inches but it turned out to be centimeters? When we send our blueprints to factories outside of the USA, we have to convert everything. It takes a lot of time already just to design everything, but now we have to convert the measurements? People who get Fs in mathematics could get As if it wan't for having to simplify fractions and having to work with them in technology classes and workshops and in regular math class. Decimals are a hundred times easier. 

How about every country switches to our system instead?

It would be fantastic if this happened... but honestly, the majority of people in the U.S. simply can not handle it. I'm sure the majority of folks here on this forum would do great, though...
Here in Southern Arizona they were going with the push to go metric on one highway (I-19):

Ah but metric makes so much more sense to those that actually use math. As the OP hinted at, it's just one more thing helping the U.S. lag behind the rest of the world. More of a hassle, but still. ...though really, nothing much for the typical person to learn beyond how to pay attention to road signs and use the correct values on their speedometer (that simple task is why we aren't metric today, IMO).

Here is the big hurdle to overcome. Our perceptions of the things we use to measure in the current system. In the US, you say it's 10 C outside. Most of us here will scratch our heads and wonder, does that mean it's hot or cold outside? Now, you say it's 50 F, oh, ok, I better grab a sweater. To the rest of the world, you guys grew up with the metric system, we didn't. In our minds, we measure everything in our current system. I'm to old to change my ways. I have a feeling most adults hear will feel the same.

Here is the big hurdle to overcome. Our perceptions of the things we use to measure in the current system. In the US, you say it's 10 C outside. Most of us here will scratch our heads and wonder, does that mean it's hot or cold outside? Now, you say it's 50 F, oh, ok, I better grab a sweater. To the rest of the world, you guys grew up with the metric system, we didn't. In our minds, we measure everything in our current system. I'm to old to change my ways. I have a feeling most adults hear will feel the same.

Wat... 50F is swimming pool weather.

At least you guys don't argue like these people down at the google+ Linux community. I posted this there and it turned into a heated debate. https://plus.google.com/u/0/103115391145623678721/posts/12nuJ9bdEhx

You haven't been on xda much. The guys in off topic argue like no others.

I have been on XDA since 2010... It is just that I have taken on a new alias so I made a new account for it. If 3 years doesn't count as much, then I don't know what does... But I did stay out of OT.

Actually, i feel the Celsius change would be far easier.
0 C: Freezing point of water
0 C-15 C: Cold
20 C: Warm
~23 C: Normal room temp
30 C+: Hot
100 C: Boiling point of water
Doesn't sound hard, starts from 0 and ends at 100 (for water) and not somewhere in between.
