http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=19274359
Sarah Murnaghan of Newtown Square has end-stage cystic fibrosis and has been unable to leave Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for three months, needing a ventilator to breathe, according to an online petition that had drawn more than 17,000 supporters by Monday. Her mother, Janet, said her daughter has only a matter of weeks to live.

I think you are on the wrong forum dude, this is XDA Developers, not a charity organization. Also, check your facts before you repost stuff like this, as most of the time, these stories aren't true.

How are would they put an adult's lung inside a 10 year old girl?

I realize that this is not a charity org site, which is why I'm not asking for monetary donations. All I'm asking for is a couple of minutes out of everyone's busy schedule to just sign a petition that could possibly help the child from my post above or any other child that may face the same situation in the near future.
Besides, the last I checked, this is an off topic forum.
Also for those that feel this is fake...that's why I posted the link to abcnews site. This was also on the news broadcast this afternoon. Check all the news sources online or offline and let me know if you find that this is a scam.

Even when petitions "succeed" they typically do absolutely nothing and the people who sign them go back to their lives feeling like they made a difference. If you really care about something then you need to call or write your representative and encourage others to do the same.

Also for those that are skeptical, the petition to Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal received 114,322 signatures(including mine) and resulted in an official White House response:
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TOMake Unlocking Cell Phones Legal. said:
The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren't bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It's common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers' needs.

Irenew? True or fake???

Hello,
So does anyone have purchased the Irenew bracelet?
It claims.giving strength /balance via some sort of new technology and just placed and order and im.starting to think it is fake but not sure if anyone have tried it leaving feedback would be great.
Thanks folks.

It's a scam, and work by placebo. I tried it, and it makes you think it works. The trick where you have your hands in the back, and someone pushes down, at first you don't know how the person will push down, so your body loses balance, but the second time you know what force to expect and your body counteracts it.

Android Could come to an end.

Guys, i would like to share with you a piece of info. Apple has acquired a few patents related to Android. What's the relation? Android has infringed 9 patents of Apple and 2 from Microsoft. This will cause Android mobile producers to stop device production. So, what are the patents infringed?? Well i only saw 2. It is the multi-touchscreen of Apple's patent and some other thing... i forgot.
This info is from some part of xda... i forgot... Google it. Its based on somethingarena.com... so maybe android will die out.
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
Hard to believe. Android is nowadays too big to fail. Even if this is true, I'm sure that Google will go thermonuclear on this, to protect its platform.

Anyway talking serious now, I really doubt Android will come to an end, at least involuntarily. Google is extremely powerful! It's not some patent infringement that will stop it... They probably have the best lawyers, and strong arguments.
One thing, I have some thoughts that maybe Google will discontinue Android, but maybe after 3 future successful years, to crest another new OS, which will have backward app compatibility with Android... Sounds crazy yeah? Anyway that's my thoughts lol

Android will only end either when they got no more desserts to name or when apple decides to stop making ****ty stuff therefore no more competition for android
One of the reasons Google bought Motorola was to aquire it's library of patents for exactly that sort of situation

Fyi, supposedly, s2 sucks, meizu dual core is Bette

I'm basically being ganged up by two meizu owners trying to get rid of their phone, laughing because they think it's so much Bette than anything, even as good as the s3 and note. Supposedly the galaxy s2 is horrible... Lol

People are such dicks. And I'm talking about the replies on this thread, not the meizu owners. I've never handles a meizu phone but I've heard plenty of good things about them, but this sounds like a blind fanboy argument. The GS2 is still great even though we have the GS2 runt but at this point there are a lot of phones that are better than the t989. It would help if you got what meizu model they have lol.

http://m.engadget.com/2011/12/15/meizu-mx-review/
Well after reading this review I'm surprised by the Meizu MX 2 core. Its got the exynos 4210/Mali 400 SoC we wish we had in the t989, a higher Res screen, better build quality. As far as I can see the t989 only wins at camera quality (barely..), a bigger screen with better picture quality and an SD card expansion, and of course dev support. I'd say both have pros and cons but are essentially on par.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Well said, although I believe personally the super amoled plus display makes up for the resolution, the meizu has the same resolution as the HTC sensation for example on a basic 4 inch screen though.

I think the problem stemmed from you just making a thread with a statement in it. You didn't ask any question and it would have been like me posting "I had a brown cat once, it was awesome" and then getting all *****y because people didn't assume I wanted a philosophical debate on why brown cats are superior to other cats.
After clearing it up by actually asking for feedback I think it was just people being snooty.
I haven't heard anything about those phones though. I might have to look up some reviews.

If you could manipulate l any feature of people's phones what would it be?

Say you could control someone else's phone using your mind (like a super power) but you could only do it to one feature. What would you pick. Contacts? Texts? Calls? Maybe even the camera to r the popular Facebook.

Yeah we ACTUALLY do but all the other companies say the same thing and give the impression that they also have it. I mean if you look into it, it's very clear we do and say Verizon don't. But commercials are very deceiving to some.
I don't really care about the other networks but maybe if the others don't advertise that they have unlimited, we can get more money put into Sprint and improve our network. (I don't if that's why Galaxy wants to sign, but I'm just theorizing why someone from Sprint would care)
