Late introduction. - Introductions

Been reading XDA for many years but I have never participated in the forums before now. Rooted an S4 a long time ago thanks to the guides here. Toying with doing the same to my current phone.
Currently using a Ulefone Armor 3T which I have had for 2 years now. I am from Scotland and do a lot of hill walking at the weekends hence the need for a phone that lasts a few days on a single charge.

I see your account was created back in June 18 2019 but this is your first post

Didn't realise it was that long ago. Explains why I couldn't remember my password. I don't know how much I will be able to contribute but I will try to be a more active member when I can.

What is the longest you have kept a phone and why?

Just curious.
My phone from November 2005 till May 2009 was a Samsung Z140.
¿Why?. I still didn´t know Android, and that happened in May 2009 that I bought a HTC Magic and WOOOOW. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy S.
I swap phones about every 8-10 months, or sooner if something real interesting comes along. But, I had a HD2 for 20 months, which is a real long time for me. That was just a powerhouse of a phone though. If it wasn't for the SGS2 coming along I'd still have it now.
Probably the EVO because there wasnt a worthy upgrade until the evo3d was released.

How do you switch so often!?
The longest I had a phone was this one, and my htc glacier. I usually switched phones every few months. That list of phones is from July two years ago.

I get phones on contract 1/2 the time and then sell them and buy unbranded ones the other 1/2 the time. I'm just fickle. I was actually tempted (and still am) to get rid of my 6 month old Galaxy S2 for a Galaxy Note.
I still have my excalibur since 2007. Used it often. I like it. ALso a kaiser from 2008 and a Mega.
I actually still have an HD2 with ICS, so it stills rocks. Probably I'll buy another phone in a couple of months (waiting for prices to go down)

Buy my Galaxy S2 so I can buy a Note
Every 4-5 months I switch. I get bored easily 0.o

I had my last phone - a lame Samsung flip phone - for almost 3 years because it just wasn't worth an upgrade (in my opinion). Thanks to cheaper data plans and tons more options for smartphones, it finally seemed like a good time to switch.
SAMSUNG GRAVITY 1 why? i had no money o upgrade on my 2 year contract lol
I have kept all phones I have owned since 2006. I plan on recycling all but my HD2, Captivate and my new LTE Galaxy S 2 I traded my AT&T Galaxy S 2 for yesterday.
Mine was the Moto Razr (I know... very sad). I had it for 3 yrs in College (been a few years).
Nokia 1100. Probably 13 years old at this point. I still play snake on the b!itch while I wait for roms to finish flashing.

Haha that's great!!!
Longest in use? 12 month.
But i still have my first phone (Panasonic GD450) which is 13 years old now Bought it when i was 12.
around 4 years, the phone has like 9 lifes
RIM Blackberry 8520, like one year and a half.
Why? Because I'm damn broke.
Then I got my Galaxy Ace <3
I bought my HD2 in dec 2009... never had a phone which lasted that long
I'm just addicted to it

Bonnaroo!

Is anyone else going?
It looks to be better this year than it was last year. I'm just happy that I'll finally get to see Alice Cooper perform (a)live.
I've been four different years, it gets worse each year. I have never paid to go, I work a few hours and get to play the rest. I'm liking the lineup this year, and I'd actually consider going (I didn't go last year), but my brother's graduation is the 9th, so no such luck.
Have fun, though!
I was looking into volunteering so I could get in free, but I just shook that off and gave them my money (maybe next year, if the lineup is as good). Friends wanted me to go last year, I didn't do that either. This will be my first year there (mainly for the good lineup). I hope it's good enough for me to want to return.
And thanks!
I didn't volunteer, I actually worked with a food vendor. My first year there we were actually on shakedown street, it was nuts.
Definitely have a good time, but remember to be safe. There's free water all around so keep yourself hydrated.
Last time I was there I ran into Jack Black at the Spicy Pie stand (great pizza, btw). He was strangely a very normal person.
Ahhh, gotcha.
My friends' band, Alabama Shakes, is playing up there, and I can't wait for it. And yeah, there will be plenty of water on my end and no drugs in the convoy. And I have all the camping equipment I'll ever need. I'm just extremely excited at this point.

Hey guys you may not be familiar with this but last year my wife had asked me to possibly post on my 4 main forum sites that I use about her works annual phoneraiser AND before you stop reading let me explain the out come of this can land you a new "white" nexus 6.. She works for a children's and battered women's shelter and each year they hold this phone raiser to try to get phones to give to there clients so aka the battered women.. I don't believe they give them to the children I think that's another department.. So pretty much what I'm asking is if you have any old phones you don't use does not matter the condition as long as they still can make a call and text if you would donate them to her work for these people and in return for every phone you send in I'll put you in a drawling for a nexus 6 that I will pull the name on Christmas day as I did last year with the nexus 5 last year we were able to get 24 phones which was great! ALSO for every phone you send to them I add your name again into the drawling so if you send for phones I'll put your name in 4 times which gives you a 3 to 1 advantage lol IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE PLEASE JUST PM ME thanks guys

Hey bill ya those phones are fine any really as long as they work and I think that they have to be Sim card phones because of the prepaid whateverness they use.. I could not see them paying for real service for the phones sense they are just reusable deals for whenever they need them! They deal with thousands of clients so they use a lot and by what I understand they go through a lot of these phones.. I appreciate your donation and 2 phones is 2 times the chance of winning the nexus 6 as for android forums I may or may not post there just depends I have 4 donations on here.. Well 5 now so we will see how it goes I'll run it all the way till December 24th like I did last year for the nexus 5

What a shame. The one with kangaroos is much more interesting.
Hope to visit my parents in San Diego in September. My brother will be there too. Haven't seen him since 2010.
no plan for vacation, yet.
maybe planning a trip to Bali :laugh:
Save up money for the fall semester of college and hang with my girlfriend.

It's too early to think about vacation!

I need help, and I'm trying everywhere.

Welcome to XDA,
Sorry to hear about your situation, a lot of people are in similar situations including me as well.
But this is not the place to ask donations, and even less if you are a new member.
I wish you very good luck and hope soon you (and me too) can find a job.
Cheers
