With the release of the 2.1 with camera and the new kernel. I've found myself checking this forum every chance I get. It has become so addicting that I can't even think of anything else. Almost once every hour, I get on my laptop pop open my browser and goto xda-developers.com (even in my sleep!). "Did they fix facebook sync?! or maybe video recording!" I ponder in my head as the page loads, secretly crossing my fingers. "Alas not yet, no worries I'll check again in another hour (or maybe 45 minutes)" Making sure I have the LATEST has become more important than meals. My friends don't recognize me anymore, not one shares in my excitement when I say LIVE WALLPAPERS! I don't know what to do. Someone please help.
I hope you are being sarcastic? If not, try getting a girlfriend My girlfriend has significantly reduced the amount of time I spend on here

HA! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. My girlfriend isn't fanatical but she thoroughly enjoys the fruits of my obsession(s). She loves fresh 1.1 and the performance improvements of the gumbo kernel.

don't know about the other stuff
Wondered were you were....The off topic was lonely....
Did your clothing line ever take off? I was serious about your business model and I was serious about offering my services to achieve this new level of customer interaction.
So we had another fight about me spending too much time playing with and talking about android and phones. As long as cellphones don't come up in conversation we were the happiest couple in the world. But I finally broke up with her because I couldn't even think about android without her getting mad at me. And I figured I would just find a girl that shared my interest. But I just realized that there are ZERO females(at least in the state of alabama) that even know what android is. Should I quit looking now? Does anyone have any advice to find them(if they exist that is)?
I lol'ed so hard.
if this isnt a troll , ur a noob for not being able to control urself not to talk about ur fone
sounded like my wife ...picking a fight because too much time on xda and phones.... Well, you can move from your state

Sorry you think I'm a noob, but I can control myself enough to not talk about it, but WHY should I? I'm going to look for a girl with common interest, and if I don't find anyone I will suppress my techie talk. But until I know that she doesn't exist, why would I change the kind of woman I would like to date?
So next time your off just supermanning hoes think about what a relationship should be about.
This is what I get for asking for girl advice on xda
LMAOO! If your serious, I really think you messed up BIG time! Call her now, apologize, and get off of XDA.
sorry to hear it bro. my wife also gets pissy when im on modding/hacking forums too much, but she'll get used to it eventually
I somewhat agree with Original Android.... if you usually get along, apologize and try to consider some of her interests. some people just dont get our devotion(addiction) to such things
as far as quitting XDA..... bad idea. maybe just set a specific time for this great site.
its all about compromise homey..... i hate you for making me think serious!! j/k
Had a fight here too for this very same reason...

Well my friend, it's time to negotiate . I did this with my wife, I agreed with her that I will spend some hours a week to be on the web and xda of course (while she's around). So both of us are happy since I comply with the terms when she's around ....but she's not always around you know.
Yes, time is not equal my girl says...
Anyway we should re negotiate a new way if possible
She's the one, I'm pretty sure of it

Ok first off, hope you are LOVING highschool and football still. And yes I messed up big time, she's truely a wonderful person. But I didn't have to call her, she called me and we came to a compromise. She said if I would buy her that "nexus thingy" and actually "teach" her what I was talking about, she thinks she would really enjoy learning about it. And in my mind it wasn't a compromise, I got exactly what I wanted..... oh wait I just spent $500 on an N1

I'm going to be frank. Return that N1. The relationship is now headed in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons.
In your future relationships, if you're with your girl, be with your girl. Learn to compromise. Your partner's reaction to the particular behavior (i.e., dealing/talking Android) is ultimately just a natural reaction towards the frequency in which you exhibited it (i.e., excessively). Imagine if your partner asked you to accompany them to go shopping every day of the week for at least 3 hours each day. While you guys are shopping, she'll talk to you about every brand, and fashion, etc. Should she leave you because you aren't interested in her interests?
Your Android fetish is a hobby. There are more important things in life that you should be paying attention to. I'm not saying this girl is -the- one you'll be with for the rest of your life, but things like growing and improving social skills should take greater precedence than learning and keeping what's up with the latest and greatest on Cyanogen mods.
Take my advice for what it's worth to you. Just remember, at the end of the day, it's just a phone.
Im not returning the N1. I shouldn't have ever posted this thread. I know exactly what important things are in my life(what exactly did you even mean by that??). I'm going to stop this now because people don't and can't know every detail about our relationship and it is now being misinterpreted.
And it's not about roms or tweaks it's about the future of technology, which I think everyone can agree is rather important
well this is funny... you are trying to find a girlfriend on XDA ?

So did I mate ! The OP should go to some dating fora or something why on XDA ! LOL !
fk, i had something like this too once, since then i didnt talk about phones that much anymore xD..
well but she knows now that this is like a hobby for me, and its not that bad when i talk about it from time to time...
hell we are techjunkies, but even we need to hold back with our tech **** when talking to a girl xD
(i knew that before, but, for example, i couldnt live with it, if my gf would buy an iphone.................XD)

You telling me that it's not about ROM or tweaks and that it is actually about the future of technology is really a bad attempt at justifying your hobby. This is even illustrated by the following clause when you feel the need to garner further support of your hobby by amassing the opinions of your fellow XDA members.
But nevermind that, good luck with the relationship. I do hope that things work out in the end.
daamn!!!
I usually dont talk about phones when Im with my girl... hell I've even visited xda less, since Im in a normal relations (not those in which I have to be responsible for everyf**king thing.. - had one of those about a year and a half ago)
anyways - just find something to talk about that is interesting for both of you + keeps your mind off the phones...
or if you can't you can get yourself off the xda, or you can always ask someone to ban you.. just kidding
so basically she had the bravery to say : $500 fone or no sammiches
and ur happy about it
Okay, humor is a great way to make an entrance, so I will post a short story I wrote. Loving the forum so far, and have learned so much!
Anyway, before getting the Galaxy S3, I talked it over with my iPhone and Siri, and they said it was okay if I brought someone new into the household and relationship. Anyway, I brought the Galaxy S3 home to meet the "gang".
At first they were okay with it, and then jealousy reared it's head. I ended up fighting daily with my iPhone and Siri, and at one point, I was sleeping on the balcony.
I was like WTF?? This is *MY* house. Why am *I* sleeping on the balcony? To make a long story brief, I took back my place and made Siri sleep in the toaster for a night to show her who was boss. (she's watching me type BTW. Silly Siri. Hi Siri, daddy still loves you!)
Anyway, things seem to be back on track, but last night I couldn't sleep cuz S Voice and Siri were bloody arguing over which pizza place was closest to me. Always competing. They're so cute.
Anyway, I have to get going, S Voice wants to go out for a walk and she told me to leave Siri home. BBL

Welcome, but you could, and should, have said 'Hello' in this thread - stickied for people to 'Say Hi' in
P.S. Try not starting an iPhone vs Android war with your first posting in OT as well - Archer frowns on that sort of thing

That definitely is not my intention since I love and own products from both Samsung and Apple.
It's just something that appeared in my head a few days ago, so I put it to text.
I had to use two diff products in order to create the story.
And I did say hello in that thread before posting this. Thanks tho.
Anyway, take care.

Now I feel like I need to defend myself and to be very clear I am not a troll, and far from.
Altho the definition for "troll" or "trolling" these days is so ambiguous and used so loosely, I am not sure anyone really know what the term even means anymore.
I want to add, I am a "retired" hacker/exploiter/phreaker. I love web forums(And now this one), and have been using them in one form or another for about 27 years, since 1985. I joke around alot and am very friendly/social.
I hope to continue to learn on this forum as Android OS is a new frontier for me.
Having said all of this, I will cut this off now. Take care my friend.
Peace.

I know what you mean, I'm stuck in kind of a triangle as well. Google Now is my main partner and things are great, for the most part i couldn't ask for more. But then on Saturday when I'm drunk and I want to know when the SEC games are on, or what the score was.. I always give Siri the "talk of shame".

Wow... Hello there!
I posted this on iFans also. I have a weird sense of humor. Haha...
Hello everyone. I am here to learn new things. we have about 7 to 10 non-working electronics in our home. Thought I might like to fix them and distribute them to the grandkids, or just hoard them for myself. lol Over the last 10 years i have been visiting this site and have learned a few things. there is nothing like fixing up stuff that you thought you could never do or understand. Mostly when i would fix something it was by accident, and i never knew how i got there or what exactly i did. Anyway, it should be interesting for sure. Thank You all in advance for your help and also for the help ive gotten in the past.
Welcome aboard XDA! Fixing is fun... keep doing it! Enjoy your continued journey around the forums!
