This strikes me as incredible dumb, and incredibly naive on the part of Samsung. They really should not be promoting such a dangerous habit. It might "help" by showing you the road, but you are still distracted. Can;t wait to see samsung sued for such a blatantly stupid feature

It's not meant for driving, but WALKING, you know that thing that doesn't involve a vehicle? Everyone thinks everyone needs to get sued these days. Give it a break.

Yes, because when you think ROAD you think "Lets talk a walk", moron. They can say its for walking, that doesnt mean people wont use it while driving. In fact, I'd wager the majority of its users will be driving.
Obviously, your brain was not made for THINKING, you know that thing where you make logical inferences based on the information present.

(req) Player - Girlfriend App

I was just wondering is it would be cool to make some kind off application to automatically silence several contact and incoming sms. I know there are some apps that work like this but i would be cool to act like this:
lets say: 4 girlfriends
amy - anna - annely - amber
When you at amy house select in the app your at Amy.
So automatically Anna - Annely - Amber is being locked or silenced.
All sms and contact are temporally removed. When you are going over at Anna the rest are being locked and silenced.
Would be cool to have a nice UI whit pictures.
Sound stupid but could be handy
Wow... that would be cool.
Sounds more like "I'm cheating and I don't want the one girl to know about the other" personally, I don't think that's the type of app we should be developing here...
You might be able to use callfirewall to do what you want! dont get caught though!!
This is not a thread to discuss whether you should cheat or not
every call firewall have profiles, you need that many profiles as much as your girlfriends are every profile will have blocking for a cetrain numbers you wish, yes it is simple - but you have to change the profiles manually

Nope, my love life is great, not that it matters to you... I just think that guys who cheat make the rest of us look bad and make girls suspicious of even the loyal guys... In short cheating and sneaking around makes it tough for those of us who are actually honest...
i know magicall works for that too
Sorry, no app is going to get you 4 girlfriends.
Don't think the OP was asking for four GFs. But i agree that this request does raise questions about male honesty.
hahaha its an idea that could be used in more constructive ways.
Like say you give your phone to one of those annoying people that just HAVE to see it. You can just change a quick setting and hide select things like say a couple folders (maybe ur pics folder) and texts for some of your contacts (like say your girlfriend). I mean honestly, who wants someone reading you and ur gf's texts? and then looking at all of ur pics? that way the only thing you have to worry about is them dropping ur baby. lol
EDIT: notice i said "girlfriend"....singular. lol
only 4??????
man, i wish i had this a few years ago, might have saved the first wife from seeing texts from the other gurls......... anyway i digress... yes the aps above do work ok, sometimes...., but if your life (wife) depended on it, i wouldnt.....
Provided you are not in a committed relationship with any of these women, I would suggest being more upfront about the fact that you see other women. A lot of women are surprisingly comfortable with this.
Damn, wish I needed an app like this...
Ok let’s close this thread. I think this app will never come to life. I should probably put more time learning programming so I could make it my self. But then again if I could do it my self with ease I think I would never ever needed it
Strange how one thread elsewhere makes you think of something totally unrelated on xda-developers.

Oh sure, seeking "underground" music is a worthwhile effort. I never said that it wasn't. Neutral Milk Hotel for instance offers a very intelligent sound for never having made it into the limelight... but ICP??? C'mon, even you must agree...
And where do I find the "menstuation" app??? I have never heard the term before. Is it next to the spelling app per chance?
Wow... I really must not have anything better to do...

+1 for ICP and placing Widgets anywhere. I love all this witty thread banter. Have to watch your xda thread Rep and not lose all that "street cred"
The Samsung Behold II on T-mobile allows you to place shortcuts, etc., on the homescreen and there's no snap-to-grid. You can put them wherever... so I'm sure it can be done.
You know, it's funny. I really don't even listen to ICP anymore. Started listening to them about 13 years ago and made screennames which reflected the group/album/song. Now, I still use the names for consistency more than anything else. Just funny, the assumptions that get made.

Iphone Crasher App?

hey guys i am sick of these people that has iphone 4 and think that the iphone is the best and android is NOWHERE close to it.

Are you f*cking serious? Get a life dude, who gives a sh*t if someone thinks iPhone is better than Android. What are you gonna do, 'crash' their phone, then celebrate when they stand up, start screaming in terror and declare Android superior?
You're an idiot
Use a sms bomber app and text them.
Then celebrate by watching porn on your android.
Then scream "IPHONE doesnt have PORN or SMS BOMBER"
But no.
You cant crash them
listen Dump A*S no one asked you to reply back ok. if you know how to reply nicely then do but if you can't the leave this page and consider you never seen it.
its a question and its non of your business if i celebrate or not,
it might be dumb question but i need it so if you don't like any topic on this forum then leave and go F............ self
Your best bet is an SMS bomber

thanks for the reply guys but i already know about sms bomber and they have it also.
i was wondering if there is some terminal command or something to just reset the phone or anything funny that you can remote the iphone via android.
i don't think there is anything like that but i was just asking and thanks again for all your replies

Stop being an asshat and get a life dude. you'd hae to SSH into their phone, and for that you would need their root PW and you would also need an address to SSH into to, and good luck getting that. Also even if you got in you'd have to hope that the terminal implement(I believe it is a modified bash) has the proper commands to "crash" their phones. instead of wasting sever space and everyone's time with your silly questions and do something productive, because all it sounds like is you are trying to build up some cred for yourself as some sort of "hacker". You come her, and you want everyone to do the work for you, so you can crash the cool kids iPhone at school. get a life
I think SMS bomber is the maximum u can get..
don't dream to hack their phones..

This is not a "simple question."
This is more of a "malicious loser nerd" question.
Nope there's no way to remotely crash an Iphone. SMS bomber only irritates them, but i think some of them have bombers too thats why we use anti spam filters. Hmmm but seriously, is there a way the Iphone can get overloaded and hang or crash?
Take their iphone, and throw it on the ground from a 6 story-foot building.
It's freeze.

I know about that lolz. Anyway seriously anyway to crash their software? Without them noticing is good enough already. Or how about developing an IOS app that can overheat and overload the Iphone's processors and battery.
no, that wouldn't work specifically because Apple is STRICT on their app store.
If your friend is jailbroken, you can try to make a app that would do that, but it'd be pointless.
you'd lose a friend (he'll probably know it was you)

Anyway, I close this useless thread and report this to a Senior Mod

SamsungJohn

He just posted today in development forum to announce that KB1 source is out. This, after we've known about it for a week, and already have custom kernels built off the source. Makes me want to add a second punchline to a joke I read:
There was a pilot flying a small single engine charter plane, with a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into Seattle airport through thick fog with less than 10m visibility when his instruments went out. So he began circling around looking for landmark. After an hour or so, he starts running pretty low on fuel and the passengers are getting very nervous. Finally, a small opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor. The pilot banks the plane around, rolls down the window and shouts to the guy "Hey, where am I? To this, the solitary office worker replies "You're in a plane." The pilot rolls up the window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to execute a perfect blind landing on the runway of the airport 5 miles away. Just as the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.
The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it. "Simple" replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct, but absolutely useless, therefore that must be Microsoft's support office and from there the airport is just a while away."
As they are getting off the airplane, they see a lone figure running down the runway screaming, "I know where you are. You are in Seattle." Everyone asks the pilot, "Who is this guy?" The pilot says, "Samsung tech support."

I would have loved to but that might not have been a good thing. I know I said I would keep you up to date and you guys know as much as I do right now. I will see what I can find out today.

Better you than me.....that's one feature that I will not turn on at all.

Activation of Zen should require authentication, because having people be able to temporarily brick your phone if you let them use it is problematic.
I did the other day, it basically sucked...lol
I did on my old OnePlus 6
Are you guys genuinely 12 years old or something? That's how you're sounding. Come on... If you don't want to get locked out of your phone, don't enable it? It clearly says what it's going to do... "I barely survived!!" "I'll never use this stupid feature!!" "it sucked!"
Well, good for you! Then don't use it. This thread is pointless. Stop whining
LOL, very entertaining xda thread! ?
I did it. It was nice. Having a break from the phone . I actually listened to what my wife was saying ?
I used it once but I wouldn't say I "survived". Makes it sound a bit extreme lol
Just enabled it once to see what the UI is like while its activated and chilled with the family for those 20 mins.
It's kinda sad to actually see ppl addicted to basically nothing. It's like saying....my chainsaw kept me from being with my family, you guys don't even realise how dumb, stupid or pathetic that sounds. Facecrap zombies gotta be proud of it. There should be an institution for this kind of mental illness.
I did so I could be forced to stop using my phone before going to bed, it helped a lot with me not being able to play with my phone and just focus on going to sleep. When you use it for the intended purpose its very effective.
What I find hard to believe is there actually has to be an app for this LOL. It's really a simple concept, Just put your phone down.
