Today, in the hospital.
Last few weeks, on the bus to Chiang Mai.

I was crackflashing while getting ready to go out for breakfast the other day, and wound up having to re-flash google apps or some fixes or something like that during the car ride.
Trying to use google wallet to buy stuff lead to me downloading and flashing a new version in the middle of the mall, wandering from store to store staring at my phone.
I love the way this eventually becomes an addiction for everyone with a nexus

Ohh ya also when I drive, while in a meeting at work. While I work. While at the skate park while I ride. And so on. Lol

Lol, usually infront of a computer. BUT, when ICS OTA came out, m8 was nagging me with update via Google+ Messenger the whole time so I started doing update checkin's while in a club with a friend. Who happened to be a girl and wanted to dance :"not yet, lemme umm check my mail".

At red lobster....

A couple of hours before an important exam... fortunately for me it was straightforward. Both the flashing part, and the exam
EDIT: on the toilet (what can I say, it was a scary exam. Had to relax )
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

most my flashing has been done at the crapper at work <<

A better question might be, where haven't I flashed a rom?

right after sex laying next to my gf!

lol @ the thread. Toilet maybe

Lol. At the toilet, after having sex with my gf, meeting with my boss.

Some of the wierdest places is probably in the line at the store, or at the toilet as many of you others and at work while talking to costumers lol, I hope my boss didnt notice.

Two weeks ago I flashed a rom at my work right before going to lunch with some colleagues. Something went wrong and the phone started to reboot and get really hot when I was at the line of the restaurant. I had to reflash the rom while I was putting food in my plate with the other hand lol

Yesterday during xmas party with mine and my GF parents... two times cause i don't like first one.... today afternoon on the couch with my GF ironing my pants and shirts

Are you kidding me?
Girlfriend wins, but seriously that's a pretty small thing to complain about unless you are spending hours looking at your shiny little phone instead of staring into her eyes................turn off your phone and live!!!
Title was misleading I'm not choosing between them. She just hates my phone. Didn't know if I was the only one who seems to be diagnosed "obsessed" by the girlfriend lol.

Don't worry, this doesn't only effect girlfriends, my wife HATES, HATES, HATES my beautiful baby!
Can't we all just get along? Maybe I'll text her and ask!
Both my wife and daughter wanna kill me for mine.
Help her get a phone on par with yours then she'll praise you.
For my wife, she's not a geek but writes nearly everything down to stay organized. She had a Pantech Feature phone. So when my upgrade came, I got a Captivate. She wasn't too impressed until I got Netflix on it then told her that she can search all things Google with it and check her email.
So she says that when her upgrade came up, she'll upgrade to an Infuse, give it to me and switch SIMs with the Captivate and she'll take that. Cappy is running Continuum.
Since then I never hear the end of her praises for the phone and me. She loves Evernote and we share stuff all the time. She barely turns on her PC now(which used to be mine but that's another talk show).
Plus I'm running the Infuse....WIN!!!!!
Help your woman love the Super AMOLED goodness and ... you'll get a 'reward'!!!
You know...the 'reward' we dudes always want? THAT reward...yeah...

And of course the Netflix app just make it super duper much better.
My wife hated it and always complained about my free time I spent with my smartphone habit. She is an iphone user, so her opinion doesn't matter anyway!
My new GF is almost as bad as me and thinks it's hot that I can do all this cool stuff. She is getting a Nexus S this weekend and is so excited. She uses a Nexus One now. I'm getting a SGS2 next month.

[Q] Whats the longest youve been away from your infuse?

basically what the title says, whats the longest you've been away from your infuse?
for me...i haven't used my infuse in one week, school took it away last Wednesday, my parents picked it up last Friday only to have them decide to keep it because i had a bad grade in Spanish class...im hoping to get it back this Friday but who knows
so for me a week, how about you guys whats the longest you've been away?
BTW it is torture!!!!

Lol... when I used to get my phone taken away in school I would quickly take out my sim card if I was getting caught so I could just switch phones when I got caught and be like "IDC haha I'll pick it up whenever" and use a different phone. Same with when my parents took my phone. Buuuuut back on topic the longest I've been without a phone is probably when I lived in Michigan and didn't get service pretty much anywhere. xP
Two weeks plus. I hate it, but its a brick that can not be helped. Im getting the jtag service on it soon to save it. Then itll be alive woolhoooo. I hate using my ipod......

Why you love your Mytouch 4G

There are allot of reasons I love my phone, but just yesterday I dropped mine in the fish tank! WoW I was worried about it not working anymore. Did the normal steps to dry it out. To my surprise it is fine.
Thanks to all of you on xda for keeping old phones working better then factory.
Sent from my HTC Mytouch 4g using xda app-developers app
In the fish tank? Jesus. You must have been quick about taking that battery out. That or REALLY lucky.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
Speaking of fish tanks, I went to sea world this last summer and sat in the splash zone for the killer whales and got drenched with my phone in my pocket. I wiped it off and kept using it afterwards like nothing happened. I was expecting at least my mic or headset to screw up but its been fine since.
Not even a whale...

I work outside and there have been many times I got caught in the rain. I'm not talking a drizzle, here. I'm talkin' Noah all over again. Never had an issue with water damage.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
I've had this phone for 2 years, and it still works well....there are better phones out there now, but none are impressive enough to make me drop $300. Recently rooted it and installed ICS, and at this rate who knows when I'll get sick of it....
I had this kind of accident too. The phone works well after that. This is really a good phone.
:-X
lol ... I was shouldering a call while taking a leak (while drunk) and um went down to flush and there it went. *splash*
Washed it off lol and sanitized it multiple times and it still works.

This is true, cm10.1 is only in pre-alpha stages for both sgs2 and sensation. I keep my mt4g on cm7 though because I love "traditional android."

Possibly a dead blaze.... RIP (maybe)

Sad, sad day, folks
So no schiss, there I was, giving the kids a bath, when all of a sudden my blaze jumps out of my pocket and into the tub. As quickly as I could get over the shock of what happened, I removed the battery and threw the blaze in a bowl of rice, but I fear this may be the end of Betty and as much as I hate to say it, if it is dead, it's time for a Nexus. In a couple months, when I can afford a phone. We'll find out tomorrow whether Betty breathes. I have high hopes, as when I took the battery out, it wasn't wet underneath

My previous BlackBerry took a dive into our pool while I was emptying the skimmer and it took me a few moments before I could jump in after it. I unscrewed everything and took it apart, cleaned everything with distilled water, and placed the components into a bowl of white rice on on top of our cable box for a week. It still works today, although I only keep it around as a backup.
If you give you Blaze many days in a bowl of rice, and place the bowl on top of something that is perpetually warm, like a cable/dtv box or other heat-producing hardware (and give it a week. Seriously, give it 7 days to allow any remaining water to work its way out from underneath ball-grid arrays and the LCD) I'm sure it will come out the other end working fine.

It stood well the test of time. I've reclaimed the very first Android phone, myTouch 4G from my cousin. I gave him my Nexus 4.
Anyway, I compare the G2X, still solid and smooth. The myTouch is just slow painful to use. How times have changed.
The other day used G2X on skype and had multiple crashes and phone has become very sluggish at running more than 2 apps. This is on CM7. The display and colors are bright and deep black colors. In my opinion, its a great display.
My main is Nexus 5. Still my favorite phone.
Jumping ship and getting the nexus 5 as soon as I get a job.

Agreed, belongings have nothing to do with the person you are, but that doesn't mean you should limit yourself to your material belongings when it truly serves no benefit upon doing so. With that said, I f***ing love my brand new Nexus 5 =)
