Help, can't put down my phone! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

I'm gonna need a rehabilitation center for this phone, I bought it 4 hours ago and every time I put it down it takes 2-3 minutes before I am yearning to pick it up and play with it again. I think that Samsung has slipped some chemical in the phone that creates an addiction. Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone found any decent techniques to rehabilitate themselves?

I hardly use mine unless I get a text, email, or a phone call...

Nice pointless thread.

I have a gf and still, play with my phone all the time, which makes her pissed which makes really good sex, or no sex, its a gamble lol

I have an amazing gf who is pretty much the only one who can break me from this addiction. And pointless? Yeah, I'll admit it is a pointless thread, but isn't that what the general section is for? If you'd like I can post another pointless "oh em gee my lag is so awful I am gonna return it for the ONE!" Thread.

anyways, small crack on the bottom left corner, and 2 knicks on the side but overall pretty good shape
if anyone wants any more info let me know.
i dont sell stuff over ebay extremely often but i do have 100% feedback
Good luck
i guess i should add that im only selling it within the united states. (continental)
due to excess fraud from various other countries, and shipping rates.

very nice, have you tried out a one x yet, im loving it.

I'm picking up my one x on Sunday. They were out of the white one so I waited for it. Yea its a nice phone. I started out with an HTC phone so I've always been partial to the smoothness of sense. Never really liked touchwiz much.
Much smoother than touchwiz huh? Transitions are super smooth. Almost like iPhone smooth.

iphone users could care less what we say (I know, I work with about 30 of them), they know 100% that they have the best phone ever made & that's that.
Most of them just give you a blank look if you bring up ANY other phone........

Exactly!
And I thought religious debates were over and here we are again with apple and samsung xD and yes all of us are aware of the s3's capabilities but let us allow other people to believe in their own right. They can dwell in their illusion as long as they want so let them be.
I just love how Samsung makes it look like the iphone. Jk. I know they're being sued for that. Hopefully, they don't quote me. Lol
Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!

Wether they are guilty of it or not. Samsung still makes a better device. And i love how we dont sue them for the dropdown notifications.

I've used both the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone, BOTH are great phones, it's just preference for some users.
Personally I prefer the greater customization of Android, some others may prefer the ease of use in iOS.

[Q] CM10 can we pressure?

Is there anyone we can email - put pressure on .. start a petition?
I like my phone, and I am sure it has the processing power etc to perform fine. Wife has S3 and the interface is nice.. I like it much better.
How can the 990 be out for so long and yet nothing for the 999?
There must be somone we can pester???

Exact same situation here as well. My mom's already fed up with the damn thing freezing up every day, even though it's on the stock V21y ROM and baseband, which was supposed to "fix" these issues. She reboots it just about every day too (or else it gets slow as molasses).
For moms, just flash them a vanilla cm7 with either faux 048 or Trinity T15 kernel.
Solid, dependable, hassle free after initial setup.

Does anyone know if there has been any real progress since the ICS release/leak/whatever for the SU660? I thought that since it has the tegra 2 as well maybe it could be ported over more easily than from the p990. But I don't know what all is involved with that sort of stuff.

As much as you could sell iPhones / Galaxies on craigslist for I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often to people
It's basically like if you're in public showing off that you have $400 - 500 on you that is easily taken.

If you have the right software law enforcement can track down the phone. I would assume that people who steal phones at gunpoint aren't very tech savvy.

Sadly, Samsungdive was my only option. The phone has probably been sold and factory resetted already but i'll be sure to install some tracking apps next time. Experience comes at a price!.
When I saw the the thread name I thought to myself, this is definetly a South African as this happens far too often down here with some people losing their lives over a damn phone.
Shocked to find out it happened on the northern tip of Africa, Egypt .So sorry to hear that mate, glad they only took the phone and not your life. Where were you when it happened?
The GS4 is worth it, definetly, got my GS4 as my GS3 broke, used my GS2 for 2-3wks and got GS4 on launch day, and I've been happy ever since, it's a lovely phone, more refined than GS3.

Get one that you can install as a system app so that when it is factory reset it doesn't go away unless the buyer knows about rooting.

Excellent Case for a Commuter!

So I'm a university student who has to commute to school everyday. I wanted to get a clear case that let's me show my month pass so I don't have to fumble around with my wallet. I tried looking at the malls but they were all for $10 or more.
I found this for 2 bucks: http://www.tmart.com/S-Pattern-Prot...Nexus-4-E960---Translucent-White_p195307.html
I received it in a week. The case was exactly like the one I saw in stores. The build is good, and there isn't really much to say about it other than that it serves my purpose well! Here are some pics:

I got the same but in black simply because I was fed up with the phone sliding off desks/shelves/toilet cisterns/the floor.
It's tough and easy to remove at night when I slot the phone into a charging cradle.
