Well to be honest, it can happen to anyone. Imagine the social anxiety that would set in if your teleprompter malfunctioned and you have 1000+ eyes on you. Your throat wells up and you can't talk. While I do find it funny the man posted on his blog right after and joked about it. He took it like a champ.

Samsung do you not pay attention

If samsung were smart they would not have hyped up a issues thread and they would have payer attention to all of the questions they've been hit by on twitter and come with a statement. Is that really that hard or did they just wanna poll how many angry users they still have.

I'm curious how hard the XDA staff was laughing as SamsungJohn contacted them to make the huge announcement.
I bet Samsungjohn called frantic to have XDA shutdown the thread because it was going down in flames.
What's really amusing is when you look at what has happened over the past 3 days or so. Man, they REALLY did stir up an absolute frenzy. Hundreds and hundreds of posts in multiple threads and it accomplished absolutely nothing but re-igniting a lot of burning anger that had simmered down quite a bit since 2010. I visualize it as poking a stick into a fire ant hill then watching the ticked of buggers go nuts. Such a shame.
I think it had a lot more to do with the aggressive and adversarial way people asked non-questions, like trying to get people on twitter and fb to trash the whole process. If people treat someone like crap, when they come here to try and solve problems, what is the motivation to help us?
Mob mentality won't solve anything folks. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
I have no clue what they were thinking. I was ok, now I am irate
Ok guys we are not gonna start a flam fest over this. Thread closed

Not me! The thinness and lightness of this phone is the only thing that makes the giant screen tolerable IMHO.

why would you... i don't even know why people need extra battery. like for reals I am a teen meaning i text browse the web listen to music like crazy and i get through the day at night with about 28% battery (last night).
and now that i got my iPod back battery should last even longer.
i really do not understand why people obsess over battery a lot. like don't you all go home and charge your phone??
i would understand if you phone isn't keeping charge then obsess over the battery but other than that it just pointless to me...
my 2 cents.

HAHA. This wins the award for best post ever.
1) "like for reals I'm a teen..." ... that statement alone identifies this kid as the guy we all made fun of cause he was annoying and always corrected the teached.
2) like for reals dude, maybe you should spend more time in school because you'll quickly learn that no matter how many times a day you tweet that you just ate pizza for lunch, it doesn't compare to the data usage a corporate user that has multiple exchange accounts syncing constantly changing calendar, contacts, docs, and OCS chatter.
3) Sorry if it's not a big deal if your battery runs low and you're unable to jerk off to Justin Bieber's new video in the bathroom stall between getting beat up on the bus and getting beat up in first period... but to some people there's a bit more at stake when their phone stops functioning.
Oye... I need a shower. haha

Wow... You've been aggravating me the last few days with your rude, snarky posts. Leave people alone if you do not have anything productive to say. This isn't like some general forum to flame people in..
It is an android development forum, and if you cannot provide any useful feedback, instead of just flaming other users, then why dont you just stop...

Are you illiterate? I was responding to a flaming post. I clearly explained why someone might want to have a longer battery, because the poster portrayed that battery life should not be a consideration.
If you don't like my opinions, you're free to block me.... but don't post your opinion and say others cannot do the same, that makes you a hypocrite. Your entire post is exactly what you're *****ing about other people doing.

Ya okay... First of all, Transformer27's post was not attacking anyone directly. Then you go ahead and respond by flaming all over him, ripping him to shreds, for what he posted, and how he posted it, and making fun of him directly as a person...
Your calling me a hypocrite? its not hypocritical to call someone out on abuse, sorry.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion.
dam seriously guys/girls
first, i do pay attention in school just because I am tweeting and face book and listen to music, doesn't mean i don't pay attention, im actually graduating today top 10%!
second, i have my email accounts, calendars, and pretty much everything synced up to 1 hour intervals, college papers for my summer course are done through Google docs so yes i use a **** load of data to get my **** done.
and third, Justin Bieber dude really? that was so unnecessary if your going to put something some thing like that at least put porn hub or some thing else. get with the program... Justin Bieber... pffft.

I agree with hoofadoo. Bella, he was merely stating his opinion. No reason to attack him. My opinion on the battery differs from his as well, but I don't feel a need to flame him. Play nice.

LMAO at the weather.
i just think it really defeats the purpose of having the thinnest smartphone in the states.
and now that we have roms, battery life gets better from here. im currently running at 63% percent unplugged since 9:50is am. that more than 12 hours already and still have more than half.
I think we can all agree its good idea "IF" you need it to carry around a small portable external charger. That way no one looses the thinness or the light wighteness of the phone.
I might not need an "Executive" account to know that battery life on smart phones usually suck, but I am a teen and the "Constant " twitter posts I put out there leave me with battery to spare at the end of the day.
PS. I don't have a twitter. Lol
My thoughts on the subject.

And that's where you're wrong. You can have an opinion, but it it's rude to another person, i'd like you to keep it to yourself. You can correct someone, but stay polite. I don't like the tone you're setting.

Going to the Movies

Considering the new Dark Knight movie came out, I thought about making a post to help any save a little money, by getting you out of the convenience fee that you always get charged with through fandango.
I have an AMC stubs card that waives the fee. If anyone wants to use it, please PM me and I'll send you my number.
Stay safe out there. My condolences go out to the families involved in the shooting I hope no one here was affected in any way
Enjoy the movies guys

Yea this is pathetic. I'm going to have to bring my carry gun now when I goto the movies so I don't get murdered :/
God if you can hear me , I think we are about due for another flood or something.
This is =ucking stupid. **** like this makes me want to visit my family. How can people be so stupid. Oi! I hope all those hurt are ok, and those who didn't make it are legit. YoY
Yes but even in events like this, I think it's all the more reason to continue on as normal as possible. What happened here is nothing anyone could've predicted or stopped anyway. It shouldn't scare people into not going to the movies anymore. I know I'm still going to see the movie

It is shocking when something like this happens. I live in Tucson, and was here when Jared Loughner shot all those people, including Gabby Giffords. It was shocking to have it happen in my town down the street from where I live. Sometimes when you see this stuff on the news it is removed form you, and doesn't affect you as much. I know it certainly felt different when it happened in my town. Also Loughner was a student at my school, and it made me think how he could have just as easily decided to shoot up the school. I want to know why this keeps on happening. This keeps happening all over the world, and just seems to be becoming more frequent. Dare I say the end times are near, or they should be +1 on the flood coming!
I couldnt go out the night after that cause of that stupid act of so called villianous. wtf was he thinking anyway? oh yea btw i live in columbus thats a very long way from colorado

Straight Talk having fun insulting me

So used straight talk for about a year, always under 2 gb data.
Get throttled today at .300 mb/s
Call customer service to have guys yelling at me and acting unimaginably rude.
Now their goons are actually insulting me on facebook.

These stories are exactly the same as what I went through.

I dont think that the people replying to you were actual employees, were they? It seems as though they are just random users who also liked the page and saw your post.
Randoms trolling u pretty hard
Dude, I highly doubt they work for the company. They're just random people on Facebook and you did kinda freak out at them for no reason.
ermagerd, TOS. I've linked people to them before - from T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint in recent memory - and I sure don't work for all of them. Not even one. I'm a biology student who has weird hobbies like reading legalese for the lulz (also called, "anything to procrastinate more is fascinating").
I mean, I post here but I don't work here. I post on tons of forums and give tons of advice about everything from piercings to fish care to making movie props. Facebook is just like a degenerate forum. People are bored - doesn't mean they work for anything related to what they're blabbing about.

This thread makes no sense. Those weren't Straight Talk employees. So Wtf were you wasting time there for? Seems you sty yourself up for the rope a dope.

They sure didn't act like employees. They were most likely other followers of the Straight Talk page on Facebook.

Not really, as they had my account details.
Also they were 'trolling' everyone who had a negative comment on ST's page for about four to five hours.
Notice all of the females had three names, private profiles etc.
Plus they sounded exactly like the ST CS reps.
You can think what you want.

[Completed] Harassment

I've inherited an android device from my dad.
It has been given to me as it was, unchanged, and with his XDA app and account still on it.
I'm getting messages from someone who obviously dislikes my dad.
I've explained in the CM13 forum that my dad has now left XDA and I've been gifted his phone.
I'm only 16 and this is my first android.
I'm not sure how to remove my dads XDA account off the phone but this person won't leave me alone and keeps messaging me saying I'm really my dad but telling everyone I'm one of his children.
Can someone please advise me on how to stop these messages, they are really nasty with bad swear words and nasty names and have upset me, and I've told my dad but it seems the reason he left XDA was over these messages.
Please help, this is bordering on harassment now.
This is the message I got.
From shawnsdada
OK that's why you decided to drag the drama into the forum then? You really his son or is daddy acting like his son now? Either way it's ****ing pathetic lmao. If you are his son then your dad is the most immature ****ing 44 year old father of 3 I've ever ****ing heard of and that's the truth.Go view his posts and see that I'm not the only one who has brought up his drama and victim games. He just didn't like how blunt I was about it and apparently can't take it like a ****ing man.
You don't think it's weird that e comes in to announce that he's calling it a day on this forum and the reasons why are personal and he won't et into it. Then goes right into saying why RIGHT AFTER saying he wasn't going to mention it. Then feels the need to mention his age and how many kids he has and that he has heart issues? What the **** does that have to do with anything other than trying to et sympathy? That's a sad excuse for a man in all honesty.
He can take that people ale him out on being very immature. Plain and ****ing simple. He heard he truth bounty and can't deal with it and that's just ****ing sad
