sorry thought I had it but nope =(

It is for walking and texting. I had a similar app when I had an iPhone, that did the same and also said it was for walking and texting. You think any company would support texting and driving?

same here works for me too

I can't download it, it says its a bin file

worked fine for me. thanks!

Thanx for this fun

Why so much hate on driving and texting? I do it all the time... and call on phone to and have a total of ZERO crashes! I've been driving for almost 10 years now so people don't tell me i shouldn't, just because you can't drive to save your life doesn't mean I dont also know how to. Honestly though with this app I can see it causing more issues then the regular SMS app for the reason you would have to hold it above the steering wheel since it uses the camera to still post on screen I rather feel safer keeping phone in lap and texting it there.

just buy a ***** car dock and type sms with the phone docked

Why bc I know how to multi-task? Or because I know how to drive and I'm guessing you don't?

[Q] Mask your OS with Social Networking

So this is pretty random and I've done some searches and can't seem to find anything, probably because no one would care enough to do something like this besides me.
The problem: I'm a MS consultant and am tired of hearing **** from my WP7 friends and colleagues.
The ask: Is there a way to mask/disguise/FAKE the OS I have when working with social networking sites? Primarily Facebook for now, you know the "sent via Windows Phone" or "posted by HTC Sense", "Android", etc.
Anyone know how to change/hack/tweek that without changing phones/OS's entirely?

You could just post from their mobile sites and it will say posted from _____ mobile. You can also post from the main site from your phone and it's like posting from your computer.
I know this isn't really what you asked at all, but it will help with your issue.

Caring about being made fun of by windows fanboys for using a linux based phone to me is like caring about being made fun of because you dont huff fumes from an aerosol can. Always annoys me that some group or person can be so blinded to see that there is more than one alternative that works for people and it doesnt always come from the same source
Some applications let you remove that signature or set what it says. However, the easiest solution would be not to use the application and use the browser in the site. If they dont let you set it, then you have to modify the apk or modify the build.conf file in /system (which may or may not mess things up for other applications that depend on that). It's most likely picking up the make/model from that.
If it bothers you that much, you probably need new friends and ignore the coworkers you have to see regardless. Your current ones suck and have drank the koolaid.
Your problem also reminded me of the following penny arcade comic (ignore the phones in question, just the general overtone of the comic is what is related):

I guess I should have clarified. I'd love nothing more than my posts to start saying Windows Phone and seeing their false appreciation and excitement only to see me still rocking my TB with CM once I actually see them.
Was just a question, thought maybe someone else might have had some hack to alter it somehow.

Ah okay, you just want to one up them in a slightly smartass way . Generally as mentioned, it's just a setting in apps you can change, at least for things like email clients, but you probably looked in whatever you are using already.

Yeah, primarily it's the Android Facebook app for statuses and photo uploading. I wouldn't have the slightest idea on where to start in tweeking anything in it. Naturally I think the settings in the app wouldn't allow me to change that.

[Q] missing contacts-anyone else?

I've been having issues with missing contacts since getting the hox. I'm familiar with the way contacts and android and gmail work, i've had an android phone since Nexus One era.
Anyway my problem is missing contacts. I added a contact yesterday, saved it. Used it this morning, this afternoon it was gone. Today i added a phone number and pic to a contact i've had over a year and now the contact is missing from my contact list. his name and pic is on my call log, i can access the contact from there, and edit it, but its nowhere to be found under the regular contact list. if needed to cal him after he was wiped from my call log i wouldn't be able to find him.
Any ideas? TIA

I have had this problem as well, it's annoying as ****... Also, one time I sent a msg to "bob" then it said I sent it to "dan" then "dan" replied. Then I tried again sending to "bob" and It said I sent it to "dan" but the first msgs weren't there. Then "dan" replied... But it was actually bob this time. Then I force closed the SMS app. Then went back and it showed my 2nd attempt with "bob"s reply. But the first attempt was sent to the wrong person....
Those are two of my only 3 complaints about the phone. The third is that the stock messaging app, the mms size limit is 600k
The rest of the phone is amazing. I love it to death

Wow thats some crazy hit.. Gotta be real damn careful what u text lol.
Yeah the phone is amazing. Slowly but surely we r getting some serious upgrades without s-off or bootloader unlocked. Custom Roms are out now that dont use recovery. I'm scoring 5400 on Quadrant 2nd run with my 1.8ghz De bloated, ultra fast rosie, de-odexed, zip aligned, advanced power menu, Free Tether havin themed HOX..This is for sure enough to hold us over till we get a real unlock!! with this fast ass muthaducka. What more do you need? Devs just started doing it like this... Just gonna get better everyday!

Can this be made a bannable offense?

Is it really necessary to have an entire page worth of bull**** in your signature? And then top it off with a message to NOT SPAM THE BOARD? One single line of barely-legible text followed by an entire page of stuff nobody could possibly care about? It's gotten bloody obnoxious, all these huge pictures, all these huge spaces and lists and everything else.
Oh, and the "POSTED WITH XDA APP!" and "POSTED WITH TAPATALK!!" ****... give it a bloody rest, nobody gives a damn what you're using or what you posted it from. Yes, I know that's a default message - but what kind of ******* would leave that in place? You install the stupid thing - probably just to get rid of the popups - AND YOU IMMEDIATELY REMOVE THE SPAM. Who is the **** at XDA who said, "YOU KNOW WHAT GAIS WE NEED A SIGNICHUR IN OUR APP DURRRRRR".

I don't think people should get banned except for repeat offenders. Maybe some guidelines.....
(shouldn't this topic be posted in the "About xda-developers.com" forum?)

no it shouldnt most people have that even me..

he/she's probably the recognized contributor of useless signatures.
EDIT: Haha i found out who it was.. He also now has an annoying gif above the "xda-developers" gif..
I think xda should limit the amount of gifs and images you can put into your signature..

I've heard there is a limit, 4 images.

Well almost all the RCs has those same pics

The best route to air such complaints is to contact a mod, and not post it anywhere in open fora...
Anyways, I've attempted to contact the concerned rc, and we'll suggest him to use his space a little more efficiently...
And just a request, please be a little more polite in the future

I made my sig as simple as I can hence the multi-links. They should learn how to compress their sig alot better.

I gotta admit, My sig is a bit messy ;P

I don't think sigs are a problem, if you hate them that much try tapatalk 2 which doesn't seem to show them

I am still new to the forums and don't even know how to create a signature yet, but the original posting didn't seem to be that bad, just needs to be compressed a bit in my opinion.

Ok.. so the signature is a bit long.. but what beats me is the fact that you actually opened a new thread just to point this out, while you could have just reported it or PMed a Mod.
I have requested the user to shorten the signature

Stolen Phone

So, about 3 months ago, I got scammed out of my T-mobile Galaxy Note 2 by someone on TomsHardware.com. I thought it was a lost cause, and he was supposed to send me a Galaxy S4 (no comments on the trade please). What he sent me instead was a LG G2X with a cracked screen and was password protected. So, now, after a hard reset, I got access to the phone. Guess what? The pictures are still intact, and there is plenty of pictures of a person, and a name. I looked on facebook, and lo and behold, found the guy.
My question is this: Should I give this information to the police? I filed the report months ago, but if this is the guy, maybe there is a minuscule chance I could get my phone back. Or should I just leave it alone, its too long ago?

If you already made a report, its best you follow through with the evidence as that is how you can achieve what you want. Police work on evidence, lack of it, they sleep. :fingers-crossed:

Block your imei so he can't use the phone, eye for an eye

Owch
That sucks...
I have been doing some thinking about this today actually. after reading a similar post like yours I got remote terminal to send a text to execute something like dd random data to drive in r/w. and maybe even corrupt the boot loader before that hehehe
But after nuking it I would block the IMIE too to render it useless. I bet he will just sell it some poor guy even if cant make calls though. Absolutely tell the popo maybe the pictures are of another guy who lost his phone
good luck
