Well, saw a topic about someone's phone reading there text messages out loud, and it reminded me of something.
My buddy said he went to his girlfriend's parents for Thanksgiving and after dinner the girls were all in the kitchen (lol I can hear the jokes already), and the guys retired to the living room. I guess there were over 16 or so people there at least.
While in the kitchen, his girlfriend messaged the boyfriend in the living room, telling him how she couldn't wait to get him alone later (but in much more raunchy terms).
Well, whatever app he was using just read it out loud, for everyone, including her father, to hear freely.
By the time he got to the phone, the damage was done. She came out of the kitchen, and her dad asked her "Do you need to be going? I hear you just can't wait to get home" with a smirk on his face.
Well, she turned red according to him, and they left shortly after.
Anyone else have something funny happen with their smartphone in the last couple years? Inappropriate ringtones during an interview, texts being read out loud, sending texts to the wrong person, or even someone borrowing your phone and maybe seeing a website you have viewed that you would of rather kept hidden.
I'm all ears. I love hearing other people being embarrassed
Happy Holidays !
i have sent a few naughty texts to the wrong girl before.. and one time a friend saw a few of my dirty pictures from my girlfriend back in the day

Ha your not the only one...well with the first one at least lol
sent from my sexy HTC Rezound. Bata bum ba bum, Im loving it.
Well I started using go locker shortly after release which has an option to adjust volume while the phone is locked which I use mainly to save me the hassle of unlocking to turn music up or down while driving or at work. Well currently my ringtone is cigaro by system of a down, edited to start right when the lyrics come in.
If you don't know the song you won't understand why this is so embarrassing, but we happened to be at church and something in my pocket turned the volume up full blast and right in the middle of prayer I get a call and by the time I got my captivate out and ignored the call it was to late. My wife and I left immediately and the jokes have ensued ever since then.
If you just listen to the beginning of the song you'll completely understand why after that I disabled the volume feature and haven't been back at that church since. If you are the kind of person who is easily offended by something I highly recommend not to listen to it.
And yes I know this is in the rezound section but I spotted it in the unread tab on the app and couldn't help but share.

Lol funny stuff. I love me some SOAD, and i'm familiar with the song. And right in the middle of prayer, wow that had to suck.
Thanks for sharing. Gotta find an app that changes your ringtone on Sunday to something by Three Days Grace
Yeah it was pretty horrible timing, everyone quiet except the preacher and then bam, and couldn't of been a worse ringtone to have play in the middle of church.
I actually have a few more embarrassing moments but nothing close to that one. SOAD for the win lol, btw I saw a thing online where they are talking about getting back together and doing a new album since the recent tour went so well.

Lmao
Swyped from my Rezound 4G
Girlfriend called me and pissed me off(not my current girlfriend), and I ASSUMED she had hung up the phone since that would have disconnected the call on my end too. Nope, so 15 minutes into me talking **** about her and what she had done with my friend I got a text saying we were through. It was actually a blessing(I use that term loosely because I am not religious) in disguise, but now I make sure I always hit the end call button, lol.

Yea, I cant do anything like that. Her dad is all about smartphones the last couple years. He has a droidx and everytime we go up north to see him, he likes to tinker with my phone.
I have to clean up the phone a bit before the trip. I'm sure there are certain things he just couldnt un-see.
Naughty Fast Food
I randomly happened to tell a friend via text about how I was going to McDonalds for the first time in over a year. I decided to prove it to her by taking a photo of something with a logo on it to text to her....I clicked my gallery app shortcut and a really raunchy porno resumed playing fro where I left off the night before.. The volume was maxed out and there was a little old Mexican woman behind me pretending she didn't see anything. Of course this being my new Rezound I panicked and it took me a good 30 seconds to make it stop.. The 720 screen is pretty nice though.
I LOL'D... Anyway, this should be in the offtopic, so everyone can share their embarrassing moments with their androids...

Not me but my daughter... My grand daughter picked up my daughters phone and followed her into the bathroom.... not realizing that a) she was taking pictures or b) they were auto posted to her Facebook page. When she logged into Facebook almost 3 hours later she found them. Luckily, nothing was really exposed but it could have been. Grand Daughter is 2-1/2 but she really likes the phone and has no problem finding wow wow wubbzy or something like that on YouTube.
lol...I really don't understand why anyone would ever autoupload pics to Facebook...maybe 1% off pics I took would ever get posted.

First, I love my 3vo, not getting sg2 or anything else silly but I was wondering if anyone else has had their callers constantly complain that they couldn't hear them if they were on speakerphone.
Cheers!
Could you please rephrase the question?I wan't to help but your question isn't very clear.
no, people can hear me just fine when I'm on speakerphone.
now on the other hand, I have a heck of a time hearing them, need some volume hack action to get my speaker volume up to par.

Dan,have you downloaded Equalizer from the market place and jacked up the audio? I have and my back speaker is a lot louder than stock..Too loud and the speaker quality is horrible but you can boost it with that app.

Thanks for the tip, but, this puppy will be on it's way back home once my 4G charges back up. There were just too many irritating 'little things' wrong. The lack of a clear plan for root/s-off from HTC just made it unbearable. While the EQ app would help that one minor annoyance there are far too many other things that might be correctable with software--who knows. These were all things my 4G did perfectly.
No we're going to get people hating on those telling how they returned their phone, and then threads about everybody that returned their phone and then threads about people who hate threads about people who returned their phone even though previously they would all post threads saying "so just return your phone", hating on people who posted about returning their phone.
Nvrmind, I'll just start a new thread about it...lol

Hey man its your money and your phone..Do what you think is best for your purchase..Just spreading the tip out there that there is a way to easily boost the audio..I was actually going to return it for that very reason(back speaker too low) But that App(equalizer) did the trick.
It still sucks when it comes to playing music but for movie audio,voice mails and speaker phone its an A+..Wish I had the Evo 4G speaker but I also wish my Evo 4G took 3D Pictures and video..So screw the music,i'll just wear head phones.
Enjoy what ever phone you go to man,have a nice night.

Thanks man, I appreciate the civility. That's becoming increasingly rare around here these days.
So, yeah, I brought it back. It wasn't easy. That screen had gorgeous resolution and accurate color...and I have anticipated this phone for months, chomping at the bit the whole way...but the weak signal finally put me over the tipping point today after losing a few work calls and not being able to get on XDA in the bathroom at work...that in addition to the completely wacky camera antics (2-3 second to snap a pic, green hue on flash, even worse low-light performance), aforementioned low speaker, irritating 16:9 aspect ratio (narrow portrait), some apps not behaving smooth (launchpro!??)...and a slew of even smaller and irritating things.
If they fix the radio via an update and this thing gets unlocked in a reasonable amount of time I'll be back. I think I've had my heart broken by HTC though...I'll probably wait for the SGS2 to be announced and get the NS4G once we get within 30 days of release. The NS4G radio tested nearly the same as my 4G, the 3D didn't fare nearly as well...and since my office at work and my apartment are both in fringe areas where on my 4G I can routinely pull over 1mbps (sometimes 1.5-1.7ish) but are all over the low-end of the map on the 3D--if I can even get a signal--I think it's safe to say that samsung's sucky 3G radios are at the very least marginally better than the 3D's...perhaps even more than that.
Thanks again.
I've gotten tests to check my pc monitors so I googled to find something for an Android phone (Rezound will be my first) and came up with several options, a few apps and some methods without using an app.
Apps I found were:
Dead Pixel Test
Dead Pixel Tester
Dead Pixel Detect
Any recommendations on these or other methods?
Antutu Tester. You can text pixels, battery and touch points I believe.
Ask Xoxigenboy, he actually has a dead pixel and can probably verify which ones work.

on my screen the dead pixel is red. you can't realky see it during the day, but at night it stands out when the background is dark(if you have a dark wallpaper, watching a video)
I'm currently waiting outside a Verizon store for them to open & hopefully they'll be able to see it.
but basically, an easy way to check is to set a really dark background(preferbly just black), set the display to auto & wait till you are somewhere with low light. any red dots and its exchange time.
Did they do the exchange there for you? I've never been able to swap a device right at the store, they always overnight it, so I just call now lol.
Thanks everyone... I'm anxiously awaiting my phone to check it all out.

they told me that since it was purchased elsewhere(best buy mobile) that id have to go there for the exchange.... which I figured, just hoped they'd do it there at verizon. although, since best buy allows an exchange within 30 days I think I am going to hold on to this one a bit longer(then will exchange on like day 29 or 30).

Verizon chick rep told me there were like 5 accidents by the mall today LOL. I shoulda hit on her cause she had huge tits, but I was more interested in my phone LOL. Then some blonde customer was next to me and shes was like omigawd what are you getting. I just looked at her and stared with a blank expression on my face. Considering she was also buying the Rezound which was in my hand.. DERP!
I just met my girlfriend of 8 months parents today (She/they are from Boston). I took them to Granite City for dinner and I didn't think how idiotic of an idea it was until I started driving that direction. I avoid the Mishawaka commercial area like the ****ing plague and I remembered why 45 minutes into my 9 mile drive.

Hey all,
First post here, but I've been lurking xda for years, just never registered.. Lots of great information here and it's the first place I go if I have questions or need to do some research.
Unfortunately, the reason for my registration is because I fear I may have an issue with my brand new Note.
When I have my headphones plugged in and I press something on the Note I get an annoying crackling noise - kinda like when you've got a head cold or sinus infection and your ears pop. It happens after I don't touch my screen for like 3 seconds, and when I activate something (touch a button, screen, scroll, etc), I'll get the pop.
I'm thinking this isn't normal, but want to verify here before I go back to AT&T.
Thanks!
U are correct, its not.
Just a double check, do u have key tones enabled under settings > sounds?
I also suspect a bad unit however and suggest warrantt
Walked into AT&T and was able to reproduce the sound for the guy there. Definitely not normal, and he concurred that it was indeed extra ordinary and quite annoying.
Unfortunately, they do not have any more white ones in stock.

If your lucky they will not only ship out a new one, buy give u some kind of accojnt credit if u play ur cards right
Samething happens when I use the aux jack in my car but works fine with most headphones. Weird

There's been multiple threads on this already. It has something to do with the sound structure. It also affects the music/ phone and notification sounds too.

I walked to the next nearest AT&T store (City Hall, NYC) and they were able to swap my Note for a new one. The popping sound was still there so I did what any other idiot would do.. I walked across the street and purchased a new set of headphones from J&R.
That didn't fix it either, and the volume control on the new headphones don't control the Note. *sigh* Oh well, at least they sound pretty good.
Anyways, I did some more searching as per dakleenupman's post and it I think I'm experiencing the same things others have in the past. I wonder if it's 'fixable' via a firmware update via Samsung or something.
But for now, if I turn off "Audible Selection", the popping noise disappears. A small sacrifice in the grand scheme of things!
I'm soo depressed my 2 year old did something to my Note on friday night and I still have yet to find it. Came in from work placed phone on high dresser went to sleep, woke up on saturday and phone is gone! I just found out that she can climb dresser!! So I'm here thinking damn thats $600 down the drain including my 64gb micro sd!!! I just wanna cry!!!!

Assuming the battery is still alive -- this (along with the standard have you tried calling it) is a brilliant plan.
My guess however is that it's a two year old. It's stuffed somewhere in the house (check the toy box because kids put everything BUT the toys in there).
Down the drain? It's not like you lost it outside
I'm praying that it wasn't placed in the garbage can!!!
That's pretty funny. Hope you find it. I like the install an app from the web store option to find it
My cat occasionally sits directly on top of my phone when alarms go off. It's surprisingly effective at muffling the sound. I've set my phone down on a bed and then forgot about it and couldn't hear it when calling to find it, until I threw the cat off. She hates phones.

With cerberus (assuming the phone was on) you could get GPS location to know for sure. You could even snap a picture from the front or back camera and have it sent to your email. Cerebus is the best app I have on my phone.

If the kid took it, I'm sure the GPS would show the house, but not exactly where in it
I mean if the kid is not old enough to tell you where the phone is then they shouldn't have left the house alone
And why wonder? Just check the trash. It might be dirty but so what?
Have you tried giving your kid some laxatives? Maybe it got eaten.

It's surprising the amount of places a small kid can hide things. I know they don't seem to be smart enough.. but when you find your keys jammed half-way into the floor vent in their room, you have to wonder.
I'm sure I believe this story but...
Tell her to call daddy and pick up your house phone. She'll go get yours to call you.
This reminds me of a similar experience. In my case the remote of the blu-ray player was missing. We founded it after a year, our son have put in our floor-standing tower woofer firing port. I remember shaking the damn thing, but since it has insulation in it i could not hear any rattling. One day i lifted the speaker for whatever reason and the remote fell off of the woofer port.
I know it is not helpful, but felt the need to share the story ... I guess you should look at some unusual places ...
Hello all,
Long term lurker, decided to finally register and just give a few points about my experience for those that are still on the fence about the LG Optimus G.
I personally love this phone, I've had the iPhone for a while moving from the 3g to 3gs to the 4 and handled the 4s plenty (wifes phone) and the iPhone 5 did not impress me much. I won't go into what I felt was lacking in the iPhone but mention my hesitation(s) on coming to android and specifically this phone.
The biggest reason I was hesitant was that the phone came with ICS with a "planned upgrade" in the future. This is a not an issue IMO- if you are thinking of coming from iPhone to android ICS is more than sufficient and you will be more than happy with it. The phone is very snappy and smooth, no hesitation. If you want Jelly bean just to have Jelly bean you can either be patient with it (like i will be) or root your phone so I really think both parties can be satisfied with this issue. The ICS issue is definitely a non issue for me after playing with the phone and seeing how snappy it is.
The screen is great, I get compliments all the time but sunlight visibility is an issue (it's an issue with the iPhone as well) so that is just something to think about if you are out in the sun a lot etc.It's a minor issues for me but can be a bigger problem for others. Going to the issue where it gives the error regarding its inability to brighten any further due to temperature it rarely happens for me-even when it does most of the time it goes to 87% which is still pretty bright. It is a little annoying sometimes that while on the phone you see it dim as the brightness level lowers automatically without you wanting it too. It is what it is.
LTE is great (my fastest speed in Atl area was 57 download 21 upload!!!), my average speeds have been about 20 download 13 upload. I also love google maps and its navigation feature where it literally is a GPS-even better IMO as it shows a picture of your destination on your phone as you arrive (from google street view-it even shows my home as i pull up if i select to give me directions to my place), I thought that was pretty neat and very handy when you head to a restaurant or a friends home etc you haven't been to.
I knew an issue going in would be accessories, and it sucks that many waited for the Otter box to come out but it only fits Sprint. I went ahead and purchased the body glove from the ATT store and I'm pretty happy with it. Thank God I haven't "tested" its protection yet but it seems like it would do well from a fall.
Battery life was pretty bad at first and took time to adjust, especially coming from an iPhone. After numerous full charge and discharge cycles (about 5 days worth) the battery life greatly improved! I use my phone a lot, mainly texting (minimum 40 outgoing texts a day i'd say), maybe 30 minutes of phone calls a day and a lot of browsing/checking my email and it lasts a whole day. I keep my phone on the quad core setting (i rarely go to "eco mode") and its highest brightest setting with gps on and sync feature off and by midnight my phone would be around 35-40%.
I was on gsmarena, phone arena etc religiously seeing if I should pull the trigger on this phone as I was eligible for an upgrade and wanted to get a phone that would last 2 years. I thought about waiting till the next samsung flagship phone comes but that would have been at least 6 months I believe and with ATT it seems I can get an upgrade every 18 or so months so I feel it is best for me to upgrade my line ASAP whenever possible. Bestbuy had the phone at 99 bucks thanksgiving week and that was when I pulled the trigger.
Overall I'm very very happy with my phone :good: and my first android experience on a phone (i have a tablet)
For those that are hesitant like i was, you will not be disappointed.
A side note for those that may be able to answer two questions for me: can I put my contacts facebook profile pic as their pic in my contacts? I have everything synced to "on" from my sync settings on my system settings to my contacts to facebook saying to sync but it only loads a couple to my contacts (about 5%)
Also for group messages I send out, can I receive texts in that same group message I sent?
Welcome to Android. Enjoy

Search the play store for an app called "haxsync." It'll do what you want regarding contact pictures.
As for group messages, I don't use those so I cannot comment.

Lol what... He wrote a very long general post and tagged two small questions to the end. This isn't a question thread is perfectly acceptable where it he posted it.
That said uninstall Facebook clear contact data. Give Google a couple minutes to do is thing after manually syncing. Then reinstall Facebook manually create the account in accounts and sync and then sync it and your contact pictures should update just fine.
To answer your question about group text messages (a la iPhone,) the stock Android Messages app doesn't do that. However, Go SMS Pro or Handcent are two SMS/MMS replacement apps and work great. I use Go SMS Pro and there's an option to enable the group texting/MMSing.
That's one great example of the power of Android... Don't like a stock app? Replace it!

lol tough crowd! Didn't think bout putting the questions in Q n A at the time. Post was meant to be geared towards those still thinking bout the LG. Thanks to those that answered.
Cheers
