Had a ride in the ambulance to the emergency room after wrecking my new Kawasaki Teryx. Was on dirt road and a truck came at me head on and to avoid him involved me hitting the bank head on. I woke up in the ditch and felt OK except for what I thought was a small cut on my knee.
Well, the cut turned out to not be small and when I looked finally I could see my whole frigging knee cap
Was a tad freaked but got some morphine in the ambulance. Anyway, sorry off topic but I'm bored and hurting and wanted some of you to know.

Ps the Kawasaki will only go on reverse now lol

Damn know what your going through bud too well. laid down my yamaha R1 when i was in high school late night avoiding a car that weaved in my lane and I s##t you not I woke up sitting ON my bike at the end. rode home still in shock not knowing really wtf happened b/c the driver didn't stop. on way home realized i had wrecked since visor was flapping and whole front of bike was bouncing since bracket was broke, and once home noticed jeans were torn up and hands scraped.(THANK GOD for my JACKET!!) saved me from so much rash. could straight see my tendon when i looked at my knee.
funny story though while cleaning up some before i looked at my knee and realized my ish was f'd up i dropped a towel on ground and picking it up my clavicle popped out and adrenaline filled shock self popped it back in just simply rolling my shoulder back. Felt like cracking your knuckles i s##t u not, no worse at all. lol
get the parents up(mom head ER nurse at Duke at time) take the trip to the ER and shock is wearing off and shoulder is freaking on FIRE then. keep telling nurse it f'ing hurts and she keeps trying to tell me my wrist is broken. So me being the knowitall HS kid I waved my wrist back and forth at her saying no its not, my shoulder is f'd up. (shoulder was fine at that point. as it was in place perfect.)
Funny how the absolute worst pain you can think of can just not exist with the aid of adrenaline and shock.
Well sounds like you didn't get much rash bud which is good, nor break anything!
Glad you came through it bud! Always could be much worse.
Ouch. Don't worry that morphine will male everything better I promise
That's a f-ed up story sgt. Kinda like the time I rolled my car 4 times on the freeway. And didn't wake up till 3 days after the accident :-( it was harsh nd hope it never happens again.

Hope that you get better soon. I feel for you, when I wrecked my motorcycle, I fractured the fibula and tibia in my leg.
Unfortunately, not everyone pays close enough to the road to make it safe for bike riders.

I just got my car yesterday made a month. 2005 Impala it had a problem when I got it, the car shakes when I hit 50mph or over. I took it to the dealership and they told me all it needed was a speed balance and it's been working ever since until today. I was on 75 doing about 60mph in the last lane to the left. All of a sudden my car start with the shakes again. I got kind of nervous cause I was going around a bend so I started holding the wheel with two hands. It was still shaking so I tried to slow down but the steering wheel started to go towards the left I tried to hold it steady and pump the brake to slow down but all of a sudden the car started to slide and I tried to avoid sliding into traffic to the right. I tried to lean into the wall and the car made a loud sound I thought the tire popped and all of a sudden I smacked the left wall and slid to the other side of the freeway and hit that wall and came to a stop. No air bags deployed my OG Evo was in my pocket and the Evo 3D was on the sprint universal dock in the middle of the car right above the radio. When things cleared up my 3D was up against my cracked up windshield I thought the glass would have been cracked it only had the Sprint hard snap on case and the phone was find it just turned off and took a while to cut on. The car dock holster for the phone came completely off and was on the floor in the passenger side of the car on the floor. The car is totaled I'm pretty much glad I'm okay. The ambulance guys were like how are you okay all the tires were balled and the engine dropped and none of my airbags deployed. He said looks like I was sold a BOLD car he asked what insurance I have told him Progressive full coverage and he said I would sue cause the car look like its a lemon sale or some term with lemon in it that they sold me. The police came looked at the tired and said they were all the way down to the bridge that how ball they were he told me to file a law sue to GM for the airbag as for the tires the dealership.
Pictures up in a few minutes. Have to post them from my OG Evo
Damn, that's intense. Glad to hear you're alright. As far as the airbag issue, I bet the stealership did something to them, not GM.
omfg dood! glad you survived!
How the heck do u buy a car without A) test driving it both at low and high speeds, and B) not look at what condition the tires were in.... Your buying used, and I'm afraid to say both you and the dealership should of caught it. But I'm glad you're safe.

Yea man I appreciate it. I was so worried I didn't know what to think I just didn't want to slide into traffic. If I didn't have on a seat belt I wouldn't be here right now. It could be but I'm definitely going to try and fight it man I got a car note on that car for 15,000+ and it's totaled due to a problem I told them about and on top of that I hit two walls and dragged against one of them and the neither of the airbags came out.

I did a low speed test drive like around the blocks a few times but not a high speed after I got the car I got on the freeway and noticed it took the car back and told them about it. That's when they told me to get a speed balance. After that it was okay until today.(Edited) but I don't know much about cars I should have researched it. Thanks I appreciate it

Lemme tell ya about yesterday at the river standing on the dock drinking a beer and watching fireworks. My brother-in-law thought it would be SO funny if I took a little night dip in the marina and gave my slightly intoxicated self a nudge in that direction...yup. I actually thought it was hilarious when I climbed out and was laughing while popping another Bud. But wait, yep, my phone is making some strange noise in my pocket...sounds a bit like its choking! Fished it out, it flickered, then died. Than I punched him in the mouth. No REALLY. Spent today babying it and drying it out and it works except that there is river water in what looks like 3 different layers of the screen. Anyway, he's paying the deductible and my new one is on the way. Ugh, it's killed me to even look at it all day. My girlfriends been very happy and I haven't hit F5 even once in the root threads so I guess thats a plus. Just wanted to share my misery with some like-minded peeps, seems like everyone I know just doesn't understand...

Lost cause, you're talking about a dude that refreshes by hitting F5.
Sorry to hear of the unfortunateness. Good to hear your getting another courtesy of brother-in-law.
The EVO line of phones seem to be a fairly robust lot. I left my table at a bar to fetch another drink and return to find my 4G in a pool of spilt vodka/sprite. It didnt turn on a first but once I took it apart (completely) and dried it out, it started it up fine. It also had turned (3) moisture indicators pink.
1. One indicator on the battery
2. Second in the battery bay
3. The third on another board inside the phone
Luckily it didnt have any water on the inside screen.
A friend has a 3D and spilled a Taco Bell sweet tea on it. Sticky stuff. Still works...

If you're in KY near water then there's a good chance I'm close enough to come get 3d video of you punching him again, or maybe asking to see his phone then throwing him in for a swim.
That does suck man. I almost had to go back to a bb curve for a few days when I broke my evo, the horror!

I've found myself in that situation far too often, I love to go fishing, and sometimes forget I have a phone in my pocket. Well I've gotten into the habit of when I'm gonna be at or near water for awhile I slip my phone in a ziplock in my pocket. lol

i had a bricked mt3g with a vodafone splash screen and went for an exchange from tmobile and didnt wanted them to know that it is bricked by the vodafone spash screen. i took a jug of water and poured into the phone carefully so it didnt mess the indicators and then plugged it in and booted, still worked, then i microwaved it for a few seconds until there were some sparks, took it out again booted, idk what htc puts in their phones but they do survive the utter torchure. I ended up disconnecting a wire on mt3g on the inside so it would short out and didnt boot and finally got an exchange. for my n1 it fell off from 8 feet just a dent, fell off 3 floors onto trampoline nothing, fell off 1 floor another dent, fell of 2 floors on its edge broken screen ( no broken glass just screen ) its survived too much torchure.

I had the same thing on the mytouch, I just mailed it back to them with the voda splash screen and prepared to play dumb if it was ever brought up. They never asked any questions.
since ur already getting a new one. Try putting that one in a bowl of Dry Rice. Might as well see if the rice sucks the water up and you have an extra 3D its worked for me on some phones.

Since the device is so new... the chances of him getting a brand new one is very high... $100 deductible may just send him a brand new phone.
Yeah, I'm hoping the $100 gets a brand new one sent to me. I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow and see. As far as the rice goes, I let it sit in rice for about 24 hours and though the phone is dry, there are still the three different layers of water inside the screen. One layer of water banding, one layer of large droplets, and another layer of banding running the opposite direction. Really strange to look at...
@event- apologies to you, I'm usually a little more grown-up than the name-calling. Was just in a foul mood last night over this. I do run a firefox addon to auto-refresh xda.
There are not 3 layers of water in your phone, just one, it's a 3D phone remember, it's a feature.
Anyway sorry to hear about killing one already, glad you are getting another.

Can we document the Light Bleed fix?
Seriously this reminds me of the old (really dating myself here) MFM and RLL Hard Drives. About the size of a Belgium Block Brick, and nearly as heavy. We would get ones in that the platters waarped and were unreadable. The fix? Drop them straight down, onto a carpeted cement floor. It would make a huge "WONK" sound, and at least half the time, the platters would now be aligned enough to back the sucker up. All 5 or 10 MEGABYTE of it. Imagine, you could fit an ENTIRE MP3 song on those suckers (if the Bitrate was kept low.)
Thanks for the fond memories. And super good luck the Prime survived it. There was a guy who posted in the first week these were shipping at the end of December who said his Prime fell off a stack of towels 2 feet onto a carpeted floor, and his screen went dark. It was running, just no display. That should help indicate further how lucky this. Turned out for you.
Not one scratch on the Gorrila Glass? Have you inspected it closely? That part is truly amazing.

Hey all,
So I've had my Note for like 5 days now, and I have nothing to complain about. If there was one thing to complain about it would be that It's hard to pull my phone out of my pocket while driving to answer a call... but I really don't care because I love the phone size whole heartedly. But anyway, last night I went to the bar with my Note. I could feel the people behind me staring at my phone as I used it haha. I was pondering on whether I should have even taken it in before entering, because I'm the person in the bar thats always dancing like I'm in a club, and I was worried about it being in my pocket. Well the bar I went to, which is very popular and gets very crowded, plays loud loud music, so it's almost impossible to not dance.
The note faired well in my pocket with slight dancing, and also sparked a couple conversations with people surprised by me pulling it out to answer my phone. But tonight I will probably be taking it to a club where dancing will be key. Now since I am the type that never leaves without my phone, I will probably be bringing it along, however, I feel that this time it will probably get in my way. Also I doubt it will spark as many conversations at a club, but suspect I will have just as many strangers staring at me as I go to use it.
I couldn't find a single shirt I owned that would fit the note in its pocket haha, and I looked as I figured it would probably be easier to move with the Note stored in my shirt.
Let me know any of y'alls stories about bar or club ventures with the Note. Any suggestions for tonight when I go to the club?

It has definitely changed the social situation around me when I pull out this phone. I have to wonder if the Streak users experienced the same?
I wouldn't say that it is helping me to influence people or make friends, but I can feel the reaction around me when I whip out the S-Pen and go to work
So far, only one iPhone user tried to say something, but after watching me demonstrate the capabilities (Siri? HAH!) and show off the 4G LTE goodness, they shut up and I haven't heard a peep from them since.
A few of my Android friends are looking into getting one, but as far as I can tell I am the only one around this podunk town with one. I don't imagine it will take very long to change that!
I just recently passed the 1 year anniversary mark of purchasing my Streak. Throughout different environments and scenarios, I usually always got some kind of stares from people in public.
In like the club/lounge/bar type of settings, if I was on the dance floor or in some crowded space, and happened to take out the Streak for any reason, oftentimes a stranger would tap me and vaguely talk to me about that.
There were a few times in which I felt a little clumsy with a lot of people crowding around me to take a look.
I even had people ask me why I was carrying only a tablet and not a phone instead. Even with that small ear piece at top, some of them still believed you couldn't make traditional phone calls with it.
Haha a quite good looking female came up to me at the bar last night. She said she was wandering what phone i had and she was "watching" me use it lol. So i showed her a fast S pen demo. I didn't chit chat too long as i was with my gf but she didn't seem to care. This phone is seriously a conversation piece when i whip it out. Putting iphone users to shame daily

Well, it sure is handy when taking a ladies phone number. Just whip out the pen and hand it to her. Impressive.
Of course, the other side of the coin. Go to the club with this baby in a holster and see how fast they run from you. lol
I go to a lot of Raves and nightclubs and it's done fine in a case. I wouldn't dance with it in my pocket though
Every dress shirt I have, the note fits into. It goes in my back pocket when I wear jeans.
If you rather, in the car, use bluetooth. or get a mount so you can see the display. Works for me.
This phone is perfect for me, as I had a 7" SG Tablet.
Yes the Streak gets the same attention. Not just in bars it clubs it anywhere it comes out. Looking into the note as my next phone but not quiet ready yet.

that is too damn funny!!!!
My Note fits perfectly in all of my pants pockets. Haven't had a problem, or even noticed it in my pocket, while dancing in bars/clubs. Also, never had a stranger ask about it, though.

I've had people at the club see it sticking out of my pocket and ask me about it one of the best conversation starting phones I have had
I was getting a haircut, sitting, i showed the lady how i want my hair to look like. So i pulled out my Note from my pocket and showed it to her. SHe responded, "That big huh?" I said, "Yeah that big" with an innuendo. well shampoo time came..i dont know if it was intentional but she brushed her nice tits on my face twice.....hmmmmm
my response to the size is."You know us Brotha's like em Big and White" get a hell-of-a laugh outta that one.
Someone came along and gave this thread one star. I gave it five, so it's at 3. Let's get this voted up to where it belongs!
How do i turn this off?

I think you live in here om4, ha
Well out of work, out of a car, right now I need something to occupy my time. Engine I ordered from lkq was bad and the person I ordered from isn't returning my calls so I'm now slowly rebuilding the engine that burned up and doing side jobs to help pay the bills. If I had nothing to do I think I'd go stir crazy
That sucks, if you were near Denver I would help rebuild it. I love wrenchin. My wife and daughter are out of town so I'm always here too.
It's all good, father is a mechanic, owns his own place, only one lift though so it took awhile before I could rack up the car and pull the engine. It's going slowly but at least its going
That's sweet, ha, we totally hijacked the thread. Good luck with the engine.
