Change it to "Ding Dong" then. Oh wait, The Witch is Dead, isn't she............

I was laughing personally. Either way, you DO know you can change that right? I mean, just HOW MANY smart phones have you owned to NOT know you can change that?

If you choose your phone based on default alarm sound I feel sorry for you, now go troll somewhere else.

I am almost tempted to keep the default tone for a day or two just to piss off my wife...I'm just not sure if it would piss me off even more.

That's not even the default alarm on the T-Mobile variant.

Dude you can't even tolerate a joke

I actually use this as my alarm. It works. I get the ef up as fast as i can, so no one can hear it or make fun of me.

Anything that motivates you you get up and turn it off is doing it's job.

If you have no suggestion to help OP with sound quality....get the hell out of the thread.
OP....there is a setting in call setting (I believe) for hard of hearing that ups the volume significantly although I don't know if it reduces muffling at the other end.
Try hard resetting of not. Then definitely keep demanding another one til it works.

Tell her you're not tracking her texts, the guy she's texting keeps forwarding them to you and you'd like him to stop.
Then trade her in for a newer model with the latest updates.

either way, it's not good.
So many ignorant and sexist assumptions here, it's disgusting. Some of you guys are downright pathetic.
OP, talk it out with your girlfriend, if she's genuinely paranoid, figure out the root of the paranoia, and explain to her carefully how there is nothing you can "monitor", and doing so is illegal anyway.
Just because someone is paranoid about privacy doesn't mean they have something to hide, especially when it could be that the person in question is new to the idea of a smartphone (especially a smartphone that powerful and versatile).
Unless her worries are truly causing friction in your relationship, if she is still paranoid, just let it go.

I'm sorry to hear that, but that doesn't quite change what I said before; there's no need to assume every woman that is worried about privacy is a whore. That's just disgusting sexism, regardless of whether or not one thinks it's always true.
Again, sorry to hear that, I hope you find someone else you can trust better.

I'm a douche bag. Usually the first person to start accusing is the guilty one. Anyway, XDA is not match.com. The only way you can legally monitor her text messages is if you pay the bill. Then you can get all the texts forwarded to you via email, Sprint will go back 90 days.

Calling 911

Since when does calling 911 start a 5 minute data shutdown? This a new ics feature? I had to call in a prius playing chicken with my tractor trailer on interstate. After the call I get notification saying data is off with a timer in emergency mode. I use 911 often as I'm always calling in drunks, wrecks, fires etc. Never seen this before on android

What is the purpose of the timeout? Just to make sure the phone is not being used in case they need to call you back for some reason?

The possible banning? No, it's already starting.
This is not really that big of a deal It's definitely some b.s. buy not that big of a deal. T-Mobile is talking about ending their sales of subsidized phones Verizon doesn't really lock their phones most cdma companies will give you the spc. But you still have to figure out how to get your phone on the other company. At&t well they and android forums both suck Honestly this whole thing sucks but you me and everyone should boycott by not buying locked phones from carriers
I thought flashing from Sprint to MetroPCS was already illegal...
It will be interesting to see where this leads...
At the end of the day it's all about the carriers making money. I dont see this stooping me from unlocking phones at all. Once I buy the phone, its my property to do with as I please.

Short answer is no. Long answer is that sprint verizon and some phone flashing companies want you to think that. Carriers want you to think that so that you don't take your phone and run off to another phone company with it. Phone flashing companies want you to think that so that the info isn't spread around as much how to do it. That sounds crazy but there is alot of money to be made in flashing phones especially two years ago when companies were charging 120 dollars to flash an evo to metro and well you know how much Verizon and sprint (especially) makes off you

Ok, I'll bite. I haven't looked at the new proposed legislation, but if it's anything like the 90s version -- as far as the types of weapons that would be banned -- Yes, I'm for it. Do I think it will solve all of our gun-related issues? No way, not even close. But it's a small step in the right direction IMO. It's not your 2nd Amendment right to own some of these crazy assault weapons; they're completely unnecessary. I also support banning high-capacity magazines.

Yeah I saw it last night on Comedy Central. I think they're pushing the whole index finger back button thing too hard though. I actually like the buttons, but the ad campaign feels gimicky. I guess their hand was forced by Samsung and people losing their **** over holding their finger over the screen and waving away home screens. I guess that's what gets the masses excited though so what can you do. It gets under my skin a bit though.

Totally agree. I rarely use the power button or the volume buttons.
Lol, me too. I freaked out, went to work the next morning and told everybody that this new phone I got, that I'd shown everybody the day before, had a commercial on NFL network! They couldn't have cared less. They cared about as much as they had the day before when I showed off the phone. Like when I show off all my phones. Sad me. This is the only place where I can talk about my hobby and even here it's mostly negative. But not in this thread! Found someone who was as excited as I was!

I'm not sure about you guys, but I feel like the majority of commercials have been aired during NFL network time (ABC, CBS, Etc..) slots. Does that say something about who they are trying to market this phone to? Men?! haha. But who knows, maybe I only see the commercials during NFL games because that's about all I watch on Television right now.
