I just wanted to take a moment in between our tech obsession to remember the people who were lost on 9/11/01 ..growing up in NY this day means alot to me and makes me want to give thanks to the nypd and nyfd, many who were lost attempting to save others. Also to the service men who continue to protect our freedom. You are all heros

I still can't believe those *****es would do something so horrific to not only our country but to human life in general.
I've been watching all of these 9/11 documentaries the whole week, it breaks my heart to know so many innocent people lost their lives that day. 2200+ innocent people man.
My heart goes out to all of the families that lost loved ones.
Nice thread, let's remember all the fallen heroes and family members that were lost on that day. May god watch over the fallen ones and their family's.

It was horrible ..I was watching from Staten island while the towers collapsed and destroyed Manhattan. I can barely stand to watch the documentaries since they make me cry like a school girl ..the destruction was so complete and the skyline will never be the same. But during this time it also showed the resolve if people ...while people were trying to run across the Brooklyn bridge other were running towards the towers to assist in anyway they could. It is burned into my brain forever ..the smell the dust the desperate people searching for loved ones .. I have since left NY but when you go back you still expect to see the towers there dominating the skyline

Agreed. Very sad and my thoughts and prayers go out to all the family's who lost love ones on that day.
While living in NY at the time it happened, I can tell you I have never seen people come together as one as they did at that time. It didn't matter if you were black, white, chinese, jewish, mexican, etc, at that point in time you were just an American and nothing else mattered!
I wish we could live like that every day and not need such a tragedy to bring people together for a short period of time.
Yea. .ppl did come together that day ..comforting complete strangers. Picking them up off the ground while trying to escape falling debris and the dust cloud that engulfed everything ..it was unbelievable

America is full of spirit today. I love it.
I remember I was sitting on social studies class in high school. I had just bought my two way pager (motorola time port p935) the day before, and I got an alert while I was in class saying that two towers had just been struck by planes. I tried several times to tell my teacher to turn on the tv. He kept askin me "why". I couldn't tell him how I knew, because he would have took my two way. About 5 minutes later, the teacher from the next class came in and told him to turn on the tv. That's when I first saw it.
I'll never forget that moment. I'm not a person to cry much. But I did that when I saw it.
Amen to that, I will never for get that day. I was in school when they were hit and remember watching the news after the first one struck. Then my mom came and got about a half hour after the second hit. God bless all.
Yes. That is a day I will always remember. God bless the USA!

My cousin crystal worked in tower 2 back then...as fate would have it she had to go to her other office for a meeting which was a half a block away ..to make a Long story short, she lost all if her Co workers that day ..I'm am lucky that I didn't lose anyone close that day ..but if your a new Yorker it's. Almost impossible to not know someone who was lost ..

Wish there was something that could do. My heart goes out to all innocent lives lost, by our known two legged heroes, and our less appreciated four legged heroes.

Damn, I thought someone was just mocking the nonexistent news of the iphone5 yesterday till I checked the news. RIP Steve, you have contributed to what we call technology these days.
Without Steve Jobs and the iPhone, Android doesn't exist as the platform I so enjoy. Gotta respect the man for single handedly catapulting the smartphone market into its current absurd orbit.
A very large portion of the technology we use today was directly or indirectly influenced by Steve Jobs. I'm not a big fan of his attitude toward the open software community, but no one can deny the great job he did with apple or deny how innovative he has always been.
Plus when I think of his work ethics, I wish I could be half as productive as he was.

I feel sorry for the loss of him, always sucks to hear about ANYONE passing away. I do think that home and CRAPPLE did catapult the smartphone industry. But I also wonder if yesterday after the iCrap 4s announcement and ALL the bad remarks from believe it or not APPLE FANBOYS on apple sites talking about what a dissapointment of the 4s news and no 5 news was to them. Maybe Steve Jobs read alot of those articles and the comments that followed and just gave up and wanted to finally rest in peace. I am not trying to pole fun at this at all so forgive me if it seems that way, just noting what I read yesterday and then the news about SJ's today. May he rest in peace.

All kidding aside, it is sad to see a man who played such an integral part of the rise of the digital age pass. May he rest in peace.
Very sad indeed, he did great things and will be surely missed
Two dissapointing days in a row for Apple fans and technology fans all around. First the announcement yesterday of the iphone 4s and now this. To think of all that money he had, money cant buy you life.
RIP Steve Jobs
As much as I hated his arrogance, I will miss him.
I know its not a question, but would like to just say thanks to everyone in this misfit forum for making our phone a better device. Just shows what can happen when people work together. I know I've learned alot about android in the last 10 months & thank you guys for all your help along the way. Let's hope the New Year brings us new possibilities for this misfit of a phone....THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE..MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!
This happens to be my very first post on XDA. I'm one of those silent followers, reading, re-reading, scratching my head, pulling my hair, but smiling in the end bc of you Devs. I went back to stock last night to flash 2.3.5 and it kept saying error "build.prop & verification blah blah". I'm freaking out. Since I'm on vacation, I tether my phone for internet (throttled, of course, bc I've been downloading as much as a middle school boy with the parents out). I spend forever loading pages, too stubborn to ask a question and too afraid of the "dude, have you ever heard of the search feature?" Yes, mister, I have read about that feature. But I deleted it and need you to send me a link So, it's Christmas Eve and I'm sitting in a Chinese restaurant enveloped in a sea of S. Florida Jews that my sister loves to talk with every year. We're the only Catholics in the room, but she feels right at home. Idk. It may have been Moses working, but I realized I was on 2.3.3. Huzzah! As soon as we got back I immediately satiated my flash fix. Thanks Ace for the nandroid. X-mas came early. Thanks everyone for your help. I've learned so much for my first smart phone bc of XDA and y'all. I really fear ppl are going to be moving on soon. I fear that a lot. I don't know how ppl can go through phones like it's an accessory. I got my phone on August 6th and am sticking with this to at least my 2 year update. Don't worry. I foresee our unlock is near.
Sorry for the long post, if you made it this far. My next ones won't be this bad.
Big thanks to DEVS and...Ashlepedia. I categorize you, Ash, with the Devs bc of the amount of work you put in to this forum. I rooted around the same time you did and it's been great watching how much you've learned. I'll get whatever phone you get next.

Received this text this morning from wifey (see screenshot)
For the first night in forever, i didn't touch my actual computer ... and sat on the couch with my wife. Which was fine, since i had my TFP with me to crush any withdrawals i might have.
Now as a different note, she wants to "talk about life" now that she see's i can sit on the couch. Any married people out there know wtf that means, and what i should prepare for???
Never thought the TFP would change my life THAT MUCH!
It's hard to tell, it seems like she might be about to hit you with something. Whenever they say lets talk thats trouble, talking should be natural not told to do so.
I'm curious how you go "in" your computer.
Maybe she wants a baby?
Dude at least you can use your prime, my wife always wants to steal it to play AngryBirds/Where's my water...
In my experience, usually women just want to spend time with you when they wanna "talk about life". Just give her your full attention, imho thats more important then what you actually talk about^^ If she's a talker you ask "so how are you" and listen and nod and sometimes paraphrase what she just said. If she's a listener well I guess you just tell her the imba stuff you can do with your prime
Cheers mate!

BTW im usually in my own chair using my laptop, since she is using my prime ... and dont talk much while watching tv shows.
finally i wanted to use my prime so i sat on the couch next to her ... and this is what i get. Now i have to "talk" crap!! !
lol haha
Uh Oh!
My ex-wife started our last conversation as a married couple with that line.
Just kidding. We actually spoke quite a bit, right up to the divorce.
I was impossible to live with! I'm sure your wifey just wants to spend more time with you.
Man you guys makes me not wanna get married lol. My gf gets mad when I'm always on my tablet. I'm gonna be SOL if shes already mad at that now.

It's about time, balance your free time between her and your hobbies, but just give her more time, you'll avoid any issues by following this advice.
Women are funny that way. It's not necessarily what you're doing with them, but that you're just in the same room. Mine's the same way: before, I'd do my early evening browsing, RSS catchup, and such on my desktop or notebook, but not usually in the same room where she's cooking dinner.
Now that I have the Prime (although to be precise it actually started with the original Transformer), I can do exactly the same stuff, but sit in the same room with her. And she's happier.
Go figure.

So now you ignore her with the tablet every night rather than ignoring her in a different room?

Agreed cloud5.
Rsarno, I think you should dedicate time everyday AWAY from your prime/PC to talk about her day (and yours). Let me know how that goes.
The problem is now she'll expect you on the couch every night. Long gone are the nights of reddit, wow or SWTOR. You are now available. If she wants to talk about having a baby. Kiss the rest of your life goodbye. Those long sessions of doing anything you want...gone. Your life now revolves around a small devil that bursts forth from your wifes once attractive area...now it's only seen as a baby maker and is no longer sexy.
Yeah...welcome to my world buddy.

Surely you know by now when the Wife says we gotta Talk it actually means ...You're gonna sit & listen !!!!
Darn I hope "she who must be obeyed" don't read this LMAO
My wife is kind of going the other way, let me explain.
I am 41 y.o, always been a gamer. My wife is 36, doesn't really understand hard core gaming and the time it takes to get decent at it. She would always give me **** about how much time I was playing games instead of hanging out with her. We have 2 kids 5 and 8.
So last summer/fall I helped coach my son in football and the wife and I became friends with this group of people (coaches and wives). The coaches started talking about MW3 and how much fun it is to play.
Fast forward to about a week ago, I come home and see MW3 sitting on the couch, I asked "Did you buy this?", she says yes. In the back of my head I am like no way, she hates this stuff. I set it up for her to play, I wanted her to get a feel of how the game plays. She comes up from playing, eyes huge like someone thats been on a 2 day bender. The first thing she says to me is "This is like crack, so fun!!!"
I looked at her and said, now you know why I would disappear for hours on end playing against my friends. She looked at me kind of sad face and said "sorry, if only I had known how fun it was and to play and talk to friends no matter where they are, I would've done this a long time ago."
Needless to say, it is never too late to try something.
It's over dude.
RUN!!!!

These kind of tragedies should remind us of more important things in life. We shouldn't dwell on the past, but it puts things in perspective. Not getting the latest update from Google is a small thing compared to major world events. I would like to thank all those who serve our country and keep us safe. 9/11 was the worst day for our country that has happened in my lifetime.

On September 11, 2001 I was in the Pentagon, around the corner and down the hall from the point of impact. I had just helped a lady find an office in that section, and she was killed there less than 10 minutes later.
I can't begin to talk about the rest of that week, but I had to burn my uniform and boots after because they were contaminated.
I am still in the Pentagon, although I am now a civilian. I still have a graphic with photographs of the people who died here that day (minus the terrorists) in my office. I look at that graphic every day.
I will never forget.

I was a freshman in hs. In the shower at the time when first plane hit. My dad came pounding on the door "we've been attacked!" Was late goin to school cause I was glued to tv. In every class the news was on, no one did anything that day. No one even went out of their rooms for break or lunch. We all stayed in watching the events fold. And to this day I especially acknowledge every one in the military as I work a lot in different bases as a civilian contractor. It's especially hard at places like the navy medical center in san Diego. The ones in wheel chairs with half their bodies missing from ied's. I make it a point to stop and thank them for their service. Everyone in our office now does it every time no matter where we work. And I want to say thank you for your courage and honor you bestowed to this country on Sept 11th and on to anyone here that I can't personally shake hands with.
