Using the old Prince adage, "How many birthdays have you had? One! You continue to count birthdays your mind gives up, your body deteriorates. This is the trick of time!" However my oldest is 34, I have seven grandchildren among three adult offspring. And I don't know ANYBODY personally who roots and ROMs their phones or tablets. This out of a bureau of hundreds of personnel 95% of whom carry smart phones, family and friends. I can still outbench press all but a few at the gym and they are much bigger than I am naturally. I'm sure one day that "number" will catch up to me but I'm not counting and when it does then oh well. :). Off to go see a concert tonight!

Johnny Gill Nice Concert! Love the camera on this phone. It was unbelievable the number of S3s evident tonight. If there were any iPhones out there I didn't see any and thats not fanboy talk it's the honest to goodness truth. Samsung must be making a fortune.

This entire thread reminds me of the old school AOL Chat rooms waaay back in the day. About to be 23 but still act like a 12 year old. :P

I also wonder if this thread will turn into the one over on the X2 portal that's almost 6,000 replies long right now. Started off as a complaint thread to Motorola, ended up being a huge chat among the members.

17, touching on 18 (woohoo! legalness!) been rooting since the G1 days, now I have a G2 (waiting on a few more checks to get a Note II & maybe a Nexus 4) . I've rooted about 8-10 G2 , i go through them so fast. i also open apks and change the look of apps when i feel the need. probably gonna learn top write my own apps eventually, or cook up my own ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlank:
50 years old here, been rooting since og DROID came out. I picked it up on release day. Now I'm not happy till my phone is rooted and a custom rom is installed. No one I know roots their phones, not even the youngsters I work with at my restaurant!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ULEWZ:
My wife saw this thread and was amazed at the old timers that root. She figures they were into ham radio like I was when they were younger and just evolved to cell phones. Much easier to use without the big ass antennas. :cyclops:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
This thread got a lot bigger than I thought it would when I posted it. It's great to see all the older members we have. I also seem to do more modding of my phone than a lot of the kids I know. Part of it could be techies of my generation were sort of forced to do a lot of customizing to get something really useful. For instance I rigged my Apple ][ to accept a massive hard drive instead of having to rely on only the 4 floppies I had managed to install (it was only suppose to recognize two). It was 10 MB (yes MB not GB) and that was an infinite amount of storage in those days. I also had to write a good many of the programs I used since there was very little available for purchase.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aburgthing:
Bingo, if you wanted a decent PC in the early days of mass adoption, you built it. It's so funny thinking back to those days when if you knew ANYTHING about computers, you became technical support for your family, co-workers, friends and anybody else who was finally convinced to buy a PC. My wife used to yell at me all the time because I did it for free but I loved doing it and never charged anybody anything unless I had to buy parts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Norwester:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nh97103:
18 here. Been coming here for about two years since I got my first smartphone, the Droid 2 Global. I plan to get the S3 very soon though. Super excited! Nice to know there are older people out there that aren't so tech-illiterate.. The rest of family is pretty hopeless.. Haha! Always coming to me with simple questions, not that I really mind. The most recent question was half an hour ago when my Grandma called on her Droid 4, asking how to tell what her email address was. Gotta love family. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stran93r:
21 here. I've been tinkering with computers and whatnot for as long as I can remember. I took a break from tech for a while but ever since I received my S3 for my birthday I've had new life breathed into my passion for technology. I don't plan on taking any more breaks from my passion and hopefully I'll be the old guy doing all sorts of stuff with the technology available at the time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stingfeelgood:
31 here. my mind is stuck in my teen years when I re-built an old IBM PC-XT in "Computer Technology" class. We got to keep it if we passed the final exam.. CGA, 10MB HD, 4.77 Mhz processor and EIGHT expansion slots. So I got my first computer in 1995 that was actually built in 1983 LOL. I never have cutting edge technology because I dont have the funds to fund my hobby so I am always playing around with older stuff. However, I do have a Nexus 7 and now the S3. :) Im getting married in 6 months and Im trying to secure a man-cave-ish area in the basement to tinker with my accumulated gadgets. No matter how old I am, or how young I may feel, I just enjoy being a geek. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Lol, you just made me feel young at age 39. I still look back at a childhood that included many visits to Dad's office to see the reel to reels and Burroughs machines and am amazed that I never became a programmer. Smart phone hacking has allowed me to learn a little of what I never learned in school.

Thanks for this thread. I had a nice chuckle on a cold dreary day in the great white north.

Edit: Trying to get my Dad involved in the community. He might then be the oldest at almost 69. Also, not quite the great white north as it is Michigan and only a few flakes falling.

When I was 14 I started jail breaking iphones and ipod touches for myself and friends (actually made a good amount of money haha)

Then I got a Droid 1 and found the Droid forums. Rooted my D1 the day I got it and never looked back! After 2 years of having my D1 I moved to xda with my SG3 and am loving it

Im 28 and jobless right now, but I sure how you older guys in IT have job security. I hate the idea of older guys in IT getting replaced by younger ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ULEWZ:
Oddly enough, I have a masters degree in Information Systems, but have been in engineering since 1979. I started my masters degree during the dot.com bulge (wanted to get in on the big bucks), but it crashed in the middle of my program.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
And, I hate the idea of young IT folks not seeing many opportunities for full-time, livable jobs with good possibilities for upward mobility.

Still, it's not all wine and roses at this level: I'm now at 23+ years in the same IT company and lost my pension not long ago - missed the cutoff date by almost a year. Even worse, a number of peers saw their jobs move elsewhere and that trend has only increased year-to-year.

Upper management received salary increases and more bonuses, though . . . so, there's that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
Sorry you're jobless at the moment. I was fortunate to always have multiple offers anytime I wanted to switch jobs. It helps to have a Master's in EE with computer minors, credentials in hardware, programming, GIS, QA, etc. However the best thing was being assigned to a project no one else really wanted my first year of work that required a TS clearance. Ended up with many other clearances over the years most above TS which really means there is always work available these days.

Dang, glad I found this thread. I thought I had to be close to the oldest at 58. Guess not. On well.

Only thing I found at my age is "Oh $#!%" do I really have to Odin back to rooted, so I can get my phone back to normal,

So I can start this whole rooting process over again???? Sometimes my brain feels like mush with certain parts of rooting.

Also kids really look at you funny when you pull out an SG3 with Jelly Bean sporting Google Now and Photosphere. Well, I'm sure

there are some parallels among us regardless of age, that we like solving puzzles, making things work better, and discovering something new.

Another Stat that is novel, XDA "Join Date" I joined back at the beginning of 08' so I could hack the daylights out of my old windows vz6700. I even had turn by turn navigation.

Hi junior.

I have 20 years on you.

Started out with punch cards.

The capacity of a Smartphone still boggles my mind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
Punch cards were a lot of fun (NOT). I taught my girlfriend, now my wife of 40 years, to program the drum cards and assist with the keypunching. Many a Friday night spent at the computer lab trying to get the bugs out of program. What really makes you feel old though is going with your kids and grandkids to the technology museum and showing them all the things you use to use and explaining punch cards, etc.

Did you ever have to use paper tape? Even more fun than punch cards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:

They would always be caught in the feed and rip, then you had to tape it and make sure you didn't cover any holes, we used machines that were jointly developed by Siemens and Luxor. We used to dream about being able to afford IBM, only the government had that kind of money.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wyvern49:
I was lucky. I got my BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from Cornell and they had IBM equipment and computers. Our remote entry lab had IBM keypunches and card sorters (for when you dropped a box of cards) and an IBM 360/20 for submitting jobs to the main computer. On a side note, Moog was a EE assistant prof when I was going to school and getting to play with his synthesizer as he was developing it was a ton of fun.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iclickjohn:
OH MY GOSH......MOOG! I had Moog - The Electric Eclectics Of **** Hyman when I was a kid. And if you remember reading the dialog on the back of the album sleeve it said, "Someday digital synthesization would be a part of all music in the future". After listening to all the songs on the album, I said, "Ummmm NO WAY" hahahaha was I ever wrong, but more importantly was HE ever RIGHT. Moog was a visionary indeed.

I made backup paper tapes to enable more accurate mixing and matching when the primary tape inevitably would rip. Good times.

[HTC Droid DNA] tdetroit:
I have a question.....currently all of my phones and tablets are covered by Asurion and I've never had a problem getting a device replaced if I had an issue, and I simply put my old battery back into the replacement device, but the point is that it was MY battery. With the DNA having a sealed battery, does that mean...let's say my phone goes kaput in a year, I'll get a replacement phone with an obviously sealed used battery? What if the battery doesn't hold a proper charge? It's not like I could just go and buy a new one.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
Well after a year I'd say it's a pretty good bet the battery in a refurb DNA would be better than your year old battery.

I notice a small (3mm x 3mm ) spotty blemish (four tiny dots arranged like the new windows icon) on the screen, probably in the actual LCD (cannot touch it).

It is only visible when the screen displays white.

I suppose this is a manufacturing defection. Anything else about the screen seems fine. quite solid build, except for negligible 0.5mm give on the left edge.

Anything else I should particularly check for? Shall I exchange it at bb?

There is really no anything else as big and as light as tf700, right?

Thanks.
