Truckers run this country, not the politicians. If they all went on strike America would crumble. When traffic is congested, I like it when 2 fellow truckers ride side by side to hold people back to lighten up the traffic. People get mad but really they are just helping "everyone" out. God bless the big rigs ;)

The previous poster was also correct about average age overall on XDA, estimated to be something like 19-20 years old and in college. We are special here on this forum, although I suspect many of the ~1000+ people who use the Wicked X ROM and just never interact on the forums are 19-20 years old and in college.

So I'll hit up the OT crew here -

We're going to Orlando for vacation later this week. Five days, four nights, planning to exhaust ourselves by doing as much as we can cram in. Just the two of us are going, no kids, and we are in the 40ish-50 age group, healthy and active. Everyone I know has done this trip with kids, which is a very different vacation. One unfortunate limitation is that my wife (not a typo) has a ton of food allergies/restrictions, so all the good food stuff is not the enjoyable part. (It's the special lunch bag allowed into the parks sort of thing.) Otherwise we're good though. What's good for adults doing the Orlando-Disney-Universal vacation thing without little ones? The only sure thing on the list is to see the new Harry Potter stuff at Universal for one day. I'd like to know specifics of other things people have enjoyed down there. :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Swamphound:
[MENTION=4829480]erikalin[/MENTION] just got off the horn with one of my partners who used to practice in Orlando.

1) ck out Winter Park. Good shopping & a nice museum

2) Atlantic beaches are just an hour away: fishing w/ guides , kayaking, tours and Kennedy Space Center

3) golf if you play. I don't (medical heresy I know)

4) if you're a redneck like me I believe there are guided hog hunts as well.

Have fun no matter what!

Look for any shows playing during your dates there at the Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues or Bob Carr theatre. The night life at either Universal City Walk or Pleasure Island at Disney is also pretty good. Harry Potter section at Universal is excellent BTW. Of course I favor Universal and the Spider-man ride...duh!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
Thanks. Winter Park sounds interesting. Will put this into the mix. Beaches - we're spoiled in New England. We have our evening meal on the beach every Thursday in the spring/summer, watch the sunset while feeding raisins to my seagulls (that's my thing). Golf? I've also been supposed to like golf for a long time but can't. I hear you on that. I can tolerate driving range, which a surgeon friend of mine says is enough for her circles too (just a tip). And I am utterly the opposite of a redneck. Lol. That made me laugh. ;) Cheers.

Thanks to you as well. Universal City Walk shall go into the mix. Thanks for suggesting that, and for confirming Harry Potter is worth it. So what is your thing with Spiderman, by the way? Just honestly curious.

Well...without sounding like a geek...Spiderman/Peter Parker...typical teenager...a bit geeky and bullied....gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gains some abilities...attempts to use them for personal gain, resulting in a terrible tragedy which teaches him an awesome lesson of "With great power, comes great responsibility!" Spends his life trying to make up for that mistake always trying to do the right thing no matter what...as it is his responsibility now. Along the way comes many of typical life problems that he has to deal with as well as getting his ass handed to him every now and then...but he always gets back up.

I think he is one of the best role models for kids today....and also let's not forget his ability to joke when faced with great danger.

Hmmm....still sounds too geeky :p

Both phones are truly a marvel in hardware. If removable battery is more important than sound, go LG. Both have sd card capability. Also do not buy sd cards on ebay...got a fake 64GB that I am dealing with now. Only 4GB was usable!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n00b-xda-disciple:
Oh no... That's horrible man.. Check out Amazon, haven't been screwed over on there yet. Bought my 64gb SD for around $30, my zerolemon 7000mah Battery for about $35/40, ZLrugged case for $20. Everything combined with my s3 running Bilger's Rom is extraordinary.

I highly doubt I will get another phone anytime soon; The case is a beast and I have a screen replacement warranty.

Amazon + Pay Pal = excellent customer service(from my experience)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Yeah...I am sure I will get a refund..but the time wasted trying to get it working ticks me off.....I will stick to 32GB cards for now after that experience. Ordered a 32GB for my GF for her upcoming Note 4 for $16 on Amazon!

Bumping the OT thread... Fun Android ish news to share: I received a pretty cool and unexpected award at work, partly for an Android app + companion web app I made for students. Last night was a fancy recognition ceremony and conference, and I got one of the awards, for my tech-geek-ness. Fun for me. A few of you guys tested the Android edition for me over the summer... I'm all proud of myself at the moment. :)

Finally found something good for my gamer pc :) lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
No, but if you're into animé, I highly suggest "The Future Diary". It is the most amazing story, it's only 26 episodes but you should be able to find it English dubbed.. The premise is God (Deus Ex Machina) is dying and needs a successor, he chooses 12 people to give diaries that tell the future and they must battle to the death to become the new God.

You know, he probably left the forum because you guys don't talk up this OT thread enough. Just saying.

... I'm working on an app for the wife, for an anniversary gift. (Definitely 10 out of 10 on geek scale)... We're moving from New England to the twin cities, a huge move, and we're both from the east coast. The ocean is like home. So I'm making Pocket Beach, an app with some video loops of local beaches; friends are supposed to be recording for me this weekend... then I need to majorly trim down video size and hopefully make some good loops. I'll throw it on the Play Store when it's done, but I'll be looking for testers maybe Monday if anyone can take a look. I'll ask on this OT thread. ;)

Good luck man! Is the LG G3 a unified forum? My boys [MENTION=3125148]KennyG123[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4003363]xboxfanj[/MENTION] went to the G3. Both extremely talented and helpful, if you need anything.

I went Nexus 6,and the only improvement I would make to it is to have the buttons on the back. I always inadvertently hit the volume rocker because of the way I hold it. (I also miss TouchWiz)

John Locke! :D I liked Lost. I'd re-watch the entire series AGAIN, but I might have to wait a while longer on account of my wife not being as strong of a fan.

Thanks! I don't know that yet - I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for the reference, it's good to know some names. I know I've seen KennyG123 post around before, and probably xboxfani too.

I'm glad I'm not alone in not finding the side buttons ideal. My first Android phone, the HTC Droid Eris (or the retarded little brother of the Incredible, as I like to call it) did have volume buttons on the left side, but they were flush, and it had physical Send and End keys on the front, End acting as power/screen on, and I don't think I had as much trouble keeping the screen off when I wanted it to stay off, with that configuration.

Which Nexus 6 did you get? Google Play or other? What 32 Gb or 64 Gb?

It's about half an once heavier than the case-less S3.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erikalin:
Edit: Great, thanks! You were a good tester for one of the apps I made last year for work. I hop to have something worth testing Monday night/Tuesday. Anniversary is Wednesday, so...

About this weekend's Apping... REALLY having trouble getting Navigation Drawer to work with appcompat, required so normal people without the latest Android version can use the app. The Nav is like in the current gmail app, when you press the top left corner and the thing slides out - you navigate with those options on the slideout, but it's not just a menu; it's something that contains "fragments" so, all the normal java class activities ("pages" in an app) are fragments...not like separate java class files... not activities that extend Activity... It might be over my head to figure out the fragment thing using appcompat, at least this weekend because I have the video edits to do. So... the navigation might be just a stupid, simple dropdown menu. I totally got it working with the newest 5.0.1 SDK, but I need that appcompat to work for anyone to use the app more than just on my emulator. :/ app-making blues.

More 10-out-of-10 on the geek scale: "What did you get me for my birthday?" App update, with updated nav drawer! Also flowers. :)

Hey guys, So I made the app for the anniversary present. It's not what I'd call "release ready" but we're driving across the country in less than a week, and today's the anniversary date, so I had to cringe and release is as-is this morning. Check it out. Keep in mind this known issue: audio bug. What is this issue: With so many different media services running in one app, mute buttons can cross paths and your media volume will mute. To clear this issue: force close the app. To avoid this issue: don't mute a video and then close it while on mute. Please don't leave critical play store ratings as feedback. This was a gift I put a ton of time into, and I'm aware of the bugs. It's also pretty complicated code for me. Whew! No app-testing requests, but you can check it out if you want for yourself: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.erikalin.beach. :)

I will post some code on the JAVA forums on here as soon as I can, so I can get help figuring out how to kill that audio mute conflict. I know there are some minor navigation glitches too. I hadn't previously implemented Navigation Drawer, and it gets complicated in that code. Lol. Good learning experience either way, and sappy anniversary gift.

Addendum to LG G3 review:

I never notice it vibrate for a notification when it's sitting on my desk at work, and the notification LED is pretty small and hard to notice, too. I did feel it vibrate in my pocket once, so I'm going to try keeping it in my pocket to see if I notice. I think I can set it to flash the flash for notifications in Accessibility, so maybe I'll do that.

I as well jumped to the LGG3 as well. Could not resist the $1 offer.

I have to say I am really loving the phone. After root which was 5 minutes after I powered it on, added Xposed and G3Tweekbox (our version of Wanam) everything is as I love it.

Love the buttons on the back was not sure about it but gotta say it is a great idea thinner side bezels and cleaner look.

Still have the S3's my son has one now and my daughter has another. One on WickedX and another on TPR.

I've resisted the urge to install Xposed on the G3 since the author has said he doesn't have a lot of motivation to do the tremendous amount of work necessary to make it work with Lollipop. It's hard to resist. ☺

A victory of sorts to report and document. After much reading, watching several videos and downloading/installing a pleathora of stuff followed by days of starts and stops, many failures and back to the "drawingboard" more times than i can remember a SUCCESS!!

The downside, the effect I'm wanting to achieve didn't happen but that's just figuring out the correct files to edit.
