Yes I do, lol.

22 now, back when I was 12-13 I started my obsession, I had the Nokia 5165 and The one similar to that one were you could change the faceplate (remember how popular those were lol) I used to make my own ringtones, play snake all the time and I used to get my friends to text back when most people never texted.

After that I owned a bunch of Nokia's, Razrs (v3, v3i, v3xx) Blackberries, the first android (G1 :) ) and a bunch more androids. I've always loved technology since I was a young one.

I started in 1996 with my first mobile phone and went through the complete story from Nokia, Siemens (the first one with colour display), Ericsson (without Sony), Windows phone, Iphone and am now sticking to Android phones. I already had the Hero, Desire, Galaxy S, am now in love with the Defy and already preordered Galaxy S2.

But as others I don't keep them. I sell them as soon as I get the fingertips on the new toy and it not reveals itself as a total clunker...

I'm looking forward to the next years. It's a great time to live in. Imagine what we would have collected 60 years ago???? ;-)

I don't come close to your epic collection, but I've had more than my fair share (and I think my fiancee is one more phone away from strangling me over it). Just in terms of smartphones, I've had:

- MyTouch 3g

- Nokia N900 (beautiful hardware, crap software and terrible network connections)

- Palm Pre (2 of these)

- Samsung Moment

- HTC Hero

- HTC Evo

- Iphone 3g

- Samsung Epic 4g

- HTC Evo Shift 4g

- HTC Inspire

- Iphone 4

- Samsung Infuse 4g

I dont think there is a single one of these I didn't do some sort of software mod (rooting/jailbreaking/homebrew etc) to. I think I may actually have a problem :-)

Well, I've had 3 android phones in the last 12 months so I guess I am addicted to phones yeah (to the extent that I'm questioning whether I could maybeeee afford another contract to get a Nexus S. I won't, because that would be mental, but you know). Hero, then Milestone and finally I'm packing a Desire. Loooove this phone, especially with cyanogen on it :D.

I have an obsession with my phone (OG Droid) and Android. I can't really say that I have an obsession with phones in general. My obsession is more with Android and everything that can be done with/to Android! Open Source is the best thing Google has ever done and is already changing the way the smartphone market is working.

[General Topics] lol Qaeda:
If you're good at finding/making deals I could see buying a new phone every 6-12 months or so, provided you're selling your old phone(s) each time.

As for me, I get obsessed with things I really want and I don't stop until I have 'em, pretty much... then I get kinda dismissive with 'em after a while. xD

I don't have the bank to be blowing on a new phone every three months (about once every year or two if I work things out right and get cheap service) but even if I did I'd be shelling it on other toys. Gotta say, though, phones can be pretty darn tempting.
[General Topics] deez1234:
Right now my current collection is as follows:

G1

MT3GS

Vibrant

Galaxy Tab

Nexus S

LG G-Slate

Each phone/tablet still gets used and are all rooted\running custom ROMs except the G-Slate.

My dedication also shows through my Android tattoo. Yes, you read correctly lol. I am very passionate about my technology. I gave up heroin for a phone addiction, so its safe to say my obsession is much healthier now. My girlfriend can't stand it though but yet she's always playing with my toys. I will surely get something new in a month or two so then I can add to my list. If anyone is interested I can post a pic of my tattoo. Oh and even though I love Android I still appreciate what other OS's have to offer. In conclusion, I'm just an all around tech geek working in the wrong field. ;)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
I have a very strange problem with my wifi. Whenever I use a CM6 build, my wifi alot of times will say "operation timed out" when using the internet or xda app. I have no problems at all in Sense builds. That's the weird part. I have full wifi signal, right apn's and right dns settings. I can't for the life of me figure this out. Very frustrating. Have been dealing with this for the longest time. Has anybody else experienced this, or know of a solution to fix this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] boldman78:
hi mattfmartin,

try maybe define a static ip address to your wifi .

i cant really think about any logical reason for that.

hope it helps.

good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
All cm6 builds?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Yeah anything that isn't Sense it happens to. Its not a reception issue either. The wifi icon is full bars. Believe me, I've tried all build just to see. They all say after I try to load a new page "operation timed out".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gary.M:
I have this too. Whats your router?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Dlink... What's yours? Also it only happens to me on non sense builds. What about you?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Thanks for your suggestion. Still the same result "operation timed out."

Norpan it didn't get deleted. I opened up two threads. One in android general, the other is in Q&A because I wasn't getting amy replies from the other one. Do you have any suggestions my friend. I've even tried static ip with no luck. To answer your original question, it only happens to me in Non Sense builds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Come one, come all. Hit this thread up
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gary.M:
Dlink, but also a Linksys. It only happens to me on non sense builds. XDA etc stalls and needs a retry often... on the sense builds I've tried I have no problems.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Exact same with me. Especially using the XDA app. You would think alot more people would have thus problem.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
Sorry for not replying as fast, is there any difference on how they handle networking sense/no sense? Sounds wierd :s does it time out on sleep only or when you are using it aswell?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
I get that issue to now when i think about it. Sometimes mainly xda app keeps timing out on me..could it be non-sense builds keep accessing some port blocked by our router?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Yeah on sense it never times out. Just on nonsense builds. Also it times out when I'm using it. Don't know what its doing in sleep. My brother has a native android, and his never does this. Were using the same router. Been dealing with this for the longest time. Even tried static ip, changing dns values. Usually I can figure stuff out on my own, but this one I can't resolve. That's why I opened the thread to see if anybody else has seen this problem before. Your right about xda app doing it alot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
How f#$% wierd ..I'm on superam and gets that mostly in xda and market app. Browser seem fine tough
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
I get it sometimes on browser, but mostly xda app. I just don't understand why it never happens on sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Gary.M:
What channel is your router on? I see a difference between Sense and non-sense builds in ability to see higher channels...

Sent from my HTC HD2 Android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
I honestly don't know. My brother hooked up the router. He is using a cm build on his native android, and is not having any problems. So I don't think its the channel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
Driver issue on hd2 causing channel error with non-sense build perhaps? Guessing here ..cuz we had some problems with wifi before
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] muchelaguito:
and BUMP again, I have a similar issue... although in my case I think it doesn't even work with Sense builds. I will try another build, what specific build you used that worked for you?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Any sense build. Just non-sense builds will connect but eventually time out shortly after. I've changed routers,dns settings, static ip addresses. You name it I tried it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] muchelaguito:
try switching channels in your router, all the way up to 11. I had a similar issue and now it seems to be working better after I have tweaked my AP settings. It is still spotty and disconnects sometimes, but at least now I can browse most of the time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanstein:
Does Sprint charge for usb tethering or just the hot spot? Tried calling and got the typical "What's tethering?" response. Also did a search here and didn't find any thing. My plan details are not telling either.

Sent from my couch, with a beer and some pretzels while watching tv.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jejb:
If you root, you will get free USB or wireless tethering. I rooted both of our Evo's specifically to get that working. I loaded the Sprint Lovers rom and it's all working perfectly. I just spent a few days at the MIL's house and used the heck out of it.

There are other advantages to rooting, too, like a bigger selection of apps, custom roms, etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanstein:
Well, that's why I ask. I need to be able to tether, but not wirelessly. On my old TP2, and clear back to my Apache for that matter, it was simply a registry hack and most of the roms had stealth built in, so I never worried about it. But, with the EVO, it seems that stealth has to be dome by root, and root is a right swine to achieve at this point, due to the recent OTA. Thus, if I can use the usb tether without charge, then I will until things settle down a bit.

However, I am not keen on paying Sprint another $30 a month on top of the extra charge for unlimited data, because that would be redundant. Not to mention the extra $10 a month that I have to pay which the guy at the store called the "Coolness Charge" :mad: So, when I figure it out I will root and put the screws to the Powers That Be. But, for now, I need to have a contingency plan because college classes are almost all internet submitted, and work won't let me use their wifi, and tends to get touchy when you try hacking it...:eek:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klquicksall:
Just root using unrEVOked and then go to the wifi tether website and download the most current version of the application and you will be able to put out a strong G signal. Or use pda net for wired tethering.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanstein:

So i took the memory card out and put it on my pc it reads the video at 134mb so when i try to upload from the pc it worked with no problem.

Hi!

I read that Archos 101 have some issues with Google Marketplace.

I'm between buy Archos 101 or iPad (I'm inclined to Archos)

I want to use it for read large-sized pdfs, comics (CBR and CBZ), web browsing, office productivity and read news.

My questions is:

- Is it possible to install apps like NyTimes through the apk, since it is protected market and can't be installed through the Market? I searched but nothing found (it's a bit difficult to understant since I dont have the tablet yet :D)

- Is it posible to install RepliGo or other fast pdf readers through the appmonster or the Market and use it with good quality (I mean, full res and full size pages?)

- Is it posible to use BT keyboard?

- Is it multitasking?

Thanks in advance!

Best Buy

There is a Tablet at Best Buy for 300 and it is made by Huawei. It includes the market and hard button home. It looks like a really good device. I would have bought that if I had know it was out before getting this.

The plus side to Best Buy is get you better support then you do from Archos. I am not sure the quality since I did not buy that one. It is something to keep in mind.

I am not saying I don't like my device but I am saying they left much to be desired that could have been better for the same price.

As far as questions go, since market is not default you have to use another app to get to the apk. I am not sure if NYtimes is working. Also there has been reported issues with BT and KB while using Wifi. I am not sure if this was fixed in the last patch. All Androids are Multitasking. I dont think they ever released on that was not. I hope this helps. You make want to go to a store and look at a 10" and 7". You may find the 10 is to cumbersome. Also Apples device is much heaver then Archos.
