absolutely.....however, its one thing to "feel" a different age rather than to "act" a different age....and some people take that to a whole new level haha
(Im 25)

Why is the last category >26? Does life end after 26 so we'll just lump all those people together?

Im 20.

i agree, you need to add more age groups on there....OP's goal was to find out there age range, althought he himself is kind of limiting that.

Guaranteed the OP is between 18-26, so something deep down makes him assume most other people are too....no fault to him though. when im reading and communicating on the forums, i often find myself interpreting members in my head as if they were my own age, when in fact i could be talking to someone who is 65. I feel its natural when dealing with the unknown, your mind tries its hardest to make it somewhat familiar/relatable.
Anyone else feel this way a lot?

I'm 35 but act like 40 but feel like 18

Yes! Oldies are winning at this point.

30 here...but like someone mentioned I act like I am 18 lol

44 Physically... Mentally... different issue.

The cause of all your Galaxy s2 problems......

I have come to the conclusion that the reason some users are having problems with their phones is this.....
ITS YOUR OWN FAULT!
Leave the phone the way Samsung intended it and 90% of you wont have problems
Dont get me wrong i was one of these people.....Got the phone...was really happy with it and then i started to work my magic lol! New launcher here, different widget there and so on and so on.
Ended up with terrible battery life and then with a phone that got so hot it shut itself down!
Since that time i have reset the phone and kept it completly standard...what a difference...battery last 2 days again and the phone is fast and cool!
So, moral of the story...leave it alone and just enjoy the phone as it is....if you dont you only have yourself to blaim
so endith the lesson

Dont get me wrong im all for changing my phone to the way i want it etc but all it ever does is bugger the thing up!
If the phone is left as it comes out of the shop then the chance of problem is far reduced.
This phone has been refined so far that in standard form there very little wrong with it. Problems arise when we start messing with it to much.

Based upon what?
you disagree?
if so why...if its the phone thats at fault all the time then why bother with one?
You think the user is never the cause of problems with the phone? Is that because we are all technical geniuses?

I agree and i never said it was perfect
but this phone is so much better than many and all the niggles are getting sorted the more android and samsung develops.
The point i was making is that the majority of problems on here are not because of some minor bug...more likely down to user error or the result of other apps etc that have been added.

not the case

You're making a sweeping generalisation based on absolutely zero evidence. The worst kind of troll.
Are the Orange FC problems caused by user error? No - KE2 firmware is bugged. Is the appearance and activation of Wifi sharing user error? No, its a bug. Is the unexplained battery drain and high Android OS use user error? No.
This thread contributes absolutely nothing. It only serves to aggravate those of us with issues that we're trying to resolve. Is it a great phone? Yes. But right now it had issues. You become an early adopter, you accept that. And you try to make the product better.

dont want to be on here all night but lets look at the obvious...Battery life
Numerous complaints about that
im no expert and dont profess to be but from my own experience when i had lots of widgets, different launcher etc installed my phone struggled to last the day. Since my reset to standard as of now the phone is still on 78% and thats after being unplugged since 8am.

Hang on (door slams). I'll just go and buy an iPhone.

The Massive Phone Held to your Ear

I think it's odd how many people say the Note is too big, or you will look funny holding the phone up to your ear. I make at least 40 calls a day, and I do not use a headset, and not once has anyone said I look funny holding the phone to my ear. Maybe I do look funny, but nobody has ever mentioned it, or even looked at me funny. I think the first few days I used the Note, I felt a little weird, but now I don't even think about the phone size.
opps, wrong section, sorry

If someone doesn't want to get the Note because he or she "will look funny with it" and not because it's too big or any other actual reason - there's something wrong with that person, not the phone. Enough said

It doesn't matter when it's big enough to satisfy expectations my friend

I agree w. OP. I am a Prof on a 3 campus university. I am always walking around them and the research labs. I have no problems with putting the Note in my front pocket, talking on the phone with it my ear, using it with one hand and of course being able to do email, schedule, find a room number of a meeting - all while on the fly walking w/ or w/o the pen and usually using the dead accurate voice commands and dictation - never get a strange look.
I use the note like a computer and get things done with such less frustration than past phones ( moving between touch, pen and voice and using allot of gesture controls for speed). I am on one campus when a crisis happens on another ( I am a Grad Chair for a Interactive CS school on one campus and Dir of another small program in Cog Sci on another), checking email and voice inputting a reply or room number or person to call - saves me hours of frustration if I had let the problem grow and not made a quick fix or alleviated with a quick email.
The phone is a godsend and the 'it just looks to big for me being on my hip bus in Manhattan with my hipster friends ( hey I grew up in Manhattan) is just stupid press BS which we have to read all the time. Although 5 million of us know better.

Years back, the smallest phone was the trend and if you owns a small expensive phone, you would be the talk of the room! But nowadays, large device/screens are the growing tend. 4.3-4.6 inches screens seems to be the most popular but I think it won't be too long before the majority of people would adopt a 4.8 or 5.5 inches phone!
Thing is we all like to browse websites/check emails/watch photos and videos on the go, and to be able to do this with ease, we need more screen space. The Dell Streak 5 was great but it was built with very outdated hardware/specs. Samsung definitely has won the consumers by making the Note stands out of the market with the S Pen and some top hardware specs.

Why? Fanboyism proves nothing other than people can't trust their own judgement and need to criticise the other options.
This bull**** just makes it harder for other consumers to make an informed decision.

Don't need to since HTC One is already destroying the S4 in the polls anyway.

That's a fair point. I really hate the fact that polls like this exist though - most voters will have not touched either phone yet so what does winning mean other than self-pride stroking.
I've chosen the One by the way, but I'd rather have real discussion about that phone rather than 'it's better than x and x and x' so we must vote!

Fair but you have to see it in this way.
Polls decide pre-interests for a device. It provides future perspective of the success of a device.
It's true when you say no one has touched it yet. But we can judge the interests for each device.
It's clear the One is gaining more interests than anything I expected.

I'd imagine those voting for the one are probably the awesome people like me who bought it and think its epic where as those voting for the s4 will probably have seen a picture of it since its not even preorderable.
I hope for our sake the HTC One doesn't fantastically well, mainly to prove to HTC that they hit the nail firmly on the head with it. It didn't produce an iPhone killer, it didn't need to, but it has produced the best phone on the market IMO.

Reporting properly is irrelevant, selling advertising is the only thing that matters.
They have no accountability because they hold so much power. Recently there was a huge scandal when it was discovered that journalists had been breaking the law by hacking peoples voicemail to get stories; this had some shocking consequences and our parliament commissioned an independent report, the Levison Enquiry, on how the press could be prevented from acting in this way again. Upon publication of this report, Rupert Murdoch pressured our Prime Minister in to basically ignoring ALL the recommendations in it, and the press continue to just make stuff up to sell papers or to undermine people they dislike, usually for money or commercial gain. Disgusting as it is, we the people can have no control over it because they hold all the power.
You are correct, they do have a lot of readers. They buy it because of the righteous indignation they feel when they read the printed nonsense.
What country are you from?
