How long are you in for?
elegant: I know I'm really gonna have to cut back on the terrible crime of turning left into the right hand lane
shroomz: that would be excellent. just to make it irritating for the mail guy, send one for each update.
metal: hopefully only a week... but could be a month or more depending on which way the judge goes hahaha.

Good luck to you man, I know how bad jail sucks. Best piece of advice I can give you- don't drop the soap
hahaha its washoe county.
A. They probably don't have soap.
B. 80 of people in there are weekend warriors for possession of marijuana.
C. I pity the fool that tries to give me a log ride if I were to drop the soap.
Good luck m8.... you'll be fine. Just remember, the first thing you do is find the biggest Guy that's in your cell block/pod... what ever they call them now.
Hit him square on the chin... this can have 2 outcomes. Both a plus!!!
1. He drops like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own cell for a bit and no one will f with you.
2. He smiles, drops you like a bag of bricks, you'll get your own bed in the hospital wing and people will think your crazy and have some kind of death wish.
Win... Win... plus you'll have a great story to tell either way, right?
Anyway here's a link you may want to check out.... I think they over night...

I know my way around a jail a bit. So no internet, listen to the tank boss, stick to your own kind white on white, black with black, etc... always brush your teeth before morning chow or you will get a beatdown. Lastly find out which toilets are for what. One will be for pissing, one for ****ting, and one for washing clothes. Don't mess that up. Good luck.
The EVO you wish you had
Why not show up with a bondsman and skip jail until the court date?
Pay it in full you get it all back if you show up to court.
Better do those taxes with turbotax. You'll get your refund in a week so you can pay those fines.
Take your Evo and disassemble it and smuggle it in your anus like some people do. You can also train a pigeon to drop it off in the yard.

It probably means that inmates don't want to see pubes in between your teeth during chow time.

So the site of a dude's hairy cornhole which you're about to go to town on is less offensive than some plaque on his teeth? There's a hefty amount of rationalization going on in jail.

Yup. Sponsored by AT&T. At least they didn't get stuck with Torches
I actually think they're quite good.... although i'd have rather seen James Durbin at least make it to the finals.

James Durbin rocks. One of my sons has Tourettes so I was rooting for him because he is one who has overcome his fears and whenever I see him I think of my son.

Yea. Sadly, should have known metal wouldn't win. Hell, Rock doesn't win... blues don't win... it's either country or ballad's out the arse, it seems.
Was REALLY hoping to see Steven Tyler and James Durbin perform together.... but oh well. Would have been an awesome pair... especially for that performance of Dream On.

When it comes time for me to shuffle off this mortal coil, I only will be sure of a few things, I am sure I will not be thinking, one; "If I had only spent more time at the office" and two will be; "I wish I spent more of my limited time on this earth watching and thinking abut 'American Idol'"
An American Idol thread? I just threw up in my mouth.
Well, it was actually because they have been using the Atrix as their phone of choice really! LOL
I did find that quite nice. Bout damn time you don't see the iPhone plastered on every commercial, TV show, tech site, or ham sammich at your local gas station.
On another note.... Durbin and Tyler would have been awesome.... but eeh... Durbin and Judas Priest was sweet, too.
Weirdest part of the finale? Lil Wayne and TLC..... A) two COMPLETELY different ranges of music..... with only one actually being MUSIC... B) isn't TLC short one member?

But America's Best Dance Crew uses the Atrix too with the laptop dock
So my brother is setting up the evo4g i gave him when i got the nexus s 4g to take a timed pic of some nhl playoff good times. the kick stand wasnt really getting the proper angle so he made a slight, temporary modification that i think htc should have taken into consideration.
Brilliant!

Without a doubt. He certainly earned his MVP award. And Chara made the Stanley Cup look like a tea cup, lol. So happy they won...39 years!! I've been waiting my entire life.
Nice stand, now all you need is some graham crackers and chocolate!
Fun. If you would have posted with a step by step tutorial it could have been a sticky though.
I've just knocked my XZ off my sofa whilst on charge and it hit a tile from my fire place! Checked the phone thoroughly and was just about to go get a beer to celebrate when I noticed a small little crack on the side under the volume button :'(
Its not really noticeable tbh but I know it's there! I might get three to exchange it now and say somethings wrong with it as it will bug me like hell!
Dam this is first time I have been clumsy with a phone!

That's what you get for not using a case.
Tell them you only just unboxed it & it's cracked.

I take mine out at home. Solely to keep it clean outside I put it in a case, not to mention protection. Also, if you have it in a case it's harder for potential thieves to spot expensive phones from worthless ones. A big thin slab looks expensive.

1. I tend to keep myself out of mud and dirty places.
2. I don't live in an area with a lot of crime or poor people.
But we are having a stupid discussion here. Some people like to have some extra protection and some people don't. It's easy as that.

I live in London and going through parts with poor people in them is a given. :crying:
It's not mud, it's some jackass spilling his drink and you putting your phone in the place an hour later.

Ahhh, okay i can imagine it may help masking your phone a little so it won't have a "please steal me, Sir!" tag on it And i've also had the occasional "this looks like a clean spot.... aaaaaand it's not", but i like living on the edge, one bar at a time :silly:

I dont know if this is the first "gate" fiasco for this phone but it definitely sounds like the glue is coming undone! Worst part is that I just pulled the phone out of the box. Everybody better check their screens. Im calling it Glue-gate

Its gotten worse with me using it and it getting warm. It didn't do this when I first took it out of the box. I've had it out of the box for about 2 hours and now the sound gets longer and longer. Like more areas of the screen are coming undone.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

OK so I had to call like 3-4 times in order to get them to ship me a new one before I send mine back. But it'll be here on Monday. I will say that the screen scratches really easily... I only put it in an empty pocket once and only for like 2 minutes! It's got two fine scratches on the screen already. To all of y'all who plan on going without a screen protector, good luck! You are definitely going to need it
Haha I've always wanted to be the first out of the gate, but I'll let you have this one.

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
