Anyone else had some stresses and strains from holding/using their tabs? My left wrist is hurting right now from holding the tab too long playing some game. I've also had pain in my right palm from using my right thumb too much/too hard playing some game frantically.

I was reading another thread and noticed another user flicks the kickstand in and out when they're bored I do the same thing how about you guys? Just trying to make small talk before I ask you all out. My name is Yevo.(fututlrama reference btw not actually looking for a date)

If I'm not doing anything, I'll mess around with the kickstand. I don't stay still very well you see...
Haha I do, everyone looks because it makes that clicking sound when it goes out then in.
I do the same... When Im on the phone at work I flick it... Or I hold the phone by it and spin it... I Probably shouldn't do that but oh well...
I'll admit, I fidget and mess with the kickstand whenever I'm in a boring meeting or whatever. Wore out the kickstand a bit on my first EVO doing that...
Yea, I flick it open and close all the time
I actually use it to prop my phone up. lol I use my Slingbox A LOT. I'll miss the kickstand, but it won't stop me from upgrading.
I know it is early in the thread, but not one penis joke?
I mess with mine all the time, I foubg that all it takes it a little pressure on the hinge side and it pops right open.
Haha yeah I do the same. I'll be standing somewhere reading on it while flicking the kickstand. It's become a habit of mine
yes i play with mine occasionally.
lol i do too when i am bored...
Only when my wife's out of town.

Exactly! I am constantly popping it up like that and slapping it back down
...giggity
-Just warming up!
yeah it doesnt take much to get my kickstand standing haha i dropped it when i was playing with it once and it fell on the kickstand, now it closes easier, opens quick, but stays locked in whatever position i leave it in
Haha, yeah, I flick it in and out all the time!
I'm actually surprized at how well it's held-up. When I first saw it, I was like well....that's going to break in a month!
Off topic:
When on the forum home, this thread is displayed as "Who else plays with their..."
Let the imagination run wild!
I flick it out, touch the underside, then flip it back in place.

Man, that would have been a great marketing ploy: Built-in Kickstand, that also works for warding off needy girlfriends and other unwanted people - flicks in and out with ease!
I am positive that there are others out there that occasionally allow kids to play with their phone. Also, I am positive that I am not the only dad who has kids that like to touch the buttons.
I have toddler lock which is OK, but I would like to show my youngest 19mos a cartoon, but I want to try and disable the buttons or screen, so she doesn't turn it off or mess it up?
Any thoughts, other than shock therapy every time she presses the home key? Maybe an app (like toddler lock) that has a pattern to turn the buttons back on? Maybe like toddler lock except have whatever is running on the droid be the background?
Thank you in advance!
Are you talking about hard or soft keys?
I know that for touchscreens,(not sure which OS), there's an app. My buddy has this app that displays colors for his daughter to play with and when she touches it, it shows stars and such. If I can dig anything up, i'll reply back. I'll shoot him a text, too.
Do you want to disable the touchscreen or the four buttons on the bottom?
Just disable kids.
Why not actually play with your kids instead of stuffing some electronic device in their face to give you more 'me' time?

Ugh, do you have kids? The phone is a great tool for times when you have a little one at a restaurant and they're not happy about sitting there. I honestly don't know why people even feel the need to post crap like this.
And the app that locks the phone down is called Toddler Lock.
I'm interesting in an app that will lock the touchscreen down for movies. My little ones love watching them at restaurants or the grocery store, but they accidentally touch the screen and it pauses the movie or stops it all together.

Wow that was helpful. No advice but you did manage to slam his/her parenting ability with nothing to base it on.
To the OP - I don't know of any apps to lock the buttons, but I found that many of the "finger painting" apps go to full screen so the kids can draw with it without getting lost.

Didn't 'slam' anyone's parenting abilities. I offered a suggestion.
You don't give a kid a gun and then post a message saying 'any device that will keep the gun from going off while the kids play with it?'.

Seriously? You're equating a child watching a cartoon on a phone to giving a gun to a child??
Why don't you do your trolling over at reddit. You'll get more mileage there.

Two things kids shouldn't be messing with, your phone or your gun, not a stretch.

Noise cancelling mic?
Yea like a camera strap kinda thing ...
I used the lanyard from a Wiimote sometimes. When I go to Six Flags, I'll use it to record the rides. lol. But ya that's what its for.
Alright cool thanks, so any kind of lanyard can be used?
You hook the wrist strap on the little nib inside the phone and feed it through the hole.
+ under the batt cover
thank you for this :]

ive ogt several from old cameras. i tried one on, but didnt like the look. i guess if you were a chick, you could hang a phone charm on there.
i always tell people its for wired tethering
seriously though the evo shift didn't have one and it pissed me off
it really makes yanking your phone out of your pocket easy
I just got my note today and I was writing and all of a sudden the note wouldn't recognize the pen. Usually when you write with an actual and nothing writes you tend to shake it so out of habit I did that with the s-pen and then realized how idiotic I looked anyone else do this?

Ah, the old OM (Oscillatory maintenance). It's a pet theory that that will do anything, but clearly it's a technique for wimps.
Everyone knows that when something stops working, clearly the best cure is PM (Percussive Maintenance)...
(Now I'll have to pay attention and see if I ever wimp out )
When I got my first Tablet PC, I used a Wacom stylus with an eraser end (which works with the Note 10.1 - BTW).
When I was drawing, I'd flip the pen over to erase and without thinking, I'd *brush away the eraser crumbs*... which makes sense on paper, but of course, doesn't make sense on a tablet.
I don't do it much anymore - but I still sometimes feel my arm wanting to do it even now...
Amazing how we get into these deep grooves and even more amazing how close to 'the real thing' these devices can be.
Thats nothing, I was reading an actual paper magazine and tried to scroll the page. Had to look and see if anyone noticed thank god no one did.

I regularly try to use touch on my laptop's external monitor. It looks like a large version of a tablet since it's on an arm, and really messes with my head.

That's funny!
Interesting story, thought I'd relate.
So I was at home yesterday, playing with the s-pen keeper.
I took out the s-pen, turned the screen off and walked around.
I could walk roughly 18-20 feet before the alert fired off. Fair enough.
So today, I was driving home, and halfway there my phone made some noise I didn't recognize and vibrated.
Got home, pulled my phone out - s-pen alert! Huh? I didn't remember pulling it out.
Drove back to work, looked around in the parking lot.
Just on a whim, went back inside and looked in my cube - and there it was, on my desk.
So I managed to get a good 40 feet away from it before the alert fired off.
Still though - that's wonderful! Any alert at all is fantastic.
- Frank
This phone has so many bells and whistles I can't wait to get my hands on one.....
That is SOO cool! So does that mean that the S-Pen has/is electronic? Because I remember someone else on another thread saying it wasn't, but the fact that the note II knows how far away the pen is and features activate when you press a button must mean it has some gizmos inside there, right?

It doesn't know how far away you are.
It knows if you pulled out the stylus.
It can also kind of guess whether you are walking using the accelerometers. (similar to how pace counters work).
I managed to drive really far away before setting the alarm off, because it looks for an up/down forwards movement, I guess.
- Frank
it goes off after about 10-30 shakes, depending on how the phone moves.
I did a dumb thing when I first got my Note II, I pulled the S-Pen out and walked away with it, wondering why I wasn't get an alarm!! Why did I think the pen would make a noise?! Doh!

Actually, there is a bluetooth spen available with mic and speaker. And it would be quite nice if the pen could make a sound or something to help you find it.

I just noticed something with the s pen when you hover over a keyboard, it deactivates touch responsiveness and only allows the S pen to be used. Its kinda cool

Wacom technology uses magnetic resonance.
So if you have the stylus close enough (1 cm?) It creates a feedback loop and the Note knows the stylus is there.
I don't think there is enough intelligence to determine how far away it is even if you are that close.
And more than an inch away or so and you're out of range totally and it's all over.
