As i'm sure many of you have heard, there are a lot of 'Facts' about Chuck Norris going around, and as you may be aware, there is a program on the iPhone called "Chuckisms" (i think).
Yet again, the iPhone has a awsum program we dont.
So, if someone could make a app which displays a Chuckism (for example, "Chuck Norris drinks napalm to quell his heartburn.") and when shaken, it comes up with another. There are over 300 on the iPhone, and it wouldnt be hard to find them on the internet.
Cheers and good luck
examples:
1. Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
2. A man once asked Chuck Norris if his real name is “Charles”. Chuck
Norris did not respond, he simply stared at him until he exploded.
3. Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead
decided to punch his way out of his mother’s womb. Shortly thereafter he grew
a beard.
4. Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK
assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard,
deflecting them. JFK’s head exploded out of sheer amazement.
5. the original theme song to the Transformers was actually “Chuck
Norris–more than meets the eye, Chuck Norris–robot in disguise,” and starred
Chuck Norris as a Texas Ranger who defended the earth from drug-dealing
Decepticons and could turn into a pick-up. This was far too much awesome for a
single show, however, so it was divided.
6. Chuck Norris was the fourth Wiseman. He brought baby Jesus the gift of
“beard”. Jesus wore it proudly to his dying day. The other Wisemen, jealous of
Jesus’ obvious gift favoritism, used their combined influence to have Chuck
omitted from the Bible. Shortly after all three died of roundhouse kick
related deaths.
7. Chuck Norris once shot a German plane down with his finger, by yelling,
“Bang!”
8. When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from
cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also
requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his
back. He always makes it to Oregon before you.
9. Chuck Norris can make a woman climax by simply pointing at her
andsaying “booya”.
10. Before each filming of Walker: Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris is injected
with five times the lethal dose of elephant tranquilzer. This is, of course,
to limit his strength and mobility, in an attempt to lower the fatality rate
of the actors he fights.

aha .. I had to search a bit to figure out what this app should do...
I first read it as Chucki sms...
So my idea to this would be an app that send's sms to yourself (not to a number but only 'inside' the phone)
I don't know if this is possible??
anyway...
You can choose how many sms per day you should receive..
say you choose 4...
then you would receive 4 sms per day at random time... (important, so you don't know if it's a friend or a chuck sms)
and when u pick up your phone and look, there will be a Chuck Norris statement
wouldn't that be a cool, and funny app...?
any programmer up for it!?
lol. firstly WTF???!
secondly, good idea tho
Anyway, the idea i was thinking of is to have a random chuck norris quote come up on the screen, and if u shake it it changes, with a 'Pow' (punch) sound.
Hey guys, 2005 called and it wants it's played out unfunny meme back.
I've been Googling for a while now. Maybe I'm a bad Googler, because I couldn't find where I could buy a back cover for it, because mine is badly broken. So is it possible to biy a brown back cover (original) for my Hero?
Here you go it's full housing and a bit expensive.
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/HTC-HERO-Housing-p/htc732830.htm
Oh yes, it's expensive indeed.. Not only that I don't need full housing (I only need the back cover) and it is damn expensive because of that, but also you have to order two of these sets!
I badly need a brown covet and it is so hard to get it...
I someone willl cone up with something, because now I just feel desperate..
P.S.: I'm from Lithuania
Here is a link to Hero housing on Ebay... you might email the seller to see if they can get hold of a Brown one, as far as i can see only Black and Pink are available from this seller...

If somebody is interested in what he said (he is obviously also from Lithuania):
He was asking the price, because he was unable to open the link. And he would maybe participate with the buy, because he dislikes his white Hero and would make a good use of that whole bundle.
anyone know where to get a oem back cover or casing for a sprint hero????????

that's sweet, but i can't find a manual how do i change it, do i even need a manual or is it just the case or removing a few screws and switching housings? i have a white one, would prefer it black....or outfit matching, whatever
I'd love to find somewhere to buy a backplate for my white hero. It's not broken *yet*, but I'm sure one day it will be.
I dropped it 1.5m down on a concrete floor the other day...didn't make a scratch or a dent anywhere. I'm really impressed! My old Diamond would have snapped in two by that impact.

I have mixed views on this, on one hand as a parent I think this is a great tool to keep kids from preditors because as these phones get more and more fetures they become more and more like computers, there is software form comps that do this so it only makes sense that it would come to the smart phone world.
on the other hand I think that as a parent you need to raise your children correctly to avoid needing this and as an employer if I cant trust my employees then why are they working for me? so I do see the need but it is still kinda sad that it is needed.
Yeah, I see the use, but I still think that is it a breach of privacy. My parents never used blocking software on the PC, or looked over my shoulder. Sure, I saw some things on the internet that I prolly should not have, but I am no worse for the wear. I guess parents have the right to do it, but I think for business it is kinda sketch..but you work for them. Then again, Calls and e-mails, sure, but pictures and the like I think is to invasive.

This is awesome.
My kid is so screwed, haha. (seriously, I don't care if he looks at porn. I just want to know he's not dead.)
EDIT: Whoah.... $100/year? Forget that. MobileDefense is free and good enough.
If I did have a kid. I think this is takin it just a little bit to far.
Its the kids life, not his and the parents. GPS tracker, fine. Your entire life tracker, not fine.
Why not just go all the way and get a live satellite feed on your kid while your at it. He will grow up with no experience in Anything. While all of his friends with have 100x more common sense and understanding of thing because they discovered things for themselves.
I would say there is a limit to parenting, you have to let the kid figure things out on his own, do things wrong on his own. Sucks if you cant put them in the right direction.

I agree with you to a point and I really dont want to turn this into a parenting thread BUT I used to think the same way "you know let the kid experince life and learn from thier mistakes" thats what we did" but at then I became a parent and I relized just how much the world has changed. it used to be that you could let your kid go outside and ride their bikes and not have to worry becuase everyone in the community watched out for eachother, now I have to worry about pervs that might try to take my daughter and I can honestly say with one exception that i dont think my neighbors would do anything. then you have the pervs on the net and every celebrity basically saying that its ok to be permiscuious. as the father of a girl, yes i want to know where she is and if shes ok and yes if shes sending out inapropriate photos.
as for the work stuff. if the company provides you with a phone on thier dime then they have the right to know what you are using it for.

Exactly!!!! Why would u hire someone u cant trust? Just to have a body? Sounds like the risks outwheigh the benefits. And if parents arent raising their children right and expecting some secretive software to cover up their inability to teach morales and respect to their children then what is this world coming to?

my point precisly but at the same time I see the use for it becuase I worry about the other people out there.
i understand not trusting other, not so much the kid. But this software, text, email, contacts, calls the whole 9 yards. I can understand gps. You know where they are, and if you dont hear from them, you can just check.
Also if the kid were to ever get in trouble (assuming the kids 13+ and not an idiot maybe younger if you got a smart one) he/she would catch on that his/her phones being monitored. Who wouldnt ditch the phone and use another way of communication. Or better, leave the phone at home and then sneak out. $100 for the year down the drain

This is 100% true. A few of my friends have parents that ALWAYS want to know where they are, what they're doing, and want them to call like every hour. Let me just say, I'm so thankful my parents don't do that to me. Mind you, it's not a bad thing to be checked in on every once in awhile (my parents did that), but that's just ridiculous. My common sense level compared to theirs, as well as my level of maturity, is just so much higher. I end up learning things either myself or the hard way, but I appreciate that. Now whenever I'm confronted with a task, I'm able to think for myself, and I have the confidence to know I can do things on my own. Sorry that got off-topic, but I believe there is a point where parents need to settle down and trust their kids. I've earned my parents trust, and am able to a lot more without restrictions because of it.
my parents never trusted me, and now im homeless. true story brah.

or he discovered proxy servers, flash browsers, or cached pages.
I am on the fence about this one. I read the article and immediately thought this would be perfect for my daughter.
However, it is a tough call. Realistically, the only thing this type of technology is guaranteed to do is cause a level of resentment and disstrust towards the parent.
The ultimate question...Is it worth it? If this prevents a crime towards the child then I think it is, but for day-to-day child raising I think it may cause more damage than good. It is awfully difficult to teach values to a child if they think you are spying on (and thus don't trust) them.

You are a sick individual. I guess you're getting your kids ready for the world of lost privacy. Maybe this will be a good trait to practice with your children even though the invasion of privacy, especially from someone they trust, is sure to be a great topic at their adult counseling sessions. I suppose you're some type of religious person who uses punishment and guilt in training your child as opposed to education and positive reinforcement. But... how can I blame you, your parents probably did it to you, and their parents to them and so on. Still though, who will break the cycle? Think about if your parents, not only had access to, but actually analyzed every single conversation or thought you ever had. It's so disturbing. This is a form of child abuse and at the minimum the child should completely understand that they have no privacy. Just disgusting.
If you're guessing, yes I've raised a perfect moral, social, trustworthy and intelligent 5 year old boy.

ok first i think that if people like you are going to start judging the way that others are raising thier children then this thread needs to be closed and you need to seriously take a look at yourself before you do anything else you can raise your children the way you like but dont judge others (unless there is actual abuse going on) second you have a 5 year old wait 7 or 8 years and then you might change your mind teens are a completely different ball game.
and on that note my final thought to you and then I am leaving this thread alone is that I see parents like you all day long I even have a friend that raises her kids with the same line of thinking and im not saying that you are wrong but most of the time they are spoiled brats that have no respect for any adult other than thier partents. Also everytime you see a parent on the news after their kids been taken by some perv you hear the same thing "we had no idea he/she was doing anything like that" oversight is your job as a parent if somethign happens to your child it is no ones failure but your own.
What would have been an excellent day for me has turned me into a ball of negative energy. I read reports here that Sprint stores were letting the Nexus S go early. Boy was I ready. Since there are only two stores I can drive to, I called the nearest one, an hour away. I ask the rep twice, If I make the trip, can I land a Nexus S today. Was told twice, sir we have the phone and yes we will sell it to you. I can't tell you how excited I was to hop in the car and take off like a bat outta hell. I pushed the S2000 to 100+ over the overpasses flying by cars thinking, get outta my way I'm getting the Nexus S *****es. I pull up hop out the car, don't even remember pulling the key from the ignition right? Well I get inside first thing on the agenda is to sit down and "play/test" the phone out a bit. Explore the gingerbread OS, determine if I REALLY want to drop 200 after just getting the Epic full price. They hand me the phone no hesitation let me play. Didn't take but 5 minutes, decided, sure let me blow my upgrade, I want the Nexus S from a development standpoint. To have pure google, and to have seemless rom options in the future cause I know the major devs will support it. Also to help me understand the lower levels of pure android to help bring that to the Epic which I plan on continuing to work on. Hell I was planning on keeping both phones. The woman goes to get me the new phone, box, etc... Manager approaches, ask what's going on. What's going on is I'm about to leave another satisfied customer. NOT. Manager says he "just received word via e-mail" he can't sell it. I explained I called ahead and drove from out of town to get it. He tells me "that's not far to drive come back sunday". You ************. I left the store before I opened my mouth because that usually ends in my vent cut short by police who then have to take the rest of my vent, which ends up in a trip to the local jail until I calm my temper down. It's really hard to raise it but when I'm heated, it's hours before it falls. Needless to say I been on the phone with the owner of the store who is very considerate, considering I'm not polite at this minute. She is taking my rant telling me it's deserved (despite the fact she's at home obviously dealing with family and life). We work out a deal that is NOT me getting the device.
So what's the point of this all? beside me ranting? I hope one thing comes of this thread. Whomever is responsible for my waisted drive, (its not the lady on the phone when I called, she put me on hold while going into the back to ask permission, the guy who gave her permission points his finger at the district manager who had "just sent the email" that I found was lie, the store owner tells me they got the do not sell e-mail 4 hours before I even called). So whoever is truely to blame, and I'm sure I know and looked you in the eyes. Eat a bag of dicks, and enjoy the trouble your now in.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not at all mad at the fact that they couldn't sell the phone early, I expected that from the first call. I'm pissed at the fact I drove down there and back for NOTHING. Does he/she not understand, we are in the middle of a recession, in Louisiana where there are NO jobs left in my town since the oil field was tanked by the spill. I'm busting ass for just over minimum wage till the work returns, and I attempt to drop 200, plus burn a tank of gass to get this device, and get strung along? ****ers.
Alright Rant Over, I'm ordering from Google, and I'll get over it, but the Houma Park Ave. store will never see me again after buying the Moment and Epic last year, then first thing this year headed to go get the Nexus. Thats 1010.00 in phones in 13 months.
Failure all around... I despise incompetent employees who find it fun to screw customers around.
Hope you have a good radar detector... they (EDIT: they? Who's they? The guy who did it.) should be paying for your gas.
I would say anger management and a new hobby might solve this problem. I'd say "not to sound like a jerk" if I hadn't already, but you need to stop worrying about keeping up with the jones' about phones. They're going to come and go and have their advantages and disadvantages, but freaking out, making a choice to drive a long distance on a longshot that you clearly were sceptical about and then getting nearly irate over the fact that a retail manager got overridden on selling you it while you lolly-gagged on getting the thing you drove over an hour for sounds ridiculous and makes me wonder where your priorities are. (Pardon the atrocious grammar) If you got there and it didn't blow your mind were you going to come here and type a long rant about how Samsung wasted your time making you drive an hour to make a phone you weren't impressed with? Keep working hard, yes, but stop loudly blaming others because you aren;t satisfied and stop getting so worked up that you land yourself at the police station, that's just acting like a child.

My priorities are where they need to be I own all my possession, don't pay bills sept insurance and phone. I save and splurge on what I want. Driving an hour isn't rediculous when you live in a ghost town in the middle of nowhere and I was making 3 times the money when I got the Moment and Epic. Second part, I wouldn't complain about the S because one thing I do is diligent research on electronics before I buy. I'm still getting it because I want it already knowing I'm downgrading from the Epic seeing as the the S can't record in 720p, lacks a front facing camera, and doesn't even have a stock movie player. Oh forgot you can't unmount the SD and pop in another one. I knew what I was headed there for but I do expect a company be it a retail store or anyone to keep true to their word. That kinda was the point of calling ahead of time....twice. About the police you'd just have to live here to understand, getting in a verbal confrontation with a business owner is a reason to arrest alone, disturbing the peace. I closed my mouth and exited the store, so no childish acts there, I came here to vent instead . But by all means, your entitled to your opinions the matter not to me so I'm not hating on you for your post, **** I expect worse here shortly .

No worries. Was just wondering and your answers all make sense. Points of view and descriptions of regionalism can easily bring things into perspective when high-tuned emotions are no longer driving thought. I still don't trust corporate America if I had 2 phone calls and a signed contract unless I had a million in the bank for legal fees to back my opinion up.

I'd be more worried about laser with them boys.
First, S2000 is a cute little car. Where you driving with the top off? It would probably cool down your temperature afterward.
Second, I would have pissed all over the store, and take a crap on the table inside manager office (if he/she has one).
Third, I would take off running out the store with the phone.

As far as my hobbies, since the decline of the economy, which I don't even much feel but others around me lost everything, android is keeping me sane until I'm allowed to personally feel productive again. I've been into hacking and tweaking the phone and it really give me that since of accomplishment, that's why I'm gadget jumping. I don't plan on stopping development for the Epic to move to the S, I'm planning on adding more options to what IS my hobby. I don't even plan on buying another device after this one. I said plenty times before, when the development phone from Google is supported on Sprint, I'll gladly jump on it. Until now I could only sit back and watch T-moble get the glory. I bought the Epic cause the original S was close but I never expected us to get one. It was like christmas for me.

LMFAO, much needed smile there! Top down both ways, it's hot as hell in Louisiana right now. Perfect weather before the rain season spoils it.
Must be a requirement
Most of the 3rd party stores have suck ass employees.
They are as clueless as Inspector gadget.
If i really need an answer ,or something done right i go to a" sprint corp store" point blank.
Ok if any 3rd party employees read this, dont take it personal but its true.

I have to disagree. I realized ever since I've bought a cellphone it has always been from Best Buy and I've always been satisfied with sale, service, and warrantee/guarantees.

Corporate stores follow the rules strict. The only chance of getting it was a retail store since they "sort of" govern themselves. Awell, 3 more days

Yay, Louisiana's a ****hole. The one thing you can rely on here is that someone will **** something up and then act like it's your fault.
I can't wait to leave this place.
Hey guys so apparently i own an iPhone 6 Plus. I had my note 4 in my back pocket for maybe an hour or so and when i was looking at it the next day, i noticed it had a slight bend in it starting at the volume rocker. Along with the phone bending, it also sent a hairline crack through the display which is really small but its still there. I tried to get a picture of it but its so fine it was rather hard. My question is do you think the samsung warranty will RMA it and also folks, keep those notes out of your back pocket.
Like i said the pictures dont really show the damage well but trust me it is there.
It was a dumb decision to put the device in your rear pocket. These phones are extremely rigid compared to an Iphone 6.
99% Samsung will laugh you off the phone.
1% They might "Hook you up"
Wow.. Seriously.. Lol. . Why would you have your phone in your back pocket to start with?

Why man why?
On a serious NOTE, i dont think they will cover that in your warranty if you say that you put your phone in your back pocket..

That's a tough one..... But you never know unless you try. Sammy might replace or repair your device. Keep us posted on the outcome

True, but some of these guys are mostly chick these days. So thats probably why.
Maybe benjewman is actually a chick. That could explain it. I put (correction: used to put) my phones in my back pocket occasionally too. Can't really explain why.... just wanted to give a little support. Nobody likes getting kicked when their down.
@benjewman, do you have insurance on it?
no i am not a chick
no i do not really know why i put the phone in my back pocket, it is convenient with such a **** huge phone. yes i do have insurance but id rather not pay for my dumb mistakes.
i think the point your all missing is that the phone still bent when it isnt supposed to and smasung put out a video demonstarting that it shouldnt bend under butt pressure but it still did which is why i think they would take care of it.

I was actually going to post the same video. If they're going to advertise like that, they should stand behind their claims. I'm a guy and I put my phone in my back pocket. Why? Well, it would be awkward to walk with it in a front pocket, I don't always feel like carrying it around, and I don't want a belt holster. The only other option would be to carry a man-bag and I'd really rather not.
Edit: I should add that I always take it out of my pocket before sitting down. I just hold it or sit it close by if I'm sitting.

What i am the only loser that carries in the back pocket?
I manage an entire shop the reason I bought an note 4 so that I could have all my documentation with me and take quick notes where else would you put it? I'm only a hundred and sixty pound guy but I must have sat on it 200 times by now and never had a problem. If you say a clip on holster and give him grief then I just don't know what to tell all you geeks, old men and chair surfers. Holsters snag on everything flipping your phone out and when out of style with the Dukes of Hazard and there 4"folding knife. Your front pocket pinches something I would rather not have pinched unless its my wife andd your front shirt pocket looks worse than a pocket protector and also falls out.
Just use your insurance its not like it was a stupid mistake that's what you get it for.
So flame away lol.
But seriously just have it replaced
Send from STOCK NOTE 4

Pay for the insurance and stop sucking on everyone else's tit for a free handout.

finally some one that agrees with me and hasnt called me a fat chick. i see it is they say their product can live up to a specific type of abuse and i proved it cant so they should therefor be liable for it. at least a little bit
Why would you be surprised that the phone will bend if you sit on it? I mean... isn't it obvious?
Whole thread is nonsense. Your a bone head plain and simple. Would never carry a $600 device in my back pocket.
Look at this. ...... Galaxy Note 4 Bend Test: http://youtu.be/SDIu-GcX5aM
If I were you, I'd call and tell them it should not have bent from what is normal use. You didn't drop it, and you didn't put it through anything any one of us wouldn't also. They should (should being the important word; who knows what they'll do) fix it, free of charge.
Good luck.
Edit: Wait a minute. Were you walking around, or did you sit on it? Because if you sat on it, you kind of deserved it.

I don't want to go off topic but that mentality is partially, if not mostly in place because of the older generations bad parenting. Simple as that. Children, teenagers behaviors are a big reflection of the level of parenting they had. I do agree with you but the reason for that mentality had to be made clear.
As for the OP, I'm willing to say you got a "bad" device. Just as anything can go wrong with any piece of technology or car. This definitely isn't a known issue so definitely an odd occurrence. But as others had said, I would never put a phone in a back pocket. Not only can you risk breaking it, but it can also fall out.
Please don't sit on your phone and then act surprised when you damage/destroy it. It is an electronic device. I am looking around my house at all my electronics and I am having a hard time finding one that I would sit on (Laptop, Astro A40 Headset, Monitor, Scanner, Printer, TV, PS4, TiVo, NEST Thermostat, Blender, George Forman Grill). I mean really?
Solution for not wanting to put your phone in one of your front pants pockets: STOP WEARING SKINNY JEANS!
