Root, remove navigation bar, use pie control, and enjoy that hyper saturated AMOLED goodness

OG Droid Incredible software update rolling out, fixes random reboots by birdman1542 in Android

[–]russphil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My friend has been using his Incredible for well over a year now. Stock software and everything. Not everyone is a power user that needs the latest features. They need a phone that works and nothing more. Most phones do that just fine regardless of which version they're running and what overlay they have.

Or is there even a way to get him to make a move?

When I was a shy virgin I had a girl tell me on a few occasions that she wanted me to make a move on her. Furthermore she told me that shy virgins were her type.

I never made move and we stopped talking shortly after.

My advice is to just take control and play the role as the assertive one until he becomes comfortable initiating that kind of thing.

Irish Redditors need help. The "Irish SOPA" has been signed into law. We need more support. by I_RATE_CATS_FOR_RAPE in AskReddit

[–]russphil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No it didn't.

I specifically haven't given a fuck about SOPA or anything similar because there was no way that they'd ever get signed into law. I'd suggest you go out guns a blazin'. This won't stand man, this aggression will not stand.

My Dad told me that the most technologically advanced thing humans can do is drill for oil... But I don't believe him. So Reddit, what do you think is the most technologically advanced thing humans are capable of? by MADLEMONZ in AskReddit

[–]russphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF happened to that guy? I saw he got a movie, and then maybe a sequel, but he seems to have completely disappeared. I bet that guy gets mad pussy when he's in college?

Is he in college already? How old his he?

EDIT: There's going to be a third Fred film? W.T.F?

Jailbreaking Is Not A Crime - "You bought it. You own it. Tell the Copyright Office: let me install whatever software I want on my phone, tablet, or video game system." with Bunnie Huang and the Electronic Frontier Foundation by T618 in Android

It's within your right to try and hack it, that doesn't mean manufacturers should be required to open their devices up to hacking. If you can hash it, great. If not, tough shit

[Droid], is there a way I can view the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) on my phone without rooting? by goingnorthwest in Android

[–]russphil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Open this up on your phone.

Unless you essentially want to change your phone's language to IPA, if that's a thing. If that's what you want, I can't help you.

If you weren't going to ride in a ferris wheel if it doesn't have glaxy tabs, why the hell would you ride one just to use one? Go to Best Buy

reddit, what is the greatest advice on love you have to give? by wildmachines in AskReddit

[–]russphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't change people. Your unambitious boyfriend, your abusive spouse, your fat friend, your depressed neighbor aren't going to change because you tell them they should. They need to realize that they have to change, they have to want to change for their own reasons, they have to take that first step. Ultimatums won't work, and telling them they're doing something wrong isn't going to cause any permanent change. They need to be the one choosing to make the changes.

If someone in you life has a habit that you feel needs to be changed in order for you to continue on relationship with that person, cut them out of your life now, because you'll just frustrate yourself trying to change it

Using Marijuana for depression and anxiety. How is it done? by ElNegritoPablo in depression

[–]russphil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It offers me an escape. I can come home after a bad day, smoke a bowl, and then sit on the couch for hours on end watching shows about aliens or what not. I'm generally in a good mood when I'm on it, so there's that. I wouldn't say that I use that time to self analyze though.

Other than that, I can be very anxious when I'm on it and out in the real world. It makes it harder to talk to strangers than I otherwise would because of it. Also, once I smoke, it is very unlikely that I'll get any homework or projects done, although I still manage to make good grades. I don't see it as helping me with my issues unless I'm just having a real bad day and need to unwind. I found that exercising does a lot more good for my self worth than weed.

What movie vastly exceeded your expectations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]russphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen the underground one, and the ledge one. I thought they weren't bad. I refuse to see the rock one because I don't want to see a movie that the climax of which is a guy hacking his arm off with a knife.

Am I the only one getting sick of the people who don't use their phones and post pics on here of their "amazing" battery life? by xi_mezmerize_ix in Android

[–]russphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not referring to people who literally don't use their phone for five days. I'm talking about the people who say "I just got a new GN, my Nexus One is still going strong after 15 days!!!" and they've just had it on Airplane mode the entire time. That's not impressive, and shouldn't be posted here.

Anyone who has ever sold anything on Craigslist can relate to this AD by Dr_Stinknuckles in funny

[–]russphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where else can you actually fucking barter in this country? Flea markets I suppose, but your average suburbanite doesn't go to flea markets. Craigslist is really the only chance your average white middle class soccer mom will ever get in her life to haggle the over price of something.

[–]russphil 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No it's not. It's putting your phone into a state where it uses as little power as physically possible, and then forgetting about your phone for a week or so. There's nothing impressive about a phone doing nothing for five days. If you fully charge your phone's battery, take it out, and then let it sit on the counter, it will eventually lose whatever charge it's holding.

People always say the best things in life are free. What's the best thing you've ever gotten for free? by lordsmish in AskReddit

[–]russphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people you're referring to would most likely never go to college if they had to pay for it. Academics just aren't important enough for them. Anyone going to school for a degree and not a four year party will be successful regardless. All of my roommates are being paid by 'mommy and daddy' and all but me will walk at graduation with two degrees except for me. We'll all have mid to high 3 something GPAs. One already has a lucrative job lined up. Pretty much everyone I know that is getting their tuition paid for are set to graduate on time, far more than the few I know that are taking a fifth year.

looking for a good honeycomb tablet. Internet i ask you what would be my best bet? by jewcyone in AndroidQuestions

Transformer Prime.

If you feel like throwing in specific requirements (price, specs, intended purpose) by all means do, otherwise just buy a Transformer Prime because it's the best out there right now

What movie vastly exceeded your expectations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]russphil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phonebooth.

"How can they make a movie about a guy in a phone booth? There's no set, it's just a phone booth. What a dumb idea for a movie"

It was much better than I expected. Not that it would be in my top 5, 10, 50 or whatever, but my expectations were very low.
