Hate to hear that. I'm so careful this phone is soo slippery (tpu case went bye bye) I hold it with the 5 fingered Focker kung-fun-death-grip when pulling it out of my pocket. The worse thing is letting others hold it....like they're holding my infant!!
i do have insurance, thankfully. not sure i wanna go through the hassle just yet. not sure how insurance will handle it either being so new. anyone have experience?
fortunately, most of the damage is near the top of the screen and really doesn't impair the image/digitizer underneath. not sure if the front camera will continue to be usable but miraculously the cracks splintered around the lens.
we'll see how long i can go with it. maybe the screen+digitzer will pop up somewhere. i haven't looked much but it appears nothing is available yet.
i forced myself to run, rather than backstep 10 paces into my place and reach for the beer. i've got a race this wknd too so had to de-stress it out. good ol' shiner usually gets me tho
Give Me Strength
Daughter wants a <cough, hack> iDontKnowWhy 4S for her 16th Birthday. Why? Because all the friends have them and they iChat or whatever. This after having to get her a Bold last year for the same reasons and BB Messenger. Of course, she's 16 almost, so do I stand a chance of convincing her to BE the trend-setter by going Android? Of course not.
Wish me luck.
Anyone have a line on a cheap 4S?
It is beyond me why anyone would NOT want to secure their phone, but I guess there are plenty of people out there in Nexus Land who see no need to. And that's fine. In case of of loss or theft, though, I want to make sure that anyone finding my phone will have a hard time logging in: until I make it impossible for them by locking it with Lookout. To each his or her own, I guess
I quite like face unlock. No, it's not infallible and it does poorly in various lighting conditions, but I find it works more often than not. Considering what a pain it was for me to pattern unlock my Droid dozens of times throughout the day, face unlock saves me considerable time getting into my phone on average. Again, to each their own, but I had to throw it a little defense
Okay, I'm done... I think
Anyone? XD
Well I thought the whole idea was finding a wireless method. If you wanted a wired method, you could have just used the official Android File Transfer application.Anyone else using this? I had been using AirDroid, but EarlyMon is correct about it bring s-l-o-w, especially when trying to copy AVI files.
I installed and setup swiFTP, and I am able to connect from my Mac (using FileZilla) to /sdcard, but I can't write to any of the subdirectories as they all 766 and Root Explorer claims I can not change their permissions. I also tried writing directly to /sdcard (which is 777) but FileZilla gave me an error and stopped.
Anyone know what the "trick" is to using swiFTP successfully with the Nexus? Or, what is the latest preferred method for copying large files from a Mac to a GN?
EDIT: Never mind. On a whim, I connected my phone via USB to the Mac and it immediately connected as a media device and opened a window for the sdcard. I'm copying files as we speak. Who knew it could be so easy?
I don't really know, but I'd probably avoid letting it rename something if there's any chance it could muck with the Program Files directory.
I posted on other sites as well, thanks for your input!

On a sidenote, could anyone tell me a little more about FTP servers? I realize that might be rather vague, and that this thread isn't really a computer science crash course, but I know nothing about the concept and would like to learn more. The Wikipedia pages on the topic are convoluted with all sorts of jargon and acronyms that are way over my head. Thanks in advance.
