Farewell nexus 7 - fire - Nexus 7 General

I lost my nexus 7 in a house fire.. Nov 18, 3am. :'(
Everybody got out.
People... store your important data in 2 different physical places..or encrypted (aes256 or better) on the cloud. or you may lose it all like me.
All I got grabbed from my house was my phone.
I will probably buy a nexus 7 once we get a place to live and I can afford one again.

Nasty, sorry to hear that.

yeah, thanks everyone..in the event I found it, maybe I'll post a pic.
my brother found his, but the screen was cracked and was a little damp/smoky/sooty. but my room's whole floor halfway fell down to the next story. I found my laptop but it was burn to a crisp. I pulled the hdd, and am hoping that it might just work.

Man, that really sucks. The nexus 7 can be replaced. Thank god everyone got out safely.

Some people would say that unless data exists in at least three separate places it doesn't exist at all.
Living things only ever exist in one at once. Glad you all still do.

Thanks everyone.
Our house was over 100 years old and had some problems and we couldn't afford insurance or to get it up to code so that we could get it insured.. we heated with wood, but that was not the cause!
it was electrical, started in the front basement and burned up, then over, until the firemen got it out finally. It was 5 stories tall, built on a hill, so the back part of the house didn't burn.
Sadly my room was in the top attic floor in the front of the house and my whole floor collapsed. I have my phone and motorcycle, but I'll have to get a new key.
But we have been showed kindness by friends and neighbors, the salvation army and the red cross. We're staying at a friend's place for the time being.
The good news is we bought a foreclosed house like a year ago, so once we get it fixed up we will have a place to call our own again.

Have you been seriously hurt in an accident?

I got in a motorcycle accident yesterday and it made me think how easily I could have been killed. All I was thinking about was my inspire 4g and how it cracked in that accident. So I'm wondering have you been in accidents. How were you hurt?

I was on a bus that crashed once....
The driver had a heart attack of the motorway and ploughed into one of the roadside overhead signs....
Lots of broken glass, screaming women and children, nobody was seriously hurt except for the driver who had to be cut free as he was pinned I'm his seat by the sign he hit.
After we got out through one of the windows most of us were helping others down because it was quite a drop but some dude started taking photos straight away without doing anything to help so this other guy went over, grabbed his camera and smashed it on the floor
The guy across the aisle from me got cut up really bad because the windows on that side all smashed and showered them with glass and I couldn't help thinking about how lucky I was to have sat on the other side....
I was pissed because id paid nearly £200 for a ticket to see cream and thought I wasn't going to make it. Luckily though after 3 hours in Watford A&E I just made it to london on time....
@mtm... There was a news article about it with a pic but I can't find it so it didnt happen

Few years ago dad was riding into London, behind a MPV in stop go traffic.
A woman coming the other way didn't see him behind the MPV, thought it was a gap in the traffic and floored it to turn down the road beside him.
He was sent flying, bruised lungs, damaged shoulder and broken pelvis.
Thankfully there was a doctor in the car behind so the ambulance was sent out with a better idea of what to expect.
They had to resuscitate him several times on the road.
His pelvis will never mend fully, and for about 6 months when he sat down he said it felt like his organs were falling out through his pelvis.
He now walks bow legged with a slight stoop.
Initially the woman tried to deny liability but eventually pleaded guilty, getting a measly 3 points and £60 fine for nearly killing someone (in the UK the car is the best murder weapon with the lowest penalty).
He did get a reasonable insurance payout thankfully but that did take nearly 4 years.

Guys I'm back and DIDN'T stay with the BlackBerry!

Guys I got my BlackBerry Bold!
Had it for a day and.....it sucked! Well I though I could live with it but I missed going to XDA on my app. Facebook I barely use and Twitter I barely use!
Anyways when I traded my sister the Vibrant with the BlackBerry, my mom took it away!
She asked me if I had a business to be using it soooo much and she took it so she gave me one of those phones you get free when you sign up with ATT and I only have calling now....
Well that's a bout it!

Taking a break. I can only take so much XDA I do it every so often. You should know by now. But, i'm still around, just not usually in the OT forum. I like the accessories forums & general of my current home, the Atrix
LYT alan
I'm on OT so frkn much that I never go to the dev forums anymore.
BTW, how good is the Atrix vs the SGS2 and the Sensation? I'm torn between these three bad brothers
Id go sensation - The atrix is only just getting gingerbread whilst the sensation shipped with it and the galaxy s II has too much plastic

The: I got an iPhone forum

Hey everyone, it's true. I got a hipster white iPhone. And I love it!
Here's how it happened. I some how got water under my battery and it's cover (a decent amount) and I tried turning it on and charging it. It didn't start so I put it in rice, for two days nothing happened.
I needed a phone so I used my upgrade for the fruit phone. I noticed the battery life is amazing, like really amazing. I haven't jailbroken it yet because I'm starting to think its just waste of time. Unless your cracking apps...
Or tethering
Overall I couldn't be happier, I won't say I'm an I sheep because I don't even have iTunes on my linux machine so I only use pandora. But yes, I will buy the iPhone 5 unless the next nexus (jellybean 1) is able to feel as fluid as ios. No more exuces. Duces.
Oh yeah I found out the nexus battery got shorted out by the water so I just order the extended battery. So I'm braking my Optimus s and puting the nexus on. So yes I will still be around these parts of the Internet.
Also why is the iPhone forum here blank?
Feel free to post your android to IOS transition here I suppose.
Why aren't there more iPhone posts on an Android forum? I'd think that would be self-evident. >.>
Glad you're enjoying your iPhone, dude.

will write more later

Sorry, but every time i see a white iphone,
Either i, in my mind, see a chihuahua in a lv bag,
Or those fancy high-class socialites wearing fur coat having tea time and holding tea cup with the pinky raised.
For the OP and many others...in case you haven't noticed, XDA has a sister site (iphone-developers) where you can show all of the love for the iphone.
So post there . To the OP..one more and you are out of xda for sure.
