    Deaf Wanna-Be's

    Hearing interupt each other constantly, and do talk many at once in casual settings. That's all I remember of family conversation growing up - interupting and noise. My hearing friends often do the same. Maybe the people I know are strange? Posted from Alldeaf.com App for Android

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    I discovered the Note 2 has a feature called "My Call Sound". It asks a bunch of questions about what frequencies you can hear, then adjusts the call audio to match. I don't know how much difference it makes, as I don't make any calls - but it's worth noting.

    Yes, it is slippery. That is my only major complaint. I found someone to make the call for me. I hate having people speaking for me, but I couldn't get it to go through online. A new one is on the way. If you break one, be careful! The glass shards are a terrible hazard! It wasn't easy...

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    I tried to take a picture of how much snow we got, and my Note 2 hit the pavement. I'm devastated. :cry: I can't get my roommate's help placing the insurance claim. I'm not sure how to fix this mess. Even got glass in my hand. What a disaster. The Note 2 was awesome while it lasted. Well, I'm...

    tinnitus?

    I WAS so upset... Now that I know the whispers aren't insanity, it's just from the tinnitus... I'm beyond relieved. I really thought I was going insane. There is nothing I can think of that would be worse than loosing my mind.

    tinnitus?

    Anyone who knows me enough to be called my friend knows I have tinnitus. Those who know me well know it's why I don't sleep. I've never told anyone about the incoherent whispers. i didn't know that was part of the tinnitus. :cry: I haven't told my parents, best friend, doctor, not anybody. I...

    tinnitus?

    Voices can be tinnitus?! Does it sound like whispers?

    tinnitus?

    Yes. Loud ringing, I hear nothing else for a moment or two, and then back to its normal maddening level.

    I never knew tinnitus was sounds other than the constant ringing sound that drives me insane. Hmmm...

    Deaf Wanna-Be's

    For every aspect, adjective, situation, condition, medical problem, etc I live with, I have seen wannabes. I was once stalked by a guy who desperately "admired" 2 conditions I have, and mimicked both of them. I was never so freaked out in my whole life. Deaf wannabes don't really surprise me.

    For those of you who like LED notification, I got it to run a custom notification app. Bluetooth on has it blinking pink right now. You can change the colors. Its called Light Flow. It looks like I can pick a color for txt messages by a certain contact (ie orange for Al, green for mom) Also...

    Any usb charger labeled "High Power" should charge the Note 2 nicely.

    A 0.5.... it may take a day to a day and a half on a 0.5 amp. I had it on a 0.5 amp charger and it went up 2% in 4 hours. This phone is just too big for the older standard USB chargers.

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    Amps is a measurement of electrical current. Most USB chargers are between 0.5 and 1 amp. It comes with a 2 amp wall charger, but if you own other chargers, you may need to replace them. I have to replace my 0.5 amp car charger, and my 0.85 amp travel charger. The 1 amp charger in the living...

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    I've been using it a couple days. I can't judge battery life yet because of the charger issue I mentioned. Pros: GORGEOUS screen, very responsive touch. The Handwritten commands is a nice alternative to the voice command. (Ie - If I write "~ Jessica", it will open the text message app...

    Best Deaf Cell Phones? Samsung Galaxy Note II is one!

    I just got the Note 2. If anyone wants to know anything about it, see a screenshot, or wants me to check compatibility with an app, i'd be happy to help before you buy. Just an FYI, the note 2 takes 2 amps draw to charge properly. I had to replace my car charger even though I've used it on...
