I hate how many people complain about email signatures, just disable it if you can root you should have no reason complaining about email signatures.

Re: Stupid emaiil sig

I just ignore them, they are so common I just don't even pay any attention anymore.

Occasionally someone uses them in good humor to crack a joke ;)

I hate how people complain about people complaining about e-mail signatures. :p

What's root got to do with it? Just change it in the settings like I showed here.

Re: Stupid emaiil sig

Does anyone know the history of manufacturers/carriers inserting these advertisements as the default signatures?

I'd like to blame Apple for it, as they're the first ones I remember doing it (I don't remember ever seeing it on Treos or other early Windows phones), though that might just be because the iPhone was the first smartphone to be adopted so widely by people who didn't/don't know what they're doing - but that could just be my anti-Apple bias shining through.

On the one hand, it's kind of a brilliant move - on the other, it's an atrocity.

I believe the first device to do this was the sidekick years ago on AIM.. anything done with the sidekick would say 'via hiptop'

I'm changing mine to "Sent from my Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 HTC EVO 4G LTE Google smartphone powered by the Sprint Now Network. Get yours today on www.sprint.com/evo". :-$

The point of root is if you can adb.root and flash roms kernels & mods (most people on here) you shouldn't even be the last person complaining about anything that can be easily changed via settings lol, that'd what ticks me off

Why does that tick you off? You aren't allowed to complain about something even if you can fix it?

Its annoying and obnoxious. I'm happy Gmail app doesn't have a signature by default.

I actually like the signature option. It lets people know I'm on my phone so my responses will be somewhat truncated.

Its not even just about the sig...the sig is obnoxious for a default sig. Just have " sent from my phone" if anything.

Re: Stupid emaiil sig

What's root got to do with it?


... got to do with it?

What's root but a second hand emoticon?
What's root got to do, got to do with it?

Who needs an I-phone
When it can't be jail-broken?

It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused like a newbie
When the release date is close to me.

If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace on the forum
So, I've got cause to be...

There's a name for it (do a search)
There's a phrase that fits (search some more)

But whatever the reason, Phil
You do it for me....

[Chorus]

I've been thinking of a new direction - yea upgrade!
But I have to say,
I've been thinking about my own protection (otterbox)
It scares me to feel this way -- about a phone!

[Chorus]

What's root got to do, got to do with it?
What's root but a sweet old hacker notion?
What's root got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs S-off when dev-unlock is an option!?!



Thank you, thank you very much. I'll be here all week....
