This strikes me as a bug since the behaviour is incredibly consistent, but perhaps someone here can help me.

I want to use the google developed calendar app as my main calendar app. My phone (a Galaxy S2) came with a samsung developed calendar app (both very conveniently named "Calendar"). At this point, I simply want to disable the samsung calendar app from displaying any sort of notifications (since the google app also displays notifications and I want to use that app).

I have been able to do this by going to settings->Notifications in the samsung app and toggling to "Off".

However, as soon as I restart the device, the notifications are back on their original settings. Anyone else experience this? Anyone know how to make the settings stick?

EDIT: I notice the notification settings of the google developed app (sound, default reminder time, popup) are also not sticking after reboot. Is my device broken? It seems to only be for calendar. Gmail and other apps hold their settings fine.

EDIT 2: Ok, so disabling the samsung app allows my google app calendar settings to stick after reboot. So looks like that is what I will be doing. Anyone know how I can change the vcs file association to this app now?


Question: SQL Server 2000 - 'Performance: Deadlock'
Answer: While this counter says /sec, I believe it is a cumulative counter. If I'm right, this means you have had a TOTAL of 2 deadlocks since the service has been up.

I'm not at a machine where I can test this, but I suspect that if you simulate your own deadlock - once - you'll suddenly be getting 3.0 deadlocks "per second" until another deadlock occurs or you restart the service. 

There are many scripts out there that will help you force a deadlock, basically:

-- window 1

Create table dbo.x(a int); create table dbo.y(b int);

Insert dbo.x(a) select 1: insert dbo.y select 2;

Begin transaction;

Update dbo.x set a = a + 1; 

-- window 2

Begin transaction;
Update dbo.y set b = b + 1;
Update dbo.x set a = 5;

-- go back to window 1

Update dbo.y set b = 22;


Now, if the counter goes up to 3.0, you know what to do: go find that pesky alert and disable it, or keep getting the alert but become desensitized to it unless the number changes drastically.
