It doesn't have to. Because they aren't giving away your info. They are just storing it and matching what the advertiser wants with what you want.

Here is what facebook has on it:

You can use your privacy settings to limit how your name and profile picture may be associated with commercial, sponsored, or related content (such as a brand you like) served or enhanced by us. You give us permission to use your name and profile picture in connection with that content, subject to the limits you place.
We do not give your content or information to advertisers without your consent.
You understand that we may not always identify paid services and communications as such.

As long as the pandora ToS states that they are allowed to store content/name/location/etc.. which it most likely does, then I don't see how this can be problematic.

And they do say that:

http://www.pandora.com/privacy

All the news media and everyone that is making this a big deal doesn't know the first thing about how advertising works, and are hyping it up as if pandora is actually going out and dropping your name/email/gender/age/etc.. to the advertisers. And thats not how it works. The advertisers give specifics for their campaign, and then pandora matches their specifics to their database, and delivers the ads.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Why doesn't it I just read both?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
They know how advertising works - they depend on it which is also why they run stories like this. As for everyone else, what you expect free stuff to not have some type of business model that takes advantage of your usage? Even if you pay for Pandora One you have or had the freedom to not use or subscribe.
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
you should actually read the article, instead of just the headline.

Pandora is not the subject of the investigation, and they were not the only ones subpoenaed.

subpoenas aren't only given to those who are accused of or suspected of a crime, they are information-gathering tools for law enforcement agencies.

I only see the noti light when i have a missed calls. Not in sms? Or is this normal?

You are wrong. The HTC 7 Mozart led flashes when you have a missed call or when battery is low, but not when you received a text message.
[7 Mozart General] Mogreen:
True!!My mistake

Hmm so i guess no notification for sms. Hmm hmm. Thats sad.

Thats sad but the notification light is here. Maybe later HTC will add support for SMS too...

[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
Has anyone noticed their NC is very sensitive to water on the screen? I find even if the tiniest few drops of misty rain land on it, it's fine for a few seconds and then once I try touching it, the screen totally glitches out and starts detecting spurious touches. If I sleep the screen and turn it back on, that usually fixes it.

In a city like Vancouver this could end up being a deal breaker ;-) I don't expect a water proof tablet but my touch phones like the Milestone and Nexus One have typically withstood little bits of moisture on the screen without impairing usability.

Repeatable test: Open MultiTouch Tester, wet your finger. Swipe it around the perimeter of the screen a few times. Wait a few seconds. Repeat. Wait a few seconds. At some point when you aren't touching the screen, you'll start to see spurious touches appearing on the screen. If you wait even longer for those touches to stop, then the screen will become totally insensitive to all input. Sleep and back on fixes it.
[Nook Color General] luciferii:
Theyre called screen protectors.. use em.

[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
Can someone confirm if the same behaviour persists with a screen protector?

I don't own a screen protector but I tried putting a piece of plastic wrap over top to test the behaviour. I wet my finger and trace a few circles on the screen through the wrap. I still get the spurious touches even though the water never contacts the screen. The moment I lift up the wrap, the spurious touches stop but the screen is again unresponsive. I have to sleep it off and on before it works again.

Since all screen protectors are some type of plastic or other, I have a feeling this problem would still happen with a protector.
[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
And here is my video showing the "experiment" (no protector/wrap).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-DD0Oltxfc

Again, same results with plastic in between the water and the screen.
[Nook Color General] fullthrottleenergy:
Had the same problems but putting on a screen protector fixed it. No random touches. No need to turn the screen off/on. So much better.

Using this one.
[Nook Color General] evilPERSOn2009:
confirmed. it still does it will screen protector. tested with ipad and itouch too see if this was a capacitive screen issue. water had no effect on those too devices.:mad: Doesn't really matter because I don't plan using this device outside in the rain.
[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
Well I wouldn't take it out in a torrential storm, but sometimes it's just "spitting" out as it often is in the Pacific northwest, and I'm reading a book or article at the bus stop. And then suddenly it's flipping random pages or launching unwanted apps.
[Nook Color General] sollord:
This is probably related to the common phantom touches people get. I know my nook some times register random touches from hovering fingers up to an inch from the screen.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Too much dirt/grease on the screen will also do it. The screen on the NC is (by default) very sensitive.. There are a few methods to "calibrate it", some of which say if you're touching it while calibrating the sensitivity goes down.

I've seen this several times myself, and yeah it's annoying because it goes NUTS. One time I had it remove an app from my launcher, launch another app, then change some settings. I was like wtff gaaahhhhh

No screen protector on mine.. I usually do on devices, just haven't on this one yet.
[Nook Color General] tech_head:
It's a capacitive screen. A drop of water can make the screen behave strangely because the capacitance of the screen changes where the water is. Multiple drops of water will drive the screen nuts. This isn't new. If you hands are too dry the screen won't register the touch.

It is how they work.......
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
BN brand matte (anti-glare) screen protector has completely, I mean 100% no lie, fixed this problem for me. In addition, the screen loses it's "tackiness". It's a pleasure using the screen now.

[Fascinate Accessories] nunyazz:
They just provide minimal protection from scratches. Basically a thick sticker. The do add a little grip to the phone though.

Gingerbread 2.3

I am currently looking to find a way to invert the settings menu. All the white bothers me. I have decompiled it and searched the pngs, and see none that represent a similar greyish white, so I feel it may not be a png. If it is, anyone know what png or where?

I know the menu_list.xml has a value for background = #ffffffff, which does match white. I change that to black (#ff000000) and menu_item.xml has an entry for TextAppearanceLarge, which does represent white text. I add inverse to switch to black text.

After compiling and adding to my phone, I can not find any physical changes. So I edited some of the text in the /values/strings.xml and test again. Now I see a change, but only change I see is to the text I changed. So no clue what the menu_list and item change. And still at square 1.

Any one have any input how to theme settings.apk?

[Atrix 4G General] Sanbourne:
I got a new charger for my old Toshiba satellite and got it up and running again but i really have no use for it. I got my multimedia dock in the mail today and thought about hooking it up to the laptop and using that as the screen instead of my main computer monitor. The laptop has a vga port so i was thinking it might be possible.

This would probably do better on a computer forum but oh well

The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 105
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
that is a VGA (analog) output port, not input, and the dock uses HDMI, which is digital. bottom line, no.

Ok so I took the risk to buy Klipsch S4i for my Epic 4G with Mic/remote control even though it was meant for iphone/ipod..etc. I read it works with samsung momment so I gave it a shot.

Go figure none of the Play/skip/volume controls work. However I thought at LEAST the mic would work when answering calls (W/ middle button) that's all I cared for, but It DOESN'T :mad:

When I hit the middle button it goes to Epic 4G's "Log" (Recent/missed calls) hit it again and it redials last #. However mic doesn't work when speaking at all. Hit the middle button during call, and it hangs up. Hold the middle button and it goes to voice dialer but nothing can be heard since mic doesn't work.

Is there anyway for the microphone to work at least? How does it work with samsung momment, don't they have similar drivers since its samsung??

Also Poweramp has headphones option to enable skipping songs, but not even that works :confused:

Again, is there any possible way to get any of the controls/Mic working with the Epic 4G? Anything to install software side or is it straight hardware problem?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab General] TheEvander:
I'm running the stock rom on my rooted t-mobile tab, and today i've suddenly started having issues with the Android Market. At first thw problem was with certain apps (ones that needed updates) not downloading, but now it seems as though the majority of apps have disappeared from the market altogether. Everything looks right on my myTouch 4G, so I know that the issue is local to my tab, but I have no idea what that issue is. I've gone in to the settings and clear the market app's cache, as well as uninstalling updates, and it has done nothing.

Please help. I'd rather not have to wipe everything and just hope for the best. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Try clearing the market data under settings-applications. I think that worked for me.
[Galaxy Tab General] Landroid:

[Galaxy Tab General] TheEvander:
Clearing data didn't do anything. It fixed itself over time, thankfully, although there is now no record of any free apps I've downloaded (which means no update notifications, and is actually kind of an issue.)

Reading the reports about a new test market showing up on some devices I'm pretty sure thats what happened to me, because I do recall seeing content ratings on the few apps that were available. Too bad I didn't think to look for the google music app.
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:

Now, navigate to your home folder and there is a text file there for you. Pretty neat, eh?

Now, we need to navigate to adb. Go to your android-sdk-mac_x86 folder, open it. Now, go back to terminal, type cd and drag the folder Platform-tools to the terminal window. You should see a green dot with a plus sign in it, that means you can add the folder to the terminal window. It should read something like this:

Code:

cd /Users/Your Computer's Name/Downloads/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools

If you moved the android-sdk-mac_x86 folder (Like I did) after downloading it, it will only be slightly different. (My folder was in my home folder, so it just says /users/my computer/android-sdk-mac_x86/platform-tools)

Once you do this, you are ready to begin
