Rob you are an Inspiration. I look forward to reading your blogs. You have taught me a lot about autism. I wish there were more people in this world like you. It would be a better place. I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife and your 3 angels. Please continue to write on your blog and I promise I will do my part in helping others understand. I'm sorry for the dark moments you've been through but they made you who you are today.

what i do is when im at a gas station and someone comes up and says they ran out of gas and need money for gas. i tell them ok pull your car up to the pump and ill give you some gas. the sad thing is most of them at that point just walk away. they donnt need money for gas. they wanted it for drugs. im not gonna support that. ill help someone out but i dont hand out money. you know what i mean.

I support this message. I'm not usually one to support public campaigns, but Rob (ptfdmedic) is one of the most honest and giving people I have met as an Android developer - and beyond. The cause is truly a worthy one - 1 in 110 children are now born with autism.

If anyone is interested in donating to charity, please consider the Autism Research Institute. As noted by charitynavigator.org, they are the most efficient and highly-rated autism-fighting charity out there, and they support medical science in searching for a cure.

EDIT: Temple Grandin recently spoke at my university. I didn't get a chance to see her, but she's working on methods of greatly increasing humane practices within the meat industry. Ms. Grandin holds a PhD in animal science, and has been listed as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in the "Heroes" category. She gave a talk during TED 2010, has been interviewed by many major media outlets, and a biographical film about her won five Primetime Emmys. Ms. Grandin is autistic.

I will often spend a day off in my wife's classroom (of 7 autistic children, elementary aged). Any one who says these kids are retarded doesn't have a clue.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
You know there's no easy answer to that. Shortly after I published that story last month I had someone at xda contacted me. He told me that my story inspired him and he wanted to share this story. He said that he was at a gas station and he was approached by someone asking for help. Because he had just read my story he helped the man out and gave him some cash. He proceeded to tell me how good he felt doing that for someone. He then told that the next thing he knew the man he gave the money to hopped into a newer Jeep and drove off. Turns out he wasn't really homeless. The guys heart was in the right place and he had a sense of humor about it at least.

Sometimes people are dishonest and by sometimes I mean frequently. When I was approached last month at the grocery store I assumed he was looking for drug money as is often the case in my experience. It was only after I gave him a chance that I realized there was more at work here. Honestly I was cornered and wasn't physically able to get away. I turned out ok for me but it could have very easily been a dangerous situation.

Always put your personal safety first. Thats the only thing I would suggest to do 100% of the time. My point was that you just never know. Many of these people have a story and many of them are good people that the world failed. Some aren't. I wouldn't want my wife in a situation like that.

You guys are awesome. I appreciate the feedback and the stories. Even if you don't give them money all I was asking people to do was reserve judgement because you never know what's going on behind the scenes, if that makes sense. But ALWAYS stay safe and be smart. ;)
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
You know it took me a while to work up to watching that movie because it's really hard for me to know how cruel people can be especially to people with disabilities. I do have to say that after watching it I walked away with a much better understanding of my kids. That was a great thing to bring up. K0nane you never fail to impress me.

I really appreciate how this community has taken to this. It's truly amazing to me that something so unrelated to the general topic here can bring so many people together.

Thanks it really means a lot and it really does help. At some point one of you will find your self in a position where Autism crosses your path. Maybe your at a store or out to eat and someone is struggling with their child. So many people would jump to conclusions about the parents or the child. Maybe with what you guys have learned you could just offer them a few words of support or just a smile. I promise you it makes a difference...a very profound one. Families like mine are not used to kindness like that. Often times a kind word or an understanding smile it all it takes to make it through.

Thanks everyone

The actual statistics are 1/110 over all but 1/70 boys are diagnosed Autistic. That's a really scary number. If you follow the history of progression we're approaching a point where people that are considered to be "neurotypical" today will become a minority.

[Epic 4G General] i n00b teh pwns:
I'm a Sophomore in High School and my brother has Autism. I'm older than him, so I've been around it for my entire life. While I can't say I understand it(but really, who can?), I know I have a better understanding than most people my age. So many times I've had to listen to people ask me what was wrong with my brother and call him slow. I immediately correct them and inform them that he has Autism. I always have to explain what it is and they still never get it.

There have been many times where I've stood up for my brother and any Autistic child at my school. I don't regret a single moment or instance of it.
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
You are absolutely AMAZING. My middle child is actually the "older brother" to my oldest. He will most likely walk the same path you do. I never hear from siblings like you. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. You made my day.

Thank you.

[Xoom General] Visual360:
I haven't return anything big item (like the xoom) before, and I was just wondering if there's any instances that they refused to take a return for any reason or another?

Do they check/test/etc. the device before giving you a full refund?

While I'm pretty happy with the device, the screen always bothers me. I'm thinking if the Asus transfomer can match the built quality of the xoom, then I'm returning mine to get it. This is if my assumption is correct that the IPS screen on the transformer will be better than the xoom.

Thanks.
[Xoom General] Ignotus:
costco is that smart or resourceful to test the devices before accepting returns. Sounds like they just want to be tools.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Costco has a full unlimited return policy for any reason. They have a 90 day unlimited return policy for all electrics. It doesn't mater your reason. I have heard people say "well you have a newer model".

While it's certainly possible to abuse Costco's generous return policy, I'll answer the original question: they're great about it. Of course, they expect all shipped items and such to be returned, but they won't question the reasons nor deny a return. It's one of the reason why I buy all of my electronics from them.

[Xoom General] indabackofdalac:
Quite honestly your uncle sounds like someone that will eventually ruin return policies like this for us all.

Regardless, to stay on topic, I second everyone else with the fact that they really will take items back for any reason. I believe they used to have a "return at any time for a full refund" policy (except PCs, which were 180 days), but they had to change it back around 2007 or so. The current policy is still fantastic.
[Xoom General] p2flol:
Yeah they don't even check it, I returned in 3 in 1 week till I got a perfect one. No questions asked.
[Xoom General] Visual360:
Are you serious? In related question, does the 90 day return policy resets everytime you make a new purchase after returning an item? That's just incredible.

True but he could return the Xoom to get the Asus Transformer, then return the Transformer to get the SGT 10.1 down the road. Of course, this is based on if Costco carries the Transformer & SGT 10.1.

[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Seriously, the computer system they use is from 1983. I don't think Costco can track anything but dollar amounts.

I once had to get a refund on a cart worth of items because I used the wrong card (or so I thought, the receipt only shows the last few numbers of the card, and every Amex ends in the same numbers...). I waited for 30 minutes as a lady keyed in every item by hand.
[Xoom General] Robertjm:
Contrary to what some are suggesting, Costco DOES keep track of items. In the past my father purchased a VCR, but we ended up returning it because it ate tapes virtually from the start.

Our problem was that we couldn't find the receipt. They were able to look up the purchase using the Costco card number, and printed off a new receipt to include with their paperwork.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
You are correct, everything you buy is stored with your membership. WE DO NOT TRACK RETURNS, ie return the xoom 500 times in 500 days, and they will give you another one. *in the usa

so i dont really know how to use adb, which is the primary method from this post. so it said i could just copy these files into my /system/apps folder using Super Manager. i did this. it says "no install". when i click each apk and click install it doesnt work. does this have to do with permissions? and how do i set the permissions?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
install CWM from the post you had in method 2 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019143), which can be installed straight from your phone. you must be rooted. then, download the webtop ZIP from that same post (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=558897&stc=1&d=1301785902) and put it on your phone's internal SD card (the onen that says MB860 when you plug in to USB to your computer).

follow the instructions to install CWM properly and reboot into recovery mode, run from ZIP, select the webtop ZIP, and you're done.

all these steps are gone into more detail in the thread you linked to.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
did you replace your original apks when you copied them over with super manager? when you plugged in the HDMI cable before everything, did it work (at least the entertainment center output)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VM0824:
well i just recently flashed to 4.1.26. so it was working then.

then, yes, i copied the files over with super manager, which is when plugging the hdmi cable stopped working. so i then tried the cwm and it failed. do you think its because i had copied the files over with super manager?

is there a way i can just install the file? the right ones are there they just won't install :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VM0824:
also im noticing that my wifi is buggy. like it'll say connected but wont have a connection. is this from flashing to 4.1.26? wouldnt updating to 57 have fixed this? i have to literally turn off wifi to allow the phone to use over network instead.

still stuck with hdmi prob too, dunno if this effected it, but after i flashed i used titanium backup to restore all the files. would this have reapplied whatever was buggy? it still let me update after i did the backup (in .26) so i assume whatever was stopping me from updating wasn't reapplied.

but still nothing when i plug in hmdi cable :(

I installed CM7 (RC4) to a SD card following the instructions im http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 and it works fine. Initially I couldn't get it to install the gapps, but I reinstalled putting both the CM7 and gapps zip files on the boot partition. I later put the Dalingrin OC kernel zip file on the boot partition, but when I reboot, it just ignored that instead of installing it.

Is there another way to upgrade the kernel?
[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
You did exactly this?

OC Kernel installation instructions:

After you have a running CM7 by doing the steps above.

Get CM7 OC kernel from Dalingrin's thread. Unpack the zip file, the result should be a file with the name "kernel" and some other stuff. Rename the kernel file to uImage.

Shutdown your nook and take the uSD card out (make sure the nook is not plugged into USB bus or it'll boot into eMMC then).

Plug the SD Card into the computer, copy uImage file you just created to the first partition (the partition name would be "boot") instead of the existing file with this name (might want to save the original file just in case).

Now you are ready to go again.

You'll need to repeat these steps every time you upgrade to a new nightly build, because they carry their own kernels with them.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stparker38:
I need help. I was talking to a guy that claimed to be a developer of Splashtop, which allows you to run your laptop remotely from your tablet. The app was initially created for iphone/ipad, but is available in the Android market. I was so impressed with the app and how fast and seamless it runs your laptop programs that I purchased without question. Well I have a question: how do you connect to it remotely while away from home? I have turned on laptop, turned off auto shut down, and turned on splashtop on the pc. Everytime I have tried to connect away from home I get an "out of reach" message. I have been as little as 5 miles away. If anyone out there has knowledge of what I may be doing wrong please let me know. The guy told me this should work from anywhere just as long as my computer is turned on and running splashtop.

Thanks!!

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlazinGTI:
I'm actually wondering this also. Does anyone have any insight?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clovis_ll:
Yeah i got the splashtop and to make it work outside your home network, you must do port forwarding.

i uninstalled it because now, i keep getting drop connections and if i reconnect, it gives me error saying it is already being accessed by another device. this was both on my home network and accessing it from the outside. it was great but not anymore.

sorry for the rant. :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Hmm

For the price it's probably not as good as some of it's competitors, which are closer to 5x the price of this. I would attribute it's lack of quality to the problems such as devices being already connected etc.

As for distance, it makes no difference, the most important thing to do is make sure that if you have a router, it must have the necessary ports forwarded to the computer you want to connect to.

Personally I try to avoid remote desktop and instead try make everything i might want from home accessible via web-apps or various servers.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dro1dfan:
I don't have the app so I'm just giving some general comments:

Im assuming it works over wifi?

1) Maybe you need to enter the ip address of your home and name a port? then get the router to port forward to your laptop?

2) If it works over wifi, then if your router has the option set up a VPN. then connect to it when ur away from home - then its exactly as if ur xoom is connected to the local network itself
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stparker38:
Port forwarding is a new concept to me, so not sure how to do it, but you guys have given me a new thing to Google.

I assume this is similar to Wyse Pocket, and i have never had issues connecting via 3G. Is this a better app?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dro1dfan:
well your router gets its internet then shares it via with the rest of your computers.

Port forwarding takes all the data from a specific port and forwards it to a specific device.

to start you have to assign ur computer a static ip address (again through your router) then forward all data to it. sorry i cant be more precise but the procedure varies between routers. I have never used the ATT Uverse. Honestly the best thing to do is have a browse thorugh ur manual or google for a guide

try this site to see if your model is listed. if not choose a similar model and try to do similar steps
