Mate, i'll celebrate anything as long as you can toast it with an alcoholic beverage! :D

Edit: Persian new Year and celebration of Spring Equinox? Sounds as good a reason as any for a celebration to me! We have the ancient Druid celebrations for equinox here. Dancing naked around a bunch of old rocks, stuff like that. How do you celebrate it?

Edit2: Of course, in some countries it may be illegal to celebrate with Alcohol. CTM knows better than i, but in Scotland it's illegal not to celebrate with alcohol. Up there they celebrate everything. Even waking up in the morning!

I wonder how many days throughout a regular year there are official celebrations, regardless of race or religion.

We should get a calendar together and see how many days we can officially toast.

That's a great idea! I quite like boborone's approach though. Any day ending in 'y' is good enough reason to raise a glass! I know he won't mind me saying that.

Lol. That's only a tad more than I normally drink. Nah, just kidding. It'd be quite a challenge to do a year's worth of celebrating the official days though, but the last day of the year would be a MASSIVE celebration, to celebrate completing, and living, through it all.

[General Questions and Answers] moazzamahmed:
hi folks,

Anyone know of an article or have the answer to this? I have an app that we are developing. Data will be transferred between clients (iphone, android and win 7) to a database (sql server 2008) through web services.

What are the various architectural best practices we should implement? e.g,

encrypt data, use json, compression etc.

Right now our data transfer is pretty simple: data is in xml format, then we encrypt on client side, then call a web service on our web server which decrypts it, dewraps it and saves it to our database (passwords and other sensitive stays encrypted). However, we want to make our data transfer enterprise level. What are some best practices for this?

thanks much, in advance!

I recently purchased galaxy note and had dead pixel issue with it. So I got it replaced, and now the second one I ve got has this strange light greyish blemish visible on grey backgrounds. Also when I see the screen with grey color on it the screen doesn`t look uniform where as in all rest of the colors it looks uniform. Please have a look at the attached pictures and let me know if its normal ?

Also please set your brightness to 15% or below to check your devices.

Heres the video for better view:

Same thing happened to me. The 1st note I got had dead pixels and dust moving behind the screen. The second one had those dark lines on grey and white color... the first one had those too but not as much as the second one. I sent them both back for a refund. Don't know if I should try my luck on a third one..

I was looking for boot animations in the GS2 International section and found this glowing one made by janis605 Original thread. I found the down animation in Villain 3.0 and made a CWM install package.

What you get is the Glowing S animation when booting up and when you shutdown.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
Hi there! I had this problem with my Nexus twice now, that's why I'm bothering you.

Long story short - I plugged my phone to charge in the evening, woke up in the morning to find that the phone is VERY hot(area around the camera on the back) and switched off, and won't turn on. After doing a battery pull the phone switched on, the battery was full and the temperature was at 46C. It happened to me on the Monday night but I thought it is just something silly, but it happened to me today again. I was not using any hardware intensive application before I went to bed, just writing emails with my GF.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
ive left mine on overnight every night since saturday and its not overheating
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mintaeroboy:
Leave it in a chocolate tin to keep it cold, with ice below it, charge it in the morning and see if its a app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'd do a factory reset and see if it does the same after another night of charging with no apps on it.

If it does the same, the phones probably defective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
A chocolate tin with ice under it?? REALLY? :rolleyes:

Have you modded the phone since you got it? Like rooting or installing any mods.

How many apps have you installed on it? Any that may keep running in the background?

If it does it again then I would advise going into Settings, Backup & Reset and restore the phone to factory settings. Then put the phone back on charge for about 8 hours and sede if the temperature goes up again. As mentioned it may just be an app thats making the phone go hot but if it goes hot after a factory reset then you will need to send it back for replacement.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gr8hairy1:
The first thing to go from heat damage is the battery. 50 degrees celcius and up is in the battery killing temperature range.

As long as it's under warranty I guess do what you want. But I'd highly recommend setting up an app like setcpu to force a lower clock speed when temp>44 celcius, just to be safe. No sense in killing a battery while trying to fix the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jmbillings:
I leave mine on charge overnight, and it doesn't do this... so I'd agree with others in that it's either a rogue app or a duff handset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Didn't they say that one of the CyanogenMod devs was working with Samsung on the Nexus? Maybe he implemented "sleep of death" as a feature :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
The phone is not rooted, it's not running any mods. The only two applications that run constantly in the background are the DoubleTwist AirSync module and Llama profile manager(and the default weather+news widget). As both have not been tested with Android 4.0 it may be it. Is there any good app to display the current CPU usage by a process? Just like "top" in the console.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cja1972:
Don't know about it being hot but mine was on charge last night and died.Making me 2 hours late for work . Pulled the battery out and put back in and its fully charged ????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
That's pretty much the same thing that happened to me. Except that being hot explains the issue at least partially,as the phone will switch off when overheating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coleburns:
Same here, no issues with mine. Maybe do an exchange?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
I'll try it for one more charge after a factory restore. If it doesn't help then I'll get it exchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
Mine was on charge last night and showing 28% on screen. I rebooted the phone and when it came back on, it was suddenly showing as 48%.

I think the battery reporting may be slightly borked, but this could just be down to the battery being run in. I'm just going to keep an eye on it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djmcnz:
Free and simple:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.houmiak.taskmanager
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
Thank you, I have used different task managers but none of them displayed CPU usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
I have discharged my battery pretty much completely, and now I'm charging the phone again, with my battery monitoring app running - at 50% capacity now the temperature is 42C. Can it be normal? The task manager shows that no process is using any CPU time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gr8hairy1:
That is hot but not that bad. Upper 40's celcius (47-49) is not good. And 50 is critical. Download setcpu and downclock the cpu to 500mhz while charging to help keep the temperature low in case an app spikes cpu usage that doesn't show up in task manager.

Sometimes just flipping the phone so the back is exposed is enough to cool down a phone.

Keep in mind most electronics have solder that will melt between 120 to 180 degrees celcius (248 - 356 farenheit!). While your phone should never ever get close to that, 50 degrees celcius pales in comparison. But it can kill the battery.

Seems most people who have had the problem of their phone spiking in temperature only have it happen a couple times and that's it.

I really recommend setcpu as you can have it run your phone slower when it hits a certain temperature to help keep it cool. As well as sound a notification that it has past that temperature.

It will prevent damage while you try and find out what may be causing the spike.

Though 42 degrees celcius is relatively normal for charging temperatures.

For my phone I have it set at 44 degrees celcius. I'd rather catch it before it gets even close to bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
Thank you for your detailed explanation. Actually the temperature dropped later, averaging 35-36C between 80-100%. So the temps look good for now, but I still have no idea what caused the sleep of death issue....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dunetails:
Yeah,ive had this two nights in a row.i deliberately rebooted my phone and put it on charge last night to eliminate an app being the cause.

This pretty much makes the phone useless as an alarm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
I did a full wipe a few days ago - didn't have this issue ever since.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marco333:
Same problem. Temp CPU is really high (40°C +). I did a "restory factory data" yesterday but.. nothing changed.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spin_spinning:
Hi everybody,

I'm playing around with various ICS-ROMs (can't help myself, need to try new stuff :D) and one of the few things that are not in the cloud (and therefore must be backed up separately by me) are my text messages / sms.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? All help greatly appreciated!

[Galaxy S II General] slippyr4:
I upgraded (OTA) to XWKI4 and a couple of days later found that USB Host mode has dissapeared. Anyone know why?

I've done some googling but haven't found a lot about it.

I tried XXKI3 via ODIN and it's the same. The blue overscroll doesn't make up for the omission of major functionality.

Why would samsung remove this? Is it maybe just a bug in the kernel or have they deliberately taken it out for some reason?

I presume I can downgrade in ODIN. Bit of a hassle though. I might have to go down the custom firmware route sooner rather than later.
[Galaxy S II General] titillo:
that appen to me too .no USB OTG ,I have XWKI4 and SiyahKernel 2.1

sorry for my English
[Galaxy S II General] dannielangel:
move down the notification area and there click to connect to your pc. I guess this was made to optimized battery life, because before this is running on background which consumes battery and only needed if connected to computer via usb.

Hope this help you bro.
[Galaxy S II General] slippyr4:
Connect to PC != USB On-The-Go / USB Host mode.
[Galaxy S II General] kslw:
I'm running XWKJ3 with Speedmod kernel and USB OTG works fine. For me, the most reliable way of getting it to recognise the device is to plug in the OTG cable WITHOUT the USB memory device connected, then plug the USB memory into the cable. Other sequences sometimes don't work.

So I would give that a try if you're not already doing it that way. If it still doesn't work, you could try flashing Speedmod temporarily, and if still no joy, consider upgrading to KJ3.
[Galaxy S II General] alias_neo:
What are you after in particular?

If it's USB storage, that still works for me on KJ3, however, the ability to connect things like My DSLR to use D5KController (host mode) have gone, presumably because this feature wasn't introduced until API 11, and Samsung had it in there originally, maybe due to porting parts over for the USB storage, then realised it shouldn't be available and removed it.
[Galaxy S II General] slippyr4:
Thanks, I've tried that and it works (with mass storage).

Oddly, i'm fairly sure (although not 100%) that plugging in the cable (with no device attached) used to cause a notification (something about USB Host mode activated). It does not do that now.

At least I can access media on a memory stick again, that's good.

Thanks for that.

I've been using my SGN now about a week.

Excellent phone with only a few issues that I can find.

I had the ghost volume yesterday but I turned on and off and not had it since.

I seem to be missing my return button(next line) in my text message service, could be me missing something but when I send a text I don't get the large arrow at the bottom right. Its there on all other input methods.

Keep picking the phone up upside down.

I can't use the phone without a case really really slippy.

Other than that the phone is lightening fast responsive and the screen is too die for.

Get one , I love mine......

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] L60N:
My findings are the same as yours apart from the Vol issue, I havnt had it (im on Orange)

Phone is slippy

I too kept picking it up upside down but after now 3 days im instinctivly feeling for the hump on the back to orientate that to the bottom to get it the right way up.

I too dont have an enter key for texting, wtf? :confused:

In general use like browsing, the back round the camera gets really hot. :confused:

Phone is lightning fast but ive had far too many lock ups already, half a dozen ish. I hope the issues get resolved, I'll keep forwarding error reports. Im sure its just teething probs with the new OS. I hope its not the phone, im not exactly sold on Samsung quality.
