OMG!

(and thanks for finally "bringing it", for real),

but are we BOTH Yanks fans, too?

Does that mean we're obliged to be more civil to each other?

Cuz if you hate the Sox,

and you love the Yankees,

you have just automatically upgraded your seat in 'Coach' to a "I'll never eff with you again" seat in 'First-Class'.....

Now, do you see how beneficial this thread can actually be?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yankee fans equal cocky, obnoxious and loud people....Yup, you both fit the bill.

Now if we were all Mets fans, this world would be a much loving place......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
See you in October.

(Oh, wait....no we won't..)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Nah dude, I was right.....you an ugly mofo. lol

Seriously, I have the utmost respect for cops...Much respect to you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
Yeah, now with Reyes gone we are looking at maybe playoff bound in 2020 if we are lucky, but we always lose with a smile.

There is something to be learned here, you can be a loser and still make millions, just ask any Met player.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zeroinflux:
Just a bored grunt
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
As well with me, Honda.

Are you a NYC officer?

If so, which Borough?

I'd bet you have some stories to tell:

I'd actually love to hear about your most memorable days out there, and maybe this thread isn't the place for it....

Perhaps an AMA on Reddit or something....They'd eat that sh#t up.

(Also, I'd like to hear about your experiences....)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
LMAO I grew up blocks away from Yankee Stadium. My father even took me to a game in the 1978 World Series where I saw Ron Guidry pitch. So yes, I consider myself a devoted Yankees Fan. And yes, I despise the Red Sox but equally despise the Mets hahahaha

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
Actually guys, I was a Vice-Narcotics Detective in the Puerto Rico State Police for 9 years, 4 of which were deep undercover. So yea, I guess you can say I have some stories to tell. PR is a beautiful island but drugs are running rampant and slowly destroying it.

Now, I'm a county cop in Virginia for the past 6 years. Much less crime compared to PR (1,010+ homicides so far this year in PR compared to just 10 in my county). Sad but true.

Thanks for the compliments guys, really means a lot and explains why I have the sense of humor I exhibit around this place. :)

Nice thread happening here, cool to see the faces behind the usernames

That's even MORE interesting:

A deep-undercover Vice cop in our "51st" state?

I can't even fathom what kinda stuff you could tell us all about:

Dude, I'm a freaking waiter.

Wanna know which MLB players were the biggest dicks, or the coolest, or Which actors are coolio, or who are the worst tippers in General?

That, I can answer:

*but when I see people post that they are Vice-cops, or Active Military, or whatever, then I am truly humbled.

Props to all you people.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xlGmanlx:
Even worse. You near 95? The state and city cops around there are the worse! No way they are like NYPD, I mean you flip off one cop for riding your ass after your buddy forgets to pay at a gas station and next thing you know your getting pulled over haha. Guy was a **** before he found out military.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Nope, not from NY at all.

I'm just a Baseball fan.

When I was a kid, I collected baseball cards like a lot of other kids, but I kinda became obsessed with the whole thing, (kinda like I've done with Android...)

Anyway, I fell in love with the Game, the Histories, and the Traditions.

Since there's no other MLB team that even comes close to the Yankees as far as tradition goes, I naturally gravitated to them as a fan, and became obsessed with them as well.

Then, when I finally got a chance to visit Manhattan, and take the subway out to a gamę in the Bronx, and then getting off the train, walking the steps, and seeing (the old) Yankee Stadium in all its glory, I was sold for life.

The Yankees (to me, anyway), are the Greatest Team that there is, in ANY sport.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HondaCop:
First of all, how do you "forget" to pay at a gas station? It's not like we are used to getting free gas or stuff from a gas station. Second of all, you consider a cop bad because he stops you after not paying for gas and then flipping him off? You should be living in Iran or something, bro. hahaha

He was driving, road trip and he forgot to pay after going to bathroom, was an honest mistake. Second he was in a unmarked F-150 and was tailgating at the time before we realized he was a cop. We offered to ride with him back to the gas station but he didn't want to listen. He called backup who we told the same thing, gave that cop the cash and was on our way.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldmario:
I have update firmware GT-P1000 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 XXJQ1.

In the EXT.SD-card I put some MP4 films and some AVI films. During some months I saw all this format by internal native Video software (I remember that it asked to download a codec update automatically). 1 month ago, suddenly (I dont know why) I cannot see AVI format also by others video-players (cannot be played, etc.).

Yesterday I have recharged a firmware again ([stock rom][2.3.3] p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjq1 p1000xxjpz: gt-p1000_mr_PIT; P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ; dbdata; CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS).

But the situation is the same and also the software codec within in some video player doesen't work.

The enbedded Video player doesen't ask me the codec update and I don't know how to do it. Instead it is easy with market software because there is a apposite check box.

Thanks for any help. Greatings. Mario
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldmario:
I solved the problem. The microSD card had a read speed too low. The error was pointed out, however, misleading since the inability to see the specific video codec and some files were played very well.

Now I know that the same files into the internal memory are played without problems.

Best regards. Mario
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ayerman3:
I dont get why we cant have custom roms for the droid razr because, the bionic, the droid 3, droid x, and droid 2 have custom rom even though the bootloader is still locked
[Motorola Droid RAZR] idle0095:
Okay its because there isnt a SBF yet for the device. Once that is leaked and ready to go there wont be much roms. Also the devs need a razr to play with and most devs dont have it yet. In time you will have roms.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tgeigel:
What do u mean by sbf?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kent1146:
SBF = System Binary File.

It is a binary image of the stock (unmodified) Droid Razr OS, that can be pushed to the phone through a program like RSDLite. The purpose of this SBF is to be able to restore a phone to factory condition, if something goes wrong.

So, devs need:

* The SBF file, as a baseline and recovery tool

* An unlocked bootloader, so that they can load ROMs onto the phone

* The source code for an Android OS, so they can modify it and actually create the ROM.

So far, I think they only have #3. Items #1 and #2 will come over time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] polaris441:
Misleading title. I thought OP already DEVELOP droid razr rom
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stevessvt:
An unlocked bootloader is nice, but not absolutely necessary, there are plenty of phones with locked bootloaders and custom roms.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] idle0095:
Agreed. you dont need a unlocked bootloader. Only if you want custom kernels.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prdaep:
hi thanks for your information
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
We're in a bit of a tough spot right now. We want to mod and play but without a SBF to save us were not going all out and just doing little things. However doing those little things may stop the OTA update if it's recognized that we are messing with our system files. Then we would need an SBF to go back to stock to get the OTA which we may or may not have. So then we will have to rely on a ROM that will work on our version of RAZR. At least with one official SBF for our own RAZR version we can always start at the beginning. I'm trying to keep my mods to a minimum so the OTA doesn't get broke but may be beyond that already, who knows.

Nitro said he had a ROM booting and that he'd post it on DroidRZR today, so.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LuvrGirl:
I'd like to start copying some movies from my laptop over to my SGS2 Skyrocket... however not sure what's the best way.

Or maybe I should say, what's the best settings to use when converting my movies? And the best software someone can recommend?

Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
why not just plug it up to the computer and copy the files to a Created "Movie" folder. your phone WILL play most formats already. i use dice player to play them and it makes them look really good. but you dont really need an app or anything.

im not sure what you mean by settings though. what are you trying to set up??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LuvrGirl:
Ok cool, thanks. I just thought maybe there's certain settings (specs) to use to convert the movie files I have now to play on the SGS2 - kinda like "portable" specs so it won't take up too much space on the memory card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
i mean you can always change the formats to something that takes up less space. i think mp4's are pretty small.

OR you can buy an external sd card (32gig) and just put them there that way your not using the phones memory....but the phone has 16gig. are you trying to use your phone like an external drive of some sorts. most movies in avi format are around 700-900meg.

Hi everybody, I'm having this problem since last week. My weather and my Location keep showing that I'm in Overveen (Netherland) but actually I'm in Hanoi (Vietnam). This is f*cking annoying as my weather lockscreen always show the weather in Overveen. I had tried a lot of stuffs like do a full wipe and reflash or take the battery out for 10-20 seconds and the turn te phone on. After a few research, I think that the problem is comming from my Wifi Router, so I tried to add my MAC address to "Skyhook" but still no luck. Any Ideas guys? Thankz ;)

Sorry for my bad English :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagDave:
I had a similar problem a long time ago with one of my apps.

Fortunately, all I had to do was invert the GPS coordinates. As for your problem I'm not sure. Check the agps settings, or wipe them to force gps to get your location.

Or try another ROM, see if you can repeat the problem.

If you are ok with db editing try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14089773

It looks far more complicated than it actually is. All you are doing is creating a new location (yours) in the db. Sense ROMs only, though.

Hi

I've just noticed my Galaxy Nexus system clock is fairly accurate - only 0.1 second difference compared to Atomic clock using ClockSync app.

My HTC Desire HD only ever had accuracy on 30seconds (or worse).

Is this because the Nexus isn't bloated with Sense etc?
[Desire General] StillTheWatcher:
Hi I've been looking on amazon, play.com etc for a 32gb sd which will make my desire fastest to try and keep it feeling new and not like an old phone.

There's so many different manufacturers of cards and types, like SanDisks ultra series which comes with some kind of acceleration yet is only class 6, but may not be as good as a class 10 of another brand. All the different options are confusing for me so I was wondering if I could get some advice from you guys please?

Many thanks!

Question is: What is your average use? Music, clips, pics, programs etc. And if you sync your phone and move extremely large files, I would definately go for a faster SD-card. When moving huge files, it takes alot space _and_ time, so a fast SD would be pretty relevant. They go for pretty cheap prices as well on Amazon If you look.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serafym:
Hello all!!

I'm new to Android and i'm interested in learning a bit and maybe get involved with it but there are some things that i don't get about android and can't find the answers.

My main question is why Android which is based on Linux is so hard to get updates for all devices at once?

For example we got ICS lately why it's only available for Nexus S and not for all devices that support android?

In pcs if there is a new Ubuntu version every pc can get it no matter the hardware it uses as there are drivers for it.

Is it so hard to have drivers for all the android devices?

Why do we need to wait forever for the X company that makes the phone to build a new kernel?

Is it about the libaries?The drivers?

Say i got a device that is not supported by ICS what would i need to make it supported? I got my libs from 2.3.5 can i toss them to overlay compile and works? If not y not?

Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry if my questions are too noobish, everyone has to start from somewhere :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
1. Manufacturers don't release updates for all their devices all at once (some not at all).

2. It's ready (most stable so far) for that device (SDK ports; (almost) official update)

- Not true. If you tried to place Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a PC with a 368 MHz and 32mb ram, it would not run :p.

3. Yes. Android is on devices from many different manufacturers with many different designs and hardware.

4. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel (to know what it is). Different hardware will require different commands, etc. If the manufacturer doesn't release the kernel source, development cannot be done on that device (properly).

5. Yes and yes (much more too).

6. Create a working port from some other device (with similar hardware) which is supported. Sometimes. Some versions of android have backward compatibility of those files but ICS isn't really backward compatible which is why many ports of ICS (for various devices) don't have a working camera, etc. See the 2nd paragraph here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
I have several old dictionaries on CD-Roms that I would love to access on my Android devices. In general the dictionary is in some kind of delimited file format and the front end is a Windows based UI. Hence, it shouldn't be all too difficult to access those files with an Android based UI.

For example, I have some Japanese dictionaries organized in EPWing format, and there are at least three front ends available for those, but then I have some other dictionaries and encyclopedias that uses a fron end by Systemsoft or Gakken. How can you figure out how the underlying database is organized and are there any Android front ends that would be able to access those databases?
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
This is a must-read.

https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/2FXDCz8x93s

I gather a couple of interesting things from this: 1) the ICS OTA will be a drastic improvement over the ICS ROMs we have now, and 2) I thought it interesting how Google will actually improve UI smoothness in the Nexus S by turning OFF hardware acceleration in some areas.

This really clears up a lot of misconceptions and wrong information people around here seem to pass around regarding UI speed and hardware acceleration :)
[Nexus S General] Zor Omega:
Good find man, lot of useful info.

From Degobah
[Nexus S General] willverduzco:
Utterly fantastic find, and a must-read for anyone concerned with Android UI performance. It's quite ironic that due to that 8-MB per-process memory hit, it's actually faster for the Nexus S to render parts of the UI in software. I wonder if the same driver limitations are present in iOS, since they use PowerVR GPUs as well.

For reference, I am including Dianne's complete post below.
[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
Skimmed through it but it seems that its a compromise to free RAM but not really to speed up performance. Maybe faster app switching but not scrolling, animations, etc. Hopefully the Galaxy Nexus comes to Sprint.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
1) Faster app-switching IS improved performance.

2) Maybe you skimmed past this part?
[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
Freeing RAM to allow more background processes and faster app switching would mean (app launching) performance that is no better than what we already have. With ICS and the anticipation of HW acceleration, we all wanted BETTER INTERACTIVE performance. From playing around with it on the AOSP build, I can clearly see its faster than 2.3 on that regard. I experience constant app relaunching, much more than 2.3 so maybe that's what Google is talking about. But Google scaling GPU acceleration back because of RAM limitations is kind of disappointing to me but understandable.
[Nexus S General] peacekeeper05:
thnx for posting this again. I have read his post a while ago. And it was very informative. I am beginning to understand Android more. And I'm beginning to get more excited with the upcoming ICS update for our phone.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Yeah, I think the constant app re-launching is exactly what they are trying to fix by limiting the HW acceleration.

There are also several comments from other members of the Android team about how they are regularly blown away by how well the Nexus S Hummingbird processor handles SW rendering, and that it does so with such ease that you won't notice the difference, because it will be a steady 60 fps, and 60 fps is 60 fps to the user.

But the main thing that I think is important to take away from reading the post is that Google seems to know exactly wtf they're doing in this area, and they're doing a lot of work perfecting ICS performance on the Nexus S before they release it. So anyone who has felt disappointment regarding performance of ICS on the Nexus S so far can be assured that their apprehensions are indeed premature, and the Google team is keenly aware of the exact same performance issues that have been noted in this forum.

Plus they want it perfect on Nexus S because that seems to be the phone most Googlers personally own and use :)
[Nexus S General] peacekeeper05:
good enough explanation for me. So we can expect a better performing ICS for our nexus S. I am always pissed on how my nexus running on an alpha ICS rom can have a very very slow and painful app switching.
[Nexus S General] Award Tour:
I don't know about you but third party apps with hardware acceleration on is visibly more smooth than the same app on 2.3. Night and day difference. I wonder how much of it they're scaling back. Its too bad that you can't easily upgrade RAM on a phone.
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
I didn't get from her post that hardware rendering within app windows would be disabled. Just that certain parts of the UI will be drawn with software executed by the CPU.
