lol thanks :P :P

wanna know what i make?

i have a bachelors degree and a masters degree, and i sell phones at an indirect store.

i make god damn 7.50 an hour with ****ty commission of like 8% on 1-3 new activations, if i hit 4-8, i'm at 12%, and then it goes on.

it's not good money; then again, i don't have ridiculous quotas to meet like corporate employees do (from what i hear) so i'm content. i graduated in may, applied to 20+ government jobs, didn't get a single one, and then nobody else was hiring, so i took this job...it juts randomly fell into my lap one day. most of the reason is because i agreed to do pay+commission, because i don't want the uncertainty of 100% commission...yeah, i'll end up getting like 50% and **** on phones, buuuuut we are a small store that isn't that high traffic of an area, so i NEED that guarenteed pay weekly to know i have money to pay stuff off. this months been my best month since AUGUST, and thats 4 months ago...so far, i've worked 6 days in december, and i've already sold 11 phones, and have 3 new activations. that's REALLY damn good for me, and i have a feeling this month is gonna be better than summer (and summer is crazy because i live on the jersey shore here, and our store is where all the douchebags and bennys come down near in the summer, so they always drop their phones in water because they're morons so we bank in the summer)

but yeah, i make garbage and i'm very bitter about it :D

lol especially when i've got well over 40 grand left in student loan debt to repay starting this month :) :) :) :) :)

oh and also, i don't consider myself a verizon employee..i don't wanna lump myself in with those corporate store know-nothing douchebags ;D
[HTC Rezound] nkd:
I work at frys. It is a ***** job. They used to fricking take super dope care for their employees. Not anymore, the owner doesn't even know half of the things that go on in the company, before he was more involved. They treat us like crap now and it starts from home office. I still make decent money but damn stress is way too much. Than again corporations own america now and you are at their mercy to get a good job even after graduating with good education.

I went to verizon store and the manager offered me a job but I had to move to norhtern california. I was actually talking to one of the employees and he brought his manager out to talk to me. He said he could get me in. I told him about all the pressure we are in constantly about signing poeple up for frys cards and forcing use to get warranties and stuff. The guy there told me that they have sales quotas but they don't force them to treat their customers unfair. They all looked pretty damn happy working there, plus they are always fricking busy with customers.

I am trying to get in to management at frys just so I can have a title under my name and get the **** out of there and go elsewhere. I dont even get treated unfair but some people get treated so bad that I am tired of seeing it. ****ers made us work overtime on blackfriday, and we worked from 11:30PM thursday night to 7:30pm at night friday and we all got only 2 hours of overtime.
[HTC Rezound] cundiffr:
I work for Kroger which actually owns frys. I've been there for over 8 years. I'm 25 have 3 weeks paid vacation 5 vacation days and full health insurance for only 5 bucks a week. They take care of there employees.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
Heh.. I have a Bachelors in Computer Science but then decided I didn't want to sit in front of a PC all day. I'm currently a limo driver($12/hour + tips.) but the hours are whack. I just have a ghetto Astro van I got for $3000 & a sound system in it that cost almost as much.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
Your union. Kroger doesn't have a choice.

I currently work for Time Warner Cable as a phone rep at 13.87 an hour + 5% commission on any service I sell. You call in wanting pay per view. 5% commission. Minimum 40 hours a week, and as much overtime as I want.

I drive a slightly modded 2011 mustang 5.0 that i have a loan on and still have a 2007 Toyota tundra that is fully paid off.

I work for a corporate VZW store and make pretty good money. Also to jayochs we aren't all "corporate store know-nothing douchebags" I tend to keep up on everything, hence why I'm on sites like this lol.(I was only interested in the job because I like phones lol)

That said, VZW takes very good care of their employees, from entry level up. Benefits from day 1, great health care, 2 weeks paid vacation first year, not to mention good money.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I think he's talking about Fry's Electronics and not the grocery store. Unless Kroger owns them too? I have no idea :confused:,

The value of a person's car is inversely proportional to the amount of money they make, at a certain point, then up to a certain point.

If it makes them feel better about their crappy jobs...so be it. I do agree though, smoking in that car is pure negligence. :mad:

[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
I make a ****load of money doing nothing :) $1,200/month housing allowance from Post-9/11 GI Bill, $1,400/month VA disability, $350/month school stipend from the Reserves, I have 2 renters in my house that was given to me by my parents when I graduated high school, my renters pay me $400/each and I obviously have no rent. (Sorry, yea I am spoiled, but my dad is a millionaire, lol) I make a hell of a lot of $$ on my online ventures with a group of guys who I worked with in the Army. And, I work some side jobs when I have some free time, usually charge $15-$20/hour.

One of my renters is a Sprint Corporate employee and I know he makes bank. When he moved in he payed me his deposit + 6 months in advance.

I can't seem to get rid of the ring type lock screen. I want to use the pattern or password lock and I can use it but I have to use the ring unlock and then whatever other one. So basically power button, ring unlock, and then password unlock. I have looked in the settings and I can remove the ring shortcuts but not that lock screen. Any help is appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
I think that's not gonna happen my friend

Rocking My Unbelievable Crazy Rezound:cool:
[HTC Rezound] boarderofsnow86:
There is no way to remove the ring unlock?!
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
I'm pretty sure there's no way to remove it. You have to do both if you want to use an unlock pattern.
[HTC Rezound] phillybizzle:
can we change the lockscreen style altogether? or not yet due to no soff
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I think you can install a 3 Ed party one from the market that will hide the ring one. What is wrong with the stock one?

Get WidgetLocker from the market for a couple bucks. It has the old sense lock, or you can choose the ics lock on there too. There are hundreds of themes to choose from, not to mention you can add widgets to it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenroebuck:
Hi I just got the 16GB version eee pad transformer - charged it up and set it up when I check the software version it says 3.1 and I know there is an update to 3.2.1 but when I do a manual check update it says nothing available??? Any one have any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy.lai27:
I'd like to know this too. Having the same issue. Manually checking for an update still produces "no update available"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
do it manually

http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy.lai27:
So for updating manually, just DL the version according to your build (I bought mine in Canada, yet it says US..), extract on your comp, then transfer the zip file to your tablet?

If that's the case, then I'm still puzzled. It's on my SD card, but nothing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stereotada:
I have the same problem. Having difficulties updating manually. When entering recovery, i always get the android guy with a exclamation mark in a triangle and it just stays on the screen.

Would really appreciate any help!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenroebuck:
you have the dl the zip and unzip it on your pc -in that zip is a folder called asus - copy that to the root of your sc card.

With the transformer on - put the sd card you copied the asus folder to in the tablet - an exclamation should show up in the lower right corner notification area - (takes a min or so to show) saying an update is available...just apply it takes a few mins and when done you are updated...

Okay so I did that but the version on asus site is .13 and the current version is .19...how do I go about getting the current version so I can root this bad boy??..if I cannot run hulu plus on it..it is pretty much useless to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy.lai27:
That's strange since it didn't work for me. I extracted the zip file onto my computer. Out of it, you get a folder called META-INF and blob. I put those onto my transformer, but nothing happened. Keep in mind, I'm using internal storage as I don't have a micro SD card
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
dont unzip it just put the zip file in the asus folder on your tab it should already be there
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenroebuck:
I was just following these instructions - which worked for me

----------------

Thank you for contacting ASUS customer support.

To manually update your Eee Pad Transformer, please follow the steps below:

As an example, we can use the latest firmware that is currently available from our web page.

1. Download Eee Pad Kernel Code for Android 3.2 Version V8.6.5.13 from Asus support site from the link below:

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download Eee Pad Transformer TF101

2. Unzip the file and copy the “Asus” folder into the root directory of the Micro SD card.

3. Make sure that TF101 is on and the power cord is connected.

4. Insert the MicroSD card in the slot. Once MicroSD card is detected, a blinking exclamation mark should appear at the bottom of the main screen, next to the clock.

5. Tap on it in order to bring up the update wizard.

6. The update takes approximately 10-15 minutes to install.

Kind regards,

Vadim

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icemncmth:
OK..I have a question...do you put the folder "Asus" on the card or whats inside the folder?

I have tried all the suggestions and even done what is on Asus's site and mine still won't upgrade. Someone told me I may need to register it to get the upgrade so I need to try that.

What happens to me is I put the Asus folder on a Micro SD card and insert it into the tablet. Basically the tablet mounts the card and shows it in the lower right hand corner. Then nothing. So after a while I click on it and I see the asus folder and I can search the folders including the zipped file a few folders inside the Asus folder.

Any thoughts would be great!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisharry:
I just got mine yesterday too, 16G Brown one from Best Buy. I went almost 24 hrs. and wasn't getting any updates. This morning I registered the tablet on the ASUS website and entered the serial number. Within an hour I had the update! I'm now on V8.6.5.19 US.

Probably not going to stay on it for long though, I was mainly doing it so RazorClaw would work :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icemncmth:
I think I will register mine today and see what happens. Did you get the 299.00 deal?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fisharry:
Yes, I got one in the North Dallas/Frisco area. Friday several of the stores were showing 2 or 3 but by Saturday morning one store had one in stock within 30 mi. So I pulled the trigger.

Hi

Can someone tell me why I can't copy systemUI.apk to system/ folder? The phone is rooted and not SwiFTP, nor File Explorer could copy it there...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] [GER]Roxxor:
The system is read only. You have to remount it Read/write.

You can simply do it with Root Explorer by clicking R/W, or this way:

http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html

make sure to execute "cat /proc/mounts" to determine the right mtdblock!

Would you backup the original SystemUI.apk for me and upload it? :D Deleted mine and want the original back :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Mylow777:
Hi

Many thanks in advance. I will try with Root Explorer then.

And of course I do my part, here is an original one (still virgin... :) ): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=55FZ24KD

Thanks for your effort to put all these together.

[HTC Titan] galdal:
I'm having a problem hearing music using ear Buds / headphones and was wondering if anyone else was having this issue on titan. The sound goes real dull almost like non-stereo and I have to hold where the 3.5 mm jack is and wiggle the earbuds to get a clear sound. I bought new skoal candies and tried 3 other pairs so I'm guessing its my phone but was curious if anyone else was having this issue.

Thx

from Titan on XDA Windows Phone 7 App
[HTC Titan] derylmccarty:
ear buds and the like

It might just be your 3.5 mm connection...I tried mine out just now (I had not added music to my Titan previously) and plugged in and was very very pleasantly surprised at the sound quality. I had surmised for myself that my PDA was for phone and calendar etc, and the iPod or other MP3/4 player for audio - mostly for quality of sound. I won't make that mistake again. The Titan is good - very good.
[HTC Titan] mvadu:
DId you use IE while listening to Music? I don't have any problems with Music playback (Used it to listen to my music collection during work hours whole last week) However I noticed that when I launch IE (search, or by launching IE on its own) sound quality suddenly changes, and degrades..
[HTC Titan] link68759:
Hm, I think it has something to do with bluetooth stereo vs headset profile. Weird that it happens with regular ear buds.
[HTC Titan] galdal:
I think its defective, I'm going to call ATT tomorrow and have it replaced because I have to hold where the earbuds fit into the 3.5 connecter and put a little bit of pressure to get the sound to come thru. I'm glad to hear no one else is having an issue so thats good:)
[HTC Titan] sunhi3man:
I'm having issues too.

I had problems with my audio jack too. I was looking on here to see if anyone else had issues. At first, I thought that I had a failing headset but then I put another one in and after awhile it started doing the same thing. It's not right away but it seems to start up after a bit. It's really concerning me though. I'm considering getting a replacement and hope this is just a minor issue that affects a few units. I don't want to wait and have it develop into a bigger issue. It frustrates me though, because I had originally bought a focus s and the hands free button didn't work right. It seemed like an issue with the way it registered button presses. Now, I get this phone and the button works right but I'm having these audio issues. Argghh.
[HTC Titan] tamiktamik:
I don't have a problem with any earbuds , every one i tried works for me. It might just be your phone itself. maybe deffective? If i was you i would try regular ipod headphones or a friends to see if that really is the problem
