Hi so among CSC 101, Chem 101, Calc 2, and Acting 2, I'm contemplating registering for a course on Contemporary Asian Studies :/ I have absolutely no asian background but the professor assigned to the course has pretty good ratings.

The course description is as follows:

"The cultural tradition of Asia in general and of China and Japan in particular. The peoples and their psychological, educational, social, artistic, political and economic behavior."

Does anyone know what the course might involve (the description is too broad imo). Even better, has anyone taken the course, or something similar to it, or have any knowledge on the matter...

Eh, any information would be really helpful lol

Thanks :D

Do you like history class?
[Off-topic] Dmw017:
Haven't taken it since I was 12 but it was okay. I kind of liked learning about the Revolutionary War :} Still remember the day the teacher read the section on Guerrila Warfare.
[Off-topic] iynfynity:
I guess that's how things will be in that class. Obviously, you will be studying Asian culture, their political system, etc.

Do you need this class or you just want to try it?
[Off-topic] Dmw017:
Just need to drop a course and I don't know whether to drop this or Art 101 (hate drawing but apparently the course doesn't involve any of that).

I was kind of looking for insight into what contemporary asia is like I guess. Rich culture or ..boring to learn about. I really don't like politics or anything to do with government issues, but Asia is known for its rich history..so..

What is CSC 101 about?
[Off-topic] Dmw017:
Computer Science 101

Intensive introduction to computing, tailored to the needs of those majoring in computer science and computer engineering. Introduction to programming in a modern object-oriented programming language such as C++, with particular emphasis on the logical evolution of working programs from specifications.

Definitely not dropping this one XD

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simes6600:
i tried to write this post on the official RevoHD4 thread, but says i cant as i don't have 10 or more posts, so posting it here.

(1) im using Revolution v4, stock revo kernel, cmw 5027. when i restore a backup, or flash a theme etc with kitchen, cmw waits 20 secs (countdown) before doing anything.."waiting for sdcard to mount". using standard internal sdcard. is this normal? used to be instant with stock 2.3.5 firmware and CF root.

(2) flashing a dialler theme (miui, revolution) with kitchenpro causes a force close when i open the dialler app, hence can't make any calls. anyone else get this?

(3) flashed a few themes with kitchenpro, ICS, shades of dusk, miui, black lightning etc. all work fine, and disappear when i reinstall a diff theme. with the revolution super theme, it stays, flashing a diff theme over it doesn't remove it. only way i got rid of it was doing a restore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafwanCO:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoy4490:
Hi everyone,

The 20secs wait is a bug from Siyah's internal custom CWM 5.0.2.7.

I also have some requests for this ROM : could you please make Kitchen Pro make a SOFT reboot into recovery instead of a brutal one ?? Some apps don't like to be ended that brutally.

Thanks in advance !!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simes6600:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoy4490:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simes6600:
i read elsewhere that the 20 sec countdown bug is a cmw recovery v5.0 bug. hmmmm. to be honest, its not the end of the world waiting 20 secs for it flash something, just a niggle. i'm pretty sure it wasn't there in the stock revo4 kernel tho.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoy4490:
I agree with you, it's not a huge problem, but we can't flash something from the external SD ...And that's a problem I think.

I have rooted my kindle fire and update to 6.2 version. Then I uninstall some apps for amazon(I didn't uninstall the amazon kindle app). However , today ,I find that i can't read the book in amazon kindle.

Can anyone help me?:(
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Just a guess since you really don't say, but if you are not using the Kindle Launcher (ie using something else like Go Launcher ... )... If so, this is a known issue. click on the Kindle Launcher, go to books and your books should show and load properly.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeqiu01:

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeqiu01:
Yesterday evening, I took another kindle fire from my friend and checked the application one by one.

If you want to use the amazon kindle to read books, do not uninstall the app "Amazon kindle fire ","Device plat form".

I deleted "Device plat form" to cause that problem.

Now everything is ok!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipJFry:
I don't understand. If you deleted the app, how did you fix the problem?

I think I screwed up by Clearing Data for that app.

Now the Launcher seems to relaunch itself every few seconds, making it nearly impossible to launch an app, book, etc.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troydog:
This should work but will not work the same as the amzone reader you got now it will look different but is the same in the long run.

Go to google market and search amazon Then install the Amazon Kindle app. You can open this app from any launcher
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipJFry:
For those interested, I was able to fix my problem by setting "Launcher" to the default, re-rooting, then unrooting.

I'm not sure what caused the Launcher glitchiness: installing other launchers, clearing data, or something the first time I rooted. Regardless, it works now!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbgoldberg323:
Just thought I'd chime in since I found this helpful, and in the process found a fix for another issue.

I just recently rooted my Kindle Fire and was having some issues viewing the Android Market on it, and went to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24312196&postcount=17 to resolve that issue.

However, after turning on my device the today, I was unable to open PDF's from the "Device" section of the DOCS tab. I would click a PDF, it would appear to open, then the screen would turn gray with the word "kindle" in the middle, and nothing would happen. I backed all the way out, powered off the device, powered it back on, went all the way back to opening the PDF but this time "Amazon Kindle" wanted me to register. I input my email address and password and clicked the "register" button, and some tabs appeared at the top of the screen, and that's it. I backed out all the way again, rebooted my Kindle, and when I went back to the DOCS tab, all of my documents were gone!

I frantically opened ES File Explorer and navigated to the "Documents" folder, and all of my PDF's were still there. I was rather confused. I did a couple more reboots and this same issue persisted.

So I was having two issues.

1. "Amazon Kindle" was not opening PDF's.

2. The "DOCS" tab was not displaying anything.

How did I fix it? After deleting the cache from the "Kindle Fire" app via Settings --> Applications --> All Applications, I opened the Play Marketplace (or whatever it's called now), selected the Amazon Kindle app, and selected "Uninstall" which prompted me if I wanted to uninstall all of the updates. I selected yes, and also deselected the "allow automatic updating" option, then backed all the way out.

Everything works perfect now. :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycsd:
Hi I was having issues with my phone over the last few days, it was slaughting my batteries. Had to go to the sprint store and get a new one. I think maybe it's because I installed 1 of the nightly builds a couple of days after Thanksgiving. Right now I'm running CM7.1 stable on it,after I went through 2 batteries figured I should change the rom out. Is there a test to preform so I can ensure it's not a hardware issue vs the nightly build I was running ? I don't wanna have to go throught this again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azathothify:
I typically run sense ROMs but I have run CM for a little while. What kernel are you using? A friend of mine is running CM7 and is using savaged zen and has pretty good luck with it. I have had bad battery life when switching between ROMs before as well, usually when I swap kernels. Typically it takes a couple days for the ROM to settle in and battery life to get back to normal.

I had terrible battery life with my EVO before I rooted it and ended up buying an extended battery for it before I rooted it. I am currently running the Shooter 3D rom with the chopsuey kernel and I get great battery life out of that. You may want to try a different rom for a few days as well and see if you notice any difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acefour23:
If your looking for a ROM that has good battery life and is stable give Energy Sensation XL 3.5 a go it is a very stable ROM with great battery life when you use the stock kernal with it. I was able to get about 30hrs of use before it required a charge.

So I live in Chicago, IL and have a skyrocket from ATT with the rooted 2.3.6 stock rom. I have however never gotten anywhere near the LTE speeds others rave about. The highest speed I have ever had was 6m d 2m up and that was RARE. I usually get 3m up 1m down. I wonder however if it could be from my sim card as the guy at att just took my Galaxy s2 sim and put it in the skyrocket. Any help would be much appreciated. And I am always in the city or in the suburb which houses O'Hare international airport so I think I should be doing fine signal wise.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you seeing the 4G LTE icon? Or just 4G?

I also exchanged an S2 for an SR, and they also just swapped my SIM. LTE recently soft launched in LA, and I've gotten speeds between 8 to 19Mbps (before I usually hovered between 2 and 3Mbps).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] haroonie:
LTE speeds in chicago stink and are no where near what others are getting in other LTE markets.. the max i've ever gotten was 25 down and 10 up right outside chicago. i live in the northside of chicago and commute 20 miles to the nw suburbs and still dont get eye popping speeds nor consistent 20 meg speeds, only in orland park and naperville.. but everywhere else i average around 10 down and 10 up, which isn't bad, but is ok.

here's a thread i started when i first got the skyrocket and an article detailing as to why speeds in chicago may be slower. i hope the crank up the speeds soon or i may be considering Verizon LTE or Tmobile's faux-g.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MakAttak:
Everybody, PUHLEESE!

Look it is simple math. At 25.6Mb/s(ATM25) it will take about 10-11 MINUTES to blow past your 2GB limit with AT&T. Even at 50% overhead it still runs to the limits in about 15 minutes. Really? Seriously???!?!?!

All we seem to be doing is running OOKLA for bragging rights which is fine, I GET IT!

If you were to actually USE that bandwidth on AT&T for any length of time it would either get throttled, or even worse they would enforce the 1GB extension cost for every GB you go over.

Ten minutes??? cmon, lets get serious.

I am MUCH more interested in CM9 or ICS for Skyrocket than I am the speed - It is like a drag strip, you throw it into 1st, stomp on the gas, and before you can get it run up in 3rd you are shutting it down at the end of the track. That is what the 2GB limit is like on a phone that can push up into the 50-75mb/s ranges. Of course I used to love to get my Z28 down in the track in 12 seconds... ;)

Ookla for me in DFW is 22.35mb/s <- not too shabby...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] daystrom:
From what I understand only flashing a kernel or non-stock rom with ODIN will trigger the counter.

Flashing a recovery with ODIN isn't supposed to trip it. I haven't done it so I am just telling you what I have read.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] reubendevries:
No even flashing CWM with odin will trip the counter, flashing anything through download mode will. The counter doesn't prove anything. All it says if you flashed manually instead of through Kies. But downloading stock isn't against warranty. Since it doesn't list what you flashed only that you did a manual flash if you do need to take into Samsung then just tell them till your blue in the face that you only flashed stock. They can't prove otherwise. They will need to service you. Just make sure you've taken root off and CWM off as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:

not sure on the GSM version, but I can promise you the LTE model is going to be complete crap compared to an iphone.

on my old iphone 3gs, I could watch like 4 movies & still browse the net for a bit before the battery died... on my thunderbolt & rezound I could watch like 1 movie & then browsr the net for about an hour.

even if you disable LTE(or go into airplane mode for that matter) its only going to help slightly.

you will have to invest in an extended battery unless you are someone who does "light use".
