The point about self interest of say detectives and CIA directors... reminds me of the classic Anarchists of the 1800s... pointing out that profit motive is not necessarily good for a society...same as the doctor argument... would you rather the doc that loves the pay and their penis extension car, or one who loves what they do and do it purely for that reason.

Yeah I love the 'nothing to hide' arguments... really?? Did the 80s not produce enough dystopic totalitarian state movies and books for you to get the picture?? (not to mention Punk Rock)

I hope they don't mind me having phone sex with my girl on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pasta1234:
I am very sorry if my statement wasn't popular amongst you folks or even apparently sickened some of you...

I think its very easy given main stream media to jump on the bandwagon and say this is an infringement of this right or that right...blah blah...blah. In reality if you saw the number of real threats that are made to innocent people everyday by extremists/haters or whatever you want to call them youll realize that some measures are needed.

I am pretty sure they aren't interested in your petty phone sex, rooted unlocked phones or how you plan on hacking so and so software but rather true threats that are very real and happen every day behind the scenes (which i know are very true daily).

Does it make CIQ necessary, perhaps, may it need some changes in its implementation, perhaps too. I agree that everything needs moderation and has its challenges, so offer and propose suggestions don't mock it when you have nothing better and will be the person crying in the corner when and if something bad happens...

In the end i respect everyones opinion in this community, hopefully you all do as well ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
+9000 this.

Its a dynamic topic and I have neither the time nor digital fortitude to tap out a proper diatribe, but, regardless of the claimed intent of such systems there is an inherently human desire for scope-creep, power-creep and never a desire to hand these compromises back to the people...and that is to say nothing of the fact that the rules of these compromises are being interpreted by imperfect humans who, as a rule of thumb, should not be trusted.

If a liberty is used against you to harm you would you prefer to relinquish that freedom for the promise of imperfect protection? Or perhaps the very existence of such a liability of these freedoms is just part of the price of said freedoms?

I think it is a fair price.

Personally I'm disgusted at the amount of people who would sooner trade away liberty, freedoms and privacy for peace of mind provided by some supposed protection from a statistically insignificant threat.

Yeah, sadly, I think the terrorists totally won...

/rant

Edit: ...and all of that is if you take everything you hear on TV and from the government at face value...I'm pretty sure the truth is far more disturbing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I assume a terrorist wouldnt use a ciq enabled phone, any half smart criminal would use a prepaid phone that does not require a registration to activate to communicate with, plus there are other ways to communicate ie: short wave radio (number stations and encrypted data), email and the most typical, a courier.

Terrorism is just an easy excuse to for us to loose our right to privacy. I also don't want to be thinking about every time I send a text or take a pic someone somewhere is reading and watching everything I do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
I respect your opinion, no doubt. This is America and in my version (not the governments version) you have the right to speak out however you please. That being said I don't know where people get this 'terrorism is an issue' idea from.

Yes, we were attacked but it's still up for debate whether or not the government allowed it to happen, either by negligence or intent it doesn't matter. Having been deployed to Afghanistan I've dealt first hand with the politics involved in war and 'terrorism'. I've seen both sides of the fight. Sure there are, have been, and always will be those that want to kill everyone different from themselves but are we all dead? Nope

If they wanted to destroy us so bad then why isn't the TSA catching 'terrorists' every day? So far they've yet to stop a single action. Why? Because no one is trying. Why don't the gamma scanners deployed in every port ever find a single gram of fissile material? Why aren't suicide bombers blowing themselves up in the middle of NY? Why aren't cars blowing up in the middle of rush hour? Why aren't we walking around with pro masks (gas masks) on and forced to carry activated carbon wipes everywhere?

This 'protection' is an excuse plain and simple. A couple of guys managed to pull of some **** in a freak series of mishaps (or intent) on the part of our government. The same government that's just been looking for an excuse to turn into the 21st century iron curtain. It's been that way since the cold war when those in power implemented 'fighting fire with fire' aka control the people to prevent communism in order to fight a communist country. Become an authoritarian system. It's also known as hypocrisy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
agree with you completely kcric i was a soldier in iraq and for the most part they are just trying to live there lives the way they want just like us. There are extremists on both sides of the fence, usually religious nutjobs that think there way is the only way. IT is the same no matter where u go and just because they use different methods doesnt mean that it is right. Just because u dont like something doesnt mean it isnt right. Ive seen all different sorts of religion and i dont have a problem with any of them i respect everyones beliefs equally and guess what when you treat people with respect and equal there are no problems anywhere. Except when u get money grubbers involved then it just goes to explative deleted
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
You are correct. It's the money and power hungry CEOs, politicians, and extremist religious leaders that cause these issues. Those in power know very well that a person is smart but people are dumb - in America that's more true than anywhere else I'd say. Military personnel know this fact too. Usually the reaction of a group is based on either the current climate of issues or a gang mentality reaction that stems from whomever reacted first. If you tell 100 people they have to pay you $50 and the first few people are fine with it, the rest follow suit. If not, the rest get angry also. If taxes have been raised a lot lately the group will most likely get mad, if not they'll be fairly docile.

Same goes with tracking. You scare the people and tell them tracking them will alleviate the risk, they support it. Create a problem, give a solution. It's basic psychological warfare, a means to control indigenous populations.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonne:
Hi guys.

I have been programming for iOS for a while now and I want to learn Android development.

Now I have seen many threads that ask for books recommendations, but I have checked a few of them and none of them suit my needs.

I am in no way a beginner. I have been programming for 5 years, 1 year dedicated to iPhone development. So I'm not looking for "For Dummies" books.

Ideally, I want the most complete Android development book. Or a progression of books (you can avoid Java books altogether, I would prefer if you focused in Android Development books).

Thanks for any help!

Am getting regional lockout in Android Market. Anyone from Japan like to post the official Japanese app? If it is as good as MosBurger Japan's official app it will be quite handy. I am planning to go to Japan on vacation. Arigato!

[Android Apps and Games] DearestLeader:
Got it!

After rooting was able to use Market Access (free variant of Market Enabler) to get the app long denied to me, plus two other Japanesev McD apps. Having trouble posting the apks with Dolphin so will try later on my desktop computer.

Japanese McDonald's apps

Here's one of them. As I copied these from the ASEC folder, they are all named pkg.apk so I can't say for sure what's what. One is the app I was looking for, another is supposed to be some sort of entertainment app, and one is a live wallpaper (that isn't very interesting). Will post the next two next.

This is a thread, particularly pertaining to ThunderHawk. Do you guys like having a Reboot to Download option on the power menu, or does it make it too cluttered for a feature you never use?

EDIT: I apparently fudged the poll. I gave a positive question and negative choices... it looks like people who answered yes, mean yes they like it.

[HTC EVO 3D] njd.sina:
When I use the Youtube app on my 3vo, it scrolls smoothly and all, until I begin playing a video on it. Once a video begins playing, when I try to switch tabs when holding the phone in portrait mode, the transitions suddenly become choppy and laggy, whether it be scrolling through comments, or pulling down the notification bar, the entire phone seems to lag once a Youtube video is playing, regardless of it being HD or not. Is anyone else having this issue or have a possible solution? Thanks (Stock ROM)
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Maybe upgrade YouTube app.
[HTC EVO 3D] njd.sina:
I believe it already is the newest. 2.3.4 from the market. Do you think it could be a device issue? I've tried wiping 2 times, and the same issue is happening.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
No its not device issue. What r u streaming YouTube videos 3/4g or WiFi??
[HTC EVO 3D] njd.sina:
I use WiFi and 3G mainly, but I've experienced the issue regardless of the connection type, and also whether it be in HD or SD format.
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
Ok are you rooted? Have you cleared cache and data on the app??
[HTC EVO 3D] njd.sina:
I am not rooted, I also cleared the data and cache as you suggested, but I have the same issue. I noticed that when I pause the video, however, it seems to respond faster.. Not as fast as no video playing, but a noticeable improvement over when the video is playing and I attempt to scroll.
[HTC EVO 3D] PaulB007:
I hate to be a downer but this phone does not handle a few things very well, namely the youtube app and it also is slow as hell when you get thousands of texts. I think this is a sense issue personally.
[HTC EVO 3D] njd.sina:
I thought Sense may be the cause to it. I'm not sure if other people are experiencing the issue though, whether it be that a custom ROM solves it or my device is just 'special'..
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
The problem you are experiencing is universal. Scrolling while watching a video causes lag in the youtube app.
[HTC EVO 3D] njd.sina:
Thank you. :) I thought it was just my device that did this, because there were no other threads which mentioned this, which I find strange because my old HeroC did it smoothly, and now the 3VO is struggling with it. Do you know if a custom ROM or kernel resolves this?
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I have the same problem as well. When playing videos in the youtube app, I get a lot of lag.

I can actually navigate the desktop version of the youtube site with less lag than the youtube app.
[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
I've experienced this problem on numerous ROMs. In regards to kernels, I don't even know. I doubt that a kernel will eliminate the lag, but I'm not one to say.
[HTC EVO 3D] alanmv567:
I am also getting this issue with both youtube and vevo app. When i play videos from my sd card with mx video player, they play flawlessly. So hopefully when ics comes out this problem is fixed.... :/
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
This is normal and I think it has been posted a few times. Basically it's the lack of gui hardware acceleration on Android gingerbread. If you try out an ICS rom you will see its smoother. Probably not as smooth as you like but smoother than it is on gingerbread.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Don't think its normal. YouTube works fine for me. HD and normal videos play without an issue. Upload and download works fine as well. I'm running SteelH's rom with Chads#50 kernel. Youtube has never giving me a problem in the app or VIA stock browser. So I don't think it has to do with the hard ware acceleration at all. My wife has my old hero and YouTube works fine for her as well. Also my sister and brother both have the EVO4g and youtube works fine for them. Have you guys tried a different version of the app ??? Like an older ver?? Or a newer one ??

[HTC EVO 3D] alanmv567:
Yeah its weird for me because all my movies and videos that are loaded onto my sd card work great. No lag or issues but when it comes time to YouTube or vevo and even vimeo.... It will lag or skip the video around the end or halfway but the sound keeps playing.. Very frustrating.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
If you try the YouTube app on ics it works fine and no lag...
[HTC EVO 3D] alanmv567:
I wish I could go on ics.... But I use the camera and 4g a lot haha

There is not a lot you can do changing system apps until you get root. HTC Mail is a system app so you can't remove it. Once the phone is rooted you will be able to set up a new mail system. You can probably find something in the market. I just use the mail apps(Gmail,Hotmail,etc).
