Who else is in a blow off class like computer animation in high school board and browsing the XDA since it is an unblocked site? Oh btw anyone know how to by pass WebSense? Don't give me anything you've read online... because trust me I've already read it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
did it, didnt work. funny enough, when i odin'd the stock 2.3.5 the power button didnt worm either... im beginning to think its actually hardware related.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
u tried u.exe? its used to bypass the chinese proxy, its what my younger friends use
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Those power buttons are tricky little guys. The fix for this back on the Captivate was... wait for it... going into the camera and taking a picture. No clue why that worked, but it actually did. My power button had stopped functioning one day and upon Googling it, I saw someone suggested it. So I gave it a shot, and voila, power button worked again. Not saying that it would work for you, just storytellin'.

Lmao, wow! who woulda thunk it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Seriously!! I was freaking out too, because the only way I could get my screen to turn on was by plugging in or out my phone charger. I couldn't believe it worked haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Which one did you use? sammobile? I don't think it matters for this but just curious
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
my power button still works, thats what so funny. I can turn the screen on and off , but long press goes straight to shutdown, no menu. It does this with all roms, ics or gb, stock or custom.

I used odin 1.85 and rogers k0nane tar. Ive also tried kj2, kj7, LA5, LA4, and ucla3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Are you willing to try the sammobile tar? It comes with kj2. Not sure if it will fix it, but nothing else has worked so far
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
im willing, but im at work now, will post back later when i try it.

thats the reason i posted here. i know another seasoned member will help out, and maybe think of something i overlooked. Any other out of the box suggestions are welcome.

Have you tried to flash an extended power menu? This thread has one you can flash via cwm (supposedly should work on any roms based on the ICS leak): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577284

If that doesn't work and flashing the Samobile KJ2 tar doesn't fix it, I'd start thinking it was a hardware issue too. Except that's a head scratcher. If the button was getting stuck you'd be re-booting as if you had held down the power button for ten seconds or so. So...that's a tough one...

How about saying you are sorry. That would work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
I'm not. He was condescending, and dropping negativity into a thread that had a lot of interest. I explained that some people haven't rooted their phone yet, and so an OTA update was of interest.

He acted like anyone who didn't know how to root was an idiot, but with enough reading they would get to his level. That's how he phrased it, so that's how I phrased my reply.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
That's fine, I am just gonna ignore all threads like that from now on. I'll help from time to time but I'm gonna stay out of the threads that are ridiculous.

It's all good man.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

It has nothing to do with getting to my level. It's about making your phone the best it can be, and that isn't done by using stock crapware.

And you do realize how many people I helped get that ota, right?

I just want to point out to Mr. xcrazydx that I'm not flaming him or think he's an asshole or anything. Just explaining why I called him a prick, and why I don't think it was wrong.

Just got PM. Check yours and put an end to further ones.... thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
As in I shouldn't dare PM you? But ok, what purpose does the General section serve if I'm only supposed to be talking about development? Why does the Themes/Apps section exist? They can go to r/androidthemes. There is always another place better suited for discussion than XDA BESIDES development. But you can't send everyone away. Whomever started that thread wanted to discuss it with the XDA Skyrocket community, not ATT service reps. You should lighten up and let people do that.

It wasn't a customer service thread; it was a thread with people *****ing about not getting the 2.3.6 update to their fellow Android users, other people chiming in to help/confirming they were in the same boat or weren't, speculation about what it meant for OTA ICS, and other random tidbits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
hmmm. Ive been in this forum section for along time. Ours is one of the best phones on xda. We have quite a few knowledgable members who are very dedicated and attempt to help all new people as much as possible, even though the questions usually have been answered and 2 seconds of usage with that search feature would confirm. Eventually it gets annoying, becuz everyone wants to be spoon fed, and no one wants to look.

xcrazy and tommy are some of the veteran posters, and i can attest to them helping many users. U have an attitude problem, and i suggest u check it at the xda login screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
A question that has already been answered, and the OP is too lazy to spend 15 minutes googling around or use the forums search function is a perfectly valid reason to close a topic and to tell everyone to shut up. I would wholeheartedly agree with that decision, laziness is laziness.

But closing a post because it doesn't pertain to modding while it's in the GENERAL forums isn't right. That's my opinion, and I vocalized it. That doesn't mean I have an attitude problem. I can see that their thanks meters are over 100, which means that they're valuable members and have helped a lot of people. (Which probably means they've helped others with the very questions they complained about). I respect that, but that doesn't mean that I need to agree with everything they say.

xCrazy sounded like an ass in the post I saw, so I was an ass back. I disagreed with tomtom, and said so. So what?

Edit: I also see your thanks meter, which also puts you into seniority. You all obviously go out of your way to help people, which is fantastic; I don't see why the militancy in the general forum with ONLY stuff you find annoying. Shouldn't the questions posted be moved to Q/A? Shouldn't the Chrome post be moved to Apps? It's not really a big deal I suppose, but it seems that it touches a nerve.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
I'm in the midst of shopping for a new laptop... do you guys have any suggestions for performance laptops under, say, $1,100? I'm trying to find something that has either an AMD quad-core or the Intel i7 with copious amounts of RAM. I was looking at maybe the Dell XPS14z (because I don't really care about screen size) or the HP Pavilion dv6z quad-core series, but I'd really like some suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
*slow claps*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
What'll u be using it for? Rendering, gaming? And is battery life an important factor, or negligible. Weight? Screen size does matter and impacts/is impacted by the previous two
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
I actually have the HP quad core. I love it. Whichever brand you go with, remember to google [BRAND + coupons]. Seriously, I did it with this HP and found one that if you spent over 1000 then you get 15% off. My brother turned me onto it when he googled HP coupons and found 150$ off, just like that.

I think you can do this with most major purchases.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tomtommy306:
NICE! Made me actually think and take it all in. You could make money on words like those.:D

I would recommend the Dell xps series or somthing from asus. i7 is the only way to go. Make sure you get around 6-8 gigs of RAM. They sometimes run sales @ Dell so 1100 seems reasonable.

CHECK HERE -> http://configure.us.dell.com/dellst...wd02&c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&model_id=xps-l502x
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jomeister15:
Battery life is not a huge factor for me, because I have it plugged in and charging most of the time. At this current point in time, I don't even own a desktop computer, so this laptop would be used for pretty much all of my computing needs, whether playing Half-Life 3 or compiling Jelly Bean from source. As for weight, I'd prefer something that is comfortable to carry in a backpack, but other than that it doesn't really matter. Screen-size I would actually prefer a smaller screen (sounds crazy) because I absolutely cannot stand massive screens on a laptop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
I would forgo the HP then, if I remember correctly the quad core options were only in big screens. HP also has a huge problem of their laptops getting very hot very fast. I can say mine is comfortable to carry around though.

And I googled "Dell coupons", and the tech bargain website has a 25% off coupon for laptops with 900ish votes saying it works, so don't forget to check coupons once you make your decision!

Edit: I have the HP DV6 Quad Core (1.8 gHz), 6 gb of RAM, 1920x1200 display. I love it, minus it's heat problem. I got it all for about 750 I believe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I have the Samsung RC-512

Comes with core I7, 6gb of ram but its expandable

GF has the dell xps also good but she only got the i5

+1 to writing a book! Blew my mind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
If you want a decent laptop that will last you, get a Thinkpad. Dells tend to be unreliable, and HP uses cheap solder, making overheating a major issue. My Dell server would just randomly turn off. It's now sitting in the garage, getting what it deserves... Thinkpads are the best. I know it may not be as pretty, but I've dropped my thinkpad a couple times before. Still looks new. And it's never overheated before. Always stays cool. Best heat sink ever.

Or of you're going for looks and power, get a razor blade gaming laptop. Awesome gaming laptop. :D you don't even have to play games. It's just amazing for anything.

Also. On another note. If I didn't emphasize this enough. DO NOT GET HP!!! I've gotten BURNS from my HP Pavilion. And it's hella slow...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
i'm just going to spam this thread with a whole bunch of models that fit your needs.

Asus (My first choice, excellent laptop company, known for high end and gaming laptops, its also got the best video card of the bunch)

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230254CVF

HP Workstation (refurb, but this thing is amazing, and its got a workstation graphics card)

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834158393

Acer (Similarly spec'd to ones below, but WAAAY cheaper)

http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_369&item_id=045320

Lenovo (if not for the Asus, i highly recommend this one as well. They really are high quality laptops, and repairing them is very easy).

http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_369&item_id=042462

Another Asus

http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_369&item_id=042682

Toshiba (also good laptops, but a little less known, i really just put this here to give options)

http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=710_577_369&item_id=042644

Hopefully if you're states side you can find similar models, but if in Canada then go for it. I also suggest you check ncix.com as well, they're a great resource. Searching for coupons is good, but me personally I use these sites:

http://www.shopbot.ca/

http://www.pricebat.ca/

http://www.pricefinder.ca/

To see if i can find the same model but cheaper. Then I go to ncix.com and as long as they have the same model available, i use their price match feature, plus they ship FREE of charge most of the time.

If you have any other questions pm me.

Dammit. I left my phone at home, and when I came back, I found that my phone was at 29% battery, it had temple run and angry birds space running on it, and was hella sticky and disgusting.

This is what happens when your 13 year old sister knows how to bypass your face unlock.

And now my phone is giving me a charging error. So I can't charge my phone. After I "confront" my sister, I'm going to try to get this fixed.

If I can't, well, I may be out for a while then. :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
In situations like this, it's best to have a subtle confrontation at first, try to get the details, then figure out the repair method. Once completed, you wil need to embark on a month long journey of antagonizing your sister. Start by gathering her hair ties and scrunchies and flicking them at her like rubber bands. Second, locate her favorite earrings and hide them from her somewhere in her room. From there, you can spray man scent Axe body spray all over her clothes in the closet. Lastly, and this is the most important, sneak into her room one night and put a several freshly caught lizards in there. This will become the ongoing torment you are looking for. Lizards will appear out of nowhere, scare her, then scurry off. Once they start dying off from starvation, she will begin to find their little stiff bodies. This can last for months. I hope this helps with your situation.
