well im a full time welder and I've always liked my job But lately things have been going slow in my life and I feel like i'm just going nowhere in life.

I went to college coming out of high school and blew it off like an idiot. I've always been wanting to go back but I always feel like i'm setting myself up for failure and will just waste my time and money.

I'm 24 years old and now i'm at a point in my life where I have to start getting my **** together, but this welding job is just moving to slow for me.

for the past 3-4 years, I've been learning and working with computers. Im not a pro at it but I know more then the average person.

Well I've been doing a lot of thinking and its time I go back to school to improve my life. i want to get more into the computer world and chase a computer science degree. My question to you guys is, where should I start? I know I need to look into schools, classes etc. what I mean is what can I start studying in the mean time (before I actually start my schooling) so that I can have a head start.
[Off-topic] siloner:
Sorry about that.

What kind of thing do you want to do with computers? Hardware, software, app development, web development, game development, db admin, network admin? There's loads of routes to go down, all dependant on what you want to do.

And if anyone recommends a programming language to you before you answer that question then they don't know what they're talking about. Either that, or they're just saying "this is what I know - look at me - aren't I clever?".

[Off-topic] Archer:
I can't advise you on the network admin side of things, other than you'll need a good degree to get a decent job, or start really at the bottom and work your way up slowly. It's quite a well-educated field, for real pros. There's plenty of hack and slash network admins out there, but they're the type that bring networks down by saying "I wonder what that does!" (I've worked with some of them before ;))
[Off-topic] siloner:
Respect man. I think it gets harder once you have a family. I got a nice girl now and been thinking about settling down but the thought of not being able to provide is the only thing stopping me.

Well my plan is to use my company To pay for my school and at the.same time switch over to the I.T department (which will be no problem). That way I can be hands on while im learning. After im finished, I should have enough.experience to move up, weather its in this company or somewhere else.

Absolutely, good luck with it. I was 22 before I got a qualification in programming, despite developing software since the age of 8. No-one would give me a job without it, so I did a course, got the paper and got a job. Been doing it ever since.

It's good to do something new and start over, as long as it's something you have a passion for.

I'm in medical school now, three years to graduation(but, I'll study another six years after that...). I have this friend, he's, I think over 30 years, and he's at the same "grade" as I am. He also was like you, had a "low-education"(help me here :D ) job, and then he decided to go into Med. I'm kinda proud of him, he's a good inspiration for people like you. It's a long way to become a doc, but it's never too late. I strongly recommend you to go to school, it'll be worth it!

[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
Definitely check out the Community Colleges in your area, especially ones that have really good relationships with the better Engineering/Technical universities in your area. You will save yourself a ton doing your first two years there, and a lot of schools that will even let you get complete your four year degree through associated Community Colleges. You also get the benefit of smaller classes and professors that actually know your name.

I just finished my associates after going on and off forever so don't feel like you're outback because you've waited. Get it done man, you're still well ahead of the curve. If you want to start this fall though you need to go ahead and sign up.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
Hi guys I received for mistake an original extended battery 2000 mah galaxy s2 I measured the height width and thickness and noticed that has the same width and thickness of a 1750 battery of our Gnex,our battery length is about 6.3 cm while the s2 is 5.8 cm so it could enter in the phone's battery compartment further difference is the wattage for hour. s2 battery has 7.4 wh while our has 6.4 wh . Could damage the phone the difference in watts per hour? for the rest I think it could go with the original battery cover ... in the coming days I will publish some photos!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukedc89:
i don't think it could damage the phone

i'm interested to this battery and its life so let tell us if it's working ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk_ln:
Wh is a measurement of the Energy of the battery; it makes sense that the larger battery has a higher Wh rating. If, however, the voltage was different, then it would not likely be safe to use with the nexus. You might also want to check the current rating (in amperes).

;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukedc89:
looking some photos from ebay the voltage should be the same as GNex 3,7 Volt.

Has anyone a confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
Does the battery have NFC? The NFC antenna adds a noticeable amount of bulk, which, depending on the design of the phone, leaves less room for the battery capacity. Not all models of the S2 have NFC, so if this battery is sans NFC then you've got your explanation for the higher capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
yes infact Wh= ah x V so 7,4 wh= 2,0ah x 3,7 V :) where i can check the current rating?

yes it has 3,7 v

mmmm i don't think that has NFC but i don't use it so nevermind XD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk_ln:
should probably say max charge and discharge rate on the battery somewhere
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
mmmmm i don't understand man sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk_ln:
hm...i was just looking at the stock battery, and it seems it doesn't list that information. i would assume that the battery should be fine, but not 100% sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
yes but what is the charge and discharge rate? it will damnage the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mk_ln:
if the galaxy nexus drains power faster than the battery was designed for, then the battery can possibly overheat. the charge rate should be fine, since i think that the i9100 has a similar charger (either 750ma or 1A charge rate).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shilent:
In this case, all that matters is the voltage. That battery will be fine.

Even if the Nexus pulls TWICE the amount of current as the S2(which it does not), the battery will still be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Naffets:
My S2's 2000mah battery is shorter and thicker than the stock 1750mah battery of the nex.

unless there are different s2 extended batteries? im puzzled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
Ok i have recived the battery and it fit with the gnex but not with the stock cover :( after the match (italy Vs Croazia 1-0:D) i Will publish some photos

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tthaz777:
I think stock battery will be better for Galaxy Nexus, even though SGS2's battery can provide longer battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FunkyMcBain:
Man, it doesn't fit under the cover haha I don't think this is a real option for most people :(

In terms of the power ratings, as long as the voltage is the same and the current output is the same or higher everything will be fine. If it was lower than the GNex rating then you'd have a problem because the phone would pull excessive current from the battery that it's not designed for and that would cause 2 things:

1. The battery would heat up too much

2. If the current draw was too high the voltage on the battery would drop and the phone would either start having random crashes or just not work at all

One way or the other, the battery will not damage the phone, it can't "push" more power into the phone than what the phone can handle. If the voltage was wrong you could certainly ruin the phone, but if the voltage is same or lower then it's all good
[Motorola Droid 3] JDiPierro:
I've had a Droid 3 for a little under a year now. For the past few months I was having an 'issue' where the phone would not vibrate when I got an SMS message. Apparently this is a known issue caused by installing a non-stock SMS app from the app-store. I took it to the Verizon store and the guy put in a request for a replacement phone. He knew I'd rooted it and just said to make sure I unroot it, uninstall the bootloader, and factory reset before sending it in. I did all 3 things however the reset didn't reset my custom boot animation so I figured I'd activate the phone real quick, reroot, change that, and unroot. I started the activation process and I get to the "Add Accounts" screen, added my Google account, and hit Done. It asks about location services, I hit "Next" and then com.motorola.setup crashes and I have to force close. If I hit the Home button it takes me right back to the "add accounts" screen and I'm stuck in that infinite loop. I can still receive texts and reply to them from the notifications menu, I can send and receive phone calls with voice commands, I can access the browser, but that's about it. I cannot get to the home screen and I cannot open the settings 'app'.

I brought it back to the Verizon store and they were baffled, told me that Verizon would probably charge me full retail for the replacement if I sent this once back, so I sent back the replacement phone and am stuck with this one now.

I think what caused this is that I had the 'Bloat Freezer' app installed and I had frozen a bunch of the default Verizon apps. I didn't unfreeze them before the factory reset and I have a feeling that's what's causing the issue. I had the idea to re-root the phone and install Bloat Freezer again from the Play store but the Play store isn't recognizing my Droid 3 anymore.

Any suggestions?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Factory reset is a deceiving term. It resets it to factory user data (none) and settings. It doesn't restore the system. What you need is an SBF to flash the entire phone to factory software, overwriting all partitions. First though, you must find which system you had. Since you didn't recently get this phone, did you accept an OTA update within the last month or so? If so, head over to the Dev area and download the stickied SBF file to return you from .906 to .890. If not, there is an SBF in the General area called Quick Unbrick or something like that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcne9tFtBxY
[Motorola Droid 3] JDiPierro:
Awesome! Thanks for the info. I'll give this a try when I get home from work tonight. Do you know if there's any way to tell what version I need without the settings app? Or perhaps if there's a way to forcibly open the Settings app?
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
If you've had your D3 for over a year and have not updated to .906, then you'll need .890. The .906 update is fairly recent (a couple months old I think?) so if you don't explicitly remember taking it, use .890.

Side note, check the rom you used before this happened. Check if it's based on .906 or .890.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Do you know if you enabled USB debugging? (from settings->applictaions->development - check "USB debugging" on.) Many root apps require that.

Anyway, if you did, you can install the Android SDK's adb app and, from a command prompt, you can try to type the following command (with the phone on and cabled to the computer)

adb shell cat /system/build.prop | grep "version"

This should show you a bunch of lines, one of which will be "ro.build.version.full". The system version follows that text on the line - I have last month's OTA, so mine is Blur_Version.5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US (so I have 5.7.906).

You can most easily get adb (for Windows) with instructions from here: http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/

After you get those files unzipped in c:\android, you can start a command prompt by hitting start, type "cmd" and enter in the search box - this will start a black command prompt window. From there, enter the command cd \android and then enter the adb command I put up above.

I'm not sure it will work, but it should.
[Motorola Droid 3] eww245:
You can bypass the activation. Starting with the top left corner, press each corner in a clockwise rotation. This will bring your phone to the home screen so you can then find which version it's on.
[Motorola Droid 3] JDiPierro:
What USB mode should the phone be in for this to work? I definitely had USB Debugging on before I did the factory reset; would that reset it though? When I try the command (minus grep, i'm in Windows unfortunately) I get 'error: device not found'

I had tried this but it still brought me straight to the "Add Accounts" screen, not to the home screen.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Needs to be I. Charge only mode. On stock rom I believe its called none
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
You can grep: because you are running a shell command, I believe it is running on the phone, not on the windows computer.

(The grep is not all that critical, though, as I believe the version number line is one of the last lines displayed by that command.)

You can do an:

adb devices

before you run the shell command to verify that the computer and phone are communicating; it should return a line of characters that represents your phone, if it is connected.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I am rooted, and modified the build.prop to change the app associations lock due to the Apple patent. I can open my Youtube links in the Youtube app, and my calendar invites in the calendar app. However, my web links still open in the stock browser, and I do not get the pop-up to select which app I want to use. The app associations menu in the settings is now gone with the edit. How can I set which apps perform which actions now?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluxbends:
I have recently moved to an S3 after years in iPhone land. Its been mostly great, the S3 is a way more open and powerful platform. However a coupe of small things are driving me nuts.

All I want is my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time for incoming calls. Vibrate and play a tone when an SMS is recieved and neither vibrate or play a tone when an email is recievied (but still pop up the icon in the notification area). Seems simple enough, but it appears to be impossible on the stock phone. The only setting covering vibration in the Sound menu is "Sound and Vibration" but if I tick this the damn phone vibrates for all notifications, even if I have the notification sound set as "Silent".

The most frustrating thing is that is seems vibration settings per app used to be there in the S2, but have been removed in the S3. Now the Messaging and Email Apps do not have a specific vibrate option, rather it is all controlled with the global "Sound and Vibration" option.

My other annoyance is there is no easy way to control the brightness from the notification area (with out installing a crappy app). Once again it appears the S2 had a slider right on the notification pulldown, but for some reason this was removed?!?

I have used up all my Google Fu and have no answers. Can anyone suggest how to do these seemingly simple things in the stock rom, or suggest an app or even rom that has these features.

Thanks.
