Thanks, what sort of feeds are you subscribed too?

I think I need to do something like this. Also, is it productive for developers to be on G+? Is there a benefit?

You know the answer to the question about solving a problem was to go to the original source, like wordpress has their own codex/reference site. Php has theirs, jQuery and all that. I use those site but didn't even consider stating it in the interview.

I plan to stick at it, since its putting food in my plate but I need to get better since like yesterday! Its been my life since January, really focusing on it but now trying to get a balance in my life back again.

Do you have any advice or pointers that you'd like to share from your experience please?

Thanks for your time Archer :D
[Off-topic] Archer:
Here's a list of the feeds I have on the "development" tab of my home page...

MSDN .Net Blog

Android Developers Blog

Visual C# News

Windows Phone Developers Blog

jQuery Blog

Just have a search for blogs that are relevant to your interests and most of them will either work as an RSS feed direct, or will have an RSS or Atom link, both of which are perfect for iGoogle (or other RSS readers).

I do use G+, but not in a professional capacity at all. To be honest though, I don't use any social networks for anything professional. I probably would if I had my own business and needed to market myself, but I don't so it's just not relevant.

As for pointers, the only thing I can really say is that when someone presents you with a challenge, look at it as an opportunity to enhance your knowledge and skill-set. I've seen many programmers respond with "Yeah, you can't do it like that. We'll do it like this instead." That's bull. There's virtually nothing you can't make your computer or website do, with just some imagination and perseverance. And it goes without saying, the more you enjoy it the better you're likely to be at it.

So what field are you going into? You said you've been doing it since January, but I expect you've been doing it a lot longer than that. Is this your first time developing as a career?

I just want to let everyone know that I was plagued by the evil reboot problem a lot of us Atrix owners was/are experiencing. 15-20 a day for the last year or so. I tried every solution possible to no avail until I finally decided to replace the SIM card. Guess what..........not a single reboot in a few days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone who has this problem should replace their SIM card. AT&T store replaced mine for free!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
I added an experimental feature to my free Earpiece app which lets you almost mute the camera click and autofocus on stock 2.3 for the E4GT. Doesn't need root. I only tested on EL29. I am curious if it works on other OS versions and devices, but the E4GT is the only Android phone I have.

To use this feature, run Earpiece, press MENU, and then select the quiet camera option. In my experience, the autofocus can be heard quietly but the camera click is only audible if your ear is right up to the device.

I am curious if this works on anything other than E4GT with stock 2.3. If it doesn't work for you but you want it to, get Android Log Collector, take a photo with the stock camera app, go to log collector, and email me the log (arpruss at gmail dot com).

Earpiece does a few other audio-related things, like automatically switching between speaker and earpiece in phone calls based on proximity, boosting audio, and allowing you to listen to media through the earpiece speaker (e.g., so you can listen to radio without earphones in public, looking like you're just talking on the phone).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EVOSerb:

Works very well and integrates SMS, MMS and Voicemail into one app - it's sort of a "super" visual voicemail" - plays back voicemails nicely. I prefer it to VVM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
Lol voicemail. What an ancient concept.

TextSecure for SMS and mms. Encrypts your texts locally and if the receiver is using textsecure as well then the text can be encrypted from end to end.

I won't go into detail about why I need this but there it is. Use it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
It may be ancient but I at least wanna know what the message was that was left. VVM isn't even close most of the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ElAguila:
I installed this app and it looks nice. I did find out though that after doing this, I could no longer send messages using the stock app nor using handcent. But I may stick with this app.

Update: Well I uninstalled this app and I still can't get my stock app or handcent to send a text message. Any ideas how to fix this? Getting to just do a nandroid restore.

Hi Youngers! :D

I got a friend's Y that doesn't have any signal or service with a working SIM. It only displays an X on top of the empty signal bars. I configured it's APN, and flashed another modem , but it's still doesn't work. Any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] glennlevi:
Try some troubleshooting. Test his sim on another phone and see if it works there.

Is he on a custom rom? Creeds Rom 3.4 had a bug where you cant see the signal even though it has a signal. Can he still send messages even when signal bar is X?

Also, APN wont do anything for the signal, its only for mobile internet browsing with your carrier. Hmmm... are you talking about surfing through your carrier? or basic services like calls and texts?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] EmmaHAARP:
Thanks for replying! It's running creed's v2. When you try to place a call it says "Mobile Network not Available". I tried his SIM card on an unlocked Atrix 4G and it made a call successfully. Texting doesn't work either. He said when he had this problem he took it to some unlock/repair shop and they failed to state what exactly was causing this.

hey pal i also encountered this kind of problem before after patching Creeds ROM. What i did was I reflash the rom with stock Galaxy Y via ODIN or after the first successful boot of selected customize ROM. then you will need to apply the CSC depending on what network your country has. like mine i choose either from SMA/GLB/XTE. just dial #272* IMEI code.

Try flashing this. It's for ICS based roms, but it sets permissions on 3 files that cause your phone to not fully go to sleep :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
Do these files install in the correct location? I was reading a discussion not long ago where some thought /system/bin and some thought /system/xbin. There was also a mention of setting permissions.

Edit:

I just remembered that I also downloaded a file from your Goo Atrix page. It is a different file size from the link you posted in the message I am replying to.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3Bill:

I looked at the script and a recent flash of jokersax v070, the permissions are already set to root:shell 744 (rwxr-xr-x) on the directory and files, so no need to flash on that rom in my opinion

Happens with CM9 here, but only at my work. At my home wifi sleep works.

I'm testing the solution given here:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23211

Wifi entered sleep normally after the change. I will test more.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaidtan:
I can also confirm that the phone will deep sleep and that WIFI will sleep with this patch on Jokersax' CM9 0.7.0.0. Without the patch neither of those things worked.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
If you look at the scripts you'll see that jokersax 070 already performs the steps contained in this script and on a phone without this applied the files do correctly reflect the permissions per this script. I can see that you are battling with this issue, as many are, but considering the two scripts are identical, it makes no senses to make this claim. I do believe you regarding the symptoms. And I am unable to offer an explanation regarding the apparent change on your phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epinter:
I can say it's really working with the solution I post in #16

Call me simple but I am obviously missing a fundamental concept that enables me to isolate the method and file we are editing here.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th3Bill:
Not editing any files. The fix simply sets permissions on 3 existing files. That is all.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwatmyself:
Thanks but we already established that the permissions are already set correctly for those files on Jokersax 070.

The question was regarding the method linked to on Google code.

Why is it the shift is always last? I feel like we're running a old slow beat-up race car in the Indy 500. I mean look at the OG Evo 4G and all the roms it has and the specs of the device are much lower :confused:

They also have AOKP Nightly builds as well as Unofficial CM9 Nightly builds. I guess a lot of developers that had the OG Evo when they upgraded went straight to the Evo 3D skipping the shift :sigh:
[EVO Shift 4G General] notsointeresting:
Actually you'd be surprised. Most just stayed with the OG EVO when the evo 3d released. A lot of devs are coming to the LTEVO straight from the OG . Plus the ones coming from the Evo 3d is going to make those sub forums a mess. Glad they have a bunch of mods there

Well I did the update stuck my sim card in the device and it works well.phone calls and textswork good. In the begining itsaid 3G on the signal bar. Today I took the tablet outside my home and after an hour the 3G turned into a H. While in the H mode I can't acess the web browser but in 3G it worked well. The other issue I have is in the 3G mode netflix doesn't seem to connect. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] wwolf771177:
After doing some searching I have read that the springboard cannot do talk/text AND web bur only talk/text which really sux. So has anyone found out a way to make it possible to use all three features?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eighty-four:
3G means base UTMS. H means HS*PA, 3,5G, standard that improves performance.

Android always switching to HS*PA, when some app requires internet connection and it's supported by network. When no apps seeking for connection Android reverts to base UMTS to improve network availability and to safe battery.

You need to check network settings. Or better contact your operator for that. Everything should work unless your operator have a problem with HS*PA.

But something tells me you are not honest with us. It didn't work for you in 3G. But you just installed Android 4 and forgot to mention that you didn't try yet mobile data on Android 4. You think that it was working in 3G because Android 3 based firmwares missed H icon, but in fact every time you connected by mobile network, device was switching into HS*PA mode without letting you know.

So there 3 points to you:

1. Check if APN is set correctly;

2. Check if you installed correct ROM that support bands of your operator (there is a lot of different versions - 301u, 301w, 302u, 303u etc);

3. Make sure HS*PA is not broken on operator side.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] wwolf771177:
1.Here are my APN settings they should be correct (sorry for the big pics)

2. This is the rom I installed " [ROM][ICS] [UNOFFICIAL] Root-ready Huawei MediaPad/SpringBoard ICS International" doyou know of one that works with S7-303u

3. I doubt my carriers HS*PA (T-Mobile) is broken.

And why would I lie in a forum? After I installed the rom I put my cell phones sim card in the device and it was showing 3G signal. I opened the brower and it went to my home page (Google.com) I checked e-mail... after I noticed the signal turned to H icould no longer access the web in either 3G or H. Whenever I opened the browser it just goes straight to T-Mobile login and it wasn't doing it before.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] eighty-four:
Can't say anything about it further of what i've said. Don't know T-Mobile settings and don't know if 301u version would fully work on 303u. That thread says HSPA+ (or as they call it 4G) wouldn't work with 301u firmware. But theoretically HSDPA, HSUPA and HSPA should work, unless T-Mobile have different set of bands.

You better ask in that thread. May be there is someone with T-Mobile experience.
