Rarely start threads but I had to start a second one today. This is too funny.

What Google is doing here is absolutely ****ing classic!!

I don't condone piracy but I also don't condone third parties being cost money in the dispute between copyright holders and copyright infringers.

Under the DMCA copyright holders are allowed to issue takedown requests for supposed infringements. Well instead of them taking on the actual sites that hold the offending materials or torrents, they have started sending takedown requests to search engines. Thus costing a third party money. Many search engines are considering starting to charge for requests. And rightly so.

Last week Google alone received over 700,000 requests.

A few weeks ago, Google started publishing stats for these requests.

Well now they have started publishing the actual requests. ROTFLMAO.

What this does is actually create a database of links to "pirated" material.

So copyright holders have their takedown requests published. Those requests contain links to the offending material. So they have accomplished NOTHING. Additionally, they now have to issue another takedown request to Google for the aforementioned original takedown request. Well that gets published and, boom, another link to pirated material is generated and published.

And so on, and so on, and so on.......

It is puuuuuurrrree genious/evil!!!

Now maybe companies will start taking on the actual offenders instead of third parties.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DangerIsGo:
I have a Pioneer DEH-P690UB head unit in my car and before I got my iPhone, I had an iPod connected to it via USB (and before that, just a simple flash drive) which the unit was able to read and play music from. Once I got my iPhone, it could not read music via USB, but it still allowed it to charge via USB. Now with the S3, I connected it to the USB, and its an endless loop of "Connected as media device" displayed on the phone, <Charging>, "N/A USB" displayed on the head unit, and stops charging. I've tried switching USB types from media to photo, and allowing USB debugging to no avail. The reason I ask, is because I can see it on the PC as pretty much a USB storage device. Ive tried taking out the SD card and having a single song in the base directory displayed (/mnt/sdcard). Nothing. Are there other USB settings I could possibly tinker with? I really don't want to get a car adapter and rather use this, but if I have to, then I have to.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nojak:
My Pioneer won't recognize it either. From what I understand, if you use a USB device, all of the songs have to be in the device's root directory. Obviously, you can't do this with the S3, so, it basically doesn't have the ability to work.

Just like my deck, yours has a built-in rear auxiliary input. I'd either use that or Bluetooth. Those are really your only options, unless you want to get a new deck with front auxiliary, or use an FM transmitter (which sounds horrible).

I'm going to check out the rear auxiliary input on mine today, and see if I just need a cable, or if I have to use some adapter from Pioneer. I'm assuming it's an adapter, but we'll see.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 PM ----------

Well, after looking, the rear auxiliary input just needs the normal 3.5mm mini plug cable. No adapter necessary (thank goodness).

You can probably just take it to Best Buy and have ask them to pop it out for you without having to pay. They're usually pretty cool about that, as it only takes them a few seconds. I would suggest not trying to pop it out yourself, as each manufacturer has specific little tools for taking their decks out.

After they get it out, just plug a cable in and route it, and pop it back in.

I am running Sttwl Droid 2.3.7 on my Dx. For the first couple days everything was smooth. Then i started noticing that my battery meter percentage was only going down and charging by intervals of 10. I have let the phone die, and then charge to 100 percent in hopes of recalibrating the battery. I have also cleared battery stats. Any idea of why this may be happening?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tunngavik:
There has been a few comments on this forum about the Xperia S's back battery cover not seating perfectly flush with the top right or left side of the phone. e.g. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540459&highlight=battery+cover

I had the same problem and found a solution. I had a regular sized SIM card that I trimmed to fit into the phone but I guess that unless you trim it to a perfect size then the battery cover won't fit.

I trimmed the SIM card to be flush with the top of the SIM slot - there should be a minimum or no extra plastic from the SIM card above the SIM port. Now my phone back cover seats perfectly. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Growly_:
In the UK, the sim cards supplied with the Xperia S from providers are really small i will take a photo and upload it in an edit just to give people an idea of how small they should be if they come across this issue they can trim it to the size of mine :)

[General Questions and Answers] Unrelashade:
Hi guys,

I am interested in HTML5 apps and I want to know if there is a method for them to save data on the client side, e.g. on the phone. Will it only use the so called HTML5 local/ session storage (extended cookies)? Is that not very complicated/ less useful than current local storage methods? Or is there a way to locally export and import data (per javascript?) on the go? (that has to be every time you start the app...)

I am confused and will be very grateful to be enlightened :)
[Off-topic] guyandhisdog:
What would you do for data recovery?

What if it failed due to overheating?

What if the manufacturer knew it was a faulty design and changed the new model to have significantly more (than 0) air vents?
[Off-topic] WiredPirate:
This may sound stupid but put it in the freezer, it may be the best chance you have to get your data off (short of paying a professional). Keep in mind that its not going to work forever but you should have enough time to recover the most important things. And no I'm not trolling, you can Google it.
[Off-topic] StormMcCloud:
You can't have air vents in a hard drive. HDDs are built in hermetically sealed chambers because even a speck of dust on one of the plates would cause the drive to mess up.

Also Solid State drives are going to wipe out hard drives in a few years anyways.
[Off-topic] 85gallon:
I have done this before. Freeze, recover some data. Freeze again, recover more. Will not work for the click-o-death though! LOL
[Off-topic] guyandhisdog:
Sorry, let me clarify...

It is a 2tb USB 3.0 external hard drive. I meant no vents in the enclosure, not in the actual drive. Also, the overheating fried the PCB so too late for the freezer. The drive was used less that 15 hours over 6 months. So maybe the actual hdd still has my data but I can't access it with a cooked PCB.
[Off-topic] LancerEVA06:
Buy another identical hard drive and swap controllers.

Or contact the manufacturer and see if they'll recover data, since it is in the warranty period.

[Off-topic] svtfmook:
not really concerned about data recovery. my data is backed up redundantly to my file server as well as weekly images of my system.

so if a drive fails, swap it out, move the back up over to the new drive and it's like nothing happened. or if my SSD fails, just replace and restore via system image.

i have had drives starting to fail, that i have saved data from. as soon as they start clicking, pop them into the freezer for an hour, plug it in and copy/image it to another drive as quickly as possible.

Remember that you can return the phone within 14 days of it shipping. AKA today is last day for people whose phone shipped on the 3rd. Also remember to be nice to the sales people :)

The sales rep next to me talked about how the reason the phone shipped late was because they where putting on the bootloader and that the sales reps had no idea it was locked when the phone shipped. When I asked him if were getting it unlocked he said hes too low level to know 0.o

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] JohnM:
Not exactly. With the Galaxy Nexus you have the full google + AOSP experience and the most developer support. Updates right after source drops, most ROMs, best CM support, etc...

The software on the Gnex gives it a huge plus.

The Galaxy S3 has touchwiz and updates take an extremely long time by samsung. Cyanogenmod usually gets nightlies for the new release but isn't stable for a while again and this can take a few months.
