Sigh. Very few people know that even though china is well well over 1 billion people, there are more jobs available than people to fill those positions. That is why we hear about these kinds of work conditions. A lot of the blame falls on us, the consumer. Yeah i said it. It is just like countries that produce drugs like cocaine because they can because their is a high demand. And another thing that might be hard to believe but isn't if you think about it, is the fact that a lot of places like those that make synthetic drugs or whatever, have no idea what they're making and what for. You just show up, do as much as you can, and hope you get paid, or can graduate from school, or your family doesn't get killed or just plain ole hope i don't go hungry today. Reality folks. When keepin' it real goes wrong.

If there were more jobs than people, work conditions would be better.....to attract more workers.

I spent the first 7 years of my career working for electronics manufacturers, five years at an Android phone manufacturer, and two years at a cell phone component supplier (iPhone, and all high end Android phones). I've been to China and been inside the factories where the phones and components are made.

Most people would be amazed at these places....

Why not? Isn't this the general section? There have been much more off-topic threads here, so this one shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, it's a good thing people become aware of these issues. But I'm somewhat amazed by responses such as: "all companies do this", "I was working when I was 14". I don't think people are aware of the conditions these children work in...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
That is pretty short sighted. It is a lot more complicated than that. There are plenty ;f ways to find out but it is not limited to technology. Clothes manufacturing, textile, construction etc. Some of the perks to work at X company is we feed you bigger bowls of rice with company provided meals. That is not a joke or exaggerating the problem in any way. We hear stories of forced, blackmailed and child labor and what not but the teenage population is lining up en masse hoping a factory job is a ticket out of the country/farming or a better education. Often times it is also to feed the aging population back in the villages as there isn't really a 'market' to take care of the elderly in china. Either your kids love you and they do it just because, or your old ass ends up on the street. And being homeless in china is shameful. Very shameful. Much of it is elderly people that cant take of themselves. And chances are in china, that homeless bum you walk by doesn't live in a two story and drive a mercedes when he/she "gets off work". They're hoping they have enough change for a bowl of rice at the end of the day and some hole they can crawl in to protect them from the elements.

Both I'd say. On one hand, its awesome to see how efficient and fast these places run.

On the other hand, its not a great working environment. Its probably about 99% young women working at these places and they all look like emotionless robots. These factories are in these giant industrial parks, and most the workers live in dorms near the factory. Turn over is insane, and the pay is low.

Can you elaborate? Also Apple and Android aren't even 7 years old... Android just turned 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
The Executive Director of Amnesty International USA wrote an enlightening book called "In Our Own Best Interest". Amazing book. He argues that it is actually MORE profitable and productive for business to have decent labor standards, bans on child labor, fair wages, and respect for the environment . His arguments are compelling. It seems counterintuitive to think these could actually strengthen a capitalist company, but he provides plenty of evidence and logical that it does. That said, any company using child labor should be stopped by any means the law allows for.

What's the difference in this and farmers in America using under aged kids to work in their fields. When I was 11 12 years old I used to go with my parents to fields to pick peas or cotton. And this all happens to this day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
There are child labour in every 3rd world country on the planet. No point pointing fingers at US companies.

The kids are given jobs because they need it. Its similar to teens working to pay for themselves or helping out the family.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
Let's be honest... this isn't a problem caused by Samsung, Apple, or China for that matter. Nearly every county (even 1st-world, socially progressive countries) have child labor in their history. We just happen to have moved on from that, and have taken a moral stance against it after the time where we needed/benefited from child labor locally. China is just in the crosshairs because their society is still "coming up", and with 1.3 billion people, it takes a long time to come up as a whole.

Okay for the slimbean rom there are several download links and the thread does not specify which to download, also the same for the codefirex jellybean nightlies again serveral files but not specified which I should download. I downloaded a file for the liquidsmooth jelly bean and it says the files could not be copied to my device. Can someone please help with these questions? Just got my S3 and really would love to put a rom on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not on that rom, I'm presently on Cleanrom however I did take a look a SlimBean's OP. I clicked download and I am taken to their website and I was able to find our download link under Downloads/Current Release. Is this where you were lost? It's the one that ends in "d2vzw" which is our device's code name in the build.prop. When on a site with multiple device download links, look for our device as described above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AB_:
I actually had the same question, thanks ^^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
CodeFireX is separated by dates even though they are all in the same page. I'm not sure what you meant by which one to download. Nightlies are released everyday (ok night but whatever) and you just select usually the latest and go from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] revofev:
thank you all, i have downloaded the liquidbean rom but none of my short cuts work and i dont see the play store, i cant double click the home button and the web doesnt work i can only access settings, do i have to restore to factory then re root and go through the process all over?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm not seeing a rom by the name of "LiquidBean" on xda. You have a link? Also, is it an AOSP rom? The name sounds like it is, in which case you need to flash the Gapps zip as well. GApps =Google Apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] revofev:
Sorry I could not edit, it is liquid smooth. How do I flash google apps? I thought I did install it then I rebooted and do not see the playstore or any other google app also I can not access the multitask. Did I destroy my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Take a deep breath, it's not as bad as you think it is. For AOSP roms, you always download the rom and associated GApps zip from the OP. Just below the download link in the Liquid Smooth OP, there is a link to download the Gapps. Normally, when you flash the rom you go back to "choose zip from sd card" and flash the Gapps zip as well THEN boot into the rom. AOSP roms require you to flash both zips in recovery before flashing the rom so you can access anything you need from Google. Assuming you're by a computer, do the following:

1) download that GApps zip to your sd card

2) flash it since you've already flashed the rom

Enjoy. If the rom seems unstable after an hour or day (which wouldn't surprise me given some of the comments within that thread), flash a different one and see how that is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] revofev:
Thank you so much. Another question, the liquid smooth ROM is based off Jellybean? I can no longer search within my phone, edit my font, my phone doesn't tell me when to unplug my charger, the led light blinks instead of staying on, and a few other features that were on ICS. Is it because of the specific rom or did Jellybean take away those features? I think I like ICS better and will search for the thread to unroot and go back to my stock rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
go back to custom stock rom such as beans or synergy! no need to unroot, wipe data in cwm and flash. use my guide linked in sig if u like.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xerax:
I have an HTC HD7 and It's on SPL 5.11.2250.0, and I want to try out the WP7.8 ROM on it. I've never actually flashed my device before, so I'm a bit new to this.

I'm aware I need to downgrade the SPL first, but the tutorials I have found are all for 5.10, and I can't find any for 5.11.

Thanks, Alex.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
The tutorials for the SPL 5.10 are for all SPL 5.xxx in general and will work for you.

The steps to install a custom rom are - Downgrade the SPL to at or below 3.xxx (which is required to install RSPL/HSPL) download and install RSPL/HSPL by DFT and then download and install a custom rom of your choice.

There are basically only 3 methods available for downgrading 5.xxx

1. Goldcard/ Y cable method - Requires a Y cable, (female too 2 male USB cable) either purchased or home made, SD card reader and a 1gb to

4gb SD card (larger cards will work but need to be formatted to FAT32 and partitioned) or a flash drive. Card reader works better though.

Download Goldcard tool and stock/shipped Pre-NoDo/NoDo rom.

2. Zune restore point by Zubair - Restore your device through Zune. Only works if you updated your device from a Pre-Mango state to Mango and still have the PC that you used to do it on. When you restore the device it doesn't change the SPL, it changes the SPL when you re-update your device through Zune thought. The key point is the device will restart twice when it installs Mango, once to change the SPL to 4.xxx and once to install Mango and at this point you have to stop the update before it installs the next update which is which he HTC Firmware Update or your SPL will be changed to 5.xxx again. One the device is on 4.xxx just follow the tutorial for downgrading 4.xxx

3. SLSPL by Ansar - Work on Europe devices with Firmware Revision Number ending in.401 and can work on TMobile devices that are SIM unlocked.

Just follow Shadows step by step tutorial on downgrading SPL, flashing XSPL and installing a custom rom. All the links for the above methods are listed in the downgrading SPL 5.xxx and it also has all the stock/shipped rom links and the link for RSPL/HSPL.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blasonati89:
Hi, i tried the gold card method! I've only tried it with a usb hub instead of the cable to y, do you think this does not make me start the downgrade? the phone is in fact doing research on the combination button camera + vol-+ power and go into the screen usb host mode and remains so even if the appearance 3/5 minutes ... then I say wait a t-flash usb to micro sd instead of the Micro SD card reader, do you think one of 2 things is the cause? or all 2? let me know if you know anything thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redseablues:
I am not able to access the hboot menu on my HTC Desire (8181) with power+vol down keys after rebooting. It is running Froyo 2.2 and I think the hboot version was 0.93 ( from what I remember from before).

How much ever I try, the phone just boots normally & continues to load the ROM (official 2.2 load). I have tried the suggestions on other threads to remove the battery for some time & then try (same behavior), disabling fast boot option in applications (which does not exist in Froyo for HTC desire), keeping the SD card out etc without any success.

I want to load a custom rom (ICS probably) and hence want to check the HBOOT version (S-off status, PVT4 or not etc) for the next steps, but I am just not able to access the hboot menu screen.

Any recommendations please on how to access the HBOOT menu on my HTC Desire?

Thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stumpalitious:
Hey, I used to run CM9 on my phone, and eventually got tired of not having a few things work, so I flashed back to stock (rooted) GB for the time being. I was wondering what are the steps to go from what I have flashed now, to something like sbrissen's AOSP JB ROM or CM10. Like what files should I flash and in what order so I don't brick my phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] syed239:
Things you'll need: Odin, EL26 file (.tar version), Calks format all, JB ROM (I like CM10 but it's up to you) and Gapps for JB

Make a nandroid (if you dont have a custom recovery, go to next step). Boot into Odin mode and open up Odin on your computer and flash the EL26 file in the PDA version (turn off F reset time). Then go to recovery, (make a nandroid if you didn't before), wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache, (optional but recommended: flash Calks format all) and then flash whichever ROM you want and then flash the jb gapps and reboot

Almost all of the devs have instructions on their threads so you could follow that too. Hope this helps and happy flashing!

So I wanted to use what was left of my free Google dollars and the NFC system at the store I was at didn't want to cooperate. I did a quick search online said to try and reset the app with the reset option in the app itself. It said it would erase the purchase and card data etc. I figured it meant the data in just the app so when I reloaded the app I expected my Google card to still be in there, as if attached to my Google account, but its not in wallet any more. Does anyone know if this card can be restored? I find it hard to believe that Google would permanently erase a prepaid card with potentially you putting real money into it. I tried going into the site where you can manage your wallet, but it just asks me if I want to add a credit card.

I only had my phone for about 9 months now. Just recently i encountered this problem.

My phone will not charge unless i hold the wire in a weird way. It get detected by pc fine with no problems, but i do have to hold it a weird way again to into storage. I've tried every charger there is in my house including the stock one they gave me with the phone. Changed the rom and still. I even bought a new battery, still same problem. The only way for me to charge it without having a nervous breakdown is externally charging the batteries.

Whats the best way to handle this? Do i do this through insurance? Do i got a warranty of some sort?

Also, I'm currently rooted and have a custom Rom if i do go through insurance or warranty i need to know if there is any extra steps other then unrooting and going back to stock ics.

Thanks ahead of time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Call T-Mobile or chat with them. Go through warranty with them. They'll tell you to call back from a different phone if you're on that phone because they want you to factory reset it. From my experience, that doesn't do anything. I just pretend that I am since i know it's a hardware problem..they tell you to do it anyways because it's just protocol.

Say the problem is still present and they will issue a warranty exchange and charge $5 for overnight shipping
