- 1. totally agree.

- 2. yes the plan is the same you propose. i just want to give more points depending on difficulty. so for N moves i give N points for times less than required. if time is even less than required for N-1 moves i will give N + (N-1) points and so on. (these are the extra points for fast play. i will of course give the normal reward 1+2+3+...+N)

thanks for the input man :good:. i will put these into action. not sure how difficult it will be to send the results to online database but first i will code all these rules to the score system.

[Android Apps and Games] dotstudio:
hi guys,

i am getting there :) but not quite ready. i managed to add the time reward scoring. also added saving of best score. and added online database that stores best results and keeps ranking. i want to add some more variables to get sotred in database to allow more complex rankings and then need to test.

http://www.dotstudio.co.uk/game/pl_high_scores.php?pl_user=20

i decided against entering names or emails for the ranking table. each device gets unique id in database, so each player knows what is his current ranking position. i want to keep track of entire games completed so i can have not only best score but average score of completed games.

also i found two bugs in current version - one makes game hang when generating levels. another bug is when u finish last level. i fixed these but will upload with everything else. soon i hope....

best regards

d.

p.s. i may record a video of game play with scoring and everything new.

[Android Apps and Games] dotstudio:
hi guys,

I uploaded version 2.0.0 of the game.

The game has a scoring system, that grants points for each completed level. Additional points are granted for fast solutions. The 'Key' help system is now spending earned points to reveal solutions. Every new game starts with 1 point bonus that can be spent by new players to solve the first level. The game also features now a ranking system. Each player can insert an email that will be used as an unique ID. So everyone can now compete with other players.

here is a link to the new youtube video

Screen Dimming?

Thank you. I wanted to ask you: Should I prevent screen dimming during play time. Sometimes when I think too long it is a bit distracting. Or that will drive away people that like to save their battery.
[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
Either way works for me. Doesn't bother me that much if u keep it always on or not.

And, i only play games at home. As most of the big screen phone owners, probably. I rather now risk having any kind of surprise with the battery life during daytime.

But let's hear all the oppinions :) majority matters!

How to complete levels 1-30 DEMO

hi guys!

This is a demo of the first 30 levels of Pick Lock Free game. Each new game generates random levels but the strategies are always the same. The video shows how to solve levels with 1,2,3 and 4 moves solutions. One can easily score 200 points in 5 minutes. My basic rule is always to find out which is the last move I have to perform, then the one before it, etc. Other thing that helps a lot is the practice. If you play more than one game you will start to "see" the solutions before even think about them - at first only the easy ones, but then more complex which contain the easy ones you already "see".

Good luck and... write your name on the best scores list!

Man, this must be an unique game. From all the 5000 installs, only one man (you) managed to find will and patience and sharpness of mind to solve all levels. Or it may be too boring :)
[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
Haha. Thank you!

Told you once, you should make a second version of it, of only 30 levels. Including all dificulty grades.

Even i find it hard to play it till the end many times. Havent played it since you relesead the last update. I feel like i need a very boring athmosphere to fully play the game.

But choosing a couple of levels yeah, i've done that. In the end, i got no stake left here. No one beat my record yet :))

And..... are they 5000 unique downloads? I might have downloaded it like 5-6 times alone :p

Congrats to YUD 285 pts (2013-06-01).

looks like more and more people manage to clear the first 30 games. maybe i need to create a "how to" movie for next 30, but i must admit these are not easy. last 30 levels are done by only one player so far - CAT 2153 pts (2013-02-22) and not once but at least 10 times 3 of which recorded on the "best score" site. keep on playing guys!

[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
If it didnt take this long (even for me, who already finished it many times) to play one end to end game, i'd still play it and even a lot more often, but each time i start a new one, i play like 30-60 levels and i get bored when the more complex show up :)) after u think so intensly for lime 5-8-10 minutes, many times having to start the lock all over again once or twice, when you're done with the level u feel a huge release and satisfaction that doesnt go that well with the thought of starting a new level that requires the same amount of thinking as the previous. And do that for 15-20 times in a row till u finnaly finish the game.

Thats why i, who has already finished it and not just once, find it more easyer to let it go when the more complex levels show up aand i really have to start thinking. If i had a motivation like having to retake my record back :p id surely play more complete games :))

So for me a 30 level game having all kind of levels, but in a third of the amount they are now, would suit my needs better in order to play a full game when im bored.

If anyone else feels like this, "subscribe" to this message with a reply or thanks or however else u wish :)

Game is great, i still love it, probably always will, but it bores me a lil in the end. I aint the patient type of guy :))

A nice addition to my jQuery Mobile scores page.

Hi guys,

Recently I reached 8000 installs and the number of active installs is gradually rising. In the mean time I worked on a jQuery plugin that nicely fits in my jQuery mobile scores page. It is a countdown that has numbers of features. It looks like this:

Saw quite a lot of new guys played this AWESOME game in 2014! I also remembered about it and added 2 more games there to my count :) i started "digging" a bit into the last levels in hope of finding some fast solutions and i managed to get a few patterns out of them. Hope i can add another 150 to that record when i have more time to play.

I wish more would play this game! I really love it once more now that i "rediscovered" it these days :) i feel it deserves way more attention than it has received so far.

And i also hope you're doing well, Dot! Cheers! ;)

Hei Vlad!

Hi Vlad,

I just saw your post from two years ago :). Thank you for playing it. You are still the World's Champion! We got a new kid at home about 2 years ago and I just stopped doing anything outside my 9to5 job, because kids are just ... demanding :). Game reached like 13 000 downloads, but only about 550 active. Gradually dying I guess.

I hope you are well,

[Android Apps and Games] CataVlad:
Doing decent, cant complain :) happy to hear the good news!

And at the same time sad to see the game didnt catch the attention it deserved. But its a cool game even now! You did a fantastic job! I still download it everytime i change the roms :))) and still play it here and there, but dont have the patience to finish it. I might do it again these days, just to prove myself i can still do it :))

Im happy to have heard from you! Best wishes from this side of the danube! :) and maybe you can do something to resurrect the game, idk[emoji14]Cheers!

Hello guys. I'm currently trying to fix a friends HOX that fell and now the screen doesn't always display image although we can see it always lighting up (it turns on but stays black) .

If I press hardly the HOX's area in red while turning it ON, it works fine. I'm assuming this could be some broken welding points but would like your opinion.

I'm thinking of heating the area with a heat gun, but I'm afraid I'll kill the rest of the phone... what do you think?

Also, after disassembling the phone, the vibration stopped working and I've checked every flat cable and every connector I could find...no ideas to fix this one since it was working before I cracked the phone open.

Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Tks
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

Possibly a chip has become partly detached from the solder ball grid array due to the shock of the fall. You will not be able to repair this by heating, even if you could reach the melting point of the solder.

The manufacturer would repair by replacing the circuit board and the existing one would be considered unserviceable.

Regards

Couldn't you pack the inside of the housing at the point where you need to apply pressure? Using a piece of card or something. Hardly ideal but would make it functional again
[HTC One X] casca:
That has been my first attempt, and it's better but still, not enough.

I'm going to disassemble it for the tenth time in a final effort...

tks for the tip though! :)
[HTC One X] casca:
So, I've just realized the back metal plate comes out nicely and I think I've found the problem for the GPU issue... that small component on the red area has a broken piece lol (WTF!)

I have applied pressure directly on top of it and I think it will be usable like this, but it now needs a bit of daily use to check if I'm right or wrong.

Can anyone identify what component type is that?

Also, unfortunately (and I don't have a clue how this has happened), the vibration stopped working after opening the phone on the first time, any one has any ideas of what to look for? I don't see any flex cable cut or any other damaged parts...

Tks guys.
[HTC One X] casca:
Problem solved, some back pressure on the broken piece and the hox is good to go.

The only thing still not working is the vibration...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wolfclan68:
I've been running deck's version for a couple months, keep updating, but GPS never works. And, yes I've tried the nand to sense and back.

Well, deck hasn't pushed an update on almost a week. No complaints, we all need down time. Not that he's actually taking down time, he could be pushing a huge update who knows.

Being a flashing addict, I decided to throw the official cyanogenmod version to get my flashing fix. I popped open GPS essentials, and bam fix in a few seconds. Not only that from inside my house, near a window it tracked 15 sats and locked 13.

Just thought I'd share, I know a lot of folks would love to have some GPS with their Jelly Bean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ticklemepinks:
gps has been working on deck rom, and yes he is working on a kinda big update
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Oddly..never once had any problems with GPS or locking. Always locks down to a foot or so on any ROM I have used so far, lucky I guess but haven't seen too many complaints of GPS related issues. This cell is like the OG EVO, every model is slightly different with results especially with OCing etc.. Glad it works for you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wrxlvr:
My GPS has been working for months. But I did have to do the "flash to a Sense ROM" thing. Looking forward to the big update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wolfclan68:
I'm surprised at the response. I've heard a lot of complaints about GPS with CM10. I have flashed every one of deck's updates as they came out from the IRC channel. I have even done full wipe multiple times, just to make sure it was clean. And never once have I had GPS work. Weird!

I guess each unit is different. Just odd that it instantly began working with the official nightly. It just seems too coincidental.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Did you get a good solid lock while on a sense ROM before going to recovery to flash AOSP. Works for me.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I haven't had a single issue but those who are need to either run GPS status to clear cache and download new agps data or flash sense and use ##gpsclrx# to clear cache and then open maps to get a lock and flash back to cmx. It's not ideal but it works
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustwun77:
I can empathize with the thrill of having working GPS on an aosp rom.

Both on the OG Evo and this LTE it has been hit or miss for me.

I tended to shy away from aosp roms in the first place since CM7 and the endless bootloops some were having off of it on the OG.

When i would try one i liked and then the GPS and Nav wouldn't work, it would really be a drag. I would jump through all sorts of hoops to try to get it working but sometimes it would just not work for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Hey DW!

I did the get a "sense GPS lock, leave it locked, then go and flash cm10." That Scott mentions.

It worked fine. I've been using it all week with Google now and no issues.

Naters
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] H0wdy:
I'm using CM10 and having constant issues with google maps stopping in the middle of navigating, etc. This has been going on a few months.

Is this the same issue? Is there any way to fix this without reflashing/losing settings, etc?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
If its been a few months then it sounds like you are on a old ROM. I'd try the newest one. Or go to recovery and try fixing permissions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] H0wdy:
Thanks for the response, but that's lasted through a few versions of cm10, I think.

A few weeks ago, goomanager prompted for upgrade to cm10 and I did it. I still have the issue.

It seems like scout works a lot better, but gmaps navigation always "stops" when using it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Not sure then I only clean flash and haven't had any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dustwun77:
I have had that work before too. I'd get a lock on a Sense rom, then use Titanium to back up my GPS Test app, flash over to the AOSP and restore it there and sometimes it would work.

Then I Nand it while it is working, flash another rom, decide to restore the 'working' gps nand, and it doesn't work again. I can't figure it out. :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sackboy11:
Hey all.

This is a rather odd question, I've encountered this problem a few times after the 4.1.1 update.

My music sometimes randomly pauses when I pressed home or switched to another app for the Play Music app. For example, if a friend sent me a text and I opened the text app, it pauses.

More often it pauses when I press the home key, I don't know what can be the cause of the problem, I don't have the time or the resources to reflash. :(

Anyone can offer solutions? Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysj:
I'm back after passing on my P7510 to my dad and switching to a TF300. Long story short, my dad shut down the tablet at night and tried powering it up in the morning. Got stuck on the initial Samsung screen with the padlock (it is unlocked).

Tried wiping and reflashing the firmware he was using which was the official ICS build but rooted and deodexed. Got the black screen with lines dealy after the initial Samsung logo and from there, bootlooped. Then I tried flashing another firmware that happened to be on there that he was previously using before the ICS update was released, UEKMP (again just stock, deodexed, and rooted). Same thing happened again with the lines before the boot animation. Samsung boot sound played at least before it just looped the animation. Tried odin with stock 3.2 firmware, which flashes fine, but also ran into the same issue (with lines and all before Samsung bootanimation).

Typically, i probably would have been able to fix similar issue by now by either rebooting (by holding power button and it will magically boot up as it would normally) or wiping and reflashing, but I am stumped on this one. Is it time for RMA? Looks like that's what some people seem to be resorting to after usual fixes don't work. I feel like the lines on the attempt to boot up may be a sign of something? I remember it being a kernel issue, which would be weird considering it was using the stock kernel when it was on Honeycomb or ICS. I've given up tonight as I have work early in the morning, but at least I was able to access nvflash and get cwm 4.x.x.x on there. Luckily it had a power down option so I'm just gonna let it sleep through the night :D. Any idears are very appreciated!

TL;DR

Bootlooping with black screen and lines even after flashing firmware or stock 3.2 P7510 Odin tar

Can access recovery and download mode fine, including nvflash
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tysj:
For anyone that cares or is in the same boat,

Resorted to going back to stock recovery and wiping the device (this also wipes /sdcard/ of course) and it's working fine again. Now I've got to get everything back on there for my dad.............. :eek:
