[Off-topic] I r o n M a n:
Last year , I went for a holiday to Maldives and stayed at a resort called paradise island. I was pretty excited as the resort was situated on its own personal island! The beaches were awesome.

So I went for snorkelling in the morning at around 9. The reefs were awesome. Multi-coloured fish everywhere. Swimming all around me. But I saw this one fish. It was bright lime green in colour and completely stuck out from the others. I was very curious and wanted to get a closer look. I tried to follow it. But it was a clever little bugger. It lead me on a merry chase. I kept following it for a long time (though it didn't seem like it). The sea kept getting deeper till I couldn't see the bottom at all. I took little notice. I kept following... Soon, I lost the fish completely. I was kinda upset. Then it occurred to me that it must be late and I should probably return. I looked back and the sight was pretty scary. The 7 mile wide island looked the size of a thumbpin! Unknowingly, the sea currents had carried me very far. I was very scared as I was already exhausted and it looked like a long long swim back.

I started swimming. About halfway, I started getting the cramps. It felt like my calves and thighs were burning. Exhausted, I kept going.

Finally, I staggered onto the beach and into my room. I looked at the clock. It was 1. I had been away for 4 hours; though it seemed like a lot more.

I was completely drained, so I went to sleep.

I wrote up next morning at 7...sleeping for 18 straight hours.

I still consider it to be quite an experience. :)

Sorry for such a long story.

@Kabir: Great Story! And that is why I hate the ocean. If you're not careful, something could easily happen.. I've been on 4 cruises and every time we hit the point of no land in sight, I'd instantly think of something crazy that could happen. :rolleyes: I feel safer to fly than I do to be in the ocean.

Also, when I was in Hollywood, FL on tour, I went into the ocean and wasn't paying attention how far out I was drifting. When I realised it, I looked for my band mates ashore, and they were way down there almost out of sight. Luckily I can swim good and made it back to shore, but I had to walk a good distance to get back to where they was. That made me hate it even worse. :rolleyes:

I agree.

The ocean may look breathtakingly beautiful, but it can be treacherous if one is not careful.

I enjoy the adrenalin rush though. :)

It mustv'e been a scary sight when you saw how far away you'd drifted.

[Off-topic] Thats OK:
:laugh:

No jail time right?

Me been all over the place...If I can reserve this spot I'll try and pick a story :fingers-crossed:

K:

Around early 1996...

On my first trip to the Mideast as civilian working for the US DOD.

Four of us were to fly to Philadelphia, then catch a commute bus to Dover Delaware to fly out on orders directly to Kuwait.

All was fine right up to the stairs on our mission aircraft.

The aircrew usually started the engines on the opposite side of the plane while loading passengers.

All we heard was a bang clackity clack noise after the start...soooo we looked at each other turned around with the bags.

Walked back to the terminal without a word...that's how it goes with veteran military flight passage...never a guarantee without rank.

Sat in the travel office for 4 hours or so while another C5 was scratched up.

Scheduling found a working aircraft and started getting everyone on.

Except this time it was all the other travelers from other delays etc.

The 70 troop seats above the cargo bay were of course full...initially it was just supposed to be 10 and cargo.

We got in the air and one of the other guys talking to a nice looking loader gal who brought the meals up.

Asked about time in the air to the first stop in the Azores.

She said no we weren't stopping there...the plane was headed for Ramstein Germany!

What lol...I thought it was weird that all these other civilians some with kids were headed to a recent battle area.

Nothing could be done then so I just dozed off against the load door (nice and cool there.)

We got on the ground in Germany grabbed me flight sacks had to climb back up to the troop door because the load ramp stuck.

Ran across the tarmac and made it without getting run down by the incoming aircraft.

We sat around Germany for five days drinking and trying get a flight away from there.

Everything of course was tied up because of the Bosnian situation.

Also no flights for us out to Riyadh either because of no theater clearance on our passports or orders we were outcasts.

Someone said "Gee I wonder if we can get a commercial ticket and get outta here" so off to TMO at Rhein Main in Frankfurt we went.

Spent the nite in Frankfurt I got ripped off by a cab driver 2 of my co-worker buds got cleaned by two hookers...what a nite.

Next day we made arrangements for Kuwait Airways to get us there...another 3 day wait.

Continued the drinking...but staying away from Frankfurt...we cruised the countryside gobbling pomme frites and schnitzel!

We mostly hung around Scwanheim because it is a very friendly place made friends there quite easily...good folks!

...long story shortened a bit.

Got to Kuwait at midnight...were held up by the Kuwaiti national guard for a few hours.

They couldn't figure out why we were there when our liaison was right outside waiting.

Finally they called the office of the principality we were released with an apology and roomed at the only hotel left standing.

The Holiday Inn!...man that place was cookin' too 125F outside at 10:00 a.m.

Rest of the story
[Off-topic] Axis_Drummer:
Got a story for it?

I was stopped at the border of Canada for trying to carry some smoke with me while touring with my old band.. They had to cancel the remainder of the tour because of me..:rolleyes: and my band mates hounded me for years after that.

I also was in the grey bar motel for 6 months because of that sht.. :o it was a stupid thing to do. I should've just bought it there instead of trying to bring it with me :rolleyes:

Also at the time I was 19 and stupid :o

Hi.What about sweep 2 wake is there any way i can put it in this best kernel?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
we are still waiting for his new project so i assume he will include also sweep2wake

be patience mate:cool:
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Sometimes you can turn on sweep 2 wake by using root explorer. You would go to etc, then go to init.d, then look in those files for the file that contains sweep 2 wake. open this file in text editor of root explorer. You will see it's turned off and that means it's value will be 0. It will say sweep2wake =0, in text editor change this value to 1. Sweep2wake =1. Make sure your permissions are correct. Save this change after you changed the value. And this should turn on sweep 2 wake for you.. I've done this myself and it works! Just make sure sweep 2 wake=0 is not backed up, if it is, delete the backup file. You want it to read sweep 2 wake = 1. That should turn on your sweep2wake for you. Hope this helps. Best wishes! :)

[HTC Desire X] ayyu3m:
I just tested both methods once again. Check if your SD card is properly inserted/working.
[HTC Desire X] nightcrow:
Maybe you don't have a micro sd card inserted and your camera settings are set to 'save pictures to sd'?
[HTC Desire X] fulmix:
Thanks to all.. camera saved all photos in phone memory and I changed to sd and now work both methods!

Solved!!

[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
It's quite different, camera shots are saved to DCIM folder while screenshots are saved to Pictures folder. Try to create pictures folder on sd and see if it works.

And check in settings/storage/app storage location settings what is set for camera.
[HTC Desire X] nightcrow:
Nope screenshots on my DX are being saved to DCIM folder, not in Pictures folder. Maybe because I chose sd for storing pictures after I took the first picture. Anyway it works for TS-er.
[HTC Desire X] nlooooo:
It's the same what I did but it made a folder Screenshots inside Pictures folder not in DCIM. Anyway, it works, and that's the only thing it matters. :D

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
You're screwed then as holding the power button down for ten seconds is the only way to force shut it down.

It's slightly different than my N7 where you hold that power button to reboot, this one just shuts it down and I have to release and press again to start it back up.

According to your experience, is there any noticeable difference in general phone performance (not talking about photo and video) between Class 4 and Class 10 micro SD cards?

the transfer difference, i believe so... especially on a device with a single core like this. I would always go for class 10 personally, soooo much faster.
[HTC Desire C] neoyoli:
Do you mean it visibly increases the speed of the operations or just the transfer speed when connected to the computer?

From class6 to class10 - no noticeable difference in performance. I don't believe with class4 will be different.

[General Questions and Answers] Grayda:
I've been using NFC tags for a while now. I've got a few dotted around the place to do various things such as starting playlists and such, but I wonder -- when you make a tag read-only, what is really stopping you from overwriting it?

From what I can understand, there's some kind of "fuse" inside a tag (let's forget about the various types of tags for now and just imagine this is a 'catch all' type of tag) that gets burned out when the read-only bit is set. When you go to write the tag again, the fuse is blown so nothing can get through onto the tag. Your phone sees that somehow and lets you know that perhaps it's RO. Am I right in guessing this? How does the fuse "know" to burn out?

When purchasing my tags, I was informed that some of them couldn't truly be locked -- they didn't have locking written into the specification, so it was more of a "soft" lock. In cases like this, what is stopping you from overwriting a soft-locked tag?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dannyyang524:
I flashed the leak JB VRBLK3 which turned out to be the official OTA update. Ever since that, I always get an "Android is upgrading" sign when I boot up phone. Is this happening with the OFFICIAL OTA update?

Also, does anyone always get the "You will no longer be able to use applications such as Internet, Email, and Youtube via mobile networks" warning when you turn off mobile data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
If its a truly untouched leak ROM, then not sure why you would be getting the upgrading message. On some custom ROMs you get that with a script possibly doing something. So, not sure in your case.

As far as the mobile data warning, well it is just telling you the obvious. If you turn of your data you're not going to be able to access anything that uses data. Unless you use WiFi of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KjK89:
Delete cache and dalvik cache. And if that doesn't work, clear data. Sounds like theres' something left behind from a previous flash. Remember to never restore data to system apps unless you want a wonky device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dannyyang524:
Ah sorry. I meant to say if there's a way to turn it off.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] endingcolt007:
Hey Guys. I really need some help selecting a case for my nexus 4. I have already purchased an XOSkins Edge to Edge Full Body Protector for my nexus 4. So i have the front and back covered. However i recently purchased S-Line type tpu case for my device and the case caused the screen protector to bubble and peel at the edges. So i immediately removed the case and the screen protector stuck back on by pressing it down. Since then i have decided not to use the tpu case with the screen protector. However since the phone has a glass back i do not want to leave it without a case. I need help on deciding on which case would work best with my setup. I have already spend $30 on the XOSkins protector so i do not want to get rid of it. Instead i want to know which case would work best with my existing setup? If anyone is using a edge to edge screen protector with a case please help me out.

Thanks in Advance. All help is appreciated. Cheers
[Nexus 7 General] JellyBeanToby:
So I bought a 32GB Nexus 7 like a week ago, and sold my 16GB one to a good friend because I found there wasn't enough space on it for my obsessive film habits, lol.

Anyways this problem didn't seem to manifest itself until I upgraded to 4.2.1. Now, the battery sometimes actually drains instead of charging, and this happens while doing anything but keeping the screen locked and doing something else (not easy!). Is there any way of fixing this besides unlocking my bootloader and losing all of my films and apps, then flashing a ROM? Thanks in advance, guys.
