Really don't want to sound like a whiner . . . and God knows I don't need another case. . . but really???? Your winning joke/story was not funny. At all.

I mean c'mon . . . there were several truly funny jokes told here, and you pick that? I mean no offense to the winner, but as an aficionado of fine jokes, I am going to list a few chestnuts I remember from my bartending days.

For example (and this one was better when he was alive):

Saddam Hussein was sitting in his office wondering who to invade next when his telephone rang. "Hallo! Mr. Hussein," a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down in County Cavan, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"

"Well, Paddy," Saddam replied, "This is indeed important news! Tell me, how big is your army?"

"At this moment in time," said Paddy after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, my cousin Sean, my next door neighbor Gerry, and the entire dominoes team from the pub -- that makes 8!"

Saddam sighed. "I must tell you Paddy that I have 1 million men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"Begorra!", said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back!"

Sure enough, the next day Paddy rang back. "Right Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Saddam asked.

"Well, we have 2 combine harvesters, a bulldozer and Murphy's tractor from the farm."

Once more Saddam sighed. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 16 thousand tanks, 14 thousand armored personnel carriers, and my army has increased to 1 and a half million since we last spoke."

"Really?!" said Paddy "I'll have to ring you back!"

Sure enough, Paddy rang again the next day. "Right Mr. Hussein, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Ted's ultra-light with a couple of rifles in the cockpit and the bridge team has joined us as well!"

Saddam was silent for a minute, then sighed. "I must tell you Paddy that I have 10 thousand bombers, 20 thousand MiG 19 attack planes, my military complex is surrounded by laser-guided surface-to-air missile sites, and since we last spoke, my army has increased to 2 million."

"Faith and begorra!", said Paddy, "I'll have to ring you back."

Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Right, Mr. Hussein, I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war."

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Well," said Paddy "We've all had a chat, and there's no way we can feed 2 million prisoners."

Not to sound insensitive, but this is my case and is based on what I think is funny. I paid for the case and I can do what I want with it. Your sense of humor differs from mine and I found the person I picked to have posted the funniest post. Whether you agree with it or not doesn't matter a whole lot. At the end of the day I can give it to who I want. Hell, I could light it on fire or use it to play catch with.

The short version is don't be butt hurt.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barflybzzz:
or this one . . . to stay with the Irish theme:

An Irish man shows up in a pub one day and orders three pints of Guinness. He takes sips from each glass until they are empty and calls the bartender for three more. The bartender says, "Wouldn't you rather I brought them one at a time? Then they'll be fresh and cold."

'"Nah," the man says, "I'm preferrin' that ye bring 'em three at a time. You see, me and me two brothers would meet at a pub and drink and have good times. Now one is back home in Ireland, the other in Australia and I'm here in America. We agreed before we split up that we'd always drink to each other's health this way."

"Well," says the bartender, "since you're drinking to your brothers, I'll do as you ask."

Well, time goes on and the irishman's habit of ordering three pints of Guinness has become known and accepted by all the pub regulars. One day though, he comes in and orders only two pints. A hush falls over the pub. Naturally, everyone figures something happened to one of the brothers. A group of the regulars corner the bartender and finally persuade him to find out what happened. With a heavy heart, the bartender brings the two pints and says, "Here's your pints... and let me offer my sincerest condolences. What happened?"

The Irish man looks extremely puzzled for a moment, and then responds.

'Oh, no! 'Tis nothing like that. You see, I've quit drinking."

One more . . .

Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor said, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks in order to cleanse yourselves spiritually."

The couples agreed and came back at the end of two weeks. The pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?"

The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor."

"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.

The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?"

The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes, I'm happy to say we made it."

"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.

The pastor then went to the newlywed couple, who were looking quite downcast, and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?"

"No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young man replied sadly.

"What happened?" inquired the pastor.

"Well, the first few nights, we were fine. But one day, my wife was reaching for a can of paint on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and I took her right then and there."

"You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor, shaking his head in disappointment.

"We know," said the young man, "We're not welcome at Home Depot anymore either."

So... troll on guy. I'm happy the op chose me and the case looks great. I was going to do the same for my white case, but you just changed my mind and robbed it fit others. Guess I'll just give it away locally.

Hi

I am new here and i still dont know where to write. I am going to root my motorola pro plus (MB632) using motofail by Dan Rosenberg. Let me ask some questions:

Is this root tool applicable and secure for motorola pro plus with 235 android retail?

is this solution changing any original file?

Tkanks in advance

i am constantly looking for an original firmware to apply it in case of fail. My firmware is 5.5.1Q-110-L28_ELWUS-TA-1 no carrier, retail

Is this downloadable? The best way is to obtain zip to install from sdcard, or rsd?

Thanks in advance

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
I am wondering if there are any performance/battery differences between Stock ROM, Rasbeanjelly, AOPK, CM. I know that they have different features but which one has the best performance/battery results?

I think AOPK & CM have the bigger userbase and more developers so it "should" be the better choice when comparing to Stock / Rasbeanjelly ?

Are there any actuall tests/comparisons ?`

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
There is no right answer to this. It all falls on to you to decide. Each rom will work differently on each device. There are none that are better or worse.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robontop:
I know this has been discussed plenty of times but I just have some more questions of my own I'd like to ask.

So my N4 just switches off over night after being charged to like 95-100%.

It is usually fully charged (green LED) but won't turn on if I want to wake the screen.

I have to hold the power button for like 5 seconds for it to switch off. Then I am able to boot it again.

If i just unplug the charger, wait like 30s to a minute, the screen will wake, it works as usual. But the phone restarted (!!!) without any boot animation or anything. Just like nothing happened. If I then go into settings -> battery you can see the phone switched on just a minute ago.

This is happening like everynight for me now, so I had to use my old phone as an alarm clock as I slept in quite a few times actually :D

I searched like all forums and tried everything but I cannot dissolve this issue.

I even turned off deep sleep in dev options and stuff alike, monitored temperatures and stuff. Nothing conclusive though.

So I just have no idea why this keeps happening.

It happened with different roms and different kernels. Root or not rooted.

A friend of mine has a N4 as well and he does not have this problem at all. He does not have a custom rom flashed or anything.

But I read on other forums that even users with stock rom had this problems.

I think this is a quite common problem with the Nexus 4 device, isn't it?

Anyone solved it yet? Or does at least know the CAUSE for this?

I mean srsly there is like nothing on the forums..

Is it software related? Hardware related? Did I **** something up? :D

Is this a valid reason to send my phone back to google and get a new (working) one?

Everything else just works flawlessly. I mean the N4 with PA on it works so smooth like a charm.

I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE IT BACK! ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robontop:
noone? really?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I don't remember this being a common problem, though maybe I missed something.

If I was you I would wipe everything and re-flash stock. Then if it still happens return the phone, it shouldn't be doing that and I wouldn't put up with that if it was my phone. But it's your choice.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sincro:
I have the same problem and I believe that this and similar issues are becoming increasingly mentioned on various sites on the net. XDA tread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2077148 which gives some idea as to what people are doing to get to the bottom of the problem.

There is further info here - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35139 which starts with Sleep of Death issues on JB4.1.1 (on the Galaxy Nexus but has more recently focused on the Nexus 4).

Initially the problem occurred maybe 3 times a week. I'm running a Stock N4 and whether stock or custom does not seem to make any difference.

I re-flashed a stock image and thought I had solved the problem. The phone ran okay for a few weeks and then reverted to random SOD's normally at night whilst charging. If I use airplane mode at night I have no problems. It has also become unresponsive/deep sleep on three occasions during the day. More recently I have stopped leaving wifi enabled unless I need it I no longer use airplane mode and have not had any further problems --- so far ---

For me at least, the problem might be wifi related.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcraft83:
This happened to me this morning. I have my phone on charge every night and it probably hits 100% about 3am every morning. I have the alarm set at 7am to wake me, and has done every morning since I got it last month. However I have now slept in twice (this morning was catastrophic) due to waking up to find my phone was switched off and my alarm subsequently didnt sound!! I have wifi left on, but all my apps are closed down, and only the alarm app running.

To switch it back on I have to hold the down the power button for in between 5-10 seconds for it to reboot.

Does anyone know why this is happening? The Nexus 4 is perfect in every other way, I'm gutted to find a fault after raving so much about it!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aelian:
Same thing is happening to me every night !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tronno1:
I have the same problem, but it happens sporadically, so I never know when I'm going to end up sleeping in. It's infuriating.

It just happened again this morning. I had Wi-Fi disabled, so I know it has nothing to do with that.

Charging cable

I have had this problem eventually with every android phone I've ever owned but it seems by replacing the charging cable with a new one the problem goes away. It seems that there is a weird thing with android where if the cable doesn't sit completely snug or straight the battery can charge but the phone won't realize this and go to sleep. Also seen the opposite happen where the phone thinks that the battery is charging and in fact it hasn't. When you unplug it suddenly goes from full charge to nothing. Haven't seen that last one on my Nexus 4 yet though. So I would try replacing the cable (not necessarily the charger) usually worked for me on other phones. Also I would suggest not to leave the phone and cable hanging off the end of a table. Make sure it's in enough that it sits flat. I think this is how I slightly bent mine.

...so here it goes....

...after performing hard reset and upload of latest ROM from club i-mate, and then full restore via active-stink, my phone call 'history' has many calls duplicated now and this is wreaking havoc with my 'monthly minute tracking' software....

...The items that ARE duplicated are ALL duplicated 3 times....

...SO, does anyone here know where this info is stored and if it can be, ummm, edited? All I want to do is purge the duplicate entries....

...Thank You!!!!!

[HTC One S] MrDuvet:
Hey folks,

I am thinking of improving security of my HOS and thought of encrypting it. I do know of the encryption feature provided by android but this seems to only encrypt the "internal" storage, namely the /data partition. I'd like to encrypt the sdcard as well but did not find a solution yet.

I had a few ideas on how to achieve this of which one was to use Cryptonite for encryption. This app uses EncFS to encrypt directorys on the fly by mounting the encrypted dir into another dir. I thought it could be used to encrypt the whole sdcard, mount this encrypted content to another dir and tell android to uses this new dir (the encrypted fs mount point) as sdcard (maybe with a symlink). I think I know much about android and linux but at this point I am stuck.

Does anybody have an idea about solving my problem?

Thanks

By chance, anyone some insights about available colors? Black & white from the start or white one first again? Also, about payment options and from where they are shipping - guessing de,uk,fr or it.
[Oppo Find 5] BoneXDA:
White with 16GB for €399, black with 32GB for €429, free shipping inside the EU I believe which is a very good price.
[Oppo Find 5] S.D.Richards:
Yep, saw that already and ordered 2 black ones :)

It's a shame, though, that there are so few colors for the cases available.
[Oppo Find 5] tom369:
This device doesn't support UMTS 900 MHz which is a must-have here in Europe. All current phones sold here support it. Oppo is apparently not 100% prepared to launch this device in Europe. It's not as simple as take a phone that's sold in Asia and just sell it here, other manufacturers have variants for a reason or just make multi-band devices.
[Oppo Find 5] remilian:
not sure where you got your information, but the oppo does support the 900mhz band
[Oppo Find 5] tom369:
This is official info from their page:

http://europe.oppostyle.com/home/8-find-5-white.html (Specifications tab).

It supports 900 MHz only on very slow 2G (edge speed). And in Europe many carriers use 900 MHz for UMTS/3G so all phones support it.

2. Does the phone ship factory sealed?

It should be delivered with dhl or gls. That´s what i know.
[Oppo Find 5] S.D.Richards:
Update:

:victory:

I just received mine (32g/midnight) a few minutes ago.

Everything is delivered as ordered (device, EU charger, matte screen protector), no visible damage at all on the packaging. Device is currently charging, but from the short glimpse I got from the display lighting up shortly through the protective screen, it's a real beauty. Packaging is really awesome and I'm only a little put off by the plug, USB cable and headphones being white and the EU charger being not as nice as the also delivered standard plug.

Perfect timing for me that it came today, SO is on an appointment until late in the night, time to play.

As a reference for others who might be interested:

Ordered: 30th of May (said backorder)

Shipping confirmation: 4th of June @ 17:15 (local time, eu/berlin)

Delivered: 7th of June @ 9:40 via german delivery company GLS

Delivered to: near Frankfurt/Main, from the package and label it looks at if it's been shipped nationaly via Airmail, so for any other region in Germany ordering the same day as me it should arrive today or tomorrow.

Will play with it extensively over the weekend and write up a review somewhere, for now I'm a happy boy, though I must get back to work :rolleyes:

[Oppo Find 5] S.D.Richards:
As I wrote above, everything came delivered as ordered and I ordered a screen protector since it isn't included. On a related note, I ordered the matte one and I really like the feel of it, feels like silk paper to me and I didn't recognize any loss in responsiveness.
