Isn't this where people were saying to change the name of something so that CWR will stick?

See the section on Flashed custom recovery won't "stick"? in scary alien's post.

EDIT: Ryu strikes again!

So I was browsing my usual forums when I came across the article about Google, Facebook and Twitter among others blacking out for a certain period of time to show what the internet would be like if SOPA passed. Well as I was scrolling around the page, I look to the side and the #2 "most popular" tech article was this...I was INFURIATED

Spoiler

But hey, at least they gave credit where credit was due...

Actually, Apple applied for the face unlock patent in June 2010, well before Google, but they hadn't decided to implement it until now.

Hey everyone. I have a pretty old laptop that I was considering to give Linux a try. Any suggestions on a version for a Linux noob and also a place to learn about it on the web?

Also, looking to build a nas and thought maybe unraid. Same sort of questions. What do you think and any good resources?

Hey, did that RSS stuff I sent help you out at all?

So I think I've waited as long as I can on a stock ROM. It's time to ROM! It seems the popular ones are Codename and AOKP? Who is running what? I read a little about both and really like the option on AOKP to disable data while screen is off and change sync intervals. That is perfect for me while I'm at work. I could get by without Juice Defender with those 2 options.

lol yes it is i like it here

Trust me, it doesn't even touch the amount of anger in the forums when the Bionic came out. Once the Razr was announced, I think they probably had to ban quite a few folks

 

[blkbeltkid17]

they were banning people in the nexus pre release thread

Oh yeah, that place got scarier than The Shining quite often. But the nice guys finished it out great!

Indeed! I almost got the boot. Han too, lol.

 

[blkbeltkid17]

i remember ALOT of that hostility towards the end was all directed at MEEE

That's cause
you're both sarcastic hot-heads.

You were just a whipping boy. Your timing and execution needed work. But it all turned out OK.

True, it appears Han and I are kindred spirits.

Have you read through this thread? I was having the exact same problem early on. I replaced the phone and when that didn't work, I had my Nexus boxed up and ready to exchange for a Rezound.

Instead, based on that thread, I tried swapping out my SIM card and it seems to have fixed my problems -- enough that I plan to keep the Nexus past the Friday return deadline. Per the thread, the SIM swap is hit or miss for others so I have no way of knowing what the end all solution is, but I figure that should it recur in the future, that has got to be something that falls under the 1-year warranty.

I do NOT think custom ROMs will address this issue.

Thanks, i have read that thread and many others. I did one switch of the SIM card with no luck. However, I live in a small town and they have very little stock and all SIMS are the same and from the same batch. I am thinking about calling verizon and seeing if they will send me one as it would likely be from a different batch than the ones here. The reason I thought there might be something that could be applied is the other forums mentioned other phones that have had this problem and were fixed by a software patch.

Ohh whipping boy that's sounds dirty I am in hahaha

AOKP is great. lots of the mods out there have been baked right in. i'm running imoseyon's leankernel and doin real good.

i've got the latest build of AOKP and i think the powersaver functionality is still in testing. from what i've been seeing it's been making progress, but when i just tried to enable it i received the warning of impending death if i wanted to proceed without first having a nandroid to restore if problems occur. i've got plenty to go back to, but i think i'll spare myself the hassle.

i agree, it'll be of much use to me at work.

Yeah it did. Still need to find sites to put on, but it did help. Thanks!

I am about to flash aokp with my sudo kernel I tweaked for 4.0.3 and see how it runs wish me luck

Good morning everyone. Busy, busy day at work today, but found this article while eating breakfast and thought it was awesome to see. No more 3G phones on Verizon's network (except PTT) -- only 4G LTE phones from now on. I wonder how this is going to affect the iPhone.

Verizon Makes 4G LTE a “Hard” Requirement for All Future Smartphones – Droid Life

It don't effects us it will be 5g buy the time most if not all of our contracts are up

we can only hope....besides, by the time this contract/phone is done, maybe VZW will have a new Google Phone....then again maybe not.

What is UOT Kitchen?

UOT Kitchen is where one can cook up goodies (mods) and customize your phones UI. It's fun!

I used Tasker a little bit on my OG Droid. It's definitely worth the price, so powerful. However, unless you're a pretty good computer geek, it can have a steep learning curve. There have been long threads in the Android Lounge about it. IIRC, user UncleJimbo was a huge help for folks trying to set up certain profiles.
The one I set up that I liked a bunch was when I walked by Whole Foods on my way home (I went almost nightly), it was set up to text my wife if she needed anything at the store. Pretty neat.

I've heard of the steep learning curve definitely not for everyone, I am geek though I'll consider tasker and price is no concern. Might PM you at some point about it okay

morming everyone how is all today ?

Morning sir blkbelt!

Speaking of sound - what do I need to be able to use Pandora or Sirius in the car? There is an aux port but I don't know what kind of cord.

Monoprice is my fave! $1.60

But its SCARY out there!!!!!

lol!

gl let us know how your kernel is after testing!

 

[breadnatty08]

Jbdan, one other alternative to Tasker is Locale. They're often compared and perhaps it's a little easier to use. Give em both a shot!
