Galaxy S? Hmm, Samsung overlay their own skin on top of stock Jellybean. You should be able to turn off those settings, though. Power cycle it, switch off, pull the batterry and sim, give it five minutes and fire it up again.


My phone gets kitkat next week according to the manufacturer site.

I have trouble getting the case off and you want me to do all that?!?

Thank you, Sean, for all your help. Next time I have my phone nearby, I'll try that and see if it fixes the problem.

A from the good little witch.

My phone can kick your phones butt.

Every phone I've ever had has been better than anything Microsoft has ever put out.

Or will ever.

Pffft, Quad core 1.5GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 5" 1080p Gorilla Glass screen, 16GB phone ROM and I have a 32GB sd card in it. And it looks nice.

 

[Sean]

LOL, I have no fucking idea what a breathing light is.

 

[yossi]

Seems important. Like it could save a life if only one knew how to operate it.

It's plenty powerful enough for me. My next phone has a Snapdragon, though. http://www.xiaomi.com/en/mi3

Okay, that one looks niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

 

[Sean]

Yeah, it's kickass. The first production run of 100,000 units sold out in 90 seconds.

My daughter bought herself an i-pad mini and a case.


For Christmas, I'd like to get her something, an accessory to go with it. Any ideas?

 

[lovetoread]

Get her a keyboard for it. They are small, but cute as a button.

 

[islandman]

And maybe a stun gun to ward off suitors.

How does that breathing light work, Sean?

No, it's the opposite of breathing heavy. Prevents obscene calls.

My girl is smart, gets it from her Dad's side. She is a 3.0+ college student and is putting herself through school. She is so focused on her studies, every semester she takes 5 classes. I couldn't do it. The girl is smart and has a good head on her shoulders.


and she loves me. I still get "I love you" texts from her. I don't think she dates either but I will remember about the stun gun thingy.

Hey now. It's my belief that tech support should come with a healthy dose of kick-in-the-ass. Encourages you to figure things out on your own. You're like a teeny, fragile bird being forcibly shoved out of your nest.

Mrs t used tech support from the cable company today and got the TV working properly.

There's encouraging initiative and there's being an arrogant fanboy who isn't helpful at all. I'd say there's a thin line but there isn't.
