[–]kai-ol 7 points8 points ago

Well, the first one is correct, it's just the second one that should have its apostrophe removed.

[–]Dazing 2 points3 points ago

As someone who speaks english as his second language, could you explain that to me?

[–]Kelvara 2 points3 points ago

Basically, pronouns when possessive don't use an apostrophe. For example: his, hers, its, whose, theirs. The apostrophe in "it's" comes from it being a contraction.

[–]Crs_s 5 points6 points ago

It's is the contraction of it is.

It is amusing when on it is own but heart wrenching after you learn the context.

This doesn't make sense.

It is amusing when on its own but heart wrenching after you learn the context.

This does.

[–]BeneathAnIronSky 3 points4 points ago

I think the confusion was that, in most cases, you'd add an apostrophe to the possessive S, eg, Dave's moon pimple, whereas you don't here.

[–]apullin 52 points53 points ago*

This happened to me, on my android phone, while I was in a CS class where we were talking about design problems in Android.

First, the display wouldn't respond to touch at all. It stopped responding for so long, that the screen turned back off again, with the alarm still going off. Pressing the button did not turn the screen on until the 6th attempt.

At this point, I held the phone up, and let everyone know that we had a live case study on our hands, and people started to watch. The screen finally turned on; when I tried to swipe the red button over, the UI locked up when I got the button over to the "turn off" position.

The alarm was still going off. The UI was totally locked, and after about 6 seconds, the phone did that double-vibrate thing it goes when it has to kill a zombie application. So, now, I was back at the home screen ... but the alarm was still going off. People were amazed and laughing at this point.

So, I went into the Alarm application, and the indicator showed that the alarm was turned off. I turned it back on, which entailed another 2 second wait before the icon lit up. Finally, pressing it again finally turned the alarm off. It only took ~40 seconds start to finish.

And, of course, a couple of seconds after I finally got it shut off, doubleTwist just decided to randomly resume playing the track I had been listening to before class. Fucking doubleTwist.

This was a factory Samsung Galaxy S that I had only been using for a few weeks.

tl;dr : Android has a UI latency of 1-45 seconds.

[–]erythro 1 point2 points ago

tear the battery out!

[–]Ikasatu 1 point2 points ago

Alarms ignore the silence settings.

At one point, my alarm would not shut off.

I quickly field stripped the case, the back, and the battery.

I then continued interviewing.

[–]DforDrew[S] 7 points8 points ago

Sometimes I upvote people just because they put a lot of thought (or so it appears) into their comments. I didn't read this, but i bet it was funny. Take an OP upvote, apparently they count as 10.

[–]apullin 6 points7 points ago

Ha, thanks! I'll add a tldr ...

[–]DforDrew[S] 8 points9 points ago

Your TL;DR made no sense the my technologically retarded brain so I decided to read it. Thank you for sharing your story and sorry for not originally reading it. I extend my hand in an apologetic hand shake.

[–]Sleepy_One 1 point2 points ago

The functions for alarms in the android can be so finicky can't they? I developed an app to alert me when specified servers no longer respond, and I had everything working just right (sound alerts, notifications), but for some reason the alarms liked to not clear perfectly all the time. Spent days troubleshooting it.

[–]apullin 2 points3 points ago

Developing apps to automatically troubleshoot and police other apps ... sigh ...

[–]bryntheskits 0 points1 point ago

Flash it with a custom ROM, same thing happens with my defy, and I found out its because of Motorola's social apps that really do not need to be there or running.

[–]apullin 1 point2 points ago

I've tried most of the "Custom ROM"s on the message board. After wading through pages and pages of direction of "plug it in, then unplug it, then point it towards magnetic north, then hold down all 7 buttons at the same time, and plug it back in", it gets pretty tiresome. For most of them, the wifi and cellular don't work.

I even paid for ClockworkMod ROM manager ... which didn't work. When I select, "Boot into ROM manager", it just reboots normally and dumps me back into the regular OS. I even emailed the author about it, and got no response.

Seriously, Android is a fucking disaster. I'd rather have my flip-phone back.

[–]HalfRations 0 points1 point ago

When you put your phone face down it put its in silent mode. I don't know if this works with an alarm but with any other noises it works fantastic. Someone calling, flip the phone and it shuts up.

[–]zaxiz 0 points1 point ago

You didn't think about pressing the volume key? It silences both incoming calls and snoozes alarms. Works on all android phones I've tried (10+) and my old sony ericsson OSE phones.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

It snoozes the alarm? I didn't know that at the time.

Although this phone very, very, very often has a bug where I'll press the volume, and nothing will happen until 2 or 3 seconds after I've stopped pressing it, trying to turn down my ringer or music or whatever, and only then does it apply all the volume updates all at once, in a fast succession. So if I'm volume up-ing, I need to be super careful; if I press the button and it doesn't work, I now know to not press it again until the phone "comes back", otherwise I'll hear "boopboopboopboop" and suddenly, whatever I'm listening to will be at max volume. Conversely, if I'm trying to turn down a loud phone call, and I don't step through the minefield of using the volume button, it'll just zero out the volume and effectively mute my speaker. This really should be the basis for a class action lawsuit.

[–]IndigoMoss 0 points1 point ago

The reason for your issues (and it's a huge problem) is that your Samsung Galaxy S was probably using TouchWiz, which is a horrible abomination that is only above the unholy abominations known as Sense and Motoblur.

Root that bitch and install some CM7 on it and UI delay will become a thing of the past.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

CM7 is a user-made ROM?

I'm trying to work through this right now but, somehow, in the past 6 months, things have gotten so bad that when I plug my phone into my PC, the internal SD card isn't accessible via regular windows, and I can't get Kies Mini to either install or uninstall, to try and sort out if it's a driver issue ... sigh ...

[–]IndigoMoss 0 points1 point ago

I'm guessing the reason your phone isn't letting the SD Card read in Windows is because it's stuck in Charge Only mode. Try to change it to a different mode and then switch it back to SD mode.

Then say "Fuck it all, nuke it from orbit" and install CM7. Remember to back up everything you want to save (contacts, text msgs, ect).

Alright here's the link that will give you step by step instructions: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide

I had a ton of issues with input delay and general sluggishness on my MyTouch 3g Slide. After some helpful direction from /r/android, I've since put CM7 on it and I absolutely love it. I think the biggest problem with Android is the manufacturer's version of Android they put on their phones, not only does it not create a unified experience across all Android devices, it's often times much more laggy and updates come out much later than they should have to.

So give that a try and follow the step by step instructions. As per /r/android, I am not responsible if you mess up your device (though you'd have to do something really stupid for that to occur).

ICS is trying to fix the problem of manufacturers ruining their phones with custom firmware, which has been so far so good.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

Doing this stuff really hurts my heart ....

The forum says to use SuperOneClick. Of course, the download link on shortfuse.org is broken. SuperOneClick says the phone is rooted, yet everything hangs when it tries to get root access from SuperUser.

So let's try z4root. It just hangs, and does nothing.

I feel like at this rate, I'd be better off digging ditches for $9 an hour, and just buying a new phone with that money, because time-wise, it'll work out better ...

[–]IndigoMoss 0 points1 point ago

Which version of the Galaxy S do you have? The Vibrant? The Captivate? I don't personally own a Galaxy S, but from everything I've read, they're pretty easy to root and install CM7 on. If the root guide I've posted in this reply doesn't work, try posting on the /r/android subreddit. If you're a CS major and you end up going into IT, these are the type of things you might have to deal with. I know how frustrating it can get.

http://www.pathikshah.com/blog/root-samsung-galaxy-s/ Follow this guide. If you're having trouble still, try a factory reset on the phone and try again (REMEMBER TO BACKUP ANYTHING IMPORTANT).

Also, as before, I'm not responsible for any damage done to the phone by following these guides.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

Boy, there's some real subtle details that matter between the Vibrant and the other variants of the almost-the-same hardware ....

/system on the Vibrant (from TMobile at least) comes packed with a bunch of crap, so much so that there is not enough free space to install busybox. That's fixed now.

And then the recovery manager/environment/whatever it is, is some old version, which needs to be changed over to actually get into ClockworkMod recovery ... phew ...

[–]IndigoMoss 0 points1 point ago

Good to hear you're figuring it out. The Galaxy S is a pretty damn solid phone once you unbind it from TMobile/Samsung's factory installed shit.

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

I want a Note, but Tmobile doesn't have it :(

[–]apullin 0 points1 point ago

Dude ... this shit is awesome.

The only thing I really want to try and get back is the "Smart Alarm" and soft tones that the previous version had... time to do some digging on the forums.

[–]IndigoMoss 0 points1 point ago

Glad you got it working man! It really makes you wonder why the hell these manufacturers and carriers ruin their phones. It's like they're trying to pisses people off while using their Android phones.

[–]apullin 3 points4 points ago

eh ... I really don't want to own an iPhone. I have a serious problem with Apple's "walled garden" model, and the fact that it took the EFF to fight a long legal battle to make it legal for you to jailbreak your own iPhone. Plus the weird smugness that seems to go along with it (see: Instagram). There's no happy medium ...

When I got a new phone to replace my shitty flip one, I intentionally kept the flip one and had my friend call me in the middle of a final. When the teacher irately approached me to confiscate it, I popped it out and snapped its spine. He didn't know what to do.

[–]BATMAN-cucumbers 16 points17 points ago

I'll take a wild guess and assume the phone continued ringing after you merely disconnected its display?

[–]shawabawa 5 points6 points ago

Actually it would have answered the call, so it would stop ringing.

[–]BATMAN-cucumbers 0 points1 point ago

Ah, true. 's been a while since I had the ole trusty flipper.

[–]smoti 0 points1 point ago

So you can put it back in your pocket and have the guy whisper answers to you. Oh wait, the speaker is above the display.

[–]tireurroyale 0 points1 point ago

It answered the call, and he told me to never pull a stunt like that again. Got lucky, because I didn't actually think about it still ringing either.

[–]BrowsOfSteel 0 points1 point ago

Sometimes the speaker is in the upper half.

[–]Shmexy 6 points7 points ago

Nope, zero on the final.

[–]mobshy 1 point2 points ago

First day of class this semester I decided to think ahead to the next day while waiting for the professor to start. So I set my alarm for 830, because my Thursday class was a lot later than the Wednesday class. Of course I did this at 825 am, so 5 minutes later my alarm goes off in my pocket.

Unlike everyone else apparently I smoothly found the power button through the outside of my jeans and shut it off before the second set of beeps. Didn't quite redeem myself for setting it in the first place though.

[–]RandomPixel 1 point2 points ago

[–]reynej 1 point2 points ago

Best instance of this ever. I was in the middle of a final for an investments class and my phone rang. My ringer was set to Alan from The Hangover 'It's not illegal, it's just frowned upon like masturbating on an airplane'. The timing was that that entire line played before I got my phone out of my pocket and pressed something to stop it. The whole class busted out laughing.

[–]Melnorme 0 points1 point ago

Motorolla razr v3 was a fucking asshole for this. If the alarm or a call sounded, you could silence it by touching one of the volume buttons on the side. Fine.

BUT if you touched the speaker button on the opposite side at the same time (such as by squeezing the phone through your pocket during the vibe part of vibe and ring), nothing would happen. The reason for this? The razr fucking hates you and wants to embarrass you in class.
