Well, I guess there was ONE plus side to the hard reset of my phone yesterday (was trying to fix some problems and it didn't work, read more about it here http://ur1.ca/5bsda) it's made my phone run lightning smooth, in a way it didn't even when setting it up for the very first time. Still kiwied that I can't play Mega Drive games or use any video application besides htc's though. -__- !androidbronies !techponies

@leonkfox Au contraire my friend. HTC hath provided: To access the "Pre-Boot Menu", turn the phone off, then when booting it back up, hold power and volume-down until you get the safe mode menu. You'll have 4 options. "Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock". Navigate down to "Clear Storage" with the volume key, and press power to confirm. You'll be asked to confirm again by pressing volume up for yes, and volume down for no. It will then do a complete reset, the same way HTC would if you sent it to them post-bricking.
-
@ceruleanspark Ah, I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. ^^ I will have to give that a try later tonight.

!androidbronies !techponies Well, I had an incredibly frustrating experience tonight. As I said in an earlier notice I decided to try and do a hard factory reset of my phone ,to see if it would fix two problems I was having. One was videos zooming in too far on anything other than the default htc video application (even if I tweeked with the app's settings) and the other was Mega Drive ROM's not loading in ANY emulator. I did a hard factory reset to see if it would fix all of these problems (backing up all of my applications apk files before I did) I reinstalled all of my apps and tested to see if either fault had fixed...neither had :/ Something in my phone is clearly buggered for this to happen, and I have NO IDEA what it could be. Could rooting be my only answer at this point? :(
-
It's looking like I may have to do a total restart of my phone again, not only are video files zooming in too far on any Android video player that isn't htc's, but now Mega Drive/Genesis ROM's won't open on the phone, on any emulator I try for said system. At first I thought it was a problem with Genesis A.D, but I just tried Gensoid and I had the same problem. Great, just bloody great...hope I can back up all of my applications and settings somehow. !androidbronies !techponies

My webcam (Playstation Eye) seems to have stopped working with my PC. :S Well ,this doesn't take the papayas at all. -_- !techponies

HTC Sensation XL, Rhyme, Amaze...3 new @htc phones in the space of the last month or so. Why do these guys release SO MANY HANDSETS? @_@ !techponies

I'm not a fan of Apple, at all, but it's hard to deny that Steve Jobs was an innovator, and a major player in Pixar's start up, RIP. !techponies

-
@leonkfox I'm not a fan of Apple either, but it sure is sad this happened. :(
-
@leonkfox I like Apple -- I use Macs at home -- but haven't thought much of Steve Jobs' tactics of late, and I know that he was a control freak and a nightmare to work with. But he was also a visionary, his impact on the world is undeniable, and I'd argue that he has left the world a better place, and I respect the heck out of him for it. May he rest in peace.

I'm hearing that Steve Jobs has died...is it another overblown rumour, or actually true this time? !techponies

@flutterkiwi213 So I is right? You troll?

@princezach121k trolls are lame

@flutterdole213 indeed my friend

During a stream I was doing earlier someone showed me a capture card "Easycap DC60" for a tenner the quality was AMAZING! Ordered one on the spot. ^^ !techponies

@leonkfox Dude, the people I've known who had one had nothing but problems.

So Apple announced the iPhone 4S at their keynote tonight? I was expecting it to be called the iPhone 5, but I doubt I'll buy either phone anyway. I was hoping Apple might have said something on the next generation iPod Touch, the one Apple product I would even CONSIDER buying. !techponies
-
@princezach121k Neither of those were mentioned, to my knowledge.
-
@ceruleanspark Fair enough. I have no such use for it though.

Damn! My handle has been co-opted!

Dissapointed, just as I'm starting to get interested in the "Amazon Kindle Fire" tablet, I discover it's for Americans only =/ !AndroidBronies !TechPonies
-
If I may ask, why is the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet getting so much hype? Are there not other 7" Android tablets on the market? !AndroidBronies !TechPonies
-
@leonkfox Yeah. I mean applications and having a manufacturer who actually cares about the device beyond just dumping it into stores. In 6 months time, Amazon won't be trying to sell you some other newer tablet. They'll be updating this one in the hope that you'll use it to buy more stuff from them, which is the same direction Apple approaches updates from, and notably, HTC, Motorola et al, are not,
-
@rotation I think 7" is the perfect size for a tablet (I've tried the BlackBerry Playbook and a few other 7 inch tablets) tablets like the iPad are much too big to type on comfortably wthout laying it down on a desk, at least for me personally.
-
@ceruleanspark I know Motorola and Samsung have made a wide array of tablets, but didn't htc only make the Flyer? How has it not been supported?

God damn it Firefox I am so sick of your papayas. You do NOT need to increment the full version number for every minor addon-breaking patch! !techponies
-
@dustyhooves No way, Firefox 3 is best.
-
@dustyhooves Netscape?
-
@dustyhooves firefox, with ad-blocker only.

Ah, counted my chickens before the eggs had hatched, and just as I posted that my phone was connected via celluar data. !techponies
-
Why is it that at night my wifi keeps cutting out and I end up on celluar data, but during the day it stays connected consistently? (At least my phone) !techponies
-
@leonkfox Well, have had quite a lot on, and have been overwhelmingly tired into the bargain. Feelin' considerably better today though! What you been up to?
-
@pawnheart Not a great deal to be honest, heh. Been kinda getting some "post meet up blues" as I had so much fun that day ,but watching the video usually helps, even if one clip is out of order, and said clip is the wrong way around.
-
@leonkfox Yeah... I know what you mean! Didn't realise how much adrenaline I'd built up before-hand, and I kinda sagged for a few days.

-
!utahbronies Totes read that as "Pioneer Park". Guess I'll leave the drug money at home. I'll be there, gentlemen. Be ready.

!utahbronies Sounds fun, I'll try and bring some spiderman cupcakes. That said, Liberty Park is a big place. Do we have any idea where we'll be meeting there?

!utahbronies Hey Everypony, sorry there hasn't been too much activity in our group lately. I wanted to let you know that there will be a meetup at Liberty Park on September 24th. It will be from 12:00 - 5:00 Pm. Hope to see you there. If you have any questions, let me know.

@quetzalcoatl Maybe later,I'm looking for a copy of the first season of FIM that won't eat up the last of my memory.
-
@ponyshock Sweet, I'll bring some spiderman cupcakes. That said, Liberty Park is a big place. Is there anywhere in the park specifically that this is happening?
-
@eliaphir NO! That's not true, I have been in many communities... and a certain community usually ends up joining in the community at it's peak. That certain community usually doesn't know how to keep their cherries separated and ends up, ruining the community I am apart of... well not so much ruining it as much as taking it over with their particular dumb murdock!!!

!techponies Still can't get Puredyne GNU/Linux to work for me. Tried switching USB drives, tried installing via virtual machine, tried burning DVDs, tried 32- and 64-bit architectures. No luck. Tried editing the GRUB configs, nothing. Tried threats, bribes, and casual indifference. Nothing. Between this and LXDE being buggy, I'm about to just use Ubuntu Studio - even though they dropped the real-time kernel.

Eugh, one of the clips for the vlog needs to be rotated, trying to figure out how to do this in AVS Video Editior now. !techponies !midlandsbronies

Tried getting keygens for several of them (I am not buying expensive ish software just to use it once0 hoping I'll get some luck eventually !techponies

@redenchilada I'll look into it if I get no luck with my latest keygen attempt ^^ Thanks.

Why must ever HD video converter have a paid for version and the free versions either put a watermark on the video or only convert a few minutes of it :/ !techponies
Saturday, 17-Sep-11 22:56:34 UTC from web -
Alright, help needed ASAP, what video editing software can take 3GPP files, or what is a good HD video converter? Need it for the vlog. !techponies
Saturday, 17-Sep-11 22:23:39 UTC from web-
@leonkfox I convert files with Prism Video File Converter. Assuming you just need an AVI, it'll work well.
-
@redenchilada AVI's should be just fine :)
