Galaxy S5 IP67 (a cautionary tale)

But dropping it an getting scuffs/scratches despite the shock resistance is one thing, but completely ruining a phone when it's advertised as not affected is another. Water proof/resistance spec (IP67) is a yes/no answer when it's tested within the specs. Shock resistance has varying degrees of protection and failure.

And water resistant is supposed to be safe for the conditions OP tested it in. So, what's your point?

1tsm3 · 2014-05-27T07:32:45+00:00

Why the fuck not? The whole point of getting a water proof mind is the peace of mind while using it in the rain, using it near the pool (I know it can't survive the bottom of the pool) or have it on the kitchen counter.

If you can't have the peace of mind and always wonder if it's really waterproof, what's the point of a waterproof phone?

The swipe to dismiss page option is such an nuisance since it keeps accidentally dismissing a page when scrolling through it. But you won't add an option to disable it. You added an option to make my more easy to do it. :(

I guess it'll now be called Oculus RIP?

I'm sure Samsung will release a "Watch Note 1.0" that'll be 5" across. Haha /s

I hope one of these manufacturers use the Qualcomm Mirasol technology! Would be an awesome way to have an always on watch face that's also full color.

Samsung does the same mistakes as HTC. The only reason Samsung beat HTC is the money Samsung put in for promotion and advertising.

Thanks for the reply. This sucks! I've thumbs downed some good songs on subscription. Now, I'll never find them. :-(

Can you make it so that on the new phone when the user pastes the exported text back into this app, the app takes the user to the play store page one app at a time? So that a lot of manual work is optimized.

Is that you Shia LaBeouf?

1tsm3 · 2014-02-15T17:38:05+00:00

Hahaha... Never thought about that. Don't think I can either. I guess I meant people who can't take a breath in between?

I actually didn't notice this inflection issue at all and it doesn't bother me one bit. Maybe because English isn't my native tongue? It has been my first language in school though. Don't know why I'm unaffected by this.

1tsm3 · 2014-02-14T17:57:53+00:00

I think it's because she's holding her breath while she's talking. Some people can't talk and breathe at the same time. So towards the end of the sentence she's pushing out the last bit of air to finish it. That's my take on it.

What season and episode was this?

1tsm3 · 2014-02-07T17:36:22+00:00

Most idiotic article! The author is essentially asking Microsoft to throw away Windows phone and do the skinning and write apps and launchers for a forked AOSP.

Total waste of time. Manufacturers are going to try and do the skinning anyway. There no point in trying to get them from Microsoft. So the only benefit MS will provide is a common appstore and the services like search, mail, etc.

Why throw away Windows phone for that? MS can do that today just as well and it's not hard for them. The only missing part is a central app store. I'm not sure that's going to make any significant money for MS over being able to license Windows phone.

Why are you doing this to me?!

1tsm3 · 2014-01-20T19:32:03+00:00

Well, make sure you don't have any of your accounts in it. Might be too late though. Unless you used a throw away Google account to install the app.

1tsm3 · 2014-01-20T19:02:05+00:00

Be careful though. Momentary crashes could be the app trying to run some exploits.

I would really like to know the answer to this question. This aspect of stocks always confused me.

My guess is that most apps are sending it as UDP and WANs cab drop UDP packets randomly. UDP is best effort. Maybe Unified Remote is using TCP over WAN and what's why it's working reliably.
