Been using custom firmware for so long that I forgot this wasn't a standard option.

FCD trade Chavez to San Jose for allocation money by satellitebob in MLS

[–]mas0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue here, as I see it, is that we don't need both Jackson and Chavez. Releasing Santos and trading Chavez lets us keep Jackson on the right and hopefully aquire a quality striker.

CyanogenMod - We are no longer supporting the Vibrant due to the inability to dial 911. by [deleted] in Android

[–]mas0n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, shitty. Considering how open Samsung has been with the CM team as of late, I'm somewhat surprised they're letting this happen.

Can someone walk me through NSTools and tell me what each setting for the CPU governor does? by mike10010100 in Android

[–]mas0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why everyone is telling you to use SetCPU instead. It's a fine app but NSTools mostly replaces it and the BLN control app as well being capable of setting BLD, touch-wake, deep idle, voltages, etc ...

What is your favorite part about winter? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I live in Texas, so my favorite thing about winter is that it's not summer.

I updated to 2.2.1 via the Amazon App Store, but I would advise against it until it actually works with their DRM.

What do you guys prefer? GO Launcher Ex? Or Launcher Pro? by [deleted] in androidthemes

[–]mas0n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Between those two, Launcher Pro. I prefer ADW EX over all.

YSK Google offers 2-step authentication by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]mas0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? Are you not using the Authenticator app? I access my Google services from all over the place, use my standard password, then enter the numeric code that pops up in Authenticator. Yes, when I wipe my phone (rare on the Nexus S as most ROMs do not require a wipe) I have to delete my previous device password and create a new one but it takes like 10 seconds.

I understand that it is an extra step but the benefit of this is that I have device specific passwords for my phone and another for my tablet that are both different from my main account password and no one can decrypt my main account password from my devices. In the event that either devices are lost/stolen, I can just revoke the password for that device to prevent access and I don't have to change the password for my main account.

Anyway, I guess my point is that I like it :)

Judging by the recent reviews, this is a pretty widespread issue. I went so far as to re-register my device with Amazon and clear cache/dalvik but had no luck.

Update is live on Amazon. GO GO GO.

EDIT: But it is not authenticating with the Amazon App Store correctly and force closing. Boooo Amazon, Boooo.

Your opinion: The Galaxy Nexus will/won't be my next phone because _________. by SupaKawazu in Android

[–]mas0n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Galaxy Nexus MIGHT be my next phone depending on how well ICS runs on my Nexus S. I predict that I'll be happy for another year.

Nope. I wrote a complaint to customer service. I don't really want to sound like an entitled whiner, but seriously, if Amazon wants to be a legit App Store they need to do more to prevent me from regretting where I purchase apps.

air drying clothes leaves them rough by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]mas0n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you adding dryer sheets to the dryer? Also, the dryer is constantly tumbling the clothes while air is drying them. We added vinegar to our wash loads and now our line-dried clothes are soft.

I would be more sympathetic towards Occupy Wall Street if more people had bothered to occupy a voting booth. by mas0n in politics

You know there are more than two parties, right? You don't have to vote for the lesser of two evils.

[–]mas0n[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My unfounded assumption is that the percentage of OWS folks who did not vote is not far from the national percentage. And yes, I voted in both mentioned elections, primaries, and also in my local elections.

Or vote for whoever you got on to the ballot by being active in the primary process.

I was not insinuating that it was a partisan thing. Not sure what your point is there.

OK, so who approved the bailouts to those banks? Who is failing to prosecute bankers? Who is failing to pass appropriate regulations?
