GPS Fix It

MT GPS EPO Fix
If you have a mobile device with a MT6577/MT6589(T)/MT6592 chipset, you probably noticed the GPS functionality is pretty bad. Most notably, it can be quite difficult to get a 'fix'. This can be resolved by saving recent EPO files, which are used for Assisted GPS. These EPO files can be downloaded manually (which takes some time), or you could just use MT GPS!
This application retrieves the latest EPO files and saves them to the right location. The files should be updated daily to make sure you can always get a GPS fix quickly. The usage is pretty straightforward, but here is a set of instructions:
- Make sure your phone is rooted
- Run MT GPS
- Download the EPO files
- Go to Location in Settings and enable everything
- Turn on your Wi-Fi
- Reboot
- Start the app requiring GPS!
This should be sufficient to get GPS working on most of the devices with a MT chipset. However, if it still is not working after following the steps above, try this:
- Update EPO files as stated above and make sure Wi-Fi is turned on
- Go to Location in Settings and enable everything
- Download MobileUncle from the store
- Run MobileUncle
- Choose 'Engineer Mode'
- Choose 'Engineer Mode (MTK)'
- Go to the tab 'Location', and choose 'YGPS'
- Go to the tab 'Information', and choose 'hot', then 'full', then 'AGPS RESTART'
- Start the app requiring GPS!
If it still is not working, chances are you have a mobile phone with a faulty GPS chip. Some phones have poor antennae, which means you can't fix the GPS issues with an application. This application has been tested on a variety of phones with various MT chipsets, but we can't test all the phones available on the market. Thank you for your understanding.

GPS Status
It shows GPS satellites positions and signal strengths on the hemispheric view.
Fake GPS location
Rooted users can run Fake GPS without setting "Allow mock location" option. To do that you should move "com.lexa.fakegps.apk" from "/data/app" to "/system/app" (use root explorer for that), set permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot your handset. On Android 4.4 you should move apk to "/system/priv-app" folder
1. You should DISABLE "Use wireless networks" options in Location settings of your phone to avoid an issue with keeping faked location even AFTER STOPPING THE APP.
2. Always run FakeGPS BEFORE running other apps to be faked otherwise they will use the default GPS sensor instead of FakeGPS's
If you find any issue - please feel fre to contact me

All other apps only displays their own lists but have no real integration!
If you want to test this app, install the free version:
Known bugs
• Reminder do not work correctly on Android 2.3
• Devices with Android 4.1 and all version of Samsung Galaxy S4 have a bug which causes Birthday Adapter to disable after reboots. Please install additionally:
• Total integration of birthdays, anniversaries, and other events from Android's contacts as a calendar

Standalone Calendar
Some people do not have the open source calendar from AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and are forced to use either the proprietary Google Calendar from Google Play or the shipped crippled calendar from e.g. Samsung.
This standalone calendar was build from the Android 4.3 source tree.
Source/Bugs: https://github.com/dschuermann/standalone-calendar
OpenKeychain API Example
Only interesting for developers!
Birthday Adapter JB Workaround
The bug causes accounts of paid apps to be removed when Android boots up. To work around this issue this app pretends to provide the same account type that Birthday Adapter provides. That's enough to convince Jelly Bean to keep the account.
That's all this app does.
Please note that the bug is in Android 4.1, not in Birthday Adapter!
If you're not using Birthday Adapter on Jelly Bean, you don't need this app. There is no need to give it a bad rating in that case! Please don't install it in that case.
Please note, even with this workaround some things may not work properly. Adding new accounts might be broken when you have booted with the workaround app installed.
Shortcuts new Event/Contact
Shortcuts new Event/Contact lets you create shortcuts on your home screen, which directly open the dialog for a new calendar event or a new contact.

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
minirose1December 18, 2011
Does anyone on here have any knowledge of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever? I've learned a lot about it since husband was diagnosed with it, but am curious about the recouperative process. It's a wonder that he survived, I guess, but he is so frail, weak and rundown that it has been very scary. He is on the right meds now to clear it up and does feel a bit better. I guess the best healer with something like this is time and proper rest.

Just a Wave Hello
You guys, I can't express how much all your support these past few days has meant to me. Last night I got about 3 hours of sleep, spent the rest of it just thinking and petting the cats. Tonight I'm staying in, and tomorrow a friend is taking me out to dinner. Then Sunday, weather permitting, I'm gonna spend some time out in the dirt.
Anyway, I just wanted to "poke my head up", say hi, say thanks, and let you I'm still here and doing. Yep, doing. Doing okay, actually. Not great, but okay. I'll probably peek in on you guys some over the next few days, and then I'll be back full force.
Everyone take care, have a good weekend, and I'll see you soon!
(((hugs to all!)))
(((hugs back atcha)))
Just had to share with you Dan, and the others here that I received your sasbe and got quite a chuckle out of it. I hope you do not mind me 'tellin one' on ya.
I received this rather fat bubblie (sp?) (that's what our mailman friend Dan calls 'em). Inside I find a funny cartoon, all the info I requested, and a nice note.
Also inside the bubblie, I find another bubblie with his postage and address label already attached. He sure took the term Self Addressed Bubblie Envelope to heart. I just had to laugh, considering just how confusing that term is, even to our mailman friend.
HAY Dan! Check out the thread on this board..."addressing newbie and newer member issues-first draft."
I thought it would be overkill to send it all to you in the email with my instructions. You made my day!
I have your MG together, and will get the rest finished up and out to you soon. I'll let you know once they are headed your way.
Have a great weekend too...hope you find out the specifics on planting parsnips...You might try doing a search at the link below, and/or asking about them if you don't find enough info. That board seems hoppin right now!
Here is a link that might be useful: Veggie Gardening Forum
Have a fun weekend and we'll be waiting when you come back :) Personally I'm a little under the weather, so I'm probably gonna either laze in the house or outside if it's warm enough. Cliff's taking me to the medieval faire on Sunday in Norman, so I've gotta be better by then!
Dan, You and I haven't traded yet but I wanted to say hello and to let you know that you live in a beautiful part of the world. My former in-laws have a house out on Old Mission on the sunset side of the pennisula. What a wonderful place! Hope everything's better for you and maybe we'll do a trade soon. Take care, Ann

Now we know why jobs are going to China
According to progressives, it's because of Mitch McConnell's wife. Or should I say it's because of racist progressives?
Seems Mrs is referring to a series of inapropriate and offensive tweets from a member of a Progressive Group in Kentucky. The organization immediately removed the tweets, issued an apology and the jerk that posted the disgusting comments is no longer with the organization.
Seems to me that the progressive group acted progressively.....
The rest of the,story........
"Progress Kentucky removed the offending comments from Twitter after Louisville public radio station WFPL-FM aired reports about them. And the group issued two apologies over the past week for what they described as "inappropriate tweets sent by our organization.""Those tweets did not reflect our values, and we are committed to making sure nothing like that happens again," executive director Shawn Reilly said in a statement posted on the group's website. "We also apologize to our many supporters, and all Kentuckians working for change in 2014, for those communications. Comments with references to race, ethnicity or sexual orientation have no place in any debate, and we are deeply embarrassed byÃÂ such a mistake"
No surprise now is it?
Nope. None. In fact, it is expected.
Thanks, chase for posting the story. Good for the them for the apology and taking responsibility. Taking responsibility for real. Not just talk as we see so often.
(edited to add quote I was referring to)

"Is this outrage? It didn't have the usual exclamation points so I didn't recognize it as such."
Here ya go:
âÂÂThis woman has the ear of @mcconnellpress " sheâÂÂs his #wife. May explain why your job moved to #China!"
"Hoot! McConnell has been rumored for years as a closeted gay whose cover has been a pliant Asian woman. Who would believe that?"
You never know, Marshall. All you can do is put it out there and see if it sticks.
FTA: "Last week, BuzzFeed reported that Progress Kentucky had also tweeted twice suggesting that McConnell was gay and linking to an old news release written by an activist who has made similar accusations against several other politicians.
âÂÂIs @mcconnellpress a gay-bashing gay senator?â asked one of the tweets, both of which have been deleted."
The group has been criticized by Democrats and Republicans, and has begun keeping tabs on tweets. Better late than never.

Hey, if just the fact that you are a republican makes you a racist, certainly tweets like this makes progressives doubly so right?

There were several witnesses.
Republicans called a black woman an animal.
Defending the indefensible again are we.
When I first heard about the incident I was absolutely sickened. I cannot believe that behaviour like that continues to exist. This may be harsh but for me this is one of those incidents where I tarnish the whole Republican Party with a broad brush stroke.
Not all conservatives are racist, but all racists are conservative. The Republican party is the conservative party.
Shouldn't be a surprise.
There's a reason why racists don't flock to the Dems.
dot dot dot
No surprise now is it?
Nope. None. In fact, it is expected.
Mrsk gets some kind of perverse pleasure in mining the internet and r/w media for spin to stir the pot with. If there was an award Mrsk would win the gold.
Another asinine op not posted to foster discussion, just simply as some sort of ridiculous gotcha.
If anyone is interested in playing 'gotcha' patty cake, a great source for "conservative" foibles and follies is rightwingwatch.org, at the link.
Currently featuring First Baptist Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress, who made headlines when Tim Tebow backed out of an upcoming appearance at his new $130 million megachurch campus.
But always, all kinds of good 'gotcha' stuff on assorted politicians and preachers, not to mention the tea party.
But don't forget, when you post, make sure to implicate ALL Republicans and Conservatives. Its much better that way.

it's becoming clear that mrskjun is actually a plant whose goal is to make conservatives look ignorant and dishonest. If anyone discovers who's behind it, please speak up; progressives do not endorse this tactic. I am surprised, though, that the genuine conservatives here aren't distancing themselves from her posts; they seem to be unwittingly acting as message force multipliers.

"But republicans enshrine their racist ideals in their election platform every 4 years. And try to put their racist ideals in every bill that goes before Congress."
Someone please help me out here....
MrsK says:
if just the fact that you are a republican makes you a racist...
Jodi challenges that by saying:
Who ever found and connected dots that indicate all Republicans are racists? I don't remember that ever happening. Evidence?
MrsK responds to that with her evidence, which says:
Not all conservatives are racist, but all racists are conservative.
So, MrsK proof that someone claimed all conservatives are racist is someone's statement that says "not all conservatives are racist".
LOLOL...wake up people becase of Obama care we have gone from 78 people to 49 people and started ordering more parts from China....I went through the employee parking lot and anyone with an Obama sticker I wrote it down...then I casually talked to everyone and I got thier perspective and then my brother and I layed off the Liberals.. to no fault of thier own we put another 8 people on part time to get thier hours below thirty so we didnt have to pay. Every one else has to work harder because they are afraid of losing thier jobs as our area has a unemployment rate of 13%.....there you go...and to top it off on thier final statments I had Liz include this same reason and gave Obamas website and told the people to email him as they went on Unemployment....The Business owner will always find a way to keep what they took a risk on and spent years to build...go ahead and be part of Barry Satorros ..eeerrr....Obamas socialist Borg
Oil_Robb appears to be a fake persona planted here to play the part of a semi-illiterate conservative no-nothing clown with a touch of the paranoid crazy. If someone on the Left is responsible, I condemn it. Progressives do not approve of this tactic that smears right-wingers.
But what is so strange is that I haven't seen a genuine conservative distance themselves from his positions, even when asked about thie opinion of him. Curious.
The good news is that anything posted to the internet is forever... and anyone looking to sue for wrongful dismissal has wonderful ammunition for a legal battle.
The problem with public message boards and forums is that they're open to shills and spammers, or anyone with an opinion and the ability to type. This doesn't always make for a pleasant or rational encounter.
With all the recent advances in computer science technology, where they have computers that can win at Jeopardy! and write poetry, its entirely possible that some kids at MIT in a programming 101 class came up with something that combs through all the right wing sites for cliches, bundles them into barely-coherent rants with random capitals, and posts them under initials.
"Do you really think it is legal to fire someone, lay them off because they have different political beliefs than yours?"
No way around the layoffs regardless of political beliefs. Penalties Democrats set for companies with more than 49 employees are forcing employers all over the country to lay people off. Over two dozen people had to go at Rob's company, plus now the company will be ordering more from China. Elections have consequences.
Folks who voted to keep Obama and Obamacare deserve to be first in line for fallout. Democrats made ALL the rules. I'm all for Democrats living with them whenever possible:
FTA: "For many, the ACA will mean "Congratulations! Your employer will be required to carry health insurance or face a penalty. Unfortunately, your employer is forced to lay you off because of the added penalties make your position cost prohibitive.""
Here is a link that might be useful: Obamacare Realities
Gee, Nik, glancing through your link, no where does it mention that now, these employees will have health insurance where they didn't before.
And all the benefits that means for both the company and, of course, the people who work there. All for only $40,000 in "fines".
They should start firing people within the next two months, time for notices to go out and all. The same time line for the 20% cuts in salaries.
Then, of course, a lot of the job losses are from contracts with the private sector that the assorted agencies won't sign.
Not yet Mrs........after all it just went into effect Friday.... but here is a glimmer of what will happen if this ridiculous approach to cost cutting isn't replaced with a well thought out and balanced approach
Here is a link that might be useful: just the tip of the iceberg
What I don't understand is why the GOP and anyone who follows that party line to the letter doesn't simply stand up and say it outright... what they really want is a total separation of the classes and anyone who they don't like because of various differences, all the nation's wealth and resources to accumulate in their hands, no concessions made for anything resembling what's fair or balanced, and a radical theocratic government that will legislate OTHER PEOPLE'S morality. That way, all the little people and minorities can be used as slaves and servants, or just done away with.
(Of course, this only applies to those who already have enough wealth and influence to take what they want... those common Republicans that helped them get there by parroting the party line need not apply.)
"That way, all the little people and minorities can be used as slaves and servants, or just done away with."
Awww...Jodi guessed my secret!!!
I'm a conservative, because I want my black grandchildren to be slaves!
I hadn't thought about having them "done away with" but now I'm worried. What if Jodi is on to something? Maybe conservatives really are demons...that would make me a demon, too!
Gotta go. My grandson is on his way here from preschool. He's expecting a purple popsicle, a seat in the big chair with the dog and me, and yet another round of stories from one of his Richard Scary books. Now that I've been "educated" about what conservatives REALLY think, I just hope I can keep my hideous personality under control.
What I wonder is how decent, tolerant people, like the ones on this forum, can, in good conscience, support Republicans. Nothing in the ideals and goals of the GOP, that might, even remotely, be considered good should be even considered because of the blatant racism and intolerance of the party towards anyone who isn't white and at least upper middle class. People like the current GOP leadership should be rejected out of hand.
What can someone possibly say to themselves that could justify supporting people who don't want you at their party? Or in their home, or at their table.
There are a number of posters' comments that I avoid reading from both (all) sides of the aisle because they've proven in the past that they are incapable of offering insight or new information.
It makes for a much quicker read...
I've just added another person to that list
I suspect Oil_Robb is a fake persona created to embarrass conservatives. The 3rd/4th-grade writing level is a tip-off.
It is puzzling that none of the real conservatives here have critiicized Oil_Robb's posts, though, given how clownish they are. I would think they would want to distance themselves from the rantings. But maybe not.
Thanks esh for the added info on oil robb.
Must be that either that his/her business is in the USA, or he/she is full of hot air or is union obsessed and wants to bust the unions.
Why else would he/she be talking about "my money paying for these union thugs" when referring to the sequestration in the USA?
I'm puzzled that no one has Googled Robb's bogus bumper sticker story....or used snopes.com
Here is a link that might be useful: Boogity, boogity....
jodik wrote,
I wonder how many screen shots have been taken as legal ammunition so far?
There's no point; Oil_Robb made up everything about his supposed business. All the stuff about Obamacare increasing his costs and his tax dollars being misspent is fabricated. He's Canadian. Probably a plant to embarrass conservatives. I wonder if he's paid?

Are you kidding? Did you watch the Republican Debates? If they did not distance themselves after those 17 episodes of a bad reality show there is no help for that party.

That pretty much tells the story of what they think is worthy to run the United States. They set that bar low. I felt sorry for them at times when I stopped laughing.
Careful, littleonefb. He'll report you to the moderators and your post (and probably this one) will be deleted and you'll get a warning from the mods. That's what happened to me on another thread when I opined that we had a troll among us. Huh? I've read a lot worse posted here that was never deleted.
littleone wrote: So oil robb, you are nothing more than a fake, with your posts that are full of lies.
I just don't understand this post so many comments got deleted in regards to this Oil poster sometimes as plain Oil_Robb or Oil_Robb3 a couple of other names on other threads at other times & now that you or I can no longer see ip addresses ..well it's hard to keep this place cleaned up
Sometimes they are Candian at other times they are voting in US elections. Ah well just rummaging around the past!

Audit Assistant InterviewInterview Details
The first stage was a 30 min phone interview - was very casual and relaxed. Had a nice conversation with an audit senior manager, who asked the typical "why accounting/audit /Deloitte?" questions initially. Had strong answers for those, which comprised most of the interview time. The interviewer then asked one behavioral question and following that, I was given the chance to ask questions.
The second stage included 2 30 min office interviews with a partner and a senior manager. Both interviews were very relaxed and comfortable. The interview with the partner was essentially a regular conversation - we talked about traveling around the world and he asked essentially zero behavioral questions. The interview with the senior manager was slightly more structured with a few questions geared towards understanding how you manage priorities, assignments and working with others on your team.
Overall, the interview process was very nice, efficient and welcoming.Interview Questions

Audit Assistant InterviewApplication Details
I applied through college or university. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Deloitte.Interview Details
I networked and applied online for the position, heard back within a week to schedule a first-round interview on campus. The first-round grilled me on my resume and had a behavioral section afterwards. I was asked about experience working in teams and how I deal with stress from what I remember.
I was invited to a second-round a few weeks later and interviewed with two partners and a senior manager. They were exceptionally friendly and the whole interview seemed like more of a social than an actual interview. I mostly just chatted about my experience, their careers, families, hobbies, etc. Be prepared to walk someone through your resume and answer a few behavioral questions but for the most part just be friendly and open to conversation. Don't be afraid to ask questions or chat about more personal matters like family and vacation.Interview Questions

First interview on the phone. They asked very basic questions, but behavioral questions were included. They even asked me 2~3 accounting questions. I did not expect those, so I did poorly.
Second interview took 1.5 hours. I met three people: one partner, one director and one manager. They asked questions based on your resume, but it was more like a chat or networking with your interviewer. The point is to let them like you and make them enjoy talking to you or listening to your words.
Was invited to the dinner with them. Some other employees in the office also attended. They were very much and joked around. It was a fun night, yet I was too tired to talk much.Interview Questions

The incredibly beautiful @MissCarlyLauren causes everyone to put in a couple extra minutes at the gym.

We've featured the beautiful @AlyssaGadson01 several times on our homepage, and with a booty like that I'm sure you can understand. However, it would appear this babe fell off our radar and we'd like to thank the ASSMAN for bringing her back in to our lives. It seems only fitting that an ass like that come back with a bang, so below we've included not only yoga pants pics, but a couple of her and a friend in their underwear! As well as maybe a couple of videos for your viewing pleasure. Click here to check out 7 more pics and 2 videos of this babe ››1 Comment
You can follow her on Instagram @AshleySky or on Twitter @TheAshleySky7 Comments
Submitted by GIYP fan Ray, he included a link to a twitter that hasn't been updated since 2013. So if you want more of this girl, you're either going to have to check out her slightly out of date Facebook page.
Or you can enjoy the 10 pics waiting for you below, your call. + 10 more
So our original plan was to have you pick your favorite booty, and then after seeing their faces we wanted to know if you still made the right choice – but it would appear that there are only 5 babes in the frontal pic which means one is missing. So instead, we want you to match the booty to the face. Check out the frontal pic below and let us know in the comments which ones you think line up and who you think is missing.

Here's a photo of Day 1, June 24.
It is solid rock varying from 6-12 inches below our grass all the way down. The bucket went "thunk" on the first scoop, so out came the hoe ram. My brother lives in Pflugerville and said that it took 5 hours to dig his pool, whereas ours may take 5 days (in west Round Rock). We could probably just skip the gunite and fill it with water after escavation. :-) From Pool Build
I live on the west side of Round Rock too. We needed a jack hammer to plant some rose bushes so the amount of rock doesn't surprise me - it actually scares me. Thanks for the price info. Gives me an idea of how far our money will go. Really like your plans. How long did it take your HOA to approve it? Are you in a MUD? Did that approval take long?
When the pool company (Ocean Quest) submitted the plans to the Hidden Glen HOA for approval, two committee members came over to look at the backyard to make sure that the project wouldn't create run off into neighboring yards. We had approval from them in about three days, so they were very quick about it. We're not in a MUD, and city inspectors are a one day turn around.
The hoe ram is really efficient in busting the limestone. He can bust and remove it faster than the trucking company can haul it off.
Here's a photo of progress after two days of excavation: From Pool Build
That's a great idea to use the rock in our weeping wall, but in an effort to match the stone on the house, we're going with moss rock rather than limestone.
Day 3 Photos From Pool Build From Pool Build
Day 4, January 28 - They took a break on Sunday and began again on Monday, day 4 of construction. Most of the excavation is complete.
Day 4 Photo
From Pool Build
Day 5, January 29 - A lot accomplished today. Excavation was completed. Forms completed. Steel begun. They are ahead of schedule (for now).
Day 5 Photo
From Pool Build
Holy Cow! You were not kidding when you said you could fill after excavation! Did you post the finished pool? Would love to see how it came out. We just got permits here in central MD and hope to start excavation next week. I hope we don't hit this much rock!

violet cousins...hybanthus
i've recently made a 3000km road trip to the NSW north coast where my children live. along the way i stopped in several places to look for violets in the bush. i found some colonies of viola betonicifolia and also of the viola family cousin, hybanthus stellarioides. it's a small shrub of the understory and has seed capsules very like a violet. the flower is violet-like also but has much reduced petals except the lower one. i read that it is a succesful pot plant which can be grown from cuttings. the plants i found were growing on a fire access track at a waste recycling area near port macquarie, hardly pristine bush, so i collected some cuttings to try.
Image link:
hi nathalie,
yes, i thought you might like this little discovery! i was thinking of the genetic study you needed material for. i dont think the flowers are scented but actually didnt check. most of the australian violets are not scented so it's not normal for me to check. i'm glad you have had success with hymenanthera, the tree violet. i remember collecting that seed on an alpine road trip some years back.

I worked at Eventbrite full-time (more than 3 years)
Some great coworkers. Free food. The office is in a great, central location in SF. Fun/social atmosphere. The product is amazing.
Cut throat atmosphere. Drink the koolaid and get your cheerleader outfit on, or you lose your job. The problem was, it was exhausting trying to stay excited about this company when so many people were clearly unhappy. Talking to the boss and asking to expand the scope of your job doesn't result in any change. Pay and benefits lower than average. Management was not looking out for employee's best interest.
Hire real managers who know how to treat their employees.

I worked at EventbritePros
Eventbrite was a great place to work- a wonderful group of people who were very friendly, very smart and worked well together. They took very good care of their employees- daily catered lunches, many activities, upper management that knew everyone by name.Cons
The only negative is that I felt that I was trapped in my role and didn't have an opportunity to branch out and try other things that interested me. This is OK for people who have achieved certainty in their careers but younger employees who are trying to figure out how they want to position themselves need more cross functional opportunities and career guidance.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Set up systems that recognize the career aspirations of your employees- establish a culture where employees feel like they have the ability to try various functions within the company.Recommends
