Does anyone have an reliable intel on when Swype is getting a general release?

Ingenium13

Sometimes. It definitely works better when holding it in one hand and using my index finger on the other hand to swype, which is how I normally use it. However, if I'm just typing a quick reply or I only have one hand free, using it one-handed works fine, it's just slower and takes some getting used to. If you have bigger hands it would probably be easier. What makes it difficult is that I have to stretch to get my thumb to reach the opposite side of the screen.

Either way, it's still significantly better than the stock keyboard, because I at least can use it one handed.

Thanks, that worked. The color scheme is a different...much darker. Is this a version from one of the Galaxy S phones?

Ingenium13

It doesn't work on an Evo. I have 1.56 now, and I tried upgrading it to this version and it gave me

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_INCONSISTENT_CERTIFICATES]

Ingenium13

I just type 'mount' and look for the last thing that was mounted. Usually it's also mounted on /media/somename

Where does the salt go? Does it just precipitate on the roof? Wouldn't this eventually block the light from getting through?

It will probably feel the worst when you're not moving around (ie sitting, laying in bed trying to sleep, etc). Keep moving and keep active and it really helps...sitting still will probably make you feel restless and anxious.

What CPU do you have? I use Handbrake on my Ubuntu laptop (Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz) and can rip movies to xvid in about 20 minutes. x.264 takes a bit longer, maybe up to an hour, but no where near 30 hours.

Ingenium13

Thanks. It found I needed the coretemp module, and it wasn't loaded. I loaded it now so we'll see what happens.

Ingenium13

I have the frequency scaling applet, one for each core, so I can see the speed. To see that it's throttled down, I run cpufreq-info and normally it reports a bunch of stuff, one line of which is:

current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 2.80 GHz.
              The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
              within this range.

However, when temperature throttling kicks on, no matter what I set the CPU speed to be (ondemand, performance, forced to 2.8GHz), it changes to say:

current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz.

This only happens with reasonably heavy CPU usage for 15-30 seconds, such as watching a Flash video or watching an h264 encoded video. Even after the temperature goes down again (as reported by acpi -V), it still stays like this for a while before eventually unthrottling.

The weird thing is that it didn't used to do this. It only started sometime in the last couple weeks. I thought maybe it was due to a recent kernel update but I've tried every kernel installed and they all have it.

I tried applied the most recent BIOS update, but that didn't fix it.

Ingenium13

I sort of tried that. I set in the BIOS for it to be at the max clock speed while on AC and to only scale down on battery, but it didn't fix it and it still throttles down. I also tried a bios upgrade.

Ingenium13

Almost everything in my sensors.conf file is commented out, so I'll play around with that and see what I can figure out. Thanks!

Just found another cool tip. There's a hidden menu giving you lots of useful buttons. http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/07/02/tip-how-to-get-arrowcursor-keys-on-the-swype-keyboard/

Ingenium13

it doesn't seem to learn... I've been using it for several weeks now, correcting it each time, and it still keeps giving me "thee"...

Ingenium13

Congrats on getting the position!

It's interesting that your shop had such a bad experience with it. I'm a kratom vendor online (getkratom.com) and I was always curious why it's not really sold much in head shops, because it really does work and is pretty potent if it's good stuff and if it's taken correctly. The few head shops we've seen it in had no idea what it really was. I'm guessing the guy that ate it had too much and ended up getting sick.

Out of curiosity, do you remember who the distributor was and what type of kratom they sold? Was it powdered leaf or an extract? I think it comes down to people don't really know how to do it correctly, and/or do too much/too little.

PM me your shop's address and I'll send you a free sample and good instructions. Maybe you'll have a better experience.

Ingenium13

Anyone else always have the problem of Swype putting "thee" instead of "the", and "utah" instead of "yeah"? I wish there was a way to remove words from its dictionary that you didn't add.

Ingenium13

Good luck!! Out of curiosity, does your shop stock kratom?

The EVO uses micro HDMI. I ordered a mini HDMI to regular HDMI cable from monoprice when I first got my phone, and the mini HDMI connector is way too big for the EVO.

So this doesn't require you to put in an email and password to activate it? I tried giving my apk from the official beta to a friend, but he wasn't able to install it without a valid account. Would this apk work then?

Ingenium13

This is not correct. THC and chocolate are not mu opiate receptor agonists. Kratom is. Please see http://www.scribd.com/doc/34428725/7-hydroxymitragynine

Ingenium13

I can assure you that it is a neurological opiate. Alcohol, pot, and nicotine are not neurological opiates, as they do not bind to and activate mu-opiate receptors. Kratom does. It is a mu opiate receptor agonist. Please see this paper for more details: http://www.scribd.com/doc/34428725/7-hydroxymitragynine

There isn't a chart per say, but I know from experience that about 0.5 oz of Bali (or ~2 tablespoons) is equivalent to around 25-30mg of hydrocodone when made as a tea. It may be slightly stronger or weaker for different people though, as is the case with all drugs. The other strains of kratom are somewhat different, with some being a stronger opiate, and some being slightly weaker but more stimulating.

As for extracts, about 2-2.5 grams of UEI is equivalent to a half ounce of Bali, though the effects are slightly different.

EDIT: Doing an equivalent amount of ground leaf kratom will probably make you sick... You might be able to get away with an extract though. I'm not entirely sure about the equivalence for 15x, but kevin143 can probably answer that for you. We're going to soon stock a 50x extract (waiting on the shipment from our supplier) that is closer in strength to UEI.

Ingenium13

You in theory can smoke it, but the effects are extremely short lived. It's best to make it as a tea and filter out the powder by letting it settle to the bottom and pouring it through a coffee filter, or using a french press.

The extracts can be put into pills or mixed into something like apple sauce. I agree with you, the green powder itself is pretty unappealing...
