Android Bluetooth connection lost

fJok3R — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:03:18 +0800

Hi,

First of all, let me tell that this is my first experience of coding and develop an Android application so please be patient with me. Basically, I'm attempting to build an application that can be connected to the PC via bluetooth to remote control the bluetooth. For starter, this application should be able to control the presentation slide.

I looked upon the web and found this website. it is extremely helpful and pretty much should be able to do what i'm trying to achieve. after a slight modification especially to the UUID value, I managed to connect the app in the phone but soon after the application is connected to the PC, it stopped working.

And I believe that Bluetooth is not available for the AVD, so any idea on how can I debug the application?

Updating download count in MySQL problem

fJok3R — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 10:08:49 +0800

I wrote a simple script that when a user click a download button, it will retrieve the $_GET['id'] via download.php?id=7 as example, extracting the filename and download count (dlcount) from the database, updating the dlcount +1, and then invoke the UPDATE command to update the dlcount of the specific id.

CODE

function get_file($download, $count, $sid)
{
//add to count before downloading!
$count +=1;

//update to the database
$query6 = "UPDATE series SET dlcount=".$count." WHERE id =".$sid;
$result6 = mysql_query($query6) or die("MySQL Error : ".mysql_error());

//preventing remote file inclusion :)
$file_location = "files/";
$real_file = $file_location.$download;

//sending time!
echo "OK<br />Downloading...";
//header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("X-Sendfile: $real_file");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=".$download);
}

I've verified the value of $count and $id by echoing it before i'm updating the database and they show the correct value. The problem happened when I do actually download the files. I'm using the XSendFile module for the apache. If i'm commented both the header lines, the correct value will be updated. Is it something to do with download accelerator connection opened or something?

I'm using PHP 5.3.2 on Apache 2.2.19 on my win7 64bit if it would be any helps. Thanks

[WTA] Free Images Resources

fJok3R — Thu, 26 May 2011 14:16:40 +0800

I'm searching everywhere in the forum and cant find what I need. Mods, if there is existing thread,
please point me to the correct one.

So here's the thing, in designing a website, sometimes we need to use some images. But I wonder,
for our client site, can we just google some image and put it into our design? What about the copyright and stuff?

I wonder where can I download stock images that can be used commercially on
my design for my client. i found some site like stock.xchng but the images doesnt really fit my need.

Anyone mind sharing? Thanks

PC Autoshutdown

unpacking my desktop after two month leave it in box at home.

at my new place, whenever i try to run any game or play HD video, the pc will be turned off
without any warning whatsoever

i dont really think it's power related. i installed speedfan to measure the temp as you can see
from the screenshot here

what is the temp3 btw? whenever i run game, the temp 3 will keep rising up to 100++

this thing keeps happening no matter whether im on windows 7 or fedora 14.
one of the hdd is failing but i dont think thats the case.

my motherboard is gigabyte g41m-es2l, if it would help.

[WTA] Window 7 64-bit

fJok3R — Tue, 18 May 2010 09:02:24 +0800

so here's the thing, im thinking of upgrading my system to win 7 64-bit.
After googling about 64-bit system and also read through some thread from LYN,
i decided to do it.

based on some reading, 32-bit software will work fine under 64-bit system. Only certain application
such as driver need to download for 64-bit version, right? correct me if im wrong.

But, i have a few questions. Even though 32-bit software will work in 64-bit system, should I
get a specific 64-bit installer for that software?

example, for adobe reader, is it any difference for installing adobe reader for 32bit and adobe reader 64bit?
do they have much difference?

if they do have difference performance, it all comes down to my 2nd question

i have been trying to search for 64bit version of software but then, let say for acdsee photo manager, when
i see the requirement pages, it only says win xp, win vista and win 7

they do not mention specifically win 7 32bit or win 7 64bit. so is there software that offer specifically 64-bit installer?

thx in advance

[WTA] Win 7 Explorer Not Responding

fJok3R — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:24:23 +0800

so here's the thing, last time i used vista, my explorer keep not responding whenever i try to drag files to be shared on googletalk.
So i figure out this might be due to some sort of problem with my os.
Thought that TeraCopy might be the culprit, i decided to uninstall it.
I then decided to change the operating system to win 7 32bit.
At first, it works splendidly. But then the problem starts to appear again
The explorer is sometimes not responding but then not as frequent as in my previous Vista.
Cant figure out what is wrong, the cpu resources is just fine, same goes to ram.
Anyone experiencing the same problem with me?
Kinda need some help here..thanks
