• Wed, 12:29: Wait, I have this update. It's old. @VZWSupport the update you linked does not address the security vulnerability. GET ON IT.
• Wed, 12:34: @VZWSupport Are you pushing this NFC vulnerability update from Samsung? I don't see it yet. PLEASE DO! http://t.co/20McULJt
• Wed, 12:48: .@VXWSupport = useless. Asked about NFC vulnerability discovered last week - get directed to update that was announced 2 weeks ago.
• Wed, 13:00: Fixed "NFC tagging issue.. to ensure texts are accurate" doesn't mean it fixes the vulnerability. I just want a yes/no. @VZWSupport
• Wed, 13:14: I just ran a test on my phone for the exploit and the dialer showed, but didn't display my IMEI. So probably okay from the exploit?
• Wed, 13:27: Ah crap. Totally forgot I had to go to a gathering this Saturday. *facepalm*

samsung s3; apps

Last night I had to reset my phone to factory because for some reason I couldn't get it to vibrate during alarm. I tried a lot of apps like AlarmClock plus, and the stock ICS clock - nothing worked. Factory reset didn't work either. My alarm still doesn't vibrate and it's really weird because my brother's will but my mom's won't either. Whatever I give up there's really no point in trying to fix it if it's not going to work.

 

The funny thing is when I was looking at the problem, I saw a lot of people with the opposite problem. They didn't want the alarm to vibrate in any setting and they wanted the phone to not have a silent alarm - both are things I can't get to work. Meh.

 

Google Play is also having a sale this week. Selected apps will be $0.25 and they'll change the selection daily. I just picked up Office Suite Pro. It'll be good for writing on the go, more so than Jota, which I want a fan of.

 

I also registered for GISHWHES again this year. I've got a few friends as well as their friends so it should be fun. On the down side, we aren't going to have many international members but we have both coasts covered.

 

I wrote must of this entry with the Swype beta voice to text function which seems to work pretty well. It gets about 90% of it right but I probably won't use it much because it's weird to be talking to your phone and having it write down what you say. It's the future, people!

 

In other news, I can't get the LiveJournal after work properly. It seems to crash when I try to load my user pictures in the post options. Which is annoying, because the only way I can fix it is to reset all the app data. Then I have to login again and rewrite whatever entry I was working on, which is exactly what just happened.
