Samsung C6112 Review

Recently I bought this phone and I'm deeply unsatisfied with it for numerous reasons and As a summery, almost every everything about this phone is stupid, and I mean actually "stupid".


[Camera]
  • Recorded movie quality is terrible.
  • Camera is SO INSENSITIVE to light. So it's almost always dark even in night mode.
  • Night mode only exists while taking pictures, not video.

[Media Player]
  • Whatever I do, I can't play mp4 movies but the ones the phone recorded. I tried converting my movies to mp4 with many different audio\video rates. Only one configuration worked and it wrecked the movie quality.
  • Camera has no flash
  • When forwarding\rewinding using the music player for quite some time, a) The phone could be locked if the slide is up. b) The phone display light goes off of it's short in duration. Note that in both cases you are holding down the right\left key !
  • Long audio\video clips are a curse if you wish to jump to a specific time if the clip is too long. Because the fast-forwarding\rewinding feature isn't smart enough to increase the acceleration rate. Meaning that If I hold the left\right button down, first it moves by one second, then 2..and the rate increases till it reaches a specific rate and then the rate increase stops so you keep shifting with a steady rate of 20 seconds for example. I hope I was clear here I know it's confusing.

[Applications]
  • All the games that came with the phone were terrible and a demo !!
  • Radio never runs without the headphones. Even if it's set as an alarm to run some radio station, you will have to spend the night sleeping with the earphones in your ears in order to hear the radio station when the alarm goes !!!!!
  • The pc software to manage the phone is so stupid. Most of the changes you do on the software is NOT reflected on the phone including but not limited to music libraries and phone entries groups management.

[Phone book]
  • When I restored my backed-up phone entries, the groups where reset. I still had the groups but they were empty. So I'll have to deal with identical names which I'm not sure who I know from work or from college !


[Other]
  • The phone is locked when you close the sliding part. Ok may sound logical but I can't disable it. And then I use the phone while the slide is up, it locks after a while, fine but I can't even control the functionality timing !
  • In offline mode, the phone can only vibrate so for example you won't hear any alarms.
  • It's very slow during navigation (i.e. not very responsive)
  • To remove the memory card you have to remove the battery.
  • The earphones has no clip to hold into my clothes so they VERY EASILY drop from my ears if I look around or something.

I can't remember anything else but in the end, I'll NEVER..EVER buy a samsung in my life.

Hosting Apache Tapestry5.1 on GAE (Google App Engine)

Assalam Alikom In this post, I'll try to explain the steps I took to host Tapestry5.1 on google app engine. First of all here is my application . A very good place to start is here . This page will help you know what will, won't or will partially work on Google app engine. Now straight to tapestry5.1 stuff .. 1)AppModule.java public class AppModule { public static void contributeApplicationDefaults(MappedConfiguration config)   {   config.add(SymbolConstants.PRODUCTION_MODE, "false"); // This mainly affects how exceptions are reported, I'm   not sure - and I don't think - its vital to host tapestry   on GAE.   config.add("tapestry.thread-pool-enabled", "false"); //Now this is a must !, GAE restriction.   config.add(SymbolConstants.APPLICATION_VERSION, "0.1"); // This is to override the random number generated by tapestry in assets paths  } } 2)There as a compatibility issue between tapestry5 and GAE, that's wh

Apache Tapestry PageActivationContext tutorial

The idea behind this annotation is nice and very simple. It's all about telling tapestry how to hypothetically convert a string to an object of your choice. This string is actually a key used to look up a desired object. Now to do that you need to provide tapestry with your value encoder implementation then go ahead and use the @PageActivationContext annotation. First create a value encoder service : package com.skycomm.cth.services.encoders; import org.apache.tapestry5.ValueEncoder; import org.apache.tapestry5.services.ValueEncoderFactory; import com.jarmy.beans.UserInfo; import com.jarmy.services.dao.UserDAO; public class UserInfoEncoder implements ValueEncoder , ValueEncoderFactory {     private final UserDAO userDao;     public UserInfoEncoder(UserDAO userDao) {         this.userDao = userDao;     }     @Override     public ValueEncoder create(Class paramClass) {         return this;     }     @Override     public String toClient(UserInfo paramV) {         return par

Testing SOAP services using pingdom

This post  gives half the answer I needed to test SOAP services . The other half of the answer was to override the default Content-Type HTTP header added by pingdom  (Check the 11th point in the Optional Parameters section). To override the header, just add one with a blank space. This worked for me and may be for you too. Also another thing I had to do while testing web services developed using Apache Axis (I don't know which version), is that I had to specify a SOAPAction header with the value ""  (The value is 2 double quotes, not an empty value) Generally, you need successfully send a POST request to the service and find out what HEADER you are missing (i.e. to add it) or adding (i.e. to remove it). You can use SOAP UI to do that. But SOAP UI doesn't show sent HEADER by default, so you'll need to download TCPMon (Which records and displays communications), start it, and let it proxy connections on a specific port, then configure SOAP UI to use that po
