Galaxy S2 lcd broken, totally black screen. Would like to retrieve data through kies but as phone is swipe protected, kies won't unlock it. Any ideas?
I have damaged the screen on my phone, so much so, it will not allow me to get the data to transfer onto my laptop. On opening Samsung Kies, it is saying that the connected device is locked. Please enter password on the connected device. I can only assume its the pattern lock they are referring to as I have managed to unlock the sim.  As I am unable to do this due to the screen being cracked, I wondered whether there is any other way of doing this, before sending the same onto my insurance company, as they are saying that I will lose all the data! Cant see why seeing as its just the hardware that is damaged and not the software.
What is the preferred way to find focused control in WinForms app? So I am on Minecraft playing on my friends world (Not server). However, they won't go online for no reason. I want to go continue my work on that world and not start brand new on survival again. I've already made a lot of progress and would not like to lose it, can somebody help? I've already tried to get answers but they are either too complicated or for servers like IP. What is a contrast matrix? What exactly is contrast matrix (a term, pertaining to an analysis with categorical predictors) and how exactly is contrast matrix specified? I.e. what are columns, what are rows, what are the constraints on that matrix and what does number in column j and row i mean? I tried to look into the docs and web but it seems that everyone uses it yet there's no defition anywhere. I could backward-engineer the available pre-defined contrasts, but I think the definition should be available without that.  &gt; contr.treatment(4)   2 3 4 1 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 3 0 1 0 4 0 0 1 &gt; contr.sum(4)   [,1] [,2] [,3] 1    1    0    0 2    0    1    0 3    0    0    1 4   -1   -1   -1 &gt; contr.helmert(4)   [,1] [,2] [,3] 1   -1   -1   -1 2    1   -1   -1 3    0    2   -1 4    0    0    3 &gt; contr.SAS(4)   1 2 3 1 1 0 0 2 0 1 0 3 0 0 1 4 0 0 0 Scale camera to fit screen size unity My background and gameobjects are 2d sprites not UI images ,I want to know how to make my background scale with screen size and positions of 2d sprits on it don't change after building game (webGl) like scale canvas with screen size and anchor points in UI elements .  Before building the game   After building Proving $\, a^b = (a\bmod n)^b\, \pmod{\!n}\ $ [Congruence Power Rule] I am working on a problem I am pretty close to solving but I can't figure out the last part. I used some algebraic manipluation to break the problem down. The problem is:     Show that the following congruence is true      a^b = ((a mod n)^b) (mod n)      for any positive integers a, b, and n.      Hint: Number a can be written as a = q*n + r, where q = floor brackets a/n, and r = a mod n.   My attempt it:     (q*n +r)^b = ((a mod n)^b) * (mod n)      (q*n)^b + (a mod n)^b = ((a mod n) ^b) * (mod n)      (a)^b -(r)^b = ((a mod n) ^b) * (mod n)      (a)^b = modn  ----> divided by ((a mod n)^b)   Am I doing this correctly and if so how can I prove this is true? Is there a trick I am missing? I think that by simplifying it further I would just keep going in a loop.  Thanks! How do I hide posts matching my ignored tags?

What  I am trying is to find if there is a rising trend in a time series of profit margins of a company. I know there can be dips in some years but I want to find if mathematically that overall there is a rising trend as well as towards the recent years there is higher margins as compared to previous years.   Is there any way we can find it mathematically?

It's cheap, and comes with a private SSL cert. HOWEVER, their MySQL settings are such that any db connection goes stale fairly quickly, and then the hostgator staff try to convince you to use a VPS or dedicated server at multiple times the expense.  I'm creating and deploying WebAPIs, which can have a 'conversation' which exceeds 60 seconds. When this occurs, the db connection handle is stale, causing any db operations after my timeout to fail.  I'm in the process of implementing the following solution, but am curious if anyone else has solved this issue (where they can not modify their my.ini or my.cnf to give MySQL more resources) in a similar or completely different manner.  last part of a hook_update:  $ret = db_query( "UPDATE {my_table} set field1 = '%s', field2 = %d ...

Sure beats upgrading my server at 3x the expense. Anyone else doing something like this? As stated , being on fire means you are doing well, and  we see that you can be commended as an MVP for being on fire for a large portion of the time. This  shows that destroying non-player things gives you fire points, but what all do I get points from, and how many fire points do I need to be on fire/stay on fire? Make locking posts more granular This is a small exercise that I just can't seem to figure out. When I see it I'll probably go 'ahhh!', but so far I haven't made any progress.  I'd like to prove that any linear functional $\phi$ on $\ell^\infty$ that is positive, i.e. for any $(x_n) \in \ell^\infty$ such that $x_n \geq 0$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$ we have $\phi((x_n)) \geq 0$, is a bounded linear operator and has $\|\phi \| = \phi((1,1,...))$.  Nothing I have tried worked so far, so any hints would be appreciated, thanks!

All the samples I found have a form tag, but I want to validate some inputs that are not inside a form. Infinite metric space has open set $U$ which is infinite and its complement is infinite Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space where $X$ is an infinite set. Prove that the space has an open set $U$ such that both $U$ and its complement are infinite sets.   I have considered if $d$ is the discrete metric, then one such $U$ exists. But if $d$ is not discrete, how do we find such $U$? Proof: in $\mathbb{R}$, $((0,1),|\cdot|)$ is not compact. Let $(M,d)$ be a metric space, and $A\subset M$. By definition, $A$ is said to be compact if every open cover of $A$ contains a finite subcover.  What is wrong with saying that, in $\mathbb{R}$, if $I=(0,1)$, we can choose $G=\{(0,\frac{3}{4}), (\frac{1}{4}, 1)\}$, which satisfies $I \subset \bigcup_{U\in G} U$, but we can't extract a finite subcover, so $I$ is not compact. Is $G$ a finite subcover of $G$, so it is not a valid cover for proving this? I would take $\cup_{n\in\mathbb{N}} (\frac{1}{n},1)$ in order to prove this, can we conclude that every open cover is necessarily a infinite union of open sets $\neq \emptyset$? How can I use wget to get files recursively if the username contains an @? Firstly my main goal is to try and get FTP files recursively in Centos.  However the actual FTP login contains an @ which ruins the syntax.  Is there some way to place the username in "double quotes" or some such equivalent such that I can use @in the username?
