Juice Defender Crashed My LG Optimus Launcher

The LG Optimus V doesn't have very good battery life. I was already doing what I could to try and prolong the life of the battery. I had finally came to the conclusion that it was time to let an app conserve my battery power.

I had read around online and found Juice Defender. I downloaded the ultimate version of it and it was working perfectly. I was already noticing slightly more battery life before I had to recharge it. Last night I turned the phone off as I always. This morning I turned on the phone and the home screen launcher would continuoisly crash rendering the phone useless.

To fix this I turned on my phone, went to the android market on my laptop, and downloaded and installed launcher pro. This allowed me to use a different home screen launcher on my phone. Once usinging Launcher pro I wanted my old launcher back that I had gotten use to. To get it back I un-installed Juice Defender and everything started to work normally again!

Let's hope that my phone continues to work and that Juice Defender will fix this problem on the LG Optimus V.

Avast Causing Network Problems? Slow network transfers with large files.

I just reconfigured my data server because it was begging to become cluttered with old software. I also thought that it would fix my slow network transfer speeds. I am running a 100Mbps network so I shouldn't have to wait days to copy over a few gigabytes.

So after re-installing Windows on the server I installed all of the necesary software that the server usually runs, Orb, VMware Server, Zumocast, UltraVNC, etc. I also installed Avast.

I now wanted to copy some movies over to a shared network folder. I went to copy about 20GB worth of media. I was able to get about half way through the transfer and it just froze and hung there. I was very aggravated because I just wanted to copy some files over, nothing complicated.

I then realized that Avast has a network monitor, I was wondering if that caused my problem. I decided to uninstall Avast from the server and next thing you know it I didn't have any more problems with my network. Even though I still ran Avast on the client computer. My best guess was that the old server did not have the processor or RAM power that was necessary to scan large amount of network traffic. I now have AVG running on the server instead of Avast and it so far appears to be operating just as normal.

BOOTMGR Error! - Solution! + Partitioning Errors In Windows 7

So today I thought that I would re-size the partitions on the main hard drive that's in my current Windows 7 build. Now just for some background information, I have my hard drive in two partitions. One for system files and another for all of my personal files. I do this in case of an OS crash and the need to re-install the operating system. I don't have to go through and find all of my files. They are all in once place and I only need to wipe one partition. Anyway... trying not to get off topic... I wanted to remove some of the space from the operating system partition and relocate it to my personal files partition.

So I decided to use the built in disk manager, that was my first mistake, to shrink the OS volume. I was able to do that. The hard part was extending the secondary partition using the freed up space. To my surprise this could not be done. So that made me angry.

I ended up downloading GParted and using that. Before using GParted I had to reboot my computer to finalize the crap I did with the Windows partitioning software.When I rebooted I received an error about my BOOTMGR. To be honest I have no clue what that is other then a boot manager.

To fix this problem I just used my Windows 7 installation disk and started the recovery mode on the disk. This automatically fixed that problem! :)

So after all that I was finally able to use GParted to get my hard drive partitions to the correct sizes that I was seeking out for.
