Sony Xperia S user manual

With cost saving strategies employed by phone manufacturers, we no longer have user manuals. I have found a Sony Xperia S user manual. It can be downloaded here. It is almost 8MB and 140 pages.

Download

I am in the transition of moving host from Asuswebstorage. Apparently there is a limit on daily download, if you have issues with any download, send me a message and I will move it over to another host.

Programming remote key for Toyota Corolla

These programming sequence work for 10th generation Corolla (ZRE152) and I also believe it works for 9th generation Corolla as well.

If you allow more than 10 seconds to lapse in between actions, you will need to restart from step 1.

  1. Close and lock all door except the driver door. Driver door needs to remain opened and unlocked.
  2. Insert new key in and out of the ignition twice without turning it.
  3. Close driver door, open driver door, close driver door and open driver door.
  4. Insert new key in and out of the ignition once without turning it.
  5. Close driver door, open driver door, close driver door and open driver door.
  6. Insert new key into the ignition and leave it inserted. Do not turn the new key or remove the new key.
  7. Close driver door.
  8. Turn the new key that's in the ignition on and off twice then remove the new key from ignition. (If all procedures have been completed correctly all doors will lock and unlock twice to let you know that the system has entered the add mode).
  9. Press both lock and unlock button on your new key and keep both button depressed for 1 second.
  10. Within about 3 seconds, press the lock button on your new remote for 1 second and release. (Your car should emit two short beeps to acknowledge new key has been successfully added)
  11. Open and close the door will turn off programming mode.
This will work for upto 4 keys. Upon programming 5th key the first key gets bumped off etc.

Have fun!

AVO

We most commonly refer to violence orders as AVO (Apprehended Violence Orders), however, there has always been a distinction; APVO and ADVO. APVO is Apprehended Personal Violence Order. ADVO is Apprehended Domestic Violence Order. The difference is ADVO usually arises from a domestic situation whereas APVO is fairly general, you can apply to the Court directly for an APVO without involving the police. You need to understand that either APVO and ADVO are both civil matters, it does not become a criminal matter until you breach the orders imposed by the violence orders. To challenge a violence order is costly and most of the time unnecessary, having a violence order against you does not imply you are of bad character; only when you breach the violence orders. The legal system know there are many people that use violence orders as leverage in their case or carrying out a personal vendetta, however So, if you find yourself in front of a Magistrate, depending on the situation it is quicker, easier and less stressful to explain your situation (orders may affect your visitation etc) then accept the order.
