My foray into learning Unity UI, Part 1

Although I know my way around some things technical, when it came to learning how to use Unity (v4.6.0b20) to build a basic program that consisted of just an interactive user interface (UI), it was not necessarily intuitive. Below are the actual productive steps that led to motes of progress in making a functional program.

First, after some unfruitful guides (including the overly technical tutorials on the Unity site itself), I eventually found this tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/78675/unity-new-gui-part-1

Aside from the cutesy-ness, it was helpful getting a basic program with buttons that respond to clicks.

Hopefully one day I can use this to make some manifestation of my main project, Ephemeral Respite.

Gallery App on Android Crashes with Share

I had this problem: Every time I hit the share button anywhere using the Gallery app in Android, Gallery would crash. It made picture file manipulation quite difficult, and I just resorted to using other file managing apps. What an inconvenience!

When I searched for the answer I found this: http://inside-galaxy.blogspot.com/2013/12/samsung-galaxy-s3-how-to-fix-gallery.html.

It turns out that I had caused the problem, because in a flurry of turning off built-in apps, I turned off the "Paper Artist" app, which caused the crash on Gallery sharing.

When I Turned On the Paper Artist app, it fixed the problem.

Who would've thought that warning which stated "Turning off built-in apps may cause errors in other apps." would actually apply to anything?

Hope this is useful for anyone else with this issue.

My system for anyone who cares:
Software version: L900VPUCNE2
Hardware version: L900.09
Model number: SPH-L900
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: L900VPUCNE2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1561791, dpi@SWDD5716 #1
Build number: KOT49H.L900VPUCNE2
SE for Android statue: Enforcing, SEPF_SPH-L900_4.4.2_0016

Update (4/23/15): If the above strategy does not work, then you may want to check where your pictures are being saved and accessed.
I continued having problems with pictures on my phone, and the problem turned out to be a hardware one. The 64 GB microSD card I had installed was failing. I sent back the microSD card for a full refund, and bought a new 64 GB one (for cheaper, since the price has been dropping on memory!). Fixed a problem and made some cash, win-win.

Desired Pandora feature

I made a Pandora music station on an account that multiple people log in to and manage. I wish you could share/manage a station from separate accounts, so we wouldn't have to log out of one account and into the other to manage the station. Does anyone know a workaround, or is this a feature I don't know about in Pandora?

Thanks ahead of time internet.

Touch cell phones as a new vector for transmissible diseases.

Sitting in a hospital, tapping away on my smart phone, it struck me how robust viruses and bacteria could reside and spread using this surface that interfaces between fingers and face. How will this technology effect human health in relation to pathogens?
