no valid point everyone

yea its ok to post bugs and problems etc thats important because it helps the creators fix problems, but don't complain that everyone sucks and the devs suck, because guess what, these people have jobs, life's, and do this stuff for fun and in no way are these roms going to be 100 percent perfect every time, not even stock TB that came from HTC was perfect.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
Couldn't agree with you more! If you have issues with a ROM that make it "suck" switch ROMs or learn how to develop and make your own ROM.

The worst is all the people *****ing in the CM7 thread.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
what's with all these stupid threads lately...it's like the days of our lives around here

i miss the days when threads were only technical in nature...
[Thunderbolt General] turbosrrgood:
Then don't read the GENERAL forum. If you want threads of a technical nature stick to the DEVELOPMENT forum, it's not a hard concept...It's a bit ironic that you are calling other peoples threads "stupid"..
[Thunderbolt General] sfrancis:
Well said.

I would like to lodge a complaint about people complaining.

[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
Actually there are plenty of ways to have technical questions that have zero reason to be in the Dev subforum. Yet conversely there are always plenty of posts in General that are people having some issue and who are on a custom ROM.

[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
Man, you're not complaining that I called this thread stupid, are you? Now THAT'S irony...
[Thunderbolt General] lamoglinsgal:
I agree. How can you complain about something that's free, and is also take it or leave it. I give kudos to the developers for all the time they put into the builds, and then maintaining them.
[Thunderbolt General] lamoglinsgal:
Now, that's funny! :D
[Thunderbolt General] Carnage9270:
I noticed a lot of this behavior as of late. Imo, I think the devs should make the rooting process harder. Keep the children at bay so to speak.

I see it time and again, people asking questions that have clearly been answered in the OP or within the last few pages of a thread. They take no time to research anything. Most complain that the search utility is crap so why even try. I've never had problems with the search utility. It may not be the most robust tool but it works if you take the time to use it.

The demanding and complaining within threads has reached levels I haven't seen before on XDA. People need to remember that the devs write this stuff in their spare time. They are not obligated to do anything for you. You can make a request but that doesn't mean they will even consider it. There was a day when devs specifically put in the OP "This is my rom, you can make requests but I make this for me, take it as it is. Im just sharing witht he rest of you." But people have come to a point where they expect the devs to listen and do what they suggest.

In rooting your phone, you are voiding your warranty and taking extreme risks with your $500 Thunderbolt. In taking these risks it is assumed that you are a responsible person. Complaining about things or asking questions about things that have been clearly posted is not acting in a manner of a responsible person. Read fully before even starting the rooting process.

Just my opinion of course. But level of maturity on XDA has dipped to a level that is utterly absurd at times.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I agree about not having an easy way to root, and to some extent I agree about researching. I don't agree that this site has a functional search tool, when I search for something it brings up tons of unrelated stuff and if I add a little more to the search criteria to narrow the results it then says there's nothing matching my search, this is with both searching for threads and searching post within a thread. I was searching for something the other day and the post results didn't include any of the words I put into the search box. I do think people should look for an answer first but when there's 200 pages to go though it can take forever to find a simple answer, I think a faq post after the original post would work wonders for devs, then a lot of unnecessary post would be avoided but of course there will still be some people that are to lazy to skin through faq's.
[Thunderbolt General] Jrocker23:
+1 Devs Rock
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
The mods could go through the old posts that look worthless and just start pruning them or merging them with others. A lot of the duplicate threads could be solved by more watchful moderation, but I guess we don't have a moderator that would want to make it their more or less full time job to deal with that.
[Thunderbolt General] chrootz:
+1 Yup, Thanks devs for put up their spare time and hard work support the TB.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
They could "prune" the threads but I'm not sure how time consuming that would be since you only want to get rid of useless old post, they would have to go back through the thread. For a faq section they could just copy questions and paste in their faq post since most devs check their threads often this way they wouldn't be wasting time back tracking.

how can i update from magdlr 1.11 to magdlr 1.13
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] j4n87:
- download the current magldr 1.13 on the pc

- connect your device to your pc

- reboot your device and boot to the tricolor screen (press volume down, before the device starts)

- run ROMUpdateUtility.exe
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
use exactly the same method you did to install ver 1.11
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Unless you have enabled the Last28MB of nand, then magldr wont update it will wipe device and start over (afaik). Some roms ask you to enable it so you will need to backup first either nand or apps/date.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] super coffee:
I am working on a friend's captivate (att) and I have him running cognition ROM right now. Unfortunately, it still sucks and he hates his phone. I want to flash cyanogenmod to the phone, but I need to restore it to stock first (I think). I am trying to use AIO tool to flash the phone to stock, but ODIN hangs when I start it. Is there another way to switch ROMS without flashing back to stock first? I don't have to flash to stock with my Optimus V, so why it the Captivate such a PITA phone to mess with? Please help me. I am tired of my buddy complaining about his phone every day.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If the phone doesnt have the gb bootloaders then you can flash CM7 using any kernel with clockworkmod recovery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
I really wouldn't recommend CM7 if your friend isn't into phone development on his own, especially the nightly builds. However, if you're dead set on doing that, just do it without the AIO tool. Flash to stock with Odin one-click and root the phone some way (superoneclick is preferred) and then just follow the steps. Well, you actually don't require stock so long as your phone is rooted and not running GB bootloaders, but it's always safe to just go back to stock anyways.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] super coffee:
For some reason though, ODIN will not flash to stock. Sometimes it will get as far as flashing modem.bin, but then it just hangs. It made it all the way to filesystem.rfs once, but again, it hung up. What is going on here? Is it my PC or do these phones just do that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
It could be a variety of problems. I'd reinstall the drivers and ODIN on your computer, because something may not have installed correctly. I know that I've never had any issues going back to stock with ODIN.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] super coffee:
Now after failing so many times to flash the phone, I can't even get it to go into download mode anymore. I am using the volume up+volume down and plug usb method, but that all of a sudden will no longer start the phone. I am afraid that I may have bricked it. Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Is it doing anything? Showing any power?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superalpaca:
Try the ADB method, instructions on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

If all else fails, building a jig is very easy and cheap. My best guess is you had something installed incorrectly on your computer and when ODIN tried to do its thing it froze and then "software-bricked" your friend's captivate.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MONKY_1:
When get any can off error I restart my phone. The best solution for you my friend would be. Downloading the HTC skins on the computer. And putting them on your phones SD card and use a file manager to install them.

[Droid 2 Global General] esmith747:
I just downloaded the SBF from another thread and with the impending update I'd like to go back to stock. Can I flash the sbf with the bootstrapper recovery, or does it have to be through RSD?
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
It has to be through rsdlite, make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer as well. Its all automated, as soon as you tell rsdlite to start, it does everything by itself, just remember to go into recovery by pressing x on bootup and wipe data/cache and you'll be perfectly fine (I just sbf'ed as well in anticipation, running stock rooted with bloatware removed and no bootstrap)
[Droid 2 Global General] esmith747:
Did you try using bootstrap recovery to flash the original ROM? Would that work?
[Droid 2 Global General] rusty815:
it depends on where you got the sbf from, if its the rooted and deodexed rom from the get r done forums, then that is not the one you want to flash, the file should have an extension of .sbf in order for it to be flashed in rsdlite, if what you got was a .zip file, try unpacking it.
[Droid 2 Global General] esmith747:
Got it done.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
"Unfortunately with most Honeycomb tablets today we find ourselves in a difficult position when it comes to making any recommendations. NVIDIA's Kal-El target was originally August, I've heard more recently that the date has slipped to around September. Regardless of the specific month, there's a high likelihood that within the next four months you'll be able to get a much more powerful Android tablet for the same amount of money you'd spend today. With that in mind, I can't in good conscience recommend spending any amount of money on a tablet today if you can wait another two quarters. Remember Kal-El won't really change single threaded performance, but it will improve GPU performance and address the video decoding limitations of Tegra 2 today."
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Honeycomb OS is still not stable enough ... but it is usable.

Hopefully, the upcoming ICS will be very stable.

Or NOT? I meant, we will be in the same cycle ...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] meeekael:
Hmmm. I'm going to wait this one out now.

In a couple months if the 10.1 really is the best and there is decent development going on for it then I'll pick one up.

Otherwise it will probably be an ASUS Kal-El for me...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
It was a good review. And it even had me thinking maybe I should wait for Kal-El. But no. I Kal-El could launch in 4 months, it could also be 6 months. And just because a tablet or two comes out with a Kal-El processor doesn't necessarily mean it'll be a good quality tablet I'd want. I could very well be waiting until 2012 for a decent thin, light, tablet with high quality display.

So I'm going to go ahead and buy now, enjoy now. Well buy in 3 days anyway.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MrSewerPickle:
I agree. Eveb though we know Tegra 3 will be out "soon" I don't see shipping products until Christmas at the earliest.

If we all were spending $2,000 dollars on our max out credit cards to get these Tegra 2 based tablets I would probably wait as well but the fact remains they arnt that expensive, Tegra 3 could take even longer to mature driver wise and as always if you wait for the next best it will never happen and remember these are tablets, not oxygen masks required for daily living.....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
That's true indeed. That's why I settled with this GT 10.1 Tegra 2 as "stop gap", while waiting the magical perfect Android tablet. My feeling is telling me this Tegra 3 will be available next year (available = able to purchase). Because it is too soon to make it available this year where Tegra 2 devices are still new. I don't think manufacturers will rush to make new product every half year. They should want to make money for current products!

And I think Tegra 2 is still nice platform as long as you don't expect to watch high profile encoded MKV video (I don't !).

Back to this AnandTech review ... the thing that made me think is the battery life. I don't expect only 8.5 hours for daily use! That's too low (less) for 7000 mAH battery. I was expecting more.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eallan:
Is that true about the Google IO LE version having a worse panel? Anyone say otherwise?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Seihaku:
That "4 months it'll be obsolete" comment is annoying purely on the basis that a product launch doesn't mean it'll be available to us consumers anytime soon.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
They can't make a lot of money off of their current Tegra 2 products if their competitors are selling Tegra 3 products at attractive prices. There are supposedly at least 5 companies working on Tegra 3 tablets right now. Some, like Amazon, don't have a Tegra 2 product, so you know they will release it as quickly as possible. Once just a couple release Tegra 3 products, the others will have to also release Tegra 3, and/or deeply discount their Tegra 2 products, to continue selling them.

There's not a lot to these things. It doesn't take much of a redesign to put in a different chip. Look how fast Samsung completely, physically, re-designed the 10.1 once they realized how thin the ipad 2 was. If you sleep in this market, you get left behind. Buy one now if you need one now, but don't be upset in six months when you want the new ones. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Techno79:
Totally agree. My idea of a perfect tablet would be something that looks like the GT10.1 with a microSD card slot and a Kal-El processor. Anything else that it comes with is just a bonus.

I wouldn't be using the tablet for anything massively processor intensive so the main reasons for wanting a Kal-El chip is for better video/audio codec support and lower power usage (hence better battery life). I can live with the current Tegra 2 power usage but the video/audio codec support is a real let down.

However, I think I'll be getting the GT10.1 anyway to fill the gap between now and the ideal tablet.

(Obviously, my idea of ideal/perfect tablet changes overtime as my preferences changes and new technology becomes available. Therefore, one could argue that I'll never get my perfect tablet.)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] radiohead14:
agreed.. it makes sense for people who can wait to do so.. but if you need a tablet now, then i suggest going ahead, as you'll always just be waiting for something new and better to come along. it's an endless cycle. the moment you realize that what's out now is fine for your current needs.. is the moment you'll be satisfied with your purchase without having buyers regrets. technology moves fast, so might as well not worry about what's to come
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xManMythLegend:
Amazon will likely have a unrecognizable UI/skin on it. A nexus tablet wouldn't launch until ics. If you can make a convincing argument that someone will launch a quad core tablet as thin and light as the tab with equal quality screen before then I will be happy to hear it.
