I guess we are lucky in that the majority of Developers in the community are not demanding of donations or the 'quick buck'. Most do it to tinker in their spare time, to prove that it can be done, and to feed their passion. They are then gracious enough to share their works with us, everyday Joes, for nil thought of monetary gain (again, mostly).

It disheartens me greatly that the overwhelming majority of users now make the most ridiculous demands of Developers, expect a full-blown 'retail (bug-less)' experience, then have the gall to call Developers out if they decide to move away from the project, hit a brick wall or even just go to sleep!

Unfortunately I have even seen the odd Developer involved in this sort of behaviour, and it's certainly not limited to Junior members either, not by a long shot :(

These guys don't get paid, they're (generally) doing the best they can with what they've got, and they share with us out of their own goodwill. We use and try these things at our own risk. It's printed in big red letters at the top of most ROM threads these days, for good reason :)

With the onset of the 'smartphone revolution', it's amazing to read through a 50-page thread and watch how many people ask for each and every feature in a 'CWM flashable zip' because they can't, or won't, read through a few pages, or even do a search. I'd wager a fair few wouldn't even know what a Command Prompt or Fastboot was. These kids are flashing whatever looks 'cool' to their devices without so much as a clue to what it does (other than OMG an extra 0.1GHz! - example only), then expecting everyone else to pull them out of the **** when it goes pear-shaped ('I need flashable zip for...'), and having a bit of a go if something doesn't work, rather than sitting back and waiting for it to get past version 0.1.

I have great sympathy for Developers today, as they don't have a hope in Hell of keeping on top of this, nor keeping up with the ridiculous demands.

Even if we make a donation, it does not entitle us to any more support than the regular user who just hits the 'Thanks' button, or even just silently downloads and uses. It's called a donation for a reason. This is a community based on goodwill and sharing, although some days it certainly doesn't look that way.

I've bored you long enough :) Thankyou for asking the question and giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts. Remember, the Developers are the lifeblood of this community, and (thankfully) bad eggs among them are quite rare.

Take care.

No problem, always nice to know others thoughts on an idea.

There are the dedicated devs who do spend vast amounts of time on their work and everyone (most everyone anyway) are quite appreciative of it. I'm more concerned with devs, whether new or old, just maybe responding. Not just toward reasonable (or ludicrous) requests but just a general question. I wouldn't look for them to respond to everyone who does ask something though, they would be there for days. :P

I'm just trying to port a recovery for my phone and cannot get a response from any of those respected and revered devs that have done all the work on those recoveries. I've done my fair share of Googling and asking around here and still have not been able to make any progress on it. There was one member who has been lending a hand but other than him, I haven't gotten any other responses. :(
[General Topics] k_nivesout:
It sounded like the first post was more about app devs and the second was about rom devs...
[General Topics] Jamin13:
I was just talking about devs in general, not any specific kind. Could be ROMs, could be Apps, people will still ask for more and more and pester until they get what they want or until the developer gets fed up and: makes the changes, stops responding, or gets run off.

Hello everyone. I've got this screen protector of the ebay, and it works fine. But there is one negative - It refuses to stick on the edges no matter what I do.

Here is a photo:

http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/995/img20110717205652.jpg

What can I do to make it stick?
[General Accessories] el_bhm:
I wonder whether those are artifacts/irregularities on protection screens or screen itself. I had "spots" in weird places on Wildfire that wouldn't go away.

I figure either live with it or try other screen protector. Especially different brand.
[General Accessories] AntonJart:
Since I had six of those, I glued one onto my laptop to test - same thing, edges refuse to stick. I guess after all Ill go to verizon store, will buy iPhone screen protector ( anti glare one for iPhone is superb) and cut it for mt4g
[General Accessories] amy822:
You should try some other screen protectors. The screen protector I use is doing a great job. I'm sure you will find one too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowFlare:
Hi guys, I've posted regarding this issue on a thread somewhere but not getting much hits. If you have 3G Data enabled then put your SGSII to sleep, and wake it up, do you see the Data signal as 'H' or '3G'? Mine wakes up and it's on 'H'. My phone is rooted, using Lite'ning ROM 2.2 XXKG1. I compared with a friend's SGSII with everything stock and not rooted, same thing, wakes up on 'H'.

The phone should switch to 3G when sleeping / stand-by to save battery... but for some reason, each time I wake my phone up, I can see 'H' on the Data Connection instead of '3G'. If I unlock my screen and wait 5-10 secs, Data then switches to 3G. But if I lock it and unlock again, it's back to 'H'. I believe this has been draining my battery more than when I have WiFi connected.

Widgets I have running is Beautiful Weather, refresh every hour, did NOT check refresh on wake up. Google Auto-sync is on. Fast Dormancy is on. I have once tried switching all of these off, reboot, but still same thing.

I've searched for this issue on google, this whole forum but just can't find a post discussing about this issue. Maybe I didn't use the right keywords... I've been searching: "samsung galaxy s2 sleep 3g hsdpa" , something along those lines. Of course I tried combinations like just sleep 3g or sleep hsdpa etc.

If there is a discussion regarding this, could you point me to it please or suggest keywords to search for, thanks.

Forget fastboot for now. Download Joeykrim's "flash_image gui"

Download latest custom recovery

Rename it recovery.img

Open flash_image gui

Select recovery and browse to recovery and flash it

Now you have permanent cust recovery.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] typci:
Is is possible to configure the TF101 automatically change the keyboard upon connecting/disconnecting the dock?

I want to use the physical keyboard when the tablet is docked. When it isn't docked, I want to use Swype, because the Asus onscreen keyboard just isn't anywhere near as good as Swype.

Another problem I have is, for some strange reason, when using the Asus onscreen keyboard, long pressing the text box doesn't bring up the switch keyboard option. I experienced this today using Evernote, and have seen it in other programs.

Is there a shortcut on the Asus onscreen keyboard to change keyboards (not to another Asus keyboard, but to another installed keyboard)?

If not, is there an widget I can put on the desktop that will toggle between two different keyboards?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljs_cz:
I'm afraid that automatic switching of keyboard is not possible. As far as I know the permission which is necessary to change keyboard from other process is not possible to get without platform manufacturer signature (Asus in case of stock Transformer)

For the keyboard switch yo can use a small keybard icon in the notification area.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
There is an app to switch keyboards based on orientation. I remember it coming from someone on the N1 subforums. Try looking for it and contacting the dev and see if he's willing to adapt it for the TF.

It does require root though.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmarquis:
My 2.2 Captivate (rooted, but little else) plays music pretty well mostly, but after 2 or 3 songs it pauses for maybe 5 - 10 seconds (seems like forever), then it resumes. Usually this does not recur during the remaining session.

This is not the expected pause I get when a new email, or text comes in. The 2.1 music player didn't seem to have this problem.

I have searched the forum (one comment suggests clearing data in the apps settings---didn't work for me) and the web and haven't find a solution.

Any ideas?

I've copied my instructions to get the keylights working on MIUI.

OP can patch this to the decompiled framework:

If you have decompiled the frmaework-res, navigate to the folder /res/values (and values-de etc.... for the translations)

Open the arrays.xml and search the values for:

Now change it to:

Then recompile the framework-res

Be sure, that you have changed this values in every single language folder.

On running systems, you can do the following steps:

- menu

- settings

- display settings

- Brightness - Advanced Mode

- Light Levels - check "use custom"

- edit other levels

Now have a look at the right side (under the "Buttons"

There are five values

255

255

0

0

0

change them to

255

255

70

70

Now press "save settings"

Done!
