Question for the Mods:

Would it be helpful to have a stickied thread titled:

Questions for the Epic mods

That way anyone that had a question for the mods could post it there, and it would get high visibility

[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
I eel like we should have a mod that is smone in these frums and doesn't start anything like.... someof the devs and a few other people who ry to keep the peace... but most of our community just loves to piss other peoplee off cuz there in there moms basement and are 45.... we all just need to chill out and when we see a post we don't report it to a moderatorbecaue you think its not productive, just ignore ignore ignore.... people in hese forums can't just pass by something without saying n00b or this is in the wrong section or this is off topic...Who cares.... if its in the wrong section report it and if its really off topic and its causing falme wars then report it...
[Epic 4G General] RandomKing:
Please feel free to take yourself and your fellow "supporters" to your own thread where you can bicker and annoy yourselves all day long.

thomasskull666, qbking77, chris41g have provided some of the best kernels, roms, mods, guides, and support available in the Epic 4G forum. While I don't intend to partake in this particular debate, implying that they should be banned is completely asinine.

Without members such as these, the Epic 4G forum of XDA Developers would have no development. If you're not interested in Epic 4G development, then you shouldn't be here.

Thank you.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Few things i've noticed :

1) Regular users reply to n00b mistakes (wrong OPs, repeat questions, etc.. ) with intolerance and impatience rather than just reporting offending OP.

In turn, same vocal regulars be it dev or other form of contributor are then seen as A-holes by the n00bs.

2) It is my personal opinion it is ok to "personalize" one's development (ROMs/Themes) but it seems one or a few individuals have made it a cause to the point they've spun off other devs to use the "plight" scam for self serving intentions. I do understand the US economy is bad for some people in certain areas, but "pushing" for donations for one's self or for another is in bad taste.

3) I feel in most cases, MODs do not pick on individuals. What seems to be going on in certain cases is that certain individuals have personal agendas (for example line 1) and utilize the posting tools to exact their dislike for a topic or individual. Different strokes for different folks, respect that and agree to disagree is there is a difference in opinion. Labeling someone a troll just cause you don't agree makes you pathetic.

4) Keep in mind, although this maybe a US based phone section, not all users on XDA are American. With that said, users here should keep in mind not everyone thinks like an american and has western/american views and cultural values.

5) If a user should have any issues or concerns, please be the bigger person and escalate it to the proper channels rather than using this forum as a soap box/daytime soap opera to vent and contributing to the same thing you complain about.

6) Ever consider the reason why Epic section isn't heavily moderated as others? We have less trolling/spam than other sections, yet we've grown so spoiled and intolerant to the point we expect MODs to jump to attention like a army private when we have an issue like we were some paying customer at car dealership. Keep things in perspective...

7) If you do have issues, please point to reference/OP to better explain your concerns rather than generalizing and lumping months of frustration into a single post. MOD's world does not revolve around you, so make your point clear to them.

8) Read and comprehend the forum rules, if you need clarification, PM a MOD.

That's all for now. :D
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
I reported it, but got no response back.

Epic Devs lost due to moderator actions or lack thereof:

Marcusant

pftdmedic

ecooce

Rob_91

All of these guys would have been just fine and some didn't need to be banned as a first response to a violation. The thread could have been frozen and things could have been negotiated.

Boht Marcusant and ecooce overreacted, but they were trying to contribute passionately and had inappropriate reactions to a disproportionate response to their violation.

When Impaler was here, it seems like he would clean up violating posts, tell everyone what he was doing and all seemed ok with the world. Trolls were nquashed quickly and it allowed intelligent discussion. Now you have people getting banned for their frustration with trolls and malcontents not being addressed in a reasonable amount of time.

I go to other phones' formus and I see them being properly moderated. Please don't feed us a line about how it's soooooo busy. I've heard responsible people say they'd like to be a mod and ask where to apply and get no response.

At times it does feel like Samsung and Sprint ignore us that it feels like the Mods here are getting their jollies by joining that party and then bragging about how they're so busy with their new EVO 3D to come do their job.

Get us a permanent mod, please. This is getting old and I'm really using XDA less and less. You said you don't want upset users, but quality here is declining quickly and no one is helping.

You or other mods are taken the word of people with these stats and all of his "post" have been 3 or 4 threads of nothing but flaming and trolling.

Hell even look at my stats compared to the one above. I am not a dev but I like to test and I am troubleshooter / problem solver it is what I do for a living. So I will help fix things when I can and if I don't know the answer I will wait to see and learn from it.

You want to clean it up great! So far this is a good start but some more needs to be done. There are n00bs coming in here talking "rules" that haven't been here long enough to even know who is who or anything causing issues. He doesn't even belong to or contribute to the Epic community all he has done is try to sell his quite smoking app in his sig whoopie what else has he done?

This is what happens when you have a small "neighborhood" like this with no place to just hang out and "chit chat" if it can't be General then why not a "Off Topic" sub forum. I saw some where this wouldn't happen can you please explain why? If every phone had their own sub forum of "off topic" you could close the main one and I don't think there would be any more "strain" on the system. I for one never go to the main page I always come straight here.

As stated people can't give you examples of threads that have been deleted because well there deleted. Closed is another story. I enjoyed qbking "where your nick come from" thread that pertained to US as in the Epic community.

Thanks for restoring Rob's thread to where it belonged would it be possible to sticky it?

Feel free to PM me for any follow up.

Exactly the reason we NEED a Epic off topic
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Not meaning to fan the flames or anything like that, but I was under the impression that the General forum in the Epic forums was for General chat, i.e., off-topic, so as to build the camaraderie of the Epic community. I don't go anywhere else on this site because I have no need for being acquainted with any other phone owner. I'm an Epic user first and an XDA user second so I prefer to stick with my own "kind".

We have a Q&A forum for epic questions and such, but what kind of posts SHOULD go in the General forum if not general communication?

Real question seeking an answer.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I don't know how to apply to be a moderator, but id be willing to moderate the forums on a daily basis. The problem is that we go months without a moderator doing anything and then when they do something people freak out.

I don't know what happened here over the last 12 hours since I was last on, but damn if the general section doesn= look like the most organized and on topic it has been in months.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
Hi guys,

I ve got a HDMI adaptor and cable for my S2 and it is working fine on the TV with HDMI, just wondering if I can connect S2 to the telly without HDMI socket?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
There is no cable for that. Or use an HDMI cable with a DVI converter on top of it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Google for HDMI to composite. There's loads of cheap leads to do this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] up4fun2day:
I am also trying to find how to cheaply connect S2 to a crt tv with either scart or composite RCA - does't look possible without high cost below taken from a web site but not allowed to post link as I'm a new user!:

HDMI To Composite Cable is sought by many people nowadays. People who have old technology equipments try to connect them with brand new HDMI-ready devices. Most old devices are using either composite cable, analog cable, or S-Video cable.

HDMI To Composite CableSome people think that they are able to convert the digital signal from HDMI end to several analog signals in the other end. The truth is, while you clearly can connect wire-to-wire, which simply won’t work. There is no possible solution to convert digital to analog signal without using a converter box. When you see HDMI To Composite Cable sellers claim to be able to convert the digital to analog signal directly without a converter box, they mostly scam and don’t work.

So, is it possible to convert the digital signal to analog signal? The answer is yes, but you can’t use a simple HDMI To Composite Cable. You need a converter box. It will do the conversion from digital to analog without a breeze. You may find them on the market labeled as HDMI To Composite Converter, HDMI To S-Video Converter, HDMI To 3 RCA Converter, HDMI To 5 RCA Converter, HDMI To Composite 3 RCA / S-Video Converter Adapter, but simply not as HDMI To Composite Cable only.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viva.fidel:
hdmi uses digital signal, so you can use a DVI adaptor but that's it.. (or digital component but that's ultra rare)

to use analogue (scart, composite, component, s-video) you'll need a digital-to-analogue converter box and they cost around £30 from ebay.. you're better off putting that money towards a new LCD with hdmi

According to Android Police, Netflix has added our device to the supported list!

http://bit.ly/oPqr9l

version 1.3 is supposed to work on our device, but currently the version that you can download from the market is 1.2.2, so I guess that's why it isn't working yet.

[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
I saw it in the market earlier. I thought it had appeared because of some of the tweaking I'd done after rooting today, but quickly realized that is probably preposterous. This makes a lot more sense.

Anyway, it doesn't work for me either. Force quits after trying to log in.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Here's to hoping that 1.3 update is released soon and we can finally watch Netflix over our unlimited 4g data plans!
[Verizon Droid Charge] muymanwell:
dropped a 1 star on the app in the market for listing the charge as supported, and it STILL closing after login. here's hoping after enough of those, they'll actually fix the issue. honestly, this is the one app I'm holding out for to make this phone complete for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] no1kung1:
Not working for me either. Reboots after logging in. Seems like netflix pulled the switch a bit too early.
[Verizon Droid Charge] streetlightman:
the version downloaded from the market works on the gingerbread leak (i don't think it worked before). maybe netflix requires gingerbread? idk. hopefully that's true only because it means a gingerbread release would be any day
[Verizon Droid Charge] ShotgunSam:
Netflix would not add the Charge to supported devices over a leak, since its you know.....a leak...... and yes, previously most all phones required GB to run netflix.

If it added as a supported device and still won't work on Froyo, then it deserves bad star ratings, if it will support the Charge Froyo with a new version of the app, but that version isn't out yet and they are already adding it to the list of supported devices, it deserves a 1 start review.
[Verizon Droid Charge] madsquabbles:
has anyone tried it on stock froyo or are we all on modded roms?
[Verizon Droid Charge] chiahead52:
Tried on both
[Verizon Droid Charge] Steve.G:
2 things:

First, it specifically mentions the Commando with 2.2 as being compatible.. so that's a nod toward Froyo support.

Secondly, it lists the Bionic as being supported.. so maybe they just grabbed a list of phones and called them supported.. or maybe the Charge is going to get Gingerbread soon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MasterRy88:
Its definetly becuase they didnt put 1.3 on there. It even says in the description "Netflix 1.3" but has 1.2.2 so thats clearly the problem. But why on earth would they update the description and not the actual app?????
[Verizon Droid Charge] porlo:
The app downloaded fine from market on my GummyCharged Froyo. But it's the same 1.2.2 version released a month ago. The app description does mention 1.3 - so hopefully an update will be pushed out soon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I just called Netflix to complain about it not working and they told me that it may be a DRM issue.

The more people that call to complain the faster they will fix the problem. (or they will pull support for our phones)
[Verizon Droid Charge] ShotgunSam:
Its always been a DRM problem.

So the questions we need answered is 1.3 going to clear up those issues or did they just throw the DC on that list for the heck of it.

There is no point in doing anything until the official version on the market is actually 1.3. Then we will find out if anything changed.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bananahands:
Looks like it was just updated. Loaded up fine for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GoBlue13:
Mine shows it has an update in the market, but it doesn't give me the option to update, just open or uninstall. Anyone else running into this?

Sent from my Droid Charge!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
I just updated to 1.3 over the market and it is working.

The app loads and streams content over 4G. The graphics used in the interface look terrible on our high resolution screens. The video quality on the device seems to be fine. Video quality over HDMI to a 1080p tv is fairly bad. Still images are okay but any serious motion in the video becomes choppy and stutters.
[Verizon Droid Charge] muymanwell:
still getting 1.2.2 here, even trying uninstall/reinstall, and still closing after sign-in..sigh.

UPDATE - forced update from market.android.com, working now!!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saje2_main2:
does it effect the phone if we flashing the rom for many time....??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Yes. If you write to your nand more than 10,000 times it will get to the point where cells will start to fail and rom capacity will be reduced. Bear in mind we are talking 10,000 times for each cell to be written to, and newer nand controllers will smooth the wear by spreading the load so all cells wear evenly.

In practice you will almost certainly have a new phone long before your nand starts to degrade so I really wouldn't worry about it. You could flash one new rom every day and it will take almost 30 years to get to the end of life for the nand.

:D I just love customizing my phone...so made up a few lock rings for myself on Sense 3.0. :D

Just some personal preferences here, feel free to use em if you like.

These have been tested on a few different ROMs...Synergy RC1 / Alliance 7.7/ Kings Kingdom 1.7 to name a few.

Should work on the hybrids as well as 3.0.

Must be using HTC skin by default to change ring style...won't work on the others!!

Just flash in recovery (I'm using Amon-Ra v2.3) and enjoy...especially you Boston fans!

**It goes without saying...but I'll say it anyways:

You alone are responsible for any risks involved in flashing things to your device.**

I'll toss up more that I come up with as I do em...if there are any requests, I'll do my best if you supply the image.
