[Galaxy S II General] Teio:
Tutorial copied from spaarc from X10 subforum. Just thought this is a nice idea and should be spread through all subforums of XDA.

Link to original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220777

ONCE AGAIN: THIS TUTORIAL WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME AT ALL, I'VE JUST EDITED SOME PARTS WHERE THE OP MENTIONED THE X10 FORUM.

But I would appreciate if you hit the thanks button...

It would be nice if every section of the xda had a copy of this.

Here it goes:

This is a tutorial for people who are new to xda and the SGS2 forums...

There are many other people who do not how to thank either

So here are the steps :

Do's :

If a developer

1.) You click on the OP of the dev showing a ROM

2.) You read through his OP

3.) LEFT CLICK the thanks the Thanks button before u do anything

4.) If using XDA app, hit menu button on your phone, then click Browser, and hit thanks from the browser.

If a good post

1.) You read the post and like it

2.) Left click the thanks button

3.) If using XDA app, hit menu button on your phone, then click Browser, and hit thanks from the browser

the thanks button looks like this and can be found on the bottom right corner of posts

Dont's :

1.) You feel ungrateful

2.) You download and use the ROM without hitting the thanks button

3.) You forget about the thanks button and post "THANKS" or "Good work , mate"

4.) You don't bother to read this guide :D

5.) You right click the thanks button

6.) You search for a please button

7.) You forget to thank even a good post

8.) Feel lazy to thank because you are using the XDA APP... I'm sure the DEV had much more work on the ROM that you are using than you will have to hit thanks.

Any1 is free to report or Help me with new ideas :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] veiderson:
Hi,

I installed the Cyanogenmod 6.3.0 in my Milestone yesterday and I noticed a strange behavior. When I connect to the computer through the usb , the phone always remais in the moto phone portal mode. If I switch to just charge battery or to manage sd card, some seconds after the phone automatically goes back to the "moto phone portal mode". I´ve used a lot of roms on my phone (Shadowmodbr, earlier versions of cyanongenmod 6, all stock roms) and this bug never happened with me. This is my first post on XDA, so I'm not allowed yet to post directly on Milaq's thread.

Thanks,
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] skadude66:
If you really don't use Moto Phone Portal, then there's no point in keeping it. You can uninstall it from Applications > All.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] HinotoriBR:
Not sure why you are getting this bug, I have no such issue, I plug my phone and it remembers the last USB configuration (which is usually Charge Only, sometimes Memory Card Connection)....
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] veiderson:
Last week after I installed some patchs, like wifi and dsi fix, gingerbread theme, this issue didn't happen anymore. I have no idea why this bug started and suddenly stopped (maybe the wipe cache helped to solve this issue), but the fact I'm so glad now because this rom is awesome.

Hello! I saw that some users (developers) are "recognized developers". Can i be too? I made a custom ROM, and an utility (Androtility, look at my signature). If not, what must I do, and what are the benefits?

Thanks!

[About XDA developers] PlayfulGod:
Good question, I dont really consider myself a developer, but I have been maintaining CM7-Ascend, just ported CM7 to the LG Optimus C LW690 with assistance from BobZhome using inferiorhumanoids repo as a base (repo is setup real nice for the LG Optimus line). And I have ported CWM to a few devices, Ascend 2 M865, Micromax A70, LG Optimus C LW690, and working on a few more. Currently working on porting CM7 to the Huawei Ascend II M865. Also have a couple of cooked ROM for the Ascend and Ascend II.
[About XDA developers] AndrewSh:
Funny question - how to become that developer :)

I finally realized - the proud name "recognized developer" is assigned to the person who managed to create bootable rom for his device and upload it to file hosting..... These two tasks - kitchen usage and internet skills - are quite enough.....

I suppose you would make a rom with someone's kitchen. Then clone it with the help of different lang packs to several languages. Then - upload all these roms (hopefully still bootable) to file hosting. Then - start several topics here with one link to uploaded rom in each thread.

Don't believe me? Visit HD2 Rom Development section :)

Just kidding :) Don't take yourself so damn seriously! :)

Hey guys, I was curious about how this works. I submitted my form and is there a cycle we wait on? Do you review all that have accumulated over two weeks and then repeat the process, or something like that? I'm not in a hurry by any means but I was just wondering how the review process works. Thanks. :)
[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
To sum it up quickly...

LOADS of people apply and a few people have to sort through all the applications one at a time as and when they have free time to do so.

From what I can tell theres a lot of looking at users work and post history to determine whether or not they meet the criteria and each application can be quite time consuming so therefore it can take quite a while for applications to be processed.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klk450:
Would the Nexus S 4G get ICS at the same time the non 4G version of the NS get ICS? Is there much of a difference from either versions that would delay the NS4G getting Icecream sandwich?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
We're not fortune tellers, but the NS4G is the only device to officially have 2.3.5.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
No one knows the rollout schedule for ICS. But you can assume that all the Nexus S variants will get ICS eventually. Most likely they will release ICS for the Nexus S variants close to the same time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
That doesn't really have any bearing on ICS. 2.3.5 was mainly to fix some issues with the 4G Nexus S, so the others aren't receiving it for what most say are extremely minor issues otherwise.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klk450:
So there's not a whole lot of differences between the two variant phone that would delay ICS to the 4G version? Between the two phones the only difference is the wimax chip in the 4G version?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
YES the Nexus-S 4G will get Android 4.0 "Ice Cream", we will be the second phone to get it behind the Nexus-Three obviously. I would expect it anywhere from two weeks or two months later, after the Nexus-Three launch, but we will get the official update first before any other phone. Now the gods here at XDA might be able to help us out, and get an official build on the N-S sooner, time will tell.

But high end phones like the EVO-3D and Galaxy S2, will get "Ice Cream" after the Nexus-S, I can say that much.

hi,ive got a sandisk 32gb class 4 card coming my way & was wondering what the best way to transfer all the data from my 16gb card to the new 32gb ?:confused:
[Xperia Play General] Deoxlar:
Copy everything on the 16gb into a folder on your computer computer. Then drag it into your 32gb card. That's what I did when I was transferring from 8gb to 16gb and then 16gb to 32gb last week.
[Xperia Play General] Force.:
Yeah like the previous poster said just use your computer, but I advise using copy and paste (then deleting the files you no longer want) not cut and paste. As if for some reason it fails half way through you don't want to have the files spread all over multiple cards etc.
[Xperia Play General] netorino:
Make sure you enable hidden folders just incase, because some apps hide their folders so they don't clutter with stuff you don't usually have to worry about.

I didn't get your question buddy. You need to be more specific.
[Android] snoopdaclown:
Looks like your using a Samsung intercept. Sprint or VM?? You can go to sda.com to the forums and use brom which is a good one for that phone. And the kernels will be there too, in the forums of course. You can also get a rom and kernel here on xda in the intercept forums but you gotta make sure your using the right ones for the right build of the phone and if your looking for eclair PR Troy. There's 4 builds each I think. Two for sprint and two for VM. I had the ec07 one and was happy with it at first but it didn't run like I would of liked it. But if you help with it hit me up in a pm and I can help.

Interesting.

Thinking about it I can't say I disagree, especially at current price points. With the disclaimer that it's primarily a hobbyist device, I don't think it's well suited for anyone who needs their phone to just work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Yeah, this phone isn't exactly stable. Had an incident today, had to NANDROID restore.

Still. Has good days. Some bad....

I'm using Weapon ROM with Faux's 1.1 kernel - moderate use (20 mins of google music streaming, couple of air controller games, texts and one phone call) and I was just at 70% after 7.5 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZiZi_G2X:
After using this phone for 4 months now, I can clearly say this phone is pretty decent. I've got the screen bleed and all, but all my lcd screens in my house have it to a certain degree. That's not a problem for me. This is my first LG product and I won't knock it too hard;). I've owned cellphones for awhile now (first cellphone was in the mid 90's) and speaking strictly from the phone aspect of this device, it is better than most. The earpiece is a little low on the sound (you have to angle it just right to get it loud) but the speaker phone is loud and clear. The mic on here is good, I've never had complaints about my voice being unclear other than from people that are talking from HTC phones. Which brings me to my next point. The phone part of this phone:D kills HTC and the Iphone (Iphone is close to CB quality!). I think motorola and nokia are the only ones that sound better now.

P.S. My favorite phone of all time was the Motorola Timeport!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rackfoo:
Yeah my phone rocks. The battery? Not so much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheBigSaxon:
I'm getting pretty good battery life out of my G2X. I played ZDefense today for nearly 4 hours with music over stereo Bluetooth with wifi on and it ate about 45% of my battery. Normally I get about 20 hours of normal use (3 hours of s btooth, data off, wifi, surfing and Kindle). I charge every day but usually don't have to all the time.

It seems like turning data off really saves the battery as does living in a strong network area.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
If you have crappy battery life, install betterbatterystats from this forum and monitor your wakelocks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Zdefense is great, Hex defense is also, different enough to want to have both. When you say 4 hours gone on Zdefense, I understand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BenSWoodruff:
I am one of those people with a lot of time near chargers, so battery is never an issue. I'm trying to keep this g2x stock. Only issue I've been having is some freezing when I'm on wifi and it's trying to use 2g, or when it really needs a power reset. I reset every day or two to keep it running smoothly enough.

Why is this phone in the midrange category?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
512Mb RAM, 1GHz vs 1.2GHz, 1Gb RAM on SGSII maybe? I'm not sure I wondered the same thing. Could also be it's age vs newer devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] userno69:
The 1GHz vs 1.2GHz should not be any factor, it is faster than the 1.2GHz dual core Snapdragon in the Sensation, for example. The GPU in the G2x is also second only to that of the SGSII. The only thing I can think of is the fact that it has only 512MB of RAM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
I thought the range was based on cost after reading the article.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bobdelt:
based on cost..... g2x is free most days of the week
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Or the fact that the G2X has been troubled, and probability has already reached the end of it's manufacturer support cycle.

The G2x rightly belongs in a bargain bin.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
Cheer up Eeyore, there's no way of knowing that the phone has or has not reached the end of its support cycle. At least we have some great devs working on the device.

Speaking of endo of manufacture support, with the HTC Ruby (which is essentially a Sensation reboot) coming to T-Mobile in October I wonder what will happen with support for the Sensation (another reason I didn't take up T-Mobile's offer to exchange my G2X for the Sensation).

[HTC Sensation] Subjective Effect:
I had a Nexus One for ages (still do) and that seems fine.

But on my new Sensation after the new Maps update although it "works" it no longer switches into car view mode that shows you the road ahead and stays as a map navigation system - the view is only from above.

Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix it?
[HTC Sensation] lysergic:
Typically that means it can't get a GPS fix. Does the GPS icon indicate a fix? It could be bad luck with the location...

Even when I sent the phone to NEVER vibrate if I go to volume settings and minimize all sounds to have no sounds and have the phone vibrate settings set to never.

The phone will still vibrate when I recieve a text.

It wont vibrate on an incoming call or email.

How can I get this phone to not make a sound when I truely want it on silent mode.

If I put it on silent mode then alarms and media have sound and I dont want that either.

Does anyone have any solutions Im on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130117

Is there an apk I can download or something.
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
What app are you using for Messaging? If its Handcent you need to go into that app's settings to disable vibrating on incoming texts, one thing is adjusting the settings on your phone, but apps miraculously have their own settings, and act upon themselves.

Ok so my phone booted up into the bootloader the other day and the the volume keys and power keys arent working. I cant get adb to connect to it either.

Anyone know of a solution? Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] PaganAng3l:
Is your bootloader s-off or s-on? If it's s-off try putting an ruu as a pc10img.zip on your sdcard and flashing it through bootloader. You'll have to reroot and possibly get s-off again so use a 2.2 ruu

could it be that somehow your trackpad is stuck?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Daryl Keith:

If you are rooted you most likely have clockworkmod recovery? Have you tried to boot into there and flash a clean rom?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Daryl Keith:
i cant boot into anything else but the bootloader and when in there the buttons arent working. Is there another way to boot into recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
You need adb. I'm not saying it will work but its worth a shot. If you don't know adb the is a guide in the dev section.

If you can get adb connected to your device after you adb shell into phone you can run "adb reboot recovery". Hopefully that works, but if not I'm at a loss
[G2 and Desire Z General] tun4f1sh:
Try removing your SD card, then see if you can get to recovery through the BL.
