[Desire General] erklat:
Nice. Now I see suggested threads popping all over the place as I type this. I find it very indicative.

Oxygen tips&tricks is inactive as most users go rather to their forums. I mean, c'mon, 14 runnymede threads on the first two pages of Q&A (and counting) looks ridiculous and makes all of us look silly. Release Oxygen and place this instead when apparently dedicated rom threads are not enough for some people.

What do reputable members think about this?
[Desire General] island3r:
Define reputable members.

Also, I count 4 threads on the front page.
[Desire General] erklat:
You defined yourself. Read again.
[Desire General] island3r:
Right.

So, people post a question on the development forum, and the usual suspects jump at them for doing that (understandably so). THEN, they post the same question on the Q&A forum, and you jump at them again?

Get a life and be more polite in the future. No one is forcing you to answer to their threads.
[Desire General] erklat:
What level of politeness you expect? You come barging in, you do what is called selective reading and completely irrelevant to the topic at hand as you have done it before, and now I turn impolite? :D

So, let me make a summary of what you wrote - someone opens a thread in development section where the only thing someone developed is brain hemorrhaging, they get bashed (understandably so), mods intervene and move it to where it belongs (I concur), while at the same time that very rom has it's own dedicated thread for the inquiries like that?
[Desire General] danarama:
Actually I won't jump on them but I agree. They're all about the same thing so the ops should be tagging on to the end of the thread. That's just forum etiquette really
[Desire General] island3r:
I can't understand what you are trying to say. First of all, I've never said anything irrelavant to any topic. Or ever started one (like this). And secondly I've never started a thread in the developement section in general.
[Desire General] erklat:
C'mon, stop trolling. I know there is no possibility someones abstract thinking can't comprehend what I tried to say, but in case there are people like that, I'll edit that out of courtesy so that anyone could understand it.
[Desire General] island3r:
I still don't get what you're saying. Nevertheless you are right, this forum is not for discussing personal disputes, so I'll leave the rest of the discussion for the more... reputable members.
[Desire General] Terepin:
You know, it's because users are afraid that if they push "Search" button their PC will explode. Either that or they are just simply stupid.

Shhhh! Who told you about that script?

They have important matters to attend to. We without lives have time to roam endless threads. They don't.

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
[Desire General] pitzelberger:
not sure whether I understand your point. anyway, for me, I was not allowed to post in the dedicated threat. xda server told me that I first need 10 posts to be allowed posting in developer, which btw is for developers only, and instead I should post in Q&A ;)
[Desire General] Terepin:
Some of them can't do even that.

Which is highly hypocritical from them, because if they do have important matters to attend to they wouldn't bother posting here in the first place.
[Dell Streak 7] Tanalius:
Okay so I have been searching and trying methods on this forum for days to no avail. I had put Honeystreak onto my Streak and decided to go back. I have used the Nvflash method listed here and it will boot into Android but when you try to connect to wifi a few processes crash and it will not connect. I've tried finding info on what exactly to do with this fastboot method but all I ever see is "If this dosent work try fastboot" or they say to do something in CMW, but I do not have CWM installed.

I would really just like to get back to a fresh, working stock rom on a dell streak 7 tmobile that does not have CMW installed.
[Dell Streak 7] Tanalius:
Well I have been able to get into fastboot now, and I have attempted to flash CMW. It says it is successful, but when I boot into recovery it is still just the stock recovery. What the hell could I be doing so wrong?
[Dell Streak 7] Droidmoder:
Can you uninstall apps or check things and they reset?

If you answered yes, your a proud owner a a dead streak 7 in read only mode. It has to sent back to dell
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] smoke423:
Anyone have else have utube problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
Thats a pretty vague question. What problem in particular are you wondering if anyone else is having?

I have zero problems with my ET4G and youtube, but a friend bought one after playing with mine and his phone wouldn't load any youtube videos. It would just sit there with the circle/loading icon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] allroy1975:
Mine sits at the beginning with the circle spinning for a long time and then when it plays a lit of times it craps out about 50-75% of the way through the video. It kinda sucks.

:-(
[General Questions and Answers] garyprather:
I have been able to upgrade through at&t but I do not know what phone to get either the galaxy s ii or the iphone 4s. I know there is not a jailbreak out yet for the iphone but it will be soon. I have yet to mess with the gs2 but have done a lot of research on both. My brother has the 4s, nice phone great performance. I am a cnc programmer ( machinist) so cad software is nice on a device in my pocket. All the research I have done and videos always leads to some type of fan-boy ranting. I like the larger screen the gs2 has but I also like the i message feature considering I do not have unlimited text but do have unlimited data. I like gaming and such also. If someone here can give me some advise on the ups and downs of both phones please?
[General Questions and Answers] 21cdb:
Do you have any experience with iOS or Android? I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an S2, and for me the S2 is a much better phone, and Android is a much better (and to me more intuitive) OS. But I love to customize, love the flexibility, and need various features that iOS doesn't have. I don't know what your needs are, but I'm not going back to an iPhone.
[General Questions and Answers] VitoHGrind:
I’m in the exact same boat as you and I was torn between these two phones as well. Technically, I’m torn between the Epic 4G Touch and the i4S on Sprint, but the hardware is very similar. Ultimately, I’ve decided to go with the GS2.

Between the two, the performance right now is basically identical, though benchmarks put the GS2 ahead. Webpage, app, and other load speeds are nearly identical, though I’ve played with an i4S and I will say it is sometimes freakishly fast. Both have voice search/assistant-type features (Apple’s Siri is probably ahead). And camera quality is the same. This PC World comparison shows GS2 slightly ahead of i4S and even beating a standard point-and-shoot in some applications.

The decision for me came down to customization and “future-proofiness” of the phones. Apple has great support for their phones and releases updates like clockwork. Samsung is terrible at releasing official updates (we JUST got official Gingerbread on the OG Epic 4Gs). However, here at XDA there are tons of DIY Devs that release tweaks, updates, mods, and ROMs for Android that help keep you ahead of the curve. In addition, the hardware on the i4s (3.5” display [small], 512mb RAM [low]) may leave you wanting in a year, while the GS2 should keep you through to your next upgrade (faster processor, larger screen, 1gb RAM, expandable memory, etc). Beyond that, ICS just got released and has been confirmed for the GS2 sometime next year. Apple is starting to show discrepancies between their phones with only the i4S getting Siri. What will they cut you out of when the next iteration of the iPhone comes out?

As for your concerns on CAD software and gaming, I think that’s going to be a wash too. Both have AutoCAD WS for example, as well as other CAD programs (quick Googling turns up a lot), so it may just come down to which specific program has everything you want.

Gaming is a point of contention and it may come down to preference. iOS has more developer support than Android (personally, I too prefer Objective C [iOS] over Java[Android]), so there seems to be more and potentially better games on the iPhone, especially casual ones, but there are more free games on Android. Most games are ported to both platforms nowadays so it may not matter soon. Back to my future-proofiness point, with more RAM and a higher clock speed, the GS2 should be able to handle more graphically complex games than the i4S so newer games may work better on the GS2 in the future.

Sorry for the long post, but I went back and forth over this forever so I know what you’re going through. The real decision comes down to which has more of what you like. If you like DIY customization, potential future-proofiness, and the CAD software on Android, go GS2. If you like the constant support and huge app library of iOS, then get an i4S. Most other things will be too close to make a difference.

Also, there’s the exact same question asked here.
[General Questions and Answers] garyprather:
Thank you for your input. This is a hard choice. my brother seems to think that I would be much better off with the 4s but I believe he is more on apples side because he has had every iphone made. He did say that the apps are just a better quality for the iphone. I can not comment on that yet because I have yet to use both devices for any amount of time. I do plan on gaming, and the 4s has a .200 smaller screen than my current phone does but it has i message which will be handy on saving texts. I know that the gs2 is fast and really fast with some of these custom roms I guess it comes down to apps and screen size.
[General Questions and Answers] FOXRacing83:
Android all the way!!! Sure the iPhone is sexy, sleek, slender, and all sorts of other terms involving alliteration, but the main deciding factor for me would be customization...... Are you an avid flasher of custom ROM's? If so this is a no-brainer. My vote is ANDROID, but those 4S's sure are easy on the eyes and they do feel sturdy.....That is all relative when compared to the awesomeness that is the open source market. XDA Developers all the way! I love the freedom of Android and the massive array of great dev's out there who make our phones that much better and provide us with all the goodies that we desire.
[General Questions and Answers] garyprather:
I have never owned a apple device nor a android device. I have a windows mobile device in which i have flashed about 200 roms onto it. I do like tweaking and making it faster with better battery life. I have been sorta stuck in the past with no good games and apps for windows mobile. I have had so many points where my brother shows me a new game and they done make it for windows mobile. I like games like that new modern combat and such. I guess I will have to mess with both units more before making a sure choice.

[General Questions and Answers] themacs:
Think the screen will be a "big" factor... I debated too; the screen was one of the things that won me over. Plus, using CADanything on the little 4S will get old quick.

Galaxy s 2 for gods sake!!
[General Questions and Answers] garyprather:
I have made a decision on what to get. I am going to go with the Samsung galaxy s2. The screen size is winning me over. I do not think I will root it right away. Or should I? Just get the thing running at top notch. My bro is already saying we will have to do a comparison after apple starts making games and apps that their 4s will utilize. We will see . I have never rooted a android device before but many wm roms have been flashed. I will have to read up on it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snott:
Hi everyone, after seeing so much post of bootloader locked for every country I've got some trouble to choose between Galaxy Nexus (16Gb) and Razr, I actually live in France, so sorry for my english btw.

My current phone is a Defy on Cyanogen 7 RC1.5 wich I purely love, and I think it will be difficult to leave cyanogen to motoblur rom on razr if we can't get rid of it :/, on the other side I need a phone with micro SD port to have all my music (30Gb+) with me everywhere, so galaxy nexus 16Gb (32 is not available in France) is not as good as razr for that.

So my simple question is "Will custom rom (Cyanogen!) be soon available on razr and will it be difficult to install them on?"

In advance, sorry if i'm acting like a noob and for my english again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ianford10:
Sorry, but its like asking how long a piece of string is at the minute.

Until a dev can figure it out who knows.

On the plus side the Razr out of the box is pretty damn good :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madmikeuk:
Currently, neither the International RAZR (XT910) or the Verizon Droid RAZR (XT912) ship with an unlocked bootloader, so you won't be seeing any custom ROMs any time soon.

However Motorola have confirmed in a blog post (which I can't link because I don't have enough posts) that they will be shipping a firmware update that unlocks the bootloader "sometime later this year", so you might not be in for too long a wait, carrier permitting.

Long story short - if you need ROMs within a short period of getting your phone, and it's soon, you might want to consider the Galaxy Nexus. If you're willing to wait or your contract doesn't finish until next year, the choice might be more balanced. But the Galaxy Nexus will probably always have the better development community of the two devices.

Thanks for the reply, I think I will give it a try in stores!

Guys my phone's faceplate is damaged...:( one of the corner is scratched , even though its metal.

Please provide a link for the latter :)

Yeah, i have the similar problem but i just use a CASE to hide the SCRATCHES,

I don't understand what you mean, the only metal on the phone is the back where it says "With GOOGLE". The silver side surround is plastic.
[LG Optimus 2x] jazzymc:
It is possible to replace the screen surrounding plate (its plastic with metal effect) without replacing the digitizer? I found that they are offered as s single part.
[LG Optimus 2x] thloh85:
You can, but the bezel is stick to the digitizer using 3M adhensive, and is very hard to remove... (I disassembled the unit before, to replace my LCD and the digitizer, and the frame)
[LG Optimus 2x] mascaras:
Take a look at ebay for replacement
[LG Optimus 2x] raiden-snake:
the plastic metal effect its one with the groilla display they all make the front cover and you need to replace all front cover, a pay for mine 90€ in the lg services because my gorrila display was scrath a the metal plastic too.

OK so I just started receiving LOS's a couple days ago and i'v has the phone since the 14th of October. Any way this morning I decided to try going to the ##3282# menu then I went into EVDO option and just clicked on DDTM. I didn't need to change anything. It some how reset the phone signal but when it does it shows a triangle as if it were roaming. If you go into settings and about phone then status it says not roaming. Well I just tried this and thought I'd share.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
CLICK ON? You mean turn on or turn off. My phone had it on and I would get LOS a bout 3 times a week. I just turned it off to try.

Off means that a phone call can interupt your data connect, correct?

Hi xda-developers, I'm trying to buy my first android phone, LG Optimus One and I need your help!

So far, here's the story, I've been a big follower of android since day one. I've always wanted to buy an android phone, but I tried to resist due to my limitations. But now, I can't take it any longer.

I've tried collecting money as far as I can but I'm still lagging a lot behind my goal. I'm only 14, here in India it is really difficult to get a job or earn money until anyone is at least 18. So far, I've tried as much as I can and collected $42 (parents and relatives).

xda-devs, now I can only rely on you guys for my further help.

How much I already have: $42

How much is my goal: $191

How much more I need: $149

How can you help?

Ask me anything I can do for you, limited online, and pay what you want.

Donate (PM)

I'm really good with computers and I'm learning programming at the moment (python and android development, another reason I want an android phone). So, if you can hook me up with a dedicated job or some freelance work that can get me a good sum of money, I'd appreciate it as well.

It is the cheapest yet the most usable android phone. With a custom ROM, this phone would suffice for me.

Update

Hello again

I just wanted to give an update on the situation since i noticed this post is linked from the Zoe Rom thread.

Two days ago i bought a new battery, an unbranded one (cost me 15€ here in Portugal). The shop had a legit LG battery for 37.50€ but i tought it wasnt worth the money. This battery has the same specs as the original, except it is 1300mAh compared to the 1500mAh of the original.

I dont have any battery related problem any more. Yesterday i woke up (100% battery), unplugged the phone, let the wireless on all morning, listened to 2-3 hours worth of tunes, browsed the web a bit, tested some messaging apps etc. Today i woke up, didnt charge during the night, and im sitting on 45% battery. Wish i had gotten a new battery sooner lol

With my old battery the phone wouldnt shutdown. It would always automatically restart. I had no ideia a malfunctioning battery could cause this.
