[About XDA developers] skatin707:
I'm sure this has been posted dozens of times, but a little thanks is never wasted in my opinion.

Thank you, creators of XDA, for giving me a place to ask for help and share my knowledge with fellow android enthusiasts.

Thank you, creators of XDA, for giving us a HUGE allotment for PMs in our inbox. Such forums as PBnation and NASIOC make you pay for extra inbox space. PBnation goes from 100 to 300 for $15/yr and NASIOC charges you $20 (I think) for 60 PMs (total crap) to increase to 400.

Thank you, mods, for doing what irritates the rest of us. Filtering through crap to keep this place civil. I've been a mod on many forums and there are many thanks due. Sure, half the time we "hate" you, but deep down we really don't (at least I don't). :p

Thank you, donators, for keeping this forum running. We are incredibly fortunate to have XDA and I feel the Android sales would decrease without this forum. "Well that's a stupid thought!" you might say, but here is my theory. Whenever I want to buy something, I research the crap out of it. What can it do, how can I modify it, what makes it tick, what are my options with x, can I change y, does this do that, can that do this, so on and so forth. If I can't find that information, I don't buy the product. I guarantee you XDA is one of the BEST, if not the greatest, sources of information for Android devices. I found all the information I needed to buy a captivate (broke my Apple addiction), atrix, inspire, infuse, and soon SGS2 all here on XDA. My mother and father do the same, all here on XDA. To me, that is tangible proof this forum pushes the Android revolution!

Thank you, you wonderful developers, for keeping the Android revolution moving. Truly, we all owe a great debt to you. Many of you work long hours for no money, AND THEN GO TO WORK! You do this for us, you do this for the "revolution", you do this because you are brilliant individuals. I've gotten the opportunity to meet some brilliant individuals in various sections of this forum, atrix, inspire, and infuse. Folks like boostnsubaru (who ports my beloved MIUI when he is allowed to :o), N0ctrnl, dman3285, and MANY more have shared their expertise, as well as mistakes, and helped me become a more productive user. I'm now making my own mistakes, but now I can fix most of them! Why? Because these kind folks donate their time to help us. There is a forum out there, mainly for console game hacking, that literally hates people seeking knowledge and trying to learn. It is despicable to ask for help, and all you receive is useless insults. I'm sure some of you know the forum, I wont share the name. I mention this because XDA is quite the opposite, newcomers are treated (for the most part) with kindness and it is fantastic.

Thank you for reading this. I know its lengthy, and somewhat stupid, but I felt it necessary to post my thoughts. I give thanks during the holiday season for my new friends on XDA. Thank you all and merry Christmas! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosemerry:
Hello guys, my model is samsung GT-I9000M from canada.

the firmware version is 2.3.3, build number: GINGERBREAD.GKG3. baseband version: I9000UKG3.

i want to unlock the network.

i cant root the phone. superOneClick seems not working on 2.3.3 yet. busybox is found in market. i've read many threads and tried many approaches working on I9000, however, it's just not working on this model.

pls give me some hints how to figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosemerry:
Geeze. I think I screwed up. Here is the issue:

when i first time connected to the odin, two more COM box turned yellow.(so in total was three) I think I might disconnect it in the middle, i got a FAIL. and my phone kept rebooting, showing one GT-I9000M, and then GT-I9000 logo.

But then when i connect it again, it only shows two yellow box in total, including the default one at startup. then i run the PDA, it always shows success 1/fail 1. it still kept rebooting.

Then i tried the kg3 backup in the link "in case sheet! happens", I finally got my interface back. However it still showed "success 1/fail 1" in the process.

Another thing i'm not sure is i didn't do this part :

PIT = 512

PDA = CODE_I9000XXJVP_CL264642_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.m d5

CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVP.tar.md5

all i did is

"PDA the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVP-v3.7-CWM3RFS.tar"

i'm so frustrated now, Could you help me fix it? thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Rose:
I'm not sure why you are getting the other yellow COM boxes.

Do you have any other devices plugged into your USB ports that ODIN might find?

Did you just want to root your KG3 2.3.3 so you could run the unlock program?

If so, just grab the KG3 rooted kernel from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16589476&postcount=183

and flash that as PDA.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosemerry:
yes. it works. thank you sooo much.

i just want to show you this:

this is what i get rooted finally through your link. two yellow boxes. there were three at first. no other device plugged in, i even pulled the mouse to check. and you can see still one fail in the message.

the only problem now is i could just open one disk on the computer when i turn on the USB mass storage. suppose could open both of them earlier. The one with the system files i can't open, the mounted sdcard is fine. i'm not sure if it's related.

I remember hearing a while back that one of Google's goals when designing 4.0 would be to make it compatible with all Android devices. I'm not sure if they meant all of them that ever was, or if they just meant both recent smartphones and recent tablets...

I'm starting to suspect that it's probably the later since even the higher-end devices seem like they will be forced to wait a long time before they get ICS. Still, I'd like to remain hopeful, is there any indications that the Wildfires will get ICS?
[HTC Wildfire S] buber82:

IMO We won't get it, little bit crappy specs.

[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
Im not sure if there already is one, but I think we need a sticky with all of the kernels and a description of each. I just checked the Dev thread and didnt see anything there, or in the themes or general thread. I thought I saw a Vibrant bible somewhere but I cant seem to find that at the moment either.

Here is the bible but for some reason it isn't stickied anymore in the Dev section. Wonder why other than OP isn't maintaining it.

Edit::Rider you beat me by 1min but we have two different Bibles. Haha, guess that is a microcosm of how the world works, eh?
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
lol i couldn't find it stickied either so i went into http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876779

you have the right one i think ha
[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
It doesn't list all the kernels with a description tho, any of you fellas knowledgeable enough to Getty something going?

[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
...OH GOD.
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
What?... Are you thinking negatively again xriderx66?
[Vibrant General] Woody:
I was thinking about putting one together too but kernel-wise there hasn't been to much new other than ICS (Eugene's...) and 99problemz. Be nice to have them all in one place but not much development on many.
[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
Looks like Bali has atleast 3 and I know I saw atleast another 3 listed, I may look into doing this myself, hey NOOB what is your idea lol?
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Lol. I was actually thinking of perhaps making this Kernel Sticky. Today would be good day to start too as I have a good amount of free time. Something else I've been thinking of is making a new version of the Vibrant Bible that could have a more detailed kernel section... Since the other two Bibles are both not maintained and even became unstickied. But I don't know. What do you think? Should I look into making a newer Vibrant Bible or a Kernel Sticky?
[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
Yes this is a great idea, let me know if you need help. Especially with the bible there are probably 20+ ROMS that are not even on that bible, maybe you can list the issues wth each particular ROM in the bible as well, this would help direct NOOBS even better!
[Vibrant General] N00B_IN_N33D:
Sounds good. However, before I begin to put it together I feel it would only be the right thing to contact the original Vibrant Bible creator and ask permission to develop a new, more detailed Bible, with an updated list of kernels and roms.
[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
I think thats a great idea as well, maybe you could just type something up and submit it him//her and see if they want to add it to the bible?
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Why don't you guys look over the Wiki and update that instead. That way we are not at the mercy of the moderators to make things sticky. And we can update it as we go. I tried keeping it up a while back but it is a daunting task without the support of the developers to help keep their part updated.

Potentially flawed survey pool

Before you ask the question about male to female Note ownership ratio, you need to know the ratio of subscribers to this discussion group.

I know this sounds very anal but I suspect that there is a significantly larger male membership than female which skews your data.

If you knew this you could potentially extrapolate from there but even that's a stretch.

I just saw someone at a Barnes and Noble today who had the AT&T GS2. I asked her how she liked it, and she was very pleased with it. She said that she mainly got it for the screen, both for the amzingness that Samsung's SAMOLED is, and for the size (yep, it matters!). I said, well if it's screen size you're after, take a look at this then! Showed her my Note, and her reaction was, "Wow!! That's beautiful!! Where can I get one of those?" I told her that I got mine on Amazon. And I proceeded to explain why it's better in the long run to buy unlocked devices, even though they're more expensive up front. I also explained how if you sell the device in about a year, and take good care of it, you can usually sell it for about $200 less than what you bought it, which is about what you'd have spent on a subsidized device anyway. Then I showed her my s-pen, and she about dropped her jaw, "That's perfect for me!!! You're a really good salesperson!!"

I should work for Samsung! lol

A male who characterizes a female as "only liking handbags" could be considered a "male chauvanist", or "chauvanist pig" or "pig" for short, in the United States.

I realize that this forum is not for that type of discussion, and I was not trying to troll or flame. That comment just made me a little angry.

Give samsung more time to produce white notes. Most of the women I know prefer any other color to black on their mobile devices. My sister waited to get an iphone 4 until the white one came out to replace her burgandy blackjack 2, my mother has had blue, red, yellow, and purple mobiles. My cousin's wife got a white iphone when they first came out. Her mom is an exception and cares more about the tech underneath than the color, and she now owns a bionic.

Not that I think guys are that much different...I go out of my way to make sure all of my devices are black.

Also I believe the impersonal nature of web forums is probably not the best way to achieve a true cross-section of note owners.
