Guy, this is a canned answer you can give to everyone and it is just IMPRACTICAL! Virtually ANY QUESTION being asked on the forums can be found answered SOMEWHERE. To tell the users to not ask but to search and search to find their answer discounts the human factor. There are PEOPLE here, the forum is NOT just some robot that you have to correctly type a syntax into to get it to respond the correct way. People exacting such from others, especially from noobs are BULLIES. Thankfully XDA has started really cracking down on this but this rant was created prior to the enforcement against such bullies. As mentioned BEFORE!!! I have seached, found threads where people are asking the question I am, and all they get back is "USE SEARCH THIS HAS BEEN ANSWERED!!!!". Finding many more threads like that rather than useful ones. Also NO ONE should be afraid of getting FLAMED, rather people should be afraid of FLAMING!!! And thankfully with the new enforcements I think that is becoming or has become closer to the norm. People need to be friendly and inviting, not critical of newcomers who not only need help with their phones but learning how to use the forums. They should be ENCOURAGED to use the search as a means of finding the answer QUICKLY, (some answers are not found quickly even using search), rather than criticized for asking a question. Only RECENTLY have the rules CHANGED stating specifically that any new threads in the DEV sections have to be ROMs, etc. no question threads. However this was a very recent change and prior to this there was NO SUCH RULE yet people would get flamed for posting threads against which no rules existed while the flaming gained momentum. Again, thankfully this is not going to be tolerated by XDA like it used to be.
[About XDA developers] petermg:
I understand that. However two things, 1. regardless we shouldn't flame those people, they are in a stressful enough situation that THEY put themselves in, we don't need to rub their face in it by shaming them. and 2. Every time I've experienced flames for asking a question I had ALREADY done extensive searching and reading. I don't like asking for help and PREFER to read and use the search so I'm humbling myself by exposing my ignorance when I ask a question. It really seems like there are low-self-esteem bullies that troll these forums. No one should have to post a disclaimer saying "YES I USED THE SEARCH AND READ FOR 3 HOURS AND COULD STILL NOT FIND THE ANSWER PLEASE DON'T FLAME ME FOR WHAT I'M ABOUT TO ASK!!".
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
Considering the fact that it's been a full year since this topic was alive, I think it's time you go ahead and drop this.

The first rule of being on this site is that you are required to search FIRST (See, I can use caps too.). Asking questions in the dev fora was never allowed in the first place. There are "Questions & Answers" fora for that exact reason. Common sense should prevail in that situation anyway.

The bottom line for all this back and forth is that this is NOT and never will be a support forum. It's a developers forum, meant for development. That's why it's called xda-developers.com and not xda-babysittingservice.com. Search first and try to help yourself, or don't be surprised when someone else doesn't want to help you or gets frustrated with your entitled attitude. We help those who help themselves.

As was mentioned before, I will, personally (and have several times), stay up until all hours of the night helping someone fix a problem if they put forth the effort to try and do it on their own. They just need to search for their answer, try as much as they can, and then post details about what their issue is and what they did to fix it.

If you just make a post saying "halp, my fone bricked!!! What I do??!!" then you're not going to get any help.

One the other hand, if you make a detailed post about what you were doing before it bricked, how you tried to fix it, and list a few things that came up in a search, then I would bet anything that most of that device forum would be all over your thread trying to help you out.

It's all about showing respect for others. If you don't do any work on your own, then you're just saying to everyone else that your time means more than theirs. Is that really fair to them?

In summary, post in the proper sections, do as much troubleshooting on your own as possible, and give as much information on what you did as you can. Do that, and people will line up in your thread to not only thank you for providing the information, but to help you out or direct you towards the correct answer.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Why would you not want to list what searches you've done? If you list what you've already tried, it will keep those same things from being suggested or searched for again. The more information you give, the better your help will be. Less information gets less help.
[About XDA developers] petermg:
You think it's time I drop this? You responded aptly! I guess I must miss these posts from "noobs" that "clutter up the forums". The worst I can remember seeing are thread titles like "HELP!!!", and I usually never click on those because I don't expect there to be much more specific information in the thread than there is in it's title. Maybe these are the types being referred to here but seems a bit of an effort in flaming to go into a post like that then unload on the user. Oh and is there a rule that says I can't post in a thread I started after so long? You're not the boss of me. LOL!

This topic has been beaten to death. There's no point continuing the discussion any longer. You've already explained how you feel about it, and others have explained to you why you're mistaken. You're obviously welcome to continue posting in here, but it is, as mentioned, pointless now.

Agreed. This topic is over and has been beaten to death already. A click on my banner will answer any other questions about this.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pulverizer:
My brother lived in usa.

He have att plan but he also interest sprint network.

And he has a samsung epic 4g.

But he want epic to use 3g(evdo) only plan(not 4g,only 3g want)

Is it possible?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Freeroot:
Well, sprint is a bit of a pain when it comes to altering their plans. Basically, if he gets a plan with sprint, he will probably have to sign up for the 4g plan. It sucks cause so little of the USA is covered with 4g. I've heard of people flashing to different carriers, this may be a possibility for him as they'll probably be less expensive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pulverizer:
Thanks for your information.Freeroot. ;)
[Xperia Play Android Development] arihellmichimich:
sorry for double post, but i think it rather belongs in here, plz delete thread if not so...

I installed Toggle 2g on cm7 rom, and it worked pretty well, switching to 2g mode after 5/10/30..mins of standby. Great app in my opinion that prolongs the batterylife very good. It uses Injection. Now i got back to stock rom and wanted to ask, if someone could make a version working on stock. There is some instructions on the thread, but i didnt have success, because i dont have a zip of the 0.62 stock rom for CWM, only the ftf file for Flashtool.

[Xperia Play Android Development] arihellmichimich:

[Xperia Play Android Development] ps3taker:
I'm intersted. I think 2g only mode is disabled ion the Three network in the UK so I would like to know how it works and if at all on this network
[Xperia Play Android Development] arihellmichimich:
As far as i know, 2g (for second generation) is just the old standard internet connection, supported everywhere in the world and sucking less energy out of the battery. In a gsm phone 2g is gsm and 3g is umts/hsdpa, donno how it is on a cdma cellphone...
[Xperia Play Android Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
This would save me a ton of battery at work
[Xperia Play Android Development] arihellmichimich:
I tried resigning our phone apks to make the programm work without success.

Anyways im now using superpower again.

Old xda programm, but it works, though its not as smooth as toggle2g because it shuts down connection and afterwards switches to 2g /3g.
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
I'm using Data on demand which sounds like it does something similar to what you're looking for. Its free on the market and can be set to turn off data with screen off or turn data off as per a set schedule. I've been using it for a few months now

Tom
[Xperia Play Android Development] arihellmichimich:
no, data on demand totally switches off data connection, so that you cannot receive emails or chat messages as long as the display is off. toggle 2g just switches the band to a lower signal, so that the speed is lower and the power consumption goes down as well, but the speed is still high enough to receive mails, facebook stuff, twitter, weather... and when you switch your screen back on, you get back the full power of 3g :-)
[Xperia Play Android Development] tommoose:
In that case it sounds like what you've found would be better for me too as as you say, data on demand doesnt allow even mms when screen off

When i restore my contacts to my new ICS rom they are there fine but upon reboot only 2 show up. I tried this on 2 different roms and upon reboot they are gone and restoring them again via sprite backup brings them back but gone again on reboot.

Messages and call logs are fine though. Its just contacts and seems to be only with ICS.

Hi Guys,

I have downloaded Real Racing 2 from the Android Market. I have downloaded it 100% and now when I run it the game starts and goes on for a few seconds and then it Freezes and then it Exits on its own. I have rebooted, restarted the device quite a few times it has not helped. I am running the version 1.11.02 000314. What do I do ?

is there any way I can get a Crash Report for it?

Thanks

I flashed stable 5.1 and tytung 14 (first I had flashed Dorimax but because of some problems turned to Tytung 14)

now I have weird problem.Sometimes touch screen freezes and don't respond to any touch but HW keys work.I have to press end call key twice to turn off and on the screen and after that there is no problem.It happens to me about 5 times a day and I'm clueless about when and why it happens.

also,I've recently replaced the touch and LCD

so,I don't know if problem is because of new touch and LCD or this ROM

any one else confirm this problem?

what can I do?

[HTC EVO 3D] westside_cook:
First off i apologize if this is in the wrong section, so please move if needed mods. Well i have a problem connecting to wifi. Not just any old wifi, particularly my school wifi. I have come to figure out that for the life of me i cannot connect to my schools wifi whenever i run any sense based rom on my 3vo. I also couldn't connect to my schools wifi with my hero with any sense based rom as well. It seems like the problem is sense then because i have no problem connecting when i run aosp or cyanogen. When i connect with an aosp rom all i have to do is input the username/identity and password, 3 seconds later im connected. With any sense based roms i get it detects the signal but automatically prompts me for the password, no other option. Networking is not my forte but if i recall the security that my school uses is wpa enterprise peap or something along those lines. Now i know some of you may say just run an aosp rom but sometimes i need full functionality and i cant swap on the fly (hboot 1.5 htc unlock method)Any help would be greatly appreciated because i hate not having any network access at school. Thanks in advance

PS. ive tried adding manually but still no help, ive also tried that wifi configurator app to see if it could help but alas... Zilch!
[HTC EVO 3D] SeptimiuB:
first of all let me ask you if your friends have htc phones and if any of them runs in the same problem if using a sense rom. it's pretty strange. try wifi manager from market maybe u get lucky https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsIm9yZy5rbWFuLldpZmlNYW5hZ2VyIl0.
[HTC EVO 3D] westside_cook:
Yeah a few friends of mine have HTC phones none of us can connect, they all run stock roms too, no root for them. We all get the same prompt for password without being able to enter username and password. I'll try out this manager though and see how what happens

Thanks

I just recently rooted my HTC Legend from HBOOT 1.01 Android 2.2 Build 3.15 (Release keys).

Now I'm on Android 2.1 Build 1.31 and i'm trying to use ROM Manager to download Clockwork Recovery so i can install CyanogenMod but when i try and download Clockwork Recovery i get a SU Request Permission but the screen is blank (Black) with top left being grey and "SU Request Permission".

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Also When i go to SuperUser Permissions the screen is also plain blank.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sokre988:
I´ve noticed a few bugs, problems in this new version of ICS. If anyone knows how to solve them I would appreciate your advice :)

So, here is what´s bugging me:

1. Screen sometimes go greenish for a second or two when there is a lot of apps running and when I quickly turn off and turn on the screen (it happens when the screen goes on, that moment)

2. Overclocking seems very unstable!! ..when I OC my phone (with NStools) and do some things..after a while, it freezes and reboots. On RC3.1 version I could overclock to 1.46GHz and play games and it was very stable!

(I think they changed voltage and because of that it´s unstable, but I´m not sure)

3. When system reboots (after crash), it reboots in clock work mode -.-" ..why can´t it reboot normally, into system?

4. It´s not really a problem but, does anyone know how to remove unnecessary home screens or add them back? Is it possible? :)

5. .apk files can´t be sent trough bluetooth :( .. (message: This Bluetooth device or computer cannot process files of this type. )

Other than that I would say this version is almost perfect, flash works in browser, effects in camera, USB mass storage ..works very well.

I was on Doc´s ICS teamhackungs based rom before this one (and after RC3.1 )..and I noticed that battery life was terrible even with juice saver apps running.

I hope this one is better. :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricarducho:
Actually RC4 has been pulled because of a Wifi issue

I flashed it last night before it was pulled, I flashed over Onecosmics 2.11 no wipe, and my wifi its working normal.

Mine does it too

no OC here

No crashes yet

I don't think it is possible since it is ASOP rom

I will try that later.

It is a great rom, I hope they can fix those minor issues.

Battery life for me has been just OK on 2.11, I have to give RC4 the 3 charge cycles before any judgement.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giuku:
I've just noticed that battery life was reduced constantly in last 3 days, now battery doesn't last 12 hours, but it's the first time that happens!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fylim:
Battery degradation due to age ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sokre988:
Yes, so did I ..just before they pulled I downloaded the rom...I was on Doc´s ICS..but I flashed with Odin JVT 2.3.5. GB ..rooted with CF-root and then in CWM flashed RC4 ..my wi-fi was having problems but when I updated WiFix manager it was ok then.

Yea, I couldn´t agree more, if they fix those issues it could be it..the final version (without any bugs). Lets hope they do it soon so we don´t have to wait too long :)

btw. I was thinking, could we solve these or at least some this issues by flashing another kernel??

@Giuku :I´ve noticed that too..even though I´m not OC now it still drains a lot..or my battery become weak (It´s 1year old) . But that is not without a reason..I did put her to her limits (and my phone) by playing games so much that my smartphone reached max temperature of 60°C :eek::o and then cooling it in 1min to 30°C and less.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] babalonius508:
I've done some research but can't seem to find a general consensus. Is there really any significance in benchmark applications? There is too much variation in the results given by each application comparing the same devices.

I score higher than any other phone in Antutu yet I bomb out when compared to the SAME phones in Smartbench and Quadrant.

Which benchmark application if any has proven most consistent in providing accurate performance results of top phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wali01x:
antutu is the most accurate compare to others but yet for me benchmarks don't mean tw*t ..cause a phone is good as how you use it but silly benchmark results don't make a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SKyRocKeting727:
Wali makes a good point. Benchmarks are to see the phones capability, depending on which rom and kernal is being ran. Benchmarks have no affects on real life daily usage, not huge differences anyway.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dkbrz:
Hi everybody,

I have migrated from Galaxy Note to Galaxy S II today and want to share my feeling about it with you because you are my best friends and everybody says I have no life.

I had Note for about two months and what I can say? It's slowest phone I've ever had. Tried EVERYTHING:

Stock ROM's: KKA, KL3, KL7, KL8, LA2, LA3, LA4. Tried even that buggy CM9 build.

I know what you will say - GINGERBREAD does not use ALL GALAXY HARDWARE, so we should wait for ICS.

But don't forget that S II has

same hardware

. So why GB flies so awesome on S II? I think I know why: lower resolution.

So if my theory is right - Note will never by fast. If you have another theory about slowness - you can share with all of us :)

Here are some more things which I hate in my note:

Display had issues. Right display side had a strange red tint.

Vertical line in the center. Especially noticeable in the bright colors.

Home button is very poor quality.

Volume buttons are too easy to press by accident.

Resolution is nice, but not practical. Many applications don't know how to "handle" such a resolution. Such a big display is best for web, videos, games - but personally I did'nt found it useful for anything more.

S-pen is nice - but don't you feel it's very laggy?

KEYBOARD IS VERY SLOW. Also tried keyboards from market - did'nt help. Slow keyboard gives very inaccurate typing for me.

Scrolling is very laggy (for example in gmail) ? Never saw this in S II. Even with stock ROM full of bloatware.

No gorila glass screen

Touchscreen becomes very unresponsive while phone is charging!!! (never noticed it with galaxy sII with same charger or usb cable)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
wow, from the various issues you mentionned it is clearly evident you had a Defective Note.......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
I sold my SII when I realised that the size of the Note wasn't a barrier to it being my daily driver.

In *every* respect, I find my Note to be superior to my SII, and certainly haven't experienced most of the issues you've listed - certainly my Note is at least as fast as my SII ever was.

One particular issue I'd like to pick up on though:

This may well be true, but I'd never know because my Note has always had the flip cover, and this makes it pretty much impossible to press the volume buttons by accident.

Enjoy your SII, it's a great phone, but for me Note > SII any day of the week! :)

Regards,

Dave

I shifted from HD7 (Windows Mango) to GNote a day back and this was my first android.. of course you had a buggy defected note for sure but what bothers me a lot is i kinda feel Windows phone is a lot lot better at performance and only thing that brought me to android was lack of apps but what the hell finding good apps here is even difficult than Windows because at least it had an awesome market place the stock market place felt me like "WTF did i do!!!"

There are many things i liked but there are many i didnt too but i am gonna stick to it till ICS then lets see..

Same story here. I sold my SGS II and got the note yesterday and I like it. Although this thing needs a bit to get used to due to the larger size. I miss my SGS II for sentimental reasons. It was just a perfect device so Enjoy the SGS II.

The deal for me to get the note was to good to pass up so I made the swap. I agree that the hardware is so similar to the SGS II but does feel a bit laggy, but consider that the NOTE also runs a lot of User Experience apps on top to make sure that the NOTE functions like a NOTE.

Custom roms are the trick to get the smooth performance if you desire.

Its still a young device, lets see how it grows up. Hopefully we will get some good development (not to say that there isnt good dev now) to see it truly take shape to be a monster.
