[Off-topic] v5HMeca:
I remember when noobs were encouraged to read and not post, when posts in development threads would be deleted if they weren't conducive to development. No cluttering threads with "thanks" or feedback regarding personal preferences.

It was because of this that I didn't join XDA for quite some time (I'm by no means a mobile developer, to be clear). The entire time that I had my T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur), I avoided registering because it was very clear to me that this place was just for developers. 2007 was a big year for XDA, which might be where things start to change. XDA made it into the news and tech blogs when the community bumped heads with Microsoft. A lot of noobs joined as a result. I was one of the many noobs that joined that year, now with my T-Mobile Wing (HTC Herald). While being a noob became more acceptable, this place was still for the developers. Noob bashing was encouraged as long as it was done with a smile. But with the sheer number of smart phones that have come out, this place has been flooded with new members looking to tinker with their devices. XDA has embraced these new members, and now the developers don't call us noobs anymore. They call us users.

This isn't a bad thing. It's just an observation I had. Made me get all nostalgic. Definitely been a major shift over the years.

And of course immediately after posting this, I see that there is an "Off Topic" forum. How appropriate for me to put this thread in the wrong forum.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actinogen:
Basically...I don't know if this is a reported bug or what. What is happening is that my phone will sound like its making a ringtone when someone calls me (with CM7 stable release). I have also tried ICS from sbrissen, this rom makes the same sound, but doesn't appear for me to have to be in a phone conversation for it to happen. Has anyone ever had their phone make funny noises like a call is coming through that isn't your ringtone, when someone calls you?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baderkadonk:
Yes, I have had this issue since CM7 and MIUI first dropped.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xactnode:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
That's the "phantom ring" bug and it affects all MTD roms to my knowledge. I wouldn't get your hopes up for a fix, I seem to remember reading something about how it can't really be fixed without proprietary drivers (I think) from Samsung.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Firstly, what's oclf? I'm not quite sure what that is. The official update guide from Samsung recommends removing root before installation, at least if I recall correctly. You can read it to make sure. But I know many have installed it while rooted and with no problems. It's basically depending on how comfortable you are

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrocketeer:
SOLVED!

My device is completely stock, I only rooted the skyrocket.:p

I really wanted to have the fancy rotation animation for whenever you change the orientation of the phone. To do that, the instructions were to replace two (.so) files in

/system/lib

with two provided from the OP in the thread. When I used ES File Explorer to replace the files, right when I pasted the files the device froze. Naturally I tried soft rebooting and that worked fine. What didn't work fine was trying to get my device to boot back up...:(

When I press the power button to turn the device on, the first splash screen with the non-glowing Samsung logo showed up normally. My phone then gets stuck on the glowing Samsung logo. It never reaches the rethink possible At&t boot animation. So I thought, a factory reset should do the trick.:eek:

I went into the recovery menu and factory reset the phone/ deleted all user data. I tried booting the phone again and it still gets stuck at the glowing Samsung logo.:(

Help? Do I need to send the device in? Am I covered by the warranty? (I bought it in early December 2011):confused:

My defy's capacitive buttons works fine. But 2 of them simply doesn't have a backlight.

I tried to change my rom (From MIUI to WakjUI) with no sucess. I guess the lights are somehow broken... But that's "fine", not big deal.

Deal is... They are ugly the way they are ordered. Only the Menu and the search buttons have backlight. The home and back buttons don't. I tried to use RootDim to disable all button's backlight, but whenever I lock the screen, their backlightlight just get back to normal.

Any sugestions? Any alternative would be accepted, and i really like the idea of dimming those backlights.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
They're just .pngs in an apk (think it's systemui.apk). UOTKitchen also has several versions to choose from, though I haven't tried it with the galaxy nexus...so I'm not sure if it's updated for ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I too hated the emoticons. Handcent has the option to use "Handcent emoticons" (not emoji) instead and they are much better.

I reccommend GO SMS simply for the various customizations, emoji plugin, and the notification pop-up.

Not as such...

I haven't found any comprhensive listing of ICS ROMS + supported devices.

Your best bet is to start from your device and find which ROM's (if any) are out for it. Some devices may never get support, some already have it, some are in between.

Much as I love Cyanogenmod, I can't get a functional CM9 (that is, ICS by Cyanogen) that will work on my Nexus S 4G. But I did find a list of ROM's for Nexus S 4G and by elimination found one that works flawlessly.

[How To:] Step-by-Step Process to Activate Int'l Note on ATT GoPhone w/HSPA+ & MMS

I Figured I would make a special post for this process. Most of this info is available either here on XDA or elsewhere, but I've yet to find it all in one place in a simple and concise format. So here you go.

I successfully activated my unlocked Note yesterday and have experienced no problems with anything since. I was on a month-to-month contract with Verizon, so porting information is included.

Step-by-step process

-copied down my note's IMEI (on the sticker behind battery).

-grabbed my verizon account info (necessary for number port authorization)

-went to local att wireless store. told them i wanted to port my verizon number to a new gophone account. csr lady asked me what kind of of phone it was and if it was a smartphone. i replied "i don't know the model" and "no", respectively. they may ask you if you have the phone, just tell them you don't have it with you but want to get it set up in advance.

-csr grabbed a new sim card (cost me nothing), entered my verizon account info (ie, account number/billing address/number i'm porting) and entered the IMEI i provided.

-account set up!

-purchased a $50 unlimited gophone card and left the store with my sim card and some paperwork.

-at home i installed the sim card and activated the gophone card using instructions on the back.

-got a text from att that there was a problem with the number porting, asked me to go to att.com/port. there i entered my phone # and was notified that i needed to enter my verizon billing password to finalize the port. i did so, refreshed the port status and saw that it was successful.

-attempted phone call with my note- success!

-entered the 1st set of APN settings found at the start of the this thread. these didn't work. still had voice signal but no data.

-tried the 2nd set of APN settings. Success! Data working/MMS tested and working both ways.

-Disabled Fast Dormancy, per Jade Eyed Wolf's instructions (same thread).

-Tested data speeds with speedtest.net app: 2.36mb up/1.2mb down.

I'm now rocking unlimited voice/text/data at adequate speeds for my needs for $50 off contract. Not as fast as verizon's LTE, but I wasn't blown away by that anyway....

Hope this helps someone!
