I have no idea about your problem but uninstalling setcpu might help or just flash a new kernel

A noob here :p

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] music.soul:
Well ... Might be the Script problem ... re-flash a new Script ... or reflash a new rom

that would solve ur problem ...

Yea the kernel reflash might workk
[Nook Touch Accessories] miguelinx:
Hello everyone,

I just received a NST ebook reader (It was a present from a friend who went to the US) and I'd like to buy a nice leather cover and a screen protector.

I live in Spain and it seems that I can't buy neither one of them in amazon.com because they don't ship these products to EU (or at least the products I have tried).

Do you know any site where I can buy covers or screen protectors and they can ship to the EU (Spain in this case?). I've checked ebay but they don't have too much stuff for the NST.

Thanks everyone!

Miguel.
[Nook Touch Accessories] viouviou:
Concerning the screen protector, any 6 inches screen protector and they are available on amazon.fr so it should be good in Spain. If you can't find a 6 inches protector, you can always buy a 10 inches protector for tablet and cut it.

And I also found nook cover on amazon.fr ( Cover-Up étui housse en cuir pour Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch Reader (style livre) - Rouge ).

Did you try on ebay ?
[Nook Touch Accessories] miguelinx:
Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I've tried on ebay but I didn't find anything that I like.

I'll try out on amazom.fr as you said. Thanks for the transcription in French.

Cheers!
[Nook Touch Accessories] viouviou:
If you prefer to search in English, you can also try amazon.co.uk
[Nook Touch Accessories] miguelinx:
Yes, I think I will do that, cause it seems that there is not anything closer to Spain...

Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leethedon1:
Hello, i have just had the 2.3.5 update with 3.0 sense and i wish to go back to what i had previously.

This was 2.3.3 i believe. I was up to date before receiving the above update.

I have an ORANGE branded device with all security in place. I don't wish to de-brand or s-off etc... I'm hoping that i can simply download a .exe file of the older ROM and install, overwrite, then smile.

Will it be that simple? I've looked high and low for Genuine Orange roms but can not find any. Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TransientMotion:
Unfortunately you will have to root and s-off your phone, then install the earlier rom, then un-root and s-on your phone. I might be wrong but look for the wwe version of the orange rom
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leethedon1:
I could not just install the older genuine rom over the newer genuine rom? :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TransientMotion:
No, only updates can be applied as far as I know. It doesn't take long to root and s-off tho, then you can out your older rom on

Hi Guys,

I am opening this thread for discussion on the ever growing problem of some users in this forum breaking the warez rules here on Xda.

My warning here seems to be doing no good as there has been now many users banned or perm banned and totally ignoring it, although more the fool them for risking it.

So, if any of you want to contribute to a discussion on this then i am all ears also if you have been banned or infracted then give your views on why you did it as i would like to know why you did it?

Look forward to your replies guys and your thoughts on this topic.:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] adityam533:
right

every 1 has right to post either question or any devlopment.... .i too ignore spam a
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
Hi Buddy,

I feel you have mis-understood my post??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] abizerl123:
i had posted a link for a member who wanted help in qvga games

xda forums is der to help and discuss issues and also solve them

and then u get banned for it??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] adityam533:
hmmm I misunderstood it.........
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
Maybe you have a problem understanding what Warez is then as i have looked at your proflile and you have 2 infractions against your name. One was for asking for somebody to upload you a paid app and the other for posting a link where you could download paid games for free.

Please read the warez rule and tell me which part you do not understand??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
Do all device specific forums have just a single moderator?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
No, high traffic forums have 2 but all forums across the board are looked over by senior moderators from time to time and they are always at hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] zcop:
can we evading the rule by Google "abcxyz mediafire" . I dont blame mediafire but the trust is mediafire have alot of paid apk:confused: :D

Or sent though private ms

Or just say "Go and buy it"
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
I guess, Private Messaging is fine and nothing beats telling them to buy it...

@colussus

Please clarify the google bit?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
Just say "go and buy it" it is as simple as that, suggesting ways of finding it falls in the rules.

What nobody has explained to me is why this forum is far worse than any other i cover?

I get no joy in banning users, mostly all of us are here for the love tech and i am no different to you. Banning somebody for breaking this rule is dis-heartening as it can easily be prevented but i am confused why so many ignore the rules and warnings??

One guy yesterday started a thread here breaking the warez rules, he had already been infracted for this previously, i closed it and infracted him and his response was to start opening more and more so in the end got a months ban. How pointless was that??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] zcop:
- May be create an account is too easy so people dont care about rule :(

- trying to sabotage XDA :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
Just go over these suggestions please.

- maybe you could add some filters that will prevent people with less than say 10 posts from posting a URL?

- Maybe the first 10 posts need to be approved by a moderator?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
Any ideas are welcome buddy and thankyou for your input. Your 10 posts before being allowed to posts a URL seems a good idea and i will check that out with admin.;)

Do you guys think the Warez rule no 6 wants making clearer, do you think that maybe this is a problem for some or do you think the ones who keep breaking it just do not care??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
Yes, there will always be users who join just to cause havoc, i think you will find that in most forums but they soon show on our radar and are given the boot very quickly.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
yes, it could be a little clearer.....

i was infracted for just mentioning about a warez software (no link or anything else whatsoever)....but i hadnt read the rules earlier so i kinda deserved that for ignorance....

after i read the rules, it says that "do not post warez"....instead it could be a little more wide...

like "do not ask for warez, nor help any one with warez...if you see a thread/post which contains direct download link for a software/game/app which requires you to pay/buy it for its use, then please report it"

^^just my suggestion...making them a little more clearer should help....
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] abizerl123:
btw what are the infraction points u need for a temp ban and a permanent ban?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
afaik 15 points means a temp ban if you're a senior member.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] martin_s5670:
I think also, no 6 could be clearer and in its effect "stronger". To say, "We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained." without an effect, which has very often no direct reaction, is too weak. For example, Aspire's suggestions should have regarded to.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Mr.Oug:
Ah well first of all thanks for making thus topic. To answer your question well the people that come to this specific forum are in the age of 14 to 18 and are mainly noobs who have no idea about what rules are I have also moderated one of the big communities in orkut and I now what its like to handle such a vast variety of people from noobs (just saying) to developers. And about solving the problem well its one hell of a task and can hardly be achieved. But some strict rules should be applied to this forum
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
Since the "Iron fist" came in users are given a temp ban at 10 points now. Perm ban can be given anytime if it warrants it.

This is something that can be put to admin.

You are welcome and thanks for your post.:)

The issue is one hell of a task but if we can educate a little more rather than ban then it we are all winners.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] martin_s5670:
I think, the target to educate in a / in this forum is a little bit too idealistic. Educate a little more than bang is ok, but the main target of all forums is learning. IMO therefore the kids have to learn (besides all the good things about android / linux, PC etc) that rules are existing - everywhere. And you have ! NO ! rules, if there are no sanction. Direct reactions are necessary, to understand the social importance of rules - and not a pedagocical interaction (allways relative to a virtual forum).

Thanks for reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
I do not see no harm in trying to Educate specially when also we have language barriers to overcome. Maybe it is idealistic but we will not make progress ignoring the issue will we?

Anyway, some interesting points have been made by some users in this thread and i will mention them to admin.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] asfagus:
i posted a query for talking carl...why was i banned?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
You never posted a query, you asked for somebody to upload the apk or give you a link as i have just read your original post.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] asfagus:
k thanks i did not notice..so can i post a query for talking carl ?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] -HellRaiser-:
Ok i dont want to sound rude but does anyone really care if he/she gets infracted or for that matter perm ban?just go to any page get another account write 10 post and you are in dev section again.and this goes on again and again everytime someone is banned.there was no solution to this and there will never ever be.

so in short happy spamming to all.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
The truth is you can't stop a person from coming here if "he really wants to". He'll eventually find a way past the barriers you put in front of him unless he's really DUMB.

Just take a look at the bright side.

Even if 5 out of 10 spammers come back, it means that 5 spammers just gave up. Isn't that a good news? Just ban those 5 people and there are chances none of them will ever come back.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] chelsearulz5:
I got an infraction for posting about apps that are used to download warez.

No complains here.

There are many who ask developers for adding full versions/cracks of apps in their roms/themes..

@colussus

Btw why were pratush.creed and rajrocks banned??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] -HellRaiser-:
ha ha ha ha.

raj was thanking himself using another account........but the funny part is how did anyone came know about that???
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
If users are asking dev for paid apps then that is breaking the rules too.

Discussing users ban by moderation seems a bit unfair so i would rather not comment.;)

Again unfair to discuss users bans.

yes it would be a violation of rules.

I will look at the sticky when i get time buddy.:)

Wrong thread buddy but nice try.:p
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Mr.Oug:
Ah well i am not the right person to reply to this topic with the recent act that i did but here are a few suggestions. People over here are nothing but n00bs just a few advanced users. And when this n00bs keeps on bragging (You know about who am i talking about) its just gets out of hand. The problem cant be totally solved as people are bought up in different society with different people with different religions. And hence the problem arises. And i must say this is a pretty damm messed up Sub Forum
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
Hi Buddy,

Thanks for your comments and you have every right to reply and yesterday is forgotten.:)

It does seem to be noobs that are posting warez most of the time, do not know if it was them not understanding the rules or just plain ignorant to them. Something else seems to be following a trend and that most of them are asking for thanks so maybe that is there incentive?

The messed up sub forum i do not get as it is General with no Q&A forum yet??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
@colussus

ETA for Q&A Forum?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Mr.Oug:
i mean that it is messed up due to n00bs being the major audience here
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] colossus:
I will check on this later for you.;)

ok, i think things will be better when we a Q&A forum, at least it will be organised chaos then.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
From the rules,
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] MikeChannon:
In fact we have put in place a block on those with fewer than 10 posts being able to post external URLs.

Getting the first ten posts approved would be ideal, but not possible in practice. We have nearly 40000 users online at a time of which 1000 per day are new users and of course many from previous days have not yet reached 10 posts. In practice this means perhaps as many as 15000 users online have fewer than ten posts. It's just not possible to manually approve the 40 or so thousand posts per day that they make.:eek::eek:

The above two suggestions are interesting, but to be honest, I think the problem is that new users (and many older ones) simply have not read or remembered the rules. It's more ignorance of the rules than people not understanding or being clear about them.

We often get these issues arising in forums that are popular and have many new users. It is about educating them and they will learn that there are penalties for ignoring the rules.

Essentially the penalties and thinking are:

A PM warning - if what a person has done is very minor or perhaps is getting close to breaking a rule.

An infraction worth 5 points. When you get to 10 a ban is possible.

At 10 infraction points, the Forum Mod consults with other Mods and a decision is made about whether a ban is imposed and for how long it lasts. It could be from 1 day to permanent.

Posting or discussing Warez is seen as a serious offence at xda-developers. Why, because we are a site for Developers and when someone supplies Warez they are stealing from Developers. Some Developers who post free things here, earn their living from selling software or work for software companies, so folk that supply Warez are cheating our own developers.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
Ok.

Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] nishanty13:
Well, seriously I think most of the warez threads and posts is mainly due to thanks meter. I don't know what joy these noobs get by filling the thanks meter. Seriously they think that posting links of paid apps will fetch them more thanks. Due to this also many a times spam thread are made which results in bloating of general section and theme section. They just make threads and threads about unuseful stuff just for thanks. I don't say sharing is bad. Making thread about some useful or good stuff is fine but why spam. I think you people should add something like -1 or thumbs down button which cancels the thanks count. This could seriously decrease some amount of trolls and spammers as no one would like a -ve meter. If noobs are so mad in getting thanks they would then also be afraid of getting negative meter.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
and wouldn't trolls just spam the negative button on people they dislike?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
Maybe give that to people with 500+ posts...not to all...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] martin_s5670:
I think, then you need a method to get the posts even in this forum and not in e.g. dev-forum.

You mean, the number of posts is a sign / measure of quality? I dont think so in general, look at some threads in dev-forum. It would start a running to collect postcountings with "when comes update", "Yeah", "Gr8", ..., and Q's without searching - like already now.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] chelsearulz5:
Its a pretty good suggestion.

Maybe give it to people with 50+ thanks.

That would solve the quality of posts problem mentioned by Martin.

Sent from my Galaxy Fit @ Creed's Rom 3.0
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] nishanty13:
Yeah, 50+ post will be a good option. And I think a ban or infraction should be provided if the count hit too much -ve ( eg. -30~-40 ).
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] martin_s5670:
No, imo, the run for collecting thanks would start also - resp. the number of thanks !could also have to say nothing about quality - see actuallity.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] -HellRaiser-:
i think idea about -ve meter and this power being only given to members with 50+ thanks is very nice...........negative meter can be upto some point and then after that his account gets banned.........

mod should really consider this one..........
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
hmmm... i have another suggestion...

currently, every sub-forum (for eg, our fit's) has a single moderator...

but its practically impossible for any mod to read each and every post, to find if someone's breaking rules in any way...

and afaik, all mods currently handle atleast 2-3 sub-forums...

so, why not make a committee of "sub-moderators", consisting maybe 4-5 ACTIVE members of a sub-forum...they co-ordinate with the moderator and each other, have a few powers as well as responsibility, and their powers and responsibilities are restricted to their sub-forum only...not whole of xda...

this actually has potential, but again, like every other thing in the world, it does have its own limitations...

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

and regarding the -ve meter, mods should have the power as to who should have access to it, and who shouldnt...(i mean not everyone should be able to press the -ve button, unlike the thanks meter button)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Aspire:
I completely agree with you.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] nishanty13:
That's what I was thinking too.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] TeeJay3800:
Not a bad idea, but because of the size of XDA, that may not be easy to implement and monitor. For now, the best way to get my attention is by using the report function. Because of the issues you mentioned, we really depend on users reporting posts/threads that need to be addressed. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
You are our new mod??

What happened to colossus?!

Anyways, you can try to implement it on a small scale or experimental basis first...and if the results are encouraging, then slowly roll out to the rest of xda...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] martin_s5670:
I see it more or less as the same necessary way including some graduated sanctions - xda-forum now needs a revision.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] TeeJay3800:
Yep! It'll be my privilege to help you guys out. :) I'm not sure where colossus has been reassigned.

I'll definitely pass on your idea to the higher-ups. ;)

Just wanted to ask, have the powers of fsm's "decreased"?

Before, when there was any wrong/spammy thread, it used to get deleted right away...but now, most of the threads just get a mod edit, and the thread is locked down...

Have seen it around the general android forum, q&a and at a lot more places...

Iron fist recalled?

Typed on a small touchscreen
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] TeeJay3800:
Absolutely not. As long as the links to warez are removed and the thread is locked, no more harm can come from them. The benefit to not deleting a thread is leaving a record of the user posting the warez and when, as well as leaving it as an example of what happens when warez is posted. Mods don't announce what actions are taken against users in such situations, but trust me when I say that things like warez are taken very seriously and dealt with harshly.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
Hmm yeah, that explains it then...

And it wasn't warez I was talking about particularly...like for eg, in the gen android section, if anyone posts a question, then orb3000 just locked it down...

I thought, why keep an extra thread to be archived?
