Dude. The phone still has a browser. Go to Google and type "site: xdadevelopers.com whateverthehellyourelookingfor". I can't stand when people say, "Oh, I'm on my phone so I only have access to the app!" It's a smartphone people.

WTF

What's with you people? trying to act like boss all the way? This community is for helping people. When there's a question just answer it! OR DON'T. No one was born knowing everything. Period.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
No one is saying that you should know everything, just that you should try researching a little bit asking in a new thread.

I don't mind helping people, but it gets a little tiresome when people come here and rant about this and that with multiple threads discussing the same issues over and over again.

It seems like many people won't bother reading past the first thread Page.

The strange thing is that when you start a new thread you will get suggestions for similar existing threads to check out before you start your own, and still people will blindly press next.

I admit though, that the xda search tool is not the greatest. Searching with Google and adding xda as a keyword is for me a better way to search.

Wow... Did I write this long post? :O

FWIW Tapatalk's search function doesn't work over 90% of the time. On a computer XDA's search results suck and are very often irrelevant to my search.

I believe the OP was wondering why multiple people think they need to reply with search it or whatever. Instead of just leaving it at the first person that made that statement.

Agreed. Reposting "go search" is just as redundant as the proposed question.

I think the GNEX section is one of the best sections I have been in. Of course you will get some tough guys but I find that to be at a minimum in this section. You are only ruining it with posts like this that make things seem worse then they are.

I also love the people that post thing like, this is why I do not come here anymore or this is why people leave XDA. If those people who post these things would actually leave that would get rid of half the troll posts!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
Ok so my last contribution to this thread was a bit sarcastic. In reality it's not really fair to expect someone to read thru entire threads in many situations.

One should at least try a google search and if the answer doesn't come up in the first couple of pages it's fair enough to start a thread. Let's face it some xda threads are really long and there are often multiple discussions going on at once.

For example if I look at the Cyanogenmod thread, I really loose track of what's going on in there if I don't check it several times a day. If I leave it a week I'm not going to read the last 60 pages just to see if a bug in the nightly I flashed last week has been fixed. I'll probably check the change log then scroll back a few pages (maybe 10 at the most), and if I still can't find an answer I'll ask.

If someone cries at me because it was discussed at length three days ago, well I apologise for not being able to spend every waking moment checking the thread to keep up with what's going on.

What is annoying though is when someone starts a new "should I get an sgs3?" thread when there are already three others on the first page.

Just wondering for those who say use the search button, if 4 elderly ladies kept asking you where is the ketchup at the grocery store would you tell the 3rd and 4th lady to read the signs on the aisles?

My point is, if you have the answer to a question and are asked the same question over and over just answer it. If you don't want to answer it then don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
In many cases, I don't have the answer. But, I know that I either saw/remember it somewhere on XDA, or I am pretty sure it is there because 90% of the time, someone else has had the issue. And I always provide a link if I have it handy or after a quick search on my part (which the person asking could have done as well...)

The point is, "helping people" is NOT about giving them the answer, it is showing them how to find the answer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I'm feeling a little rant too. Some frustration comes from seeing Q/A topics over and over again in the General forum when instructions clearly state to not ask questions in the General section. Some cleverly leave the question mark out as if that makes it better.

Yet many topics keep reappearing like the all important "how do you carry your cellphone?"

Q/A topics should be taken to the kinder, gentler, and more caring Q/A forum.

You get the point. And ya know what? I didn't even search. I just browsed the last few days of threads.

So, obviously, people need to tell others to search. If that wasn't the case, we wouldn't have over 10 threads in the past few days asking if you should get the GNex of GSIII...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Unless I worked there, yes I'd tell them to figure it out. After the 2nd I'd get pretty tired of providing the answer to a question that the old ladies could easily figure out themselves. How old are they?? Have they never bought ketchup before??

EDIT: That goes back to the heart of the problem. I didn't know where the ketchup was. So I found it. If I can do it then others can do it. Same with the forums here. Many (I'd like to think most) of us have had these same questions before. We figured them out. So it's easy to get frustrated when you see someone with access to the same tools and information as you taking the lazy route. It's tough love. We just want them to harness their true potential.

So here is the deal. Is there any sort of way to make my galaxy note take pictures when i say "cheese" or "shoot" ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edas:
That's it!

This was what I did:

- Flash kernel (I've already tried different versions);

- Then it opens recovery mode (CWM or Devil, depending on the flash I did before)

- I install the rom from the "install zip from sdcard";

- After the installation, it says "Installation complete" but it wont restart automatically.

- I do "Rebbot system now" or "Power off";

- When rebooting or powering on the system, it opens the recovery mode again and doesn't boot the rom.

Any idea on how to solve this?

Many thanks in advance.

What's your current rom and what rom are you trying to flash? It could be that you have the wrong bootloader.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverchairbg:
same problem

Guys I have the exact same problem. Flashed 3 different kernels (hardcore-speedmod, CM9-galaxysmtd-Glitch-V14-B5 and Semaphore) so far with the same result. I install a desired ROM (CM10, SlimBean) and it says it is installed successfully.Whether I do "Rebbot system now" or "Power off", it always boots back into recovery, never tries to load Android. I've already formated and wiped everything on this phone and tried several times from scratch. Any idea why it does not even try to load android although it installs successfully? What should I try next?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salomonseen:
Hello, O'Holy XDA.

I'm a totaly newbie on this, and i was hoping to get some help. (sorry if my english is bad, I'm from Norway)

I have installed advanced hack tool kit on my device, and the ROM called Android Revolution HD. The phone boots perfect, but when i have typed in the Pin-Code, i get a whole bunch of messages nobody wants to see. The messages sounds like this;

-The application Facebook (process com.facebook.katana)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

-The process com.htc.bg has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

-The Application YouTube (process com.google.android.youtube)has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

-The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

When i press the button that says "Force close", the messages keep on popping up

on the screen. And from here, i cant do anything. I can't use the phone, because it just appears to boot from scratch, with that i mean that the HTC logo comes up, the same as when you turn the phone on, if it has been turned off, when i finally got those messages to stop popping up. Difficult sentence, sorry for that.

I dont know if i was stupid, but I thought it would be smart to format the sd card, but it didn't work at all. Now i feel like an useless kid.

Big thanks to the person(s) that can help me with this, it would be brilliant!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martimat000:
From what I heard, but it was released, and but it was released at the same time as the ICS source was, and so most demand for it went with ICS instead of Honeycomb...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] martimat000:
The SDK is available on the Google SDK Manager, and it may not have as many as components as ICS, but it's still there. It has:

-SDK Platform

-Samples for SDK

-XOOM2ME by Motorola Mobility, Inc.

-XOOM2ME by Motorola Mobility, Inc.

I hope this is useful for future reference.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bubbly193:
I wouldn't consider honeycomb obsolete. It's older, and designed for tablets. I'm sure an optimized version would run a lot better than ICS on the fire. In my experience, though, I've never seen any ICS rom truly run on the KF, only crawl, with a limp, and a severed leg. I currently have GB, but as google pointed out, it's not really tablet optimized.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomshot629:
Hi all,

I am having the same problem, except perhaps with a different cause. My user account on Windows 7 became corrupt and I can no longer log in, so I had to create a new one.

On the new account, my myTouch 4G is not recognized for mass storage/disk drive mode via USB. The USB cable does work, the port is okay, and I've used both with other devices. The myTouch shows as charging when connected to the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the myTouch drivers, restarted computer and phone, to no avail.

When it is connected in USB, it shows as generic "Drive F" and is inaccessible. When I check properties it says mytouch4g. When I check "Devices" it is recognized as portable storage. I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and have set "connected to computer" mode to disk drive.

Any thoughts? I thought possibly loading the generic ADB driver again might help, but I cannot get to the stage where I can force it to load that driver instead of the HTC one.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bigpeters:
I am running Devious aokp_mesmerizemtd_build-38 with the 3.1.10_IcyGlitch_SkunkWorks_I500 kernal. I am using the EH09 modem, as I have not found any others that give me any connection at all. My Mesmerize is a later build, and came with 2.3 from the factory. This seems to prevent me from using older modems from 2.2 and earlier. I have tried what I believe to be different radios, such as JPG, JPX, and JP9. I am flashing these thru Clockworkmod 5, many of them fail with a Status 7, and that ones that do flash seem to make no difference. I have tried different builds of AOKP and have had the same problems, but have not tried any other ICS roms.

I experience this mainly while using both the gps, and streaming radio together, but rarely when I am not using either as well. My signal will drop off, and the phone will remain stuck in airplane mode until a reboot. My wife has the same phone, with the same build number, IMM76I, and is experiencing the same problems.

I'm not sure what else to try, I am loving AOKP, and going back to 2.3 does not sound like a good option to me. Anyone had any luck with radios other that EH09 on a newer Mesmerize?

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Cyberguycpt:
So far Im loving this phone. My previous phone was a Htc One x which is equally a great phone but its Wifi and multi tasking issues drove me away. The GS3 seems to be much faster especially since apps stick around in the background and don't have to be reloaded all the time. I know its probably not alot but I can only imagine how much extra data I was using every time I switched between data based apps.

My only gripe about the phone, and its not even phone related is the launching of the GS3. Im glad I have my phone but not having a concrete date led me to buying my phone off Craigslist and having to pay a little extra. Not a big deal since I am paying a premium to be one of the first to get it in my hand; but I went to and callrd several stores and no one has any accessories. I get that it has not launched in store yet but their should be something since pre-orderes have already started shipping.

On a Side note me Htc One X is not retaining very much of its value. I put it on Craigslist for 480 initially and now its down to 440 and still no offers. Its not looking good for the future of the One x.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] mastarifla:
These phones are really not all the ram intensive, so the extra gig of ram really isn't needed or necessary, even with my multitude of apps running on my s3.

With that said its a shame that the one x isn't performing as well as the gs3 seems to be, because whats the phone really worth if your return on it isn't near what you paid for it?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Cyberguycpt:
I dont know about the ram because I just closed all programs and its at about 840 so im glad we have 2 gigabyes because one would have been pushing it.
